Jiajing forty-two years in early April.

Huating Hou Lu Li and Qian Guo Gong Mu Chaobi jointly performed.

Since August of the 41st year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates have come south, harassing the Ming kingdoms of Jiaozhi, Annan and Champaign, burning, killing and looting, causing disaster to all directions.

The Marquis of Huating was invited by the Kings of Ngee An, Hue and Cham, and led an army to enter the country to quell the Japanese pirates. After a month of war, the Japanese invaders were all pacified in the three places of Kochi, Annan and Champaign.

Due to living in the frontier for a long time, it is difficult to see the face of the sky, and my heart is to the kings of Ngee An, Hue, and Champaign of the Ming Dynasty, and I request to lead the members of the royal family back to the capital to settle down. palm.

Along with this memorial, there are also the memorials of the Kings of Ngee An, Hue and Champaign, which means the same as what Lu Li said.

Of course, I am grateful for the great tomorrow! If you didn't kill him on the spot, it was already a blessing!

In Yanjing City.

After receiving the memorials from the Marquis of Huating and the Duke of Qian, and from the three kings of Jiaozhi, Annan, and Champaign, the court dignitaries looked at each other in dismay.

No matter what kind of gratitude to God, what kind of request is attached, everyone is a discerning person. Whoever believes this kind of superficial article is an idiot.

There is only one real reason, and that is... Huatinghou has knocked down the three places of Jiaozhi, Annan and Champaign!

What the hell! Your mother-in-law actually knocked down the three places in the Champaign of Jiaozhi Annan?

To open up the territory for 3,000 miles, this is an extraordinary feat!

It's just... A few months ago, Lu Li banned Haijiang for a while, and in the courtroom from the elder Xu Ge, no one had a good impression of Lu Li.

No one wants to let Lu Li get this credit for this extraordinary feat of pioneering new territories.

"It's a big crime to open a border provocation without authorization!"

Someone immediately charged Lu Li with a crime.

"What else are you talking about? The three places in Jiaozhi have been beaten down, and the fights are over. Where did the border challenge come from?"

Provoking war without authorization is indeed a grave sin. But...is there a war? Huating Hou has already finished the battle. Where did the war come from?

"It is also a big crime to send troops to attack the Daming vassals without permission!"

Someone charged Lu Li with another charge.

"The three kings of Jiaozhi went to the table and asked the Marquis of Huating to send troops to pacify the Japanese. Now, after the Marquis of Huating has pacified the Japanese invasion in the three places, the three kings are grateful for the grace of God and ask for the attachment. Where did they attack the Daming vassals?"

Lu Li's superficial articles were done flawlessly, and he couldn't find any mistakes at all.

"Since the Marquis of Huating is just flattering the Japanese, then... it has nothing to do with him if he opens up the territory for 3,000 miles."

There are still people who are unwilling to give Lu Li this credit.

"The three kings went to the table, because Huating Hou protects the vassals, so they are grateful for the kindness of the future. This pioneering work cannot be bypassed at all."

After discussion and discussion, these professional trolls in the Ming Dynasty have nowhere to talk to Lu Li, and they can't find a troll at all.

Cabinet Wenhua Hall.

Elder Xu Ge looked at the playlist, pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Juzheng in front of him, "Taiyue, what do you think?"

"Teacher, the students think that the three places in Jiaozhi are naturally beneficial."

Zhang Juzheng bowed to Xu Ge and replied, "Teacher is the first assistant of the dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty opened up three thousand miles of territory. Naturally, it is the teacher's political merit, and his name will surely go down in history."

This is not true.

Elder Xu Ge nodded slightly. During my tenure as Shoufu, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory for three thousand miles. No matter who shoots down, it is my political merit.

"Taiyue, Huating Hou has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Once he occupies the three places in Jiaozhi, he will split the soil and seal the territory, and it will not be a problem to be called loneliness in the south."

A hint of fear flashed in Old Xu Ge's eyes, and he said, "I can't let Lu Li continue to sit. The court must have means to restrict him."

"Since it is attached to the table by the three kings of Jiaozhi, the garrison and officials in the three places are naturally appointed by the court, and the Marquis of Huating must not interfere."

Zhang Juzheng said quickly: "As long as Huating Hou has no foundation, he will not be able to break the ground and seal the border."

"Having said that, the Hou Jun of Huating is so powerful that even if you send someone to take over the three places in Jiaozhi, ordinary people can't stop it!"

Elder Xu Ge secretly sighed, this guy Lu Li is really good at fighting.

"Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Taizhou, and Yu Dayou, the commander-in-chief of Quanzhou, are all rare tiger generals. If you send them out to sit in the three places of Jiaozhi, you will have no worries."

Zhang Juzheng recommended two generals to Xu Ge.

"This time... it's fine too!"

Elder Xu Ge nodded, "Just do it!"

"Yes! The student quits!"

Zhang Juzheng bowed and left.

