[Chapter 1]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Lai Youguang originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Taishan sealing Zen and the people's attention to divert their attention, and use his authority to perfectly perform a robbery. However, when the palace guards suddenly appeared in front of him and arrested him, Lai Youguang suddenly realized.

All the officials Lai Youguang bribed and prosecuted were investigated by the Imperial Police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and then transferred to the judiciary for accountability.

Among them, the biggest hero is Weng Qidan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry. It turned out that among the personnel who were infiltrated by the Security Bureau in the Bat Club that year, only Weng Qidan finally entered the core of the Bat Club.

This Weng Qi has been lurking in the Bat Club for more than ten years, and all the undercover agents with him have been exposed and their identities have been eradicated, only he has gained the trust of the Bat Club step by step under the secret operation of the Security Bureau, and has sat in the high position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Works.

Lai Youguang attaches great importance to the co-optation of officials from the Ministry of Industry, because most of the flow of funds in the empire involves the Ministry of Industry. Lai Youguang was extremely short of money, so he used officials of the Ministry of Industry to embezzle or embezzle public funds.

Weng Qishan was in this convenient position, and gradually controlled the list of core members of the Bat Club.

The Imperial Supreme Court approved the arrest of people by the police department on the basis of the list provided by Weng Qishan, but when it was carried out, the police department received special instructions from the emperor to arrest many former officials who had been full of evil and were guilty of crimes.

The people of Jingshi are panicked, but the focus of the empire is not in Jingshi but on Mount Tai. Shenwu Emperor Deng Haonan prayed for the blessing of the people of the empire in Mount Tai, and its scale was huge, involving the nerves of the people of the empire.

Lai Youguang used Mount Tai to divert the attention of the people, and Deng Haonan also used the opportunity of Mount Tai to divert the people's attention and exterminate the Lai Youguang Group.

Both sides are scheming, and the result can only be the well-thought-out man to win.

After the end of Taishan's sealing of Zen, Deng Haonan canceled his southern tour and returned directly to Beijing to personally interrogate the interrogation of Lai Youguang Group.

At this time, the focus of the empire also shifted back with the emperor's sudden return to Beijing.

The matter of Lai Youguang Group was quickly exposed, and the whole empire was shocked. The Security Bureau used public opinion to create news that the former DPRK officials had ill intentions and intended to rebel, and as a result, everyone in the former DPRK was panicked.

The emperor also had an excuse to settle old scores, and the Imperial Supreme Court began to accept various cases in the former Ming Dynasty, and many former officials who committed serious crimes were prosecuted.

In order to further strengthen the laws of the Chinese Empire and enhance the image of the imperial family and the country, the Supreme Procuratorate of the Empire severely punished the members of the Lai Youguang group, among which Lai Youguang was convicted of 43 crimes, of which the highest crime was treason, and he was sentenced to death by hanging. More than 200 other core members and more than 3,000 subordinates were sentenced to death, and more than 30,000 slaves under the control of the Bat Society were also executed.

All the property of the Lai Youguang group was confiscated, including 35 officials, 73 large businessmen, large farm owners, and other members' property, accumulating about 130 million silver dollars, and all this money was used to compensate for the loss of the state.

There are also more than 3,000 former officials of the former dynasty who have been affected, and they have not participated in the affairs of the Lai Youguang group, but Deng Haonan is ready to make an example of the monkey and take the opportunity to purge the dynasty.

In all dynasties, the emperors at the time of the founding of the country would always implement imperial power tricks on meritorious heroes in order to strengthen the imperial power and maintain their rule. Although Deng Haonan did not kill the heroes, a large number of officials left behind by the former Ming Dynasty always had hidden dangers to the political situation of the Chinese Empire. The Lai Youguang incident made Deng Haonan understand that the hearts of the people were separated from their stomachs, and they eliminated a Lai Youguang, and I don't know if there are any such people, so he just took the opportunity to test and deter the loyalty of the officials of the empire.

Eventually, seventy-three officials were exiled for committing heinous crimes during the pre-Ming dynasty, more than 1,000 officials were suspended from their posts and fined different amounts, and the remaining 1,400 or so officials were ordered to compensate the victims privately to avoid prosecution by the courts.

For the emperor to turn over old accounts, these officials are naturally very dissatisfied in their hearts. However, due to the role of public opinion, their anger shifted to hatred of the Lai Youguang group, if it weren't for Lai Youguang's ill intentions and provoking the emperor, they would not have been implicated.

Of course, there are also some old fritters who know that this is the emperor's intention, but now the Chinese Empire has passed the safe period, and the emperor's rule has stabilized. They had no bargaining chips to compete with the emperor, so they had to swallow their anger and consider themselves unlucky.

This political turmoil* was the largest since the founding of the Chinese Empire. After this political turmoil, the political power of the Chinese Empire was completely stabilized, and all internal instability factors were removed. The people's grievances against the previous dynasties and Ming dynasties were basically settled, thus resolving the social contradictions left over from the corruption of the Chinese empire over the former dynasties.

Emperor Deng Haonan of Shenwu once again gained high national prestige support from this political turmoil, laying a solid foundation of public opinion for the subsequent rule of the imperial family.

