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

Chapter 450 Continued Expansion! The Colonial Nation Connects to the Railway!

After the court meeting ended, the court officials and the foreign envoys dispersed.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying, three generations of the Zhu family, also left Fengtian Hall together.

"Xiongying, these foreign nations are indeed full of wolves and wolves, all wanting to dominate the world with the help of our Ming Dynasty's firearms."

Zhu Ying calmly replied, "Don't worry, old man, these countries can't cause any trouble."

"Moreover, the firearms we sold to them were all outdated firearms from our Great Ming Dynasty. Besides, there are many conflicts between countries such as England, France, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow."

"Once they purchase the firearms of my Great Ming, they will surely fight each other. In the end, this world will eventually belong to my Great Ming again."

Upon hearing what Zhu Ying said, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

no doubt.

Conquering the entire world was Zhu Yuanzhang's grand ambition.

"This year, the Ming Dynasty's national policy remains focused on expansion, and it is time to expand westward. In addition, the navy should launch a full-scale offensive, advancing by both land and sea."

"This world will belong to our Great Ming Dynasty sooner or later."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were naturally very excited after hearing what Zhu Ying said.

"Excellent, excellent!"

"We must expand westward! Our Great Ming is now powerful, with many countries paying tribute to us. Every country attaches great importance to our firearms!"

"Since our Ming Dynasty's military strength is so powerful, we should naturally make full use of our advantages."

"Xiongying, tell me quickly, which country did our Ming Dynasty attack this year?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Ying with a curious expression.

Zhu Ying slowly walked up to the map of the world, and then his gaze fell on the area west of the Ming Dynasty.

"The last hidden danger of the former Yuan Ting should also be completely eliminated."

Obviously.

The last hidden danger of the Yuan Dynasty that Zhu Ying mentioned is naturally the current Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao immediately perked up.

“Xiongying, if you hadn’t said it, we would have almost forgotten about this Khameri. Indeed, it’s time to wipe out the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. We must take action!”

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he naturally supported Zhu Ying in annihilating the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

soon.

Zhu Ying immediately ordered that all civil and military officials be summoned to the Wenyuan Pavilion.

The military machine of the Ming Dynasty is about to start running in the new year.

……

Before long, civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty flocked to the Wenyuan Pavilion.

After all the civil and military officials bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying, the court meeting officially began.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to speak.

He sat on the magnificent dragon throne and spoke eloquently to the civil and military officials before him: "As you all know, with the growing strength of our Great Ming Dynasty, these Western countries all want to purchase firearms from the Great Ming."

"Now, our Great Ming is the number one country in the world, with extremely strong military strength, which no other country can compare with."

"Last year, the Ming Dynasty achieved remarkable results in battle."

"Destroy the Japanese islands in the east, sweep away the countries in the southeast, attack Korea in the north, and also unify the countries in the South Seas."

"These foreign wars made our Great Ming Dynasty famous throughout the world, and at the same time, we gained a lot of resources."

"This year, you all must continue your efforts and strictly implement this policy of national expansion!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the officials in the Wenyuan Pavilion shouted "Long live the Emperor!" in unison.

Then, Zhu Ying slowly began to speak, issuing this year's attack plan to all Ming Dynasty officials.

"This year's military focus is mainly on westward expansion."

"To the west of the Great Ming Dynasty are numerous countries, such as England and France, which are here today to purchase weapons. They are all located to the west of the Great Ming Dynasty."

"Of course, the Ming Dynasty will not take action against these distant countries at present."

Then.

Zhu Ying slowly walked up to the map of the world and began to explain it to the officials in more detail.

"Currently, the largest country to the west of the Ming Dynasty is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."

"This country is a branch of the Yuan Dynasty. Although it is now in decline, it has always harbored wolfish ambitions."

“If we don’t destroy the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, it will surely cause trouble in the future.”

Zhu Ying then named the first country he was to be attacked.

Upon hearing what Zhu Ying said, the civil and military officials of the Wenyuan Pavilion naturally agreed.

In particular, Tang Duo, the Minister of War, said, "His Highness the Imperial Grandson is right."

