Text_Chapter 499 Holy War

After leaving the Temple of Heaven and returning to the normal process of the court, Zhu Youxiao did not show any abnormality, he still looked calm and dignified, now that he is getting older, his power is more powerful than before, and ordinary people standing in front of him are not panicking.

But now, he is like an ordinary person, with an ordinary face, which makes Liu Ruoyu, who has served him for almost his whole life, very surprised, and he doesn't understand what has happened in this short period of time, the emperor has changed so much.

However, Liu Ruoyu's intuition is very important, no one said it, but buried it deep in his heart, but secretly recorded it in the Zhizhong Chronicle he wrote, which brought a detailed historical material to future generations, and also made future generations speculate about Zhu Youxiao's life and experience.

Especially the changes before and after entering and leaving the headquarters of the Heavenly Emperor Temple, it is really too big, making people fascinated by this place that has long been annihilated, what secrets are buried in it.

The winter solstice dynasty of the ninth year of the Apocalypse will end slowly, in this year's statistics, the tax revenue of the Ming cabinet officially exceeded 100 million taels, and the net income of the inner government exceeded 50 million taels.

As soon as the court meeting on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to convene the five governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, as well as the Minister of the Inner Governor's Mansion and the Minister.

Looking at the ministers gathered together, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, I want to use troops in the Western Regions, what are your opinions?" ”

Although it was an inquiring tone, Zhu Youxiao did not wait for the other person's answer at all, but gave an order on his own.

"Sun Chengzong."

"The minister is here."

"In my name, a national mobilization order has been issued, all the city defense troops have been mobilized, and the militias in various places have also entered the training period, and they must be guaranteed to be pulled out at any time."

"Qi Jin."

"The end will be."

"Mobilize hussars, horsemen, iron cavalry, and cavalry of the Mongolian city defense army, and station troops on the border of Western Mongolia to wait for orders."

……….

A series of orders popped out of Zhu Youxiao's mouth, looking at his appearance of not being stuck, it was obvious that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he had already prepared a draft in his heart.

"Do you remember them all?" In the end, Zhu Youxiao ended his lecture with a big drink.

"Remembered." The crowd shouted in unison.

In the year 4247 of the Yanhuang calendar, the tenth year of the Apocalypse, on the eighteenth day of the first month, the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse issued the first national mobilization order, and then, all the provinces of the entire Ming Dynasty, including the six subject territories, all contributed to the opening of the largest battle since the Mongolian Western Expedition.

In the next six months, Qinghai Province and Western Mongolia almost became military stations, and countless troops from all over the country gathered here, ready to go.

The 350,000 field troops, nearly one million city defense troops, more than 100,000 United Nations troops, and almost 1.5 million troops are stationed here.

This time, Zhu Youxiao went out again and personally took command, Li Yuyu, Li Tao, Li Tu, Man Gui, Li Yan, Li Zicheng, Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui and countless other generals gathered and will shine in the world.

In this extremely busy situation, the Navy is also in full swing to prepare, ready to launch support for the Army at any time. Of course, the final battle plan is known only to senior officers, so no one else knows what exactly the Navy is up to, and can only guess.

On July 15, the day of the opening of the legendary ghost gate, the Zhongyuan Festival of Taoism and the Yulan Festival of Buddhism, Zhu Youxiao swore in Qinghai. The grand scene is really a flag covering the sun, and the whip is broken.

This kind of large-scale war can only hide from the Westerners overseas, and it cannot hide from the Moxi Mongolia, which is on the same land. The exchange of countless businessmen has made the concealment of information empty.

In the face of the Ming Kingdom's all-out attack, Moxi Mongolia, that is, the tile thorn, of course, intercepted it with all its might, the entire tribe can really be said to be a soldier, all those over the age of twelve were armed, and even many strong women were issued bows, arrows, knives and guns, and incorporated into the army.

It's just that in this case, the entire Moxi Mongolia only made up 500,000 troops, which cannot be compared with the 1.5 million of the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of the swarming Ming soldiers, the entire Moxi Mongol only lasted for three months before it was completely defeated and the entire tribe was annexed. In this war, the Jurchen tribe of Huang Taiji did not play much role, but only acted as the vanguard at the beginning, and then it was not much use anymore.

After defeating the Moxi Mongols, the Jurchen tribes, under great pressure, once again traveled westward, this time with a very peculiar goal, to the end of the land until they saw the sea.

Such a task made Huang Taiji smack his tongue and his face was full of bitterness, but he had to carry it out.

Subsequently, Zhu Youxiao's army did not return to China, but used the Western Regions as a logistics transit station, and once again began his great cause of conquest, with 1.5 million soldiers divided into three routes, all the way along the place where the Jurchens passed, to the west, all the way to the southwest, all the way to the west.

Zhu Youxiao led a large army to the west, and his goal was India.

For most of the following half a year, including the eleventh and twelfth years of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao fought endlessly abroad, and India, Arabia, and Persia were all captured by him one after another, until he drove the Jurchens to the Mediterranean coast.

Such a huge battle shook the whole world, the whole Western world was shocked, and countless countries were so frightened that they went around in tandem to discuss how to deal with the yellow peril that came again.

In the end, the result of discussion and discussion was that the major maritime empires decided to come to a large assembly attack from the sea, and the Ming Dynasty's military advantage on land was too great, and the army of more than one million could not be taken out of killing this country.

