"Why are there only women in this city?"

Emperor Yang walked through the empty city of Ningxia with a cane, looked at the trembling old and weak women and children on both sides, and said with a pure face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is true that the vast majority of them are women, even if there are a few men, they are all little children who are not more than a meter tall, it can be said that adult men can hardly see it, let alone young adults, even old men can't see it, all of them are women and children. One by one, they were lying on the ground and shivering involuntarily, and a few women were also covering the mouths of the children next to them to prevent the latter from crying, and at the same time peeking at Yang Feng with frightened eyes, as if the blood light behind His Majesty the Emperor was surrounded by ghosts and bones like a mountain of white bones under his feet, exuding a cold air from the Netherworld and Hell.

Well, that's exactly how he is in the minds of these people.

"Your Majesty, here are all the families of the rebels, the men died on the battlefield with the slaves against the court, and the only women and children left are these women and children, Your Majesty is merciful and forgives them for the crime of rebellion, this time I heard that Your Majesty is fortunate to be here, and they all ran out to thank Your Majesty! Alas, speaking of which, this is all the sin created by the slave, who not only forced their men to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, but also angered them after the defeat, and killed the rest of the men, if it wasn't for the arrival of the imperial army, maybe even they would have to be buried under the butcher's knife of the Tartar! ”

The Ningxia prefect beside him said with a look of pity.

At the same time, the prefect glanced at the police chief next to him.

Different from the system of self-elected magistrates in the mainland, in this kind of government, which is still under military control, local officials are nominated by the government of the economic strategy, and then handed over to Emperor Yang for evaluation and then appointed, and only after the military control is lifted by the holy decree, the local government has the power to elect officials by itself, and this prefect is actually an officer who retired due to injury. The police chief he appointed was also a wounded and retired subordinate when he was the commander of the Ming army battalion, and the latter quickly understood the meaning of his eyes, and immediately glared at those old and weak women and children, and the scars on his face left by the massacre of the city made this guy's face more and more hideous. Those old and weak women and children were so frightened that they hurriedly lay on the ground as fast as they could, and while kowtowing to His Majesty the Emperor while thanking His Majesty the Emperor for not killing, there were also a lot of excited crying voices in between, and it could be seen that they really loved His Majesty the Emperor.

"They're all good boys!"

Emperor Yang stroked a child's head and said with emotion.

"Although their previous generation has gone down the wrong path, the children are innocent! As local officials, you must take the responsibility of educating them to grow up healthily, teach them more the way of Confucius and Mencius, poetry, books and etiquette, and those miscellaneous studies can be put aside first, and the most important thing for them now is the health of their minds. ”

Then His Majesty the Emperor shouted to the local officials.

"Obey the Divine Commandment!"

A group of officials hurriedly lay on the ground and shouted.

Emperor Yang nodded with satisfaction and then asked He Jin in a low voice, "How many people are in this Ningxia city?" ”

"Your Majesty, about 10,000 mouths."

He Jin said.

"How much was before?"

Yang Feng asked.

"One hundred thousand!"

He Jin replied.

"You're doing a great job!"

Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said.

In fact, at this time, after experiencing the war that lasted for many years in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the population of Ningxia, Guyuan, Wuwei and other places has decreased by more than seventy percent, especially in Ningxia, the two cities of Guyuan can be said to be ten rooms and nine emptiness, and even the entire population of Gansu has decreased by more than half.

Of course, the history of the Ming Dynasty will only remember the names of two sinners.

At this time, it can be said that there is no trace of Lao Mu in the empty city of Ningxia, not only Ningxia, but also the entire northwest, not only Lao Mu, the traces of those high hats have also been completely erased, everything they have should be demolished and burned, including those who refuse to give in, and the raging fire has washed away everything in the past. At this time, all over Gansu, there were only holy shrines under construction and schools reading Ziyue poems, and the new generation here was gradually growing up under the watering of Confucius and Mencius and the holy oracles. Like the clumps of green seedlings sprouting from the fire-burned ruins, it won't be long before they grow into lush forests, turning everything old into sludge that rots at their roots, and then when the dead leaves fall in the fall, even the sludge is replaced.

It is estimated that at that time, what is below will be completely forgotten by this world.

And that's purification!

The process of purification is bloody and painful.

But purification is also the most effective solution.

