Huang Han's mentality is very good, he didn't think about forcing Chongzhen to death, he was very calm when he met Chongzhen, he didn't bow to Chongzhen, and he didn't ask Chongzhen to give a salute.

Instead, he ordered Fang Zhenghua, who had taken over the internal affairs, to arrange a banquet, and took Chongzhen's hand and sat down face to face.

Huang Han and Chongzhen frequently clinked glasses, and at the same time, he personally guaranteed that Chongzhen after canonizing the Zen throne was the "King of the Han Empire".

and insisted on swearing in front of the civil and military officials and the military and civilians to protect the personal safety of King Xin, and agreed that Wang Chengen would always stay by King Xin's side as the left chief of the palace, and agreed that Fang Jingcheng would serve as the right chief historian.

The palace maids and eunuchs of the Xinwang Mansion can be selected from the personnel who served Chongzhen in the original Forbidden City, and the security staff are selected from the eunuchs who have completed the internal exercise training, and 300 are led by Wang Chengen and Fang Jingcheng.

Although he was drinking in the warm pavilion of the palace, Chongzhen was more or less apprehensive, and even a little restrained.

The memory of drinking face-to-face with others is too far away, and this vague memory is only a few times, and that was when his brother Emperor Tianqi was alive more than ten years ago.

Huang Han, who was two months old Chongzhen, was relaxed and comfortable, and after talking about business, he chatted with Chongzhen about some overseas anecdotes.

Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua, who stayed in the warm pavilion to serve, peeked at their words and expressions from time to time, the two had completely different mentalities, and there was no doubt that Fang Zhenghua would stay in the power center of the new dynasty in the future, and he only felt that his mind was agitated.

Wang Chengen has changed from the most powerful eunuch to the head of the palace, and I don't know if he will be able to survive in the future? It's inevitable to lose in my heart.

Hearing Huang Han's promise with his own ears, Chongzhen, who had drunk a few more glasses, looked up to the sky and sighed and burst into tears, which frightened Wang Chengen at a loss, for fear that Chongzhen would say something inappropriate.

Huang Han didn't mind at all, he approached Chongzhen from his seat and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, think about the years of beacon fires.

How many children and wives have been separated and displaced? How many people died of hunger and cold on the way to escape? Are you, the emperor, worthy of hundreds of millions of people? ”

Chongzhen defended: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have not slackened for a day, I am not good at drinking, and even the use in the palace has been reduced again and again, I am worthy of my heart!" ”

Huang Han said: "As an emperor of a big country, is it useful to be strict with yourself? Have you ever managed the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives? Do you know how much wealth they stole that should have belonged to the country?

Isn't it your fault that you don't know people? The country is full of thieves and starvation, don't you have a little responsibility? ”

Chongzhen was speechless for a while, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said: "I don't want to work hard, but the state affairs are in chaos, and I really tried my best." ”

Huang Han laughed and said: "You have tried your best, but the country is becoming more and more chaotic, and more and more people are displaced and starving to death, what does this situation mean?" ”

Chongzhen didn't say anything, staring at Huang Han.

Huang Han looked at Wang Chengen, pointed at him and said, "Tell me, the emperor is doing his best, but the country is getting worse and worse, what does this fully illustrate?" ”

Wang Chengen was frightened, and knelt down with a thud and said: "His Royal Highness the 'King of Han' forgives the sin, and the slave doesn't dare to say it." ”

Huang Han sighed and said: "You are one of the most trusted and close people to the emperor, you don't dare to tell the truth, how many people in the entire Ming Dynasty dare to tell the truth in front of the emperor?" ”

Wang Chengen kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted in his mouth: "The slave should die, the slave should die......"

Huang Han said lightly: "You get up, there are many damned civil and military generals and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, but you are not included." ”

Wang Cheng'en was pardoned and said: "The slave and maid thank His Royal Highness the 'King of Han' for his grace." ”

Huang Han sat down and looked at Chongzhen with blazing eyes, and said: "You have tried your best to govern the country, and the main reason why the country is getting worse is that you don't have the ability to manage a country.