"Our Great Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty are irreconcilable enemies. Now that the Great Ming Dynasty is powerful, it will naturally wipe out the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

Afterwards, other civil and military officials also strongly agreed, and even many military generals volunteered to fight.

Zhu Ying continued calmly to the court officials, "The western side of the Great Ming Dynasty is not only home to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but also to some small kingdoms in the Western Regions."

“These countries should naturally be wiped out together.”

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Mu Ying, the general of the mountain camp.

Last year.

In order to cope with the environment of the southeastern countries, Zhu Ying specially ordered Mu Ying to set up a mountain camp.

The mountain battalion led by Mu Ying did not disappoint Zhu Ying, performing outstandingly in the battles in the southeastern countries.

Now, Zhu Ying has considerable trust in this mountain camp.

"Mu Ying, this mission to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the surrounding small kingdoms in the Western Regions will be entrusted to the mountain battalion you lead."

"The Western Regions are also mountainous, and the mountains are even higher than those in the southeastern countries, making them the most suitable for your mountain camp."

"This time, you will lead 100,000 mountain troops, along with 100,000 Shenji troops, to jointly launch this attack!"

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Mu Ying immediately accepted the order.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Mu Ying will surely lead the conquest of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the various kingdoms of the Western Regions!"

Mu Ying accepted the order with unwavering resolve.

Zhu Ying continued, "These Western Regions kingdoms are all brave and skilled warriors, and their strength is naturally greater than that of the Southeastern kingdoms. Therefore, we must proceed with caution in this battle to ensure victory."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Mu Ying replied immediately.

after that.

Zhu Ying then addressed the civil and military officials, saying, "Besides attacking the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, we must also pacify these southern countries." "Lan Yu, Xu Huizu, Chang Mao!" Upon hearing Zhu Ying call their names, the three Ming generals naturally responded in unison.

"Your subordinate is here!!"

Zhu Ying continued, "The three of you will each lead the cavalry battalion, the divine machine battalion, and the infantry battalion, respectively, to continue westward from the southeastern countries!"

Zhu Ying pointed to the map of the world and spoke eloquently to the three generals: "To the west of the southeastern countries, there are also quite a few countries standing side by side."

"This includes Myanmar, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Bangladesh Sultanate!"

"These countries are not particularly strong militarily, but they are all populous nations. If any of their people dare to obstruct our Ming army during the campaign, they can be massacred!"

The three countries Zhu Ying mentioned basically cover the entire South Asian region. At present, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has occupied the entire territory of East Asia and Southeast Asia.

If they wanted to continue expanding, then they would naturally attack South Asia and Central Asia.

When Zhu Ying issued the military order, Lan Yu, Xu Huizu, and Chang Mao naturally responded in unison.

They naturally had full confidence in these three generals.

After all, the military power of the Ming Dynasty was invincible. Although the South Asian countries had large populations, their weapons were quite backward, and even the number of cavalry was pitifully small.

Destroying the Delhi Sultanate and the Bangladesh Sultanate would be a piece of cake.

Zhu Ying was well aware of this, so he continued to say to Lan Yu and the others, "After you have destroyed the aforementioned countries, you will continue to lead your army westward."

"In addition, the navy will also be deployed this time."

"Feng Sheng, what is the current situation of the countries in Southeast Asia?" Zhu Ying then turned his gaze to Admiral Feng Sheng.

The latter hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, the countries of Southeast Asia have been quite well-behaved lately, and the people here dare not rebel again."

"Furthermore, with the arrival of the Grand Governor of the Ming Dynasty, everything has returned to normal," Feng Sheng told Zhu Yingsu in detail.

The latter nodded slightly and said, "In that case, the Ming navy can proceed westward."

"You shall immediately lead 100,000 naval troops aboard Ming warships and storm directly into the Persian Gulf!"

"The target is the Timurid Empire in Persia!"

"The Timurid Empire is located right between our Great Ming and the Western countries, and it controls this fortress."

"After we destroy the Timurid Empire, trade between our Great Ming and the Western countries will naturally become more frequent."

Zhu Ying was well aware that the Timurid Empire had to be destroyed.

If the Timurid Empire is defeated, the Ming Dynasty can extend its reach to the west, which will greatly boost the Ming Dynasty's trade.

