"Du Lang, the foreign lady who came with you is very beautiful?" Xue Guanyin said.

　　 "Yes." Du Bian said, "Should I introduce you to you? She likes women."

　　 Blood Guanyin's face flushed, and he smiled: "No wonder."

　　 Then she lay in Du Bian's arms, quietly listening to him telling the story of the past six months. But he didn't say anything about the rift in the world or the succubus, focusing on the interesting things that happened in the Viking Kingdom and the sailing of the sea.

　　 "Our Jiaolong is the most advanced warship in the world?" Xue Guanyin said.

　　Du Bian: "At least it looks like this now."

Then Du changed his words: "Now that the navy division of the South Vietnamese Nguyen clan who rebelled against the king has been wiped out, the fleet of the Eastern United Kingdom will not enter our seas for the time being. You must seize this precious time and take your sailors on board. On board the battleship Jiaolong, carefully follow the Princess Leanna to learn to ensure that you can master this battleship in the shortest possible time."

　　Blood Guanyin's beautiful eyes opened wide and said: "This warship, give it to me in the future?"

　　 This woman is really true. She obviously served as the captain of this battleship. She was obviously serving Du Bian's life, but in her mouth it turned into this battleship as a gift to her.

　　 is definitely dazzled by love.

　　 "Yes, here you are." Du Bian said.

　　 Suddenly, the kiss of the blood goddess of mercy is not like money.

　　 She is so excited!

　　 Now her lover has not only returned, but he has also become so full of masculine charm, and has become so strong, he is like a man with a devilish figure.

　　 Now she can finally feel comfortable with her.

　　 And the point is that Du Bian seems to have matured a lot, and she will not be the same as before. Others can tell at a glance that she is several years older than Du.

　　 "How is the situation in the Annan Kingdom?" Du Bian asked.

Xue Guanyin said: "After you disappeared, Nguyen Thi’s rebellion quickly organized a huge counterattack. More than 350,000 troops attacked Hue House. Not only his own army, but also a mysterious mercenary. At that time, the Hue Mansion was crumbling, and the entire sea area was completely blocked by the fleet of the Eastern United Kingdom. The army of King Li Chang and Duke Song Que lacked everything. It was the most dangerous moment at that time."

　　 When Du Bian went to the capital, he did get some information. At the same time as Li Ruhai attacked Du Bian, Ruan's rebellion would also launch a counterattack. He wanted to wipe out all the forces of Du Bian, King Li Chang, and Duke Song Que in one fell swoop.

　　 However, I did not expect Du Bian to win the battle first.

Xue Guanyin said: "After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the enemy’s army was fighting more and more, and our supplies became more and more scarce. At the critical moment, General Ji Shi led a 50,000 army to help, and he also brought twenty artillery pieces. The material resources from the southwest have been continuously transported into Hue Prefecture."

　　 At that time, King Li Chang did not send a letter of assistance to the Southwest, because he knew that Du Bian was not there, and worried that no one could take the initiative and send troops to support the Annan Kingdom. Once he wrote the letter for help, no one responded from Du Bian's Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, which ruined the friendship between the two sides.

　　 However, Li Wenyu hesitated for two days, and then Li Zhan, Fu Hongbing, Ji Shi and others were invited to discuss and decide, and finally decided to send troops.

　　 So, the Lord Ji Shi Shao led the Third Army to aid Hue Mansion.

　　 The king of Li Chang burst into tears with gratitude at the time. He dared not send out a letter of help because Du Bian was away, but the other party still sent 50,000 reinforcements, which was a real relief.

"Two months after the fierce fighting, Ruan's rebellion against the king suffered 80,000 casualties, and once again withdrew three hundred and fifty miles." Xue Guanyin said: "Duke Song Que and King Li Chang seized the opportunity to hunt down and regained hundreds of miles of territory in the three palaces. , Created the second Hue victory, which greatly hurt the vitality of Nguyen's rebellion against the king."

　　Du changed his way: "This also caused Nguyen's rebellion against the king to completely fall to the Eastern United Kingdom?"

