I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 211 Blood hatred for the ancestors, revenge for the race!This is the foundation of being a human being.

Sailing at sea is very boring.

Zhu Zhangui got used to this lonely life and didn't feel much.

Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who went to sea for the first time, fell into boredom and irritability after the excitement of the first sea voyage.

What made the three of them even more unbearable was the phenomenon of seasickness.

Zhu Zhanji may be better because he is young and strong.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, two children who grew up in the north, were in a miserable mess.

The vomit was in the dark, and he hadn't eaten for a few days.

Zhu Zhangui, who couldn't bear the taste, separated from the three and went to another ship full of cargo.

On the splint, Zhu Zhangui was lying on the recliner, enjoying the sunshine while enjoying the massage and feeding fruit by the maid next to him.

This time he came out with two maids, namely Sanbao who was trying on Auntie's scarf (not Zheng He!) and her younger sister Babao.

It is an old rule that there should be no female relatives in the army, and the old man is very strict about this.

If it wasn't for the reasons of etiquette, when the old man came out, he wouldn't even bring the palace ladies with him.

The reason why Zhu Zhangui brought these two sisters was because they were the princesses of the Bengal Sultanate.

When I went to sea with Zheng He, the fleet also reached the Sultanate of Bangladesh.

The Sultanate at this time was not like the messy, overcrowded, and impoverished later generations.

As the largest free international trade port, the Sultanate of Bangladesh can be said to be rich in oil.

In Bengal in the 14th century, the environment and climate can be said to be so good that people are envied and jealous to the point of madness.

The land and climate here, as long as you throw in a seed, you can germinate and grow.

At that time, Zhu Zhangui wanted to grab it fiercely.

According to his estimation, this place alone can bring him an income of 5000 to [-] million taels.

But his thoughts were stopped by Zheng He.

It can be said that the Sultanate is very respectful to the big country of Ming Dynasty.

On the day the fleet arrived, they received a warm reception, and the accommodation, food and treatment were the best.

The palace got the news, and even sent the eldest prince to invite Zhu Zhangui and Zheng He to the palace as guests.

When the two arrived at the palace, the king led the whole family out to greet them, and held a grand welcome banquet in the evening.

When resting, the king also sent his two daughters to Zhu Zhangui's room to serve Zhu Zhangui.

No matter how thick-skinned Zhu Zhangui was, he was too embarrassed to take this kind of super high reception treatment.

When leaving, the king gave Zhu Zhangui his two daughters, hoping to exchange the two daughters for Daming's friendship.

At the same time, he also presented a lot of gifts, and even sent his own son to follow the fleet to meet the old man to express the friendship between the two countries.

The road construction was going to be borrowed from the Sultanate of Bangladesh, so Zhu Zhangui brought out the two maids.

He wanted to rely on the relationship between the two women to see if he could win the Sultanate of Bangladesh without a war.

As for excuses.

Ha ha.

Zhu Zhangui still believes that the road is safer in his own hands.

In order for the two women to successfully persuade the king of the Bengal Sultanate, Zhu Zhangui accepted the two women on board and gave them the status of talents.

Becoming Zhu Zhangui's woman, the two daughters who had relied on Zhu Zhangui at first turned their hearts towards Zhu Zhangui even more.

Regarding Zhu Zhangui's idea of ​​wanting the two of them to persuade their father to join the Ming Dynasty.

The two women also raised their hands in favor.

In the past few years of living in Daming, they have thoroughly understood the strength of Daming.

Now the Three Kingdoms next door are about to be taken by the Ming Dynasty.

If the Bengal Sultanate does not speed up its defection, it will be surrounded by the territory of Ming Dynasty in the future, and the port will be blocked by the navy of Ming Dynasty, then the life of the Sultanate of Bangladesh will be difficult.

As the saying goes, icing on the cake is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult, and now is the best time to seek refuge with Daming.

Given the geographical location of the Sultanate of Bangladesh, if his father chooses to surrender, it will be no problem to get the title of duke.

Sambo's gentle massage made Zhu Zhangui close his eyes comfortably.

"After you go back, don't rush to talk about the surrender. I will mention it after I arrive at the port with the army."

"Under external pressure and your persuasion, I believe your father will make the right choice."

The two girls nodded obediently.

Sanbao pursed his lips, and confirmed hesitantly.

