After Zhu Cihuan ascended the throne, the following year was regarded as the first year of Jingping.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingping, Zhu Cihuan appointed King Wu Lie Ding Yunyi as his regent, taking charge of the world's military and political affairs. He also worshiped him as the general marshal of the world's military and horses, and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

A new history of Ming Dynasty begins

This is the Ming Dynasty that is responsible for rebirth

Ding Yunyi immediately formed a cabinet, with Qin Yun as his secondary assistant. He also vigorously reformed the Ming Dynasty's official system, setting up ministers of defense, army, navy, education, finance, foreign affairs, etc.

The emperor will eventually become the spiritual leader of the country, and the real authority that maintains the core of the country's operations will be the cabinet.

On the first day of February, Ding Yunyi changed the first assistant of the cabinet to the prime minister, and established a parliament, divided into the upper house and the lower house. The members of the upper house are composed of knights and judges, and have the power to reject bills passed by the lower house. The lower house enjoys legislative and supervisory powers.

fu, the power to supervise finance and other matters.

Such reforms began to be implemented in the Ming Dynasty.

This is the best era, this is the best time.

The mighty king Ding Yunyi swept across the world with hundreds of thousands of troops and restored the Ming Dynasty. His personal prestige has reached its peak. In the eyes of most people, he is the God of the Ming Dynasty. Although there is resistance to the reforms he proposed, with the help of his

Given his huge personal prestige, such resistance was minimal and was soon drowned out by the calls for support.

The status and power of the emperor is weakening step by step, and the emperor will eventually rule without rule. He will only be a symbol of the highest power, enjoying only ceremonial responsibilities, including the right to consult, encourage, and advise.

This is the so-called national spiritual leader

On the sixth day of February, the regent Ding Yunyi announced that he would cancel the title of Tiger Guards, transfer 30,000 Tiger Guards, and rename them the "Royal Guards". The whole team would be reorganized and collectively known as the "Emperor". The general rank would be restored, divided into six levels and twenty-four levels.

Among them, there are three generals of the army and three generals of the navy. The founders of the Major Swede Regiment, Shi Weide and Mansoura, are the commanders-in-chief of the Imperial Foreign Legion. Shi Weide was awarded General Zhenwei and Mansoura was awarded General Zhenwu.

The Pirate Alliance was also reorganized and collectively known as the "Imperial Expeditionary Fleet". It was unified and controlled by the Imperial Navy General Ye Dahai.

In June of the first year of Jingping, King Wulie Ding Yunyi summoned the imperial fleet and announced a great adventure and exploration around the world. The first batch of thirty-six fleets was dispatched.

August. The new thirty-eight fleets were dispatched again.

Their goal is the vast sea, the distant West, and those places that have been explored or never explored before.

The Great Navigation Age of the Ming Empire began

In September, the Ming Empire solemnly notified the Fo Langji people who had taken up residence in Macau, ordering them to leave Macau immediately within two months. The Fo Langji people refused this request.

In December, the Ming Empire, with Cai Jiuzhou as the commander-in-chief and Xiao Yifeng as the infantry commander, raised 30,000 troops and troops to attack Macau.

The Battle of Macao lasted for three months. In March of the second year of Jingping, the Portuguese Governor of Macao, Lang Chilie, announced his surrender and Macao was re-incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Prior to this, in October of the first year of Jingping, the 27th Expeditionary Fleet commanded by the Golden Winged Eagle arrived at Diu in the Mughal Empire and requested supplies, but was rejected by the Diu Flangji people. The Golden Winged Eagle bombarded

The Diu-Flan robots quickly counterattacked.

The "Battle of Diu" breaks out

Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan declared neutrality.

In Diu, the 27th Expeditionary Fleet and the Fo Lang robots bombarded the area for three days. As supplies were about to be cut off, the Golden-winged Eagle temporarily retreated.

The first "Battle of Diu" was won by the Francois.

Only twenty days later, the Golden-winged Eagle, supported by the 26th and 28th Expeditionary Fleets, was involved again. The three fleets launched a frantic bombardment of Diu.

This bombardment put heavy pressure on the Francois in Diu.

On the eighth day of the bombardment, the Folangji people requested negotiations. Since the expedition fleet did not have the absolute strength to seize Diu at that time, the Golden-winged Eagle agreed to the negotiations.

The final result of the negotiation was a settlement with the Francons paying 30,000 gold coins.

The second "Battle of Diu" ended.

In the second year of Jingping, as the Ming Empire began to regain Macau, the Ming Empire declared a state of war with the Folangji Kingdom. The imperial expedition fleet launched another attack on Diu.

The third "Battle of Diu" breaks out

This time the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was fully prepared, and a total of six fleets joined the attack. The Francons once again requested negotiations, but were rejected by the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet.

This time the pressure on Diu was much more fierce than in the previous two "Battles of Diu". A large number of artillery shells roared towards Diu, causing the Francois to suffer heavy casualties.

This bombardment lasted for ten days. In order to achieve victory, the expedition fleet was at full power.

The Folangji people could not stand it any longer. The local commander of the Folangji army, Odavin, was forced to declare his surrender. The expedition fleet occupied Diu and at the same time declared Diu a colony of the Ming Empire.

A new colony of the Ming Empire was born.

Shah Jahan, the ruler of the Mughal Dynasty, soon felt the strong pressure from the Ming Empire. After conspiring with the Folangji and Ganlasi people, the Mughal Empire sent 170,000 troops.

