Li Jiayu rolled her eyes and said," Daddy, why did Mommy scream so miserably?”
Li Yi's face darkened as he said sternly," Why do children have so many questions?”As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Jiayu's expression that was as if she was going to cry if he didn't tell her. Even Li Jiayun came over with a face full of doubt and curiosity.
Li Yi immediately softened." Alright, alright, I'll tell you." Really, you bad girl. Your mother is comfortable, that's why she called me. Do you understand?"
Li Jiayu placed her finger in her mouth and frowned. She pondered for a while and nodded. Li Jiayun, who was standing at the side, was confused. Since he was comfortable, why would he let out such a miserable cry? Xia Fang and Liu Yan, who had been watching from the side, burst into laughter. They also walked into the room, probably to tease Ruan Xiangyu.
Li Yi saw their expressions and rolled his eyes helplessly. He turned to the two little girls and said," Alright, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yun, go play with your mothers. I have something to do and have to go out for a while."”
The two little girls were originally lying on him, but they immediately stood up obediently and said very sensibly," Okay, Dad. Be careful and come back early tonight.”
Li Yi nodded with a smile and said," Mmm, you guys have fun too. When you're free, go read some books, okay?”
The little girl nodded at first. When she heard that they were going to study, she pouted, pulled her eyelids, and made a face. Then, she turned around and ran into the room.
Li Yi shook his head helplessly. These two girls, Li Jiayu, were naturally lively and active, while Li Jiayun was very quiet and shy. They were clearly twins, but their personalities were completely opposite. It was unknown whose personality they had inherited. It was extremely strange. Ever since he created Ruan Xiangyu, Li Yi had no choice but to train harder for the sake of his children. Who would have thought that after eating Ruan Xiangyu that night, he would actually hit the target with one shot? Four years had passed, and there was no more child born. There was no movement from the women.
Since he did not have an heir yet, many of his subordinates had objections and asked him to hurry up and create an heir. Helplessly, he had made up his mind over the past few years to sow at least twice a day for each woman. If it wasn't for the Lord God's ring to help him recover his vitality, it would probably be difficult for him. Unfortunately, it seemed that the heavens did not want him to have an heir. No matter what he did, there was no movement. Helplessly, he could only let nature take its course.
When he arrived at the GCH, he was surprised to see Huo Yuanying and his brothers.
Li Yi laughed." Why are you here instead of at the front lines? Didn't they say that they would attack at noon?”
Huo Yuanjia chuckled." Chancellor, you don't know. That old witch sent an envoy group to send us a few princesses and a large amount of gold and silver. It seems that she wants us to stop and give the capital to them. Hehe, we're here to ask you what you're going to do!”
Li Yi rolled his eyes." What's so good about being a princess? If you want it, take it. The attack plan continues. Do you want China to become a country within a country just for a few women? The people of the capital are waiting for us to save them!”
Huo Yuanying said," Chancellor, if you take her princess but don't agree to their request, isn't that not keeping your word?”
Li Yi glanced at him and said somewhat speechlessly," If you keep your word with them, who will keep their word with the commoners? Didn't you wake up from your stupor after seeing all the cities you conquered along the way? That was all the fault of that old woman. She wants to continue to stay in the Forbidden City and do whatever she wants with a few princesses. Do you think I'll agree?
The international situation was gradually becoming clearer. The allies and allies were basically evenly matched, and they were also preparing for a decisive battle in Russia. "This free time is just the right time for us to sort out the matters in China. It's not so easy to always be ahead of other countries.
Besides, were there not many beauties in this world? Are those princesses that attractive to you? After all, we destroyed their country. Even if you take them in, you have to be careful not to be assassinated by them when you sleep. Heh, don't die in their hands. That would be embarrassing.”
The three brothers looked at each other and saluted in unison. I know what to do. I'll take my leave.”
The empress dowager was sitting in the palace of the Forbidden City, waiting for good news, but in the end, what she waited for was bad news. The Xinghua Army immediately returned the princess, gold, silver, and all other items. They even launched an attack. The commoners were very eager for the Xinghua Army to enter the capital, but most of the people living in the capital were nobles. Under the threat of the destruction of their families and countries, they called for private soldiers and the Qing Imperial Guards in the palace to resist together. But was it possible to succeed?
The bureaucrats in the late Qing Dynasty were too corrupt. They would rather leave their gold and silver at home to rot than use them to buy some advanced weapons. They only knew how to live a drunken life. With just one round of bombing, the city gates of Beijing instantly collapsed. The City Defense Army, the private soldiers of the nobles, and the Imperial City Guards standing on the top all died there. Along the way, there was no longer any resistance. There were only sporadic resistance, but they were quickly eliminated.
When the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Army entered the pass to establish the Qing Dynasty, they were still very brave and powerful. However, since they entered the pass, they enjoyed a luxurious life that they had never experienced before. Gradually, their bloodlust and bravery were buried in these feasts.