To put it mildly, you are not worthy to be the emperor of this great country. You don't understand the military, you don't understand the economy, you don't understand the power scheme, and from the day you ascend the throne, you are tantamount to harming the country and millions of ordinary people.

Your choice to abdicate today is the wisest decision you have made in the past 14 years, believe it or not, as long as I govern this country for five years, I will be able to ensure that the people of Li will have enough food and clothing, and in another five years, there will be a peaceful and prosperous era that is unparalleled in the past and the present.

I am making a bold statement at this time, maybe you don't believe it at all, but you and I are only thirty years old, and after a long time, I can tolerate the people of the world, and of course I can treat you well, and you will see this country go to glory with your own eyes.

I believe that after ten years, you and I will sit down and drink face-to-face again, and you will sincerely salute three glasses! ”

"King Han" was not ready to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and he made an appointment with Chongzhen to drink again ten years later, Wang Chengen suddenly burst into tears, and Fang Zhenghua was also full of smiles.

Emperor Chongzhen Leng Keke looked at the high-spirited Huang Han, but he didn't find that Huang Han had a trace of pretentiousness, and his heart was inexplicably settled a lot, he sighed and said:

"I always want to make the country rich and the people strong, but it backfired, and now I am exhausted, and I will wait and see how the 'Han King' will be used in the future."

……

Chongzhen promised Chan Rang, and the news that the "King of Han" ascended the throne on the first day of the first month and proclaimed himself emperor and established the "Han Empire" spread to the army besieging Xi'an.

Qin Yanyi, Hanzi, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Fang Liandong, Huang Long, Shang Keyi and other "Han Wang" civil and military generals were ecstatic, and they decided to launch an attack on the 25th day of the 13th month of Chongzhen.

The mobilization meeting was held in a timely manner, and the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" were full of enthusiasm, and they took the initiative to ask for war and voluntarily launched the first wave of attacks, and they were all vying for the great achievement of "taking the lead" and presenting gifts for the "founding ceremony."

The news that the "King of Han" was going to replace the Ming Dynasty as the emperor and establish the "Han Empire" was also spread in the white pole soldiers and the Sichuan army, Qin Liangyu was furious, and Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming and other white pole soldiers were secretly happy.

The Sichuan army and the white pole soldiers were also high-spirited, and thousands of grassroots soldiers came to Qin Liangyu's Chinese army to petition, shouting in unison to participate in the capture of Xi'an City as a member of the vanguard force.

They expressed their allegiance to the current "King of Han" and the future founding emperor of the "Great Han Empire".

The morale of the army is high, Qin Liangyu, who has led the army for thirty or forty years, of course knows the proportions, and at this time the only choice is to break through Xi'an City and capture Gao Yingxiang alive.

"All of us are united, and the mountains can be shaken! Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting. ......" In the heroic military song, the brave soldiers are ready.

On the day of the general attack, the sky was not beautiful, and the cold wind was cold, but the biting cold did not weaken the passion of the soldiers in full swing.

As soon as the general Han Zi gave an order, tens of thousands of soldiers broke off and shouted three times: "Tiger, tiger, tiger!" ”

Immediately, thousands of large and small artillery pieces roared, and in the overwhelming shouts, the passionate soldiers marched forward bravely.

Only half an hour has passed, and more than a dozen red flags have been planted on the head of Xi'an, in the "brothers, turn against the 'Wang Shi'!" Amid the call for friends, most of the rogues turned around and rushed towards the city.

"Capture Gao Yingxiang's wife and son!"

"Don't leave Li Yan, that dog-headed military advisor!"

"Catch Gao Yigong, that kid ran east."

"Brothers, don't mess around, we are also our own people, and our thousand are the 'Red Flag Army'."

"Our big boss is Luo Rucai, and we have already surrendered to the 'Red Flag Army'."

