Ma Lu, Li Chengji, who returned to the palace, announced the westward expedition as soon as possible. The date was also set, just a month later. This resolute decision came as a surprise to many courtiers.

But when I think about it, I take it for granted.

After all, the reward is about to be conquered, and Li Chengji, as the master of Islam, has to witness this great moment in person. Moreover, the House of Elders has been determined, and the coronation ceremony of the caliph will be held in return to Lee Seungji.

So a month later, that is, in the first month of the third year of Yongxing, Li Chengji, under the protection of the Second Army of the Janissaries and the Guards, marched westward. The retribution was already under the siege of Dayuan, and the ammunition was exhausted. Even the caliphs in the city sent envoys to ask Li Chengji to surrender.

In this case, as soon as Li Chengji arrived, the entire city was occupied by Li Chengji without blood. Although the kingdom of the caliphate has long since fallen apart, as a reward for the capital, there are traces of the prosperous capital.

Lee Seung-gil was crowned in the palace of the caliph, and since then he has been the new co-ruler of the Muslim world.

In order to bring more joy to the coronation of Lee Seungji, the commander of the Persian army Timur Anli, who besieged the two important fortified cities of Damascus and Mosul, sent death squads to blow down two city walls in order to bring more joy to the coronation of Lee Seungji.

The Ayyubid Empire's strongholds in the valley of the two rivers have since been completely destroyed. Although there are still a few fish that have slipped through the net in the desert, in Dayuan's follow-up clean-up, they can't make big waves at all.

Taking advantage of the victory, after Li Chengji was crowned, he led the Janissaries and Guards to cross the Jordan River and enter the Sinai Peninsula. From here, the conquest of the remnants of the Ayyubid forces and the whole of North Africa continued.

Both the Egyptians and the Moors had to tremble at the feet of the Great Yuan army.

The crown prince of Cairo, Egypt, after being crowned king of the new Ayyubid kingdom, sent an army of 300,000 to meet the invading Yuan army. These include exiled armies that fled into Egypt from the Arabian Peninsula and the valley of the two rivers, and even mercenaries from Europe.

The two sides met at the Great Lake of Bitterness in the Sinai Peninsula, and without any formation, a contact battle began.

It's just that Da Yuan used a new weapon - a musket!

Rows and rows of soldiers from the Ayyubid kingdom fell one after another like wheat. And their footsteps are less than a foot. Even under the intensive firing of Dayuan muskets, the army retreated in panic.

In the end, the contact battle directly turned into a chase and escape war.

The chasing side is Da Yuan, and the fleeing side is the Ayyubid Kingdom.

And the rout of 300,000 people is an unstoppable torrent when it comes into action. Many of the Ayyubid kingdom's armies, which were still in the rear, were scattered by the rout that fled from the front. There are even quite a few, trampled alive to death.

The Yuan army followed behind unslowly. Run every once in a while to scare the lone people.

This also delayed Dayuan's arrival in Cairo City by five days. It was the arrival of reinforcements from the Persian and Khorasan legions that made the process of collecting the prisoners much faster.

By the time the Yuan army arrived in Cairo, this pearl standing on the banks of the Nile, an ancient city of six or seven hundred years, had already opened its doors. The remaining city guards captured the fleeing lord as soon as the strongest Maruluk army was defeated. As soon as the Yuan army arrived, they surrendered their prisoners.

This was a great achievement, and Li Chengji made him the governor of the province of Egypt, holding the administrative power of a province.

Such a high-ranking official immediately caused a chain reaction in the North African battlefield.

The local forces of Tripoli and Kairouan, which were close to Egypt, sent people to send a surrender table before the Yuan army arrived.

At this time, the flower blooms two branches, one for each branch. The great victory in the west is not over, and the good news from the east is coming frequently. The steppe was affected by the raid of the Great Yuan, and the three sons of Genghis Khan went their separate ways and did not obey each other. Especially with the third prince taking refuge in Dayuan, the eldest prince and the second prince were even more unconvinced.

The entire grassland was full of mutual attacks, and the Yuan army led by Li Chengye only gathered the population in the northern part of the Jin State and advanced southward, occupying Fengxiang County and Chang'an. This also opened up the trade route to the Song Kingdom and connected it to Hanzhong.

When the attack on the grassland was coming to an end, Li Chengye first ordered the beggars' troops where the various departments in the forest were located to attack from the north first. I don't want to just run into the trap of the Mongolian army. It turned out that the three princes had reached an agreement in private, that is, to expel the foreign enemy of Dayuan.

The entire beggar's department, which had grown up with great difficulty, was almost completely wiped out.

