Before Zhang Cheng came to this era, the Ming Empire at that time was in a very serious internal and external trouble. Centuries-old empires are dying.

The power of the military forces in the colonies and the major families is gradually evolving into a de facto local separatist power. The internal power of the state is being corroded little by little by those family consortia who are mercenary, have no concept of the country and the nation in their hearts, and only have their own interests and family interests.

At that time, most of the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty were brewing a mood of rebellion because of the reduced profits they had gained from the colonial activities carried out by the Ming Dynasty around the world. The court was full of agents from all walks of life and masters vying for power, and there were very few people who were really willing to do things for the country. Moreover, due to years of rigidity and large-scale infiltration of various forces in the army, its real strength is rapidly declining.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty at that time was very much in line with the image of a world empire that had begun to decline in an all-round way. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had actually begun to be empty, weak, and the national strength was declining.

Although the vast empire has struggled to maintain its former majesty, when the Germans have tried to test the truth with a tough attitude. They can only painfully expose everything about themselves to everyone's eyes.

The royal family wants to restore and regain their rights, the family consortium dares to do anything in pursuit of interests, even if it is a traitor, the internal bureaucrats compete for power and profit and do not care about everything in the country at all, and the military is rotten and old, like a zombie army. At that time, more than half of the main officials and generals in both the court and the army were over seventy years old. That's a terrifying number.

The main reason why countries would join the anti-Ming alliance without hesitation when there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves is that everyone has seen that the decline of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable. Because at this time, the Ming Dynasty was unable to solve its internal contradictions by conventional means, so it was impossible to concentrate on resisting the invasion of foreign enemies. Who would let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

In fact, if it weren't for the appearance of Zhang Cheng, if it weren't for Zhang Cheng's Ming Dynasty, who stabilized the situation in Italy at the critical juncture after the Germans forcibly took back the colony, it greatly shocked the countries that were about to move. The war probably broke out years ago.

When the male lion lay sick in the mud and struggled with the disease in his body, even the most timid hyena dared to step forward and challenge the majesty of the male lion.

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng, who was in crisis in all aspects, Daming would have found a large amount of gold from South Africa as the cornerstone of his revival. If it weren't for Zhang Cheng's unprecedented courage to sweep away the family consortium, interest groups, bureaucratic agents and even the royal family into the dustbin of history after inheriting the political power of the former Shoufu.

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng's advanced strategy and tactics and pointing out the right direction of progress. It is absolutely impossible for the Ming army to fight so smoothly in the war. Not much else, without Zhang Cheng's support, the advanced armored forces and the powerful army aviation continue to grow and develop. When Zhang Cheng first came to this era, the strength of the Ming army may have ended a year ago.

The army, which was dominated by artillery and cavalry, was full of connections and a group of old men who had spent their lives studying the tactics of the American war more than a hundred years ago, and it was impossible to defeat the anti-Ming alliance that had entered the mechanized era.

If there was no Zhang Cheng, it would have been the Ming cavalry that launched a suicidal charge towards the Allied armored clusters. The major cities of the Ming Dynasty were constantly subjected to heavy air raids by the Allied forces. The Ming navy will be tragically annihilated in naval battles again and again. Even, maybe Da Ming will eventually eat the ultimate weapon.

One person, change an era.

The arrival of Zhang Cheng changed the fate of the Ming Empire in this era. But maybe even Zhang Cheng himself wouldn't know that there was such a thing. The butterfly wing theory is embodied in this moment.

In fact, Zhang Cheng, who had returned to the imperial capital, was all in the mood of the European battlefield at this time, and he didn't pay much attention to the things that had long passed. Zhang Cheng, who was anxious to end the war, now had his eyes firmly fixed on the vast land of Central Europe. This will be the place where the fate of the battlefield will ultimately be decided.

For the Ming people of this era, their image of Central Europe was the vast Black Forest of Germany and the vast plains of Poland. As for the southern regions of Bohemia and Moravia, they were included in the scope of southern Europe because of the presence of the Carpathian Mountains.

In fact, in the minds of many Ming people, the Germans cut wood, and the Poles herded sheep and horses. Although there are many books that disseminate the current situation of these countries, in this era of very little information exchange, people who have not actually visited it will not understand what it is really like.

