The lowly peasant army turned over and became a warlord.

Establish dynasty and donate agricultural affairs.

The successful holding of the imperial examinations in the peasant country marked the beginning of scholars to abandon the Ming Dynasty that had controlled the Central Plains for more than two hundred years and established the new royal power.

The bandits and bandits began to change their appearance, and some Ming troops began to become the "bandits" who were pursued in turn.

What is surprising is that since the expulsion of the Ming Dynasty's officials and gentry forces, the disaster situation in the western Central Plains has begun to weaken in the past two years.

This year, the rain level is slow and the drought is no longer there, but the disease epidemics in Gyeonggi and other places have resumed.

The scholars who saw the situation clearly shook their heads and sighed... God does not bless the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, the place outside the border.

Guihua City.

The ministers bowed their heads at His Highness.

Lu Zhou was wearing a royal robe and pedaling on heavy wooden shoes, and lived on the throne.

All the ministers worshiped.

However, today's weather is gloomy, the entire hall is a little dark, and crystal glass lamps lit up around it, which are still dark.

Boom!

Thunderstorms outside the hall intertwined.

During the abnormal climate, the Hetao Plain rarely ushered in rainy weather.

But the ministers below were not affected by the weather, and did not prevent them from rushing to report all kinds of things.

There is another problem when the country is growing, which is that there are more and more affairs to be handled.

Not only that.

The Xia Kingdom has also become more external forces to contact.

Now the army of the Western Theater Command has begun to contact the Kazakh tribes that are further west. There is a Lama who controls military and political affairs in the snowy area.

And further afield, people in the dynasty also knew that there was a giant lake no less than Behaier, which was called the Caspian Sea by the king.

This world is really too big.

Especially when the Hetao Plain began to control the middle section of the Silk Road, the prototype of the situation in Central Asia was about to emerge.

Lu Zhou shook his robe at this time and just sat on the throne. The light was gloomy, and Xu San on the side gave a wink.

The maid in the distance gently shaking the bell. At the end of a wire connecting, there was a huge light bulb. After hearing the ringtone, the guards outside connected the line...

The spotlight was set, and the King of Summer on the throne looked golden.

The ministers in the next front showed excited and longing expressions, and once again gave a big gift, shouting: "My king, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years..."

Of course, there are a few fanatics who shouted long live.

Lu Zhou didn't mind at all. Xia State did not pay attention to the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, so the ministers were often able to speak freely and express various suggestions.

Lu Zhou just made some humanistic proposals, and the remaining etiquette matters were handled by the Ministry of Culture...

"Okay, stop."

Lu Zhou gave up and sighed at the same time.

Before we knew it, the small court in Luzhuang had already begun to appear in its scale.

The central civil and military ministers under the stage have grown to more than a hundred people. Not only that, Luzhuang University students graduated year by year, and more and more young people with new ideas have begun to appear in the court.

The advance planning of the education industry is an advantage. When Lu Zhou starts internal construction next, many aspects can be carried out smoothly.

When the Xia Kingdom ruled the four directions, these talents cultivated by themselves could also be gradually activated.

"Report to Your Highness, the news from Nuergan's Wuhai was sent back. The fishermen on Kuwu Island found the Japanese in the south and started a conflict, but in the end they were driven away by Nuergan's navy..."

The shouts of the ministers had just stopped. A middle-aged man came out of the queue. His name was Qi Yuan. He was originally recommended by Liu Qingfeng. He was polished in the Dragon and Tiger for two years, and was then sent to Luzhuang University for further studies.

Having worked hard in Xia Kingdom for five years, he is considered a core figure around Lu Zhou and was arranged to manage the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are more and more countries currently interacting with Xia Kingdom, and a department responsible for handling diplomatic affairs is about to emerge.

If it were in the Ming Dynasty, the department responsible for such affairs was the Honglu Temple, and there were many officials and institutions under the Honglu Temple.

The Xia Kingdom is simple and directly called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Qi Yuan is equivalent to the Minister of the Honglu Temple. In addition to being responsible for foreign guests and court ceremonies, he sometimes also pays attention to the colonial expansion of the Xia Kingdom...

.....

"Although Kuwu Island is close to Japan, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are less than a hundred miles apart.

But the Yamato people of the Japanese mainly live in the warm south and usually do not appear in the bitter and cold North Sea. I am afraid they are not the Hokkien people."

Speaking is Zhao Mingfeng from the Ministry of Culture. At his age of fifty years old, he was originally an Jinyiwei. He wandered in the grassland for many years and was rescued by the Xia army.

Zhao Mingfeng was already incomplete in martial arts, and was disabled, so he was assigned to work in the Ministry of Culture.

However, as a Jinyiwei who was active on the Korean Peninsula decades ago, Zhao Mingfeng was very familiar with the situation in Japan and believed that in the Beihai area of ​​Kuwu Island, the probability of the Koreans appearing was higher, and the words of the Emirates were not enough.

For fear...

Without making a speech, Lu Zhou looked at Qi Yuan again, as if he had probably understood the Foreign Minister, and he must have something else to say.

The next moment, Qi Yuan paused and said, "Mr. Zhao, the Emirates happened more than 20 years ago.

According to the latest information, Kitai Island was occupied by the Tokugawa family fifteen years ago and a capital that controls the island was established.

At present, the entire territory of Beiyi Island has been controlled. At the southern end of our Kuwu Island, the footprints of Japanese people have been found..."

Qi Yuan explained it carefully.

Lu Zhou nodded constantly. On the Beihai side, he roughly agreed with the situation mentioned by the Foreign Minister.

Kitai Island is Hokkaido in later generations.

In the long history of ancient times, Hokkaido and the Japanese mainland were separated from each other and were originally independent, just like an isolated island without anyone’s jurisdiction.

Until the end of the 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan and his national strength was unprecedentedly prosperous. Not only did he launch the Wanli Korean War, but he also extended his power to the Hokkaido region.

After decades of development, Hokkaido has been fully controlled by Japan, and he has even turned his attention to Kuwu Island.

Kuwu Island is close to Japan now, and the Japanese have always been determined to win Kuwu Island.

In history, it was during the late Ming Dynasty that the Japanese once placed Kuwu Island into their own territory on maps drawn.

In 1635, the shogunate sent people to inspect Sakhalin Island. In the next ten years, it successively established settlements at the southern end of Kuwu Island and traded with local indigenous people.

However, the Ming army garrison was already deserted at this time.

The Qing emperors later never took the existence of Kuwu Island seriously, and did not want the existence of their own people to dangerously rule on that side.

After the Qing army entered the pass, many tribes in the mountains and forests were removed from their armed forces. The Oroqen people who used firearms had to use bows and arrows again, and a large number of immigrants to the south were immigrated.

"Well, I understand, Qi Yuan said it well.

Japan has always been extremely ambitious and has to be careful.”

Lu Zhou nodded, indicating that he could strengthen his defense at the southern end of Kuwu Island.

If you look at it from a normal historical trajectory.
