In the city of Nanjing, on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

Tai Kandi walked on the shore of the silent lake, the evening breeze could not make him feel cold, and the sunset that was about to set could not make him feel sad.

Yes, he is not young anymore, like the sun that is about to set, but so what?

His exploits have been clearly engraved in the history books of the empire, and in the twenty-five years of his reign, he fought two wars against the Americas, both of which were victorious.

Yes, the second war is not over yet. But the big picture was decided, and he believed that the empire, the largest group of challengers in the world, would soon cease to exist.

Such a great achievement has already stood tall in front of everyone's eyes, so Tai Kangdi does not need to feel sad at all. He could have spent the rest of his life standing on the pinnacle of the world, quietly looking down on the whole world.

Let Taikangdi, who is pacing by the lake in the last little afterglow of the sunset, always have an insoluble gloom on his brow, and some contradictions that have recently erupted in China.

The 10,000-ton ship will not be overturned by small winds and waves, and compared with the current war that is about to end, the labor conflict between the workers and the capital side in the country is nothing.

The war has made some people less settled, whether they have money or not, and it would be strange if nothing happened at home.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Honglu Temple that King Cao has officially issued an armistice to the empire."

Tai Kandi soon got a great news that made him feel happy.

- Cao Guo, completely softened.

Just like he had thought before.

The rebel group led by Cao Guo has been greatly damaged since it was defeated in World War I twenty years ago.

More than ten years of recuperation have allowed them to regain some strength, but compared to the winners, they are even worse.

When he was Emperor Taichu, relying on the advantage of Minnie's bullets, the empire easily regained the disadvantage on land. The Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions were subdued, and then the army entered the Americas, and the battles on the sea are difficult to say, but the battles on land are frequent.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Guo and his allies immediately chose to surrender, and they spit out a lot of benefits. Of course, Cao Guo and they are not willing to live up to their mouths, and their attitude is quite unruly, and the knot between the two sides will not be dispelled.

From Tai Kanti's great-grandfather to his grandfather to his father, and then to him, a hundred years have passed, and the steam engine has not only completely replaced water power and animal power on land, but also steam ships have replaced sailboats on the sea.

Both the mode of warfare at sea and the mode of transport at sea have undergone a dramatic shift.

At the beginning of Emperor Taikang's accession to the throne, he began to fight, and it was the beginning of the war in the fifth year of Taikang, and a battle that lasted for two years ended with the defeat of Cao's side and begging for mercy. But at that time, Emperor Taikang did not abolish the state of Cao, because the situation did not allow him to do so.

In this way, he waited for this scene until twenty years later......

When King Cao officially issued an armistice agreement, King Cao should have understood in his heart that the glory of this country was about to be completely dimmed.

Emperor Taikang was very proud, although this was an infighting between the Lu clan's kingdoms, and it was weakening the overall strength of the Lu clan, but he eradicated the thorn in his eye, and the short-term pain was exchanged for the Lu clan's stronger cohesion.

That little damage is negligible compared to the benefits that can be seen with the naked eye. Do you want to take a long-term view?

Cao was deposed, and a series of other punishments awaited its allies, who were naturally the victors in this war. Emperor Taikang was able to earn a feudal kingdom for his son, even if his strength was far inferior to the original Cao State, as far as he was concerned, this was also a great honor.

To be honest, Emperor Taikang did not put the enemy in his eyes at the beginning of the war, and the previous defeat greatly damaged the strength of Cao's side, even if it recovered, the gap with the Central Plains was even greater. What he is "afraid" of is that after the people of Cao Guo can't do anything, they still "die without repentance" to the end.

In that case, half of North America will be destroyed, and Lu's losses will be too great.

It will also leave serious after-effects - the hatred between the two sides will be difficult to resolve in the short term.

The people of all walks of life in the Cao Kingdom would not be happy for Lu Qi's glory. On the battlefield, the Central Plains was on the side of the aggressors, and the existence of the Central Plains army seriously damaged the interests of the people of Cao.

They don't think about it - the reason why the two sides went to war was precisely because Cao State first violated the interests of the Central Plains Empire, and it was a group of feudal states led by Cao State who first challenged their mother country.

People are short-sighted and blind. As long as there is a little guidance, public opinion will be formed, and the disaster will be left for thousands of years. Such a war would not be a good taste.

Of course, the brutal war and the huge casualties, the damage will affect both sides. On China's side, the damage of war is not easily erased. Even Tai Kandi can't break this rule.

That would really leave a lot of trouble.

No matter how lofty the purpose of war is, it is ultimately necessary to extract the rights and interests and wealth of the loser. The conflict of interest is unforgettable!

However, under the guidance of their own newspapers and stimulated by interests, everyone in the Central Plains will clearly understand the benefits of this war, and everyone thinks that this war is "correct".

These benefits naturally fell more into the hands of the royal family, nobles, and big capitalists, but the benefits flowing from their fingers also allowed the people to eat and drink.

And this will make it even more difficult for losers to accept.

Such entanglements are continuous, and the scars left behind may not heal for generations.

Fortunately, Cao Guo did not do this.

The Cao Army Alliance is not strong, they used their tenacity and strength, with pieces of corpses and a sea of blood, to successfully drag this war to the third year. But in the end, he still couldn't withstand Lu Qi's punch after accumulating strength.

In that battle, a battalion went up and was directly empty in an hour or two, and a division pulled up in the morning, but it could not be fought in the afternoon.

In the face of each other's strong fortresses and defenses, the value of human life is so low.

- On the position between the two armies, there were mutilated corpses, blood-colored muscles, whitish fat, miserable white broken bone stubble, and even pale yellow brains.

Cao Guo's side couldn't hold on, and then they chose to surrender.

……

A large number of troops marched into Xinye in the lower reaches of the Qing River.

This is the capital of the Cao Kingdom, and the so-called 'Qing River' refers to the Mississippi River in the original time and space.

The soldiers held their heads high and carried the pride of victory.

The last remnants of the Cao army in the city, led by a man named Zheng Lianfu, threw away the rifle in his hand and took the initiative to enter the prisoner of war camp. That Zheng Lianfu is said to be the descendant of the famous admiral Zheng Zhilong.

Xinye was a city that had not been affected by the war, and a large number of aborigines and refugees who had fled to the city because of the war had gathered in the city, all of whom looked at the Central Plains army with a timid and hateful gaze, which looked almost exactly like them.

These people share their roots, but their interests make the contradictions between the two sides almost irreconcilable. As early as the time of Emperor Taichu, the fate of Cao Guo had already been decided: either lead his friends to seize the hegemony of the entire North America, or die a glorious death.

It's a pity that they failed.

Failure is punished for their failures, regardless of whether their ancestors are from the royal family of the Central Plains or from the clan of a vassal state.

"The hegemony of the empire has been perfectly reshaped. The Emperor crushed his last challenger—"

Unbeknownst to the Imperial Army, who were walking into Xinye one after another, among the civilians watching the ceremony of entering the city, more than one reporter from all over the world was writing everything about them with his own notes.

These journalists do not fear for their lives, and both sides have proven that they respect journalists in the past three years of war.

"A hero has fallen tragically, and the people of the world will not forget him...... I hope that in the future, a second or third hero will stand up. Otherwise, the world that has always been ruled by China will be too boring. ”

A reporter who came to Beitianzhu looked at the team outside the hotel where he was staying, a team of high-spirited but strictly disciplined people, and there was no robbery or looting, let alone murder, rape, and adultery.

He was a pure-blooded Tianzhu Kshatriya, and if he could, he would prefer the winner of this war to be the Cao Alliance, not China.

Because only then will the whole world become more interesting.