"The name of Ningxia is not good, it must be changed, it belonged to Shuofang in ancient times, so it should be changed to Shuofang Mansion! There is also Guyuan, this name also has to be changed, wasn't it called Gaoping County before? In the future, it will also be changed to Gaoping Mansion! ”

Emperor Yang said standing on the street.

In this way, he erased the last traces of it.

And Shuo Fang is the last stop of His Majesty the Emperor's western tour, and then he returned to Lanzhou the same way, at this time Sangjie Gyatso's envoy has arrived in Lanzhou City, after being received by His Majesty the Emperor, and by His Majesty the Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan to restore the Tubo country, and named Sangjie Gyatso as the king of Tubo, the messenger immediately shouted long live with excitement, saying that this is what Sangjie Gyatso dreamed of, although Yangcang Gyatso is just his puppet, but not himself as the king of the snow This is not perfect after all, and now it is perfect.

As for the rest, it's not worth mentioning.

What is the prime minister in Tibet and the assistant minister, it is not worth mentioning, that Kang Mazi originally had a minister in Tibet, but now it is nothing more than changing the name, changing a group of people and replacing some troops to station, it can be said that this point is simply to maintain the original state! There are also two provinces of Qinghai and Kangding, which are not worth mentioning, because it was not his territory in the first place, Qinghai was Lazang Khan's, and Kang District was the local Tusi supported by Lazang Khan, and these places had nothing to do with him, and even Lazang Khan was his main enemy, and it was too late for him to be happy when the latter died and the country was destroyed. The only thing that has changed a little is that Tibetans are not allowed to leave the country, which is also not worth mentioning at all, and Sangyel Gyatso does not like his subjects to run out, and the hearts of those who like to run out are prone to grass. He has no ambition to expand the territory, he was still under the rule of Razang Khan before, and now he is just trying to keep a corner of the land as the emperor of the land, so that the stupider the people, the better, the stupid people are easy to rule, and those who have seen too much of the outside world are not easy to rule.

In this way, with the issuance of the golden seal and edict of the Tibetan king, the problem of the Tibetan area was completely solved.

At the same time, with the formal establishment of the Broken Leaf Mansion and the Kazakhs after the death of Tuuk Khan, the internal struggle for power and profit fell into a large-scale scuffle, and the Ming Dynasty's ruling power over the Western Regions was also formally established, and even the local officials of the provinces and counties were nominated by the Northwest Economic Strategy Embassy, and then appointed by the edict of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this point, a vast empire took shape in the East.

The size of this empire can be said to be second only to Mongolia back then, but considering that the Mongol Empire is not a real centralized empire, then the Ming Dynasty at this time can be said to be the largest empire ever on the planet, and no empire can be compared with it, if you add vassal states, this empire almost includes half of Asia, and you have to add Oceania, with a total area of nearly 30 million square kilometers.

The empire is suffocatingly large.

The northernmost point of his territory was on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, and the Ming navy officially passed through the Bering Strait and established a military station at the northern mouth of the strait.

Last year, the expedition ship of the Golden State Company from Golden State not only included New Zealand into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also crossed the cold ocean to the edge of the Antarctic ice sheet, and presented more than a dozen emperor penguins to the Royal Rare Bird Park, which also officially marked Antarctica on the map of the Ming Dynasty.

The westernmost part of his territory extended to Central Asia, allowing the name Broken Leaf to reappear on the map of the Han Empire.

As for the easternmost part of his territory, it has actually extended to distant Hawaii, last year the warships of the Ming Navy arrived in Hawaii and set up a naval supply depot at Pearl Harbor, because they did not understand the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, the indigenous chiefs of Hawaii coveted some small gifts, and joined the ranks of tribute to the Ming Dynasty in a vague way, and obtained the edict of His Majesty the Ming Emperor......

Although until now they don't know what that means.

But on the map of the Ming Dynasty, it has become the Yuanqiao Kingdom to which the Ming Dynasty belongs......

Well, this name was given by His Majesty the Emperor, anyway, the Five Immortal Mountains in the East China Sea, Daiyu and Yuanqiao disappeared and disappeared and did not know where to go, although it is rumored to have sunk at the bottom of the sea, but the rumors of this kind of thing are accurate or the words of the gods of the present world are accurate? He said that Hawaii was a Yuanqiao and then the Aleutian Islands became the Daiyu Islands. This is not a myth or legend, this is the earliest evidence that our Chinese ancestors discovered these lands, and then he can sacrifice such a big killing weapon since ancient times, plus the Indians who have also been designated as Yin immigrants, then the big stick of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times can be smashed all the way to the east coast of the Pacific Ocean.

