Chapter 235

After taking a deep breath in the Heavenly King's Mansion, Hong Tian set off with his guards, aiming for the 50000 mass grave, which was the altar built on it.

However, this time it is different, it is not a memorial to those who died, but a ceremony to worship the heavens, and the ceremony of Hongtian's re-enthronement on the throne.

Hong Tian, dressed in Hanfu and wearing a crown on his head, ascended to the altar, and below was a column of ministers wearing Hanfu, to hell with their coats and braids.

Hong Tian announced in the ceremony of worshiping the heavens that he would re-ascend to the throne of heaven, revitalize the famous religion, and revitalize China.

Since this date, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officially abolished the Hufu, advocated the common people to wear Hanfu instead, and vowed to spread Chinese culture abroad.

Hong Tian reascended to the throne, and the whole country rejoiced.

On this day, everyone in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cheered, and the national anthem "Song of Taiping" was continuously sung in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from the Ryukyus and Taiwan in the east, to the Malay Peninsula in the south, to Singapore, to the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang in the west, and to the Tangnu Ulianghai in Mongolia in the north, countless people were chanting Long live the King of Heaven!

......

At the same time, there was also an emperor on the throne in Europe.

Kaiser Wilhelm I of the German Empire has ascended the throne!

Wilhelm I was originally the king of the Kingdom of Prussia, and he had long been eager to unify Germany and ascend the throne as emperor, and the preparations for the emperor were actually in preparation after the capture of Vienna, but the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I never caught it, refused to admit defeat and surrender and announced his withdrawal from the Austrian German Confederation.

Don't think that fame and tradition are only available in China, and they are also extremely important in the West.

Therefore, although Wilhelm I wanted to ascend to the throne of the German Emperor, he could only refrain from doing so.

Not long ago, the Prussian army finally captured the damned Franz Joseph I alive on the border between Austria and Italy, but when the Prussian army was about to send him to Vienna, the fierce Franz Joseph I committed suicide, and it is said that he did not want to bear such humiliation after hearing that Wilhelm I was going to let him retire from the throne in Vienna and give up the throne to Wilhelm I.

But there is also some gossip that Wilhelm I secretly ordered the Prussian army to move, and this matter was dressed in Europe with great disagreement, and has since become a major mystery in the First World War.

However, no matter what this is, it does not change the fact that the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I died, and the whole of Austria officially collapsed.

And Wilhelm I, King of the Kingdom of Prussia, ascended the throne as emperor in Vienna, and the German Empire was officially established, announcing that the German people had stood up from now on!

This is even more shocking than Hong Tian's return to the throne, because whether Hong Tian is renamed the Heavenly King or not, he is the Majesty of the Great Empire in the East.

And the accession of William I to the throne shook the whole of Europe and caused a global shock.

The German Empire was established, and this was not the Little German line that Europeans expected, because this German Empire was built on the ruins of the Austrian Empire, which clearly showed that the Greater German Empire, a huge German Empire, would be established in Central Europe.

Is the Holy Roman Empire resurrected?!Is an empire that will rule Europe about to be born?!

The countries of Europe were shocked, not to mention Britain, France and Turkey, which were at war with Germany, and even Germany's allies, the Russians, were quite vigilant.

In fact, Alexander II did not want Prussia to complete the unification of Germany at all, and when Prussia declared war on Aureli, although he had secretly peeped into the military strength of the two countries for many years and came to the conclusion that the Prussian army was likely to win, he never imagined that it would be a one-sided situation.

Until then, Alexander II was happy!

The strength of the Prussian army is stronger than he expected, which is a great thing, the strength of the allies, then they are more likely to win this war, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case, a unified and powerful Germany in Central Europe will be a great threat to Russia.

If the two sides were not allies now, if they were not fighting side by side, Alexander II would definitely have sent troops to intervene in the reckless actions of Wilhelm I.

But not now, Russia is at war with England, France and Turkey, and the Germans are allies, and instead of stopping Wilhelm I's actions, he must praise the other side and support him nominally, otherwise the Germans will have a dislike with him, and a rift between the allies will be troublesome.

Especially now that His Majesty in the Far East, although he declared war on Britain, France, Turkey and Austria, but in fact there was no army, and there was an absurd still war scene, which made him a fierce pit, and without the support of the Germans, the Russians may have a difficult time on the European battlefield.

So when Europe, and indeed the world, was shaken, the Russians were the first to react by congratulating the nascent German Empire.

And in the far east, Hong Tian, who had just regained the throne of the king, was also quite surprised when he heard the news, the German Empire appeared in advance, and it was still the Great German line, and the situation in Europe was probably even more chaotic, but it was naturally impossible to be afraid, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not a European country, and Germany was far away from it!

