Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 446

The Donghu War Elephant was eliminated by ten rounds of rapid fire from thousands of artillery pieces, and the Donghu army was immediately defeated.

They were truly defeated, because there was nothing that could stop the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion except war elephants.

Even the muskets and cannons they bought from the Dutch and English were of no use because muzzle-loading muskets and cannons fired so slowly.

It can be said that as long as they dare to stop and shoot or fire, it will be over. After a round of salvo, they have no chance. The overwhelming cavalry rushed up and drowned them. They didn't even have the chance to reload the ammunition again. .

Dozens of cannons and hundreds of matchlock guns are of little use to [-] cavalry, unless they have thousands of cannons and tens of thousands of matchlock guns!

This is of course impossible. It is impossible for the British and Dutch to sell them so many guns and artillery, nor can they afford so many guns and artillery.

Therefore, the more than [-] Donghu troops in the north could not stop the Daming cavalry at all. In less than half a day, they were overwhelmed by the [-] Shenwu Battalion cavalry, without even a wave of waves breaking up.

As for the more than [-] Donghu infantry on the southeast and west sides of the Siam King City, without the pontoon bridge, they can't even run, unless they jump directly into the river and swim across the rivers.

This is naturally impossible. Few rivers that are tens of feet wide can really swim across, let alone more than one.

The more than [-] infantry of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion, with the cooperation of hundreds of Spike warships, were also devastated. Facing the well-equipped Ming army, the Donghu infantry mainly with cold weapons were also vulnerable.

As good news kept coming, Taichang couldn't help but smile.

Donghu estimates that there are only 50 million people at most. After the main force of more than [-] is wiped out, they are basically finished.

At this time, there is no need to bring in more troops. The [-] Shenwu Battalion iron cavalry and more than [-] infantry are enough.

Early the next morning, he led the navy fleet and set off for New Jinling City.

Because ten sets of equipment for producing cement are still in the Longya battleship, and the cement and food they carry have not been sent to New Jinling City.

There is no need for him to take command here anymore, it is enough to have Lu Xiangsheng to command.

Anyway, it is only a matter of time before the Donghu Dynasty is cleaned up, and there is absolutely no need for him to waste time here.

At this time, the focus was still on Nanyang, especially the new Jinling City. If the King of Siam hadn't sent someone to ask for help suddenly, he would have at least completed the construction of the New Jinling City before starting to deal with the southeast problem.

Because the location of the new Jinling City is really important, as long as the Strait of Malacca is blocked, the entire Nanyang will be dominated by Ming!

When he led the naval fleet back to New Jinling City, there was still not much progress on the city wall here, but Sun Chuanting ordered people to prepare bricks and wood.

There is only a lack of cement here. With enough cement, the construction progress of the city wall should not be too fast. More than [-] Nanyang survivors and tens of thousands of infantry work together, and the city wall that is more than [-] miles long is almost visible to the naked eye. stand up.

Of course, Taichang would not wait like this, and then he ordered the navy fleet to go to Qiongzhou Mansion and brought over [-] guards.

This time the city wall was built faster.

He plans to build the walls of the new Jinling City two feet high. As for the structure of the city, he plans to follow the Jinling City as well.

Jinling City has the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Palace is to the east of Jinling City.

He plans to build a palace near the east port of New Jinling City, and the west is like the Qinhuai River, and the streets will be built according to the direction of the river.

The reason why he ordered people to build the palace here was mainly for a meeting, or a ceremony, a very important ceremony.

Sometimes, in order to show the prestige of the heaven and the kingdom, the ostentation that should be put on is still to be put on.

Time flies, and it is more than a month in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the foundation of the city wall of the New Jinling City has been completed, and only the arrow stacks, female walls, and city gate towers are left, which will be repaired slowly by [-] garrison guards.

More than [-] Nanyang survivors have gathered in the city, and they are currently building houses for themselves in the designated area in the north of the city.

As for the palace in the east of the city, Taichang specially brought in 20 infantry from the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion, and they were frantically rushing to work there.

The structure of this palace is not as complicated as the palace.

In the middle of the palace is the Huangji Hall and the Qianqing Palace, and there is no need to build other palaces.

In front of the Xinggong Palace are the Si Yamen of the Nanyang Chengxuan Envoy, the Si Yamen of the Nanyang Prosecutor, and the Si Yamen of the Nanyang Commander.

Behind them are the guards of the Jingying Camp, which are the barracks of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion. It's as simple as that.

At this moment, the majestic Huangji Hall in the middle has been built, and its external structure is similar to the Huangji Hall in the Imperial Palace in the capital, but the internal structure is quite different.

The biggest difference is that there is a huge screen wall behind the dragon chair, which is more than ten feet high and two feet wide.

At this moment, Li Zhizao, Minister of Taipusi, is standing on a special mobile platform to draw the background picture of the screen wall.

The background picture of Zhaobi is actually the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" enlarged twice.

However, according to the emperor's wishes, he changed the color tone of "The Complete Map of Kunyu and All Nations".

The main colors of this map are the sky blue representing the ocean and the bright yellow representing the Ming Dynasty. Other countries such as European countries, Western countries, America and Africa are all lines with black frames on a white background, without color.

At this moment, the territory of Ming Dynasty is very important. From the frozen North Sea in the north, the Little East Sea east of Dongying in the east, the Gobi in the Western Regions in the west, and Java in the south, almost all belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are also several vassal states of Ming Dynasty, such as North Korea, Ryukyu, Annan and Siam.

However, these vassal states are also painted bright yellow.

This means that the vassal state of Ming Dynasty is the vassal of Ming Dynasty.

If you want an opinion, that's fine.

Whoever has an opinion will be destroyed, and it will directly become the territory of Daming!
About two months later, the city wall of New Jinling City was finally completed, including the Nanyang Palace, the bastion on the island to the south, and the houses of the common people in the north of the city. The whole territory.

At this time, you can start preparing for the celebration. Taichang directly sent naval ships to various places in Nanyang and Daming to start picking up people.

He sent people to take over the kings and important officials of the vassal countries such as North Korea, Ryukyu, Annan and Siam.

He also sent people to take over important officials of the Ming court, such as the Chief Assistant of the Ming Cabinet, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Officials, and the Minister of Commerce.

Even the governor of Luzon, Spain, Carlinio, was sent by him to take over!
It took more than a month for this pick-up, and the commercial area to the west of the new Jinling City was almost built, and the naval ships picked up all the people designated by Taichang.

Immediately afterwards, a grand ceremony kicked off.

This ceremony is called the Opening Ceremony of the New Province of Ming Dynasty.

Daming is no longer two capitals and thirteen provinces, but two capitals and sixteen provinces. The three newly opened provinces are Dongyang Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, Nanyang Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and Southeast Chengxuan Political Envoy Division .

As for why Taichang held such an important ceremony, it was mainly to announce to all the dependent countries, and even to the whole world, that Ming had become the true overlord of the Far East!
This overlord of the Far East is not bragging, but genuine.

Because at this moment, the entire Far East except for the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty is the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is an exception.

The exception is the Spanish colonists entrenched in the Luzon Islands.

This is why Taichang ordered someone to take over Carlinio, the governor of Luzon, Spain.

At this time, the rubber trees were almost out of glue, and they were about to bloom and bear fruit. Daming no longer needed to rely on the little rubber sent by the Spaniards.

Therefore, Taichang decided not to pretend and had a showdown.

The Luzon Islands, including Borneo, were originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and those who are sensible will honestly return them to Daming!
