A few days later, the Ministry of Works modified the blueprints of the Great Ming Battleship.
With the money, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works were confident.
A sixty-foot-long, twenty-five-foot-wide model of the Ming Treasure Ship appeared on the stage of history for the first time.
This kind of Ming Treasure Ship was even more magnificent and powerful than the ship that Eunuch San Bao used to sail to the West!
Zhu Youtang looked at the model and was very satisfied.
He immediately sent people to have Ma Wensheng open up a secret military base near the shore of Zhoushan.
Hundreds of craftsmen and military households entered the harbor of Zhoushan Guard at the same time and began to build the Great Ming Treasure Ship day and night.
Earlier on, Zhu Youtang had already ordered the Ministry of War to quickly recruit and train the navy. Once these warships were thrown into the sea, the navy that had been trained earlier would be put to good use.
……
"Call Mou Bin over."
Zhu Youtang instructed casually in Yangxin Hall.
A moment later.
Mou Bin hurried over.”
Zhu Youtang went straight to the point." Go to Datong. I've been feeding Yang Yiqing for some time. It's time to show my blade!"”
He had given Yang Yiqing a year's time. If Yang Yiqing was not a fool, the soldiers of the Nine Edges should have already reached a certain level.
In addition, the Ministry of War was constantly sending firearms over. It was currently midsummer, and the timing, location, and people were all present. All the opportunities for battle had appeared.
Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes and said calmly,""It's time to deal with the two little thieves in the north.”
Looking at the indifferent Zhu Youtang, Mou Bin's heart skipped a beat.
The Emperor said it lightly, but Mou Bin knew that the killing intent in his words would be revealed.
The so-called 'taking care of the thieves'…was Yang Yiqing launching a war against the Wala and Tartar kingdoms!
Mou Bin didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly said,""Yes!"
……
Northern Borderline.
The Minister of Works, Jia Jun, had been in the northern border for more than three months. Spring had passed and summer had arrived. The northern border was gradually getting hotter.
Batches of Turpan people who built the Great Wall were either dead or crippled.
After these people were captured, they were full of hostility towards Da Ming.
Would they still dare to do so now?
Everyone looked at the Ming army with reverence and pleading.
They begged the Ming people to let them rest for a day or two hours, and begged the Ming army to give them more food.
Looking at the tragic scene on the Great Wall west of Jiayu Pass.
In the heat, Huang Hua, who had just arrived at the Great Wall, felt a little sorry.
To him, this scene was…too cruel.
"Huang Gei, do you think this place is a little inhumane?”Jia Jun looked at the worried Huang Hua and asked softly.
Huang Hua sighed, but he wisely didn't say anything.
"Huang Gaishi, it's your first time in Jiubian, so there are some things you haven't seen through yet. You'll understand once you understand these Turfan people.”
Minister Jia had just finished speaking.
Some Turpan people held sharp iron wires and stabbed at the Ming soldiers guarding the city wall.
Huang Hua was shocked!
Jia Jun smiled." Don't be nervous about Huang Gei. This is the barbaric side of the barbarians. These things often happen in Jiubian.”
The Ming army looked at this scene in disdain. They waved their sabers and slaughtered indifferently before throwing them out of the city.
Huang Hua's face twitched.
Looking down from the city wall, he found that the bottom of the city wall was already piled up with corpses.
"Some couldn't stand the hunger and jumped down, while others were pushed down by the boys when they failed to assassinate.”
Jia Jun said indifferently, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
When he first came to Jiubian, he had the same kind intentions as Huang Hua.
Until one time, when he was about to give some water to the Turpan people, he was ambushed by the Turpan people. His left arm still had a scar.
From then on, Jia Jun understood a principle. Those who were not of the same race would have different hearts.
Many principles were the same. Without experiencing blood and fire, one would never fully understand the meaning of the ancestor's words.
"Kill this person's family and throw them outside the city to feed the wolves.”
Jia Jun ordered indifferently.
Because of this assassination attempt, several Turpan people were implicated and were thrown to the city by the Ming army while wailing.
"Now, do you understand what a frontier fortress is?”
Behind him, the Left Deputy Imperial Censor Yang Yiqing walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Now do you know why our border army is so cruel to the Outsiders?”
Yang Yiqing asked again.
"Let me tell you, when our Han family fell into their hands, the abuse we suffered was far crueler than this!”
"This is war!"
Yang Yiqing shouted.
Huang Hua was stunned on the spot, not moving at all.
Gradually, he seemed to understand why Zhu Youtang was so protective of the border army.
"Report, report, report!"
"Lord Yang, the Embroidered Uniform Guards are waiting for you in Da Tong with the Emperor's decree.”
"Good!" Yang Yiqing seemed to have a premonition as he looked at Huang Hua with a trembling gaze."Follow me back to Da Tong!"
After Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, Yang Yiqing continued to operate in the northern borders for more than a year.
Over the past year, the Ming army had been trained by him until they were screaming.
He felt that the time was ripe.
He was just about to ask the emperor to launch a war to destroy the country.
At this moment, the Emperor had sent an imperial edict.
Yang Yiqing was a little enthusiastic. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He had been dormant in the Nine Edges for more than ten years and had personally witnessed the Nine Edges 'military strength grow from its initial weakness to its current unparalleled strength.
He had personally witnessed the arrogance of the Tartars and Wala people, and now they were afraid of the Ming army like tigers, hiding in the grasslands and not daring to take a step south.
But do you think you can enjoy peace by hiding in the grasslands? The logic of the world was not that simple!
Back then, you guys were used to knocking on the door. Now, it's time for you to experience the feeling of panic!
Just you wait, my emperor is going to attack you!
King of Tartar, prepare to face the wrath of the emperor!
"Giddyup!"
Yang Yiqing and Huang Hua rode their horses on the Great Wall without any obstacles. They arrived at Da Tong Prefecture the next evening.
He didn't dare to rest for a moment, so he led Huang Hua to listen to the Holy Decree.
