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

Inside the Wenyuan Pavilion, after announcing the establishment of the school, Zhu Ying immediately announced a second major event.

That is to promote Sinology.

Zhu Ying addressed the civil and military officials in a resounding voice: "Now, the Great Ming Empire has unified the world for several years, and although the world has been at peace for these years..."

"No war broke out, but this was mainly due to the efforts of the governors."

"In addition, Sinology also deserves credit."

“We have already established a national policy that all people in the territory of the Great Ming Empire must learn Chinese. Currently, most of the people in the vassal states have already done so.”

"However, there are still some foreign peoples who insist on using their own language, which is naturally unacceptable."

In Zhu Ying's view, if he wanted the rule of the Ming Empire to be remembered for generations, the first thing he needed to do was to achieve linguistic unification.

and so.

Zhu Ying decided to promote the Chinese language throughout the world.

In that case...

It would be easier to govern all the foreign peoples if they all spoke the same language and used the same script. Moreover, this would be a good opportunity to promote Chinese studies.

Only by achieving this cultural control could the Ming Empire fundamentally suppress foreign tribes.

"Your subject obeys!"

After Zhu Ying announced the plan to promote the Chinese language, all the civil and military officials in the Wenyuan Pavilion naturally accepted the order.

These Ming Dynasty officials were well aware of the importance of promoting the Chinese language.

and so.

When these officials heard what Zhu Ying said, they immediately responded.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, addressed his officials: "In recent years, the Ming Empire has developed rapidly, and I am very satisfied. In the coming period, you all must continue to work hard!"

"The development of the Ming Empire is a long-term endeavor; we must not slacken our efforts!"

"We can tell you that it won't be long before the Ming Empire faces an even more brutal test."

"so!"

"During this period, the Ming Empire will see a significant boost in both its military and commerce!"

"The challenges ahead will be even greater!!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking...

In a short time.

All the civil and military officials responded without hesitation.

"Your subject obeys!"

……

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang had instructed, the Ming Empire began a period of rapid development in the following period.

Suddenly, it dawned on me.

Ten years have passed.

It can be said that during these ten years, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has been comprehensively improved.

It's not just the military that has improved; there have also been significant advancements in domestic affairs and commerce.

now.

After a full decade of rapid development, the capital city of the Ming Dynasty is now five times larger than before!
and.

Both the population and the number of people involved in urban construction have increased significantly compared to ten years ago.

Especially this Beijing train station.

During these ten years, the Imperial Capital Railway Station was rebuilt twice, and it was basically expanded every five years.

The current Beijing Railway Station has a building area that is more than ten times larger than before!
Despite this, the flow of people at the Beijing Railway Station is still quite large.

Look around.

It was almost a sea of ​​people.

A dense crowd was walking slowly.

The railway station in the capital of the Ming Dynasty has now become the transportation hub of the Ming Empire, and people from all over the Ming Empire come here every day.

People in distant Western, Southern, and Northern states have come to regard the capital city as a sacred place.

It is no exaggeration to say that the only wish of these people in their lives is to go to the capital and see the magnificence of the city.

Therefore, at this very moment, people of different skin colors can be seen everywhere in the entire capital's train station.

However, the only thing they have in common is that they all speak Chinese.

Despite having some local accents, there were no problems with normal communication between people.

"Is this the train station in the capital of our Great Ming Empire? It's absolutely enormous!"

"Yes, I've never seen such a big train station before. It's truly magnificent!"

"This capital city truly lives up to its reputation as the capital of the Ming Empire; it is incredibly prosperous as far as the eye can see!"

"Long live the Great Ming Empire! To be a citizen of the Great Ming Empire is truly a blessing from my past life!"

"Look at these train carriages, they're much more spacious than the trains back home!"

"It is said that the train station in this capital city is the largest in the world, bar none!"

"I never imagined there would be so many people traveling by train, and of all skin colors! It's incredible!"

These people, who were visiting the capital city for the first time, were immediately stunned by the sight before them.