Germany is still at war, and it will take several years to grow after the war is over, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not know what it will become.

For the future of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Tian is full of confidence, the development of more than a year, so that Hong Tian is amazed, as long as China concentrates on unity and development, the huge manpower and material resources can definitely send out the terrifying power, no wonder the great man surnamed Mao in later generations, even China has not been truly reunified, can fight with the United Nations army in Korea.

The current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is larger than the China of later generations, the potential is more amazing, and the gap with the West is not as serious as that of later generations, the most important Hongtian is not like the rulers of China in later generations, those people feel the stones to cross the river and foolishly, the development and growth of China has been delayed for decades, with the insight of the Hongtian travelers, they can definitely achieve greater achievements.

Hong Tian believes that under his rule, China will grow stronger and stronger, and the gap with the West will become smaller and smaller, and it will not be long before the West will surpass it.

Therefore, Hong Tian was not worried about the emergence of the Greater German Empire, and also sent a congratulatory telegram to the past.

At the same time, he had to weigh the situation in Europe, and found that his side seemed to have a better chance of winning, Austria had already existed in name only, and after the establishment of the German Empire, I was afraid that the part of the German states that had been dependent on the Austrian Empire would be thrown into the arms of the German Empire.

Moreover, after the defeat of the Austrian Empire, the hearts of the people of the entire German Confederation will probably turn towards the German Empire, so that it may not be difficult for the German Empire to unify the whole of Germany.

The Germans are only a French opponent, I am afraid that there is no suspense in winning, maybe it will take longer, but the final result is probably still the victory of the German Empire, after all, under the leadership of Napoleon III, the quality of the army is good, and it is impossible to exert real strength.

At this time, Hong Tian not only did not have the slightest intention of helping the European allies reduce the pressure, but hoped to create some trouble for the European allies.

Because Hong Tian participated in the European War, he hoped to expand the European War and make it last longer, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom needed time to develop, if the war could last for ten or eight years, and the vitality of all European countries would be damaged, then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be able to benefit the fishermen.

Moreover, it is not a beautiful thing to abuse Britain and France in Asia, further expand the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and further enhance the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

There is nothing wrong with not being afraid of a god-like enemy, but being afraid of a pig-like teammate, and if Russia and Germany knew Hong Tian's thoughts, they would definitely vomit blood in anger.

And Hong Tian is not a pig teammate, but a stick who is bent on how to drag his teammates back!

As soon as the telegram congratulating the founding of the German Empire was sent, Hong Tian immediately began to cause trouble for his comrades.

......

In the Heavenly King's Palace, Gao Gao Hongtian looked angry and threw a congratulatory note directly.

"Smack!" The congratulatory note fell to the ground, and Hong Tian's voice had already erupted, saying: "Just a small state, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"

The Japanese ambassador Tosajima Tanetomi, who was kneeling down, looked frightened, and did not know how he had provoked this Far Eastern Majesty to anger, so he immediately kept kowtowing and saying: "Your Majesty is angry! Your Majesty is angry! We in Japan will certainly not dare to be presumptuous in front of Your Majesty." ”

The ministers below, and the ambassadors of various countries are puzzled, after Hong Tian reascended the throne, it is natural to inevitably meet with the ambassadors of various countries to celebrate, just now the ambassadors of all countries on behalf of their respective countries to celebrate, Hong Tian, the young majesty is all happy, how can it be Japan's turn to become this face?

"Haha!" Hong Tian seemed to hear the most ridiculous words, and said, "You don't dare to be presumptuous, but why do you humiliate me!

"There is no such thing!" Vice Island Tanechen was even more frightened, how could a small country in Japan withstand the wrath of the Heavenly Empire!

"Smack!" Hong Tian slapped his chair and said, "No! Then why does the monarch of your country call himself the emperor! Isn't that mocking me, just a heavenly king?!"

As soon as Hong Tian's words came out, all the ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom looked extremely angry.

And Li Xiucheng stepped forward to pick up the congratulatory note on the ground, and couldn't help roaring at a glance: "Xiaobang Er also dares to insult my Majesty the Heavenly King, and seriously regards me as China!"

The other ministers also came up to take a look, and their expressions became even more angry, glaring at the vice-island ministers as if they were about to swallow the other party alive.

At first, the ambassadors of various countries were a little confused, but when they asked, they immediately changed color.

Because the Japanese monarch called himself the emperor in the invitation, and Hong Tian was just a king, it was obviously a specification of Gao Hongtian, not to mention that not long ago, Hong Tian was just a heavenly marquis.

