I travel through the heavens as a human being

145 - [-] years in a hurry

The sun and the moon go by, the four seasons change, and 20 years pass by in a hurry.

A lot of things happened in these 20 years, which made the entire Ming Dynasty completely different from its original historical direction and turned into an unknown direction.

The first was the change in the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor had not been in court for more than ten years. When he came to court again, he acted frequently and manipulated the officials.

Using the position of the chief minister of the cabinet as a guide and the existence of the Ministry of War as a bait, it triggered internal fights between civil servants and civil servants, and strife between civil servants and nobles, which gradually promoted the establishment of the military aircraft cabinet.

Then, the weight of the military aircraft cabinet was increased little by little, making it no weaker than the cabinet, achieving the purpose of dividing civil and military rule.

From then on, Zhu Houzhao held military power firmly in his hands.

For the son of heaven, those with strong soldiers and strong horses will do it.

With military power in his hand and unyielding suppression, from then on, His Majesty Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, was truly the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the emperor who spoke of the Tianxian.

When introducing some reforms, there is no need to worry too much about the opposition of ministers.

It can be said that Zhu Houzhao, who had consolidated military power, was already the third most powerful Ming emperor in history.

The only people who could surpass him were Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Taizong Zhu Di, two horse emperors with great military exploits.

And Xu Yang did not stand still when Zhu Houzhao promoted the establishment of the military aircraft pavilion. Instead, he strictly trained the soldiers of the three thousand battalions, and cooperated with Zhu Houzhao to launch a military exercise, killing the other two battalions to a complete defeat. .

Let the level of waste of the two camps be clearly seen by the civil and military officials, so that Zhu Houzhao will become famous, abolish the dignitaries on duty, and let Xu Yang take control of the Beijing camp and retrain.

Of course, this aroused dissatisfaction among the nobles, but with Zhu Houzhao's support, and they were in the wrong, after making a fuss about this matter for a while, they could only admit it with their noses pinched.

However, Xu Yang also suffered many assassinations, poisonings and other things. Xu Yang did not tolerate them. He spent a whole night and placed a chicken head next to the bed of the distinguished head of the capital. .

Then, these people stopped.

In addition to his military achievements, Xu Yanghe obtained from Zhu Houzhao the Military War Bureau and the Imperial Prison among the 24 prisons in the inner palace, and also transferred some technical talents from the Ministry of Industry to form the Academy of Sciences.

Focus on the research and development of firearms, steam engines, electromagnetic and other technologies.

Moreover, Xu Yang also came up with local cement to help Daming improve its transportation and housing environment.

Under the guidance of Xu Yang, a modern man, all the researched technologies were on the fast track, especially in firearms. The Ming Dynasty's foundation was not weak. After Xu Yang invested a lot of resources, it developed particularly rapidly, and even developed Unfortunately, the flintlock gun was limited to shortcomings such as the insufficient power of black powder. This flintlock gun could not be used in actual combat.

However, after the Ming Dynasty's army was equipped with new weapons, Xu Yang could say that their army was invincible.

This was indeed the case. After adapting to the new weapons, Zhu Houzhao began to mobilize his troops and generals, with Xu Yang as commander, to conquer foreign lands.

The first place to attack was the land of the Western Regions. In recent years, Ming Dynasty's Western Region business has been very prosperous. If you just get a little bit of it, you can make a lot of money.

How can such a wealthy place not be coveted by people?

Three months after dispatching troops, all 36 countries in the Western Regions returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the army led by Xu Yang suffered no more than a hundred casualties, more than a dozen of which were caused by external factors such as acclimatization or poisonous bites.

In fact, most of these three months were spent on the road. The time for the army to actually destroy the country was very short. After all, most of the countries in the Western Region were very small. Some even had only one city and called themselves a country. As soon as the army arrived, they surrendered.

After wiping out the 36 countries in the Western Region and handing them over to the reserve forces, Xu Yang led his army in a large detour and marched directly across the grasslands, catching the Mongolian tribes by surprise.

However, when Xu Yang deliberately slowed down the march of the army, it gave many tribes in Mongolia time to react and contact.

After seeing that Xu Yang was entering alone, the Mongolian tribes, after some discussion, decided to join forces to eat Xu Yang's Ming army, thereby weakening the Ming Dynasty's strength.

After all, they have seen the continuous growth of the Ming Dynasty's strength during this period, and they are anxious in their hearts. You must know that there has been such a rule since ancient times:
If the Central Plains dynasty is strong, then the grassland tribes will decline. On the contrary, if the Central Plains dynasty declines, then the grassland tribes will become stronger and move south to seize the border.

