"Sea Trade Conference, the second sea trade conference was held in Ningbo, His Royal Highness King Shun delivered a speech!"

"The Age of Discovery, the Age of Discovery is coming, come and take a look, take a look, it only costs a penny!"

"Haimao Bank was established with ten thousand taels of silver per share."

When Li Zicheng brought Tian Jianxiu and others to Hangzhou City, they saw that the citizens on the street were crazy, talking about something while the newsboy kept yelling.

"My father-in-law, what's the news?" Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but pulled a rather kind-faced old man and asked.

"Hey, you don't know?" The old man couldn't help but laugh, "His Royal Highness just made a speech about the coming of the Age of Discovery. It is said that those of us who live by the sea will become more developed in the future."

"Oh, by the way, Shaanxi people like you will probably have to drink from the northwest wind in the future!"

"You!" Even though Ida Jianxiu had a good temper, he couldn't help but punch him twice after hearing this.

"Old Tian, ​​what are you arguing with him about?" Li Zicheng frowned and couldn't help but stop.

"Master, you don't know something. This guy arranged for us!" Tian Jianxiu then told Li Zicheng exactly what he had heard.

"What's it worth?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but shouted in a low voice after hearing this, "If you have such leisure, you might as well buy a newspaper and read it to see what he said. It's better than arguing with him."

"Hey, that's true!" Tian Jianxiu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly pulled the newsboy to buy a newspaper.

"Sir, do you want to buy Jiangnan Xunbao or Wuzhong News?" The newsboy couldn't help but ask.

"Oh? What's the significance of this?" Tian Jianxiu asked curiously.

This was the first time he had seen such new things, and for a while he couldn't tell the difference between the two.

"This Jiangnan Xunbao was created by 'Lou Dong Erzhang', and it specializes in talking about the injustices in the world." The newsboy laughed when he heard this, "This Wuzhong news was created by the Gu family in Kunshan, advocating sea trade and equalizing the land. Quan, specifically to compete with that Jiangnan Xunbao."

"Oh? Then have a share of the same!" Tian Jianxiu took out two copper coins and handed them over.

"Okay, one for the same!" the newsboy shouted as he took the money and quickly twisted out two newspapers.

"Master, there's something wrong with this!" Na Tian Jianxiu glanced briefly, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly reported to Li Zicheng.

"What's wrong, Lao Tian?" Li Zicheng felt strange.

"Look, His Highness wants to vigorously develop maritime trade. If this happens, Shaanxi will be finished!" Tian Jianxiu said worriedly.

"Isn't that true?" Li Zicheng was a little unconvinced.

He was born in Suide, where men only know how to fight and kill.

Now you tell him that sea trade will affect his hometown of Shaanxi, but he cannot understand the logical relationship.

"That...that" Tian Jianxiu actually seemed to understand this. He couldn't say anything about it. He just felt it was not good based on his intuition, so he advised, "I will meet His Highness later. I will be in charge of the plate the most." It’s better to ask!”

"Okay, then!" After all, Shaanxi is also my hometown, so I still have to help if I can.

When Li Zicheng rushed to the Hangzhou government office, Sun Kewang was reporting this time's taxes to Zhang Shun.

"Including the previous items, the actual total income this time is one hundred and sixty-seven thousand five hundred and thirty-three two-nine thousand and four cents!" Sun Kewang concluded quickly when he saw Li Zicheng arriving.

"Okay, that's right. Let's take part of it to pay the Navy's wages first, and store the rest for the time being and use it later to build the Navy!" Zhang Shun warned.

"Ah? Nowadays, military pay is tight. Your Highness, you don't need any?" Sun Kewang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

"It has been agreed that it will be used for the construction of the navy, so it must be used for the construction of the navy. How can it be used for other purposes?" Zhang Shun said seriously after hearing this.

"This is a long-term plan, not a quick one!"

"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous!" Sun Kewang was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but bowed deeply.

