Sharing the Heavens Starting from Douluo Continent

Chapter 86 Establishing the Ming Dynasty

But as the saying goes, even a broken ship has three thousand nails!

Although the Yuan Dynasty was already quite corrupt at this time, it had still ruled the Central Plains for nearly a century, and it was still capable of assembling an elite army with the full strength of the country.

With a single order from the Yuan emperor, an elite army of 100,000 soldiers rushed to the front lines at top speed, halting the advance of the anti-Yuan army.

Unfortunately, in front of Dai Changsheng, who is a cheat code, even a hundred thousand elite troops are nothing.

In order to transform into a true battlefield god of war, Dai Changsheng specially had a set of exclusive equipment made for him.

In addition to the Xuan Tie Zhanma Dao (a type of sword) reforged from fragments of the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, there is also a set of metal armor weighing over 300 jin (approximately 150 kg), which can completely ignore the rain of swords, spears, and arrows on the battlefield.

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by a thunderous sound of hooves, a cavalry legion of one thousand heavily armored cavalrymen launched the first charge against the anti-Yuan army.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang and his men were preparing to temporarily avoid the enemy's advance, Dai Changsheng, dressed in metal armor, raised his black iron horse-slaying saber and took the initiative to meet the fierce, heavily armored cavalry.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Before everyone's incredulous eyes, the heavy cavalry, who should have been invincible, were slaughtered by Dai Changsheng as if cutting melons and vegetables.

When Dai Changsheng unleashed his true power, each swing of his sword generated a force of tens of thousands of jin, shattering men and horses in his wake, with blood and limbs flying everywhere.

In the eyes of those Yuan soldiers, Dai Changsheng, whose body was stained with blood, looked like a demon crawling out of the eighteenth level of hell.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and his men, Dai Changsheng was an invincible war god at this time!

"Brothers, follow me and kill them all!"

"Kill them!"

Seeing that Dai Changsheng had single-handedly broken through the most difficult cavalry legion, the anti-Yuan army, having regained their senses, charged towards the Yuan army like madmen, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Faced with the high morale of the anti-Yuan army, the Yuan army, whose morale had plummeted, was powerless to resist and began to retreat in defeat as soon as the battle began.

Especially after Dai Changsheng broke through the enemy lines and beheaded the commander-in-chief and cut off his banner, the remaining Yuan army completely lost their will to resist and collapsed in an instant!

With Dai Changsheng and his men achieving a great victory in this battle, it also foreshadowed the complete demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

……

Time flies like an arrow; more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, two earth-shattering events have also occurred in the Central Plains.

First, Dai Changsheng led the anti-Yuan army into the Yuan imperial palace, slaughtered the Yuan royal family, and officially overthrew the Yuan dynasty.

Secondly, surrounded by many founding generals, Dai Changsheng donned the yellow robe, ascended the throne, established the reign title Hongwu, and changed the country's name to "Da Ming".

Because the Ming Dynasty had just been established, Dai Changsheng's first imperial edict in order to win over the people was to exempt the people of the Ming Dynasty from taxes for three years.

In any case, Dai Changsheng had killed off the Yuan royal family and high-ranking officials. All the wealth they had plundered from the people over the years had gone to Dai Changsheng, enough to maintain the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty for twenty or thirty years. So there was no need for him to covet the meager earnings of ordinary people.

Moreover, Dai Changsheng planned to build a large naval force to destroy Japan and seize the large silver mines there once the country was stable. Then he would no longer have to worry about not having enough money.

As for whether those silver mines, worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver, will cause a financial crisis within the Ming Dynasty, there is even less to worry about.

Dai Changsheng isn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't use all that silver within the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he would use it to aggressively acquire resources from neighboring countries.

Once those greedy merchants have exchanged all the goods for useless silver, the surrounding countries will surely fall into turmoil. At that time, Dai Changsheng can openly send the Ming Dynasty's royal army to "aid" them.

Don't ask why Dai Changsheng is so kind; the answer is simply—he is benevolent!

In addition to granting a general amnesty, Dai Changsheng also promoted the Ming Cult to become the state religion. At the same time, under the pretext of worshipping the Ming Venerable, he persuaded the people to change from burial to cremation.

According to the teachings of the Ming Cult, only by cremating the bodies of the dead can their souls enter the divine kingdom of the Ming Venerable.

Dai Changsheng promoted the cremation system mainly because it could reduce the spread of diseases.

At first, this move provoked opposition from many people, but after Dai Changsheng announced that he would also be cremated after his death, few people objected anymore.

……

Resident Evil World

China, Shanghai.

More than a month has passed since Dai Changsheng last entered the gray fog space.

During this period, in addition to developing telekinesis every day, Dai Changsheng also took the opportunity to establish a survivor base.

The survivor base was originally a department store. After Dai Changsheng cleaned out the zombies inside, he transformed it into a survivor base.

The latest novel is first published here!

Currently, the survivor base has gathered more than 300 survivors, most of whom are young adults.

After all, reality is different from movies. In a post-apocalyptic world fraught with crises, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled who lack the ability to protect themselves will definitely be the first to be eliminated.

Because the department store has a sufficient supply of daily necessities, the survivors do not need to worry about food shortages in the short term.

However, Dai Changsheng had no intention of becoming a nanny, and it was impossible for him to protect the safety of hundreds of survivors on his own.

Therefore, Dai Changsheng selected some suitable martial arts techniques and taught them to the survivors.

To prevent the survivors from having any improper thoughts, Dai Changsheng did not intend to teach them overly powerful martial arts, but rather some relatively easy-to-master third-rate martial arts.

Those third-rate martial arts can be roughly divided into three types: lightness skills, hidden weapons, and swordsmanship.

After learning light-footed skills and hidden weapons, the survivors were able to move freely when dealing with zombies.

Once the knife skills are mastered, survivors can use them to kill zombies at close range while searching for supplies, thus avoiding being killed at the door.

Since the survivors learned martial arts, the survivor base has gradually become more organized. Trivial tasks such as clearing out ordinary zombies, searching for supplies and other survivors no longer require Dai Changsheng to personally take charge.

Only when the survivors encounter hordes of zombie dogs or powerful zombies like Lickers will they need to trouble their leader, Dai Changsheng.

Unfortunately, what no one knew was that as the number of survivors and their range of activity continued to expand, they also fell under the Red Queen's surveillance.
