Chapter 809: Future generations will judge merits and demerits!

Jiankang City, after several days of bloody battle, the city gate was finally blown open.

When the Red Liang Army, like a tide, entered the city, sounds of weapons came from everywhere.

Facing the resistance of the Eastern Jin soldiers, Zhang Cheng did not issue an order for total slaughter, but shouted "surrender and you won't be killed."

Strictly executing the order, the Red Liang Army pacified the city.

The officials were also hiding in their homes, trembling, not daring to say a word.

And just then, inside the Imperial Palace, fire was continuous.

Rushing into the palace, Zhang Hao held a sharp blade and said, "His Majesty has an order: Sima clan, leave no one!"

"Sima clan, leave no one!"

Emitting a roar, the Red Liang Army personal guards also shouted.

And hearing the order from the Red Liang Army, Sima Dan collapsed on the throne in despair.

Because he had nowhere to escape; the entire Imperial Palace was sealed off, and not even a bird could fly out.

Just as the cruel slaughter was taking place, only to see the palace gate kicked open with a bang.

When Zhang Cheng walked in, wearing a mysterious black dragon robe with armor underneath, Sima Dan sneered, "Now that you, a usurper, have obtained the world, it is truly ridiculous, ahahahaha!"

"I am a usurper? I killed the Northern Hu people until they didn't dare to step into the Central Plains, and I also guarded the ancestral territory, expanding the territory; what qualification do you have to call me a usurper?"

Stepping forward and punching Sima Dan, Zhang Cheng smashed him until his nose bled, then dragged him off the throne.

Looking at the disheveled Sima Dan, Zhang Cheng sat on it himself and said, "You Sima clan also have the face to call me a usurper? Back then, Sima Zhao's heart was known to everyone on the road!"

Looking at Sima Dan playfully, Zhang Cheng roared again, "Killing the monarch in the street, violating the oath at the Luo River, the crimes of your Sima clan cannot be washed away even if the blood of the entire clan is drained! It was you who let the entire North fall into hell, and it was I, it was I and the Great Ming soldiers who grabbed it back with swords and guns! Otherwise, even if you went to hell, your Sima clan would have no face to face the sages of our Huaxia!"

"Hahaha, even if you say it with flowery words, you cannot escape the iron pen of history. It was you who killed your own monarch Shi Hu, and launched the slaughter of the Hu with Ran Min, letting the entire North fall into chaotic war, with the common people not even one in ten..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Sima Dan roared.

"Do you Sima clan have the qualification to talk about the common people? Ah, do you have the qualification? You threw the North to the Hu people, making me lose my parents before I was fourteen, joining the army for a bloody battle. I fought for the people of Jizhou, six hundred attacking the camp, swords and swords on my body; what were you Sima clan doing? You were talking eloquently in the temple!"

Walking down from the throne, Zhang Cheng grabbed Sima Dan by the collar and roared, then his eyes turned scarlet, "I was forced by you. I also wanted to live this life safely, but what did you do? You let this country fall apart, leaving my Han children with no one to rely on..."

"Rao ba huo, bu xian yang, he gu lan, two-legged sheep... you don't know what this means, right? Perhaps you know, but your Sima clan doesn't care. Now I will tell you what this is!"

Looking at Sima Dan in anger, Zhang Cheng then turned his head and said, "The world is asking for a debt; I want to let the Sima clan use flesh and blood to repay their crimes!"

"How dare you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng hysterically, Sima Dan finally became afraid.

"What do I not dare to do? Even if my reputation is smelly, can it be worse than your Sima family!"

Looking at Sima Dan excitedly, Zhang Cheng walked up and said, "I want to let you see for yourself the suffering of my Northern people, the darkness we experienced..."

Looking coldly at Zhang Hao, Zhang Cheng waved his arm and said, "Let this high and mighty Emperor of the Sima family feel the despair we felt back then!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Hao dragged him away directly, his eyes full of scarlet.

Because just as Zhang Cheng said, their status back then was truly like the lower class; the Hu people humiliated them at will, and you couldn't resist, otherwise the entire clan would become slaves.

Even on the side of the road, if your wife was fancied, you couldn't resist, and children lived like grass.

No one could think about what tomorrow would be, because they couldn't even live today.

