In fact, the root cause of the half-heartedness of the Guan Ning Army was not credit... After the right-wing cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army attacked, what slowly emerged behind the line was the long-prepared Dongjiang Town Heavy Cavalry Regiment.

The total number of the Dongjiang Corps has reached [-]. Judging from the location and attack route, the target is precisely the Guanning Army.

Panting heavily, he took off his helmet, looked into the distance and cursed again and again, as if he was a sorry Dongjiang rebel, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou looked at each other, with cold sweat rolling off their foreheads.

They are all soldiers.Thinking back now, once they led their troops to attack the right wing of the Northern Expeditionary Army, wasn't it the Dongjiang heavy cavalry that they ran into head-on?

"Quickly go to the commander-in-chief to ask for credit!"

Rejoicing, the two hurriedly urged their horses to run towards Han Xiaobo's army.

Let's talk about Li Zicheng, since he left the army, he led the remnants to the capital.

In real history, after Li Zicheng was defeated, he also turned around and returned to the capital.Then he took the silver winter melon he had looted in a carriage, and fled back to Shaanxi in a panic.

This time, due to Qingqi chasing soldiers, the remnant of Li Zicheng had no choice but to hurry up and flee all the way.In the evening, Kankan arrived at the foot of the capital before all the horses fell to death.

At that time, flags were planted above the head of Yongdingmen.

Zuo Banner said: "The man of Yongping County was granted the imperial edict."

Right Banner said: The Fourth Division of the Northern Expedition.

In the middle, there is a large "Li" character flag, waving in the wind.

The top of the Yongding Gate was also full of people at the moment.Not only the soldiers from the Chunlei Battalion, but all adult men in the capital who could afford weapons had all gathered on the walls around the capital.

Airtight.

Having their house stolen and such a large pile of winter melons detained, the remnant soldiers in the city are extremely decadent.

Looking at the venomous eyes shot down from the top of the wall, and the crazy but happy yelling, only Li Chuangwang could afford to let it go, and continued to pull the horse expressionlessly: "Let's go."

But where to go?Now Li Zicheng's remnant troops have only a few dozen riders left, and the horses are exhausted. Horses have been killed along the way, and there are still plenty of chasing soldiers behind... The so-called hopeless situation refers to the present.

Looking around from the corner of the eye at dusk, Li Zicheng couldn't think of much to do now, so he pointed in the direction of Majiabao on the front of the guide, and urged his horse away.

Majiapu is a very small castle.When Jianlu entered the customs before, the people in Majiabao died and escaped, but now the fort has long been abandoned.Finally, before dark, Li Zicheng fled into the fort with the last bit of horsepower.

The following process is very familiar to everyone in the escape over the years.Shake the well to fetch water, burn the window and start a fire, cut up the dead horse meat and stew it, and eat a full meal with dry food to restore physical strength.

It is night, everything is silent, and the sky is full of stars.Except for the sound of horseshoes passing by from time to time in the distance, it seems that Majiabao did not pursue soldiers to investigate, but it gave the fugitives a rare night of rest.

On the second day, when Dongfang was graying, the men and horses who had recovered their strength quietly pushed open the gate of the fort, preparing to embark on the journey of escape again.

Those who greeted them were tens of thousands of silent cavalry who had already packed the surroundings with water.

Gaixia was besieged and besieged on all sides, but that was all.

Li Chuangwang, who knew nothing about the one-on-one VIP exclusive drone tracking overhead, really wanted to give up at this moment.

So, in this plane, Li Zicheng, who was only 30 years old, tightly squeezed the knife in his hand, intending to fight until the last moment he could breathe.

Li Zicheng in history can be said to be the most resolute rebel in the past 5000 years of China.

His whole life, from the moment he took the lead, was always in a cycle of fighting, losing, making a comeback, fighting again, and failing again.

The so-called "fleeing alone", "losing a big loss", all kinds of failures that others can hardly bear, are nothing in front of Li Zicheng's steely nerves.

