Just when His Majesty the Emperor was deeply concerned about the growth of Major Ye Bei's thoughts, a new country was established in the distant Americas. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a hotel in Xinbocheng, representatives from the North American colonies finally negotiated the results, and the freedom fighters led by Hancock solemnly signed the declaration of the United States of America, and the United States of America was officially established.

Because the situation was different at this time, delegates everywhere preferred Philadelphia as the capital of the United States.

Washington is definitely gone, and Maryland is actually quite wild at this time.

The most developed area is actually Boston, but Boston is close to the sea and has no defensive depth to speak of, and Philadelphia is still a little closer to the Delaware River, at least if you start a war, you don't have to worry about others driving warships into the harbor to bombard you.

As for the president......

This is not really the case.

Including the French Republic, the government is also the speaker of the parliament as the head of state, and then the parliament elects the prime minister to be responsible for government affairs, which is actually similar to the Netherlands, but the Dutch themselves later got a government, but the French people will not be like them, because of the republic and inferiority, the United States of America is also ready to adopt the same political system as France, but their representatives are not real parliamentarians, so they have to elect members of parliament in various countries.

Of course, there were no thirteen colonies in the United States this time, and there were eleven colonies in Massachusetts, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maryland, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, New Jersey, and the Carolinas. And the area of these colonies is much smaller than when the United States was founded in the original history, with a total population of more than 700,000 at present, but Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Jersey and other major cities are still under British control, and even the British army has increased to 70,000, but it is still limited to controlling the cities, and it is basically difficult to move an inch away from these cities.

In fact, the two sides did not fight much during this time.

The main thing is that the British government does not want to fight.

How can they have the energy to deal with these rebellious ministers and thieves, the entire British economy is on the verge of collapse, a large number of merchant ships of the East India Company are rotting in the port, and the British finances are almost bankrupt, and besides, all their financial resources are concentrated to consolidate the defense of their homeland, if all the arms they have saved up are used to deal with these rebellious ministers and thieves, then what will happen to the Ming army in the future? In the final analysis, even if the colonies in the Americas rebelled, they would not threaten the survival of Britain, but the Ming army that was aggressively advancing westward would.

So Britain is still negotiating during this time.

They hope that this problem can be solved in a peaceful way, as long as there is no war, as long as you continue to pay taxes, even if you pay a little less, it is negotiable, as for the right to ask for power in Parliament, this is no problem, give you a few seats in parliament, but you must not leave the United Kingdom, and you must not pay taxes, this is very important, for the British government, everything else is negotiable, there is no compromise between the two. The first is to pay taxes, in fact, the British government promised to exempt not many taxes, and they still require the North American colonies to bear the same taxes as the British mainland, and the British in the colonies pay as much as they pay, which should be said to be very reasonable. The second is the franchise of the East India Company in some aspects, which is also very important, the British government is very clear about the discipline of these bastards in the colony, once they cancel the franchise of the East India Company, then these bastards will immediately leave the British economic system, and those Ming merchants will go to the embarrassment, and even be the pawns of those Ming merchants, helping them to extend their claws to the British mainland.

It's a given.

In short, it's easy to talk about nothing, and there is nothing to talk about when it comes to money.

However, the question of money was of paramount concern to the people of the colonies, who did not consider it fair to pay the same taxes as the native British people, and they could not tolerate the continued privileges of the East India Company, and the British government would not compromise on these matters, nor would they give in.

It is precisely because of this that Hancock and his gang finally resisted the coercion and temptation, and realized their American dream, which also made them completely break with the British, and then the British army began to attack the main areas controlled by the militias everywhere, and the war on the North American continent officially burned. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty announced the imposition of indefinite military sanctions against Britain and the cessation of all military supplies to Britain on the grounds that a white subject of Ming nationality was accidentally injured by the British army. In addition, as with the just cause of supporting the French people, there were also voices of support for the freedom of the American people in the Ming Dynasty, and then many volunteers quietly appeared in the Continental Army, and the Ming warships stationed in North America also frequently had unpleasant encounters with the British Navy.

Of course, this is not to mention the smuggling of weapons to the Continental Army.

In short, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the American people waged a bloody battle against the British invaders in order to establish freedom.

In the same way, the French people are fighting a bloody battle against the invaders.

Their enemies are numerous.

With Austria, Sweden, and Spain led by a dozen coalition forces, from the north, south and east of the three directions into France, Philip V brandished a butcher's knife, just like the Republic executed the nobles, executed all those loyal to the Republic, also for the sake of purity, the Republic also launched a larger-scale purge, the front-line soldiers bled each other, the respective governments in the rear continued to cleanse, the killing raged throughout France like a plague, and the blood of France continued to drain in the killing.

However, inspired by the slogan of freedom, equality and fraternity, the French people were not intimidated by the butcher's knife of the invaders, and young and middle-aged people from all over France armed themselves to join the battle to defend the republic.

This is the sheng battle of freedom.

The wrath of the warriors will bury all the invaders!

"Unfortunately, not here!"

Chen Qi said proudly.

At this time, he was standing on a green meadow in early spring, the same meadow stretched out almost as far as the eye could see, a crystal clear river flowing, countless flowers dotted on both sides of the river, and the blue sky in the distance, the white snow-capped mountains undulating and winding, it was really picturesque.

But alas, there are countless dead bodies lying in this picturesque landscape.

A large number of Ming soldiers with bayonets and rifles are walking among the dead corpses, from time to time with bayonets in their hands to stab a dead corpse in the chest, these dead corpses are generally older or younger, and there are few muskets beside them, most of them are cold weapons such as bows and arrows, behind these dead corpses is a small tribe, many women are lying there crying, but no one dares to step forward, some Ming militia are walking among them, looking satisfied with the appearance of directly dragged into the tent.

