Chapter 579 Completes the First Unification
In the following period, Mu Ying, as the commander of the cavalry battalion, began to lead a massive army of 200,000 men on a grand march toward the capital of the Dali Kingdom.
It must be said that the Ming Dynasty's army was incredibly powerful. In less than a day, the capital of the Dali Kingdom was captured, and the Dali royal palace was thrown into complete chaos.
Emperor Duan Zhengming of the Dali Kingdom was silently reciting scriptures in his palace.
At this moment, his younger brother Duan Zhengchun barged in and said urgently to Duan Zhengming, "Your Majesty, Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple, as well as the four eminent monks, have all been killed by this grandson of the Ming Emperor."
"Now, the entire capital has been captured by the army of the Ming Empire. It will probably not be long before the army of the Ming Empire storms into the palace."
To be honest, at this moment, Duan Zhengchun was also facing despair.
Especially after he saw that Master Kurong and the four eminent monks had also been killed by Zhu Ying, he understood that in this world, no one could do anything to Zhu Ying anymore.
Therefore, Duan Zhengchun understood that his desire for revenge was simply impossible to achieve.
However, as soon as Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, Duan Zhengming, the emperor of Dali, resolutely took off his imperial robes.
At this moment, Duan Zhengming's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He slowly said to Duan Zhengchun, "Things have come to this point, it seems I have no choice but to take action."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun quickly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, I know you are a top martial arts master, but this grandson of the Ming Emperor is extremely powerful. Even Master Kurong is no match for him."
"Even if you were to come out of seclusion, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to kill this grandson of the Ming emperor."
To be honest, Duan Zhengchun did not want to see his elder brother killed by the grandson of the Ming emperor.
Therefore, Duan Zhengchun's first thought was to dissuade Duan Zhengming from acting impulsively.
However, Duan Zhengming had already made up his mind at this moment!
He knew very well that as the emperor of Dali, if he dared not fight this grandson of the Ming emperor, he would be ridiculed by the world!
Therefore, Duan Zhengming directly took off his imperial robes and decided to fight to the death with this grandson of the Ming emperor!
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! If you were to fight this grandson of the Ming Emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if you weren't killed by him, you would be severely injured!"
"Things have come to this point, the only option left is to surrender!"
Duan Zhengchun tried his best to dissuade him.
Back when the army of the Ming Empire was about to arrive, Emperor Duan Zhengming of the Dali Kingdom actually wanted to surrender.
However, Duan Zhengchun disagreed at the time and even wanted to unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against Zhu Ying in order to avenge the killing of his son.
However, Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun's mentality has now undergone a complete transformation.
Duan Zhengchun knew that the outcome was already decided. With the many martial arts masters of Tianlong Temple killed by Zhu Ying, Dali Kingdom had no chance to turn the tide.
Therefore, Duan Zhengchun naturally wanted to pledge allegiance to the Ming Empire to reduce unnecessary sacrifices.
To his utter surprise, his elder brother Duan Zhengming rejected the proposal.
Suddenly.
Duan Zhengming disappeared from Duan Zhengchun's sight.
Moments later, the emperor of Dali appeared outside the palace and began fighting against the army of the Ming Empire.
"Six Meridian Divine Sword!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Duan Zhengming was seen frantically unleashing the Six Meridians Divine Sword. To be fair, Duan Zhengming did possess considerable skill.
For a time, he successfully wounded many soldiers of the Ming Empire, but this situation did not last long.
After a while.
Zhu Ying then appeared before Duan Zhengming.
To be honest, Zhu Ying's expression was somewhat surprised after seeing this statement.
"Are you the emperor of the Dali Kingdom?" Zhu Ying asked. Duan Zhengming replied immediately, "Indeed!"
"My Dali Kingdom and this Ming Empire have always kept to themselves and never interfered with each other. Why are you treating my Dali Kingdom like this?"
Faced with Duan Zhengming's questioning, Zhu Ying burst into laughter.
The reason is simple: in his view, Duan Zhengming's question was quite naive.
Why am I doing this to you, Dali? Let me tell you, it's because the Ming Empire wants to unify the world.
