The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 678 Zhu Yunqi's study, the destruction of the Delhi Sultanate
In Zhu Ying's view, dealing with these so-called things should not be too simple when Daming has an absolute advantage.

Zhu Yunqi didn't know how to use the power in his hands at all.

This kind of small matter, let alone a department like Jinyiwei, even some corrupt officials, can be easily done.

Naturally Zhu Ying didn't know, even Mrs. Lu didn't think of any good way.

The Lu family is a little clever, but after all, he has never been an official, and some things are not clear.

After Zhu Yunxuan listened to his elder brother's words, he resigned and went to find Song Zhong.

"Emissary Song Zhen, I will leave this matter to you."

Zhu Yunxuan cupped his hands, and he said after briefly explaining the whole story.

He knew that it was his elder brother who asked him to learn from him. In fact, he really wanted to know how to break through the current situation.

Seeing King Wu bowing, Song Zhong hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Wu Wang is too polite, this is only a subject's duty."

Zhu Yunqi asked curiously; "I don't know what Song Zhenfu envoy plans to do, can you tell me a thing or two first."

Song Zhong hesitated slightly.

This is not the right way, but just by listening to Song Zhong, he will understand how to deal with it.

These matters can be regarded as professional counterparts with Jin Yiwei.

In the final analysis, they are just means of bullying men and women.

It's really embarrassing to tell such methods face to face, after all, everyone usually acts in secret.

It's just that since the grandson has confessed, there is nothing to say.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has lived in the palace for many years. Naturally, these low-level methods are rare. In fact, it is relatively simple. It is nothing more than relying on power to repair these nobles first. After making them pay enough, you will know what to do. How did you choose?"

"As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to mess with, but little ghosts are hard to deal with. Now we just need to do some little ghost things."

Song Zhong's words were more tactful, which made Zhu Yunqi unable to solve the confusion.

"May I ask Song Zhenfu to be a little more specific." Zhu Yunqi asked again.

Song Zhong had no choice but to speak out: "The nobles of the Champa Kingdom have held power for a long time, and there must be some crimes. We only need to grasp these clues to force them to submit easily."

"When you meet those who don't know how to be interesting, you can interrogate them according to the law. These people who have been pampered for a long time can use some torture to force them, and they will naturally become obedient."

"The interests of the nobles are no match for their own safety. As long as a group of nobles are rectified, most of the nobles will be obedient. We don't need to worry about them joining forces at all."

Zhu Yunqi suddenly realized after listening to it, it turned out that it could still be like this.

Then he asked with some doubts: "I'm afraid it will be very troublesome for us to check their evidence. There are so many people, how much time will it take."

Song Zhong smiled sadly and said: "We don't need evidence, we just need a list. If these people are arrested and tortured in prison, they will tell the evidence and what they have committed."

As for the matter of being tortured into a trick, Song Zhong, as the governor of Jinyiwei, had already trained his skill points to the full level.

Zhu Yunqi opened his mouth slightly, Song Zhong's words really opened up a new world for him.

Then he asked without shame: "Wucheng is my vassal state. Naturally, there is no problem in doing so, and others will not say anything, but what should the rest of the Champa Kingdom do? Brother, what you mean is to let the entire Champa Kingdom open School."

"If we send people to other cities, the nobles there will naturally not be willing to stop us."

Song Zhong heard the words without thinking and said directly: "It's easy to do, just find some excuses to frame them, just force them to surrender."

"Don't worry about setting up a school for now, let's focus on other aspects. These nobles themselves are not monolithic, and it is easy to fight for their own interests."

"We are fully capable of catching a batch, collecting a batch, and finally cracking another batch, dismantling them from the inside."

"When the time comes, we will bring up the matter of setting up a school, and it will be a matter of course."

Such a method is based on the disparity between upper and lower ranks. At present, Ming is fully capable of interfering in other countries' internal affairs.

In fact, to disintegrate the alliance of the nobles, all you need to do is find some insiders in Champa and arrange it.

In the following days, Zhu Yunqi followed Song Zhong and jumped around.

I can't do it yet, after all, it's Chinese New Year, just collect the information.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it's not too late to start.