"You say you're willing to submit?"

Chen Qi looked at his feet and said.

At this moment lay at his feet an old man in satin, who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, not daring to lift his head, ignoring the cries of the woman behind him, and ignoring the dead eyes beside him.

"Yes, the villain is willing to lead all the clansmen to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and from now on forever submit to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."

The old man said.

"Do you know what to do in that case?"

Chen Qi said with a smile.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then reacted, waved to a few people behind him and said a few words in a stern tone, those people hesitated for a moment or hurriedly ran to greet the few dozen remaining people with weapons, and then rushed into a half-destroyed temple not far away, and quickly dragged out several of the oldest monks who did not come out to participate in the battle, pressed to the ground in front of Chen Qi, and unceremoniously cut off the heads with knives in his hands, and at the same time the old man beckoned to the women behind him and took out all the scriptures of each family, Pile it up in front of Chen Qi, pour kerosene, and set it on fire.

"My lord, this is the filial piety of the villain!"

Then the old man carried a bag of gold and silver coins, dragged a very reluctant young girl to Chen Qima, and said with a flattering face.

"Oh, the old patriarch is so polite."

Chen Qi quickly put on a face, jumped off the war horse, and said enthusiastically.

"The general came on behalf of the Son of Heaven to save my Kokand people from fire and water, this is also grateful, this woman's father followed Rahman's rebel thief to fight against Tianchao, and if the adult can accept her, it can be regarded as giving her a chance to atone for her father."

The old man said.

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful!"

Chen Qi said with satisfaction.

Then he took the money bag, grabbed it despite the girl's struggle, and skillfully handcuffed it and threw it directly on the horse's back, while the old man stepped on the corpse of his grandson who had just died in battle and shouted behind him: "Quickly prepare wine and meat for the generals, and let Aziz's daughter-in-law come out to serve the generals and be stained with national rain and dew, even if it is replanted for our family!" ”

Poor Aziz was staring at his feet.

Well, this is the scene of the Ming army's invasion of Kokand.

The total population of this country is only three or four hundred thousand, and the whole army in Shannan has wiped out fifty or sixty thousand young and middle-aged people, and the vast majority of the rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled with cold weapons. This is the case in the vast majority of places, where they choose to surrender after futile resistance. Anyway, this is the way of the world, surrendering in front of the iron hooves of the Ming army is always the wisest choice, you conquer this place in Central Asia, I conquer it, those tribal leaders have no discipline, as long as they can save their lives, they will grovel. It's a big deal to sacrifice their own money, their own women, kill the elders of the temples around the country, burn the scriptures, and from then on, honestly give the Ming Dynasty as a subject, but fortunately, the life of the Ming Dynasty as a subject is not worse than what they are now.

In fact, in addition to the humiliation points, the simple life of being a subject of the Ming Dynasty is much stronger than before them.

In this way, with the advance of the Ming army, in the Ferghana Basin, one tribe after another chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and soon even Andijan was bombarded by the Ming artillery, where the Ming army ignored the surrender request of the residents of the city, and a full 30,000 militia slaughtered into Andijan, looting this famous city on the Silk Road, regardless of wealth or residents, all killed or captured as slaves, so that they had to send 10,000 cavalry to transport the harvest back to Shannan.

After all, they can have such a patriotic heart and are willing to risk death to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, which is also in need of rewards, not to mention the money and slaves of Kokand, they have to let them make some money, otherwise it will be difficult to have such patriotic behavior in the future, in the final analysis, they are militia and not regular army, they are not obliged to go out to fight, they even have their own weapons, ammunition and horses!

"Tell Lu Yi not to rush to attack far away, just take Kokand."

Yang Feng said.

He still has to control the speed of point expansion, in fact, Kokand was not in the goal of this round of expansion, he was just pushed by the battle situation, after all, he was picked up by the Bukhara people if he didn't grab it, but it was unnecessary to continue to move forward, the supply line through two or three hundred miles of lofty mountains and mountains and then through three or four hundred miles of grasslands was too long, and after the initial momentum, it was easy to follow in the footsteps of Rahman, and it was mainly the militia that attacked Kokand rather than the regular army, and their combat effectiveness was not strong enough to be purely crushed.

Major Ye, who was moistened by the emperor's rain and dew, and his face was radiant, immediately entered the cabin to send a report, and at this time, the Great Eastern and the four cruisers guarding it were sailing out of Hakodate, and after soaking in the hot springs here for a few months, Emperor Yang finally decided to leave for the next stop.

His next stop was Vladivostok.

It now belongs to Lingdong Mansion in Heishui Province of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a government there, just an ordinary county seat, the government of Lingdong Province is in Shuangchengzi, the importance of Vladivostok is only military, but the Ming Dynasty is not what Russia needs from the Far East to the sea, so the status of Vladivostok is not important, the main military base of the Ming army in the Sea of Japan is in Busan, and the main military base in the north is in Hakodate, including the railway does not need this port, and the railway terminus of the Ming Dynasty in this direction is in Cheongjin in Goryeo.

He used Vladivostok as a site for his patrol only out of emotion.

After arriving at this small port that had just thawed, he just got off the boat and ate a meal of local specialties, and then boarded the ship and set sail again, and the next stop was Sakhalin Island, which was called Heilongyu on the map of the Ming Dynasty at this time. The patrol here is also like a dragonfly, just stop for a while and then leave, continue to the north along the coastline that has just thawed, and finally reach the northernmost point of the trip, that is, the northernmost Fuyucheng of the Ming Dynasty, and then from the jade city to the east to Yinzhou, along the coastline of Yinzhou all the way to the south.

Just when Emperor Yang was in high spirits along the coastline and admiring the scenery of his northern territory, the Ming army, which had just arrived in Kokand, also ushered in a big battle.
