Li Xiao is the emperor, first of all, he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds and deeds of his meritorious soldiers, and they are given official titles and titles, and all soldiers are also rewarded.

However, Li Xiao did not do such as amnesty to the world like the previous founding emperor, but still punished and punished these prisoners according to the previous regulations.

Li Xiao, who comes from modern times, of course knows that the law is of irreplaceable importance to the country, and these criminals should be punished accordingly for the crimes they committed, and they must not be reduced because of the change of dynasties.

The unwavering punishment of the wicked is the most effective protection for the people.

Li Xiao even believes that at the right time in the future, it is necessary to highlight and highlight the status of the law, so that it can be equal to the power of the monarch, and implement long-term and stable control over the country, which should ensure long-term peace and stability, so that the Tang Empire can enter the modern country faster and earlier than the Taixi countries.

And in the long run, if we can take this step well, it will be the most beneficial and long-term blessing to the country and the nation.

As for the former Anping Emperor who went to Tasconia, and the current Marquis Zhu Cizhi, Li Xiao has sent a special person to escort him to his fiefdom by the Tang Army's naval division.

Zhu Cizhi and his entourage, accompanied by more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids, boarded an Eagle Strike-class battleship, accompanied by a large number of Tang Army sailors, set off from Tianjin Port, went all the way south, and went straight to Australia.

This twelve-year-old, quiet and introverted young man, with a calm expression and respectful words along the way, made the sailors and soldiers on board have a great impression of him.

For Zhu Cizhi, going to such an overseas island that has just been sinicized, away from government and disputes, and living quietly without quarrel with the world, so as to preserve the name of the Ming Dynasty, protect his life and future, and protect Chongzhen's blood and sacrifice, may be the best ending.

Li Xiao also plans to marry his youngest daughter Li Qiongxu to him when Zhu Cizhi is older and when he reaches marriageable age, as a sign of grace and favor.

I just don't know if the reason why he wants to do this is because of his guilt.

After walking on the sea for more than two months, the sailor ship finally arrived on Tasmania and came to this small fief that Li Xiao had demarcated for Zhu Cizhi and could inherit the name of the Ming Dynasty.

What Zhu Cizhi didn't expect was that on this island, Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang puppet prisoner, was also among them to welcome his arrival.

It turned out that Zhu Yousong was disabled by Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and was half paralyzed, but after he was forcibly transported from Fuzhou to Penghu, he has been recuperating in Penghu.

Because of the title of the former Ming Dynasty puppet prisoner, Zhu Yousong was always frightened in his heart, for fear that Li Xiao would be unhappy when he would be unhappy, so he found him a crime and beheaded him.

Fortunately, Li Xiao was big-minded, and after hearing that he was now like a dog with a broken backbone, he was quite sympathetic to him, so he let him go, but only confiscated his Juelu and most of his family wealth, and did not implement further punishment for him.

Although Zhu Yousong lost his official title and family wealth, he was fortunate to save his life. It's just that now, although he is still in Penghu, he is already shy, and he is extremely ashamed of his old friend.

Later, when he heard that Li Xiao ascended the throne of God, changed the dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and sent Zhu Cizhi to Tasmania to continue the Ming Dynasty's feudal state, he moved his mind and wrote to ask the imperial court to send him to this island with him, so as to stay away from disputes and live for a long time.

Regarding Zhu Yousong's request, Li Xiao thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed.

After all, Zhu Yousong, the former puppet Hongguang supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, had a bad reputation and no political resources available, and it was much better to let such a half-paralyzed disabled person go to the remote and quiet island of Tasmania to escape the world than to let him continue to stay in Penghu, a naval base that the Tang Army was building on a large scale.

It's just that Li Xiao asked that Zhu Yousong had to bring a few domestic servants and not bring anyone to go. For this request, Zhu Yousong agreed to it.

After all, now he no longer has any political ambitions, just thinking about going to a remote and remote place to spend the rest of his life in peace.

On the coast of Tasmania, Zhu Yousong, who was paralyzed and half-seated on a wooden bed, saw Zhu Cizhi, who looked haggard but finally arrived safely.

When the two talk about their relationship, they can be regarded as uncles and nephews, but when they see each other at this moment, they both have mixed feelings, but neither of them says a word.

yes, what else can I say?

Zhu Yousong came here for the rest of his life, and Zhu Cizhi lived quietly here, except that one may die earlier and the other die later, what difference can there be.

Soon, a civil official sent by Li Xiao on the island in advance came over, first sent Zhu Yousong home, and then welcomed Zhu Cizhi to live in the small palace built for him on the island.

