~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Battle of Ismailia ended in a complete victory for the Imperial Chinese Army.

In this battle, the Chinese Imperial Army, with the help of air reconnaissance superiority, completely defeated the enemy strategically. However, because they underestimated the combat potential of the Ottoman army, they almost failed tactically.

After the battle, after counting the battle damage, the Chinese Imperial Army lost more than 4,000 killed and nearly 10,000 wounded. The garrison brigade of the fortress of Ismailia was badly damaged and almost faced the tragic situation of revoking the number. More than 70% of the defense system of the outer city of Ismailia Fortress was structurally damaged, and the cost of battle damage and post-war pension was as high as 45 million silver dollars, setting a record for the highest battle damage cost since the colonial war of the Chinese Empire, and also setting a new record for the highest casualties in a single battle of the Imperial Chinese Army.

Although the Ottoman army paid the price of 150,000 troops being annihilated in the Battle of Ismailia, and the cost of battle losses far exceeded that of the Egyptian garrison army of the Chinese Empire, Li Yan still had to return to Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, to personally report the situation to the General Staff of the Chinese Empire, and accept the questioning of the Imperial Military Court.

Of course, after the Battle of Ismailia, the central government of the Chinese Empire could not get the news until half a month later, but Li Yan was more conscious, and he would not wait for the summons from the Imperial General Staff to arrive in Cairo before getting up. Therefore, Li Yan entrusted the affairs of Egypt to Cao Jian, the chief of staff, and together with Li Zicheng, escorted the huge wealth plundered from Egypt back to China.

Obviously, Li Yan has his purpose in arranging this. Although the losses at the Battle of Ismailia were huge, they were nothing compared to the wealth plundered by Egypt. chose to return to China together, and was also somewhat confident in the face of questioning by the military court.

After the Battle of Ismailia, the Ottoman Turkish North African Expeditionary Force was so demoralized that it was no longer able to fight for North African territory.

At this time, the Ottoman government was embattled, and the European territories were invaded by European powers, and the Second Crusade put the Ottoman Empire under great military pressure in Europe. The Russian Empire in the north went all out south, threatening the security of Constantinople. To the south, faced with the formidable military power of the Egyptian garrison of the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman government was exhausted and had to adopt a compromise strategy.

The Second Crusade was the sheep's clothing of the European powers under the guise of religious wars, and inside were the greedy wolves of national territorial disputes. The Ottoman government weighed the pros and cons and compromised with the Chinese Empire, because the Chinese Empire was not for religious World War II.

After the Battle of Ismailia, the Ottoman government quickly sent an envoy to Cairo to negotiate an armistice with Cao Jian, chief of staff of the Egyptian garrison in the Chinese Empire.

Out of consideration for the core interests of the empire, Cao Jian agreed to negotiate a secret armistice with the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, in order to reduce a strong enemy, had to make huge concessions. The Ottoman Empire recognized the Chinese Empire's colonial rule over Egypt and ceded the Sinai Peninsula to the Chinese Empire in exchange for the Chinese Empire's cessation of military operations against the Ottoman Empire.

The strategic location of the Sinai Peninsula is extremely important. The Sinai Peninsula is a triangular peninsula connecting Africa and Asia, covering an area of more than 60,000 square kilometers. It is bordered by the Gulf of Suez and the Suez Canal to the west, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Negev Desert to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the north, and the Red Sea to the south. It is about 210 kilometers wide from east to west and about 385 kilometers from north to south. The vast dry area of the peninsula called the Sinai Desert is separated from the eastern desert of Egypt by the Gulf of Suez and canals, but the eastern part of the peninsula continues into the Negev Desert without significant topographical changes. The Sinai Peninsula is often considered to be Asian, located at the northeastern tip of Egypt and connected to the Jordan region and the Gaza Corridor to the east.

The Sinai Peninsula, as the connecting axis of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, has been a battleground for soldiers since the third millennium BC.

The Ottoman Empire's willingness to cede this important strategic point of the Sinai Peninsula to the Chinese Empire shows its sincerity. Because the Sinai Peninsula is not only a strategic location, but also an economic point that supports Egypt.

All of the granite needed by the Chinese Empire to build the fortress of Ismailia was mined from the Sinai Peninsula. Most of the stone in Egypt was mined from the Sinai Peninsula, which means that the Sinai Peninsula had to be obtained to restore the fortress of Ismailia.

