Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 32 Layout of the Song Dynasty
The Great Yuan Empire and the Great Qing Empire existed to the west of the Ming Empire, and it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to break into the grassland.The strength of these two steppe empires cannot be underestimated.

The Xixia Empire, the Khitan Empire, and the Great Jin Empire to the west of the Great Song Empire have been harassing the Great Song Empire.However, the strength of these three grassland empires is very different from that of the Yuan Empire and the Qing Empire, let alone the Xiongnu Empire in the north.

With the strength of the Great Ming Empire, if it annexed the Great Song Empire, it would be absolutely no problem to conquer the Xixia Empire, the Khitan Empire, and the Great Jin Empire.Even if the Three Kingdoms cannot be quickly annexed, the Ming Empire can first destroy the Xixia Empire, the weakest of the five Western Xia Empires. Once the Xixia Empire is destroyed, the entire Western Grassland will be divided into two.At that time, the Ming Empire will have the initiative to send troops to the western grasslands.At that time, the Great Ming Empire will first block the Great Yuan Empire and the Great Qing Empire with a large army, and then destroy the Khitan Empire and the Great Jin Empire.It is not impossible to completely conquer the western prairie.

Zhu Qi rubbed his head, pondered for a while and said: "The Song Empire is very important to the Ming Empire, and the Xixia Empire is also very important to the Ming Empire."

The Xixia Empire is the weakest of the five grassland kingdoms, and it has been on the defensive even against the Great Song Empire.It can be said that the Xixia Empire is simply a different kind of grassland empire.In recent years, the situation in the Northwest Region has always been that the Dajin and Khitan attacked the Great Song Empire, while the Xixia that the Great Song Empire fought could not hold its head up.

Although the Xixia Empire is weak, it occupies an excellent terrain.To the north of the Xixia Empire were the Khitan Empire and the Great Jin Empire; to the south were the Great Yuan Empire and the Great Qing Empire.

Once the Ming Empire annexed the Song Empire and occupied the Xixia Empire, it could not only divide the western prairie, but also use the grasslands of the Xixia Empire to train a large number of cavalry.At that time, the opportunity to unify the Western Grassland will come. Once the Western Prairie is acquired by the Ming Empire, the unification of China is really possible.

The more Zhu Qi thought about it, the more excited she became!
Although the Great Song Empire is now showing signs of decline.

However, it is still extremely difficult for the Ming Empire to annex the Song Empire.

However, it is not a problem for me to plan ahead in the Great Song Empire. Even if the plan fails, I can still collect some resources and exercises for myself.

At the end of Hongwu's 11th year.

The background of the palace has increased rapidly, and the fixed industry has also doubled several times.

Nearly a hundred Huangzhuang, dozens of mines, forests, etc. were included in the name of the palace.Zheng He is so busy every day that he does not touch the ground, trying his best to receive and arrange the properties acquired by Haidafu.

The restaurants, inns, and shops under the name of the Wangfu that Yuhuatian was in charge of also expanded rapidly, and now they have radiated to every mansion in the Ming Empire.

The number of caravans under the Wangfu's name has also increased several times, and they have started to contact the countries around Daming. Although the caravans are not large in scale, they are considered a good start.

The industry of the Wangfu flourished in the Ming Empire.

On the side of the Great Song Empire, Zhu Qi sent Yuhuatian to the Great Song Empire in order to plan the layout!
In Bianjing of the Great Song Empire, more than a dozen shops have been opened on the Wangfu side, which can be regarded as initially gaining a firm foothold.

There are ten states (roads) in the Northwest Region of Middle-earth, and the Ming Empire occupied two states and nine counties in the Northwest Region.The Great Qin Empire also occupied one state and five counties in the Northwest Region.Therefore, the territory of the Song Empire is actually only seven roads (states) and thirty prefectures (counties).

Although Yuhuatian personally sits in Bianjing to plan, but the tentacles of the palace in the Song Empire are still shrunk in Bianjing.

The Great Song Empire is not comparable to the Great Ming Empire.After all, the Ming Empire is the home court of the palace, and the Song Empire is due to the short period of time, and the Song Empire's national strength is weak, and the situation is somewhat turbulent.However, it is indeed a talent for Yuhuatian to be able to open more than a dozen stores in Bianjing in just a few months and stabilize his position.

Looking at the snow outside the window, Yuhuatian began to think about the palace again.

Although I can make contributions to the prince in the Great Song Empire, the Great Ming Empire is my home!

hey-hey!That kid Hou Xian still wanted to compete with him for the opportunity to come to the Great Song Empire, so he couldn't follow that kid's wishes.I am the most powerful person around the prince.

With more and more affairs in the palace, Zhu Qi also discovered many talents.After Zheng He and Yuhuatian, Hou Xian is a newly emerging talent in Wangfu. Hou Xian has contributed a lot to the growth of Wangfu's industry in Daming.

At that time, Zhu Qi originally wanted to send Hou Xian to the Great Song Empire, but who knew that Yuhuatian took the initiative to invite Ying!Compared with Hou Xian, Zhu Qi naturally believed in Yuhuatian's ability more.

Zhu Qi attached great importance to the Great Song Empire, how could Yuhuatian not see it.

You must know that in the Ming Empire, all the properties of the palace were recorded and carried out under the banner of the palace.This shows that the prince has no idea of ​​doing anything in the Ming Empire at all.

On the side of the Song Empire, not only are the people carefully selected, but everything is done in secret, and they are only responsible to the prince.

Yuhuatian naturally knows which is more important.

In the 11th year of Hongwu, although the development of the palace was smooth, it was not without cost. In the past two years, the palace had spent 700 million gold alone.But even with such a generous expenditure, it still didn't empty out Zhu Qi's family fortune.

When Zhu Qi opened the mansion, there were 5000 million gold in the palace inventory.Although the palace spent more than 5000 million gold in the past two years.However, the income of the palace in the past two years has been quite a lot. Zhu Qi's fiefdom alone can increase the income of the palace by 2000 million gold every year.Coupled with the rapid growth of the Wangfu industry, the income is naturally rising.

Now, there is still a surplus of 600 million gold in the treasury of the palace.Zhu Qi can proudly say that he is not short of money.

The 11th year of Hongwu roared by,

Except for the canonization of several princes by Emperor Hongwu this year, there were no major events in the court.

The prince Zhu Biao became more and more mature in governing, and the civil and military officials gradually adapted to the prince being in charge.

This year, Emperor Hongwu made fewer and fewer appearances.

With the sound of firecrackers.

Zhu Qi ushered in the long-awaited 12th year of Hongwu.

According to the deduction of "Budaolu", Zhu Qi can start formal practice in half a year at most. "Martial Arts Record" is an innate spiritual treasure, so the deduction is naturally not bad.Although Zhu Qi has some doubts about his body, he still trusts "Budaolu" unconditionally.

In fact, in the second half of the 11th year of Hongwu, Zhu Qi felt that his body was almost recovered.However, Zhu Qi still endured and did not practice. Since "Bu Dao Lu" gave him a three-year deadline, there must be reasons Zhu Qi didn't know.Zhu Qi is very self-aware. Compared with his own wisdom and the deduction of Xiantian Lingbao, Zhu Qi naturally believes in "Budaolu" more.

Since the tenth year of Hongwu, as Zhu Qi's body gradually recovered and got better and better, the effects of "Tai Chi" and "Martial Arts Furnace" became more and more terrifying.

In order to meditate and cultivate, Zhu Qi specially designated a forbidden area for himself in the palace.The forbidden area, stone pagodas, pavilions, and martial arts training grounds are all available.