Now that there is such an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty, how can they not be tempted.

It's a pity that they still look at people with the same old eyes and are destined to suffer. The Ming army with new equipment is not easy to mess with.

So they were defeated in the first battle. However, under Xu Yang's restraint, although these people were defeated, they were not defeated badly. This also gave them a false message that as long as there were more people, they would be defeated. Can defeat Xu Yang's army.

Repeatedly, Xu Yang's Ming army remained stubbornly alive like a weak force that could not be defeated, thus allowing more and more tribes to join in the encirclement and suppression of this Ming army.

Finally, the grassland coalition reached its peak, with a total of 20 grassland cavalry facing off against [-] soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp.

The two sides fought a decisive battle on a flat, nameless grassland.

That battle lasted for two days and two nights, and it goes without saying that it was brutal.

Xu Yang's ammunition was even used up to only 5000%, and more than [-] people were killed.

The result of the war was naturally that Xu Yang's side won, and tens of thousands of prairie cavalry were captured. Xu Yang escorted them back to the Ming Dynasty to work as hard labor and contribute to the construction of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that after this battle, the prairie tribe's vitality was severely damaged, and it would not be possible to recover within ten years.

After Banshi returned to the court, Xu Yang was awarded the position of the first military commander of the Military Machine Pavilion for his two major achievements in pacifying the Western Regions and defeating the Mongols, and his reputation as Marquis Wu spread throughout the world.

In the following time, Xu Yang planned the Ming Dynasty's army to go westward along the Western Regions, burning the war into Europe.

With advanced equipment, the Ming Dynasty's army can be said to be invincible, even more powerful than the Mongolian cavalry back then.

All attacks are invincible, all battles are invincible, and wherever the army goes, everyone surrenders.

In the past, Europeans feared the Mongolian cavalry and called it the "whip of God."

Today, people in Europe are shocked by the Ming army and call it the "Sword of God".From then on, Xu Yang's reputation as a military leader was still sung by people even though he was thousands of miles away.

In addition to going west, Xu Yang also relied on the steam engine developed by the Academy of Sciences, designed a steamship, and formed a powerful steel fleet that traveled across the ocean.

With such advancement by land and water, Africa, Oceania, and North and South America in later generations were all discovered by the Ming Dynasty and immigrated to a certain extent. It can be said that in this era, Chinese people were already spread all over the world.

Moreover, due to outward expansion, the land of the Ming Dynasty increased greatly, requiring a large amount of manpower to reclaim wasteland. For this reason, the imperial court also formulated corresponding policies to encourage people with little or no land to reclaim wasteland and reclaim it. The land was owned by the people, and even travel expenses were paid by the court.

Although those lands are relatively far from the hinterland of the Central Plains, never underestimate the people's desire for land.

When the policy was first announced, many people signed up enthusiastically, which even led to the phenomenon of more people and less land in the Central Plains. Many landlords had no one to farm their land, so they had to leave it uncultivated, which forced the landlords to They reduced rents and interest rates, increased people's income, and allowed them to farm their own land.

It can be said that the living standards of the people have risen by more than one level since then.

In the past 20 years, in addition to the drastic changes in the Ming Dynasty, there have also been many changes in the world, especially those forces that have gone out to develop. Except for a few unlucky ones, they have all achieved huge gains. success.

For example, the Sun Moon Demon Sect, which traveled east to Fusang, Japan, after the martial arts conference, the entire Sun Moon Demon Sect, led by the leader Dongfang Bubai, arrived at the island country by boat.

Before leaving, Dongfang Bubai used his innate realm and skills to give birth to several top-level masters for the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, and taught them their magical skills.

Therefore, even though there are many martial arts experts in Japan's martial arts world, they are still retreating steadily when faced with the invasion of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, making it difficult to form effective resistance. This allows the Sun and Moon Demon Sect to gain a firm foothold in Japan and lay down a strong foundation. A huge territory.

Later, the Japanese martial arts all united, and at the same time, the feudal lords from various places in Japan also began to gather coalition forces, and they were ready to join forces to strangle or drive away the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.

Faced with such a situation, although the Sun and Moon Demon Sect was quite powerful, it was still just one sect with limited strength. For this reason, Dongfang Bubai, who had never shown up, took action.

When the decisive battle between the two sides was about to begin, Dongfang Bubai first performed a superb maneuver of catching artillery shells with his bare hands on the battlefield.

Then he broke into the army alone, killed the Japanese commander, and led the Sun Moon Demon Sect to win the decisive battle.

