Chapter 872: Expedition to the Duchy of Rus

In the twenty-first year of Guang'an, Zhu Youzhen, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, showed his strong ability to govern, and the cabinet was restructured, and it only took half a month to implement all the personnel, regulations, and division of functions.

Hang's Construction Group worked overtime to requisition residential buildings on the edge of the imperial city, and built a seven-story reinforced concrete high-rise building, which Zhu Youzhen named Jinxiu Building.

It means that here is where the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty are splendid.

Jinxiu Building has become a landmark building in Gyeonggi, Daming.

After the successful restructuring of the cabinet, it quickly played an important role and freed Zhu Youzhen from the busy affairs of people's livelihood, and after that, Zhu Youzhen could not be idle.

If you have nothing to do, run to the Wenhua Palace.

And only one thing: when to fight the principality of Rus.

The intent is self-evident.

Fighting Japan, Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to do it, Guang'an Emperor Zhu Jianji will definitely handle this matter by himself, after all, this is the fateful entanglement between the three statuses of Jingtai, Guang'an, and Orthodoxy.

It is the most ideal perfect state to be finished by Zhu Jianji himself.

But Zhu Youzhen is also a person with ideas.

His grandfather Zhu Qiyu, Wenzhi martial arts is not bad, not inferior to the Tang, Song and Han dynasties, his father Zhu Jianji, Wenzhi martial arts to a higher level, close to the first emperor of the ages, if it is not for the book and the same track of the car is too awesome, Emperor Guang'an is already the first emperor of the ages.

He Zhu Youzhen doesn't have much Wenzhi, and if he doesn't make some martial arts at the moment, he really won't have much chance in the future.

Zhu Youzhen also wants to be a person who is brilliant in martial arts.

What to do?

can only snatch food from the tiger's mouth and snatch the martial arts of the Principality of Rus from Zhu Jianji's hands.

Zhu Jianji saw that the prince was so motivated, and he was also very relieved, thinking that his martial arts were already very good, and then there would be an expedition to Japan, so he handed over the Principality of Rus to the prince and asked him to plan an expedition to the Principality of Rus.

Guang'an twenty-one years, Zhu Jianji is forty-six years old, although he occasionally indulges in desires, but he has modern thoughts, and he pays great attention to his health on weekdays, so his physical condition is actually very good.

It is not a big problem to live another twenty or thirty years.

According to Zhu Jianji's idea, after the Rus' principality, Luzon and Japan were fought, the strategic layout of the Ming Dynasty in Asia was basically completely ended, and the Ming Dynasty became a giant empire that ruled the absolute domain of Asia.

The next step is the oil-rich regions of the Middle East and the Mediterranean, then to Europe, and finally to the Americas and Australia......

However, time waits for no one.

The crown prince, Zhu Youzhen, has already shown his formidable ambitions.

And his ability and thoughts, although he is not a traverser, are actually not much worse.

Zhu Jianji plans to hand over the world strategic plan of the Middle East and the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Youzhen for implementation, and he still needs to do a more important thing: to formulate a development strategy for the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years!

He's going to write a book.

A book like "***".

Let this book become a beacon for the future development of the Ming Dynasty, indicating how future generations will lead the Ming Dynasty to continue to walk in the forefront of the world on the road of industrialization.

With the advent of the steam engine, the Ming Dynasty has carried out an industrial revolution.

The next industrial revolution should be the emergence of the internal combustion engine.

Because the crown prince Zhu Youzhen was planning an expedition to the Rus' principality, Zhu Jianji also temporarily put the expedition to Japan on hold - in economic development, it is not appropriate to start a war on two fronts.

In the twenty-first year of Guang'an, the Ming Dynasty was summoned by the prince to the Qianqing Palace to discuss the expedition to the Principality of Rus' - because the time had passed, Zhu Youzhen's plan was to go on an expedition to the Principality of Rus in the twenty-second year of Guang'an.

