Any counterattack attempt will be called for fierce greetings from artillery, and the new 01st Division will also be put into the reserve team for blocking.

Facts have proved that such a blocking was simply unnecessary. The battalions on the front line were able to withstand the counterattack of the Beijing Camp under superior firepower.

A tug-of-war between offense and counterattack was fiercely on the first line of defense.

Sun Chuanting has been trying to fight a defensive counterattack to win, but the backwardness of the weapons has made this defensive counterattack have no effect.

The battalions cooperated more and more tacitly in this corridor. Once the Beijing battalion tried to break through from a certain point, machine guns would be set up on both sides to shoot wildly.

With the frontal machine gun blocking, it is useless even if there are too many people. With the equipment of the Beijing Camp, if you want to form combat power, you must adopt a dense formation method, which is the most likely way to be quickly slaughtered by machine guns.

Under the attack of artillery and machine guns, basically those who can rush up lost the threat. After all, the equipment was too poor, and the equipment was all eliminated by the Shandong Army in the early years.

Sun Chuanting was commanding behind him and was about to vomit blood, scolding Zhao Yan for being vicious. The condom under Zhao Yan was indeed a bit sinister. He actually restricted 300,000 people to a corridor, and then used advanced equipment to kill the Beijing camp.

However, the Beijing Camp could not hold on anymore and quickly retreated to the third line of defense.

The third line of defense was a solid line of defense, which poured a large number of bunkers with concrete. When the Jingying retreated, Sun Chuanting was shocked when he counted the losses.

The 250,000 Beijing camp had only 130,000 left, and 120,000 casualties. In addition to the 50,000 people who remained on the defense line, there were only 180,000 left in the entire Beijing camp.

The Beijing Camp turtle retracted into the third line of defense. The General Staff discussed for nearly an hour and sent someone to test the shelling of a fortress and tested the strength of the fortress.

According to the results, the General Staff believes that if you attack strongly, you can indeed take down the third line of defense, and the casualties will not be too great. Just use artillery to push forward slowly.

But this will inevitably take a long time.

Finally, the General Staff decided to adopt the tactic of attacking the heart. The artillery stopped the artillery at noon, and the New 01st Division started to eat. The General Staff quickly found hundreds of well-written ones and gathered them to copy the propaganda newspaper.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, more than a dozen hot air balloons rose and began to fly towards the direction of Jingying.

When these hot air balloons flew over the Beijing camp, stacks of propaganda were scattered from above. Since the hot air balloons flew relatively high, they could not hit the ground.

There is nothing wrong with the publicity newspaper itself, after all, not every soldier knows words these days.

But what's so bad is that the Jingying also taught some cultural lessons to the soldiers according to the Shandong Army model. Although the popularity is not as good as that of the Shandong Army, many soldiers still recognize the characters.

There are two sides to propaganda newspapers: one is material offensive and the other is ideological offensive.

The material offensive is mainly based on silver rewards. Those who automatically withdraw from the battlefield can receive ten taels of silver rewards. The ideological offensive is to seize the origins of the soldiers in the Beijing camp to win over.

Most of the people who will participate in the Beijing camp are the sons of poor people or descendants of the original military households. They have lived in poverty for a long time, which roughly means that Zhao Yan represents the people, and only when he comes to power can he solve the difficulties faced by the people.

This kind of ideological offensive is extremely powerful, but it is not ruled out that some rascals joined the army for the military pay of the Beijing camp. However, there is a material offensive against these rascals.

Sun Chuanting picked up a picture and submitted it to check it out. After reading it, he sighed: "I am powerless to return to heaven."

"Sir, should you please put away all the paper thrown from the sky?"

"No need." Sun Chuanting waved his hand and said, "If you want to leave, don't make things difficult."

Sun Chuanting knew that at this time, he could no longer stop the situation of fleeing. After the defeat of the Beijing camp, his morale was depressed, and now he didn't want to fight again.

If you can win if you die in battle, most soldiers may choose to continue fighting.

