"Back to his father, the Pingxi Army composed of the left battalion held on to Sun Kewang for two months, and after He Tengjiao arrived in Sichuan last month, he quickly took over the Pingxi Army, and conquered Chengdu in only half a month, stabilizing central Sichuan, western Sichuan and southern Sichuan. General Qin Liangyu also recovered the eastern and northern Sichuan regions,

It's a pity that Sun Kewang has already led the remnants of the army to flee to Yunnan."

Chongzhen frowned, "What about King Mu's people? Didn't you stop Sun Kewang?"

"King Mu's soldiers and horses were defeated by Sun Kewang, and let the thieves go south."

Chongzhen smiled, "Then you and the prince look at the situation and give King Mu some punishment."

"Yes." King Ding leaned over, "Father, now that the Pingxi army is going south, it has not found the main force of Sun Kewang's remnant army, He Tengjiao guessed that Sun Kewang fled to Burma, and asked if he would leave the country to pursue!"

Chongzhen closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Wait for the movement in Burma, if they tie Sun Kewang back, they will be temporarily stationed in Yunnan, and open mountains and build roads in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. Tell He Tengjiao that in case of emergency, you can act cheaply, cut first and then play."

When King Ding heard this, he pondered.

Chongzhen added: "Ship the airships and hot air balloons newly developed by the Shengong Institute to Yunnan in case of war, and at the same time arrange for the Pingxi Army to build warships for an attack from the water."

"Father, Emperor Shengming!" King Ding's face was excited, "Yunnan and Burma are mostly high mountains and dense forests, and it is not easy to reconnoitre, march and fight, with air power and water power, you will definitely succeed!"

A few days later, Wang Chengen happily rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, great joy! When the Quanzhou Mansion was renovating the palace, I unexpectedly got the treasure ship drawings left by the three treasure eunuchs during the Chengzu period!"

"What!" Chongzhen was overjoyed.

Legend has it that the blueprints of the treasure ship have already been burned, and I don't want Quanzhou to have a backup!

"Hahaha, this is a great joy." Chongzhen's hands danced happily, "Order Fujian to use all the manpower, material resources, and financial resources handed over by the Zheng family to build a treasure ship with all its might!"

"I'm going to recreate the ocean-going giant!"

……

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye to the New Year, Daming ushered in the 19th year of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, and rewarded golden beans with pride, and the monarchs and ministers were all happy.

At the same time, Chongzhen decreed that starting from Chinese New Year's Eve, the Beijing Division lifted the curfew for half a month, and the electric lights were bright all night, and the Beijing Division was brightly lit.

The nine gates of the Beijing division are opened, and the people are received around the clock.

The people of Gyeonggi and even further afield also came here.

In the half month of the New Year, there are floats every day, fireworks bloom every night, and the people are wearing new clothes, playing and frolicking on the streets, a prosperous scene.

Looking at the streets as bright as day, looking at the splendid palace city, the people's hearts were surging, the literati made countless poems, and the military generals could only laugh and shout, "Beautiful!"

In view of the security problem, the officers and soldiers of Yulin with loaded guns and ammunition inside and outside the city, with steel helmets and iron armor, stood neatly and stationed at the city gate to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

Seeing the heroic Yulin Army, everyone said, with Emperor Chongzhen here, the world must be peaceful!

When the envoys and merchants of Spain and other Western countries saw it, they were amazed, "It is worthy of the Ming Dynasty!" This is the richest place in the world, the most powerful country in the world! It's the most civilized country in the world!"

The Mongolian and Korean nobles who came to Beijing to worship were all shocked.

"Where did we get the confidence to try to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty! Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen is merciful, otherwise our clan would have perished!"

"Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen allowed our subjects to become Ming nationals, wear Hanfu and speak Chinese, from today on, we are finally not a small Huaxia, but a real Chinese!"

……

Before the first month, Queen Zhou gave birth to a prince, and the whole country rejoiced.

Emperor Chongzhen gave the name Zhu Cilang and was named the king of Nanzhou.

The ministers didn't know, "Your Majesty, where is Nanzhou?"

Chongzhen laughed, "There are tens of thousands of islands south of the South Seas, named "Ming Nan Wan Island", and further south, there is a continent, which is the same size

Like Ming, the east is 10,000 acres of fertile land, and the west is Hanhai, which is for Nanzhou."

At the same time, Chongzhen changed the title of King Dingding to the king of Dongzhou, and King Yong to the king of the Americas!

The ministers were dumbfounded again, "Where is Dongzhou? Where is the Americas?"

Chongzhen ordered someone to unfold the map of the world that he had drawn with his own hands, and pointed to it: "Ten thousand miles east of Japan, there is a continent called Dongzhou, and the continent south of Dongzhou is called America.

The two continents are surrounded by the sea on all sides, and they are rich in natural resources, and they are the same rich land as the Ming Dynasty."

Some ministers were worried that the vassal king would stand on his own, and more ministers immediately supported him.

Chongzhen didn't care, and said loudly: "The rights of the monarch must be limited, and this also requires the cabinet and the military aircraft department to formulate laws."