　　 Xue Guanyin nodded and said: "Yes, Ruan Ni is actually still very rebellious. Recently, he has been negotiating with the Eastern United Kingdom. The battleship King Power is the sweetness of the Eastern United Kingdom."

　　Du changed his way: "Unfortunately, this broken ship is now also ours."

　　……

　　 When Du Bian’s battleship Jiaolong, dragged the scarred cruiser King Power, and ten captive warships of various colors appeared in the port of Shun’an Sea, the crowd in the port was completely boiling.

　　 Du Bian walked to the deck and saw King Li Chang, Queen Ning Chen, and Song Que, Duke of Naning Empire, all in the harbor.

　　 The battleship has just docked, and drums are blasting in the harbor.

　　 King Lichang organized a grand welcome ceremony.

　　 Du Bian and Xue Guanyin hurriedly disembarked from the battleship, came to King Lichang, and bowed and said: "Foreign Minister Du Bian, pay homage to His Majesty the King."

　　 King Lichang returned the courtesy and bowed to the end: "Marquis Du Bian, thank you for your great grace! Generations of the Li family will never forget the kindness of Marquis Du Bian."

　　 Du Bian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the King and I are on each other's lips and teeth, and we should look after each other."

　　 King Lichang looked at Du Bian for a long time and said: "Seeing you come back safely, I... really overjoyed and even breathed a sigh of relief."

　　 Next, Du Bian invited King Li Chang, Queen Ning Chen, and Duke Song Que of Zhennan to board the battleship Jiaolong for a visit.

　　 The three of them were amazed while watching.

　　 was completely shocked by this huge ship. King Li Chang stroked the thick gun body and said, "Marquis Du Bian, we have really fallen far behind the world."

　　 Du changed his way: "For this, foreign ministers have a lot of experience overseas."

　　 King Lichang said: "I hope we will catch up and fight for the day."

　　 Next, King Li Chang hesitated and stopped, but after all he did not say anything. Because for the Daning Empire, although he is the most loyal ally, he is an outsider after all, and some things are hard to say.

　　 Next, Zhennan Gong Song Que and Du Bian had a private conversation.

"Now that Nguyen’s rebel king is negotiating with the Eastern United Kingdom, we deliberately want to take the opportunity to go south and destroy the Nguyen clan, so as not to wait for the forces of the Eastern United Kingdom to officially land in the Annan Kingdom, it will be difficult to completely eliminate him. "Duke Song Que said: "But with my army and King Lichang's army, it is difficult to completely destroy him, so I need your help from the Marquis Mansion in West Zhenxi."

"However, the Daning Empire is engaged in a decisive battle with the Jurchen Empire. This is a real battle for national destiny." Duke Song Que said: "And Dubian, your army has become the backbone of the empire. Once you participate in the war in the north, It is difficult to send troops to support the Annan Kingdom."

　　 Du Bian narrowed his eyes.

　　 In this situation, to support the Annan Kingdom is to support yourself.

　　Because the entire Annan Kingdom is the rear of Dubian, the two sides have exchanged information and exchanges have been very close.

　　 Once Nguyen's rebellion is eliminated, King Lichang will rule the entire Annan Kingdom, and Du Bian will have no worries in the rear. The key Eastern United Kingdom has also lost this landing base.

　　 But the decisive battle between the North and the Jurchen Empire really concerns the fate of the Daning Empire.

　　"Standing in the southwest of Lee

Yishang, I hope you will send troops to the south, and we will destroy Nguyen Thi and rebel king. "Duke Song Que said: "But in the interests of the empire, I hope you will focus on the war in the north. Once I win the Jurchen Empire, my Daning Empire is really in sight. "

　　 Du Bian pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Song, I wonder if you know about the Southwest?"

　　 Zhennan Duke Song Que's complexion suddenly became complicated, and said: "You mean Wang Jianshu went to Guangxi and actually took the post of Governor of Huguang, and the capital sent a large number of officials to the southwestern provinces?"

　　 Du Bian nodded.