Most of them came from the distant Western Continent, or even the Southern Continent.

Especially these foreign people from the Southern Continent, after arriving in this imperial capital, were filled with curiosity about everything.

Despite the rapid development of Nanzhou in recent years.

The Ming Dynasty mobilized considerable manpower and resources to build numerous railways and water conservancy facilities in the southern continent to alleviate its drought.

It can be said that the development of Nanzhou has also ushered in a moment of rapid progress.

However, these people from the Southern Continent were still captivated by the sight before them when they saw the capital city.

This was the first time they had ever experienced such a bustling city.

Who are these people in martial arts uniforms?

"Yes, I noticed that too. There are many people from the Central Plains wearing blue Taoist robes in the Imperial Capital Railway Station!"

"It is said that they are all martial arts students who travel by train to the holy land of martial arts to train."

"These people are the best of our Great Ming Empire! Not only are they knowledgeable, but they are also physically strong!"

"That's great! I really want to be able to go to a martial arts holy land to cultivate, so that I'll have a chance to stand out from the crowd!"

The people of these southern continents were immediately drawn to the martial arts students.

These few years.

As the Ming Empire expanded its schools in the Central Plains, and these schools offered separate courses in martial arts and literature, a large number of people sent their children to these schools.

and.

The schools established by the imperial court were all free of charge, and the people did not need to pay for them.

Its purpose is to recruit a wide range of talents, and then select those who are good at martial arts through the school's training!
And this moment.

These young men in blue Taoist robes are martial arts geniuses from all over the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty!
at the same time.

Within the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, students gathered in droves, a sea of ​​people.

The location of the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy is right next to the Imperial Capital Railway Station, and the academy itself is quite large.

It is almost identical to the nearby Imperial Capital Railway Station. This Imperial Capital Academy of the Ming Dynasty was built a few years ago.

Its purpose is to recruit martial arts geniuses who have achieved outstanding results from various universities.

Then they will come to the Imperial Academy in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a period of study, and then be selected.

Ultimately, only a select few are able to travel to this sacred martial arts land to receive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivate!
so.

In a sense, the Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty is the highest institution of martial arts in the Great Ming Dynasty!
It is the academy that every martial arts student dreams of!
And this moment.

On the grand stage of the academy, Liu Lei, the dean of the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, was dressed in a light yellow Taoist robe.

When the Great Ming Imperial Academy was established, Zhu Ying overruled objections and appointed his grandson, Liu Lei, as its dean.

In Zhu Ying's view.

The Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty is the highest institution of learning in the entire Great Ming Empire, encompassing almost all the most outstanding martial arts geniuses in the world.

Therefore, the dean of the Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty should naturally be someone he trusts the most.

finally.

After some deliberation, Zhu Ying decided to appoint Wang Wei as commander and Liu Lei as the new commander.

Of course.

Liu Lei's job is essentially a part-time position.

In reality, his primary responsibility was to command the Imperial Guard.

While busy with court affairs, Liu Lei naturally spent most of his time in the palace. However, whenever he had free time, he would immediately come to the academy to teach the ultimate martial arts techniques.

Today happens to be the day of enrollment for new students at the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, so Liu Lei, as the dean of the academy, naturally came in person.

In fact, after this period of cultivation, Liu Lei's cultivation level has improved quite rapidly.

now.

Liu Lei's cultivation level was almost at the peak of the Innate Realm.

He was only one step away from breaking through to the next level and entering the sect.

When Liu Lei slowly walked onto the podium of the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, the students below immediately fell silent.

then.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively to Liu Lei's speech.

"Today is the day the new class of students of the Great Ming Imperial Academy enrolls. Here, on behalf of His Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Imperial Grandson, I welcome the new students!"

After Liu Lei finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

then.

Liu Lei continued, "Today, in addition to the new student enrollment, there is also the eighth academy competition!"