Not to mention the late Qing Dynasty. After the Eight-Nation Alliance Army entered China, things that corrupted the people's physique such as opiates entered China one after another. These bureaucrats and aristocrats were the first to bear the brunt. Who asked them to be bored and rich? When they encountered something new and exciting, they wanted to try it. As a result, they naturally became weaker and weaker. When they encountered the Xinghua Army, which had been in battle for a long time and was powerful, they would naturally be defeated.
Knocking on the gate of the Forbidden City, the palace was filled with Nurhachi's descendants. These people looked at the Xinghua Army charging in with fear in their eyes, and their bodies trembled like they were shaking. The empress dowager was still pretending to be calm as she sat on the dragon throne. Beside her sat an emperor in his twenties. It was not that they did not want to leave, but it was because Li Yi specifically left Capital City alone and did not attack it. Instead, he took down all the cities around Capital City and surrounded it. Even if they wanted to run, they had nowhere to run.
Li Yi waved his hand, and all the soldiers charged forward and captured all the nobles and bureaucrats, leaving only Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu on the dragon throne. Li Yi stood in the distance and stared at Guangxu for a long time. Then, he turned to the three Huo brothers beside him and whispered," Look at Guangxu and that Li Lianying who has turned into a bone. Don't they look alike?”As he had basically conquered the entire country, Li Yi was in a good mood. Hence, he joked with the three Huo brothers.
The three Huo brothers were stunned for a moment. They carefully stared at Guangxu, whose face was already red with anger, but also very afraid. After a long while, Yuan Ying and Yuan Wu were still pondering with a strange expression on their faces when Yuan Jia chuckled and shouted," Head of State, now that you mention it, it really does look like it. Hey, old witch, could Guangxu be a bastard between you and that fake eunuch Li Lianying?”
The wrinkled empress dowager pointed at Huo Yuanjia and shouted in a trembling voice," You…" you... Pow...' A mouthful of blood was spat out, and he fell on the dragon throne. He twitched twice and stopped moving. Emperor Guangxu, who was sitting next to him, was also furious. His face was flushed red and his entire body was trembling. However, he did not dare to say anything. He was afraid that if he was not pleasing to the eye, he would give him a shot. That would not be worth it.
Huo Yuanjia's eyes widened in shock. He clicked his tongue and said," The old witch's lung capacity is really amazing. I've never seen anyone vomit blood so far away. I'm afraid she has broken the record, hehe!"”Seeing that the empress dowager's face was pale and she was not moving, she turned her head and said,"Eh, she's not dead, is she?"”
Yuanying and Yuanwu, who were standing at the side, rolled their eyes and ignored him. Ever since this kid had sneaked into the army behind Hoen Di's back, he had become more and more of a hooligan with the old soldiers. He had become more and more venomous, and anything could come out of his mouth. Guangxu only looks a little like Li Lianying. How can you say it so directly? Even if you want to say it, you should go out and tell those commoners…
Li Yi looked at Yuan Jia speechlessly and reprimanded him," You're really bad, kid. He's an emperor after all. He's obviously Prince Chun's son, how can you make things up?" You have to correct it in the future, understand?" He turned to Guangxu and said," Cough, um, I'm sorry. My brother doesn't know your background. Please forgive me! Guangxu, right? Don't you think you'll feel uncomfortable sitting next to a dead person? Please come with us."
Although Guangxu was angry, he was more helpless and afraid. The other party had completely defeated his Great Qing Dynasty by force. A loss was a loss, and he could not find an excuse. Even if he was really a puppet emperor that Empress Dowager Cixi had taken over, he couldn't use this as an excuse. Who asked a man like him to be controlled by an old woman and not be able to get rid of her? If he said it out loud, it would only prove his cowardice and incompetence. Upon hearing Li Yi's explanation, he stood up and straightened his dragon robe and hat. After calming down his fear, he walked towards Li Yi and the others.
Li Yi still felt sympathy for Emperor Guangxu, but he also admired him. After Emperor Guangxu took over the government, the most shocking things were the Jiawu War and the 1898 reform. In the 1894 - 1895 War, Emperor Guangxu fought hard and opposed compromise, but the Qing Dynasty was defeated because of the corruption of the court. He strongly supported the reform of the reformists in order to become stronger, and announced the reform.
Because the reform directly touched the interests of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Emperor's Party led by Emperor Guangxu did not have the strength to control the political situation, the reform failed because of the coup of 1898 launched by the Empress Party. After the coup, power once again fell into the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi. It was announced that Emperor Guangxu was ill and could not govern. In fact, he was imprisoned in Yingtai of Xiyuan and became a prisoner without shackles. If it weren't for the corruption of the Qing government and the Empress Dowager Cixi controlling the government, he would still be an excellent emperor.
