The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 155 Opening the next legend

The so-called West Sea refers to the Mediterranean Sea.

When Qiang Han opened the Western Regions, when he saw the blue sea, that is, Qinghai Lake, he didn't think it was a lake, and he thought it was the sea, the West Sea in the far west.

Later, the Han and Tang Dynasties continued to expand westward, and after seeing the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea, the name of the West Sea also moved westward.

When the Turks were beaten away, they rushed all the way west to the seaside, and the name of the West Sea fell on the head of the Mediterranean Sea.

It is more than ten thousand miles away from Middle-earth.

Li Yunze didn't urge Zhu Gaosui either, and gave him enough time to think about it.

After all, it is not a trivial matter to travel thousands of miles west with the whole family far away from the familiar homeland.

Li Yunze was still busy with the state affairs of Ming Dynasty, and there were countless things.

If he hadn't been preparing the army and training soldiers to stockpile a large amount of supplies, the civil servants would have believed that he had changed his nature and disliked fighting.

Naturally, wars still had to be fought, and Li Yunze was just making preparations before going out.

He didn't want to receive news of internal chaos during the expedition.

After careful consideration, Zhu Gaosui finally agreed to Li Yunze's suggestion and chose to take the whole family to the distant West Sea.

The relatives mentioned here are naturally not the clan, but the family of the old men.

Coupled with huge rewards and immigrants who want to start subdividing hundreds of acres of land, they set off for the Far West with the fleet that keeps going back and forth.

After sending Zhu Gaosui away, Li Yunze immediately ordered the complete recovery of the military power of the various palaces, and gave them a choice to go out of the town to a distant place.

It clearly stated that there is no need for vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, and all vassal kings must be in remote places.

For those who recognized earlier, Li Yunze arranged for them to go to Nanyang.

If Momo Jiji is unwilling, then arrange to go directly to Australia and various large islands.

After arranging the clan, Li Yunze began to strengthen the suppression of civil servants.

Jinyiwei continued to expand again and again.Moreover, he also set up the East Factory and the West Factory to strengthen the ability of intelligence monitoring.

As for the various voices of opposition, would Li Yunze care about that?
With the popularization of compulsory education, many scholars of the new era with the names of disciples of the Son of Heaven began to emerge.

Most of them would not be able to enter the court to be officials, but they were assigned to various yamen as subordinate officials, clerks, even yamen servants and tax collectors.

Taking advantage of the fact that the founding of the Ming Dynasty was not long ago, and the localities had not had time to solidify, Li Yunze continued to replace the dirt everywhere with fresh blood.

And there is no such thing as hereditary anymore.

Everyone has to go to school, pass the test and distribute it everywhere.

The biggest criterion is not to be in the native land.

As for the outstanding ones, they continued to enter courts and local yamen, gradually compressing and occupying the power of civil servants.

The knowledge monopolized by civil servants is broken, which is the inevitable result.

Those children from poor families who were not even worthy of being civilians in the eyes of civil servants changed their destiny by going to school.

Of course there are all kinds of repetitions.

The civil servants and the gentry behind them counterattacked, and the newcomers who made their way through school failed to resist the temptation.

These are all side issues, it doesn't matter.

Li Yunze's attack was extremely ruthless, with Jin Yiwei and Dongxi No. [-] Factory attacking, if they encountered rotten meat, they would just dig it up, anyway, there were so many substitutes waiting behind.

The ecology of the entire Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Li Yunze dare not say how well he did, but at least he has tried his best.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the civil servants and gentry clusters that killed Ming and the people in the late Ming Dynasty, he tried his best to suppress them.

During these days, there were naturally actions against him.

Like a certain illness, the decoction sent by the imperial hospital contained chronic poison.

There is also Wala, who has already integrated the power of the grassland in the North, and has been supported by materials and intelligence from unknown sources, and has been going south to harass Daming and so on.

Regarding these, Li Yunze has never been merciful.

With the continuous weakening of the power of the gentry, Li Yunze finally proposed to abolish the tax exemption for scholars, and promote the gentry to pay their food as a whole.

Facing those civil servants and gentry who chanted 'this is the precept of the ancestors', Li Yunze wrote them down in a small notebook, and then directly cleaned them out.

Then, there is no more, and no one dares to oppose it.

The Tartar sword is sharp, but our sword is not bad!
Finally, after gradually pushing the gentry who only cared about their own interests and didn't care about the country and the world into the sewer, Li Yunze finally launched a military operation.

After long-term preparations, Li Yunze has an extremely sufficient reserve of materials in his hands.

All kinds of bad habits in the army have also been swept away.

Sufficiently supplied and fully paid, the Ming army's combat effectiveness has already been greatly enhanced after a long period of rigorous training.

In addition, the use of troops in the south has come to an end, and even the Spice Islands and the Australian mainland have been included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Li Yunze could finally mobilize troops.

In August of the ninth year of Xuande, Li Yunze supervised the country with the crown prince, and Yu Qian assisted in managing the country's affairs.

He himself led an army of 50 and a larger number of civilians to the north to conquer Mobei.

