Chapter 294: In the th year of Hongwu, the country is so beautiful!

Murong Fu will stay in the north longer.

Of course, it is not about indulging in the gentle land of the Liao queen, but the north is more important than the southwest.

To strengthen the empire's influence in the north, it is necessary to establish a center in the north, that is, a capital.

Murong Fu chose Nanjing, the former Liao Kingdom, and renamed it Dadu, which became the capital of the Ming Dynasty together with Nanjing.

One is the capital of the south, and the other is the capital of the north.

Most of them were for land power, while Nanjing was for sea power.

Because the empire attached equal importance to land and sea power, the two capitals system had to be implemented.

This actually had little significance during the era when Murong Fu was in power, and was mainly designed for future generations.

Wherever Emperor Hongwu Murong Fu is, that is the undisputed center of the empire.

Murong Fu stayed in Dadu and asked Xiao Feng's Songmo Military Governor's Office and Wang Jingzhong's Liaodong Military Governor's Office to cooperate in bringing in a large number of Han people from the Central Plains to immigrate here, distribute land, and actually carry out a great ethnic integration.

Afterwards, he ordered Murong Fei, Wang Jingzhong and Xiao Feng to lead the troops to destroy the unruly Goryeo Kingdom.

Soon, the Goryeo Kingdom was destroyed.

With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, Murong Fu would not even need to take action personally to destroy such a small country.

In history, the Ming Dynasty looked down upon the barren peninsula, but Murong Fu thought of the disgusting nature of the Koreans in later generations and felt that it would be better for China's vital areas to be in the hands of the Han people.

Besides, there are many women on the peninsula, so it is a good opportunity to capture a group of them and give them to the Ming army soldiers.

Emperor Murong Fu never forgot to give wives to everyone, which was the reason why his loan of grace could be maintained.

At the beginning of spring, all members of the Goryeo royal family were killed, and a large number of Goryeo men were moved to Liaodong.

Murong Fu also immigrated many Han people to Goryeo and divided the Goryeo Peninsula into prefectures and counties, which belonged to Liaodong.

Murong Fu's fleet had also been built in Fuzhou, and according to Murong Fu's orders, it headed north.

Murong Fu named it Beiyang Fleet and had it transport the Jurchens to Japan.

The Jurchens and Khitans were converted to Han nationality. The Khitans became the Songmo Army and the Jurchens became the Liaodong Army. They were all directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, which was responsible for logistics and payment of military pay.

In fact, the military power of Xiao Feng and Wang Jingzhong was taken back by Murong Fu, but Xiao Feng didn't care, and Wang Jingzhong could only not care.

After the destruction of Goryeo, Murong Fu appointed Wang Jingzhong as the General of the Eastern Expedition and attacked Japan together with Chen Huaiyun, the admiral of the Beiyang Fleet.

The main purpose was to destroy Japan and exploit its silver and gold resources.

As the Beiyang Fleet marched eastward to Japan, Japan saw the huge black ships hundreds of years earlier.

It is known in history as the "Black Ship Incident".

The Jurchens led by Wang Jingzhong occupied the Iwami Silver Mine in Japan with a purpose, and then began to burn, kill, loot, and capture Japanese miners in a very brutal manner.

The Japanese were naturally no match for the Ming Dynasty, and the entire country of Japan was constantly being eroded by the Ming Dynasty.

As the Beiyang Fleet continued to transport its manpower into Japan, Wang Jingzhong began to prepare for the Battle of Kyoto, ready to capture Kyoto in one fell swoop, capture the emperor and others, and present the captives to Murong Fu.

This requires the assistance of the Ming army's artillery, so Wang Jingzhong is still waiting.

But the countdown to Japan's demise has already begun.

Just when General Wang Jingzhong was planning how to destroy Japan, Murong Fu had already arrived at his loyal Xingqing Mansion and met the Western Xia Queen Li Qinglu.

Because Li Qinglu is about to give birth.

"Congratulations, Saint, it's a boy!" the midwife congratulated.

Murong Fu ordered his officials and the people of Xingqing Prefecture to be rewarded, then he held the child in his arms and said with a smile, "You and Yuyan look exactly alike, and your child will look almost exactly alike, too."

Li Qinglu said unhappily: "I don't allow you to talk about her."

Murong Fu teased Li Qinglu and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Li Qinglu said: "Of course."

Murong Fu changed the subject and said, "This is already my sixth son. How strange! I only have one daughter, Xiao Xingxing."

Murong Fu already had an eldest son, Murong Ming, a second son, Murong Sheng, a third son, Murong Chen, a fourth son, Murong Ning, and a fifth son, Murong Sheng. This child is his sixth son.

But he only has one daughter, Murong Xing.

Little Star is Murong Fu's nickname for his daughter.

Li Qinglu said: "Isn't it good to have a boy? Your empire is so big, what you need is an heir! Give our child a name!"

Li Qinglu said this, looking at the child with a loving face.

Murong Fu pondered and said, "Now that the world is unified, this child will be born. Let's call him Murong Tong!"

"Murong Tong? That's a good implication." Li Qinglu said, "My father is very anxious and asked when he will be arranged to go to Barat to establish a country?"

