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

The Ming Dynasty, the capital!
Beiping Prefecture.

Within the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also received Zhu Ying's battle report.

"Father, Xiong Ying has led a large army to occupy Annam. In addition, the mountain battalion and infantry battalion have also captured the capital of Champa."

Zhu Biao personally announced the contents of the battle report to Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, heard that the Ming army had successively occupied Annam and Champa, he was naturally overjoyed.

He immediately exclaimed, "Speed ​​is of the essence in war!"

"As expected of the army of our Great Ming Dynasty, they are indeed valiant!"

"If that's the case, we'll be able to conquer all the southeastern countries in another two months!"

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly and said, "It should be about time. After all, with Xiong Ying personally overseeing the battle, the Ming soldiers will surely be even more valiant!"

……

at the same time.

Within the capital of Champa.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty were waiting for Zhu Ying's arrival in the main hall, where many members of the royal family of Champa were also present.

These members of the royal family were all detained here by soldiers.

When Zhu Ying arrived with Wang Wei's Winged Dragon Army, all the generals immediately bowed to him.

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

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

When Zhu Ying arrived inside the main hall, Mu Ying, the commander of the mountain battalion, and Xu Huizu, the commander of the infantry battalion, also rushed to his side.

"well done."

"I am very satisfied that we were able to capture the capital of Champa in such a short time."

"I hope you will continue your efforts and strive to pacify the southeast as quickly as possible!"

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Mu Ying and Xu Huizu said in unison, "Your subordinates obey!"

At this moment, the king of Champa and many members of the royal family kowtowed to Zhu Ying and begged for mercy upon seeing him arrive.

Even the king of Champa wished to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty forever.

But sadly.

Zhu Ying did not agree.

"It's too noisy."

"Liu Lei, kill them."

The next second, Liu Lei, who was standing next to Zhu Ying, immediately responded. Then, Liu Lei led the royal guards and killed all the royal relatives of Champa.

To date, Zhu Ying has massacred the royal families of Annam and Champa.

Zhu Ying's series of decisions clearly demonstrate that the Ming Dynasty was determined to unify the entire southeastern kingdoms and directly incorporate their territories into the Ming Dynasty.

The massacre of royal relatives could prevent local clansmen from rebelling, thus achieving long-term stability.

Next.

Zhu Ying then said to Mu Ying and Xu Huizu, "Currently, there are still two countries in Southeast Asia that are barely clinging to life, even though the kings of these two countries have expressed their willingness to submit to me."

"I know that they are not truly submitting to the Ming Dynasty, but simply out of fear!"

Zhu Yingyong solemnly announced, "I hereby declare that Mu Ying will lead the mountain battalion to attack the Zhenla Kingdom, and Xu Huizu will lead the infantry battalion to attack the Siam Kingdom!"

"These two countries must be wiped out within a month!"

Zhu Ying issued the order to attack.

Mu Ying, Xu Huizu, and the others immediately responded, "Your subordinates obey!"

Therefore, in the following period, the Ming Dynasty began to launch offensives against the Zhenla Kingdom and the Siam Kingdom.

……

Just as the Ming Dynasty was launching a frenzied offensive against the southeastern countries, the Ming navy also began its maritime expansion.

now.

As the Grand Admiral of the Ming Dynasty Navy, Feng Sheng was leading the navy to begin its rapid expansion around the Japanese islands.

In less than a month.

The Ming Dynasty navy almost completely pacified the island nations surrounding the Japanese islands.

However, the Ming Dynasty navy did not stop its expansion.

Now, Feng Sheng has led the navy to attack the South China Sea region!

The countries in Southeast Asia are mostly small nations.

Moreover, their warships and military strength were no match for the Ming Dynasty's navy!
Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty navy entered the South China Sea region, it was unstoppable.

With unstoppable momentum, it swept across Southeast Asia.

Today it is today.

Feng Sheng had already led his army to Java.

Although Java is a small country, it is considered a relatively large country in Southeast Asia.

The country has a population of about one million and a naval force of about one hundred thousand.

In the waters near Java.

A fleet of enormous warships was slowly approaching.

On the deck.

A naval officer reported to Feng Sheng, "Reporting to the General, the navy has now entered the waters off Java."

