Xiao Tianjian, the founding emperor of the Dazhong Dynasty, has always been in good health, and he pays attention to exercise, so his body has always been in a healthy state, which made him reign for forty-two years, but just when everyone thought that he would continue to govern, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly announced his abdication in the forty-second year of Tianyuan and passed the throne to the eldest prince Xiao Haoyu.

During the more than 40 years of his rule, the Great China and the DPRK almost never stopped using troops abroad, but in the same way, in the continuous use of troops, China's territory was also constantly expanding.

Through his unremitting efforts, in the 42nd year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the jurisdiction and colonial territory of the Great Middle Dynasty had expanded to all parts of the world, except for Europe, almost every continent had the colonial territory of the Great Middle Kingdom, making the Great Middle Dynasty a real empire on which the sun never sets.

In the twentieth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, after the successful expedition to the Americas, the Great and Chinese Dynasties gradually controlled a large area of North and South America, almost completely expelled the Spanish forces from the North and South American continents, and at the same time almost drove the Dutch out of the American continent.

After completing the conquest of the American continent and the Australian continent, Xiao Tianjian, for some personal reasons, even overrode public opinion, sent a huge and unrivaled fleet and army to completely destroy an island country in the east of Chinese mainland, making it also the territory of the Great Middle Korea, and there, the establishment of the Great Middle Korean East Sea Province, as for the bullshit emperor who lasted for more than a thousand years on the island country, it was completely erased from this era, gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and was gradually forgotten by the world.

Of course, like the Li Dynasty in Nanyang, it will naturally not continue to be retained, but after a short war, the Dazhong Dynasty also incorporated it into the territory of the Dazhong Dynasty and restored its title of Cochin Province, including the Siam Kingdom in Southeast Asia.

In addition, in the thirtieth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the Great Middle Dynasty once again sent troops to the Indian Ocean, controlled India in the hands of the Great Middle Dynasty, and squeezed out the Dutch and British entrenched there from India, making it another colony of the Great Middle Kingdom.

So far, the whole of Asia has basically been controlled by the Great China and North Korea, and Asia has completely become China's Asia.

Although in a short period of time, the Great and Medium Dynasty did not have a very strong ability to control many colonies, but the Great China and the DPRK have been promoting immigration, encouraging the people to emigrate to the newly occupied colonies one by one, and in the long run, sooner or later they will completely control these colonies.

The colonial policy also brought huge returns to the people of the Great Middle Kingdom, and the resources of the colony were constantly discovered and developed, so that by the time the Great Middle Dynasty reached the time of more than 30 years of the Yuan Dynasty, the financial revenue was already an astronomical amount, and the wealth of the people was almost unimaginable.

The colonial policy also brought a large number of cheap labor to the Great Middle Korea, making many Chinese rich one by one, and social welfare began to improve significantly, and by the time Xiao Tianjian was in his later years, the citizens of the Great Middle and North Korea had begun to enjoy the benefits of free compulsory education for all, and also enjoyed the free medical security system.

In the past, this was something that the Chinese never dared to imagine, and the official citizens of China and North Korea began to enjoy various state social benefits from birth, until death, they could almost enjoy a life without food and clothing.

The improvement of the quality of life of the people has also greatly stabilized the stability of the country, and by the time of the twentieth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, there was basically no violence and chaos in the country, and almost all the traces left by the Ming Dynasty to the people were erased, and no one mentioned the bullshit anti-China restoration of the Ming Dynasty anymore.

In the middle and late stages of Xiao Tianjian's reign, Xiao Tianjian began to deliberately promote democratic ideas among the people, and gradually established and improved the system of separation of powers, established the national parliament, and improved the judicial system, so that the legislative power, executive power, and judicial power were gradually attributed to the three state institutions, and in the thirtieth year of Tianyuan, he officially began to implement the electoral system in the country, and the power that originally belonged to the emperor began to be gradually transferred to the hands of the prime minister. As a result, the Prime Minister gradually became the de facto chief executive of the country.