And he was worried about the climate impact of the Rus Principality, so when he formulated the expedition plan with the various ministries, he had a hard strategic requirement: he must completely sweep away the Rus Principality before the autumn of the 22nd year of Guang'an.

In other words, the window period for the Ming expedition to the Rus' principality was only three months.

And the territory of the Rus' principality is vast.

To completely sweep away the military power of the Rus' principalities within three months, and

To rule and manage the Principality of Rus, the Ming Dynasty needed to dispatch at least 500,000 troops.

The army of 500,000, plus the logistics of 1.5 million people, would have nearly 2 million people, and as the war deepened, the army needed more people.

It will be the largest expeditionary mobilization of the Ming Dynasty so far.

Both the government and the opposition knew that they could not afford to lose this expedition.

So up and down with one heart.

However, the good news is that the Principality of Rus is not powerful now, and the population is not large, and it only relies on strategic depth space, and the bad news is that the Ming Dynasty has made such frequent moves, and the Principality of Rus must have noticed it.

A sudden blitz is definitely impossible.

It's not a big problem, though!

Because the land reform and land reform have all completed the set goals, the Ming Dynasty is now in the most perfect state of the domestic political environment, and the imperial court has made every effort to carry out the reform of the whole army.

The first to reform is the three major metropolitan divisions of Mobei, the Northeast metropolitan division, and the Liaodong metropolitan division.

There are nearly 300,000 people in these five major capitals.

The National Military Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and the Donggong Military Research Institute are now fully productive, and with the full cooperation of other departments of the Ministry of Industry, Dongfeng firearms have been continuously produced and equipped with these five major divisions.

And all the middle and high-level generals of these five major capital divisions, because these places were not affected by the turmoil brought about by the land reform, almost all of them were the henchmen of Emperor Guang'an.

In fact, the major capitals of the Ming Dynasty are basically under the control of Emperor Guang'an.

Even if some people have ideas, they are under the control of their respective Jinge armies.

In the turmoil of land reform, Zhu Jianji further deepened the centralization of power, especially the military centralization, and the military strength of the local capital division was further incorporated into the Jinge Group Army.

Therefore, Zhu Jianji controlled the Jinge Group Army, and he controlled all the *** things.

Of course, there are also oversight bodies within the Jingo Army.

Of course, Zhu Jianji could not let the Jin Ge Group Army develop into a cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

Under a complete system, the Jinge Group Army was firmly in the hands of the Ming Emperor - in order to further strengthen it, Zhu Jianji had increased investment again in the Academy of Engineering Sciences, hoping to develop the telegraph as soon as possible.

Once the telegraph is developed, a complete set of military supervision system, coupled with the use of Jinyiwei and telegraphs, will make the Ming king's control over the local military indestructible.

And the Academy of Engineering has also frequently reported good news.

It is estimated that in a few years, if several technical and technological problems can be successfully tackled, the telegraph, a super product that spans the times, is really likely to appear in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the telegraph will be combined with the Jinyiwei, coupled with the continuous improvement of the national official cobweb system, and the military supervision system, which is currently not flawed, and the centralized system will reach its peak.

At the end of the 21st year of Guang'an, the three major capital divisions of Mobei and the capital divisions of Liaodong and Northeast China were fully armed!

In addition to the Jinge Group Army, Daming has another 300,000 firearms troops!

After the beginning of the spring of Guang'an 222, the troops of the three major metropolitan divisions of Mobei, the capital of Liaodong and the capital of Northeast China began to gather in Ulaanbaatar, and at the same time, a large number of people were requisitioned and began to transport materials to Ulaanbaatar.

Just wait for the snow to melt and then go on an expedition to the Duchy of Rus.

These are all big moves, even if the Principality of Rus is dull, it can know it, so in the twenty-second year of Guang'an, the Principality of Rus also began to gather troops to the border towns: although the Ming Dynasty is strong, the Principality of Rus is not a soft bone.

Or want to keep it to its glory.
