Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Ming Dynasty’s [25 Plan] has been fully successful.

In the past five years, the Ming Dynasty has expanded very slowly. In the north, only Yan'an Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture were taken down; to the south, Xiangzhou, Guangzhou, Shouzhou and Chuzhou were occupied, and Yangzhou did not move, nor did it go to Jiangling.

The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty ruled along the Huai River. In order to maintain this situation, the Song Dynasty court paid the annual monies of 500,000 taels of silver and 400,000 pieces of silk.

Of course, there is no need to give annual tribute to the Daliao and Xixia.

Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom and Li Ganshun of the Western Xia Dynasty were furious when they learned about this and raised an army to teach the Ming Dynasty a lesson.

Originally, when they received a request from Northern Song envoys, they planned to come to Zhongyuan to get a share of the pie, but they didn't expect that Huang Chao was so quick, or that he was so useless in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he didn't even hold on for a week.

They didn't think Huang Chao was that strong, they just thought Song was really weak!

Yelu Yanxi and Li Ganshun were all thinking: If I had known that the Song Dynasty was so easy to fight, I would have raised an army long ago!

The two countries used most of the troops that could fight in China in one breath, most of which were cavalry. They drove straight from the northwest, trying to take advantage of Huang Chao's time to react and take advantage of the large area of ​​Taiyuan Prefecture and Daming Prefecture.

If Kaifeng is easy to beat, it is best to flatten Kaifeng too.

Then there was nothing.

The invincible cavalry charge did not survive the second round in front of cannon volleys and three-stage shooting.

[Huang Tian Army] Winned in one battle, killing and injuring more than 3,000 enemy troops, capturing tens of thousands of people alive, and countless horses.

This battle led to five years of peace on the border of the Three Kingdoms, laying a solid foundation for the stable farming development of the Ming Dynasty.

The Liao Kingdom and Xixia dare not mention the annual monies and other things. I just want Huang Chao to come and thank God.

At the same time, the Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty also realized that the gap between them and the Ming Dynasty was no longer anywhere, but was on the fire sticks and roaring cannons.

So batches of spies sneaked into the Ming Dynasty, trying to get relevant secrets.

But for the Ming Dynasty, where the grassroots zhengfu is fully constructed, administrative forces can be transferred to the village level, and the people still support and cooperate extremely, it is too easy to find these spies.

The spy caught one after another, and then collected a batch and sent it to labor reform directly. It just so happened that the state-owned farms were very short of labor.

Another reason why Huang Chao is unwilling to expand widely is that the martial arts people in the world of [Tianlong Ba Tribe] are still capable.

For example, if the dead Ding Chunqiu lurks and uses poison to assassinate Huang Chao, he will have a headache.

Although the battle of Shaomuyama a few years ago almost destroyed all the top combat power of the martial arts world.

But this rough approach also offended all other martial arts people.

For example, the Dali Kingdom, the Beggars' Sect, the Xixia Yipin Hall, the Xiaoyao Sect, etc., whose prince Duan Yu died.

Although these remaining elements are not that good at martial arts, these people have gradually learned to use guns!

These people tried their best to get rid of some guns and then lurked up to assassinate them.

This gave Huang Chao a headache.

Therefore, in order to protect the safety of important administrative personnel and scientists in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Chao formed a special security department [Jinyiwei].

Each [Jinyiwei] has achieved the martial arts skills of a second-rate master in the martial arts world, and the standard is four guns, each of which is a kind of back-fitting continuous shooting.

However, due to the limited production capacity of breech guns, the limited number of people in the Jinyiwei, it still cannot be spread on a large scale.

Huang Chao could not guarantee that every newly occupied area's highest commander could be protected from the threat of these gun-holding masters.

Therefore, it can only expand slowly.

In the past five years, [Huang Tianjun] has fully completed the renewal of weapons, and all rifles and artillery have been upgraded to breech-loaded bullets.

The heroes in the world are our generation!

In the martial arts world described by Jin Yong, this sentence is very bold.

Today, when the breech-loaded rifle is fully equipped, Huang Chao can shout a more bold sentence:

"There is no martial arts in the era of breech guns!"

