The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 792: Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is the Ming Dynasty!

August, 345 AD

Even though the Ran Wei was established under Zhang Cheng's advance planning, it still failed to stop the progress of history and was eventually defeated.
Although its existence is like a meteor, it still left behind a shocking statement.

Anyone from the six barbarians inside and outside the country who dares to use weapons will be beheaded!
After several days of planning, the court finally chose an auspicious day.
After Zhang Cheng's three refusals, Ran Zhixiang announced his abdication, and the Ran Wei officially disappeared in the long river of history!
And what replaced it was Ming, the Great Ming!
After ascending the throne and becoming emperor and establishing the country, Zhang Cheng conferred the title of Hereditary An Ning Duke on the Ran family!
Zhang Cheng reformed the imperial court and abolished the three officials. In addition to the six new ministries, he also established the Grand Council, the Cabinet, and other places.

One of the two parties was in charge of internal affairs, while the other was in charge of the military, and they were not subordinate to each other.

As for the counties under its jurisdiction, they all began to improve, with military officers guarding and civil officials governing.
Just when the Ming Dynasty was beginning to shine across the world like a rising sun, envoys from the Eastern Jin Dynasty arrived.
In the court, the Eastern Jin envoy looked at the person sitting on the throne in front of him and immediately said, "Here,

"Wait, don't worship me yet. I want to ask you, don't you know, have I ascended the throne?"

To stop the messenger from speaking, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak.
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, the envoys from the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell silent, because what did he mean?
But looking at the envoy, the court officials of the Ming Dynasty all laughed, because His Majesty wanted benefits!
"this."

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, the envoy was completely confused at this moment.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng said, "Messenger, you see, my Ming Dynasty was also founded by Han people. Now we are short of food and grass. How about sending me a million dan of grain?"

"I can't decide this!"

Hearing these words suddenly, the messenger was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"You can't make the decision? Then what can you decide? How about ceding Shouchun and other places? I'm worried that I have no place to cross the river to the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

Looking at the envoy, Zhang Cheng's words made the ministers laugh again.

"Shouchun? How can this be possible? What does the Ming King want Shouchun for?"

The envoy looked at Zhang Cheng in disbelief. He had not expected that the other party would speak so explosively.
"If I want Shouchun, of course I have to cross the river and attack your Eastern Jin!"

Zhang Cheng laughed and started to joke.
After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the military officers of the Ming Dynasty laughed so hard that they couldn't help laughing.

After all, His Majesty really likes to tease people. Didn’t he get stunned when he saw the envoy from the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

"you you you!"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng, the Eastern Jin envoy really wanted to say that it was an insult to the gentleman, but when he saw the crowd staring at him with eager eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "I need to go back and report to His Majesty!"

"Who should we report to? Your Majesty? Isn't the power of your Eastern Jin Dynasty in the hands of the aristocratic families? The four great families of Wang, Xie, Huan, and Yu. How can the Sima family be qualified to govern the world?"

Patting the dragon throne, Zhang Cheng leaned forward and said, "Go back and tell Sima Dan that he is not qualified to be compared with me, because I am not a puppet emperor. I am the Ming Emperor Zhang Cheng. Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

There was a roar, and the military officer immediately roared.

Seeing this scene, the messenger was frightened and stepped back repeatedly, his face turned pale.
Because he didn't expect that someone would expose the hypocrisy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in broad daylight!
"Go back and give me a reward. Does Sima Shi deserve it?"

Looking at the envoy calmly, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Take my seal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As Zhang Cheng finished speaking, a maid came forward and handed over the imperial seal.
Slowly opening the box, Zhang Cheng held the imperial seal that symbolized power in his hand and said, "Do you see it? Qin lost its power, and the heroes chased it. Now the destiny of the world belongs to me, the Ming Dynasty, not the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

"When you, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, moved south, you had already lost the world. The northern Han people will never recognize a dynasty like yours. You are weak and rotten, like a rotten tree."

