I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Chapter 278: The Crown Prince Goes North, Dashun Advances East

Originally, when the news came that there were gold and silver mines in Japan, some ministers in the court 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 government of the Celestial Empire.

Moreover, that place is outside the Celestial Empire and does not belong to it, 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 currency of the Celestial Empire is gold, silver and copper coins, it seems that the large amount of gold and silver flowing into the market will have an impact on gold and silver coins.

The fact is that it won’t happen at all.

The essence of gold, silver and copper coins has never been gold, silver and copper, but the national destiny behind them. At most, the price of gold and silver will drop.

However, it will not have much impact on gold, silver and copper coins.

Because currency is the basis of a country's destiny, after discussion, the Ministry of Revenue and Bank of China have already started preparing for the issuance of banknotes. However, due to some trivial matters that need to be dealt with, no notice has been given for the time being to open the issue.

Since the gold and silver would not have any impact on the financial system of the Celestial Empire, the dynasty simply used them as bait to stimulate the Celestial Empire's people's desire to explore the outside world.

In fact, Wang Chao's plan was successful.

Because countless people obtained large amounts of gold and silver, the entire Celestial Empire was gradually filled with an impetuous atmosphere, and an idea arose in people's minds.

If they can, why can't I?

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages for most countries.

If the people have a pioneering spirit, it will naturally be easier to expand the territory.

However, if too many people leave, it will also cause a large outflow of personnel and talents.

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 about? A large number of people from Britain, France and other countries entered America. After a long time, they were isolated from their home countries and eventually became independent.

However, the situation in China is different. Firstly, the Chinese people have a deep-rooted sentiment towards their hometown.

Even if I leave the mainland, I will always miss returning to my hometown.

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

In addition, in today's Celestial Empire, transportation and communications are extremely developed. Even if you are thousands of miles away, it is just a piece of cake. Naturally, it is more difficult to be isolated from the mainland of Celestial Empire.

Moreover, even if the people of the Celestial Empire are living abroad, the country's fortune will still radiate.

When a large number of Celestial Empire people gather together, it is even possible to form a small sphere of Celestial Empire's national destiny, and the power of the dynasty, as well as the power of the Celestial Empire's gods and army, can be projected there.

In this way, Wang Chao naturally would not worry about a large number of people from the Celestial Empire being displaced and then establishing an independent country.

Given the population of the Celestial Empire, the dynasty would like everyone to leave.

By then, our population will surpass that of other countries in the world and will invisibly occupy the entire world.

However, because the Celestial Empire was founded only more than 20 years ago, many of the people's ideas have not yet changed.

Even though Japan was gifted with talent, the emergence of gold and silver mines did attract most people.

However, the number of people who actually take action 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 st year of the Celestial Empire, the dynasty issued an edict appointing the crown prince as the supervisor of the Northern Black Tortoise Army and leading guards to attack the Qing Kingdom in the north.

As for the reason, the Qing Dynasty once occupied countless Ming territories and massacred countless Ming people.

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

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

The fight reached as far north as the Arctic Ice Field. The original northern Rakshasa Kingdom was nearly destroyed by their attacks and was on the verge of losing all its territory.

Today, only the original territory around Moscow before 1533 remains.

Li Zicheng and others who had occupied East and West Siberia had to retreat again and again in the face of the fierce attacks of the Qing army. Finally, they had no choice but to lead their troops out to the sea again, all the way eastward, and actually entered the American continent.

Today, the American continent is still a colony of countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands, and does not have a unified political power.

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

However, facing the army of Li Zicheng that was almost holding the country hostage, these scattered gathering places were simply vulnerable and several of them 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 colonizers from Britain, France and other countries did not treat the local indigenous people as human beings. All they brought to the locals was slavery, exploitation, disease, killing, death and so on.

Li Zicheng was different. He had no aversion to the local indigenous people.

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

Since Li Zicheng wanted to establish a country here, it was naturally impossible for him to rely solely on the people they brought with them.

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

Naturally, Li Zicheng and his men 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 men was in no way inferior to that of the Qing Dynasty led by Dorgon, and was even faster.

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

At this point, the colonists from Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries were no match for us.

With no other options, the colonists from Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries began to unite and form an alliance to fight against Li Zicheng's army.

However, although it is better than before, it is still losing ground overall.

Because Li Zicheng would often lead the army in person, and his domineering dragon energy would suppress everyone.