Duke Song Que was silent for a while and said: "From a personal emotional point of view, I certainly support you. But after all, you have disappeared for half a year. The entire Southwest group of dragons has no leader, and the Li family's power in the Southwest is still extremely large. The resurgence of his ashes."

Then, Song Que said: "Your Majesty said that the southwest of the empire was defeated by Du Bian. If someone says that Du Bian has become a prince of the empire, it is a prince. Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot. But after all, the three provinces of the southwest still is……"

　　 Every sentence of the Duke of Zhennan is very embarrassing and contradictory. He had no choice at all between Jingcheng and Du Bian.

　　 Du Bian is completely understandable.

　　 "As for your reforms in the southwestern provinces, I support it." Duke Song Que said: "Moreover, I have sent my son Song Yu to your subordinate to study the New Deal. He is now serving as a prefecture under your command."

　　 Du Chang was shocked and said, "Let the world know me? Is this too wronged?"

　　 Zhennan Gong Songque sighed: "His muscles have been abolished, he can no longer be a military commander, he can no longer lead the army. Moreover, his temperament is relatively weak, not suitable for battle on the battlefield."

　　 "As for myself..." Duke Song Que did not finish.

　　 Accompanying the King of Li Chang, Duke Song Que of the south of town had a meal. After receiving sufficient supplies, Du Bian’s battleship Jiaolong went north again to Lianzhou Port.

　　……

　　The new policy of Dubian has been implemented in the three southwestern provinces for only about eight months, but it has already undergone astonishing changes.

　　 First of all, there is a sudden increase in food production.

　　 The three southwestern provinces are not big grain-producing provinces, otherwise Du Bian would not send troops to Hunan.

　　 The food in the three southwestern provinces was barely self-sufficient.

　　 I didn't expect that after all the fields were allocated to the farmers, there would be such a great enthusiasm for production.

　　 There were very few self-employed farmers in the southwestern provinces before, and land mergers were very serious, so the enthusiasm for production was average.

　　 After these farmers got the fields, they tried everything they could. They burned the ashes and picked up any manure they could see, just to increase the fertility of the farmland.

　　In addition, Dubian’s Zhenxi Marquis Mansion provided loans to farmers, allowing several families to buy cattle together, and then repay the loan with grain.

　　 There is also a subsidy policy for newly reclaimed land, the deployment of troops to build water conservancy, and so on.

　　 In the past eight months, food production has increased dramatically by 39% compared to the year before.

　　Moreover, the warlocks of Peerless Dungeon are researching new seeds and new crops.

　　 In fact, there are many new crops in Peerless Dungeon, and the output is amazing. However, the water there has been contaminated by radiation. The decision-making team of the Marquis Mansion in the west of the town is very careful and did not bring the seeds out for large-scale planting, but only conducted small-scale experiments.

　　 But it is foreseeable that the grain output of the three southwestern provinces will surely increase again this year.

　　 Not only food, but also salt farms, mines, metal smelting, weapon manufacturing, and wax cloth all achieved a surge in output.

　　Especially weapons, metal smelting, with peerless dungeon team and minerals, it is completely advancing by leaps and bounds.

　　 Steel production, light gold production, secret gold production, and all-ferrous metal production have doubled and skyrocketed, much higher than when the Li's chieftain was in full bloom.

　　As the artillery of the **** of war!

　　After several months of exploration, the artillery manufacturing workshops in the southwest have now been established, and there are three in total, all of which are in the secret mountain, and there is even one in the Peerless Underground City, and there are also two gunpowder manufacturing workshops.

　　 Of course, neither artillery nor gunpowder has yet to be mass-produced. But it's already a leap from nothing.

　　 Even the army has been expanded from two hundred and thirty thousand to three hundred thousand!

　　 In short, the energy exploded from the New Deal surpassed everyone's imagination, including Li Wenying, Li Zhan and others.

　　 Not to mention the capital, the surrounding provinces, and the people in the party.

　　 They felt that the southwestern provinces had just gone through a great war, and it would be good to be able to restore people's livelihood two or three years ago.

　　Especially the literati families, big landlords, and so-called elites in the three southwestern provinces all withdrew from the southwest. Everyone asserted that without the leadership of these elites, the mud legs in the southwest would definitely be messed up.

