Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 436 The Railway Opens! The War of Expansion Continues!

Imperial City!

A steam locomotive slowly started moving in front of the train tracks.

The train was loaded with grain and various military supplies.

Look around.

This train has a total of fifteen carriages, and many other trains are waiting to be driven onto the tracks.

In other words.

It wasn't just one batch of steam trains, but many batches.

Today marks the official opening of the train tracks.

The goods being transported this time were grain, fodder, and various military supplies.

The target of this track is in the south, or more precisely, Yunnan Prefecture.

The grain and military supplies transported on the train were naturally delivered to Yunnan Prefecture.

Currently.

The main force of the Ming Dynasty has set off.

The infantry battalion, the Shenji battalion, and the cavalry battalion all marched to Yunnan Prefecture.

As soon as these supplies arrive, the main force of the Ming Dynasty will immediately head south to conquer Annam.

In front of these train tracks.

Three people dressed in dragon robes stood here in turn, their eyes fixed on the train that was heading south.

These three people were none other than Zhu Yuanzhang and his three generations of descendants.

"Buzz buzz!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As the train sped past Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying, it immediately emitted a loud roar.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this steel behemoth pass by him, he was naturally filled with mixed emotions.

"This train is really fast."

"As it passed by our house, I suddenly felt a gust of wind."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "With these railways stretching for thousands of miles, the future development of our Ming Dynasty will surely reach a new level."

"Perhaps, from this day forward, our Great Ming Dynasty will enter a brand new era."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the train pass by him, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Biao, standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, also spoke up, saying, "Father's words make sense."

"Once the railway is put into operation, it will greatly speed up the transportation of the Ming Dynasty and also facilitate communication among the people."

"The future of the Ming Dynasty will naturally be better and better!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Ying, who was standing between them, suddenly spoke up.

"Grandfather, Father, these trains and railways are just the first step. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will surely have even more powerful machines."

"The Ming Dynasty will completely overturn the world."

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Ying said, their faces naturally showed anticipation.

"After hearing what Xiong Ying said, we are already somewhat looking forward to the future of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao immediately added, "Yes, railways and trains have already provided enough help to the Ming Dynasty. If other powerful machines were to appear, I can't believe how powerful the Ming Dynasty would become."

It is clear that both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao deeply believed what Zhu Yinggang had just said.

Subsequently.

Zhu Ying turned to Commander Liu Lei and asked, "Have the Ming army stationed on the Japanese islands set off yet?"

The latter immediately responded, "Your Highness, the army has already set off and will soon arrive at the eastern port."

After Zhu Ying destroyed the two Japanese island nations, he only left a portion of his troops for Feng Sheng to guard.

In addition, Ryukyu troops would gradually enter the Japanese islands to help the Ming Dynasty control them.

Zhu Ying was well aware that the Ryukyu army was not strong in combat, and relying solely on Ryukyu was certainly not enough.

Therefore, not long ago, Zhu Ying ordered a portion of the Ming army to travel by treasure ship to the Japanese islands for garrisoning.

This is to guard the entire Japanese island!

They firmly controlled the Japanese islands in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Upon hearing that the army had already set sail for the port, Zhu Ying immediately instructed, "Once the army arrives at the Japanese island, order Feng Sheng to personally train this army."

"Furthermore, Feng Sheng can lead this army, along with the Ming navy, to expand around the Japanese islands!"

"Besides Ryukyu, we must also destroy some of the smaller countries surrounding the Japanese islands!"

"We can even directly attack the countries of Southeast Asia, and if we encounter any resistance, we will kill them all without mercy!"

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately followed up with a question: "Xiong Ying, we've heard that the countries in Southeast Asia have large populations. If we rely solely on the navy, can we conquer them?"

Zhu Ying calmly explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandfather, rest assured, the Ming Navy is unmatched in combat power."

"Although these Southeast Asian countries have a large population, the quality of their weapons and warships is appalling."

"If these Southeast Asian countries dare to confront our Ming Dynasty's treasure ships head-on, they are undoubtedly overestimating themselves."

Zhu Ying was extremely confident in the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty's navy.

In Zhu Ying's view, there was no navy in the world that could rival the Ming Dynasty.

but.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words also served as a reminder to Zhu Ying.

