Chapter 263: Northern Expedition and Northern Expedition

The embarrassment in Tabriz City also quickly spread to Mengzhou in the rear, and it is normal for this kind of thing to require a central decision, after all, Shi Xiu and Qin Fang are not generals, and they are far from being qualified to decide such a major matter.

Li Zhe was in Mengzhou, and when he received the message from the front, he did not make a direct decision, but walked to the edge of the giant world map hanging in the middle of the hall and watched it with his hands.

Unlike the two generals in front of him, he always needs to keep an eye on the overall situation.

On the map, the huge Tianzhu Peninsula is the center, and below is the huge Western Ocean (Indian Ocean), the territory of the Tianzhu land is open to the two wings, and then Manraka extends its tentacles to the periphery of the South Seas in the east, and the other side goes down from the Tianfang Peninsula, and the entire eastern Yanzhou is dyed red by the color of the land that represents Tianzhu.

From the South Sea in the east, the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the roof of the world in the north, and the South Pole in the south, a huge red empire surrounding the West is in the center of the map. A gigantic beast rises rapidly in the middle of the world, its violent eyes looking down on the entire surrounding continent.

Unconsciously, Tianzhu has swelled to such a point, and from the perspective of territory alone, it seems that the area has surpassed that of the Great Song Dynasty in the east of the mainland?

This time the Ilkhanate fell into his hands, which was also of great significance to Tianzhu. You only need to look up at the map to know that the Tianzhu territory is centered around the Western Ocean, and almost the entire Western Ocean has become an inland sea, the Red Sea, and the Tianfang Sea are the two inner lakes that stretch out from this inland sea, and the Ilkhanate is the only gap in the huge encirclement.

Swallowing the Ilkhanate now means that Tianzhu's circular territory has finally been closed, and from now on, no enemy can pass through the outer ring and enter the Western Ocean to threaten the interior of the empire.

And the entire Western Ocean has now become an exclusive fast passage within the empire, no matter where the enemy comes from, the empire's troops and supplies can be quickly deployed in that direction with the convenience of shipping.

That is to say, to this extent, no matter what scale of war in the future, Tianzhu is already strategically invincible, and geographically speaking, Tianzhu is no longer afraid of threats in any direction.

This battle seems to be easy, but it has laid the foundation for Tianzhu for eternity.

Compared with Tianzhu at this time, the former Roman, Arab, and Ottoman countries were far behind in terms of national strength and area.

And such an empire is the achievement of him Li Zhe! The sense of accomplishment is simply intoxicating!

The queen walked to Li Zhe's side at this time, and gently leaned on Li Zhe's shoulder, reveling in the great sense of accomplishment at this moment like Li Zhe.

Li Zhe's mood at the moment she could fully feel that for the ruler of a country, there was nothing more exciting than building such an empire with his own hands.

And now Tianzhu is still just rising, its potential is far from being released, the road ahead will be very long, it will have a fairly long period of growth and expansion, its two rulers are still very young, they are full of desire to conquer.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the swelling and beating ambition in each other's eyes.

So where will the empire's goals be placed next?

The process of this western expedition to the Ilkhanate was too smooth, in fact, it took almost no effort to take the entire Ilkhanate this time, it was like playing, and the western expeditionary army of less than 10,000 people was dispatched to take down such a vast territory, which made the Tianzhu government and the opposition fully aware of their own strength and the external strength of several khanates.

This was true of the Ilkhanate, but what about the old rival Chagatai Khanate?

The two of them looked from Tabriz in the southwestern corner of the Caspian Sea all the way to the north, and saw another name - Mashhad!

As the center of such an empire as Tianzhu, the port outside Mengzhou became more and more busy, with Tianfang merchants from Tianfang, Hu Nu from the two rivers of Persia, and Central Plains scholars from the homeland of the Central Plains in the east, red and black people from Yanzhou who came with a large number of ivory and diamonds, oh, originally the blacks were once called Kunlun slaves, but as the eastern Yanzhou entered the empire's sphere of influence, the elite among the blacks began to slowly appear in the Tianzhu society.

Mengzhou City has calmed down from the excitement of a few months ago.

The people of Mengzhou have slowly begun to adapt to the strength of their country, and from time to time news of victory comes from a certain border.

The onslaught of the victories of Manchraka had slowly subsided, and shiploads of supplies brought back from Manraka filled the warehouses in the port of Mengzhou. The market, which was boiling at the time, is now gradually back on track.

The dust has settled on a series of promotions and rewards in the DPRK, and the officials in various parts of Manraka have also been arranged, which means that this land has been initially eaten.

Duan Zhishen, the new general judge of the Mengzhou Mansion, the official residence is the fourth grade, with his age, being able to sit in this position is definitely among the best, but if someone looks at his background, I am afraid they will only think that this is the case.

Duan Zhishen was one of the first batch of henchmen who defected to Li Zhe with Fang Jueyuan back then, but because he belonged to a civil official, Li Zhe was a little beyond the reach of Li Zhe in this field, so he was not promoted quickly, compared to the famous Metropolitan Governor's Counselor, Hong Yanyan, who was promoted step by step by Li Zhe himself, was already a lot behind, which made him regret that he didn't directly enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at the beginning.

But even so, he has to be promoted much faster than those officials with ordinary backgrounds, you must know that only a little more than a year ago, he Duan Zhishen has not entered the officialdom.

To say that Duan Zhishen can get this position this time, he also has to go east to Manraka, the huge Manraka provides a large number of vacant positions for Tianzhu's officialdom, and when selecting officials a few months ago, there were almost no enough officials here.

All of a sudden, the talented people of all states and provinces were suddenly crammed into the officialdom to fill the vacant positions left by the turnover of officials.

The Tianzhu Mansion, which was originally overcrowded, suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The ascent channel of Tianzhu students opened up at once. The current situation is that almost a few years ago, the redundant officials and redundant officials of more than ten years ago have all been resolved, and everyone is happy.

In fact, the so-called prosperous era is roughly like this, as long as the resources in front of the big guy are sufficient, and everyone has no intention of fighting, such a court is naturally efficient, so why fight for life and death.

Duan Zhishen knew that with his intelligence, as long as he hugged the thigh above, he would naturally go straight all the way. It's just that as a talented person, I have a competitive and motivated heart in my heart.

"Northern Expedition, will you go Northern Expedition again this year?"

Looking at the official document sent down from his hand, his heart suddenly became hot.