At the beginning, the people still didn't understand Xiao Tianjian's approach, thinking that Xiao Tianjian's doing this was weakening the imperial power and making the imperial power go aside, so many people expressed dissatisfaction with this.

For this reason, Xiao Tianjian has written articles in various newspapers many times, preaching that the country is not the country of Xiao Tianjian alone, but the country of all Chinese, and that power should be returned to the people, not just in the hands of him alone.

At the same time, he also wrote many articles, expounding the disadvantages of the old-style imperial power system, he can guarantee that he will be a Ming monarch, but he cannot guarantee that the future generations of the emperor, all of them will always guarantee that they are Ming monarchs, once there is a faint monarch, then it will cause irreparable disasters to the country, so the people have the right to choose their rulers to manage the country.

The two political parties of the Great and Chinese Dynasties can express their opinions to win the support of the voters and form a cabinet to govern and administer the country, and the people also have the power to use their votes to oust the unqualified ruling party from power and replace it with a qualified ruler to govern the country.

In this way, under Xiao Tianjian's guidance for a long time, the people gradually understood his intentions, and subtly began to get used to this new political system.

In Xiao Tianjian's later years, the royal family gradually became an honorary existence, nominally the Royal Army and the Royal Navy belonged to the royal army, but in essence, the army at this time had been under the command and management of the rulers.

In the fortieth year of Tianyuan, Xiao Tianjian formally established the constitution in China, established the political system of constitutional monarchy, and strictly limited the scope of power of the rulers, and completely transferred the last military power in his hands to the national parliament.

At the beginning, the princes and grandsons did not understand this very well and raised objections many times, but after Xiao Tianjian induced several princes, the princes also realized the benefits of this system, although the members of the royal family lost their supreme power, but they still retained the supreme glory.

And under this system, it is impossible for anyone to overthrow their royal family in the future, so that their royal family can be preserved forever, and there will be no change of dynasty, so they gradually accept this fact.

During the more than 40 years that Xiao Tianjian was in power, in addition to accomplishing unprecedented and unprecedented achievements in military expansion, the education system that Xiao Tianjian vigorously promoted was also greatly improved, gradually forming a three-level education system of universities, primary and secondary schools, and began to continuously train all kinds of talents for the country, China and the DPRK.

The reform of the education system has naturally provided sufficient impetus for the development of science and technology, coupled with the fact that under the leadership of Xiao Tianjian, Dazhong and North Korea have always spared no effort to invest heavily in scientific research, and the existence of Xiao Tianjian's super cheat, which has made the science and technology of Dazhong and North Korea develop by leaps and bounds.

In the Tianyuan more than ten years, the Great Middle Dynasty has promoted the application and manufacturing of various machine tools throughout the country, making the machinery manufacturing industry of the Great Middle Dynasty an industry that is proud of the world.

In addition, the chemical industry has gradually established a relatively complete research mechanism after improving the basic research of chemistry, so the chemical industry of the Great Middle and Korean Dynasties began to develop rapidly in about 20 years of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

In the military field, after the 20th year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the Great Middle Dynasty had already developed the mercury, which made the Great Middle Dynasty master an important science and technology, and a large number of front-loading rifled rifles that had just been installed soon began to be rapidly replaced by the rear load, which made the mode of war begin to change significantly.

In addition, due to the invention of thundermercury, the DPRK has also broken through the technical bottleneck of the artillery grenade and developed a reliable fuse device, which has made the artillery technology, which is already much ahead, once again made a major breakthrough and began to equip the artillery with a new type of howitzer, which greatly strengthened the lethality of the artillery.

The army of China, China and North Korea immediately began to replace it with the latest all-steel rear-loading rifled artillery, and with the technological breakthrough in the metal smelting industry, the barrel wall has become thinner, stronger, more bearing, and the firing range is longer, while the weight of the gun under the same caliber has dropped significantly, coupled with this new type of bomb-type grenade, so that the cannon has begun to enter a new stage, greatly exceeding the power of the previous artillery, at least has reached the level of artillery in the middle of the nineteenth century in the old time and space, It completely left the Western artillery far behind.