Murong Fu smiled and said, "I know he is anxious, but tell him not to be anxious, it will be done soon."

Li Qinglu said, "Saint, Xixia is now stable and is being eaten up by the Ming Dynasty, just like I am being eaten up by you. I want you to live with me. How can I feel being the empress of Xixia alone?"

Li Qinglu said this, licking her lips and looking straight at Murong Fu.

Obviously, the situation of being alone made her extremely hungry.

Murong Fu hugged Li Qinglu and said with a smile: "If you don't want to be the queen and insist on being the forbidden delicacy in my harem, then I will have no choice but to keep you in my golden house and bully you mercilessly every day!"

Li Qinglu said with a look of satisfaction: "I just like being bullied by you, Fu Lang"

After that, Murong Fu continued to stay in the north.

The difference is that this time, besides the former Liao queen Xiao Guanyin, he is also accompanied by the Western Xia queen Li Qinglu.

She was a princess, a county lady, a queen, a queen mother, and an emperor. She had enjoyed everything. The greatest happiness on earth was nothing more than this.

While Dadu was under construction, in the third year of Hongwu, General Wang Jingzhong, the General in Charge of the Eastern Expedition, conquered Kyoto and destroyed Japan.

According to Murong Fu's instructions, their written historical books were destroyed and their cultural heritage was destroyed.

Japan was torn apart and became a colony of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese slaves were very popular in the Ming Dynasty.

The men were sold as working slaves and were very hardworking.

The women were sold as slaves and were very hardworking.

At this point, the Japanese nation was completely destroyed.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Murong Fu returned to Nanjing. He no longer ruled the country himself, but instead remotely controlled the empire's army and sent it on expeditions everywhere.

Civil officials tried to remonstrate with him, but Murong Fu just said "I won't listen, I won't listen, it's just a turtle chanting sutras". He didn't want others to be punished for their words, but no one could shake his determination.

Murong Fu did not believe in the wisdom of future generations. When he was in charge of this empire, he would expand the living space for the people of China to be enough for them to enjoy a happy life.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty began its Western Expedition.

In the same year, Sikong Xuan led the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Navy and began to go to Nanyang to intimidate various countries, with the ultimate goal being the New World.

The Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition, relying on more advanced weapons and with Murong Yan leading the troops, achieved a great victory.

Not only did he restore the Persian Empire and establish the Persian Murong Dynasty, he even conquered Constantinople and destroyed the Byzantine Empire.

As for Barat, it also occupied territories and established its own country. He built many countries at once, all of which Murong Fu intended to use for enfeoffment.

One of them was the Western Xia Kingdom.

Li Qianshun became the Brahman he had always dreamed of, ruling the local natives, and was happy and didn't want to think about China. However, Li Qianshun soon became addicted to Brahmanism, became a follower of Shiva, and was assimilated.

The caste system is so destructive that Li Qianshun became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

In the sixth year of Hongwu, Sikong Xuan's fleet appeared in Europe.

At that time, Europe had just been shocked by the Ming Dynasty's destruction of the Byzantine Empire, and the Ming Dynasty's fleet came to Europe, which brought a little shock to the backward and closed Europeans.

Europe is falling!
In the seventh year of Hongwu, Sikong Xuan discovered a new continent according to the handwriting of Zen Master Zhiguang, and named it "Yinzhou" according to Murong Fu's instructions.

New things were constantly being born within the empire, and a steady stream of silver was shipped back from Japan and the New World. The era of silver currency had arrived.

The entire empire was in this storm, with rapid prospects and rapid development.

By the 30th year of the Hongwu reign, the Ming Dynasty had become a veritable empire on which the sun never sets, and the entire earth was within the empire's sphere of influence.

The technology of the empire has also reached the level where most of the central areas of the empire are truly airpunk, with railways built in all directions, trains whizzing by, and kerosene lamps popularized.

In a few areas, even electrification was gradually realized. For example, electric light bulbs were installed in the Ming Dynasty Palace.

The entire palace was as bright as day.

On New Year's Eve in the 30th year of Hongwu, the imperial palace was brightly lit.

This was also a scene to convey electrification to businessmen outside. Murong Fu put forward the slogan, "The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is electrification."

After thirty years of diligent work, Murong Fu, the Hongwu Emperor, had become the common ruler of mankind. He was more than just the Heavenly Khan, he was the king of all kings, the only great emperor of mankind.

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever had a territory as vast as his, covering the entire land under the sun.

No one has ever developed an empire so rapidly. In the words of current scholars, "after the Hongwu Reform, mankind now produces more in a day than in the past ten thousand years." This kind of prosperity cannot be compared with the previous reigns of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, or the Kaiyuan Period.

Now, relying on the vast colonies, the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat cheap white sugar.

Because of new breeding technology, although pork and beef are still not something that ordinary people can eat every day, chicken has become a daily meat for ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, and canned fish is even more famous among the poor.

The Han population of the Ming Dynasty also expanded to about 200 million.

Moreover, the population is still growing rapidly, and foreign ladies dream of marrying Han gentlemen.

