Chapter 49 of Part One

  The news of the encounter with Japanese warships spread to Beijing, and the whole China was delighted again. Especially the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces who suffered greatly from the Wokou pirates were overjoyed.

  Not long after, the Japanese Emperor and Tokugawa Ieyasu sent envoys to explain the matter in detail, saying that some Japanese bandits intentionally harmed their interests. Therefore, please forgive the Heavenly Dynasty, and present 30,000 taels of gold, 70,000 taels of silver, as well as coral and pearls.

  Zhu Ao received the Japanese envoy in his own residence in Beijing and expressed his belief that the good people of Japan would not do such a thing, and expressed sympathy and understanding for Japan. He also said that if necessary, the Heavenly Kingdom of China could help Japan to eliminate these bandits. The Japanese envoy left Beijing with a satisfactory answer and returned to Japan via Tianjin.

  Mainly inhabited in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning provinces and autonomous regions of Mongolian Autonomous Prefectures and counties, others scattered in Ningxia, Hebei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Beijing and other places.

  Spoken in Mongolian, belonging to the Altaic language family. Chinese Mongolian has Inner Mongolian dialect, Barga-Buryat dialect and Oirat dialect. Uses Mongolian script. In the early 3rd century, the Mongolian script was created from the Old Uyghur alphabet, and after several reforms, it became the standardized Mongolian script used today. Most Mongols believe in Lamaism.

  The name "Mongolia" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, when it was only the name of one of the many tribes in Mongolia. The tribe's holy land was located on the east bank of the Erguna River, and later gradually moved westward. The various tribes competed with each other to plunder population, livestock, and wealth, forming endless tribal wars. 20 years after Temujin was enthroned as the Great Khan of Mongolia, he was titled Genghis Khan and established the Mongolian nation, thus appearing in northern China for the first time a strong, stable, and expanding ethnic group - the Mongols. Genghis Khan unified the various tribes of the Mongols, and later Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, unifying China and constantly carrying out large-scale military activities to expand its territory. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian people have made significant contributions in various aspects such as politics, military affairs, economy, science and technology, astronomy, culture, art, medicine, etc.

  When the pillar of Manchuria fell, no one thought that the wheel of history would continue to turn like this. The troops belonging to the Second Army Group are now mainly cavalry on the battlefield, and they have been galloping intentionally on the Mongolian grasslands. The retreat of the Mongolian king, nobles, and ministers has left behind only a group of Mongolian people and cities. The Mongolian king, nobles, and ministers have abandoned their land and started to retreat to Manchuria, and now the entire Manchuria has shrunk to the vicinity of Shenyang. Modern animal husbandry technology was transmitted from the empire's interior to Mongolia, and the ancient nomadic nation had already ended this nomadic life. The low-tax policy has greatly improved the living standards of the Mongolian people. Along the way, the Second Army Group also encountered some big and small resistance and sneak attacks. But they managed to get through it. The propaganda team members also carried out in-depth propaganda work, but the initial effect was not great. Later, they found that there were no suitable scripts for the Mongolian people, so they absorbed some young Mongolians locally and added some new scripts that truly reflected the oppression of ordinary herders by the nobility among the Mongolian people. The enthusiasm of the entire Mongolian people was mobilized.

  Under the imperial policy, all herdsmen were allocated a place of their own as pasture. Many young Mongolian boys, after a period of night school training, applied to join the People's Army. After the Mongolians joined, the cavalry tactics of the Lü army were greatly improved. The boys' lively personalities performed various horse stunts in the army, earning rounds of applause. Mongolia's open-pit coal mines are very rich. In areas such as Yihekou Alliance, Xilinguole Alliance, Hulunbuir Alliance, Chifeng City, and Zherim Alliance, coal reserves are most concentrated. After a period of stability, some Mongolian nobles and royal children were required to be sent to the central government for study. Local armed police forces were also established. Upon learning of Mongolia's mineral resources, the local mining bureau quickly submitted a report to the empire, recruiting civilian workers from inland areas to work in Mongolia with high salaries, allowing entire families to migrate there. This not only expanded the Mongolian region but also brought supportive ideas from inland people, stabilizing the Mongolian region.

