The next month, the Japanese envoy did take 1.8 million taels of gold and rushed to visit the Celestial Palace again. Zhang Yuntian also selected thirty craftsmen from the corpse guards as promised. As the Japanese envoy returned to Tokyo, all this seemed so harmonious and smooth, but a storm behind him continued to ferment.

In the fifth year of the True God, the Celestial Empire began to gradually enter the era of electrification. In various major cities, cars galloping back and forth on the roads were seen. The aircraft also began to extend from the original military reconnaissance aircraft to fighter jets, bombers, transport aircraft, etc., and civilian passenger aircraft were also developed.

The mass production of aircraft has raised the Celestial Empire to a new level that is unmatched by no one.

However, during this period, the world pattern changed drastically. Eleven southern states in the United States separated from the Federation and formed the Confederacy, and provoked a civil war on the grounds that Lincoln took office as US president. This civil war to liberate black slaves began.

At the same time, in Europe, the Kingdom of Prussia launched a full-scale war against France, and for a moment, the smoke of gunpowder spread all over the world.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yuntian launched a large-scale war to conquer the world. The first legion was 500,000, and conquered southern India to the south, then sent troops to Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries, and landed in Australia.

The second legion, one million people, set out from the Russian border to conquer the Ottoman Empire and obtain a port in the Mediterranean.

The third legion of 800,000 crossed the Red Sea and invaded Egypt and South Africa.

The fourth legion marched into Canada through the continental shelf.

What Zhang Yuntian wanted was to conquer and occupy, not colonize, so for each country to conquer, first convert the remaining armed forces into corpse guards, and then set up a Chinese school in the local area, setting Chinese as the official language. For locals who can communicate fluently, certain monthly economic subsidies and tax exemptions will be given.

Carrots and sticks are the most effective means of governance. As long as the armed forces are firmly in their hands and favors the people, subtly it will always gradually change people's thoughts. After all, in the 19th century, most countries were under the shadow of colonial rule. Faced with Zhang Yuntian's friendly and kind management method, people naturally accepted it with sincerity.

At the same time, Zhang Yuntian advocated that everyone was equal and did not divide people into different levels according to their skin color and race, which greatly eased the contradictions between races and was more conducive to long-term rule.

In this way, the land area of ​​the Celestial Empire was expanding rapidly like a rocket, but the number of domestic troops did not increase significantly, so the garrisons in various places were gradually decreasing.

After seeing this opportunity, Britain, the former Empire of Sun-Down, saw that his colony had fallen little by little, and his position in the world pattern was rapidly weakening. In order to avoid the bad luck of subverting his country, he began to plan a surprise attack against the Celestial Empire!

On the one hand, the United Kingdom joined forces with Canada, Norway, Sweden and other countries to sign a joint defense agreement. On the other hand, it secretly contacted Japan, an island country far away from the other end of the world, and was ready to take advantage of the emptiness of the Celestial Empire to attack the east and west and defeat it in one fell swoop!

Their conspiracy tactics are very simple. Britain will send troops to assist Sweden in launching an attack on Russia. Since Russia and the Celestial Empire are allies and have signed a joint defense agreement, the Celestial Empire will definitely lead its troops to support it.

At this time, Japan will send troops to harass North Korea again. By the same token, the Celestial Empire will still send troops to rescue. In this way, the troops guarding the Celestial Empire will be greatly dispersed. At this time, the British and Japanese coalition warships will attack Dagu, land from Tianjin, and directly capture the Forbidden City!

Such a battle is already familiar to the UK, and the China-Changzhou railways are well connected. Although this is of great help to transport and send troops, it also provides convenient conditions for foreign invasions.

The British believed that Zhang Yuntian, the true god sitting in the Forbidden City, was the spiritual pillar of the entire Celestial Empire and the supreme commander who combined military and political affairs. Although for some reason, he had not yet been emperor, as long as he was taken down, the entire Celestial Empire's army would inevitably be defeated without a fight. At that time, as long as Zhang Yuntian was forced to disclose these advanced technologies to the world, the Celestial Empire's military advantages would be greatly weakened, and this would completely eliminate the Celestial Empire's ambitions for the world.

