Zheng Zhibao didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered that the whole army take advantage of the Tang army's arrival to immediately flee by ship and go to other Southeast Asian countries to take refuge.

Of course, before leaving, the gang of bandits completely burned and looted the whole mud, did all the bad things, loaded baskets full of stolen goods to the ship, and roared away.

Even if Zheng Zhibao slipped away quickly, they had just escaped, and the Tang army arrived in a hurry.

The Tang army divided the route and immediately sent troops to attack the remnants of the Zheng tribe that had not yet had time to withdraw, and at the same time sent a large number of naval ships to pursue and kill the Zheng Zhi leopard troops who fled along the way.

The Tang army attacked all the way, under the banner of punishing the culprits and eliminating the remnants, and listed many small countries such as Aceh and Champa as non-subordinate countries to hide the remnants of Zheng Zhibao, and conquered them all.

The specific process of such expropriation and suppression will not be repeated here.

In short, under the premise of having a strong naval division and sufficient troops, the Tang army conquered the Southeast Asian countries one by one, which was very smooth, and it was basically overwhelming and irresistible.

Two years later, the small countries in Southeast Asia were either destroyed by the Tang army, or declared their complete submission to the Tang army, and in the face of Western colonial forces such as Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, they were also completely driven out of Southeast Asia by the Tang army, and the entire Southeast Asia was pacified.

As the fuse of the Tang Army's expedition to Southeast Asia, Zheng Zhibao was hit in the head by a 32-pound iron bullet of the Tang Army in a naval battle, and instantly turned into a headless corpse and was completely hung up. As for all of his men, both ships and soldiers, they all surrendered to death, and they were all wiped out without a trace.

Of course, in the process of conquering Southeast Asia, because the local conditions were too harsh, mosquitoes and diseases, and there were many poisonous snakes and beasts, the Tang army also paid a lot of price.

The soldiers and horses of the Tang Army headquarters lost the number of a full number of military towns, and the Qing army, the Korean army, and the Japanese army such as the servants were even more out of ten, and they were basically wiped out.

As the commander of the Qing army, Azig was also shot in the throat by a poisoned arrow in the battle against Aceh, and died on the spot, wide-eyed and unwilling to die on the island of Sumatra, which is thousands of miles away from the northeast.

What is even more tragic is that due to the tension of the war, the body of the commander of the Qing army was found two days later, and in the hot weather in the tropics, his stomach had already burst and smelled for several miles, and it was completely impossible to return to China with the whole body, so he had to bury it hastily.

This war, as for the money, food, and ordnance spent, is an almost astronomical existence, if it weren't for Li Xiao's extremely strong financial and economic support, he might not be able to eat it, such a terrible consumption like a bottomless pit.

Southeast Asia was established, and Li Xiao arranged for three military towns to be divided into different towns, which completely stabilized the local situation. At this time, in the northwest, the remnants of Li Zicheng finally occupied several cities in the east of the Yarkand Khanate after a two-year tug-of-war with the Yarkand Khanate, and the Tang army vigorously supported grain and grass, and finally gained a firm foothold and could fight with the Yarkand Khanate for a long time.

Originally, Li Xiao had planned to command his own troops after conquering Southeast Asia, directly attack the Yarkand Khanate, and recover the Western Regions that had been completely lost since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, but considering that the war in Southeast Asia was decided, the soldiers were tired, and the country also needed to recuperate, Li Xiao decided, and let Li Zicheng let the rest of the troops go to fight with the Yarkand Khanate first, and then he would have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.

The meat is in the mouth, and you have to eat it sooner or later, so I am not in a hurry to do it.

Li Xiao knew that now that the war was set, a more important and, in a sense, more important thing was finally about to officially begin.

That is, on the basis of dominating the world, prestige, and popular aspirations, Li Xiao obeyed the order of heaven and officially ascended the throne as emperor.

If Li Xiao wants to ascend the throne, naturally there will be people who come to persuade him first.

This persuader is his personal praise painting Chen Zilong, who spent three days writing a brilliant persuasion table.

On the eighteenth day of March of the fifth year of Anping, Xin Chou, praised the painting in front of the army, the household servant, the courtier of the court, the courtier, the dragon, the head of the capital crime, and the book.

The minister heard that he was born to steam people, and the tree was a king, so he was the one who crossed the heavens and the earth, and the priest Li Yuan. The Holy Emperor Ming saw that if he was like this, he knew that heaven and earth could not lack food, so he bent down to serve him; Knowing that Li Yuan could not be left without an owner, he had to come as a last resort. When the society is difficult, the Qi clan will tilt it; Suburban temples or substitutions, then the Zong Zhe compiles its rituals. Therefore, the wind is carried out, the formula is solid for all generations, and it is impossible to help it.

