Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

It is said that every fat man has potential. Now Hou Yao really felt the profound meaning of this sentence personally.

Under Chen Yu's powerful attack on 'The Jade Rabbit Can't Bounce', he couldn't resist and spit out a lot of nosebleeds.

When Chen Yu saw that Hou Yao had so much nosebleeds, he naturally wanted to help him clean it up.

As a result, in the rush, the ambiguous movements between the two made Hou Yao's nosebleeds even more violent.

In the end, Hou Yao could only excuse his physical discomfort and run away.

Chen Yu looked confused and could only clean it up, and then slowly digest what Hou Yao had just said to her.

……

Early September.

Through the efforts of Hou Yao and Shen Yu, the asset layout in northern Myanmar has basically been on the right track.

At this time, King Yin also led his troops back to Longchuan.

After the news of breaking the navy's siege of the capital came in early July, King Xi took Zhu Liang'ao and Chen Kun's two princess guards and the army of the famous general Deng Zilong back to King Qin of Beijing.

But halfway through, I received news that the capital city had been destroyed.

Then came the news that King Zhou was about to ascend the throne, and then came the announcements from King Ning and King Chu.

King Tan estimated the strength he had in hand and found that he only had five men to fight.

Although the Princess Guards have strong combat capabilities, they may not be able to sustain the war without logistical ammunition supplies.

In desperation, King Xi could only choose to return to Myanmar first. Now he could only fight back to the capital with Hou Yao's support.

Ten miles outside Longchuan City, Hou Yao waited with a welcoming team of 2 people for nearly half an hour before welcoming King Xi's troops.

King Tan was also very pleased with such a large welcoming team.

"Your Highness has worked hard all the way."

Hou Yao greeted him enthusiastically. In fact, with his current strength, there was no need for this prince who didn't know if he would have a chance to ascend to the throne.

But after all, he is also Ji Wenjun's biological brother, so he still has to be given three points of praise.

King Tao had a tangled look on his face. He really didn't know how to deal with this man who made his own sister pregnant before marriage.

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Hou Yao, you... do you think I should give you a good beating? I asked you to take care of my imperial sister. You are really careful in taking care of me."

Hou Yao looked embarrassed, but he still agreed with this in his heart. He really took care of her very carefully, taking care of everything from her hair to her toes.

"I'm not following His Highness' orders. I rely entirely on His Highness to take care of me."

King Tao was suddenly speechless, feeling like he wanted to get angry but couldn't.

More importantly, he has no way to deal with Hou Yao now.

The main troops around him were all trained by Hou Yao. Without Hou Yao's nod, he would not be able to command any soldiers.

Even Deng Zilong, an authentic Daxia general, is now receiving a salary from the Baoan Army.

If Hou Yao declares a food shortage, the army will mutiny in a matter of minutes.

"It's my fault, that's all. Anyway, it's the imperial sister who likes you, so you can do whatever you want. But now that the country is corrupt, your marriage may not be possible for a while. How do you plan to marry the imperial sister? Explain?"

"This... I actually don't have any plans. It's all up to His Highness."

"Forget it, I don't want to mess with you about these matters of love between children. You can decide for yourself. By the way, my father's whereabouts are unknown now, and my royal brothers have each occupied part of the territory. Do you think I What should the king do?”

The domestic situation in Daxia is now very pessimistic, and King Xin himself is in a remote place with no soldiers or power, so Hou Yao has become his only life-saving straw.

Hou Yao laughed:

"Your Highness is worrying too much. The people of Great Xia have not lost their hearts. A few changes are not enough to destroy the country. Instead of thinking about how to compete for power with those imperial brothers, Your Highness should think about how to completely stabilize the Burmese border. When Taizu started his army, A great scholar proposed a nine-word policy, and I thought it would be appropriate for His Highness to use it now."

King Tan said with a surprised look on his face:

"Nine-character policy? How come I haven't heard of it?"

Hou Yao smiled and said:

"Building cities high, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king. In fact, as long as His Highness does not fight or rob, and wholeheartedly opens up borders for the country, the people will be grateful to His Highness. When the time comes, even if His Highness has no idea of ​​becoming king, the people will take the initiative to welcome him. Make His Highness the Emperor."

King Xun suddenly realized it, and the words "I will take the initiative to welcome His Highness as the emperor" just scratched his itch.He immediately laughed and said:

"Okay, Hou Yao, with your words, I can rest assured. Then can you tell me what I should do next?"

Hou Yao thought for a while and said:

"Move to Baigu City, pacify the entire Myanmar border, and first completely stabilize the situation in Indochina. If you advance, you can return to Beijing to fight for the emperor, and if you retreat, you can secure one side. It has been in an invincible position from the beginning."

King Tan laughed loudly:

"Okay, what an invincible position, then I will listen to you. I will move the town to Baigu City and make Indochina a complete province of Daxia."

……

November.

King Yin officially moved to Baigu City, formally appointed officials at all levels, and established the Chief Envoy of Myanmar, which shocked the world for a while.

This move established great prestige for King Xi. While the other princes were busy fighting among themselves, there was another prince who was opening up territory for Daxia.

This alone made King Xin compare with all the other princes.

