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

imperial capital.

Inside the Imperial Palace, at the Fengtian Hall.

Upon their arrival, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who were seated on the dragon throne.

They shouted "Long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat solemnly on the high seat in the main hall.

With six months of cultivating the True Dragon Qi, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's frenzied expansion during this period, Zhu Yuanzhang's True Dragon Qi became increasingly abundant.

The stronger this "True Dragon Aura" is, the more obvious the imperial might displayed by Zhu Yuanzhang will be.

and so.

When the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they naturally did not dare to hesitate and all bowed in respect.

Zhu Biao, sitting on the other side of Zhu Yuanzhang, also displayed a dignified expression.

Although the court officials all knew that Zhu Biao was a benevolent ruler, his actions, expressions, and voice were causing them some degree of unease.

Simultaneously.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao sat on this throne together, an inexplicable sense of fear enveloped the hearts of all the civil and military officials.

In fact, previously all three emperors would hold court together, but now, because Zhu Ying was personally leading a campaign against the southeastern states, only Zhu Biao was sitting next to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the court session began.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first, saying, "Now that half a year has passed, tell me, how far has my Ming Dynasty developed?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang's powerful voice fell to the ground.

The six ministers and other officials dared not hesitate and began to report to Zhu Yuanzhang!
The first to step forward from among the officials was Tang Duo, the Minister of War.

after all.

During this period, the Ming Dynasty's focus remained on military expansion.

Zhu Ying and Feng Sheng led their respective land and sea forces in a frenzied expansion on land and at sea.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally attached great importance to the specific details of the war.

"Your Majesty, according to the battle reports from the front, both Annam and Champa have now been occupied by our Great Ming!"

"In addition, the army has continued to expand into neighboring small countries such as Siam."

"According to His Highness the Crown Prince, these southeastern countries are no match for the Great Ming."

"Especially the soldiers of the mountain battalion, who have fully adapted to the southern rainforest weather, it is only a matter of time before they completely conquer these small southeastern countries."

After Minister of War Tang Duo finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally showed a satisfied expression.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "We are quite confident about the war with these southeastern countries."

"After all, with Xiong Ying personally overseeing the battle, our Ming army will surely annihilate their country in one fell swoop!"

"Immediately inform Xiong Ying that we are waiting for his triumphant return in the capital!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Tang Duo immediately responded and accepted the order.

At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting next to Zhu Yuanzhang, also spoke up: "Father, I have heard that it rains a lot in the southeast during the summer. Now that it is summer, if there is more rain, will it affect the pace of the Ming army's expedition?"

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang's face fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing this, Tang Duo, the Minister of War, spoke up again to explain, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are overthinking it."

"Although the southeast is rainy in summer, our Ming Dynasty is well-equipped and the soldiers all have rain boots. In addition, the mountain battalion has long been used to this kind of weather."

"Moreover, the increased rainfall has also affected the mobilization of local troops."

"Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured. I believe that as long as His Highness the Crown Prince is stationed in the Southeast and personally leads the army on the battlefield, our Ming army will surely be able to annihilate the Southeast countries in one fell swoop!"

On the dragon throne, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again, and they all sighed with emotion, "Of course we trust Xiong Ying."

"However, it has been quite some time since we last saw U.A., and we miss him very much."

"How is the navy progressing?" Zhu Yuanzhang then inquired about the navy's situation.

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, with Zhu Ying in charge in the southeast, he could rest assured.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang still had no confidence in the navy.

Although he understood that the Ming Dynasty's warships were now the best in the world, and no other country could match them.

But after all, it is a naval operation.

In addition to facing enemy forces, the navy also has to contend with the weather.

This also increases the number of uncertainties.

Upon hearing this, Tang Duo immediately replied, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Ming Navy has now occupied most of the Southeast Asian countries!"

“Especially larger countries like Java and Sumatra have already been defeated by the Ming Dynasty.”

"According to General Feng Sheng's battle report, only a few small countries remain to be destroyed."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to the capital in about a month."

Inside the Fengtian Hall.

