Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

There is so much money now, and it is getting more and more. It is definitely not a good thing, and some money needs to be spent.

Just like this time, Zhu Houzhao spent 10 million taels of silver in one go to fight the war. Moreover, this was only the initial expenditure, and money would continue to be invested in this war in the future.

According to Zhu Houzhao's estimate, he plans to spend 80 million to 100 million taels in this year's war with Dayuan, striving to completely defeat Dayuan's main army this winter.

Anyway, isn’t it just money?
It was precisely because of Zhu Houzhao's money-spending behavior that the Ming Dynasty's advantage was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, in November of the fifth year of Zhengde, Wang Meng and Chen Qingzhi led Wei Yan, Jiang Wei and many other generals on the grassland. Defeat Wokuotai's 35-strong army.

At the cost of more than 50,000 losses on his own side, he completely defeated Wokuotai's army.

Less than three days later, Zhang Liao also defeated Subotai's army, beheading more than 50,000 people, and Cao Cao's army advanced layer by layer.

It also took Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei's army half a year to defeat the Yuan army that guarded the original Xixia, and occupied Xingqing City, the original capital of Xixia.

Suddenly, the entire Zongwu Continent was boiling!
The entire Zongwu Continent is in a state of excitement because of Daming's performance this month.

That was Dayuan. Once upon a time, Dayuan was the most powerful military country on the Zongwu Continent.

Even the emperors of some countries, such as Li Shimin and Yingzheng, were actually worried at the beginning that the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty would not be able to survive.

After all, before Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty was somewhat in the sunset.

Li Shimin and Ying Zheng were also worried that the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty would be annexed by the Yuan Dynasty, and with Kublai Khan's ability, the Yuan Dynasty would really become a real behemoth by then, and some countries would really not be the Yuan Dynasty by then. opponent.

Even if Li Shimin captured Sui and Yingzheng captured Han, it would not work.

But no one expected that Dayuan would suffer such a defeat.

The large-scale war between Ming Dynasty and Dayuan in winter was beyond everyone's expectations. Especially when they knew that Zhu Houzhao, a prodigal, directly spent money to fight against Dayuan, they didn't know how to complain. .

No country has the confidence to fight a war like Zhu Houzhao.

How many leeks did this cut on the bodies of the landlords, officials and gentry?! Not even Kublai Khan could do this. Although Kublai Khan also killed many people, if anyone could stop Dayuan, Kublai Khan would They were all killed along the way.

But Kublai Khan cut off the leeks right down to the roots in one go. He really didn’t care whether the leeks would grow back or not. Therefore, Kublai Khan was really not as rich as Zhu Houzhao. .

Even Kublai Khan often chose to fight to support war. Because of their barbaric destruction, this also led to the fact that Kublai Khan's war resources were not particularly rich. If he needed resources in peacetime, he could just plunder them. .

But now, Kublai Khan really doesn't have many resources.

No matter how great their family was in the Yuan Dynasty, no matter how powerful their military power was, at least 800,000 people were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty in this year's war.

Including the losses in previous years, this amounted to more than one million.

Moreover, because of the defeat of Wokuotai and others, the Yuan Dynasty was defeated like a mountain, and a large amount of land was occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the land, but also the new forces of the Yuan Dynasty were constantly being wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, everyone was actually very clear that in attacking Dayuan this time, if there was land that could be occupied, we would occupy it.

But the first requirement is to eliminate Dayuan's army and consume Dayuan's effective forces. If they encounter young and middle-aged herdsmen, they will directly capture them and build the railway. After all, Daming's railway still needs a lot of manpower. For Daming, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed.

Cheng Yu even promised Zhu Houzhao that if Zhu Houzhao could arrange for one million slaves for him, he would build the railway from Yanjing to the northwest next year for Zhu Houzhao!
Even from Yanjing to the current Xueyue City, he could build it within three years.

Zhu Houzhao was still very moved by Cheng Yu's proposal. Although on the surface, some ordinary herdsmen seemed to be nothing, but if they were allowed to run away, they would become Zhu Houzhao's enemies in the future.

As for whether these people would hate him for this, Zhu Houzhao didn't care. He would change the situation of the grassland subtly.

Compared with Kublai Khan's behavior of directly destroying a tribe at every turn, Zhu Houzhao thought that he was too kind.

Aren’t you just working for Ming Dynasty for a period of time?
If these people behave well, Zhu Houzhao can still let them live in the future.

Moreover, working as slaves and building railways for the Ming Dynasty also allowed these people to survive!!
As for the grassland people, Zhu Houzhao is not particularly lacking. After all, Wasi belongs to Zhu Houzhao now.

In the final analysis, Waqi is actually part of Dayuan.

For now, the first step of the Ming Dynasty's attack on Dayuan has been completed. In the past few months, the Ming Dynasty has occupied almost twice the grassland of Oara on the Dayuan side, and also occupied many cities.

And all these territories combined are not inferior to the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

If there weren't several armies attacking Dayuan together, otherwise, it would take a lot of time to occupy so much land...

It's just that these territories are nothing to Dayuan, and they are only one-fifth of Dayuan's total territory.

Dayuan is just too big.

However, according to Zhu Houzhao's estimate, Dayuan's army only had less than 70 left at most.

Of course, this number is a huge number for any country, and it is difficult for the Southern Song Dynasty to come up with an army of 70.

Not only the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the Sui Kingdom had a hard time raising an army of this size.

It can be said that even if its wings were removed by Zhu Houzhao, Dayuan is still a behemoth to ordinary countries.

Of course, for Ming Dynasty, there is almost no threat to Dayuan now.

However, Zhu Houzhao still chose to kill you while you were sick.

Although Zhu Houzhao also wanted to take this opportunity to let the army rest, after all, his army and Dayuan's army had been fighting for more than half a year, and it was time to rest.

But if he can't hold it back, now is a good opportunity for Daming. He needs to continue attacking Dayuan.

Daming's army was already feeling tired, but Dayuan's side was even more tired than Daming's side.

Daming still had the advantage, but Dayuan was losing ground.

Also because the main army of Dayuan was completely destroyed, the chaos within Dayuan could not be completely concealed. (End of chapter)