　　 Those people sent by Du Bian have not passed the imperial examinations, have not been selected by the Juren, and even have no talents. How could they manage the local civil affairs? Just wait for the entire southwest to be eroded and the people will not live.

　　 However, I didn't expect that under the military, strict laws, and the joint efforts of thousands of officials, the so-called New Deal of Anti-change would explode such great results in less than a year.

　　 This is shocking, wrong, and even terrifying.

　　 Many elite families of scholar-bureaucrats are afraid. Doesn't this mean that the southwestern provinces can still prosper without us?

　　 How can this be?

As a result, countless scholar-bureaucrats, countless scholars, frantically attacked the New Deal in the three southwestern provinces, frantically slandered the achievements of the New Deal in the three southwestern provinces, described it as a **** on earth, and described Du Bian as an unprecedented rebellion in thousands of years. The evil spirits that crawled out of **** were extinguished in the same day.

　　 Then, news of Du Bian's death spread widely.

　　 Countless people celebrated with their crowns, ecstatic, they used all their strength to declare to the world that Du Bian was dead. She vomited blood and died in Princess Ning Xue's bridal chamber.

　　 Rumors that Du Bian is dead have been circulating for several months.

　　 Now, almost the entire Daning Empire believes that Du Bian is dead. Even officials from the three southwestern provinces have greatly affected the production and construction of the entire southwest to a certain extent.

　　 Immediately afterwards, there was an influx of officials from the capital. The Governor of Huguang, Wang Jianshu, entered Guangxi, and there was a huge contradiction with the officials of Du Bian's line.

　　 As a result, the great development momentum of the three southwestern provinces was once again hindered.

　　Especially those officials who are loyal to Du Bian, most of them come from Peerless Underground City, as well as the direct line of Du Bian Dongchang.

　　 There are countless rumors that Du Bian is dead, and of course their morale has been declining, and some have even lost their goals.

　　 Because Du Bian doesn't even have an heir. Once Du Bian really died, they didn't even know who they were loyal to, and completely lost their direction.

　　……

　　 At night, Dubian’s battleship Jiaolong docked

Arrived at Lianzhou Port.

　　 At first, the defenders of the harbor were still on the verge of an enemy, but they were overjoyed when they finally found Du Bian's figure!

　　 "Master Marquis is back!"

　　 "The lord is back."

　　 "The lord is back!"

　　 Suddenly, all the defenders of the entire port surged out, and soon after, the whole defenders of Lianzhou Mansion surged out.

　　 Looking at Du Bian, his eyes were extremely excited and extremely ecstatic.

　　 There have been countless rumors in the past six months that Du Bian was dead, and almost everyone believed it, except for his army.

　　Because many people in Dubian's army have seen his miracles with their own eyes. In their minds, how could Du Bian die?

　　 At this time, I saw Du Bian appearing again, and the transformation was completed from the inside to the outside, and the walking was full of dragons and tigers.

　　 Thousands of troops were so excited, they knelt down one after another.

　　 "The Lord returns!"

　　 "The Lord returns!"

　　 "Long live the lord, long live!"

　　……

　　 The moment Princess Yuzhen saw Du Bian, he couldn't believe his eyes at all.

　　 Then tears burst out wildly, and he rushed over to hug him.

　　 But, when he was still a foot away from him, he stopped, just watching him silently crying, and his heart was extremely excited and ecstatic.

　　 "Everyone says you are dead, but...I don't believe it!"

　　 "You really grew up a lot!"

　　 Du Bian stepped forward and gave Princess Yuzhen a gentle embrace.

　　 After being excited, Princess Yuzhen said: "Du Bian, hurry, go to Nanning Mansion to rescue Chen Ping."

　　 Du Bian was surprised: "What happened to Chen Ping?"

　　 Yuzhen County Lord said: "Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu has arrested him, and he is being tried in public to behead him."

　　 As soon as these words came out, Du Bian exploded!

　　 You, Wang Jianshu, a good cabinet minister. You don’t want to come to the southwest to fight for power with me, and want to kill my confidant?