"Your subordinate obeys!" Feng Sheng naturally accepted the order immediately.
After Zhu Ying finished explaining the military expansion plan, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the generals, "Do a good job! Let these barbarian countries see the strength of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Anyone who resists! Kill them all without mercy!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, all the generals responded in unison.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will surely annihilate all enemy forces and expand the territory of our Great Ming!"

It is evident that Zhu Yuanzhang was quite excited about this expansion, especially after meeting with various foreign envoys, he realized that there were still many countries in the world that he was unfamiliar with.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally longed to unify the country as soon as possible!
……

Subsequently, Zhu Ying, as the grandson of the emperor, began to implement various domestic and national policies.

Although the Ming Dynasty was currently focused on expansion, Zhu Ying was also very concerned about the living conditions of the people. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's national policy was to focus on both domestic affairs and military matters.

Moreover, these two national policies do not affect each other.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's treasury now has a considerable amount of silver, which is sufficient to handle both domestic and military affairs simultaneously.

Zhu Ying then addressed Qin Da, the Minister of Works, saying, "Railway construction will continue this year."

"Although the railways of our Great Ming have basically covered important areas, there are still some small areas that have not been built. In addition, the railways in the areas we just conquered, such as Korea and the southeastern countries, have not been built."

"Therefore, the Ministry of Works still has a very heavy task this year."

"This year, the Ministry of Works will do its utmost to supervise the construction of railways, so as to connect the Ming Dynasty with its colonies."

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

He replied respectfully to Zhu Ying, "Your humble servant obeys!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Ministry of Works guarantees to complete the task!"

Zhu Ying nodded and continued to emphasize, "Quality must be the top priority in railway construction."

"If there is not enough manpower, people can be recruited from the colonies to build the railway. In addition, the resources of the colonies should be fully utilized."

"Whether it is the Southeast Asian countries or Korea, they all have a lot of iron and copper mines, as well as a lot of timber that can be used."

"The materials used to build the railways can all be sourced locally."

Zhu Ying continued, "Furthermore, if we build railways in the future, we will also need to extract resources from our colonies such as Korea and the Southeast Asian countries."

"Your humble servant obeys!" Qin Da, Minister of Works, replied.

Subsequently, Zhu Ying turned his attention to Yu Xin, the Minister of Revenue.

"Yu Xin".

"Your Ministry of Revenue's task this year is also quite important. The Ming Dynasty's three armies are expanding outwards at the same time, and the Ministry of Revenue must ensure the supply of provisions for these three armies."

"If the march is delayed, the consequences will be very serious."

Yu Xin hurriedly and confidently assured Zhu Ying, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue will do its utmost to ensure logistical support!"

"The supplies for the three armies will absolutely not run out! If any unforeseen circumstances occur, please punish the perpetrators severely!"

Zhu Ying nodded slightly, then continued to say to Yu Xin, "In addition to ensuring the supply of grain, the Ministry of Revenue should also actively engage in trade with these Western countries."

"In addition, the Ministry of Rites should also get involved. You can set reasonable tariffs on goods from these Western countries."

"The imperial examinations will be held as scheduled this year, and the Ministry of Rites should make preparations."

Liu Jing, the Minister of Rites, quickly replied, "Your humble servant obeys!"

Subsequently, Zhu Ying, along with Chen Jing from the Ministry of Personnel, Tang Duo from the Ministry of War, and others, also made their own plans.
Finally, Zhu Ying addressed his ministers, saying, "This year, the Ming Dynasty's achievements will naturally be even more outstanding than last year. If we want to achieve this year's goals, everyone must work together."

"After this year ends, at the year's end, I will naturally continue to reward those who have made outstanding contributions. Those who have made outstanding contributions will still receive very generous rewards."

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, the officials in the Wenyuan Pavilion thanked him one after another: "Thank you, Your Highness the Imperial Grandson. We humbly request that Your Highness the Imperial Grandson, we will certainly do our utmost for the court!"

At last.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also gave a brief speech.

After slowly rising from the dragon throne, Zhu Yuanzhang declared in a resounding voice, "We will make the Ming army sweep across every corner of the world. Our three armies will surely defeat the enemy on the battlefield, thus demonstrating the dignity of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

All the generals responded in unison once again.