When the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty heard that the Ming Dynasty had achieved brilliant results on two fronts, they were naturally extremely excited.

Of course, the most excited person was Zhu Yuanzhang.

Once the southeast and South Seas are occupied, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will expand once again.

and.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty will become the largest in the history of any regime in the Central Plains!
none of them.

This is something that will be remembered in history.

"Whether it's the Southeast or the South Seas, both are of paramount importance to the Ming Dynasty!"

"The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War must provide full support!"

"Especially regarding provisions, there must be absolutely no delay. If the soldiers at the front go hungry, we will punish them severely!"

Yu Xin, as the Minister of Revenue, naturally dared not hesitate and immediately made a guarantee to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty now has a considerable number of railways. Grain can be transported by rail to Yunnan Prefecture and the Ming army camps, and then transported to the front lines by grain transport teams!"

"With the railway, there was a steady stream of food and supplies being delivered to the soldiers almost every day!"

After Yu Xin finished speaking, a look of satisfaction appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Afterwards, Chen Jing, who was the Minister of Personnel, also stepped forward from among the officials.

They began to report to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao on the achievements of the Ministry of Personnel during this period.

"Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince, more than two hundred officials have already entered the world of the [Five Barbarian Tribes at the End of the Jin Dynasty] through the portal!"

"These officials are now scattered throughout the Central Plains of the world during the late Jin Dynasty and the Five Barbarian Tribes!"

"According to His Majesty the Grandson's orders, these officials began to implement various policies to benefit the country and its people."

"The people of the Central Plains in this world of the late Jin Dynasty and the Five Barbarian Tribes are quite satisfied with the Ming Dynasty!"

"Officials in every place have won the support of the people."

After Chen Jing finished his report, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

"U.A. really has a long-term vision."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has established a regime in the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty, this has brought the Ming Dynasty an additional source of tax revenue. It has also given officials an opportunity to gain experience."

"We are very satisfied!"

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled at Zhu Biao beside him and said, "If that's the case, then we are now emperors of two worlds!" Zhu Biao also replied, "Father is right. Now, among the Five Barbarian tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Ming army has defeated the Five Barbarian tribes that were disturbing the Central Plains and destroyed the Eastern Jin regime."

"Nowadays, the people of the Central Plains have come to recognize our Great Ming as the legitimate dynasty."

Zhu Biao continued, "Father, I have a suggestion. Since the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty has become the domain of the Ming Dynasty, why not rebuild Chang'an and reconstruct the imperial palace?"

"In the future, Father Emperor and Xiong Ying can travel to the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty to meet with the people of the Central Plains. They can also stay in the palace for a period of time."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally approved of Zhu Biao's proposal.

"Makes sense."

"Now that our Ming Dynasty has established a regime during the late Jin Dynasty and the Five Barbarian Tribes, we will definitely take a look for ourselves if we have the opportunity in the future."

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Qin Da, the Minister of Works, "Qin Da, we will entrust this matter to your Ministry of Works."

Qin Da, as the Minister of Works, naturally did not hesitate and immediately accepted the order.

"Wei Chen obeys!"

"Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured that the Ministry of Works will definitely prioritize the construction of Chang'an City and will absolutely satisfy Your Majesty."

Also.

Qin Da, the Minister of Works, reported to Zhu Yuanzhang on the progress of the Ministry of Works during this period.

"Your Majesty, in the past six months or so, the Ministry of Works has helped the people build thousands of workshops."

"In addition, the Ministry of Works also established a special workshop management area in the suburbs of the capital city."

"Nowadays, workshops of all sizes are producing in this area."

"In addition, similar areas were established not only in the capital, but also in other parts of the Ming Dynasty."

"Due to the rapid expansion of workshops during this period, working in workshops became the first choice for ordinary people."

"With these numerous workshops, the income of the people has increased significantly."

When Qin Da informed Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ministry of Works' achievements, the Ming emperor was naturally extremely pleased.

He exclaimed repeatedly, "We are very satisfied! Very satisfied!"