The only pity is that at this time, the brake and re-entry device were still not developed, and the artillery still used the frame retreat method, and the physical requirements for the artillery were still very large, which was somewhat a pity, otherwise the artillery technology of the Great China and North Korea would probably reach the level of the late nineteenth century at this time.

In consideration of the fact that the DPRK will have to compete with the Western countries for world hegemony in the future, the DPRK formulated a law on state secrecy very early, and immediately after the development of this series of scientific and technological inventions, they strictly enforced the regulations on secrecy in accordance with the secrecy law, and banned all exports except that those who developed and designed them were not allowed to leak technical drawings.

Because Xiao Tianjian knows very well that in the later life of the old time and space, the Chinese have suffered from the technological blockade of China by Western countries, and now that the Great China and North Korea have finally come to the forefront of science and technology, it is time for Western countries to taste the bitter fruits of technological backwardness.

In the 32nd year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, because the Western countries felt the scorching oppression of the Great China and the DPRK all over the world, their thinking began to gradually unify, and gradually under the leadership of the rising Britain, they began to unite and become enemies of the Great and Chinese Dynasties.

Seeing that the Great and Chinese Dynasties gradually occupied large chunks of territory in North and South America, and repeatedly seized colonies from their Westerners by force, by 25 years after the Tian Yuan Dynasty, the tentacles of the Great and Chinese Dynasties extended to Africa and India, which they regarded as a forbidden territory.

Commercially, the Great China and North Korea controlled the spice trade in Southeast Asia and the trade in silk, raw silk, tea ceramics, and glass in the whole of East Asia; at the same time, they also seized the silver and gold producing areas of Westerners in the Americas, and sent smuggling ships to rob and raid Western cargo ships, and took the gold and silver treasures they had obtained with great difficulty to Chinese mainland, and also controlled almost 90 percent of the world's sugar production, making it almost impossible for European countries to gain a foothold in the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, in order to curb the hegemony of the Great China and North Korea at sea, and to control the continued expansion of the Great China and North Korea, and at the same time to compete for their interests in India, the British, together with the Netherlands, France, Spain and even Tunisia, began to counterattack the Great China and North Korea.

Britain united with the Netherlands and Spain, and gathered the French fleet, sent a large number of smuggling ships and warships to start bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, into the Indian Ocean, and even deep into the Pacific Ocean, and launched a large-scale plundering campaign against Chinese merchant ships for more than two years, in addition to acquiring wealth through this action, but also trying to crack down on the maritime trade activities between China and North Korea.

Naturally, the navies of China, China and the DPRK were not polite, and after discovering this momentum, they immediately retaliated with the maritime trade group, and similarly sent more smuggling ships and warships into the Indian Ocean and even sailed into the Atlantic Ocean to plunder Western merchant ships, and to search for their smuggling ships and warships at sea, seeking to engage them, capture or sink them.

The contest between the East and the West on the sea immediately began, and the Westerners may have a certain advantage in terms of sailing experience and shipbuilding experience, but in these respects, after more than 20 years of catching up, they are not much behind, and the quality of the artillery of the Great and Chinese and North Koreas far exceeds that of the Western countries, and the results of the naval battle can be imagined.

The smuggling ships and warships of the Western countries did not take advantage of this large-scale exchange, even if their warships met the armed merchant ships of the Great Middle and North Koreas, with the advantage of the number of cannons, they may not be able to bargain, on the contrary, they were in front of the new breech-loading rifled artillery of the Great and Central Koreas, but they were often smuggling ships or warships, and the armed merchant ships of the Great and Central Koreas were either full of holes, or they were beaten into flames, and those who ran fast could still get a chance to live, and those who ran slowly. In front of the new flowering grenade of Dazhong and North Korea, it was quickly hit like a live target, and it was torn apart and sunk into the sea.

