The time entered May.

The breath of summer began to spread in the land of Yanyun.

The weather is starting to get hotter, and the elm trees in the streets and alleys have become lush, and the whole capital seems to be enthusiastic.

The entrance to the alley also began to become more crowded.

With the end of the war.

The surviving people everywhere are like weeds, and they are beginning to come to life again.

They came out of every corner, made from sunrise to sunset, and the cycle continued, writing many insignificant footnotes on this ancient land, piling up the stories of princes and generals for people to get a glimpse of.

"Hey, did you hear that? The Son of Heaven is coming to the Northern Capital soon! ”

"The former Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is dead, the Son of Heaven should have come a long time ago, right?"

"You don't know this, although the emperor of the former Qing Dynasty is dead, he has to transfer all the people in the city, the palace has to be repaired, and he has to choose an auspicious day to enter the city."

"It's really exquisite."

"When I heard that I was from Guangdong, they paid the most attention to this."

The topic of Hutongkou is also inseparable from the hot topics of the past few days.

It is the Ming court that has returned.

Why do you say again?

Because since one hundred and fifty years ago, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on the crooked neck tree of the coal mountain, this Xiongcheng in the land of Yanyun with a history of one or two thousand years has been occupied by Dashun and Daqing successively.

The plaque on the Zhengyang Gate has also changed from "Daming Gate" to "Daqing Gate" written in Manchu and Han languages.

"Did you hear that? The plaque of Zhengyang Gate, in turn, is Daming Gate! ”

Someone gossiped.

"Can't you? Isn't it just a plaque? ”

"Why can't it, when I heard that the Qing Dynasty directly used this plaque to write the Daqing Gate, it was to suppress the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect to leave a glimmer of life for the Ming Dynasty, and this is the time to restore the Son of Heaven and the Ming Dynasty."

"And here's the thing"

"Who knows."

The discussion at the mouth of the alley is very brisk.

Because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said it.

Everything in the Ming Dynasty is governed by Ming etiquette.

Ming etiquette stipulates that unless the subjects discuss the remarks of subverting the Ming regime and directly attacking the emperor, empress and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the remarks are not criminalized, but those who spread rumors and create rumors will be tried and criminalized according to the severity and nature of the consequences caused by their remarks.

Originally, the big guys didn't know much about it.

After all, there are more than a dozen volumes of a general outline of Ming Li.

In addition, the laws formulated by the general outline of rites, such as the "Rite-Sect Order", "Rite-Imperial Examination Law", [Rite-Military Service Law], [Rite-Agricultural Law], and [Rite-Commercial Law], have been enacted.

That's even more.

And with the Ming Dynasty dominating the world.

More laws will certainly be enacted.

At that time, Da Ming is afraid that he will also enter the evil road of making a windfall of lawyers.

It's really not advanced at all.

However, with the public trial of the former Qing Emperor Qianlong.

This let almost all the scholars and people in the capital who watched this trial in the capital know the determination of the Son of Heaven to carry out the ceremony!

Even the Qianlong Emperor of the former Qing Dynasty was spared death because he was over eighty years old - although Qianlong was still dead, he was angry with himself.

It has nothing to do with the Restoration of Heaven.

And some people have written a drama about this.

It's called [Son of Heaven Three Qi Qianlong].

It's going on in the West Garden.

I don't know how many old and young masters in the capital know.

This Qianlong Emperor is like Zhou Yu - no, even Zhou Yu is not as good, at least Zhou Yu is good-looking.

was shocked by the magnificence of the Son of Heaven, and finally suffocated to death by holding his breath alive.

He really deserved it.

Just in the streets and alleys, the old and young masters in the northern capital were talking happily.

The northern capital is also newly furnished.

The trees on both sides of the street are wrapped in red cloth and hung with sun and moon flags.

The soldiers of the Guards Regiment also entered the city several days in advance, and patrols with muskets and neat queues could be seen on these days.

All the divisions in the city were also moved, and many people were hired to clean the entire city, and the Forbidden City was also renovated.

Those palace maids and eunuchs of the former Qing Dynasty were all rushed out after receiving a severance pay - the Ming Dynasty did not need eunuchs.

During this time, everyone was concerned about the new things, and there were some rich eunuchs marrying wives.

I don't know what this eunuch is going to do when he marries a wife.

Watching and playing?

So now the whole city is waiting for the protagonist to come.

This Ming Dynasty is back after a hundred and fifty years!

May 20th.

In two rows of the main street from Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate, two columns of soldiers stood on both sides of the street, leaving the middle avenue.

And on both sides of the road.

There are many people who come to see the excitement.

Everybody heard about it.

The royal car of the great tomorrow will go from Yongdingmen Road to Zhengyangmen and then to the palace.

