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

The third year.

The development of the Ming Empire ushered in another substantial breakthrough, with steam engines even entering ordinary people's homes in the Central Plains.

This is a huge leap.

Workshops for steam pumping, steam mining, and steam iron smelting are also gradually increasing.

It can be said.

After three years of development following unification, the Ming Empire had now entered the mid-stage of the industrial age.

The steam engine was used in more and more scenarios, and at the same time, it effectively improved people's living standards.

Horse-drawn carriages were now quite rare on the streets of the capital. Most people used steam trains for transportation, and the space and carriages of these trains had been greatly improved.

In addition, its speed has also been improved.

It can be said that, in a sense, the steam engine successfully benefited the people of the Ming Dynasty and also increased productivity.

At this moment.

Inside the steam engine carriage...

Many people are also talking about the development of the Ming Empire in recent years.

"The development of our Great Ming Empire is truly remarkable. In just a few years, it has developed so rapidly that it is truly astonishing."

"Yes, especially after we got this steam engine, it's made things so much more convenient. Before, if we went to a far place by horse-drawn carriage, it might take a month! But now? It only takes three days!"

"Have you heard? Steam engines can now be used to make paper and smelt iron! Many more workshops have been built around the capital!"

"The change is truly enormous! Iron used to be a very expensive resource, but now almost everyone can afford it!"

"Thanks to His Highness the Imperial Grandson! I've heard that all the resources in the world have been transported to the Central Plains to help develop it!"

……

Of course, in addition to the development in the Central Plains, the development in the distant Western Continent, which was formerly the region of the Western countries, was also quite rapid.

Look around.

Stone brick houses are rising from the ground.

Simultaneously.

Multiple railways were built between different regions, and steam engines were widely used in this western continent.

Currently.

Train stations in England, France, Castilla, Rome, and others have all been successfully built!

With the popularization of railways, the people of Xizhou also personally experienced the tremendous changes brought about by the steam engine.

Along the Mediterranean coast.

Merchants from this western continent also purchased many steam-powered merchant ships.

Before the advent of steamships, it would have taken these merchants at least six months, or even a year, to transport goods from the Western Continent to the Central Plains.

But now.

With the replacement of ordinary ships with steamships, goods from the Western Continent could be transported to ports in the Central Plains in no more than a month.

The shortened timeframe has strengthened the connection between Xizhou and the Central Plains, and has also significantly increased the income of the people of Xizhou.

Inside this merchant ship.

The sailors from the West had already loaded all the cargo onto the steamship, and with a series of roars, the fully loaded steamship officially departed from the port.

On this deck, the sailors kept waving to their families in the harbor!

Next.

These sailors will continue their long journey to the Central Plains aboard steam merchant ships.

It's obvious.

Every sailor's face was filled with excitement and longing.

"Great! We can finally go to the Central Plains! I've heard that the Central Plains is the richest place in the world! It's full of gold!"

"Not only that! About six months ago, I visited the Central Plains. The Central Plains are developing very rapidly. The number of railways there is almost dozens of times that of our Western Continent!"

"I've heard that the Han people in the Central Plains are quite wealthy, and they have a large number of workshops!"

"That's natural! The Central Plains is the most developed place in the world, and their steam engine technology is already quite advanced."

"Since we were ruled by the Ming Empire, our development has been quite rapid. In just a few short years, we have even acquired steamships."

"That's true. I don't want to go back to the days of being ruled by the royal family. I'm enjoying my life now!"

……

For these ordinary people of Xizhou, although they had only been under the rule of the Ming Empire for about three years, the Ming Empire had carried out a great deal of construction in Xizhou during those three years.

The lives of the people in this western continent are clearly much better than before.

This is why no rebellions occurred in various parts of the Western Continent.

It can be said.

The people of Xizhou are truly grateful to the Ming Empire!
After all, without the Ming Dynasty, there would have been no steam technology, and their lives would not have improved.

In the South Continent.

In this vast desert.

Castles are rising one after another. You must know that before the Ming Dynasty ruled the Southern Continent, the people here had no choice but to make a living, let alone have a house.

But now.

After the Ming Dynasty conquered this region and renamed this hot land as Nanzhou, it can be said that the quality of life of the people here was undoubtedly greatly improved.

Textile workshops and some iron smelting workshops from the Central Plains also moved to this Southern Continent to establish themselves.

Also.

The Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty also built several railways in this southern continent to facilitate the travel of the local people. Of course, most importantly, steam engine technology was also introduced to the southern continent.

Because most of the South Continent is desert and extremely hot, it is very arid and has very little water resources. However, with the application of steam pumps, the people of the South Continent have basically achieved water freedom.

Simultaneously.

The Ming Dynasty would also regularly teach farming techniques to the local people and teach them the Han language.

Although the development of the Southern Continent has not yet reached that of the Western Continent, it is already much better than before.

……

In the capital city.

Inside the Imperial Guard's camp.

Zhu Ying also came specifically to check on the growth of the [Longevity Fruit Tree].

Look around.

The branches and leaves of the Longevity Fruit Tree have become much more lush. Although there has been no war in the Ming Empire for the past three years or so, it has launched several invasions during the Late Jin Dynasty and the Late Ming Dynasty.

The battles in this small world also allow the [Longevity Fruit Tree] to absorb nutrients.

However, during these three years of warfare, whether in the world of the "Five Barbarian Tribes at the End of the Jin Dynasty" or in this world of the "End of the Ming Dynasty," the army of the Ming Empire won one victory after another, which made the territory of the Ming Dynasty grow larger and larger.

Zhu Ying knew very well that it wouldn't be long before the Ming Dynasty would achieve unification in both the "Late Jin Dynasty and the Five Barbarian Tribes" and the "Late Ming Dynasty."

