Jinyi champion

The seventh year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, the sixth day of October.

In the early morning of this day, there was a massacre inside and outside the capital. Zhu Hao's soldiers and horses entered the city to accept the defense of the capital, and the garrison troops in Daming City were disarmed immediately.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Si led all the officials out of the capital from Zhengyangmen to pay homage to the emperor of the Huaxia Empire.

The civil servants knelt on both sides of the road, mourning the fall of the Ming Dynasty, but almost everyone present was secretly thankful that they had saved their lives in the flames of war.

Emperor Daming went out of the city to surrender himself, but unfortunately he did not see Zhu Hao himself.

Then Zhu Si was led by Guan Jing to escort him back to the inner garden of the palace.

"When will you kill me?"

Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Si sat back on the dragon chair, but the guards around him were no longer the Jin Yiwei, the son of the Great Tomorrow, but the "Java soldiers" with live ammunition.

Civil servants and military generals still stood in two queues, facing a group of heavily armed soldiers at gunpoint, and they still don't know where the enemy who captured the capital of the Ming Dynasty came from.

Guan Jing appeared at the gate of the hall, walked quickly to Zhu Si, took out an edict, and said loudly: "Emperor's edict of the Chinese Empire!"

Wu Xun, the civil servant present, looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know if everyone would kneel next, or if only Zhu Si would kneel alone.

"Emperor Ming."

Guan Jing said loudly, "From now on, you will still be the emperor, but you will be changed to Xinhe, and this year will be the first year of Xinhe. You will be transferred to a newly built city between the capital city and Tianjin city. There, you can touch all the government affairs of Ming Dynasty, but all the troops are no longer under your control!"

Such an edict, which is almost vernacular, was unheard of by the civil servants and generals present.

Zhu Si asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Guan Jing did not answer Zhu Si's question, and continued: "Issuing an edict in your name, a total of 50 people from all over the country will be recruited, and they will move overseas. After that, 50 people will move out every year... This is a cycle of five years, that is, After going to sea for five years, they can choose to stay overseas or return to Daming according to their own wishes. People in Daming will be exempted from taxes for three years."

"what?"

The ministers present were dumbfounded.

It means that it's not that the new emperor ascended the throne, but that someone threatened the emperor to order the princes to exempt three years of money and food first, so no one can understand.

Without taxes, how could the Ming court support itself?
What is the maintenance of the Northwest Frontier Town?
"Emperor Ming, the imperial edict has been drafted for you. After you sign it with your own hand, it will be announced to the world!"

After Guan Jing finished speaking, he handed over an imperial edict to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si asked with a dark face: "General Guan, who are you serving now?"

Guan Jing continued to remain silent.

After Zhu Si picked up the vermilion pen, signed his name on the edict, and stamped it, Guan Jing took the edict over, turned around and went down the jade steps, and came to Liu Chun, the chief assistant at the front of the civil servant queue, and said: "Let's do it!"

Liu Chun's sense of presence is very low recently. He looked up at the emperor and saw Zhu Si's ashen face, as if he understood something.

"The order is issued, and the six ministries and governments at all levels will implement it."

After Liu Chun finished speaking, he took the edict with both hands.

Zhang Cong on the side asked, "Is the country's title unchanged?"

Guan Jingdao: "The name of the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, but the Ming Dynasty is only a part of the Chinese Empire. If there is any violation, it will be punished immediately!"

Just as he was talking, his subordinates brought Guan Jing a battle report. After reading it, Guan Jing said, "Nanjing City has been captured, and Nanjing's civil servants and Wu Xun all submit to the Huaxia Empire."

It happened two days before the fall of the capital.

The kings and ministers present naturally felt that the gang of officials and generals in Nanjing were very spineless. After all, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was still there at the time, and the officials in Nanjing surrendered... Aren't they afraid that the emperor will settle accounts after the fall?
Guan Jing said: "The officials of each yamen perform their own duties! The soldiers and horses in the nine border towns will be replaced immediately, and all the generals will have an audience with the Emperor of the Chinese Empire in the afternoon."