"Your Highness, you won't hurt my father and the others, right?"

Feeling the trembling of the beauty's massage hands, Zhu Zhangui patted Qi's tender little hands with a smile.

"Don't worry, because you have served me for so long, even if they resist, I will guarantee their safety and let them spend the rest of their lives in peace and prosperity!"

The two girls breathed a sigh of relief, and Yujie Sanbao hugged Zhu Zhangui's neck gratefully, and smoky one.

After months of sailing at sea, the fleet finally arrived in the Indian Sea.

Zhu Zhangui separated two warships and asked Hu Yu to lead a group of guards to protect the two daughters and go back to visit their relatives.

When one's own woman returns to her natal family, the standards must naturally be higher, otherwise the natal family will feel that the girl is not valued by her husband's family.

Of course, the more important purpose is to let Hu Yu and others figure out the current situation in the Sultanate of Bangladesh.

Like the deployment of military forces, various important fortresses and fortresses must also be understood.

Whether to fight or not is one thing, knowing whether to know is another.

The fleet first stopped at Jaffna, asked Xia Yuanji who stayed behind, and learned that the old man was still in the north.

Zhu Zhangui left some supplies and took the fleet northward to Surat, the temporary base camp in the north.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Zhu Zhangui found something wrong with the atmosphere of the camp.

The battalion was full of wounded soldiers, and many soldiers were even more dejected, without the invincible arrogance he had when he left.

"What's going on? It looks a bit like a lost battle."

Zhu Zhanji, who was following Zhu Zhangui, saw this situation and asked in a low voice.

During the time on the ship, the relationship between the two brothers eased a lot.

Although it has not returned to the original state, but it will not be a silent attitude when meeting each other.

Zhu Zhangui, who was frowning tightly, shook his head. He also just arrived, so he didn't know what happened.

But in the current situation, it is estimated that the front line has suffered.

Zhu Zhangui guessed in his heart that the problem may be the northern battlefield.

It's not that Zhu Zhangui looked down on those weak chickens in the east of the Ganges Plain.

If you double the strength of those weak chickens, they will not be the opponent of the Ming army.

The only threat to Daming in the Three Kingdoms region is the group of Turkic descendants in the north.

Guessing the possible situation in his heart, Zhu Zhangui walked quickly to the headquarters with the three people behind him.

"Tell Jianghuai, you must stabilize the line of defense for me, and if he loses the city or land, he won't have to come back to see me, just find a place where no one is around and wipe his neck!"

As soon as the four of them approached the command room, they heard the old man's roar before entering the door.

The four looked at each other. Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui restrained their excited smiles about seeing the old man, and walked in with serious expressions.

As soon as the four of them entered the house, they saw the old man and a group of generals pointing around the sand table.

"His Royal Highness!"

A general accidentally looked up and saw Zhu Zhangui walking in, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.

The old man, who was frowning while looking at the sand table, raised his head in surprise when he heard the general's shout.

"Grandpa! Dad!"

The four of them clasped their fists in a salute.

Zhu Zhanji, who hadn't seen the old man for a long time, saw that his grandfather's temples had added a lot of silver threads, and his eye circles turned red with distress.

"Okay, okay, get up, get up!"

Seeing his two sons and two grandsons, the old man who was in a very bad mood eased up a lot.

He walked forward with a smile, and patted the shoulders of the four of them one by one.

When he was in front of Zhu Zhanji, he couldn't help touching his head.

"You little bastard, you've been away for so long, don't you want grandpa?"

The old man's question made Zhu Zhanji's red eyes shed tears.

He plopped down on his knees, looked at the old man and choked up.

"Grandpa, grandson knows his mistake!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Zhanji who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and nodded in relief.

"You are a good boy if you know your mistakes and can correct them. In the future, listen to your elder brother carefully. Your elder brother will not treat you badly."

After finishing speaking, he glared at Zhu Zhangui who was standing beside him, "Little brat, don't you think so!"

Zhu Zhangui hurriedly nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, this is my own younger brother. How could I treat him badly? I've already made up my mind. I'll give it to Zhanji when I take down A Sanguo later."

"With my younger brother watching over here, I feel more at ease here than anywhere else in Ah Sanguo!"

The two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stared together.

The old man was also choked, and gave Zhu Zhangui a vicious look.

This bastard is purely intentional.

