The National Day of the 11th year of Jianwen was particularly lively and festive, and the General Administration Department published countless reports in a few days in a row, which was regarded as a celebration in the true sense of the whole world.

During the day, Zhu Yunwen presented medals to the military and political chiefs from various provinces, cabinet ministers in Beijing, and secretaries of various ministries in the Huagai Palace, but this large-scale award was not a civil and military medal, but a commemorative 'First Five-Year Commemorative Medal' to commemorate and commend all the honorees for their outstanding contributions in the First Five-Year Plan.

And after the end of the National Day, it means that the Ming Dynasty officially entered the 'Second Five-Year Plan', and the military and political chiefs of the provinces began to leave Beijing one after another.

At the same time, there are also the newly appointed Moting Sandu household chiefs, respectively, the former southwest mountain army hundred households, the loyal Yibo Liu Zheng who defended Xianzi Pass, since the first battle of the sword and Mengmeng, the latter was left in the Beijing camp, although these years are not as dazzling as the Ma army, but it can be regarded as a steady promotion step by step, until the official arrived at Zheng Erpin and awarded the rank of dragon and tiger general, the commander of a division of the Beijing army battalion.

The other two are Geng Xuan, the youngest son of Geng Bingwen, the marquis of Changxing, recommended by the Fifth Military Government, and Yang Rong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Ministers recommended by the cabinet.

The new three protectors are so decided.

As for the three of the last session, Zhu Gaoxu was following Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, to inspect Hetai, Song Sheng died of illness, Xu Yuhe was still two years away from the Spring and Autumn Festival, and there was no suitable vacancy in the center for him.

In the mighty crowd of people leaving Beijing, there were more than a dozen heroic generals and soldiers in the ranks of Yunnan.

Ma Dajun, who had been refrigerated in Nanjing for nearly two years, was finally able to leave here.

Although the rank of commander of Yunnan was not restored, the emperor gave Ma Dajun a higher military rank.

The governor of the Western Army, the right governor.

From this moment on, Ma Dajun can be regarded as a first-class product.

"This time you return to the southwest, you are going to organize a large-scale battle, because I feel that the glory of the so-called Sultan of North Delhi should no longer exist in that land."

This time, Ma Dajun went to the southwest, and the first task was no longer to plunder, but to destroy the country!

Therefore, in this third battle of the Indian conquest, the support of the imperial court was also the greatest.

At the same time, the provincial armies under the capital divisions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangxi provinces also began to mobilize, and in addition to the 100,000 regular troops in Yunnan, it was planned to mobilize another 100,000 to attack India.

In addition to the military investment of the Ming Dynasty itself, Zhu Yunwen of the six southwestern countries also wrote an edict, asking the six countries to organize a coalition army with a greater number than the previous two times, at least not less than 300,000.

500,000 combined troops, wipe out Delhi in one battle!

"How can this battle be so big?"

At the beginning, Zhu Di was shocked when he heard that the emperor was going to launch a war of annihilation on such a grand scale.

"There is still a war going on in the northwest, and the scale in the southwest is so large, and the pressure on the two places to use troops at the same time is too great."

At this point, Xia Yuanji's own budget is an extra batch of 20 million, and now it is good, more than doubled.

"It's because the northwest is at war that I decided to let the southwest fight a big one."

The uncle and nephew walked back and forth in the hall of the General Staff Headquarters, and dozens of staff officers followed behind, holding countless small flags and army models in their hands.

"The military report sent by the sixth uncle before, the scouts have begun to detect the traces of the Timurid Khanate's rangers, it is estimated that it will not be long before they collide, and it is impossible for the Timurid Khanate to sit and watch us eat Chagatai, and the western expedition will directly threaten Samarkand."

His eyes moved south from the Tianshan Mountains to India, and Zhu Yunwen's finger pointed at Delhi, and then moved north.

"What's the name of this place?"

"Khyber Pass, Hindu Kush."

A staff officer who was familiar with the geography of the southwest opened his mouth, and Zhu Di understood Zhu Yunwen's plan.

"Your Majesty wants that after the army enters Delhi, it will turn north, go north along the Hindu Kush Mountains to Kabul, and then join up with the Northwest Army of Lao Liu, and eat Samarkand in one bite?"

This is really terrifying, the emperor's appetite is so big?

Zhu Yunwen did not respond positively to Zhu Di's question, but said.