Zhu Si asked again: "I don't know who it is?"

Guan Jing still didn't answer, but said loudly to the civil and military: "Let's disperse the court."

Then heavily armed soldiers stepped forward, and all civil and military officials were escorted back to their respective yamen.

In the huge Fengtian Hall, only Zhu Si was left alone.

Even Zhang Zuo was not allowed to enter.

……

……

Zhu Si was terrified.

Just now when he heard that he was going to be escorted to live in a newly built city outside the city, he lamented in his heart, his life was saved, and the throne seemed to be saved, but his freedom was gone.

Just as he was thinking about something, the door of the main hall that had been closed just now was opened again from the outside, and then a person walked in under the sunlight. Zhu Si took a closer look, and it was Zhu Hao who was wearing ordinary clothes.

"Respect...ah no..."

Seeing Zhu Hao, Zhu Si's eyes showed a frenzy at first, then he understood something, stared at Zhu Hao, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...it's you..."

Zhu Hao didn't go over, but just stood at the door and looked at Zhu Si, like looking at a pitiful creature, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the winners and losers, I spare your life because of you and my friend."

"why?"

Zhu Si was about to cry, he felt that he had been shamefully betrayed, and he seemed particularly aggrieved, "I have given you so much, I am even willing to share the world with you, let you be the chief assistant, even let you be the prime minister, Willing to listen to all your suggestions, you actually rebelled?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "You and I are born equal. If you still think that the world belongs to you, then we will see the truth with our strength. Your wife and children will live with you in the new city, and you will meet the people I prepared for you. They I will tell you about all aspects of Daming. If you can be a diligent emperor in the next 20 years, I will even let you return to the Forbidden City and be a decent emperor. Daming will still belong to you. But if you don’t know how to repent, I will I won’t kill you either, you will be imprisoned for life.”

Zhu Hao was very polite.

He didn't kill Zhu Si. Apart from using the title of Emperor Zhu Si to control Daming, he actually gave Zhu Si a chance to "rehabilitate".

It's just that Daming's army can no longer be handed over to Zhu Si.

As for martial arts, Zhu Hao will hand over limited power to let Zhu Si understand.

The soldiers and horses brought by Zhu Hao will ensure the safety of Daming, and gradually make the subjects of Daming get used to being the subjects of the Chinese Empire, not the subjects of Daming.

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.

Zhu Si refused to give up, and came down from the jade steps, chased after a few steps and asked, "Why?"

Zhu Hao said coldly: "It's not impossible to help you achieve great things, but your vision is too narrow. If you had no reservations at the beginning and let me develop technology and promote the industrialization of Ming Dynasty, I would naturally go all out. It's a pity that in the end you only wanted Seeing as your emperor, indulging in pleasures and living up to my expectations of you, you have instead become a stumbling block to the progress of the times, so I can only fulfill the ideals I planned for you when I was a child.

"At least Daming is still yours now, and I have not betrayed you."

After speaking, Zhu Hao went out, ignoring Zhu Si who was yelling behind him.

……

……

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was captured by Zhu Hao's army.

Zhu Hao met with the officials and generals in the city. At this time, Zhu Hao's identity was revealed a little bit. The emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty finally knew that Zhu Hao was the instigator of everything.

Originally they were still immersed in the fear of being ruled by foreign barbarians, but after Zhu Hao's identity was exposed, they realized that the so-called foreign barbarians were just pawns controlled by Zhu Hao. After the Ming Dynasty, it will still be the Ming Dynasty, and China will embrace the world.

Soldiers and horses from all over the country gathered near the capital one after another.

Zhu Hao also sent troops to show his kindness first with a combination of hardness and softness, and if the other party didn't listen, he would give them a lesson with heavy firepower.