Everyone thought that this was a military operation similar to Zhu Di's, just to attack Oala.

But in reality, Li Yunze wanted to fight all the way to the West Sea!

When the army went out of the fortress, the choice of the Oirats was no different from that of the previous Tatars. They all avoided in an all-round way and tried to attack the logistics line of the Ming army.

But what they don't know is that the Ming army is no longer the Ming army in Zhu Di's time.

With the harvest of soybeans year after year, the Ming army, which had a large amount of high-quality feed, was already able to support a large and very elite cavalry army.

After leaving the fortress, this cavalry regiment didn't wait for the infantry at all. Under Li Yunze's personal leadership, they went straight to the royal court of the Oirats.

Under the large-scale surveillance of drones, the so-called avoidance of the Oirats is a joke.

In the season when the autumn is crisp and the horses are fat and the grass grows, the terrifying cavalry group of the Ming army suddenly rushed to the vicinity of the royal court of the Oirats, and completely wiped out the main force of the Oirats in the first battle.

Even Yexian couldn't escape, and was directly cut into his royal court.

After that, the army divided up and began to sweep away the tribes everywhere.

The herdsmen of the Han family, who had been mobilized early, took over the pastures, cattle and sheep of various tribes, and began to multiply on this vast prairie.

The Ming army, which had won brilliant victories, did not return to the court with this squadron.

Even if their victory was already enough to leave a strong mark in the history books, Li Yunze swung his army westward and directly invaded the Western Regions.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains had gradually lost the Western Regions.

Even the Kaibian of Hehuang in the Northern Song Dynasty has passed hundreds of years.

Until this time, Li Yunze finally took the Han cavalry and regained the Western Regions again.

There is no doubt that this must be a glorious victory that can be recorded in history books.

But Li Yunze still didn't have a teacher to return to court.

He mobilized civilian husbands and some soldiers to settle down in various places in the Western Regions, established prefectures and counties, and spent a small year making local arrangements.

After that, the army, which was already a half thinner, crossed the plateau and entered Lianghe.

The civilian husbands and some sergeants were left again, and they migrated from the pass to resettle.Then it turned around and went south, rushing directly into India.

With the cooperation of the fleet, this rich land was successfully captured without spending too much time and energy.

After all, the local combat power is really not worth mentioning.

It is still the previous operation, leaving the civilian husband and sergeant, and migrating the people from the pass.

After that, he returned to Lianghe with less than half of the remaining soldiers and horses, and then followed the route that the Mongols had traveled back then, all the way west and then west.

After a long battle, he finally came to the edge of the West Sea.

Looking at the blank sea in front of him, Li Yunze's heart was full of emotion.

Finally, finally here.

He met Zhu Gaosui who was waiting here to greet him by the sea.

The uncle and nephew sat by the sea and had a drink, reminiscing about the past.

They talked about Zhu Gaoxu again, saying that he is living a very good life now, and the fleet sent nearly one million migrants there, sweeping across the entire land.

The locals didn't even know how to smelt iron, and they were all shocked when they saw the Ming army with iron armor and firearms.

And Zhu Gaoxu believed that the local people were all descendants of merchants, so he built a big merchant Yunyun there.

After that, Li Yunze went to see the dug Zhenxi Canal.

Seeing the boats passing through the canal continuously, Li Yunze completely let go of his worries.

He can be regarded as completely changing the destiny of Ming Dynasty in this world.

If he continues to follow the steps he set, Daming will definitely eat up the dividends of the age of great voyages and raise the Sun Moon Dragon Flag all over the world.

The territory is expanding, the population is increasing rapidly, and the level of technology is changing with each passing day.

The most important thing is that he completely crushed the ruined civil servants and gentlemen, and took away his spine.

Standing on the shore of the West Sea, Li Yunze looked up to the sky and screamed.

"I tried my best!!!"

There is no doubt that he did try his best.

After helping Zhu Gaosui sweep the surrounding area, Li Yunze left behind a large number of civilian soldiers and returned to the court the same way.

Clean up all the way to stabilize the situation.All the way back slowly.

When he returned to his loyal Shuntian Mansion again, this miraculous large-scale expedition could finally come to an end.

Most of the 50 troops and millions of civilians who went on the expedition have been settled in the grasslands along the way, the Western Regions, Lianghe, India, and various places in the West Sea.

They are the seeds, and as more and more immigrants migrate to the past, the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years will be described as great.

As the emperor, he has done enough for Daming and done well enough.

It is completely worthy of the hard-earned money of the people of Ming Dynasty.

After paying homage to the imperial mausoleum, presenting victories at the Taimiao, etc., Li Yunze's heart was filled with emptiness.

What should be done has been done, what should be done next?
Is it necessary to recharge your batteries for a few more years, and then go on another expedition, this time going directly to Europa?

Feeling empty in his heart, Li Yunze called softly.

"system?"

'here I am. ’ The system understood his thoughts very well, and came out again. ’ You did a good job, and Daming can be proud of you. '

'You can end your journey in this world at any time now and start the next legend! '
