In the fourth year of the Republic of China, 4342 in the Yellow Calendar and 1645 in the Western Calendar.

According to the original history, the Manchu army at this time had occupied the entire north, and the Great Shun Dynasty only had part of Hubei left. Zuo Liangyu was on the side of the Qing monarch, and Zhang Xianzhong fought hard with the Southern Ming in Sichuan.

By the way, Tsarist Russia is coming!

Although the easternmost city built by Tsarist Russia was Ust-Kut in the northwest of Lake Baikal. However, a group of 100 Cossack cavalry killed all the way to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River.

The population along the way was not much left by the Manchu Qing, and the Cossack cavalry was like no one.

They don't want food, they only grab what they can eat in the short term.

The natives had no silver or gold to rob them, so they stared at the furs. The Beishan savages, the natives of the Sauron tribe, and the aborigines of Sakhalian along the way were ordered to offer the furs that should have been left for the Manchus, and if they couldn't take them out, they would be engaged in a massacre.

Tsarist Russia expanded thousands of kilometers in Siberia, and the driving force was to obtain fur.

This was the time of the Xiaoice River, and Europe was frighteningly cold and fur was very expensive. The fur business is the economic pillar of Tsarist Russia, and it relies entirely on the sale of furs to raise the army, and all by selling furs for the royal family to squander.

In the first half of last year, the Beishan savages came to grab it.

In the second half of last year, the Russian Cossack cavalry came again, and the robbery route was very similar.

The Manchurian aristocracy was furious and again sent cavalry in pursuit.

But the Russian cavalry had already slipped away, and they couldn't even touch the hair. The Cossack cavalry lost only two (frozen to frostbite), and with their robbed furs, they retreated all the way to the other side of Lake Baikal.

During the New Year, the Ministry of War sent an emergency military situation.

"Your Majesty, the puppet emperor of Yunnan has removed the emperor title and brought Mu Tianbo to request to belong to our dynasty!"

"What's going on?"

Zhao Han was extremely surprised when he heard this, and grabbed the military report with one hand, only to find that the emperor of Yunnan had been killed by Tusi and fled in a hurry, and Kunming had been occupied by Tusi's army.

The rebellious toast is called Sha Dingzhou.

Sha Dingzhou's father was Sha Yuan, and during the Wanli period, he made meritorious contributions to the invasion of Annan. Since the Governor of Annan has been abolished, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Annam was given to Shayuan by the imperial court.

That piece of land is Mengzi, Yunnan.

During the Apocalypse, during the Rebellion of Luxury, Sha Yuan made great contributions and was promoted to Xuanfu by the imperial court.

During the Chongzhen period, Yunnan Tusi rebelled from time to time. Under the guise of counterinsurgency, Shayuan continued to plunder the surrounding area and accumulated countless money and food.

After Sha Yuan's death, the eldest son Sha Dinghai succeeded to the throne, because of his stupidity and incompetence, the Sha family Tusi gradually declined.

The reputation of Tuzhi Prefecture in Ami Prefecture is not toast, but better than toast. After this person's death, his wife Wan remarried Sha Dinghai. The second son, Sha Dingzhou, secretly had an affair with this sister-in-law, and the two conspired to expel Sha Dinghai and stand on his own.

The adulterous uncle and sister-in-law, after expelling Sha Dinghai, murdered the son of Wan and her first husband, and directly annexed Amizhou to the substance.

In other words, in order to help his lover, Wan expelled his second husband and killed his own son with his original partner!

Sha Dingzhou owned two pieces of Tusi territory, and he was loyal to help Mu Tianbo fight. Mu Tianbo didn't expect that Sha Dingzhou would actually rebel, and he had no defense against this guy at all.

Last winter, Sha Dingzhou suddenly raised troops, and he learned from his dead father, and has been under the guise of quelling chaos.

Mu Tianbo was also very happy, feeling that Sha Dingzhou was really loyal, and took the initiative to help the imperial court quell the rebellion. As a result, all the way to the outside of Kunming, Mu Tianbo was caught off guard, and hurriedly fled with the emperor and ministers.

They counterattacked many times, but they were all repelled by Shadingzhou, and they could only retreat to the Yunnan-Guizhou border and ask to be attached to the Datong court.

Historically, Mu Tianbo fought for two or three years, but he had no way to take Shadingzhou, and Shadingzhou even counterattacked into Guizhou. It was Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo who defeated Sha Dingzhou and helped the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty to recapture Kunming.

After Zhao Han consulted with the cabinet minister, he immediately replied: accept the submission of the Yunnan puppet emperor and Mu Tianbo, but cut off all his titles and official positions. If they want to become officials, they should come to Nanjing to receive ideological education, and in the future, they can start as mayors. As for their land, it will henceforth be distributed to the peasants according to the rules, but they will be allowed to keep an extra twenty acres each.

As for the treasure and food, hehe, he fled in a hurry, and they were all occupied by Shadingzhou.

Now Mu Tianbo still has more than 10,000 troops, but he can't even pay his salary, and the soldiers are all hungry and waiting for food. Mu Tianbo couldn't hold it back, and many officers led their troops to loot everywhere in northern Yunnan, just to grab a bite to eat.

The reply of the imperial court was immediately sent to Yunnan, and whether the puppet emperor and Mu Tianbo accepted it or not, Zhao Han and the ministers did not care.

What can a pack of reservoir dogs be worth?

If before the fall of Kunming, they sacrificed the whole territory of Yunnan, it would be regarded as a real meritorious service, but now it is just a wagging tail and begging for mercy.

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here, and this year's lantern festival is extremely beautiful.

Zhao Han took out tens of thousands of taels of silver from the interior to purchase lanterns from the people. There was also a sponsorship of businessmen to work together to make two large lanterns.

