Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Of course, there were those who resisted, but like the rebels on both the north and south sides, they were all wiped out.

Those who died were buried on the spot, while the survivors were sent to build railways, dedicating their lives to the infrastructure projects of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, it took three years for the Ming Dynasty to gain initial control over the Asian map through its advantages such as railways.

The next step is simply to cultivate civilization deeply and firmly establish Chinese culture in these territories.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and now it is the 29th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty.

After accomplishing the feat of expanding the territory, Emperor Hongwu was already considered by the people to be an emperor far surpassing Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han.

However, even the strongest person cannot escape the passage of time. Emperor Hongwu is now an elderly man nearing seventy.

Even though he is still physically robust, he is getting old and is finding it increasingly difficult to handle national affairs.

Therefore, in the 29th year of the Hongwu reign, Zhu Yuanzhang finally enfeoffed all his princes to various overseas regions.

The common people had no way of knowing exactly where those fiefdoms were located, but future generations would certainly be very familiar with them.

For example, in various continents such as South America, Europe, and Africa, the imperial court would provide the princes with sufficient resources and talent to establish themselves.

They helped the princes build cities and establish kingdoms; as for their subsequent development, that was a matter of individual ability.

In November of the same year, at the end of the year, Zhu Yuanzhang once again announced to the world that he would pass the throne to his crown prince Zhu Biao, with the reign title Yongsheng.

The time was set for the beginning of spring in the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, which was also the first year of Yongsheng's reign!

The first thing Emperor Yongsheng Zhu Biao did after ascending the throne was to announce the bestowal of the title of Duke of Zhenguo, which was then elevated to the rank of King, and he was named King of Daming Zhenguo.

Despite his strong resistance, King Wei Wu of Zhen resisted in every way, but ultimately failed to persuade Emperor Yongsheng and had no choice but to accept the bestowal of the title of king.

Yongsheng for one year.

In late November, news came from the sea that dozens of ships were sailing from the distant ocean, and their intentions were not friendly.

With an imperial edict issued by Emperor Yongsheng, the ironclad warships of the Ming Dynasty, which had never been publicly displayed before, revealed their ferocious side for the first time.

Three ironclad warships sailed out of the port and swept away dozens of enemy ships with invincible force, destroying and sinking them all into the sea.

In February of the second year of the Yongsheng reign, Emperor Yongsheng issued an edict stating that it would be impolite not to reciprocate, and thirty ironclad warships set sail.

Because of the vastness of the sea, even with powerful ironclad warships, it took a full year for them to return in triumph.

No one knows the outcome of this campaign, but from that day on, no warship dared to enter the waters of the Ming Dynasty.

Another point that must be emphasized is that the sea area that the Ming Dynasty set for itself was the same area that Cao Cao had originally set.

As for why no ships dared to enter the Ming Dynasty's waters, it was because the Ming Dynasty had already achieved actual control over these waters.

All of this is thanks to that 'star' that shot straight into the sky on the outskirts of the capital on a certain day in the fourth year of Yongsheng!

Of course, it's impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have the ability to launch satellites in just over ten years.

Wei Wu obtained this satellite from the system. At first, he was a little worried because he thought it was useless even if he got it.

A satellite that can't go into space is no different from scrap metal. Fortunately, it has a system, and the system possesses immeasurable power.

According to the system's instructions, Wei Wu only needed to retrieve the satellite, and he wouldn't need to worry about the launch.

Thus, the Ming Dynasty possessed the world's first and only satellite, which was also a multi-functional satellite.

In addition to communication, it can also observe the earth, with a resolution so high that it can even see a person's face clearly.

The key is the ground-based satellite signal receiving center, which is completely user-friendly and easy to use.
