It is estimated that it was because of the intervention of super-realistic forces to correct the historical trend of this plane, or that the gunpowder ignited by Wang Erhu triggered large-scale ball lightning. In short, the power of the big explosion on May 6th of the first year of Zhenbao was at least as powerful as the original. Ten times the plane. The Tang Dynasty created by Li Xianzhong and King Chuang himself were completely wiped out in the huge rising mushroom cloud.
Of course, it would be unrealistic to say that the Tang Dynasty was wiped out in ashes - because at this time there were still tens of thousands of bandits in Shandong, Shaanxi, Gansu, Tianjin and other places, enough to fight - however, considering that after the explosion, Emperor Zhenbao and his civil servants and generals, as well as the 120,000 troops besieging the capital, all turned into dust. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed.
In 1626 AD, the ill-fated traveler suddenly disappeared just before the capital was captured (along with him disappeared the Queen of the West, Yang Hao's daughter Yang Qing'er)
The time traveler worked hard for seven years, and finally left an orphan and a widowed mother, with no trace of him, which is really tragic.
However, he can finally rest now and no longer have to spend every day struggling in purgatory (about this last point, the author still has doubts.)
Liu Zhaosun has left, but the Daqi Empire he left behind is facing the fate of disintegration. Even the headquarters of Kaiyuan is now in danger, surrounded by powerful enemies, internal and external troubles. Perhaps Prince Liu Kan can change his fate and rise again. Perhaps, Daqi is just a flash in the pan, and everything will eventually be destroyed.
History has just begun, who knows the final outcome?
As for how exactly this big explosion happened? Why does the comet appear at this node? Where did Emperor Wuding go? All mysteries can only be explored and discovered by people in the future.

"Tian Khan was kind to Horqin, and even more kind to me. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, when the emperor was still the commander-in-chief of Kaiyuan, he treated me as his own sister. Now that Daqi is in trouble and the queen and prince are in danger, I and I Naturally, the clansmen cannot just sit idly by."
Horqin Khan put down his saber that was still dripping with blood, reined in his horse and came to Pei Dahu. He stared at Pei Dahu's scarred face carefully. He hadn't seen him for more than five years. The servant leader still looked murderous, but now he looked a little a little bit... Tired and old.
"You came just in time,"
Pei Dahu held the Yanling knife and looked at the dense corpses of bandits around him, gasping for air.
In a hearty battle of revenge, the so-called sad soldiers must win. From Pei Dahu to Yang Tong, everyone was determined to die. Before they died, they wanted to avenge Emperor Wuding.
After the Horqin cavalry joined, the Mongolian elite cavalry and the Kaiyuan soldiers fought together, and their combat effectiveness suddenly increased for a century. More than 1,500 bandits persisted for less than half an hour before they began to completely collapse. More than 700 people were killed. One hundred people were captured and the rest fled.
Like the Jianzhou Jurchens, this Mongolian elite cavalry under Bumbutai was also equipped with Kaiyuan's new weapons.
This group of thieves is the group that participated in the siege last night. Their leader is the nephew of Emperor Zhenbao, named Li Ziming. After killing Yuan Keli, he still can't forgive his hatred. He heard that Liu Zhaosun's son and wife were planning to escape from Zhangjiagang. , did not bother to gather a large group of people, and chased him all the way.
Li Ziming originally wanted to kill this group of desperate officers and soldiers, but he did not expect that the Mongols would suddenly appear behind him and launch a fatal backstab.
Not only Li Ziming, but also Kang Yingqian did not expect Bumu Butai to appear in Zhangjiagang at this time.
In fact, the north was already corrupted by this time.
After experiencing a series of events such as Zhang Chun's rebellion, the bandits' Eastern Expedition, and the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, Mangui died in battle. All his elite troops were lost under the capital city. The entire Jizhou defense line became riddled with holes. If it weren't for Bumu Butai worked hard to maintain his position in the north, and various Mongolian tribes had already invaded the capital.
Lin Yu took Wei Zhao down from the lucky ship to help Yang Tong and the others clean up the battlefield. Next to Wei Zhao was a young man from Shaanxi. He was a dark-skinned young man who was as taciturn as Lin Yu. Lin Yu didn't know his name yet. Li Zicheng.
Bumbutai was talking to Kang Yingqian in a low voice. Lin, a tall man, took three steps at a time and crossed the corpses on the ground, came to the two of them, and interrupted their conversation:
"Horqin Khan, how is my brother Wu Xiao?"
Kang Yingqian was about to explain to Bumu Butai that Brother Lin was ignorant of etiquette. The girl Khan stretched out her hand to stop her and smiled at Lin Yu:
"A month ago, shortly after Wang Yingguan led the Kaiyuan cavalry into Shaanxi, I sent 800 cavalry to reinforce Hequ and killed 3,000 bandits in Pianguan County. After the bandits marched eastward, Shaanxi's military strength was originally small, so They should all be out of danger."
"Oh, got it."
Lin Yu nodded, as if he had never known this beautiful fifteen-year-old girl, turned around and walked towards the lucky boat docked at the pier.
