When Yang Feng led the Ming army into Chang'an City, with a huge explosion, the pontoon bridge connecting the two banks of the Wei River was blown up by a barrel of gunpowder, and Xianfeng on the north bank of the Wei River forgot about it in a daze, and began his long journey of escape west under the escort of the Russian embassy guards with loneliness and sadness.

Two days later he arrived at Fengxiang.

On the same day, Monk Grinqin led the cavalry to rush back to help.

But as soon as he got the news of Yang Feng's conquest of Chang'an, he understood that the general trend had gone, and then garrisoned Tongguan and ordered the new army to abandon Shaanzhou, and in the next few days, as Lin Fengxiang led the eleventh army headquarters and an infantry brigade to Chang'an, the Ming army in Luoyang began to cross the Kunshan Mountain, and Seng Lingqin finally abandoned Tongguan and crossed the Yellow River and fled north to Shanxi. However, he did not stick to Shanxi, but relied on his strong military strength to loot the Jin merchants and landlords in Shanxi who regarded them as saviors, and then led this huge army with a total of 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 cavalry infantry, carrying the looted grain, livestock, gold and silver treasures north out of Yanmen Pass and fleeing to Datong. Because of his sack, the Taihang Mountain defense line dominated by the green battalion regimental training collapsed, and the Ming army almost bloodlessly slaughtered into the Jinzhong Plain, and then completely wiped out the major families of the Jin merchants for the crime of traitor, especially those imperial merchant families in the early Qing Dynasty, even digging out the bones and slag and crushing the ashes.

Just like a rogue, the monk Lingqin, who led the army to loot all the way, did not stop at Datong, but fled to Guisui after robbing all the places in Daibei.

He's a smart guy.

These places are no longer possible to hold, so let's just let those gentry finally do their part for the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, under the persuasion of Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Sichuan, Lin Zexu, finally announced in Chengdu that anyway, the green battalion and regimental training generals of the Three Gorges Front appeared in Hanzhong Governor Hu Chao to lead the army to raid Chengdu in order to protect their family wealth, and the Eight Banners New Army under the headquarters of the second general of Jingzhou. The 20,000 new troops of the Eight Banners, which were cut off from logistics and were attacked from both sides by the Green Battalion and the Ming Army, had to abandon the Three Gorges and flee to Guizhou, together with Jiang Zhongyuan, the last loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing army in Yunnan, who had to hide in the mountains and forests by the enemy, became a group of bandits who had plagued Guizhou's public security for many years.

At this time, Xianfeng had fled to Liangzhou.

After learning the news, the monk Glinqin abandoned Guisui along the Yellow River to Liangzhou to meet Xianfeng, this can be regarded as loyal to the Qing Dynasty Mongols protected the Qing Emperor to continue to flee west, their long escape finally ended in Dihua, and in Dihua convened the Mongolian ministries to continue to respect the Qing Emperor, the same first Cossack cavalry also arrived in their welcome, but this time only Moxi Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia part, a part of the southern Mongolian princes chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Although they were deposed of all their official titles.

Even they and their families were forcibly relocated to Nanjing, where their pastoral areas were managed by the Ming garrison, and a portion of the annual taxes paid by the herders were used as their living expenses......

Of course, how much of this is given to them depends on the mood.

And it can only be received for three generations.

But even so, some princes of Monan Mongolia still chose to surrender, these years of war have exhausted their young adults, especially as the first to send orders to the south of the Ulanqab League, almost all the departments have no young adults, those women with children on the grassland to live a difficult scene, even those princes themselves want to cry when they look at it. And after the monk Lingqin abandoned Shanxi and Xuanda, they had already faced the Ming army, either surrender or exterminate, they did not think that those women and children could resist the invincible Ming army, and finally these Mongolian princes sadly accepted their fate, one wrote a table to the god emperor to dedicate the land, and then went to Nanjing to be captive.

The other part did not participate, including the Horqin tribes in the hometown of Seng Lingqin, and continued to follow Shengjing's devil six.

The latter is in fact a matter of separation.

With the support of the Eight Banners of the Northeast and the princes of Eastern Mongolia, Devil Six controlled the Northeast as a left-behind guard in Shengjing, leaving only the minister who was nominally Xianfeng, especially after his own mother committed suicide, there was only a little incense left between him and Xianfeng.