He called his two sons over, but the old man didn't believe that Zhu Zhangui didn't understand what he meant.

He still said that now because he was worried about these two uncles, and wanted to squeeze them back to Daming, and continue to be an idle prince.

"Cough cough!"

The old man coughed dryly, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Zhanji up who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Who will take care of the Three Kingdoms area? We will discuss it later. The most urgent task now is to deal with the enemy in front of us!"

With that said, the old man brought the four of them to the side of the sand table, pointed to the northern area, and said coldly.

"Just last month, these Turkic bastards in the north gathered 30 troops and launched an attack on Zhang Fu!"

"The two sides fought for a day, and our side was repelled for dozens of miles, and the casualties reached more than 15000 people."

Speaking of the situation that day, the old man punched hard on the frame of the sand table.

This is the first time that the expeditionary force has suffered a defeat since it went to sea, and it was a defeat with such a large number of casualties.

Thinking of more than 1 elite soldiers spilling blood on the battlefield in a foreign land like this, the old man's heart trembled with pain.

This is all about Daming's background. There were so many casualties in a war, so how could he explain to the people of Daming and face the families of these soldiers.

What made him even more aggrieved was that.

When Zhu Zhangui didn't leave, the army advanced all the way.

As a result, Zhu Zhangui had just left on the front foot, and took over on the back foot by himself, and he suffered a defeat.

Doesn't this mean that his military command ability is not as good as his grandson's.

Listening to the old man's introduction, Zhu Zhangui frowned tightly.

Although there are a large number of enemies, the strong defense line of the Ming army, the powerful firepower of the Shenji Battalion, and Zhang Fu's command ability.

Not to mention winning and not losing, how could the battle be like this.

It was Zhang Fu who made a mistake.

Obviously not possible.

With Zhang Fu's prudence, such a mistake would never happen.

Coupled with the fact that there is an old man watching from behind, no matter how big-hearted Zhang Fu is, he will not make it like this.

So the remaining possibility is that the enemy is too strong and ignores the powerful firepower of the Shenji Battalion, or the enemy has found the weakness of the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhangui looked at Zhang Xian who had kept his head down since he appeared beside him.

Looking at Zhang Xian whose hands were still bandaged and dropped on his neck, Zhu Zhangui frowned and asked.

"I remember that when I left, you followed the British Duke. You should be very clear about what happened at that time!"

Zhang Xian nodded in shame.

"The last general was at the front and participated in the battle."

"What's going on? With your defense and firepower, it shouldn't be like this. Did you make any major mistakes?"

Zhang Xian cried and said aggrievedly.

"Your Highness...it's not that brothers don't want to die, it's because God wasn't on our side that day!"

Next, Zhang Xian quickly explained the situation of the day.

Since the Ming army came into contact with the barbarians of Turkic descent in the north, the two sides have fought many battles in order to compete for the territory of the Three Kingdoms.

Although the military strength of the two sides was somewhat disparate, with the powerful firepower of the Shenji Battalion, the solid defense line, and Zhang Fu's steady command.

The barbarians of Turkic descent in the north did not take advantage of anything.

The two sides fought several times in a row. After suffering from the firepower of the Shenji Camp many times, the group of barbarians of Turkic descent in the north chose to retreat.

The stalemate lasted for a long time until it was suddenly broken on the 15th of last month.

The northern Turkic barbarians who had been in their own line of defense suddenly launched a surprise attack that morning.

The enemy's army is vast and mighty, and it is conservatively estimated that the number is at least 30.

Although the enemy is outnumbered, the Ming army is not afraid at all.

With the powerful firepower of the Shenji Battalion and the artillery removed from the battleship, they are confident in holding the line of defense.

In the morning, the enemy launched a fierce attack and suffered countless casualties, but still failed to take down the Ming army's position.

In front of the defense line of the Ming army, the corpses of the enemies and the wailing of the undead were covered.

The morale of the Ming army was high and they were very confident. They defended the line of defense and repelled the enemy's 30 troops.

But it happened unexpectedly in the afternoon.

After lunch, the enemy continued to launch a fierce attack.

The Ming army also attacked fiercely.

Just when the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the originally clear sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds and the sound of thunder rolling.

After a gust of wind, big raindrops poured down.

In just a few breaths, the unprepared Shenjiying fell silent.

