There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.

At the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, looking back at the people kneeling on the ground around him, there was no one standing at the end of his vision, and Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh like this.

This ceremony of unifying the world and mixing one universe to worship the heavens is naturally not as hasty as when Zhao Mingyuan was the king.

Dozens of zhang high platform was built outside Luoyang City to hold a ceremony to worship the sky, and hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City participated together, and the gold content of the guests was even more incomparable.

The princes from all walks of life who competed for the Heshi Bi in Luoyang City are now all ministers under Zhao Mingyuan's ranks, and they bow their heads one by one and are respectful.

People from all the tribes of the steppe came, and even Goguryeo sent envoys to participate in the ceremony.

In comparison, Zhao Mingyuan's ceremony of claiming the title of king in the past was like a farce of a grass king.

Alas, today I know the preciousness of the Son of Heaven!

Zhao Mingyuan was dressed in a dragon robe and held a dragon brocade scepter, and solemnly ascended the throne.

The minister of ceremonies performed the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, read out the book and the edict, the ministers knelt down to congratulate, the ceremonial music was played, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

Of course, what made Zhao Mingyuan even more excited was that hundreds of thousands of people were shouting long live, and the loud shouts of curbing the clouds were really unbearable.

After the enthronement ceremony, courtiers, generals, and wealthy nobles gathered together for a grand banquet and celebration.

Singing and dancing, wine and food, people drink and talk freely, celebrating Zhao Mingyuan's enthronement as emperor.

Zhao Mingyuan's ascension to the throne as emperor means the arrival of a new era.

The whole world is once again united, and all the people are looking forward to the arrival of an era of more peace, stability, prosperity and prosperity.

As for the name of the new dynasty named Yongxing, Zhao Mingyuan knew that his lifespan was very long, so he was not prepared to change the era name every few years.

Since Zhao Mingyuan has ascended the throne and become emperor, he naturally has to reward different people according to their merits and status.

Land, estates, property, and knighthoods, one after another will to be rewarded, are constantly being read out.

But people with a heart soon discovered that although it seemed that Zhao Mingyuan did reward him well, in fact, no one was crowned king.

Although everyone thought about it carefully, they found that they were taken by Zhao Mingyuan almost all the way, and it seemed that there was indeed no one who could be crowned king.

Of course, there are still people to fight for.

For example, Li Jing, who led his troops to destroy Great Xia alone, and Song Quan, the national abbot who swept away Jiangnan for Zhao Mingyuan, both of them are qualified to be crowned kings.

Li Jing is okay, he is indeed too young, if he is directly crowned king, it may make the ministers dissatisfied, and may even make him fall into an embarrassing situation where he cannot be sealed.

If Zhao Mingyuan still wants to make great use of Li Jing, and in the future, he will lead his troops to attack Goryeo or conquer the desert, but it is indeed not appropriate to reward too much.

This is easy for even Li Jing to understand.

How many heroes throughout the ages have not died well, to a certain extent, Zhao Mingyuan is protecting him.

As for the national ruler Song Que, not to mention the strong support of Song Valve for Zhao Mingyuan at the beginning, it should be natural to say that most of the Jiangnan was almost pacified by the Song family's troops, not to mention that Song Yuzhi was still Zhao Mingyuan's queen, and Song Que was crowned king, which should have been a logical thing.

But this logical thing has an accident, which can't help but make people think more.

Perhaps, it is precisely because the Song family is too strong and its influence in the new dynasty is too great, so it cannot be crowned Song Que as king.

Yes, the Song valve originally had a lot of influence in the south.

Song Que already had the title of King of Zhennan before, if he confirmed his royal power, who would be able to shake the status of the Song family?

And Zhao Mingyuan, as the founding monarch who ruled the world, naturally would not sit idly by and watch this happen.

Perhaps Song Que's failure to become king this time was Zhao Mingyuan's warning to Song Valve.

For a while, because of the Song family's daughter-in-law, everyone who thought that Song Valve's investment success would be prosperous again couldn't help but change their faces.

They believe that Zhao Mingyuan has now unified the world and is about to change his course and rectify internal affairs, but they are afraid that the status of these high-ranking lords will change greatly.

Since even Li Jing and Song Que could not be crowned kings, those princes from all walks of life who surrendered naturally had no shame to mention the matter of crowning kings.