"Okay, you go!" Zhang Shun heard the question and ordered directly, "In the last trade, we only sent some warships to escort us, but we did not send envoys."

"This time you take my king's credentials and go see the shogun!"

"Yes, general, take your orders!" Sun Kewang saluted after hearing this, and then strode away.

"Li Zicheng, the last general, has met His Highness!" Seeing Sun Ke look away, Li Zicheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Hey, General Li came just in time. I just have a few things to entrust you with!" Zhang Shun noticed Li Zicheng early and said.

"One is the Xu family of Songjiang Prefecture. They are members of the Xu family who were the chief ministers of the Ming cabinet. Xu Fuyuan, a direct clan member, defected to the pirates. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I ask you to confiscate his family and use the property for military purposes."

"One is that the land south of the Yangtze River is almost in my hands, but the areas of Fujian and Huguang have not yet been pacified. I want you to send the Dang Shousu battalion to garrison Wenzhou. Then send the Zhou Yuji and Xu Du battalions to go to Quzhou and invade Jiangxi."

"My husband, Jiangxi, is located between Huguang, Jiangnan and Fujian. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, just like Shanxi. If I get it, I can control Huguang, Fujian and Guangzhou. If I get it, I can also control my land in the south, Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Today, the troops of Xiong Wencan in Huguang, Zhang Jingxin and others in Guangzhou are stretched thin, and the imperial court has never set up the post of governor. Jiangxi is empty, and it is suitable for the general to take it for me."

"If the general takes Guangxin, he will rush to Nanchang, and then send a thousand men to garrison Ganzhou to prepare for Guangzhou, a thousand men to garrison Jianchang to prepare for Fujian, and a thousand men to garrison Yuanzhou to prepare for Huguang. Then he and Huang Sunmao of the Navy stationed in Anqing will Let’s work together to capture Jiujiang.”

"Now that Jiujiang is under control, we can attack Huguang on all three fronts!"

It turns out that Jiangxi is surrounded by mountains, and the flat and fertile part is the basin formed with Poyang Lake as the center.

However, the Jiangxi basin is different from Shanxi and Sichuan. Due to the penetration of the Yangtze River, a huge gap is formed in the north, and this gap is the connection between Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River - Jiujiang.

It is this unique terrain that leads to Jiangxi's extraordinary position in the battle between Huguang and Jiangnan.

If Huguang captures Jiujiang, it can then go straight down the river and threaten Nanjing.

If Jiangnan takes Jiangxi, it can threaten Huguang from Yuanzhou and Jiujiang, making it impossible to take care of both ends.

In the past, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought at Poyang Lake, and later during the San Francisco Rebellion, the Qing army defended Jiangxi, all of which were like this.

Chen Youliang was defeated at Poyang Lake, so his imperial career was in vain.

Although Wu Sangui was powerful throughout the world, he did not have access to Jiangxi, so he could not rule by dividing the river.

Zhang Shunhe saw the weakness of the remnants of the Ming army at a glance and formulated a plan to attack Jiangxi.

"The last general takes orders!" When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately understood the connection between the two.

First, they ransacked the Xu family's homes to accumulate military resources.

Then, they sent soldiers to attack the Huguang flank.

Now that the rebels are marching south of the Yangtze River, Xiong Wencan must be unprepared.

When Xiong Wencan arrived in Jiangxi, he couldn't take care of both ends, and his defeat was inevitable.

But when Li Zicheng heard this, he suddenly couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart: "What about you, Your Highness?"

"Me? I'm going back!" Zhang Shun looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.

The higher his status, the more important his status, and the more he can't help himself.

In fact, if possible, he would like to stay for a while longer to finish things in Jiangnan and then go back in glory, but time does not allow it.

Compared with the complicated affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, things in the north are more important.

At this time, he needed to go back and personally accept Hou Jin's letter of surrender.

Or, to put it more bluntly, he is going to be emperor!