Then Dongfang Bubai launched a series of attacks to kill Japanese martial arts masters and feudal lords from all over the country. With the intelligence support of the Sun and Moon Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai took half a year to directly kill this famous Japanese figure for a generation. Even the Imperial family, known as the Eternal Lineage, was completely wiped out.

At this point, the Sun Moon Demon Sect has completely established itself in Japan and has no rivals. Its leader, Dongfang Bubai, is considered by the Japanese to be the incarnation of Amaterasu in the human world and a god walking in the world.

After doing all this, Dongfang Bubai was almost running out of gas. That day, on the top of the new Heimu Cliff, Dongfang Bubai looked at the rising sun on the horizon and murmured:
"You are right. It is difficult for an imperfect person to enter the innate. If there is not enough true yang, it is a trick to enter the innate. This is also a major flaw. The road to the future is difficult, difficult! Difficult!"

After all, the heroic hero Dongfang Bu was defeated and died at the top of the cliff.

As for the Sun Moon Demon Sect, because Dongfang Bubai had made arrangements in advance, no trouble occurred after Dongfang Bubai's death, and everything continued to develop according to plan.

After occupying Japan, the Sun-Moon Demon Sect did not cut off contact with the Central Plains. Instead, it established strongholds across the Central Plains and recruited orphans and poor children as disciples to replenish the Sun-Moon Demon Sect with fresh blood.

At the same time, the Sun Moon Demon Sect implemented the concept of governing the country through religion on Dongying Island and became a huge sect that integrated politics and religion.

In addition to the rapid development of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, other forces, under the leadership of Xu Yang, the leader of the martial arts alliance, cooperated with the imperial army and developed along the way, expanding their power to Europe.

Moreover, these sects cooperated with the imperial court and recruited some lower-class local people, allowing them to speak Chinese, perform Chinese rituals, and write Chinese characters, spiritually allowing them to identify with Han culture and regard themselves as Han people.

Moreover, the world is so big and there are so many people. As long as these sects have the ability, they can draw as large a range as Xu Yang has approved.

For example, the Huashan Sect today occupies one-fifth of North America. The other four-fifths are still vacant, and no sect has come to occupy it.

As for other martial arts forces that are developing outwards, there are those who occupy a piece of land with the Huashan Sect and develop it well, and there are also those who are smaller and form an alliance to jointly develop.

Moreover, according to the joint constraints of the Wulin Alliance, not everyone can form a force, and not every force can share the big cake outside the territory.

If those who come later want to develop, they need to meet various conditions.

And when these sects that went global achieved great success, these sects also left a fulcrum in the Central Plains in a tacit understanding to show that they would not forget the place of their ancestral home.

These forces who stayed in the Central Plains all get along very harmoniously with each other. After all, how can the Central Plains compare with the vastness of the outside world? It is very boring for one's own family to fight with one's own family.

However, the fulcrum forces staying in the Central Plains are not completely without tasks, because according to the suggestion of the martial arts leader, all the forces going out will hold a martial arts competition every three years, so that the major forces can remember that the strength of martial arts is the key. their foundation.

In the past 20 years of great development, new masters have emerged in an endless stream. In the past, it was rare to see top masters. Now, there are dozens of them just by name. In the past, top masters could run rampant. In the world, top-notch masters are no longer so valuable.

It can be said that the strength of the entire Swordsman world has risen to a new level, and there is still room for improvement.

And in the past 20 years, in addition to Xu Yang and Dongfang Bubai, another wild innate master has emerged, but he is from the Emei sect, which has declined.

This man was once a being with astonishing talent, but he had some scruples later on, so he faked his death and practiced hard in seclusion on Mount Emei until he broke through the innate talent and was born.

It's just that the huge changes in the Jianghu court made it difficult for him to adapt for a while. He simply heard rumors that there were innate masters in the Jianghu, and there were two of them.

It's just that Dongfang Bubai is dead, and only Xu Yang, the leader of the martial arts alliance, is left.

With a living innate master here, how could he not be overjoyed? After all, reaching this level, it was really hard to be at a high place.

But when he excitedly came to Xu Yang to discuss, he was knocked down by Xu Yang with one move. However, Xu Yang did not kill him, but let him go. After all, no matter which innate master is Extremely rare.

As for Linghu Chong today, he still hasn't changed his prodigal habits. He is at a dead end and has no chance of being born.

Xu Yang could only say that everyone has their own choice and no one else can interfere.

　It’s almost over. The next world, Fengyun, is mainly about TV series. If you have any good ideas, let me know in the comment area.