The era of the military ban has passed, and the sadness that hard work is not as good as a bullet has come to this world.

Compared with the sorrow of martial arts masters in original time and space, and the Boxer Rebellion that fell under foreign guns and cannons.

Now this scene lacks the sorrow of the decline of the country.

Of course, practicing martial arts is not a mistake, and becoming a strong person is not the reason for the suppression of the country.

But it is a serious crime to use your own abilities and influence the management of the country with your own will.

Therefore, in public schools in the territory, martial arts classes are the same as music classes and art classes, which are only used to strengthen the body and are not allowed to fight bravely.

Campus violence is absolutely not allowed to exist. If you find one, you will be punished severely, regardless of whether you are a minor or not.

In the sixth year of Hongwu, the [Huang Tianjun] combat mobilization was completed.

The Ming army attacked in three groups, each with three armies, with the troops aimed directly at the capitals of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, and the Western Xia.

A month later, Jiangling City was destroyed and the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

Three months later, Xingqing Prefecture was destroyed and the Western Xia Kingdom was destroyed. Li Qian led the remnants to retreat to Suzhou, and survived.

Six months later, the Great Liao army fought a decisive battle with Huang Tian’s army outside Linhuang Prefecture. In one battle, 30,000 people were killed and injured, and 50,000 were captured. The Liao Kingdom died in one battle. Yelu Yanxi died in the battle and the Liao Kingdom surrendered.

Dali, Jiaozhi, Tubo and Goryeo all expressed their congratulations, expressing their surrender and willingness to worship the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader.

Huang Chao knew very well that the nature of these small countries was all the guys who feared power but did not lose their virtues.

Huang Chao met the envoys from these countries and said bluntly that he would not need the sect leader country, and I would not want the annual monies or other things.

However, we have to sign a trade treaty with me, open trade ports, and give the Ming Dynasty the most favorable treatment.

When countries heard that they didn’t even want annual monies and wanted to trade with our country, this was a great thing! So they agreed happily and signed a trade agreement.

At this point, the world is determined and the world is powerful!

Within a year, the torrent of steel in the Ming Dynasty crushed the surrounding ghosts and monsters, expanding the territory to 12 million square kilometers, second only to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in history.

At the same time, the construction of the railway network in the Ming Dynasty is fully rolling out, and the number of battleships of the Ming Navy has exceeded 100; aircraft are still under development, but hot air balloons and airships are already conventional combat weapons for the army.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the Fourth Fleet of China led by Rear Admiral Huang Feihu successfully returned to the Bohai Bay Military Port and completed the first truly global voyage in human history.

In the same year, the Shenlong 5 giant airship took off, which took 63 days and successfully flew around the earth.

Interestingly, the major general who led the team this time is called Huang Feihong, who is Huang Feihu's younger brother.

In the 12th year of Hongwu, Dali, Goryeo, Jiaozhi, Japan and other countries took the initiative to submit a statement and voluntarily became an administrative province of the Ming Dynasty.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, the first batch of domestic criminals were exiled to the Australian continent, officially opening the colonial era of the Ming Dynasty.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the First Fleet of China landed on the North American continent and established an advance base.

Unlike the original history, the Chinese soldiers did not carry out a racial miejue-like massacre on the Indians. Instead, they used trade as a means to gradually absorb the Indians into the Ming Dynasty.

This is the reason why barbarians enter China, and China has had a tradition of education since ancient times.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the first census ended, and a shocking number was published on the front page of the China Daily: 50 million!

The population of the Ming Dynasty officially exceeded 500 million!

In the first year of Hongwu, the population of the Ming Dynasty was less than 10 million. As the land under the Ming Dynasty became larger and larger, the population gradually began to soar. When the world was established in the sixth year of Hongwu, the population under the Ming Dynasty reached a huge 150 million.

In addition, the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty have become better and better, and the gradual popularization of modern medicine has been increasing, and the newborn boom has continued to build up the population base of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the naturalized Koreans, Jiaozhi people, Japanese people and well-educated Indians, this has formed a jaw-dropping number of 500 million.
