The same is true for other Western sects. They did not expect that the extremely powerful Cossack cavalry would become prisoners of war in the Ming Empire at this moment.

Unexpectedly, these Cossack cavalry, who had the same skin and were obviously much stronger, would be handcuffed at this time, and were dragged to the execution ground by the army of the Ming Empire like animals, and knelt down to himself with a frustration. They were as depressed as eggplant.

Galileo and other Western players couldn't help but straighten their chests. Once upon a time, they faced a powerful tribe in this way.

But it was in the Ming Dynasty that they let the powerful Cossack cavalry kneel in front of them for the first time, and they also gained an unprecedented sense of superiority.

Many foreign players, including Galileo, basically learned from newspapers that the Empire had fought with the Cossacks of the North Rakshasa Kingdom some time ago. At that time, many Western players believed that the Ming Empire would suffer losses. Although the Ming Dynasty had dispatched nearly 100,000 elite troops to the north, in their opinion, it was difficult for the empire's army to defeat the always-famous Cossacks. Even if it was defeated, it might be just a miserable victory.

But at this time, when they saw the Cossack prisoners of war kneeling in front of them with their own eyes, and when they heard Yang Sichang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War on the city tower, presented the news of the victory of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao, to suppress the Cossack cavalry this time, no one was shocked and surprised.

"I have no intention of being enemies with other countries in this world. Since Emperor Chengzu, I have sent the countries of the South and Western countries to make friendship for generations. However, those sluts ignore the dignity of the Ming Empire and even take advantage of the fact that our Ming Dynasty has no time to look outside because of the defeat of the enemy, and even kill our people! Today, I will show the heads of these hundreds of Cossack cavalry to publicize them, warning the countries that those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!"

Zhu Youxiao stood up and came to the Meridian Gate at this time. He spoke seriously to the people from all over the world in front of him. Although his tone was still plain, anyone could feel the conceit and arrogance that dominated the world in this tone.

At the same time, the heads of these Cossack cavalry were also pressed under the guillotine. Looking at the Cossack cavalry with different expressions waiting to be executed, these men could not tell what they were feeling at this time. They only knew that they should not offend this empire and never let themselves be executed like this.

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand gently, then put his hand on it, and shouted: "Chun!"

In an instant, everyone widened their eyes and saw the guillotine hanging several feet high falling down quickly, and then quickly landing on the neck of the Cossack cavalry prisoners.

Click!

Hundreds of heads were cut off directly in front of the Meridian Gate, and blood was sprayed directly into the sky like a fountain.

Some of the extras couldn't help but vomit.

Galileo couldn't help but lose his legs. He never thought that he would see such a bloody scene shortly after just feeling the air of freedom of this empire.

In this era, the Ming Dynasty did not worship foreigners, fear foreigners, nor did it care about the views of Western colonists and the so-called evaluation of human rights.

My Ming Dynasty is the spokesperson of civilization, I am human rights! I am the safeguarding and judge of social order and morality!

Therefore, no official or scholar of the Ming Dynasty felt any concern or fear about killing hundreds of white Cossack cavalry at once.

In Daming's eyes at this moment, they are just a group of disobedient inferiors. Since they are disobedient, they deserve the punishment they deserve!

...

"No matter what skin you are, no matter which country you come from, no matter whether you are strong or weak, as long as you intend to invade my Ming Dynasty, you will bear the anger of my Ming Dynasty! You and your country will pay the price for your stupidity!"

Zhu Youxiao's words on the Meridian Gate still lingers in the ears of these people. Even Galileo, who was not concerned about such political events, did not expect that this empire would have such a fierce and cruel side in addition to its tolerance and freedom.

These dozen bloody heads brought him not only shock but also intimidation!

“Although they were gorgeously dressed and looked polite, they were bloodier than ours to the invaders’ execution!

From now on, I truly felt the deterrence and power of a huge empire! He was not afraid of any provocateur in this world. Behind his kindness was his sharp claws. Once you have any disrespect and offense, he will ruthlessly deprive everything you have of you."

While Galileo sighed like this, he couldn't help but hold his hands on his chest and prayed.

Like him, other missionaries also prayed. The shocking scene made them feel a sense of fear of the Ming Empire while yearning for it.

But because of this, they brought a more real Ming Dynasty back to their own country.

