Han Mingyu (Chen Ping), the head of the household department, knew that Hong Chengchou was the second minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he was upset by Chen Qiyu, and was attacked by the officials of the Yan, and was demoted to the eight-grade household treasure money promotion division.

In the official army, Yingxiang and Zicheng took Hong Chengchou to deal with the Xining mutiny and had no time to look east, and led their troops into dozens of prefectures and counties in Gongchang, Pingliang, Lintao, and Fengxiang, defeated He Renlong and Zhang Tianli's army, killed Lu Menglong, and then besieged Longzhou for more than 40 days and slaughtered the city, and Cao Wenzhao died in battle.

At the same time, because of the clear rewards and punishments and the good food, more and more people came to take refuge.

Chen Hai did not allow his subordinates to plunder the people, the cottage materials were urgent, Xi'an was known as Chang'an in ancient times, Chen Hai knew that there were many tombs around, first took his subordinates to dig a few tombs, and then organized a night attack on Fan Yongdou's old house, one of the eight Jin merchants, looted a huge amount of money and silver, and thus attracted the encirclement and suppression of the official army.

Chongzhen felt that Han Mingyu was a talent to save the country and planned to reuse him, but the courtiers had pulled Han Mingyu into the blacklist, and Chongzhen took advantage of the conflict between the courtiers because of business and taxation to promote Han Mingyu to the head of the military department.

Two months later, Han Mingyu put forward a proposal to rectify the Beijing camp, which was approved by Chongzhen, and he was promoted to the position of Zuo Attendant of the Military Department and concurrently the commander of the Beijing camp, and soon he investigated and dealt with all kinds of illegal acts in the Beijing camp, so he was hated by the Chinese military of the DPRK.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was sacked by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and Chongzhen was so grieved and indignant that he assigned Han Mingyu to suppress the people's army, during which he was almost framed by traitors bribed by the Chinese military forces of the DPRK.

After the imperial court got the news that the Fan family in Shanxi had been plundered, it was forced to transfer the Xuanfu soldiers to suppress the bandits, and Han Mingyu took the initiative to ask Ying to enter Shanxi as a governor in order to find a partner, but the imperial court finally decided to appoint him as a deputy.

At this time, returning to the main line, Chen Hai at this time purchased more than 300 Menggu horses from the border by plundering Fan Yongdou and through Fan Yongdou's family property, which greatly enhanced his mobility.

The Menggu tribe that sold Chen Hai's war horse heard that Chen Hai could kill the enemy by sending down heavenly thunder through immortal magic, so they wanted to ask Chen Hai to help assassinate the leader of the rival tribe, but Chen Hai did not agree.

Chen Hai learned that the imperial court sent Xuanfu soldiers to exterminate him, but because the Xuanfu soldiers were beaten by Chen Hai many times, the two chased one after the other and ran away, and even interacted when they camped.

After a long time, the Xuanfu soldiers were reprimanded by the imperial court, and Chen Hai did not want to have a hard time with the officers and soldiers, so he led his subordinates out of the customs and entered Mongolia.

It didn't take long for Chen Hai to help his Mongolian friends snipe and kill the enemy leader, and helped the tribe win the war, get a lot of cattle and sheep, and marry the prince of this Mongolian tribe.

At this time, Jiannu invaded the border again, Dolgon and Haoge invaded the Hetao and Taiyuan areas, and the imperial court was busy suppressing bandits, and the government was in a hurry.

Knowing that Xuanfu's defense was weak and he didn't want to see the Han people slaughtered by Jiannu, Chen Hai led his men and the Mongol soldiers borrowed from the Mongol Anda into Xuanfu, and made an inspiring lecture at the head of Xuanfu, and the first volume ended.

Volume II Savage Growth

Chen Hai led the Xuanfu army and civilians to repel Jiannu, and decided to garrison Xuanfu Town from now on.

The imperial court sent troops to recapture Xuanfu in advance, and sent Wenchen to surrender, because Wenchen couldn't stand his attitude towards him and the peasant army openly and secretly, he angrily killed the envoy.

But at this time, the imperial court had already fallen into internal and external troubles, and there was no extra force to recover Xuanfu, Han Mingyu suggested that since the Xuanfu bandit army took the initiative to resist Jiannu, it means that it is not a misguided person, and can send a messenger to appease, Chongzhen agreed.

As a result, Chen Hai gradually became a warlord, and while constantly expanding his forces, he began to study firearms such as firearms.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji broke through the Dushikou for the fourth time, and ravaged in Gyeonggi for more than four months.

Chen Hai cooperated with Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and other Ming generals to finally repel Jiannu, Chongzhen was overjoyed and rewarded many generals, but the Xuanfu soldiers retreated on their own after repelling Jiannu, which made Chongzhen like a fish in his throat.

In order to supplement the military rations and salaries, Chen Hai led the Xuanfu soldiers to ransack the other three of the eight Jin merchants, and was once again dissatisfied with the imperial court.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it happened that Li Zicheng's troops were defeated by the Ming army, and the imperial court finally had the energy to deal with Chen Hai of Xuanfu, so they sent Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng to conquer Xuanfu.

Chen Hai once again smashed the conquest plan of the official army

Qin Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong came to defect to Chen Hai with his men.

Han Mingyu was ordered by the imperial court to go to Shanxi for disaster relief, and despite the dissuasion, he went to Xuanfu to visit Chen Hai, and the two finally recognized each other, got drunk, and agreed to help each other.

However, after Han Mingyu returned to Beijing, he was jointly sent to prison by the courtiers on trumped-up charges such as fornicating with bandits, and then poisoned to death.

Chen Hai was furious when he learned the news and wanted to avenge his old friend.

Chongzhen summoned Chen Hai and handed him the will of his old friend, hoping that Chen Hai would fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Hai was moved by the words of his old friend, and finally reached a reconciliation with the imperial court, was made an earl, and continued to be stationed in Xuanfu

Chen Hai followed the regret of his old friend and married Han Mingyu's granddaughter Han Taotao.

At the same time, due to the effectiveness of Han Mingyu's policy, the people in Shanxi and other places Si'an, Li Zicheng and other generals of the people's army lost their source of soldiers.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Jiannu entered the fortress for the fifth time, Chen Hai led the Xuanfu soldiers to defeat Jiannu again and again, and pursued all the way, drove the remnants of Jiannu to Siberia, was named a marquis, crowned Taibao, and was appointed as the governor of the three sides, and Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao, and Sun Chuanting guarded the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Chen Hai's voice in the army was getting higher and higher, and his influence in the court was also increasing, and Zheng Zhilong also found him, hoping to join forces with him to discuss important matters.

Chen Hai and Zheng Zhilong briefly jointly developed maritime trade, and later, due to various contradictions, Chen Hai took the opportunity to get rid of Zheng Zhilong and take over the Zheng family sailors and the huge trading group.

With the efforts of the political allies of the imperial court, the household registration system and the tax system were more perfect, the bourgeoisie above and below the Ming Dynasty became more and more powerful, coupled with the intentional or unintentional promotion of the subordinates in the army, the contradiction between Chen Hai and the Zhu family became more and more intense, and even Chongzhen's marriage of his daughter was to no avail.

In the twenty years of Chongzhen, Chen Hai finally broke with Chongzhen, and then through war and a series of peace talks, the Ming Dynasty finally achieved a constitutional monarchy.

In the twenty-fourth year of Chongzhen, the House of Representatives and the Senate unanimously passed, and Chen Hai served as the first prime minister of the Ming Empire.

The following year, the warships of the Ming Empire began to march into the Pacific Ocean......
