The corners of Ma Yuanyi's mouth twitched and he waved his hands repeatedly.
One more strike and he will definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest.
"How do you feel?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile.
The golden light on Ma Yuanyi's body gradually faded. He recalled the burning impact when the bullet was shot on him, and asked with a grin: "Can ordinary people use this thing?"
"Of course!"
"Even a child over ten years old can easily master it after training." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
"In this case, if the opponent is a well-trained mortal holding a firearm, it will not pose a threat to me at all."
"If there were ten people, I might lose a little strength, but it would still be easy to kill them."
"If it's a hundred...!"
"Then even if I can kill them all, I'm afraid I will still be seriously injured, and may even die."
"If the number of people doubles again, I will definitely die!" Ma Yuanyi said solemnly.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, how many such firearms did the Ming Dynasty have, and how many soldiers were capable of fighting?" Zhang Bao asked curiously.
He was very interested in the combat effectiveness of the Ming Empire in this aspect.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid you won't understand the technical terminology I used. Let's put it this way. If the Ming Dynasty was invaded today or if there was a need for war, it would be able to organize and mobilize more than five people within three days.
Millions of these ordinary soldiers armed with guns."
"The number of soldiers can double again in a month."
"By the way, I would also like to remind you that this kind of firearm is actually the least lethal weapon in our Ming army. There are more powerful and more lethal weapons in the army."
"This...!" Everyone couldn't help but fall into shock again after hearing this.
They had no doubt about the authenticity of Zhu Biao's words. From Nanjing to Beijing within a radius of five thousand miles, they had seen with their own eyes the hugeness of the Ming Empire.
The resources and manpower that such a unified country can mobilize are quite terrifying.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, if our Lord wants us to come to the Ming Dynasty, is he trying to tell us that he is going to bring down the entire world we live in?" Zhang Jiao, who had been following silently aside, suddenly spoke.
"That's right!"
Zhu Biao nodded directly without hesitation.
He and Zhu Yuanzhang have now reached a consensus that this World Tree game is a game with no retreat. What they have to do is to integrate all the powers of other worlds that have opened fixed portals like the Jiajing plane. Only in this way can they be able to transcend the world.
Survive in increasingly cruel game environments.
Since the space passages in the Three Kingdoms plane are fixed, it means that it is possible to conquer there and then completely turn it into a sub-plane of the Ming Dynasty.
In this case, all unstable factors in the Three Kingdoms plane must be completely eliminated.
Otherwise, relying on the strong personal combat power of the Three Kingdoms plane, it is necessary to contain the large number of troops and attention of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the strong people there know the location of the space passage, there is a possibility that the people there will hit the Ming Dynasty.
You must know that this side of the Space Gate is Nanjing City. If a strong man like Lu Bu were to attack Nanjing City, the consequences would definitely be disastrous.
Seeing that Zhang Jiao and others fell silent after hearing this, Zhu Biao knew that they must be feeling a little awkward.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is a different world. Being ruled by a different world, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable in your heart.
The Three Kingdoms is not the Jiajing plane. It is the Ming Dynasty. It can easily accept the rule of another Ming Dynasty. In addition, the ruler is still the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is no longer a problem.
The Three Kingdoms plane is different.
People there have never heard of who Zhu Yuanzhang is.
This is because the Ming Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms are in the same plane and have the same culture and species. They are both Han dynasties. If they were truly alien races, then Zhang Jiao and others would probably be desperate right now.
"What's wrong with that?"
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhang Jiao and others one by one, and said with a smile: "Can't you see what your world is like now?"
"Famine is everywhere, and countless people die of cold and hunger every day."
"In addition, the rule of the Han Dynasty has come to an end, and the world is in chaos. With the military disaster and the disaster, I don't know how many people will lose their lives in vain!"
"If that world joins the Ming Empire, I dare not say anything else, but starvation will never happen again in the future."
"You have also seen the lives of the people at the lowest level in our world. I believe I don't need to say anything more."
"Furthermore, we are all Chinese, with the same roots and origins, so we can't be considered aliens, don't you think?" Zhu Biao said.
