On the second day of the second month of February in the second year of Yongli, the Jingbei Army that pacified Liaodong finally returned to the division.

On the first day of the first month of March, at the court meeting, Liu Lishun, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Sizhi, the second assistant, Zhang Shaoqian, the governor of Beizhili, Wang Zhong, the governor of the Central Plains, and Yang Biao, the governor of Huguang and Huang Wenchang, the prince of Zhao Guogong, who returned to their posts in the southern capital, asked for the merit of King Yan, and believed that the emperor's strength was exhausted, and Emperor Yongli should follow the example of Tang Yu's old affairs, and Chan was located in King Yan.

"Huang Chu wants to follow Tang Yu's ......!"

"Huang Chu wants to follow Tang Yu's ......!"

Although Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, was reluctant, but the matter had come to this point, what could he, an empty auxiliary king with no soldiers and no power, stumble back to the inner palace on the spot.

After going through this set of procedures, Li Xingzhi on May 5 of the first year of Yongli, by the Ming Yongli Emperor Chan, that is, the emperor's throne, changed the country name to the Chinese Empire, changed the year name to the first year of Shengwu, and set Zhu Shuni as the queen, but because Zhu Shuni and Kong Maozhen are girls, the prince is undecided.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the first year of Shengwu, Emperor Shengwu promulgated the first edict of the founding of the country, ordering Liu Lishun, the first assistant of the cabinet, to build the Martyrs' Shrine in the West Mountain of Shenjing, and invited all the tablets of the loyal ministers and good generals who died in Liaodong since the Apocalypse Dynasty into the Martyrs' Shrine, as for Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui and other traitors and thieves, all cast kneeling statues and displayed them in front of the Martyrs' Shrine to warn future generations.

In July of the first year of Shengwu, on the day of the completion of the Martyrs' Shrine, Emperor Shengwu issued a decree that all the traitors and ten clans who had joined the slaves were escorted to the Martyrs' Shrine to be killed, and announced to the world that from now on, the traitors should have no queen.

In August of the first year of Shengwu, Zhu Cihong, the prince of Chongzhen, went to sea for a trial voyage in Dengzhou, but he didn't want to encounter a hurricane and the ship was destroyed and people died.

After Emperor Shengwu heard the report, he was grief-stricken, and announced a three-day strike to pay tribute to Zhu Cihong, and moved Emperor Zhu Cijiong of Yongli as the king of Ming, and was scheduled to be a vassal in the first year of Shengwu.

In order to enable the Ming State to gain a foothold in the Wa State, Li Xingzhi ordered to move the original Ming State clan to go out with the army.

In March of the second year of Shengwu, the Chinese Empire announced to the world that the Tokugawa Shogunate announced the conquest of the Tokugawa Shogunate in the name of the Emperor in the name of the Daimyo of the Imperial Empire, and the Fujian Naval Division and the Yangtze River Naval Division, a total of 3,000 large and small warships, the sixth town of the land division, the new six towns, and the independent six to ten towns to go out to conquer the Japanese Kingdom.

On the fifth day of the fourth month of the second year of Shomu, the imperial army landed in the Satsuma Domain, and the Tokugawa shogunate hurriedly organized local daimyo to fight a decisive battle against the Yasuhoku army in Iwami and Echigo.

However, the daimyo in various places were already friendly with the Zheng clan, and they each had the heart of both ends, but the seventeen daimyo such as Ma and Sado were afraid of the military might of the Chinese Empire, and defected in front of the battle, and the shogunate army was defeated.

In November of the second year of Shengwu, the main force of the Wang Division was stationed in Beijing and signed an alliance with the Wa Kingdom.

The treaty stipulated: the king of the Wa Kingdom went to the emperor honorific title, changed the name of the Wa King, and divided Hokkaido to the Ming King to establish a domain, in addition, the Wa State could not retain a standing army, only the king's guard and 1,800 servants, the national defense was responsible for the garrison of the Huaxia State, and the daimyo in various places as long as they respected the Wa King and the Huaxia Shangguo, they could enjoy the treatment of normal trade with China, and get the canonization of the Huaxia Emperor, Yongzhen Domain.

Being able to retain their rights and enjoy the lucrative profits brought by trade, the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom were naturally grateful to Dade, who already respected the strong, so they worshiped China more and more.