However, when fighting with the Shandong Army, there is almost no hope of winning. Instead, it will lose its life in vain. Many soldiers feel that it is not worth it.

Furthermore, the issue of loyalty to the royal family they believed in was also shaken under the offensive of this propaganda newspaper.

If an army wants to be fearless, it must have something they believe in.

Whether it is to drive the invaders out of their homes or other goals, this goal must be resonant and must be recognized by people.

When this belief was shaken, no one came out to correct it. As a result, in just one afternoon, 100,000 people left the entire Jingying camp, and many people saw that so many people had left, and there was no hope of victory and left in the crowd.

Looking at the groups of soldiers from the Beijing camp leaving the battlefield, everyone knew that the Zhu family's royal family had gone.

"Your Majesty, I'll issue an edict!" Zhao Yan said in a deep voice expressionlessly.

...On September 20th, Chongzhen issued an edict to the world to abdicate General Jianwei Zhao Yan.

On the same day, Sun Chuanting resigned as the governor of the Jingying camp and transferred the Jingying camp to the Shandong Zhengfu. 180,000 Jingying camps were merged into the Shandong Army and transferred to the Yingzhou Military Region for training.

However, after resigning his abdication after handing over the military power, Chongzhen bargained with Zhao Yan.

Chongzhen originally meant to let Zhao Yan marry into the Zhu family, but Zhao Yan disagreed until now. He refused to marry into the Zhu family. It was no problem to marry Princess Changping, and it was no problem to let her be the queen. Even if Chongzhen is the emperor, it was no problem to set up his own business.

The Ming Dynasty had reached its terminal at this time.

After the Jing camp was controlled by Zhao Yan, Chongzhen had no room for bargaining. Chongzhen was depressed and half-dead, but he was powerless to change.

To marry into the Zhu family? Of course, you can't even think about it. To marry into the Zhu family is too embarrassing.

As for the matter of being named a queen, you can be named two queens! Wanli has only been named two empress dowagers, why can't he be named two queens?

Chongzhen's declaration of abdication shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.

No one was born before the war, and Chongzhen would actually lose this decisive battle. But the fact is so cruel. The Shandong New 01 Division, which won the war, suffered minimal losses, with only more than 80 casualties, while the Beijing camp suffered 120,000 casualties and 50,000 casualties.

Zhao Yan's martial arts are so powerful that it has become so terrifying.

On September 25, Zhao Yan returned to Zhaojiabao and issued an edict to the world to establish the "Chinese Empire" and change the 12th year of Chongzhen to the first year of the empire.

...At the time of the transformation of the trip, there were many trivial matters.

A series of problems need to be solved by Zhao Yan. First of all, it is the problem of establishing a capital. Some people think that Zhaojiabao is not suitable for Yanjing.

At the same time, the system needs to be formulated in detail.

"I wonder what your Majesty has to ask about the capital?" Zhang Buyun asked Zhao Yan.

"Please choose the traditional activity area of ​​the Han people!" Zhao Yan thought for a while and said. Zhang Buyun looked on the map for a long time, pointed to Nanjing and said: "Nanjing is the most prosperous area among the traditional activity areas of the Han people. It is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and even the national destiny is not long."

"Forget it, let's set the capital in Huang County!" Zhao Yan looked at the map and weighed for a long time, but decided not to change it. After looking around, Huang County next to Zhaojiabao was the most suitable.

Although Zhaojiabao has a mountainous terrain, it is enough to develop the defense line to Huangxian County. It is a plain area. At the same time, it is also the area where Zhao Yan has been operating the longest, and its foundation is the most stable here.

As for transportation issues, future railway transportation lines will revolve around Zhaojiabao.

The reason why the change was not made is that it was too troublesome to move the capital. In addition, Jiangnan is an economically developed region with a large population and expensive land. It was about to build a huge Yanjing there, which was a waste of money and money! So Zhao Yan decided to set the capital in Huang County first.

However, Zhao Yan had another plan to establish a capital, which was to establish a few more accompanying capitals in the colony.