Feng Sheng nodded slightly, but he did not directly order the navy to launch an attack.

Instead, they sent an envoy by speedboat to Java.

And this moment.

On the island of Java.

Especially on the coastline of Java, the garrison saw the arrival of the Ming Dynasty navy.

There was no doubt that when one giant warship after another appeared on the beach at the same time...

This undoubtedly utterly shocked the defenders.

"My God! Is this a warship? Why is it emitting smoke?"

"Where did this warship come from? How did it suddenly appear in the waters off Java?"

Why are there such large warships in this world?

"This warship seems to carry a dragon flag! Could it be... from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Only the Ming Dynasty could possess such military strength!"

"I heard that the Ming Dynasty recently occupied the Japanese islands! Could it be that they're going to attack Java next?"

Undoubtedly, when the garrison along the coast witnessed the arrival of the Ming warships, they were filled with fear and trepidation.

It can be said.

The arrival of the Ming Dynasty navy almost completely overturned the understanding of the Javanese soldiers.

The commander in charge of coastal defense naturally dared not hesitate.

He immediately informed the King of Java of the situation at sea.

And this moment.

Inside the royal palace of Java.

The king of Java is enjoying his tea, looking quite relaxed and content.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, enemy troops are attacking!" When the messenger informed the King of Java, the latter nearly spat out the tea he had just drunk.

"what?"

"enemy?"

"Which country is so audacious as to attack my Java?"

Although Java was an extremely insignificant small country compared to the Ming Dynasty.

However, to be fair, Java still possesses considerable strength among the Southeast Asian countries.

So... when the King of Java heard this news, his first reaction was surprise.

He simply couldn't imagine that any other country would dare to attack Java!

"Your Majesty, this country appears to be the Ming Dynasty!"

When the messenger delivered the message, without exception, the king of Java immediately showed a look of panic.

"The Ming Dynasty?"

"Java has no enmity with the Ming Dynasty, so why is the Ming Dynasty attacking me?"

The King of Java was completely bewildered upon hearing this news.

He knew very well that, given the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, conquering Java would be an easy task.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. Currently, the Ming Dynasty's naval warships have already arrived in the waters off Java!"

"We are now in formation and ready to attack." After giving the order, the King of Java slumped back onto his throne.

After a long time.

He immediately ordered, "Charge into battle immediately!"

"All troops, march to the coast!"

"Absolutely... absolutely we cannot allow the Ming army to land!"

"Furthermore! Summon all officials immediately and begin a court meeting!"

The King of Java knew very well that if he wanted to withstand the Ming Dynasty's naval attack, he had to mobilize the entire nation!

To use the power of a single nation to resist.

Only in this way can we have a chance to win!

just.

Shortly after the court meeting began, a soldier rushed into the main hall!
"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Ming Dynasty has arrived."

Upon hearing the news, all the officials of Java immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"What exactly is the Ming Dynasty's intention? Since the warships are already in formation, why send an envoy?"

"Yes, what exactly is Da Ming up to? It's truly unfathomable!"

"I can't understand the true thoughts of the Ming Dynasty at all."

On the throne, the King of Java was also filled with doubt.

But no matter what.

The King of Java personally welcomed the Ming Dynasty envoy.

When the Ming envoy arrived at the main hall, he didn't waste much time exchanging pleasantries with the King of Java.

Instead, they directly stated the purpose of their visit.

"General Feng Sheng has given an order! If Java does not wish to be destroyed, it must immediately submit to the Ming Dynasty!"

"The Ming Dynasty is permitted to station troops in Java and administer it!"

"If you do not choose to submit, the Ming navy will immediately bomb Java!"

"At the same time, the King of Java and all his ministers will die under the fire of the Ming Dynasty's cannons!"

After the Ming envoy finished speaking, the king of Java broke out in a cold sweat.

He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would directly demand Java's submission.

This was naturally unacceptable to the King of Java.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's demand was not merely ordinary submission, but rather direct permission for the Ming to station troops and exercise administrative control.

If the King of Java agrees to this request, it would mean that he will become a puppet!
Lose all rights!
and so.

The king of Java could not possibly accept this.

He immediately replied, "I have ruled Java for over a decade; how could I possibly hand it over so easily..."

