After several months of preparations, the Daming Academy of Sciences was finally announced, and a large number of craftsmen who originally belonged to the Ministry of Industry were spun off and transformed into new names: 'Scientists'.

Also on this day, although Zhu Yunwen did not arrive, an edict with the seal of the Marquis of Mo Chengxing and a first-class medal of ingenuity were sent over, which was enough to make the already festive atmosphere much warmer.

And what really ignited the scene and shocked the entire Daming Academy and even all the people who watched the ceremony was a sentence written by Zhu Yunwen himself.

"Warriors of the Nation"!

The glory brought by this affirmation made Mo Cheng the first person in the Jianwen Dynasty to enjoy this reputation.

Wen to Yang Shiqi, Wu to Zhu Di.

These two people have never been affirmed by Zhu Yunwen with these four words.

Mo Cheng almost cried on the spot.

What is a trick and what is a sideline?

In the past, there was a cloud that 'you treat me as a countryman, and I will repay me as a countryman', Mo Cheng packed up his mood and decided to go all out to devote himself to the research and development of improved steam engines.

"Do everything you can to overcome all difficulties and realize the replacement of war horses with steam as soon as possible and push the chariot."

The question that Zhu Yunwen asked in Shanxi at the beginning, and the idea that he earnestly thought about became Mo Cheng's goal, which was the only reward that the latter was determined to think of for Zhu Yunwen so much.

And for Zhu Yunwen, he really didn't want to see this return.

The idea of unifying the whole world was only remembered by Zhu Yunwen more than ten years ago, and now he is more pragmatic, and he also knows that putting Daming on the right path, based on the correct system, hundreds of years later, his descendants can be realized, and it is not so important whether he can see it or not.

I don't want to unify the whole world, but at least Minglian encompasses the whole of Asia, which is the goal that Zhu Yunwen has set for himself in this life.

What Temujin was almost able to do, Zhu Yunwen believed that he would be able to do it too.

And the only obstacle in front of the eyes of the Ming Dynasty was only one Timurid Khanate.

"Corresponding supply base stations have been built around the Arab ports to provide material support to up to 20,000 troops."

With the ocean-going trade fleet rushing to Doha in Nanjing, he met Zhu Yunwen again.

"Good work."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a smile, and looked sideways at Zheng He, who was sitting opposite Doha: "In this way, my Daming fleet will soon be able to set sail and go to the ocean." ”

Both of them were very happy, but Doha was obviously not in the mood to care about this matter, he was more concerned about the gold promised by Zhu Yunwen.

"Rest assured, my treasury is ready, and you can send someone to deliver it at any time."

Doha, who received this reply, instantly smiled, and some couldn't sit still and wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Zhu Yunwen shouted at him.

"I have another deal, I don't know if you're interested."

Doha's body froze, and a smile squeezed out of his face: "Your Majesty, Honorable Emperor, if it is still for the sake of conquering the Timurid Khanate, please forgive me and the Arab tribes for being really powerless." ”

"No, no, no."

Zhu Yunwen shook his hand and raised his head lightly to look at Doha: "My Minglian, there are millions of troops, a small Timur, I don't need your support."

I wonder what the situation has been in the Timurid Khanate in the past two years, and what Shaharu has been busy doing.

I am willing to pay 10,000 catties of gold in exchange for this information. ”

10,000 catties of gold is only exchanged for one piece of intelligence.

This is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

Doha's eyes were filled with greed and heartbeat, and although there was still a hint of hesitation, it quickly disappeared.

"The situation in the Timurid Khanate is very chaotic at the moment, and the extremely high taxes have caused several western city-states to become independent, and even our Arab merchants are now unable to reach Samarkand smoothly.

Also, at the end of last year, Shah Ruh wanted to buy 20,000 mature Mamluks from us, but this amount was too large and we only provided a quarter.

At the beginning of the year, the slave trade between Northern Afria and Eastern Europe was intensive, and Shah Ruu bought not only slaves, but also nearly 10,000 horses from several other great Arab merchants. ”

This information made Zhu Yunwen's smile even brighter: "I am very satisfied with this information, I will approve the slip of 10,000 catties of gold and you can take it away." ”

"Your Majesty, Great Emperor, I am impressed by your generosity and wealth."

There is money to be made, and Doha laughs even more flatteringly.

As soon as he got Zhu Yunwen's approval, Doha got up again to say goodbye, and he was about to leave happily.

"Zheng He will send it for me."

Hearing this, Zheng He understood in his heart that the emperor was also issuing an expulsion order to himself, so he immediately retired and accompanied Doha to leave the palace.

Seeing the two leave, Zhu Yunwen immediately summoned Zhu Di and said straight to the point.

"The time is ripe for a full-scale attack on the Timurid Khanate."

The latter would have wondered what the reason for the emperor's urgent summons was, which surprised him.