"Okay, okay, don't rub it off, hurry up, and strive to seize Gao Yingxiang in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Gao Yingxiang, who led the henchmen of the old camp to appear in Nancheng, really didn't expect that he couldn't even hold out for half a day, and the entire Xi'an City was full of roars to catch him, and he was not surprised in the past, and at this moment there was a helplessness in the ocean of the people's war.

Now among the thirty-six strategies, only "go for the top" is available, Gao Yingxiang is not ambiguous, and immediately leads the henchmen of the old camp to fight horses and escape.

But Xi'an is surrounded by many people, where else can it run?

At this time, Gao Yingxiang regretted it, and finally understood that Xi'an City was going to become his burial place, and in the face of the crowd that came up one after another, he looked up to the sky and sighed, full of bitterness.

Without him, because those who roared to capture him were not the "Red Banner Army", but their former own people and current enemies.

Gao Yingxiang's old camp brothers collided with the rebellious rogues and had a scuffle, and only half an hour later, two or three thousand corpses lay on the ground, and thousands of rogue kowkled on the ground with their heads in their hands and begged.

The rebel godfather who once stirred up the storm of the Ming Dynasty rested, his head was snatched by a strong rogue, and his body was divided by a group of rogues who were eager for merit......

Li Yan was not captured alive, he was stabbed to death by the tearful Xing Hongniang, who also wiped her neck with this knife......

The thirteenth year of Chongzhen is over, and the suffering of the Han nation is also over, and hundreds of millions of Han people are about to usher in a new "Han Empire", and the broad and profound Han civilization will affect every corner of the world.

In the first year of Wuwei of the "Han Empire", the founding emperor Huang Han accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, and the whole country was jubilant.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, 50,000 "Red Banner Army" that completed the recovery of Xi'an and the white pole soldiers who still retained the structure went south under the leadership of Fang Liandong, Gu Zhun, Chen Qiyu, Yang Xiaozhui, Ma Xianghe and other civilian and military generals.

They will march more than 4,000 li and plan to arrive in Guangxi in mid-March, and at the end of March they will join forces with the "Red Banner Army" stationed on Hainan Island and the reorganized local army to launch a counterinsurgency war that is 200 years late.

It was the task of Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu, Fang Liandong, and Gu Zhun to recover their homeland, restore the Jiaozhi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and take over all the 15 prefectures, 36 prefectures, and more than 180 counties in Annan.

Hanzi and Sun Chuanting still stayed in Shaanxi to clear the remnants of the Liukou.

He Renlong's dramatic plan that has been warlordized was captured by Sun Chuanting, and Lao Sun still directly cut off He Renlong's head as in history, and the generals of the original Daming Gansu Town, Guyuan Town, Ningxia Town, and Yansui Town were frightened.

It took only one month to complete the work of rectifying the three sides of Shaanxi, and more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 infantry of the former Ming army were recruited, and the three adult horses were treated as regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army."

In the new dynasty and new atmosphere, there are not many civil and military officials who have been able to increase their official ranks, and too many generals with military merits have been knighted, but unfortunately not everyone is happy to accept the reward, at least Qin Liangyu is like this.

According to the fact that she did not accept the title of Duke of Shu of the "Han Empire", she was still wearing Ming costumes and was ready to lead her men and horses to Beijing to ask for an explanation.

To untie the bell, the bell must be tied to the bell, and Huang Han knows who can convince the foolish and loyal Qin Liangyu.

At the end of February, the "Han Empire" King Zhu Youzhen was named by the "Wuwei" Emperor to give the task, and three days later, the King of Xin led 300 guards to leave Beijing and go to Xi'an to issue an edict.

There is no special content in the holy decree, it is still to canonize Qin Liangyu as the Duke of Shu of the "Han Empire", but the angel who issued the decree was replaced by Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

Isn't Qin Liangyu still loyal to the Ming Dynasty? It doesn't matter, Zhu Youzhen, the king of the letter, went to Shaanxi to meet her, but to see if with Qin Liangyu's support, Zhu Youzhen would have the intention of regaining the throne.