By then...

Once the Longevity Fruit Tree can no longer absorb the blood essence from the battlefield, it naturally cannot continue to grow strong.

Of course, Zhu Ying still has three small world coordinates that have not yet been activated.

According to Zhu Ying's plan, after the Ming Empire has developed for a period of time, he will open these three [space portals] one after another. In this way, the Ming Empire will continue to slaughter!

Similarly, the Longevity Fruit Tree can continue to grow stronger.

At this time.

Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has also arrived.

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

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

To be honest, Guo Zhen was quite excited when he saw Zhu Ying arrive, after all, he had been busy capturing dinosaurs in this [prehistoric world] for more than three years.

Zhu Ying is rarely seen.

"Guo Zhen, how did you complete the task I assigned you?" Upon Guo Zhen's arrival, Zhu Ying naturally inquired about the dinosaur capture.

Guo Zhen, without any hesitation, immediately replied, "Your Highness, everything is proceeding smoothly."

"Now, hundreds of dinosaurs are transported to the Royal Guard's camp every day through the space portal, where they are then trained by professional trainers."

Guo Zhen reported the truth to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying was fairly satisfied after hearing this.

He nodded slightly and said, "Very good. There are a great number of dinosaurs in this [Prehistoric World]. We must make good use of this [Prehistoric World]. In the future, this [Prehistoric World] will be the armory of our Great Ming Empire."

"In the future, the Dinosaur Legion will participate in more and more battles."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Guo Zhen looked somewhat puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, the world is now unified, and as far as I know, the expansion of the Five Barbarian Tribes at the end of the Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty is almost over."

"Looking around, the Ming Empire had almost no rivals."

Zhu Ying said with a smile, "Although it's not there now, it doesn't mean it won't be in the future."

"In the future, the Ming Empire's opponents will become stronger and stronger, and they may even encounter forces that are stronger than the Ming Empire itself."

"So, this dinosaur army still needs to be replenished as soon as possible."

Zhu Ying understood that once he activated these three small world coordinates, especially the first-order world coordinates, the Ming Empire would face an even greater test.

and.

After the fifty-year protection period ends, the Ming Dynasty civilization will be discovered by other interstellar civilizations. At that time, the Ming Empire will naturally face even more terrifying adversaries.

Of course.

He didn't tell Guo Zhen these things in detail, but only ordered Guo Zhen to continue capturing dinosaurs.

"The number of Pterosaur, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Velociraptor armies must be increased exponentially, the more the better. Only with a larger dinosaur army will the military strength of the Ming Empire be stronger."

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Guo Zhen did not hesitate and quickly replied, "This subordinate obeys!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this humble general will do his utmost to lead the Imperial Guards to capture even more dinosaurs!"

……

After returning from the Imperial Guard camp, Zhu Ying went to the Wenyuan Pavilion. Now, with the rapid development of the Ming Empire, people in all regions are living in peace and prosperity, which has also strengthened the fortune of the Ming Dynasty once again.

even.

The Ming Dynasty's fortunes had reached their zenith.

Therefore, Zhu Ying decided to make good use of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune to help Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao break through to new heights.

Coincidentally, when Zhu Ying arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were both there.

"Xiongying has arrived."

"Sit down quickly!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Ying arrive, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to personally feel the changes that had taken place over the past three years. Undoubtedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the national policies formulated by Zhu Ying.

"Xiongying, in recent years, our Great Ming Empire has been recuperating and developing rapidly. Not only have the people of the Central Plains lived a good life, but the lives of people in the Southern and Northern Continents have also changed dramatically."

"All of this is thanks to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang praised Zhu Ying from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Old man, don't be so polite. We're all family."

"I actually have some good news to tell you about my visit today."

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately lit up with interest.

"U.A., tell me quickly, what's the good news!"

Zhu Ying calmly replied, "Old man, in these three years, the Ming Empire has been developing rapidly, and the people of the whole country are living in peace and prosperity, which has brought the Ming Empire to its peak."

"I feel that the fortune of the Ming Empire is now sufficient to help you and Father break through your cultivation levels."

Upon hearing that they could break through their cultivation level with the help of the Ming Dynasty's fortune, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who was standing beside him, became excited. Zhu Biao immediately asked, "Xiong Ying, do you mean that my father and I can advance our cultivation level from this martial arts realm?"

Zhu Ying nodded and continued, "That's exactly right."

"After breaking through the martial arts realm, the two of you will enter the Grandmaster realm."

"Grandmaster... Excellent! Excellent!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed immediately, "Xiongying, there's no time to lose, hurry up and help me improve my cultivation level! I've been dreaming of becoming a Grandmaster!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not understand the Grandmaster realm, he believed that his strength would be greatly enhanced after reaching this realm.

Zhu Biao, standing to the side, asked expectantly, "Xiong Ying, what changes will occur to your body if you advance to the Grandmaster realm?"

"Hmm...you two will have to experience it for yourselves." Zhu Ying didn't say it directly, but kept it a secret.

"But, Xiong Ying, Biao'er and I have only been in the Martial Dao Realm for a few years. How can we improve our cultivation level so quickly? We haven't been cultivating much these past few years, have we?"

Zhu Ying smiled and explained, "Don't worry, old man, it'll definitely work."

"Don't forget, the true dragon energy within you two is bound to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Empire has achieved unification."

"In addition, in recent years, the people of the whole country have lived in peace and prosperity, and the country has developed rapidly, which has also brought the Ming Dynasty to its peak."

"As long as I protect you, you will naturally be able to break through your cultivation level!"

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's confidence, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were immediately eager to get started.

"it is good!"

"In that case, let's hurry up and protect the Dharma so that Biao'er and I can break through our cultivation levels again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was clearly impatient.