Because becoming a Han Chinese in the Ming Dynasty means you can enjoy the treatment of a citizen, which means you are truly superior in all aspects.

The martial arts of the world have also entered an extremely prosperous era. All talented people can learn various wonderful martial arts from the Martial Arts Association. The development speed of martial arts in the world is very rapid.

The 72 Shaolin unique skills have been widely circulated, improved by various martial arts schools, and performed in countless versions.

Although there are still not many top masters, first-rate masters are already numerous. Among the six gates of the imperial court alone, all the famous captains are first-rate masters.

Murong Fu truly realized "everyone has food to eat, everyone has books to read, and everyone has skills to practice."

Murong Fu's personal prestige is truly comparable to that of a god.

In terms of military achievements, he conquered all the lands known to mankind.

In terms of culture, he is the father of modern science and modern martial arts.

Everything that modern Ming Dynasty students learn, as long as you look at who created it, it must be Murong Fu who is the originator.

In terms of virtue, he created a prosperous era in which ordinary people could eat meat at will, and made Chinese civilization stand at the top of the world. His achievements surpassed the Three Sovereigns and his virtue surpassed the Five Emperors. He was unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

People in the world have begun to respectfully call Murong Fu the "Saint King", while in Europe, he is called the "Philosopher King".

He was like a living god, profoundly influencing the entire empire.

What is even more amazing is that Emperor Hongwu never ages. He looks the same now as he did thirty years ago.

It seems that he really has eternal life and is immortal.

This adds to his divinity.

At this moment, Nanjing.

Hall of Light.

Yue Fei, the sword-wielding guard in front of the emperor, puffed out his chest with pride. He felt excited when he thought of the kindness of Emperor Hongwu.

He planned to join the army as a minor officer to defend his country after completing his service as a guard.

Murong Fu was really kind to him.

Not long after he was born, he was inexplicably chosen by Murong Fu and thrown into a martial arts academy for training, so his martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds.

When he reached youth, he was arranged to be a royal guard for training.

Yue Fei could also see from the people that the lives of the Ming people were constantly improving, and the speed was visible to the naked eye.

No one misses the Song Dynasty anymore. When people mention the Song Dynasty, they describe it as "frustrated" and "miserable". As for the Liao Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, no one misses them even more.

Everyone is proud to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

There are countless barbarians outside who dream of becoming citizens of the Ming Dynasty. The border cities of the Ming Dynasty had to build the Great Wall to prevent the invasion of illegal immigrants.

Even so, every year a large number of illegal immigrants enter the Ming Dynasty, the paradise of their dreams, and then are discovered, deported, or exiled.

But for them, the Ming Dynasty was truly a paradise, and the quality of life seemed like it belonged to a different era.

People in many countries cannot get enough food. For example, in Europe, people can barely get enough food, all thanks to the bumper yield of corn promoted by Murong Fu.

Cornmeal is very cheap and is eaten by barbarians. It is known as "cornmeal porridge".

There was a young man who had been eating cornmeal porridge in Europe for a long time. He crossed mountains and rivers to reach Ming Dynasty. After eating a cheap food called donuts, he felt like he was in heaven and shouted "Donuts are so delicious". Then, because of his abnormal behavior, he was reported by the people of Ming Dynasty and now he is exiled to Songzhou to mine.

This is understandable. Donuts are made of fried white flour and sprinkled with a lot of white sugar. This high-calorie food is considered junk food in the eyes of the Han people, but it is a delicacy that the Run people have never tasted.

As for Songzhou, it was the place where King Song Zhao Ji was exiled, and many prisoners of the empire were exiled there.

Song Wang Zhao Ji is now a famous painter. He even painted the famous "Emperor Murong Climbing Mount Everest" for Murong Fu. Under Murong Fu's guidance, he learned perspective painting, and his painting art became famous both at home and abroad.

These nobles and criminals of the previous dynasty did well in Songzhou, became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and provided the Ming Dynasty with various raw materials.

All the Run people who entered the country illegally were exiled to these places and worked as coolies.

The identity of the Han people is so precious that it is impossible to give it to outsiders casually.

This is also the reason why foreign women are crazy about marrying Han people.

Moreover, Murong Fu also imposed a mandatory rule that Han men should not marry before the age of 30, and the court would forcibly send foreign women to be their wives.

Every year, a large number of foreign women are exiled in this way by the Immigration Bureau.

Murong Fu also often distributed money to the people of the empire in his own name, so that everyone could enjoy the emperor's grace.

"The King of Nanyue, Duan Yu, presented the Jade Buddha statue as a gift, wishing the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty a long life!"

As the eunuch raised his voice, the King of Nanyue, who had the closest relationship with the Ming Dynasty, was the first to come to pay tribute.

"Old King of Nanyue, the Southern Emperor Duan Yanqing has abdicated, and now the Crown Prince Duan Yu has ascended the throne. I heard that the new King of Nanyue is a relative of our dynasty!"

"It seems to be the Queen's brother?"

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

Several court officials were discussing.

Duan Yu, who was already middle-aged, went to meet the Ming Emperor Murong Fu with his queen Gao Mei, feeling nervous.
