Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight unification of Europe and Asia

This time, the Stuart Dynasty no longer naively ignores the Ming Dynasty's military strength. Although it has been adopting appeasement policies before, it is still vigilant. The update is fast and there is no advertisement.

As early as a few months ago, when the Ming Dynasty launched an offensive against Italy, Charles I transferred a large number of troops that had been expanded back to near London, especially the closest area of ​​the Isle of Wight to prevent the army of the Isle of Wight from landing in this area.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty gradually increased its troops in the Ming Concession in London and the Isle of Wight, the British authorities did not show too panic and even began to plan how to deal with the Ming Dynasty's upcoming offensive.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty wanted to launch a war against England on the grounds that the Opium-selling cargo ship sold by Meisheng Company was sunk by England and the Stuart dynasty increased its troops near London. However, it was unexpected that Charles I, England, would attack the Ming army in the London Concession first, with the intention of driving out the Ming army in London before the Ming Dynasty launched a large-scale attack to fully control various strategic areas.

The British army took the initiative, but the Ming army stationed in the London Concession area also resisted tenaciously and successfully defended the bridgehead where the main force of the Ming Dynasty landed in London.

It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty had troops stationed in London and the Isle of Wight before that, just as two daggers were placed between England's neck, it was almost an easy task for the Ming Dynasty to seize the core area of ​​England's one fell swoop.

Charles I thought that he could regain the Ming Dynasty's controlled area in London by taking preemptive measures, but it was contrary to his wishes, so he had to abandon the city of London and evacuate towards Scotland.

In the autumn of the 45th year of the Ming Dynasty, 200,000 Ming troops began to advance to the city of London, and advanced from Manchester, Birmingham and other cities to the northern part of England.

Charles I organized a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty in Malinga, but the result was naturally a great victory for the Ming Dynasty. England, whose territory was not very wide, did not have enough strategic depth, so naturally could not withstand the Ming Dynasty's attack.

By the time Zhu Youxiao set foot on the land of England, Charles I was already captured alive.

Zhu Youxiao was not very interested in seeing the English king. Just as he was too lazy to see the French king Louis XIV, he simply ordered his subordinates to shoot the man directly.

By the time the English Stuart Dynasty was destroyed, it means that the entire Western Europe had been occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

Next, the only countries that need to be pacified are Rakshasa and the Ottoman countries.

For this reason, the Ministry of War also argued about whether to fight Rakshasa first or the Ottoman Empire first.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao decided to attack at the same time, and there was no need to worry about the Ottomans or the Rakshasa Kingdom first. After all, this expedition to Western Europe left a large amount of free labor and plundered a large amount of raw materials and ore resources, so it would be better to increase the scale of the war.

The Northern Line Group of Li Dingguo, an army of Jiao Lian's army, and the army in the northern desert area of ​​the country formed a North Advance Group to attack the Luosha Kingdom in the east and west directions.

The Eastern Front Group, an army of Jiao Lian's army and the Ming Navy formed a southward group and went directly south to attack the Ottoman Empire.

These two so-called powerful countries have no power to resist in front of the Ming Dynasty, the super empire. Although large-scale wars can be organized, due to the backwardness of weapons, equipment and combat ideas, no matter how many troops are, they can only make fillings for meat grinders.

By the 47th year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty had successively pacified the Ottoman and Rakshasa countries. Then in the 48th year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty marched into South Asia. At this point, there was no civilized country in the entire world except the Ming Dynasty.

Only some primitive tribes or indigenous peoples in the Americas and Africa.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not think of letting go of the original area of ​​America. After the end of the Eurasian War, he immediately sent an advance army across the Bering Strait to explore the Americas.

But now, Zhu Youxiao has no intention of moving a large number of military and civilians to cultivate America on a large scale. After all, the war has just ended, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded sharply to twice the size of its previous territory, which means that it will take longer to digest, especially the strict removal of these newly occupied hells.

From Greenland to Cape of Good Hope, from Bering Strait to Mount Kossiasco, Australia, two-thirds of the world's territory was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, which would be an unprecedented problem for the management of the empire.

At this time, many newly occupied places were almost just military-controlled areas, and no one even managed them. The army simply rudely massacred those in power, and then the local area was in a state of disarray. Moreover, even if a million troops were sent to various places, they could not effectively manage a castle. There was even a phenomenon of managing tens of thousands of square kilometers of land.

In addition, although the Ming Dynasty now has telegrams, it is indeed difficult to let the central government manage such a large territory in communication, so it can only adopt the method of centralization and feudal system. Zhu Youxiao wanted to directly adopt the system of vassal kings, but he had no choice but to find that although there were many capable people among the royal children, it would not be enough to only let the Zhu family manage the newly occupied areas with full authority.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao adopted the governor's responsibility system, and divided the areas except the Ming Dynasty, namely the Xing'anling Mountains to Java Island according to geographical boundaries, etc., and the governor controlled the military and political power in the region.

The first person who was given the order was Zhu Youxiao's own descendants and other powerful royal relatives, and secondly, senior officials or generals with administrative talents in the army. For example, Zhu Youlang became the governor of Australia of the Ming Dynasty, while Li Dingguo became the governor of England.

Many officials in the court also criticized this kind of governor-in-chief system. After all, everyone could see that this was similar to the vassal states during the Tang Dynasty. Once a certain governor's strength increased greatly, it is difficult to guarantee that the central dynasty would not be destroyed.

Zhu Youxiao was also worried about this. No one could predict whether the political outcome would be replaced by these governors in many years. But what could they do if they did not do this? With the current administrative effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty, it could not rely on centralized management to occupy two-thirds of the land on earth, and could only be managed in this way.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao has always firmly grasped that the governor's appointment power is in the hands of the court, and the military's right to mobilize the army and the general's appointment and removal power are still controlled by the court. It is just that the public safety force is established and the governor is led by the governor. In other words, the military power is still controlled by the court.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also deliberately divided the major governors into a more detailed area, and the officials of the prefectures, prefectures and counties in these areas also monopolized the power of the governors, which means that there are many small princes at all levels in the country, which can further avoid the powerful regime outside the Ming Dynasty in the future.

However, just as no one can predict how the situation will change in the future, just as human life cannot last, the fate of the Ming Dynasty cannot last long, and there is no most effective policy in the world that can keep the Ming Dynasty alive. All Zhu Youxiao can do is to let Chinese civilization unify the world. So he dare not expect now whether he can always have one country in the world, but he believes that he can try his best to make the world have only one mainstream civilization.
