"This Great Qing Emperor is truly interesting, actually sending their Crown Prince over."

Looking at Crown Prince Aisin Gioro Fulin, who was tied up on the city wall in the distance, Yan Yun couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly.

On the city wall in the distance.

The official pressing down on Fulin looked at the Yanhuang Empire, which completely ignored them, and his expression couldn't help but darken.

Although he had been somewhat prepared in his heart, he still couldn't hide his disappointment at this moment.

And Aisin Gioro Fulin, who was being held down, saw this, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his eyes.

Because, since the Yanhuang Empire was ignoring them, then he wouldn't have to be a scapegoat.

However, before he could be happy for long, he heard a cold voice beside his ear: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, have a good journey."

As soon as the words fell, Fulin felt a pain in his neck.

He wanted to cover his neck, but was held back by the two soldiers beside him, and finally there was no more movement.

Looking at the corpse in his hand, Chen Gaoming wiped the blood on his hands expressionlessly and said, "Take the corpse of His Highness, the Crown Prince, down and settle it properly."

"Yes!!"

With his hands behind his back, Chen Gaoming looked at the tragic fighting outside the city wall, his eyes deep, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, why is this Great Qing suddenly about to end? It seems that I should make some plans early, after all, I can't be buried with this group of barbarians."

Thinking of this, Chen Gaoming turned and left the city wall.

After returning to the city, he took advantage of his convenient identity to quietly take away a large amount of gold and silver from the city, and then disappeared from the city, whereabouts unknown.

When his subordinates came to find him in the evening, they discovered that Chen Gaoming's residence had long been empty.

Seeing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that Chen Gaoming had escaped.

Then he immediately turned around and returned to the city, packed up some valuable things, changed into civilian clothes, disguised himself, and took advantage of the fact that the city had not yet been breached, and fled into the crowd of common people.

He knew that staying here now was a dead end, and now, there was only a glimmer of hope if he escaped.

Besides, he was just a small person who didn't even deserve to have a name, and it was estimated that no one would specifically target him.

And the actions of Chen Gaoming and this soldier were not an isolated case in this city.

It can be said that as long as they weren't fools, at this moment, they would all be thinking about escaping for their lives.

A military defeat is like a landslide, a general trend.

When the Yanhuang Empire and the other two countries broke through the city gate, there were almost no people left in the city.

On the chaotic streets, messy things were thrown all over the ground, and there were also some soldiers and civilians fighting each other for some valuable things.

Seeing this, Yan Yun waved his hand and ordered people to search the city, and no one should be spared.

The armies of the Russian Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate were simply scraping the ground three feet when searching the city, wishing they could turn the ground over.

This time, almost all the efforts were made by the two countries, and it can be said that the losses were heavy, and they urgently needed some compensation.

Yan Yun pretended not to see this.

After all, if you want the horse to run, you can't not let the horse eat its fill, and he doesn't like such a small thing.

The next day, morning.

Except for the houses that couldn't be moved, everything else that could be taken away in the entire city was dismantled and carried off.

Looking at the rows of houses with their doors wide open, Yan Yun's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but complain, "Are the soldiers under your command all crazy with poverty? They even took the doors."

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Yesterday, they had ordered their soldiers to take away everything that could be taken, but they didn't expect their soldiers to go so far as to not even spare the doors.

Seeing them like this, Yan Yun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what's done is done. Anyway, these houses will have to be torn down and rebuilt in the future."

Afterward, the group continued to advance slowly into the interior of the Great Qing Empire.

Time passed, and half a year flew by.

The Great Qing Empire was destroyed.

In this battle, the Yanhuang Empire lost less than a thousand soldiers, while the Russian Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate lost ten thousand times that of the Yanhuang Empire.

The same was true on other battlefields. Because of this, the group of surrendered emperors complained to Ye Chen one after another, as if they were in a misery competition.

Yanhuang Empire, Xuanhuang City.

Ye Chen looked at the documents in his hand. These were all letters of complaint from the kings of the empires who had been the main force in this battle. The content could be said to be as miserable as possible. Those people simply didn't want their faces anymore.

Of course, the letters of complaint were just on the surface. Their real purpose was to express how much they had paid for this war and how heavy their losses were.

Thus expressing another meaning, that is, they are already very miserable, and they have no ability to resist at all, hoping that Ye Chen can be a little lighter.

None of the people who can become the ruler of a country are fools. They understand that although they have nominally surrendered to the Yanhuang Empire and accepted the rule of the Yanhuang Empire.

However, Ye Chen will definitely weaken them one by one in the future.

And this time, receiving Ye Chen's order to let them be the main force of the attack was the first knife.

This knife, under the pretext of war, cut off most of their forces.

Even if they knew that Ye Chen was using them as cannon fodder, there was no way, because not taking this knife meant death.

And the emperors who understood Ye Chen's purpose, the army they sent this time, can be said to be the maximum limit in their respective hands.

Self-weakening, this is the practice of smart people, because the more they weaken, the safer they are, and at the same time, they can ask Ye Chen for some compensation.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and regard all things as straw dogs.

However, emperors are unkind, and they can also regard the people as straw dogs.

Ye Chen wouldn't care about the millions of soldiers who died in this incident because they weren't his own soldiers.

And those emperors, from the moment they surrendered to the Yanhuang Empire, these soldiers had actually been abandoned by them.

Therefore, the people who died this time are ultimately just sacrifices in the transfer of power. At most, a monument will be erected in the end as a trace left in the world.

Afterward, Ye Chen replied to these original emperors based on the information in his hand, and at the same time made some "compensation."

And for the emperors who did not use their full strength in this time, he also had to make certain punishments.

And with the end of this war, the world was completely unified.

The massive world map behind Ye Chen had completely turned red.

The only words on it were Yanhuang, with no other empire names.

Looking at the population aggregation statistics, distribution map, and terrain on the map, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.

He had discovered a problem: the Imperial Capital located in North America was too far away from other places.

Moreover, the world had just been unified, and the people across the ocean had not yet fully embraced the new order, especially those in the China region.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and decided to establish a new Imperial Capital in the China region. Now that the world was truly unified, and Qian Kun had been reorganized, it could be described as a world-shaking new era.

Therefore, a new Imperial Capital was needed.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen said, "Yuan Lan, issue the order to move the capital to Chang'an City in one year. This Imperial Capital, Xuanhuang City, will be designated as the old capital.

As for this place, apart from some necessary equipment, keep everything simple and move it over. Also, prepare for the unification ceremony in one year."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Yuan Lan couldn't help but pause for a moment, then quickly went down to issue the order.
