Chapter 711 Tens of thousands of troops push the Ming Empire
Apocalypse Empire.
The news that the two countries were about to go to war had long spread throughout the country.
In an instant, all departments and people in the country took action quickly.
Before Cheng Mu returned, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was already coordinating matters with the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
And the people in the country, young and old, also joined the army to serve the country.
In terms of the people's support, sense of belonging, support rate, and patriotism, the people of the Apocalypse Empire are the strongest.
In this world, it is estimated that no country's people are as patriotic as the people of the Apocalypse Empire.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
As soon as Cheng Mu returned to Tianqi City, Guan Hai and others immediately came to see him.
At this moment, whether it is Guan Hai, the Minister of War, or his generals, Zhang Wanlong, Zhao Yun and others.
They are extremely excited now. After a truce for more than half a year, they feel like their lives are about to fade away.
"Pass my order! Summon all important ministers to the Qinzheng Palace to discuss matters."
Cheng Mu didn't waste any time, and orders came out of his mouth one after another.
In an instant, many ministers from the country came rushing over.
Inside the Qinzheng Hall.
Cheng Muqin appointed a number of important ministers who could be commanded.
Zhuge Liang, the first prime minister, currently needs to maintain the development of the entire country.
Lin Chengzi, the governor of Shenzhou Province, and Guan Zhong, the governor of Qingzhou Province. Like Zhuge Liang, they have a heavy burden on their shoulders.
At present, the only minister Cheng Mu can command is Xiao He, a man of great political talent.
But his skills seem to be more suitable for the battlefield. Once the [Convention] comes out, no matter how brutal the battlefield is, it can turn conflicts into friendship.
This is an excellent way to preserve strength and avoid annihilation of the entire army.
"In this case, Xiao He should also go with the army this time."
Cheng Mu made a plan in his mind. Having Xiao He here can be regarded as a guarantee for the battlefield.
Not only that. As long as he takes Daming under his command, Xiao He can take office immediately.
Governor of Mingzhou Province was the position Cheng Mu planned to give to Xiao He.
As for the generals and the army.
The Apocalypse Empire is currently able to mobilize four major land armies: the Apocalypse Army, the Yiwang Army, the Flying Tiger Army, and the Shenzhou Army.
In terms of the navy, it is the Kyushu Army and the Fierce Shark Army currently in Xiaoliuqiu.
As for the Qingzhou Army led by Wei Xiaobao and the Beifu Army led by Xie Xuan, their mission was to guard against the invasion of the Tang Empire.
Yes, after Yu Qian arrived in the Tang Empire, Cheng Mu got the news.
Although he didn't know what Yu Qian and Li Shimin said, he could guess something if he thought about it carefully.
Zhu Di wanted to unite with the Tang Empire to attack him.
Then this kind of thing depends on Li Shimin's attitude. If you want to fight, then fight! This is also Cheng Mu's attitude.
Although I rejected the envoy from the Han Empire last time.
So this time, I can also unite the Song Empire and the Han Empire. In the face of national interests, many alliances are as fragile as paper.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Guo Jia asked: "Should we go to the Tang Empire first?"
Although Cheng Mu was no longer afraid of the Tang Empire, the attitude of the Tang Empire at this time was still very important.
If Li Shimin had not intervened, the Apocalypse Empire could have crushed the Ming Empire to death bit by bit without any worries!
"Can."
Cheng Mu nodded and said, "You can go and pay tribute to me for your hard work."
At this moment, Li Shimin has not broken up with him yet, so he still needs to do some superficial work on his side.
If Li Shimin doesn't accept it, it's not too late to change his attitude.
Anyway, Tianniao has already gone to convey the news and ordered Wei Xiaobao to lead the Qingzhou Army to withdraw to the mainland.
In the Song Empire, Cheng Mu stopped playing.
"Send the order to fall in love with the sword."
At this time, he ordered: "Order them to prepare for battle!"
"Send an order to Nie Ba to lead the Ba Sword Army to withdraw from the battlefield of the Song Empire!"
"The Tiger Army of Fat Tiger in March rushes to support the Divine Sword Army with all its strength."
What Cheng Mu has to do is to show his attitude. Li Shimin wants to intervene? Then show him the strength of his Apocalypse Empire.
As for Dongfang Nuo's Mo Shuang Army, the ruthless Sword Soul Army, and Beichen's Beichen Army.
The goal of these three armies of knights is the Ming Empire.
At present, the war on the Ming Empire's side is about to begin.
"I obey my orders."
Guan Hai took the order, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what are the Yaman army and the Shawang army?"
He did not forget Di Ri's Yaman army and Lei Dun's Shah army, these two special armies.
Cheng Mu nodded: "Their goal is also the Ming Empire."
Since we want to fight, we must use lightning speed to defeat the Ming Empire with one blow.
Sending a few teams to fight against each other? That's a complete waste of time.
What he wants is to wipe out the whole group in one fell swoop and make the final decision.
"Weichen will go immediately to make arrangements."
After Guan Hai heard this, he hurriedly dispatched various armies.
"Fan Aiqing."
At this time, Cheng Mu asked: "How is the current construction progress of the dragon ship?"
As the Minister of Industry, Fan Li was responsible for the construction of the giant ship.
As for the naming of the giant Fu Ship, Cheng Mu also called it the Dragon Ship!
The dragon ship has a hull length of one kilometer. Its width is wider than the width of three Tianlong battleships placed side by side.