Kang Yingqian was left embarrassed and speechless. Bumu Butai looked at Lin Yu's back and laughed loudly:
"We haven't seen each other for more than six years, and the big guy is still like this. He hasn't changed at all."
Bumbutai laughed twice and then stopped. Looking at the corpses piled up around the horse's hooves, he naturally remembered that Liu Zhaosun and Yang Qing'er were no longer in this world. He heard that the elder brother's other wife named Zhang was also killed. My brother is really ill-fated, even more pitiful than before Changshengtian became a god. Thinking of this, sadness once again filled Horqin Khan's heart.
Bumbutai's words aroused old man Ye's mood. He stroked his gray beard and sighed slightly:
"Yes, it has been six years. In the blink of an eye, you have grown so old. Emperor Wu Ding, Empress Yang, and Shen Baihu are all gone. More people have died in the capital. Supervisor Qiao and I are also old. .”
Hearing this, Bumbutai became even more sad. He held back the tears that were about to burst out and said to Pei Dahu, who was silent next to him:
"Brother Pei, take me to see Sister Jin. I want to talk to her."

In history, Empress Dowager Dayu'er Xiaozhuang, who cultivated an emperor for the Qing Dynasty and made outstanding contributions to the integration of nationalities in the Qing army, became one of the most loyal subordinates of Emperor Wuding in the grief-stricken early summer of the first year of Wuding. .
A few years later, various romantic affairs between Bumbutai and Emperor Wuding began to spread in the Ming Dynasty. They were full of erotic and provocative plots. Many storytelling and storybooks set this story in the 47th year of Wanli. The General Military Mansion describes the ambiguous relationship between the two in a humorous tone.
So much so that more than four hundred years later, during the Yonghe period of Qi Dynasty, some unscrupulous game designers (such as Qi Meng) directly designed Bumu Butai as Taizu's concubine in heavy-flavored VR games...
These are, of course, rumors.
At least as far as the author of this book has seen so far, before Emperor Wu Ding suddenly disappeared, the relationship between the two was still a pure brother-sister relationship.
~~~
Bumbutai looked at Jin Yuji. Back then in Kaiyuan, the two had the closest relationship and were almost like sisters.
"My condolences, sister. When I return to Mongolia, I will lead a large army to reinforce Liaodong. If Du Du rebels, I will kill him."
Jin Yuji’s eyes were dull.
Chiyoko and Liu Yue'er have been guarding the queen, fearing that she would commit suicide.
"Sister Jin, I am Bumbutai, I'm back to see you..."
She stared at the Mongolian girl for a long time.
In seven years, Bumbutai has transformed from that unruly girl who loved to hit teachers into a graceful young girl. She has just turned fourteen this year, but she is already one of the most powerful khans on the Mongolian grasslands, Emperor Wuding. After assisting Horqin in restoring his position as the overlord of the grasslands, Bumbutai has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as his suzerainty. After Liu Zhaosun proclaimed himself emperor, Bumbutai was the first to send congratulations and gifts from the surrounding foreign countries.
Jin Yuji's mouth moved and she wanted to say something. In the end, she hugged the girl and cried loudly.
~~~~~
"If the prince of Qi is willing, he can return to the grassland with us. We will regard the prince as the Khan of Heaven, and bandits and rebels will not threaten his safety."
Prince Liu Kan was only half a year old, so of course he couldn't express his agreement. Kang Yingqian hadn't seen Bumbutai for five or six years, and he regarded her as the wild girl who beat his husband everywhere in Kaiyuan City, caressing her white flowers. The beard said:
"Thank you Horqin Khan for your kindness, but there are still many affairs in Liaodong that need to be dealt with, and the prince needs to ascend the throne as soon as possible to calm people's hearts."
When Bumbutai saw that everyone was determined to return to Liaodong, it was inconvenient to persuade him to stay.

On the same day, the fleet set sail from Zhangjiagang and sailed quickly to Port Arthur. On May 10, it finally arrived in southern Liaoning. Stationed in Port Arthur was Zheng Yishi, the battalion officer of the First Guards Army, a tracker recruited by Liu Zhaosun from Zhangjiagang seven years ago. Bing, now an officer in charge of nearly a thousand people, guarded five cities in southern Liaoning for Emperor Wu Ding: Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Lushun, and Haizhou.
At Bailanzi Port in Tieshan, Lushun, Kang Yingqian met Qiao Yiqi, Wang Huazhen, Mao Yuanyi, and Ge Yewen. Before arriving in Lushun, Kang Yingqian and Pei Dahu issued strict orders not to let anyone reveal the changes in the capital, otherwise they would be executed.
So until Lao Kang and the five giants gathered in the Yamen Hall of Lushun General's Mansion, Qiao Yiqi, Wang Huazhen and others did not know that Emperor Wu Ding had disappeared. Queen Jin Yuji of the East listened behind the curtain and began to discuss where the Da Qi Dynasty would go next.
Kang Yingqian first told the three people about the big explosion in the capital. Everyone heard that the Kaiyuan Army in Guan Nei was almost completely wiped out, and their faces were all ashen. After hearing this, Qiao Yiqi refused to believe it and murmured to himself:
"Emperor Wu Ding is a lucky man and may have survived the catastrophe. I'm afraid there will be something wrong in supporting the crown prince in such a hasty manner."
