Han Mingyu (Chen Ping), the head of the Ministry of Revenue, knew that Hong Chengchou was a traitor who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and submitted a memorial to Chen Qiyu's retort. He was attacked by censors and demoted to the eighth-rank Ministry of Revenue Baochao Tijue.

In the official army, Yingxiang took advantage of Hong Chengchou to deal with the Xining mutiny and had no time to look east. He led his troops to dozens of prefectures and counties in Gongchang, Pingliang, Lintao, Fengxiang, defeated He Renlong and Zhang Tianli's army, killed Guyuan soldiers and prefabricated Lu Menglong, and then surrounded Longzhou for more than 40 days and then slaughtered the city. Cao Wenzhao died in battle.

At the same time, due to the clear rewards and punishments and the good food, more and more people came to surrender.

Chen Hai did not allow his subordinates to plunder the people, and the copycat supplies were in a hurry. Xi'an was called Chang'an in ancient times. Chen Hai knew that there were many large tombs around him. He first dug several large tombs with his subordinates, and then organized a night attack on Fan Yongdou's old house, one of the eight major Shanxi merchants, and looted huge amounts of material funds and silver, which also attracted the encirclement of the official army.

Chongzhen felt that Han Mingyu was a talent for saving the country and planned to use him more, but the court officials had already brought Han Mingyu on the blacklist. Chongzhen took advantage of the conflict between court officials' court officials' promotion of Han Mingyu as the head of the Ministry of War due to the commercial tax conflict.

Two months later, Han Mingyu proposed the suggestion of rectifying the Jingying camp, which was approved by Chongzhen. He resisted the opposition and was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War and was also the admiral of the Jingying camp. He soon investigated and dealt with various illegal acts in the Jingying camp, and was therefore hated by civil and military officials in the court.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Fengyang Imperial Tomb was looted by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Chongzhen was distraught and appointed Han Mingyu to suppress the civilian army. During this period, he was framed by spies who were almost bribed by civil and military officials in the court.

After the court received the news that the Fan family in Shanxi was robbed, it was forced to dispatch the Xuanfu soldiers to suppress the bandits. In order to find a partner, Han Mingyu volunteered to join Shanxi as a governor, but the court finally decided to appoint him as his deputy.

Back to the main line, Chen Hai bought more than 300 ally ancient horses from the border by robbing Fan Yongdou and through Fan Yongdou's property, greatly enhancing the liquidity.

The ancient tribe of the Union sold to Chen Hai's war horses and heard that Chen Hai could use fairy art to lower the sky thunder and kill the enemy, so he wanted to ask Chen Hai to help assassinate the leader of the enemy tribe, but Chen Hai did not agree.

Chen Hai learned that the imperial court sent Xuanfu soldiers to wipe him out, but because of Chen Hai's repeated efforts, the generals of Xuanfu soldiers chased and ran away, and they even interacted when they set up camp.

After a long time, the soldiers of Xuanfu were criticized by the court. Chen Hai did not want to confront the officers and soldiers head-on, so he took his subordinates out of seclusion and entered Mongolia.

Not long after, Chen Hai sniped the Mongolian friends to kill the enemy leader, and helped the tribe win the war, gained a lot of cattle and sheep, and formed Anda with the Mongolian tribe prince.

At this time, Jiannu invaded the border again, Dorgon and Haoge invaded Hetao, Taiyuan area, the court was busy suppressing bandits, and Xuanfu was in a hurry.

Chen Hai knew that Xuanfu had weak defense and did not want to see Han people slaughtered by Jiannu. He led his men and Mongolian soldiers borrowed from Anda, Mongolia to station in Xuanfu, and gave an inspiring lecture at the city of Xuanfu, and ended with a volume one.

Volume 2: Wild Growth

Chen Hai led the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu to repel Jiannu and decided to station troops in Xuanfu Town from then on.

The court sent troops to recover Xuanfu failed and sent civil officials to surrender. Because they could not stand the civil officials' attitude towards him and the peasant army, they angrily killed the envoy.

But at this time the court had already been in internal and external troubles, and there was no extra force to recover Xuanfu. Han Mingyu suggested that since the bandits in Xuanfu took the initiative to resist Jiannu, it was not a person who was a misleading country, he could send envoys to appease him. Chongzhen agreed.

The final result was that Chen Hai listened to the tune but not the announcement, and gradually became a warlord. While constantly expanding his troops, he began to study firearms such as firearms.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji broke through Dushikou and entered the border for the fourth time, and ravaged the capital for more than four months. It was known in history as the "Bingzi Rumor". Chen Hai took his troops to "respond to the king".

Chen Hai, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and other Ming generals cooperated to finally repel Jiannu. Chongzhen was overjoyed and rewarded many generals. However, the Xuanfu soldiers retreated on their own after repelling Jiannu, which made Chongzhen feel like he was stuck in his throat.

In order to supplement military rations and money, Chen Hai and Xuanfu soldiers robbed the other three of the eight major Shanxi merchants, and were once again dissatisfied with the court.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's troops were defeated by the Ming army, and the court finally had the energy to deal with Chen Hai of Xuanfu, so he sent Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng to conquer Xuanfu.

Chen Hai once again smashed the conquest plan of the government army

Qin Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong brought his men to join Chen Hai.

Han Mingyu was ordered by the court to go to Shanxi for disaster relief. He went to Xuanfu to visit Chen Hai despite dissuasion. The two finally recognized each other, got drunk, and agreed to help each other.

However, after returning to the capital, Han Mingyu was jointly sentenced to prison by court officials on false charges such as acquaintances of affair with bandits and other false charges, and was later poisoned to death. After all, Han Mingyu's actions over the past four years have long been intolerable by the bureaucratic and gentry class.

Chen Hai was furious when he learned the news and wanted to avenge his old friends.

Chongzhen summoned Chen Hai and handed over his old friend's will to him, hoping that Chen Hai would fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Hai was moved by his old friend's words and finally reached a reconciliation with the court, was named the Count, and continued to be stationed in Xuanfu.

Chen Hai followed his old friend's regret and married Han Mingyu's granddaughter Han Taotao.

At the same time, because Han Mingyu's policies played a role, the people in Shanxi and other places felt at ease, and Li Zicheng and other civilian generals lost their military resources.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, Jiannu entered the Farbourg for the fifth time. Chen Hai led the Xuanfu troops to defeat Jiannu repeatedly and pursued them all the way, driving the remaining Jiannu's troops to Siberia, were granted the title of Marquis, was appointed as the Taibao, and was appointed as the governor of the three borders. He was together with Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao, and Sun Chuanting to guard the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Chen Hai's call for the army is getting higher and higher, and his influence in the court is getting greater and greater. Zheng Zhilong also found him and hopes to join forces with him to discuss major events.

Chen Hai and Zheng Zhilong briefly jointly developed marine trade. Later, due to various conflicts, Chen Hai took the opportunity to get rid of Zheng Zhilong and took over the Zheng family navy and the huge trading group.

With the efforts of the court's political allies, the household registration system and tax system were more perfect, and the bourgeois power among the Ming Dynasty became increasingly greater. In addition, the intentional or unintentional fuel of the subordinates in the army, the conflict between Chen Hai and the Zhu family became increasingly fierce, and it was useless for Chongzhen to marry his daughter.

In the 20th year of Chongzhen, Chen Hai finally broke up with Chongzhen. Later, through war and a series of peace talks, the Ming Dynasty finally realized the constitutional monarchy.

In the 24th year of Chongzhen, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed unanimously, and Chen Hai served as the first prime minister of the Ming Empire.

The following year, the warships of the Ming Empire began to march towards the Pacific Ocean...