And he has already faced the Ming army.

And his brother could not provide him with any support, in fact, the devil six or those eight banners left behind in the northeast even thought of surrendering, but unfortunately their envoy was directly shot on the spot outside the Shanhai Pass, so they had no choice, they have been fighting to the death for the next five years, fighting with the Ming army from the Shanhai Pass north and the landing in Jinzhou, plus the attack in the four directions of Korea and Vladivostok. Although they received the help of the Russian army in the Far East, they could not stop the machine guns and cannons of the Ming army after all, and the devil six fell into the ice cave and drowned when he fled north to cross the Nenjiang River in the fourth year, and even the body was not found, leaving a very small number of remnants of the banner people to hide in the forest, just like their ancestors came from the Tunguska Forest and returned to the Tunguska Forest.

As for his brother......

His brother lived another five years after his death.

In fact, in the same year that the devil six drowned, Dihua was conquered by the Ming army, and the monk Lingqin shed the last drop of blood for the Qing Dynasty, and he was beaten into a sieve by the machine guns of the Ming army, but Xianfeng was rescued by his Russian father's people and went to Moscow.

He ended up committing suicide.

Because the Crimean War broke out.

In the face of the encirclement of the Anglo-French forces on the Western Front, as well as the continuous erosion of the Ming Dynasty on the Eastern Front, due to the limitation of the army's projection ability, Nicholas I, who knew that he could not compete with Yang Feng for Central Asia and Siberia, had to choose to give in when the Ming army conquered Tyumen and marched to Yekaterinburg. Because the transportation route was too long and could not continue to attack the Ming Dynasty, it quickly agreed to peace talks, and the two sides reached an armistice in 1854 Western calendar, and signed a treaty in Dihua to restore peace with the Irtysh River as the boundary, and at this time the Ming army had also destroyed Kokand, Bukhara and Khiva Khanate, and the Ming territory advanced to the Caspian Sea.

As a gift to this treaty, Xianfeng was given to Yang Feng by his Russian father.

However, Xianfeng hanged himself halfway.

Fortunately, Emperor Yang didn't care about such a trivial matter, even Xianfeng's dead body was disposed of by the Dihua garrison itself, and Yang Feng's gift to Nicholas I was a full set of equipment for the 200,000 Ming troops on the battlefields of Central Asia and Siberia, from front-loading rifled guns to cavalry rapid-fire rifles to cannons of various calibers, all of which were sold to the Russians at the price of new products and transported to the Russian troops in the Crimean battlefield through the Caspian Sea.

In the end, on the battlefield of Balaclava, the brave British cavalry was directly beaten into a sieve by the Russian cavalry with rapid-fire rifles, and then the gray cattle holding the front-loading rifled guns of the Ming Dynasty drowned the Anglo-French troops under the city of Sevastopol, and this protracted siege finally ended with the defeat of the Anglo-French forces, and Nicholas I completed the turnaround on the Crimean battlefield.

But he didn't emerge victorious either.

After all, Sevastopol was originally his territory, he just completed the siege, and the support provided by Yang Feng was not enough for him to complete the pre-war planned invasion of the Balkans, and also because of Yang Feng's support for Russia, especially the Ming army's step-by-step advance in the Indian Ocean, Britain and France had no intention of continuing a stalemate with Nikolai, and finally they also chose a truce and began peace talks.

During the peace talks, a great uprising against the British broke out in India, and the Ming army sent marines to forcibly land in Calcutta under the escort of ironclad ships on the grounds of protecting the expatriates.

Under Yang Feng's threat to India, Britain and France quickly concluded an armistice with Nicholas I.

Immediately afterwards, the British fleet led by the Duke of Wellington and the Royal Albert sailed to India, but in the face of the latest ironclad ships of the Ming army, these wooden sail battleships still did not dare to fight, after all, the latter is steel and they are wood, they have just evolved to the Armstrong cannon, and they are obviously unable to engage with the scary thick cannons of the Ming army in terms of firepower, and finally can only acquiesce to the existence of the Ming in the safe zone of Calcutta.

And then there's more safe zones.