Since Chongzhen, hardships and disasters have flourished, and on the occasion of Yongjia, the atmosphere is terrible, Chen is extremely lost, and the ugly descendants are ascending, and the danger of the country is like embellishment. Lai successively, the spirit of the temple, the emperor's heir, the old things Kezhen, the birth of Qinming, the service of the wise philosophy, the jade quality of the young Zhang, the golden sound of the Zhen, the mound of the tomb to take its outline, the hundred to assist its governance, the four seas want the beauty of Zhongxing, the hope of the group to come to Su. Do not want to be in the sky, do not regret the disaster, the catastrophe is recommended, the country has not forgotten, and the harm is sought for rejoicing. The Lord is in a calamity, the court is restored, the artifact is displaced, and then the desolation is rebellious. Every time the minister reads the historical books, the view is loaded, the extreme bad luck, ancient and modern, the hair of the food soil, the gas and the like, all of them are desperate, and the line is crying. The ministers and other lotus pets are promoted, the toilet is the secretary, the question is shocked, the spirit flies over, and the sadness and regret, the five emotions have no owner, the sorrow is drooping, and the blood is crying up and down.

The ministers heard that the darkness and the light were used, or the Tai was mutually beneficial, the mandate of heaven has not changed, and the number of calendars has returned, or it is difficult to consolidate the country, or the worries are to enlighten the saints. The society is safe, and there will be a way to help it; The first few of them will surely follow. Your Majesty, Xuande is connected to the gods, and the holy posture is in the two instruments, and the period of the replacement of the order is the luck of a thousand years. Fu Rui's table, heaven and man have signs, the omen of Zhongxing, and the picture is a classic. Since the fall of Gyeonggi, the nine suits have collapsed, and the world has no place to return, although there is Xia Zhiyi Yiyi, Zong Ji's departure from the dogs, and contempt for it. His Majesty is soft to virtue, rebellion is punished, resistance to Mingwei is not classified, and the rod is Dashun to Su Yunei. Purification is both applied and the heart of the soil is rated; When the wind of righteousness is smooth, it will be followed by a long way. When the hundred times are on the top, the four doors are on the bottom. In the past, Xia Xun thought it was beautiful; Xuan Wang's Xing, Zhou Shi thought it was Xiu Yong. The situation is in the emperor's sky, the clear glow is in the four seas, and the people are full of joy. The voice of the religion added, willing to be a concubine and declare the emperor's Yin, only Your Majesty, hundreds of millions of trillions of returns, once there is no two. Tianzuo Datang, there will be a lord, the main Tang worshipper, not Your Majesty but who is to have no dissent, far from hope, all the eulogizers chant Huiyou, the prison litigants all think about the holy virtue, the heaven and the earth are both friends, and the feelings of the Chinese are agreeable. The beast of one horn, the wood of the connection, thought that those who were on leave were covered with hundreds; The crown and belt are the people, and those who do not agree with each other will move by tens of thousands. It is the heart of the ministers who dare to test the heaven and earth, because of the fun of the summer, and the above honorific titles. May Your Majesty save the love of Shun Yu to the public, the narrow nest by the festival of anti-correction, take the community as the business, do not take small acts first, worry about the head of Qian, and do not take concession as a matter. The upper is to comfort the temple is the bosom of Gu, and the lower is to relieve the hope of the whole world. The so-called life is prosperous in the withered wattles, the abundant muscles are in the rotten bones, and the gods and men are safe, and there is no misfortune.

The honorable position of the minister cannot be empty for a long time, and the opportunity cannot be empty for a long time. If the day is empty, the throne will be lost; In the open air, there will be chaos. Fang Jinzhong Hundred Kings of the Season, when the Yang Jiuzhi Meeting, cunning and peeping, serving the country's flaws, Qi people waves, nothing to worry about, An can be abolished and not sympathetic to His Majesty Although he wants to patrol, if he is a temple, if the people are His Majesty Ming and the sun and the moon, there is no candle, deep and far-sighted, out of the mind, not more than dogs and horses worried about the country, late to see the road of people and gods to open Thailand. It is Chen Qi Naicheng, the deacon of the cloth. The ministers and other ministers are all in charge of the party, and they are not allowed to accompany the court, watch the grand ceremony together, and look at the south recklessly. Sincerely. Chen Zilong, the minister, was a capital crime.

Such a persuasion came up on the table, and the ministers seconded it, and the praisers were like a tide. With Chen Zilong's persuasion table, the persuasion articles from all over the country flew like snowflakes, and they couldn't finish reading at all. And Li Xiao read such an article, and he was very useful in his heart. But on the surface, he still pretended to be righteous and sternly refuted them, and refused them all.

Li Xiao did this, although he followed the ancient way of the so-called Zen concession of three words and three concessions, but in his heart, he still hoped to do it as safely as possible.

After all, he is now supported by civilian officials, and the next step is to obtain the approval of the generals.

He has such a mind, and the generals who follow him to fight the world and are personally promoted by him, know it well, and they all know that Rao is Li Xiao's resignation on the surface, but what is the real thought in his heart.