But in comparison, Timur is not so particular.

As he grew up in the Middle East, he has no concept of Chinese New Year.

It is not a problem for Timur to personally conquer the Sultan of Delhi.

After all, the Delhi Sultan has no possibility of confronting Timur.

It's just that the insects from the east made him feel a little bored.

Otherwise, in the past half a month, the capital of the Sultan of Delhi would have already been captured.

At present, 20 troops are besieging the city under the walls of the Delhi Sultan's capital.

"After the city is broken, tell the soldiers that the sword will not be sealed after three days of slaughtering the city."

Timur looked coldly at Mongolia and Tubo on the wall, the Han soldier said.

These people have brought him a lot of losses recently.

The royal capital of the Sultan of Delhi has hundreds of years of inheritance. It is very different from the cities in other places. It is difficult to cross the strong walls.

Siege is no easy task, especially for such a high wall.

Even if it is bombarded by artillery, it still stands tall.

At present, the artillery inventory of Timur's army is running out, which makes Timur annoyed, so he can only send slave troops to consume it.

In fact, Timur's army was not good at siege warfare itself.

The most elite troops under his command are cavalry rather than infantry. If it is on the plains, Delhi Sultan can be easily destroyed, but unfortunately not.

However, although there are some troubles, the Delhi Sultan has no foreign aid, and [-] soldiers are a lot, but it is impossible to save the Delhi Sultan.

Timur is now forcibly recruiting the entire territory of the Delhi Sultan in order to attack the city. All the young and strong must be incorporated into the slave army, and then used as cannon fodder to consume the Delhi Sultan.

The powerful offensive has no intention of stopping at all, and it doesn't matter how many people die, since they are all Delhi Sultans anyway.

"What are they shouting?" Deputy Commander Zhou Cheng couldn't help asking.

He was a little puzzled, and suddenly became very excited when he saw the Timur army below, and he didn't understand what it meant.

As the commander-in-chief, Wang Jinyi said angrily: "I can't understand Turkic, so I don't know what to shout."

After all, Wang Jinyi asked someone who understands Turkic to translate.

The soldier trembled timidly and said: "General, they said that they will slaughter the capital of the king for three days after the city is destroyed."

Wang Jinyi was furious after hearing this: "If you don't want to be a son of man, you still want to massacre the city. You simply don't take us seriously.",

Zhou Cheng said quietly: "We may not last long."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jinyi immediately lost his temper.

Because the situation in Delhi Sultan's capital is too bad now.

In fact, as far as the offensive of both sides is concerned, defending the city has a great advantage.

In the city, including Wang Jinyi's 16 troops, there are a total of [-] troops.

Timur's own army was about 50, and the slave army was only [-].

This is not much, especially for a royal capital like Delhi Sultan, let alone sticking to it for a few months, even half a year is fine.

However, the problem lies in the food reserves.

Originally, it was absolutely possible to keep the food in the city for more than half a year, but seven days ago, some soldiers in the city suddenly rebelled and secretly burned all the stored food. question.

The Sultan of Delhi has no possibility of reinforcements.

In order to block the reinforcements from the Delhi Sultan, Timur also sent a large army to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate during his personal conquest. They were already overwhelmed, so there was no way they could come to support the Delhi Sultan.

Now the entire territory of the Delhi Sultan has basically been brought into the hands of Timur, which means that the capital is the last isolated city of the country.

Coupled with the fact that most of the food was burned, this means that the demise of the Delhi Sultan has become an established fact.

Now it's just a battle of trapped beasts, the final struggle.

"The Sultan of Delhi is about to die. Look at those honorable ministers. They don't even think about how to defend. Instead, they are clamoring how to surrender."

"A few days ago, if the soldiers under our command were not vigilant, the city gate would have been secretly opened by those traitors in the city."

"The destruction of the capital city is inevitable. Timur made the army under his command cry out so loudly to stimulate the cowardly people in the city. They will definitely become more crazy. This means that we are being attacked from both inside and outside."

