Chapter 264 The frenzy of the world, Su Yuan's plan

The Eastern Dynasty has always been a relatively mysterious existence to the Western countries overseas.

It was only in recent years, with the increase in transoceanic trade, that many Westerners actually set foot on the Eastern land, and that layer of mystery slowly faded away.

After it fades away, some people who have seen the true face will definitely feel disappointed.

Who told them that the ancient eastern country in their imagination was a place full of gold?

But even if there is no gold everywhere, some special products from the East still make a lot of money for businessmen who dare to explore.

With the influx of Eastern goods, the people of the Western countries have learned more and more about the ancient Eastern countries.

This understanding reached its peak within this year, and this was directly related to the rise of Bei'an Suyuan.

When Su Yuan first rebelled, the Western Kingdom did not pay much attention. It was not until he reached the foot of the capital that reports gradually came out that there was a rebellion in the Eastern Empire and the situation was not optimistic.

The newspapers seemed to portray Su Yuan as a villain who repaid kindness with hatred. This was naturally the instruction of the big businessmen.

These big businessmen were making big and steady money, and they definitely didn't want the status quo to be broken, so they took control of the newspapers and carried out various smear campaigns against Su Yuan.

After the Bei'an Army captured the capital, there was a lot of scolding in the newspapers, and they also felt sad for the ancient eastern country. They also stirred up people's emotions and laid the groundwork for the subsequent military intervention.

Therefore, the Xifeng Kingdom later sent its third fleet to the East China Sea to cooperate with the Southern Zhou Dynasty with the intention of destroying the Bei'an Army.

But what the entire Western world did not expect was that the entire third fleet of the Xifeng Kingdom was completely destroyed in the East China Sea.

Not only were the warships robbed, but all the soldiers on board were also captured.

This incident caused a big stir in the Western Kingdom at that time. Many people protested and marched, questioning the government's actions in sending troops. The relatives of the sailors and soldiers even united to sue the government, demanding that they rescue the people.

Xifeng Kingdom has worked hard for this, but they never expected that the Bei'an government had no intention of exchanging benefits with them.

They directly followed local laws and dealt with all the offending sailors and soldiers.

Some were beheaded directly, some were imprisoned, and some were sent to exile in bitter cold places... Even the envoys sent there were arrested for "inciting rebellion."

This not only made Xifeng Kingdom lose face, but also completely angered them, and they publicly declared war with the Bei'an Army.

The Xifeng Kingdom is the most powerful among the overseas Western countries. As soon as the news of the declaration of war came out, people from all the Western countries became very interested in the Bei'an Army and Su Yuan.

In order to sell more newspapers, the newspaper basically reported something about the Bei'an Army in every issue or two from then on.

Every newspaper claimed to have reporters searching for information in the ancient Eastern country, but in fact most of the information was hearsay. If you couldn't find it, you just started making it up yourself.

In order to increase sales, several small newspapers directly opened up a separate page in their own newspapers to publish news about the Bei'an regime.

This steady stream of news has been attracting the attention of the people of Western countries.

By now, the Bei'an Army has truly unified the country, and after Su Yuan became the new emperor, various newspapers and periodicals also ushered in an explosion.

People in Western countries bought and read newspapers one after another, and the best-selling one among them was [Great World].

This is the largest independent newspaper in the Saxon country. It mainly reports on events happening around the world and is published in all major Western countries.

The reason why this one sells the best is because it has Su Yuan's photo printed on it.

It was sent back by Benjamin after he took the photo. When the World Newspaper received it, it was so ecstatic that it chose to print it, regardless of the government's ban on Benjamin being banned.

Sure enough, this newspaper with photos sold hundreds of thousands of copies in one day in Saxony alone!

People wanted to see with their own eyes what this extremely young Eastern Emperor looked like.

And when they saw Su Yuan with picturesque features and imposing aura in the photo, they were all frightened, as if they could feel the imperial domineering power through the photo.

In addition, the three major decrees issued by Dong'an Kingdom also had a certain degree of popularity, and discussions about Su Yuan took place in several Western countries.

Some Western poets, writers, and philosophers, whether they really admired Su Yuan or wanted to gain popularity, published works praising Su Yuan.

Even in the Xifeng Kingdom, which hates Su Yuan, there are people who "go against it." A well-known female writer in Xifeng publicly stated that Su Yuan was the "Oriental lover" she had dreamed about in her childhood dreams. The next chapter

The book will be about a touching emotional story between a Western female writer and an Eastern emperor.

This behavior naturally arouses dissatisfaction and criticism from many people, but there are also supporters.

A frenzy and chaos was taking place in many Western countries, but Su Yuan, who was in the capital, did not know much about it and did not care.

His main focus now is on Dong'an. The country has just been established and there are many things to do.

This is different from the previous Bei'an regime. At that time, the Bei'an regime only needed to maintain local stability and continue to fight.

Now, we have to fight war after war, but there is a lot more paperwork.

In the meeting hall, Su Yuan, Lu Wuyou, Xun Yue, Zhou Shu and others gathered here.

Su Yuan was still wearing mysterious clothes, but he had taken off his crown. It was too uncomfortable to wear.

