Three months later.

November of the 28th year of the Hongwu reign.

The new year is approaching.

Inside the capital city, the atmosphere was bustling with activity. Looking around, one could see prison carts arriving one after another along the city's main roads.

However, these prison wagons were pulled by Triceratops.

The people imprisoned in the prison van were mostly royalty from Western countries, and even kings!

To be honest, the people of the capital city are already used to it.

After all, in the past two years, it was common to see kings and emperors who had been imprisoned being transported to the capital.

As for the Triceratops, the people of the Ming Dynasty were already used to it.

It's important to know that in addition to capturing carnivorous dinosaurs such as pterosaurs, velociraptors, and tyrannosaurus rex in the [Prehistoric World], the Ming Dynasty also captures docile dinosaurs.

For example, this Triceratops.

Although Triceratops is docile and unsuitable for warfare, its docile nature makes it more suitable as livestock.

now.

These Triceratops captured from the prehistoric world have been transported to the homes of ordinary people throughout the Ming Dynasty.

By employing these Triceratops to plow the fields, it can be said that Triceratops have gradually replaced cattle.

In addition, Ming Dynasty merchants had a special fondness for these docile triceratops, using them to transport goods, so triceratops caravans can now be seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Compared to the cattle, the Triceratops was larger, more enduranced, and most importantly, very docile and highly intelligent.

Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty all had a great fondness for Triceratops.

Some people even bought many Triceratops specifically for breeding purposes.

In addition, Triceratops can be found in workshops around the world. These workshops use Triceratops to transport goods to train stations in various places, and then trains transport the goods to their destinations.

It can be said that the Triceratops had been completely integrated into Ming society.

At first, the people of the Ming Dynasty were somewhat resistant and afraid of the Triceratops, but gradually, as they became more familiar with its nature, they also got used to it.

After all, the existence of Triceratops did indeed improve efficiency.

Most importantly, this Triceratops was a specialty of the Ming Dynasty!
Although pterosaurs, velociraptors, and tyrannosaurus rex had already been used in the army, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

However, the common people of the Ming Dynasty did not experience any benefits from the dinosaurs.

Now, with the continuous capture of docile dinosaurs such as Triceratops from the prehistoric world, the productivity of the people has indeed increased.

At the same time, the people of the Ming Dynasty also enjoyed the benefits brought by dinosaurs.

……

At this very moment, on the streets of the capital, the people were discussing among themselves as they watched the foreign kings and princes being escorted in.

"It seems our Great Ming Dynasty has won another victory! Another group of foreign kings have been escorted here!"

"Haven't you heard? Our Great Ming Empire has directly dispatched its navy and Winged Dragon Army to attack Western countries!"

"England and France have both become vassal states of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"These blond-haired barbarians absolutely deserved it! Who told them to threaten our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"I've heard that these Western countries want our Great Ming to stop its expansion. To be honest, their talk is really too naive!"

"I originally thought these Western countries were very powerful, but I didn't expect them to be so easily defeated!"

"Yes, this time our Ming Dynasty didn't even need to deploy the cavalry or mountain troops; we defeated them using only the Winged Dragon Army and the navy!"

"From now on, these Western countries will definitely not dare to oppose our Great Ming again!"

"The Ming Dynasty's achievements in foreign expansion this year are outstanding. It has destroyed so many countries. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely get better and better!"

"Can our Great Ming Dynasty now be called a golden age?"

"Of course! Throughout the entire history of the Han people, no dynasty has ever been as powerful as our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Dinosaurs, steam engines, banks, railways, and a powerful military... In recent years, our Ming Dynasty has developed too fast."

"I believe the Ming Dynasty will definitely get better and better!"

"I dare say that at the current pace of the Ming Dynasty's expansion, it probably won't be long before the entire world belongs to our Ming Dynasty!"

As the Ming Dynasty grew stronger and stronger, it conquered more and more countries, and a sense of pride arose in the hearts of every citizen.

This emotion was particularly intense after seeing foreign princes being escorted to the capital!
Furthermore, these people of the Ming Dynasty were full of hope for the future.

……

At this moment, in the Fengtian Hall.

Top of the stairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying, three generations of the Zhu family, sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the foreign royal family members who had been brought here.

among them.

The kings of France and England were deathly pale, their eyes revealing panic and fear.

After Guo Zhen and Feng Sheng led the Winged Dragon Army and navy to defeat France and England, the kings of those two countries were also escorted to the Ming Empire.

It should be noted that both France and England were extremely powerful countries in Europe, but they were helpless against the Ming Dynasty's navy and Winged Dragon Army!
The capital cities of London and Paris were both massacred by the Ming army!
now.

Kings Charles VI and Richard II were escorted to the Fengtian Hall. Both of them were terrified, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill them on the spot!
"Please spare our lives, Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! All the people of France will forever be loyal to the Ming Empire!" King Charles VI of France kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

After this battle, Charles VI fully realized the power of the Ming Empire.

He is very clear.

Even if all the Western countries united, they would be no match for the Ming Empire.

Upon seeing Charles VI begging for mercy, Richard II followed suit, immediately kowtowing to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying on the steps.

"Long live the Great Ming Empire! Long live the Emperor of the Great Ming! I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"

"England will forever support the Ming Empire!"

just.

No matter how much the two monarchs pleaded for mercy, it was all in vain.

Above the highest position.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two Western monarchs with a cold gaze and said expressionlessly, "Now you know to beg for mercy? Weren't you very powerful just a few months ago?"

"They actually dared to unite against our Great Ming Empire! They even dared to stop our Great Ming from expanding!"