　　 Are you going crazy?

　　 Do you really think I am dead?

　　 Suddenly, Du Bian said angrily: "Chen Ping is the bookkeeper of the Marquis Mansion in the west of my town, and is my confidant. If the Governor of Huguang wants to arrest him, let them arrest him? What about your army?"

　　Du became really angry. He had hundreds of thousands of troops, but his henchman was taken away and he was beheaded?

　　How did Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu arrest Chen Ping? Does Du Bian's army eat dry food?

　　 Princess Yuzhen said: "Master Li Wenying will not let the army be dispatched. He doesn't want to intensify the conflict between the two sides."

　　 Du Bian was surprised: "What did Chen Ping do?"

　　 Princess Yuzhen said: "He killed one prefect and three prefects sent from the capital!"

　　 Suddenly, Du Bian could hardly believe his ears.

　　 Chen Ping? The weak genius boy, the shy boy who could not participate in the imperial examination because of his disfigurement due to poison, actually killed one prefect and three prefects?

　　 "Why?" Du changed.

Princess Yuzhen said: "Because your officials have already collected taxes from the people once, but the prefects of Wuzhou and several prefectures have once again levied taxes on farmers in the province. The people resisted taxes and were suppressed by the prefects of Wuzhou. Chen Ping is People from Wuzhou, so they begged Chen Ping. Chen Ping led the Dongchang warriors to Wuzhou Prefecture to investigate. There was a fierce conflict with the local government, and one prefect and three prefectures died."

　　 This, this is really a big case.

　　 killed four court officials, and one of them was a high-ranking official of the fourth rank. This was a charge of treason and was to be executed.

　　Du changed his way: "At that time, the capital sent officials to Guangxi, why didn't the foster father stop it?"

　　 Princess Yuzhen looked at Du Bian and said, "Because of the imperial decree, Master Li Wenyu is a loyal minister and cannot be stopped!"

　　……

　　Huguang Governor's Mansion!

Li Wenyu said sternly: "Your Excellency, Jiang Shu! You and I are all for the empire. You led hundreds of officials into Guangxi. I didn't stop it. For the past few months, I have tolerated for the country and have been ordering military restraint. Don't have a violent conflict with you. But if you dare to sentence Chen Ping to behead, you will be at your own risk."

The Cabinet Minister and Governor of Huguang, Wang Jianshu, said passionately: "Duke Wen, you and I have been in personal relationships for more than ten years, and you can be regarded as close friends. I know that you are a loyal minister. Isn't Wang Jianshu a treacherous minister? Please remember, The three southwestern provinces belonged to the Daning Empire, not the independent kingdom of Marquis Du Bian. Chen Ping was the confidant of Marquis Du Bian, but he was complicit in the murder of the imperial commander ~lightnovelpub.net~. If not, what is the dignity of the imperial court? Could it be that he, as the confidant of Marquis Du Bian, can get away with it?"

Wang Jianshu pointed to Li Wenyu and said loudly: "Duke Wenyu, you are an official of the imperial court, not a private official of the Marquis of Du Bian. You must correct your personal position. Guangxi is the province of the empire, not Du Bian. The private domain of the Marquis."

　　 "Come on, take the official uniform and hat of the Governor, I want to try Chen Ping's case in public."

　　 "President Wen, Wang Jianshu's good head is here. If you want to rebel, you can take my head away at any time!"

　　 "Chen Ping, I will definitely kill! If you don't kill, where is the court law?"

　　 Then, Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu put on his official uniform and hat, went to the lobby, and tried Chen Ping publicly.

　　 The young Chen Ping still has an ugly face because of the poison.

　　 Wearing shackles, he knelt on the ground quietly.

　　Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu slammed the alarm and said: "Prisoner Chen Ping, you are conspiring to kill the court commander, and you are inexcusable of the crime. Can you plead guilty?"

at the same time.

　　 Du Bian led hundreds of cavalry, rushed into Nanning Mansion and rushed towards Huguang Governor Mansion.

　　 In an instant, the sky was surging, and the mountains were about to rain.
