Chapter 19: The Rush of Time

The mortgage was quickly negotiated.

After all, with the current financial situation of Britain, it can't afford to pay back the money owed to the Hua Dynasty anyway, not to mention that there is interest on that thing, and judging from the current prestige of the Hua Dynasty, Charles I will not dare to default.

Then you can only exchange the mortgage, and the tax period of the mortgaged is as low as ten years, and the highest is as much as forty years.

It is conceivable that the UK's finances will be tight for quite some time after that.

At this time, the ministers below suggested that Charles I should abolish the additional taxes imposed on the people during the war.

"Your Majesty, the people are so heavy that they can't lift their heads! There are already some bad signs among the people. ”

That's what they said.

The King of England suddenly felt a headache......

On this side, the instructor corps has completed their mission and is ready to return home.

They all had big smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Captain! I heard that you have made a great contribution and have been made a viscount! ”

Someone congratulated the commander of the instructor corps, that is, a division commander of the former Chinese Army, and the division commander also had an indelible smile on his face.

The instructor corps had their own rewards for this battle, and he was the most and was directly awarded the title of viscount.

Although the actual power of these nobles of the Hua Dynasty has been greatly attenuated, it is also a symbol of glory after all.

However, just as they were about to leave, the king's personal attendant arrived, and he said:

"Dear Zhang (division commander's surname), the king hopes that you can stay and continue to serve my king, and he wants to hire you as his war adviser."

The division commander was stunned, obviously not expecting this layer.

He saw the ambassador on the other side, who had come with his attendant, trying to give him a look, so he pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"Okay."

And the tax officer of the Hua Dynasty soon arrived.

The most prosperous areas of the port and the city have built tall buildings, and the plaque of "Dahua Consulate in XX" stands proudly on it, and a large flag with gold characters on a black background flutters on the top.

At the gate, two soldiers in cyan armor stood straight.

A steady stream of taxes and wealth sailed to the East through the consulate.

"To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea, I don't even think the city belongs to me."

The mayor of a city said. He stood in his mansion and looked out at the buildings in the distance.

Having lost the power to collect taxes, the power to rule the city was virtually divided.

"What's more, the operation of these ports and cities is now entirely funded by the central government...... On the contrary, the burden is heavier. ”

"This is a mortgage, otherwise Hua Chao would not have helped us in the first place."

"Who left us without money?"

Behind him, the deputy said with a soft sigh.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

16th year of Dahua, November.

On that day, bad news spread throughout Nanjing, the capital of Dahua.

Shoufu Lin Yan passed away.

This legendary prime minister, who led the Hua Dynasty through the bloody storms of the last years of Wuxing, went through the crowd of heroes, promulgated many wise policies, made great contributions to the development of Dahua, and was widely supported by the people, and now died in his mansion.

Yan Quan came in person with the dignity of Emperor Dahua and wept bitterly in front of his father's coffin.

The emperor's crying echoed in the palace, making the listeners cry sadly, all of whom said that the emperor's benevolence and filial piety had come to this point, and it was even more sad about the fall of this generation of virtuous ministers.

On that day, the people of the city spontaneously went to see each other off.

Posthumously crowned as the king, he was called "Wenzheng".

Of course, Yan Ling didn't really die, he just retired behind the scenes.

In the past few years, Yan Quan has grown tremendously, and has the ability that an emperor should have, and it is time to retire.

His identity on the surface is almost the same lifespan, so he ordered the news of his death to be reported.

Just like the past three hundred years, he retreated into the background, usually did not pay attention to government affairs, and even the eldest son of the past was no longer brought with him, living his own leisurely life, only appearing at critical times, pointing out the next course of the dynasty's progress.

And in the intervening time, a lot has happened.

"Duanzong Records" (Wuxing) and "Emperor Chu Records" (Hongguang) were compiled.

Because "the king of the previous generation of the Xing Dynasty, the ceremony is not called, and the number is not called the sect", Hongguang does not have a temple number.

"Sorrow" is a plain word, although it is not a compliment, but it is more of a sympathy. When Hongguang ascended the throne, the world was already in turmoil, and this pot could not be buckled on his head, but after all, the Ming Dynasty died during his reign, and it was not possible to say that there was no responsibility at all, so he finally chose this nickname, also known as "Emperor Mingchou".

At this time, although it has been a while since the death of the Ming Dynasty, fortunately, it is not too long, and Wang Chongzu has not destroyed some classics in Beijing, and according to the records of living notes and other records, it can still be completed quickly.

However, "History of the Ming Dynasty" is not so easy, this is nearly 300 years of time.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that it took 94 years before and after the Qing Dynasty, even if it was delayed due to the war in the early stage, even if it was officially started from Kangxi, it would take 60 years, which is really a bit too long, but if you want to repair a good boutique, you still need more than ten years.

For example, the thirteen years of "Historical Records" and the seventeen years of "New Tang Book".

Of course, it's okay to be really fast, for example, the history books of Song Liao and Jin Yuan, none of them were compiled for more than three years, but the result is "no wonder it is sloppy and absurd, and it is the worst historian".

Of course, Yan Quan is planning to repair a fine book if he wants to repair it, so it will take a while, at least the next eight years.

And the Liuwei area has been pacified for some years.

Luo Rucai finally died, and after the Liuwei area was basically pacified, in the final decisive battle, he finally couldn't run out again.

The Chinese cavalry besieged him and dozens of his last soldiers on a hill, and he killed himself in despair.

Zuo Liangyu did not die of illness like the original time and space, but he was also dead at this time.

In one battle, he was exposed as the few remaining troops were scattered, and he was shot and killed by a sharpshooter in the Chinese army.

Other rogues also died under the iron hooves of the Chinese army, casting the prestige of this army.

Time blew away the last traces of the Central Plains period, and the years flowed like a long river, burying the old sand and stones with new mud.

Dahua's territory is also expanding in the flow of the river.

However, this vast territory has also dragged down a lot of energy and material resources of the imperial court, and the Hua Dynasty has no longer been as sharp as before in recent years, but mainly based on stability.