"What's wrong? The city walls of Tianjin were shaken! The capital may have been razed to the ground! This is not the time to be impulsive,"
Qiao Yiqi said angrily: "When I left Beijing at the end of April, the emperor told me before leaving to gather reinforcements in Liaodong, cooperate internally and externally, and defeat the bandits. It seems like it happened yesterday. Back then, in the Saarhu and the Hun River, it was so dangerous. He is fine, and he will be fine this time, too. The emperor is one emperor throughout the ages, it is impossible for him to die! Absolutely impossible!"
At the end of the sentence, tears burst out of Qiao Yiqi's eyes and flowed down her old face.
Wang Huazhen quickly comforted Qiao Yiqi and said: "Qiao Jianjun, I know the friendship between you and Emperor Wuding as a monarch and minister, and I also know that Governor Yuan has been kind to you. Please forgive me. The emperor has spirit in heaven, and he will let us support the crown prince as soon as possible. Peace of mind.”
Qiao Yiqi pushed Wang Huazhen away, his beard trembling and said:
"You want to see the person alive, you want to see the corpse when you die! I don't agree to support the new emperor until I find Emperor Wu Ding!"
"If I hadn't been slow in my actions and wasted time on the road, so that the reinforcements could not arrive in time, the emperor would not have trapped the capital to death! I am so ashamed!"
Qiao Yiqi wailed and passed out.
The remaining people looked at each other, Kang Yingqian looked at Ge Yewen. In July of the second year of Tianqi, Ge Yewen was transferred from the governor of Denglai, Shandong, to the governor of Liaodong. During this period, he had been paying close attention to the war in the capital, coordinating the civil affairs to transport troops and grain to reinforce the pass, and witnessed with his own eyes the situation in Liaodong. All the troops were mobilized. Even if Qiao Yiqi did not tell him the "inside story" of the defense battle of the capital, this official who was born in the county magistrate could sense the great changes taking place in the pass.
"Kang Shoufu's words make sense," Ge Yewen watched Qiao Yiqi being helped out by Fujiwara Kyouji, looked up at the crowd, and continued:
"The country cannot live without a king for a day. The top priority is to support the prince to succeed him as soon as possible. The detectives of the Seventh Guards Army learned that there have been strange things in the cities of Hetuala and Yehe recently. Regardless of whether the emperor has passed away or not, we are waiting for him. Everyone must be fully prepared. This matter can no longer be concealed. If a new leader is not established as soon as possible, rumors will spread in Liaodong, and Liaodong will become even more passive."
Wang Huazhen, Mao Yuanyi, Pei Dahu, and Zheng Yishi all agreed with Ge Yewen's words. Kang Yingqian and Ge Yewen had no intersection in the past, but they were quite proud to hear that he still called him the chief assistant. In the cabinet, Kang Yingqian had been suppressed by Yang Hao, and he was most proud of the spring breeze. At that time, he was just a secondary assistant.
"Governor Ge's words are based on the advice of an old man in planning for the country. I believe that it is still necessary to send people to various places in Liaodong to mobilize reinforcements and go to Shenyang. All soldiers still stationed in Seoul must be transferred back immediately to avoid arousing Li Hui's suspicion. , just said it was a normal defense change."
When everyone heard what Kang Yingqian said, they immediately started talking.
Mao Yuanyi was surprised: "Going to Shenyang? Why not Kaiyuan? Kaiyuan Workshop School has complete forts and has popular support." Wang Huazhen waved his hand and shook his head and said: "The foundation of Daqi is Kaiyuan, and many soldiers' hometowns are in Kaiyuan. , abandoning Kaiyuan, are you looking for death?"
Kang Yingqian waited for them to finish and said helplessly:
"Why don't I know what you all said? It's just the place where the Four Battles of Kaiyuan were. Without the courage of Emperor Wu Ding, it cannot be guarded. Do you think, who among us can defend this city?"
The noisy hall just now suddenly became silent. Kang Yingqian coughed lightly and continued:
"It is impossible to occupy all of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and southern Liaoning. We must defend the four cities of Tieling, Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Gaizhou, and control the Liaohe River plain. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat..."
Wang Huazhen said in surprise: "Master Kang, do you mean that Kuandian, Qinghe, and other cities in western Liaoning are no longer wanted?"
Kang Yingqian nodded and said solemnly: "The four cities including Tieling have a population of no less than 500,000, and millions of acres of fertile farmland. Most of them are mature fields. Almost all the heartland of Liaodong is here, which is far better than the surrounding areas of Kaiyuan. The rest can be abandoned, these four cities must be controlled by us!"
Zheng Yishi frowned and said, "How to control it? At present, the troops that can be mobilized in Liaodong are less than 8,000 people. How many cities can 8,000 people hold?"
Kang Yingqian's expression suddenly turned grim and he stared at Zheng Yishi: "That's your soldiers' business. If you can't defend it, let's jump into the sea together!"