After the Chinese Empire became militarily strong and economically strong, the government was further clarified, and the political system of constitutional monarchy and separation of powers, which combined the essence of the East and the West, was further improved, and the people gave considerable support and affirmation to this new comprehensive political system.

Internationally, the Chinese Empire, as a superpower, was imitated by other countries in the world for its political system. However, the Chinese Empire did not want other countries to follow the capitalist path as well, and should delay it for at least one or two hundred years or more to ensure the Chinese Empire's global hegemony.

With the end of the First Anglo-Dutch War, the United Provinces of the Netherlands, which had just ascended to the throne of a European power, was severely damaged by the British and Chinese empires.

However, the main forces of the Dutch Navy did not suffer any losses. The Dutch navy lost the war against Britain due to the failure of strategic deployment in the First Anglo-Dutch War, and the support of the Chinese Empire, which caused the Netherlands heavy losses.

However, it was precisely because of the First Anglo-Dutch War that there was a rift in the world's strongest military alliance, the Allied bloc, and the French and Russian Empires were dissatisfied with the Chinese Empire's performance in the war against the Ottoman Turks, coupled with the Chinese Empire's blatant interference in European affairs, and Britain became the pawn of the Chinese Empire, which made France, the first army power in Europe, feel a huge sense of crisis.

At the Paris Peace Conference, a rift arose between France and Russia on the Netherlands and the Chinese Empire on the other. The Netherlands took advantage of this rift and actively united with his traditional ally, Sweden, to lobby the French government.

The French cardinal and the French prime minister had the same position on the question of the Chinese Empire, so when the Netherlands and Sweden negotiated with France on the premise that Europeans would govern Europe, they received the support of the French people and formed an alliance with France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden to jointly deal with the Chinese Empire's interference in European affairs. The Chinese Empire was not surprised by the alliance of these four powers, but in order to deal with them, the Chinese Empire called them the Baltic Alliance.

Subsequently, the Spanish Empire, the archenemy of the Chinese Empire, joined the Holy Roman Empire and joined the Baltic Alliance, and the prototype of the European Union, led by France and Spain, was born. The pan-European Union was advertised externally, and the Chinese Empire called it the European Union.

However, the birth of the European Union was not purely against the Chinese empire. France did not give up its rights as an Allied power, and still did not dare to openly oppose the Chinese Empire. Therefore, after the birth of the European Union, in addition to the political confrontation with the Chinese empire, it was very low-key militarily and economically.

After France formed a new political bloc with Spain and other countries, the Allies often quarreled over EU issues when the Allies met. Over time, the Russian Empire became more and more lonely.

As the Chinese Empire launched a series of military campaigns in the Indian subcontinent, the states of the Western Regions gradually began to come under the full political, economic, military, and cultural influence of the Chinese Empire. Economically, in particular, textiles from the Mughal colonies of the Chinese Empire were extremely cheap and filled the streets and alleys of the Western Regions. The economies of the countries, which were previously influenced by Persia and Afghanistan, have now been replaced by the Chinese Empire.

Militarily, the Chinese Empire gathered the member states of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to launch colonial wars against Persia and Afghanistan, and the battlefield situation can be said to be victorious. The Chinese Empire's control over the Indian subcontinent was further strengthened, and the Western Regions began to fully turn to the Chinese Empire.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Shenwu, with the princess Natasha of the Kazakh Rus' Kingdom marrying Beijing, the countries of the Western Regions began to marry the Chinese Empire.

This suddenly broke the original balance of power in the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions began to have secret contacts with the Chinese Empire, which made the Russian Empire very frightened.

The Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire were both high-latitude countries in the northern hemisphere, and the Western Regions were originally separated, and the Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire had no substantive conflict of interests. For this reason, the two sides reached an agreement not to ask about the affairs of the countries in the Western Regions and avoid contradictions between the two countries.

However, with the improvement of the national strength of the Chinese Empire, as a superpower in the world today, the Chinese Empire has surpassed the Russian Empire in all aspects, whether political, economic or military.

The main reason why the Chinese Empire did not intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions was because it did not want to provoke Russia and lead the Russian war to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Now, with the large-scale use of oil by the Chinese Empire and the military, the Chinese Empire has a great interest in the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf region, and therefore for economic and military purposes, the Chinese Empire has begun to intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions.

The Russian Empire protested many times against the fact that the Chinese Emperor Nakhazak Rus Kingdom Princess was a concubine, but the Imperial Court of China and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always denied that the Chinese Empire was interfering in the affairs of the Western Regions, and in response to the inquiries of the Western Regions, the press conference of the Chinese Empire neither admitted nor denied it, which was a tacit acquiescence in the eyes of the Russian Empire.

The Chinese Empire intervened in the affairs of the Western Regions, and the Russian Empire naturally opposed it, so the contradictions between the two sides also appeared.

However, the war between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire was protracted and could not be reconciled, so the Russian Empire did not dare to excessively provoke the Chinese Empire, but only tried to delay the pace of the Chinese Empire's control of the Western Regions.

In order to find new allies, the Russian Empire began to move closer to France, and in the seventeenth year of Shenwu, the European Union joined the European Union, making the European Union even stronger. V