Even if he was besieged by officers and soldiers, he would feign surrender and rebel.

Even if he was kicked out of the capital, he was still defeated and killed all the way.Until the moment of his death at the foot of Jiugong Mountain in Hubei, Li Zicheng was still fighting the local farmers.

This is a real indomitable person.In him, the stubborn and tenacious Lengwa spirit of the man in Guanzhong was interpreted to the extreme.

The next moment, just as Li Zicheng was about to make a suicide charge, a gap opened in the cavalry formation opposite him, and a horse slowly emerged from it.

Immediately oncoming was a young man in a black gauze robe.

"National Division!"

Not caring about anything else, Li Zicheng rode out and welcomed the smiling national teacher into the castle.

"Why did the national teacher abandon me?"

"The national teacher's departure is a matter of success or failure!"

"Now that Zicheng is desperate, does the national teacher have a clever plan?"

"The poor Taoist came here just to point out a bright path for the King."

Zhou Yi, who had a beard and a smile, took out a letter from his sleeve while speaking.

Li Zicheng then tore open the envelope.

"Become my younger brother, seeing words as faces."

"I know you are a persevering person."

"You may have misunderstood the new country, and you don't know that our goal is the sea of ​​stars."

"We still lacked communication before. Even Chongzhen, I can promise him to be bright and upright, and I will not be a vassal if I write a letter."

"For a pioneering talent like you, how could I be so small?"

"If you are willing, I swear, I will definitely arrange a place where 'water plants are plentiful, fish leap and dragons fly' for you to display your talents."

"Take your brothers to lay down a piece of land."

"I and the country will give you money."

"Maybe you will see me with the courtesy of a vassal king, and the vassal state will not listen to the announcement."

After a long time, Li Zicheng raised his head in disbelief, and stared into the eyes of the national teacher.

Zhou Yi was still smiling with his beard twisted, and nodded slowly: "It's the emperor's personal letter."

On December [-], [-], Li Zicheng, Emperor of Dashun, surrendered Cao Yan to the suburbs of Beijing.

Chapter 730 Closed and closed to the country (finale)

First Emperor's Calendar: [-] A.D.

Old calendar: AD [-].

The time came to the end of December.Due to the elimination of Li Zicheng's troops and the entry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, normal order was quickly restored inside and outside the capital.

Han Xiaobo, who was sitting in the capital, immediately ordered the main force of the Northern Expedition to move to the front line of Shanhaiguan.

Seeing this situation, even if they were unwilling, the Guanning Group headed by Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui finally bowed their heads in front of the Italian artillery and handed over the command of the army.

Then it's the normal process.

All the family members of farmers and soldiers who the Guanning Group hoarded outside the customs were all relocated to the south of the Yellow River for resettlement.Among them, no less than 50% of the new immigrants were assigned to the new Matai area.

After the regular soldiers of the Guanning Group were selected and eliminated, they all participated in military training again, and then dispersed into various departments of the Northern Army.

The senior generals of the Guan Ning Group, who are willing to change jobs, can return to the local area to become a rich man, or go to the south to invest in national immigration development projects.

Those who are willing to stay in the army will go back to the military academy for training, and will be reassigned to command positions after they come out.

At the same time as the Guanning Group was being reorganized, a 5000-man reorganized cavalry division was dispatched from the Northern Expedition Army to attack Huanglong and Shengjing (Shenyang).

After entering the customs, the Qing Dynasty, which had destroyed more than 12 troops in one breath, had already become an empty shell by this time.When the cavalry division fought over, the city was empty, and the remaining Manchus retreated to the birthplace of Changbai Mountain.

Seeing this situation, Han Xiaobo immediately issued a report, suggesting that the Ministry of the Army appoint Yongping Hou Li Jichun as the commander of the Liaodong Theater, and lead [-] troops to sit in Shengjing for a long time.While going through Liaodong, he waited for an opportunity to clear up the Manchu tribes in Heiji.

When these things were done, the time had come to the spring of [-], which was the second year of Tianhua.