Britain's plan was not bad, and Japan certainly responded positively. At almost the same time, the Swedish army crossed the border and attacked St. Petersburg from both water and land. The Russian army could not resist and immediately asked for help from the Celestial Empire.

Now the one who truly holds power in Russia is the Grand Duke Podovic, the father of Zhang Yuntian's concubine Katerina. According to generation, he should be considered Zhang Yuntian's father-in-law. Now that his father-in-law has been beaten, he can't sit idly by his feelings and reason, right?

So Zhang Yuntian drew 100,000 elite troops from the northern region to rush to support, and at the same time mobilized bombers and attack aircraft as auxiliary troops.

The Swedish army had no idea what powerful enemy they were facing. Not to mention anything else, just take aircraft as an example. At present, all the weapons configurations of the army, including the Celestial Empire, do not have the anti-aircraft guns and other equipment that can accurately strike aircraft.

If you only shoot with a musket, not to mention that its range is extremely low and the speed of the bullet is very slow. If you want to hit the plane from the ground, it is almost the same as winning a five million lottery ticket.

Although the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly and is related to the terrain and the command ability of the commanding generals, there will inevitably be some unexpected emergencies on the battlefield, these unfavorable factors only play a role in delaying the war at most. Although this battle has not begun, the outcome has been decided.

However, Russia had just started fighting, and North Korea sent people to ask for rescue!

The Celestial Empire has always been a protector of North Korea. In addition, it is related to marriage, so Zhang Yuntian had no reason to refuse their request for help. However, at this time, most of the troops that the Celestial Empire could mobilize were in the southwest. Including the troops defending the capital, there were only seven or eight thousand people in total.

This situation is indeed unexpected. Even Qian Jiang miscalculated it. No wonder, as today's dynasty is so powerful, fighting south and north, the army of the True God Cult can defeat the battle wherever it goes. When each team saw the flag of the True God Cult, they immediately fled and fled. In this case, who would have thought that someone would dare to take the initiative to challenge the Great Heavenly Dynasty.

Qian Jiang was so anxious that he walked around the place, his eyebrows frowned. After a long time, he sighed heavily and said, "Oh, it's all my fault that I was so proud that I actually missed the treacherous man of Japan. I didn't expect that they would invade North Korea while my troops were empty! I was afraid that the invasion of North Korea was just to test our weakness, and the subsequent move would definitely be even more dangerous!"

"Is it possible... it possible..." Qian Jiang thought for a while and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no, now we have occupied a lot of land that originally belonged to Britain. I am afraid that the two countries and Sweden will discuss this time and prepare to attack us! In this way, their next step will be to reuse the same trick, land from Dagu and attack the capital! I suggest that the true god should go south to inspect the people's sentiments, avoid the edge of foreigners, and wait for the southern conquest to return to aid, and then the thieves will leave without fighting!"

Zhang Yuntian smiled, walked to Qian Jiang, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Military advisor is unsuccessful, originally this is also a way to deal with it..."

Originally, Qian Jiang heard something in Zhang Yuntian's words and asked quickly: "Is there any other way for the True God to solve the current crisis?"

Zhang Yuntian smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course, when the Japanese envoy purchased the demon-removing musket craft before, I told them that if one day Japan dared to be disrespectful to the Celestial Empire, then it would definitely bear my curse. Now it's time!"

He walked calmly to the sand table, inserted all the flags with the fleet near the Japanese port, and ordered: "From now on, mobilize all the fleets that can be mobilized, block the entire Japanese port. You must never let any Japanese ship leave the port! Remember, it is not warships, but all ships, even fishing boats, and not to let a Japanese leave the island of Japan if possible!

In such a passive battle situation, Zhang Yuntian did not focus on returning to defense, but wanted to block the Japanese from going to sea? Qian Jiang was a little confused. Although offense was the best defense, the military force that the Celestial Empire could allocate could not complete offensive defense at all. What's more, even if it was to attack, it should be to concentrate troops to attack Tokyo. What does blocking the port mean?

