New Ming Empire mixed in America

To show off our country’s prestige? I’m afraid it won’t be possible to mine until death.

After hearing this, my body that still had some strength seemed to be drained of energy, and it lay heavily back on the ground.

Amidst the ups and downs of my mood, there was only one sentence left in my mind:

'It's over, it's all over.'

Although it's nice to live another life, I really can't be happy to return to such a dynasty.

No matter how good Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was, he still fulfilled the saying "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country" until his death.

Look again at Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, the same last emperor. No, he is not the last emperor yet. There are three emperors after him: Tongzhi, Guangxu, and Xuantong.

These Tatar Qing emperors were compared with Chongzhen, and they were stunned.

With such a dynasty, what’s the point of coming back?

There is really no way out except rebellion.

"Long live Lord, drink some water."

Old Liu, the Minister of Rites, took out an almost dry water bag from his arms and licked his dry lips.

He carefully looked around, handed the water bag to Li Mingqi's hand, and then took Liu Erhe with him to block the sight of others.

I don't know how long this water has been hidden, but there is a strange taste in my mouth after drinking it.

Seeing the actions of the two people, Li Mingqi sighed again.

After just taking a sip of saliva and touching his lips, he handed the water bag back to Old Man Liu and said, "You guys should drink some too."

Old Man Liu took the water bag and carefully hid it in his arms, but he shook his head: "I'll be away from America for who knows how long. I'd better keep this water for Long Live Lord to moisten his mouth."

Liu Erhe next to him also nodded, as if it should be the case.

Look, these are the important ministers of the country, they are all loyal ministers.

Li Mingqi didn't know why this idea came to his mind.

"From now on, I will change my name to Li Mingqi, and our Ming Dynasty will be changed to the New Ming Empire."

When Long Live Lord said that he wanted to change his name and country name, Liu Youcai just hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Now that things have reached this point, it is okay for Long Live Lord to change his name to express his ambition. As for the name of the country... the New Ming Empire sounds grand, after all, it is not appropriate to always borrow the name of the Ming Dynasty.

"Tell me about what happened to us. I really can't remember it."

Nothing happened, and it was not known how long it would be before he arrived in the United States. Li Mingqi could only use this time to learn more about his life experience and current environment.

"One year ago, the late Emperor burned paper and turned into a dragon, establishing our new Ming Dynasty..." As soon as Old Liu started speaking, Li Mingqi was filled with questions.

"Tell me carefully what this... this paper-burning dragon is."

When Long Live Master asked this, Liu Erhe's eyes lit up next to Old Man Liu and he rushed to say:

"Burning paper and transforming into a dragon is amazing, even better than Liu Bang's ability to kill a white snake."

Looking at the beaming Liu Erhe, Old Man Liu nodded happily. Thinking back to the late Emperor's celestial appearance at that time, it was really...

"At that time, the late emperor was wearing Taoist robes, held a sword in his left hand, waved it, and shouted loudly..."

Speaking of this, Liu Erhe looked solemn, but the enthusiasm in his eyes could not be stopped.

"The late emperor shouted loudly, there is no justice in the Qing Dynasty today, we should restore the title of the Ming Dynasty and attack it!"

Liu Erhe stretched his right hand forward, made a fist-clenching and then-opening motion with his palm facing up, and continued to preach:

"At that time, the late emperor made this move, and a blue flame ignited in his hand. He gently waved his flaming palm on the white paper, and with the aroma of wine, a real dragon appeared on the paper."

"That is really auspicious. I, Liu Youcai, am lucky enough to follow the late emperor. I have accumulated eight lifetimes of blessings."

Old man Liu answered from the side, and Liu Erhe also said with emotion: "The late emperor is invulnerable to water and fire, he is the reincarnation of a true dragon!"

Next to him, Li Mingqi listened to the whole process with a sullen face, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The blue flame that ignited on the hand was probably not alcohol. As for the real dragon that appeared on the paper, it was definitely drawn in advance using potassium hydroxide or something like that.

As for the ancients who didn’t know what potassium hydroxide was?

That's easy, just use human milk, then bake it over fire, and red writing will appear.

If you write on yellow paper and put it in water, the writing will appear; if you put it in ink, the writing will appear on a black background and white.

Science is so amazing.

But looking at Old Man Liu and his son who were deceived into becoming fanatical believers, Li Mingqi did not complain.

I really don’t know how to explain to them what science is.

Besides, Li Mingqi also has his own selfish motives. He doesn't know how long it will take to get to the United States. With two people who respect him very much, at least he has someone to look after him.

You must know that the mortality rate of piglets transported to the United States during the Qing Dynasty was not a small number.

In the following time, while Li Mingqi recovered his body, he listened to Old Man Liu telling how his father in this body evolved from a poor Taoist priest to the founding emperor. Finally, he also talked about how they got to where they are today.

Even though Old Man Liu said a lot of nonsense, Li Mingqi still basically understood it.

To sum up, the old man in this body felt that the people's livelihood was difficult, and used a few magic tricks he learned from nowhere to fool more than a hundred people in a village into following him in an 'uprising', and erected a 'walk for heaven' at the entrance of the village.

, the banner of "restore my Ming Dynasty".

There are more than 100 people in the village, and even a few children who have just learned to run have been given official titles.

The former village chief, Rizheng (village chief), became a general with more than a hundred people under one man.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The Li family court, which had just announced the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, was wiped out by the county officials who got the news.

And the traitor who betrayed them, who claimed to have lived abroad, did not run away. He followed the late emperor to the market entrance, which was considered worthy of his fate.

Only the 'General' was left, leading Old Man Liu and a dozen others, and ran out carrying the unconscious fifteen-year-old 'Prince' on his back.

In the end, they were deceived by someone else, and they were all packed up and put on a cargo ship bound for the United States.

The general who claimed to be the regent finally understood the fact that he had been deceived yesterday, and took the few remaining 'generals' to launch a country-breaking battle related to the fate of the new Ming Empire.

The outcome was not good. The elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty were suppressed on the spot by a few barbarians with wooden sticks and soles of their feet, and they could not even break out the hatch.

Now only Old Man Liu, a civil servant with little fighting ability, and Liu Erhe, who was named the commander of the royal guards and was responsible for personally protecting Long Live Lord, were spared.

In the words of Old Man Liu, that is:

"It has shaken the foundation of the country! The regent's disaster was caused by his failure to listen to dissuasion. It doesn't matter if he dies, but he drags the people of Ming Dynasty into trouble together. He is really a treacherous minister."

Old Liu held his face swollen by the regent and cried loudly. Liu Erhe, who was covered in footprints next to him, also looked indignant.

It’s okay not to mention the past.

At this time, two important ministers of the country, who had just experienced two dangers of annihilation, were looking at Li Mingqi with serious expressions.

Old Man Liu advised: "Long live my lord, now that the country is shaken and the country is unstable, please consider your Majesty the common people in the world and eat quickly."

Liu Erhe also helped:

"Yes, your majesty, although the regent has committed a crime, he has no disobedience. Please don't let your majesty get angry. Please eat more of this meal."

Listening to the advice of the ministers, Li Mingqi looked at the small piece of black and hairy 'imperial food' in his hand, and he really didn't know how to eat it.

Just a few hours have passed since he drove out and now he is sitting here discussing matters with the ministers.

I have experienced great joys and sorrows during this period, but a few hours ago I was eating hot pot, and a few hours later I could only eat this dark bread. It was really a twist of fate.

He sighed, closed his eyes, and stuffed the moldy bread into his mouth.
