Hetuala City, this city called Xingjing by Dajin, has the best expectations of all the Jurchens. Nurhachi named this place Xingjing in the hope that it would become the place where the Jurchen ancestors would rise.

Standing on the top of the city, Dorgon's face was as pale as water, and the breeze blew across his cheeks, giving the great Khan of Houjin a sense of maturity and stability. For Dorgon, these six months seemed like an eternity.

A nightmare that lingered around him for a long time and couldn't go away.

Five months ago, in the Battle of Fushun, all eight thousand and eight bannermen were wiped out, and the eldest son of Dabeile Daishan, Yue Tuo, died in Fushun City. When the news came, the Jurchens were shocked, and in addition to being surprised, they were worried.

.

"Khan, everything is ready!" Dabeile Daishan walked to Dorgon's side, bowed slightly and said in a low tone.

At this time, Daishan no longer had the high spirits of the past, and he looked older, even though he was not very old. The death of his eldest son made Daishan heartbroken. The dilemma faced by the Jurchens made him

My hair turns gray due to worry.

"Has this day come yet?" Dorgon looked up at the sky, with a look of reluctance and deep frustration on his face.

Thinking back to the battle a month ago, in which countless Eight Banners soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield, Dorgon felt that his heart ached. After Fushun was lost, the Eight Banners made up their minds that they must not let the Ming army cross the Liao River, otherwise Hetu

Ala could not be saved. Dorgon naturally understood this, and he did so.

The entire force of Daikin was gathered, only 40,000 people. This was the maximum strength that Daikin could show. Among them were many children who had just turned sixteen. That station could be said to be extremely tragic. Ming's military weapons

The anger was so sharp that the children of the Eight Banners simply couldn't muster the courage to fight.

As soon as they came into contact, there were huge casualties, and then there was a huge rout. The Eight Banners disciples, who were originally invincible, were like paper tigers, broken by a poke. They fled back to Hetuala in embarrassment. Dorgon was hit by a strong

shrouded in sadness.

After everyone's discussion, retreat became Dajin's only choice, to go north! Changbai Mountain, perhaps also to the north. Find a place where Dajin can settle down. At this moment, Dorgon thought of the past

The names of the once-splendid nations, the Xiongnu or the Turks, those powerful ones, were all recorded in the long river of history.

To preserve the inheritance of the Jurchens, Dorgon warned himself countless times! The tribesmen who are accustomed to a stable life do not know whether they can withstand the harsh living environment. Perhaps after the baptism of blood and fire, their tribesmen can rebuild their lives.

stand up.

"Sweat me!" Daishan reminded him again. This was his last chance. If he didn't leave at this time, he might not be able to leave!

Looking back at Daishan, Dorgon nodded slowly and said, "It's time, it's time for us to leave! I don't know if our people will still have a chance to set foot on this land. Maybe there will be a chance."

I don’t know if I will be able to see it again in my lifetime.”

When Sun Chengzong led his people to Hetuala, the entire city had become an empty city. Standing at the door of the north gate, Sun Chengzong held the sword in his hand and looked towards the north with a sullen face.

"Commander, I caught a few tongues. The Jurchens ran away and ran north! Should we pursue them? They dragged their families with them. Our cavalry will definitely be able to catch up." Lu Xiangsheng stood behind Sun Chengzong with his face on his face.

With a bit of unwillingness, he said in a deep voice.

Because of what happened to his parents, Lu Xiangsheng hated Jiannu deeply and showed no mercy. Lu's name as King of Hell was already spread. At this time, seeing Sun Chengzong stop in his tracks, Lu Xiangsheng didn't understand. He immediately came

Find your own teacher.

Sun Chengzong glanced at his disciple and sighed helplessly in his heart. This disciple was good at everything. He was talented in both literature and martial arts. He was always a good choice, but his murderous aura was too strong. But this had something to do with his experience.

.Sun Chengzong didn’t know how to solve him for a while.

After thinking about it, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "It will be September soon. The further north you go, the colder it will be. The soldiers can withstand it, but the war horses can't. Once there is heavy snow, there will be problems in using firearms. Once the slaves are built,

If we set up an ambush, the gain will outweigh the loss. Now that we can drive the Jiannu northward, our goal has been achieved. It is hard to say whether they can survive such a cold winter. If they want to continue heading north, it will not be until spring next year.

"

As a commander-in-chief, Sun Chengzong did not need to explain these things to Lu Xiangsheng, but as a teacher, Sun Chengzong hoped that his disciples could understand his painstaking efforts.

Lu Xiangsheng is not a stupid person. There is a saying in the art of war that when enemies are defeated, they should not pursue them. Now that Jiannu has retreated to the north, it is indeed not suitable to pursue him. If the weather permits, that's fine. He has nothing to say at this time.

After bowing respectfully to Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng withdrew. He still had to arrange for the army to advance north, and this matter could not be delayed.

In Beijing, in the Forbidden City, Emperor Apocalypse is opening the memorial in his hand. This is a very detailed memorial since the opening of the sea in the seventh year of Apocalypse. With the expansion of maritime trade, Ming Dynasty's trade suddenly became prosperous, and merchants began to enter the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Walk everywhere.