When conquering other worlds, especially those where there is no Ming Dynasty, legitimacy is a very important issue.
If this problem cannot be solved, it is very likely that everyone in the Three Kingdoms will face the same hatred. If it really turns into that situation, even if it can win, it will probably suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty must be recognized by a certain class in that world, so that it can completely take root there.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has climbed up from the bottom, naturally understands this truth, and his choice has never changed. He has always wanted to represent the interests of the bottom class of people. This is why they came into contact with the Yellow Turban Army as soon as they entered that world. s reason.
Although it was a bit surprising to see Zhang Jiao as soon as he entered that world, Zhu Yuanzhang's plan was to join the Yellow Turban Army first even if he could not see Zhang Jiao.
Now it's just because of Zhang Jiao that this plan has been slightly advanced.
Today, eight people, including Zhang Jiao, were brought to Ming Dynasty for the final showdown.
In the words of Zhu Yuanzhang, it is to make them understand who and what they are working for.
To be honest, Zhang Jiao and others were indeed touched by Zhu Biao's words.
Why were they able to organize an uprising of more than 300,000 people?
It's because ordinary people can no longer survive in the Han Dynasty.
And now the arrival of the Ming Dynasty can indeed bring the most important problem of food and clothing to all the people at the lowest level.
As long as you can have a full stomach, what does it matter if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty in another world?
As Zhu Biao said, they had the same culture and race as the Ming people. Zhang Jiao and others were not that strong in their resistance to the Ming Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness, we are all rough people, and we don't speak secretly!"
"We would like to know if we join the Ming Dynasty, will His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be able to treat the Han people the same as the Ming people?"
"Including us generals, can we be fair and just?" After a moment of silence, Zhang Bao asked all the questions that Commander Qu was most concerned about at the moment.
"I can swear to this!"
"As long as you become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, everyone will be treated equally." Zhu Biao thought in his heart and made an oath directly to the Jiuding of Zhenguo.
His oath was witnessed by the Zhenguo Jiuding, and he directly experienced the Zhenguo's national destiny in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Jiao, who has studied this deeply, was aware of it the moment Zhu Biao took the oath, and sensed a slight change in the fate of the country in this world.
A smile appeared on his face,
Compared with the intrigues between mortals, it is actually easier for extraordinary people to witness each other's sincerity. After all, they are bound by extraordinary power.
No one dares to tell lies in front of a country's national destiny.
Now that the last worry has been guaranteed by Zhu Biao, no one has any objections.
The eight people looked at each other and bowed to Zhu Biao again.
"The last general will open his horn."
"The last general Zhang Bao."
"The last generals Zhang Liang, Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, Guan Hai, and Guan Cheng pay their respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"We are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty."
This time of worship is different from before. It means surrender and complete surrender.
As the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, they had dared to rebel before and obviously had no feelings for the Han Dynasty. Now that they have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, which has strong soldiers and horses, and with Zhu Biao's guarantee and psychological counseling, they naturally no longer have any psychological burden.
.
At this moment, if the eight people in front of them all have a loyalty list, then the loyalty of the eight people at this moment must have been greatly improved.
Unfortunately, except for Zhang Jiao, they all have single talents, so their loyalty is not shown.
As for Zhang Jiao, his loyalty level has been raised to 80 points.
This kind of loyalty is already quite high.
"Generals, please get up quickly!" Zhu Biao helped Zhang Jiao and others up one by one with a smile on his face, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
It's like chasing a girl. It was just foreplay before. Today, there was a formal showdown, and there were eight direct showdowns, all of which were successful. This is indeed something worth bragging about.
"It's getting late, how about we stay here tonight?"
"Generals, please have a good rest in the building tonight. There will be more important programs for you generals to participate in tomorrow." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Although everyone was very confused about what Zhu Biao called the important program, they were indeed a little agitated at the moment and needed to be alone to calm down, so they all left and went to rest in the building boat.
The next day, when Zhang Jiao and others walked out of their respective rooms and saw the scene outside, they were stunned.
They were floating above a battlefield at the moment, and two armies were fighting fiercely below.
"Your Highness, what is going on?" Zhang Jiao asked confused.
