    The emperor's personal expedition should have been extremely grand, but Emperor Longwu's personal expedition was kept simple.  In fact, the entire Chu army was centered on Wang Kefan. Even if Emperor Longwu led the expedition in person, he was more of a mascot. However, after setting foot on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Emperor Longwu was still very excited. The army went all the way north to the ancestral home of Lao Zhu's family.  In Fengyang, Anhui, after Emperor Longwu paid homage to Emperor Ming's Mausoleum, he talked with Wang Kefan all night until dawn.  Wang Kefan originally thought that Emperor Longwu still wanted to retain the unification of the Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Longwu saw everything very clearly when he was about to die, and only asked Wang Kefan to follow Cao Pi and Zhao Kuangyin and treat Prince Zhu Linyuan and his descendants.  Preferential treatment, nothing else. In fact, Emperor Longwu desperately asked for the emperor to go on a personal expedition, mostly for his own son. As an emperor who sacrificed his life for the country, he would win the sympathy of most people in public opinion. If Wang Kefan wanted to eradicate the root cause,  There will always be some scruples.  "If your majesty, Long Yu, dies, the prince will ascend the throne. If there are other changes in the future, I will protect his wealth and honor for a lifetime." Wang Kefan said calmly: "The times are forcing us to do something, but please rest assured, your majesty, I will treat Zhu Lin as his  He is his own child and will never let him be bullied." Wang Kefan ended the conversation by directly claiming to be Zhu Linyuan's adoptive father.  There are some things that are useless no matter how much you say them. How you do them in the future is more important.  Emperor Longwu was on the extremely weak side, and it was enough for Wang Kefan to say such a thing. In the next few days, Zhu Yujian cheered up and went north with the army in military uniform. He often attracted cheers from the people watching. Wang Kefan was very impressed with him.  Although it is impossible to transcend the imperial system in this era, at least within three to five years, Wang Kefan has no plans to usurp the throne and become emperor. The brand of the Ming Dynasty still has value, and there is no need to rush to become emperor.  Let¡¯s all look forward, time will change everything.  He ordered Wang Sheng and the main force of the Chu army to continue marching north and attack South Zhili and Shandong across the board, forcing and squeezing Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing to start a war as soon as possible. If Wu Sangui hesitated, they would be eliminated on the spot.  Wu Sangui's response was extremely fast. Without waiting for the Chu army to approach, he led his army northward and defeated the last Qing army defending Beijing in the Baoding area. The Qing court hurriedly escaped from Shanhaiguan. Due to the hasty action, the troops and supplies that were withdrawn were  There were not many, and they did not take a large number of Zhili people according to Dorgon's plan.  When the Chu army crossed the Yellow River, Emperor Longwu could no longer hold on and died in the army that night.  When the news spread, some of Wu Sangui's men wanted to fish in troubled waters. Waiting and watching the situation, the Chu army was not affected by the emperor's death at all. Instead, it suddenly accelerated its pace, with the cavalry troops of Li Laiheng and Tie Zhaorong as the vanguard, and attacked Gu'an and Zhuozhou.  A conflict broke out with Wu Sangui in the area and defeated thousands of his vanguard troops. At the same time, he sternly warned Wu Sangui not to compete for the credit of recovering Beijing and immediately led his troops out to pursue the Manchus.  Wu Sangui suffered a dumb loss and did not dare to fall out with the Chu army, so he had to lead his troops to bypass Beijing and launch an attack on Shanhaiguan. This was once his hometown and he was familiar with it. The main force of the Qing army also withdrew to Shenyang.  , only a few green battalions were left to guard Shanhaiguan, but Wu Sangui was easily defeated and led his army out of Shanhaiguan.  In the next year, Wu Sangui and the Qing army fought fiercely outside the pass, winning more than they lost. They pushed the front northward step by step, and finally attacked the city of Shenyang. Then they were frustrated under the city and could not break the city for several months.  The main force of the Chu army immediately came out in large numbers, and with thunderous thunder, they conquered Shenyang in one battle.  Wu Sangui did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to the north to hunt down the remnants of the Jiannu slaves. They were chased to the sky and could not reach the ground, so they had to flee west into Mongolia. The Chu army launched a large-scale northern expedition, sweeping away all the Mongolian tribes, and cooperated with Wu Sangui to control the Jiannu slaves.  