But this also allowed the Yuan army to escape!

Li Chengye issued an order to transfer troops through the Liangwang Mansion, and used the troops recruited from the Xia and Jin States to carry out a large-scale purge of the grasslands.

Whatever you see, whether it is a man or an animal, is your private property. Those who dare to resist will be killed.

After the Jin State was punctured by the Mongols to debunk the illusion of weakness, it was even more unable to muster the courage to resist in the face of the stronger Great Yuan. Therefore, he did not dare not accept Dayuan's order to send troops. Because in Datong City, there are still more than 200,000 troops.

Lee Seung-ji's opinion is to fight for a long time.

Using the soldiers and horses of the Xia and Jin countries and the grassland Zhao'an troops, they wiped out all the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian beggar tribe. I'd rather drag on the war for ten years than let go of even a single beggar.

And I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go. Even if a hundred people were killed by mistake, they couldn't let go of a real beggar from the tribe. Because this is the revelation given by Shengyu.

The Qiyan Department is the reincarnation of the Hell Demon, and all the forces of the Race must conquest the Qiyan Ministry.

In the fifth year of Yongxing, Dayuan crossed the strait that was not too wide and set foot on the Iberian Peninsula. At that time, the Arab forces on the island were dying under the siege of Christians. The arrival of Dayuan was immediately like timely rain. In a short time, the Arab forces were taken into use. And taking advantage of the victory, he attacked several Christian countries one after another.

It was not until all the enemy was driven out of the north of the Pyrenees that the borders were drawn with the Christian countries of the north.

In addition, to the east of the Mediterranean, after occupying the valley of the two rivers, the Great Yuan continued northward to accept the surrender of the small Seljuk states on the peninsula of Asia Minor and occupied Constantinople.

He also conquered Greece to the west, and set its borders with the Christians along the Thrace River. However, the Yuan army did not stay here for long, as the Great Yuan soon helped the descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire to restore the country. The capital is still Constantinople, but only symbolically. The Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire lived in Athens and did not have jurisdiction over Constantinople.

The one who can really call the shots is still Dayuan.

Although the descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire are worth studying, because the prince is from the harem of the Great Yuan, and the surname is still the national surname of the Great Yuan - Li. But Emperor Dayuan said what he said, and no one dared to put his beak on it.

In the eighth year of Yongxing of the Great Yuan, the Yuan army used troops on the Italian Peninsula, because Li Chengji said that the Yuan Hai could only be the Yuan Hai of the Great Yuan. This was vehemently refuted by the Pope, which led to the Seventh Crusade. Only this time, the crusaders were on the defensive.

And in the far east, years of scuffle fighting on the steppe have seriously weakened the national strength of the Jin and Xia kingdoms. After discussing with the cabinet, Li Chengji decided to abolish the position of the lord of the Xia State, and the third prince Li Zhao should succeed him. The land of Xia was changed to a province named Ningxia Province. Li Zhao, the ruler of the Xia State, concurrently served as the governor of Ningxia Province.

In addition, because the Jin State did not send troops to support the Yuan army's action to clear the northern grasslands, it caused a strong counterattack by the Great Yuan. In the ninth year of Yongxing, the lord of the Jin Kingdom moved the capital to Kaifeng. At that time, the Yuan army had completely pacified the grassland, and in accordance with the order of the Great Yuan Sage, the grassland army was built, which was led by King Liang.

Since then, it has carried the power of pacifying the grassland, like the momentum of thunder, to the south.

In March alone, the army came to Kaifeng. Under the formation of artillery, Kaifeng broke the city.

The Song State, which had seized the south of the Yangtze River, was so frightened by the thunder of the Great Yuan that it hurriedly sent a surrender table and was willing to accept the canonization of the Yuan army. Li Chengye did not dare to call the shots, so it was only decided by Li Chengji.

A month later, Da Yuan accepted the surrender of the Song State and agreed with the Song State to be the kingdom of father and son. Yuan Guo is the father, Song Guo is the son, and he married the princess of the Song State.

In the tenth year of Yongxing, the lord of the Yuan State issued a feudal decree, and from the east of the Green Mountains, the territory including the Tianshan Province, the Gansu Province, the former and later Tibetan provinces, and the Ningxia Province, as well as the grasslands and the land of the former Jin State, were all divided into the Liang King Li Chengye.

The country name is Ming, and it is a vassal of the Great Yuan.

In addition, the territory west of Persia, including Persia, was divided among the great princes and established the kingdom of Arabia. The eldest prince will inherit the title of caliph after the death of Lee Seung-ji.

