Twenty years!

Wan Jun secretly thought in his heart that when he landed in this era, his initial wish was just to survive. Later, his biggest wish was to stop the Manchu Qing from going south and restore the mountains and rivers of China.

When his power became stronger, Wan Jun wanted to conquer a large territory to avoid regrets in the territory later.

The northwest has only reached Kuqa, and the north has just reached the Great Wall. Wan Jun is not interested in the idea of ​​resting and recuperating for twenty years.

Wan Jun said to several people, "Since the Seven Pillar Kingdoms are in charge of state affairs, it is up to you to vote by a show of hands whether you want to pursue a fierce battle or to recuperate. As long as there is more than half, you must act in accordance with the resolution. Those who agree with Wuyang

Say, raise your hands to continue attacking Liaodong."

Zhang Wuyang immediately raised his hand, and Zhang Sheng also raised his hand. The two looked around, but no one raised their hand again.

Wan Jun nodded, motioned for the two of them to put their hands down, and said, "If you agree with what Bo Yuan said, please raise your hands by reducing the scale of military use to allow the people to recuperate."

Zhao Boyuan raised his hand, followed by Liu Tichun and Chen Xinmin.

In order to hear everyone's true opinions, Wan Jun did not express his thoughts when Zhang Wuyang asked.

At this time, there were three votes to two, and there were only five people. Wan Jun looked at Wen Anzhi, who had never raised his hand, "Mr. Wen didn't raise his hand twice. Do you have any different opinions?"

Wen'an's way, "I'm getting old, and my body has become less and less useful recently. While everyone is here, it's time for me to tell the head of state and everyone that I'm going to retire and return home!"

Zhang Sheng said anxiously, "Mr. Wen, you are old, but you still have the strength to raise your hands. Isn't it too late to retire and return to your hometown after the voting is over?"

Wen Anzhi shook his head and said, "I abstain!"

Everyone was stunned for a while. If Wen Anzhi abstained, even if Wanjun was inclined to send troops, the vote would be three to three, and no one could exceed half.

Wen Anzhi knew the relationship and said to everyone, "I am quite old. There have been many affairs in the empire in the past two years, and my old bones are really not up to it. I also ask the head of state and you to choose another wise man. There will be no vote at that time."

Late."

Wan Jun said, "Lao Wen has dedicated his whole life, so it is only natural that he should return to his home now. I agree!"

Zhao Boyuan, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Wuyang and others also said one after another, "Agree!"

Wen Anzhi said happily, "Okay, thank you to the head of state and all the Zhuguo, I finally have this good luck and can go back to my hometown and live a peaceful life for a few days."

There were temporary changes in the meeting. After Wen Anzhi withdrew from the Zhuguo meeting, the voting could only be stopped for a while.

There was a vacancy for the position of a Zhuguo. Who should be the new Zhuguo? Everyone began to look for candidates in their minds, and several Zhuguo also began to discuss.

By noon on the second day, the final selection was made among the four.

One is Li Laiheng. During the Southwest War, 10,000 troops defeated 300,000 troops in Shadingzhou. During the second expedition to Annan, he defeated more than 300,000 troops in Annan with a small victory. He was recommended by Liu Tichun, Zhang Wuyang and others.

The second was Li Dingguo, who, together with thousands of troops, attacked the central defenders on a snowy night, and secured the entire Ningxia in one battle. Then he launched the Battle of Lanzhou, and with 30,000 troops at his disposal, he pacified the entire east of Jiayuguan in one fell swoop.

The third is He Tengjiao. In order to appease some of the Ming surrender faction, the person who succeeds Wen Anzhi must also have serious official experience in the Ming Dynasty, preferably at a lower level.

The fourth is Chen Bajiao, who fought against the Manchus in An'an

Over the years, although he did not have any amazing military exploits, he still played an indispensable role in containing the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Anqing for two years, and then went south to pacify several provinces in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Jiangsu.

However, among the Seven Pillar Kingdoms, Chen Xinmin and Chen Bajiao are brothers, and everyone knows it. If Chen Bajiao becomes the Pillar Kingdom, the Chen brothers will have two votes and have too much say among the seven.

Therefore, Chen Bajiao was excluded from the first round of exchange of opinions.

Li Laiheng was the second one. Since he and Liu Tichun belonged to the surrender faction, he was opposed by Zhang Sheng, Zhang Wuyang, Chen Xinmin and others at the same time, so he had to be excluded from the candidates for Zhuguo.

After that, Li Dingguo and He Tengjiao couldn't tell the difference for a while. Li Dingguo was a surrendered general of the Daxi Army. In the hearts of Zhang Wuyang, Chen Xinmin and others, he was the natural enemy of the surrender faction.

And He Tengjiao was from the Ming Dynasty's surrender sect and was a natural candidate to succeed Wen Anzhi as the Zhuguo.

After many days of discussions with no results, Tian Wen Anzhi formally bid farewell to everyone and set off south to return to his hometown for retirement.

According to Wan Jun's arrangement, Wen Anzhi resigned as Zhuguo and had one last thing to do before returning home. He took his people to Guangzhou to persuade Yongli's party to surrender.

The Yongli court was increasingly leaning towards peace talks. As one of the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the one with the highest status in the Chinese army, Wen Anzhi's mission to Guangzhou was almost a matter of course.

If the empire and the Yongli court can be unified peacefully, then Wen Anzhi will become a national hero who will go down in history. Why would Wen Anzhi not do it?

In the east of Chang'an City, Wen Anzhi bowed deeply to Wan Jun and others at the end, "Everyone, take care. The mountains are high and the road is far. See you again when we are destined!"

