Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, came from a poor background and built his empire step by step from nothing. It's unfair to say that he lacked vision and ambition.

He wouldn't have reached his current position then.

After Zhu Ying's explanation, he deeply understood what kind of changes this steam engine could bring to the Ming Dynasty—no, it should be said to be a leapfrog transformation.

Steam trains that travel thousands of miles a day.

It increased the efficiency of steam textiles by ten times, or even dozens of times.

Steamships and warships improved navigation, enabling them to travel thousands of miles a day at sea.

Just think about it.

Then we would know what this steam engine would bring to the Ming Dynasty.

now!

It was also because the implementation of other national policies of the Ming Dynasty required money; otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang might have used 70-80% of the national treasury silver to develop this steam engine.

This is the future of the Ming Dynasty.

…………

The invention of the steam engine.

It has not yet affected the Ming Dynasty, and only a few people know about it now.

However, with the issuance of an imperial edict by Zhu Yuanzhang, 60% of the national treasury's silver reserves were mobilized to build workshops, located outside Yingtian City, within the Imperial Guard camp.

For a while.

This also worried Yu Xin of the Ministry of Revenue. However, after leaving Wenyuan Pavilion, Yu Xin was also shocked and eventually gave his full support to build the workshop.

Inside the Imperial Guard camp.

The place where the dinosaurs were kept.

Six months have passed.

The Ming army, having entered the [prehistoric world], has completely established itself.

Besides giant crossbows, ballistae, and other cold weapons powerful enough to threaten dinosaurs.

They even mobilized three hundred red-coated cannons into this world, with ample ammunition and a gradually increasing troop strength.

After all, even in the concrete strongholds built by the Ming Dynasty, those dinosaurs were still a threat, because they came not only from the land, but also from the sky.

But the good thing is.

They eventually gained a foothold and successfully began hunting and capturing dinosaurs. The Imperial Guard camp now houses more than five hundred dinosaurs of all kinds.

Carnivorous.

Herbivorous.

The armies of this prehistoric world also learned a lesson: those creatures with particularly ferocious appearances were carnivorous dragons, extremely savage, and would attack on their own initiative.

However, those that look a little more docile can even be approached on their own initiative and will not attack.

now.

Inside the Imperial Guard camp.

The concrete cages, some ten meters or more than twenty meters long, were almost entirely occupied by dinosaurs.

There were even cages specifically designed for pterosaurs, covered with various chains to prevent them from escaping.

"Hoo...ho..."

from time to time.

The place where the dinosaurs were imprisoned emitted bursts of roars.

There were Tyrannosaurus Rex and various carnivorous dinosaurs, while the docile herbivorous dinosaurs appeared extremely terrified in the face of these roars.

high places.

On top of the watchtower.

Each cage for the dinosaurs had four watchtowers, each guarded by five soldiers, and each also had movable ballistae, all loaded with giant bolts.

If a dinosaur were to actually escape from its cage, arrows would be fired directly from the surrounding watchtowers, killing it instantly.

This was the Imperial Guard's strategy for dealing with dinosaurs.

We absolutely cannot let them escape, otherwise it will be a disaster for others, with extremely strong destructive power.

And the watchtower at the highest point.

"Your Highness."

"According to the habits of these dinosaurs, they are carnivorous, and we have prepared a sufficient supply of meat for them every day."

"These guys aren't picky; they'll eat any kind of meat, regardless of whether it's pork or lamb."

"For herbivores, it's even simpler; they can just go to the other world, harvest some, and bring it back."

"However, these guys consume a lot of meat. If His Highness hadn't allocated enough money, we really wouldn't have been able to get so much meat. They eat better than us."

Zhu Ying stood on the watchtower, taking in all the dinosaurs imprisoned below.

Guo Zhen personally accompanied him.

now.

The defense of the palace was no longer his primary responsibility; the defense of the Imperial Guard camp was.

Therefore, he remained stationed in the military camp, and if he handled the matter well, it would surely be a great achievement in the future.

"You rascal, are you being treated poorly by the army's food?" Zhu Ying glanced at him and said irritably.

Since he took office.

The army not only received increased pay, but also a rule that they must have meat every three days.

Compared to before.

Nowadays, the treatment of soldiers in the military is more than ten times better.

"Hehe." Guo Zhen chuckled awkwardly, then said, "It's just that these beasts have a big appetite. I'm a little sad. The food in the army is really good now."

Zhu Ying didn't bother to say anything more and his gaze fell directly on a pterosaur below.

Subsequently.

Walk straight up to them.

"Your Highness, if you require any particular dragon, I will have it brought to you immediately."

