History was too scattered, and after accepting the abdication of Emperor Qixiang and decided to name his country the Chinese Empire, Wu Chaoyue adopted the advice of his subordinates, taking the meaning of the Han people as the first person since Emperor Hongwu, and designated his reign as Hong Xian, and from then on, he officially regarded himself as Emperor Hong Xian. At the same time, Wu Chaoyue respected his cheap father Wu Xiaoping as the emperor, respected Wu's comprador as the emperor, and Wu Nianyue became the crown prince without permission.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu Chaoyue, Hong Xian, was lucky than the other Emperor Hong Xian. First of all, his control over the local area was far stronger than that of the other Emperor Hong Xian. He had enough positions of real power in his hands to reward all officials and reward his accomplices who loyally supported him. He could tie most of the people to the same boat on a boat of interest, and the cohesion of the group was relatively strong. Therefore, even though Wu Chaoyue broke his promise and usurped the throne, some of his subordinates were indeed ridiculed and accused him behind his back, but in general, there was no major chaos. Most local civil and military officials admitted that Emperor Wu Chaoyue, Hong Xian at the first time. Even if some small rebellions occurred in remote areas, they were just a mantis armed with a chariot, a dragonfly shaking a tree, and overestimated his ability. They were basically suppressed and extinguished by the official army of Hong Xian court like a wolf.

What Wu Chaoyue is more fortunate than a big head is that there is no republic revolution in this era, and there is no large group of international student revolutionaries who have been brainwashed by Western culture to jump out to oppose dictatorship. The land of China is still very accustomed to the rule of an emperor, so Wu Chaoyue just gave a little decent benevolent politics, reduced some heavy taxes, appointed some clean officials, and worked hard to maintain public order. The poor people who have suffered from war quickly accepted Wu Chaoyue, the new emperor, and the opposition among the people was also very small.

It is almost the same internationally. Except for Tsarist Russia, which is irreconcilable with the Hong Xian court, other Western powers quickly recognized Wu Chaoyue, the new emperor, and further expanded economic and trade exchanges with China and established more formal diplomatic relations.

Although Tsarist Russia insisted that Wu Chaoyue was a shameless usurper, unfortunately there was no trace of the Siberian railway. The distance of the road determines that the Tsarist Russian army cannot use large-scale troops in the Far East. In addition, the main force of the Tsarist Russian army in the Far East has been annihilated by the Wu army on the battlefield in the Northeast. Tsarist Russia just wanted to take advantage of the situation and rob, not to mention sending troops to kill Wu Chaoyue directly. Therefore, although the relationship between China and Russia was extremely bad, there was no major military conflict in a short period of time. At the same time, in order to redeem Tsarist Russian soldiers captured by the Wu army, Korsakov, the governor of East and West Siberia of Tsarist Russia, had to accept the request of the Wu army and negotiate with the Wu army on the land issues involved in the Treaty of Aihui.

Wu Chaoyue's subsequent mess was only slightly stronger than another Emperor Hong Xian. In China, there were still objective problems such as opium flooding, economic decline and wars that were not equal. The concessions still exist. The concessions were always hindering the progress of Hong Xian's court. It was not as simple as saying that it wanted to develop industry and modernize China's poverty and move towards modernization, and regain the sovereignty of the concessions and become a great power and move towards expansion.

Fortunately, Wu Chaoyue's biggest advantage is that he is young. He is only in his thirties and is in his prime. He is in good health. He has time to fight with the feudal and conservative forces in the country. At the same time, after establishing a series of modern schools, group of young people who have received advanced Western culture and science and technology education have gradually stood up and stood on the side of Wu Chaoyue, who firmly advocates reform and reform. Although the progress is not very fast, he has unswervingly moved towards civilized openness and industrialization step by step.

When Wu Chaoyue ascended the throne, Tibet returned peacefully. The next year, the northwestern rebellion was basically put down, and Xinjiang also established a province. Although the ulterior motives of Tsarist Russia strongly supported the Northwest rebel forces fleeing abroad, the separatists they supported could not even fight against the Qing court in history, so naturally, let alone the more advanced equipment and higher morale Hong Xian court army. After defeating the so-called counterattack of the Northwest separatists twice, Wu Chaoyue used his own way to counterattack and encouraged and supported the Northwest separatists to split the land and build a country in Tsarist Russia, which soon achieved some results, resulting in the gradual chaos in the Central Asian situation.

While fighting wits and courage with Tsarist Russia, the Hong Xian court led by Wu Chaoyue also gradually had conflicts with other Western powers. Although Wu Chaoyue has been working hard to avoid conflicts with other Western powers in order to gain time for development, the concessions, opium and tariffs caused by unequal treaties have always been hidden dangers for Hong Xian's court. If Wu Chaoyue wants to eliminate these problems, he must touch on the interests of Western powers in China.

In addition, the appetites of Western powers are all bottomless pits. Britain has been staring at Tibet and Central Asia, France has always coveted Annan, Hainan Island and Taiwan Island. Even clowns like Spain have tried to occupy China's vassal state Luzon forever. Therefore, in order to protect the integrity of territorial sovereignty, abolish unequal treaties and ban opium, the Hong Xian court gradually became confrontation with the Western powers.

"Surprise Wu must give up his sovereignty over Annan and ceded Taiwan Island and Hainan Island, otherwise the Second French Empire will declare war on the Chinese Empire and seize more land by force!" Napoleon's nephew Napoleon III directly shouted.

"Luzon is the territory of Spain! The Chinese must get out of it all!" Spain's Queen Isabella II once said such words and openly threatened to declare war.

