    At noon, in the tea-sipping quiet room of Qiwang Palace in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province.  Jiang Xia and Yuan Hanqiu sat opposite each other. In front of them was a small square table of dragon-grained wood. On the square table was a chessboard made of black jade and gold.  The chess pieces used by the two men were made of fine jade.  Such a treasure naturally does not belong to Jiang Xia, but to Yuan Hanqiu.  However, in recent days, Yuan Hanqiu has been riding a bloody horse or a century-old golden nanmu carriage.  Every time I bring it, I don't take it away, which is equivalent to giving it to Jiang Xia in disguise.  This time, this chessboard, which is too extravagant to be attached, will probably be the same.  During the chess game, Yuan Hanqiu said to Jiang Xia: "Your Majesty, according to the latest news, Xiao Qing and King Lu cooperated and sent a total of 120,000 troops. Among them, only 40,000 actually rushed to Shanxi. The actual main force,  In fact, it has already gone to the capital. Do you think I should lead the army to intercept it? " Yuan Hanqiu took the initiative to mention this, with two intentions.  Firstly, to test Jiang Xia's strength, and secondly, to test whether Jiang Xia trusts him.  If Jiang Xia agrees to intercept him, it means that Jiang Xia lacks strength, but still trusts him.  If Jiang Xia does not agree to intercept him, it means that he is confident that he can resist Xiao Qing, but he does not trust him very much.  How could Jiang Xia not know the intention behind this question, even if he was advancing or retreating?  He raised his head and glanced at Yuan Hanqiu, then shook his head slightly.  When he shook his head, Yuan Hanqiu's expression changed slightly.  But soon, Jiang Xia took out a letter from her arms and handed it to him. Without saying a word, she just raised her chin slightly and asked him to read it.  Yuan Hanqiu was a little confused, wondering what the mystery of the letter in Jiang Xia's hand was.  After he took it, he read the words on the envelope of the letter and saw the letter: "I beg the emperor to personally read it to Yu Dayou, the admiral of the Fujian Navy." Just looking at the two lines of words, Yuan Hanqiu's heart suddenly shuddered.  The military strength of the Ming Dynasty, including the guardsmen, was basically negligible, and their combat effectiveness was too low.  Therefore, the main ones are the Beijing camp troops and the border troops.  The border troops guard the border all year round and have experienced many battles, so they are brave and good at fighting.  The troops in the Beijing camp are rigorously recruited, well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.  Therefore, when the chaos broke out in the capital, Xiao Qing first seized most of the troops in the capital camp, while Yuan Hanqiu won over the border troops.  It is precisely because of these two that the "Wu Xia" organization dared to challenge Jiang Xia, who was at the height of his popularity.  Of course, people like them who do big things.  Naturally, I will not forget that Jiangxia also spent a lot of money to build four naval forces.  Among the four naval forces, Jiang Xun of the Tianjin Navy had already been bribed by Xiao Qing to bribe people around him and poison his food.  So Jiang Xun was seriously ill in bed, and the entire Tianjin Navy was leaderless. No one dared to decide whether to participate in this whirlpool.  Guangzhou Wei, on the other hand, did not dare to move easily due to its geographical location.  If the Guangzhou Navy moves, the entire barrier in the South China Sea will naturally open, and it just so happens that the South China Sea has not been peaceful recently.  Therefore, of the four major naval forces in Jiangxia, only the Zhejiang Navy and the Fujian Navy are left to be mobilized.  However, these two naval forces were transferred out by Jiang Xia to attack Japan some time ago, and they have never been able to be transferred back.  Xiao Qing once asked someone to check how the battle against Japan went.  The reward was heavy losses for the Fujian Navy, and a complete victory for the Spanish Armada and the Kawasaki family.  Therefore, Xiao Qing and the others have never considered the navy.  It is thought that the navy may have been defeated long ago.  But now, Yuan Hanqiu's hands are trembling, and his heart is filled with endless fear.  This letter from Yu Dayou was sent in a hurry over eight hundred miles.  In the letter, he described everything in great detail about what happened after his defeat at the hands of the Spanish Armada.  Including if he captured nearly half of the Japanese islands, how he would pursue the Spanish Armada, and then how he would win a complete victory and return home with a full load, etc After seeing this letter, Yuan Hanqiu understood that Zhejiang Navy and Fujian Navy  , in fact, they still retain their complete strength.  The reason why it didn't appear before was just because they were fighting outside.  But this time, they came back and returned with greatly increased strength.  This means that Jiangxia will increase its troops by nearly 300,000 at this moment.  Moreover, there are still two organized naval forces.  The chaos of the Ming Dynasty will be settled, and Jiangxia can already dominate the world.  There were only these two sentences that echoed in Yuan Hanqiu's heart.  He quickly stood up, knelt down to Jiang Xia and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. The navy's triumphant return means that the overall situation of the world will be settled, and the emperor will be able to rule the world." Jiang Xia leaned down slightly.  , stretched out his hand to help Yuan Hanqiu up.  He said: "I believe you should know very well what is going on with the 'Emperor' who stayed in Nanjing. I can also give you a message here today."After all, my ascension to the throne and proclaiming myself emperor is just a temporary measure.  This throne will always belong to the Emperor.  "    "What?  "Yuan Hanqiu, who had just stood up, couldn't help shouting. "It's too unexpected, yes. It's just too unexpected It's so unexpected that Yuan Hanqiu, who has been taught since childhood that "Taishan collapses in front of him but his appearance does not change", is shocked.  I couldn't help but cry out. Everyone can see what's going on with the current situation in the world, especially with the return of the Fujian Navy and the Zhejiang Navy. This means that Jiangxia is basically under control.  The overall situation of the world is only a matter of time. Seeing that the world is yours, you actually say that you still want to be a minister and return the world to others? Yuan Hanqiu just can't understand it.  Just want to be a loyal minister in order to make a name in history? This is not a sufficient reason. After all, no matter how famous you are, you are just a minister. How can you be as happy as a wise king who creates a prosperous world? Yuan Hanqiu looked at Jiang Xia blankly, wanting to follow him?  He looked at Jiang Xia to see if he was joking. In the end, Yuan Hanqiu believed that Jiang Xia was serious. After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Xia.  : ¡°Can you still go back?  "This question contains many, many meanings. Yuan Hanqiu understands the meaning, and Jiang Xia also understands it. After thinking about it, Jiang Xia smiled lightly and said: "It is so tiring to be an emperor, but it is more pleasant to be a free and easy man.  " "What about so many people following you?  Don't you just miss them?  "Yuan Hanqiu asked again. Jiang Xia was silent on this question for a long time. Finally, he said: "I believe the emperor is wise.  " After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiafu added another sentence: "I will not let go of these people who follow me. As long as I am around, they will be absolutely safe and sound.  "
