Chapter 1100 Wuding Great Emperor
Off the coast of Guangzhou, the warships of the Wei and Ming armies fought fiercely, and the Wei army's warships suffered heavy losses. One after another, the battleships staggered away from the battlefield, dragged their scarred bodies into the Pearl River Estuary, and headed for the repair shipyard.

The craftsmen were busy day and night repairing the warships, and many merchant ships were recruited to participate in the battle.

This naval battle lasted quite a long time. After half a month, the Wei army's navy lost more than [-]%, and the Ming army also suffered heavy casualties, reaching the limit.

At this time, Gao Yihuan and the generals of the Wei army were shaken by the huge loss.

Liang Yizhang was originally a main combat faction, but seeing that the navy built by Wei Guo in four years was in danger of being wiped out, he suggested Gao Yihuan to call a truce, keep the warships and navy officers and soldiers, and fight again in a few years.

Gao Yihuan was extremely reluctant, but he had to admit that the Nanming Navy was stronger than the Wei Army Navy.

Just when Gao Yihuan was hesitating, Nanming was also shaken. Zheng Chenggong also suffered heavy losses. Many generals and smugglers who accompanied the army expressed their unwillingness to fight again.

Although the loss of the Ming army was smaller than that of the Wei army, if the Ming army lost one ship, it lost one solidly. However, the wounded ships of the Wei army could be repaired and rejoined the battlefield, and the shipyard was still building warships.

Now the Ming army has an advantage on the surface, but in the long run, if it continues to consume, it will only fail.

In late October, the last and most intense naval battle broke out at the Pearl River Estuary. Wei Jun’s navy general Shi Lang was killed by Zheng Sen, and the flagship Jinghai was sunk in the waters near Lantau Island. Wei Jun suffered heavy losses. When Gao Yihuan heard the news, his inner drama Shocked, and finally decreed that the navy will no longer fight.

The strange thing is that after this battle, the Ming army did not stay at the mouth of the Pearl River, but directly left the sea off Guangzhou and returned to Qiongzhou and Taiwan.

This was a battle that hurt both sides. The Wei army failed to defeat the Ming army, so Gao Yihuan had to accept the reality that the Great Wei could not eliminate Nanming in a short time.

As far as the Ming army was concerned, although their losses were relatively small, after returning to their full strength, they did not achieve the strategic goal of completely destroying the Wei State Navy, and failed to reverse the general trend between Ming and Wei. In fact, they had already failed.

After the war off the coast of Guangzhou, two years later, the Wei army once again assembled forces to attack Qiongzhou Island.

This time the Wei army successfully landed in Qiongzhou, because the main force of the Ming army had already withdrawn from Qiongdao, so the Wei army occupied Qiongzhou in only three months.

In the same year, another large-scale naval battle broke out between the Wei and Ming armies in Penghu. Wei general Yang Geng died in battle, and Ming general Gan Hui died in battle.

Zheng Chenggong was furious, and ordered the fleet to attack everywhere, cutting off the sea trade routes of Wei State. Wei State's merchant ships were looted by pirates, and the maritime trade suffered extremely heavy losses.

In Chang'an City, inside the Tiange, Gao Yihuan stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, staring absently at a map of all nations.

"Your Majesty, someone brought it!" Fang Jiayu saluted.

There was a person beside him, wearing a prison uniform, with disheveled hair, and his face was pale because he had not seen the sun for a long time.

Gao Yihuan turned around, stared at the visitor, heaved a sigh of relief, and said to the visitor, "Yiyu! You don't blame the second brother, do you?"

The person who came was Gao Yijiao, who had been imprisoned in Xuanyiwei's imperial prison for six years.

Gao Yizhen burst into tears, looked at each other and smiled, "Second brother also has his own difficulties, and what the second brother said, he did it!"

Gao Yihao was killed, Gao Yicheng was driven to Yunnan by him, and Gao Yihuan had no friends anymore.

At this time, he looked at Gao Yizhen and smiled on his face. It was true that Brother Bo was there, and when they met each other, they smiled and wiped away their grievances.

Gao Yihuan asked: "You understand me, are you willing to do something by my side?"

Gao Yizhen shook his head, "Second brother has realized his ambition, and I am far behind him, but I also have persistence in my heart, and I hope His Majesty will fulfill it."

Gao Yihuan stared at him for a long time, finally sighed, turned around again, and said after a while, "Okay! I'll let you go to Luzon, and tell Zhu Cihong and Zheng Sen that I'm willing to negotiate peace with them."

In the eight years of Wuding, the years-long dispute between Ming and Wei finally came to an end.

