I love the empress's beautiful pictures. Shenxi ascended the throne, conquering the world, with all regions submitting to her.
The remnants of the rebellion in the south have been completely wiped out.
A new dynasty brings a new look; Shenxi will name the newly established nation Daxin.
The Great Xin Dynasty developed rapidly, and within a few years, its internal affairs had undergone tremendous changes.
Qi Xiuwen served as prime minister diligently, assisting the empress in governing the country.
"Xiuwen, I've heard there are many countries overseas. Have you inquired about that?"
"Your Majesty, our large ship has already circumnavigated tens of thousands of nautical miles and confirmed that there are several major countries overseas."
The most recent one was the sunset dynasty, where several islands were linked together to form a country, and everyone was as short as a dwarf.
It was known as a Confucian country.
Shen Xi understood. Based on the map in front of her, it seemed to be an island nation in her world, but it was not quite.
“Your Majesty,” Qi Xiuwen pointed to a place across the ocean, “is the Roman Empire, where people eat raw meat, drink milk, and are skilled in warfare.”
"This..." Isn't this just the US military of later generations?
"Does the Emperor know?"
Shen Xi looked up and realized that, although geographically the same, the Roman Empire at this time was clearly larger than the United States in her era.
It includes some of the geography of the later French Dynasty.
"This is the beautiful continent. There is no country here. It is inhabited by a group of indigenous people who farm and weave, but they still cannot make ends meet."
It seems this is the new continent discovered by someone in that era!
It is still a primitive continent, untouched by colonists.
Shenxi ordered the construction of an arsenal and shipyard, which produced large ships suitable for long-distance ocean voyages.
Last year, after it was built, we contacted a neighboring West Indian kingdom and started doing business with them.
The Bactrian Kingdom primarily exported various teas, silks, exquisite porcelains, and fabrics in exchange for spices from the Western Indian Kingdom.
Many spices could only be produced in the West Indies.
Spices have a wide range of uses; they can be used as seasonings for braised and stir-fried dishes, and also as medicinal herbs to treat diseases.
Furthermore, through trade, they successfully imported seeds and seedlings, hoping to plant them in the Da Xin Dynasty.
In addition, they also received a large amount of gold and silver jewelry.
It can be said that there is a relatively strong trade surplus.
Shenxi gazed at the new continent and pointed here, "Xiuwen, this is a good place. It has a small population and fertile land. If I owned it, it would definitely boost the national economy several times over."
"Your Majesty, the mountains are high and the roads are long, and the waterways are difficult. It took us five years to finally land there."
Chenxi waved his hand and said, "Xiuwen, you'll suffer for a few years, but the benefits will be immense. Apart from this place where there are natives, the rest of the land is desolate and uninhabited. I think it should all be fertile land."
Qi Xiuwen knew that the Empress would definitely do what she set out to do.
"Very well, Your Majesty, I will certainly make preparations for you."
To get there, we need to send out a large number of soldiers, large ships, and well-equipped weapons.
The main problem was that the journey was not peaceful, with pirates and bandits along the way.
Shipyards and arsenals are operating at full capacity, building more large ships and guns.
The target of Shenxi is those many undeveloped, barren lands of the new continent; the parts occupied by the indigenous people are not to be occupied.
In no time, large ships loaded with supplies and weapons set sail for the vast sea, following the sea route explored by the advance naval force, heading towards the New World.
"Reporting to General Qi, there are pirates ahead!"
"How many people?" Qi Xiuwu had become a domineering and imposing general.
"Several hundred people!"
"Hmph!" Qi Xiuwu showed no fear. "A mere few hundred people are nothing to worry about!"
"A few hundred men dare to intercept my Great Xin's warships!"
"General, perhaps these pirates are used to their arrogance and are unaware of the power of our great Xin Navy!"
This is the first time that the navy of Daxin has embarked on an expedition.
Previously, they had only recovered the islands and territories in the coastal areas that had been occupied by the Southern Frontier King.
At a distance of several hundred nautical miles from Daxin, the pirates probably really didn't know the strength of the Daxin navy.
"This time, we'll show them the strength of the navy of our great Xin Dynasty. Everything must be decided by strength!"
"Officers, move the guns at full speed and get closer! Bombard him with cannons!"
With giant ships and cannons, what's there to be afraid of!
Qi Xiuwu exuded domineering aura as he ascended to the top rank and personally supervised the battle.
These pirates were indeed used to being arrogant and didn't recognize the big iron cannon on the ship.
I thought they were some kind of precious items. If they were hijacked, these things would be very valuable, not to mention anything else.
Besides, with such large ships, there must be a lot of good stuff.
It was the first time he had ever seen such a large ship.
But they weren't afraid at all; they were used to being arrogant and thought they were still just wealthy businessmen.
To everyone's surprise, those huge iron lumps actually made a loud noise.
Then, the sea exploded with flowers.
His boat exploded.
And then, that was it.
The pirates were flattened by several cannon shots fired by Qi Xiuwu's navy.
The surviving pirates were also covered in wounds and were hooked up by Qi Xiuwu's navy.
"The Pirate King! It must be the Pirate King's ship! Ugh, they shouldn't have hijacked it!"
Those that were alive were making gibberish noises.
Qi Xiuwu couldn't understand it, but there was a translator.
Over the years, our cruisers have been deployed overseas quite a bit, making contact with some foreigners and learning their languages.
Upon hearing that there was some kind of pirate king, Qi Xiuwu ordered people to treat the pirates.
Who is the Pirate King?
"Is it...not you?"
Qi Xiuwu understood through the translator, kicked him, and said, "You're the pirate! Translator, tell him who we are!"
Upon learning that it was the navy of the Great Xin Dynasty, the pirate asked, "Is it the country founded by that woman?"
Qi Xiuwu kicked someone again, saying, "What's wrong with women? In our country, women hold up half the sky."
The pirate, beaten so badly he dared not say anything more offensive, obediently confessed: "Pirate King, there is a pirate island more than a hundred miles away, with several thousand pirates on it, led by the Pirate King."
We pirates dare not go to his territory.
There's even a Pirate King?
We need to cut them off, otherwise, we'll be passing through here all the time, and we might run into them again.
Qi Xiuwu was the vanguard, followed by more than a dozen large ships.
"Your Majesty, this expedition is a long journey, you shouldn't have come along."
Zhao Rong was terrified; he hadn't had a moment's peace since he set off.
Shen Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I assure you it's safe."
In her previous life, Shenxi frequently traveled to the other side of the ocean by boat, car, and plane.
Although there are some differences, they are roughly similar!
Moreover, advance troops had already scouted the area.
If Shenxi didn't personally explore the unexplored new continent, he would feel he had a regret in his life.
To prepare for this trip, she spent a full six months maneuvering with the ministers, and brought a luxurious entourage of bodyguards. She even entrusted internal affairs to Qi Xiuwen, the top official in charge of internal affairs, in order to extricate herself from the situation.
