Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 907 Finale: The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets! !



In February of 1717, Emperor Ying of the Ming Dynasty was in Tianfu and it was raining continuously. The cold air of early spring seemed to make people relive the taste of winter.

Zhang Tingyu is wearing a thick fur coat. He is the third prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The second term was Lu Fan.

But later Lu Fan found that the job of prime minister was too tiring, so he resigned from his official position and devoted himself to helping Zhu Kezang build the wonders.

Zhang Tingyu was also successfully voted as the new prime minister, the youngest among the three.

He reached out and took a fresh copy of "Huangming Daily" and scanned the information quickly and efficiently.

In recent issues of newspapers, what has been described is naturally the war that has broken out around the world.

Except for a small amount of space describing the domestic situation, more news has completely focused on the war.

What Daming saw was just one brilliant victory after another, victories that everyone cheered for.

"The war has entered its third year. The Kingdom of Prussia, Ming's loyal ally, can no longer support itself. Facing the siege of Rakshasa and the French army, Frederick's long sword seems to be broken. The main force of the French army has entered Leipzig and Berlin seem to be in danger."

"Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's airships descended from the sky and reached the sky above Berlin first, frightening the European Allied Forces to such a degree that they did not dare to move forward even half a step."

"Subsequently, Pan Aqiang, the Governor of the Western Expedition, promptly led 12 Ming Dynasty border guards, penetrated the Rakshasa Kingdom and Poland, entered Prussian land, and fought a decisive battle with 6 European coalition forces in Berlin. The Ming-Prussian coalition forces won a great victory and captured the European coalition forces. More than [-] people!”

"This battle saved Prussia, which was about to collapse, and gave it a chance to counterattack."

"Be an ally of Ming Dynasty and you will not be betrayed!"

In the newspapers, they naturally highly praised the strength of the Ming army, and they took it for granted that they were the saviors of Ming Prussia!
Frederick even knelt down to the east to express his gratitude to the Ming Emperor even when he was seriously injured!

This time, Prussia won the battle to defend Berlin, and the picture was "The Ming Dynasty airship over Berlin".

However, Zhang Tingyu didn't want to see this. In fact, he was more concerned about another thing.

That was a new round of war bond issuance, from which he hoped to get more opportunities to make a fortune.

Nowadays, national bonds are a good opportunity for the people, civil servants and officials of Ming Dynasty to make a fortune.

Especially officials, they usually don't dare to engage in corruption, and the proceeds from bond purchases have become their best legitimate income.

Compared with construction national debt or education national debt, war national debt can give more reports at the same time and on the same scale, and as long as the war is won, what will be in front of them in the future will be endless wealth. All for the wealth they possess.

It's just that what makes the Ming Dynasty a little disappointed is that this time the Ming Dynasty seems to have received too many benefits. The war funds and trophies given by the Allies alone are enough to last for a long time.

Therefore, the scale of war treasury bond issuance this time is not large, and no news of a new round of treasury bond issuance has been found despite searching.

“I don’t know how long the war will last.”

Zhang Tingyu murmured.

Regarding the defeat in the Battle of Berlin, Britain, France and other Allied powers were heartbroken.

What they can do is to speed up the training of reserve forces and at the same time seek the possibility of peace negotiations.

It's just that for the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers at this time, what they wanted to get has become more.

"The basis for negotiation naturally exists, but now the war situation is more favorable to the Allies. Only true sincerity can realize the possibility of peace."

Nian Gengyao, the new Minister of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, said loudly to the envoys from the Allied Powers in the palace in Berlin with a somewhat solemn expression:
"Everyone, whether it is Tianzhu, Yinzhou, or the Rakshasa Plain, it essentially belongs to the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence. If you have any objections to this, then our peace will be impossible."

"In addition, post-war compensation work can only be carried out within the broad framework proposed by Ming Dynasty. The details can be discussed, but the broad framework is exempt from discussion."

Tianzhu and Yinzhou are no longer territories that Europeans can set foot in, but the Rakshasa Plain cannot be lost!

That is Europe's last barrier.

Because of the rise of the Ming Dynasty, European countries that originally looked down on Rakshasa had to admit that Rakshasa people were also Europeans.

Of course, if we recognize that they are civilized Europeans, they must bear the corresponding responsibility, that is, to serve as the shield of Europe.

