March of the forty-seventh year of Chongzhen.

Yan Yingyuan personally led the First Army of the Guards Army to the south by train, preparing to attack the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Vietnam and set out to recover Cochin.

The current First Guards Army is still an imperial ace army, and it is even a fully mechanized army.

The entire army group was equipped with fifty heavy artillery pieces, and in addition to a machine gun battalion in each corps, there was also a tank battalion.

Chariot Battalion Empire-made Mechanized Battalion.

Since the Fang Yizhi team of Daming Industrial School successfully developed the steam locomotive, the manufacture of the steam chariot has become possible.

And tracked combat vehicles were also successfully created.

The tracked chariot was still a steam chariot, weighing about 120 tons, with artillery and machine guns, and could carry 200 soldiers.

Although such a vehicle is still clumsy, it can also ensure the maximum defense of your side.

Because of the construction of the railway, the transportation of 150,000 troops was not very laborious, and a train of steam locomotives transported batches of Ming officers and soldiers and chariots to the Guangxi front.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of this year.

The Ming army then began a full-scale attack on the North Vietnamese.

In the dense rainforest, it was no longer the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty that rushed to the front, but the chariots.

The steam chariots raised their proud heads and crushed them, and the Ming infantry and cavalry and machine artillery followed closely behind, and arrived near Lao Cai in less than a month.

The Viet Cong Dynasty also immediately sent elephant soldiers to attack.

But no matter how tall the elephant is, it is no match for the steam chariot, and under the bombardment, the elephant was also directly killed.

And the army behind the Ming Dynasty also did not want to die, pouring artillery into the old street.

Soon, all the Vietnamese troops fighting in Lao Cai of the North Vietnamese Dynasty retreated.

The First Army of the Ming Guards successfully occupied Lao Cai, and then went south along the Red River, driving all the way straight into Anpei, Yuechi, and Yong'an.

In mid-June, Hanoi was successfully surrounded.

The North Vietnamese authorities were completely unable to react and immediately evacuated Hanoi and fled to Thanh Hoa.

At the end of June, the Ming Dynasty successfully occupied Hanoi.

At the beginning of July, the Ming Dynasty again entered Thanh Hoa and occupied Thanh Hoa within an hour, capturing hundreds of princes and ministers of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty and slaughtering the city of Thanh Hoa to punish the authorities of the Northern Vietnam Dynasty for their revenge against the plundering of the Ming merchant ships.

Then.

The First Army of the Ming Guards continued to pursue with victory.

Before December, it successively occupied the cities of Chao Vinh, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Dong Ha, Hue and other cities in Vietnam.

Meanwhile.

The Ming Nanyang Fleet also began to land in the north, and successively occupied Jinou, Jianjiang, Qianjiang, Pingyang and other cities.

June of the forty-eighth year of Chongzhen.

The First Army of the Ming Guards and the Marines of the Ming Nanyang Fleet met in Da Nang to recover the entire territory of Jiaochi.

Just one year and three months.

Jiaozhi returned to Da Ming's hands again.

The First Army of the Ming Guards took a short break in Da Nang and then attacked Siam in February of the following year.

In September of the 49th year of Chongzhen, he occupied the whole territory of Siam, and then in April of the 50th year, he occupied the whole territory of Burma, and then landed in Calcutta by sea and advanced along the Ganges River to India.

In March of the 52nd year of Chongzhen, the First Army of the Ming Guards occupied the entire territory of India and returned to the dynasty.

……

During this period.

Beginning in May of the 47th month of Chongzhen, the Second Army of the Ming Guards, under the leadership of Jiao Lian, set off from Xi'an by steam locomotive and arrived in Lanzhou, and officially prepared to recover the Hexi Corridor.

The second army is also an ace army.

Ten steam chariots marched on the vast steppe, and when they saw a large number of Mongol cavalry appear, they did not hesitate to run over them.

Tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen simply couldn't do anything with these ten steam chariots.

You can't hurt with a bow or arrow, and you can't cut with a knife.

But the artillery of the steam chariot can directly blow up a dozen of your horsemen, and a single machine gun fire can kill dozens of you in an instant.

Not to mention the powerful infantry and machine artillery in the back.

The Mongol cavalry was defeated.

In October of the forty-seventh year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Tumut Department and recovered Hamiwei.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty was restored to the fifteenth century again.

Next, the Ming Dynasty continued to attack westward, and in June of the 48th year of Chongzhen, it entered and occupied Yili Sholi.

Then, in May of the following year, the Second Guards Army, led by Jiao Lian, marched north into the Achili Haizi and along the Angqian River into the Siberian region

In January of the same year, the Third Army of the Ming Guards Army and the Mobei Local Army also entered the Central Siberian region on a large scale under the leadership of Chen Zilong, and both armies fought a decisive battle with the Cossack cavalry in the Siberian region.

The modern mechanical troops of the Ming Dynasty completely annihilated the invincible Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

In April of the 51st year of Chongzhen, when the snow had not completely stopped, the Second Army of the Guards Army and the Third Army of the Guards Army crossed the Ural River respectively, joined forces with Moscow in June of the following year, and occupied the entire territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the 53rd year of Chongzhen.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty successively set up the Governor of Siberia, the Governor of Hami, and the Governor of Mobei, and strictly ordered all armies to eradicate local infidels, and all the infidels were killed.

to the fifty-fifth year of Chongzhen.

The territory of the central court of the Ming Dynasty has expanded to Batavia in the south, the southern bank of the Arctic Ocean in the north, the city of Kiev along the Dnieper River in the west, and Hawaii in the east.

And this year, Zhu Youzhen was seventy-one years old.

His second empress, Yuan Guifei, had spent fifteen years with him.

this year.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu decided to abdicate after ten years, if he could do it for another ten years.

After all, he was so old that his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, and age spots could not be contained, crawling all over his sideburns.

And his favorite and youngest concubine has just turned twenty, and he will accompany others and this tender grass before leaving first.

And before he abdicates, he has several big things to do.

The first thing I saw was to gather all the civil and military generals who were still alive and began to revive the Ming Dynasty with him in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

The eldest of them is already 90 years old, and the youngest has just passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

Liu Wei decided to comprehensively reform the military rank system and continue to divide a large number of meritorious heroes.

The former is to adapt to the development process of the Ming army's modernization.

In the past, generals and lieutenants still seemed a bit cumbersome, but this time, Zhu Youzhen decided to directly set up military ranks for officers, colonels, lieutenants, non-commissioned officers, and privates, which was simple and easy to distinguish.

The latter is to allow the Han civilization to completely dominate the world.

The Ming Central Empire is now too big to continue to expand, because the administration of the Imperial Central Cabinet is no longer able to manage the territory thousands of miles away.

Although now the Ming Dynasty has begun to popularize the telegraph.

And the only way is to have more Han Chinese countries appear in the distance.

Even if one day, the Ming Empire still perished, and instead of the Ming Empire, it would only be a Han Chinese country, which would make no difference to Chinese civilization.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen decided to make meritorious contributions again in his last years to create more Han countries.

After all, the vassal king has almost been sealed.

And the world is still very big, and it can only start from the heroes.

And this time, Zhu Youzhen did not allow them to stay in the Central Empire to enjoy the blessings, and they had to build a vassal state, even if the fief was in the primeval forest, they had to go to the country with guns and cannons.

But for the first generation of old people who followed him to conquer the world, he would let them stay in the Central Empire to enjoy their old age, and let their children and grandchildren go overseas to build a state.