After saying that, he turned around and boarded the carriage with the help of a servant, and gradually drifted away in the eyes of everyone.

After traveling thousands of miles from Chang'an to Guangzhou and completing the final mission, Wen'an returned to his hometown to rest. Everyone knows that after saying goodbye, there is a high probability that they will never see each other again.

After bidding farewell to Wen Anzhi, everyone returned to the head of state to once again discuss the candidate for the new head of state.

Liu Tichun was the first to speak. He had the same view as before, "He Tengjiao is the former governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty. He is a mature and prudent man. He has made great contributions to the peace of Jiangnan. He is the most suitable successor to Wen Anzhi!"

"Didn't Chen Bajiao make a big contribution to the pacification of Jiangnan?"

Chen Xinmin waved his hand and said, "If you ask me, Li Dingguo is quite suitable. Although he is from the Daxi Army, he is loyal, brave and righteous, and he has the courage and strategy to conquer one side in battle. Isn't he a good general in governing the country?"

After a few people finished speaking, Wan Jun, who had been thinking for many days, finally made up his mind, "There is only one identity here, the Chinese army. Who is the Western faction? Who is elected as the pillar of the country? Is it for the Chinese army? Is it for someone who has already

A dying force?"

Zhang Wuyang praised, "The head of state is right. When it comes to choosing a faction, only our brothers from Laolong Mountain are the most qualified!"

In another timeline, Li Dingguo devoted himself to protecting the Ming Dynasty and resisting the Qing Dynasty. The two famous kings moved to the southwest, which made people sigh. Wanjun confirmed that Li Dingguo had the qualifications, "I recommend Li Dingguo. He can determine the overall situation in the northwest. Only a man and a hero can't do it."

, Li Dingguo deserves it!"

As soon as this statement came out, Zhang Wuyang, Zhang Sheng and others all agreed, "Agree!"

Liu Tichun no longer insisted, "Since the head of state recommended Li Dingguo, I agree!"

After confirming that Li Dingguo was the new candidate for Zhuguo, the messenger rode the fastest horse and went straight to the Jiayuguan camp!

Wan Jun and others were in Chang'an City. A month passed in the blink of an eye. The new year of the Chinese calendar arrived, and Chang'an City once again

Red lanterns celebrate another new year.

Wan Jun rarely had a few days of free time to accompany Wang Huan in the back hall of the Head of State. On this morning, a strange partner, a red-haired Fan and a Chinese, came to visit Wan Jun.

The red-haired fan spoke strange Chinese, "Ah, my dear Majesty the Head of State, I am your most loyal friend, Sir Borodoch!"

The other man was fair and fair, with not even a hair on his eyebrows. He was Wang Lihui, whom he had not seen for a long time.

After the Huaxia Army's strength grew rapidly, it no longer had much demand for the advantages of weapons and equipment, and Wanjun no longer focused on weapon research and development.

Since the farewell to the Wuchang Institute of Science, Wan Jun has not seen Wang Lihui for some time, "Lihui, Mr. Pineapple, what kind of wind has brought you two together?"

Wang Lihui walked to the table and sat down, "Head of State, I haven't come to the Academy of Sciences to guide work for some time!"

Wan Jun sighed, "You also know that our business is getting bigger and bigger now, and there are too many things and too many things to spare, so we can't spare the time!"

Borodoch came over and said, "Dear Your Majesty the Head of State, you promised our Governor, Mr. Siki, that you would help Portugal go to war against the damn Spaniards."

Wan Jun stretched out his hand to signal the red-haired fan to sit down, "Yes, I promised you, but the north is at the beginning of peace, let alone a war with the Spaniards. Infantry and cavalry alone are not enough."

Borodoch nodded, "Yes, your wise Majesty the Head of State, the Chinese need a powerful fleet to defeat the Spanish, but I am here today to inform you of some unfortunate news."

Wan Jun asked curiously, "What news?"

Porodoch said, "The Iberian clippers brought bad news about Europe. The Dutch are planning to send a fleet to the East to recapture the lost colonies!"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "Even if they come over, if we can fight them off once, we can fight them off a second time!"

Porodoch took out a letter from his arms, "The Dutch are a group of cowards. They know they can't compete with His Majesty the Head of State, so they also win over the French, British, Swedes, Danes, and Pomeranians.

The Asians, the Spanish and the Austrians also put aside their hatred of the war and sent troops together to form a combined fleet."

Wan Jun took the letter, and the paper was densely covered with scrawled Latin.

Wan Jun's English level is only at Nastoumi Tiyu, let alone Portuguese. Fortunately, a translation is thoughtfully attached to the back of the letter.

"A letter to Governor Vasiki: The Spanish have agreed to send troops to form an eight-nation joint fleet with the Dutch, French, British, Swedes, Danes, Pomeranians, and Austrians to conquer the Chinese."

"The outcome of the Iberian war was hard to determine for a while, but the Spanish entered the war against China and bought time for Portugal's independence. Macau should try its best to help the Chinese and not lose the war quickly!"

Wan Jun put down the letter and sneered, "What are you doing to the Eight-Nation Alliance? Do you think the Chinese Empire is the Qing Dynasty?"

Boluoduo said, "Your Majesty the Head of State, what is the Qing Dynasty?"

Wan Jun calmed down and said to Boluoduozhi, "Dear Mr. Pineapple, it seems it is time to fulfill the promise!"

Polodoge said, "Dear Your Majesty the Head of State, are you going to declare war on the disgusting Spaniards?"
Chapter completed!
