Dengzhou Military Port.

Xie Yuan led a group of generals to give Xiao Ming a military salute.

Yesterday they brought the news of the naval battle to Qingzhou, and the next day the emperor arrived in Dengzhou in the earliest steam locomotive.

Xiao Ming returned a military salute to Xie Yuan, and he walked towards the dock while waiting for Xie Yuan's report.

"Your Majesty, the fleet that attacked the Great Chongqing Kingdom was a combined fleet composed of Britain, France, and Spain, and the number of warships was seventy-six, all of which were three-class sail main warships, and in yesterday's fierce battle, we sank a total of seventy-four warships, lost seven hybrid warships and four third-class sail warships, killed 8,000 local soldiers, captured 3,000 soldiers who fell into the water, and only two warships deliberately let them escape." Xie Yuan cautiously reported the battle situation.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming stopped, he glanced at Xie Yuan with interest, and asked, "Why did you allow the two warships to escape?" ”

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, his forehead was slightly sweating, and he was a little afraid of being blamed by Xiao Ming, but after taking a deep breath, he still decided to say his true thoughts: "This joint sneak attack on Dengzhou Military Port by Britain, France and Spain must be to despise the navy of the Great Chongqing State, and I am confident that this sea power is up to them. As a result, the navy of the Great Yu Kingdom sailed more smoothly in the South China Seas, after all, they were afraid, they did not dare to start the war easily, and the merchant ships of the caravan were safer. ”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, it was easy for them to sink the remaining two warships, but to him, it was obvious that the value of these two warships returning to Europe was much higher than the value of sinking them.

First, he needs the countries of Europe to have a clear understanding of the Great Chongqing now, so that these powers will not make trouble for him everywhere, or at least less trouble.

Second, since the unification of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the territory under his control is increasing rapidly, such as Goryeo, Wa, Yaxa, the Philippines, and there may be more Nanyang colonies in the future.

These new land needs to be slowly digested by the Great Chongqing State, so after the capture of Malacca, the Great Chongqing Congress will use Malacca as a boundary to demarcate its own sphere of influence, and slowly consolidate its power in these areas, so that the enemy will not dare to act rashly is what they want.

After all, the simple occupation was not enough to bring the benefits of the colonies, and he needed these colonies to provide the output of ore, food, and labor for the Great Chongqing State to achieve profitability.

Otherwise there is no value in capturing a losing colony.

"You have done a good job, deterring these maritime powers, stopping the war with war, and playing the majesty of the Great Chongqing State is what is needed at present, and at the same time, we need to find time to operate the area under control."

Xiao Ming appreciated.

Although the European powers were colonies all over the world, these colonies belonged to different countries, and now the control of Asia by the Great Chongqing State is much more difficult.

"Emperor Xie praised him, but it was mainly his credit to be able to defeat this combined fleet this time." Xie Yuan said and introduced Li Wei to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming looked at this admiral who was a little thin in stature, but his eyes were extraordinarily attentive, and he said: "You, very good, can lead twelve warships to almost destroy the enemy's warships, this time I want to reward you heavily." ”

Levi's face was excited, and he immediately gave a strong military salute and said in a loud voice: "Thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, showing a deep sense of gratitude, the army is important, but the position of the navy in the Age of Discovery is unshakable, and in the future he needs the navy to seize maritime supremacy, provide safe routes for the caravans of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and send soldiers to remote colonies.

So he said to all the admirals: "This naval battle and other battles to destroy the enemy, and to make a name for themselves, you will all be richly rewarded for the list of commendations that the cabinet will draw up this time." ”

The generals suddenly became happy and cheered: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

Seeing that the generals and soldiers were so fanatical, Xiao Ming's heart was very steady, after all, the Great Chongqing State is now an imperial system, and the loyalty of the soldiers to the emperor is very important.

After condolences to the soldiers who participated in the naval battle, Xiao Ming and Xie Yuan and other generals went directly to the naval officer's office.

At this time, Xie Yuan asked: "Your Majesty, we have captured two very important people, one is Wilson, the commander of the combined fleet, and the other is Dick, a parliamentarian from the United Kingdom, especially this Dick, if he spits it out, the emperor must be interested." ”

One of the purposes of Xiao Ming's visit was to interrogate the captives, because he was now curious to know what was happening in Britain and France, after all, because of the obvious difference in appearance, the secret guards could not penetrate the interior of Britain and France at all, which made him lack understanding of the changes in Europe.

Now with these captives it's different, and you can always find a few willing to talk.

"Bring them here." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, the weight of these two captives was very heavy, one was a parliamentarian, and the other was a senior admiral, even if they were redeemed, it was estimated that they would get a lot of money.

After receiving the order, Xie Yuan ordered the soldiers, and after a while, the embarrassed Dick and Wilson were escorted all the way by the two soldiers.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor of our Great Yu Kingdom, aren't you clamoring to see Your Majesty? Now there is something to say quickly, and there is a fart to let go quickly. Xie Yuan yelled unceremoniously.

Dick and Wilson looked at the young man sitting in the center of the official office, and they were both a little surprised, like their queen, the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom was also very young.

However, the queen's strength was built on the strength of Britain, and the young emperor personally brought the kingdom of Chongqing from poverty and weakness to the prosperity and strength it is today.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I am the British Councillor Dick, this is Wilson, as a nobleman, I protest against the great Yu State treating us so rudely, any nobleman captured in Europe will be treated politely." Dick forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.

Wilson glanced at Xiao Ming and didn't speak, but his unruly eyes told Xiao Ming that he was still a little timid.

"Your aristocratic etiquette seems to be valid only for you Europeans, and you have never spoken any etiquette when you slaughtered the natives of other countries." Xiao Ming said coldly, "I'm very busy, I'll tell you now, if you can provide valuable information, I can spare you from dying, if not, your fate is to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks." ”

Dick's body suddenly went limp, he was pampered when he was in England, and he had never seen such an arrogant monarch.