“The brothers are now quite adept at controlling them,” Guo Zhen said immediately.

"No need."

Zhu Yingyi waved his hand.

Then he jumped.

As if leaping through the air, it fell several feet directly, landing on the prison wall where the pterosaur was imprisoned.

"Your Highness's martial arts cultivation is truly terrifying."

Watching Zhu Ying display his lightness skill.

Guo Zhen's eyes were filled with awe.

The same was true for the guards on the watchtower.

Six months ago, they might have been completely baffled by Zhu Ying's actions, but things are different now.

Royal Guards.

Main combat force.

They have already passed down the methods of martial arts cultivation. Although it is not internal cultivation, but physical cultivation that cultivates strength and physique, they can still understand the power of martial arts.

Now, Guo Zhen and the Imperial Guards have all entered the basics of martial arts and body cultivation. Under the effect of the Bone Forging Powder, they are basically all at the first level of Body Refinement and are aware of the advantages and disadvantages of martial arts.

"Roar."

The pterosaurs in the prison below spotted Zhu Ying high above and let out a series of roars.

Although it wasn't as terrifying as those large land dinosaurs, it still exuded a kind of ferocity.

"I hope the communication power of this Heart-Eating Gu won't disappoint me," Zhu Ying said with a hint of anticipation.

Subsequently.

He jumped directly from the high wall into the prison.

The pterosaur in front of him saw Zhu Ying enter and its eyes gleamed with ferocity and bloodlust. Although it was chained up and couldn't fly, it was still a very large creature and pounced on Zhu Ying, its huge mouth tearing at him.

"Behave yourself."

Without hesitation, Zhu Ying waved his hand, unleashing a surge of powerful Nine Yang internal energy.

It landed directly on the pterosaur charging towards it.

boom!
The internal force was pressed down.

The pterosaur, which had been flapping its wings, was instantly pinned to the ground.

As Zhu Ying said, these dinosaurs were indeed huge and possessed extremely terrifying strength, but they were still flesh and blood, and were not invulnerable to weapons.

Moreover, with Zhu Ying's full attributes, he could easily kill any dinosaur.

The same applies to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the strongest land animal.

They can be killed easily.

With Zhu Ying's immense internal strength, it would be even easier.

"Killing you would be an easy task."

"However, I now need to use you as an experiment."

Zhu Ying raised his hand, and his powerful internal force suppressed the pterosaur, rendering it unable to move. It could only let out a series of fierce roars, trying to scare Zhu Ying away.

But Zhu Ying stepped forward step by step.

When we got close to the pterosaur...

A pill shimmering with a faint glow appeared in his hand.

This was refined by Zhu Ying using the offspring worms that differentiated after advancing to the first level of the Heart-Eating Gu. It was more powerful than the one used to control those Tartar nobles, and it also possessed the power of telepathy, allowing communication through the Heart-Eating Gu.

Zhu Ying raised his left hand, redirected his internal energy again, and as the pterosaur roared and opened its mouth, he directly threw the pill into its mouth.

It's also at this time!
The moment the elixir entered his body.

Dissolving directly, the Heart-Eating Gu worms also quickly headed towards the pterosaur's heart and took root.

"Did you hear my voice?" The moment the Heart-Eating Gu successfully took root, Zhu Ying immediately used the mother insect as a base and conveyed a voice to the pterosaur with his spiritual power.

"what sound?"

Just after Zhu Ying finished speaking, a surprised and puzzled voice entered Zhu Ying's mind. It couldn't be called a voice, but rather a communication of thoughts.

"I am right here in front of you."

Zhu Ying relayed another message.

"You can speak my language?" The pterosaur opened its eyes wide and stared intently at Zhu Ying.

Although it does not possess the true intelligence of humans, the fact that it can communicate proves that it still has some intelligence. Even wild beasts have intelligence; they just cannot communicate.

What Zhu Ying is doing now is to use this Heart-Eating Gu as a basis to communicate with it.

"it is good."

"The communication problem can be solved with this Gu worm."

"Next, there's the issue of domestication."

"This Heart-Eating Gu can do the same."

Seeing that he could actually communicate with the pterosaur, Zhu Ying smiled.

immediately.

Zhu Ying spoke again: "I want you to obey me from now on. Can you do that?"

But after saying that one sentence...

"A tiny insect."

"I'm going to eat you," the pterosaur transmitted its will.

See this.

Zhu Ying didn't waste any words and directly manipulated the Gu worms.

The Heart-Eating Gu Worm began to tear at the dinosaur's heart.

"It hurts... oh... it hurts so much..."