At the same time, the Sinai Peninsula is also a major source of copper and turquoise mines, with thousands of large and small mines, all of which were managed by the Chinese Empire.

After the cession of the Sinai Peninsula, the Chinese Empire's rule over Egypt would be more secure, and the Suez Canal would be secured.

The Ottoman Empire gave such a big gift that Cao Jian accepted it very happily. In return, the Egyptian garrison of the Chinese Empire stopped its march after taking control of the Sinai Peninsula and demarcated the border with the Ottoman Empire via the Gaza Corridor.

The meeting between the two sides in Cairo was secret behind closed doors, and the armistice agreement signed was also top secret and not known to the outside world.

After the armistice was signed, the Ottoman army voluntarily withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula and retreated to the Gaza corridor. The Imperial Chinese Army, on the other hand, entered the Sinai Peninsula in a high-profile manner, and then halted its advance on the grounds that the front was too long and the number of troops was insufficient.

In this way, the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Empire secretly achieved a ceasefire, and the European powers did not know about it.

The Chinese Empire pulled out its legs from the Second Crusade and withdrew itself to watch the great war between the Holy See and the Islamic See.

The Chinese Empire, France, the Netherlands, and Spain divided the Ottoman Turkish Empire's territories in North Africa. The Chinese Empire blocked the Ottoman army's westward march into North Africa in Egypt, which was a favor to France and the Netherlands, allowing them to rule North Africa with peace of mind.

On the surface, the Chinese Empire became a shield for France, the Netherlands, and Spain against the Ottoman Empire, and the position of Egypt also determined the fact that the Chinese Empire became a shield. However, where can not look at the surface. The Chinese Empire blocked the way of the Ottoman army's westward expedition, but it also blocked the way for the European powers to invade the Ottoman Empire from Africa to Asia.

The only sovereign and independent state on the Red Sea coast remains on the continent, the Ethiopian Empire under the Solomonic dynasty.

The Solomon Empire was Christian, which was the main reason why the kingdom was never invaded militarily by European powers. At the same time, the eastern part of the Solomonic Dynasty was dominated by Islamic vassal states along the Red Sea, and the European Holy See had always regarded the Islamic Court as a mortal enemy, so the Kingdom of Ethiopia became an important pawn of the European Holy See to contain the expansion of the Arab world.

At the beginning of the eighth century, Arab immigrants who crossed the Red Sea, on the one hand, settled along the coast and monopolized trade in the Indian Ocean. On the other hand, they penetrated deep into the interior, settled in the Atraba River and the Blue Nile River, and established an Islamic Fengji Kingdom to oppress the Ethiopian Empire.

With the Second Crusade of Europe, the defeat of the Turkish Empire in North Africa inflicted the ambitions of the Ethiopian Empire, and King Solomon gathered his army and sent troops to East Africa and the west coast of the Red Sea to drive out the Arabs and occupy the territory of the Islamic vassal states.

However, the backer behind the Fengji Kingdom was the Ottoman Empire. Although the Ottoman Empire suffered defeat in North Africa and lost all of its African territory, its strength on the Arabian Peninsula was still strong and could not be defeated by a backward Solomonic dynasty.

The July War broke out between the Kingdom of Solomon and the Kingdom of Fengji, and in the seven-month war, the Kingdom of Solomon once reached the capital of the Kingdom of Fengji, but with the help of the Ottoman army, the Kingdom of Fengji finally turned defeat into victory and defeated the invading army of the Kingdom of Solomon. Not only that, but in order to turn the tide of the war in North Africa, the Ottoman Empire chose to break through from East Africa and reopen the African passage. And the Kingdom of Fengi was the springboard of the Ottoman Empire.

The Solomon Kingdom was the biggest obstacle to the Ottoman Empire's return to Africa, so the Ottoman army gathered 50,000 troops in the Arabian Peninsula, plus 70,000 troops from the Fengji Kingdom, and 120,000 troops invaded Ethiopia, and soon occupied most of the region.

The strategic deployment of the Ottoman Empire aroused the alarm of the European powers and the Chinese Empire, but the Chinese Empire had previously helped the European powers block the reinforcements of the Ottoman Empire to North Africa, and it itself suffered heavy losses. Therefore, now that the Ottoman Empire has invaded East Africa, the Chinese Empire has chosen to stand still.

