Chapter 413 Flying

"If the European countries want to obtain corresponding rights and interests within the sphere of influence of Daxia, they must abide by the laws and rules of the Daxia Empire." Huang Zongxi concluded: "The knight's protest was without reason and was rejected by the Ministry of Rites."

Then he looked at the envoys from Siam, Burma and other countries and said, "The same is true for you. Previously, the emperor issued an edict and you disrespected it. This is a crime of great rebellion and injustice."

Then he turned to his superiors and bowed: "Your Majesty, please order the guards to drive out the people from Siam, Burma and other countries, as a warning to others."

Ying Yi said calmly: "Yes."

Then some guards rushed in like wolves and tigers and dragged out the envoys from Siam and other countries.

This made Maxi and others feel awe-inspiring.

Maxi said: "Perhaps your country and we can each take a step back?"

He said: "I beg the Emperor to make a temporary truce and we can discuss this."

Only then did Ying Yi speak, with a voice as loud as a bell: "There is no need for any discussion. The war on the peninsula is an internal matter of the empire decided by me. You are not qualified to interfere."

After saying this, Maxi and others' faces turned green and red.

Then I heard Ying Yi say again: "When I get to the peninsula, I can open offices in Malacca and other cities."

Beat a stick and give a date. Although the date is not sweet, it can give the countries of Thailand and the West a reason.

On this day's court meeting, receiving envoys from the Thai and Western countries such as Maxi was only secondary. The main topic was still the handling of the South Vietnam Peninsula.

Divide state capitals, appoint officials, capture slaves, build infrastructure, etc. And the subsequent attacks on the countries in the central and western parts of the peninsula, etc.

Maxi and others watched the whole process, and there is no need to elaborate on the torment.

Afterwards, this group of envoys stayed in the capital and went to the Ministry of Rites to entangle them every day. The Ministry of Rites dealt with them casually, just waiting for the end of the war.

...

"They are very determined to attack the countries on the peninsula, and there is nothing we can do."

Batavia, where important figures such as the governors of the European colonies in Southeast Asia and the managers of the East India Company gathered here.

"The news sent back by Sir Maxi and others let us know that we cannot change the decision of Emperor Xia. Unless we are willing to send troops."

"It's impossible. We can't defeat them. Their warships and troops are so powerful, and their artillery can even fire from twenty miles away. I don't know how we can resist it."

"More importantly, our power here is very weak. And it is too far away from the mainland."

"I also don't agree with being at odds with the Xia Kingdom. The war on the South Vietnam Peninsula has greatly damaged our interests, but we can make up for it in other ways. It has been less than half a year since the Xia Kingdom opened the sea, but we have already made a lot of wealth. From this point of view, the friendship with Xia is more important than the interests of the countries on the peninsula."

"Then put it all together and report the situation here to other countries. We can't make a decision, so let's ask the noble kings to make a decision."

The colonists in the Thai and Western countries could only watch helplessly and had no other choice.

Even before the news here had time to reach Europe, the war on the peninsula was over.

By the beginning of May, it took two months for the empire to destroy the peninsula countries and confuse this rich and vast area.

As a result, the empire and the poisonous Mughal Dynasty had another border - the outlet of the Ganges River. The main force of Zhang Shi's army was already stationed here.

After the army defeated the peninsula countries, it began to clean up the peninsula. Anyone who disobeys the rule of the empire should be killed or arrested, which also makes the scale of the empire's slave labor camps even larger.

A local governance structure was quickly established based on the newly divided prefectural administrative areas, and then the population was counted, land was allocated, roads were built, and the education system was established, and everything was implemented in an orderly manner.

At the same time, new naval theaters also began to be formed.

The empire's navy only has two theaters, and it is now beginning to be stretched thin. Naturally, we need to set up additional theaters and increase our troop strength.

The Third Nanyang Naval Theater will be established in Nanyang to stabilize order in this maritime area.

The Qingming and efficient Daxia court presided over all this, and the Pastoral Council and the Imperial Court were at full power. After Ying Yi decided on the general direction, he stopped keeping an eye on it.

By June, order on the peninsula became increasingly stable. And Ying Yi spent more time in Yuanqi Palace.

Because the implementation of the flight component plan has reached the final moment.

The project of flying components had already entered into the process of proposal and implementation as early as the beginning of the third year of the Chinese Era a year ago.

At that time, Ying Yi also mentioned to the queen his plan to travel around the world in the Forbidden City in the future. Flying components are the prerequisite for this plan.

In the Yuanqi Palace Test Site at the foot of Longevity Mountain, three flying components of different shapes are displayed. Li Zhenren and other worshipers and master craftsmen accompanied Ying Yi to watch one by one.

The three flying components are different, mainly in their shapes, but they are almost the same in size. The one on the left is shaped like a flying bird, the one in the middle is like a shuttle, and the one on the right is like a disk.

Li Zhenren said: "Your Majesty, these three flying elements are actual products. They are structured according to the shapes of birds, shuttles and discs. However, there are slight differences in the specific inscriptions of the elemental symbols."

He said: "The straight-line speed of the shuttle is expected to be the fastest, the speed of the flying bird is slightly slower, but it is definitely more flexible than the shuttle. The speed of the disc should be the slowest, but it must be the most flexible."

Ying Yi nodded: "We will test the flight later and we will know once we see it."

Li Zhenren and others smiled and nodded.

The three flying components are integrated into one, with no gaps visible on the outside. The layers of dense cloud patterns are like works of art, which is very attractive.

Ying Yi gave the order and the test flight began.

Starting from the trial of the first bird-shaped flying device.

Two craftsmen who participated in the test flight walked to the element and stuck a piece of humanity on a bird-shaped cloud pattern for a moment, and then a door opened on the seamless body. The two of them boarded the bird-shaped element one after another, and the door was immediately closed.

Master Li took the humanitarian card and ordered: "Let's begin."

Then the bird-shaped flying element vibrated very slightly, and then wisps of Yuan Qi filled the entire body with bright light. Then a pale yellow light flashed slightly, and the element slowly floated off the ground.

Ying Yi stroked his palms and said with a smile, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion in the air, circles of air waves visible to the naked eye were released, and the bird-shaped element had disappeared.

But Ying Yi had already raised his head, and as far as he could see, in the clear blue seven or eight miles above the sky, a black spot exploded into a circle of white waves, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Everyone raised their eyes to watch and whispered to each other.

In this instant, the bird-shaped element returned. Stopped in the air, then slowly landed, landing on the same spot.

The two craftsmen came down from it with excited faces.

Master Li called the two of them to him and said, "The start is too fast. Please be careful in the next test flight."

"Here."

So the second fusiform component continued its test flight.
