Xu Miaoqing's figure appeared in front of Zhu Gui, which made him suddenly have a surprised expression on his face.

Zhu Gui immediately dismounted, then hugged Xu Miaoqing and said, "Don't do this again in the future, this king won't allow you to take any more risks." ”

Although Xu Miaoqing was 'reprimanded', she was happy, not far behind her, Guo Huifei and Zuo Erniang both showed relieved expressions, but there was a trace of loneliness in Zuo Erniang's expression.

At this time, a person with a bandage on his arm came over next to him, it turned out to be Hei Muhan, and he said to Zhu Gui with a dark face: "Lord Wang, you are here." ”

Only then did Zhu Gui realize that there were other people on the side, so he immediately let go of Xu Miaoqing and said, "Ah, yes, this king is here, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, and you have worked hard during this time." ”

Zhu Gui wanted to pat the other party's shoulder, but if he hadn't sat on the horse, he wouldn't have reached it, which would have been a little embarrassing.

But fortunately, the other people around did not realize this, and Hei Muhan even raised his weapon and shouted: "Brothers and sisters, the acting king has come, and the reinforcements are outside the city, as long as you hold on for a while, the victory will be ours." ”

Heimuhan's voice was quickly drowned out by the noise around him, but the news of the imminent reinforcements soon spread, and the faces of the surrounding Mongols were bloody.

Only then did Zhu Gui have time to ask Hei Muhan about the specific situation here.

It turned out that shortly after Blackwood City was breached by Blue Jade, the Tatar people arrived, and they originally wanted to recruit warriors from several surrounding tribes and then launch an attack on the Wazi tribe.

But although the Blackwood tribe had just been attacked by the Ming army, and many of the tribesmen were already resentful, Blackwood Han still tried his best to resist public opinion and did not agree to the other party's request.

But he never expected that this messenger did not come alone, and soon, Blackwood City was attacked.

"According to the current intelligence, the cavalry of this Tatar tribe has about 5,000 people, and if it weren't for the destruction of the city walls, plus the surprise attack, we wouldn't be so embarrassed."

Heimuhan explained.

Zhu Gui nodded in understanding.

After all, the population of Heimuhan and the surrounding cities is more than 100,000, as long as he is well prepared, he is not afraid of these 5,000 Tatar cavalry at all.

However, due to the fact that several surrounding cities were attacked by the blue jade, and the Tatars had a very good opportunity, this made the people of other tribes dare not go out easily.

However, although the situation has been clarified, these have no effect on the current situation.

Moreover, although Zhu Gui's personal guards will arrive soon, it will take at least half an hour for reinforcements from Datong Mansion.

If you can't effectively stop the enemy during this time, Blackwood Castle is likely to be completely captured.

At that time, this city full of people will probably become innocent souls.

Zhu Gui looked at the frightened and expectant eyes around him, took a deep breath, and then said, "Today, this king will advance and retreat with everyone. ”

With that, he didn't wait for the other people's reactions, turned around and exchanged two Shenwu cannons from the system shop to set up behind the third fortification.

Then he turned around and asked about Zuo Erniang's situation, after all, her money gang brought out a lot of people this time, and she should be able to share a lot of pressure on Zhu Gui.

But after asking, I found out that from the money gang after leaving Nanjing, from more than 1,000 people at the beginning, there are only more than 200 people now.

Just as Zhu Gui was preparing to fight against the Tatar Mongols, he suddenly heard the system's prompt sound.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest and obtaining the steam engine design blueprints, and now unlocking the Premium Shop]

This sudden voice made Zhu Gui surprised, and he didn't have time to think about how to complete the task, but directly opened the system mall and started a wave of big purchases.

He had left enough points to deal with the 'plot' of the Battle of Jingjing, and now it was up to these hostile Mongols to appreciate the power of technological crushing.

With a loud rumbling sound, a metal tank suddenly appeared at the front of the battle formation, and just when everyone was surprised, Zhu Gui had already rushed into the enemy formation.

There was no suspense about the answer to the duel between tanks and cavalry, and in half an hour, the Tatars were driven out of Blackwood City, and the whole process began to cheer for this incredible victory.

But Zhu Gui hid alone and began to analyze the content of the system information.

In the end, he finally understood, and the Battle of Jingjing broke out.