To the north of Kipchak, it was divided into two princes and established the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Great Yuan retained only the territories of Khorasan, Broken Leaves, and the provinces of Gur and Sindh, which were inherited by the crown prince.

The many small islands in the sea were all given to other princes and princesses.

There are too many big yuans, and it is really inconvenient to rule. In this way, it can change the man-made disaster of brotherhood within at least three generations. And even if he can't keep it, then Li Chengji has no regrets. Anyway, within three generations, Dayuan's concept of a unified nation can be regarded as completely completed.

Time flies, at the end of the forty-second year of Yongxing, Li Chengji, who is already in his prime, returned to the territory of the Ming Kingdom. He received the current lord of the Ming Kingdom - Li Hongji, he is the sixth son of Li Chengye, the most intelligent, Li Chengji also saw several times when he was a child, and he was very fond of himself.

At this moment, the uncle and nephew went to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang together, because someone found that something strange had happened in the Mogao Grottoes recently, that is, the No. 42 Cave, which was not in the first place, actually appeared.

Li Hongji did not know the origin of Li Chengji, but only knew that Li Chengji was particularly concerned about the Mogao Grottoes. Even if the boundary of Dunhuang already belongs to the Ming Kingdom, Dunhuang still belongs to a special existence. There is a forbidden army directly under His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor all the year round, and they are on duty in the Mogao Grottoes.

"Hey! When your father was still alive, I rarely saw him. When it comes to your generation, don't be rusty, brothers. Cong'er is an upright person, but he is still a tough temper. There are some things that you may not be able to think about for a while, so don't be angry with him. Li Chengji persuaded with a smile.

The crown prince Li Mingcong attaches great importance to the general order, so he has a lot of complaints about Li Hongji, who succeeded to the throne. But after being scolded by Li Chengji a few times, Li Mingcong didn't dare to say more. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone a person with a special identity like Li Mingcong.

So Li Hongji's side must have known about it for a long time.

"No, uncle. Fifth brother is just angry, I won't take it seriously. Li Hongji diligently made tea for Li Chengji.

"Hmmm! You kid, I don't have to worry about it. To tell you the truth, I've always treated you like a son. Song Guo's affairs, you can do what you want! Li Chengji said very casually.

When the Ming Kingdom was in the hands of Li Chengye, it broke through the Dali Kingdom and changed it to Yunnan Province. And with the Song State to divide the river and rule, with the Yangtze River as the boundary. In this way, the two countries will be at peace. Until Li Hongji succeeded to the throne, friction with the Song State continued. Especially at sea, skirmishes between the two sides are constantly taking place. In the waters near Lin'an, you can often see the Ming ships of the Ming Kingdom.

The Song State has sent an envoy to Malu to complain, and Li Chengji has been pressing. Li Hongji listened to Li Chengji's words, immediately understood his consciousness, and responded with some excitement.

"There is also the route of the New World, which can actually be reached from the east. You don't want to be enthusiastic about opening up territory in the New World, in fact, from the east, you can also go to the new route. And just south of the South Seas, there is another continent - South China. There are also a lot of gold mines there, and there are very few natives. Don't you want to eat Song Guo? How do you arrange those Song State clans? Why don't you send them all to South China! If the people of the Song Kingdom are willing to follow, don't stop them. They stay in that wasteland, and they can only listen to you more. Li Chengji seemed to be opened into the chatterbox, as if he had recalled.

North and South America have been discovered, and although there is Li Chengji's guidance, the progress of Dayuan's navigation technology is also the main reason. Departing from Lisbon in the Kingdom of Arabia, it takes half a year to reach North America. The border tensions between the Arab kingdom and the Christians have now eased considerably, because the New World has benefited too much.

Da Yuan also participated in the interests of the New World, including the royal family and courtiers, all of whom organized fleets to harvest wealth in the New World.

The Ming Kingdom in the east can only watch dryly because of the distance.

Now that he learned that Dongfang could also go, Li Hongji immediately couldn't maintain a calm posture, and blushed with some excitement.

"Hmmm! To the east from Fuso, there will be a string of islands. After that archipelago, the New World is reached. As he spoke, the carriage had arrived at the Mogao Grottoes. Li Chengji didn't let others accompany him, and walked in alone.

As expected, new caves appeared in the Mogao Grottoes. It was like a being, and if it weren't for the strict guards of the Forbidden Army, it wouldn't have been able to detect that this cave was new. When Li Chengji entered, the Buddha statue looked serene, and the outline of his face was outrageously clear.

But at this time, the invisible ring on Zhou Ran's finger suddenly became hot. And the fingers of the Buddha statue are also shining brightly······
