This was a political marriage. For the eldest son, marrying Tang Tong was due to the needs of the family. For Tang Tong, this marriage was due to his status as the eldest son. He did not want the Chongzhen Emperor's family to end up in a miserable situation. Tang Tong's mentality did not make him a qualified politician, but in his position, the entire East Asia and the Middle Earth belonged to him, and all his subordinates were brought up by him. No one could go against his ideas, so he was the sky of this country.

Tang Tong is now surrounded by many beauties, and the beauty of the eldest lady cannot stand out among the women around him. Tang Tong is more out of sympathy. However, when Tang Tong lifted the veil of the eldest lady, he still couldn't help but be amazed. Not to mention that the night was short, on the next day, Tang Tong took the eldest lady to meet Queen Zhou and others.

Tang Tong himself had no elders. Although there were other members of the Tang family, they were all distant relatives and could not be considered elders of Tang Tong, who had already become the emperor. Therefore, it was acceptable in terms of etiquette for Tang Tong to bring his eldest concubines to visit Empress Zhou and others on the first day, and it also gave Emperor Chongzhen's family a reassurance. Of course, if Tang Tong went to visit Empress Zhou and others as the emperor, it would not be in line with the so-called royal etiquette. It was precisely because Tang Tong was an ordinary person that his respect for Emperor Chongzhen's family made Empress Zhou and others feel at ease.

Although Queen Zhou had been mentally prepared for the change of dynasties a long time ago, she was still unable to face it when it came. The most important thing was that the latter dynasty usually killed all the people in the previous dynasty. It can be said that it was a blessing for Queen Zhou and others in the Ming Dynasty to meet someone like Tang Tong.

In the end, Tang Tong established three queens, one was Chang Yizhu, one was Chen Yuxian, and the other was Hong Niangzi. In front of all the ministers, Tang Tong had no choice but to do so, but it was not against any etiquette. He was the emperor, and there was a precedent of establishing three queens in ancient times. Tang Tong was not the first to do so.

Tang Tong's founding ceremony and his wedding with Chang Yizhu were attended by people from all over the country. This grand occasion opened the eyes of many Westerners who came to watch the ceremony. They were in the West, which had just begun to move from ignorance to civilization. They had never seen such a scene, let alone so many people attending a wedding.

After Tang Tong founded the country, he spent three decades vigorously developing the country's economy. Finally, under Tang Tong's strong advocacy, the steam engine was finally successful and began to be equipped on warships. Tang Tong's superiors instructed to vigorously develop the navy in order to enable this nation to stand tall in the world in the next few hundred years. At the same time, through three years of recuperation, the strength of the entire country was greatly improved. Four months after the founding of the country, Tang Tong began his expedition to Europe.

The army was divided into two parts. One part was composed of cavalry from several tribes, and they fought on land. The other part started from West Asia by sea. The first thing they conquered was the Ottoman Empire. In the face of the powerful military force under Donald Trump, the already weakened Ottoman Empire quickly collapsed. At this time, Britain was entering the period of capitalist movement. This capitalist revolution in Britain did not disappear because of Cromwell's death, and still took place as scheduled.

When Tang Tong's armored warships appeared in the British Isles, the whole of Europe was shocked. For a time, all Western countries had a feeling of crying wolf, so all countries gave up their previous grievances and united to resist Tang Tong's forces. The land cavalry in the expeditionary force did not progress very smoothly. The most powerful Jurchen Mongolian cavalry of this era clashed with the Cossack cavalry. Since Tang Tong's army was much more advanced than the Cossack cavalry in weapons and equipment and logistics, the situation on the battlefield eventually tilted towards Tang Tong's side. With the demise of the Cossack cavalry, Europe no longer had any force that could resist Tang Tong's attack. Although Russia, France and others were all powerful countries on land, in the face of Tang Tong's plundering war that was not for the purpose of occupation, hundreds of thousands of troops were gradually consumed. After Britain surrendered, France and other countries also surrendered one after another.

In this expeditionary war, the great achievements made by commanders such as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong have become legends that have been passed down by people in later generations. Although this war lasted for several days, it did not consume many of Tang Tong's men and financial resources. On the contrary, due to the large-scale looting, the merchants of the entire Chinese country grew stronger and stronger, and the system that Tang Tong hoped for had a large number of basic classes. However, because Tang Tong was the founding monarch of this country, the constitutional monarchy was not realized in Tang Tong's generation.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang Tong began to look a little old. The situation of a country is not so easy to deal with. Being a good emperor is by no means an easy task. People with Tang Tong's personality actually do not like ruling, but once you sit in this position, it is impossible for you to step down. This is not a question of willingness, but once you stand in this position, the lives and interests of many people are connected with Tang Tong, and Tang Tong cannot step down.

After a storm, the weather was still not very hot at the beginning of summer. Yuan'er stood in front of the waterside pavilion of Xunhe Courtyard, looking at the fish in the water with some boredom: "Xiaoyingzi, tell me, has my uncle not come to see me for a long time?"

Xiao Yingzi was a palace maid who served Yuan'er. After Tang Tong established the country, he did not live in the Forbidden City, but built a small palace. At that time, the original palace of the Ming Dynasty was still inhabited by Queen Zhou and others. Yuan'er is now not young anymore, but she has never married. Although there are many young talents in the country who pursue her, Yuan'er has never married. For this reason, her mother Chen Yuxian is also very anxious.