Isn't this a naked slap in the face?!

A small country in the East dares to humiliate a big empire that dominates the East like this, it is simply looking for death!

"Drag this Japan, no! It's the barbarians of the Japanese Kingdom who will drag it down, and the corpses will be broken into thousands of pieces!" Hong Tian's voice said with coldness.

In the howl of the devil and the wolf, Japan, no, it should be that the Japanese ambassador Vice Island Tanetomi was dragged down by the guards, and then a miserable cry came from outside the hall, and the Japanese ambassador was killed for violating the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Uliang said: "Your Majesty, you can calm your anger, Japan is just a small state, I am afraid that this envoy's dereliction of duty will cause this misunderstanding, and now this envoy has paid the price of his insult to His Majesty, and it is enough to impose a small punishment on Japan." ”

Hong Tian looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile, the Russian ambassador interjected at this time to help the Japanese intercede, obviously he didn't want the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to start a war in Asia and countries other than Britain, France and Turkey, adding enemies to Germany and Russia, although Japan is weak, but the north is close to Russia, if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Japan go to war, then the Russians will have to be more or less guarded.

Moreover, now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is playing the trick of static war with Britain and France, once the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Japan go to war, who knows how long His Majesty will delay the plan to attack India.

Hong Tian nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, then I will be magnanimous, as long as Japan changes the name of the country to the Wa Kingdom, and the monarch surrenders himself to the Wa Marquis, and expresses his submission to my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is willing to be my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom vassal state, then I will not be guilty of the past." ”

Hearing this, Ura Gara frowned, this condition seems to be a bit harsh, but when he thinks of Japan, a small state of Yuer, offending such a huge thing as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is also appropriate to suffer some humiliation, if His Majesty the Tsar is so insulted by Japan, the Russian army will definitely march east to kill the Japanese.

Thinking about it like this, he felt that Hong Tian's move was understandable, and he immediately did not object, in fact, this was the internal affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Heaven, and he said a little bit about one or two of them, and he said irresponsible remarks in front of His Majesty of the Alliance three or four times, then I am afraid that His Majesty of the Alliance will not be disliked, although this alliance has some pitfalls, but it is still not too good.

In this way, the punishment of Japan was decided, and the celebration of Hong Tian's return to the throne continued.

In the midst of the jubilation of the whole country, a small piece of news also spread in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, that is, the Japanese in the east actually humiliated His Majesty the Heavenly King in front of the ambassadors of various countries during the banquet of the Heavenly King, which was simply a contempt for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it was really a crime that deserved death.

Although the barbarian who humiliated His Majesty in public was broken into pieces without any suspense, the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still did not understand the hatred in their hearts, and they hated Japan very much.

Moreover, a lot of old accounts have also been turned over, such as the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty, the Battle of Wanli Korea, the Eastern Invasion of the Ming Dynasty, etc., Japan's intention to plot against China has spread to the public, and what the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hates the most is that not long ago, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sent envoys to the surrounding subject countries to form an East Asian defense alliance, Japan actually refused.

It is a contempt for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that a small state in Japan actually said that it was not a subject state of China, refused to join the East Asian Defense Alliance, and bombed the envoy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back!

Coupled with the public humiliation of His Majesty the Heavenly King this time, it is simply an unforgivable sin!

The subjects of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom believed that only His Majesty the benevolent Heavenly King could endure such humiliation from the Japanese, and if there had been another person as the Heavenly King, they would have sent troops to destroy this unknown Japan.

However, soon Hong Tian couldn't bear it anymore.

Because Japan did not do what he said, although it publicly apologized, it refused to change the name of Japan, let alone submit to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and become a subject state of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

You must know that none of the countries that became vassals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were annexed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Japan was still glad that it did not agree to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and join the East Asian Defense Alliance! Otherwise, Japan might have followed in the footsteps of Siam, Burma, Korea, and other countries and became a province of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Japan's refusal made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom angry, and Hong Tian naturally became even more violent.

"I am a barbarian country, but a small state of Yuer! I am a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a prosperous Heavenly Empire, originally magnanimous, and I want to influence it to be subordinate, but how can I expect that its wolf ambition and disobedience to education are really too deceitful! It is not that my Heavenly Empire is not merciful, but that the Japanese people are really unforgivable! I specially ordered the Taiping Army to go east and destroy the Japanese Kingdom!" The roar of the flood sky made the subjects of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom excited, this is the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and the barbarians should be like this, those who dare to be arrogant will destroy the country all!

