At the same time, the Ming army that conquered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also followed the ancient Fanni Road and invaded Gorkha and Tianzhu in South Asia.

 Historically, this ancient road was also known as the "Tang-Tibo Ancient Road", "Silk Musk Road", and "Sichuan-Kangxi Ancient Tea Road". The monks and envoys of the Tang Dynasty entered Tianzhu through this ancient road.

 In the fifteenth century, Tianzhu was ruled by the Delhi Sultanate and a large number of princely states. The Delhi Sultanate mainly controlled the northern region of Tianzhu, while most of the southern region was controlled by feudal states, without a unified political power.

Xiang Nan also knows that the climate in South Asia is warm and humid, which is different from the climate in the Central Plains. There are a lot of poisonous insects and miasma, which can easily kill people. Therefore, he did not let the Ming army go deep, and that was all he had to do was conquer the Delhi Sultanate.

 …

In the winter of the 21st year of Tianshun, after the Western Route Ming Army captured France, they took ships to attack England across the sea.

At this time, the United Kingdom still only had England. Although in 1298, King Edward I of the Kingdom of England almost annexed Scotland and took actual control over it. However, the Kingdom of Scotland has always insisted on resisting and has a distant relationship with the Kingdom of England.

As for the Principality of Wales, it was also captured by Edward I in 1284, but it was not until 1536 that the two countries were officially merged.

 Before this, the United Kingdom only had direct or indirect control over Scotland and Wales. It had a similar relationship with the chieftains of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, so its strength was not very strong.

What’s more, both Britain and France went through the Hundred Years’ War, and both sides were the losers, suffering heavy losses. What's even more unfortunate is that after the Hundred Years' War, the War of the Roses broke out in England soon.

This was an intermittent civil war between supporters of the two descendants of Edward III: the House of Lancaster and the House of York, fighting for the throne of England. From 1455 to the sixth year of Jingtai, the fighting has not ended yet.

 Hundred Years' War plus decades of Wars of the Roses, England's national strength has almost bottomed out. Therefore, when the Ming army crossed the English Channel in large numbers and arrived at the British Isles, they did not encounter even a decent resistance.

By the spring of the 22nd year of Tianshun, Xiang Nan had conquered the British Isles and not even spared Ireland.

 …

At the same time, in addition to capturing the Swiss Confederation, the Ming army on the southern route also captured the Spanish Empire, the Kingdom of Naples, etc. southwards.

The Ming army on the northern route has captured the Kingdom of Poland and is repairing the border to see if they should fight further north. Because if we go further north, we will reach the Principality of Mosenko.

Xiang Nan thought to himself that it was already here now, so don’t be cautious anymore and just fight. Therefore, taking advantage of the warm weather in summer and autumn, Xiang Nan led an army to push back the Principality of Moxike. By the way, the Kalmar Alliance composed of Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, etc. was also taken away.

After conquering Europe, Xiang Nan did not rush back to China. Instead, he organized labor in Europe, established steel plants, cast steel, and built railroad tracks.

Alsace and Lorraine in Europe are famous iron ore areas, while the Ruhr area is a world-renowned coal mining area. Therefore, Xiang Nan mobilized European migrant workers to dig coal, dig iron, and build railways.

 He now conquered the whole of Europe and controlled a population of more than 60 million, so many people were enough for him to use.

 The so-called people who are not of my race must have different minds.

　　When the foreign powers invaded China, they bullied the Chinese people. Not only did they call them the sick men of East Asia, suppressing and discriminating them on a personal level, they also inflicted great economic and physical damage on them, causing the Chinese nation to endure a hundred years of humiliation.

Xiang Nan will naturally not be polite to them now. He forced civilians to dig coal, mines, build railways, and cast machinery... During this period, countless people died of exhaustion and illness.

People say that on the Pacific Railway in the United States, there is a skeleton of a Chinese worker under every sleeper. Today, on this Asia-Europe railway, there is more than one European corpse under each sleeper.

How they troubled the Chinese workers back then, now Xiang Nan asked them to make up for it.

In the 22nd year of Tianshun, Queen Qian passed away.

Xiang Nan issued an edict to bury Zhu Jianshen with generous ceremonies and support Zhu Jianshen's biological mother, Concubine Zhou Huang, as the queen.

 …

Twenty-four years after Tianshun, the Asia-Europe Railway was officially laid.

Xiang Nan’s idea is to start from the Principality of Mosenko and go south through Minsk, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Istanbul, Ankara, Tabriz, Tehran, Kushk, Samarkand, and Almaty to Yili.

Then leave Xuanhua from the capital, pass through Yanmen, Jiuyuan, Yinchuan, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and then go out from Yumen to Yili in the Western Region. In this way, the entire line is connected.

 It can not only guarantee China's control over Europe, but also guarantee China's control over Mongolia and the Western Regions. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

 Hence, starting from the 24th year of Tianshun reign, Xiang Nan’s main energy was focused on the laying of railways.

Since this is the world's first railway, and it is also the first intercontinental railway, it is extremely difficult to lay, the amount of work is high, and the cost is high. It can be said that it has never been done before, and it is estimated that there will be no more in the future.

  But fortunately, Xiangnan has more than 60 million European workers, and he has gained hundreds of millions of wealth by conquering so many countries. Therefore, even if the Asia-Europe railway costs a lot of money, he can still cope with it.

While building the railway, Xiang Nan also swept across Algiers, Tripoli, Egypt, etc. across the Mediterranean Sea.

In the twenty-fifth year of Tianshun's reign, Xiang Nan returned to Central Asia and conquered the Golden Horde to the north.

The Golden Horde was originally the fiefdom of Genghis Khan's eldest son Jochi. He established his own khanate west of the Irtysh River and north of Khwarezm, and ruled today's Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and even Russia. The Luo and Shu kingdoms also came under its account.

However, at the end of the fourteenth century, the Golden Horde was defeated by the Timurid Empire, and even its capital, Sarai, was captured, so its national power declined. Historically, by 1508, the Golden Horde had perished and split into seven or eight khanates, large and small.

 It was precisely because of the demise of the Golden Horde that the Grand Duchy of Mosenko was able to rise.

 After conquering the Golden Horde, Xiang Nan has conquered all territories in the entire Eurasian continent, except South Asia and Southeast Asia. He was therefore satisfied and returned to the DPRK to focus on the development of railway construction.

 …

In the twenty-sixth year of Tianshun's reign, Xiang Nan led the army back to the capital.

 He went on an expedition in the 16th year of Tianshun's reign and came back ten years later.

This time he conquered more kingdoms than Genghis Khan did back then. Genghis Khan only sent troops to the Danube River, but because of his death, the expeditionary army had to stop and rush back to the grassland to fight for the inheritance.

Xiang Nan did not make his mistake and fought all the way to Europe, directly opening up the entire Eurasian continent. In the future, after railways are connected and wireless is used, he will be able to fully rule the Eurasian continent.

Given that Africa, South America, and North America do not have the conditions to develop modern science and technology, as long as nothing happens in Europe, China's rule will be impeccable.

Of course, if you encounter prodigal sons like Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen, no matter how deep your family fortune is, you will be ruined. But that's too far away, so it's not something Xiang Nan should worry about.