In order to ensure that King Xin arrived at his destination safely, Wang Chengen accompanied him throughout the process, and Fang Zhenghua, the chief manager of the Inner Palace, personally led the team, and more than half of the three hundred guards came from the imperial front, including Huang Dingguo, who had disturbed the Ming Dynasty in Shaanxi.

Huang Han instructed Fang Zhenghua and Huang Dingguo not to rush away, and set aside time for King Xin to put himself in the shoes of the great rivers and mountains, so that he could have more contact with the people of Shengdou.

It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen accompanied King Xin on the road like a tourist for a month, during which they saw the scene of spring ploughing in full swing in Beizhili, and heard too many laughter.

In Henan and Shaanxi, we have also seen water conservancy facilities that are being rebuilt after the war, and many factories have risen from the ground.

The large-scale project of tens of thousands of people is in full swing, and the shock it brings to people is so great, and Chongzhen, who stepped down, is no exception.

Mother refused to bend her waist and refused to accept the title of "Han Empire", how embarrassing was Ma Xianglin, who was awarded the title of first-class marquis? Qin Yanyi, the imperial concubine of the "Han Empire", is also in a dilemma.

Who knew that when the spring flowers were blooming, something even more embarrassing happened, the former Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and now the "Han Empire" letter king Zhu Youzhen actually came to Shaanxi.

"Han Empire" King Xin should be ranked third, second only to Emperor Wuwei Huang Han and Emperor Taishang Huang Yizhou, Huang Yong, Huang Yi, Huang Ang, the three brothers of Emperor Wuwei and the eight princes of "Cautious Xiaoxin" and "Truth Eternal" did not get the title of prince.

Huang Yong was canonized as the "King of Hanwei County" because of his outstanding military exploits, Huang Yi was knighted as the "King of Xuanwei County", Huang Ang got the title of General of Zhenguo, and the eight princes were minors, mainly studying, and had no title.

The first fierce general of the emperor's relatives and relatives Han Zi entered the Duke of Qin, Song Pengfei entered the Duke of Jin, and Wang Zhicheng, who did not seek military merits and killed the enemy wholeheartedly, entered the Duke of the Northern Kingdom.

Qin Liangyu, Xu Mingyang, Yang Danian, Huang Sifang, Zheng Xiaowen, Gao Youmou, Zhang Yang, Sang Yu, Liu Fenyong, Fang Liandong, Shi Daxuan and other civil and military generals A total of 18 people have first, second, and third dukes respectively.

The title of "Han Empire" can also be hereditary, but the title of the lord is reduced to three grades at a time, which means that it completely depends on the ancestral shade, and it is basically gone after three or four generations.

Ma Xianglin, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Zhao Kun, Li Ruolian, Liu Zhilun, Gu Rushan, Shen Ming, Gu Kui, Mao Chenglu, He Yongqing, Huang Chunsheng, Shang Keyi, Huang Long, Shen Xianyi and other 36 people are among the marquises.

Seventy-two people who won the earl were Liu Sihai, Wang Gensheng, Huang Nongsheng, Yang Gu, Pei Daneng, Zhao Shisan, Jin Minghu, Gu Jixiang, Zheng Xuewu, Wu Youxing, Li Zhongzi, Yu Fei, Peng Huaiyi, Li Weiluan, Zhang Fengyi, Li Sanniangzi, Qin Rong and so on.

The title of the "Han Empire" corresponds to treatment and honor, and is not linked to power, power corresponds to position, and there is no fertile land as a fief, but real money is issued on a monthly basis.

Dukes, marquises, and earls are all divided into three ranks, and a first-class duke such as Hanzi can have an extra 1,200 silver coins every month in addition to the monthly salary he deserves.

The marquis of the first class received 600 pieces of silver every month, the first earl of the first class received 300 pieces of silver per month, the second class earl was 240 yuan, and the third class earl received 180 pieces of silver per month.

For example, the monthly income of King Shin is 2,400 silver coins, which is equivalent to a year's income of nearly 30,000 taels of silver.

After many general surveys of monthly income, the average monthly income of ordinary laborers in the "Han Empire" was between 1,500 and 3,000 wen.