The navy of the Taiping army did not defend the coast anymore, and the British did not dare to attack anyway, except for some surveillance of the British navy, the others rushed to join the conquest fleet.

At the beginning of 1866, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ruled by Hongtian was the first to wage war against the Japanese before it was officially at war with Britain and France.

In the Tsushima Strait, the weak navy of the Japanese people was directly crushed by the powerful Taiping navy, and the entire army was annihilated.

The Japanese are too weak!

Although the navy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is actually not strong, although a lot of new ships have been added during this time, it is far from being the opponent of the British and French navies, but against a Japanese navy that can't even build its own ships, it naturally seems very strong, it is simply to destroy the decay!

The Taiping Navy completely destroyed the Japanese Navy, and easily obtained sea supremacy, and there was basically no suspense in this war.

Even the navy can't beat the Taiping Army, so the army should not have extravagant hopes, because the Taiping Army is already recognized as the strongest in Asia, a small Japanese country, and the little samurai are not wiped out!

Needless to say, a landing battle in Edo Bay (now Tokyo Bay), with more than 30,000 Taiping troops landing troops, directly annihilated the main force of the Wa Shogunate.

Subsequently, nearly 200,000 troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom landed in various parts of the Wa Kingdom and annihilated the rebellious Japanese warriors in various places.

Although His Majesty the benevolent Heavenly King has always asked the Taiping army to exercise restraint and not to hurt the innocent too much, the angry Taiping army could not hear it, and the slogan of killing all the Japanese people shook the heavens and the earth.

The corpses of the Japanese people everywhere are piled up, and it is simply a purgatory on earth!

Later generations of descendants of the former Japanese people have vigorously scolded the people of North and South Korea, and they grit their teeth with hatred whenever they talk about them.

Why?

This was because most of the atrocities at that time were committed by the newly annexed Taiping Army of North and South Korea.

Naturally, it was impossible for the elite Taiping army to send troops to the Japanese state, and they had to defend against the British and French armies in India and North Vietnam, so many of them called on the people in North and South Korea to participate in the war.

North and South Korea are the closest to the Wakoku, and the local people can easily adapt to the local climatic conditions and fight immediately without affecting their combat effectiveness.

You can imagine how the Taiping army living in the Malay Peninsula could adapt to the northern region such as the Wa Kingdom, and the Taiping troops in the Mobei region of Mongolia would fall ill immediately when they arrived in a humid place like the Wa Kingdom, and they might die directly if they failed to adapt to the environment.

Historically, when the Republic of China participated in World War I, the European battlefield recruited laborers in China, and also recruited them in Shandong, which has a similar climate to Europe, for this reason, otherwise they would definitely recruit laborers in Guangdong, wouldn't it be more economical to save freight?

The people of the two provinces of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, under the rule of the original brutal Joseon Dynasty, lived a hungry life, and now belong to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and finally have three meals to eat and wear.

Hula's army of 200,000 is formed!

However, recruits are recruits, far less disciplined than the old Taiping Army, and the commander Zeng Guoquan was originally known for his brutality, and there were not too many constraints on the new Taiping Army composed of these North and South Korean people, so the military discipline of this conquest Taiping Army was really not very good.

The result can be imagined, these Taiping troops did whatever they wanted in the Wa Kingdom, and Hong Tian's words were directly regarded as wind in their ears.

According to historical records, when His Majesty Hong Tian of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom learned of the true situation of the Wa Kingdom and restrained the Taiping troops in North and South Korea to stop this chaos, the people of the Wa Kingdom would have been slaughtered a long time ago.

In addition to various plagues and diseases later, less than one in ten of the Japanese people survived, and most of the survivors were courtesans who were taken as concubines by the Taiping Army of North and South Korea.

It is said that after Hong Tian learned this, some tears appeared in his eyes, and he looked compassionate, but he couldn't speak, and seemed to be overwhelmed with grief.

Of course, no one knows that Hong Tian is not moved and sad for the people of the country, but weeps bitterly in his heart, the Sino-Japanese War, the war of aggression against China, and the great revenge of countless dead Chinese have finally been avenged!

In his previous life, whenever he saw these histories, his blood would boil, and he couldn't wait to travel through time and space, return to those times and kill the Japanese invaders, but he couldn't imagine that although those dreams could not be realized, but he returned to the time when the Japanese were not yet strong, and Hong Tian naturally would not let them have the slightest possibility of growth.

The kingdom of the Japanese is over!

The Japanese people are almost dead!

From then on, the Wa Kingdom was also removed from the face of the earth!

Naturally, Hong Tian was not polite, and divided Japan into two provinces with Kyoto as the capital in the north and Edo as the capital in the south.