Lin Run'e, one of Zhang Cheng's celebrities, is someone who understands the local situation. At an early age, Lin followed her father to live in the distant colonial territory of Schleswig-Holstein. No one could have known at the time that the united Germans would rise to become a superpower in such a short period of time.

In just over a decade, the Germans have rapidly increased their strength from a regional power to a superpower that is enough for the Ming capital to look at. Its national cohesion and centripetal force are very strong, and its scientific research strength and production capacity, as well as the investment of the army and the people, are unprecedented.

Originally, Germany was very likely to grow into a powerful country, and they were able to gnaw a large piece of fat from the declining Ming Dynasty. However, the appearance of Zhang Cheng completely plunged the Germans into tragedy.

This was true not only of the Germans, but of all countries that joined the anti-Ming coalition. The Ming army suddenly became stronger, and defeated all the enemies with devastating power.

The nations were actually very shocked by the sudden strength of the Ming army. Before the war, they had been conducting intelligence infiltration and reconnaissance against the Ming Dynasty for many years. Almost all countries have come to the conclusion that the Ming is no longer the one who controls the world.

But it wasn't until the war really broke out that all the countries were stunned to find that the actual situation was completely different from the previous analysis of various departments!

Where is the Ming weakened, it is simply more powerful. The new tactics on which countries depend, armored forces, submarines, aviation units, etc. These new weapons, which were originally used as a killer weapon against the Ming Dynasty, were completely suppressed by the Ming Dynasty. These new weapons of the Ming Dynasty are even more advanced than them, and their numbers are even larger.

In this case, after Zhang Cheng integrated all the forces in the country, the defeat of the anti-Ming alliance was a logical thing.

......

"Do you remember your life in Germany?" The imperial capital, Zhang Cheng's official residence. Zhang Cheng, who was lying on the rattan chair, was eating fresh strawberries while asking Lin Run'e about Lin Run'e when he was a child.

Zhang Cheng, who returned to the imperial capital from the front, gave himself a vacation, leisurely enjoying the bright sunshine in spring and the tenderness and sweetness of his wife and concubine at home. Life is very laid-back.

This is also because he is on the winning side, and the advantage on the battlefield is very great. If he is on the side that is about to be defeated, it is like the Führer before the fall of Berlin in modern history. Not to mention the leisurely life, even going to see the sunshine has become a luxury.

"Of course, there are still impressions." Lin Run'e, who was sitting next to Zhang Cheng and picking up pure natural strawberries, stretched out her slender fingers to pick up a bright red strawberry and put it in Zhang Cheng's mouth who was lying on a rattan chair leisurely, "How many years have passed, how can you forget it?" ”

"Then tell me about the image of Germany." Zhang Cheng ate the strawberry and looked at Lin Run'e with some curiosity on the side with a look of memory on his face.

"I went to live in Germany with my family when I was very young." Lin Run'e sighed lightly: "Not long after I got there, my mother left. She wasn't used to life there at all. And I went to school there and grew up. Then my sister went to London, and then the Germans demanded to take back the colony, and then I met you. ”

"Hey." Thinking of the scene when they met in Hamburg, Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly and chuckled. At that time, he was just the most ordinary young man, where would he have thought that he would have the time when he would bring the whole world under one banner?

"Impressions." Lin Run'e frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Old-fashioned, meticulous and very rigorous, there are few times when you make mistakes." They are very good at doing things collaboratively. After a pause, he continued, "Also, the locals hate us very much and consider us invaders. ”

"Invaders?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, "This is really an appropriate adjective." ”

"You know what?" After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Our army is about to return to Germany. This time it's no longer just Holstein, I'm going to bring the whole of Germany under the banner of the Ming Dynasty's Sun, Moon and Golden Dragon. ”

"Oh." Lin Run'e didn't pay much attention to the war, and she didn't feel much emotion after hearing the news. However, she was still a little puzzled: "Why do you want to occupy such a large place?" Isn't the current land of Daming big enough? ”

Lin Yun'e did not understand what war meant, nor did she know how many people had paid in the war. For her thoughts, Zhang Cheng could only laugh. If it were the military or officials who said this kind of thing, then Zhang Cheng would definitely not let it go easily.

"Although the territory of the Ming Dynasty is very large, not an inch is superfluous." Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the blue sky, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I don't want to miss it no matter what." Therefore, I want to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the extreme. ”

"Where's the extreme?"

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land!" (To be continued.) )