With a loud shout, Zhang Cheng immediately shouted angrily: "Get out of my Ming Dynasty. If I want something, I will bring my soldiers to get it myself!"

"Get out of Ming!"

"Get out of Ming!" As Zhang Cheng spoke, the civil officials and military officers around him couldn't help but roar.

Hearing the voices of the crowd, the messenger left with a look of fear on his face.
Because the Ming Dynasty seems to be different from other places, they seem to have a more domineering spirit!
In the court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

When Sima Dan heard what the messenger said, he became furious.
Because he hated it most when people said he was a puppet, but this was not a lie!

Zhang Cheng: Lies don’t hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!

As aristocratic families that control the court, the power of Wang, Xie, Huan and Yu simply proves the saying that everyone rules the world together!

"Asshole, how dare a beggar like him slander me like this!"

The angry roar and Sima Dan's words made the ministers below silent.

Because what they said is not wrong, isn’t it the fact?
But on the surface, no one dared to say it in front of Sima Dan, and they immediately fell silent.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to launch a northern expedition against the Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Sima Dan seriously, Huan Wen, who had just stood up, couldn't help but become serious.
He once recovered Cheng Han and is now at the peak of his reputation. It seems that after the demise of Ran Wei, the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than a pile of clay chickens and pottery dogs!

Hearing Huan Wen's words, Sima Dan immediately said: "Well, my Great Jin has such a good minister, what does the Northern Ming have to worry about!"

When Huan Wen stood up, everyone started to applaud because he was so fierce.

How did they establish the Ming Dynasty? They fought their way through. You, Huan Wen, are so awesome. Why do you have to compete with them now?

In the Ming Dynasty, the intensive reforms continued.

When countless monks were expelled from the temple, the surrounding land was distributed to the surrounding people.

Faced with all these changes, the people were of course very happy. After all, they not only escaped from being slaves, but also became masters.
As for taxation, Zhang Cheng chose to distribute the tax to the land, with all gentry paying taxes.
As for whether anyone wants to object, Zhang Cheng can only say, you underestimate him too much!
Was Shi Hu cruel enough back then? He recruited 400,000 civilians, but no one dared to rebel, because he was cruel enough!

But can you say that Zhang Cheng, who pinned Shi Hu to the ground and cut off his head, is a kind and good man?
If you think so, then the Murong clan of Former Yan will not accept it!

If a monk rebels, the whole temple will be punished; if one person rebels, all the people in Liaodong will be punished.

You can return to secular life here. If you don't want to, then go to Liaodong to farm. After all, that place is big and no one will care if you run away.
As for the northern gentry, they dared not to sing a dissenting tune, because now, the monks with the toughest mouths have been defeated by him. If you refuse to obey, if you jump out, the Chiliang Army will come knocking on your door immediately!
After rounds of reforms under strong pressure, the status of the Han people in the north has improved dramatically, and their quality of life has been significantly guaranteed. They no longer live in the hell they once did.

Walking in the rice fields, Zhang Cheng looked at the figures of the family, young and old, carrying hoes and holding their children's hands. He couldn't help but smile and said, "If I had seen such a scene back then, I would not have joined the army!"

"So this is what we are working towards, Your Majesty!"

Standing next to Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang laughed.
At this moment, Zhang Hao came running over and said, "Your Majesty, run! I've been caught stealing melons!"

"They are stealing melons! They are stealing melons! Catch them!"

Pointing and shouting in the distance, a group of people chased after them.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng quickly turned around and ran away: "Zhang Hao, you bastard!"

"Your Majesty, the melon is sweet!"

While running, Zhang Hao handed a petal to Zhang Cheng.
While eating the melon, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but brighten his eyes and said, "Hey, it's so sweet!"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Deng Qiang's mouth twitched, because weren't they here for inspection? How could it be like this!
Standing in the distance, the historian held a pen and wrote: "At the beginning of September, General Zhang Hao stole melons. He was discovered by the people and fled. Your Majesty followed him and tasted half of it. It was sweet!"