Now I'm giving you one last chance. If you surrender to me, I will naturally spare your life and will not attack the capital of Dali Kingdom again.
You make the choice.
As Zhu Ying finished speaking, Duan Zhengming did not hesitate at all.
In the blink of an eye, he forcibly activated his martial arts domain.
To be honest, Duan Zhengming is only a top-tier expert; he is still some distance from the Divine Power Realm.
But at this moment.
In order to defeat Zhu Ying, Duan Zhengming was going all out.
He forcibly released all the true energy in his body, and in an instant, this powerful true energy transformed into a domain, completely enveloping Zhu Ying in the void.
Zhu Ying's face remained full of disdain after seeing this.
After all, Zhu Ying was a master of the Qi Refining Realm at that time, and Duan Zhengming currently does not have the ability to communicate with Zhu Ying.
That's it?
Zhu Ying snorted and then unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
It must be said that the power of Zhu Ying's Six Meridian Divine Sword was far greater than that of the Duan family's masters.
In an instant, six beams of golden energy pierced directly towards Duan Zhengming.
Since this was Duan Zhengming's first time fighting Zhu Ying, when he saw that Zhu Ying had also used the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the latter was stunned.
He didn't react at all.
And so.
These six beams of golden energy pierced directly towards the Dali emperor.
"what!"
With a scream that echoed through the sky, Duan Zhengming felt as if his internal organs had been pierced through.
In an instant, the martial arts domain that Duan Zhengming had painstakingly built collapsed.
Immediately, Duan Zhengming fell directly from the void.
"I gave you a choice, but unfortunately, you made the wrong one."
Zhu Ying said in an almost unquestionable tone.
Even though Duan Zhengming was seriously injured, he did not give up.
Then he slowly stood up from the ground.
Then, using up his last bit of true energy, he unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
And in this void, Zhu Ying didn't even try to dodge.
The sword energy of the Six Meridians Divine Sword flew rapidly toward Zhu Ying, but just as it was about to pierce Zhu Ying's body, the sword energy of the Six Meridians Divine Sword vanished instantly.
This is the strength of a martial arts expert at the Qi Refining Realm.
To be honest, Zhu Ying didn't even have the intention to make a move, but despite this, Duan Zhengming's Six Meridian Divine Sword still couldn't harm Zhu Ying in the slightest.
"go to hell."
As soon as Zhu Ying uttered those three words, another invisible burst of energy shot directly towards Duan Zhengming's chest.
boom!
With a loud bang, the emperor of the Dali Kingdom perished.
At this moment, Duan Zhengchun also rushed towards Zhu Ying like a madman, seemingly wanting to avenge his brother. Unfortunately, Duan Zhengchun's martial arts skills were far inferior to Duan Zhengming's, so he was naturally no match for Zhu Ying.
Therefore, when Duan Zhengchun charged violently toward Zhu Ying, his body was instantly engulfed by the aura emanating from Zhu Ying.
And so, the Dali royal family was completely wiped out.
In the following period, Mu Ying led his 20-strong mountain battalion army to carry out a frenzied massacre in Dali.
In less than an hour, the capital of the Dali Kingdom was turned into a sea of blood.
At the same time, Mu Ying rushed to Zhu Ying with excitement and reported: "Your Highness, the entire Dali Kingdom has been wiped out."
"Now the Dali Kingdom has been incorporated into the territory of our Great Ming Empire."
After hearing what Mu Ying said, Zhu Ying nodded silently.
He then issued new instructions.
"From this moment on, rebuild the Dali Kingdom!"
"Now that the Dali Kingdom is part of the territory of our Great Ming Empire, we should naturally ensure that the people of the Dali Kingdom live a good life."
"Immediately begin infrastructure construction and livelihood security work, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate!"
As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Mu Ying quickly responded in kind.
To be fair, although Zhu Ying was ruthless and a master of the Qi Refining Realm, he was still quite kind to ordinary people.
After conquering any territory, Zhu Ying would rebuild it, and he would carry out modernization.
This is actually a great blessing for the local people.
half a month later.
The entire world has been occupied by the Ming Empire.
