Chapter 797: The Eternal Empire

"Obey the Order......"

This group of high-ranking prisoners of war were arranged in better camps, and those ordinary soldiers who were captured also received very good treatment. Whether it is in terms of food or rest, it is no different from our soldiers.

A large number of instructors began to be stationed in the prisoner of war camps, and began to talk to these soldiers about the great chauvinism and nationalism of the Chinese Empire. In short, it is necessary to let these Xia soldiers as soon as possible to recognize and recognize that they are actually members of the Chinese nation.

On the first day, just like that, Wang Shichong did not give his subordinates an answer, but the actions of his subordinates had already faintly given hints. That is, the ministers of civil and military affairs who voted one after another began to communicate in private, and for such behavior, even Wang Shiyun turned a blind eye.

These leaders have no desire to fight, not to mention the soldiers below who have been temporarily conscripted, deserters have begun to appear, and some soldiers have taken the opportunity to go out at night to steal food, and they have run directly to the gate of our camp and raised the white flag.

Then after eating and drinking, after changing the stinky and rancid cloth and paper armor on his body, he began to pick up the loudspeaker and persuade his comrades-in-arms to join the ranks of the blessed army with food and drink.

Finally, late at night the next day, the envoy who came on behalf of Wang Shiyun entered the northern camp of our Chinese Empire's besieging army. It is not so much Wang Shiyun's envoy as it is directly Wang Shichong's tacit envoy.

I hope that our Chinese Empire can withdraw its troops, and Zheng Guo is willing to pay tribute to our Chinese Empire every year. For their conditions, this son directly regarded it as a fart, and I was very happy to tell the envoy. Unconditional surrender is their choice, and there are no conditions to talk about.

Of course, Ben Gongzi is not a cruel and murderous person, as long as they are willing to submit, Ben Gongzi will deal with it as appropriate.

This kind of secret talk lasted for two days, and of course this prince would not sit and expect Wang Shichong to obediently tie himself out of the city, in addition to talking nonsense with the secret envoy, he also quietly ordered Liu Hongji to do it.

In the early morning of the next day, under a wall outside the Luoyang Imperial City, the corpse of Liu Fu, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was found, and more than a dozen of his guards were all there. A message was also written on the imperial city wall. Speaking of this guy's disregard for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians outside Luoyang City, and supporting Wang Shichong to die rather than surrender, such an act has angered the vast number of Luoyang soldiers and civilians.

In addition, he also reminded that there are those who dare to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luoyang at risk and insist on not surrendering, please be careful of the anger of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City, which will be poured out on his head at any time.

At this moment, the die-hard vote around Wang Shichong also became uncertain, even if a large number of people were dispatched, they didn't catch a murderer, and the eyes of the common people and those temporarily recruited soldiers made the hearts of these stubborn guys who wanted to resist also change.

Finally, on the fifth day of Dou Jiande being escorted to Luoyang City, the north gate of Luoyang City slowly opened, and Wang Shichong, who was dressed in plain white linen, held a seal ribbon representing Zheng Guo's Jiangshan Sheji with a withered face, and knelt down on the north side of the suspension bridge.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Empire raised their swords, guns, swords and halberds in unison, and let out cheers and roars towards the clear sky that was rarely seen in winter.

The voice of the victory of the Chinese Empire is between heaven and earth, watching the flag of King Zheng on the tall and majestic Luoyang City fall like a falling smoke cloud, and the national flag of my Chinese Empire is rising, under the scorching sun, it seems to be more dazzling.

Those soldiers of Zheng who handed over their weapons, not only were not depressed, but relieved and smiling, and Wang Shichong, who had been escorted into a trapped car, stared at the flag of the Chinese Empire fluttering on the head of Luoyang City, and he didn't know what he was muttering, or he was praying for his own future.

Those who were escorted down, in addition to Wang Shichong and his son, also Wang Shiyun and his son, as well as a lackey who committed a crime. And Liu Hongji, this goods, finally walked up to me in a bright light and bowed deeply to me. "Minister Liu Hongji, participate in my emperor."

In the shocked eyes of the ministers of Zheng Guo who had just returned to obedience, Ben Gongzi stepped forward quickly, supported Liu Hongji, who was about to bow down, and said angrily. "Brother Tai must not be like this, this time China can be unified, my Chinese empire can pay a very small price, and take Zheng Guo, brother should be the first merit......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence. The ministers and their colleagues were all forced by Wang Shichong, if it weren't for this, they would have opened the city and surrendered to His Majesty. After Liu Hongji squeezed his eyes at me, the fake horse ghost day saluted again and said loudly.

