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

Soaring high in the sky.

A bird's-eye view of Yingtian City from high above.

It truly offers a panoramic view of the entire capital, as if one has the whole world at their fingertips.

This feeling.

It's truly hard to describe.

Although Zhu Ying was not flying using his own power, he was still experiencing the feeling of flying at this moment.

After continuing for a while.

Zhu Ying ordered the pterosaur to land back in the Imperial Guard camp.

"Your Highness has succeeded."

Guo Zhen immediately came to Zhu Ying's side, looking at the pterosaur at Zhu Ying's feet with awe in his eyes.

"Success."

Zhu Ying smiled with delight, then looked at Guo Zhen and said, "From today onwards, we will intensify our efforts to capture dinosaurs, with a focus on capturing pterosaurs."

"My first priority is to establish the Winged Dragon Army."

As soon as the words were spoken.

Guo Zhen immediately accepted the order: "Your Highness will immediately convey the order to the prehistoric world army to capture the pterosaur with all its might."

"Hmm." Zhu Ying nodded, then looked at the pterosaur beneath his feet.

Now that the experiment has yielded results, it is indeed possible to communicate with and tame them.

The next step is to focus all our efforts on refining this elixir, both to control it and to communicate with it.

……

The next day!

The scientific expedition is also being carried out as scheduled.

This was different from the imperial examinations of previous years.

The imperial examination system of today.

It was divided into multiple sessions.

The examination venue of the Ministry of Rites was located there.

Liu Jing, the Minister of Rites, personally oversaw the operation, while two vice ministers also made separate inspections.

This scientific expedition was divided into several categories.

Wenju.

Military examination.

Medical examination.

Craftsmanship.

Each of the four imperial examinations had a designated person in charge, and Wenju was a vice minister in the Ministry of Rites.

The military officer was Xiao Han, a commander of the Imperial Guard under the Grandson's household.

The physician in charge of medical examinations was the top imperial physician in the palace.

The "Craftsmanship Examination" is for top-notch artisans from various workshops in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the "Craftsmanship Examination" is also the most complex, because it includes blacksmiths and various skilled craftsmen.

This imperial examination.

Those with a special skill can also participate after being screened by the local authorities.

Obvious.

How much impact will this imperial examination have?

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, while Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiong Ying sat on chairs on either side of the hall.

The three of them waited there for the imperial examination to end.

After the Ministry of Rites' examination concluded.

That was the real palace examination.

In reality, it was the emperor himself who interviewed the students who had passed the examinations.

This is also the foundation of the imperial examination system.

Through the examination, students also face the truth directly.

Time passed slowly!

at last.

After three hours, thanks to the meticulous arrangements made by the Ministry of Rites.

This imperial examination has now come to an end.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"In the 26th year of Hongwu's reign, all the scholars, artisans, and doctors who came to Yingtian from all over the country to participate in the imperial examinations have completed their examinations."

"now."

"By imperial decree, the top ten candidates in each imperial examination are already waiting outside the Fengtian Hall."

Liu Jing strode into the main hall, bowed respectfully, and loudly proclaimed his arrival.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand.

"By imperial decree, the top ten scholars in the imperial examinations are summoned to the palace for an audience," Liu Jing shouted to the outside of the palace.

echoed.

A total of seventy people walked in from outside the hall.

Unlike previous years, those who could enter the palace for the imperial examinations were all refined scholars, exuding an air of scholarly elegance.

This year's students entering the temple are not only those who have passed the imperial examinations, but also strong young men, burly craftsmen, and elderly doctors with white hair.

During the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations had no age limit and only selected candidates based on their talent.

This was especially true for the imperial examinations, which expanded on other aspects. As long as one had the ability, the Ming Dynasty did not care about age. As long as one could serve the country, they would be employed after passing the examinations.

After they entered the main hall.

His gaze fell upon Zhu Yuanzhang on his high throne, and also upon the Crown Prince and his grandson sitting on either side of the main hall.

now!

The figures who only existed in proclamations and legends were now truly before my eyes: the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his two heirs.

Naturally, they felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

"I will see you, Your Majesty."

"See the prince."

"Greetings to the Crown Prince."

As the seventy people entered the hall in an orderly fashion, lined up according to their rank, and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

Every face was filled with indescribable excitement.

Being able to ascend to this hall today, and even more so being among the top ten in the imperial examinations, is undoubtedly a tremendous honor.

"No courtesy, stay on your own."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, glanced at everyone in the hall, and raised his hand.

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!" all the students shouted in unison.

now.