The reason is very simple, after the fall of Ethiopia, the Ottoman Empire will directly threaten the Central African region, the rich Portuguese Kingdom of Congo is surrounded by the core interests of the European powers in Africa, the European powers will certainly not sit idly by, a major war is inevitable, the Chinese Empire in Egypt and South Africa two colonies can just watch the excitement, sit back and reap the benefits.

Sure enough, in order to protect their colonial interests in Africa, European countries had to send troops to rescue Ethiopia.

The European colonial powers in the vicinity of the Congo were mainly France and the British, and the Portuguese government sent an additional 10,000 soldiers to the Congo. The French mobilized 35,000 troops from North Africa, plus the British 5,000 colonial troops, and the three countries formed a combined force of 50,000 troops to march to the Ethiopian battlefield, stationed in Jima, and fought against the retreating army of King Solomon.

The two major religious alliances set up a position at the foot of Bell Mountain, and as soon as the two sides met, the hatred that had lasted for several lifetimes suddenly burst out. As soon as the two sides started the war, it immediately entered a white heat. The two major religious alliances fought only one round of running, and only fired one round of muskets, and immediately rushed together to start hand-to-hand combat.

Religious beliefs can be maddening, and the two major religious alliances are fighting together, and the fighting has gone beyond the scope of traditional warfare, and both sides have abandoned the rules of gentlemen's warfare, as if they were fatalistic enemies, and they are extremely red-eyed.

There were several fierce battles, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The European coalition forces have few troops and are affected by the terrain of the Ethiopian plateau, which makes it inconvenient to supply, but they are superior in advanced weapons. The Fonti-Osman army won because of its large number of troops, and the Fengi kingdom was located on the coast, which was relatively wealthy and convenient for supply, but the weapons were relatively poor. The two sides had their own advantages and disadvantages, and they were evenly matched on the whole, and for a time they were in a stalemate near Mount Bell.

The Chinese Empire's African Dispatch Force was stationed in South Africa, which had been quietly watching the war in Ethiopia, and had sent outposts and air balloons to conduct battlefield reconnaissance of the situation on both sides. Intelligence from both sides was aggregated to the Cape Town Command of the South African Sending Force. The Chinese Empire took advantage of the opportunity of the great war between the two sides to provide some information to both sides, and the higher price was obtained. Sometimes, however, there was a policy tilt to help the unfavorable side of the war, in order to balance the scales of the East African battlefield and to make both Europe and the Ottoman Empire lose as much as possible.

In the Red Sea, the Royal Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet was stationed at Sham Harbor at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, ushering in an era of control over the Red Sea.

At the same time, Li Yan and Li Zicheng escorted more than 2 million looted ancient Egyptian artifacts from Cairo to the Suez Fortress on the Red Sea through the Suez Canal under the escort of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

At the Suez Fortress, all the looted ancient Egyptian artifacts and gold and silver treasures were loaded into two Nuwa-class transport carriers and transported to China. At the same time, the Royal Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet dispatched more than 70 warships, large and small, to escort two transport carriers along the way to ensure that this huge wealth could be safely transported back home.

On the day of departure, the huge fleet attracted the attention of everyone on the Red Sea coast. For the first time, they saw the Royal Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet sail into the Red Sea, but they were most concerned about the two huge transport carriers. Taking it a step further, they focused on the more than two million ancient Egyptian artifacts shipped on the two transport carriers.

Many Red Sea pirates had the idea of looting these two treasure ships, and even the Ottoman army had this idea. However, when they saw the huge number of warships dispatched by the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and when they saw the thousands of vigilant soldiers on the Nuwa-class transport carrier, they finally dispelled their thoughts.

It is unrealistic, even delusional, to try to rob these two super treasure ships. Looking around the Indian Ocean, there is no other country whose navy has such a powerful strength to defeat the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

Similarly, tens of thousands of Egyptian natives have been watching the two transport carriers, their eyes full of hatred, if the eyes can kill, then the powerful Indian Ocean Fleet in front of them is estimated to be completely destroyed.

As the fleet set sail and two huge transport carriers left the port of Suez, thousands of Egyptian natives still running along the shore. If it seems to those who don't know, they still think that the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is so popular with the Egyptian people that the Egyptians are so reluctant to leave it.