At the same time, Zhu Ying also issued an order to establish various prefectures.
The former Tubo Kingdom was called Tubo Prefecture, while the Mongol Yuan Dynasty changed it to Mongol Yuan Prefecture. The Dali Kingdom was naturally called Dali Prefecture.
On this day, within the capital city of Mingzhou.
Above the main hall of the imperial palace.
All the civil and military officials of the Zongwu world have arrived.
And in this grand hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying sat there.
Zhu Ying was the first to address the crowd, saying, "It has been a full year since the Ming Empire entered this world of martial arts."
"And within this year, none of the officials have disappointed my expectations."
"The world is now unified, and this is all thanks to you all."
As Zhu Ying finished speaking, Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was the first to step forward.
Guo Zhen respectfully addressed Zhu Ying, saying, "Your Highness, I believe that the reason why our Great Ming Empire was able to achieve unification in just one year is..."
"The greatest credit naturally goes to His Highness the Imperial Grandson."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince had not single-handedly killed so many martial arts masters, our Great Ming Empire would never have been able to achieve unification in such a short time."
Just as Guo Zhen expressed his thoughts.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was equally generous in his praise of Zhu Ying.
“We think Guo Zhen is right. If it weren’t for Xiong Ying, it would be no easy task for our Great Ming Empire to unify the world of martial arts.”
"Xiong Ying, you are the most meritorious person in our Great Ming Empire."
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, Zhu Ying smiled slightly and said, "Grandfather, you flatter me. As the grandson of the Emperor of the Great Ming Empire, Xiong Ying naturally has to contribute his efforts."
"This is simply U.A.'s job."
At this moment, Zhu Biao pressed Zhu Ying for an answer: "Xiong Ying, now that this martial arts world has been unified, shouldn't we return to the main world?"
"It's been a year since I've been back, and I wonder how well Wenxi has managed this main realm."
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, "Wenxi is a naturally intelligent child, and he is very proficient in handling state affairs."
"We believe that with Wenxi in charge of the main realm, there will naturally be no problems."
"So, Biao'er, don't worry. Stay with us in this martial arts world a little longer."
"It won't be long before our cultivation level breaks through to the Divine Power Realm."
Clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang did not seem to want to leave this world of martial arts so soon.
After all, there is a large amount of spiritual energy in this martial arts world.
Zhu Yuanzhang is now only one step away from reaching the Divine Power Realm, so naturally he doesn't want to leave too soon.
After hearing what Old Zhu said, Zhu Biao also felt that there was some truth to it.
“Father is right. Although the world of martial arts has been unified, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.”
"Moreover, a lot of reconstruction work needs to be done, so there is no rush to return to the main world."
At this moment, Zhu Ying nodded and said calmly, "Yes, although this martial arts world has been unified, there are still many places that have not yet completed modernization."
"And there are only a few railway lines."
"Therefore, it will take some time before we can return to the main world."
"Moreover, my grandfather and father can also take advantage of these days to intensify their cultivation."
Then, Zhu Ying continued to address the civil and military officials before him: "From now on, the primary task of the Ming Empire is naturally reconstruction."
"We must ensure that the people of this martial arts world can also live a good life, and that they will be loyal to the Ming Empire."
"Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty prosper."
As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, all the civil and military officials responded in unison.
They all shouted "Long live!"
……
Meanwhile, in the Central Plains region...
Dugu Qiubai, who had been in seclusion for a long time, slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, his eyes were filled with a sharp edge.
As a master at the half-step Gangqi realm, Dugu Qiubai was in seclusion for cultivation, but ultimately ended in failure.
He sighed helplessly and said, "So, in the end, I still can't break through to the Qi Refining Realm?"
But right after he finished speaking, Dugu Qiubai suddenly felt a powerful aura appear.
"how is this possible?"
"There are actually experts at the Qi Refining Realm in this world."
Clearly, Dugu Qiubai immediately noticed Zhu Ying's presence.
At the same time, disbelief was on his face.
after that.
The invincible man then came to the home of this commoner and inquired about recent events.
When he heard that the world had been unified, he was stunned once again. (End of Chapter)
