Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 492: Choosing the Warriors

"This old minister thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness."

Duke Zhang Mao of England once again expressed his gratitude for the imperial favor.

Although Zhu Jinzhen only gave him more than 30,000 people.

But Duke Zhang Mao of England showed no disappointment or worry whatsoever; on the contrary, he was overjoyed and almost couldn't help but let out a long howl.

Since the Beijing garrison's military exercises, the 50,000-strong army suffered a crushing defeat and even became a laughing stock for a period of time, with morale plummeting.

But the Ministry of War and the Five Military Commissions, or rather Zhu Jinzhen, obviously wouldn't see it that way.

Because that was not Zhu Jinzhen's original intention in practicing martial arts.

Therefore, when the 50,000 soldiers of the Beijing Garrison were at a low point in their lives and doubted their existence, they received training and resource support that they could never have dreamed of.

Each person needs one Tiger Wolf Pill.

It is said that a single pill can give ordinary soldiers the strength of tigers and wolves.

Someone went to the Beijing military camp to confirm this.

It can indeed train people into a fierce and powerful army.

"Although the Capital Garrison is far inferior to the Tian Ce and Cang Yun armies, after His Majesty generously bestowed the Tiger and Wolf Pill, every soldier in the Capital Garrison has the courage of a tiger and wolf, and each has the strength of a thousand catties, and can fight tigers and wolves with their bare hands."

"His physical strength is no weaker than that of a martial artist of the third rank in the martial arts world."

“Such an army, each one of them can be worth a hundred.” Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo knew this very well. The Zhang family had controlled the military forces of the Ming Dynasty for many years and had a clear understanding of the comparison of the soldiers’ strength.

Although the Beijing garrison only had 30,000 men, it was equivalent to 300,000 ordinary troops.

Not to mention the thousand new recruits from the Tian Ce faction.

To His Majesty, they were just new recruits from the Tian Ce Mansion.

But outside the Ming Dynasty, who would dare not call them the peerless fierce generals of the Tian Ce Mansion?

Zhu Jinzhen smiled and nodded, telling Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo to rise, and instructing him to go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to discuss the logistical arrangements needed for this expedition.

Of course, despite saying that, Li Chengen and Wang Jing immediately stated that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue would provide their full support.

joke.

Although the Tian Ce Mansion looks down on the strength of the Ming Dynasty world.

But how could the Ministry of War possibly have any objections to expanding the territory of the Ming Dynasty and conquering a new world for His Majesty?

Needless to say, the Ministry of Revenue was a resource of the entire world.

Even if they dared not do anything, they could still feed the entire population of the Ming Dynasty by conquering the land and farming.

Wang Jing dares to hold us back?

There was no need to wait for the court assembly or other ministers to question him.

Today, after leaving Qianqing Palace and stepping out of the palace gate, he will be dragged into a corner and beaten by Zhang Mao.

Then, Zhu Jinzhen looked at the dejected Yu Huatian, Cao Zhengchun, Baihu and others, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be disappointed. This portal that I obtained from the extraterrestrial beings can connect to a world every once in a while. Maybe a few days, maybe a few months. After you have done your work in the first world, you will naturally have a place to use your talents."

From the moment we decided to open the portal to the myriad realms and venture into the myriad worlds.

Zhu Jinzhen will not, and cannot, stop.

Unless it's a world that's too advanced for the Ming Dynasty to conquer, as more and more portals to other worlds open up, the Ming Dynasty will naturally need to conquer more and more worlds.

There was no shortage of battles to fight. Yu Huatian, Cao Zhengchun, Baihu, and Shangguan Haitang naturally understood the implied meaning in Zhu Jinzhen's words. The disappointment and envy on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by smiles.

Yes.

There's plenty of time; they don't need to rush.

So what if the credit for conquering other worlds is given to Duke Zhang Mao of England?
Sooner or later, there will come a day when they will fight for their emperor and for the Ming Dynasty to conquer other worlds.

Moreover, it will definitely not be far away.

……

The meeting at Qianqing Palace lasted until very late.

After all, those were two completely new and unfamiliar worlds.

Even Zhu Jinzhen dared not be careless. He didn't know the background of the world of Fengyun, or what it was like. If it were the world of anime or even the world of the novel Fengyun, it would be unrealistic for the Ming Dynasty to conquer it with its strength.

The more comprehensive the preparations, the better.

Yu Huatian, Cao Zhengchun, Shangguan Haitang, Baihu, and others would certainly not make a foolish mistake or let things fall apart at a crucial moment.

Intelligence work is their primary responsibility.

If you ask them to lead troops to kill the enemy, no one but Yu Huatian might be able to do it, but when it comes to intelligence gathering, they have plenty of methods and means. They confidently assured you that if you give them a little time, they can thoroughly understand the true nature of that world.

He presented all the information that Zhu Jinzhen wanted to know to the emperor in great detail.

The world of Ming Dynasty is simpler, but the initial intelligence work and logistics must be in place.

That was, after all, the world of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jinzhen couldn't simply wave his hand and order Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo to launch a sweeping offensive indiscriminately, as that would drag the Ming Dynasty, which had finally managed to recuperate for a while, back into the quagmire of war.

Although, it certainly won't last very long.

At the same time, it also allows British Duke Zhang Mao to prepare himself mentally and not feel too much psychological pressure.

After all, it's fine for people from later generations to lead troops back in time to fight the foreign enemy, the Oirat Mongols. Although Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo still doesn't quite understand what kind of clowns they are, with the confidence that Zhu Jinzhen gave him, he can say without hesitation that they are trash.

Even knowing that it was a Mongol tribe, Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo was not at all apprehensive.

Without an absolute power sufficient to determine the course of the battlefield, what is the Mongol Yuan dynasty? Isn't it just like the Annamite and Siamese kings who appeared as gifts presented by the Tian Ce Mansion when Zhu Jinzhen ascended the throne?

However, getting the Ming Dynasty in that world to submit is another problem.

It's somewhat contrary to the principles of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Fortunately, Zhu Jinzhen comforted him, saying that there would definitely be more such things in the future. After all, a world of Ming Dynasty splendor had already appeared, so it was hard to guarantee that other worlds of other Ming Dynasty eras wouldn't appear as well.

If he cannot overcome this hurdle, then Duke Zhang Mao of England is not suitable to lead troops into battle.

Upon hearing this, Duke Zhang Mao of Yingguo was immediately alarmed and hurriedly assured Zhu Jinzhen that even if his father, Duke Zhang Fu of Yingguo, were to personally confront him in another world, he would absolutely not delay the war.

At worst, we could just imitate the father and son of the Duke of Cao during the Hongwu era, reverse the Heavenly Gang, hang up the Duke of Ying, Zhang Fu, from another world, and bleed him dry to make him calm down.

Such a rousing and filial piety-filled remark instantly won Zhu Jinzhen's approval, and he said that if the Duke of Ying, Zhang Maozhen, encountered such a situation, he must have the secret guards deliver the message so that he could witness it in person.

His expression, as if he were about to watch the drama unfold, left Duke Zhang Mao of the United Kingdom speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Zhu Jinzhen, Duke of Yingguo Zhang Mao, and the other ministers of the Six Ministries who were suppressing their laughter in the Qianqing Palace, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian and others could not have imagined how earth-shattering Zhang Mao's departure would be.

What enormous changes will occur next?