“Xiongying always tells us that the key to the Ming Dynasty is the people. Only by enabling the people to live a good life can the Ming Dynasty be remembered for generations to come.”

"Of course, the Ministry of Works needs to work harder and find more ways to improve people's lives."

Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged Qin Da.

"Wei Chen obeys!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works will definitely help the people establish more workshops, and at the same time increase the variety of workshops so that the people can have more choices."

At this moment, Zhu Biao, who was sitting next to Zhu Yuanzhang, asked, "Qin Da, is the work of the people in the workshops too strenuous? If it is too strenuous, their pay should be increased."

Qin Da immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, since most of the machines in the workshops are now steam engines, the work of the people is quite convenient. They only need to add coal and then do simple sorting."

"Moreover, the wages offered by workshops across the country are quite high, yet some workshops still struggle to recruit workers."

"Therefore, Your Highness, please rest assured that these workshops are all managed by the Ministry of Works, and absolutely nothing will happen that would be detrimental to the people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were naturally quite satisfied with what Qin Da said.

immediately.

Liu Jing, the Minister of Rites, also stepped forward and began to report on the Ministry of Rites' achievements during this period.

In the past six months, the most important thing for the Ministry of Rites has been the imperial examinations.

Since the imperial court promulgated the civil service examination, the people were naturally very excited and signed up to take the exam.

And just recently.

Under the organization of the Ministry of Rites, the imperial examinations have also come to a successful conclusion.

"Your Majesty, since the imperial examinations were reopened, nearly one million candidates participated this year. The top one hundred candidates have now been assigned to various regions."

Upon hearing Liu Jing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered, "These students are the future wealth of our Great Ming Dynasty. We should give them more opportunities. In addition, we can also let them enter the world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty through the [Portal Space] to take up positions!"

"In short, we must do everything we can to cultivate him!"

"Your humble servant obeys," Liu Jing replied hastily.

"Your Majesty, speaking of this world of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty, more than one million people have already entered the military camp of Beiping Prefecture through the spatial portal."

"These millions of slaves have now been transported by train to all parts of the country to begin infrastructure construction."

After Liu Jing, the Minister of Rites, finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a look of satisfaction, "That's not enough. Order the Ming army from the Five Barbarian lands at the end of the Jin Dynasty to continue capturing prisoners!"

“After the Ming Dynasty occupies the countries in the southeast and the South Seas, a lot of construction will be needed in these places, so these million slaves are far from enough.”

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, based on the current policy of national expansion, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will become larger and larger, and the occupied territories will be integrated with the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, these places also need to be developed!
Zhu Yuanzhang continued eloquently, "Our Ming Dynasty is entering a phase of rapid expansion. All civil and military officials must go all out to contribute to the Ming Dynasty's entry into a new era!"

"At the end of the year, those who have achieved outstanding political results will be rewarded!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the Fengtian Hall shouted "Long live the Emperor!" in unison.

……

now.

In the southeast, in the Kingdom of Siam, the capital city.

The infantry battalion, the mountain battalion, and the Shenji Battalion have all arrived here.

For the King of Siam, he had deployed all his troops to resist the attack from the Ming Dynasty.

Even the palace eunuchs were drawn onto the battlefield to defend the capital to the death.

Unfortunately.

With the arrival of the Ming army, the suspense had effectively ended.

At this time.

High in the sky.

The void obscures the sun.

Zhu Ying suddenly appeared riding the Wind God Wyvern. At the same time, behind Zhu Ying were three thousand Royal Guard Wyvern soldiers!
And not far away.

A roar suddenly rang out.

This is the Ming Dynasty's Velociraptor Legion.

Hundreds of velociraptors are charging toward the capital of Siam.

When the velociraptor army arrived, Zhu Ying, high in the sky, suddenly shouted with his true energy, "Attack the city!"

After he finished speaking...

At this moment, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had finished loading the red-coated cannons!

next second!
Countless cannonballs rained down on the capital city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Instantly.

The sound of artillery fire filled the air.

Despite the Siamese soldiers' best efforts, they were no match for the relentless artillery bombardment.

The city gates ultimately fell!