Those ministers who had just returned didn't understand what he meant, and bowed down one after another, expressing their admiration to this son, and of course they all condemned Wang Shichong's despicable and shameless coercive behavior.

Ben Gongzi listened with a smile and listened to it, after pacifying these people, the army of our Chinese Empire has already entered Luoyang and taken over the city defense.

When he left Luoyang, he was still an ignorant teenager, but now he has returned to Luoyang, but he has changed the dynasty and has both children and daughters. Seeing those who happily received bags of grain from the soldiers of the Chinese Empire, they rushed home with their wives and children.

Those soldiers who had already put down their swords and guns also carried the food, with a face of happiness for the rest of their lives and a sense of happiness and anticipation that they were about to be able to eat a full meal, and walked towards their respective homes.

"A total of 30,000 prisoners of war have been held by us for the time being. The other soldiers who were temporarily conscripted had already been given a big vacation by us, and after being given food and some pay, they went home first. Fang Xuanling flipped through the information in his hand with his fingers. The mood of the common people is good, and our army is strictly disciplined, so the eyes in Luoyang City seem to be very stable. ”

"Public order is the top priority, and more garrison troops will be sent to patrol the city to strictly prevent all acts that disrupt harmony and tranquility without disturbing the lives of ordinary people." I nodded, and then solemnly instructed.

In the following days, not only did he deal with the aftermath of Luoyang, but Dou Jiande's capture and surrender brought a great shock to the land of Hebei and Shandong. After the defeat, most of the hundreds of thousands of Xia troops fled, and only the left servant Qi Shanxing led hundreds of elites to protect Dou Jiande's wife Cao Shi and fled back to Luozhou.

After that, the rest of Dou Jiande wanted to establish Dou Jiande's adopted son as the monarch, but before he could do so, or when he was still hesitating and arguing, several of Dou Jiande's henchmen who were repatriated returned to Hebei.

The news they brought, as well as the conditions I gave, made the left servant who is currently in charge of the house to shoot Qi Qi's good deeds and quickly call it a halt. After consulting with Dou Jiande's wife, Cao, it was decided to distribute the inventory of belongings to the soldiers and dismiss them.

Hearing that Dou Jiande was only captured, but not mistreated, and also sent back several Dou Jiande's henchmen, Qi Shanxing and Dou Jiande's right servant Pei Ju, Xingtai Cao Dan and Dou Jiande's wife led the officials and subordinates of the Xia State to dedicate the land of Shandong, handed over the eight seals of the Xia State and surrendered to the Tang Huaxia Empire.

At this point, the Chinese Empire has been unified except for the northern part of Shanxi. And a large number of troops of the Chinese Empire began to march towards Shanxi, with a posture of overwhelming people, so frightened that Li Mi almost went insane, and prayed bitterly to Jieli Khan.

I hope to bring at least three or five hundred thousand troops to help, otherwise, with the one hundred or so thousand troops that he has temporarily put together, he is not at all the opponent of the more than 200,000 elite divisions of the Chinese Empire.

And Jieli Khan was also very embarrassed, the elite combat effectiveness of the Chinese Empire, he had already learned it fiercely when he attacked Hetao and the northern region of Shanxi last time. And now, Dou Jiande was captured because of his aid to Wang Shichong, so that all the lands of Shandong and Hebei fell into the Chinese Empire, which he did not expect.

Dou Jiande, a very powerful prince of the Central Plains, but he wanted to support the important force with all his might, but suddenly disappeared, and now, Li Mi, who occupies the north of Shanxi, is not only much worse in strength, but also located in the north of Shanxi, high mountains and deep Lei, the terrain is difficult for the Turkic cavalry to deploy, and more importantly, it is close to the hinterland of the Chinese Empire.

If you want to counterattack, it is tantamount to directly facing a powerful Central Plains Empire that has almost completely become strong, which is the last thing any nomadic leader wants to see.

Now Tuyuhun, whether it is Murong Daxi or Murong Fuyun, has now become a lose-lose situation, Morong Daxi has accepted the appointment of my Chinese Empire and became the governor of East Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun has been forced to cede thousands of miles of land after asking for peace many times, and now, he has retreated to the southwest of Qinghai.