After going out, Zhang Juzheng looked up to the south and thought to himself, "Marquis Huating, I hope what you said is true. You just lay down the territory, and I will govern the territory. The place where the sun and the moon shine is the territory of Daming. What is this? What an amazing feat!"

That's right! Lu Li and Zhang Juzheng formed a gang!

One person is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of politics, and the two of them "divide the fruits of victory" in private.

...

Palace West Garden.

Emperor Jiajing had just finished entering the Dingxiu Immortals, and received a memorial from the great eunuch Lu Fang.

The usual memorial, the Jiajing Emperor did not read it at all. The memorial that can be sent to Jiajing must be read by Jiajing himself.

The southern Japanese and northern captives are gone, and the high-yield crops are also promoted nationwide under the auspices of Hai Rui. In the Ming Dynasty, Haiyan Heqing, the world has risen, and there is still a major event that needs to disturb my immortal cultivation?

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly and reached out to take the memorial.

A total of four memorials were sent by the three kings of Jiaozhi and Lu Li. Lu Li should have nothing to do with it, let's look at the memorials of the three kings of Jiaozhi first.

At this point... I'll go! what's going on?

Jiaozhi, Annan and Champaign, the three kings led the members of the royal family and requested the annex, and the military affairs of the three places were handed over to the imperial court.

Emperor Jiajing was slightly taken aback. These three nominal vassal states have not even paid tribute for many years, and they have not even given away the peacock feathers, so they actually proposed to attach it?

When his eyes fell on Lu Li's memorial, Jiajing immediately thought that this was absolutely inseparable from Lu Li.

When he opened Lu Li's memorial, Emperor Jiajing almost laughed.

Sure enough, it's you! Sure enough, it was you who beat up the Three Kingdoms of Jiaozhi, and they honestly thanked God and attached their request.

After destroying other people's country, he also said that he was grateful for the grace of God and asked for it to be enclosed. You boy, this hand is very slippery!

Three thousand miles of land was opened up, and the three places of Jiaozhi were included in the Daming territory. The great cause that Emperor Yongle had never completed, was actually realized in my hands?

This guy, Lu Li, is really my destiny. Defeat the Tatars, pacify the Japanese, stabilize the South, set up a municipal shipping department to relieve the emptiness of the treasury, and produce high-yield crops that can make the people of the world no longer have to worry about famine.

I don't have to do anything, I am the emperor of the ages.

It's really cool to lie down and win all the way!

As for someone slandering that Lu Li rebelled or something, Jiajing didn't believe it at all. This is not because he believes in Lu Li's loyalty, but... Lu Li is still single!

What is an orphan? This is the loner!

So lonely that he is the only one left, and he has no descendants.

A person who is not married and has no descendants, can he rebel? Even if he conquers the world, who will he pass it on?

"The Marquis of Huating has made an extraordinary feat again!"

A smile appeared on Emperor Jiajing's face, "For such an extraordinary feat, you should be rewarded!"

Afterwards, Emperor Jiajing decreed that Lu Li's title should be upgraded to another level, and he would be named Duke of Yue, in recognition of Lu Li's extraordinary achievements in expanding the territory for 3,000 miles.

The origin of this "Yue Guogong" is not only because Lu Li's hometown of Songjiang Prefecture belonged to the Yue country in the Spring and Autumn Period, but also because Lu Li made great contributions to the three places in Jiaozhi.

...

A month later, garrisoned troops and officials sent by the imperial court arrived in the three places in Annan of Cochin.

The three kings of Jiaozhi and members of the royal family have already taken Lu Li's transport ship to the north, planning to settle in the capital for a long time and admire Tianyan.

"Qi Jiguang, the last general, meet the Duke of Yue!"

"Last General Yu Dayou, meet the Duke of Yue!"

In the port of Jinlan Bay, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who led the army to guard Jiaozhi Annan, came to meet Lu Li.

Qi Jiguang was awarded the commander-in-chief of Jiaozhou, and Yu Dayou was awarded the commander-in-chief of Annan. He was already the chief military officer of a town.

"You two, please get up!"

It was Lu Li and Zhang Juzheng's attention to ask Qi Jiguang or Yu Dayou to sit in the three places of Jiaozhi.

However, Lu Li did not expect that Zhang Juzheng sent both of them here, which was a bit of a waste.

However, let them get acquainted with the environment first, and later... the Governor of Luzon, the Governor of the Golden State, and even the Governor of Australia and the Governor of Tianzhu, all have a chance!

During the ensuing conversation, Lu Li took out a world map and gave them face-to-face instructions.

"The world is so vast?"

The two of them looked at this world map, their eyes lit up one by one.

As a military general, the example of Yue Guogong Lu Li is in front of you. There are so many places in the world. I should work hard. When the time comes, I will open up the territory for 3,000 miles, and like Lu Li, it is not that I have no chance. !

"Yuan Jing, your goal is here."

Lu Li glanced at Qi Jiguang, stretched out his hand from Jiaozhou to Burma, and then to Tianzhu.

"Shisuke, your goal is here."

