Chapter 278 The Crown Prince Goes North, Dashun Goes East

Originally, when the news of gold and silver mines in Japan was received, some ministers in the court also wanted to nationalize them.

However, it was rejected by the dynasty.

Because although gold and silver are precious metals, they are not indispensable to the Celestial Empire.

Moreover, it is outside the Celestial Empire and does not belong to the Celestial Empire, so the Celestial Empire has no reason to nationalize it.

As for whether it will impact the monetary system.

Oh, how is that possible?

Although the Celestial Empire's currency is gold, silver and copper coins, it seems that a large amount of gold and silver flowing into the market will have an impact on gold and silver coins.

The fact is that it will not happen at all.

The root of gold, silver and copper coins has never been gold, silver and copper, but the national destiny on them. At most, the price of gold and silver will fall.

But for gold, silver and copper coins, it will not have much impact.

Even because the currency is fundamentally the national destiny, after discussion, the Ministry of Revenue Bank has been preparing for the issuance of paper money, but because there are still some trivial matters to be dealt with, it has not been notified to open it for the time being.

Since the gold and silver would not affect the financial system of the Celestial Empire, the dynasty simply used them as bait to stimulate the desire of the people of the Celestial Empire to explore the outside world.

In fact, the dynasty's plan was successful.

Because countless people obtained a large amount of gold and silver, the entire Celestial Empire was gradually filled with a sense of impetuousness, and an idea came into mind.

They can do it, why can't I?

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages for most countries.

The people have a pioneering spirit, so it is naturally easier to expand the territory.

But too many people leaving will also cause a large number of people and talents to flow out.

If most of the people in a country are scattered abroad, can it still be considered a unified country?

Population has always been an important part of a country.

How did the American country come from in the future? A large number of people from Britain, France and other countries entered America. After a long time, they were isolated from their own country, and finally they became independent.

However, the Celestial Empire is another situation. First of all, the people of the Celestial Empire have a kind of local sentiment engraved in their bones.

Even if they leave the mainland, they will always be concerned about returning to their hometown.

Even if they die, they hope to die in their hometown and at home.

In addition, the transportation and communication of the Celestial Empire is extremely developed now. Even if they are thousands of miles away, it is just a piece of cake. It is naturally more difficult to isolate them from the Celestial Empire.

Moreover, even if the people of the Celestial Empire are outside, there will still be the radiation of the national destiny.

When a large number of people of the Celestial Empire gather, it is even possible to form a small area of ​​the Celestial Empire's national destiny. Whether it is the power of the dynasty or the power of the Celestial Empire's gods and the army, they can be projected there.

In this way, Wang Chao will naturally not worry about the situation that a large number of people of the Celestial Empire will be stranded outside and then establish an independent country.

And with the population of the Celestial Empire, the dynasty wishes that everyone would go out.

At that time, the population that exceeds that of other countries in the world will occupy the entire world invisibly.

However, because the Celestial Empire has only been established for more than 20 years, many of the people of the Celestial Empire have not changed their minds.

Even if the Japanese talent crystallizes, the emergence of gold and silver mines has indeed attracted most people.

However, the number of real actions is still limited.

This situation was not completely changed until something happened, which also broke the inherent thinking of the people of the Celestial Empire.

In the 4354th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the 21st year of the Celestial Empire, the dynasty issued an order that the prince be the military supervisor of the Northern Xuanwu Corps, and lead 300 guards to go with the army to attack the Qing Kingdom in the north.

As for the reason, the Qing Kingdom had occupied countless Ming territories and killed countless Ming people.

The Celestial Empire has the obligation to avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty and pursue the murderer, and cannot give up just because the criminal escaped.

The current Qing court is ruled by Dorgon, and after more than ten years of development, it has become extremely powerful.

The northernmost battle reached the Arctic Ice Field. The original Rakshasa Kingdom in the north was almost collapsed and destroyed by them, and it was about to lose all its territory.

Now, only the original territory around Moscow before 1533 is left.

Li Zicheng and his people, who had occupied East and West Siberia, retreated again and again in the face of the fierce attacks of the Qing army. In the end, they had no choice but to lead their troops out to sea again, heading eastward and entering the American continent.

