A year later, even if the two sides did not fight each other and maintained it well, the people could even exchange and buy and sell with each other, which looked very peaceful.

But the battle for reunification finally began.

Because since the first great unification of the world, the great unification has always been a symbol of the integrity of the country, if you can't achieve the great unification, it will definitely be quite a shameful thing, not to mention that the world is still falling apart during the reign of Emperor Yuan He, even if he was just a puppet at that time, then he is still the master of the country, the emperor.

Therefore, if he cannot regain his original territory, then what face will he have to face his fathers and fathers, and to his own descendants?

Although Zhang Dou has no such concerns.

But in order to survive, and in order to fulfill his wishes and goals, he must also persevere.

Therefore there must be a war between the two sides.

Either you live or die.

Or a stalemate with each other.

However, Emperor Yuan He undoubtedly overestimated his ability, even if he had asked the secret agents to find a way to get some secret recipes for firearms, but the highest technology was still in the hands of Zhang Dou and them, so the firearms they made were far inferior to Zhang Dou's firearms, neither in terms of quality nor efficiency, and the rout was obvious.

Although Zhang Dou's battle losses were higher than before.

But in the end, the victory was maintained.

And it's progressing steadily and slowly.

Begin to move south and east from the northwest.

The more he advanced on his side, the more unstable the court of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Yuan became, and the more fierce the battle between the main battle faction and the main peace faction became, complaining to each other.

Passing the buck to each other.

Although Emperor Yuanhe regained most of the lost land last year is a great credit, but he just picked up a bargain, not that he really swept the world with martial virtues, so he can't do it above the court, and he still has to rely on the support of some officials, and if it wasn't for the support of these officials, he wouldn't have been able to quickly recover the lost land.

Therefore, at this time, he was helpless in the face of the problems in the court, and even sometimes had to be scolded by some officials who were in charge of peace, and those officials felt that if Emperor Yuanhe insisted on sending troops, then maybe they could still maintain relative peace on both sides.

It won't get to this situation.

It will not be impossible to divide the river and rule the river.

However, no matter how they fought among themselves, Zhang Dou could not stop there, so when Zhang Dou was about to defeat half of the country, the main battle faction and the main peace faction in the court finally determined Zhang Dou's determination to dominate the world, and began to shake hands and make peace, and joined forces to fight against Zhang Dou.

But it was too late.

Zhang Dou's tax policy and land policy in the northwest region had already spread gradually with his army moving south, and had taken root in the hearts of some small people, especially Zhang Dou's policy of distributing land to the landless people for cultivation, only collecting 40% of the land rent, and the land would be owned by the tenant after ten years.

It is even more heartwarming for the people who have no land and less land.

Although the degree of excitement was not enough for them to directly rebel to welcome Zhang Dou, it was enough for them to rebel and welcome without hesitation when Zhang Dou attacked them.

This is not to welcome the king.

In fact, it is just an inducement of interests.

However, what is more motivating and exciting in this world than interests.

The so-called change of dynasty is nothing more than to redistribute the benefits obtained by the original vested interests, and let those who could not survive before live live again, so as to achieve a balance.

Reincarnation goes on and on, again and again.

Divide the land, and all are rich.

Is it righteousness that is shouted?

No.

It's just to gather people faster.

Delivering eggs to the pharmacy is a routine.

It's just that what they're sending is worth more.

It makes all ordinary people feel excited.

This is the same as the fact that the capitalists trample on all the moral laws of the world for the sake of triple profits, because human nature is always similar and identical.

With the support of this part of the people, Zhang Dou's actions are naturally like a tiger's wings, and every time he attacks a region, he will implement his policies in the northwest very truthfully, and divide the land to some people who have little land and no land.

It's all about making the people believe.

They are honest.

They can do what they say.

From then on, Zhang Dou's army marched faster and faster, so fast that sometimes when they arrived at the gate of a city, they didn't need to attack, and some people in the city rushed to open the city gate and let them in.

The city is open to welcome the king, and the virtuous people are the holy kings.

Emperor Yuan and Emperor they were forced to helpless, at this time they had moved the capital to the south, moved the capital to the Jiangnan region, and sent people to sue for peace, but Emperor Yuan and Emperor He wanted great unification, and Zhang Dou didn't want great unification, so how could he refuse the meat that was about to come to his mouth, and let the meat go.

So, of course, it is useless to sum.

The sum only brought Zhang Dou further advances, flanking attacks from all sides and an all-out attack.

When Zhang Dou and the others led a large army to completely surround the capital, Emperor Yuan He in the capital finally despaired, and hurriedly sent eunuchs out to express their willingness to surrender, only hoping to save the life of one of his children and prevent him from breaking off this line.

"Rest assured, our army never tortures and kills prisoners.

As long as I am willing to surrender, I will protect my whole family from harm, and even make him an idle king.

Go back and tell him the truth.

If you want, open the palace gates. ”

Zhang Dou didn't intend to completely exterminate the royal family of the previous dynasty, so naturally it didn't matter.

At most, he will arrest all the members of the royal family of the previous dynasty first, try them one by one, convict those who are guilty, and let them go if they are not guilty.

After Emperor Yuanhe in the palace received the news of the eunuch's return, although he didn't know whether to believe Zhang Dou or not, he also knew very well that it was useless whether he believed it or not, and his life and death were destined to be out of his control, unless he chose to commit suicide now, but since there was a possibility of living, of course he was not willing to commit suicide by self-immolation.

So hesitated for a moment.

In the end, you can only gamble.

Let people go out and open the palace gates.

Put Zhang Beans and they come in.

Zhang Dou and the others also kept their promises, and after entering, Qiu did not commit any crimes, but only arrested and executed some notorious eunuchs and a few members of the royal family, and as for the rest, they did not move.

He even temporarily crowned Yuan He Emperor as the king of Li.

He was placed in a nearby royal palace.

Subsequently, Zhang Dou and his party began to officially carry out the finishing work nationwide.

And ascended the throne on the day of the dragon's rise the following year.

The country name is Zhang, and the year name is Taoyuan.

Zhang Dou is the Emperor of Taoyuan.