Three thousand troops were sent out, and Gan Lasi sent out seven thousand troops, for a total of 180,000 troops to advance towards Diu.

The outbreak of war

At this time, the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force in Diu only had more than 30,000 people. However, with the powerful artillery power, the expeditionary force firmly defended Diu and inflicted heavy losses on the coalition forces.

In June, a large number of reinforcements from the Ming Empire arrived, and the counterattack began

The Folangji and Ganrasi people did not care about the casualties of the Mughals. When they saw the enemy's arrival in large numbers, they quickly began to withdraw from the battlefield.

Mughals were betrayed

Although the Mughals had a seemingly extremely powerful army, in front of the Ming army, which was almost entirely armed with firearms, this army using cold weapons was simply vulnerable.

On June 20th, the two sides launched a decisive battle in Ciwo, known in history as the "Battle of Ciwo".

In this campaign, the Ming army invested 60,000 troops and the Mughal army invested 150,000 troops.

But the war is no longer decided by the strength of both sides. The Ming army has an absolute advantage in firearms, and their firearms are simply the most terrifying nightmare for the Mughal army.

The decisive battle of Ciwo continued in the afternoon, and the entire left wing of the Mughal army collapsed. The Ming army quickly organized its forces and launched a breakthrough at Zhongyang. The Mughal army was about to be defeated.

At this time, out of consideration for their own safety, the Folangji and Ganrasi people who had abandoned the Mughal army once again entered the war and barely stabilized the situation.

On June 21st, the Ming army reorganized their attack.

This was a decisive day. The Ming army adopted the strategy of attacking the Folangji people first. In the previous war, the Folangji people had been reduced to more than 2,000 people. The Ming army used 50,000 people to contain the Mughal army.

Together with the Ganrasi people, they launched an all-out attack on the Folangji people with an absolute advantage of 10,000 people.

Fo Langji's army was defeated and commander Dadavie was killed in battle.

After defeating the Folangji people, the Ming army repeated its old tricks and once again concentrated its superior forces to attack the Ganrasi people.

Such an attack was difficult to resist. Although the Ganrasi people fought hard, they were unable to stop them in the face of the Ming army's powerful firearms, superior troops, and overwhelming morale.

At noon, Ganrasi commander Ishdala announced his surrender, and the Ganrasi army was defeated.

Now, only the Mughal army is left

Now that the war has progressed to this point, there is actually not much suspense anymore, and the balance of victory has completely tilted towards the Ming army.

The 150,000-strong Mughal army was unable to resist the Ming army's repeated attacks. In the afternoon, the Mughal army's central army suffered the heaviest losses since the war began.

Babak, the commander-in-chief of the Mughal army, felt helpless.

While organizing the last defensive operation, a cannonball exploded next to Babak, and the Mughal emperor's trusted general died tragically on the battlefield.

The Mughal army was defeated across the board, and the "Second War" ended.

After a short rest, the Ming army received 20,000 domestic reinforcements and a large amount of supplies, and launched a powerful offensive against the Mughal Empire again.

The Ming Empire has made up its mind to completely destroy the Mughal Empire and turn it into the largest colony of the Ming Empire

At that time, the Mughal Empire had reached its peak period after their emperor Shah Jahan ascended the throne. Unfortunately, they encountered a more terrifying opponent at this time:

Ming Empire

This is a difficult opponent to defeat

They were all armed with muskets and artillery, and their muskets and artillery were far ahead of this era. Although the Mughal Empire also purchased some weapons from the Taishi, they could not compete with the Ming Dynasty in terms of quantity or quality.

The military is comparable.

Facing the rapid advance of the Ming army, the Mughal Empire's army suffered defeats again and again. They were unable to stop the powerful Ming army.

This was a completely hopeless war, and in order to prevent the collapse of his kingdom, Shah Jahan mobilized almost all the forces that could be mobilized.

He must do everything possible to stop the Ming army's advance. He must do everything possible to prevent the destruction of his kingdom.

But this task seems so difficult to achieve.

While advancing rapidly, the Ming army adopted a method they were very good at before: buying off the nobles in the areas ruled by the Mughals and letting them serve the Ming Empire.

Under the threat of force and the temptation of money, a large number of Mughals chose to cooperate with the Ming Empire. They had to keep their property, and they had to increase their property several times.

As for the survival of the Mughal Empire? It doesn’t seem to have much to do with them.

In September of the second year of Jingping, the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan organized a huge army, with a total of thirty-five people, and set up a decisive battle with the Ming army in Quhan City.

At the same time, they also received assistance from the Folangji and Ganrasi people.

The situation at that time was that the left wing of Quhan City was commanded by Chajak, with 100,000 people, the right wing was with 100,000 people commanded by Nading Lang, and the central army was commanded by Bamen Baha, with 150,000 people.

It was a battle, but the Ming army still only invested 60,000 people.

Sixty thousand versus 350,000. No matter from which angle you look at this battle, the Ming Army's chances of winning are very small, except for the Ming Army generals who don't think so.

The Ming army was commanded by Li Dingguo, an outstanding general of the Ming Empire.

While this young commander was preparing for a decisive battle outside Quhan City, he also sent a large number of Mughal spies into Quhan City to collect intelligence.

Intelligence continued to flow into the hands of Li Dingguo, and this young and resourceful commander quickly made the most accurate judgment on the battlefield situation.

Although on the surface it seemed that the Mughals had the upper hand, their core command system was actually very disunified.
