Lu Li's superficial writing was flawless, and he couldn't find any faults at all.

"Since Huating Marquis is just fighting against the Japanese, then...it doesn't matter to him to expand the border and expand the land for three thousand miles."

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

"The three kings came to the table, because Huating Marquis protected the vassals, and thanked the great tomorrow. This achievement of opening up the territory cannot be bypassed at all."

After discussing and discussing, these professional trolls of the Ming Dynasty Hall had nowhere to talk to Lu Li, and they couldn't find a point to troll at all.

Cabinet Wenhua Palace.

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

"Teacher, the students think that the three lands of Cochin are enclosed, which is naturally a great benefit."

Zhang Juzheng bowed to Elder Xu Ge and reported, "Teacher is the chief minister of the dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty opened up three thousand miles. It is naturally the contribution of the teacher's governance, and his name will go down in history."

This is not true.

Elder Xu Ge nodded slightly.During my tenure as chief assistant, Daming expanded its territory by three thousand miles.No matter who brought it down, it is my political contribution.

"Taiyue, Marquis Huating has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Once he occupies the three lands of Jiaozhi and seals off the border, it will not be a problem for the south to be called Gu."

A trace of fear flashed in Xu Ge's old eyes, and he said, "Lu Li cannot be allowed to sit on the throne. The court must have a way to restrict him."

"Since it is included in the above list of the Three Kings of Cochin, the garrisons and officials of the three places are naturally appointed by the court, and Marquis Huating is not allowed to intervene."

Zhang Juzheng said hastily: "As long as Marquis Huating doesn't have a foundation, he won't be able to break the ground and seal the border."

"Having said that, the Marquis of Huating is too powerful, even if he sends someone to take over Jiaozhi, ordinary people can't stop him!"

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

"Qi Jiguang, the general of Taizhou, and Yu Dayou, the general of Quanzhou, are rare generals. If they are sent out to occupy the three places of Jiaozhi, they will have no worries."

Zhang Juzheng recommended two generals to Mr. Xu Ge.

"This time... is also good!"

Elder Xu Ge nodded, "Let's do it this way!"

"Yes! The students leave!"

Zhang Juzheng bowed, said goodbye and left.

After going out, Zhang Juzheng looked up to the south, and thought to himself: "Huating Marquis, I hope what you said is true. You only need to conquer the territory, and I will manage the territory. The land illuminated by the sun and the moon is all the territory of the Ming Dynasty. What is this? What an astonishing feat!"

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

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

……

Palace West Garden.

Emperor Jiajing had just finished cultivating immortality, and received a memorial from the eunuch Lu Fang.

Emperor Jiajing didn't even read ordinary memorials.The memorial that can be sent to Jiajing must be read by Jiajing himself.

The southern and northern barbarians are gone, and the high-yield crops have been promoted nationwide under the auspices of Hai Rui. In the Ming Dynasty, Haiyan, Heqing, and the peace of the world, there are still major events that need to disturb my cultivation of immortality?

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly, and reached out to accept the memorial.

There are four memorials in total, sent by the Three Kings of Cochin and Lu Li respectively.Lu Li should be fine, let's read the memorial of the Three Cochin Kings first.

Looking at it... I will go!what's going on?

Jiaozhi, Annan and Zhancheng, the three kings led the royal family members and requested to be attached, and the military and state affairs of the three places were handed over to the imperial court.

Emperor Jiajing was slightly taken aback. These three titular vassal states hadn't even come to pay tribute for many years, and they didn't even send peacock feathers, so they proposed to enclose them?

When his eyes fell on Lu Li's memorial, Jiajing immediately thought that this must have something to do with Lu Li.

Opening Lu Li's memorial, Emperor Jiajing almost laughed out loud.

It really is you!Sure enough, it was you who beat up the Cochin Three Kingdoms, they honestly thanked God and asked for it.

After destroying other people's country, they also said that they were grateful for the grace of heaven and asked to be attached.You boy, this hand is very slippery!

To expand the territory for three thousand miles, to bring the three lands of Jiaozhi into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the unfinished feat of Emperor Yongle, has actually been realized in my hands?

Lu Li is really my destiny.Defeating the Tatars, pacifying the Japanese invasion, Ding Annan, setting up a city ship division to relieve the deficiency of the national treasury, and also producing high-yield crops that will make the people of the world no longer have to worry about famine.

You don't have to do anything, I will be an emperor through the ages.

It's really cool to lie down and win the whole process!

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

What is an orphan?This is Gu Chen!

He was so lonely that he was the only one left, and he didn't even have any offspring.

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

"Marquis Huating has made another extraordinary achievement!"

A smile appeared on Emperor Jiajing's face, "Such unworldly feats should be rewarded!"

Afterwards, Emperor Jiajing decreed that Lu Li's title would be promoted to another level, and he would be made the Duke of Yue, in recognition of Lu Li's extraordinary achievements in expanding the territory for three thousand miles.

The origin of this "Duke of the State of Yue" is not only because Lu Li's hometown, Songjiang Mansion, belonged to the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, but also shows Lu Li's great achievements in conquering the three lands of Jiaozhi.