  At the same time, Tibetan lamas and pandits came to pay homage to the Chinese Empire and express their submission. Zhu Xi also took this opportunity to confer upon them the title of "Protectors of the Nation". They were invited to Beijing and other places in Central China for academic exchanges with some monks.

  The Third Army Group. The troops under Gao Wenguang also swept across the entire Western Regions in Xinjiang.

  The Second Group Army gathered on the outskirts of the three northeastern provinces after being pacified in Mongolia, or rather, after the voluntary withdrawal of the Mongolian princes.

  Just as the First Army Group was about to launch an attack on the last stronghold of the Manchu people, a shocking news came from Beijing - Zhu Ao, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, due to pneumonia infection and ineffective treatment, officially died in July 1959.

  Zhu Xiao was arranging the final attack tactics at the General Command. Over the past few months, the form of the attack had been getting better and better. The Mongolian princes and ministers had all escaped to Manchuria, thinking that there would be a quiet refuge there. So they gave up large tracts of land in Mongolia, which was unthinkable to Zhu Xiao. Xinjiang and Tibet also successively surrendered to the Empire. Now, the entire empire's territory only had one place in the northeast that had not been incorporated. Zhu Xiao looked at the map on the table, when suddenly the entire city of Beijing sounded a very urgent alarm.

  Zhu Xiao frowned and asked the guard, "What's going on? Why is the whole city on high alert?" He ordered the guards to go out and investigate. A commotion was heard outside the headquarters, and Zhu Xiao walked out to find everyone kneeling down and saying, "Your Imperial Highness, the Emperor has passed away."

  At this time, Zhu Xiaoren was completely stunned. The pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "ding" as his body tilted.

  The entire newly-born nation was plunged into infinite sorrow. Envoys from various countries also came to offer condolences. Zhu Xiao had succeeded the new emperor according to the constitution, and named the Chinese Empire. And in accordance with the will of the previous emperor, the year number was abolished. The Han yuan calendar was uniformly adopted. The whole country was exempt from business and industrial taxes for one year after the new emperor's accession. Agriculture and animal husbandry were exempt from tax for three years.

  In July of the same year, shortly after the death of the previous emperor, the First Army Group fought a bitter battle and annihilated the die-hard anti-communist elements in Manchuria. The representative of the Manchu people was the fourth grandson of Shunzhi Emperor.

  In September of the same year, the Goryeo Dynasty of Korea sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Empire.

  In the same year, 0 months. The four major ports of the Empire. At the same time, an ironclad warship was launched. Became the newly established Far Pacific Fleet. Up to this point, the Chinese Imperial Navy included the Home Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the four major fleets. Suddenly became the world's number one navy.

  In the same year and month, the army began to reorganize its troops nationwide. The country was divided into nine major military regions: East, South, West, North, Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, and Central. There were more than 530,000 local armed police forces. The regular field armies were divided into eight large group armies, cavalry independent regiments, Eagle Special Forces, and the Capital Garrison Command. There were more than 1 million regular troops.

  In March 1959, the air force began to be reorganized. The whole army was divided and a new bomber regiment was established. And three flying regiments. There were more than 400 aircraft in total.

  In May 1959, the two-year anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Empire was approaching. Zhu Xiao and Li Min held a grand wedding ceremony. By the time Zhu Xiao got married, the remaining bandits and local private armed forces across the country had basically been eliminated, ethnic conflicts had been largely resolved, and the whole country was at peace. The people's basic needs for food and clothing had also been met.

  Epilogue

  I'm grateful for the readers' support all this time. To be honest, I only realized how many words I had written when I finished the first part. It's really unimaginable. There are definitely many mistakes in it. Please forgive me, a rookie writer. Originally, I didn't plan to finish the first part so early. After returning home, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. The results were not optimistic. Due to my illness, I had to end the first part prematurely. I hope you can forgive me. During the new year period, I will find some foreign materials to prepare for writing the second part about external colonization. Future updates won't be fast. I don't dare to expect everyone to read it, just hoping one person supports me is enough. Also, I want to ask if anyone has good traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions or treatment experiences for hepatitis B? If so, please add my QQ 25383897 or send an email to aiji88885@ or directly call my phone 387433945. Please help me, thank you.