Then Zhu Gui became ecstatic, it seemed that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had already raised his troops, and after today's battle, Zhu Gui's thinking had changed.

Since even a technology like a tank, which is 500 years ahead of its time, can be redeemed through the system shop, then none of the problems he had worried about before are gone.

All he had to do now was to build an army of steel torrents with all his strength, and then conquer them before the Age of Discovery in Europe began.

And then there's the whole world.

This complete set of strategic deployments, Zhu Gui has already repeatedly deduced it hundreds of times in the study of the acting king's mansion.

So in the next few days, after receiving the exact news from Yanjing and Nanjing from Hu Shidao, Zhu Gui finally began to issue announcements and expand his army on a large scale.

Although Zhu Gui did not take a stand, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen were very nervous, and both sent envoys to ask him what he meant.

But Zhu Gui gave them an unexpected answer, and in just one month, Zhu Gui recruited 100,000 troops, including 30,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Then Zhu Gui began to build the Iron Torrent Force, including mobile troops and ironclad warships.

He first pointed his troops straight at the grassland, then exchanged a batch of flintlock pistols from Zhu Di for the eunuch Zheng He, and then handed him the chart, and asked him to lead his troops from Shanghai to begin a four-way march into South America, North America, Australia and Africa.

Zhu Gui did not hope that Zheng He's 10,000 men would conquer the four continents.

His goal for Zheng He was simple: to build several bridgeheads at key points on the charts, and then trade with the locals while promoting Ming culture and ideas to them.

Zhu Gui did not want to follow the path of the doomed primitive accumulation of capital in the Western triangular trade.

He wants to make the aborigines of these continents a sheltered people under the influence of Ming culture before they awaken their sense of race and civilization.

What Zhu Gui has to do is to keep drawing circles on the map, then accumulate shop points, and then keep exchanging various supplies to support the front line.

He wants to build a global empire in the shortest possible time, and he cannot repeat the fate of the empire that fell apart after the death of Genghis Khan.

The key to this is to use his later ideas to quickly build an industrial-age empire that connects all seven continents.

When Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen were fighting because of that small piece of land in the Central Plains, Zhu Gui's subordinates were already gradually encroaching on several other continents.

The local indigenous people simply have no strength to resist in front of Zhu Gui's Iron Legion.

It took Zhu Gui three years to subdue tens of thousands of indigenous tribes, making them identify with and attach themselves to the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Gui began to build cities according to the planned route, build railways, reward childbirth, founded, and promoted Chinese as Mandarin all over the world.

Zhu Gui believed that as long as he was given twenty years, he could make the Ming Empire's strength level reach the world's gross industrial output before World War II.

At this time, Zhu Di had just arrived in Nanjing.

Thanks to the support of Zhu Gui's flintlock pistol, the battle went much smoother than expected.

And many people in the Ming Dynasty know that the king has opened up a lot of land outside the Ming Dynasty and conquered many nationalities.

Just when Zhu Gui gathered hundreds of subordinates, intending to convene and formulate the first ten-year plan.

He heard the system's beep.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching the standard of the overlord of world civilization, you can make a choice below, 1: Return to the original world and erase all the memories after crossing over. 2: Based on the civilization of the Ming Empire, conduct a higher-level Imperial Tournament, please make a choice within ten seconds]

"Erase your memories and go back to the afterlife? Civilization of Empires? Zhu Gui was confused by the system's prompt sound.

[10, 9, 8......]

The system doesn't give him more time.

Zhu Gui looked at Xu Miaoqing's gentle eyes sitting beside him, and looked at the eager eyes of the soldiers in the hall, and he immediately had an answer.

"Option 2, I'm going to compete in the Empire Tournament."

Zhu Gui said loudly.

Suddenly, the earth began to shake, and the mountains shook.

A soldier came to report outside the door: "Lord Wang, there is suddenly an extra moon in the sky. ”

"The moon?"

Zhu Gui was surprised to lead everyone to the outside of the hall, and sure enough, he saw a huge star in the sky, but it was much larger than the moon, covering two-thirds of the sky.

However, Zhu Gui also noticed that there were other stars in the sky, but they were blocked by the huge star in front of him, and only a corner was exposed.

"Is this the imperial civilization that has unified the entire planet like me?"

Zhu Gui muttered to himself.

……

Zhu Gui's adventure through the Ming Dynasty is over.

But his new journey is about to begin.