Lu Li also pointed out the direction to Yu Dayou, from Annan to Siam, all the way across the Malay Peninsula, all the way to Malacca.

"And I set out from the sea."

Lu Li stretched out his hand and rowed towards Luzon, Jinzhou (Sumatra), and all the way to Australia.

"What about here? There's still a lot of land here."

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou both looked at "North and South America" ​​on the map.

"The distance is a little far, and the voyage of the destroyer is not enough. Let's lay the foundation step by step. Once the bases around Australia are built, the Americas can be developed."

Lu Li was very satisfied with the performances of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. The world is so big that I can't finish it all by myself. I have to have many teammates.

Speaking of teammates, another new teammate arrived.

"Prince Yue, congratulations!"

The Duke of Qian, Mu Chaobi, came to Jinlan Bay and made a special trip to congratulate Lu Li.

Lu Li still admires the Mu family who have been in southern Yunnan for hundreds of years.

Although the Mu family has also had unworthy children and made a lot of troubles, but... Compared with the martial arts nobles in Yanjing City, the Mu family is the only martial arts nobles in Daming who can fight.

Lu Li also guessed something about Duke Qian's intentions.

Isn't it just because Lu Li brought such a small number of troops, but completely leveled the three places of Jiaozhi from south to north?

Now that the three places in Jiaozhi have been leveled, as a nobleman of martial arts in southern Yunnan, where is the Mu family without border pressure, what will happen in the future?

The Duke of Qian knew very well that the nobles and nobles who did not have the pressure of war would inevitably degenerate and decay. Just like the noble families in Jinling and Yanjing, the children in the family could not ride horses or draw bows. They only knew how to fight cocks and walk dogs.

"Prince Yue, I want to send troops to Burma."

As soon as Mu Chaobi opened his mouth, he showed his determination, and he was ready to fight and expand his territory like Lu Li.

"There is no need to fight in Burma, I guess the king of Burma is already on his way to Jiaozhi."

Lu Li smiled, took out the world map again, and pointed at the map, "Where do you want to go? It's everywhere here. You can hit it anywhere!"

Tianzhu, Luzon, Jinzhou, Java, Australia... Qian Guogong followed Lu Li's fingertips and looked at the map one by one, but his eyes were straight.

Such a vast world, we have a lot to do!

"Prince Yue, Brother Lu, help me!"

Mu Chaobi's face was full of excitement, he reached out to hold Lu Li's hand, shaking violently, "I need your guns and artillery, I need your warships, and..."

"All! All! I'll give you as much as you want!"

From last year to the present, Luli's Jinshan Industrial Zone has been making guns, artillery and ammunition, and Jinshan Shipyard is also constantly building ships.

Today, the fourth batch of destroyers at Jinshan Shipyard has been completed. In this batch of destroyers, Zheng Yuan built fifty ships in one go.

Lu Li's 100 destroyer plan has been completed ahead of schedule.

Even if Duke Qian wanted a destroyer, Lu Li could take orders, arrange sailor training, and arrange for instructors to guide him.

"Good brother! Thank you! Thank you!"

The Duke of Qian was full of joy, "I want to equip 50,000 soldiers and horses with guns and ammunition, and I also need 20 gunboats and 100 troop carriers."

"no problem!"

Lu Li was also very happy, and received another large order for the military industry.

Later, following the example of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, Lu Li recommended various military supplies to the Duke of Qian, and also sent a recruit training manual, and sent a team of 1,000 instructors.

The Duke of Qian spent a lot of money and owed a mortgage. He led a thousand instructors sent by Lu Li and went back happily.

...

In the mansion at the Jinlan Bay port, Lu Li sat in the study, looking at the report materials sent from all over Nanzhili.

Today's Nanzhili, where the guards are thriving, is no longer the image of the beggar that it used to be.

Forty-two guards each established brick kilns, cement kilns, porcelain kilns, glass kilns and various light industrial workshops such as textile and chemical industries.

The huge output has made the industrial and commercial development of the southern Zhili area extremely fast, and there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.

Massive amounts of silver, like rivers, flowed like a river, driving the rapid development of the commodity economy, which actually gave birth to a somewhat prosperous scene.

Heavy industrial development in the Jinshan Industrial Zone has also exploded.

All kinds of machinery and equipment powered by steam engines were purchased by merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty. Even though Jinshan Industrial Zone continues to expand its production capacity, it is still in short supply.

Most of the people who buy these equipment are the sea merchants on the southeast coast.

After Lu Li defeated the Japanese pirates, Daming's overseas trade developed rapidly. As long as the taxes are paid normally, the destroyer fleet will not only not be embarrassed, but will also protect the interests of the Ming merchants.

Any force that dares to threaten the safety of Daming sea merchants' personal property and property will be mercilessly bombarded by artillery.

Once, a Japanese daimyo killed a Ming sea merchant, and the artillery fire of the Beihai Fleet blew the city of this daimyo to the ground.

Since then, no one has dared to disrespect Daming Haishang again.

Japan and Korea have become the dumping grounds for the goods of Daming maritime merchants.