He said: "Everyone, in addition to the three major decrees, there are many new policies to be implemented. Let me mention one first. It is time for the capital to change its name."

Everyone nodded. After all, the capital was still called Da Zhou. Now that Da Zhou has disappeared, it is time to change its name.

"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?" Lu Wuyou said respectfully.

After the enthronement ceremony, everyone changed their address to Su Yuan to "Your Majesty". But the full title was not "His Majesty the Emperor", but "His Majesty the Holy Lord".

Su Yuan thought for a while and said: "It doesn't need to be too troublesome. I think the word 'Jing' can be retained. This place is also close to the sea, so let's just call it 'Jinghai'."

"Jing Hai... Your Majesty is a good name." Lu Wuyou immediately agreed, and naturally others would not have any objections.

After deciding on the new name, Xun Yu suggested: "Your Majesty, your coming to Dabao is a great joy. Do you want to spread the divine grace and grant amnesty to the world?"

"Amnesty for the whole world... Yes, yes." Su Yuan nodded, "But it is only for minor crimes, such as small-amount thefts. Serious crimes such as injury, insult, and fraud will not be pardoned."

"I understand."

"Your Majesty," Zhou Shu also said, "You told me a few days ago that holidays will be established after you ascend the throne. Do you still want to implement this?"

A few days ago, Su Yuan and Zhou Shu were chatting and mentioned that they would book a vacation after he ascended the throne.

Zhou Shu was worried that Su Yuan would forget, so he reminded him.

Su Yuan smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Of course we must implement it! This holiday is celebrated by the whole country and is called 'Dongan National Day'. There will be seven days of public holiday during the holiday. If you have to work, you will be compensated three times the wage."

"Seven days of public holiday... this is not a short period of time. According to my official opinion, maybe three days is enough." Lu Wuyou said a little stupefied.

No wonder he said so. There was no such thing as public holidays in the old Zhou Dynasty. Except for the dignitaries, everyone else had to work every day.

When the work is like this, the farmers are still like this. Even though the farmers can plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn, because of the harsh taxes, they have to work part-time to make a living after planting, and there is no day off at all.

"Seven days is not too much. Don't worry, besides working, people still need to rest more, so that they can be more creative."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The name of the capital was changed, a general amnesty was granted to the whole country, the National Day holiday... each subdivided decree was issued after everyone's discussion.

When the sun rose high at noon, a total of more than a dozen subdivided decrees were discussed and finalized.

In the end, what everyone was discussing was the battle.

When it comes to this matter, Su Yuan's attitude is also very serious.

"I think everyone knows that the Thirteen-Nation Alliance led by Xifeng Kingdom is expected to send coalition forces to arrive in the near future. The only thing we have to do is to completely defeat and crush them."

Qi Jiguang was also present at this time. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am ready! As long as the coalition fleet dares to enter the East China Sea, I will definitely make sure they never come back!"

"There is no return, this is just the beginning." Su Yuan looked around at everyone, "Our goal is far beyond this. Everyone knows that in addition to this land, there are many people suffering in other lands. And we need to help.

them, liberate them.”

Everyone nodded. They had known for a long time that Su Yuan's ambition was far beyond unifying this land. What he wanted was the entire world.

Lu Wuyou understands Su Yuan best about this. The two of them had discussed this matter as early as when they were in Beifeng City. It should be noted that at that time, the Bei'an Army only had one Beifeng City.

Therefore, Lu Wuyou has been thinking about this matter for a long time. As early as when he conquered the capital, he was thinking about how to carry out the plan of world unification after the country was unified.

"Your Majesty," he added, "if you want to conquer foreign countries, you must first settle your own affairs. If Your Majesty wants to take over the world, you must first take all the small countries in the surrounding seas into your pocket or make them vassals."

"Well, that's what I mean too."

Su Yuan looked up at the huge map posted on the wall.

At present, it seems that around the territory of Dong'an, the Rong tribe in the north has been defeated and conquered long ago. And further north of the Rong tribe is a frozen soil and ice field that is always cold.

He knew that there must be a country behind the ice sheet, but with the current level of technology, it was not easy or necessary to cross the ice sheet. This natural barrier was a kind of protection for both sides.

In the south of the territory, the South Vietnamese forces were also defeated by the Bei'an Army, and the leader Hu Peng's head was chopped off by Zhao Yun and brought back.

There seem to be several small islands farther south in South Vietnam, and the small country of Wen Lai on them is not something to be afraid of.

As for the east and west sides, the biggest threat to the east, Dongbo, has long surrendered and become a tributary country. Xiali, sandwiched between Dongbo and Dong'an, is not worth mentioning. On the west side, west of Qinzhou is a desert, in which there may be

There are traces of small countries. To the west of Shuzhou is a strange country called "Du Zhu".

Su Yuandao: "Next, we have only two goals."

"The first is to be ready to deal with the incoming Thirteen-Nation Alliance forces at any time. As General Qi said, let them never come back."

"The second is to clean up the forces surrounding the territory. Needless to say, Xia Li, Wen Lai and Du Zhu... will investigate these two regimes."
