My Daming New Empire

Of course, from Dongying's point of view, since you have captured tens of thousands of my subjects and sent people to set fire to my Nagasaki Port and Osaka Prefecture, it seems a bit late to talk about rituals.

Even if it is courtesy first and soldiers later, that's not how it is done!Since you want to fight, come on!

Therefore, this time Jin Chun and the others set off on the [-]th of the first lunar month and arrived in Nagasaki six days later, what they encountered was resistance from the shogunate.

Although Dongpu only had a few small and pitiful cannons, they all took them out and set up a battle.

Jin Chun's trip was just a formality, and it was also a preparation for the crusade. Since he was blocked, of course he would not continue to make fun of himself, but directly retreated to the southern Ryukyu.

In Ryukyu, the Ming army assisted Shang Bazhi of the Zhongshan Kingdom in the crusade against the Beishan Kingdom to remove the hidden dangers of Ryukyu, and then sent envoys back to Beijing to return.

But they went south and north with Yang Zhangde, so they didn't go back to Beijing all the way.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Zhanji clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor's grandfather, congratulations to the emperor's grandfather."

A smile flashed across Zhu Di's eyes, but he still pretended to be angry and said: "This is disrespectful, why congratulate me?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "The Dongying people are digging their own graves and dispatched to clear the obstacles for our Ming army. This is a joy."

Although the Japanese pirates are powerful, Dongying is a country that will not be conquered, so there are still many opponents in the DPRK and China if they want to attack Dongying.

Moreover, Ming is not just a vassal state now, Dongpu, North Korea, the Southeast Asian countries, including southern Iran in later generations, and most of the small countries in the Indian mainland are all vassal states of Ming.

There are tens of thousands of envoys from various countries here in Yingtian Mansion, and when they see Ming Dynasty attacking Dongpu, they will inevitably feel anxious.

Now Dongpu wants to honor the barrier of the sea, and confronts Da Ming. For Da Ming, it is also famous.

Zhu Di deliberately pretended to be furious, but he was not really angry, because the strategy against Japan has been in progress for more than a year, and it will not change just because they are soft now, let alone because they are tough.

Zhu Di's anger was only for those ministers who disagreed with sending troops and for foreign envoys.

But Zhu Di pretended to be displeased and said: "This is not a happy event, swords and guns are ruthless, and I don't know how many Ming soldiers will return to their hometowns."

Zhu Zhanji's smile remained unchanged, and he continued: "Shang Bazhi unified most of the territories in Ryukyu, and now only the southern mountainous areas are not subject to discipline, but the southern part has a harmonious relationship with our Ming Dynasty, and there is no future trouble. My Ming Dynasty added another surrender Belonging to the land, this is the second joy."

Only then did Zhu Di nodded and said: "This statement is also in my mind. In my life, I hope to dye all the areas around my Ming Dynasty on this globe yellow."

The actual territory controlled by Ming today may not be as large as that of later generations, because a large area in Xinjiang has not really surrendered to Ming.

However, the nominal territorial area added up far exceeds the territory of later generations.

Whether it is Tibet, or the Indochina Peninsula, including the Philippines, the Southeast Asian islands, all the tribes in the later Saudi Arabia, Somalia in East Africa, and Tanzania, they all bowed their heads to Ming Dynasty.

Except for the area from Iran to Turkey that belongs to the Timurid Kingdom, the northern Central Asia region belongs to the Golden Horde, and most of the entire Asia is the nominal territory of Ming Dynasty.

Since it is in name, the actual control is of course far inferior to that of later generations, it just has some influence.

However, this is also caused by the limitations of transportation and communication capabilities in this era.If there are high-speed rails and airplanes in future generations, there will be no problem for the current Ming Dynasty to push the whole world.

Especially after the widespread use of firearms, Bei Yuan is no longer a threat, and Daming's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Glancing at the officials at the bottom of the steps, Zhu Di said again: "However, the Japanese shogunate has acted like this and made Ming an enemy of me. It really makes me angry. I want to..."

Of course, Zhu Zhanji would not wait for him to say the words of Yujia's personal conquest, and said loudly: "The Muromachi shogunate really insulted the majesty of the emperor's grandfather. The grandson is willing to serve the emperor's grandfather, and he will bring Ashikaga Yoshichi to Yingtianfu to replace the emperor. Grandpa vented his anger and praised my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Di looked pale, and asked, "Would you like to issue a military order?"

Zhu Zhanji got up and knelt down and said, "Grandson is willing!"

"Okay! I will order you to be the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition and preside over the Eastern Expedition. The whole court will accept your request, but you will send the head of Ashikaga Yoshichi to the capital."

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "The minister takes orders!"

Only then did Zhu Di speak loudly down the steps: "Lü Zhen, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, listened to the decree..."

Lu Zhen, who was sitting on the left, turned over and bowed down: "The minister is here!"

"I plan to crusade against the Muromachi Shogunate in Japan, and I want everyone in the world to know that I am the teacher of the king."

"According to the order!"

"Minister of the Ministry of War, Fang Bin listens to the order."

"Chen is here!"

"Make the order of the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition, issue tiger charms, and the Taisun recruits troops to train and prepare for war."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Yang Pu, the minister of the household department, listens to the order."

"Chen is here!"

"The Ministry of Households must prepare for the military rations for the Eastern Expedition, and there must be no shortage."

Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, was not here today, so Yang Pu attended on behalf of the Household Department, and immediately said: "I obey the order."

Zhu Di issued several verbal orders in a row, and he thoughtfully conceived Zhu Zhanji's preparations for the expedition.While listening to his declaration, Zhu Zhanji thought about what preparations he still needed to make.

After Zhu Di announced the decree, he knelt down and cupped his fists and said, "Grandson asks the imperial hospital for support, and also recruits civilian doctors, who must understand the treatment of red wounds and the prevention and treatment of miasma, and serve as military doctors for the army to prepare for future troubles."

"Prelude!"

"The grandson also asks for the permission of the young army to be included in the army as a scout battalion, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the new army strategy."

This time Zhu Di didn't agree, and asked, "Is it all the young army or just the orphan camp?"

"All young soldiers over the age of 15 will join the army..."

"Have you ordered it before?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Di pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes! What else do you want?"

Although there are many children in the honorable camp who want to make connections, the current noble class of the Ming Dynasty is relatively progressive. Most people have the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and wanting to gain fame immediately. waves.

Zhu Zhanji replied: "There are many mountains in Dongying, and there are many miasmas. My grandson wants a thousand soldiers from Yunnan to serve as a guide for the army."

Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "The army led by Zhang Fu withdrew to Guangdong a few years ago due to illness, and the number was about [-]. They are all veterans who have experienced battles and are used to fighting in the mountains. I will call them back by order."

Zhu Zhanji said happily: "The grandson has nothing to ask for!"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Cabinet Yang, draft an edict!"

Zhu Zhanji returned to Xingqing Palace in high spirits, but he was greeted with reproachful eyes and worries from Mrs. Zhang. "I've just been back for more than a month, and I'm going to go out again. Even if you don't think about my mother, you should think about the children who haven't been born yet."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Mother and concubine don't worry, this is mainly a naval battle. My son will only land after the situation calms down, so don't worry about safety. What's more, even if the army is assembled now, it will take more than a month to get ready , During this period of time, the child will spend more time with his mother and concubine."