"With the current situation, I think it is worthy of the 10 taels of gold. After all, we are mercenaries."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chengcheng couldn't help but spit: "Damn, sometimes I feel that we are the people of the Sultan of Delhi. Look at those soldiers, they don't mean to work hard at all."

In the decadent Tugluk dynasty, these soldiers in the capital are almost all fake, and they have long since lost the heroism of the glorious Tugluk dynasty.

On the contrary, the miscellaneous troops recruited from Tubo and Mongolia are all brave and fearless.

Wang Jinyi said helplessly: "You're right, we should think about ourselves. I suspect that these idiots will cooperate with Timur to attack us secretly."

"Then Mahmud is looking for death on his own. He has already found out who is a traitor, and he said that he is letting go of old feelings. Isn't this encouraging them to betray him?"

"It's hopeless, so let's do it, find a time, and we'll take advantage of the night to break out."

"This Timur seems to know some art of war. If there are three circles and one missing, let's go directly from the north gate."

Zhou Cheng thought for a while, hesitated and said, "Since it's been decided, should we take advantage of it?"

"Anyway, in the end, Timur will be cheaper, so it's better to make us cheaper."

When Wang Jinyi heard this, he hesitated a bit: "Will it affect Daming's reputation? The loss outweighs the gain. After all, we are mercenaries."

Zhou Cheng suggested: "Perhaps we can convince Karamo that the imperial guards in his hands will probably be liquidated by Timur, so it's better to go with us."

"Anyway, there are more than 4000 people. We have lost so much now, and we can replenish some."

There were originally 5 people, but after several months of fighting, there were only more than 3 left, and tens of thousands were lost.

The Karamo that Zhou Cheng mentioned was the commander of the imperial guards of Mahmud, the monarch of the Tughluk dynasty, and he could be regarded as a truly combative team in the capital.

Wang Jinyi thought in his heart.

If Karamo acts to seize the wealth in the capital, it will basically have no impact on Daming's reputation.

After all, it was their own people who did it.

And Karamo will definitely have nowhere to go in the future, so he can only go back to U-Tsang with himself.

After returning, most of the Mongolian soldiers and Tubo soldiers will leave, after all, they are just following temporarily.

But here in Karamo, there is a high possibility that he will always be by his side. After all, the Sultan of Delhi has perished, and they are all homeless wanderers.

They can even be incorporated into the Ming system.

Returning to Daming with thousands of elites, there are many meritorious deeds.

Besides, most of the wealth of the capital will fall into his own pocket.

"Okay, I'll do as you said. I can't leave the city right now. I'm afraid something will happen suddenly. I'll leave the matter of persuading Karamo to you."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, I had a drink with Karamo before. He is not a native nobleman, he was promoted later, and he has resentment towards these nobles in the city."

"Now there is such an opportunity, I believe he will not refuse."

After speaking, Zhou Chengcheng left with dozens of people.

The shouting of Timur's army had a great impact on the Delhi Sultan.

Only this capital is left of the Delhi Sultanate, which means that its destruction is only a matter of time.

Many people have long had the idea of ​​surrender.

When Zhou Cheng came to the palace, there was already a lot of noise here.

"I said a long time ago that there is no need to struggle needlessly. How many civilians and soldiers have lost their lives in the war is a waste of life. Those outsiders are completely untrustworthy. They just want to get their own benefits."

"That's right, these foreigners are from Ming Dynasty, and most of them are Mongolian soldiers and Tubo soldiers. Daming will not send troops to help us at all, but only act in the name of others."

"If we don't surrender, Timur will really massacre the city. You know, how many cities have been massacred by Timur. Even if we surrender, the Sultan of Delhi needs our assistance to govern. Timur will not always be there here."

"For us, it is only temporarily ruled by Timur, and the Delhi Sultan will eventually return to the country again."

"I suggest that maybe the heads of those foreigners can be used as congratulatory gifts for Timur, so that Timur can feel our sincerity."

In the palace hall, because of Timur's massacre of the city, the situation is already one-sided.

Mahmud, who was sitting on the throne, seemed to be unable to speak.

But listening to the discussions of the ministers, Mahmud was also a little tangled.

Maybe it was a wrong decision to give [-] gold to Wang Jinyi?