Although the Ming Dynasty's navy is currently capable of easily defeating the Southeast Asian countries, it is a tricky matter to completely control them.

After all, the Southeast Asian countries have a large population, and if the Ming army were to occupy them, it would be necessary to deploy a considerable number of troops to suppress them.

Although the Ming Dynasty currently has a sufficient number of soldiers, it will have to launch several foreign wars at this stage.

Whether it's the Japanese islands or the southeastern countries, a certain number of troops need to be dispatched to guard them.

After a moment's thought, Zhu Ying immediately instructed Liu Lei, "Tell Feng Sheng immediately that if any resistance is encountered during the attack on the Southeast Asian countries, kill them all!"

"As for those who submit to the Ming Dynasty, they can be supported as puppets and made to serve the Ming Dynasty!"

"I will send someone to give Feng Sheng the Heart-Devouring Pill, and have Feng Sheng give it to the puppet!!"

"Then these puppets were used to help the Ming Dynasty manage the countries in Southeast Asia."

Zhu Ying quickly came up with a solution.

At last.

Zhu Yingcong summoned the mark of the [Longevity Fruit Tree].

This is a leaf that shimmers with a purplish-red hue.

These leaves are from the Longevity Fruit Tree.

As long as the leaves of this [Longevity Fruit Tree] are taken to the battlefield, they can still absorb the blood energy on the battlefield.

This nourishes the Longevity Fruit Tree.

After Zhu Ying finished explaining everything, Liu Lei didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately sent someone to inform Feng Sheng of Zhu Ying's instructions.

……

In the next period of time.

The Ming Dynasty will be fighting on two fronts simultaneously.

The main force of the Ming Dynasty went south to attack Annam, while the Ming navy was around the Japanese islands and even attacked the Southeast Asian countries.

It can be said.

During this period, the Ming Dynasty's massive war machine was running at full speed.

Almost every day, grain and fodder were transported to Yunnan Prefecture and ports along the eastern coast.

The first to engage in battle was the personal expeditionary force led by Zhu Ying.

One month later

Yunnan Prefecture.

After Zhu Ying led Wang Wei's Wing Dragon Army to arrive, the generals of the three main battle battalions were already waiting there.

Previously, in the Fengtian Hall in the capital, Zhu Ying had already laid out detailed tactics for attacking Annam.

and so.

Upon arriving in Yunnan Prefecture, Zhu Ying immediately issued the order to attack!

In an instant, the infantry battalion began to invade Annam from the border of Yunnan Prefecture at top speed.

This sudden attack undoubtedly gave the King of Annam no chance to react.

In the early stages.

The infantry battalion soldiers were winning battle after battle!

It only took ten days.

Half of Annam's territory was already under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

even.

The King of Annam continued to send envoys, hoping to hold peace talks with the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, the King of Annam decided to submit to the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not give the King of Annam the opportunity to surrender.

The infantry battalion soldiers did not stop their offensive; on the contrary, the Ming Dynasty's offensive became even more terrifying!
If the city was met with fierce resistance from the defending troops, the Ming Dynasty would carry out indiscriminate massacres after breaching the city walls.

This was also Zhu Ying's order.

For Zhu Ying, the reason he launched a series of wars recently was not only to implement his expansionist national policy, but more importantly, to use war to make the [Longevity Fruit Tree] grow stronger.

this time.

The infantry battalion successfully stormed into the capital of Annam!

In order to save his own life, the King of Annam ordered all men, women, and children in the capital to defend the city.

The battle was also extremely brutal.

The two sides fought for two whole days and two nights.

It can be said that almost all the people in the capital of Annam were wiped out...

On the other hand, the infantry battalion suffered almost no casualties.

As the infantry fighting battalion began to exert its strength.

In an instant.

The city gates of the capital of Annam were easily breached.

General Xu Huizu, commander of the infantry battalion, personally led his army into the capital!
Xu Huizu then immediately issued the order to massacre.

Almost overnight, the capital of Annam became a living hell.

There were corpses everywhere.

The mournful cries echoed throughout the sky.

Inside the royal palace of Annam, all the royal family and nobles were captured alive by Xu Huizu, while the palace guards, eunuchs, and others were all killed by the infantry soldiers.

This royal palace in Annam was completely soaked in blood.

Annam was completely erased from history from that point on!
……

Inside the royal palace in Annam's capital.