When the minister heard that the king's rights would be restricted by the imperial court, he was much more relieved, and he did not pursue it any longer, and secretly resolved to make a law to cut off the possibility of the king's self-reliance and usurpation.

Chongzhen knows this, he also knows the limit of his ability, and it is better to brainstorm for unknown things.

For a period of time after that, the ministers argued endlessly over the world map and the status and rights of the monarch, which indirectly allowed the Ming civil and military to look at the world and touch the ocean.

……

After the beginning of spring, just when everyone thought that the Ming Dynasty would recuperate for a period of time, the Lushun sailor was ordered to go on an expedition, facing the southeast wind, heading south against the wind, and heading straight to the treasure island.

More than 30 ironclad ships emitting black smoke galloped across the sea.

Zheng Sen personally led his soldiers to march and slaughtered the city of Geransha and the city of Puminsha. He took advantage of the high tide of the sea to enter the inland sea of the Taijiang River through the Luermen waterway and landed at Heliao Harbor, intending to seek the weakly defended Puluo City first. After the Dutch warship was discovered, they left the port to meet the battle, and the two sides launched a naval battle, Zheng Sen annihilated the enemy with strong ships and guns, and successfully captured the city of Prominsha.

Zheng Sen did not dare to delay the fighter plane, and besieged the city of Gelanza from both sides by sea and land. After the red-haired people in the city refused to surrender, Zheng Sen ordered a strong attack on the city of Relanza. It only took half a day to blow up the city wall and wipe out all the red-haired people.

Looking at the map of the treasure island, Chongzhen laughed loudly, "Reward Zheng Sen, seal the prince of Yanping, and garrison the treasure island!" Ordered Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province to immigrate 1 million people to the treasure island and build a home on the treasure island!"

……

In March, the Pingnan Army sent back news that Li Dingguo led the Pingnan Army to conquer the capital of Annam, stabbed the king of Annam, and asked the imperial court to send troops south to dominate.

Chongzhen immediately sent Hu Guozhu to Annan and temporarily served as Annan's political envoy to pacify Xindi. Li Dingguo was stationed on the spot to prepare for the next military operation.

In May, news came from the southwest that the king of Burma was killed, his younger brother usurped the throne, refused to hand over Sun Kewang, and even lent a city to help Sun Kewang ascend the throne and become emperor.

He Tengjiao did not wait for the order of the Beijing Division, took the lead in the battle, and caught the Burmese king and Sun Kewang by surprise.

Attack on three sides by land, water and air, and advance quickly.

It only took half a month to blow up Sun Kewang, capture the Burmese king alive, and slaughter the Burmese royal family.

Chongzhen praised it greatly, set up 4 political envoys in Burma to rule directly, and at the same time ordered He Tengjiao and Li Dingguo to attack from the east and west, and wiped out Zhenla and other countries that secretly supported Burma in one fell swoop, and all of them were included in the imperial court.

In June, Zheng Sen, the political envoy of Baodao, received a holy decree and went north to conquer Japan on the charge of Japan's capture of the Ming Dynasty's vassal state of Ryukyu.

In the case of the destruction of the naval division, the king of Japan proposed peace and put forward a series of conditions.

Chongzhen only had one sentence, "Peace can be negotiated, but the war will not stop because of peace."

In July, before the war in Japan ended, Shi Lang, a general under Zheng Sen, led the sailors to capture the Tang King alive in Luzon, beheaded Zheng Hongkui, and was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to garrison Luzon and open a new political envoy.

In August, the Ming fleet cruised in Tokyo Bay, and the king of Japan offered to surrender, expressing his willingness to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

When Chongzhen learned about it, he only gave two words, "It's late!"

In September, the Ming army landed on various islands in Japan, and the butcher's knife was raised, the Japanese imperial vein was cut off, and the shogunate disappeared.

The news was transmitted back to Daming, and the whole country celebrated.

Zheng Sen was given the surname of the country and was knighted as the king of Yanping County.

At the same time, Liaodong and

When the news of the bumper harvest in Mongolia came back to Jingshi, Chongzhen looked like a matter of course, without any sense of surprise, "Order Wu Sangui to carry out military cantonment further north and push the cultivation of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes further north!" At the same time, it is advancing to the west of the Luo Wilderness."

In October, Huang Sheng led the army to march to Zungar, and Huafeng led the army into Qinghai, relying on the overwhelming weapon superiority, as if walking on the ground to advance in a big way.

The Jungar army was not an opponent, and with the truth of cold lips and teeth, the three major tribes of Mobei Mongolia were invited to participate in the war.

Mobei Mongolia saw that Monan Mongolia had become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and after the destruction of Zhunger, it would definitely be their turn and immediately send troops to participate in the war.

It's a pity that under the participation of the new weapon airship, the grassland cavalry was ruthlessly bombed by the Ming Air Force, and was unable to form an army and surrendered with the flag.

The army of Dzungar was also lost in one charge after another.

King Dzungar Khan fled westward, and Huang Sheng crossed Lake Balkhash directly and pursued him all the way.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered the establishment of 8 political envoys including Yili to govern all parts of Hanhai, and at the same time divided the vast area from Mobei to the Arctic Ocean into 28 political envoys, similar to the way of Monan.