The ferocious bombardment of the artillery also turned into lumps of iron.

The enemy seems to have been waiting for this moment.

As soon as the fierce firepower of the Shenji Battalion fell silent, the enemy's Iron Armored Army rushed up madly on the muddy ground against the pouring rain.

The enemy was close in sight, and the flintlock gun in his hand also went silent.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion did not retreat. Under the roar of the officer, they loaded their bayonets and launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy.

The long line of defense is full of fighting and roaring.

Shenjiying was only wearing simple half-body leather armor due to the later change of clothes.Facing the enemy's sharp scimitar and heavy axe, the defense is almost 0.

The only weapon to kill the enemy is a poor bayonet.

The enemy is wearing solid iron armor, and the bayonet is stabbed on the enemy, which cannot cause harm to the enemy at all.

The enemy also seemed to know this situation, and only protected the defensive weakness of the body, and ignored the other places.

Many soldiers of the Shenji Battalion desperately stabbed the enemy with bayonets, but were defended by the armor on the opponent's body.

Even under force, the bayonet broke directly.

Casualties are increasing rapidly, and most fronts have been breached by the enemy.

That is to say, the Shenji Battalion is well-trained and strong-willed, and when the enemy is strong and we are weak, they froze to block the enemy's crazy attack.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Fu listened to the number of casualties and the breached front constantly reported by his subordinates, and angrily pointed at the sky and scolded Gou Niang. After considering the gains and losses, he finally ordered the whole army to retreat helplessly.

It is impossible not to retreat.

In this heavy rain, the combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion was directly weakened to the extreme.

If it weren't for Shenji Battalion's tenacious discipline and well-trained training, the whole line would have collapsed the moment the heavy rain fell.

The army retreated all the way.

In order to fend off the enemy's pursuit, Zhang Fu personally led the cold weapon army to cut off the rear for the whole army.

In the end Zhang Fu was seriously injured and thousands of people were killed or injured before the enemy stopped him and allowed the main army to retreat safely.

Knowing the reason for the defeat, Zhu Zhangui sighed helplessly.

This defeat really cannot be blamed on Zhang Fu and the soldiers of Shenji Battalion.

The inability to fight in rainy days is the biggest problem of all front-loading guns.

No matter how it is loaded, it is impossible to avoid the gunpowder being wet.

It's okay to be careful on a light rainy day, but this battle is a stormy day.

Not to mention muzzle-loading guns like flintlock guns, the second-generation guns equipped in the future cannot guarantee successful firing under such circumstances.

This problem can only be solved if copper casing or iron casing fixed bullets appear.

"Grandpa...how is the situation now?"

After understanding the situation of the defeat, Zhu Zhangui asked the old man, how is the situation in the northern battlefield?

The old man's face was a little ugly and he said: "The enemy understands our weakness. Every time they attack, it is rainy and rainy. Usually, they are careful to defend."

"Zhang Fu is currently recovering from his injuries. Jianghuai is in charge of the front line. They are struggling a bit!"

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Zhu Zhangui quickly thought about the solution.

The enemy knew the weakness of the Shenji Battalion, and it was very difficult to defeat the enemy quickly.

Coupled with the timing of the enemy's attack, the impact on the Shenji Battalion was too great.

Zhu Zhangui thought about it, and said to the old man.

"Since the enemy knows the weakness of the Shenji Battalion, let's switch back to the previous style of play."

"Before we didn't have the Shenji Battalion, weren't we still invincible?"

"Let's use the swords in our hands to tell those Turkic bastards in the north that it is time to settle the accounts between the two races many years ago."

Zhu Zhangui looked at all the generals and said loudly: "The ancestors of the Tang Dynasty drove them here. Today, our descendants, let their family come to an end here!"

Zhu Zhangui raised his right hand, looked at everyone and roared.

"Those brothers who died in battle are still waiting for us in the north."

"Warriors of Ming Dynasty, brothers of XX, dare to fight with XX, and take those brothers home!"

"kill!"

All the generals raised their hands and roared.

Even Zhu Gaoxu, who has been watching Zhu Zhangui unhappy, raised his arms and shouted.

Zhu Zhangui picked up the small flag representing Daming and planted it in the enemy's camp.Turning around to look at the old man, he raised his hand and beat his chest, solemnly promising on behalf of all the generals.

"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"
