Chapter 404: Dawn of Troubled Times (Final Chapter)
At this moment, in this distant country in the north, in this city full of dreams and beauty, the roaring sound of artillery and shouting has become the main theme, and the scimitar with a handle colder than the cold wind and snowflakes slashed through the air, bringing up bursts of blood, and the blood water crossed the space, quickly fused with snowflakes and cold airflow, turning into strange blood beads, and then falling to the ground, dotting the vast snowy world.
With the help of tiger squat cannons and grenades, the explosion ploughed a bloody path along the direction of the palace, and the cold blade greeted the enemy before the enemy's shotgun could be fired, and the whirring sound that pierced the air made the enemy unable to distinguish whether it was the cold scimitar or the fierce cold wind, and the cold death breath spread rapidly along the wide avenue towards the palatial palace in the middle of the city.
"What happened?" Mikhail Fedorovich asked with a cough.
"Sand γγγγγγγ Sand......... Sand....... Emperor! Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! The attendant said in a panic.
"Enemy attack?" Mikhail Fedorovich was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Where did the enemy come from?" β
"No... No... I don't know! The squire said.
"Tsar!" At this time, a slightly old and calm voice sounded.
Mikhail Fedorovich looked up and it turned out to be Patriarch Filaret, "Tsar!" This Cossack united with the army of the Ming Kingdom to attack us! The enemy is fierce, we rushed to fight and were defeated for a while, and asked the Tsar to take refuge in a safe place for a while! β
"What?!" Mikhail Fedorovich was taken aback, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Haven't those damned Cossacks given up yet?" Damn it! After a pause, he said, "Father! What's going on now? β
"You don't have to worry about this, go to a safe place first, and I'll take care of the rest!" Patriarch Filaret said.
"Yes!" Mikhail Fedorovich sighed.
"Someone! Send the Tsar to a safe place for refuge! Patriarch Filaret waved his sleeves and went out.
Sirens rang throughout St. Petersburg, shouts of killing rang out everywhere, explosions, screams, shouts mingled, the quiet of the morning was completely shattered, and the mood of fear and panic spread, which reminded them of the previous Mongol expeditions to the west.
Blood flowed slowly along the vast snow, spreading, with the cover of the snow and the assistance of vitality, the Ming army advanced towards the palace at a lightning speed, like a sharp sword, cutting through thorns and thorns, the sword pointed, everywhere!
After a burst of bombardment, he temporarily suppressed the enemy's attack, standing in front of the rich palace gate, many soldiers couldn't help but want to leave Harazi, but if such a cold day flowed out, it would be a matter of trouble, "Leader Oba, General Li, you two guard these two main roads, don't let the enemy's reinforcements come in!" The rest of the people will go in with me! Cao Wenzhao said coldly.
"Yes!" Oba and Li Quanhan said at the same time, several tiger squatting cannons lined up, and the black and oppressive figures appeared on the main road was a firepower salvo, leaving only bursts of screams in the gray space, and then a bunch of white shadows swarmed up against the whistling cold wind, and a burst of cold light was everywhere, and finally only the short snowdrifts on the snow were left, piled higher and higher, and piled higher and higherγγγγγγ
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the palace gate was blown to pieces, and the white torrent poured into this glorious palace, the killing continued, and the blood gradually stained this magnificent and dreamy snow-white castle, and then this blood-colored sky, and this beautiful countryγγγγγγ
A few months later, the Daming Palace, the Qianqing Palace, bathed in warm sunshine, Chongzhen looked at Cao Wenzhao who was standing in front of him at the moment with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Cao Aiqing! I haven't seen you in some days! I'm so worried! β
Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, it was not a happy thing for the emperor to be worried, and hurriedly saluted: "The last general thanks Lord Longen!" The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored and live up to the holy hope! β
"Aiqing has worked hard for me Daming!" Chongzhen patted Cao Wenzhao's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "In the future, Daming still needs Aiqing!" Don't slack off! Then he returned to his royal table, looked at the full map of the emperor hanging on the wall behind him, and said, "This large piece of land needs someone to guard it!" I'm optimistic about Aiqing! β
"Your Majesty! This! Cao Wenzhao was stunned, if this military region is established, it will probably be the largest military region in the whole Ming Dynasty.
"There is Aiqing, the god of war, guarding it! I'm at ease! Chongzhen smiled, "I and the cabinet have already decided!" Aiqing rested for a while and went to work! β
"The last will obey! Thank you, Lord Longne! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Cao Wenzhao saluted.
"Teacher! And Li Aiqing! The rewards for the soldiers were given in a timely manner, and the grassland cabinet given to the Mongolian ministries came up with a plan as soon as possible, as well as the garrison and the establishment of the Mongolian autonomous region were discussed as soon as possible! In addition, the three major Yuzi tribes of the Kazakh Khanate were also pacified, and then they were taken over and merged with the current Yarkand, Junggar and other places to be called Xinjiang Autonomous Region, and some Ladakh, Guge, Qiangtang, Zang Khan, Gelugpai, Derge, and Baili merged to form the Tibet Autonomous Region, I feel that I should give this Batur a reward! It saved me a lot of things! Chongzhen laughed.