……

A month later, the garrison and officials sent by the imperial court arrived in the three places of Cochin and Annan one after another.

The Three Kings of Cochin 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, admiring Tianyan.

"The last general, Qi Jiguang, pays homage to Duke Yue!"

"The last general, Yu Dayou, pays homage to Duke Yue!"

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

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

"You two, please get up!"

It was Lu Li and Zhang Juzheng's attention to let Qi Jiguang or Yu Dayou come to sit in Jiaozhi.

However, Lu Li didn't expect that Zhang Juzheng would send both of them here, which would be a bit of a waste.

However, let them get acquainted with the environment here first, and in the future...the governor of Luzon, the governor of Jinzhou, even the governor of Australia, and the governor of Tianzhu, they all have a chance!

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

"The world is so vast?"

The two looked at the world map, their eyes shining brightly.

As a military commander, the example of Lu Li, the Duke of Yue, is just ahead. There are still so many places in the world. We should work hard. When the time comes, we will expand the territory and expand the land for three thousand miles. Like Lu Li, it is not impossible to confer the title of Marquis and Duke. !

"Yuan Jing, your goal is here."

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

"Shisuke, your goal is here."

Lu Li pointed out the direction to Yu Dayou again, rowing from Annan to Siam, crossing the Malay Peninsula all the way to Malacca.

"And I set out from the sea."

Lu Li reached out and paddled towards Luzon, Jinzhou (Sumatra), and all the way to Australia.

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

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

"The distance is a bit far, and the range of the destroyer is not enough. Let's lay the foundation step by step. After building the bases around Australia, we can develop the Americas."

Lu Li is very satisfied with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's performance. The world is so big that I can't finish it all by myself. I must have many teammates.

Speaking of teammates, another new teammate came to the door.

"Duke Yue, congratulations!"

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

Lu Li admired the Mu family who had been in southern Yunnan for hundreds of years.

Although the Mu family also had unscrupulous children and caused many troubles, but...Compared to the martial arts nobles in Yanjing City, the Mu family is the only martial arts noble in Ming Dynasty who can fight.

Lu Li also guessed a little about Duke Qian's intention.

Isn't it just watching Lu Li take such a small army, but completely wiped out the three lands of Jiaozhi from south to north?

Now that the three lands of Jiaozhi have been flattened, as a military nobleman sitting in southern Yunnan, without the pressure of the border, what will the Mu family do in the future?

Duke Qian knew very well that the martial arts nobles who were not under the pressure of war would inevitably degenerate, just like the martial arts families in Jinling and Yanjing, whose children could not ride horses or draw bows, and only knew how to fight cocks and walk dogs.

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

As soon as Mu Chaobi opened his mouth, he expressed his determination, ready to fight out, and to expand the 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? There are everywhere here. You can fight anywhere!"

Tianzhu, Luzon, Jinzhou, Java, Australia... Duke Qian followed Lu Li's fingertips and looked at them one by one on the map, his eyes staring straight.

With such a vast world, we have a lot to do!

"Duke Yue, Brother Lu, help me!"

Mu Chaobi was full of excitement. He reached out to hold Lu Li's hand and shook it violently, "I need your guns and artillery, I need your warship, and..."

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

From last year until now, Luli's Jinshan Industrial Zone has been continuously making guns and ammunition, and Jinshan Shipyard is also constantly building ships.

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

Lu Li's plan of [-] destroyers has been completed ahead of schedule.

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

"Good brother! Thank you! Thank you!"

Duke Qian's face was full of joy, "I want to equip [-] soldiers and horses with guns and ammunition, and I also need [-] gunboats and [-] troop carriers."

"no problem!"

Lu Li was also very happy, and received another big order from a military enterprise.

Afterwards, Lu Li imitated the example of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, recommending various military supplies to Duke Qian, and also sent a training manual for recruits, and sent a team of 1000 instructors.

Qian Guogong spent a lot of money and owed a mortgage, took the [-] instructors sent by Lu Li, and went back happily.

……

In the mansion at the port of Jin Ran Bay, Lu Li was sitting in the study, looking through the report materials sent from various places in Southern Zhili.

Today's Nanzhili, all the guards are thriving, and they are no longer the image of a beggar like before.

There are 42 guards, each of which has established brick kilns, cement kilns, porcelain kilns, glass kilns, and various light industrial workshops such as textile and chemical industries.

The huge output made the industry and commerce in the southern Zhili area develop extremely rapidly, and there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going.

A large amount of silver, flowing like a river, has driven the rapid development of the commodity economy, and it has given birth to a somewhat prosperous scene.

Heavy industry development in the Jinshan Industrial Zone also exploded.

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

Most of the buyers of these equipment are maritime merchants along the southeast coast.

After Lu Li wiped out the Japanese pirates, Daming's overseas trade developed rapidly.As long as taxes are paid normally, not only will the destroyer fleet not make things difficult, but it will also protect the interests of Ming merchants.

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

Once, a Japanese daimyo killed a Ming maritime merchant, and the artillery fire from the North Sea Fleet blew up the daimyo's city to the ground.

From then on, no one dared to be disrespectful to Daming Maritime Merchants.

Wa and Koryo have become the dumping grounds of Ming maritime merchants.
