Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 566 Personal Expedition

Upon hearing Kumārajīva's words, the Golden Wheel Monk instantly understood that Zhu Ying was now invincible. If the Ming Empire led by Zhu Ying were to destroy the Ming Dynasty, then Tibet would naturally be destroyed as well.

Therefore, the Golden Wheel Monk's idea was very simple: to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way could there be a glimmer of hope.

After the Golden Wheel Monk finished speaking, Kumārajīva nodded, clearly agreeing with the Golden Wheel Monk's suggestion.

Immediately.

With a serious expression, Kumārajīva said to the Golden Wheel Monk, "Now that things have come to this, my Tibet has no way out. Here's what we'll do: you go to the Ming Dynasty yourself and try to form an alliance with them!"

……

at the same time.

A few days later, inside the imperial palace of the capital city of Songzhou in the Great Ming Empire.

Liu Lei, the commander of the royal guards, was reporting military intelligence to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Imperial Grandson, I have just received news that the three armies of the Great Ming Empire have, with unstoppable momentum, successively captured dozens of Ming capitals!"

"To date, General Lan Yu has captured a total of twenty cities, while General Guo Zhen has captured fifteen cities, and General Mu Ying has captured twenty-five cities!"

"Now, most of the Ming Dynasty's territory has been controlled by our Great Ming Empire!"

After Liu Lei finished explaining the military situation, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally quite excited. He exclaimed repeatedly, "Excellent! Excellent!"

"As expected of soldiers from our Great Ming Dynasty! They are indeed powerful!"

"However, this shows that the Ming army is really weak. In less than half a month, the Ming has lost half of its territory!"

Zhu Biao, standing to the side, said, "Father, this is a good thing for our Great Ming Empire. If we continue at the current marching speed, we will probably be able to conquer the Ming capital in ten days!"

And this time.

Zhu Ying then turned to Liu Lei and asked, "What's the Ming Dynasty up to?"

Liu Lei dared not hesitate and immediately said, "Your Highness, since the start of the war, the Ming Dynasty has been actively mobilizing troops. Currently, the Ming general Wu Longhui has organized a full 300,000 troops in an attempt to annihilate the Imperial Guards. Unfortunately, Wu Longhui has completely underestimated the strength of the Imperial Guards."

"The 300,000-strong army led by Wu Longhui was basically wiped out by the Imperial Guards led by General Guo Zhen!"

As soon as Liu Lei finished speaking, Zhu Biao couldn't help but exclaim, "Guo Zhen's military capabilities are indeed strong. Now that the main force of the Ming army has been annihilated, it's only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty is destroyed."

Zhu Yuanzhang also praised, "Immediately send someone to tell Guo Zhen to continue leading the army to pursue the victory and quickly capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, I will naturally reward him handsomely!"

Compared to the excited Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Zhu Ying remained quite calm after hearing the battle report.

This was an outcome that Zhu Ying had anticipated.

In Zhu Ying's view, whether it was the cavalry battalion led by Lan Yu, the Imperial Guard, or the mountain battalion, these armies were all equipped with modern weapons.

In addition, they have the help of the dinosaur army!

and so.

The Ming army alone was no match for the combined forces of these three armies.

but.

Zhu Ying's biggest concern was the martial arts masters within the Ming Dynasty.

And so.

Zhu Ying then asked Liu Lei with a serious expression, "Do you have any information about martial arts masters from the Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Liu Lei did not dare to hesitate and immediately said, "Your Highness, it is rumored that Cao Zhengchun has sent people to contact martial arts masters within the Ming Dynasty!"

"In addition, there is some intelligence that the Dali Kingdom and Tibet have also sent people to the Ming Kingdom in an attempt to form an alliance with it!"

At this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly flew into a rage and exclaimed, "What! These Tibetans and Dali actually dare to oppose our Great Ming Empire! These two countries are simply courting death!"

"In that case, let's wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

Clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow any other country to oppose the Ming Empire, so when he heard that Dali and Tibet were preparing to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally furious.

However, Zhu Ying did not take these two countries seriously.

