18 years after the recovery of the Ming Dynasty.

A.D. 1810, late autumn in September.

The wind from the northwest blows the black smoke, fine dust and other air pollutants drifting from the south bank of the river back to the south.

But there was still a choking smell in the air.

On the wide surface of the Yangtze River, you can even see black undercurrents.

At this time, there were several huge ships moored in the military port.

The ship had no sails and was painted black.

Huge chimneys point to the sky.

The chimney at the front is emitting black smoke, and the two chimneys at the back are steaming.

The steam engine responsible for the work was already rumbling.

Next to the combustion chamber in the ship's cabin, workers are quickly adding fuel, and the combustion chamber is burned to a temperature of at least 1,500 degrees.

These are all preparations that are made before the voyage.

And on the shore.

The Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag and the Red Bottom Regiment Dragon Flag fluttered high.

This shows that at this moment, Zhu Daohua, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is in this military port.

"Bring all of this, and I don't know if I can eat it in North America."

Emperor Zhu looked at a scene of mother and son parting with some helplessness.

Shi Concubine Shi Xianggu has now begun to get rich, and her age has also come up, so she is naturally not as rich as when she was young.

At this time, he was slightly crying and pulling a young man who looked slightly similar to Emperor Zhu eighteen years ago, babbling something.

"Grandma, I'm going to Jinzhou to be the king, not to suffer, Jinzhou can't buy anything."

The second son of the emperor, Zhu Yixin, the king of Qin, said helplessly.

The current Golden State is the most stable and prosperous territory of the Ming Dynasty in North America.

It has a population of more than 3 million.

And Gu is young and strong.

Every household, everybody has a gun.

If it is extreme mobilization.

Able to pull out more than half a million troops.

It can be said that it is the optimus pillar of the Ming Dynasty on the west coast of North America.

To the south of the Golden State, there is the Metropolitan Protectorate of California.

With the two capitals as the core, the Ming Dynasty expanded in North America for more than ten years, occupying more than 3 million square kilometers of land.

Among them, the Golden State Metropolitan Protectorate has been expanded

Today, the Metropolitan Protectorate of California and the Metropolitan Protectorate of Golden State have the foundation to expand into the central part of the continent.

And at this time.

Americans can't sit still.

They amassed an army in the Missouri Plateau.

Over the past decade or so, the world has basically formed a European alliance – to be precise, the basic pattern of the European-American alliance against the Great Tomorrow system.

And the two sides continue to fight over the Old World and Africa.

Ottoman Turkey, with the support of the Ming Empire, had been at war with Russia for more than a decade.

The two sides repeatedly fought over the Balkans and the Caucasus.

But.

Such a war can only be regarded as a small-scale, low-intensity war.

Since the Ming Dynasty began to expand to the Missouri region.

The clouds of war loom over the New World!

The United States in the New World is in fact a European civilization.

They naturally became the front line of the fight against Chinese civilization in the Americas.

Unlike the United States, which has historically pursued isolationism.

The United States in this era cannot be isolated.

Because in the west of the New World, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty are coming in a steady stream.

Moreover, the United States today is not the "melting pot of equal races" that later generations proclaimed themselves.

Rather, it is a country where white Europe dominates racism at deep roots.

Facing the arrival of the people of East Asia.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to open their minds and say "welcome to the melting pot of American races."

The arrival of East Asians is to compete with them for living space!

This.

These white Europeans who emigrated from Europe to the United States know best.

So.

The United States has now also abandoned its historical policy of focusing on the development of the navy, and the Great White Fleet will certainly not appear in this era.

Because they spent almost all their military money on building a continental army.

And because the federal government has a continental army, the power of the federal government in the United States overwhelms the power of the states, which makes the United States in this era more like the United States after the Civil War.

The loose federation is now a little tighter under the threat of foreign enemies.

And the United States, which already has a good industrial base, has also quickly developed a military industry second only to the Ming Empire.

They built a very strong and complete line of defense in the Missouri Plateau, known as the Missouri Line. 、

"This is the Great Wall of Americans!"

After the construction of this fortress, which was built of concrete and had a length of more than two hundred kilometers.

The then Commander-in-Chief of the United States, Thomas Murphy. Jefferson made this assessment.

In fact.

Faced with this fortress built of concrete, equipped with a large number of artillery, it was convenient for rapid fire with rear-loading guns.

The staff officers of the General Staff of the Ming Empire are also quite a headache.

It is believed that in order to break through such a fortress, it is necessary to gather at least a million troops, under the cover of intensive artillery bombardment, and pay a heavy price of casualties in order to break through the past.

However, these offensive plans were vetoed by Emperor Zhu.

Until the attack plan proposed by the second prince Zhu Yixin.

This made Emperor Zhu make up his mind to send Zhu Yixin, who was only 18 years old this year, to Jinzhou to take up the war against the United States.

"Although you have experience in leading troops in battle, and your grades in military schools are good, but this is all a small fight, and the future war in North America is likely to be the largest battle ever! When it comes to leading troops to war, you must be extremely cautious. ”

Emperor Zhu spoke.

"I see, Old Bean."

Zhu Yixin nodded.

"Second child, take care all the way!"

Compared with the second prince who studied all the way to the military academy in a militarized management school since he was a child, he is a young officer at a glance.

Zhu Yichi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, is a little rounded.

Although the facial features are still with Emperor Zhu, the figure is a bit like the genes of the group of fat people in the Lan Fangluo family.

"Big brother, you can look at it, the white people think they have the Great Wall and they can have nothing to fear, but we also have secret weapons!!"

Zhu Yichi nodded, he also knew about the secret weapon.

Zhu Yichi, who is nineteen years old this year, is now enrolled in Daohua University, but at the same time, he is also the secretary of Emperor Zhu, and he goes to school and works at the same time, but he really has no idle moment.

Frankly.

He was a little envious of Zhu Yixin.

This time I went to Golden State, it was really a wide sea for fish to swim.

Except for Zhu Yixin.

In fact, there are many descendants of the Ming Dynasty who will also go to Jinzhou with them.

In addition to the North American continent, it will be divided into Qin, Jin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Wu, Yue and other pro-vassals.

It will continue to divide the vassal states.

The North American continent is not just the family of Emperor Zhu.

Instead, it will be taken out and shared with Emperor Zhu's Restoration Meritorious Group!!

Engaging in Zhou-style separation, Emperor Zhu is serious. (End of chapter)
