Since ancient times, only war can test a country's true national strength.

When fighting, you need to fight logistics, supplies, and even money.

Those who make meritorious service should be rewarded, those who suffer casualties should be pensioned. Without money, nothing can be done.

However, the conquest of Southern Tianzhu, led by the Ming Dynasty, did not involve these at all.

Logistical supplies were temporarily provided by Siam, and the rewards were also turned into "friendly sponsorship" by Zhangpuer due to the nature of this war.

Zhu Yunwen had already ordered the dividends obtained through the war to be clear before the launch of the war that the court did not want anything, he only wanted people!

This battle became easier.

In addition to the coalition forces of the six countries, the Ming border troops of Yunnan Dushi were also increasing one after another. Until the Ma Dajun marched south from Zhangpuer camp, the number of troops in the coalition forces had increased to 60,000.

The purpose of increasing troops was not to increase Ma Dajun to enhance his control over the coalition, but simply because: he couldn't get it!

The escape of Zhangpuer's Sudan to the south has already meant that the entire Zhangpuer Kingdom has completely lost resistance. Although this country, which is only half of the size of Yunnan, has a much larger population and wealth than Yunnan.

We can't let all the six countries rob them all.

“The troops of the North Delhi Sultanate have not arrived yet?”

On the front line, Ma Dajun had been waiting in the commander's tent for more than half a month, but still had not waited for the North Delhi army.

On the Ganges Plain, the sum of the two armies exceeded 300,000. The military camp tent looked down from high altitude, and even the end could not be seen even when you could see it.

"What are they waiting for?"

For this battle, Ma Dajun sent at least 500 scouts for half a month to investigate the movements of the North Delhi army.

But the military newspapers I received were calm and calm without exception. The North Delhi army was restrained?

"They are afraid too!"

Chen Chunsheng said seriously: "Our army won seven battles and won seven times. The rapid destruction of Zhangpur scared the North Delhi Sultanate. After all, indigenous countries such as Bachmani were waiting for an opportunity to drive away this group of alien races."

If you start a rash battle with the Ming Dynasty, these Green Cult military nobles are also afraid!

A battle is not fought rashly, especially a battle where hundreds of thousands of people are counting.

A large-scale battle of this scale is equivalent to a big bet. It’s okay if you win, but if you lose, you’ll be completely ruined.

"If they don't move, what are we in a hurry?"

Ma Dajun smiled and dismissed: "I wish I could confront them here for a few months. When we dig the ground and plunder the Zhangpuer Kingdom three feet behind us, we will go back to retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole handsome tent burst into laughter.

That's right? The Seven-Nation Alliance hasn't digested the entire Zhangpuer yet. If you can't fight this battle, the happiest thing is the Seven-Nation Alliance.

Let's waste it. After Zhangpur's whole country was wiped out, they returned directly. There was no North Delhi Sultanate in this strategic goal at all.

"When the road from Jiaozhi to Banggela is completed, then it will be the best time for us to destroy the North Delhi Sultanate."

Ma Dajun slapped the map with his hands and smiled cruelly: "At that time, the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy will be able to unload the cannons on Jiaozhi landing, and let them taste what the real war is."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Times have changed, and there is no need to use the benefits of firearms. It is not something Ma Dajun is willing to do.

When he first joined the army, he learned how to exchange the smallest price for the greatest victory.

"This North Delhi Sultan is not a person."

Ma Dajun mocked him disdainfully, only caring about the gains and losses of a battle and commanding the victory and defeat of a battle. He is only worthy of being a commander, but not worthy of being a monarch.

His fearlessness in his mind and fear of starting a war rashly was tantamount to committing suicide by chronically. Once the road was opened, the Ming Dynasty could show off its national strength in the land of Southern India without any obstacles.

If you want to break the deadlock, you must defeat the coalition forces and drive straight to attack and destroy Bangela, forcing the seven-nation system to collapse, because the Ming army did not have the level of large-scale investment in the southwest battlefield.

Six to one hundred thousand people are already the limit of the Ming Dynasty.

Hundreds of thousands of troops traveled thousands of miles to southern India?

Logistics alone can directly drag down the Ming Dynasty!

That's why the Ma Dajun was very leisurely and could stand up every day to confront the North Delhi army opposite.

If there is no war on the front line, the rear does not mean that you can rest. The seven-nation coalition forces, which exceed 50,000, can be said to be plowing inch by inch on the land of the Zhangpuer Kingdom.

Wealth, food, population, as long as it is valuable, even if it is just a painting, it will be taken into account by the coalition forces, and then a fire will fall.

What you can't catch or grab, and what you can't be destroyed cannot be left to the Green Sect or the original owner of this land.

Kill them all, burn them all, grab them all.

Due to the backward transportation of this era, Nantianzhu, tens of thousands of miles away from the center of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely not be the land that Zhu Yunwen wanted to occupy. He just wanted to plunder the Dingkou of Nantianzhu and then use their corpses to fill the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!

For this matter, Yang Shiqi and Zhu Di also expressed their doubts, that is, why all the plundered wealth was distributed to the six southwest countries, while the Ming Dynasty, which occupied the leadership and command position, didn't even want a single son.

"You have to take a longer view."

Zhu Yunwen never cared about the gains and losses of a war or a large-scale battle. Even if he destroyed Zhangpuer and North Delhi and held the Ganges Plain with a fertile land of thousands of miles, he never valued it.

"The enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not in the southwest, but in the west of the Western Regions."