"It's utterly ridiculous!"

When the accompanying personnel translated what Zhu Yuanzhang had said, both Charles VI and Richard II looked quite frightened.

"Please, Your Majesty, spare our lives! We were blind and dared not offend Your Majesty!" As King of France, Charles VI behaved quite humbly in the Fengtian Hall. After all...

At this point, he had no more bargaining chips left, and France was now completely occupied by the Ming army.

"Please, Your Majesty, spare my life! If you spare my life, I am willing to serve you like a slave!"

King Richard II of England hurriedly added, "I feel the same way! The Ming Empire is the Celestial Empire. We have overestimated ourselves and provoked Your Majesty, which is tantamount to courting death! Please spare our lives, Your Majesty!"

It can be said that both the monarchs of France and the King of England have personally experienced the formidable strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, France and England have now been occupied by the Ming army, and for these two former kings, all they want is to live out their remaining years.

After seeing how humble Charles VI and Richard II were, other members of the royal family naturally followed suit.

Immediately, dozens of royal family members also knelt down and kowtowed!

At this moment, Zhu Ying, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "France and England disregard the Ming Empire, and they deserve to die."

"If it weren't for the fact that our Great Ming Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, the people of France and England would probably have been slaughtered!"

"Today, I see that you are somewhat sensible and your attitude is relatively upright, so I will spare your dog lives."

Without a doubt, after Zhu Ying finished speaking, Charles VI, Richard II, and the rest of the royal family were all extremely excited!

At this moment.

They seemed to see hope for a new beginning.

Zhu Ying continued, "If you sincerely submit to the Ming Empire, you can live. Alternatively, I can send you back to the Western countries."

“You can even continue to be kings!”

Obviously.

When Zhu Ying finished speaking, the monarchs and members of the royal families of England and France were all stunned!

Some even found it hard to believe.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that none of the monarchs and royalty spoke, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "What? Are you all mute?!"

"Didn't you hear what our imperial grandson said?"

Instantly, Charles VI, Richard II, and the nobles responded, repeatedly kowtowing to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying to express their gratitude!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Highness!"

"From this day forward, France and England shall forever be loyal to the Ming Empire!"

"That's right! We would never dare to have any disloyalty! We will always obey the Great Ming Empire!"

Charles VI and Richard II expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

original.

These two monarchs were actually prepared to die, but now, everything has changed.

Deep down, they were naturally incredibly excited and thrilled!
just.

They were clearly celebrating too soon.

The main reason Zhu Ying chose to spare their lives was that England and France were too far away from the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming army has occupied these two countries, it will be very difficult to completely control them, and a large number of rebellions will definitely break out in the future.

and so.

Zhu Ying then decided to support a puppet regime.

Give Charles VI and Richard II another chance, and let these two monarchs help the Ming Dynasty manage France and England.

above the hall.

Whether they were members of the English royal family or princes of France, they all knelt down in gratitude, shouting slogans such as "Long live the Ming Empire" and "We will always be loyal to the Ming Empire."

However, Zhu Ying knew very well that some things were useless to just shout slogans.

We must resort to extreme measures!
And so.

Zhu Ying suddenly flicked his hand, and a bottle of pills appeared in his hand.

This elixir is called the Heart-Eating Pill.

As the name suggests, once an ordinary person uses this Heart-Devouring Pill, they will be completely controlled by Zhu Ying and become his puppet!
Both France and England are quite far from the Ming Empire, so the Heart-Eating Pill is necessary to completely control these two countries.

"Eat this bottle of pills. Everyone must take one." Zhu Ying handed the pills to the Imperial Guards, who then placed the Heart-Eating Pills in the hands of each prince and minister.

Of course, King Charles VI of France and King Richard II of England also had one.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is this?" Charles VI asked, his voice trembling slightly.
He knew very well that this elixir was definitely not a good thing, so he naturally dared not take it rashly.

"You don't need to worry about that."

Zhu Ying said coldly, "For you, this pill is a lifesaver. Now you only have two choices."

"The first option is to swallow this pill; the second option is to lose one's head."

"The choice is yours."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and immediately more than a hundred imperial guards surrounded the princes and nobles behind them, raising their swords!
Just as Zhu Ying just said.

If these noble families do not consume this Heart-Devouring Pill, their heads will roll immediately!
In an instant.

These nobles and royalty did not hesitate, even though they did not know what the elixir in their hands was supposed to do.

But... in order to save their lives, these nobles, as well as Charles VI and Richard II, quickly swallowed it!

As soon as the Heart-Eating Pill was swallowed, it began to take effect.

A powerful controlling force spread through the bodies of the two kings and the nobles.

In a short while.

The eyes of the King of France, the King of England, and these nobles all became empty.

It was as if they had lost their sense of self.

"Your subjects pay homage to Your Highness the Imperial Grandson! Long live Your Highness the Imperial Grandson!" Suddenly, all the nobles and kings who had consumed the Heart-Eating Pill knelt on the ground.

Shout "Long live Zhu Ying!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ying smiled slightly, knowing that the Heart-Eating Pill was beginning to take effect!
"Xiongying, are we really going to let them go back?" Zhu Biao asked with some concern.

In Zhu Biao's view, both France and England were too far away from the Ming Empire, and letting them go would likely be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

"Don't worry, Father. They just consumed a pill, the Heart-Eating Pill. From now on, these people will be loyal to the Great Ming Empire and will never betray us!"

"If they do anything against the will of the Ming Empire, it will cause them excruciating pain, a pain that ordinary people absolutely cannot bear."

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao heard Zhu Ying's explanation, they were both relieved.