"However, Java can choose to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, provided that the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops!"

The king of Java made the biggest concession.

just.

Upon hearing this, the Ming envoy coldly replied, "The Ming Dynasty does not need your Javanese tribute. If you want to live, you have no choice but to agree to complete submission!"

"From now on, the entire Java Kingdom will be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and become part of the Ming Dynasty's power!"

"By the way, let me tell you, the Ming Dynasty has already destroyed the Japanese islands. Next, the Ming Dynasty will not only attack Java, but all the countries in Southeast Asia!"

"I'll ask you one last time, will you agree or not?"

Faced with the Ming Dynasty envoy's aggressive questioning, the King of Java was at a loss for words.

When the Ming envoy saw that the King of Java was slow to respond, he naturally lost patience.

"Since your Javanese nation refuses, then don't blame the cannons for being indiscriminate."

After saying this, the Ming official left the main hall.

The Javanese officials were left completely bewildered.

……

After the envoy returned to the Ming fleet, he immediately informed Feng Sheng of the results of the negotiations with Java.

Feng Sheng nodded, then gave the order in a cold tone: "Pass on my orders!"

"The Ming navy has begun its attack!"

After the messenger relayed Feng Sheng's orders to all the warships via flag signals, the Ming navy immediately launched a fierce offensive toward the coast of Java.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In an instant.

The cannonballs fired from the red-coated cannons fell from the sky and landed precisely on the coast of Java Island.

In a short time, the number of casualties was countless!
After two hours of bombardment.

now.

The entire coastline of Java has been reduced to scorched earth.

Simultaneously.

The air was filled with the smell of burning corpses.

On the Ming Dynasty fleet.

Feng Sheng then issued another order to cease the artillery attack.

"almost!"

"The Ming Navy, aboard assault boats, will land!"

"Slaughter the entire Java!"

Following Feng Sheng's order, the soldiers of the Ming Navy immediately boarded assault boats and quickly landed.

Because the Javanese coastal defense forces had been defeated by the Red Cannons.

Therefore, the landing of the Ming Dynasty navy went exceptionally smoothly this time.

Subsequently.

The Ming navy continued to strictly carry out Feng Sheng's orders and began slaughtering their way towards the Javanese royal palace!

Despite Java deploying its full military force to meet the enemy, the vast disparity in equipment and combat capabilities proved too great.

Java did not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty's navy.

even.

In less than a day, the Ming Dynasty swiftly and decisively breached the palace of Java!
then!

The entire royal family and all officials of Java were killed.

Ultimately, the Ming Dynasty successfully conquered the entire Java Kingdom.

Just as the Ming envoy said, the Ming navy's arrival this time was not merely to occupy Java, but to conquer the entire Southeast Asia!

then.

The day after the Ming navy occupied Java, General Feng Sheng issued an order to continue the expansion.

For a while.

One hundred thousand Ming Dynasty naval troops were divided into multiple routes and launched indiscriminate attacks on Southeast Asian countries such as Sumatra, Srivijaya, and the Kingdom of Baihua.

Because the Ming Dynasty naval soldiers were equipped with flintlock muskets, and because most of these countries were island nations, the power of the red-coated cannons could be fully utilized.

This left these Southeast Asian countries completely powerless to resist.

At this moment.

In the kingdoms of Southeast Asia, all the kings were in a state of chaos. On the one hand, they were actively preparing for war, and on the other hand, they formed alliances with other Southeast Asian countries, attempting to jointly resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty's navy.

Unfortunately.

All in vain.

The Ming Dynasty navy conquered Sumatra in less than ten days!
after that.

The Ming navy then concentrated its core forces to fight against Srivijaya.

Srivijaya had a relatively large population and its military strength was considered strong among the Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, in the beginning, Srivijaya barely managed to hold off the Ming Dynasty's navy by relying on the number of its soldiers.

However, with the arrival of the main force of the Ming navy, Srivijaya was completely powerless to fight back, and its territory was bombarded by Ming warships almost constantly.

soon.

The Ming soldiers broke through the coastal defenses and successfully invaded the interior of Srivijaya. Whenever the Ming army conquered a city in Srivijaya, they would carry out a massacre after the city fell.

In less than half a month, the population of Srivijaya decreased by a third!