The reason is simple: Zhu Ying understood that both Tibet and Dali were relatively weak, and even if Dali and Tibet formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, it would not have any impact on the final outcome.

"Grandfather, the two countries of Tibet and Dali are not important. What I am most worried about is the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty."

"A martial arts master?" Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately showed a hint of panic.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pressed on, asking, "Xiongying, are the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty very strong?"

Zhu Ying said expressionlessly, "Although the Ming Dynasty does not have any martial arts masters at the half-step Qi Refining Realm, it still has many masters at the Grandmaster and Divine Power Realms."

"If all the martial arts masters in the Ming Dynasty were to serve the imperial court, then this would be a considerable test for our troops at the front."

Zhu Ying was well aware that, in terms of weaponry, the Ming Empire was far more powerful than the Ming Kingdom in this world.

After all, most of the weapons in the Ming Dynasty were cold weapons, while the soldiers of the Great Ming Empire were equipped with all kinds of modern weapons, and they also had a dinosaur army to call upon.

Therefore, if it were a battle between armies, the Ming Empire would naturally be invincible. But if martial arts masters were also involved, the outcome would be uncertain.

After all, there are indeed many martial arts masters within the Ming Dynasty.

If these martial arts masters were to unite, they could put considerable pressure on the Ming Dynasty's army.

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao showed a hint of tension on their faces.

Especially Old Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang, with a serious expression, asked Zhu Ying, "Since Xiong Ying is like this, what should we do?"

"We certainly don't want the Ming Empire's army to suffer too many casualties."

This was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang's true feeling. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang valued the lives of his soldiers highly, especially since these soldiers were the elite of the Ming army.

If there were too many casualties in this martial arts world, Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally feel sorry for him.

At this moment, Zhu Ying calmly said, "In that case, Xiong Ying has no choice but to go in person."

Zhu Ying knew very well that the only way to defeat this martial arts master from the Ming Dynasty was for him to personally intervene.

Upon hearing that Zhu Ying was going to personally lead the expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately exclaimed, "If Xiong Ying could personally lead the expedition, the martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty would surely be terrified."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already witnessed Zhu Ying's strength, and he was well aware that Zhu Ying had already broken through to the Gangqi Realm, making him undoubtedly the number one person in this martial arts world.

Therefore, if Zhu Ying personally led the expedition, the Ming Dynasty would naturally be powerless to resist.

Zhu Ying then added, "Of course. Since these Ming martial arts masters dare to oppose our Great Ming Empire, then Xiong Ying will teach them a lesson." Although Zhu Ying decided to personally take action and teach the Ming martial arts masters a good lesson, he also knew very well that the Ming people were essentially Han Chinese from the Central Plains.

They share the same lineage as the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Ying then said to Liu Lei, the commander of the guards, "You must immediately inform Lan Yu and the others that after capturing a city, they must not massacre the inhabitants."

"In addition, if there are any Ming soldiers who surrender, they can be taken in, but they must not be harmed."

"The target of this battle is only the Emperor of Ming, and has nothing to do with anyone else, understand?"

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Commander Liu Lei of the Wang Guard immediately replied, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will immediately send someone to inform all the generals."

Zhu Ying nodded, and the next second, he suddenly disappeared from the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were equally astonished when they saw this scene.

"I never imagined that Xiong Ying would have the ability to disappear into thin air after advancing to the Gang Qi Realm. He is truly powerful!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Biao also said, "After Xiong Ying entered the Gang Qi Realm, he was naturally no ordinary person; he was almost at the level of a half-step immortal."

"It's normal to have such ability."

……

Located in Wudang Mountain in Central China.

Song Qingshu, one of the Seven Disciples of Wudang, arrived at Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation place with a nervous tone.

However, Zhang Sanfeng is currently in seclusion and cultivating, so even Song Qingshu doesn't dare to enter the room to disturb him.

Therefore, Song Qingshu could only stand outside the room and convey important messages to Zhang Sanfeng.

"Master, something terrible has happened! According to rumors in the martial arts world, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor killed Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin Temple, and the Sweeper Monk also met a tragic end."

