Chapter 963

Dengzhou military port.

Xie Yuan led a group of generals to give Xiao Ming a military salute.

Yesterday they spread the news of the naval battle to Qingzhou, and the next day the emperor arrived in Dengzhou by the earliest steam locomotive.

Xiao Ming returns a military salute to Xie Yuan. As he walks to the wharf, he waits for Xie Yuan's report.

"Your Majesty, the fleet that attacked Dayu is a combined fleet composed of Britain, France and Spain. The number of warships is 76, all of which are class III sail main warships. In the fierce battle yesterday, we sank 74 warships, lost seven hybrid power warships and four class III sail warships, killed 8000 local soldiers and captured them Three thousand soldiers fell into the water, only two warships, and the officers deliberately let them escape. " Xie Yuan carefully reported the war situation.

Hearing the speech, Xiao Ming stopped. He looked at Xie Yuan with interest and asked, "why do you connive at the two warships escaping?"

Xie Yuan was very surprised. His forehead was sweating slightly. Some of them were afraid of being blamed by Xiao Ming. But when he took a deep breath, he decided to say his true thoughts: "the United Kingdom, France and Spain jointly attacked the Dengzhou naval port, and it must be a contempt for the navy of the great Yu state. They believed that the sea power has the final say of them. It is through the soldiers of these two warships that they pass on the situation of the war to Britain and France, so as to make the enemy fear, so as to make the navigation of the navy of Dayu more smooth in the Nanyang sea area. After all, with fear in mind, they dare not easily start the war, and the merchant ships of the caravan are safer. "

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. It was easy for them to sink the two remaining warships, but it was obvious to him that the value of these two warships returning to Europe was much higher than that of sinking them.

First, he needs European countries to have a clear understanding of Dayu now, so as to avoid the big powers from giving him trouble everywhere, or at least less trouble.

Second, since the reunification of Chongqing, the territory under his control has been increasing rapidly. Korea, Japan, yakesha, the Philippines, and there may be more Nanyang colonies in the future.

These new lands need to be slowly digested by the state of Dayu. Therefore, after the capture of Malacca, Dayu Congress will draw its own sphere of influence with Malacca as the boundary, and gradually consolidate its power in these areas. It is their hope that the enemy will be afraid to act rashly.

After all, only a simple occupation could not bring the benefits of the colonies into full play. He needed these colonies to provide ore, food and man-made output for Dayu, so as to realize profits.

Otherwise, there is no value in occupying a loss colony.

"You've done a good job. It's necessary to frighten these maritime powers, end the war with war, and play the dignity of Chongqing. At the same time, we need to find time to operate the controlled areas."

Xiao Ming praised.

Although the European powers are colonies all over the world, they belong to different countries. Now the control of Asia by the great Chongqing state is on its own, which makes it much more difficult.

"Thank you for your praise, but it's mainly his credit to defeat the United Fleet this time." Xie Yuan introduces Li Wei to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming looked at the slender but brilliant Naval General and said, "you are very good. You can lead 12 warships to destroy the enemy's warships. I want to reward you this time."

Li Wei's face was excited. He immediately gave a powerful military salute and said in a high voice, "thank you, Emperor long en."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, showing his deep gratitude. Although the army is important, the position of the navy is unshakable in the era of great navigation. In the future, he needs the navy to seize the maritime hegemony, provide a safe route for the caravan of Chongqing, and deliver the soldiers to the distant colonies.

So he said to all the Navy generals, "this naval battle, such as the first World War, will destroy the enemy and bring glory overseas. The list of awards that the cabinet will draw up this time will give you rich rewards."

The generals were immediately happy and cheered: "long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"

Seeing that the generals and soldiers were so fanatical, Xiao Ming was very down-to-earth. After all, now the state of Dayu is an emperor, and the loyalty of soldiers to the emperor is very important.

After paying homage to the soldiers who participated in the naval battle, Xiao Ming, xie Yuan and other generals went directly to the naval office.

At this time, xie Yuan asked: "emperor, we have captured two very important people, one is Wilson, commander of the joint fleet, the other is Dick, a member of Parliament from Britain, especially this Dick. The emperor must be interested in what he says."

One of the purposes of Xiao Ming's visit is to interrogate these prisoners, because he is eager to know the changes that are taking place in Britain and France. After all, because of the obvious difference in appearance, the secret guards are unable to penetrate into Britain and France, which makes him lack of understanding of the changes in Europe.

Now with these captives, it's not the same. We can always find a few willing to say.

"Bring them here." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes. These two prisoners have a lot of weight, one is a member of Parliament, the other is a senior general of the Navy. Even if they are redeemed, they will cost a lot of money.

After getting the order, Xie yuanphen told the soldiers. In a short time, Dick and Wilson were escorted by two soldiers."This is your majesty, the emperor of the state of Dayu. Aren't you clamoring to see your majesty? Now if you have something to say, please let it go." Xie Yuan roared impolitely.

Dick and Wilson looked at the young man sitting in the central seat of the official office. They were surprised. Like their queen, the emperor of Chongqing was very young.

However, the strength of the queen was based on the strength of Britain, while the young emperor himself brought the state of Dayu from poverty to prosperity.

"Your Majesty, I'm Dick, a British congressman, and this is Wilson. As an aristocrat, I protest that the state of Dayu treats us so rudely. Any aristocrat captured in Europe will be treated politely." Dick repressed his fear by force.

Wilson looked at Xiao Ming and said nothing, but his rebellious eyes told him that he was still a bit bold.

"It seems that your noble etiquette is only effective for you Europeans. You have never said any etiquette when you slaughtered the aborigines of other countries." Xiao Ming said coldly, "I'm very busy. I'll tell you clearly now that if you can provide valuable information, I can spare you from death. If not, you will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks."

Dick's body suddenly limped down. When he was in England, he was very respectable. He had never seen such a tyrannical monarch.