The annual salary of a person from the master book of the ninth grade is only 60 silver coins plus 12 stone wheat seeds, and the annual salary of the official residence is 1,500 silver coins plus 150 stone polished rice.

A third-class earl can get at least sixty or seventy times the monthly salary of an ordinary worker, and it is a lifelong system, counting the position of the salary, there should be a lot, Huang Han thinks that with such an income is enough.

The vast majority of those who were knighted had great military merits, and the imperial court should be treated favorably, and the real money and silver should be distributed on a monthly basis, at least to ensure that some of the lords who are not suitable for the peaceful and prosperous times, have not received a real job, or whose real rank is too low, can live a prosperous life.

The last time Emperor Wuwei issued an order to canonize Qin Liangyu as the Duke of Shu, Qin Liangyu refused to accept the decree and did not show up at all.

This time, King Xin came to issue an edict, Qin Liangyu was in a dilemma, and there was nothing to do, surrounded by Qin Yanyi, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Rong and other female generals, he came to the hall of the original Ming Qin Palace, where the incense case was opened.

Seeing Chongzhen, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but burst into tears, she was so emotional that she couldn't speak for a while, she fell to her knees with a plop, and bowed three times and nine times.

Seeing this situation, King Xin had an idea, and he knelt down to receive the decree as Qin Liangyu, and hurriedly unfolded the holy decree to read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says ......"

After King Xin finished reading the holy decree, Qin Liangyu relieved himself and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, the minister is not kneeling to thank the new monarch, but ......"

Zhang Fengyi, who was beside her, was shocked, and hurriedly covered her mother-in-law's mouth and said in her ear: "King Xin's situation is delicate, you must not say disobedient words to bring trouble to King Xin."

You have always been concerned about King Xin, and now he can still come to Xi'an, which is enough to show that today's saint is broad-minded and can tolerate people, and the 'Han Empire' has such a Ming monarch is fortunate and even hazy, why do you still insist on going your own way? ”

Qin Liangyu scoffed at her daughter-in-law's later words, but "Bring trouble to King Xin" deeply touched Qin Liangyu, and she had to acquiesce to the misunderstanding just now with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that Qin Liangyu was no longer talking, King Xin wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Emperor Wuwei" has been on the throne for more than four months, and there is indeed no restriction on his freedom, and a high amount of money will be distributed every month, and the monthly money of the concubines and eunuchs in the palace is also sufficient.

Without the emperor to do it, there is no need to worry about state affairs, and the quality of life of him, the king of faith, is actually better than when he was on the throne of the emperor.

But he knew that all this had to be based on his lack of two hearts, and if he was guessed by "Emperor Wuwei" to be opposed, I am afraid that it would be impossible to be free again.

When he went to Shaanxi, King Xin was actually a little apprehensive and worried that something would happen on the road.

Later, I found that Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen accompanied him, and his heart was a little at ease, and he passed through the state along the way, and the local officials were thoughtful, and the king believed that "Emperor Wuwei" was really ready to appoint himself to do things.

Zhu Youzhen, who has never been far away, walked thousands of miles, enjoying the scenery along the way, only feeling happy and forgetting his worries, and before he knew it, he began to be obsessed with the world, hoping to spend the rest of his life in peace.

Last year, he was still longing for a loyal minister to turn the tide, but this year his mentality is completely different, for fear that a certain important minister who does not know the height of the sky will take the initiative to come to him to plot a reinstatement.

Chongzhen's ability is not good, it does not mean that he lacks intelligence, in fact, he has been on the supreme throne for fourteen years, and he still has vision.

Now he is not in his position, he is not trapped by the office, but he can be a clear observer.

Along the way, Chongzhen, who stepped down, found that no civilian and military generals showed how deliberate his arrival was, and he could see wherever he wanted.

Therefore, Chongzhen had the opportunity to make a private visit with Shengdou Xiaomin, and ordinary soldiers chatted, but the result was sad, and I didn't hear anyone say a word about Emperor Chongzhen's goodness, and they were talking about how the current life has improved, and what will happen in the future......

