Chapter 288 The Second Winter Offensive: Destroy Liao!
As autumn came to an end, Murong Fu's unification work in the southwest was basically entering the final stage.

The Kingdom of Nanyue had become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It not only helped the Ming Dynasty suppress the local indigenous peoples, but also helped the Ming Dynasty spy on and collect intelligence throughout South Asia, preparing for the future Ming Dynasty fleet's voyage to the West.

In history, the Ming Dynasty did not engage in any colonization activities when it sailed to the West. However, Murong Fu created an enhanced version of the Ming Dynasty. His voyages to the West were an activity of conquering the entire earth.

It is to establish a tributary system with China as the core, China at the center of the world, and dominating the universe.

Wherever the sun rises, that is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The only empire on which the sun never sets is the Ming Dynasty.

This also fits the character "Ming".

The word "Ming" represents both the rising sun and the shining moon. Wherever the sun rises or wherever the moon shines, it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Murong Fu's ambition has reached an unprecedented level.

In Dali, most of the old Dali ruling class withdrew, and a small number joined the Longcheng Chamber of Commerce to help the Ming Dynasty's officials maintain the Ming Dynasty's rule over the local area.

The development plan and immigration plan for the entire southwest are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The entire Ming Empire was in a state of thriving vitality, with all things flourishing.

At this time, Murong Fu also chose to return to the court, and pointed to the map in the north, smiling and said: "Now, the advantage is indeed mine!"

The progress of the Ming Dynasty in this year can be described as being as vigorous as a tiger.

He destroyed the Song Dynasty, annexed the Western Xia, swallowed up Tibet, conquered Dali, and destroyed Jiaozhi, all in one go.

Now the Liao Kingdom is the only one still lingering in the world, but it has been beaten to the point of collapse by the Jurchens. Their conflict is a good opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to profit from it.

However, Murong Fu was not in a hurry to send troops. After returning to Nanjing, he began to handle government affairs and then slowly prepared for the Northern Expedition.

For this Northern Expedition, Murong Fu planned to carry it out in the winter of the second year of Hongwu, calling it the "Second Winter Offensive: Destroying Liao."

This can be regarded as giving great respect to the Liao Kingdom.

However, Emperor Murong Fu was not very busy.

He dared to delegate power because he was absolutely sure that he could take it back once he delegated it. After all, his martial arts were invincible in the world, and no powerful official could resist his iron fist.

To some extent, Murong Fu has both the advantage of being a centralized monarch and the superhuman advantage of having great power all by himself. This is winning twice, a win-win situation.

He usually reviewed memorials and trained the army. In his spare time, Murong Fu and his concubines stayed in the imperial garden of the palace, enjoying the bliss of life.

After he became the emperor, he became even more debauched and immoral. Not only did he marry Zhu Lianbi, he also tried to form a group to travel. The Duan sisters were almost ruined by Murong Fu.

However, Murong Fu's interest seemed to stop there, and he did not recruit many beautiful women to select a concubine.

His women mainly included the Duan sisters headed by Wang Yuyan, plus the Western Xia Queen Li Qinglu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Murong Yan, and Li Qinglu's maid Xiaolei and other women.

There are also some unclear issues between him and the ladies in Lingjiu Palace.

Many of the female disciples of Lingjiu Palace came to the palace to serve as maids. According to the unspoken rule of the feudal dynasty, the maids were all candidates for the emperor's harem.

The four little fairies, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, were so charming that they could seduce their master. Under the pretext of asking Murong Fu to teach them sword skills, they taught them the way to bed and thus got the status of a concubine.

Most of the beautiful girls in the world who are good at martial arts are in Murong Fu's harem, so Murong Fu is naturally too lazy to participate in the beauty contest.

So many women are enough to create a clan for Murong Fu.

Although Murong Fu already has four sons and one daughter, it is still far from being a clan, so Murong Fu still needs to work hard. The Ming Dynasty wants to rule the world, and there are too many places that need to be divided. The Murong family is just right to lead the Chinese people to colonize everywhere.

Take up all the living space you can. Even if there is internal strife in the future, the meat will rot in your own pot, which is better than letting foreigners take advantage of it.

At this moment, Murong Fu and a group of concubines were waiting in front of Murong Yan's bedroom.

Soon, a loud baby cry was heard.

"Congratulations, Saint, it's a boy!" The midwife came out holding a child.

Murong Fu took a look and found that the child was a mixed-race child with black hair and heterochromatic eyes. He inherited Murong Fu's handsomeness and Murong Yan's beauty.

Murong Fu silently promised the fertile land of the Crescent to this child, and this child went to establish the Murong Dynasty of Persia.

That place will be extremely rich once its industry develops!
This child is blessed!

"What a lovely child." Wang Yuyan had really become a young woman, and had a lot of experience in raising children. She took the child, hugged him, and coaxed him, and the child stopped crying. "Cousin, what's the child's name?"

"I am about to launch the second winter offensive to destroy the Liao Kingdom, and this child was born. Let's call him Murong Sheng! It means that my Ming army will win the first battle!" Murong Fu said with a smile, "Come with me to see my swallows!"

At this moment, a group of people entered the room.

Murong Yan didn't look too haggard, and she even had the strength to stand up, bow, take the child back, and her face was full of love.

Murong Fu also discovered that once a woman has a child, her heart is no longer just about her man, but this is due to maternal instinct, and Murong Fu can understand it.

Anyway, he has plenty of women, and compared to the past when he was drooling over their beauties, he now enjoys the feeling of being together as a family more.

That's life!

The passion gradually faded, leaving only the warmth between family members.

"His name is Murong Sheng, which means victory at the beginning of the battle!" Murong Fu said.

"Okay." Holding the child, Murong Yan was very satisfied. "Saint, you once promised to give him a country and help me take back Eagle Castle. I will not let those traitors go."

"Very soon." Murong Fu said, "After I launch the second winter offensive, destroy the Liao Kingdom, and completely unify China, I will expand outward. Once my fleet is built and my army is equipped with flintlock rifles, I can expand outward. A country and a nation must expand and expand their living space in order to grow and develop. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has declined. Not to mention expansion, it can't even take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. But I want to inject martial virtues into China again. Let the Han people be great again, let's make China great again!"

"I believe in you, Saint! You have created such a great cause in just one year. The world is destined to crawl at your feet." Murong Yan looked at Murong Fu proudly. Only a man like Murong Fu could conquer her ambitious self. "My master, go and conquer the world! I will help you take care of the children!"

"When I destroy the Liao Kingdom, I will no longer go out to fight in person." Murong Fu smiled at the women, "Then I will have plenty of time to accompany you. By then, you all have to continue to give birth to children for me. We need to have many, many children."

All the girls were happy, some were secretly delighted, some were expecting something, some had bright eyes as tender as water, some had faces as pretty as the moon.

Apart from being a little fickle, Murong Fu is indeed a good husband.

And Murong Fu was powerful enough to suppress the little thoughts of the women, so there was basically no palace fighting in the Ming Dynasty harem.

They get along with each other and are indeed becoming more and more like a family.

After pacifying the harem, Murong Fu mobilized his troops and prepared to join forces with Murong Fei and Fang La of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to destroy the Liao Kingdom and unify China.

The winter offensive to destroy Liao officially begins.

The overall situation of the entire world is about to come to an end.