The rulers of the European powers such as Folangji and Hongfangui began to have to suppress their anger and take a cautious attitude towards their relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, they also have hatred for the Cossack cavalry, as Western countries of Europe.

Nowadays, some Europa countries even hope to rely on this Eastern Empire to unite against the expansion of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Of course, it is not ruled out that indigenous people in some countries or regions continue to ignore the existence of the Ming Dynasty, especially the indigenous people in the South China who still hate China and massacre the Chinese in the South China Sea. They have never experienced revenge and attacks from the Northern Empire. Therefore, in their opinion, this warning is just a shout.

However, what they didn't know was that Zhu Youxiao's words were not just shouting.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao specially beheaded the capital city where hundreds of Cossack prisoners of war were escorted to the capital in front of all the outsiders in Beijing was a sign that Zhu Youxiao wanted the Ming Dynasty to appear on the international stage.

As a super empire in the East, since the Ming Dynasty wanted to rise in the ocean age and want to rely on advanced productivity to create more wealth, it had to expand externally and plunder more resources throughout the world to achieve the purpose of primitive capital accumulation.

Perhaps because the Ming Dynasty was dominated by the small peasant economy, the interests of the entire imperial ruling class came from domestic tax revenue.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty's country operation is almost entirely dependent on taxes brought by commercial trade, and the army and royal capital that maintains social stability also basically relies on the profits obtained from overseas by advanced productivity to achieve the accumulation of wealth.

It is normal for Japan, which was still in the shogunate era, the Southeast Asian countries that relied on selling bananas and various rice, and the regimes that had become puppets of Western colonists, to realize this.

Because Folangji and other countries are too far away, they are busy dealing with the competition for interests in the European region, and they have no time to carefully consider what information the Ming Empire released at this time.

But at least, Zhu Youxiao made these fans start to treat their relationship with the Ming Dynasty carefully through hundreds of heads of Cossack cavalry prisoners, which achieved Zhu Youxiao's political purpose. As for whether these countries would forget the Ming Dynasty's vigilance, Zhu Youxiao was not interested, because in the future, the Ming Dynasty would use guns and cannons to remind them of the Ming Dynasty's vigilance at this moment.

...

Once the situation in the outside Northeast has stabilized, the rest is to continue infrastructure construction and restoration and consolidate the occupied areas.

The Jiannu and the Mongolian Lindan Khan tribe were not immediately launched on the war against them because of the rest of the Imperial Guards.

The pass is still stable, and only the war in the west is still going on.

The Western Expedition Army led by Zu Dale and King Xin Zhu Youjian had entered the Longyou area at this time.

According to the administrative division at this time of the Ming Dynasty, the westernmost part should be the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Xingdusi, which is called Shaanxi Xingdusi, and the actual control area is equivalent to that of Gansu now.

And it is only limited to the east of Jiayuguan, below Jiayuguan and even northwest passes such as Yumenguan and Yangguan are all under the control of the Mongolian tribes.

Zhu Youxiao's mission to the Western Expedition Army was to fight from Jiayuguan to the Hami Guard. It was not until the Hami Guard was recaptured that the combat mission was completed and the troops could be returned to the court.

In other words, the current Western Expedition Army, led by Zu Dale and Zhu Youjian, must fight from the current Longyou to the northern border, which is equivalent to going from Huaibei to southern Fujian.

On this long line of conquest, there are endless deserts and harsh climatic conditions and cavalry from Mongolian tribes.

But the Guanning Army is no better than the Imperial Guards. Although most of them are mainly cavalry, their equipment is behind the Imperial Guards and they are still a classical army. There are no poison gas bombs that can be used to fire or firing continuously. Even the best artillery is the Folang machine cannon.

In addition to filling the grain and meeting basic military pay, the Ministry of War did not give them more supplies. Compared with an ordinary soldier in the Imperial Guard, he had to see meat and fish in each section. As the Western Expedition Army, Guanning Army could only use steamed buns and wild vegetables as the main food.

This is also impossible. Before Zhu Youxiao established the Imperial Guards, these Guanning troops did not take him as a king seriously. They ignored the central government's orders and raised the enemy to respect themselves, followed the command and not the prophecy, and even wanted to control the central court for a time.

Since Zhu Youxiao has already mastered real power and has his own imperial guards, he no longer needs these arrogant Guanning Army to maintain his rule, so there is no need to take these remaining Guanning Army remaining seriously.