Everyone looked at the students inside the hall with a sense of restraint.

The Imperial Examination!

Start!
……

Time passed slowly!

One month.

Within the Imperial Guard camp, steam engine workshops had been successfully established. With the financial resources mobilized by the Ministry of Revenue and the full support of the Ministry of Works, concrete workshops unlike any other in this era were built.

Simultaneously.

Various iron ores and materials for manufacturing steam engines were also transported to the military camp.

of course!

As workshops and the prisons used for conquering the prehistoric world expanded, the Imperial Guard camp as a whole continued to expand outwards.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guard camp was not located within Yingtian City, otherwise there would have been no way to prevent it.

two months.

The various national policies of the Ming Dynasty are still being implemented, but it will take time before the steam engine can be mass-produced. However, the preparations are now at a critical moment.

but.

Other national policies of the Ming Dynasty were not delayed.

The shipbuilding industry remains prosperous.

More and more merchants are going overseas.

And these two months.

The training of dragons to form an army has also been a remarkable success.

Above the Imperial Guard camp.

One of the thousand guards held a long spear in one hand and the reins in the other.

The other end of the reins was tied to the pterosaur's neck.

High in the sky.

A thousand pterosaurs flapped their wings, stirring up waves of wind in the void.

It was like a howling wind.

"I never expected it would actually work."

"Pterosaur Army".

Inside the military camp.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked up at this shocking scene and were also incredibly astonished.

“A steam train can travel a thousand miles a day, and if this pterosaur were to fly continuously, it could do the same, perhaps even without any hindrance,” Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Two months.

They went to great lengths to capture pterosaurs, and even after taming them, they used them to capture their own kind.

Compared to land-dwelling dinosaurs, pterosaurs were much more adept at hunting.

It's finally done now.

"If the fighting power of this thousand troops were to be unleashed, perhaps even tens of thousands of troops would not be able to contend with them."

Zhu Biao had this sentiment.

"Let alone tens of thousands of troops, even with anti-air weapons, it would be difficult to harm the Winged Dragon Army in the face of such a formation," Zhu Ying said with a smile.

"Yes." "This pterosaur can fly so high, perhaps only the Red Cannon could pose a threat to it if it were to fire at the sky."

"And dealing with a few is one thing, but this is a thousand!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed.

For them.

Obviously, most people are just okay and fortunate.

If Zhu Ying had not been recognized, these dinosaur armies would have become an army to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, without Zhu Ying, the Ming Dynasty would not have had so many advanced firearms.

Furthermore, they had no way to deal with these dinosaurs, and once on the battlefield, they were completely passively slaughtered.

Just looking at this scene is terrifying.

"Except for the Pterosaur Army."

“And there are those on land as well.” Zhu Ying smiled.

A clap.

On the other side, I saw...

The gates opened.

Tapping.

Tapping.

The entire earth began to shake violently.

Hundreds of velociraptor cavalrymen charged out from among them, moving at a speed far exceeding that of warhorses. These soldiers were also royal guards, each holding a rein in one hand and a sword in the other. Combined with the terrifying speed of the velociraptors, the battlefield was filled with endless carnage.

"That's truly terrifying!"

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"Old man."

"In two more months."

"I'm planning to go north."

Zhu Ying turned his head and suddenly said.

"Are you preparing to deal with the Oirat?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, immediately seeing through Zhu Ying's intentions.

"It's been almost a year, and the situation in the northern frontier is quite stable. Those Yuan people have all turned to the Ming Dynasty. The Oirats are very afraid of the fact that our Ming Dynasty has taken over the Tatar territory without causing much unrest."

"I'll take this opportunity to test out this dinosaur army and train them," Zhu Ying said with a smile.

To defeat the Oirat.

I originally planned to wait a while longer.

However, the appearance of the Dinosaur Army gave Zhu Ying the idea of ​​taking action ahead of schedule.

of course!

The most important thing was to train the troops and test the combat power of this dinosaur army.

As for why the two-month period was set?
This is also to capture as many dinosaurs as possible within these two months, so that we can form a larger army.

such.

They would be able to operate more effectively on the northern battlefield and reduce casualties.

"Don't just look at the north, things are happening in the south too," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

He took out a report directly from his pocket.

Then he handed it to Zhu Yingyi: "This is an urgent report that just arrived today from Guangdong and Guangxi."

"Except."

"And Champa to the south, Annam is not peaceful either."

Zhu Ying nodded and took the urgent report from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Upon seeing the above content, a cold smile appeared on his face.