Seeing that Zhu Di didn't quite understand, Zhu Yunwen repeated the original information provided by Doha just now, and then added his own analysis: "Buying slaves and war horses is to supplement the strength of the army, but I asked Doha before, Timur generally buys slaves as teenagers, and buys them back to cultivate and baptize them by themselves."

This time, Shaharu chose to directly buy a slave army that was already relatively mature and could be directly put into battle as an instant combat force, indicating that the foundation of the country left by his father was already unstable.

Shaharu needed an army to suppress rebellions in the local city-states and liquidate opposition forces that were unwilling to pay high taxes.

Internal troubles have already appeared, and if they face external troubles, the military strength that Shaharu can deal with will be greatly reduced. ”

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

The fighter has come, and what Daming needs to do is to firmly grasp this fighter and turn the fighter into a successful result.

"This map is the territory map of my Ming Dynasty."

The two of them moved in the ring hall of the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yunwen stopped in front of the Ming Territory Map, and a baton made of jade was pointed at the piece of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"Without this, I always feel empty in my heart, recovering the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it's time for the Western Regions to come back."

Although the Ming Dynasty never sent an army or an official to Uszang, and there has always been complete autonomy, in the end, every king was knighted at the feet of Zhu Yunwen and received the edict.

Nominally, Usizang will always be the Usizang of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not difficult to solve the problem of East Chagatai."

Zhu Di already had a draft about this: "If it weren't for Shaharu's strong intervention back then, the sixth child would have killed him long ago." Once the Northwest Group Army leaves the Hexi Corridor, it will be invincible along the way.

At present, the military restructuring of several countries in the southwest Ming Union is about to be completed, and Ma Dajun has four or five hundred thousand young troops from various countries in his hands, and he will first defeat Kabul, cut off the support of the southeast economic center of the Timurid Khanate, and attack each other, plus the rebellion of their western city-states, this battle can also be fought and strive for a complete victory. ”

"When it comes to commanding the battle, the fourth uncle will make his own decisions."

Zhu Yunwen didn't plan to discuss with Zhu Di about commanding the war, he didn't have this level at all, so he simply started to be the shopkeeper, but asked Zhu Di such a question.

"Fourth uncle, you said that I plan to convert the Timurid Khanate to Hinduism, do you think there is hope?"

If you want to include the Timurid Khanate in the Minglian system, the first step is to change the religious beliefs of the Timurid Khanate.

This question made Zhu Di a little unexpected, and he didn't know how to answer after thinking about it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know much about this, and it's not easy to say it for a while."

Zhu Di does not believe in religion, how do you know whether it is difficult for a believer to change the belief of a religion.

"When the fourth uncle issued a military order to Ma Dajun, try every inch of land he captured, and see how many people are willing to convert to Hinduism."

Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Di realized it for the first time.

Sent to Ma Dajun?

What kind of person is Ma Dajun, that is, a complete butcher, forty Turkic aristocratic families in India, except for those who surrendered, how can there be a living person.

This military order was sent to this person, what good will happen to those who are unwilling to change their faith?

The so-called gold-iron doctrine put forward by Zhu Yunwen in the cabinet many times follows a basic criterion.

Let's talk about it first, we can't talk about it before we fight, and if we can't accept it, we will kill it.

But how to talk about it specifically, and what to talk about, is naturally up to the Ming Dynasty.

"Cessing Samarkand and Kabul to the Ming Dynasty, and changing the religion of the Timurid Khanate to Hinduism are the basis for peace talks, and if Shahru does not agree to these two things, then it must be fought until he agrees."

Zhu Yunwen continued to walk with his hands in his hands, and Zhu Di followed beside him, echoing.

"The ports of Arabia are ready, Zheng He will soon go to the West again, and before he returns, I will have to solve this stumbling block between East and West, and lay a solid foundation for the reopening and even construction of a smoother new Silk Road."

Zhu Yunwen didn't care about war, and he never cared about war, but the political goal he wanted to achieve needed the assistance of war.

"The minister will immediately go down and draw up a battle plan."

Zhu Di didn't stay long, he immediately hugged his fists and retreated, Zhu Yunwen sent two steps to the palace gate, and after a few more words, he watched Zhu Di leave.

turned around, frowned and walked to the huge sand table in the hall, Shuangxi followed and didn't understand what Zhu Yunwen was looking at.

Not long after reading it, a small eunuch walked in from outside the hall to report the news.

"Your Majesty, Yongcheng Marquis Xue Ke asks to see you."

The former commander of the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Division, and the current commander-in-chief of the Ming Alliance's navy.

Zhu Yunwen looked up and was stunned for a moment, and then hooked his hand: "Let him come over." ”

Not long after the little eunuch left, Xue Ke, who was dressed in a military attache robe, hurriedly walked in, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were sharp, and he saw a letter in Xue Ke's hand at a glance.

Two red feathers are inserted, which is for four hundred miles of urgency.

When will Daming Maritime still be able to rush the situation?

"Your Majesty, a letter from Liang Daoyi of Palembang, he wants to build a country!"
