After the meeting, everyone lined up outside the hall to ask the painters to draw their images.

Everyone smiled and the picture was frozen. This was a heroes' meeting, and they defeated the Ottoman Empire!

The master painted the masters and painted everyone's expressions and appearances, and this painting remained in the Military Museum of the South China Empire forever.

That night, Yan Changwu invited everyone to dinner.

Pure Turkish style food, plus Chinese soju!

After the wine ban is turned on, everyone gathers together, toast each other and drinks with all their hearts!

The opportunity is indeed rare. After today, we have to rush to our respective combat posts. If we part tomorrow, we will be separated from each other in the future. I don’t know that we will meet in the Year of the Monkey and Horses in the Month!

Everyone was fighting wine, playing fists, bragging, and was very happy... The emperor was not there, Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, Mr. David and Zhang Jiayu all left the court after drinking a few drinks. Everyone in the military leaders were equal and could let go.

When this banquet ends, everyone's friendship deepens and will run through their military careers.

...

Yan Changwu, Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, David and Zhang Jiayu gathered in the fourth courtyard of the palace to drink night tea. They were condescending to see the night scene of the Bosphorus Strait, sparkling, brightly lit by the dock area and military camp area, and ships with searchlights drove by from time to time on the sea.

There are still lights in the city, and it is pitch black outside the city, but to the west of the city, the lights are shining, and construction of the city wall is underway.

Opposite the strait is Asia, and the wilderness is also dark, but there is a pier that has a bright light, which is a military dock.

Due to the popularization of lamp oil and lamp technology, Chinese people turned on a large number of lights to illuminate the night sky.

No country can envy this because they don’t have so much lamp oil!

Lamp oil is made of a mixture of palm oil, whale oil and petroleum, of which palm oil accounts for more than 80% of the components.

Chinese people plant palm trees in large quantities and squeeze them as lamp oil. You can imagine how rich Chinese people are. After all, other countries use palm trees or whale oil to eat, rather than lighting lamps!

Yan Changwu personally poured tea for the four ministers. They were all important officials of the country and deserved respect.

The four ministers thanked the emperor for their tea, and Zhang Jiayu took out the intended content to ask Yan Changwu Sheng to break up.

The first thing is to change Istanbul to the "Xiping" of the South China Empire, setting a left-behind position, which is more than the left-behind position in Beiping.

The name change has always been controversial. Some people say that it is better to use "Xiping", but Chief of Staff Mr. David proposed to change back to "Constantinople". He said with confidence: "Istanbul's change back to its original name Constantinople is the greatest humiliation to the Baotou guys!"

Istanbul was originally named Constantinople, and was originally a Byzantine administration. After the Baotou conquered Constantinople, it changed its name and has now returned to its old name. Mr. David believes that this is the best.

He insisted on using Constantinople in this way, and due to his status, he was not settled until the founding of the South China Empire.

When Chen Zhongji arrived, he decided to use China's "Xiping" and we will get rid of the white skin in the future, and it will be auspicious and good!

Chen Zhongji's face was the greatest among his ministers. Yan Changwu immediately adopted it and renamed Istanbul to "Xiping".

Zhang Jiayu asked the emperor to confirm, and Yan Changwu said: "Yes!"

This matter was decided, and then the candidate for Xiping left-behind people.

There is only one candidate: Zhang Jiayu!

It is conceivable that Xiping's status is crucial in the years to come. It assumes the role of the western fortress of the empire. As long as Xiping is not lost, Baotou will not invade the east!

Moreover, when the South China Empire continued its western expedition, Xiping was the logistics supply center, where the arrival of the army could rest and transport the materials here, and assume the role of a bridgehead for launching an attack.

The task of staying in Xiping was arduous. He had to defend and attack. To the east, there was the Crimean Khanate, which had a deep relationship with the Baotoulao, and their cavalry troops were very strong.

Going further east, there are Russians who have a great hatred of the Chinese.

Neither Crimeans nor Russians should be underestimated.

Needless to say, going west, it is white skin, and there will be a battle sooner or later.

The troubles towards the east are also very big. Anatolia, the land of the dragon-rise in Baotou, has not yet been captured, and there are also forces in Persia and the Mesopotamia.

To the south is the sea, but there is also a risk of the sea transportation line being cut off by white skin.

Although a large number of generals emerged in the South China Empire, there was still a lack of generals. Xiping left behind must be able to fight, control and control the overall situation, judge the situation, and not fight to the death without silence, and take the right time.

It can be imagined that if the sea is far away, Xiping remains in the right way to make decisions and have the power to act first and then report, which must be handed over to reliable candidates.

So after counting, there is no choice, it is Zhang Jiayu.

Mr. David is the most capable, but he is a white skin!

Even if he is the emperor's favorite minister, Chen Zhongji said that he is not available here, so he is not available.

Yan Changwu looked at Zhang Jiayu and said, "This task will be handed over to the Qing family!"

Zhang Jiayu bowed and said, "I must defend Xiping, do what I want, and don't do what I want!"

"Tell me about your strategy?" Yan Changwu asked him, and Zhang Jiayu replied: "Take Anatolia, talk about peace with Persia and the Mesopotamians, and talk about peace with the Crimeans. Well, we do not recognize the previous agreement between Baotou and Europeans. We have jurisdiction over the Balkans!"

"As for Xiping City, we need to attract more Chinese immigrants, control Baotou men, and introduce Greeks to achieve a balance!" Zhang Jiayu said.

"Good!" Chen Zhongji praised him.

There are still many Baotou guys in Xiping City. It is not convenient to start a massacre for the time being, so the density of Baotou guys in the city must be reduced. It is a good thing to introduce Greeks.

Chen Zhongji said to Yan Changwu: "I heard Zhang Yuanzi (Zhang Jiayu's name) say this, and the old minister is relieved!"

"Very good, very good!" Yan Changwu nodded with satisfaction and said: "

"I will leave two armies for you, one is in Anatolia and the other is in Xiping. Can you see it in your family?" Yan Changwu asked.

"Enough, thank you Your Majesty!" Zhang Jiayu said loudly.

In fact, it was not enough. For him, Han Xin ordered troops, and the more he had to do the better, but he had to calculate the economic account. Xiping was too far from the main territory of the Nanhua Empire, and the cost of transporting materials here was extremely high. If the army was released, it would be a huge financial burden on the empire.

Although he was not worried about the two armies, because the army was a reorganized army, each army had 50,000 Chinese soldiers, 10,000 Chinese auxiliary soldiers and 20,000 imperial assistant soldiers, totaling 80,000. Two armies had 160,000. As long as there were 100,000, it was enough to launch a war.

There are also the Fifth Army guarding Egypt and Syria, and they can come and help them when needed.

"Li Laiheng is fighting in Anatolia. Who is the best army guarding Xiping?" Yan Changwu respected his opinion.

"Zeng Ying's Seventh Army!" Zhang Jiayu said.

Zhang Jiayu and Zeng Ying were relatively harmonious because Zhang Jiayu was a former Ming Jinshi and Zeng Ying was a former Ming officer, and the two complemented each other.

"Okay, Zeng Ying stayed!" Yan Changwu made a decision.

He said to Zeng Ying: "I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Zhang Jiayu was shocked: "So fast?"
Chapter completed!