So, everyone understood what Zhao Mingyuan meant, it seems that he wants to follow Liu Bang's punishment and swear that he can't be the king unless he is Liu!

However, this time everyone guessed wrong.

Soon news spread in the palace that Mrs. Dongming had made a meritorious contribution to the land and was named the king of the Ryukyus.

Immediately, what Zhao Mingyuan said to the Demon Gate at the beginning was also known to the world.

Overseas kings.

I see, everyone understood Zhao Mingyuan's ambition.

It turned out that no one had been crowned king before, not because Zhao Mingyuan was stingy, but because he had an ambition to swallow the world.

The world in Zhao Mingyuan's heart is not only this Chinese Kyushu, but every inch of land in this world.

Some people are amazed, some people laugh, some people are afraid, and naturally some people oppose it.

Those who opposed it even pulled out the example of Yang Guang, saying that Zhao Mingyuan was just as good as Yang Guang, and used the blood of the people to expand his prestige.

What is the use of those barren places, even if they are defeated?

It's just wasting money and food!

If you look at such remarks in the light of modern people's minds, it naturally feels extremely absurd.

But in fact, in the feudal era, this was the mainstream idea at that time.

The Chinese people have always regarded themselves as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the surrounding ethnic groups are called Siyi.

As long as they are nominally attached, the real crusade and conquest is nothing more than an empty drain of the treasury, and even if they build a new territory, they still have little to gain, and they can't make ends meet.

Zhao Mingyuan was not surprised by this, he understood that there was a long way to go to change such thinking.

After three years of recuperation, the people gradually recovered.

In the third year of Yongxing, Zhao Mingyuan sent troops to attack Goryeo.

Without the great master Cailin, the Goryeo people seem to have lost their courage, even if there is Quangai Suwen as the commander, they can't give them enough confidence.

The Ming Dynasty advanced by land and water, attacked from the north and south, and soon defeated the Goryeo army and pacified the peninsula.

After conquering the Goryeo Peninsula, it was natural to settle the matter on the steppe.

With firearms, the grassland people were naturally no longer able to resist the Ming Iron Army, so they could only temporarily avoid the edge, go deep into the desert, and avoid the Ming army. The intention is to exchange space for time and drag down the logistics of the Ming army.

This is also a common trick of the grassland peoples in the face of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.

However, this time they guessed wrong.

This time, the Ming army came prepared.

Although the major Turkic tribes have fled far away, there are still many scattered tribes in the steppe.

Most of them were oppressed by the powerful Turks, and many of them still admired the rich Han Chinese.

So, Daming gave them those pastures with abundant water and grass.

After the Ming army withdrew, the Turks returned.

When they see the most fertile pastures fall into the hands of others, they will not be reconciled.

As a result, smoke rose again on the grassland.

Those small tribes were no match for the Turks, and they were beaten to pieces, so they had to ask the Ming for help.

The Ming Dynasty naturally expected this, and the army arrived in a few days, annihilating the main Turkic force in a battle, chasing hundreds of miles, and capturing hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

This battle made the Turks run away when they saw the Ming banner, and there was no Hu royal court in the south of the desert.

Seeing that the Turks were driven away, those small tribes were very happy, thinking that these high-quality pastures would become theirs in the future.

But what they didn't expect was that the gentle and polite Han people before suddenly changed their faces.

Said to them: This has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and if you want to graze here, you can only become a Ming person.

Nationalities who are willing to accept Sinicization and merge into the Ming Dynasty can naturally graze here, and as for the stubborn people, they will naturally end up with the Turks.

The winner on the grassland is king, and many grassland tribes are still willing to be able to merge into the Ming Dynasty and graze on this fertile pasture with peace of mind.

But there are also many grassland people who believe that the Ming Dynasty, like the previous Han dynasty, will only prosper for a while.

So, they followed in the footsteps of the Turks and left westward, preparing to return decades later when the Ming Dynasty fell.

It's just that a few years later, they have moved west to thousands of miles away, but they saw cars made of steel, with the familiar Ming flag planted on the cars.

In the face of such a steel chariot, they naturally did not dare to fight.

But he has moved thousands of miles west, and he was even caught up by the Han people. That also means that the territory of the Ming Dynasty has also expanded here.

Where else can they flee?

Thousands of miles west again?

What if in a few years' time, these terrible chariots came to their doorstep?