From the coast to the palace, it was a narrow and winding cement road, and Zhu Cizhi, accompanied by everyone, walked slowly forward, and finally disappeared at the end of the road.

Half a year after Li Xiao became emperor, the world was settled, the order was orderly, the remnants of the remnants of the soldiers and bandits in various places were eliminated and killed, and the people in all parts of the country finally lived and worked in peace and contentment again and lived a peaceful life.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in a troubled world, such a painful experience, only those who have really experienced the hardships of war can finally understand and truly feel it.

Seeing that the time had come, Li Xiao issued another decree, ordering officials in various places to vigorously check and confiscate the surplus land of the imperial relatives of the former Ming Dynasty and the feudal clans of various places, so that they would no longer enjoy the benefits and privileges beyond the ordinary people.

This work was supposed to start immediately after ascending the throne, but for the sake of safety, Li Xiao tolerated them for half a year, and only decided to take action against them when the situation in the country was as stable as a rock.

As Li Xiao expected, these former Ming clans and nobles who had remained calm in the change of dynasty saw that Li Xiao had finally begun to use himself, and they were all furious and rebelled.

Such a small-scale riot, without the support of the people and a well-planned plan, was quickly suppressed by the Tang Army, and then exterminated.

Li Xiao was unceremonious to them, and immediately ordered that all of them be seized of their official titles, all their land and family homes should be confiscated, the first offender should be beheaded, and the accomplice would be exiled to Siberia, and he would never be allowed to return to his homeland in China.

As a result, as many as 1,000 Ming Dynasty clansmen and vassal kings and magnates were beheaded and executed by Li Xiao, and for a time, the country was terrified.

The rest of the Zhu royal clans who participated in the rebellion were all transferred to Siberia, and all the confiscated property went to the state treasury, and all the land was given to the landless people.

Li Xiao's move is really a lever on strength, and a huge hidden danger has been removed.

After all, these Ming Dynasty clan princes who had money, power and land were absolutely unconvinced, and it was more appropriate to take advantage of the current situation to eradicate them in one fell swoop than to wait for them to accumulate strength and then rebel.

As a result, these former Ming clan kings, high-ranking officials and nobles, were swept away by Li Xiao like garbage, and all of them were swept to a bitter cold place like Siberia to settle down.

In fact, Li Xiao's approach is quite benevolent and generous, after all, for them, although they went to a bitter cold place to settle down, they could survive, if they fell into the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as in real history, they would really die.

And the very few Ming clan relatives who honestly donated their surplus land were treated favorably by Li Xiao and allowed to maintain their false titles and continue to live.

Of course, their lords are all ranks, and the generations have been reduced, and finally there is nothing, Li Xiao used the method of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to push the grace order, so that these relatives and nobles of the former Ming Dynasty finally disappeared from everyone silently, and no longer had anything to do.

The huge hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty's clan has been completely pacified and eliminated, and Li Xiao ordered the soldiers and horses of the two towns to go north from Yulin and Xuanfu North Road to unify the Mongolian tribes.

The Tang army was elite and advanced rapidly, and the Mongol tribes, which had lost the support of the Qing court, had already become frightened birds and immediately surrendered one after another.

Only a few tribes of Transkhalkha Mongolia refused to accept the king's transformation and were determined to fight against the heavenly soldiers, and the Tang army immediately attacked and wiped out all its soldiers and horses, and the entire tribe slaughtered men and women, and there was no more survival.

With the heart of a bodhisattva and the means of thunderbolts, on this Mongolian plateau, which only recognized strength, Li Xiao carried out a very effective conquest and rule over the Mongolian tribes in the way of blood and fire, and by means of combining rigidity and softness.

Four months later, all the Mongol tribes were pacified, and all the tribes, regardless of size, sent Han officials to govern them, and arranged a corresponding number of Tang soldiers and horses to garrison their places to ensure long-term peace and stability in the local area.

And each tribe, its original patriarch and Nuoyan, Jinong and other positions, have become a vacant position, although the name is still respected, and can also receive Yulu from the Tang court, but there is no real power, the tribe in the big and small affairs, are all by the garrison Han officials have the final say.

The original soldiers and horses of the Mongolian departments were also under the jurisdiction of the Tang Army, and they were used as auxiliaries in peacetime, and if there was an emergency, they were recruited together with the Tang Army and obeyed the dispatch of the state.

