The capital of the Jin Empire was located in a mountain basin surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains and the Gisar-Alai Mountains. This mountain basin was originally called Fergana Valley. After it was conquered by the Jin Empire that moved westward, it was renamed Wuji Valley and became the fundamental place of the Jin Empire. Bagua City, the capital of the Jin Empire, is located on the banks of the Syr Darya River in the basin.
If you look down from the air, you will find that the walls of this Bagua City look like a giant Bagua map composed of acquired Bagua and innate Bagua.
The outer city of Bagua City is called Houtian City, and eight sets of walls were built according to the shape of Houtian Bagua. Each group consists of several sections of city walls arranged in different ways, all corresponding to a hexagram in the acquired gossip. Each set of city walls is also a fortress that can be maintained independently. It is surrounded by sections of trenches that are not connected. The city walls are built to be short and thick. The side facing the outside of the city has an inclination of about 60 degrees. It has extremely strong anti-gun function. Between each two sets of walls is a city gate. It is said to be a city gate, but in fact there is no gate, nor any doorway or gate tower, just gaps everywhere. Sections of trenches were dug outside the gap - in order to facilitate the entry and exit of people, these trenches were not dug into a whole line, but into sections. It is very convenient to get in and out at ordinary times. When fighting, it is blocked with horse guns and sandbags, and cannons and machine guns are mounted. It is much easier to use than the city gate tower.
The inner city of Bagua City is called Xiantian City, and its layout and fortification are similar to those of Houtian City. And inside Xiantian City, it is the bustling and lively street in the entire Central Asia region, and it is also the most fairy-like street. Half of the pedestrians on the street were wearing Manchurian flags, and the men among them all had thick and long braids, while the other half were dressed as Taoist cultivators. Both men and women wore Taoist robes and tied their hair. With her hair in a bun, a long sword on her shoulder, and a fly whisk in her hand, she looked like a person in the immortal way.
If someone traveled directly to this Bagua City and saw the "immortals" filling the streets, they would think they had traveled to a world where they could cultivate immortality!
What's even more amazing is that most of the "immortals" and mortals on the streets are a mixture of East Asian Mongoloid and Central Asian Hu people. Some of the "female nuns" are also fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs. They are also quite tall. Eye-catching scenery.
Occasionally, horse teams pass by on the street. The knights on horseback all have arrow sleeves and long braids, and there are triangular identification flags with the word "electricity" stuck on their backs. When the bells on the horse's hooves ring, all the "immortal" mortals on the street will automatically move aside. Everyone knows that this is the Shibali Express of the Telegraph Office of the General Affairs Department of the imperial court, and the news is delivered between Taiji Palace in Bagua City and the Shibalipu Telegraph Office outside the city. What they were passing on were military planes, no, they were secrets and important events. Anyone who stood in their way and missed the secrets would be worthy of death.
Why is this telegraph office located eighteen miles outside Bagua City?
This is of course because telephone poles and wires will damage the Feng Shui of Bagua City!
This Jin Empire believes very much in divination, divination, and feng shui... The facts are in front of them, but they can't help but not believe it. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to recover from a desperate situation was because Zhuge Zhongshan was able to figure things out? The reason why the Jin Empire was able to create another situation in Central Asia and still continue to this day was because Zhuge Daxian calculated it with his fingers.
In the Jin Empire, almost everyone knows the allusion of Zhuge Daxian observing the sky at night to predict the Jin Kingdom. It is said that when Zhuge Immortal led his troops to the west for the last time, he had already arrived in Yili. Suddenly he fell ill and felt that his time was running out, so he asked his apprentice Nalan Mingzhu to push him out in a cart to watch the sky at night. After watching for half a night and calculating for another half a night, I finally came to the conclusion that "the purity has been exhausted but the gold remains."
In other words, Daqing's Qi has been exhausted, but Houjin's Qi has not yet been exhausted. According to Zhuge Daxian's careful calculations, if the Qing Dynasty changed the country's name back to Jin, then Kangxi would be able to establish the Jin Kingdom in Central Asia, and then eight more emperors could be passed down. Even the year titles and emperors' names have been calculated...that is, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong, etc.
