Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 295 The Prince
Now, even Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Wuying often stay in the palace of Prince Zhao.

Zhu Qi simply no longer adheres to the formal practice in practice. Otherwise, if everyone was so disturbing, Zhu Qi would have escaped from Prince Zhao's Mansion long ago.

These situations in the Ming Dynasty's imperial capital can only be regarded as a minor episode in the face of the general trend of the world.

Now, the eyes of the Ming Empire and the entire Chinese mainland are focused on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Ying four years.

The Eastern Expedition army advanced step by step, preparing to completely annex the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In May, the Tang royal family fled north to the Han Empire and requested the Han Empire to send troops.

June.

The Han Empire, which had been preparing for a long time, brazenly sent out troops to compete with the Ming Empire to seize the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

October.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army, which occupied [-]% of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Han army, which went south to seize nearly [-]% of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, started a war.

In this battle, the Han Empire suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw its troops.Because the Eastern Expeditionary Army occupies too much territory, it is unable to fight anymore for the time being.

Finally, the Han Empire used half of the territory of the Tang Empire as a barrier to confront the Ming Empire.

At the end of the fourth year of Wuying's reign, the large-scale fighting in the Tang Dynasty had ended.

The Tang Empire was destroyed.

Wu Ying five years.

The Ming Empire divided the territory of the Tang Dynasty into the southeastern region and the eastern region of the empire.

The territory in the southeastern region of the empire is quite complete.

But the territory of the Eastern Region of the Empire, based on the topography of the Chinese mainland, is only half of the territory of the Eastern Region.The remaining half of the territory in the Eastern Region is still in the hands of the Han Empire.

Emperor Wu Ying originally wanted to merge half of the Eastern Region into the Southeast Region to keep the territory of the Tang Empire intact.But both the cabinet and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies agreed with the independent division of the Eastern Region.

Now, the Eastern Region has become the frontline of the confrontation between the Ming Empire and the Han Empire.

The independent division of the Eastern Region will help the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to dispatch troops and build defense lines in the Eastern Region.

Of course, the Eastern Region is independent.With the Eastern Region as a barrier, the cabinet is also able to manage the Southeast Region with ease.

In March, the sixth year of Wuying's reign.

After the empire's rule in the southeastern and eastern regions became somewhat stable, Prince Zhu Wenkeng was ordered to return to the imperial capital.

The prince, who had been away from the imperial capital for five years since Wuying's first year, won everyone's recognition with the collapse of the Tang Empire.

May.

Emperor Wu Ying decreed that the prince, who had just returned to the imperial capital for two months, would go on a patrol on behalf of the emperor to inspect the eight regions of the empire.Central Territory, North Territory, Northwest Territory, Western Territory, Southwest Territory, South Territory, Southeast Territory, and Eastern Territory.

The young and heroic prince led his personal guards and measured every territory of the empire with his feet. .

Along the way, Prince Zhu Wenkeng used countless people's heads to establish his supreme prestige.Especially in the Northern and Southern Territories, countless local wealthy families, wealthy families, and corrupt officials who oppressed the people were either uprooted by the prince, or ordered by the prince to move their families to the central territory.

The prince's cruel methods silenced everyone in the court.

In front of the joint edicts of three generations of emperors, Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Xiaokang, and Emperor Wuying, the civil and military officials who had just had some ideas quickly stopped and began to self-examine and correct themselves.

Since the founding of the Ming Empire, there has been no deposed prince, and every generation of princes has held great power.The civil and military officials want to stumbling upon the prince, but the royal family will not agree.

Moreover, although Prince Zhu Wenkeng's methods were cruel, they were not unacceptable to the entire court.Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang were much crueler than the prince.

The Zhu family royal family, starting from Emperor Hongwu, are all ruthless people.

At the end of Wuying's seventh year.

The prince, who has been patrolling the world for more than a year, returned to the imperial capital again, and all the officials congratulated him.

At the beginning of Wuying's eighth year.

Emperor Wuying issued an edict that the prince had sufficient ability and prestige.The empire was handed over to the prince to supervise the country, and all matters big and small were decided by the prince.