And this large area of fertile grassland is all owned by our Chinese Empire. Here, more than 100,000 fine horses can be provided for the Chinese Empire every year, and if the Hetao area is added, the Chinese Empire now has two large vast grasslands.

And in the small set of the Hetao, a water raises Dawan horses, that is, sweat and blood BMWs. And those valleys in Hancheng today are all continuing to cultivate Hancheng giant horses. As for the area around East Tuyuhun, Persian horses are raised.

After the extensive use of steam machinery, the importance of animal power has dropped by a level compared with the past, and now, there have been professional breeding carnivorous cattle, of course, the price of beef is still relatively high, and the slaughter also needs to be determined by the government to be beef cattle can be slaughtered, the audit is very strict, so if you want to steal cattle to slaughter, it is not a light crime.

At present, we can form a cavalry force of more than 250,000 at any time, and we can also form a pure firearms unit of two corps, and as for artillery, it has been equipped with divisional units. The terrifying power of the cannon fire, which had fallen like the flames of hell before even the enemy could see it, was the most feared by the Khan.

It's a pity that my dignified emperor of the Chinese Empire can't come to the battlefield in person, but it's nothing, after all, the current Chinese Empire is so powerful that it doesn't need any royal conquest at all, and any kind of enemy can be completely eliminated.

The sky was so blue, and the blue water in the city was flowing slowly to the east. On the surface of the Luoshui water, a series of beautifully shaped ships are carrying tourists, pointing to both sides of the riverbank. And a beautiful and tall bridge is even more amazing to everyone.

It is an arch bridge with a span of more than one hundred and fifty meters and a height of more than twelve meters above the river. The bridge deck is wide enough to accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages side by side. In addition, there is also one such cement arch bridge on the east and west sides of Luoyang City.

Today's Luoyang, three months have passed since Wang Shichong's surrender, and today's Luoyang City has already resumed its hustle. Countless people shuttle back and forth, and a large number of goods come and go between Luoyang and Chang'an.

With the help of the canal's water transportation, the goods from the south to the north have made Luoyang prosperous rapidly. Compared to the withering a few months ago, they are simply two extremes.

The land of Hebei and Shandong has belonged to the rule of our Chinese Empire, and Dou Jiande was even sent by me to appease the people of these two places, of course, he was accompanied by the elite of the Chinese Empire with two armies, as well as a large number of working groups and reserve officials.

In just three months, Shandong and Hebei have been restored to peace, and many civil and military ministers under Dou Jiande have been hired by the court, whether it is Pei Ju, or Liu Heimin, or Su Dingfang, more than thirty courtiers of the Xia State, and have become a member of the cornerstone of the Chinese Empire.

In another time and space, after Li Yuan slaughtered Dou Jiande, he provoked the anger of the remaining ministers of the Xia Kingdom, and once again rebelled, and made trouble for many years, and the people did not know how much suffering they had suffered.

And I naturally learned this lesson丨Therefore, the land of Shandong and Hebei can be peaceful in the shortest time.

Nowadays, the Chinese Empire can be said to be singing and dancing, no, it should be said that it is thriving. Today, the total population of the Chinese Empire is about 27 million, and compared with the Sui Dynasty in its heyday, at least 156 million people have disappeared into the whirlpool of war.

This is also because the Chinese Empire occupies a large amount of territory, so that these territories have not been affected by too many wars. However, there is another reason that the major task of clarifying the population is an extremely important task here in the Chinese Empire, and it is very strict, so the number of people who have been clarified from those families alone has reached millions.

This is also the reason why after the war, the population of the newly established court was drastically reduced. Because those eternal family lords often take advantage of such opportunities to harvest a large number of land and tenants. However, because of the strict implementation of the state's population policy, it is extremely difficult for these family lords to fight with the court as in the past.

In addition, the guidance of public opinion makes it difficult for them to collude with local officials to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and since the establishment of the Chinese Empire in Guanzhong, more than 1,000 officials have been punished. There are countless officials, and the strict implementation has made fewer and fewer officials who want to collude with officials and businessmen or make deals with the gate valve family.

Although it cannot be completely eradicated, it greatly suppresses the occurrence of this phenomenon.

Luoyang has become the central capital of the Chinese Empire, and Chang'an has become the western capital of the Chinese Empire.

As for the southern capital, it will be established on the island of Luzon, and these words aroused the screams of one or two military generals, and they were eager to lead the army in person and clean up all the surrounding areas of these territories with their teeth.

is so proud, don't you excite those veteran ruffians now?