This year, the Great Yan Kingdom has basically mastered the administrative power in the traditional country.At the same time as the smooth handover internally, externally, a certain force that freed up its hands finally showed its fangs.

At the beginning of the second year, the emperor ordered Admiral Mu Longcheng to lead the newly formed Seven Seas Fleet to Manila on the grounds that he was helping the natives to fight against the heavenly soldiers.

In the ensuing artillery battle in Manila Bay, twelve Spanish armed merchant ships were wiped out.The Seven Seas Fleet began bombarding Manila.

The artillery battle lasted more than a month.In the end, the city of Manila hung a white flag and surrendered, and the Kingdom of Yan later established the province of Luzon with Manila as its capital.

On the day of the surrender of the city of Manila, in the far and cold north, the royal capital of Joseon, received an incomparably cold decree.

It comes from the will of the heavenly kingdom, and the content is to ask guilt: the co-lord of the sea, the sage Tianhua Emperor ascended the throne, and a Ming emperor who has not been in power for 3000 years. The small country of North Korea dares to send only a team of tribute envoys to the DPRK?

The next paragraph of the imperial decree directly stated: order the king of North Korea Li Ji, his eldest son Li Wang, the second son Li Hao, and the northern and southern two groups Jin Yu, Li Gui and other current dignitaries to form a delegation to come to the capital of Dayan to pay tribute in person.

Such a domineering and tyrannical imperialist act shocked, angered and feared the North Korean monarchs and ministers.Then in May of the second year of Tianhua, a large-scale tribute mission was formed again, led by two groups of important ministers from the north and the south, to meet Emperor Dayan in the trip, intending to explain the change.

When the North Korean mission entered Beijing, it happened that Emperor Dayan issued an edict: the former Annan Metropolitan Envoy attached to the country, and the seventh emperor of the Mo Dynasty, Mo Jingkuan, was the founder of the country, and he had a fief, a hereditary Danshu iron certificate, descendants Various rewards such as attending the council.

At the same time, the imperial edict expressly stated: Annan Province will be newly established from now on.

The next day, Emperor Tianhua, who saw the list of North Korean missions, was furious, and "wielded his sword at the case": "Zhu Zi'an dares to deceive me!"

After the Korean mission was expelled, the emperor issued an order to attack the court on the grounds of "no tribute after years".

In June of that year, the main force of the Seven Seas Fleet, which had just returned to Shanghai for repairs, sailed retrograde to the city of Pyongyang via the Datong River, and the battleships fired their guns.

At the same time, in the northeast theater of Shenyang, the cavalry division led by Major General Mei Fuxi also crossed the Yalu River to the east and attacked the court by land.

All the way, the army of cutting down the North Korean army was like a broken bamboo, and they went to Pyongyang in three days.When the follow-up cavalry arrived, the main force of the fleet broke in from the Han River again, attacking Seoul by land and water.

In this battle, since the king Li Yu surrendered, all the cities were broken and captured.

Emperor Tianhua then issued a decree: the title of King Li was cut, the whole family was demoted to common people, and the Korean province was established.

……

While conquering east and west, Dayan Kingdom took the step of geographical discovery.

In August of the following year, two steam pioneering fleets with destinations of San Francisco and the Cape of Good Hope departed from Shanghai Port at the same time.

In June of the third year of Tianhua, South America, Machala, at the mouth of the Amazon.

Small boats coming and going are shuttling back and forth, unloading supplies from the large fleet on the sea to the shore.At the same time, a group of people stood by the river, looking at the magnificent tropical rainforest in front of them, silently.

"How about it, the environment is not bad! The water and grass are plump... The emperor didn't cover it randomly!"

Wearing a tulle bamboo hat, the nameless people who traveled through the crowd faced the mosquitoes flying all over the sky, and Li Zicheng, who was wearing a denim overalls and a fan Yang hat beside him, gave Amway: "Look at this grass, it grows so well, and there is nowhere to stay! It is better than Shaanxi That loess nest is much better!"