However, a failure was a failure. After all, he did not have any real power and was not prepared to retreat. Doing such a thing was equivalent to setting himself on fire. Not only did he fail, but he also dragged a large number of loyal and patriotic people to suffer together. This was absolutely unforgivable. After sighing for a while, he led the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty out of the once glorious but now empty Forbidden City. It completely declared the end of the Qing government and also represented the rise of another regime.
The next step was to rebuild the government. Back when they conquered the other cities in the country, they had already sent patriotic students from the Military Academy to govern the various places. At the same time, they used force to maintain the stability of the various places. Basically, the situation in other places had already stabilized. It had to be said that there were many patriotic youths in that era, so there was no lack of middle and low-level officials. Of course, after years of political work, some people would definitely stand out. Therefore, the number of high-level officials gradually increased.
In addition, there was the Law Enforcement Department controlled by Old Yan, a cold-blooded and impartial person. The Law Enforcement Department monitored all the officials in the country to prevent the remnants of the Qing government from reviving and even infiltrating the Xinghua Army. All the corrupt officials who took bribes and engaged in malpractices were all eliminated. The current New Heaven Dynasty was brimming with vitality, and it was only a matter of time before it soared.
After a month of preparation, Li Yi led a large group of elites and stood on Tianan Gate. Countless people filled the square outside. Li Yi announced the establishment of the Chinese Empire. At the same time, it also announced that the old era had passed and a new era was about to arrive. At the high-level national meeting that followed, Li Yi announced the next national policy.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yi decided to adopt a presidential system (modern American political system) first. Universal education would be implemented throughout the country, and police stations, courts, and other modern departments would be set up everywhere. He directly used the legal provisions provided by the Lord God's ring. It covered all aspects of the legal regulations and was very detailed and complete. All the private land in the past had been confiscated. Under the deterrence of powerful military forces, the landowners did not dare to resist at all. Moreover, they were not asking them to hand over the land for nothing. They were giving them economic compensation. (I'll just casually write about the political system. It's too complicated and takes up too much space. It's boring.)）
January 1892, in the president's office.
Li Yi was flipping through the latest intel from the frontlines of the First World War. It seemed like Germany was going all out this time. They had sent a request for help to Li Yi, who had just established a country. They wanted Li Yi to send his elite troops to assist them. They wanted to attack from both sides and completely destroy the remaining forces of the allied countries.
In fact, both the allied countries and the allied countries that Germany was in were also struggling to survive. They could not hold on for a long time, but the hatred between the two sides was too deep. One wanted to take revenge for the destruction of the country, and the other was reluctant to part with the territory he had already obtained. The two sides were in a stalemate, and neither side could win. If Li Yi were to join in, the situation would immediately become one-sided.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yi smiled sinisterly and replied to Wilhelm II of Germany. The technology of the telegram was handed over to the Germans in 1885 along with the technology of cannons and repeating rifles. It had now spread throughout the world. He sent a secret message to Wilhelm II of Germany via telegram.
William II sat in his office, feeling uneasy. The enemy's military strength was basically on par with the allied countries, so the battle situation at the front line had not been very good, and the results were very small. Coupled with the weather in Russia, it was really unbearable for the Europeans. Due to the long front line, it was quite difficult to transport supplies. Many soldiers on the front line could not get timely supplies, resulting in many soldiers not dying in the rain of bullets, but starving to death. This made the population of the allied countries, which had been strained due to years of war, even more tense. Hence, he thought of Li Yi, who had completely conquered China.
Achim knocked on the door a few times and walked in with an ugly expression. He had a document in his hand.
When William II saw that it was Achim, he immediately stood up and said," Achim, how is it? How did Li Yi reply?"
"Your Majesty, you should take a look for yourself."”He handed the document to William II.
William II looked at him in confusion. He took the document and looked at it. His face turned darker and darker. In the end, he threw the document away and smashed the table as he roared. After a while, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down. He said," Achim, let's leave this matter at that. According to what Li Yi said, I'll attend this international conference to discuss the peaceful resolution of disputes between countries. You'll arrange all the details of this trip.”
"Your Majesty, are we just going to let this go?" He had to return the land he had obtained? This…"
Wilhelm II was furious, but he also said helplessly," The population of Germany has decreased from 64.2 million to less than 12 million. Women make up 85% of the total population. If the war continues, our Germanic people will be wiped out. Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would not have been blinded by greed and helped that detestable Li Yi. Forget it, you can leave. Do as I say.”
Achim thought for a moment and said,"Your Majesty, you…" Sigh..." Shaking his head, he sighed and walked out of the Emperor's office.
William II sat on the throne, his expression uncertain. After a while, he sighed helplessly and fell back on the chair, closing his eyes.
In fact, it was not difficult to imagine that the allied countries and allied countries had suffered a great loss because of this war. Whether it was their industries or other industries, they had completely deviated from the needs of national development. They were all developing in the direction of military industry. This kind of abnormal development model consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and resources, but they could not get any money back. Obviously, it would only make their country weaker and weaker.
