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

At this moment, in the imperial palace of Chang'an, during the late Jin Dynasty, in the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes.

Zhu Ying sat on the dragon throne and issued new orders to the Ming army generals in the hall.

Although Chang'an had been taken over by the Ming army, in other parts of the Central Plains, Han people were still being plundered by foreign tribes!
Therefore, for Zhu Ying, the war was far from over.

It's only just begun.

What Zhu Ying needs to do next is to completely drive these Five Barbarian tribes out of the north! Even to exterminate them all!
"Continue cleaning up the battlefield. Send all surviving members of the foreign race to the Ming Dynasty and make them slaves, never to rise again!"

"Furthermore, the foreign nobles and royalty will be dealt with the same way as before: their hands and feet will be cut off, but their lives will be spared!"

"I want these princes and nobles to watch their people be wiped out by my Great Ming!"

"Furthermore, with the cavalry battalion as the main force and the infantry battalion as the auxiliary force, continue to hunt down the alien race!"

"I not only want to pacify the Central Plains, but also to annihilate all foreign tribes!"

When Zhu Ying gave the order, the generals in the hall responded in unison.

"I will obey your orders!"

……

In the following period, the Ming Dynasty's 300,000-strong army immediately followed Zhu Ying's orders and began to pursue and kill the Five Barbarian rebels.

They basically pursued the enemy in all directions, with Chang'an as the center.

It must be said that the Ming army's fighting power was almost overwhelming compared to that of the Five Barbarian tribes.

Especially the cavalry of the war cavalry battalion!
The reason why the Five Barbarian Tribes were able to invade the Central Plains from the northern grasslands was mainly because they possessed powerful cavalry.

It should be understood that in the era of cold weapons, cavalry was significantly more powerful than infantry. Therefore, the Jin army had no chance of winning when facing the attacks of the Five Barbarian tribes, which were mainly composed of cavalry.

But now.

With the arrival of the cavalry battalion, everything changed.

The Ming Dynasty's cavalry was far superior to the Five Barbarian tribes in both warhorses and equipment.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion also possessed flintlock muskets, red-coated cannons, and other weapons!

Once these weapons, which were ahead of their time, appeared, they undoubtedly had a huge impact on the Five Barbarian tribes.

Time passed, and three days later
Large numbers of Xiongnu tribal captives were continuously transported to Chang'an, and then, using the spatial gateways of Chang'an, they were transported to Beiping, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

If these Xiongnu soldiers were obedient after entering Beiping, things would be fine.

But if they disobeyed, they would be whipped by Ming soldiers!

All prisoners who were whipped would become docile sheep and work diligently...

Because the Ming army was unstoppable in the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty, it slaughtered people everywhere.

Therefore, for Zhu Ying, there was naturally no need for him to continue to oversee things.

Zhu Ying believed that relying on Lan Yu, Xu Huizu, Chang Mao, and others was enough.

It was only a matter of time before the Five Barbarian tribes were wiped out.

In addition, Zhu Ying continued to deploy troops in order to end the war in the Five Barbarian lands as soon as possible. He had previously deployed 300,000 troops, but he felt that it was still not enough.

Therefore, Zhu Ying later added 200,000 county soldiers to guard the cities occupied by the Ming army.

This is a one-sided battle.

After more than ten days of fighting, the Xiongnu tribes have been completely decimated, and many of them have begun to flee to the northern grasslands.

For the Xiongnu, the Central Plains were no longer a hell for the Han people, but a purgatory for the Xiongnu.

When the Xiongnu heard that the Ming army was coming, they did not dare to fight. In fact, their first reaction was to run away... This is the terrifying nature of the Ming army.

Wherever they went, the Xiongnu were terrified.

……

After arranging the battle deployment in the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Ying returned to the world of the Ming Dynasty through the [Space Portal]. However, people still reported the Ming army's battle situation to Zhu Ying every day.

The Ming Dynasty, Yingtian.

On this day, Zhu Ying made a special trip to the Imperial Guard camp. When Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guard, saw Zhu Ying arrive, he immediately bowed to him.

"I will see you at last, Your Highness."

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Ying's main purpose in coming to the Imperial Guard camp was to check on the condition of the Longevity Fruit Tree.

