My Daming New Empire

The Wudang family is still there, and will become one of Yang Zhangde's foreign aids in the future.

The completion of the Golden Palace is also a symbol of Wudang becoming the ancestral home of Taoism in the world. This time, the ceremony of fasting and offering sacrifices was also held very grandly. All the famous Taoist temples in the world sent people to congratulate them.

But Yang Zhangde was calm on the surface, but he was very anxious in his heart.His Royal Highness Taisun is about to go to war, but he is still thousands of miles away.

After finally waiting until April [-]th, the birthday of Emperor Ziwei in the North Pole, and all the rituals of fasting and sacrificial offerings in Wudang, he couldn't wait to say goodbye and prepare to return to Beijing.

Along with Xuan Cheng, there were 36 nephews who accompanied him. They had lay disciples, but most of them were Taoist priests of the Qing generation.

But in order to curry favor with Zhu Zhanji, they also ignored the reserve of the monks, and wanted to establish a closer relationship with the heir to the empire.

These days, the happiest thing is Li Qinger's new year. She originally married Yang Zhangde, who was born in a reckless family, for the fate of her family.

But I didn't expect that although this husband seemed vicious, he was very considerate to her. Even when he came to Wudang this time, he would keep her by his side and let her see a lot.

Since she was a child, it was the first time she went out like this.Therefore, she is even more satisfied with this husband now, and she took the initiative to help Yang Zhangde fill in the gaps and acted as his military adviser.

This made Yang Zhangde even more satisfied with his wife. The two of them could be said to be like ducks in water, and the honey was in harmony.

Thank you, Da Sui Zhang Degong, super cowardly hairball, see people with lights, and reward with bamboo sticks, thank you brothers for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

April nineteenth.Guisi month.Ding Weiri.

Compared to the quietness of the expedition a few years ago, this expedition can be described as a big one.

First of all, last year was Zhu Zhanji's first expedition. No one knows whether he can make the army move like a finger and win the battle.Secondly, the extermination of the Japanese pirates also needs to be kept secret, otherwise the Japanese pirates get the news and run away, and the army will be caught blind.

But this time is different. Last year's war has proved Zhu Zhanji's coordination ability.Moreover, the generals of several major fleets obeyed Zhu Zhanji's words, and there was no worry of disordered command.

Now that Ming has two bases on Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, it has a stronghold for attacking Japan, so there is no need to worry about the army having no place to rest.

And this time it's the use of force against Japan's homeland, so there's no need to worry about them absconding.Monks who can escape cannot escape from the temple, so there is such a big Dongpu, and there are attack points everywhere.

So this time the expedition was made with great fanfare. In addition to the navy adding tens of thousands of troops, even the landing force prepared 3 people.

Moreover, this was also the first large-scale use of firearms by the Ming army. The firearms battalion with Liu Sheng as the commander-in-chief had 6000 musketeers alone.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji's Habayashi Guard is also equipped with [-] double-barreled firecrackers, and the number of musketeers alone is nearly [-].

Today's Japan is still in the era of cold weapons. Except for a small number of small artillery, the number of firecrackers is probably not even a thousand. Such an advantage in warfare, no matter how brave the Japanese are, cannot offset the gap in technology.

Of course, another reason why everyone is so confident is that Daming's fleet is invincible.As long as the Japanese sea power is destroyed, the Ming army can choose the battlefield at will, making the Japanese exhausted.

The speed of the ship is much faster than that of deploying troops on the shore. When the Ming army can take the initiative to choose the battlefield, it can beat the coastline of Japan to be riddled with holes.

The only thing that can help the Dongying people is the typhoon.

However, the annual typhoon season is generally after June. As long as precautions are taken, Daming will not repeat the mistakes of Meng Yuan.

After all, Daming's shipbuilding technology today is more than one level higher than that of the Meng and Yuan Dynasties.

At the Yuejianglou Wharf, the noon is coming, Zhu Zhanji knelt down on one knee, and gave a military salute to the prince Zhu Gaochi who came to see him off, and said: "Father, there is no need to send him off, and the child will let the traitors of Dongying bow their heads and bow their heads. Show me the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanji sat on the soft couch, his fat body was covered with sweat. "Ki'er must remember that everything in the world is life, so don't make a fool of yourself and go to Dongying, use both suppression and comfort, and care should be the main thing."

