At the end of the 30th year after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the second round of expansion of the compulsory education plan was successfully completed.
Compulsory education in Ming Dynasty has been successfully expanded to the state level.
With the implementation of compulsory education, a large number of outstanding talents were cultivated for Ming Dynasty.
In the same year, Ming Dynasty also established the world's first mechanized army.
One hundred and fifty armored vehicles, plus 200 vehicles, formed the world's first armored brigade.
Moreover, Ming Dynasty also completed the formation of the world's first purely steam-powered armored fleet.
The flagship of the fleet has a tonnage of up to 6,000 tons, is equipped with nearly a hundred large and small artillery, and has a speed of up to 21 knots.
The population of Ming Dynasty also successfully exceeded the 300 million mark.
The number of Ming immigrants in the New World has also approached tens of millions.
The entire west coast of the New World was basically occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the power of the Ming Dynasty also began to penetrate into the interior of the New World.
And prepare to take control of Panama and prepare to dig the Panama Canal.
Thirty-two years after the liberation, Ming Dynasty’s first cross-sea cable was successfully laid.
The communication efficiency from the New World to the Ming Dynasty has been greatly improved.
In the same year, Ming Dynasty completed the exploration work of the Panama Canal and began to prepare for the facts.
Conflict broke out between the Ming Dynasty and Spain over the ownership of Panama.
The two sides started fighting again in the New World!
In order to curb the development of the Ming Dynasty in the New World, Spain joined forces with Britain, France, Portugal, the Netherlands and other Western countries to prepare for war with the Ming Dynasty in the New World.
The vassals enthroned by the Ming Dynasty in the New World also quickly completed war mobilization and prepared to participate in the war.
Zhu Hongyu ordered the mobilization of part of the Imperial Guard and armored units to participate in the war in the New World.
The next year, war broke out!
A full-scale conflict broke out between the two sides in the New World.
For a time, under the joint attack of Western countries, Ming's military strength in the New World became tight.
The vassal states in the New World could only shrink their troops and consolidate their defense lines.
For a time, the Ming Dynasty lost many important cities in the border areas!
However, as reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived and armored troops entered the battlefield, the situation reversed.
The Ming Dynasty's reinforcements first defeated the Spanish and Portuguese coalition forces in Panama, using armored troops to penetrate deeply, and directly fought a beautiful battle of annihilation.
The number of enemies wiped out was nearly 200,000, which can be described as a great victory.
Immediately afterwards, after repairing, the armored forces quickly mobilized northward and defeated the British, French and Dutch coalition forces in Mexico, once again creating the powerful record achieved in Panama.
The allied forces of Britain, France and the Netherlands collapsed thousands of miles away!
At the critical moment, the Indian cavalry also entered the scene and began to pursue the enemy and expand the results.
The Ming army marched towards Britain's thirteen colonies in North America!
However, due to logistical problems, the Ming army was not able to achieve a complete victory. The five-nation coalition forces of the Western countries finally stabilized the war situation and were not driven into the sea by the Ming army.
Thirty-three years after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the peace talks between the two sides broke down.
Western countries wooed Tsarist Russia, Austria, Prussia and other countries to form a new eight-nation coalition, preparing to confront the Ming Dynasty in the New World.
The war broke out in the thirty-fourth year after the Ming Dynasty was restored!
The Ming Dynasty and the Eight-Power Allied Forces are separated by an ocean and a continent. Although the Ming Dynasty's armored forces are powerful, they are limited by logistics and cannot completely change the overall situation.
The scene is almost like a Ming Dynasty challenging the entire Western world.
More importantly, even so, Ming Dynasty still had the absolute upper hand.
If it were not for distance and logistical constraints, Western countries would not be Ming Dynasty's opponents at all.
In order to break the situation, Zhu Hongyu sent envoys to the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire.
The Ottoman Empire received support from the Ming Dynasty and launched the Third Russo-Turkish War, which disrupted Eastern Europe.
The Persian Empire marched towards Central Asia and North Asia, launching surprise attacks on Tsarist Russia's rear.
The scale of the battle expanded.