In fact, the hearts of the Egyptians running on the shore were cursing the two treasure ships to sink into the sea quickly.

On the bridge of the wide Dongting Lake transport carrier, Li Yan and Li Zicheng held the fence and quietly looked down ahead.

Under the blue sea and blue sky, the huge transport carrier broke the waves, the waves rolled, and the huge whistling sound filled the ears.

Dozens of warships lined up on both sides, breaking the waves. Tall sails shaded the sun, and shadows stretched out of sight in the distance.

Li Yan and Li Zicheng stood on the bridge of the Dongting Lake transport carrier, with all the views in full view, and in the face of such a spectacular scene, the two of them were the first time that the eldest girl had experienced it in a sedan chair.

"I didn't expect us to have such a face, more than 70 warships escorted the ship, I'm afraid most of the Indian Ocean Fleet was sent."

Li Zicheng looked in a circle, because the Nuwa-class transport carrier was as tall as a city, so he felt that it was too small and too low to look at the other escort warships. The feeling of looking down on the whole fleet from a high place is like a general on the platform looking at the soldiers below, and the mood is extremely agitated.

Li Yan pursed his lips and replied: "What is our face, you must know that the Admiralty has always looked down on our War Department, and this time it is purely the pressure given to them by the General Staff, but people only came here because of these two treasure ships."

"Don't say it even if you know it in your heart?"

“……”

Li Zicheng smacked his lips and said: "In the past few years, I haven't heard of any actions in the navy, and it's all our army doing things." When it comes to spending money, we can't compare to the navy. But when it comes to making money, we have more money than their navy makes a little bit of what we miss. I wondered, what does their navy have to show off? ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly and replied: "What is there to show off about their navy, but people are old, who made the emperor the first to establish the country with the navy?" ”

Li Zicheng sighed, when it comes to qualifications, he has no choice.

"Heard that there are a lot of pirates in the Gulf of Aden? Our two treasure ships are big and windy."

Li Yan snorted coldly and said, "How many pirates can there be?" I don't believe they dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, but I have never seen how the navy fights, but I want to see it."

"Yes, I also want to see" Li Zicheng nodded and said: "I have seen sailors and water thieves fighting on the Yellow River in my hometown before, just like on land, but I heard that the gold content of naval warfare is very high now, and even a sailor needs to be literate and arithmetic, I really want to see how a group of Xiucai fights."

Li Yan smiled, but did not answer. He knew in his heart that in Li Zicheng's view, the one who could read and count was Xiucai. But he knew that the empire spent a huge amount of money on the navy, and it was by no means a show. It's just that Li Yan is an army officer and doesn't know much about those things in the navy.

In the imperial study room of the Forbidden City, Wang Zhaoyang, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported to Deng Haonan, the emperor of Shenwu.

Even if the Chinese Empire already possessed fast communication tools at sea, such as the Xianghai Sparrow-class fast communication ships, and even if it had advanced aerial flying tools such as hot air balloons, it would always delay for a long time to return to Beijing for the situation outside Asia.

In Europe, in particular, it is always a few months before new news comes back. For the Chinese Empire, it is already many times faster than other countries in terms of intelligence. European countries want to know the intelligence of the Chinese Empire, at least half a year later. This is also the result of the use of the Chinese Empire's messaging tools, otherwise it would have been delayed for at least a year or more. No matter what judgment is made, the cucumber dish is cold.

However, for Shenwu Emperor Deng Haonan, he still thought the news was too slow. It would be nice to have a radio, of course, this is just Deng Haonan's personal luxury

"Your Majesty, we have secretly reached a ceasefire agreement with the Ottoman Empire, and we will wait to see how the Europeans and Turks bite each other like crazy."

"Very good" Deng Haonan nodded with satisfaction, his favorite thing is to play strategy games, and he likes to watch dog-eat-dog between other countries.

"Although the Battle of Ismailia was a complete victory, it exposed a lot of problems," Deng Haonan said: "The Imperial soldiers seem to be a little proud, and the victorious division for more than ten years has boosted their psychology of despising the enemy."