So, just two days later, when Li Xiao pretended to inspect the Beijing camp garrison outside Beijing, a dragon robe that had been carefully prepared had been carefully prepared was collectively presented by his soldiers and draped on his shoulders without adding points.

Immediately, all the soldiers of the Beijing camp knelt on the ground, bowed three times and knocked nine times, and the mountain shouted long live.

The mountain shouted everywhere, and the black pressure was subdued and knelt on the ground, in front of the Yongding door, looking around, countless people took Li Xiao as the center of the circle and bowed down to him.

Between heaven and earth, there is a sea of iron armor and flags, long live shouting, there is silence, it seems that only Li Xiao is left standing.

The yellow robe was added, and the soldiers embraced it, bringing Wuwei into the palace, forcing the young master Chan to abdicate his position, so that the Ming Dynasty's version of the Chen Qiao mutiny.

Is it really the result I want to be added to the yellow robe like this?

It's just that the current self, can resist such a result?

Li Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart, he actually didn't like the imperial robe on his body that was suddenly draped, and he was even more inexplicably resistant in his heart. In history, Zhao Kuangyin's experience of bullying orphans and widows and taking advantage of the chaos to seize the world is always unpleasant.

It's just that he can act coyly, but his subordinates can't wait for a long time.

Life in the world, isn't it just to seek fame and fortune and glory and wealth, this civil and military minister, out of selfishness, wants to change the dynasty as soon as possible, and let Li Xiao, who can be the first person in the world, ascend the throne as soon as possible.

In this turbulent era, in fact, everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty has been a dead shell, a basically meaningless existence. The reason why the existence of this zombie has been maintained for a long time is just to put gold on his face, so that he can occupy more and better in the name of the so-called righteousness in the war for the world.

For Li Xiao, in fact, as early as the ninth year of Chongzhen, he entered Beijing to meet Emperor Chongzhen and proposed several strategies to save the country, but when Emperor Chongzhen vetoed them all, the Ming Dynasty was basically dead in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty has been deeply troubled and difficult to save, so instead of tinkering with this mess, it is better to tear it down and build a new and healthy country.

In real history, the Qing Dynasty stepped on the blood and tears of countless Han people to complete this bloody and necessary step. And in this time and space that has traveled over, Li Xiao has completed a far broader and more complete unification of the country than the Qing Dynasty, and has a vast and boundless overseas territory.

For them, being a courtier of the Ming Dynasty is as good as supporting Li Xiao, the first person emperor in the world in the ancient and modern times, so that they can become a minister of the dragon and be a founding father, with a better future and more security?

What's more, Li Xiao's thoughts have already been revealed in the slightest, and the civilian officials have expressed their support, and those military generals who have been fighting for a long time, although they are reckless, can also understand Li Xiao's true intentions.

It is nothing more than waiting for them, a group of heavy generals who hold military power, to push the boat down the river, and to enthrone Li Xiao as the emperor with an unstoppable momentum, and dominate the world.

And this step has finally been made, this bright and splendid Ming Huang dragon robe has been added, Yongdingmen, these tens of thousands of ironclad soldiers, together with the tsunami, prostrate long live, at this moment, whether it is Li Xiao or his generals, there is no turning back, this is a final result that is destined to be accepted silently.

And pierced this layer of window paper, whether it was Li Xiao or the soldiers who were kneeling and standing, they all felt relaxed from their hearts.

The position of the Son of Heaven is inhabited by virtuous people, Li Xiao pacified the world, except for the ferocious, swept away the Jingsai, and surrendered to all countries, such a clear achievement, from ancient times to the present, who can reach it, such an excellent leader is not supported, such an outstanding hero is not on the throne, but heaven is intolerable!

Looking at the subordinates kneeling around, Li Xiao's heart was full of emotion.

The soldiers here come from different sources, some are early and some are late, some of them are the earliest subordinates who followed Li Xiao from southeast Liao, there are local refugees recruited after arriving in Shandong, there are Ming troops from all over the country who surrendered, there are rogues from all walks of life who surrendered to Chengcheng and surrendered, there are local natives who have joined the Han nationality overseas, and there are also Manchurians and Mongols who surrendered and changed to Han Chinese.

Now they are absolutely subordinate to Li Xiao personally, loyal, and have a common identity, that is, the subordinates of the Tang Army, the sharp minions that make Li Xiao the most trusted.

Looking around at the kneeling soldiers, reminiscing about the turbulent past, Li Xiao's heart was mixed, and for a while, his emotions fluctuated, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

For these people, for the people of the world, for the sake of the country, I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I can only ascend the throne as the emperor, and then try to forge ahead, and strive to take on the important task of revitalizing the Han family in China.

Putting away the countless distractions in his heart, Li Xiao gathered the yellow robe on his body, he knew that he had no second choice, what he had to do now, and the only thing he could do was to be the emperor.

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!

Li Xiao sighed softly and shouted loudly: "Everyone, enter the city with me!" ”（）
