Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 885 Prepare for the Royal Conquest Again
Zhu Youjian slowly stood up from the dragon chair, and a majestic murderous aura suddenly exuded from his whole body.

His eyes swept over the officials:

"Didn't you say that the Western Regions are a place of bitter cold and worthless? Then tell me, why is there a country desperately fighting for a place of bitter cold?

I have already received the battle report myself that the Raksha Kingdom and the Kazakh Khanate have jointly invaded the Ili River Valley. Their goal is to occupy the Western Regions, and then gradually erode our Ming territory from the Western Regions. "

Zhu Youjian's words immediately stunned those civil servants who suggested giving up the Western Regions:
"This...how is this possible...Da Ming is now so strong that even if he wants to fight, he can't find an excuse or an opponent, yet there is still a country that dares to compete with Da Ming for the Western Regions?"

Zhu Youjian ignored them and continued:

"In the previous dynasties of the Central Plains before the Ming Dynasty, most of the alien races who invaded China came from the Western Regions, the North and the Far Northeast, and few threatened from the sea, and even less from the South.

Otherwise, why did Emperor Yongle make several Northern Expeditions, and finally drove the crane west on the way of the Northern Expedition.

I decided to take advantage of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and for the safety of China's northwest and northern borders once and for all, I will once again lead a personal conquest. "

The ministers all know the history. Although they don't know the situation of later generations, they are still very clear about the Central Plains Dynasty being invaded by aliens many times.

Militarism does not only refer to the Warring States Period, when a certain vassal state vigorously developed its military strength in order to survive, but also refers to the threat of ethnic minorities on the border of ancient Chinese dynasties.

So why are border minorities militaristic?In fact, this is similar to snake activities.

In fact, snakes are naturally weak in nature. In order to adapt to survival, they can only abandon the upper limbs of the body and strengthen the bite force and venom of the head.

If a snake is taken first, then the species cannot escape death, and therefore, snakes often preemptively strike.

However, the border countries of the ancient Central Plains dynasty were actually very weak in comprehensive strength, but their neighbors were the Central Plains dynasty with extremely terrifying comprehensive strength and potential strength.

If the Central Plains dynasties are left alone and each develops their own, the final result will be the destruction of the weaker side.

Therefore, the northern, western, and southern nations around the Central Plains Dynasty will continue to harass the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is to take an active attitude to prevent the prosperity of the Central Plains Dynasty; they not only pose a great threat to the security and development of the Central Plains Dynasty, but have also entered the Central Plains many times.

For example, the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, the Xianbei in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Shatuo in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Dangxiang clan in the Western Xia Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, the Khitan in the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen in the Jin Dynasty, and the Mongolian people who established the Yuan Empire. Manchu and so on.

However, the threat of foreign races in the south to the Central Plains Dynasty can be said to be almost non-existent.

The southern peoples have two characteristics, one is barbarians, and the other is uncivilized; the southern peoples based on tribes basically use the rainforest terrain to protect themselves, and they do not pose any serious threats.

The period when there was a serious threat was when Zhao Tuo of the Qin Dynasty conquered South Vietnam and used Chinese civilization to govern South Vietnam.

Only when the people from the Central Plains occupy it can it really pose a threat; at other times, the people here basically do not invade, and the desire to conquer is not strong, and they have no great ambitions. It is a typical wild and uncivilized land; Economic strength is weaker.

During the Han Dynasty, the tribal economy of the southern ethnic groups in South Vietnam, Yunnan, Guangxi, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was not as good as that of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention the invasion of the Central Plains Dynasty, if you dare to fight, you will die. Therefore, the threat to the Central Plains from the south is minimal, and it can only be regarded as a good place for the Central Plains Dynasty to gather wool.

Hearing that the emperor wanted to conquest again for the sake of the small Kazakh Khanate and the Raksha Kingdom, the officials hurried forward and knelt down:
"Your Majesty can't. The Ming army is strong and horses are strong. Your Majesty can sweep away those small countries as long as you send troops. You don't have to go to those bitter cold places to suffer. Please take your Majesty back."

Corrupt officials have been killed long ago. Although there are still some civil officials who have some opinions on military generals, they all have different political opinions.

Now the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all loyal ministers, both civil servants and military generals hope that the emperor will live a long life.

Just kidding, if something goes wrong with the emperor's personal conquest, the prosperous Ming Dynasty that has just entered will repeat the same mistakes.

But Zhu Youjian's thinking is different from theirs. After all, he is an open emperor, and he knows the situation of the Western Regions and Raksha Kingdom very well.

Because it is relatively cold, once the spring permafrost begins to melt, there is no way to go.

The expedition of the Ming army must carry a large amount of military supplies, and it will be very difficult to walk, not to mention fighting.

It would be completely different if he personally marched in person. His system warehouse can completely solve this problem. Without the problem of logistics support, the Ming army can end the Western Expedition and Northern Expedition faster.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"I can understand your feelings, but I've made up my mind, let's all get back together!"

Seeing that the emperor's tone was very firm, the officials had no choice but to thank Enping:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian returned to the dragon seat, looked at Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong and said:
"I've given you an imperial decree. The Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War immediately send people to Dongying Province, Central South Province, Annan Province, and Nanhai Province to recruit troops. The number of soldiers is 20. Now it's their turn to contribute to Ming Dynasty."

The two hurriedly received the decree:

"Follow the order, Your Majesty is holy!"

Is Zhu Youjian Shengming?Of course Shengming!Non-my family, its heart must be different!

The Western Regions, Central Asia, and Rakshasa are so big that it is impossible to transfer all the Ming troops there, and the source of troops is just enough to use them.

To put it bluntly, let them make contributions to Daming, but in fact they are just cannon fodder. Zhu Youjian's move is absolutely ruthless!
After the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War received the decree, Zhu Youjian looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households:
"The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry must pay close attention to lifting and transporting military rations and military supplies, and must ensure the logistics supplies of the army, especially thick cotton clothes and trousers and leather boots and gloves."

The Ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Households hurried forward to salute:

"According to the order!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Song Yingxing of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau again:
"Song Aiqing, is there any new weapon in the arsenal recently? Is the light machine gun I asked them to make complete?"

Last time the system rewarded ten light machine guns, Zhu Youjian immediately asked Cao Zhengchun to send them to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau for Zhao Shizhen and the others to study.

The Ming Dynasty Weapons Manufacturing Bureau made all the guns themselves. If there are samples and craftsmanship↓, light machine guns can of course be produced.

The Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is affiliated to the Royal Academy of Sciences. They generally don't go to court, and they are all working hard to develop new weapons.

It was also a rare time for Zhao Shizhen to go to court today. Hearing the emperor's question, Song Yingxing hurried forward to salute:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, [-] light machine guns have been manufactured, and the supporting bullets are all generated by ourselves. Maokang bullets can also be disassembled and transported now. Hydrogen balloons have also been manufactured [-]...