With King Yin in charge of Myanmar, Hou Yao planned to return to Bao'an. After all, he was the county magistrate of Bao'an.

Myanmar's planning has been completed, and bridges and roads are being built everywhere. As long as the highway between Myanmar and Yunnan City is built, Myanmar will no longer be able to rebel.

At the beginning of December, Hou Yao left two sisters, Shen Yuluoyan and Shen Yuluoyan, to help King Xi take care of government affairs.

Deng Zilong's army was all equipped with flintlock guns and made them the personal guards of King Tan.

At the same time, Na Lixuan was introduced to King Xi.

Compared to Hou Yao, who was powerful but of humble birth, Na Li Xuan was more willing to submit to the noble King Xin.

With the three personal guards and Narixuan's [-] Siamese army, this strength can already sweep across the Indo-China Peninsula.

So Hou Yao officially returned with the princess, Yu Xiuer and others.

The most boring people on this expedition were Francis and Sebastian.

It has no effect at all and is a waste of food.

Because Hou Yao wanted to use Francis to deal with religious forces, he didn't say much and just silently took the two of them back.

Just as Hou Yao was returning, a bloody battle took place in Acapulco, thousands of miles away.

……

In early February, Li Jingfeng and others finally landed at the port of Acapulco.

This is a port ruled by the Spanish. Li Jingfeng and others did not dare to make any big moves when they first arrived, so they could only accept the rule honestly.

Through this research, Matteo Ricci finally pinpointed the reason why there was no illness on board the ship to vegetables.

It's just that this is the base camp of the Spaniards, and the Spaniards are loyal believers in Catholicism.

And he belongs to the Protestant Church, and now the war between the Protestant Church and the Catholic Church has reached an endless stage.

As a Protestant, going to Catholic territory was tantamount to courting death.

When he had the courage to go to Manila, it was because he got the news that the Spanish army had been wiped out, and he wanted to take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, I didn't get a bargain and got myself involved.

Therefore, after arriving in Acapulco, he was even more afraid than Li Jingfeng and others, and he did not dare to reveal any clue that he was a Protestant.

Instead, he helped Li Jingfeng and his party act as translators everywhere, hiding their origins.

In this way, Li Jingfeng and many others successfully settled in a village near Acapulco.

Mexico has a vast territory with sparsely populated land and fertile land. Po Haijun and many other people quickly found a geomantic treasure land to settle down and live a good life.

In just half a year, they developed into a large and wealthy village and attracted many indigenous people to seek refuge.

At this time, the Spaniards in Acapulco stopped working. Since there were no ships coming from Manila for more than a year, the livelihood of these Spaniards was seriously affected.

They were all pirates who were used to robbing people. Naturally, they couldn't sit still when they saw that such a wealthy village had developed next to them.

So in early August, during the first harvest, they sent people to the villages to collect taxes.

Li Jingfeng endured it at that time and handed over some food and property to the people who came to collect taxes.

In October, the Spaniards came to the village for the second time to collect taxes.

Three Spanish tax officials once again came to Pohai Village to collect taxes. The fat tax official in charge looked arrogant and did not take these Asians seriously at all:

"Now I order you to hand over [-] kilograms of grain within three days, otherwise you will be arrested."

Matteo Ricci translated the words of the three tax collectors to Li Jingfeng and others, and everyone was instantly furious.

However, Li Jingfeng still felt that it was not the time to fall out, so he endured it.

Ask Matteo Ricci to translate. Can you negotiate a price and pay [-] kilograms?

You, the Spanish tax official, have never heard of people paying taxes and still bargaining:

"No, you can't pay the taxes, just come with me and tell me in jail. I believe you can pay the taxes after a few days in jail."

As he spoke, the two tax soldiers behind him were ready to take someone.

Seeing that the Spaniards wanted to capture Li Jingfeng, everyone in the navy became anxious.

Now Li Jingfeng is everyone's think tank, and he is also the only one among many people who has read a book. You can't arrest anyone who is a scholar.

Boss Liu was a pirate leader with a bad temper, and he had already had enough of these Spanish tax collectors.

He kicked two tax collectors and knocked them to the ground, and then slapped the tax collector on the head.

"Damn you, the robbery was done to your ancestors."

The Spanish tax official was a fool. After being beaten, he immediately became intimidated and did not dare to fight against the navy any more. He immediately fled with the two tax pawns.

As soon as Li Jingfeng made a move, he knew that this matter was serious.

Everyone was asked to pack up all their belongings overnight and then hid in the mountains. Only two informants were left in the village to keep an eye on the Spaniards' actions.

Sure enough, the Spaniards came to the village with a large group of people the next day, and as a result, only a few natives were left in the village.

The Spanish massacred all the natives and set fire to the village.

The home he had worked hard to build for more than half a year was destroyed, and Po Haijun was completely angry.

"Brother Li, these ghost guys are bullying people too much, let's fight them."

Li Jingfeng pressed his hand:

"Everyone, calm down. Although everyone's matchlocks are still there, everyone has no gunpowder in their hands. Those ghost guys have matchlocks in their hands. If we go to fight them now, we will be at a disadvantage. This matter must be considered in the long run."