“Pirates are rampant, plundering our Ming Dynasty merchant ships, mostly along the eastern coast of our Ming Dynasty, near the Ryukyu Islands.” Zhu Ying spoke slowly, but his face was cold.

They clearly knew who was behind this so-called piracy.

"Once I've dealt with the Oirats and Uriyangkhai in the north, the next one will be this Japan."

"I want to enslave the entire Japanese nation," Zhu Yinghe said in a deep voice after submitting the report.

His tone carried an unspeakable coldness.

Regarding this Japanese country.

Zhu Ying had originally planned to clean it up, but he hadn't had the time to do so.

The entire Ming Dynasty is currently undergoing reforms, which naturally slows things down.

in the past.

The Ming Dynasty did not lift the maritime ban, so there were not many pirates. However, once the maritime ban was lifted, Ming merchants went to Southeast Asian countries, Ryukyu, and other places to do business, which brought enormous wealth and naturally attracted the attention of Japan.

They must have been inciting looting extensively.

"Send the order to the Ministry of War."

"Order the navy to increase patrols along the coast."

"Pirates spotted, kill them."

"Order the shipbuilding workshop to continue building warships, leaving space for steam engine installation," Zhu Ying said, turning directly to Liu Lei.

"Your subject obeys," Liu Lei replied immediately.

"It's just a small, barbaric country; our navy can handle it."

"Once you've dealt with the threat from the north, then you can deal with the Japanese. There's no rush," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Yes." Zhu Ying nodded.

but.

The problem with Japan.

This also made Zhu feel a sense of urgency regarding the matter of unifying the world.

after all.

Development takes time.

……

north.

Prairie land.

The royal court of the Oirat tribe.

today.

Inside the royal tent.

All the generals and tribal leaders of the Oirat Mongols gathered here.

The Oirat Khan, Choros, sat on his throne, his face extremely grim.

"The Ming Dynasty has completely taken control of the Tatar territory and has implemented military control over it."

"It has only been a little over a year, yet the Ming Dynasty has gained such control over the Tatar territory."

"If the Ming Dynasty continues like this, our people will be in grave danger."

Choros, his face grim, addressed the general inside the tent.

"Father Khan."

"There's no time to think about it now. We can't let the Ming Dynasty continue to control the Tatars. If things continue like this, and millions of Tatars all submit to the Ming Dynasty, then our people will have no chance of defeating the Ming Dynasty."

"Our clan must strike first."

A young Oirat general stood up, his face full of anger.

He was none other than Mahmud, the son of Choros, the Great Khan of the Oirat.

If history doesn't change.

Mahmud was also a powerful ruler on the grasslands, who almost unified the entire grassland tribes and became a formidable opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

Only now.

History has long been altered by Zhu Ying.

"Young Master is right."

"Our clan must strike first."

"Great Khan, muster your men and seize the territory of the Tatars. We are of the same race, and I believe that the Tatars will never submit to the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes."

"Our clan has developed for so long and is now strong and well-equipped. As long as we have enough troops, we will surely defeat the Ming Dynasty and reclaim the territory that rightfully belongs to our clan."

"Great Khan, give the order."

……

One by one, the Oirat generals also spoke up.

Everyone was urging Choros to send troops.

Watch this scene.

Choros nodded and said in a deep voice, "Indeed! My people have no choice. If we let the Ming Dynasty continue, my people will surely be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty."

"Relay the Khan's decree."

"All units must muster their forces; our tribe must fight with all its might in this battle."

"All tribes, gather your troops in the eastern tribes, and after combining your forces, attack the Ming Dynasty and reclaim the Tatar territory," Choros immediately decided.

It wasn't just the growing national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, he learned about the current state of the Tatar territory.

original.

He thought that even if the Ming Dynasty used its army to control these territories, it would not last long and would inevitably impose a bloody control over the Tatar people. But he was wrong.

The Ming Dynasty did indeed use its military to suppress the rebellion.

However, the common people were treated without any discrimination. Opponents were suppressed, while the common people were allocated pastures, fields, and even a variety of resources.

Compared to the Tatars' control over the people in the past, the Ming Dynasty seemed to be bestowing favors upon them.

The hearts of the Tatar people have gradually turned to the Ming Dynasty, and this will only continue in the long run.

Therefore, Choros knew very well that this could not continue. Once the Ming Dynasty completely controlled the Tatars and integrated their manpower into an army, the Oirat would inevitably be next.

So he can't wait.

We must strike first.

Apart from that.

There is no other way.

Even if there is a difference in strength between the two sides, he has no other choice.