The slaves rushed all the way to the north of Lake Baikal.  Wu Sangui took a short rest and continued northward, chasing the traces of the escaped slaves and fighting deep into Siberia Ten years later.  The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Linyuan, abdicated, and the 36-year-old Prime Minister Wang Kefan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He changed the name of the country to Hua, and at the same time carried out drastic reforms to the country.  The six ministries of the imperial court have turned into more than twenty ministries. Everyone can understand the meaning of the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce, etc., but ordinary people have no idea what the Ministry of Science and Technology is. I just heard that Wang Kefan likes this technology the most.  He even disregarded etiquette and served as the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology himself, often spending the whole day in his newly built university.  It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t do your job properly. There was a carpenter emperor in the previous dynasty, but Wang Kefan¡¯s most shocking move was to take the lead in cutting his hair. As an emperor, he left an inch of short hair.  Fortunately, he did not issue an order to shave his hair like the Manchus did, but only used his actions to influence others. The King of Chu had such a slim waist that many of his harems starved to death. As time went by, graduallyMore and more people accepted short hair. Wang Kefan immediately ordered that all public officials and military personnel should cut their hair, but ordinary people could do it as they pleased. Overnight, short hair was everywhere in China, which was a spectacular sight.  At this time, Zheng Chenggong had passed away. The Zheng family in Taiwan still regarded Zhu Ming as their orthodoxy and refused to surrender to Wang Kefan. Wang Kefan was not in a hurry to conquer Taiwan. He only vigorously developed shipping and navy and continued to rob the Zheng family's maritime trade.  The Chinese fleet is getting stronger and stronger, traveling across the seas without scruples, and gradually extending its tentacles to Southeast Asia. However, the Zheng family's fleet has been huddled in Jilong Port, and it no longer has the majesty of the past.  Li Dingguo in the southwest had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty two years ago, surrendered his military power, and returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi to become an idle prince. To everyone's surprise, Wang Kefan treated Li Dingguo extremely favorably. His treatment was basically the same as that of Zhu Linyuan who abdicated.  Similarly, many people don't understand why Wang Kefan did this, and Wang Kefan has never explained it.  Many years later, Li Dingguo died peacefully.  Wu Sangui was old and strong. He was invincible in Siberia and established a huge vassal state. Finally, he came into conflict with Russia, which was expanding eastward. The two sides fought fiercely for several years, with each other winning or losing.  After the Manchus were driven out of Mongolia, they wandered to Central Asia. After Shunzhi died, Kangxi succeeded to the throne with the support of Xiaozhuang. After more than ten years of development, the population recovered slightly, but they never dared to return to Jianzhuang.  The state stayed in Central Asia to develop. Later, it was defeated by Tsar Peter and gradually disappeared in the long river of history.  "Go out and have a look. This world is very big, and this world is also very small. Only by going out and seeing it with your own eyes can you understand some truths that cannot be learned in books." At the dock in Shanghai, Wang Kefan personally gave away his eldest son.  Shanghai ship, accompanied by the nephews of Wang Sheng, Zhou Guodong, Tan Xiao, Jin Shenghuan, Li Dingguo and others: "A new era is coming. We still have a lot to do. I believe that you young people will be better than us in the future."  Do better.¡± The next hundred years were the peak of the Age of Discovery.  The next few hundred years were the peak of the Industrial Revolution.  In another time and space, Peter the Great appeared in Russia at this time, developing an old serf country into one of the emerging powers. At the same time, Kangxi, the "Eternal Emperor", was still immersed in the dream of a great power in China.  , relying on the promotion of grains to create the so-called prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, but step by step it became the target of being left behind and beaten. All of this was reversed by Wang Kefan in this time and space.  The ship left the port and gradually went away. Wang Kefan stood on the shore for a long time, watching the waves repeatedly hitting the rocks on the shore, his eyes deep.  (Complete book)