Naturally, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the palace, but the section from Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate did not stop the crowd from watching.

In the midst of the crowd of onlookers.

There are also some low-key crowds.

That is the diplomats of the original Western countries stationed in Beijing.

Since the Great Emperor did not summon them, these diplomats who had been waiting anxiously in the northern capital finally waited for Emperor Zhu to enter the northern capital.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is now barely able to dominate their world."

British Ambassador George. Staunton said helplessly.

What is the thing that His Majesty King George III regrets most about being at Windsor Castle right now?

It was nothing more than not preventing Zhu Daohua from returning to the East in the first place.

Now it's good.

The Ming Empire is now the greatest threat to Britain's world hegemony.

And the magnitude of this threat made George. The thought of it tingled on the scalp: Britain's opponent was a super-empire with a population of 40,000,000, the largest industry in the world, and the most advanced weapons in the world.

The power of this empire.

Perhaps the whole of Europe, taken together, cannot be compared

"China is a sleeping lion, but it is a pity that this lion has now been awakened by His Majesty the Emperor."

In George. Next to Staunton was the great Vasily of Tsarist Russia. Lavrov.

Now Britain and Tsarist Russia are "close allies" because both sides are in agreement both on France and on the Ming Dynasty.

The common interest of both sides was to curb the expansion of the Ming Empire.

Britain wanted to halt the Ming Dynasty's expansion in India and Southeast Asia, while also preventing the Ming Empire from focusing on their Australian colonies

Tsarist Russia, on the other hand, began to take the defensive after some tentative attempts in Vladivostok to hold on to its influence in Siberia and Central Asia.

Because of their common interests, the two sides have become more "intimate".

"Yes, I have heard that Britain has suffered repeated defeats in India, and now even the mouth of the Bengal River has been lost."

Vassili. Lavrov said.

George. Staunton frowned when he heard this.

The news coming from the Indian battlefield is really worrying.

The Viceroyalty of Calcutta, Britain, which had lost its naval supremacy, was simply unable to defend the long coastline of the British Indian colony.

They simply don't have so many troops. 、

So only focused defense can be carried out.

And the coalition of Indian princes of the Ming Empire did not immediately seek a decisive battle with the British Governorate of Calcutta.

Instead, relying on the deterrent power of the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet, a large number of Chinese pirates were recruited, and raids were carried out in the British Indian colonies, plundering a lot of wealth that originally belonged to Britain!

They then landed in a weakly defended area, took advantage of the superiority of their forces in East Bengal, and now extended to the Lower Ganges, and joined forces with the Maratha League and began to expand westward along the Ganges.

The situation was not good for Britain.

With this trend.

Britain's Indian colonies would have to be completely occupied by the Chinese.

"Didn't your Cossacks also return from a crushing defeat at Vladivostok, I heard. The Ming army only dispatched half of the newly formed army brigade, and it defeated yours in a big way, and the other side did not even suffer any casualties."

George. Staunton said.

Vasily shook his head with a wry smile and said, "George, I am here to taunt each other and not help solve anything, I think. We can reach a consensus, that is, the military technology of the Ming Empire has been ahead of Europe, and if we want to fight with such an empire, we need the same weapons and the same tactics to defeat the opponent! ”

George. When Staunton heard this, his face became solemn.

Long.

The fundamental reason for the successful expansion of the Europeans around the world is the strength of the Europeans' armed forces.

It is only on the basis of strong force that so much land can be occupied.

But now.

They must face a grim situation: the rise of a terrorist empire that is overwhelming Europe in terms of population and leading Europe in all aspects of military technology!

Moreover, from the birth of this empire, it has shown a strong ambition for foreign expansion!

They now have armies fighting in the North, South, and West.

The Ming Dynasty incorporated its own peasant army and formed an extremely large army ready to expand into Central Asia.

And the Manchu and Mongolian tribes were also incorporated and became the capital of the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the west, in which the strategic goal was also very clear - this is the war revenge against Tsarist Russia!

Tsarist Russia's tentative attack on Vladivostok.

Finally provoked terrible consequences.

Vassili. Lavrov stayed in the northern capital in the hope of having a certain degree of diplomatic negotiations with the Ming Dynasty and avoiding a war without a full-scale war with the Ming Empire - for Tsarist Russia, almost 100,000 troops marching to the west already made them have to mobilize the whole country to fight against it.

But for the Ming Empire.

Provide weapons for 100,000 soldiers of the Western Army.

It's not too difficult to do.

And in India, in Central Asia, in Siberia.

The expansion of the Ming Dynasty did not use their core power, but through the submission of their vassals.

This is only one percent of the strength of this terrifying monster of the Ming Empire.

And this

Tsarist Russia and Britain have already realized that it is impossible for a single European country to face the behemoth of the Ming Empire!