Nalan Mingzhu, who had an insight into the secret of heaven, expected that his mentor King Zhuge Wuzhong was going to kill him and silence him, so he immediately ran away to the Kangxi-Galdan coalition forces stationed on the bank of the Chu River at that time and told the secret of the secret. Kangxi. Kangxi made a prompt decision and changed the name of the country to Jin. At the same time, he passed down an edict. According to the results calculated by Zhuge Immortal, he determined the reign and names of the eight generations of Jin emperors... In other words, no matter what When the masters win the throne, they must change their names to Yinzhen and Yuan Yongzheng! This is a secret calculated by the Great Immortal. If you don't change it according to it, it will be against heaven.
After this change, Kangxi soon received the news that King Zhuge Wuzhong had died in the army.
Once King Zhuge Wuzhong died, the Ming Dynasty no longer had the energy to conquer Central Asia westward. However, Kangxi and Galdan did not dare to think about conquering the Ming Dynasty, but joined forces to march towards Central Asia. The armies of Kangxi and Galdan were all veterans who had fought with King Zhuge Wuzhong for many years, and under the strong pressure of their opponents, they had also completed upgrades. They could line up to shoot, wall charge, and cannon rifle. Riding synergy, and the skills of archery, horse riding and archery are not left behind. The combat effectiveness of these armies is simply not comparable to that of the Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, and Kazakh Khanate in Central Asia. Therefore, Kangxi and Galdan's joint campaign to sweep Central Asia went very smoothly. The only accident was that Galdan bumped into a group of Cossacks who didn't know where they came from while hunting on the Kazakh grassland, and was shot to death randomly!
After Galdan's death, Kangxi generously took over the children and tribes of his wives, concubines, and tribes. After that, he settled down, chose Wuji Valley as the capital, and began to promote Taoism and fortune-telling.
I don’t know if it’s because fortune telling is relatively accurate, but the Jin Empire has entered a fairly stable era after establishing its capital in Wuji Valley. Although there were several anti-Jin uprisings launched by Central Asian Tianfang believers during this period, they all failed miserably under the suppression of the Jin Empire's troops armed with guns and artillery. The two powerful neighbors, Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa, also formed a tacit understanding because they were afraid of each other, and neither of them touched the Jin Empire. Therefore, the life of the Jin Empire was relatively stable, and the situation was passed to the fifth generation king of the Jin Empire (counting from Kangxi) Daoguang.
Daoguang is over forty years old this year. When he was young, he was a bit immortal, but as he got older, he became fatter and fatter. He was so fat that he almost turned into a ball of flesh. He didn't look like a Taoist god. , more like a fat Maitreya. However, this fat Maitreya always has a gloomy look, and his smiling face is rarely seen. He seems to be a Maitreya suffering from depression.
What makes this fat Daoguang depressed is the word "poor". The Golden Empire had little money when it was passed to him. The treasury was empty and taxes were insufficient. However, the state's expenditures were increasing due to the military reforms after the Napoleonic Wars. At the end of the reign of Emperor Ama Jiaqing, the court was losing millions of taels of silver every year... When he became emperor, the secret ministers Heshen, Tuojin, Wenfu, and Sai Chong'a offered him The account books of the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all filled with "red letters"!
His heart dropped when he saw it... With such a loss, could the Jin Empire be passed down to Xuantong for another four generations?
So after he took over as the emperor, he began to do everything possible to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, hoping to replenish the treasury of the Golden Empire.
However, it is easy to reduce expenditures, which is nothing more than the word "saving", but it is difficult to increase revenue...
In the dimly lit Wuji Hall, Emperor Daoguang was sitting alone behind the imperial desk, doing divination. Of course, he was also a fortune teller, and his calculations were quite accurate! At this moment, he was listless, with his big head propped up, looking at the three copper coins on the table used to shake the hexagram, and said to himself: "Why is it another sleepy hexagram? Is it true that I, Dajin, am going to die of sleepiness?" Can’t we succeed in the barren land of the Western Region? How should we solve this big gold dilemma?”