When entering the world of "The Five Barbarian Tribes at the End of the Jin Dynasty", Zhu Ying specially separated the roots and stems of the Longevity Fruit Tree, and then gave these roots and stems to Lan Yu and others.

Let them take the roots and stems of this Longevity Fruit Tree and go to kill it.

In Zhu Ying's view, the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty was filled with great anger, and the Five Barbarian tribes were extremely brutal. They could serve as nutrients for the Longevity Fruit Tree. After all, the more foreign tribes the Ming army killed, the more blood essence the Longevity Fruit Tree would absorb, which would allow it to grow stronger.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

now.

The Ming army had been fighting in the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty for almost half a month.

Therefore, Zhu Ying came here today specifically to check on the condition of the Longevity Fruit Tree.

Inside the Imperial Guard's camp, the Longevity Fruit Tree was currently shimmering with a blood-red light.

Zhu Ying was not surprised when he saw this, because he understood that the Longevity Fruit Tree was absorbing blood essence.

Zhu Ying glanced at the Longevity Fruit of the Longevity Fruit Tree again. He had to admit that after absorbing a large amount of blood energy from the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Longevity Fruit had indeed grown considerably.

"Excellent, excellent. These fruits are getting fuller and fuller." Zhu Ying couldn't help but show a satisfied expression after seeing them.

Then, Zhu Ying turned to Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and said, "Guo Zhen."

"Your subordinate is here!" Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, immediately saluted Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying then slowly said, "Immediately send someone to tell Lan Yu, Xu Huizu, and others in the Five Barbarian World to continue their slaughter of the Five Barbarian tribes!"

"We must exterminate all the foreign tribes in the Central Plains as soon as possible!"

Zhu Ying understood that if he wanted the Longevity Fruit Tree to receive more nutrients, then the battles in the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty would naturally have to be even more intense!
"Your subordinate obeys!" Guo Zhen immediately replied.

……

Soon, in the world of "The Five Barbarian Tribes at the End of the Jin Dynasty," Lan Yu, Chang Mao, Xu Huizu, and others began to strictly follow Zhu Ying's instructions and carry out a frenzied slaughter against the Five Barbarian tribes.

Especially blue jade.

His cavalry battalion was unstoppable, and the Five Barbarian tribes around Chang'an trembled with fear at the mere mention of Lan Yu's name.

Lan Yu even led his cavalry battalion to massacre the Five Barbarian tribes in three cities in a single day, causing the Five Barbarian tribes' power in the north to gradually collapse.

As Lan Yu's cavalry battalion slaughtered the Five Barbarian tribes on the battlefield, the roots of the Longevity Fruit Tree also received abundant nourishment.

Of course, Chang Mao and Xu Huizu also performed admirably.

If they encountered a Five Barbarian tribe that stubbornly defended its city, the Divine Machine Battalion would bring out the Red Cannons. After a barrage of fire from the Red Cannons, even the most fortified city would be reduced to rubble.

that's it.

The infantry, cavalry, and elite infantry units coordinated seamlessly, using Chang'an as their center to relentlessly pursue and kill the Five Barbarian tribes in all directions. Gradually, the scales of victory began to tip in favor of the Han people. ...

Four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The end of the new year is approaching.

On New Year's Eve, the fireworks in Yingtian City were incredibly dazzling!
The streets were bustling with activity.

Children and the elderly alike came out of their homes to watch the beautiful fireworks in the night sky.

It was quite lively.

Simultaneously.

Inside the Fengtian Hall, the last court assembly of the year officially commenced.

The main topic of this court meeting was a summary of the past year.

Therefore, all the civil and military officials came to participate.

Even the generals who fought against the foreign tribes during the late Jin Dynasty had arrived.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying also came here.

After the court assembly ceremony concluded, the ministers began to speak.

"Your Majesty..."

"In the past year, the population has more than doubled! In addition, grain production has also increased dramatically compared to previous years!"

One of the ministers reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The latter nodded slightly: "Very good, very good! The people are the foundation of our Great Ming Dynasty, and the more people the better!"

Afterwards, Tang Duo, who was the Minister of War, also stepped forward.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, the northern border has been peaceful this past year. There have been no conflicts between the Han people and the foreign tribes. Furthermore, under His Highness the Crown Prince's colonial policies, the tribes of the northern grasslands are even more loyal to our Great Ming!"

