Chapter 54: The strongest man of the tenth century!

Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Youzhou City.

The gate that had been closed to the Central Plains dynasty for one hundred and twelve years finally opened to the Han people.

On the day the Royal Army pacifies the Central Plains, do not forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice!

This is the "cold" poem of the Song Dynasty poet, Lu You, "Showing My Son"!

It expresses his longing for his hometown, and it is also what Zhang Cheng wants to say!

But from now on, Lu You and he would not need this poem at all!

On the blue bricks, warhorses galloped.

Soldiers wearing bright armor were holding their heads high, showing their bravery.

Because three days ago, they defeated the 200,000-strong Liao army and incorporated all of Yanyun into the territory of the Great Ming.

"Elders and relatives? You have waited a long time; we Han people have fought back!"

Located in the center on horseback, Zhang Cheng shouted to the surroundings.

And just after Zhang Cheng finished speaking, the old men standing on both sides of the road couldn't help but burst into tears.

Because they had waited for this day for too long.

From the time Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun, they had been waiting, waiting for more than a hundred years.

And now, the court had finally sent an army to fight back.

They would no longer have to live under the breath of the Khitans!

"The Ming army is mighty, the Ming army is mighty!"

Raising his arm and clenching his fist, Zhang Cheng roared.

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

Just as the neat words resounded through the clouds, the entire Yanyun couldn't help but burst into boiling shouts.

With hot tears in his eyes, Bao Zheng, as the accompanying Chancellor, couldn't help but wipe away his tears.

Because when he was a minister of the Great Song, he had no way to take back the elders and relatives who were waiting bitterly.

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

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

And hearing Situ Yaozu's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Be bolder; is it possible that we will be famous for a thousand years?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but laugh out loud, appearing very happy.

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

Because the rise of the Jin people made the already decaying Liao Dynasty have to move their troops to the Western Regions.

But after arriving in the Western Regions, they discovered something even more terrifying, which was that the Great Ming had already occupied this place long ago.

With no other choice, the Liao people, in order to survive, were forced to compete for territory with the Tungusic people.

And while the Jin people were enjoying the original territory of the Liao Dynasty, they never expected one thing, which was that the current Emperor of the Great Ming, the man named Zhang Xinzhi, was a guy who didn't follow martial ethics!

On the day the Jin people officially established their country, the Ming army dispatched General Di Qing and Deputy General Wang Ping to directly attack Zhongdu.

Which is the Liaoning region today!

Facing the sudden Ming army, Wanyan Chong couldn't figure out why this was.

Clearly, when both sides were attacking the Liao Dynasty, they had communicated with each other and even provided food and military equipment, so why, after the Liao people left, would the Great Ming raise their butcher knife against them?

Holding such a disbelieving thought, Wanyan Chong fell on the way to escape.

As for those Jin people who hadn't had time to enjoy the glory and wealth, they were all re-registered and left in the Liaodong region to learn farming.

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

South across the Pacific Ocean, people reached North America.

West to the Caspian Sea, directly clashing with various Arab countries!

And in the year Zhang Cheng was thirty-five, sweet potatoes, corn, yams, and various overseas crops were recovered, allowing the population of the Great Ming to climb to another peak.

New Capital, Youzhou.

Before the wide main hall, the civil and military officials followed Zhang Cheng to the door.

And just at the moment the brilliant fireworks rose into the sky, Bao Zheng and the others were holding cigarettes in their hands, each talking about interesting things at home.

Walking out in the attire of an Empress, Princess Yingxing said, "Your Majesty, brother is here!"

"Oh, is brother-in-law here?"

Hearing Princess Yingxing's words, Zhang Cheng revealed a smile and turned to let Feng Suzhen and the others behind him retreat.

And just at this moment, Zhao Zhen, led by the eunuch, walked over.

Looking at the former "Renzong," Bao Zheng and the others hurriedly bowed and retreated.

When the area before the main hall was cleared, Zhang Cheng turned to look at Zhao Zhen and said, "Brother-in-law, my being emperor is not worse than your Zhao family, right!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhao Zhen did not speak, but stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Barely okay!"

Smiling at each other, Zhang Cheng didn't say anything more, but chatted with him about the education of children.

Japan, Kyoto, Tenshukaku.

Chai Wenyi, as the emperor, was reprimanding his ministers.

Facing the subjects who looked at him with full fear, Chai Wenyi said proudly, "Next year, I want the tribute to double again!"

"Your Majesty, doubling it again next year is absolutely impossible!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi speaking this way, the ministers below hurriedly complained.

Because the number of people who fall in the mines every year can no longer be measured by numbers; it is simply desolate for miles!

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

Roaring, Chai Wenyi pointed to the minister just now and said, "Take him down and slaughter him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Chai Wenyi's words, the Chai family warriors who walked out took him away directly.

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

"Your Majesty, it's not good, a rebellion has broken out in the east; they refuse to recognize your rule!"

Rushing in quickly, a eunuch shouted.

"Rebellion again? This bunch of lowly people are really full and have nothing to do; take them all to Siberia to farm. Remember, this time you have to sell them for a high price; last time it was too cheap for the Ming Emperor!"

Speaking, Chai Wenyi became domineering.

And just when Chai Wenyi was being powerful and domineering on the Japanese Island, Situ Yaozu in India was also stunned.

Because he never expected that this place would be so rich.

And just when Situ Yaozu thought that his powerful appearance would cause various "rebellions" here, he discovered that this bunch of things didn't even want to rebel...

"What kind of fairy place is this?"

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

That is, the suffering of this life will allow them to enjoy endless glory and wealth in the next life!

After seeing Buddhism train these turban-wearing Indians into "good citizens," Situ Yaozu smiled, revealing a happy smile just like his cousin Zhang Cheng, like Tom the Cat!

More than eight hundred years later, in front of a museum.

Students looked at the objects placed around and couldn't help but exclaim.

Because these were all precious cultural relics "borrowed" from various countries!

And just at this moment, the tour guide pointed to a portrait and said, "This is the Ming Taizu, the Emperor of the New Beginning, the surname of the Heavenly Emperor, the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty, the Great General of Pingnan, the recoverer of Yanyun, the conqueror of the Americas, the King of Kings spanning Asia, Europe, and Africa, the strongest man of the tenth century, Zhang Cheng!"

Raising their heads, the students looked at the young man in the black robe on the portrait and exclaimed immediately.

Because this person's title was even bigger than the Tang Taizong before him!

"According to unofficial history, the former Ming Taizu was a beggar..."

"This official history is not necessarily true, but this tour guide's unofficial history is truly wild; Ming Taizu was also a beggar?"

"The Situ family has records that Ming Taizu started with just a few copper coins!"

Just as discussions came from all around, a young boy looked at the copper coin on his neck and silently covered his face.

Because his ancestor really had been a beggar...

Zhang Cheng: Damn it, where is the historian? Which bastard recorded this?

Situ Yaozu: It wasn't me, absolutely not me!