The largest lantern is 14 meters high, like a building.

Around the lantern, there are many small lantern groups, and the name of the sponsor is written on the lantern sign: Fu Ruixiang Jewelry, Shengchang Tai Qian Zhuang and so on.

This kind of commercial sponsorship is not Zhao Han's first initiative.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were already lanterns, and merchants made lanterns to dedicate to the emperor. Although he can't directly show his own brand, he can send a guy to promote it next to the Ao Deng, and Zhao Han just makes this kind of commercial advertisement more obvious.

At the same time, Zhao Han forbade the local government to offer lanterns to the emperor!

That kind of practice is easy to cause comparison, and finally becomes a kind of disturbing behavior.

On the 14th night of the first lunar month of the old calendar, the lights have been tested in various parts of the city, and the police in the city are on standby, because the police still have firefighting duties.

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, fires caused by the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival have been more than once or twice. During the Zhengde period, the lanterns that King Ning dedicated to Zhu Houzhao burned the emperor's Qianqing Palace. While ordering the firefighting, Zhu Houzhao watched the excitement on the city tower, and joked: "What a big fireworks!" ”

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lantern festival was officially held.

The whole city was turned into a sea of lights, and the imperial city was partially opened, allowing people to come in and watch the lights. This is a continuation of Zhu Yuanzhang's practice to express the meaning of the Son of Heaven and the people.

The streets and alleys were full of people, and many people from the outer city also came in. Although they can also watch the lanterns by Xuanwu Lake, they are not as lively as the inner city after all, and everyone still wants to enter the imperial city.

On this night, millions of people moved inside and outside Nanjing.

The retail industry is booming to the extreme, with countless small traders and hawkers popping up. For those mobile stalls, they could not be managed during the Lantern Festival, and the government did not bother to send people to collect taxes.

For some fixed stalls, the business tax has become particularly heavy, and there are also bidding to settle in, which are all golden seats opened up during the Lantern Festival - the location is close to the Aodeng.

In the storefronts along the street, the boss spontaneously placed lanterns in order to attract passers-by, and there was sales if there was customer flow.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, line up and enter the imperial city in turn!" The guards of the imperial city were overwhelmed.

The people entered the imperial city from the Donghua Gate, and if the imperial examination was still there, the previous champions also came out of the Donghua Gate.

This section of the street is all blocked, and it is "rubbing shoulders" in the physical sense.

The booth fee nearby is also very expensive, the people who watch the lanterns can't walk, they can't enter the imperial city to see the lanterns, and it is difficult to go to other markets, so they can watch other lanterns on the roadside, and spend money on those stalls by the way.

"This is the Imperial Palace?"

"It's still early, the palace is inside, this is just the imperial city."

"The lights in the imperial city are better than the ones outside."

"Look, Your Majesty is here!"

“……”

Zhao Han's imperial guard of honor suddenly appeared on the eastern wall of the Forbidden City.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

The people who watched the lanterns in the imperial city knelt down one after another. In addition to the mountain shouts, there are also chaotic shouts of excitement.

"Huh~~~ Bang!"

"Huh~~~ Bang!"

Fireworks were set off in the Forbidden City, and the people looked up to watch, and many children jumped and clapped their hands and laughed.

Zheng Sen took Zhao Zhenfang back to Beijing to report on his work, and his new position was Zhizhou. This kind of promotion speed can be said to be very fast, first, Zheng Sen's own ability is outstanding, second, he has worked as a secretary for Zhao Han, and third, he still has the identity of a colt.

After taking Luzon, Zhao Han fulfilled his promise and canonized Zheng Zhilong as the Duke of the South China Sea.

At this point, Zheng Zhilong completely withdrew from the political arena and became a duke in his hometown.

"I haven't come back for two or three years, and the Nanjing Lantern Festival is getting better and better." Zhao Zhenfang raised her eyes and looked around, Zheng Sen helped her block the crowd, and there was a wet nurse holding her son behind her.

Zheng Sen nodded and sighed: "Yes, it's still lively in Nanjing." ”

Next to them is Zhao Zhenlan's family, and Zhao Zhenlan has given birth to a son and a daughter.

The two princesses are traveling together, and their husbands are chatting. It's a pity that an official and a businessman are still more than ten years apart in age, and they don't have a common language at all.

Zhu Cihong also took his younger brothers and sisters to watch the lanterns in the market.

Zhu Cihong had just turned 16 years old and was not admitted to Jinling University last year. But Zhao Han lent him money and asked Zhu Cihong to study in college at his own expense, as long as he got his graduation certificate, he would have the same diploma in the future.

Zhu Yujiao is also fifteen years old, and her academic performance can only be regarded as average.

The younger brother stood in front of the stall, as if he had taken a fancy to a gadget.

Zhu Cihong bought it with a smile, and bought some things for the other younger brothers and sisters. The emperor lent him ten taels of silver, and the purchasing power of the silver was very sufficient, as long as it was not a luxury, they could spend it tonight.

"Brother," Zhu Yujiao said with a smile while carrying a lantern, "When I earn money in the future, I will repay the silver borrowed by His Majesty with you." ”

Several French envoys, standing in the market, dumbfounded, crossed on their chests, said, "God, have we come to your kingdom?" ”

These French envoys were sent by Louis XIII.

Unbeknownst to them, the king was dead, and the current King of France was Louis XIV the Young.

The head of the mission was blocked in the crowd and moved forward with difficulty: "Unbelievable, it seems that half of France has so many people, all crowded into one city tonight. ”

Not so much, of course, and although Europe is vast and sparsely populated, France and Italy are very densely populated.

"Huh~~~ Bang!"

"Huh~~~ Bang!"

A second round of fireworks was set off over the Forbidden City, and this year's Lantern Festival was very lively.