In southern India, a country with serfs as the main body of society, the seriously rigid social class was even more severe than the late Qing Dynasty. What threat could such a country pose to the Ming Dynasty?

Even the Mughal Empire, which was established by the group of local natives in southern India after they were united in driving away the military nobles of the Green Sect in the future, is nothing more than a joke.

The cannons opened the way, and the overwhelming shells fell down. Wherever they looked, they were just kneeling slaves.

"Reopening the Silk Road is the real big thing for me at the moment."

Zhu Yunwen's outline on the map pointed out the direction for the future path of the Ming Dynasty.

"If you want to reopen the Silk Road, you must first break the Timur Khanate. The combat effectiveness of this country is much stronger than that of the corrupt and degenerate military nobles in South India. The pressure of our Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition is even greater than that of Genghis Khan back then. One hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands of lives may not be enough. Therefore, I need the support of the six southwest countries."

To conquer the Timur Khanate, reopen the Silk Road, open up the shackles of exchanges between the East and the West, and to go hand in hand with water and land, bring all the useful and useless things from Europe back to the Ming Dynasty, and destroy the seeds of the European white-skinned pig Renaissance. This is Zhu Yunwen's ultimate goal to come to this time and space!

This world is too small to survive in one country.

Within a hundred years, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to have the ability to colonize. However, as long as the seeds of the European Renaissance were destroyed, then one day, when the Ming Dynasty was still making great progress, the group of white-skinned pigs could only stand still.

You can see the emperor who is known as the eternal emperor a hundred years later, and Zhu Yunwen's eyes have been watching for three hundred years or five hundred years.

"In the early stage, you might as well give the six countries some sweet things, let them get ahead and use their lives to fill the battlefield in the Western Regions."

Zhu Yunwen has already arranged the ending for these countries: "When they suffer heavy losses, it will be the day when our Ming Dynasty's Xuanhe King's Army will swallow the six kingdoms."

What a bullshit allies, when the day when the value is exploited is drained, the only result of welcoming the six countries is just the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called "Kunming Seven Kingdoms Agreement" and the so-called alliance are hard for a strong country!

"There are only interests between countries, only iron and blood, and no morality and righteousness."

At a cabinet meeting, Zhu Yunwen held a thematic meeting for five cabinet bachelors in the name of gold and iron, and explained his thoughts and propositions.

"Gold is wealth, iron is weapons."

Zhu Yunwen was saying that all the five were burying their heads and remembering it hard. This was a habit that had been developed over the years. The emperor never cared about the power in small matters. Almost all his voice was held in the hands of the cabinet. Even if it was a minister, as long as the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate signed, the emperor did not even hesitate and directly criticized it.

When it comes to national affairs and ideological guidance, Zhu Yunwen couldn't hear any noise. The only thing the five people in the cabinet could do was to take notes and then implement the work according to Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

Talking nonsense and taking a hat are all trivial matters.

"Without money, the country cannot develop more powerful weapons. Without weapons, how can we plow the land for our Ming Dynasty?"

Wolf nature is the mainstream idea that Zhu Yunwen instilled the most in the cabinet.

"The core of metal and ironism lies in how to seize wealth economically, and how to achieve comprehensive control or suppression in the military. The grassland has been pacified. What we need to do next is to fully implement the nationalism I have formulated, strive to send all foreign races to the battlefield within three generations, and let all women become the daughters-in-law of our Han people, and to realize the second and third generation bloodline purification within.

To the outside world, the six southwest countries are like gamblers, and I am the dealer.

We must let them taste the sweetness of following the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty and then work diligently and hard. This stage is the stage of gold.

Benefits can solve more than 80% of the problem in the world, and the remaining 20% ​​will be handed over to Tie."

When Zhu Yunwen said this, he looked at Zhu Di and told the latter: "If money cannot settle, kill things! Even if it is bloody and kills those countries, the country will be destroyed, and the country will be destroyed.

Jin and Tie must grasp both hands and both hands must be hard.

Sooner or later, my country will be saturated in the Ming Dynasty, so it must expand. On the road to expansion, any kindness and forgiveness will make everyone here today, including the eternal sinners I call the nation and the country."

After the Jin-Iron Conference was held, the cabinet began to implement the thoughts of Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and promoted the main spirit in the Hanlin Academy. The two figures who flattered Xu Buji and Hu Gen were promoted, which led to an academic discussion trend of "survival through expansion".

The traditional theory of kings and saints inside and outside the kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom began to be weak with virtue, especially after more than 300,000 workers entered various "job positions" of the Ming Dynasty.

What the inner king and the outer saints only gain is a face, while what the inner saints and the outer saints and the outer saints can be exchanged is a real benefit.

If we talk about the busiest person in Daming right now, it may be Wei Jun, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works.

There are hundreds of thousands more free ones at once, and you can use them at will without worrying about life and death, which has improved the work efficiency of the Ministry of Works by more than two levels.

In addition to efficiency, the budget for free also reached an astonishing number: four million taels!

I spent a year of labor slaves and recruited laborers in China for one year, and ICBC and pension silver were all the less ICBC.

This is only a few hundred thousand, what if it were millions?

How much money will you save in the Ming Dynasty?

"If the number of slaves can reach one million, the Ministry of Works will be confident that it will fully complete the five-year plan within three years, and the budget expenditure will be saved, and the Ministry of Works will be fully capable of repairing a Beijing road from Nanjing to Guangzhou."