"Your Majesty! Weichen thinks that this division is inappropriate! Originally, in the eastern part of Yarkand, my Ming Dynasty had set up a guard here, and some of my Ming people had moved to the original area, so Weichen thought that in order to facilitate management, he should separate two Cheng Xuan political envoys and directly assign them to my Ming Dynasty for direct and effective management! "Cheng Ji said.
"How do you set it up?" Chongzhen Road.
"This area originally had some areas under the management of my Ming Dynasty, and the previous dynasty also had a record of rule, and Weichen suggested that this Yarkand be divided into two parts!" Say complete the base life and make a stroke on the map.
"Your Majesty, the name of Xinjiang is very appropriate, it can be interpreted as a newly opened territory or as a new return to the homeland, these are our homeland during the previous dynasties, and Weichen thinks it is very appropriate, as for the other two Weichen think it can be named Gansu and Qinghai, that is, one is called Gansu Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and the other is called Qinghai Chengxuan Political Envoy Division! Subsequently, the imperial court could emigrate to these areas from some areas where the harvest is not good today! "Cheng Ji said.
Several other people nodded after hearing this, and seconded the proposal, and then Liu Hongxun continued: "As for the Xipol region in the northern region of Mongolia, the cabinet's suggestion is that it can be assigned to the Mongolian Autonomous Region, firstly, it is distributed to the Mongolian ministries as a reward to stabilize the ministries, and secondly, it is also conducive to the jurisdiction of the imperial court. β
"Quasi-play!" Chongzhen waved his hand.
"In addition, the ministers and others suggested that the number of candidates for the imperial examination be increased this year, and the territory has expanded so much at once, which requires a large number of officials to control it!" Sun Chengzong said again at this time.
"That's right! The teacher was right! Let these newly annexed areas also send people to participate in the imperial examinations! Their topics are not selected according to the Central Plains region! Chongzhen said.
"Let people from the newly annexed area also join the expedition?!" Several members of the cabinet were immediately stunned, and then they seemed to understand something, and praised one after another: "Your Majesty Shengming! β
"And! This school also goes to these areas, and it can't be done in a single step in a major city! Let the children there learn the language of my Daming! Culture! Cultivate into my Ming talents! Let them gradually integrate into my Daming! Chongzhen looked at Bi Ziyan and said.
"We're in command! Your Majesty rest assured! Bi Ziyan bowed down, Bi Ziyan was bitter in his heart, how much money did it cost, those who were poor and remote, he sighed in his heart.
"Your Majesty! So how should the royal family of the Romanlov dynasty ask for instructions? Li Yangde asked at this time.
"What does the Cabinet mean?" Chongzhen didn't answer directly, but asked.
"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" Sun Chengzong said straightforwardly.
"In that case! That's it! Chongzhen also said very simply, and then said: "Now that they are in chaos at home, Poland and Sweden have also entered, I will keep neutral and not participate in the cooperation, just let them have internal strife!" Speaking of which, there is also Napu's reputation, let him continue to make trouble in the Annan region, the Mo Dynasty will continue to support it, as for the Zheng family, the Li Dynasty, and the Ruan Dynasty will continue to let them maintain the status quo, and fight, and the same is true on the side of the Wa Kingdom, just let the brothers consume them like this, right! Let Governor Yuan send troops to clean up North Korea! Classified into Liaodong! β
"Your Majesty! Then the Ryukyu King Shangfeng asked to be incorporated into my Ming Dynasty? Li Yangde asked again.
"Your Majesty! The reason why King Shangfeng asked to merge into my Ming Dynasty at this time was because of the invasion of Satsuma by the Wa Kingdom, and he wanted to use the military strength of my Ming Dynasty to clear Na Satsuma! Now the two countries are still vassal relations, and the ministers think that they will consider this after everything is completed! "At this time, Bi Ziyan spoke, this is the rhythm of fighting again?
"According to the news, it's three thousand soldiers, right?" Chongzhen knocked on the table, and then said: "Let Governor Wang lead the fleet over to bombard him, and the shells of last year will be used, and the cost of sending troops will be paid by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then the issue of integration will be discussed, and it will be assigned to the Taiwan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division." β
"Your Majesty! We have discovered new land according to the charts presented by the Dutch, and now the governor has sent people to conduct a field investigation, and then a detailed investigation will be carried out, and the results will be reported to the court as soon as possible! Sun Chengzong said.
"Now Tang Wang is doing well over there! That can be prepared early! Let those uncles who want to go out and see the new world outside, now you can start preparing! Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Wechen obeys!" Li Yangde and Bi Ziyan said at the same time.
"All reforms are implemented in a planned manner, point to point, and implemented gradually! Everything is stable now, but there is still a long way to go! Don't slack off! Assist me to prosper together with the Ming Dynasty! Create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty again! Chongzhen said proudly, looking at the bright sunshine outside the door, Chongzhen's heart was warm, the dawn is finally coming!