This kind of concession-like security zone soon spread all over the east coast of India, even Colombo, which was not inferior to India, appeared, but the British could only refrain and refrain from it, and the same smuggled arms also appeared in large numbers in the hands of Indian rebels, including the famous Queen Jansi, and the Ming and British began to fight openly and secretly in India......

This struggle went on for many years.

Eventually, it even turned into a scuffle between Indian states.

In the Americas, through the war against Mexico through the alliance between the United States and the United States, the Ming Dynasty seized California, which was originally part of Mexico, and Oregon and other places that were still in the dispute between the United States and Britain. Fortunately, they also got an agreement, that is, the Ming would not expand east of the Rocky Mountains, of course, excluding the colonies that were still part of the British, in fact, the two sides remained friendly for a long time after that, while building railways from the east and west, while using those Indians as a medium, this open and secret struggle also continued for a long time.

Twenty-three years of harmony in the Ming Dynasty.

1865 A.D.

In the farmland outside a small town in Jinshan Mansion, a stout young woman was lying on the handrail of a new-style cocoon car, staring at the road ahead.

She is about thirty or forty years old, and her eyebrows can still see that she was quite beautiful when she was young, but her face has disappeared under the erosion of the wind and sand of the years, although she is not like those middle-aged women with a waist like a bucket, but her perennial working figure is no longer the graceful of her girlhood, the muscles on the arms in front of the sleeves are obviously visible, the palms of the two hands are full of calluses, and the thick skeleton on the thick ten fingers can be clearly seen, showing that these hands are also full of strength......

Well, it's a bit weird to describe a young woman like that.

A young woman of thirty years old.

At this moment she was looking at the road ahead, where a troop of cavalry was galloping by, and at the foreground was a young officer, dressed in a new green uniform, with a helmet on his head, a mantle on his back, a rifle and a saber in his saddle, and a revolver at his waist, galloping on a white steed on a field road after the rain.

She reluctantly looked at the figure.

She knew who it was.

This is the commander of a nearby garrison battalion, and it is said that he is also the nephew of Chen Chengying, the governor of the American colonies, who has excellent grades in the military academy and has been received by the God Emperor! Since being stationed nearby, she has immediately become the object of the dreams of those girls around her, of course, it is also the object of the dreams of lonely young women like her, but the difference is that they know that this is just a dream of chun.

She couldn't help but sigh.

For at this moment, on the other side of the path of the galloping cavalry, a man covered in dirt and hair like a chicken's nest was driving a dilapidated carriage and slowly walking towards her.

The two children behind her who were playing with earthworms immediately rushed over with cheers.

It's her man.

Soon the ugly man who was almost forty years old and smelled of sweat stood in front of her with a smile, and then took out a small cloth bag from his bosom with a trembling hand......

"You've found gold!"

The young woman's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed the cloth bag and exclaimed.

Then the light of gold appeared in her field of vision, and this dirty cloth bag was filled with sand gold of different sizes and colors, and she grabbed a handful from it, so that these small particles representing wealth fell like sand, and the golden light continued to flicker, at this moment, the figure of the white horse just now had already disappeared, and there was only these gold in her world......

"At least two hundred dragon dollars! We can buy slaves, we don't have to farm ourselves, we can buy new clothes. ”

She muttered excitedly.

The mute man next to her smiled happily as well, and then kept gesturing that he could go on and for more, and that the brook he had found was gold, and that the children beside them, though they did not understand what it meant, were infected by the joy of their parents, and were just as happy as they were.

"Let's go, go home, and treat you well!"

The young woman said, pulling her man.

She is Cixi, Lafayette, who had controlled an empire for decades in history, and now felt unprecedented happiness for the sand gold worth two hundred dragon yuan.

And just as she was taking her mute man back to her poor cabin, and then comforting the latter in her way, the cavalry that had just passed by her field of vision stopped in front of the holy shrine in Jinshan Mansion City, and the cavalry battalion commander Chen Yucheng hurriedly dismounted and walked into the holy shrine, and then knelt down and kowtowed on the stone floor with a reverent face, and in front of him knelt hundreds of military and political officials, including the colonial governor, who bowed to the ground in the same posture, quietly listening to the sound coming from the latest gramophone in front of them……

The voice of His Majesty the God Emperor farewell!