Its weight exceeds 50,000 tons. It can carry 20,000 soldiers!
Naturally, Cheng Mu hoped that such a huge ship could be put to use in the battle against the Ming Empire.
I also want Zhu Di to see, and everyone in the world to see, the strength of the Apocalypse Empire.
"Your Majesty."
Fan Li reported: "The first batch of dragon ships have been built and are just waiting for your Majesty's order."
After all, this is the most powerful battleship in the world today. When it is launched into the water, there must be a sense of ceremony.
"good."
Cheng Mu nodded: "Tomorrow, we will deliver it to Zhang Shun."
There are only ten dragon ships in the first batch. At present, they are just enough to supply Zhang Shun's Tianlong Army.
As for Zheng Yisao's Kyushu Fleet and Zheng Chenggong's Shark Army, they are currently not even fully equipped with Tianlong battleships.
There is no way, building a battleship takes a long time.
However, after Cheng Muzai built many shipyards, the number and efficiency of building ships increased.
One special-grade shipyard can build one Tianlong battleship in one month. One hundred special-grade shipyards can also build one hundred Tianlong battleships in one month.
According to Cheng Mu's wishes, the Kyushu Fleet and the Shark Army will first use the Tianlong battleship to transition. After the dragon ship is fully mass-produced, it will not be too late to assemble the dragon ship.
Anyway, the future Apocalypse Empire will have far more naval fleets than this.
at last.
After discussions with many ministers, Cheng Mu formulated a general battle plan.
Regarding the Tang Empire, Guo Jia had previously gone to talk about Li Shimin's tone.
At the same time, General Xie Xuan's Beifu Army, Wei Xiaobao's Qingzhou Army, Yi Sword's Divine Sword Army, Nieba's Tyrant Sword Army, and March Fat Tiger's Tiger Army.
These five armies were stationed at the border of Qingzhou Province to guard against Li Shimin's rebellion and invasion after the collapse of Guo Jia's talks.
The most powerful of these five armies is the Divine Sword Army led by Yi Jian Qingxin.
With first-class strength, this is a truly super-god-level unit. This is one of the reasons why Cheng Mu dared to challenge Li Shimin!
My own Apocalypse Empire has initially gained the strength to resist the powerful ones in the Shentai realm.
As for the war in the Ming Empire.
As the Minister of War, Guan Hai had full authority to take charge of this battle.
Shenzhou Army, Yiwang Army, Feihu Army, Sword Soul Army, Mo Shuang Army, Beichen Army, Yaman Army, and Shawang Army.
These eight armies were gifts prepared by Cheng Mu and Zhu Di.
In addition to Xiaoliuqiu's Kyushu Fleet and the Fierce Shark Army, the number of armies fighting against the Ming Empire reached a terrifying ten armies with tens of millions of troops.
Among them, Diri's Yaman army and Leidun's Shah army are the strongest.
Relying on their racial characteristics, their soldier level has reached the super god level.
The three ranger armies, Sword Soul Army, Mo Shuang Army, and Beichen Army, are at the second level in strength. In their armies, there are first-rate ranger soldiers and second-rate ranger soldiers.
Therefore, his soldier level is at the half-step super god level.
And because the five armies, the Shenzhou Army, the Yiwang Army, the Feihu Army, the Kyushu Army, and the Fierce Shark Army, were newly formed not long ago.
Their strength is naturally at the lowest level. The rank of soldiers is at the prince level and the overlord level.
Although he has not become a super god, there is no problem in overthrowing the Ming Empire.
"Jia Aiqing!"
When the meeting was about to end, Cheng Mu once again told Jia Sixie: "You must ensure that the logistics support for the soldiers abroad is flawless."
With tens of millions of troops out at war, the pressure on logistical supplies is huge.
Cheng Mu did not want his soldiers to starve on the distant battlefield.
"Your Majesty, please put it down."
Jia Sixie issued a military order: "If the supply of food and fodder is delayed for even one second, all the ministers will raise their heads to see you, Your Majesty!"
Just before the meeting, he was personally recruiting civilian husbands.
For those Chinese who actively join the army, transporting food and grass is also serving the country!
And since Cheng Muti ordered him last time, the current domestic grain production has reached a very terrifying amount.
In the beginning, under his governance, the average grain yield per mu of the Apocalypse Empire was around five thousand kilograms. But now, the domestic grain output can reach a terrifying ten thousand kilograms.
This is rice, not high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn.
Therefore, this strong logistical support was also the reason why Cheng Mu dared to go to war against the Ming Empire.
The second day.
Outside Tianqi City, in the endless Kunming Lake.
Cheng Mu led the civil and military officials to sit on a high platform and personally witnessed the launching of the first batch of dragon ships.
The dragon ship is nearly 100 meters high. If someone stands underneath it, it really feels like looking up at a mountain.
"In the future, I will be free to ride on the sea!"
Cheng Mu softly spat out these eight words.
moment.
"In the future, I will be free to ride on the sea!"
"In the future, I will be free to ride on the sea!"
"In the future, I will be free to ride on the sea!"
Two hundred thousand Tianlong Army soldiers shouted loudly in unison, their momentum rising through the sky.
With such a giant ship around, the giant beasts in the sea are no longer a threat.
"Go to war!"
After all the Tianlong Army officers and soldiers boarded the ship, Cheng Mu personally put on the armor and rode the thirty-meter-high Panda.
