Chapter 42: A Nation Full of Contradictions, the Final Cleansing
"Thank you, Emperor, for your grace."

As the imperial edict was read out, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't expect that Ye Chen would actually confer the title of Marquis of Daming on him.

Although he had been prepared in advance and knew that Ye Chen would definitely treat him preferentially, he did not expect it to be so generous and bold.

You have to know that this is a title of marquis, which can be said to be the highest pinnacle that ordinary people can achieve. Even if he is a marquis without any real power, he is still a marquis.

From now on, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he can live a life of debauchery, eating and waiting for death. He has money and face. It can be said that he has reached the peak of his life in an instant.

Ye Chen decided on the reward for Zhu Cilang after careful consideration.

After all, no matter what, Zhu Cilang is the nominal ruler of China and represents the name of Chinese orthodoxy.

In addition to the other party's behavior this time, if the reward is small, it would be better not to give it, because if the reward is small, it would make him seem stingy.

To him, it is just a marquisate without real power and is insignificant. But if it can make China completely united, it can be said that it is absolutely worth it.

Look, after hearing the reward for Zhu Cilang, the civil and military officials and many ordinary people behind him all looked much more relaxed, and their rejection of Ye Chen was greatly reduced.

Noticing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The hearts of people in this world, the minds of Chinese people are the most complicated and difficult to understand, but sometimes the minds of Chinese people are also easy to satisfy.

It can be said that the Chinese are a very contradictory nation.

such as.

The five thousand years of Chinese history is a complete history book of war. It can be said that people were either fighting or on the way to a war.

But at the same time, it is also a history book filled with the word peace.

However, it is precisely because of this opposition and shield, and their endless entanglement, that such a brilliant civilization was created.

……

With Ye Chen's arrival, all the rebels in China came to his side in the following days.

Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy.

Suddenly, all major cities were crowded with people.

At the same time, major cities have restored their original order.

Half a month later, the clouds of war over China were swept away.

At the same time, everyone knew that all this was brought about by the Yanhuang Empire. For a time, the name of the Yanhuang Empire was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After successfully taking over the Chinese land, Ye Chen finally found the time to deal with those empires that had no foresight.

For example, the empires that were expelled by Gu Hongchen, and the subsequent empires that overestimated their own capabilities and wanted to negotiate terms with the Yanhuang Empire.

This time, Ye Chen dispatched troops to these empires in batches. At the same time, he ordered the Russian Dynasty, the Mughal Empire, the Safavid Dynasty and other surrendered empires to send troops to cooperate with the army of the Yanhuang Empire to conquer these countries.

In their hearts, they did not want to agree to this because Ye Chen wanted them to be the main force of the attack and serve as cannon fodder.

But the situation is not in their favor, and they have already expressed their submission to the Yanhuang Empire. If they don’t agree now, it would be a betrayal. It is estimated that Ye Chen will send troops over the next moment.

So, in the end, they had no choice but to send troops there.

Qing Empire.

After hearing the news reported by the guards below, Emperor Aisin-Gioro Huang Taiji stood up in shock.

After being in a daze for a long time, he sat down dejectedly, muttering softly, "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

At this time, the ministers below all looked pale, because the news that the guard just said was that the army of the Yanhuang Empire was attacking the border of the empire.

Among them, the prince Aisin-Gioro Fulin was even more pale, because he knew the reason. During the peace talks, he put forward some conditions to the Yanhuang Empire in order to gain more benefits.

Although Huang Taiji asked him to do this, he was an envoy at the time. So, if someone was to be blamed, it would have to be him.

As for what he could think of, the other ministers were all as smart as monkeys, and they could figure it out. At this moment, they all looked at him with red eyes, as if they had some vengeance against him for killing their father.

“Your Majesty, I believe that the Yanhuang Empire’s attack on our border must have been caused by something offensive that the Crown Prince said when he went to the Yanhuang Empire for peace talks, which led to the other side attacking us.

Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to grant the death of Aixinjuelu Fulin for the sake of the millions of people of the Qing Empire, so as to express to the Yanhuang Empire..."

Guwalgiya Oboi, one of the ministers, stepped out immediately and said righteously while looking at Huang Taiji above him.

Seeing this, the other ministers' eyes suddenly lit up, and then they hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal and implore Your Majesty to execute the Crown Prince..."

"I second the proposal..."

……

After Oboi spoke, the ministers in the hall followed suit. At this moment, they only wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

Otherwise, once the Yanhuang Empire’s troops arrive at the city, it will be too late.

Aisin-Gioro Fulin looked at the group of righteous ministers around him who seemed to be caring about the Qing Dynasty, and he felt a suffocating feeling of being abandoned by everyone.

Afterwards, he looked up at his father, Emperor Huang Taiji, and found that there was some movement in Huang Taiji's eyes, which made him even more disheartened.

He knew that he had to take the blame this time.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a surge of blood in his chest. The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his eyes went black and he passed out.

Seeing Aixinjueluo Fulin suddenly spurting blood and fainting, everyone was stunned for a moment and then acted as if they hadn't seen anything.

Above.

Huang Taiji looked at the "loyal" eyes of his ministers and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The next moment, he announced the crimes committed by the crown prince, and then had the crown prince tied up and sent to the front line to see if he could quell the war.

After seeing the crown prince being dragged away like a dead dog, all the ministers shouted, "Your Majesty is wise."

Hearing this, Huang Taiji's mouth twitched involuntarily. If everyone had called him like this before, he would have been happier, but now, haha, he only felt full of ridicule in his ears. At this moment, he really wanted to kill these bastards in front of him.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming himself down, Huang Taiji began to discuss with everyone how to deal with this war next.

Obviously, Huang Taiji would not be naive enough to think that he could force the Yanhuang Empire to withdraw its troops by sacrificing the life of a crown prince.

The reason why the crown prince was sent to the Yanhuang Empire for disposal was just a glimmer of hope. After all, before things were settled, no one could be sure whether this method would be effective.

The border of the Qing Empire.

The armies of the Russian Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate served as the main force in frantically attacking the borders of the Qing Empire.

In the rear, the army of the Yanhuang Empire assisted the main forces of the two countries.

Upon seeing this, the generals of the two countries who were in charge of this attack looked as ugly as if their mother had died.

It was really Ye Chen's fault this time. He let their soldiers be the main force, and the army of the Yanhuang Empire just played by the rear and picked up heads the whole time.

In the end, after the battle, 99% of them died, and only some unlucky soldiers of the Yanhuang Empire died.

Anyone who sees this situation will not look happy.

At this time, the two of them saw the grief and sorrow on the face of the general of the Yanhuang Empire, and they couldn't help but clench their fists and said with gritted teeth: "General Yan, you really love your soldiers like your own sons. You are so sad just because a few soldiers died."

"I can't help it. These soldiers under my command were all handed over to me by their parents. If they die in battle here, how can I explain to their parents when I return? Oh, it's so heartbreaking."

As he spoke, Yan Yun couldn't help but sigh.

After hearing this, the two of them almost wanted to hit the person. They had never seen anyone so angry.
