Chapter 1061 The Founding Ceremony of the Chinese Empire (4)

(1061)

[I had something happened yesterday and I didn’t have time to update it. Sorry. I worked hard to make up for it today.]

One by one, a powerful square array, holding a sharp bayonet, walked past the rostrum with neat and powerful steps. Those who were fortunate to watch the ceremony on the rostrum were naturally excited. The audience below were already crazy. Many people would not even think about this military parade.

As for why the Hu Ben Army was able to defeat the Tartars, until now, many people still think that it is because God is favoring the Hu Ben Army and Zhang Zhun. However, after today's military parade, they will no longer believe in the luck. With such an army, what enemies cannot be defeated?

The military parade was absolutely powerful to the people, especially the representatives of the people from Jiangnan. When the Hu Ben Army swept across the entire Jiangnan like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, there was no fierce battle. In other words, there was no place that could particularly show the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army, and there was a lack of where the people could truly see the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army.

Since I had not personally seen it, I naturally could not have an objective evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army. It was not until this military parade that the representatives of the people in Jiangnan had seriously observed the true face of the Hu Ben Army. With such a powerful army, I believe that the future of the Huaxia Empire must be infinitely beautiful.

...

Among the crowd watching the parade, there were two pretty figures. In March, in the chilly spring, they had already put on beautiful dresses and showed the beautiful curves of women. If there was no magnificent military parade, the eyes of the people around them would definitely fall on them.

Because, one is Gu Hengbo and the other is Bian Yujing. Their beauty looks particularly outstanding among the crowd. It seems that there are no many women with such appearance in the world. What's more, their figures are so tall that even if they stand with men, they will not be much inferior.

Gu Hengbo and Bian Yujing both packed up their things and left Nanjing shortly after Zhang Zhun left Nanjing. After traveling around the country for a while, they came to Qingdao. The news that Zhang Zhun came to Nanjing and visited Meilou in person soon spread. They really couldn't bear the attention from all parties. Thirty-six strategies are the best way to leave.

Originally, there was no airtight wall in the world, and Zhang Zhun did not deliberately keep it secret, nor did he specifically ask everyone to keep it a secret. Therefore, everyone fully utilized their imagination to describe the meeting between heroes and beauties in thousands of vivid versions. Because there were too many discussions among the people, the two women did not dare to show their true names when walking outside, and they caused unnecessary trouble.

After traveling around the country for a long time, Gu Hengbo still did not change his view of Zhang Zhun. She still used Mr. Hengbo's large number from time to time to publish articles in newspapers to criticize the dark side of society. Sometimes, she even named Zhang Zhun for his inaction or wrong behavior, and her words were quite fierce.

It seems that the Hu Ben Army has a particularly relaxed review qualification for articles published by the name "Mr. Hengbo". As long as the articles published by "Mr. Hengbo" are basically unchanged and full text will be published. Of course, every time Mr. Hengbo's article is published, it will definitely be refuted by many people, which is a matter of course.

The layman didn't understand the trick, and he thought that Mr. Hengbo was one of Zhang Zhun's enemies. Many people secretly admired Mr. Hengbo's courage. In fact, insiders knew that this was the privilege given by Zhang Zhun to Gu Hengbo alone. Hehe, if someone else had changed, he would have been arrested by the Shadow Department long ago and I don't know where he died.

Every time Gu Hengbo's criticism article is published, he will be subject to a tide of counterattack, which is inevitable. Among the criticized articles, there is a person named Liu Yin, whose counterattack is the most fierce. No one outsider knows who Liu Yin is, and only a very small number of people know that she is Liu Rushi. The verbal battle between Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo will continue until one of the two can no longer scold him.

Bian Yujing disagreed with Gu Hengbo's extremeness. She felt that Gu Hengbo was a little obsessed with it. She implicated Zhang Zhun's personal grudges to the Huaxia Empire. She could no longer harm Zhang Zhun's personal, so she tried to hurt the newly established Huaxia Empire. Without Zhang Zhun's protection, she would have disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps, Gu Hengbo himself knew this. Perhaps, she was unwilling to change. Because she knew very well that once she followed the crowd and followed others to praise Zhang Zhun, Gu Hengbo would no longer be Gu Hengbo. She was just an ordinary woman with three-point beauty, and she was like everyone else.

Looking at the rostrum, Zhang Zhun, who was wearing military uniform and heroic, Gu Hengbo's eyes looked very complicated. She gently bit her teeth and said resentfully in a voice that only Bian Yujing could hear: "The villain is successful, and the monkey is crowned..."

Bian Yujing heard it, but didn't say anything.

She knew that Gu Hengbo was jealous. This was purely a woman's jealousy. A jealousy that even Gu Hengbo might not notice was quietly burning Gu Hengbo's heart. She was jealous of Liu Rushi, she was jealous of every woman around Zhang Zhun. Look at the person on the rostrum, a real man should be like this!

...

Zhu Youjian was also in the team watching the parade.

Taking care of the face of the old emperor, according to Zhu Youjian's own requirements, he was arranged in a special corner. Beside them, there were relatively few people watching. Zhu Youjian's original subordinates, Zhang Yixian, Wu Mengming, Hong Chengchou, Shi Kefa and others, were all here. They will follow Zhu Youjian to Africa in the near future and open up a new world.

Seeing the majestic Tiger Army, Zhu Youjian's face was very painful, but he was very excited. He finally understood why, as the emperor, he had the vastest land and the largest number of troops, and was eventually defeated. The heroes living in this era, whether it was Zhang Zhun or Huang Taiji, were far superior to him.

He had to start thinking deeply why his army could not do this? Why was he, as the emperor, finally ousted and exiled to 30,000 miles away? Such an end was still considered to be Zhang Zhu's kindness. If Zhang Zhu was like the founding emperor before, the Zhu royal family would have been extinct.

