Chapter 730: Unification

PS: The first update is here, I wish book friends a Merry Christmas!

In 1644, the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan under the guidance of Wu Sangui and captured Jingshi. In the following years, the Qing army successively destroyed the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, unified the whole of China, and established a unified central government. By 1847, it had been two hundred and three years. Now, the imperial army has recaptured Jingshi in one fell swoop, capturing the Manchu emperor, regent and a group of Manchu high-ranking officials, which means that the Manchu is completely destroyed. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which ruled the land of Shenzhou for two hundred and three years, withdrew from the stage of history.

After the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Qing Army was solved by the Imperial Cavalry, the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of banner people also chose to surrender to the Empire under the slogan of surrendering the Imperial Army and avoiding death. They looked at the mighty Imperial cavalry with horror on their faces, not knowing what fate they would face next. The Manchus perished, and they were no longer the ruling class.

"Haha, General Monk, now the emperor and regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and a cadre of military ministers have fallen into our hands, and I sigh to the emperor and the general staff to report the good news!" Major General Qiao Moyan, deputy commander of the Imperial Cavalry and commander of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, looked excited. Since the empire conquered Guangdong, the soldiers of the empire have been thinking about when they will be able to overthrow the Manchu Qing and unify the whole country. After several years of fighting, they finally did it. Moreover, this credit also fell first to their newly formed cavalry unit.

"Hmmm! Let the communications corps send a telegram to His Majesty and the General Staff! Monk Grinqin said. Now he can be said to have a lot of emotion. Once. He was still a general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but in a blink of an eye, he led the imperial army to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Albeit. This is another suspicion of rebellion, but Seng Lingqin does not regret it. After joining the Empire* army, he discovered that the Empire had a better future than the Manchus in every way. Only the empire can give the broad masses of the people the life they want. Only then will the entire Chinese nation not be humiliated by the great powers.

What's more, Emperor Long Yufei promised that all nationalities would coexist on an equal footing, now. A large number of Mongols had already joined the imperial cavalry. Four cavalry corps will be formed in the future, of which at least 60,000 Mongols will be recruited. This undoubtedly shows that the promise of Emperor Long Yufei has been fulfilled. Unlike the Manchu emperors, who tried to restrain the Mongols, the emperor was undoubtedly much more generous. Of course. Monk Grinqin now knows. With the strength of the empire, even if the Mongols wanted to have any ideas, it would not be possible. The great army of the empire was strong enough to guarantee the unity of the country. In the eyes of Seng Lingqin, the Manchus were undoubtedly powerful. But in just a few years, didn't the Manchu Qing collapse under the blow of the empire?

"Give orders to the Khans of the Mongol tribes to retreat to their respective tribes. Prepare for the Imperial army to enter the steppes. In addition, these banner people and ordinary people will be escorted back to Beijing. "Monk Grinqin gave a new order. After the Manchu Qing was settled, it did not mean the end of the war. In fact, the war has only just begun. The Manchus were nothing more than an enemy of the empire. And it's still the enemy who is not strong. There are bigger and more vicious enemies waiting for the empire to defeat. Next, the empire's armies would enter the Mongolian steppes, then cross the steppes all the way into Russian-controlled Eastern Siberia, and burn the flames of war to the Russians. As for what to do with these surrendered banner people, this is not something he can decide. A qiē has to wait until the will of the Emperor Xià.

"Yes, General!" The herald immediately conveyed the order of Major General Monk Lingqin.

One hundred thousand Mongol cavalry, led by the Khans, withdrew from the battlefield and they were to return to their tribes as best they could. The empire promised that the cavalry that would be formed in the future would be recruited from various tribes one after another. In addition, after the Imperial Army entered Eastern Siberia to fight, the Mongol ministries had to fulfill the task of protecting the logistical supply lines of the Imperial Army. After all, the Mongolian steppe is thousands of miles wide, and it is not so easy to cross it. The imperial army marched north to fight, and undoubtedly needed the support of these Mongols.

100,000 Mongol cavalry took part in this battle, and the losses were as many as several thousand. However, they also gained a lot in this battle. While cleaning up the battlefields of the Russian Cossack cavalry, they also gained a lot of loot. This made all the tribes involved in the war reap a lot of benefits. Now that the Manchus have fallen and the empire has become the true ruler of China, is there any other way for them to follow in the footsteps of the empire?