With the capture of the Ming Emperor, officials and generals from all over the country lost their target, and Zhu Hao's identity was revealed, and soldiers and horses from all over the country returned to him one after another.

Between Tianjin and Beijing, a new city rose from the ground and was completed in just one month.

This is a defensive city, and Zhu Hao sent [-] troops to stay in it. At the same time, he will build such a city near major cities such as Nanjing, Xi'an, and Guangzhou.

Ming soldiers will be stationed in the city, but they will only use ordinary cold weapons. As for the important towns on the nine borders, Zhu Hao will send [-] troops to garrison each. In addition to mining and garrisons all over the country, Zhu Hao's [-] troops seem not enough .

Fortunately, Zhu Hao has an extensive network of contacts in Daming.

The officials and people of Xishan City and Taiping Mansion cheered when they heard that Zhu Hao had returned and rebelled successfully, and put the emperor under house arrest.

Coupled with the influence formed by sailing soldiers and horses, and Lu Wan's surrender, Zhu Hao brought the support of at least 50 young and middle-aged men. These people will be trained in a short period of time to become recruits who know how to use firearms.

……

……

New and second year, March.

Zhu Hao sent an army of as many as [-] to march on the grasslands. In just four months, Monan, Mobei and Liaodong were completely wiped out, and even North Korea was included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

The expeditionary soldiers and horses went west and north all the way, reaching the Ural Mountains in the west and the Arctic Ocean in the north, and the entire Central Asia and North Asia were under the jurisdiction of China.

The mines in various places were reopened, and the Daming veins were all used by Zhu Hao.

Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes were planted in Daming in the shortest possible time, and the first batch of overseas immigrants who followed Zhu Hao to sea began to return in turn, and their families and relatives were protected to the greatest extent.

New and the end of the second year.

The entire territory of Huaxia, including all land and islands in Southeast Asia and Australia, was captured by Zhu Hao's troops.

He used to feel that Zhu Hao had let down the civil servants of Ming Dynasty, but now his attitude has changed. Even Zhu Hao often receives invitations to ascend the throne, especially the loyal ministers and generals who once stood in the Ming Dynasty. A member of the Yili faction who waved the flag and shouted behind Zhu Hao.

Liu Chun is still the chief assistant, but his body is no longer capable.

Zhu Hao plans to let Lou Suzhen return to Daming, and use Lou Suzhen to help him govern Daming. At the same time, he will use many people he knew when he was in Xingwangfu, as well as those civil servants who have been proven capable in history but cannot be reused at this time.

While Daming's national power was booming, Zhu Hao was about to go to sea again.

And before he went to sea, he had moved about 100 million people in two batches to the American continent, and the conquest there never stopped.

Zhu Si, on behalf of the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, went to Tianjin Port to see Zhu Hao off.

After more than a year...Zhu Si has really achieved diligence and self-denial. The environment forces him to be a capable emperor. He also wants to get Zhu Hao's pardon and return to the Forbidden City.Now he finally figured it out, Zhu Hao didn't kill him, it was because of his friends.

Because with Zhu Hao's current strength, it would be easy to take down the entire Ming Dynasty by force.

It's the same with or without him.

"His Majesty, Emperor Shangbang, may I ask when you will return?"

Zhang Cong, who had just taken over the position of chief assistant from Liu Chun, asked.

Zhu Hao looked back at Zhang Cong, as if looking at a dead person.

With Lou Suzhen's return to Daming, the purge of the Ming bureaucrats will soon begin, and Zhu Hao does not need to do it himself.

"Maybe one year, maybe three or four years. When I come back next time, I hope to see that the whole of Daming is different from the past. Please remember, everyone, whoever makes trouble for me is making trouble for himself."

Zhu Hao said, looking up at the blue sea and blue sky, "I will plant Chinese dragon flags all over the world, and when the world is unified, Ming will be the shining pearl of this world, and the Chinese people will be the masters of this world!"