Zhu Ying rode the Wind God Winged Dragon and led the Royal Guard Winged Dragon Army down from the sky. Xu Huizu, the Grand General of the Infantry Battalion, personally greeted them outside the palace!

A gust of wind arose.

The Quetzalcoatlus slowly flapped its wings and landed in front of Xu Huizu!

"This humble general pays his respects to Your Highness, the Imperial Grandson!"

Upon seeing Zhu Ying arrive, Xu Huizu naturally did not hesitate and immediately bowed to Zhu Ying.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xu Huizu stood up and immediately reported the battle situation of the infantry battalion to Zhu Ying.

"Your Highness, the infantry battalion has already breached the capital!"

"Furthermore, most of Annam's territory has been taken over by the Ming army! Only in the border areas of Annam are there still some Annamite troops resisting."

After hearing Xu Huizu's report, Zhu Ying nodded slightly and said slowly, "Hmph, it's just a death throes."

“These resistance forces are not worth worrying about at all.”

Where is the king of Annam?

No sooner had Zhu Ying finished speaking than Xu Huizu immediately responded, "Your Highness, the King of Annam, along with all members of the royal family and nobles, have been captured alive!"

"Please, Your Highness, handle this matter!"

Without a second thought, Zhu Ying immediately said, "Kill them all!"

"From this day forward, there will be no more Annam in this world!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Xu Huizu immediately gave the order, and soon the infantry battalion soldiers killed all the kings, royal nobles and others of Annam.

After conquering Annam, the Ming Dynasty did not stop its advance.

The day.

Zhu Ying then issued the order to continue the attack!
"After Annam is destroyed, the next country to be conquered is Champa."

"The Champa Kingdom is stronger than Annam. In addition, most of the territory of the Champa Kingdom is rainforest and mountainous."

"Besides the infantry battalion, it's time to give the mountain battalion a chance to shine."

Zhu Ying immediately said to Liu Lei, "Send someone to inform Mu Ying immediately, and have him lead the mountain battalion to launch an attack on Champa!"

"Strive to annihilate the entire Champa Kingdom within a month!"

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Liu Lei naturally did not dare to hesitate. He immediately sent someone to ride the pterosaur and convey Zhu Ying's latest order to Mu Ying.

after that.

Zhu Ying then sent the battle report to Zhu Yuanzhang in the capital.

At last.

Zhu Ying then said to Xu Huizu, the general of the infantry battalion, "Leave a portion of the infantry battalion to garrison Annam, and the majority of the army will continue south!"

"The infantry battalion and the mountain battalion will attack Champa simultaneously from the east and west!"

"We absolutely cannot give Champa any chance to breathe!"

"Whichever battalion or mountain battalion first breaches the capital of Champa will receive my reward!"

As the general of the infantry battalion, Xu Huizu naturally did not hesitate.

He immediately replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the infantry battalion will be captured by the mountain battalion even faster than the Champa capital!"

……

soon.

The two main forces of the Ming army, the infantry battalion and the mountain battalion, began to attack Champa from the east and west respectively, following Zhu Ying's tactics!
When the king of Champa learned that the Ming army had occupied Annam, he anticipated that the Ming Dynasty would likely continue its southward advance.

Thus they invaded Champa.

then.

The king of Champa immediately began recruiting soldiers throughout the country.

In less than ten days, the army of Champa rapidly increased to 200,000.

just.

The 200,000-strong army of Champa was simply no match for the two major armies of the Ming Dynasty: the infantry battalion and the mountain battalion!
Just ten days later.

The infantry battalion killed 50,000 Champa troops, while at the same time, the mountain battalion led by Mu Ying annihilated 80,000 troops.

Simultaneously.

The infantry battalions and mountain battalions advanced deep into the heart of Champa with unstoppable momentum.

The balance of power in the war had completely tipped in favor of the Ming Dynasty.

although.

The king of Champa was still trying to raise troops, but unfortunately, because the infantry and mountain battalions had slaughtered their way in, the people of Champa were in a state of panic and no one dared to join the army.

The Kingdom of Champa was completely powerless to resist.

Seven more days passed.

The mountain battalion and the infantry battalion almost simultaneously captured the capital of Champa.

In an instant.

The capital of Champa was reduced to ruins.