"Now the entire Shaolin Temple has been wiped out by this grandson of the Ming emperor."

As soon as Song Qingshu finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng, who had been in seclusion, suddenly came out of the room.

Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Song Qingshu with a grave expression, then said, "Shaolin was wiped out? How is that possible!"

"If I remember correctly, Bodhidharma was a master at the half-step Qi Refining Realm, and so was the Sweeper Monk. How could they be killed?"

Clearly, Zhang Sanfeng was extremely shocked and horrified when he heard that Bodhidharma and the Sweeper Monk had both been killed.

He never imagined that there would actually be someone in the world with such strength.

A tremendous sense of oppression suddenly descended upon them.

Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Reporting to Master, this man who claims to be the grandson of the Ming Emperor has once again led a large army to attack the Ming Kingdom."

"Now, the martial arts masters throughout the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Cao Zhengchun, are preparing to actively resist."

Should Wudang also take action?

As Song Qingshu finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly and said, "Of course. Since the grandson of the Ming emperor has wiped out the Shaolin Temple, Wudang cannot sit idly by."

"Immediately summon all Wudang disciples and rush to the Ming Dynasty to help them resist the Ming Emperor's grandson."

“If this grandson of the Ming emperor dares to show himself, then I will certainly not let him go.”

……

Zhang Sanfeng knew very well that if the Ming Empire really destroyed the Ming Kingdom, it would definitely continue to attack the Ming Kingdom's sects, and one day it would also massacre the Wudang Sect.

Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng decided to strike first.

Together with the many experts of the Ming Dynasty, they resisted the grandson of the Ming emperor.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace, many martial arts masters had already arrived, including Gu Santong, Cheng Shifei's father.

So when Gu Santong heard Cao Zhengchun call for martial arts masters from the Ming Dynasty to jointly resist the grandson of the Ming emperor, he was the first to choose to join.

Besides Gu Santong, there were also eunuchs from the previous dynasty.

This former dynasty eunuch was the creator of the Sunflower Manual, possessed extremely high martial arts skills, and was also Cao Zhengchun's predecessor.

In addition, there are Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Dongfang Bubai, Chu Liuxiang, Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong, and others.

These are all top-tier grandmasters or masters of martial arts supernatural powers.

It can be said that the quality of martial arts masters in the Ming Dynasty was in no way inferior to that in the Song Dynasty.

The group of martial arts masters gathered together to discuss the upcoming great battle.

Just then, Cao Zhengchun, along with Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, slowly approached the crowd.

Upon seeing Zhu Houzhao arrive, the group of martial arts experts naturally dared not hesitate and bowed to him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was quite excited to see so many martial arts masters gathered in the palace. He quickly said to everyone, "Rise, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As the group of martial arts masters stood up, Zhu Houzhao said excitedly, "You are all the most outstanding martial arts masters in my Ming Dynasty. With your assistance, I believe we will be able to resist foreign enemies."

"As long as you can defeat the grandson of the Ming emperor this time, I will guarantee you wealth and honor."

At this moment, Gu Santong stepped forward and said, "I don't want wealth and glory, I only want the life of this Ming Dynasty prince. Please, Your Majesty, promise me that I will personally kill this Ming Dynasty prince!"

After hearing what Gu Santong said, Zhu Houzhao burst into laughter.

This was exactly the result Zhu Houzhao had hoped for.

"That's certainly not a problem, I assure you!"

Zhu Houzhao then addressed the crowd, saying, "The fate of the Ming Dynasty rests entirely on your shoulders. I urge you all to demonstrate your exceptional abilities, for this grandson of the Ming Emperor is no ordinary person."

"Please be sure to take precautions."

As soon as the Ming emperor finished speaking, these martial arts masters accepted the order.

at the same time.

Within the Dragon Guardian Manor, Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, also learned that Cao Zhengchun had joined forces with many martial arts masters.

After hearing this, his face darkened, and he immediately sensed danger approaching.

Immediately, Zhu Wushi sent someone to relay this intelligence to the Ming Empire. (End of Chapter)
