"Oh? So is Polo Chi in the capital now? Liu Hong smiled gradually.

In fact, in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has been supporting the Chahar Khanate in armaments, also in order to have a certain strategic buffer between the Ming and the Rakshasa State.

Of course, that was because the Ming Dynasty had to do it as a last resort because of internal and external turmoil at that time, but Rao was still opposed to Liu Hong's gradual sale of strategic weapons such as guns and grenades to Chahar.

They think that the nomadic ancient people are wolves that can never be raised, as long as you don't give him food, they will bite back, and this has been the case for three hundred years in the Ming Dynasty.

But Liu Hong gradually didn't think so, in his eyes, the nomads were much better than the Dongying people, as long as they were handled properly, the grassland people were the tigers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were hardcore.

The only ones who can't really feed are Dongying people.

"The commander is clever, that Polo Chi is indeed in the capital, and he writes every day to see Your Majesty." Liang Kewang said truthfully.

Polochi naturally came to Daming to ask for reinforcements, but Zhu Cihong has never paid attention to him since he first summoned him to discuss with the cabinet.

"Hehe, it's bitter for this old man." Liu Hong shook his head slightly.

Speaking in good conscience, Liu Hongchuan still respects Polochi very much, after all, although the national strength is weak, Polochi has been working hard for the country, and when Nai's luck is not good, there are hungry wolves in the west, and the allies in the east also love to ignore it.

Before going to Dongying, Liu Hongjian greeted Xiao Zhu, if the Rakshasa Kingdom raided Chahar, he should be a bystander, and if he attacked the Ming Dynasty, he should strictly defend it.

According to Liu Hongji's words, the root cause of solving the strategic buffer is to directly destroy the Rakshasa and make Siberia the back garden of the Ming Dynasty, which has always been in Liu Hongji's grand plan.

While plotting against Siberia, the Chahar region is naturally among them, Rao is that Chahar has been very respectful to the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, but so what?

The respect between countries still depends on hard power, although Polochi is a patriot who has worked hard, but the Ming Dynasty has never lacked loyal ministers who have died.

It seems that it's time to go back, Liu Hong gradually said.

"What happened to the Ordnance Institute and Tianjin Bao Shipyard?" Liu Hong asked after making up his mind.

"Lord Hui, the latest news I got is that the all-steel battleship has been welded, and the kerosene engine of the Ordnance Institute has also been successfully developed.

"Good!" Liu Hong's excited roar startled Liang Kewang.

The battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division were already very strong in terms of defense, but they were limited to power problems and firepower problems, and they did not have much advantage in the war with the Dutch, which was also the reason why Liu Hongjian did not have a hard fight with the Dutch.

Now the power problem has been solved, and the defense power of the all-steel shell plus keel is several times stronger than that of the first generation of covered ironclad ships.

"Do you know who solved the ignition problem of the kerosene engine?" Liu Hongjian asked again.

Daming's industrial development is slightly unbalanced, which is probably caused by Liu Hong's gradual uprooting.

For example, in terms of machinery, the Ming industry has been able to achieve welding and piston engines, but it has not invented generators.

"This humble position is not very clear, it seems that one of the students of the engineering college is named Yu Jian, who invented a storage motor." Liang Kewang frowned and said.

The Ordnance Institute has always been the core institution of the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the fact that the Jinyi Wei family was subordinate to Liu Hongji, Liang Kewang would not even find out about these at all.

Although Liu Hongjian didn't quite understand what this storage motor was, he must have been inspired by the previous potato power generation.

"It can't be a battery!" Liu Hong gradually muttered.

"Any other news?"

"There are two more princesses and one prince in the palace!"

"I ...... R"

……

In the council hall of Shimane Castle, Liu Hongji, Nanazaemon, Liang Kewang, and a group of Praetorian Guards, sailors, and personal guard generals sat together.

Liu Hong is gradually going back to Daming, this is a matter that was decided last night, but Dongying is in chaos now, and everything must be arranged after so long.

The question of who goes and who stays has become a big question.

"Ermu, after this king leaves, this place will be handed over to you, my sniper team can give you ten good hands, you only need to secretly train the soldiers, and train the soldiers belonging to the Ming Dynasty." Liu Hong gradually said meaningfully.

The eastern part of the country was in turmoil, and the fleeing Toei people kept Shimane and Hiroshima in the first line of troops, but the large-scale conscription was easily detected by the shogunate and other daimyos.

Once Shimane's military prowess emerges, the scuffle is likely to spread to his territory, and the shogunate and other daimyo will not sit idly by and watch Nanazaemon become bigger.

After all, no matter how powerful the sniper is, there are no more enemies, which is the fundamental reason why Shimane can develop steadily, in the eyes of the shogunate and other daimyos, Shimane is just a small place, and after dealing with the big enemy, it can be easily recovered.

Secretly training soldiers is the first priority of the Seven Saemon.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates must live up to their mission." Nanazaemon said solemnly.

Liu Honggradually promised to take him back to the Ming Dynasty when he completed this and ask for credit for him in front of His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, which was very important to the Seven Leftaemon, and he had the blood of the Han people in his body, but he had never set foot on that land.

"Du Qianhu, you and the brothers of the Praetorian Guard will stay here as instructors, and the personal guard battalion and the sailor battalion will return to Daming with this king." Liu Hong gradually looked at Du Yongan, a thousand-household official of the Praetorian Guard who had his brows twisted into twists.

"Lord, I...... I want to go back and fight you. Du Yongan knew that what he said didn't count, but it was probably Liu Hong's usual good speech, so he retorted euphemistically.

The reputation of the Praetorian Guard was made by fighting with Liu Hong, and everyone's official positions were also awarded for their military exploits, Du Yongan knew that this time he would definitely go back to fight again, so he didn't want to be absent.

"A soldier should make it his duty to obey orders." Liu Hong gradually did not waver in the slightest.

"Yes, my lord, I obey." Du Yongan said with a bitter face.

"What are you doing with a sad face? The king will leave all the grenades for your defense, and when he returns, he will also order a fleet to replenish a batch of muskets, and the next time he comes to the king, he will see an army that is loyal and not weaker than the Praetorian Guard. Liu Hong gradually glared at Du Yongan and said.

The elite of the 1,000-strong Praetorian Guard assigned 500 people as instructors, and each group of 10 people was responsible for training 500 Japanese people, and it was not easy to be detected by those who were interested in it.

As for why you don't transfer troops directly from Daming, hehe, isn't it more interesting for the Dongying people to fight the Dongying people?

"Remember, your life is Ming, so don't be stupid to rush if you can let the Japanese go to yourself, there will be future achievements." Liu Hong gradually saw that everyone was silent, and reminded solemnly.

Two days later, Liu Hongjian boarded the ship back to Daming with the personal guard battalion and the soldiers of the 1,000th Naval Division led by Cui Geng.

The ships were still those armed merchant ships, but there were only a thousand fewer people, and the remaining merchant ships were not empty, and the large silver ingots of Iwami Silver Mine were full.

Liu Honggradually believed that this was the best gift to Xiao Zhu and the imperial court.