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

Faced with the relentless advance of Li Zicheng's army, the coalition forces of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries finally could not help but held a joint meeting in the 18th year of the Celestial Empire to discuss the reasons for the coalition's successive defeats.

Everyone agreed that the reason why the coalition forces were defeated one after another and suffered continuous heavy losses was mainly because the emperor of the Dashun Kingdom lacked martial ethics. It was clearly a battle between two armies, but he insisted on using dragon energy to suppress others.

If they were also blessed with the dragon energy of national destiny, 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 led 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 say in their country.

As for stopping the attack of Dashun, or even defeating Dashun,

Haha, having tasted the sweetness of power, who would be willing to lose it again?

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.

Isn't it because they are unwilling to give up the power in their hands?

Similarly, people like George are no exception.

Finally, in the 19th year of the Tianchao Dynasty, facing Li Zicheng's powerful attack, the home countries of Britain, France, the Netherlands and others 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 that of the Dashun Kingdom.

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

However, the country's fortune is much weaker, and instead there are large areas of gray and black public resentment rising to the sky.

After all, they never treated the indigenous people as human beings, and there were naturally not many invaders coming from countries such as Britain and France.

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

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

At the same time, as the national destiny converged, a noble and domineering national destiny beast emerged in the sky above Georgetown, a bald eagle soaring in the sky.

His sharp eyes were fixed on the golden dragon of national destiny in the northwest direction.

Because when it was first established, it was intended to deal with the Dashun Kingdom.

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

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

Sure enough, with the blessing of the national destiny totem, they no longer suffered a one-sided defeat, and even won a few games occasionally.

Although they still suffered more defeats than victories, they were able to maintain the situation with the support of Western countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands.

When the Celestial Empire sent troops to the north to attack the Qing Dynasty, both sides still occupied half of North America each and were in a stalemate with each other.

On the other side, after receiving the news that the Celestial Empire was sending troops, Dorgon's face changed drastically and he slammed the table and stood up.

"boom!"

"crash"

In an instant, the extremely hard table in front of him, which was blessed by some runes, just emitted a tiny bit of light and then shattered.

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

While they were envious, jealous and resentful, they were also trying to steal the rune formations of the Celestial Empire.

Because China has a large-scale universal education, even elementary schools have rune training courses.

Some simple magical runes naturally and inevitably spread out.

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

Some simple defensive attacks, etc., can now be achieved with the help of runes.

In particular, some magical runes that enhance the toughness, firmness, and strength of matter are widely used by them.

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

And the most important thing, of course, is to use it on weapons.

Having suffered from the epoch-making crushing gun and artillery bombardment from the Celestial Empire, the surrounding countries have all invested tremendous efforts in the research of firearms.

Because they had the ready-made template of the Celestial Empire and the blessing of magical runes, their muskets and artillery were greatly improved by several generations.

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

They successfully developed advanced muskets and artillery, and even steam-powered machine tools.

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

If it weren't for the Rakshasa Kingdom, which had also achieved some results in research, it would have been destroyed by Dorgon's army long ago.

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

"This is too much! This Celestial Empire is really too much!"

Dorgon walked back and forth, his face turning pale and blue.

He didn't expect that even though they had already gone far away from the territory of the Celestial Empire, the Emperor of the Celestial Empire still refused to give up.

Do we have 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 civil and military officials below, all of whom had terrified faces and hung their heads in silence, Dorgon became extremely angry.

What a bunch of losers! The Celestial Army hasn't even attacked yet and they're already so frightened and panicked.

So when the Celestial Empire’s army actually attacks, will they be defeated immediately or even kneel down and surrender?

"My Lords, what do you think we should do next?"

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart that he was unwilling to admit, Dorgon asked in a deep voice.

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

"Mr. Fan, go ahead!"

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

"This"

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

However, everyone either looked straight ahead or looked down at their toes. No one cast a glance in his direction, and some even looked mocking.

Facing Dorgon's scorching gaze, Fan Wencheng's mouth twitched, and he finally spoke with difficulty:

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

Now that the Celestial Empire is attacking us in a big way, we may not be without the ability to fight back."

Before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Dorgon had already clapped his hands in applause.

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

Even if there is some gap, but with my fearless and brave men of the Eight Banners, we may still be able to fight.

As long as we can resist an attack from the Celestial Empire, we will be able to negotiate peace with it."