After the Mongolian tribes were pacified, Li Xiao immediately sent a large number of scholars to the local area to implement cultural and educational measures with the Chinese language as the mainstay and the Mongolian language as the supplement. At the same time, a large number of craftsmen were recruited to build standard roads leading to Mongolia from the capital, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Xuanfu and other places, so as to truly realize the unification of the road of books with the same text and cars with the same track.

Peace passed easily, and the time soon came to the summer of the second year of Zhenxing.

While the Tang Dynasty is thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all kinds of initial industries are booming, there is major news coming from the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty.

It turned out that after Li Zicheng seized several cities in the eastern part of the Yarkand Khanate as the foundation of the country, he became arrogant and made an appointment with the Dzungar Khanate in the north, wanting to attack Kashgar together, intending to destroy the entire kingdom of Yarkand in one fell swoop, and then divide its country equally with the Dzungar Khanate.

Li Zicheng believes that now that the Yarkand Khanate has suffered great losses in its soldiers and horses after years of fighting, the country is exhausted, and the contradictions are even more acute, it is now time to complete its efforts and work with the Dzungar Khanate to completely destroy this country entrenched in the Western Regions.

When he thought like this, strategists in the country, such as Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, were all against it.

They bitterly persuaded that now that Dashun had only occupied several cities in the east of the Yarkand Khanate after several years of hard fighting and with the vigorous assistance of the Tang army, it was appropriate to recruit the people to recuperate, and it would not be too late to use troops against the Yarkand Khanate after the national strength was strong.

Although Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others persuaded so hard, Li Zicheng, who had been carried away by his achievements, could not listen.

What's more, now he is eager to expand the scope of his rule, so as to get rid of the shackles of the Tang army, so as to re-enter the Central Plains, in order to repay the shame of being driven out of the Central Plains by the Tang army.

Because he had such thoughts, he was even more anxious to destroy the Yarkand Khanate to expand his strength, and in the end, Li Zicheng was so angry that he rashly ordered an army of 100,000 and led his troops to attack Kashgar.

However, although he planned carefully, he never expected that the Dzungar Khanate would not be dispatched in time due to the sudden plague in the country, so the Yarkand Khanate was able to mobilize troops and ambush Li Zicheng's army on the way.

Moreover, during this period of time, due to the heavy external troubles, the contradictions of the Yarkand Khanate, which was originally heavy on domestic spears, sectarian conflicts in the country, and the struggle for the throne, were all eased, which enabled King Abdullah to mobilize 200,000 elite troops in the country and use them to deal with external aggression.

Such a change in the situation was actually persuaded by Niu Jinxing and others that day, but Li Zicheng, who was immersed in the fantasy of victory, couldn't listen to it at all.

Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and it is appropriate since ancient times.

As a result, in an unnamed valley in the middle of the march to Kashgar, Li Zicheng's 100,000-strong army was surrounded by Abudullah's 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there was no possibility of escape.

Li Zicheng was shocked and angry, so he had to give an order for the whole army to assault and escape from the encirclement.

In order to boost morale, he took the lead, led a group of guards, and took the lead in rushing ahead to fight with the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate.

It's just that the Shun army came from afar, the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and they were ambushed again, and they were besieged in the valley, and their morale was depressed to the extreme.

What's more, the Yarkand Khanate's combat methods were very vicious, after they quickly blocked the entrance to the valley, they immediately shot the Shun army condescendingly with strong bows and crossbows, and at the same time, a large number of rolling logs rolled down from the mountainside, causing extremely terrible casualties to the Shun army surrounded in the valley.

A whizzing crossbow arrow, through the chaotic flow of people, popped softly, shot through the throat of the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng.

The emperor, who had taken the lead in the battle, stared widely, fell from the horse, and was immediately trampled into a thin slice of meat by the chaotic hooves and human feet.

As soon as Li Zicheng died, the Shun army collapsed immediately.

Next, after a short ambush engagement, Li Zicheng's entire army was defeated, and the routed soldiers fled in all directions with a wail, but there was no way out. In the end, the soldiers and horses of the Yarkand Khanate, which were all besieged, were slaughtered like chickens and dogs.

This brutal ambush in the valley has since ended.

Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun, as well as his generals Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu, including Song Xiance and Li Yan, who served as staff officers of the army, also died in this battle.

Li Zicheng, the leader of the rogue who was a leader in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, finally came to the end of his life in this distant Western Regions.

It's just that the husband is in the world, since he is rampant in the world, he died in a foreign land, his fame is gone, and he is famous in the history books, and it has been rumored through the ages, what a pity!