When Emperor Daoguang was racking his brains to solve the problem, the voice of his most trusted minister of secrets, Mu Zhang'a, suddenly came to his ears: "Your Majesty, my servant Mu Zhang'a, please see me."
Daoguang raised his head and looked at the dim door of Wuji Hall, and vaguely saw a figure standing there - it was dark now, Daoguang was not willing to light many oil lamps, and there was no electricity in Bagua City.
"Is it Mu Zhang? Come here quickly." Daoguang couldn't see the person clearly, but he still called the person forward, not worried about the assassin at all. Because he would do a divination every morning when he got up to see if there would be any bloody disaster... Today's divination showed that he was very safe. And his prediction of this hexagram was obviously very accurate. The man who walked up to him was indeed Mu Zhang'a, who had the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat.
Mu Zhang'a held a bright yellow box in his hand, which was used to store memorials.
"Your Majesty, this is the electronic music sent from He Zhongtang from Petersburg." After Mu Zhang'a saluted, he handed the bright yellow box to Daoguang with both hands.
"Heshen's electronic music?" Daoguang asked, "Has he negotiated a deal with the Rakshasa people to introduce the Suvorov rifle production line?"
It turns out that Heshen went to Petersburg to introduce the Rakshasa breech-loading rifle - not the Mosin-Nagant rifle, but the Suvorov rifle, because this type of rifle was produced before the Napoleonic Wars, and the Suvorov rifle After the marshal made suggestions to Catherine II, Ming technology was introduced for design and production. Although the accuracy of this type of rifle is slightly poor, it is sturdy and durable, does not require too much maintenance, and does not pick bullets. It is very suitable for the national conditions of the Golden Empire. And the production cost is relatively low! Therefore, Emperor Daoguang liked it very much. When the Army of the Jin Empire had to change its breech-loading rifles, he did not hesitate to choose the Suvorov rifle, and asked his subordinate He Zhongtang, who was the best bargainer, to go to Petersburg to negotiate for the introduction.
"When I get back to the emperor, He Zhongtang has already negotiated a contract with the new Tsar Nicholas I to introduce the Suvorov rifle production line... The contract totals one million taels of silver!"
When he heard that it would cost one million taels of silver, Fat Emperor Daoguang immediately felt pain in his face.
Mu Zhang'a knew that the emperor was stingy, and although the money had to be spent, he would still nag him for a long time. So he quickly changed the topic and said: "In addition, He Zhongtang has a happy event to report."
"A happy event?" Daoguang asked, "What happy event?"
"Your Majesty, he made friends with a prodigy from the Zhuge family of the Ming Dynasty in Petersburg." Mu Zhang'a said with a smile.
"Oh," Daoguang sounded a little disappointed, "Didn't he also become sworn friends with Zhuge Youde back then, and didn't he figure out nothing in the end?"
"This is different," Mu Zhang'a said. "This Zhuge was hit in the head by a stray bullet during the Petersburg Rebellion. His brain was injured and he was a little confused."
"A confused Zhuge?" Daoguang frowned, "What's the use of making friends with him?"
Mu Zhang'a smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the telegram from He Zhongtang said that although this Zhuge is confused, his talent is still there... and he will most likely be ranked in the Military Academy in the future!"
"Really?" Emperor Daoguang suddenly became more energetic and said to himself, "If we can take the opportunity to obtain the secrets of the Zhuge family, I, Dajin, may be able to get rid of the predicament!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Mu Zhang'a said with a smile, "The opportunity is coming soon!"
"What opportunity?" Daoguang asked.
Mu Zhang'a said: "Your Majesty, the telegram from He Zhongtang said that this confused Zhuge wanted to escort a female grand duke of the Rakshasa Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty, and would pass by our Kingdom of Jin! Your Majesty, this opportunity is rare!"