It’s still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.Emperor Wu Ying's approach was exactly the same as that of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang.The emperor delegated power and the prince oversaw the country; it was just that the personalities of the emperor and the prince had changed.

March.

The prince, who had a military background, had just taken charge of the country and ordered the Governor-General of the Fifth Army to send troops to clean up all banditry in the eight regions of the Ming Empire within a time limit.

Since the eighth year of Wu Ying's reign, soldiers and guards under the command of the Fifth Army Commander's Office have been dispatched frequently.The bandits and bandits who disturbed the place were wiped out.There are no barriers to people-to-people exchanges, and trade routes are smooth.

July.

The prince issued an edict; subordinates of the Criminal Department of the Cabinet, the agents from the eight regions and the six gates joined forces to clean up the lawless elements in the empire's territory, and the empire began to crack down hard.

Starting from this year, all the thugs, gangsters, and hooligans entrenched in various cities were arrested by the empire and began to undergo labor reform.The imperial ethos was completely cleared.

October.

The Jinyi Guards rode out in four directions, cooperating with the six gates to comb the rivers and lakes of the eight regions of the Ming Empire.

The black and white martial arts masters all bowed their heads when facing the imperial guards.Various sects and forces have sent elite disciples to serve in the six gates to serve the empire.

The empire's control over the world skyrocketed.

November.

Emperor Hongwu issued an edict and the Royal House of Elders established lower houses in each domain.

The Council of Elders assigned royal children to guard the towns in the eight regions of the empire.

The Council of Elders stipulates that all members of the royal family who guard the eight regions will be given a term every four years.Only after the period has expired can he return to the imperial capital to report on his duties.

Wu Ying's ninth year.

The prince approved the Ministry of Works' proposal to build four official roads.

The central mountain range of the Shenzhou Continent stretches across, almost dividing the entire Shenzhou Continent into two.

Now, the Ming Empire has destroyed the Tang Empire and established two territories.However, the roads to the east of the empire were difficult to navigate, which was extremely detrimental to the rule of the empire.

Three of the four official roads planned by the Ministry of Industry are from the southern region to the southeastern region.The other is the road from the Central Region to the Eastern Region.

As long as these four roads are completed, the Ming Empire will be able to completely integrate the two eastern regions into the empire.

Moreover, once the road is opened, the soldiers, horses, money and food of the Ming Empire can be quickly transported to the Eastern Front.

Wuying's tenth year, April.

On the battlefield of the Eastern Region, the war between the Han Empire and the Ming Empire resumed.

The Ming Empire built official roads leading to the Eastern and Southeastern Regions, which posed a great threat to the Han Empire!Once the official road is completed, the Han Empire will be under great pressure in the Eastern Region.

May.

While the Ming Empire and the Han Empire were fighting fiercely in the Eastern Region, hundreds of island countries in the East China Sea formed a coalition and plundered hundreds of miles of coasts in the Eastern and Southeastern Regions.

The news spread back to the imperial capital, and the prince was furious.

During the great court meeting, even Emperor Wu Ying, who had rarely appeared in public recently, scolded all the civil and military officials with a cold face.

Since the founding of the Ming Empire, this was the first time that foreigners invaded and plundered hundreds of miles of imperial territory.

During the reigns of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang, the Ming Empire had no land gods in charge, so the two emperors managed to maintain the empire.But externally, the Ming Empire's military power was not weak at all. On the western grassland border, the Ming Empire had more offense than defense.

Now, the Ming Empire is at its peak of national power, but people are knocking on the door and plundering the people.

Not to mention Emperor Wu Ying and the prince, even the civil and military officials were all filled with righteous indignation.

In May, the cabinet and the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief worked together to dispatch supplies, generals and troops to the southeastern region to strangle the East China Sea Allied Forces.

In October, the East China Sea Allied Forces suffered heavy losses in a joint encirclement and suppression campaign by the Imperial Army and Navy and retreated to the East China Sea.

In November, the Han Empire, which had been fighting fiercely with the Ming Empire in the Eastern Region for more than half a year, withdrew its troops.Peace was restored to the eastern territories of the empire.