Li Zicheng, who had been trained in field knowledge before, looked at the terrifying tropical jungle in front of him, with a dull expression, and murmured: "The aquatic plants are plump, and the fish leap and the dragon soars... The aquatic plants are plump, and the fish leap and the dragon soar?"

"The fish are also very active!"

In order to prove the sincerity of Emperor Cao, the nameless traveler who was engaged in the fruit business in Brazil "before his death" hurriedly had a live chicken put on a long pole, cut a knife, and hung it in the air on the river.

In an instant, a magnificent school of sharp-toothed fish leaped from the river.In less than 20 seconds, the skeleton of the live chicken is left.Even so, there are still quite a few fish hanging on the chicken rack, clenching their mouths tightly!

"Look how high you can jump!"

As if to make a footnote for the emperor's golden words, the next moment, dozens of vanguard troops entered the forest to search, and dragged out a big snake that was seven or eight feet long and as thick as an adult: "My lord, look quickly, this is probably Mr. Storyteller!" The horned dragon in its mouth, right?"

"Hahaha." The nameless people who traveled through the world clapped their hands: "Now we're all alive."

"Hurry up, send me back to the big boat." After finishing speaking, the buddy climbed into the small boat while chasing mosquitoes: "It seems that there are Portuguese in the north, and Indians in the forest, and they have gold dust in their hands... King Li, you can figure it out, you are good at torturing!"

Looking at the nameless people who were running away in a hurry, Li Zicheng, who was bathed in the tropical monsoon, shouted: "My lord, can you send me to San Francisco?"

There was a gloating laugh in the wind: "You want to eat farts! San Francisco is now a hot spot for development. You guys have caused anger and grievances in China, and the emperor is not easy to explain. Just play here with peace of mind!"

……

At the same time when the geographical development movement was in full swing, in June of the third year of Tianhua, the fleet was billowing with black smoke, spread all over Tokyo Bay, and the thick naval guns were aimed at palaces in Kamakura and Tokyo.

A "conspiracy" is going on on the second-generation [-]-ton battleship Fuyuan.

Old friends from across the board, two Japanese businessmen who cooperated well when they were senior officers: Higashino Kamitoru and Nishiyama Katatake, are in the cabin, having a happy chat with Han Xiaobo, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army.

Over the years, thanks to the blessings they met in the wild, the two retainers Higashino Kamitoru and Nishiyama Katatake have brought endless benefits to the big businessmen behind them.Today, these companies are the top chaebols in Japan, with huge influence.

Prior to this, the burning fire that ignited in the city of Kyoto and the blood of the female めいしょう clan made the people of the island country understand what is called the cruelty of industrialization.

Today, on the battleship in Tokyo Bay, two good friends representing the emerging bourgeoisie reached an agreement with the Japanese army... In the next few days, they will cooperate with the landing force to end the decadent shogunate structure and usher in a new era for the islanders. a new emperor.

At the end of the discussion, considering that it is inevitable that people will be scolded as traitors in the future, the two good friends who have traveled through the crowd.In the end, I decided to change my name, and by the way, separate from the original main family and establish a family alone.Therefore, they removed one character from each of their names and accepted the new emperor's award as their new family names.

In this way, a pair of classic CP names appeared: Toru Nogami and Ken Yamagata.

……

Three years, the end.

On a winter day, in the Dayan Palace that had just been repaired not long ago, hundreds of transversal congregations gathered together with the emperor seated on the dragon chair, making choices about the century-old plan for the transmigration country.

There is only one topic of the meeting: closing the country.

For countries whose knowledge reserves on the hard disk have reached the nanometer era and controllable nuclear fusion, seclusion is the next step in national policy that must be carried out.

Stuck in the Cape of Good Hope and Malacca, cut off all trade, and prevent European ghosts and animals from obtaining advanced knowledge.In the country, it is also necessary to control the dissemination of knowledge and delay the global industrial revolution as much as possible.