"In half a year, Fuzhou Sea Trade has collected 20 million taels of silver in taxes. Sea trade is indeed profitable." Emperor Tianqi smiled calmly. All other things can be solved, as long as they can make money.

"Your Majesty, this is a new commercial tax jointly determined by the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department. The commercial tax has been re-established according to the different commodities and the amount of transactions." The first assistant academician of the cabinet handed the memorial in his hand to Emperor Tianqi, with a look on his face.

He said with a somewhat excited expression.

He nodded slowly, took the memorial, and began to read it slowly. As if he remembered something, Emperor Tianqi raised his head and said, "Is the third batch of shipping fleet arriving soon?"

"Back to the emperor, we are almost here!" Xu Guangqi stood up and said respectfully.

Since the Battle of the Taiwan Strait, Emperor Tianqi organized a huge fleet and headed towards Southeast Asia along the route that Zheng He used to sail to the West. In this process, the Portuguese played a big role. After signing an agreement with the Ming Dynasty

After the treaty of mutual sharing of overseas colonies, the Ming Dynasty began to legitimately take back the colonies that once belonged to Portugal overseas.

Due to constant natural disasters, the food supply of the Ming Dynasty has been in a very tight state. Emperor Tianqi sent a fleet to transport food back from South Asia. Moreover, the agricultural layout of rice in the south and corn in the north has been almost completed. I believe that it will take a few years.

The food is enough to eat.

Because there was more food, the price of food fell again and again. As a result, the price of land also began to fall. I believe that this will soon slow down the speed of land annexation. Emperor Apocalypse was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to re-divide the land, and soon

It’s time to practice dividing the land into acres.

In the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Emperor Tianqi began to promote a new woolen textile industry in addition to coal mining and gold mining. After the emergence of textile machines, this industry will develop quickly. Once it reaches a large scale, Emperor Tianqi will be the leader of Mongolia.

When it comes to action, driven by huge interests, this kind of aggression is unstoppable.

The battle report from Liaodong soon reached Beijing, and Emperor Tianqi finally let go of the big stone in his heart. After seven years in this country, he finally completed the layout. The next step is the take-off and rise of the empire. He will spend his whole life

time to proceed.

In the winter of the seventh year of Apocalypse, the university arrived as scheduled, and it was bigger than every winter. Wrapped in a large cloak, Emperor Apocalypse walked on the snow with a somewhat joyful look on his face.

"Xu Aiqing, have you ever tried it? Is it really possible?" Emperor Tianqi looked back at Xu Guangqi and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Guangqi had unconcealable excitement on his face, his eyebrows were trembling, and all the muscles on his face were gathered together, and he said: "Your Majesty, we have already tested it, and there is no problem. But there are no railway tracks yet, so I don't know what the real

How will it run? But I think there will be no problem."

Emperor Apocalypse nodded slowly. This was the Ming Dynasty's first great achievement after the invention of the steam engine, the steam locomotive! As a later generation, Emperor Apocalypse was very aware of the role of the steam engine, and of course he also knew what the appearance of the train meant.

Now that the train has appeared, the armored warship is not far away, and the era of dominance of the Ming Empire is coming soon!

Looking at the big guy in front of him, Emperor Tianqi had a look of emotion on his face. He remembered very clearly that there was a steam locomotive on his campus. It was a retired locomotive. It was once his favorite in the university.

Place to go.

Gently touching the cold steel, Emperor Tianqi felt that it had warmth, a temperature that made his blood boil.

The seventh year of the Apocalypse passed quickly. This year was very important and a crucial year for the Ming Dynasty.

At the great court meeting in the eighth year of Apocalypse, Emperor Apocalypse walked onto his throne wearing a royal robe and a solemn expression.

"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" The shouts resounded throughout the Forbidden City, and the ministers knelt on the ground, facing the emperor they admired the most, the most powerful man in the world.

"My dear friends!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "It has been seven years since I ascended the throne, and this is the eighth year. In the past seven years, I have not dared to slack off at all.

, the Ming Dynasty has become what it is today. Now that the prosperous age is approaching, all the lovers have contributed indispensably, and the names of all the lovers must be there in history. I will never belittle myself, nor be blindly arrogant. There is still a way for the Ming Dynasty to go

Far away, I share my encouragement with all my dear friends. Nowadays, the national power is getting stronger and stronger. If I expand my territory and conquer the whole world, I will be ashamed of my ancestors! I have decided to change my Yuan Dynasty to Yuanguang. I hope all my dear friends will understand.

My wish!"

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!" The minister below knelt down on the ground again and shouted three times: "Long live the emperor!"

Yuanguang, the second reign name in history, was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to change the Yuan Dynasty. It also has an important significance, that is, the Yuanguang decision! Now that Emperor Tianqi has used this reign name, it is undoubtedly announcing to the world that the Ming Empire will be from now on.

Say goodbye to the past and start everything anew.

Standing at the top of the Forbidden City, Emperor Tianqi looked at the city of Beijing with an expressionless face and loudly sang the wind song: The wind is rising and the clouds are flying!