In this case, Zhu Youxiao took the lead and used 1,000 cruisers and battleships as the main force to masse and attack the Westerner forces on many islands in the South Seas.

At the same time, countless soldiers also poured out from the Indochina Peninsula, all the way down the river, capturing Manchurian, and the Westerners who were cut off from the back road could only flee to the Pacific Ocean and go to the Americas, giving up the South Seas to others.

After occupying Manchurian, Zhu Youxiao was not afraid of the joint attack of the Westerners, and countless artillery batteries were densely arranged, enveloping the entire narrow channel, and no ship could think of passing through.

In the end, the two sides could only carry out in the Indian Ocean, but although the fleet was not an opponent of the Westerners in terms of numbers and experience, the Western countries that were harassed by the army from time to time in various coastal ports could not completely defeat the Ming Dynasty.

The place of peace between the two sides was in Constantinople, where the low score of later Turkey happened to be the chassis occupied by the Jurchens, bordering the Mediterranean Sea and close to the frontier area of the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty, so peace was negotiated again.

After fierce peace talks and even military threats, the two sides finally reached a territorial agreement with great difficulty after three months. On land, from the Jurchen tribe, who occupied the peninsula of Asia Minor and founded the Qing Dynasty, and then along the Caspian Sea, the Ural River, and the east of the Ural Mountains, were all spheres of influence of the Ming Dynasty.

On the map, basically, except for the Arabian Peninsula, the whole of Asia was shrouded by the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this shroud is only based on 1.5 million troops, and it is not known whether this effect will be achieved when these armies are withdrawn.

In these areas, the Ming Dynasty established a large number of subject states and territories, and put forward different requirements according to the different status of support. In the ocean, the advantage of the Ming Dynasty is not so obvious, despite the support of the land, but in the end it did not occupy the Red Sea, control the Strait of Hormuz, and the best result is only to control the Persian Gulf.

The Jurchens, on the other hand, gained a foothold in the chassis of Turkey in later generations and became the bridgehead and buffer zone of the Ming Dynasty, facing pressure and threats from Europe.

Of course, in the process, the actual territory of the Ming Dynasty also expanded, the entire Siberian Plateau, all the way to the Ural Mountains, basically the Asian territory of the later generations of cats and bears were encroached upon, and the southern end also encompassed the city of Broken Leaves, and expanded outward along the Himalayas.

The entire territory of the Ming Dynasty has basically expanded twice, although it has not much practical effect, and it can not even contribute taxes, and it has to pay a lot of financial expenditures, but when these lands are drawn on the map, it is really very good-looking.

When the peace talks ended, just when all the countries thought that they could take a breath and that the Ming Dynasty would withdraw their troops, Zhu Youxiao began the construction of overseas military bases.

It followed the example of the bases of the US military in Japan in later generations, and used the local government's finances to support its own army and carry out its own orders. In the end, only one million troops were withdrawn to the country, and about 500,000 troops remained in the Middle East, stationed there, and began the largest military system of the Metropolitan Governorate.

Later, the embassy system created by Zhu Youxiao also became popular in various places, and the Ministry of Rites sent ambassadors to be stationed in the capitals of the local subject territories, and the heads of the garrison and major generals combined with the ambassadors to support each other, controlling the military and political affairs of the subject countries, and maintaining the influence of the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of this situation, Tessie was powerless to change at all, and they barely managed to keep Europe from penetrating, at this time the navy had not yet reached its peak, the army still had great influence and decision-making ability, and the navy was not enough to control the life and death of a country.

It's just that the Taixi countries, which have a slight upper hand, can't stop the Ming from doing things from the Middle East, so they can only watch and barely hold on to their back garden - Africa.

When the war was over and everything was a foregone conclusion, Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who had been renamed the Duke of Xinguo, finally rushed back to Europe, bringing back not only a large number of European books and talents, but also countless envoys who had established diplomatic relations.

However, on the way back, they encountered a storm and eventually lost contact, and three months later, when everyone thought they had been buried at the bottom of the sea, the returning ship suddenly appeared in the Spice Islands and brought back news about a piece of the continent, and finally the Australian mainland was discovered.

And Zhu Youzhen, the Duke of Xinguo, also became the first imperial citizen to be crowned a monarch because of this great achievement, and the title, Xinling Jun, was a fief in the newly named Lizhou, and the fief was a hundred miles away. Subsequently, it was the reward for meritorious deeds in the global war, and the three generals and high-ranking officials in the army, such as Sanli, Sun Chengzong, Qi Jin, and Yu Zhigao, were also crowned kings with absolute merit.

After this scene, there was a craze for the discovery of the New World, and in the following ten years, New Zealand, North and South America, and other places that Tessy had not yet explored, Alaska and even the Bering Strait, were discovered, and as a result, twenty or thirty feudal families were born.

At this point, from the coast of America in the east, to the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the influence and national power of the entire Ming Dynasty have been rendered incomparably.

The steam engine and train invented in the 20th year of the Apocalypse pushed the Ming Dynasty to the prosperous era, which was an era of flowers and brocade, an era of incomparably noble Han people, and a Han dynasty that was so powerful that it was known as the world's first empire.

As a result, Zhu Youxiao had already determined his temple number in front of him - Ming Shengzu!

And the war he launched to put Daming on the throne of God was called a holy war by later generations.