"If anyone can achieve outstanding results in this eighth academy competition, they will have the opportunity to enter this sacred martial arts land for cultivation!"

"We hope that all students participating in the competition can perform at their best."

"As soon as Liu Lei finished speaking, the students below the stage erupted in deafening cheers."

at the same time.

In the guest area of ​​the Great Ming Empire Academy, many teachers from the academy were also waiting for the start of the academy's grand competition.

These teachers are all highly talented martial arts practitioners.

In fact, quite a few people have even reached the Martial Dao Innate Realm.

As the dean of the Great Ming Empire Academy, Liu Lei introduced the names of these teachers to the students. Then, Liu Lei suddenly held his breath and raised his voice.

"In addition, another important figure has come to the Great Ming Empire Academy this time. This person is the eldest son of His Highness the Emperor, His Highness the Heir Apparent, Zhu Wenxi!"

When Liu Lei read out Zhu Wenxi's name, the entire academy erupted in cheers once again.

They never expected that the renowned Zhu Wenxi would also be there in person.

As soon as Liu Lei uttered Zhu Wenxi's name, a pterosaur suddenly swooped down at high speed in the void above!

Immediately.

A gust of wind blew up.

As the pterosaur landed in the center of the platform, Zhu Wenxi jumped off its back.

Zhu Wenxi is now an adult, and he is exactly twenty-two years old this year!
His overall physique and appearance bear a striking resemblance to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Wenxi was dressed in the robes of an heir, and was surrounded by hundreds of imperial guards, making him appear quite imposing.

Upon seeing Zhu Wenxi's arrival, Liu Lei was the first to approach Zhu Wenxi and bow.

"Your subordinate Liu Lei greets Your Highness, may Your Highness live ten thousand years!"

Following Liu Lei's shout, teachers from other colleges, as well as some college officials, all bowed to Zhu Wenxi.

Zhu Wenxi replied in a loud voice, "Rise, all of you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

At that time, Zhu Wenxi had already been confirmed as the fourth successor of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Zhu Wenxi was Zhu Ying's eldest son and the one among Zhu Ying's many children whose personality and abilities were most like Zhu Ying's.

When Zhu Ying arrived at the square, the students below the stage were naturally very excited and shouted "Long live!"

"This student pays respects to Your Highness, may Your Highness live ten thousand years!"

On the large square, all the students immediately bowed to Zhu Wenxi.

Zhu Wenxi nodded slightly and continued, "Everyone, please rise."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

then.

Zhu Wenxi then addressed the many students before him: "Gentlemen, I have come to this Great Ming Empire Academy on behalf of my father."

“Originally, Father should have come in person on the first day of school, but recently he has been busy with court affairs and has been unable to take the time to come.”

"Therefore, I, Your Highness, have been summoned here."

"You are the best of the best from the great academies of the Central Plains, and you are also geniuses in martial arts cultivation. However, what I want to say is that outside of the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, there is no shortage of geniuses."

"To the new students, I hope that from the first day you enter the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, you will work hard to cultivate and strive to obtain the opportunity to go to the Holy Land for cultivation as soon as possible."

Although Zhu Wenxi is only twenty-two years old this year, his talent lies in politics, and Zhu Ying has taken the initiative to cultivate Zhu Wenxi's abilities in this area.

Therefore, Zhu Wenxi was not intimidated at all at that time.

In fact, Zhu Wenxi's words and actions even revealed a hint of imperial authority.

……

The newly enrolled students were also extremely excited after meeting Zhu Wenxi, the heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty.

Many students were also discussing it quietly.

"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, the air of an emperor is truly between his brows!"

"Of course! This young prince will surely become an outstanding emperor in the future!"

"It was truly worthwhile to meet His Highness today!"

"To be honest, the way this Crown Prince speaks and acts does resemble the Imperial Grandson quite a bit!"

On this square.

Zhu Wenxi raised his voice again and said, "I hereby declare that the Eighth Martial Arts Competition of the Great Ming Imperial Academy has officially begun!"