"What the emperor said is extremely true" Wang Zhaoyang nodded and said: "Li Yan's deployment of this operation is generally impeccable. But on the matter of details, it is indeed a mistake to underestimate the enemy. The Ottoman armies spanned Europe, Asia and Africa, and it was not just a matter of luck, they did have their strength. Otherwise, the European powers would have killed this country long ago."

Deng Haonan said: "The Imperial Army has an unparalleled strong attack power, but over the years, the Army has been on the offensive, and military exercises are also aimed at attacking. I've always adhered to the credo that the best defense is offense, and this may have affected their mentality, so that they only attack and don't defend well."

Wang Zhaoyang replied: "The emperor doesn't have to blame himself, your idea is the lesson of the former Chaoming, tell us, defense not only wastes national strength, but also tires the three armies. Just ask, the highest fighting spirit on the battlefield always belongs to the attacking side, and no matter how powerful the army is, it will collapse after defending for a long time."

Deng Haonan nodded and no longer insisted. He understands that whether it's offense or defense, there's no reason to judge which is the best.

"That's right" Deng Haonan opened the topic and suddenly asked: "I heard that the military court is going to give Li Yan a summons"

"Yes, the emperor" Wang Zhaoyang nodded and replied: "Li Yan broke two records of the Imperial Army in the Battle of Ismailia, and it is difficult to get a summons."

Deng Haonan smiled and said, "Where are there immortals in the war?" It is reasonable that the cost of battle damage is higher, after all, Li Yan won the battle and is a hero, so it is a little unreasonable to send him a summons."

Wang Zhaoyang smiled faintly and replied, "The Ismailia Fortress was damaged by more than seventy percent, and the repair cost was more than forty million silver dollars. Appropriations need to go through the cabinet and parliament, you know, it's tiring to talk to them about money. If the military tribunal does not ask, the cabinet will certainly not let up its mouth. ”

"That is to grieve Li Yan"

"The summons has been issued"

As soon as Wang Zhaoyang said this, Deng Haonan was inconvenient to interfere again.

Wang Zhaoyang said: "But the emperor can rest assured that Li Yan's merits outweigh his faults, and the military court will intercede for him if he does not routinely interrogate him."

As soon as he mentioned the credit, Deng Haonan suddenly remembered those treasures in Egypt.

"When will the treasures of ancient Egypt be brought back?"

Wang Zhaoyang stepped forward and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, you are already on the way."

Deng Haonan nodded, and said with a wistful face: "Li Zicheng has dug up more than fifty pharaoh tombs, and I don't know what to come up with."

Wang Zhaoyang replied: "According to Weichen's intelligence, Li Zicheng excavated more than two million ancient Egyptian artifacts this time, and the farthest year is more than 4,000 years old. ”

"Really?"

Wang Zhaoyang said with a smile: "Wechen is worried that the emperor's royal museum may not be able to hold these things, so it is better to expand a bigger one."

Deng Haonan was excited, and said: "The Royal Museum is indeed a little smaller, and I am also thinking about this problem."

The Royal Museum is dedicated to the collection of rare treasures and antiques from all over the world. Originally built on the basis of the treasure trove in the Imperial Palace, as the Chinese Empire launched colonial wars around the world, the Chinese Empire plundered countless treasures and antiques from overseas, and more than 10 million pieces were donated to the emperor and the imperial family, all of which are collected in the Royal Museum.

Deng Haonan likes to collect rare treasures and cultural relics and antiques all over the world, which is undoubtedly the greatest wish of a person who has been reborn through time, and can best satisfy his psychology of despising the world.

In Deng Haonan's heart, his collection of treasures from all over the world is undoubtedly showing off to the world, showing off nakedly.

But there are too many treasures in the world, especially the colonists of the Chinese Empire overseas, when they knew that Emperor Shenwu had this hobby, they immediately expanded their search efforts, and tried their best to get out of the hands of the colonial people one by one to cherish the antiques, and then take them back to China to please the emperor.

As a result, the emperor, including his harem concubines, received a large number of rare treasures as offerings and gifts almost every day.

Originally, the Royal Museum was already very large, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters, and three floors high, but now it is full.

Deng Haonan was reminded by Wang Zhaoyang, and immediately began to think about building a super museum as a symbol of showing off the powerful national strength of the Chinese Empire.

"You're right, I should have built a bigger museum."

