The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Li Jize saw the contents of the letter. Originally, he just wanted a Western "sailing warship" for research so that the shipbuilding industry of Da Qi could catch up as soon as possible!

It was not until the later period that the Chinese land was unified and was left far behind by the foreigners.

They're going to colonize! They're going to rob!

Li Jize thought, "If the enemy can go, I can go too!"

Why are you the only ones colonizing and plundering? No! You have to take me along to play. If you don't take me along to play and plunder, I will rob you.

What happened to the robbery?

Robbery makes me happy, robbery makes me feel good.

As for what Chen Yang said, that it hurt the harmony between heaven and people, he felt uneasy. He also asked how to deal with these Portuguese?

Li Jize wrote him a letter to comfort him and told him that he didn't need to do this!

These guys who came from afar may not be businessmen, but they are robbers.

Whether he is a robber or a businessman is not determined by his own conscience, but by the guns in our hands.

Just right! The “Kunlun slaves” on this ship already explained everything.

If the Great Qi didn't have me, Li Jize, and these muskets and cannons, I really don't know how many foreigners would want to come and become bandits!

This statement is not only directed at these Westerners, but also at the barbarians.

After the words of comfort...

As for those foreigners, it’s not right to kill them, and it’s not right not to kill them! So let’s enslave them!

Let these people help build the ship, and promise them...

As long as they can build identical warships for our Qin army, as long as they are stable and can sail across the ocean, they will receive generous rewards.

The implication is to forcibly conscript men to help build ships and train gunners and sailors.

If you obey my orders, not only will I not kill you, but after a ship is successfully built, I will not only set you free, but also give you a generous reward and allow you to return home.

If you say you don't want to do it...

I, Da Qi, am also reasonable!

Let's talk about your previous acts of looting in my Da Qi waters and sinking my Qi people's ships. It can almost be determined that you will be imprisoned for life.

have a look……

If we look at these things from another perspective, Li Jize's original behavior was robbery, but now it has become "recovering stolen goods" and trial.

All right! Leave the matter to Chen Yang, and he will handle it.

What Li Jize has to do now is to vigorously promote sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other plants in Qingzhou.

Of course, tobacco is the most important thing.

To achieve the hegemony of a king, all you need is money and food. If you have food, you have people! If you have money, you have money! If you have money and money, why worry about not accomplishing great things?

Just right! These red-haired devils have accomplished an "unparalleled feat" for Li Jize. Not to mention that they brought him a "ticket" to join the world's colonial powers club in the future. Even things like sweet potatoes, corn, and tobacco are also unparalleled contributions!

Of course, this achievement was probably recorded in the history of Da Qi under the name Li Jize.

One day in the future, if Li Jize unified the Great Qi, what would the historical records say?

"Our ancestors were both civil and military virtuous. When the sage was alive, he lifted the sea ban and gathered the world's wealth! He expanded the food supply to the barbarians and won the hearts of the people. With his great talent and strategy, he created an unprecedented great cause!"

Li Jize felt happy just thinking about it, but who knew that he had stolen this thing from the barbarians in a shameless way?

That's how people are!

History is written by the victors. No matter how dirty or shameful your previous methods were, if the final result is good and benefits countless people, such people can become saints and be praised by the world!

For example, in a certain religion, the guy who stole fire brought fire to humans, which angered the gods and caused them to send an eagle to peck at his internal organs every day.

His behavior was stealing, which was shameful, but the result was that it brought light to all of humanity. Do you think he is a good person or a bad person?

Now we have sailing warships and food will soon be available, so we basically don’t have to worry about food and wages.

What is Li Jize going to do?

Naturally, his eyes turned to his neighbors to the north, the barbarians!

Can we continue to expand our territory? Push that old man, Bo Chijin, back? The best thing would be for me to completely occupy Qingzhou!

This piece of land in Qingzhou belongs to me alone, and I own it all to myself! You'd better move aside.

It’s not that Li Jize doesn’t want to continue the attack, nor is it that he can’t defeat the barbarians.

The first reason is that there are only so many people and horses. Once you conquer a place, you have to send some people to guard it, right? To prevent some landlords from doing bad things behind the scenes, right?

One point, two points, three points, if this continues, how can we continue?

Secondly, Li Jize’s safest base is Haojing, where he is isolated overseas and cannot be attacked by the enemy.

But this kind of mentality is actually very dangerous!

History has proven countless times that people who live in a remote corner, rely on water conservancy, and do not strive for progress are very dangerous and cannot accomplish the great cause of unification.

For example, the Wu family and the Sun Shiwan family.

If Li Jize holds this idea, then he is probably going to have to deal with the guys in the south for the rest of his life. Anyway, if you can't beat me, you can just run away! You can't get me.

Knowing that one is born in hardship and dies in comfort, Li Jize conquered Qingzhou and transplanted a large number of factories here.

After all, he regarded this place as his base and wanted to take root here.

Every day we live under the noses of the barbarians, everyone is glaring at each other, and no one can expect peace.

In this way, he should consolidate his base and not rush to continue the attack.

Now it seems that the time is almost right. Why not continue the fight and take over the remaining half of Qingzhou?

But just as Li Jize was about to hold a military meeting and ask his deputy generals to discuss how to launch the attack next? Where should they attack?

Even his own staff had to discuss a governance plan after capturing the remaining half of Qingzhou...

But unexpectedly, a spy came in hurriedly to report, "King Qin! The imperial edict has arrived!"

Li Jize, who was originally studying a map and pondering strategies, froze on the spot upon hearing this. He looked at his men with a puzzled expression, "What imperial edict? Which imperial edict?"

Don’t underestimate these eight words, they contain a lot of meaning!

What imperial edict?

What kind of person is Li Jize now? Does the imperial edict still have any effect on him?

Where did the imperial edict come from? In the south, including the deposed Zheng Wu, there were four emperors, and in the north, there was a Khan and a Northern King. Who the hell came up with the imperial edict?

The subordinate was embarrassed, grinned, and then said: "Yes...it's the Empress!"

Li Jize: "..."

Well done! After waiting for so long, this woman finally thought of me after she was restored to health.

Li Jize touched his chin and thought for a moment, something was wrong! It was definitely wrong.

At this moment, what exactly does it mean for her to issue an imperial decree to herself?