"Your Majesty believes that the northern border is now completely secure! And in a few years, the northern barbarians will absolutely not be able to threaten our Great Ming!"

After Tang Duo finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

"The stability of the northern frontier is truly hard-won, and I am greatly gratified."

"All of this is thanks to U.A. High School."

"If Xiong Ying hadn't proposed the policy of using barbarians to control barbarians, perhaps chaos would have broken out in the northern frontier."

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Ying sitting beside him.

Zhu Ying immediately said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, just as Tang Duo said, the northern border is now completely safe. Under the existing policies and systems, it is impossible for any foreign tribes to rise up in the north!"

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang once again showed a satisfied expression.

Subsequently, Qin Da, the Minister of Works, also stepped forward from among the officials.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works has something to report!"

"Speak!" Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting on the dragon throne, said.

"Your Majesty, after a year of construction, the railway planned by our Great Ming Dynasty is now half completed!"

After Qin Da finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked somewhat curious.

He then pressed on, "Qin Da, how could the railway have been built so quickly?"

The latter dared not hesitate and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the reason why the railway construction progress has been accelerated is mainly due to the labor of one million people!"

“A large number of laborers were recruited from all over the country to help with the construction, and there was also an increase in slaves.”

"Whether they were slaves from the Oirat Mongols or slaves brought from the Five Barbarian Lands, most of them were assigned to work building railways."

"These slaves worked incredibly hard, and they worked in two shifts, so they could build the railway both day and night, which naturally increased the construction speed considerably!"

After Qin Da finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said, "That's right!"

"Since they are slaves, it's only natural to exploit their value! Using these slaves to build the railway is perfectly appropriate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang then pressed on, asking, "Then calculate how much longer it will take for this railway to be completely completed?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Qin Da, the Minister of Works, immediately replied, "Your Majesty, according to my humble estimate, it should be completed in about six months!"

"Of course, with the increase in the number of slaves, it is even possible that the project will be completed ahead of schedule!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face once again showed a satisfied expression.

"Very good. This railway is a major project for our Great Ming Dynasty in the near future. If it can be completed ahead of schedule, that would be even better!"

"However, we must also remind you that you still need to ensure quality. You absolutely cannot allow quality problems to occur just because you are rushing to meet the deadline!"

Zhu Yuanzhang offered a reminder.

Qin Da immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the quality of the railway construction will be guaranteed, and special officials will conduct inspections every day!"

In the following period, the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites also gave reports.

The reports from these officials all contained phrases like "the situation is excellent" and "the people are living in peace and contentment."

Finally, Yu Xin, the Minister of Revenue, also reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has already compiled this year's national treasury revenue statistics."

"read."

Yu Xin immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, compared to the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the national treasury revenue of our Great Ming Dynasty has increased by almost thirty times!"

"This rate of increase is the fastest since the founding of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Currently, the Ming Dynasty's treasury is overflowing, and the Ministry of Revenue's silver treasury is almost overflowing with funds for military pay!"

Upon hearing what Yu Xin said, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood very well that only when the national treasury was full could the Ming Dynasty be able to undertake various wars, and thus increase the lifespan of the people.

The fruit that the Longevity Fruit Tree bore could increase Zhu Yuanzhang's lifespan.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a pretty good mood after hearing that the national treasury was full.

"Very good, very good."

"Only with a full national treasury can our Great Ming Dynasty support such a large army. I am very satisfied with the work of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Yu Xin, you did a great job! Keep up the good work."

Zhu Yuanzhang specifically praised Yu Xin by name.

Yu Xin, the Minister of Revenue, immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, the reason why the national treasury has increased so quickly is mainly due to the national policies of the Ming Dynasty."

"Furthermore, now that the maritime ban has been lifted, merchants trading in distant seas are paying more taxes, and this revenue has greatly helped to boost the national treasury."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately announced to the crowd: "Since this Ming Dynasty policy has filled our national treasury, I hereby declare that we will continue to implement the Ming Dynasty policy next year and the year after!"

"We must make the Ming Dynasty richer and stronger!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, all the officials in the Fengtian Hall shouted again, "Your humble servant obeys! Long live the Emperor!"
