Chapter 197: European Emperor Yongle Zhu Di~~~
Zhu Di defeated the Yuan court at Buir Lake.

They captured and killed thousands of officials including the Yuan ruler, the crown prince, princes, princesses, the generals, and nearly 100,000 men and women.

Important items such as imperial seals, imperial edicts, gold and silver seals, etc. were seized.

There were also hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other large livestock, as well as countless stores of weapons, armor and other supplies.

This battle completely destroyed the Yuan court and crushed their last bit of power and appeal.

From then on, no one on the prairie could gather the scattered tribes together again.

This great victory completely dispelled the last bit of doubt in Lao Zhu's heart.

He was determined to give the princes autonomy.

Those who are willing to fight abroad can establish themselves as kings by conquering vast territories, and exchange fiefdoms in Middle-earth for tribute.

If you don't want to leave the prosperous Middle-earth, then wait for the Enfeoffment Order.

The King of Yan was the first to agree, as he loved fighting the most.

After destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Di resigned from the post of General of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty and changed the flag in his own military camp to General of the Western Expedition.

Zhu Biao, feeling that his younger brothers had not yet been settled, was busy allocating good places to his sons, and he treated his fourth brother, who had taken the initiative to seek a way out, as well as possible.

In order to support Zhu Di's westward expedition, he would even rather suspend the offensive against Annan and other places and send troops, supplies and food to the north.

After all, he conquered Annan and other places for the sake of his sons.

For Zhu Biao, who was very concerned about his reputation, he would wait until his younger brothers were arranged before taking care of his son.

The Ming Dynasty's westward expedition was different from the many westward expeditions of the Mongols in the past.

The Mongols relied on the power of their cavalry to quickly sweep through the area.

The Ming Dynasty also had cavalry, but definitely not as many as the Mongols. They were mainly composed of infantry and muskets and artillery.

So the Western Expedition meant fighting wars, building castles along the way, setting up garrisons to guard transportation lines, migrating immigrants to open up land, and so on.

The Mongol expedition to the west relied on military force, intimidating and conquering through killing.

The Ming Dynasty relied purely on its national strength to force its way forward and occupy other territories in this era of low productivity.

Within a few years, Zhu Di first opened up Hami Guard, then restored Beiting Guard, and finally rebuilt Suiye Guard.

Suiye City, that is Li Bai’s hometown.

After the Anshi Rebellion, it finally returned to the embrace of China after a thousand years.

Li Bai can rest in peace now.

In order to support Zhu Di's Western Expedition, Chen Ran also did a lot of work.

I consulted materials and drew maps myself, collecting a lot of information about the geography of mountains and rivers, water patterns, climate, and local customs and practices of various places.

Vigorously promote three-season rice, innovate cotton textile technology, etc.

Among these, especially the various detailed information about the local area, were the key factor in the Ming army, which was completely in the dark, being able to win battles again and again.

Some civil servants in the court suggested that the Prince of Yan should be transferred to the Western Regions. After all, the Ming Dynasty had spent too much money to support his expedition to the West.

Every year, huge amounts of food and supplies were thrown into the Western Expedition. The civil servants could only watch without being able to do anything, and they were extremely anxious.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who felt that the country's strength was being consumed by the Western Expedition, came to Chen Ran to ask what to do.

The fact that they asked this question showed that they were indeed shaken.

Chen Ran's response was simple, "Isn't it just food and supplies? I'll help you solve it. But first you have to kill the family of the person who proposed to stop the Western Expedition."

Zhu Biao was surprised, "Zihou, the food and grass needed for the Western Expedition is extremely expensive, and more importantly, it is transported thousands of miles away, and the loss along the way is even several times the amount of food and grass needed!"

"One more condition." Chen Ran continued to put forward the condition expressionlessly, "In Huarong County, Yuezhou Prefecture, Huguang, there is a man named Liu Bihong. Kill his entire family."

Zhu Biao frowned immediately. "What crime did he commit?"

"He has a grandson named Liu Daxia!"

"What kind of crime is this?" Zhu Biao was angry. "How can this be possible!"

Chen Ran turned his gaze to Lao Zhu.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Zhu asked, "Are you sure you can solve Lao Si's food and military supply problem?"

"Not only can it solve the problem of food and military supplies, but it can also open up a fertile land for the Ming Dynasty that is larger than the entire Jiangnan region. It is enough to enfeoff many princes."

When others said such things, Lao Zhu just thought they were talking nonsense.

But Chen Ran, who was able to predict everything and never made a mistake, said that he believed it!
"I will order the Jinyiwei to investigate Liu Bihong." Old Zhu immediately made the decision, "If there is any problem, we will deal with it!"

The fact that Old Zhu could say this meant that the fate of Liu Bihong's family was already sealed.

If the problem is found, it can be dealt with easily. If it is not found, it doesn’t matter because the Jinyiwei can arrange all the evidence.

If it weren't for Zhu Biao's consideration for his face, Zhu would have taken action directly.

For Old Zhu, as long as the benefits are big enough, even the Little Ming King can be dissolved in water, let alone others.

The Jinyiwei did a great job.

Liu Bihong was found guilty of a series of crimes and was soon convicted.

After hearing the news, Chen Ran finally got rid of his anger.