He glanced at Zhu Zhanji's right rear, lowered his voice and said: "Let other small countries know the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, and let them know that my Ming Dynasty is merciful."

At this time, of course Zhu Zhanji would not argue with him, and simply responded: "My child obeys!"

Zhu Zhanji stood up, bowed to Zhu Gaochi again, then straightened up, raised his right arm, and then the neat sound of gongs and drums sounded.

With the beat of the drum, Zhu Zhanji, who was all in military uniform, walked step by step to the pontoon bridge built by more than a dozen small boats, and boarded the flagship treasure ship parked in the middle of the river.

The drums on the ship sounded immediately, and a yellow flag with bright sun and moon was gradually raised.

At this time, the generals waiting on the pier lined up to board the treasure ship one by one.Behind them, nearly a hundred envoys from other small countries boarded the treasure ship as a viewing group.

These envoys were suggested by Zhu Zhanji to send Zhu Di on board. The purpose was to let them know the strength of Ming Dynasty and prevent them from rebelling.

In this era, no matter how effective it is to hold a military parade, it has no greater impact than letting them experience the war in person.

They boarded a boat with Zhu Zhanji here, but when they arrived at Xinjiangkou, they would be assigned to a special warship.

Da Ming only wanted them to experience the war firsthand, but he would not let them understand how Da Ming's army only operated systematically.

At noon, the auspicious time had come. Nearly [-] navy soldiers hoisted the iron anchor weighing several thousand catties, and hundreds of soldiers hoisted the sails of the twelve masts.

Coupled with the steering team composed of more than 100 people, the giant ship slowly sailed downstream along the river.

Countless onlookers cheered loudly, a head taller than ordinary people, and the heroic Zhu Zhanji won the confidence of all the people.

No one doubts Zhu Zhanji's ability, nor does anyone doubt that Zhu Zhanji will lose the battle.Because the confidence given to them by Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, was built up little by little in the past.

They beheaded 43 people from the first expedition to the grasslands, and last year they killed tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and captured tens of thousands of them.

This is just an achievement on the battlefield, but what established the myth of his invincibility and divine authority is his influence on the people of Ming Dynasty on weekdays.

He flew to the sky alone, he established a research institute, and established the Jiajiang Industrial Zone, which directly affected countless people from spiritual to daily life.

Everyone couldn't be more satisfied with this heir to the empire. They don't believe that this heir to the empire with great fortune will not be able to conquer a small Japan.

But Zhu Zhanji knows very well that it is easy to defeat Japan, but it is not so easy to conquer Japan.

He is also unwilling to spend too much energy in Japan, as long as this war can achieve the strategic goal, it is enough.

Daming needs to establish hierarchical social circles in neighboring countries, so that the people of Daming are naturally higher than other small countries, and other small countries must yearn for Daming, not the world.

The people on the boat could no longer see clearly, and Zhu Gaochi, who was extremely envious in his heart, sighed and said, "Go back to the palace..."

He also wanted to be like his own son, to rule the world, but he knew that this would never be possible.

This body has dragged him down too much!

As soon as Zhu Zhanji boarded the ship, Huang Yuan summoned generals from all parties. Although these people only accounted for a small half of the major fleets, most of them belonged to the order system of the Navy Headquarters.

They are responsible for the smooth command and command during the expedition of the army, and they must first determine their respective tasks and operational regulations before they are separated.

When the treasure ship arrived at the naval camp in Xinjiangkou, hundreds of giant ships that had already prepared their marching formations stopped side by side on the river.

The envoys on board were transported to a two-thousand-stone battleship by small boats, and the army continued to set off.

The sky gradually darkened, and fires were lit at intervals on both sides of the river bank. These fires were used as road guides, for fear that some warships would deviate from the channel and run aground on the shore.

By the next morning, the fleet had already arrived at Dongdao of Chongming Island.

The Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, which received the order, are already waiting here. Zhu Zhanji ordered the generals to hold the last large meeting before the expedition.