The generation gap in artillery technology allows the ships of the Great China and North Korea to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak when facing the Western ships at sea, especially the new type of bomb-bombing grenade, which may not be used to deal with the steel armor of later generations, but against the current wooden ships, it can be described as a super killer, as long as it hits, it will immediately blow up a big hole in the opponent's hull, and often it does not take a few cannons to break the enemy ship apart or ignite a fire, which makes the Western countries suffer a big loss. The Western pirates who planned to make a fortune by plundering smuggling ships sometimes did not dare to plunder, but turned around and fled when they saw Chinese armed merchant ships.

In the 32nd year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the Great Chinese Dynasty suddenly sent a fleet and army to capture Galle in Ceylon and drive the Dutch away from here, the British and the Dutch were completely enraged, in order to ensure their interests in India, so they gathered nearly 100 armed merchant ships and warships of various types, gathered in the Portuguese-controlled colony of Goa, and launched an attack on Ceylon in the 33rd year of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

At this time, the Nanyang Fleet of the Great and Chinese Koreans also discovered their plan, and assembled dozens of warships, armed merchant ships, and smuggling ships in the sea of Ceylon in advance, and a fierce battle between the two sides that lasted for more than a month immediately broke out.

In the end, the Chinese fleet paid a considerable price, but still defeated the European Combined Fleet, destroying and capturing more than half of their ships, forcing their Combined Fleet to flee back to Goa.

The Great and Chinese Dynasties relentlessly sent additional fleets and land forces to Goa, and under the First World War, they beat the European coalition forces there, and Goa was also occupied by the Great and Chinese Dynasties, expelling them from India, so that the Great and Chinese Dynasties took over their various interests in India.

In this battle, the Europeans thoroughly realized their backwardness in terms of weapons, and the naval guns at sea, their range and power were far less powerful than those of the Chinese fleet, but in the land battles, the smoothbore arquebuses and flintlock rifles they used were also no match for the firing pin breeching rifled rifles used by the armies of the Great China and North Korea.

The Western army must stand upright, line up in a long column, and use the tactics of platoon guns, but at this time, the combat method of the Great China and North Korea is already to allow the soldiers to lie down and fire, and it is outside the range of the enemy's musket, so they start shooting from a distance, which is simply a one-sided massacre, and the Western army has not been able to get the Chinese army, so it was beaten in rows and fell, and this battle naturally could not be fought.

Moreover, the firing range of the artillery of the Great and Chinese Dynasties is far beyond the range of their front-loading smoothbore guns, and a large number of grenades that have landed and blossomed are even more powerful, blowing up their flesh and blood, and it is impossible not to fail.

In the face of a huge technological gap, the European coalition forces were soon completely defeated, and after being forced to surrender their territory, their artillery and muskets were seized by the Great Chinese Army, and they were driven away from the Indian subcontinent.

A few years later, after the Great and Chinese North Korea gradually incorporated India into the colonial system, the Great Chinese and North Korean armies once again locked their eyes on the Najd area of West Asia, and the Chinese fleet sailed into the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman, and began to land in West Asia, gradually beginning to establish a bridgehead.

It was also when the war of the Indian subcontinent was going to war, another major event occurred in the Great China and North Korea, that is, under the unremitting efforts of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for more than ten years, China's first practical steam engine officially began to operate under the ignition of the Emperor Xiao Tianjian.

When Xiao Tianjian watched the steam engine designed and manufactured by him himself, rumbling and spitting steam and smoke, he couldn't help but suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears, stroking this clumsy looking steam engine, Xiao Tianjian contained tears, and officially announced the arrival of a new era, this is the steam era!

In just a few years, new types of steam engines began to be mass-produced, and began to be used in various factories, replacing water power, becoming the prime mover of many factories, and then mines also began to use steam engines to drive pumps to discharge stagnant water from pits or mines.