"I happened to collect and read some Mongolian history a few days ago, this road was traveled by Temujin when he pursued Muhammad V's son Zalanda, and when Ma Dajun reported to the General Staff what he had seen in the southwest, he also said that more than ten years ago, Timur's cripple also fought with the North Delhi Sultanate, and Timur's army also took this road at that time, all the way to Delhi, and almost completely annihilated the coalition forces of the Delhi Sultanate.

It can be seen that this road is such an important military artery, we have to hold this southern Silk Road in our hands, it does not matter whether we go north in the future or not, the important thing is that we need to seize the initiative in the war. ”

Although the Sultanate of North Delhi was founded by the descendants of the Turkic military aristocracy, and Timur is the family, but people would rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix, and the Sultanate of North Delhi stepped on the heads of tens of millions of Indian slaves, and suddenly felt that he was so good that he didn't need to listen to the command of others, so he didn't plan to continue to give Timur face.

Well, as a result, he was tortured by a lame wolf, and the first thing Sultan Mahmud did to succeed him was to kneel at the feet of Timur and wag his tail.

"The Gangetic Plain, where Delhi is located, is a good place, this land extends south to Bahmani and South India, where tens of millions of people live, with inexhaustible manpower, and it is also a huge granary, if we want to occupy this land for hundreds or even permanently, we must master this military artery, so as to contain the external threat of the Timurid Khanate in the future.

That's why I'm determined to launch such a large-scale campaign to conquer the southwest this time, and after the destruction of the North Delhi Sultanate, even if I can't destroy the scattered countries in South India for a while, I must at least achieve absolute control over North India and the Gangetic Plain. ”

The domestic conditions have basically matured, the Second Five-Year Plan has begun to move forward, and the foreign colonial policy in Zhu Yunwen's heart has also reached the time to be implemented.

Looking around the entire Ming Dynasty, is there a territory more suitable for colonization than India?

This is the cornerstone of the John Bull Empire.

From the Sultanate of North Delhi to the Mughals, and then to the sun never sets, the people of this land have been accustomed to making leeks for thousands of years, they will not resist, they do not like to rebel, they are willing to be good babies, serfs, partial birth, and so close to the Ming Dynasty.

It's a gift from heaven.

According to the report of the East India Company, more than eighty percent of all the means of production in India were transported back to John Bull by sea, so that John Bull could freely develop the industrial revolution, build factories, develop military industry and financial industry.

The local people don't even have to put in much hard labor, and they can live in a relaxed environment with a very low cost of living.

With the increase in the number of local workers and the gradual relaxation of the living environment, it naturally extends to all corners of society, and more importantly, it makes the progress of education, because more and more local nationals can receive education in China safely and comfortably, behind these children reading and learning in bright classrooms, is the blood and sweat of countless Indian serfs, and these children will devote themselves to scientific research after completing their studies, invent more and more powerful weapons of destruction, and continue to exploit and suppress the countless colonies overseas.

This is the cycle of goodness.

What is the theme of Daming's Second Five-Year Plan?

First of all, we should help the people of Daming to achieve food and clothing, so that people will no longer die of hunger in the northwest and southwest regions, and the quality of life of the people in the eastern coastal areas and Zhili areas should be improved.

In addition to finding a way at home, plunder and foreign colonization are the fastest shortcuts.

Even, the results of one year of foreign colonization far exceeded the three years of development and accumulation at home.

This is Zhu Yunwen's political purpose, and the only way to achieve this goal is to wage war!

And, it's a large-scale war.

Relying on such a small-scale small fight in the past, the act of capturing laborers is no longer possible, and Zhu Yunwen must launch a large-scale war of annihilation of the country, destroy all the original ruling classes in that land in one war, and support a new spokesperson.

"I don't know how to command a war, I am only responsible for setting goals, and how to achieve this goal will have to work hard for the fourth uncle."

The uncle and nephew have a clear division of labor, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, is responsible for controlling and guiding the general direction, Zhu Di is responsible for formulating specific plans, and Ma Dajun is the implementer of the plan.

"If you want to achieve Your Majesty's goal, then it seems that this battle really has to be fought, and it must be resolved quickly."

Zhu Di muttered: "Once it drags on for a long time, the high annual financial and military budget will increase the pressure on domestic construction a lot. ”

The two men reached an agreement, and soon a decree and military order with the seals of the two arrived at the cabinet and the southwest.

And this edict signed by Zhu Yunwen became the first milestone in the establishment of the 'Great Empire System' by the Ming Dynasty.

It marks the first step of the Ming Dynasty's foreign colonization, and officially stepped out in the eleventh year of Jianwen!