Ran Min was fierce, but he established the backbone of the Northern Han people. Zhang Cheng was cruel, but he conquered the Hu people outside the Great Wall!

What they wanted was not a benevolent monarch, but an Emperor who led them, the Han people, to stand up!

But just after Zhang Hao left, Huan Wen looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, if you do this, I am afraid that in the future..."

"Future generations will judge merits and demerits! I am worried about this, why not think about how to pacify Jiangnan!"

Revealing a cold smile, Zhang Cheng turned and sat on the throne.

350 AD, after two years of war, Jiangnan was pacified, and the noble families, no matter how unwilling they were, could only bow to the Great Ming.

Moving the capital to Jiankang, the Great Ming deployed all military forces.

Facing the high-pressure Great Ming, as well as the strategy of "spreading the tax to the land" and "officials and gentry paying grain together," the noble families immediately began to resist.

After all, this Jiangnan was their Jiangnan; the Emperor is flowing water, the noble families are iron; this is an indisputable fact. But they forgot one thing: the Great Ming was never the Great Ming of one person, it was the Great Ming of the world!

Facing the resistance of the noble families, Wang Meng, the ruthless "Prime Minister," immediately showed absolute wisdom.

That was to use the Xie family and the Huan family to counterattack, taking the lead in passing the strategy.

Facing the surrender of the Xie family, the noble families didn't understand, but the Huan family sent the women of the clan into the palace the next day.

Gazing at the heavy pressure, seeing that if they didn't rise up, they would be crushed to death, the noble families finally chose to rebel.

However, their rebellion only stayed on the plan; just after rising up, it was pacified by the Military Affairs Great General Deng Qiang.

Gazing at the rolling heads falling to the ground, Zhang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but flash with haze.

Because he had already given the noble families many opportunities, but they were reluctant to cherish them, which made Zhang Cheng unhappy!

Zhang Cheng: What I give you is yours; if I don't give it, you cannot grab it!

Noble families: If you don't give it, don't blame me for not giving you face!

Wang Meng: Oh, you're a rascal?

After the millennium, in a brilliant museum somewhere,

Students were following their teacher into it, gazing at many things recorded in history books, their faces revealing astonished expressions.

!

Because they couldn't believe that these were things left behind by the ancients.

And just after passing a portrait, the teacher pressed his headset and said, "Students, look, this is the founding Emperor of the Great Ming, Taizu Zhang Cheng, known in history as Emperor Wu..."

"Teacher, why is he called Emperor Wu?"

Looking at the teacher in surprise, many students asked suspiciously.

"Because our Emperor Wu spent seventy percent of his life in battle, and the territory of our country was initially clarified when he became Emperor. Later, Taizong continued to follow the national policy, making us the most powerful empire on Earth!"

While explaining, the teacher continued to walk out and said, "Come, students, look at what this is?"

"Wow, this looks like a crown, right?"

Looking at the dazzling array of crowns, many students exclaimed.

"Right, our Taizu Emperor was also a person who liked to collect crowns. The number of kings he defeated in his life was no less than two hundred. We fought all the way from Asia to the last island country in Europe, which is now the Britain Province."

Revealing a smile, the teacher looked at the thoughtful child behind him and said, "Zhang Ze, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, teacher, I'm just curious!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Ze couldn't help but look at the portrait behind him; it was exactly the thing left behind by Zhang Cheng. The young man above was holding a long sword with Wang Meng, Deng Qiang, and others, looking forward, while the background behind them was the Neuschwanstein Castle in a foreign land.

"Painter, painter, hurry up, I still have things to do!"

"Coming, Your Majesty!"

Just as the painter ran up, Zhang Cheng pulled Wang Meng, Deng Qiang, and others to stand together, each holding a long sword and smiling.

And just after this portrait was preserved, a roar came from the distance: "Wherever the sun and moon shine!"

"It is all the Great Ming!"

Following the roar of the Red Liang Army, the indestructible castle shattered in an instant.

Gazing at the Great Ming soldiers rushing forward like a tide, the King standing on the city wall sat on the ground with a heart of ash.

Because as the last castle in Europe, it was finally crushed after persisting for several years by the Emperor's personal expedition.