With the continuous maturity of steam engine technology, the power of the steam engine began to become larger and larger, and the unit volume began to shrink, so in the 38th year of Tianyuan, the first small train for mining began to be put into trial operation in Shanxi Datong Coal Mine, and the first railway built by the royal independent investment in childhood began to be paved in Tangshan Kaiping Coal Mine to Tianjin Weixin Industrial Zone, and then in the second year, a new train was put into operation on this railway, and the high-quality coal produced by Kaiping Coal Mine was put into operation. It began to be transported out of Tianjin Wei Industrial Zone in a steady stream, completely replacing the original mule and horse carts to transport coal mines.

Xiao Tianjian and personally went to Tianjin Wei, became the first batch of passengers to take the train, the news came out, the whole country was shaken, many people ran thousands of miles to Tianjin Wei to watch this kind of steel monster that filled in coal and lit up, and could run by itself with black smoke, all of which were amazed.

Subsequently, under Xiao Tianjian's will, the Ministry of Industry began to prepare for the construction of railways throughout the country, and then began the climax of railway construction in China, China and North Korea.

However, considering the importance of the steam engine, Xiao Tianjian still ordered to block the steam engine manufacturing technology, and at the same time did not allow the steam engine to be exported in any form.

In the forty-second year of Tianyuan, Xiao Tianjian was already an old man in his seventies, although his body was still very healthy, but after completing the transfer of all rights, he decided to abdicate and pass the throne to the crown prince Xiao Haoyu.

Although the ministers and the people went to the palace many times to petition after learning the news, begging Emperor Xiao not to abdicate, but Emperor Xiao smiled and politely refused, and in desperation, the Dazhong Empire held an extremely grand Zen ceremony for their father and son, making Xiao Haoyu the nominal supreme ruler of the Dazhong Empire, and Xiao Tianjian became the emperor of the Dazhong Empire.

After Xiao Tianjian completed the succession ceremony, he suddenly left the Forbidden City with a relaxed body, accompanied by the Empress Dowager Fan Yutong and the Empress Dowager Fan Ling'er, and left the mainland on a steam engine ship just built by the Great Middle Dynasty in Tianjin Port (the imperial concubine Die'er had died of illness ten years ago), and sailed to the Baozhu Islands (that is, the Hawaiian Islands known to later generations) in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and never asked about the world again.

In addition to fishing at the beach every day, this old man walks around the island accompanied by two ladies, according to Xiao Tianjian's own words, this is the life he wants to live, but it is too late, so in his lifetime, he must enjoy life.

Except for fishing and walking, he basically stopped talking about state affairs, only occasionally reading some newspapers sent by the empire, and more time, he would be in the study, sitting at his desk and drawing some drawings with cartographic tools.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager often looked curiously at these strange drawings drawn by him, but they didn't know what was depicted on these drawings, so Xiao Tianjian often pointed to the drawings he drew and explained them to them.

Under Xiao Tianjian's explanation, they learned that the things depicted on these drawings are not only some new artillery, but also some new guns, and some they have never heard of such as internal combustion engines, generators, and electric motors.

In addition, when he has nothing to do, Xiao Tianjian will also write something, and organize it with these drawings, and finally compile a book, which is full of fantasy, Xiao Tianjian looks forward to the future of science and technology, and depicts a scene of a future world that people yearn for.

In the end, the book was named "The Road of Future Science and Technology" by Xiao Tianjian and after several years of perfection and sorting, the final draft was completed, Xiao Tianjian after completing the book, sent someone to send this series back to the current emperor Xiao Haoyu, and at the same time he informed Xiao Haoyu that the book can not be compiled and published publicly, can only be kept in the royal library, every few years, some of the volumes will be printed, sent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so that those academicians of the Academy of Sciences according to the content, development.

After completing this book, Xiao Tianjian is already an eighty-year-old man, and his two imperial concubines have also left this world at this time, one afternoon, he sat on a rocking chair placed in the promenade of the seaside villa, swaying the rocking chair slightly, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, and suddenly a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have done everything that should be done!" Now I have no regrets! I hope my soul can return to the future! ”

When the maid brought him a cup of tea, she found that the venerable old man had closed his eyes peacefully and fell into a deep sleep forever......

(End of book)