However, if the root problem is not solved, even when he arrives in Africa, he will probably be a devastated lord! It is indeed embarrassing to be driven off by his own subjects. However, if he arrives in Africa and cannot even deal with such a group of savages, it will be even more embarrassing. Without the Central Plains, he can still escape to Africa and start over. However, if he can't stand firm in Africa, where can he escape? Is Antarctica?

Before Zhang Zhun ascended the throne, Zhu Youjian met with Zhang Zhun alone. The outside world was not clear about what the two talked about. Zhang Zhun had clearly stipulated that the content of the conversation must be kept confidential for twenty years. However, after the conversation, Zhu Youjian's expression was still very excited and there was a kind of eager expectation.

Perhaps, it was the African continent that really aroused his interest. He had failed once and could not fail again for the second time. But could he really succeed in Africa? Can he really establish a new Ming Empire? Zhu Youjian had to fall into deep reflection.

...

Hong Chengchou and Shi Kefa also fell into deep contemplation.

The two of them were going to accompany Zhu Youjian to Africa and become Zhu Youjian's most capable subordinates. They were also allowed to lead a 3,000 troops to each lead as the basic force for the exploration of Africa. As long as they gain a foothold in Madagascar, the fleet of the Chinese Empire would provide them with maritime security protection.

Zhu Youjian himself has limited ability. After arriving in Africa, he basically has to rely on them to solve major events. By familiarizing himself with the information given to them by Zhang Zhun, they have already gained a rough understanding of the future. They also have a little bit of expectations for the future. After all, those who have failed do not want to fail again.

At that time, Africa had no powerful opponents except the Ottoman Empire in the north. In that vast area, there were only a large number of African indigenous people. The weapons they used were still in the Bronze Age and there were no muskets at all. If they could not gain a foothold in Africa under such circumstances, there was really nothing to complain about.

In the Central Plains, you are no other's opponent. In Africa, you are no other's opponent. What else can I say? Should Brigadier General Zhang put Zhu Youjian in Australia, which is not at all challenging? Of course it is impossible. It is better to make comprehensive preparations as much as possible, burn your boats, and prepare to settle on the African continent!

...

At the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire, there was another special person, Dorgon. He and Zhu Youjian both stood quietly in a remote corner, silently watching the founding ceremony of the entire Chinese Empire. There was no obvious expression on his face. However, if you observe carefully, you could still see a trace of flame burning in Dorgon's pupils.

In fact, Dorgon was a little worried about gains and losses. He hoped that Zhang Zhun would ascend the throne as the emperor and quickly establish the Chinese Empire. Because this means that he could leave the Chinese Empire and go to the American continent. This means that the Jurchens who migrated to the American continent can receive strong assistance from the Hu Ben Army.

Before the founding of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Zhun had met Dorgon alone. He agreed to Dorgon's request and sent him to the American continent. After all, the Jurchens who migrated to the American continent needed a strong leader to deal with the local Indian tribes and the continuous arrival of Spanish colonists.

After the Great Purge of the Hu Ben Army, all the senior officials of the Great Jin Kingdom, such as Huang Taiji, have become the dust of history, and Dorgon is the only surviving Jurchen leader. Zhang Zhun has agreed that after the founding of the new empire, he will be arranged to set off from Manila and follow the Black Tide route to the American continent to lead the remaining Jurchens.

However, Zhang Zhun also made a blunt statement with Dorgon that the Jurchens' existence on the American continent gave them space to survive, not to give them the opportunity to re-establish their country. The Jurchens could enjoy all the rights of the people of the Chinese Empire in any corner of the American continent. However, they could not have their own independent army.

Because the large army of the Hu Ben Army will soon arrive in the Americas. The Jurchens can join the Hu Ben Army, and under the leadership of the Hu Ben Army, they can deal with other indigenous peoples on the American continent and Spanish colonists. However, they cannot continue to have independent armed forces.

In Zhang Zhun's plan, whether it is North America, South America, or Australia, they are directly under the territory of the Chinese Empire. The Pacific Ocean is the inland sea of ​​the Chinese Empire. Within this range, no other independent kingdoms exist.

...

"I announce!"

"The Chinese Empire was founded!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zhun officially announced that the Chinese Empire was established.

Applause was thunderous.

History opens a new page.

The people singing and dancing began a big parade.

...

The aftermath of the establishment of the Chinese Empire was not basically settled until the end of March. A brand new world power will stand in the east of the world from now on. Well, to be precise, it will stand in every corner of the world. It will have a huge impact on the development of the whole world with a strong attitude.

After the founding of the Chinese Empire, the first major influence on the world was to launch a war. In April, Sun Chuanting's army swept across Vietnam, heading south, and attacked the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam. This is the most important rice-producing area in Southeast Asia. Then, the Hu Ben Army continued to move south and along the coastline, heading towards the Strait of Malacca.

It was May again in a blink of an eye. At the end of May, Zhang Zhun finally broke out from the red tape after the founding of the Chinese Empire and went to the Nanyang front line. His focus was still military. As for other matters, he threw them all to other departments. Zhang Zhun's approach was always to control the army himself and tossed with others.

In fact, only Zhang Zhun can jointly command the complex wars in the Nanyang area. Only Zhang Zhun understands the mixed landing and island-hopping operations. Faced with such a complex battle, even Lu Xiangsheng has to roll his eyes. Inexperienced people have to pay a heavy price. However, with Zhang Zhun, this price can be greatly reduced.

In June of the first year of Xia Wu, Zhang Zhun arrived at the Nanshan District, Hainan. Here, the Hu Ben Navy gathered the first and third fleets, as well as three battalions of Marines. Their target was Ji'ding, an important port city in southern Vietnam.