In fact, these terrible chariots in their eyes were just tractors powered by steam engines.

In fact, they are also agricultural tools, which can be used as chariots in wartime and can also be used to cultivate land when farming is busy.

Therefore, they are known as cultivators.

The implication is that this is used as a plough to cultivate the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

On land, the Ming Dynasty can still expand the territory for thousands of miles, let alone on the sea.

Since Lu Miaozi developed the steam engine under the guidance of Zhao Mingyuan, which opened the prelude to the industrial revolution, it has been out of control.

The rapid development of productive forces has brought tremendous changes to the whole world.

On land, vehicles are also limited by the impact of the road. The steam engine can be placed on the big ship, and the development of water transportation is not just a star.

The Great Sui can make a five-tooth ship, and the Da Ming Sailor with a steam engine is naturally better.

In the fifth year of Yongxing in the Ming Dynasty, a huge fleet came to Tokyo Bay, Japan.

Facing the giant ships on the water that were larger than the giant whales, the envoy trembled forward and answered.

But the other side shouted with a slashed face: "You dare to call yourself the country of the rising sun?"

How dare the lord of the country call himself the emperor?

How dare a small country be so arrogant!

If the army has arrived today, will you not let your false king come and apologize quickly? ”

The envoy returned tremblingly and told the emperor all this in detail.

The emperor was furious, and the court was even more excited.

That night, a group of samurai took advantage of the night to take small boats and rushed to those huge ships. Prepare to take advantage of its unpreparedness and kill the Ming army.

The night attack naturally did not succeed, the Ming generals were furious, and the whole of Tokyo was burned, and the fire burned for three days.

Then the Japanese naturally had to sue for peace, and the two sides negotiated in Maguan, and finally signed a peace treaty, returning Jiuzhou Island to the Ming Dynasty, known as the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

In the sixth year of Yongxing, the island of Shikoku was returned.

In the seventh year of Yongxing, it was returned to Hokkaido.

In the eighth year of Yongxing, Japan was returned to the Ming Dynasty.

The shipload of gold and silver brought back from Japan made the whole world look sideways, and everyone had an infinite desire for overseas.

Suddenly, the gold rush arose in the Ming Dynasty, and the Age of Exploration officially began.

On the side of Tianjin Bridge, once again enjoying the wonder of thousands of sails racing on land, Zhao Mingyuan had a different taste in his heart.

In the past, I had been dragging the times forward by myself, but now that there are more people who have seen the benefits, I can finally push everything forward and continue to move forward.

Seeing that everything was developing in the direction he expected, Zhao Mingyuan could finally stay in the harem and enjoy it.

After recuperation at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the expansion of the territory in the following years, the world has already changed.

Now, in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty and all the people in the world, Zhao Mingyuan is already a well-deserved saint.

The only thing that the courtiers regretted a little was that Zhao Mingyuan never had an heir.

Although he knew that Zhao Mingyuan's miraculous skills had reached the realm of immortals, not to mention that he was still in the prime of life, it would be nothing to wait a few more years.

However, this inevitably made everyone murmur in their hearts.

As a result, the ministers often encouraged Zhao Mingyuan to go to the harem more, and even encouraged him to open the draft widely, and even stuffed the world's stunning beauties into his harem.

Zhao Mingyuan took the opportunity to connect confidantes from other worlds into the harem, but it did not arouse the curiosity of others.

Everyone only regarded them as Zhao Mingyuan's old friends, after all, his origin has always been a mystery.

Looking at the beauties in the harem who are either charming or beautiful or dignified or elegant, and Chunlan and Autumn Chrysanthemum have their own merits, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh, what more can a husband ask for at this point in life?

No regrets in this life!

As for whether he wanted to go to other worlds, Zhao Mingyuan shook his head with a smile.

When watching Xianxia before, Zhao Mingyuan had always wondered, why did people in the lower realm have to fly to the upper realm?

Obviously, he is invincible in the lower realm, so why do you want to go to the upper realm to be a miner or a maid?

Now that he has attained immortality and the country is eternal, why should he not be happy?

Maybe after thousands of years, Zhao Mingyuan is tired of everything and may have other ideas.

But now, he's still young, so let's enjoy it all first!

Zhao Mingyuan turned around and rushed into the pile of fat powder, leaving the heavens, all worlds, and infinite universes behind.