Today's American continent is still a colony of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries, and there is no unified regime.

Although they also began to build some fixed settlements, they had a base.

However, facing the army of Li Zicheng who almost held the country hostage, their scattered gathering places were simply vulnerable, and several gathering places were quickly defeated by Li Zicheng.

In this way, Li Zicheng gained a firm foothold without much effort.

And there is another important reason for this.

That is, the colonists of Britain, France and other countries did not regard the local indigenous people as human beings. They brought only slavery, exploitation, disease, killing, death, etc. to the locals.

Li Zicheng was different. He did not reject the local indigenous people.

The Chinese nation is an inclusive nation. Although the local aborigines are different from Li Zicheng and his people, they are not so different.

Since Li Zicheng wanted to establish a country here, he naturally could not rely only on the people they brought with them.

So, when Li Zicheng and his people began to absorb a large number of local indigenous people and provide them with advanced farming techniques, good food, clothing, housing and transportation, they quickly gained recognition.

Naturally, Li Zicheng and his people completely gained a firm foothold and began to develop rapidly.

In addition, there was no unified regime in North America at that time.

Therefore, the expansion speed of Li Zicheng and his people was not inferior to that of the Qing Dynasty led by Dorgon, and was even faster.

The mighty national destiny spread rapidly from north to south, and the dragon energy also expanded again and again, turning into a ten-thousand-foot dragon overlooking all directions.

At this time, the colonists of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries were no longer opponents.

There was no choice, and the colonists of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries began to unite to form a coalition to fight against Li Zicheng's army.

However, although it was better than before, it was still retreating as a whole.

Because Li Zicheng would lead the army in person at any time, and the domineering dragon energy suppressed the four directions.

Even if the coalition forces of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries formed a military formation, they could not make much waves in the face of the suppression of the national destiny dragon energy, and could only retreat again and again.

Faced with the continuous advance of Li Zicheng's army, the coalition forces of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries finally couldn't help it and held a joint meeting in the 18th year of the Celestial Empire to discuss the reasons for the coalition's continuous retreat.

Everyone agreed that the reason why the coalition forces retreated step by step and suffered continuous defeats was mainly because the emperor of the Dashun Kingdom did not have martial ethics. It was obviously a battle between two armies, but he insisted on suppressing others with dragon energy.

If they also had the blessing of national destiny dragon energy, they would definitely be able to stop the attack of the Dashun Kingdom.

In the end, under the interests and compromises of all parties, the coalition forces of various countries headed by George decided to temporarily establish an independent country in this distant America to fight against the Dashun Kingdom and maintain their interests in America.

Well, that's what they said to their own country.

As for blocking the attack of the Dashun Kingdom and even defeating the Dashun Kingdom

Haha, who would be willing to lose it again after tasting the sweetness of power?

Otherwise, Li Zicheng would not have fled from Shenzhou to Korea, then from Korea to East and West Siberia, and finally from East and West Siberia to the land of America, and established the Dashun Kingdom again.

The reason is that he is unwilling to give up the power in his hands?

Similarly, people like George will not be an exception.

Finally, in the 19th year of the Celestial Empire, facing Li Zicheng's strong attack, the British, French, Dutch and other countries compromised.

Otherwise, their interests in America would be completely ruined.

In June of the 19th year of the Celestial Empire, they established the United States in Georgetown, and George became the first king.

With the establishment of the country, the national destiny of the United States also expanded instantly, covering a large area, which was not much smaller than the Dashun Kingdom.

Of course, this refers to the land they invaded and occupied.

The national destiny is much weaker, but there are large areas of gray and black people's resentment rising to the sky.

After all, they never treated the natives as human beings, and naturally there would not be many invaders coming from Britain, France and other countries.

In this way, how strong can the national destiny of the new United States be?

However, it is an independent country after all, and under the cover of national destiny, it can also interfere with the attack speed of Li Zicheng's army.

At the same time, under the convergence of national destiny, a noble and domineering national destiny beast, a white-headed eagle soaring in the sky, evolved in the sky above Georgetown.

With sharp eyes, it locked directly on the national destiny golden dragon in the northwest direction.