As far as he knew, there was no war in the Ming Dynasty.
"This is a drill!"
"Because the equipment of the Ming Dynasty's new army is updated very quickly, and we basically have no wars, in order to study the performance of new equipment and maintain the competitiveness and vitality of the army, a considerable number of military exercises are held every year.
"In order for you to understand the combat power of the Ming Dynasty's new army as soon as possible, I brought you to this battlefield where the exercises are being carried out. You can feel how the Ming Dynasty fights." Zhu Biao introduced with a smile.
Zhang Jiao and others nodded and followed Zhu Biao's gaze downwards.
There is an artillery battle going on below at the moment.
The positions of both sides were three or four miles apart, and no one could even see them, but the artillery shells were constantly bombarding each other's positions.
On the ground, tank corps from both sides were stuck together, shooting and colliding with each other.
It seemed that the two sides were fighting fiercely, but what made Zhang Jiao and others feel strange was that not a single ordinary soldier could be seen on the entire battlefield.
This simply subverted their understanding of war.
"Boom...!" Suddenly, in the distant southeastern sky, a dazzling beam of light appeared high in the sky and shot towards this side.
"What is that?" Zhang Jiao asked with a flash of shock in his eyes.
"missile!"
Zhu Biao smiled and introduced: "A weapon of mass destruction that can carry out long-distance strikes."
Just as Zhu Biao was introducing it, the missile had already hit the target, an inconspicuous jungle more than two hundred miles away.
With a thought in his mind, Zhu Biao quickly drove the flying boat close to it.
The place is in a mess at the moment, and a group of people are sitting on the ground with frustrated faces.
"This should be the location of the headquarters of the Third Army Corps."
"It seems that this time the First Army will win."
"They discovered the location of the enemy's headquarters. This missile was used to carry out decapitation operations and destroy the enemy's headquarters."
"Don't look at the fact that this missile is not very powerful now, mainly because this is a drill. If it is serious, there will be no grass growing within a radius of five miles from the missile's impact point." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
"I seem to have seen the Heavenly Fire that Huangfu Song used a few months ago."
"No, this is more lethal than those sky fires." Zhang Jiao's voice seemed to be trembling. Ming's combat power was really beyond his imagination.
If such a fighting force were to use all its strength to attack the Han Dynasty, it would not only be devastating, but the Ming Dynasty would definitely be victorious in the end.
Because in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
"No, you are wrong!"
Two hours later, I returned to Nanjing City and saw Zhu Yuanzhang in Fengtian Hall. After Zhang Jiao expressed his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
"You may not believe it, but we know the current Han Empire better than you!"
"The combat power of that world is only the tip of the iceberg. There are more powerful ones who are dormant or have not yet grown up!"
"If a full-scale war between the two worlds is rashly launched, based on the reality that the aristocratic families now control the place, it will undoubtedly push those powerful people to oppose the Ming Dynasty, which will allow them to grow rapidly in the war, which will in turn bring trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
"
"Just like the entire Han Dynasty was encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban uprising before."
"This is not what we want to see!"
"If possible, we are still willing to take it slowly and conquer the Han Empire bit by bit in a subtle and silent way, so that all the civil servants and generals who will shine in history in the future can be used by our Ming Dynasty."
"And this requires your help!" Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.
"Your Majesty, just give me your orders!" Zhang Jiao and others hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Now his mentality has undergone a huge change.
After knowing that the Ming Dynasty was a great empire in another world, and that this great empire was extremely powerful, with so many powerful people in the empire.
Everyone, including Zhang Jiao, could not help but feel a sense of crisis deep in their hearts at this moment.
They knew very well that in the Ming Dynasty, they were not the only force under Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were not as important as they had imagined before.
Now that we have decided to join the Ming Dynasty, we naturally don’t have so many worries and hesitations.
Being favored by Zhu Yuanzhang now means that they have the opportunity to make contributions, and it is too late for them to be happy about it!
Even at this moment, Zhang Jiao and others felt a sense of ambition that they had never had before. In such a large empire, they might have more opportunities in the future, and maybe a broader future.