Faced with the slightly harsh requirements of the Ming Dynasty, Britain, France and other countries were naturally unwilling to compromise on this. They believed that they still had opportunities and were more willing to resolve it on the battlefield. In August 1717, the München and Prussian forces counterattacked from Prussia into Hanover, and some of their forces had already entered Austria.

The Ottoman army entered Austria from the back, and the European coalition forces launched a fierce Silesian battle with the Mingpu coalition forces in Silesia.

The total strength of both sides is more than [-], which is simply a meat grinder.

Of course, it is the European coalition forces that are being hanged.

Because the Ming Dynasty has hand-cranked machine guns, airships, and advanced rifles, the European coalition has no other advantages except its large number of troops.

The Battle of Silesia lasted four months, and ended with the victory of the Ming-Puin coalition. Frederick William I entered Vienna, and the Ming Dynasty transferred Austria's territory to the Kingdom of Prussia with a majestic stroke of a pen.

Frederick William I was overjoyed. After annexing Austria, he directly declared the establishment of the German Empire under the advice of the Ming Dynasty!

When the war in Europe entered an intense stage, Britain and France mustered up the courage to fight the Ming Dynasty in Beiyinzhou for the last decisive battle.

The scope of this decisive battle mainly affects the Canadian region. This area has not yet been set foot in by the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the Ming Dynasty will not give up this fertile land.

The outcome of the decisive battle was obvious. Under the backstabbing of the Yin people, the British and French forces were defeated miserably.

With the complete fall of the British and French colonies, the colonies of the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal around the world were all pulled up like nails by the Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty achieved hegemony on both land and sea, the end of the war seemed not far away.

Of course, for the European coalition forces, they cannot surrender easily because the price they have to pay is too high.

When the war has progressed to this point, the victory of the Ming Dynasty is only the result and it is insignificant.

But for Ming Dynasty and Zhu Kezang at this time, there was a more important thing to do, which was to completely determine the future royal inheritance.

As the large factory industry flourished, Zhu Kezang found that the monarchy faced great challenges in the face of the increasingly rapid development of Ming society and the emergence of various ideological trends.

Even in a certain sense, the Ming Dynasty was actually a constitutional monarchy.

"Yi Ming, in the future the Ming royal family will still be a noble example for the world, but that is not based on power, because everyone will grow old and die, and they will all pass away one day. Power cannot always be firmly in the hands of our family. inside"

Zhu Kezang believes that no matter what the future holds, it may be difficult for the new Ming Dynasty to escape from the law of dynastic cycles.

The cyclical crisis will break out sooner or later. After the golden development momentum has passed, how will the public view the slowed economic development?
When living standards gradually stagnate or even decline, how can people go hungry to support Ming Dynasty?Support the royal family?
"Father, every generation has its own mission. Perhaps your troubled questions will have answers in our time."

Prince Zhu Yiming said vigorously while thinking: "The current society is changing rapidly, and many new things will come out, including the radical ideas you mentioned, father, will definitely be born in the future. It is only a matter of time. How to deal with it is not the only one." Road."

"Yiming, do you want to be the emperor?"

When the Mining and Prussian coalition troops arrived at the gates of Paris, the Europa coalition took decisive action.

In December 1718, the Central Powers and the Entente finally signed a peace agreement in Paris, but it was actually an alliance under the city walls.

The defeated European countries will hand over all their colonies and have to bear large sums of war reparations. The size of their army and navy will also be limited to a certain extent. As the victorious country, the Ming Dynasty has become a true empire on which the sun never sets. .

The land of Ming Dynasty is everywhere from Ireland to the Far East!

After World War I, Ming's economy developed further. Raw materials and markets around the world boosted the rapid development of Ming's local capital.

Everyone believes that the time for all nations to come to court has arrived.

December 1719, the 12th year of Shenwu.

Zhu Kezang officially announced his abdication in Fengtian Hall, and Prince Zhu Yiming ascended the throne as emperor, with a new reign title.

Zhu Kezang, who had been emperor for 38 years, personally handed over the Imperial Constitution of the Ming Dynasty to the prince, as well as the emperor's twelve crowns and the jade seal used by the emperor.

In a solemn environment, Zhu Yiming firmly sat on the emperor's throne with a bit of sadness on his face.

A new era has arrived, and Zhu Kezang entered the sea-viewing mode with a spectacle system in mind.