Because it was established at the beginning to deal with the Dashun Kingdom.

Therefore, the new national destiny totem naturally rushed straight to the national destiny golden dragon of the Dashun Kingdom, ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

After the founding of the country, George led the United States to fight several wars with Li Zicheng's Dashun Kingdom.

Sure enough, with the blessing of the national destiny totem, they were no longer defeated one-sidedly, and even occasionally won two small victories.

Although there were still more defeats than victories, with the support of Western countries such as Britain, France and the Netherlands, the situation was finally maintained.

When the Celestial Empire sent troops to the north to fight against the Qing Dynasty, the two sides still occupied half of North America and were in a stalemate.

On the other side, Dorgon, after receiving the news of the Celestial Empire's dispatch of troops, immediately changed his face and slammed the table.

"Bang!"

"Crash"

In an instant, the extremely hard table in front of him, which was blessed by some runes, only lit up a glimmer, and then shattered.

As the Celestial Empire became stronger, all kinds of rune tools became popular, and the surrounding countries would naturally not remain indifferent.

While envious and jealous, they were also trying to steal the Celestial Empire's rune formation.

Because the Celestial Empire is a large-scale popular education, even elementary schools have rune practice courses.

Some simple magical runes were inevitably spread out.

Therefore, over the years, the surrounding countries have also developed some simple rune applications.

Simple defense and attack can be done with runes.

Especially some runes that enhance the strength of materials, such as toughness and firmness, are widely used by them.

For example, the table in front of Dorgon, and some other items.

The most important thing is to use it on weapons.

After being bombarded by the cross-era crushing guns and artillery of the Celestial Empire, the surrounding countries have invested a lot of effort in the research of firearms.

Because of the ready-made template of the Celestial Empire, coupled with the blessing of the magical runes, their muskets and artillery have also been greatly improved by several eras.

Especially the Qing Dynasty, when it retreated, it also brought a large number of craftsmen with it.

Advanced muskets and artillery were successfully developed one by one by them, and even machine tools powered by steam engines were successfully developed.

In this way, all kinds of advanced guns and artillery began to be quickly equipped in the army.

If it weren't for the fact that the Rakshasa Kingdom had also developed some results, it would have been destroyed by Dorgon's army.

It can be said that because of the Dynasty, the super butterfly, the war in this world is transforming towards a modern war mode, but it is hard to say whether the transformation can be completed.

"Too much bullying, this Celestial Empire is really too much bullying!"

Dorgon walked back and forth, his face turning pale.

He didn't expect that they had already left the Celestial Empire far away, and the Celestial Empire emperor was still unwilling to give up.

Is it necessary to force them to death?

However, no matter what Dorgon and his men thought, the attack of the Celestial Empire's army was a foregone conclusion.

Looking at the panicked and silent civil and military officials below, Dorgon was furious.

What a bunch of rubbish! They were so frightened before the Celestial Empire's army even came.

Then when the Celestial Empire's army really came, would they be defeated or even kneel down and surrender?

"My fellow ministers, what do you think we should do next?"

Taking a deep breath, Dorgon asked in a deep voice, suppressing the panic he was unwilling to admit.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one was willing to speak first.

"Mr. Fan, you speak!"

Seeing that no one spoke, Dorgon began to name names directly.

"This"

Fan Wencheng's face froze, and he looked at Dorgon in embarrassment, and then at his colleagues.

However, everyone either looked straight ahead or looked down at their toes. No one cast a glance at him, and some even showed a mocking look.

Facing Dorgon's glaring eyes, Fan Wencheng's mouth twitched, and finally he said with difficulty:

"I think that after all these years of development, although our muskets and artillery are not as good as those of the Celestial Empire, they should not be much different.

Now that the Celestial Empire is attacking in large numbers, we may not be without the ability to fight."

Before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Dorgon had already applauded.

"Good! Mr. Fan said it well. After all these years of development, is my Qing Dynasty inferior to the Celestial Empire in any way?

Even if there is some gap, but with my brave and fearless Eight Banners men, we may not be without the ability to fight.

As long as we can withstand an attack from the Celestial Empire, we can negotiate with it" (End of this chapter)