On March 23, 1847, Emperor Long Yufei was a little restless. According to information from the General Staff, just today, the imperial army, which had already been prepared, would launch a final attack on the main force of the fleeing Qing army. Although, Long Yufei is convinced of victory. However, he was never able to put his mind at ease until the final result was determined.

"It's been 12 years since I crossed into this world. 12 years of hard work have finally not been in vain. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is over, and the country is about to be unified. Next, it is time for the vast number of people of the empire to live happily. Long Yufei said secretly. In the years of the Empire's existence, war has been the main theme. However, every war must be fought. Through the wars, the empire also thrived in the wars. Without the victory of these wars, there would be no current victory of the Empire.

Next, the main energy of the empire will be devoted to the development of the country. Of course, foreign wars will not stop either. The war that the empire is waging with Russia, and the war that it will soon be waging against the United States, is a war that must be fought, and this is directly related to the future of the empire. In addition, the reconstruction of the northern part of the empire required a large amount of construction funds. In addition to the empire's own collection, some of this money had to be channeled through guò other ways. And what better way to do that than by plundering the outside world? Didn't the industrialization of the Western powers depend on the plundering of other backward colonies? Now that the world's major colonies have been almost divided, the only way for China to gain more territory is to grab other powers. Russia, which is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, as well as the emerging United States, will be the targets of imperial robbery!

"Your Majesty, the front line is urgent!" Major General Li Hu, the chief of the guard, walked into Long Yufei's study with an excited face.

"How's it going? Did we win? Long Yufei immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, we won. More than 30,000 Russian Cossack cavalry were killed. The vast majority of the two cavalry corps of the Qing army chose to surrender, and the rest of the diehards were also eliminated. Hundreds of thousands of bannermen have surrendered to us. In addition, the little emperor Xianfeng Emperor and the regent Aixin Jueluo who fled from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Mianyu, Chief Military Aircraft Minister Wen Qing and Military Aircraft Minister Mu Zhang'a and others were all caught by us. Now, General Seng Lingqin is escorting those banner people back to Beijing! Major General Li Hu, the chief of the guard, said. He knew that overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and unifying the whole country had always been Long Yufei's goal, and for this, they had been fighting for twelve years. Well, now, that goal has finally been achieved.

"Haha, yes, that's great! The Manchus have finally perished! Long Yufei couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Just a few minutes later, the Imperial Military and Political Ministers who had received the news all rushed to the palace to report the good news to Emperor Long Yufei.

"Congratulations, congratulations! The empire is finally united! "Everyone was beaming. In the beginning, who would have thought that a small country founded by a group of pirates in the South Seas would be able to get to where it is today? In just 12 years, under the leadership of Long Yufei, they really did it. There seems to be no more adjective to describe it than to describe it as a miracle.

"Haha, it's all everyone's work!" Long Yufei said with a smile. After the overthrow of the Manchus, the empire finally eliminated a great enemy. Next, the empire became the only legitimate power in China, able to lead almost 400 million people to work together to build the country better.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Manchu emperor, the regent, and the Manchu ministers?" Prime Minister Li Decheng asked. After all, these people are now under the control of the imperial army, and what to do with them depends on the will of the emperor Long Yufei!

"What do you think?" Long Yufei asked.

"Your Majesty, it's better to solve them all, it's a hundred. I think how many compatriots died under their swords when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs! Chief of Staff Admiral Niu Meng said directly.

This is the opinion of many military generals, those banner people, who have always survived on hardcore crops, do not produce, and have completely become parasites.

"Your Majesty, now that the empire has been unified, it is not appropriate to kill any more. Isn't it often said that all nationalities should be equal? As long as those banner men don't give us trouble, what if they give them a way out? Prime Minister Li Decheng said. His views undoubtedly represent those of the government. They are undoubtedly much more merciful than the military.

Long Yufei's brows furrowed, and after a while, he said, "The little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, put him under house arrest." And that regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu is also under house arrest. Other high-ranking Manchu officials also sent people to monitor them. In addition, the wealth of the princes, nobles and high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was confiscated. They have made a mess of the north, and they have scraped so much people's fat and people's ointment, it's time to spit it out! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Long Yufei made a decision, and the others could only abide by it. Long Yufei's personal will already represents the will of the entire empire. (To be continued......)