"It is always a small number of people who push the key points of history. Liu Daxia is the one who pushed Middle-earth back 200 years!"

Chen Ran also fulfilled his promise and personally led the increasingly large Ming fleet, crossing Malacca and all the way to India.

After landing, he didn't waste any time and directly started the expedition to India.

This is truly a fertile land, with even more arable land than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Right from the start, Chen Ran clarified the identities of those people who made up the vast majority of the population but were called untouchables locally. He issued them household registration in the Ming Dynasty, abolished the class system, distributed land and livestock, and encouraged them to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

The result is self-evident. After losing the support of the lower-class untouchables, the white-skinned people, who were few in number, were defeated and quickly wiped out.

After conquering Tianzhu, the vast amount of supplies and food there could provide close support to Zhu Di's army in his westward expedition.

At the same time, the large population here can be mobilized on a large scale to provide logistical support for the Western Expedition Army.

The Ming Dynasty was relieved of the heavy burden of supporting the Western Expedition, which was a win-win situation.

With the massive human and material support from India, the high-spirited Zhu Di shouted, "The Western Expedition will never stop until the last drop of Indian blood is shed!"

On land, there is human and material support from India, and on the sea, there is also support from a large fleet.

Zhu Di's journey to the west became increasingly easier and faster.

Even, to return to Yingtian Prefecture, he only needed to go to the seaside to board a boat and sail all the way back, which saved a huge amount of time and energy compared to traveling thousands of miles on land.

Because of this, Zhu Di was more determined to support the opening of the sea.

When the Ming army on the Western Expedition was rotated, they could quickly return home by boat.

Moreover, India's huge material resources and various spoils of war along the way also allowed them to return home with a full load.

The morale, which had been gradually declining due to being thousands of miles away from home, quickly rebounded.

The next thing is simple.

Zhu Di led the founding army that expelled the Tartars and established the Ming Dynasty. He swept everything in his path with the might of a tiger.

Finally, we passed the difficult land and saw the westernmost sea.

Turn northwest from here and cross the strait to reach Europe.

At this time, Europe was still in the midst of a melee.

No matter from which aspect, it is far inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di, who had been killing people all the way, saw so many barbarians with colorful hair and eyes, so he simply used war to support war and swept through all the way.

As for the sturdy castles that the Europeans boasted about, they were lost one after another without any suspense under the Ming army's artillery and the explosion of gunpowder filled with coffins.

The terrified European countries shouted "The Whip of God is coming again" and began to band together to organize coalition forces to resist.

Almost all the knights in Europe gathered together, arranged in dense formations, and charged towards the Ming army.

Zhu Di completely disdained this kind of tactics.

"The cannons fire first."

"After the cannon fire, let's fire the muskets."

"After firing the muskets, use the strong bows and crossbows."

"Infantry formation, move forward to resist, cavalry flanks, outflanking, destroy them!"

The knights' armor could not withstand the cannonballs, lead bullets and crossbows, and they were destroyed like grass.

Their tactics were too rigid, they only knew how to charge face to face.

After being held back by the Ming army's infantry with long spears and surrounded on both wings by cavalry, the army quickly fell into great chaos, and the final result was self-evident.

Zhu Di became a god in one battle and eliminated the most powerful resistance force in Europe.

The next thing is to grab land.

Zhu Di ascended the throne in the holy land in the hearts of Europeans and was named the Emperor of Europe.

After establishing a new family tree, they stopped paying tribute as a vassal and agreed to become a brotherly country with Zhu Biao.

He chose the reign title Yongle suggested by Chen Ran and called himself the European Yongle Emperor~~~
It was also Chen Ran's suggestion that the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, who had been kept in Middle-earth as a hostage, finally stayed in Middle-earth forever.

The foundation he founded in Europe was inherited by his second son Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaochi had been weak and sickly since childhood. When the news of Zhu Di's conquest of Europe and his proclaiming himself emperor came, he suddenly fell seriously ill.

He hurriedly sent someone to ask Chen Ran, who had miraculous medical skills, to come and treat the patient.

But Chen Ran was missing.

Zhu Gaochi, who didn't even have a son, didn't make it through the night and died instantly.

As for Chen Ran, there has been no news since his disappearance, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

'The history has been modified. Wala students have lost their chance to be born. Now they are being rewarded.'

'Note: When you use the skill 'Eternal Youth', time will never leave any traces on you, and your appearance and physical condition will be maintained at the most optimal state.'

After returning to the modern world, Chen Ran took a long vacation.

This time, the world in the early Ming Dynasty lasted too long.

Fortunately, the harvest was good and this skill was very useful to him.

From now on, no matter which world you go to and how long you stay there, you will not have the problem of aging.

In addition, this skill can also keep his physical condition at the best level.

In some ways, it is very useful.

The one who felt it the most deeply was Liu Ruyan.

"You are simply an animal." Liu Ruyan came out of the shower and sat on the bed rubbing her knees. "My legs are numb from kneeling."

Chen Ran smiled without saying anything. This is real skill.

"How is your company developing recently?"

"Not bad." After rubbing her knees for a while, Liu Ruyan simply lay down and chatted, "Recently, the company has recruited a group of new people. There is a man named Ji Boxiao who keeps pestering me all the time. It's so annoying."

"Ah?" Chen Ran was stunned. "What do you mean small?"