In November, the first railway in Daming started construction, from Beijing all the way to the west, directly to Jiayuguan, the whole country sensation.

Chongzhen was overjoyed, and ordered the design institute to continue to follow up, and in the future, the railway will be paved all the way to Yili and even further to the west.

The Ming Dynasty continued to expand its territory, which is rare in ancient and modern times, but Chongzhen did not stop, and with a wave of his hand, the Ming Dynasty sailors went south, built houses on the Mingnan Islands, and announced the ownership of these islands to the world.

In December, when Daming was cold and windy, Daming Sailor found Nanzhou in the middle of summer.

When the news reached Daming, the ministers congratulated and were even more surprised by the climate there.

There are places in the world that are completely opposite to the climate of the Ming Dynasty.

"In the summer of the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhou is winter, and in the winter of the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhou is summer, which is really magical."

At this time, the teachers and students of the Shengong Academy took the altar to give lectures, discussing the earth, the sun, autobiography, revolution and other scientific knowledge to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and took the opportunity of finding the new continent to do a good wave of popular science.

Coupled with the popularization of electric lights and the invention of telephones and transmitters, the Ming intellectuals finally realized the power of science and technology. They have signed up to join the Academy.

The scale of the Shengong Institute is getting bigger and bigger, and Chongzhen divides the Shengong Institute into a scientific research department and a university department.

The scientific research department inherited the research and development work of the institute.

The university department is responsible for teaching students, and has set up the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the Faculty of Mechanics, the Faculty of Mathematics, the Faculty of Physics, the Faculty of Chemistry, and the Faculty of Medicine.

After joining the Academy, students can freely choose to study in the college according to their respective strengths, and they can also study multiple majors at the same time.

Since then, Shengong University has become the greatest university the world has ever seen!

Not to be outdone, with the support of Chongzhen, Guozijian also established several liberal arts colleges to carry forward the mission of Chinese civilization.

……

In the first month of the 20th year of Chongzhen, Dongzhoujun's supporters suddenly attacked, listing 20 major sins of the prince, and hundreds of officials jointly demanded the deposition of the prince.

Chongzhen was noncommittal, just mechanically arresting the officials who defended the prince.

When the officials who were interested in Dongzhou Jun saw it, they were very excited, and they kept jumping out to support the deposition of the prince, and a large number of people stood up to support Dongzhou Jun, and they had the momentum of dominating the court and the people's aspirations.

In this regard, the prince did not say a word, and let others blame him.

The dethronement lasted for a month, and no new officials chose their sides, Chongzhen saw that the time had come, and ordered the arrest of all officials and their three clans who supported Dongzhou Jun on the charge of slandering the prince, and distributed Jiaozhou and Lushun. At the same time release all princeling officials.

The crown prince once again supervised the country alone, reorganized the court, and the Ming Dynasty issued a general order.

In March, Chongzhen announced the Zen throne and helped Zhu Cihong ascend the throne.

In April, Huang Sheng sent back the news that they had traveled westward and encountered two huge saltwater lakes, and the new emperor issued a decree according to the emperor's wishes, giving them the names Caspian Sea and Aral Sea.

At the same time, Wu Sanfu also sent back the news that they had arrived at a place called the Volga River, where the farmland was fertile and extremely suitable for building a new city. He had already taken initial control of the area and asked the imperial court to send officials to station.

In May, the religious leaders of Uszang came to Beijing and asked for canonization, and the new emperor gave him canonization, formulated a reincarnation system, and sent 50,000 troops and 500,000 people to Usizang.

Help the people there to make a fortune.

In June, hundreds of Daming treasure ships sailed from Quanzhou to Jiaozhou Port.

Chongzhen took Dongzhou Jun and American Jun, escorted the officials who supported Dongzhou Jun and the people who were committed to Dongzhou Jun, and sailed to the east on a huge ship as big as a city.

The new emperor Zhu Cihong looked at the big ship in the distance, and Chongzhen's parting words echoed in his heart:

"Now that the warships of the Ming Dynasty are cruising off the coast of Tianzhu, and Sri Lanka and Somalia have also begun to build military ports, they will definitely be able to stabilize the South China Sea and the Tianzhu Sea in a few years.

My son is wise, and will be able to carry on his father's ambition, and go west by land, as far as Europa, so that the caravan of the Ming Dynasty can reach the west coast; The sea route bypassed Wangmingjiao, spread the ports on the east and west banks of Xuanzhou, set up political envoys, and continued to expand the territory!" (Xuanxi and black, naturally know where Xuanzhou is.) ）

On the treasure ship, looking at the gradually shrinking land, Zhu Cijiong looked stubborn, "Father, why do you recognize the prince brother so much, why can he inherit the unification, and I have to expand the territory by myself?"

Chongzhen sighed heavily, "There is no immortal dynasty, I just hope that Daming will leave a few more roots!"

"What about Xuanzhou? What about Europe? Why didn't my father make arrangements?"

Chongzhen smiled: "Why don't you have to leave some place for your emperor brother to reward his son!"