Wang Zhaoyang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet ministers have proposed to build a royal garden in the western suburbs of the capital as a gift for the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager. Weichen believes that it is better to build a large museum in the garden, so that there will be not only the singing of birds and flowers, but also the jewels to sit in the town, showing the royal majesty"

Deng Haonan nodded in agreement when he heard this, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to come up with a feasible plan.

Hearing that the royal garden was going to be built, the queen and several other imperial concubines immediately became interested, and summoned Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to the palace several times to report the plan.

Because it was dedicated to the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother, Deng Haonan nodded and handed it over to the Queen Mother. He knew that the queen and other imperial concubines had long wanted to build a royal garden, but all along, Deng Haonan always felt that there was something inappropriate about building a royal garden, and he felt that it would make the people of the empire feel that the emperor was starting to have fun and was not diligent in political affairs.

However, since Deng Haonan became emperor, most of his energy has been spent on the governance of the country, and he rarely cares about his concubines. Perhaps out of compensation, Deng Haonan asked the queen and a group of imperial concubines to participate in the construction of the royal garden, just to make them happy.

Deng Haonan was not interested in the royal gardens, except for the Royal Museum, he didn't ask anything, and left it all to the queen and the princesses to decide for themselves.

As a result, Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, had a headache. The queen and the princesses have their own requirements, and they must be satisfied with the construction according to their requirements.

Wen Tiren asked Deng Haonan to decide, but Deng Haonan also didn't want to upset his concubines, so he didn't reply.

It is difficult to reconcile, but it is royal, Wen Tiren did not dare to offend, so he had to meet the requirements of everyone, as a result, the royal garden is getting bigger and bigger, and the final overall design scale reaches 9.3 square kilometers, which will become the largest royal garden in the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries in the world after completion.

The royal garden is large-scale, covering an area of nearly ten square kilometers, mainly composed of five mountains, twelve gardens and three lakes, of which the water surface accounts for one-third. The buildings in the park are centered on Wanshou, Xiangshan, Jingshan, Yuquan and Baiwang Mountain, and surrounded by 12 gardens, including China Garden, Wanqing Garden, Chunyi Garden, Kunming Garden, Huajian Garden, Siyu Garden, Changchun Garden, Yonghe Garden, Duanjing Garden, Qingyi Garden, Yongchun Garden and Shanhai Garden. The three lakes of Xuanwu Lake, Yunyue Lake and Jingming Lake are interspersed between the five mountains and twelve parks.

There are 633 scenic spots in total, more than 300 buildings, 70 large and small courtyards, more than 130,000 square meters of construction area, and more than 9,000 buildings of different forms such as pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, corridors, pavilions, etc. There are more than 8,600 ancient and famous trees.

Among them, the queen and concubine who were born in the south directly moved more than 300 landscapes, such as Suzhou Gardens and Hangzhou West Lake, into the royal gardens after careful modification, and dug Jingming Lake for this purpose.

Since the royal garden has not come up with the overall construction blueprint, Deng Haonan has never known how big this royal garden is, and he just hopes that his concubines will be happy. The ministers of civil and military affairs did not say anything about the construction of gardens by the queen and the princesses. The Chinese Empire has money, and they don't want to offend the emperor's woman because of this. And Wang Chengen, the minister of the household department, is a retainer of the royal family, and he is even very happy to give money to the royal family to repair the garden, and he is even very happy, and everything is given priority. In this way, from the day the construction of the royal garden began, Deng Haonan was shocked by the huge cost when it was completed many years later, but at that time, he could only choose to acquiesce in the face of the pitiful eyes of the concubines.

The royal garden project took four years and cost a total of about 400 million silver dollars. She is the culmination of traditional gardening art, bringing together the essence of gardens from the past to the present in the Chinese Empire. Mountains, rivers, lakes and lakes constitute its basic framework, borrowing the surrounding landscape environment, full of the magnificent and magnificent momentum of China's imperial gardens, and full of natural interest, which highly embodies the gardening principle of "although made by man, it is like opening from heaven". The artificial landscape such as pavilions, corridors, halls, temples and small bridges in the park and the natural mountains and open lakes are harmoniously integrated with each other and artistically, and the whole garden art is conceived ingeniously, which is a masterpiece of Chinese garden architecture art, and has a significant position in the history of Chinese and foreign garden art.