Huang Han really didn't mean to kill Chongzhen, so he specially summoned Huang Sifang, Li Ruolian, Li Sanniangzi, Fang Jingcheng, Lou Yun, and Zhang Chao, the spy leaders of the "Han Empire".

There was no nonsense, and he directly issued an edict explaining that as long as something happened to King Zhu You, the chief officials of the flag guard and the brocade guard in charge of the place would be decided, and all the chief officials below Huang Sifang would be exiled overseas.

The most difficult thing to guess in the world is people's hearts, Huang Han took precautions to prevent a stunned young man who wanted to ascend to the sky in order to invite merit to organize people to attack and kill Zhu Youzhen, and strictly ordered the spy organization to secretly protect it.

The emperor's attitude was so clear that Zhu Youzhen really gained freedom, even more than when he was in power.

It's just a pity that Zhu Youzhen, who has seen the grassroots soldiers and civilians with his own eyes, is no longer the emperor of the dynasty, if he had such an experience during his reign, maybe the country may not be going to perish.

Fearlessness comes from ignorance, Chongzhen had the opportunity to inspect the grassroots for more than a month, and finally understood why Huang Han was so confident and why he could tolerate the Zhu Ming royal family.

That's because the "Han Empire" is strong and strong, and its strength is enough to crush any opposition forces, and there is no need to kill people to establish its authority, and the "Red Banner Army" has long been powerful in the world.

Seeing the loyal and unparalleled Qin Liangyu today, Chongzhen was annoyed in his heart, regretting that he could not transfer Qin Liangyu to the court as soon as possible to entrust him with important tasks.

It's too late to say anything now, he doesn't want to bring trouble on himself, and he doesn't want to see Qin Liangyu not being tolerated by the new dynasty, so he takes the initiative to persuade him.

Even if Qin Liangyu is unwilling to give in, even Chongzhen has chosen to accept her fate, what else can she do?

But she was stubborn and did not choose to go to Beijing to meet the new emperor, but embarked on the road back to Sichuan with a heart full of loneliness......

A few days after Chongzhen bid farewell to Qin Liangyu, he received a holy decree, and Emperor Wuwei appointed him to inspect Huguang and Nanzhili.

He understood that this was a beautiful difference for the Heavenly Patrol Hunt, and knew that this was because he handled Qin Liangyu's problem very decently and won the affirmation of Emperor Wuwei.

……

Time flies, five years have passed in the blink of an eye, Eastern Europe is billowing in smoke, the Yellow Peril is intensifying, the population of Muscovy has plummeted, and it is in danger of being wiped out.

The Indochina Peninsula was included in the territory of the "Han Empire", the Spaniards were expelled from Luzon, there was no Japanese state on the map, and the first port of the "Han Empire" was located at the western entrance of the Strait of Malacca.

In addition to expanding in the mainland, the "Han Empire" added seven political envoys, and also set up the "Eastern Zhili" in Central America to establish the "Yuanjing City" to manage eleven political envoys, and the "New Zhili" in Australia to build the "New Beijing" to rule five political envoys.

The territory of the "Han Empire" far surpassed the "two capitals and thirteen provinces" of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is "four capitals and thirty-six provinces", with a land area of 20 million square kilometers and a population of more than 150 million.

King Xin became more and more energetic, playing Tai Chi every day, the original rickety back straightened a lot, he fell in love with travel, North and South America, Australia, Luzon, the Malay Peninsula have left his footprints.

It was rare for him to return to the Jingshi Mansion during this time, and that was because the lord of Kunxing County was about to get married, and he was about to become one of the princes of the dynasty.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including King Xin, are looking forward to the triumph of the "Emperor Wuwei" who personally conquered the English Channel, and then double happiness will come.

No one doubted the combat effectiveness of the "Han Empire" Longwu Naval Division, and they all knew that dispatching 120 thermally powered steel warships, plus more than 200 sail battleships, and more than 100,000 "Red Banner Army" was enough to sweep the world......