Australia is obviously good. It can build a capital and a random circle of land there, and a magnificent Yanjing can be built at a low cost.

The matter of establishing the capital was determined, but in terms of the system.

Zhao Yan still prefers constitutional monarchy, but this constitution is definitely not prepared for himself.

...Zhao Yan was not in a hurry to ascend the throne. After Chongzhen announced his abdication, Zhao Yan began to accept the administrative power of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the first one to accept was the cabinet.

The cabinet was reunited, Zhang Buyun became the first chief minister of the cabinet, and Chen Zhongsheng was appointed as the governor of the Western Regions and was sent to the Western Regions by Zhao Yan.

The cabinet was formed very quickly, and it took only five or six days. After receiving all the copywriting of the original cabinet, it immediately began to accept the administrative power of the provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Many civil servants trained last year have been transferred to grassroots work, and now there are many administrative personnel who can be transferred.

The administrative powers of the nine provinces of Hebei, Jianghuai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are all among the scope of acceptance this time.

After these nine provinces are included in the administrative scope, the whole world will be unified and the territory of the Chinese Empire will become very vast.

Officials from all over the country cooperated with this alternation. After Zhao Yan and Chongzhen's battle in Zhending Prefecture, everyone clearly realized that Dingge was irreversible.

Disobedient people will inevitably face a cruel blow. Since some local officials swept away their posts, they have caused armed police from all over the country to frequently dispatch and arrest the departed officials everywhere.

This time, Zhao Yan was not ruthless and found evidence and searched his home.

With the cooperation of local armed police, the dispatched officials easily grasped the administrative power in various places. No matter what kind of wealthy family it is, they must bow to the government.

Nothing else, just because the government has soldiers, during this sensitive period, any person who does not cooperate may be cleaned up with iron-blooded means.

The six ministries of the capital were also accepted at this time and were then disbanded.

Official institutions and assets in various regions in Jiangnan were also accepted, such as the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the Qifangs of the Qinhuai River, which were all accepted by Shandong Zhengfu.

A large number of Mingting officials lost their official positions and returned to their hometowns, and replaced them with officials trained by Zhao Yan.

When a local official arrives at the local area, the first choice is to measure the land and declare that self-cultivated farmers with a number of less than ten acres are exempt from taxes and exempt all taxes arrears from the people. The case is handed over to the court. Once the court is established, a large-scale reversal of the case will inevitably be carried out on the local area.

At the same time, it will inevitably gather refugees in the city and open a porridge shed to help the poor.

After this series of policies, the people from all over the world were attached to each other and forgot the Ming Dynasty to Java in just a few seconds, and began to warmly celebrate the founding of the Chinese Empire.

Zhao Yan's ascension to the throne was arranged on October 18th.

In the formulation of internal systems, Zhao Yan adopted the separation of powers, namely, the separation of administration, justice, and legislation, without governing each other, and balanced each other. In terms of military affairs, if the separation of military and political affairs is implemented, the highest subordinate of all military forces is the imperial emperor, and soldiers should not interfere in politics.

Military power must be held in your hands for the time being. When the time is ripe, you can naturally hand over the military power to the cabinet. In the treatment of those founding heroes, Zhao Yan adopted the reward method of allocating land.

Zhao Yan has now built so much land that he cannot develop it at all. With so much land, what's the point of rewarding some?

What he lacks the most is land.

On the fifth day of the October 10th, Zhao Yan summoned his civil and military personnel. Except for some people far away in Nanyang and America who had no time to come, the others gathered at Zhaojiabao.

The gathering was very relaxed, and Zhao Yan held a celebration party.

There were many exquisite food and fruits at the party. All the civil and military officials present took their families with them. Zhao Yan announced the reward at the party.

It is not just a reward, but a spoils-sharing meeting.

"Zhao Yong was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Chinese Empire, granted a marquis, and rewarded 100,000 mu of Australian land."

"Wang Wenyue was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Chinese Empire, granted a marquis, and rewarded 100,000 mu of Australian land."