"The ability of Chaoyue Wu to become the emperor of China is the credit of our British people. In return, Chaoyue Wu must give up Tibet and allow the British to station troops in Xinjiang! Otherwise, we can make Chaoyue Wu become the emperor of China and also let him step down!" The British, who have always had a good relationship with Wu Chaoyue, also made harsh words to Wu Chaoyue for their own interests!

"Territory, concession, open finance, free port, consular judgement, Chinese workers, garrisons, warships sail freely." Almost all Western powers had mentioned these annoying terms in front of Wu Chaoyue, and openly clamored that Wu Chaoyue would use force if he did not make concessions. At the same time, it was natural that during this period, Tsarist Russia jumped out to make trouble, desperately alienating the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the Western powers, while extorting, attempting to make a comeback in the Far East and Central Asia.

Faced with such a complex international situation, Wu Chaoyue, in addition to practicing internal strength to strengthen his body, could only endure silently, and at the same time, he tried hard to narrow down and consolidate his relationship with the British today's overlord of the world, and strive to establish a formal equal military alliance with the British, weaken the enemy and strengthen his own strength. But unfortunately, due to the conflict of interests, Wu Chaoyue failed to get what he wanted for a long time.

God pays off. Just when Wu Chaoyue was anxious to establish a military alliance with the British, Wu Chaoyue and the British jointly sent an exploration team to South Africa. After spending a lot of Wu Chaoyue's personal funds, he finally found the Witwatersland Gold Mine, the largest gold mine in the world, in a remote pasture between Pretoria and Val, on the land of South Africa, now known as the Transvaal Republic, on a remote pasture between Pretoria and Val. At the same time, a nearly pure gold vein was discovered. After smashing the rocks, you can get gold directly!

The news spread and the world caused a sensation. All the great powers were jealous. However, Wu Chaoyue summoned the British ambassador to China as soon as possible and proposed the conditions to transfer shares in exchange for establishing a military alliance with Britain. After the British ambassador to China returned the news, the British government agreed to Wu Chaoyue's request without blinking. In addition to signing a formal military alliance letter with Hong Xian court, it also lifted the military technology blockade on China, and the situation of the Chinese Empire in the international are also greatly improved.

Only Wu Chaoyue knew what happened in advance. After the British announced their ownership of the South African gold mine with the mineral exploration and mining agreement signed by Wu Chaoyue and the British side with the Transvaal Republic, the Boers in South Africa immediately jumped out and cursed, "Fuck you! At that time, we didn't know that this gold mine was so big! So this agreement was invalid!"

"Damn it! You Boer white pigs are shameless!" The British not only cursed, but also rolled up their sleeves and robbed them directly. However, it was a pity that because the Boers were too hard to fight, and the invention of later-loading guns had seriously restricted the power of linear tactics. In this regard, the more conservative British were beaten and defeated.

The defeat of the British once again caused a global sensation. While watching the joke, in order to deal with the old enemies of the Hundred Years' War, France immediately provided military assistance to the Boers and helped the Boers resist British aggression more effectively. The Prussians, who were madly growing their strength, chose to support the Boers without hesitation for their interests in the African colonies. Belgium also smiled and extended a helping hand to the Boers who were rich in diamonds in the country. In order to weaken the British, the Tsarist Russian history did not like the British. The Netherlands and the Boers had relatives. Spain had never forgotten their love for gold. They all ran to the Boers and said, "Go! Fuck the British to death!"

"Mom, let me slap! A tiger doesn't show its power and treat me as a sick cat? If this war is not fought, I will not be sorry to the ancestors of the British Empire, and the bourgeoisie of the British Empire!"

For the sake of face and for real interests, the British, who adopted the gold standard of currency, resolutely chose to continue the Boer War. However, almost all international powers stood opposite each other. The rapidly deteriorating international situation forced the British to join forces with China to keep warm. After a close negotiation with each other, the British returned their concessions in China, returned their sovereignty in Hong Kong, abolished all unequal treaties related to China, and joined forces to fight against the world powers.

With the help of Britain in history, even Japan could become one of the world's great powers. Now the British are firmly on their side. If Wu Chaoyue cannot make China one of the multipolar parts of the world, he will be shameless to live in this world again. In the battle of Luzon, the old Spanish army was almost wiped out, and it has to be admitted that Luzon has always been Chinese territory. Central Asia fought against Tsarist Russia again, and the Chinese and British troops joined forces to make the Tsarist Russian army look for teeth. When it came to the French-Prussian War, Wu Chaoyue resolutely joined forces with Prussia to form an alliance, taking advantage of Prussia's victory in Europe and the establishment of the Paris Commune to take the opportunity to regain France's sovereignty in China and force France to withdraw from the battle against Annan.

It is easier said than done. During this period, the suffering, twists and turns, crisis and humiliation experienced by Wu Chaoyue and Hong Xian's court were by no means something that could be stated in a few words. So when Wu Nianyue grew up, he understood what Wu Chaoyue had experienced and could not help but ask Wu Chaoyue: "Father, how did you come through those years? Also, how did everything you did seem to be a prophet in the future?"

"How did you get through it? You're going through it." Wu Chaoyue replied with a smile, and said, "As for the Prophet of the Unknown, you are my son, I won't hide it from you. I do have some skills in Prophet of the Unknown."

Unexpectedly, when my father replied like this, Wu Nianyue was inevitably a little surprised and looked at Wu Chaoyue and said, "Father, can you really predict the future? Can you teach me?"