"What's wrong with my husband? I've been looking outside for so long, haven't you seen enough? A voice as warm as jade sounded from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Qingxia's radiant face.

"The rivers and mountains are beautiful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can you see enough of such a prosperous scene?" I grabbed her hand with a smile, and Sister Qingxia was soft in my arms, and I couldn't help but smile when I heard this. "My husband's ability to boast about himself is very good."

"Being a husband is just telling the truth, in the history of my China, how can any dynasty be as prosperous as today's China?" Ben Gongzi snorted proudly and said proudly.

"It's true, these are all your merits, husband." Sister Qingxia chuckled, moved my hand holding her plump buttocks, and placed it on her lower abdomen

"Of course, alas, I said Qingxia, I hope that you will have another daughter for your husband, so that the eldest girl and the second girl can have more companions."

"Is a boy bad?" Sister Qingxia pursed her lips and looked at me with a little crying and laughing. "As long as you like your daughter, your son doesn't seem to be treated by you."

"Haven't you heard a word? The daughter is the little padded jacket of her parents, she knows the warmth and cold, and it will hurt people, which is a stupid person like Tiedan, my son twisted his foot a few days ago, this stupid boy can't even say anything about concern, and he is so angry that his husband is about to have a stomachache. ”

"Husband, husband, come and see, fireworks are going on over there." When he was complaining to Sister Qingxia, he heard a call from the cabin next door.

"Come on, come on, we'll come." After I said yes loudly, I gently carried Qingxia, who was already pregnant with her third child, and walked towards the other cabin

There, the Yaoguang girl was like a child, looking at the spit colorful fireworks with the two girls, and let out a burst of exclamations.

In the distance, there was a crowd of people, and I didn't know which one was welcoming the relatives.

The choking smell of fireworks wafted over, and the mother who was also watching the excitement here couldn't help coughing, and I quickly beat my mother's back. "Damn fireworks, I knew that they should have been banned, and now the two ends of Luoyang City are full of this smell in three days, are you better?"

"It's okay, don't talk nonsense, what is forbidden, it's really going to be banned, be careful that the people poke your backbone. Hehe, Shiro, my mother thought about it, and thought that it was better not to go to Jiaozhi first, let's live in Luoyang for a while, right? My mother likes this kind of festivity, and she just returned to Luoyang, where she has lived for more than ten years, and she is really reluctant to leave. ”

"Cheng, then wait for autumn, let's go again, anyway, it's very close to go there now. The train is more than a day's work. Looking at my mother's white sideburns, I nodded vigorously and smiled.

"Grandma, grandma. That hairy-bearded big bad uncle is here again......" At this moment, the big girl pointed out of the boat and shouted loudly towards us.

I turned my head, damn, not only Liu Hongji, the big villain who often my daughter with a beard, but also a large number of former friends who are all hippie smiling and carrying delicious wine and food, coming over here.

At the end of the autumn of the seventh year of the founding of the Chinese Empire, Wei Yunqi was the commander-in-chief, and Xu Shiji, Han Shige, Su Dingfang and others were generals. Dispatched 210,000 troops, out of the Hetao, went straight to Dingxiangcheng, and broke 17 Turkic tribes.

And Li Ji was the commander of the other army, and together with Li Xiaogong, Li Shimin, and Qin Qiong, he broke through seventeen cities in the northeast of Shanxi and captured Li Misheng, who was caught off guard.

After that, the two armies combined to attack at the mouth, Jieli Khan was defeated, and led the remnants of the army to flee to the north of Yinshan Mountain, where Su Dingfang led the army to catch up, and finally captured.

Jieli Khan was taken to Chang'an, and most of his more than 200,000 prisoners of war became railroad workers, and began to build a railway that stretched north from the Hetao area.

In the summer of the ninth year of the Chinese Empire, the eldest grandson Wuji went out to patrol Jiaozhi and cordially met with the local people, and at this time, nearly half of the Indochina Peninsula had already fallen into the hands of the Chinese Empire.

The turn of the spring and summer of the tenth year of the founding of the Chinese Empire. The lord of Goguryeo, who had been besieging the city for more than three months, opened the gates and surrendered.

And the daughter of the king of Silla, who was accused of marrying the crown prince of my Chinese Empire, the Silla Kingdom, was naturally incorporated into my Chinese Empire.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of the founding of the Chinese Empire, the first steamship began to sail on inland waterways. At this moment, the fate of the Chinese nation has completely changed with the pace of the eldest grandson Wuji.