The pterosaur began to let out a painful hiss, not a human voice, but through the connection of the Heart-Eating Gu, Zhu Ying accurately understood what the pterosaur was trying to say.

But Zhu Ying did not stop.

Let this Heart-Eating Gu continue to cause this pterosaur pain.

This guy is much harder to deal with than a human.

Fortunately, the Heart-Eating Gu advanced to the next level this time; otherwise, the previously differentiated offspring might not have been able to cause these dinosaurs much pain and would have been able to hold on.

After continuing for a while.

"Listen to me, or I'll make you suffer to death, and then I'll eat your flesh." Zhu Ying conveyed this message once again.

After this period of suffering...

Even though this pterosaur doesn't have high intelligence, it still knows pain and fear.

The message conveyed was already one of agreement: "I'll listen, I'll obey."

Hear this!

Zhu Ying's brows also showed a hint of joy.

here.

It became.

The Ming Dynasty's dinosaur army is about to be formed.

Let me tell you more clearly.

"You already have the worms I planted inside you. If you dare to have any ill intentions towards me, they will devour your heart and cause you to die in agony."

"And every so often, you have to eat the special stuff I give you to suppress the worm, otherwise you'll die too."

Before releasing the pterosaur, Zhu Ying added again.

of course.

All of this is conveyed through thought, not through words.

Through the Heart-Eating Gu.

Zhu Ying could hear the pterosaur's inner thoughts, and it could understand Zhu Ying's meaning.

now.

The pterosaur looked at Zhu Ying with eyes full of fear, as if it had seen its natural enemy; it was clearly terrified.

Subsequently.

Zhu Yingrang stopped the Heart-Eating Gu from biting and also withdrew his internal energy.

I stood right in front of the pterosaur, seemingly giving it a chance to see if it would attack.

But this time, the pterosaur seemed genuinely afraid, and dared not open its mouth to attack Zhu Ying, who was so close at hand.

"very good."

Zhu Ying smiled, quite satisfied.

really.

Whether it's a human or a beast, as long as communication is possible, then it's worth talking.

"Lower your body," Zhu Ying relayed the order.

The pterosaur obediently did as instructed and climbed down.

Zhu Ying stepped directly onto the pterosaur's head and stood on its north side.

Although this pterosaur was not the largest Quetzalcoatlus, it was still larger than a tiger, and a person could easily stand on its back.

"Your Highness, it's a success."

"They really tamed this dinosaur."

"The first step in domesticating dinosaurs into an army has been completed."

Guo Zhen looked at Zhu Ying, who was already standing on the pterosaur, with deep admiration and aspirations for the future in his eyes.

How ferocious were dinosaurs?

The Imperial Guards who had been stationed in the military camp knew this clearly, and they also knew how powerful the forces were.

Once they can be trained into an army.

Then the Ming army would be a truly invincible army.

On the watchtower, all the Imperial Guard soldiers watched with fervent devotion, as if they were looking at their god.

"Fly me to the sky."

Zhu Ying issued another order.

There's something blocking the way.

"It can't fly," the pterosaur replied with a hint of ignorance.

Zhu Ying smiled and directly drew the Ling Shuang sword from his waist.

A sword aura slashed out from the sky.

There was a roar.

The sword energy slashed through.

The iron chain overhead was snapped in two and scattered.

The path that had been blocking the pterosaur's flight was now open.

Seeing the pterosaur cleave the iron cage in mid-air, its eyes showed surprise, clearly puzzled.

Why did the chain suddenly break?

"Fly," Zhu Ying ordered again.

And the pterosaur no longer hesitated, driven by its desire for freedom.

It spread its wings and flapped them sharply, creating a gust of wind that stirred up dust.

Suddenly.

The pterosaur soared straight into the sky and flew upwards.

If it were an ordinary person, without reins and a point of leverage, they would be thrown off instantly, but Zhu Ying stood steadily on the pterosaur's back without any problem at all.

soon.

The pterosaur then flew high into the sky.

Soar through the sky.

"Above the sky".

"This is the first time I've ever actually flown up here."

Standing atop the pterosaur, looking down, the entire city of Yingtian unfolds before your eyes.

now.

The pterosaur had already flown to a height of one or two hundred meters. At that height, if it were to fall, Zhu Ying would have to do everything in his power to avoid being injured.

"Oh, the heavens."

"A martial arts grandmaster can truly fly through the air."

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."

"But now."

"The path of domestication has begun."

"The dinosaur army of my Great Ming Dynasty can now be mobilized."

“Even the Wing Loong Air Force can do it.”

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Ying couldn't help but burst into laughter.