Various vassals of the Ming Dynasty chose to send troops to participate in the war, investing troops in the battlefields of the New World and the battlefields of Asia and Europe.
As the war dragged on, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the West for the New World had completely turned into a world war.
This battle is a decisive battle between Eastern and Western civilizations!
It is a war between East and West for world dominance.
Through this war, the Ming Dynasty wanted to establish its status as the supreme kingdom of China and the world's hegemon.
Western countries must use this war to preserve the achievements they have made since the great voyage of discovery.
In this war, there is no room for compromise for both sides.
It determines both victory and defeat, and life and death!
Thirty-five years after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the war intensified.
On the one hand, Zhu Hongyu announced a large-scale mobilization in the country, mobilizing retired veterans to re-enlist in the army and go to the front line to participate in the war.
On the one hand, it also ordered royal enterprises to make donations and at the same time raised funds from all levels of society to prepare for a large-scale labor force on the front lines to boost morale.
Moreover, Zhu Hongyu also ordered the crown prince to personally take command as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army's New World Front and go to the New World to supervise the war.
As the Ming Dynasty gradually exerts its strength and industrial capabilities continue to be invested, the balance of war is constantly tilting towards the Ming Dynasty.
Steam-armored warships, armored vehicles, transport vehicles... are continuously produced in factories and then transported to the battlefield.
Instilled by patriotism and nationalism, a large number of young people took off their Confucian shirts, put on military uniforms, and generously went to the battlefield.
The military academy even opened short-term courses to quickly replenish junior officers for the front line.
As time goes by, Ming's advantage is getting bigger and bigger.
In a war, the Ming Dynasty could use hundreds or thousands of armored vehicles, which greatly changed the battlefield situation.
Planes even began to appear in the sky, scouting the battlefield for the Ming army.
The application of radio, the maturity of aluminum alloy technology, and the development of engines made the aircraft developed by Daming successfully fly into the sky.
The final decisive battle breaks out in Central America!
Both sides gathered nearly a million troops in Central America, and the decisive battle finally broke out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Ming army concentrated a large number of armored vehicles and aircraft. Under the guidance of the aircraft, the armored vehicles carried out large-depth breakthrough tactics.
The situation has opened up!
Behind the armored vehicle group are groups of heavy troops.
After the decisive battle, the armies of Western countries in the New World were almost wiped out.
As the Panama Canal was dug, Ming army armored warships appeared on the east coast of the New World.
And carried out large-scale shelling and harassment of thirteen states in North America.
As the war situation deteriorated, Western countries could only choose to seek peace from the Ming Dynasty.
Peace talks held in Nanjing!
The Ming Dynasty defeated the armies of Western countries through war, and through negotiations, gained control of the entire New World.
And drove the forces of Western countries out of the New World, turning the New World into the Ming Dynasty's private territory.
As the peace talks ended, both parties signed their signatures.
The dawn of peace finally shines on the earth.
At the end of the thirty-sixth year after the Ming Dynasty was restored, Zhu Hongyu, who was sixty years old this year, summoned his eldest son, who had just returned from the New World, to his bedside and presided over the peace talks.
He announced that he was going to abdicate and let him succeed him and ascend the throne as emperor.
Zhu Hongyu established the ancestral system, and all subsequent kings retired at the age of sixty to make way for the new king.
Faced with future generations of kings who are greedy for power, they will do some foolish things when they grow old.
The next year, a grand Zen ceremony was held in Nanjing.
The new emperor's reign was named Tianxing.
This year is the first year of Tianxing.
After the Zen ceremony, Zhu Hongyu moved out of the Forbidden City with his wife and concubines and lived in an imperial garden outside Nanjing for his retirement.
I spent the rest of my life comfortably.
After being busy for most of his life, he can count on being free for a few years.
Of course, Zhu Hongyu has a restless temper.
After he abdicated, except for the first year in Nanjing, he spent the next few years traveling around the country.
Famous mountains, rivers, places of interest, and many places have left Zhu Hongyu’s footprints.
Zhu Caikun was very envious of the free and unrestrained life.
Only now did he realize that the throne he had been waiting for so long was not as fragrant as he had imagined.