Liang Yizhang, a scholar of Wei State University, and Wang Yan, a scholar of Nanming University, signed the "Mingwei Peace Treaty" with Penghu.

Gao Yihuan sent back the captive Zhu Cihong's family, Nanming prince, concubine, and many vassals. At the same time, the port was opened to allow Nanming merchant ships to come to the mainland for trade. Trade in Southeast Asia.

The treaty was signed, and the people of the two countries rejoiced. A large number of Nanming merchant ships flocked to the coast to buy goods and ship them to Japan, India, Dashi and other regions. As a result, Jiangnan's industry and commerce have been vigorously developed.

The development of industry and commerce filled the Wei treasury, so Gao Yihuan immediately issued an edict to further implement reforms.

In terms of education, he promoted compulsory primary school education, ordered counties to set up primary schools, prefectures to set up middle schools, and provincial capitals to set up higher schools. and invention.

In terms of the judiciary, Gao Yihuan formulated a constitution based on the teachings of his ancestors.

In terms of internal affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce were added, the Imperial Bank was established, the currency was further unified, the silver standard system was established, and the development of industry and commerce was promoted.

At the same time, Gao Yihuan also sent envoys to various countries to support businessmen to sail around the world.

In the 40th year of Wuding, the Great Wei Empire has been cultivated for decades, and the population has doubled. The appearance of steam engines and railways has made the Wei Empire extremely powerful, and Gao Yihuan is finally respected as the Great Emperor of Wuding.

In the autumn of this year, the 60-year-old Emperor Gao Yihuan, surrounded by officials, came to the foot of Mount Tai in Yanzhou Prefecture again to conduct his second Zen ceremony.

In addition to the courtiers of the Wei State, the Fengchan team also included envoys from various vassal states, Zhou State, Nanming, Mughal, Ottoman, Japan, Dongliao, England, Dongzhou, etc. who lived in Wei.

In the Middle East, the Liao Kingdom is a regime in Kyushu and Shikoku in southern Japan.

The origin of Dongzhou State is quite legendary. Gao Yihuan sponsored merchants to sail eastward and westward. After a merchant traveling eastward arrived at a continent in the east, he was surprised to find a country that could write Chinese characters and communicate without hindrance. But this People in the country are very wary of his arrival.

The businessman was imprisoned by the Dongzhou Kingdom for three years. The Dongzhou Kingdom kept sending people to interrogate him about the situation in the Central Plains, so that the merchant gradually understood that the Dongzhou Kingdom was actually a country established by the remnants of the Qing army decades ago.

At this time, the Dongzhou Kingdom was at war with the English and French, and was in a weak position, in danger of destroying the country. The businessmen suggested that they seek help from the Great Wei. Said the vassal in exchange for the support of the state of Wei.

In 1690, on October 40th, the 40th year of Wuding, a mighty procession of offering sacrifices to heaven gathered at the foot of Mount Tai.

The elderly Gao Yihuan stood on the top of Mount Tai, "I will inherit the will of God, rule the world, quell the war, and work hard for [-] years to bring China back to life, Li Shu is peaceful, the world is subdued, all nations come to court, and they are worthy of the sky~"

In the 40th year of Wuding, on October [-]th, Wei Taizu Gao Yihuan died of illness on the way back to Chang'an. Before his death, he said to his eldest son Gao Jianxing: "I have ruled the world for decades, and I have worked hard to build a strong country. Today, the Great Wei stands on top of the world. , I am relieved, but there is only one thing that still haunts my heart. Although I am the overlord of the land, I have not been able to command the sea. I have prepared iron-clad warships for you. After I collapse, you will restore Taiwan."

After Gao Yihuan's death, Prince Gao Jianxing kept his funeral secret and rushed back to Chang'an overnight to take the throne. The next year Wei Taizong was angry that Nanming had supported his eldest son Gao Jianye and interfered in Wei's internal affairs. He suddenly broke out and went to war against Nanming.

In the past few decades, while the Great Wei developed, two powerful countries Nanming and Great Zhou also emerged in East Asia, as well as several small and powerful countries.

Gao Jianxing launched a war against Nanming, which involved the Great Zhou Kingdom, Japan, Eastern Liao and other countries. The two sides were divided into two camps and fought a battle, which ended in the victory of Great Wei.

The Great War in East Asia gave the Western countries a chance to rise. Facing the rising West, Wei Taizong Anping 20 years, Wei, Zhou, Ming, Eastern Liao, Japan, Dongzhou formed an alliance to start war with Western countries. Taizong 30 years, The alliance wins and divides the whole world.
