The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 54: The Strongest Man in the Tenth Century AD!

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun
Youzhou City,
The door that had been closed to the Central Plains dynasty for 112 years finally opened to the Han people.
Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices!
This is a "shi to my children" by Lu You, a "less popular" poet in the Song Dynasty!
Wanting to express his longing for his hometown is also what Zhang Cheng wants to say!
But from then on, neither Lu You nor he needed this poem at all!
On the blue bricks, war horses galloped.
The soldiers in bright armor are holding their heads high, showing their bravery.

Because they defeated 200,000 Liao troops three days ago and incorporated the entire Yanyun into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"My fellow countrymen? Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. We, the Han people, have fought back!"

Riding in the center, Zhang Cheng shouted to the surroundings.

As Zhang Cheng finished speaking, the elderly people standing on both sides of the road couldn't help but burst into tears.

Because they have been waiting for this day for too long.

Ever since Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun, they have been waiting for more than a hundred years.
And now, the imperial court finally sent a large army to fight back.

They no longer have to live under the control of the Khitans!
"The Ming army is mighty, the Ming army is mighty!"

Raising his arm and clenching his fist, Zhang Cheng could not help but roar.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Just as the neat words resounded through the sky, the whole of Yanyun couldn't help but burst into boiling cheers.

With tears in his eyes, Bao Zheng, as the Prime Minister accompanying the army, could not help but wipe away his tears.

Because when he was a minister of Zhao Song, he had no way to bring back the people who were waiting for him.

"Cousin, we won't be infamous for a thousand years this time!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but get excited.

After hearing what Situ Yaozu said, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Be bolder. Is it possible that we will be famous for generations to come?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but laugh and seemed very happy.

Three years later, the Liao Dynasty officially withdrew from the stage of history.

Because of the rise of the Jin people, the already decaying Liao Kingdom had no choice but to turn to the Western Regions.

But after arriving in the Western Regions, they discovered something even more terrifying: the Ming Dynasty had already occupied this place.
With no other options, the Liao people were forced to fight with the Tungusic people for territory in order to survive.

While the Jin people were enjoying the former territory of the Liao Kingdom, they never expected one thing, that is, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a man named Zhang Xinzhi, was a guy without martial ethics!
On the day when the Jin people officially established their country, the Ming army sent General Di Qing and Deputy General Wang Ping to directly attack Zhongdu.

That is the Liaoning area today!
Facing the sudden attack of the Ming army, Wanyan Chong had no idea why.
Obviously, when they attacked the Liao Kingdom, they also exchanged what they had, and even provided food and weapons. But why did the Ming Dynasty raise the butcher knife against them after the Liao people left?
With such unbelievable thoughts, Wan Yan Chong collapsed while running away.

As for those Jin people who had not yet had the chance to enjoy wealth and glory, their household registration was rewritten and they were left in Liaodong to learn farming.

A few years later, the Ming army occupied Inner Mongolia in the north, and its troops once reached Siberia.

Crossing the Pacific Ocean to North America,

Go west to the Caspian Sea and confront the Arab countries head-on!
In the year when Zhang Cheng was 35 years old, sweet potatoes, corn, yams and other overseas crops were found, which made the population of Ming Dynasty climb to another peak.
New Capital Youzhou,

In front of the spacious hall, civil and military officials were following Zhang Cheng to the door.

At the moment when the brilliant fireworks continued to rise into the sky, Bao Zheng and others held cigarettes in their hands and talked about interesting things at home.
Princess Yingxing walked out in the queen's attire and said, "Your Majesty, my brother is here!"

"Oh, is my uncle here?"

Hearing Princess Yingxing's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile, and asked Feng Suzhen and others behind him to leave. At this time, Zhao Zhen, led by the eunuch, came over.
Looking at the former "Emperor Renzong", Bao Zheng and others hurriedly bowed and retreated.
When the entire hall was cleared, Zhang Cheng turned around and looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Brother-in-law, I am no worse than your Zhao family as an emperor, right?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhao Zhen did not speak, but put his hands behind his back and said, "Not bad at all!"

They smiled at each other. Zhang Cheng said nothing more, but started talking to him about the children's education.

Japan, Kyoto, Castle Tower

As the emperor, Chai Wenyi was reprimanding his ministers.

Facing his subjects who were looking at him with fear on their faces, Chai Wenyi said proudly: "Next year, I will double the tribute!"

"Your Majesty, you must not double the amount next year!"

Seeing Chai Wenyi say this, the ministers below immediately complained.

The number of people who die in mines every year cannot be measured in numbers; it is almost as if there is no one living anywhere!

"I am the emperor, you all have to listen to me!"

Chai Wenyi roared, pointing at the minister and said, "Take him away and kill him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After hearing what Chai Wenyi said, the warriors of the Chai family took him away directly.

Lying on the dragon chair, Chai Wenyi crossed his legs and said proudly: "This is what an emperor is like. Zhao Zhen is still too weak!"

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. There is a rebellion in the east and they refuse to recognize your rule!"

Rushing in quickly, a eunuch couldn't help but shout,

"Rebellion again? These lowly people are so idle that they have nothing to do. Take them all to Siberia to farm. Remember, you have to sell them for a high price this time. The last time you gave them to Emperor Ming, they were too cheap!"

As he spoke, Chai Wenyi couldn't help but become domineering.
When Chai Wenyi was bullying the Japanese, Situ Yaozu from India was also dumbfounded.

Because he didn't expect that this place was so rich.
Just when Situ Yaozu thought that his strong presence would cause all kinds of "rebellion" here, he found that this group of people didn't even want to rebel.
"What kind of magical place is this?"

Looking at the scriptures in his hand, Situ Yaozu was dumbfounded, because this group of people actually believed in the afterlife.

That is to say, the sufferings in this life will allow them to enjoy endless wealth and glory in the next life!
After watching the Buddhists train these turbaned Indians into "good citizens", Situ Yaozu smiled, just like his cousin Zhang Cheng, as happy as Tom Cat!
More than 800 years later, in front of a museum somewhere,

The students looked at the objects placed around them and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Because these are precious cultural relics "borrowed" from various countries.
At this moment, the tour guide pointed to a portrait and said, "This is the Ming Taizu, the Xinchu Emperor, the one with the surname of Tiandi, the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty, the General of Pingnan, the man who restored Yanyun, the conqueror of America, the king of kings across Asia, Europe and Africa, the strongest man in the tenth century AD, Zhang Cheng!"

Looking up, the students looked at a portrait of a young man in black robes and were immediately amazed.

Because this person is even more famous than the previous Emperor Taizong of Tang!
"According to unofficial historical records, the Ming Taizu was once a beggar."

"This official history may not be authentic, but this tour guide's unofficial history is really wild. Did Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty once work as a beggar?"

"The Situ family has records that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty started his career with just a few copper coins!"

As the voices of discussion were heard all around, a young man looked at the copper coin around his neck and silently covered his face.
Because his ancestors were beggars.
Zhang Cheng: Where is the historian?
Situ Yaozu: It’s not me, it’s definitely not me!