If the Japanese had already concentrated their fleet in a certain bay, and when the time was right and the scattered fleet forces would not be able to defend at all!

Qian Jiang was a little confused about Zhang Yuntian's decision. According to such a simple principle, the True God would definitely understand why he insisted on doing this? He wanted to refute, but he did not dare to refute. His face turned red and white, and he stood in front of the sand table in a daze, and his mouth was thrust, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Zhang Yuntian saw Qian Jiang’s concern and comforted him: “Don’t worry, Japan is about to pay a heavy price to betray the true god. My curse is about to come true. You just need to do what I told you to do!”

Seeing Zhang Yuntian's confident look, Qian Jiang couldn't say anything at the moment, so he had to compromise and nodded, secretly instructing Ren Liang and Yang Yuanpeng to gather 500 elite troops, and if the enemy breaks through the defense line and attacks the Forbidden City, he can leave a way out.

At this time, the cabinet ministers were celebrating each other. Although the invasion of the Celestial Empire had not officially begun, they had already smelled the smell of victory in the war.

Japan calls its army the Imperial Army, which started after the Meiji Restoration. Now that the Imperial Army is invading North Korea, it is like a state of no one. The North Korean army defeated it with one blow and had no combat power at all. In just over a dozen days of battle, the Japanese army won many major victories.

However, what made them even more excited was that the army of the Celestial Empire, which should have arrived to support, did not even see the figure. Such performance can only show one problem: the Celestial Empire has indeed no soldiers available, and now is an excellent opportunity to attack!

"Report to Prime Minister!" An officer walked in. "Just just received the report, the fleet of the Celestial Empire suddenly invaded our territorial waters and blocked many ports!"

"What?" Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito's face changed. Did he underestimate the strength of the Celestial Empire? They still have sufficient troops to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland? If this is true, it would be a waste of rice. He hurriedly asked: "What is the number of Celestial Empire warships? Are there any signs of attacking the port?"

"Return to Prime Minister, at present, the fleet of the Celestial Empire is very responsible. It is just docking quietly outside the range of the fort and has no intention of attack. Many ports across the country have reported the whereabouts of the Celestial Empire warships, so it is impossible to accurately estimate the number of enemies!"

"Prime Minister!" The envoy who went to the Celestial Dynasty last time successfully introduced the demon-removing musket technology and was ranked as the cabinet minister. He reminded him: "In the opinion of the lower class, the Celestial Dynasty's move is just a bluff. If the Celestial Dynasty really has the ability to mobilize its troops, they will definitely not appear in a panic, but quietly concentrate their troops to capture the port. If this is the case, I am afraid that the report we receive will not find the enemy's traces, but request support!"

Hirobuki Ito nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and encouraged: "You keep talking!"

"In my opinion, the Celestial Empire is now at the end of its strength. Although the number of warships is large, it is not concentrated. It is easy to be attacked one by one by one by one. We might as well use the tricks to make the enemy mistakenly think that we are already scared. When the British fleet is in place, we launch a night attack, break through the blockade, and then head towards Tianjin while the darkness! The Celestial Empire dispatched all the fleets to block us, and their defense will naturally become weaker. Congratulations to Prime Minister, the stupid layout of the Celestial Empire has already made our plan half successful!"

"And..." The messenger suddenly felt dizzy, and before he could finish the next words, he suddenly fell to the ground.

The sudden scene scared the ministers around him. After a while, several gray-haired doctors hurried in and reached out to touch the messenger's wrist twice.

"Huh?" Perhaps the condition was extremely strange. The doctor seemed to have never seen such a disease. He reached out and touched the patient's neck artery again, and finally looked into the nose again. Then he stood up with a gloomy face and said, "I'm very sorry, Prime Minister, the patient is dead!"

Dead? When everyone heard this bad news, they were stunned. This person was in his prime and rarely got sick. What's more, he was talking about it just now and there was no discomfort. How could he die if he died? This is too inconsistent with common sense!

Just as everyone was talking differently, someone suddenly whispered: "Is this... this the curse of the true god of the Celestial Empire?"