From Zu Dashou's death to the extermination of most of the Guanning Army, which was killed by Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, was declared the beginning of the demise of the Guanning Army, and also marked that they would no longer play an important role in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao is just letting this army that is about to be eliminated make its last contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

That is to let him and Zhu Youjian bury the Ming Dynasty together!

...

A place called Heilong Fort twenty miles outside Jiayuguan was originally where Duke Feng Sheng of Song Dynasty was his residence during the Western Expedition. Later, it gradually developed into a market town, but it was gradually abandoned due to wind and sand.

Now, the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition Army still uses this place as the starting point of the Western Expedition.

Zhu Youjian stood outside the tent and watched the sunset set without saying anything. Since joining the army, he has become more taciturn.

As a former strong contender for the throne, at this time, he watched the Ming Dynasty gradually recover its former strength and occupied the southern part of the desert, put down the pirates, and the taxes were reduced again and again, but the government was still working normally. Zhu Youjian felt quite uncomfortable, and he couldn't say he was happy or lost.

But one fact he had to admit was that he had no chance of fighting for the throne now.

Now all the vassal kings are locked in the capital. Not to mention the army, there is not even the wealth to recruit troops. Zhu Youxiao cannot find allies anymore. In addition, during his time in the Imperial Guard, he deeply realized the absolute authority of his royal brother in the Imperial Guard.

Zhu Youjian naturally knew that it was impossible to be a free prince in the capital like other vassal kings in his own identity.

Even, he knew that the reason why he was put into the army to participate in the battle, and even sent to the Guanning Army to fight the West was also what His Majesty wanted to let him die on the battlefield today.

Zhu Youjian knew that he could only accept this way of death calmly, and he had to thank Zhu Youxiao for giving him this way of death, because this way could at least make him a good reputation for dying on the battlefield.

As Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Dale also felt the same way. He also knew that his destiny could only be forgiven by His Majesty today if he died in the battlefield.

At the beginning, he did not raise troops to resist because of the death of his brother because of Man Gui's restraint and because he was not a Wu father and son, he did not have such great ambitions and courage. Later, the Wu father and son were in harmony with the court and secretly contacted him for major events several times. He also felt that the court was stronger than the Wu father and son, and he was unwilling to abandon the name of loyalty and righteousness, and he has been the general of the court until now.

Now that the court asked him to lead the main force in the headquarters to expedition to Hamiwei, he naturally knew that the court wanted to use the Mongolian Tartars to weaken his power and even take his life.

Not only did Zu Dale understand, but most of his generals knew the intention of the court. As Zu Dale's most powerful confidant general, Zu Kuan, had repeatedly clamored to rebel directly, but they were forcibly dissuaded by Zu Dale.

At this time, when Zu Kuan saw Zu Dale depressed, he shook his big belly and walked over again: "Brother Le, in my opinion, why should we give this Gou Ri court's life? But we don't even give some moldy food and a few copper coins, and even a few cannons. We let tens of thousands of old and weak fight these Mongolian Tartars, and we have to fight until the Hami Guard. Even Huo Qubing and Wei Qing can't do anything in this world. This is clearly a crime of beheading us."

"Don't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise I'll be the first to chop you!"

Zu Dale had to shout loudly, saying that his most capable general was not a down-to-earth person, and he had violated many military disciplines. If he had not pleaded with the King of Legislatives several times in front of Jin, Zu Kuan would not have known how many times he had been killed. Now that he has left Liaodong, he has been seriously illegitimate again and has become unrestrained. Zu Dale was afraid that the people from the Jinyiwei would be able to listen to him, and then His Majesty would not be able to tolerate him even more!

Zu Kuan had to shut up, and Zu Dalei couldn't bear to reprimand him when he saw this, but advised him kindly: "The Wu father and son have been wiped out by the court. We only have tens of thousands of remaining soldiers to fight against the court. If the court wants to destroy us, we only need a brigade of the Imperial Guards to let you and me be prisoners. What's more, we have no territory, no food and salary. It's the greatest fortune to be able to get rid of horses and corpses. It's not easy to use this to reverse the world. Look at King Xin, and you didn't dare to mention the word "rebellion". This is Your Majesty's open plan. If the king wants his ministers to die, he has to die!"...