In order to stabilize the Japanese state, Li Xingzhi also ordered Shang Kexi to be the minister of defense of the Japanese state, leading the town to garrison Kyoto, and Pan Xuezhong, the deputy general of the first town of the naval division, was the minister of coastal defense of the Japanese state, leading the boat division of 500 to garrison Tokyo Bay, and stipulated that the minister stationed in the Japanese moved the town once every three years.

Shang Kexi and Pan Xuezhong were overjoyed, although there is a certain gap between the environment of the Japanese country and the domestic one, but the women of the Japanese country are much more open than those in the country, plus the gold and silver everywhere, they are here, but the existence of the emperor, not to mention the three years of garrisoning, is to be stationed for a lifetime, they are also willing.

In the third year of Shengwu, Empress Zhu Shuni finally gave birth to a prince, and the ministers were raging, and Li Xingzhi then established the emperor's eldest son Li Mingyi as the crown prince, and announced the opening of Enke this year to celebrate the birth of the prince.

It's just that this time, the imperial court not only opened civil and military affairs, but also added arithmetic, craftsman skills, weapon manufacturing, agriculture and other sub-departments, and stipulated that not only scholars from all over the world can participate, but also the children of farmers with other specialties, the children of craftsmen, and even ordinary people who are familiar with Xiyi can participate.

In order to ensure the holding of Enke, the Jinyi Weiti rode out in all directions, strictly controlled the local government, and implemented martial law in the examination rooms of various counties, prefectures, and provinces, in order to promote talents for the country.

At the same time, the imperial court also decreed that all prefectures and counties should open martial arts halls, and all children between the ages of seven and fourteen, regardless of whether they were poor or poor, must be enrolled, and the tuition fees used were borne by the imperial court.

In the fourth year of Shengwu, the Chinese Empire took the Fujian Navy Division as the main force to conquer the army, and Zheng Sen, the son of Zheng Zhilong, shined in this battle, defeated the main force of the Dutch Navy Division in Penghu, and broke through the Dutch stronghold Chichicheng in August of that year.

Li Xingzhi was overjoyed when he heard that the officers had recovered, and gave Zheng Sen the surname of the country, renamed Chenggong, and crowned him as the Marquis of Dongning, and stationed the officers to train the navy and horses, and conquered the South Seas.

In the sixth year of Shengwu, Li Dingguo, Marquis of Xining, invaded Burma, forcing the Burmese king Mangbai to claim vassal to the Chinese Empire and set up the Burmese Xuanwei Division.

In terms of internal affairs, with the popularization of the policy of salt and iron reform and mining tax reform, as well as the establishment of Dengzhou City, Susong City, and Quanzhou City, the imperial court's annual income soared from 2 million taels at the end of the Ming Dynasty to 40 million taels.

"Emperor Li, don't pay for grain, collect grain and return it to Yinzihua."

"Emperor Li loves the people, and everyone praises him for his reading and literacy."

The new dynasty and new atmosphere, compared with the harsh government of the former Ming Dynasty, the Chinese Empire undoubtedly gave the people the best treatment, and let them see the hope of getting ahead, no matter what era, the people are the most simple, as long as there is a mouthful of food, clothes to wear, a house to live in, there are a few taels of silver left every year, and the wife and children are hot on the kang, they will get their heartfelt support.

On the contrary, once the imperial court for the interests of the aristocratic class, deceive, expropriate and expropriate, will be abandoned by the people, although it can be suppressed by force for a while, but can not be a lifetime, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong Yin Jian is not far away, Li Xingzhi naturally wants to know and learn from it.

In the fifteenth year of Shengwu, Zheng Chenggong, who was given the surname of the country, led a land and water army of 30,000 all the way to break through Luzon and Lower Java, entered the Australian mainland, and annihilated the garrison of Furlong Machine, and was promoted to the king of Yanping County for his merits.

In the same year, Li Dingguo, who had been promoted to the Duke of Xining, led 100,000 troops, invaded Jungar, and killed all the way to Lake Baikal, sealing the wolf Juxu, and the land of China reached its peak, and Li Dingguo was also awarded the title of King of Xining County for his merits.

……

The fifteenth night of the first month of the forty-fifth year of Shengwu.

In Gaoyang City, in front of Yuelai Restaurant, three ordinary carriages slowly stopped, and the three old men helped each other to get out of the carriage.

"Since last year, we feel that this body is not as good as a day, last month Li Rui's dog thing also left, there were only three of us left on the Li family mountain back then, we thought about coming back to have a glass of wine, but I didn't expect to meet you two on the road."

In the moonlight, the old man's eyes looked at the renovated plaque of Yuelai Restaurant, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes and ups and downs.