In fact, at this time, the big stick of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times has begun to wield its might.

"The land of Jiaozhi has been Chinese territory since ancient times, when the Song Dynasty was in China, there was no time to take care of the remoteness, so the local vassal was hereditary, and it was inherited to the Yongle period of the national dynasty, the Li family was killed by the rebel party, Emperor Chengzu took Annan as the heir to the imperial court, and then Li Li rebelled, so that the soldiers of Annan were in trouble, and Emperor Xuanzong was merciful and could not bear the catastrophe of the Li people of Annan, so he pardoned the sins of the Li family, and made it a vassal to protect the people. However, the incompetence of the Li clan made the domestic rebellion one after another rebel ministers and the people were ruined, and colluded with the Tartars to betray the Ming Dynasty, so the holy lord was angry and abolished his title, and the Ruan family was loyal, so he named Nguyen Phuc Thu as the king of Annam to replace him, but the Li clan and the rebel Zheng did not want to bow down and apologize, but raised troops to resist the mandate of heaven, it is really a great crime, today the soldiers have arrived, and they are not quickly tied up to wait for the holy judgment, if they continue to be stubborn, the army will act on behalf of the heavens! ”

Yang Huai, the special envoy of the Ministry of Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, held the ultimatum of the Ming Imperial Government and faced Le Wei Yu and Zheng ?? Said proudly.

"If you want to fight, you will fight, I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Annan, how can I be afraid that you will not succeed?"

Zheng?? A general beside him said angrily.

"Yes, if you want to fight, you will fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!"

A group of generals of the Zheng family also roared angrily, during this time, because of the victory over the Ruan family, their confidence was extremely inflated, although they were also very aware of the ferocity of the Ming army, but these guys were also aware of their advantages, the humid and hot jungle and mountains of Annan were their most powerful weapons, and the Ming army was also so powerful that it was admirable, but the result was not the same as being consumed by Li Li and finally had to withdraw from Annan?

"Master Zheng, is this your choice?"

Yang Huai looked at Zheng?? Said lightly.

As for Levy Lee......

Everyone understands what his situation is, so it's better to just ignore it.

"The small state of Annan, who thinks that he has never offended the kingdom, if he is responsible for returning to the Tatars, then after the Jiashen national disaster, who is not the case in the Ming Dynasty, and he is the only one in Annan? If you take responsibility for Ruan Zheng's dispute, then I am the only Zheng family, isn't this the case with the Ruan family? My Zheng family is mainly based on the Li family after all, and I think I am a loyal minister of Annan, and I am loyal to the country, which makes the world feel cold! ”

Zheng?? Said with a gloomy face.

He knows very well that there is little hope for this war, and it can even be said that there is no chance of victory, but the problem is that he has no way out, and Yang Feng has not given him a way out, the Zheng family can only fight if he wants to destroy the clan, if he really counts it, he is indeed quite innocent, in fact, no matter what reason Da Ming uses to beat him, he can find out the taste of the crime he wants to add. He is not the only one who submits to the Qing Dynasty, but the main vassals of the Ming Dynasty have all surrendered, and even Goryeo is not the same as the Qing Dynasty? Then why do you want to trouble me alone? If you want to say that everyone is vying for power and profit to mess up Annan, this slap can't be slapped, is that the Ruan family doing well with us? Why did they become the kings of Annam, and we became rebels? Anyway, we still arch a tablet of the Li Dynasty, so what does the Ruan family have?

It's good to be reasonable!

Reason? Da Ming is the truth!

Yang Huai looked at him speechlessly, it was obvious that Zheng?? 's performance didn't do much.

"Your Excellency, please answer my question!"

He continued to say with a blank face.

"If the kingdom continues to be pressured, even though I am young, I cannot suffer this humiliation, and I can only fight to the end to defend my homeland!"

Zheng?? He slapped the table and stood up and shouted.

"Well, I hope you'll be clear-headed the next time you come back!"

Yang Huai said with satisfaction.

Immediately after he led his attaché out of Hanoi, just when he arrived at Haiphong and boarded a Ming warship in the port, the two armies of the Ming army, which had completed the assembly on the Guangxi front, suddenly launched a thunderous attack! (To be continued.) )
