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

Chapter 382 The Challenge Book of the Golden Horde!

"How about it?"

Li Hu, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, looked at his disciple calmly commanding, and smiled gratifiedly, and looked at Qi Yuan, who was also holding a teacup.

After taking a sip of the high-quality green tea that only the navy has been rationed for a long time, Qi Yuan nodded and said, "Very good, but I just overlooked something!"

Li Hu chuckled, and explained to him: "It's the first time, it's inevitable that you're a little nervous. Could it be that you were so calm when you went to the battlefield for the first time?"

Qi Yuan shrugged, "The first time I saw a murderer, I peed my pants and had nightmares for half a month."

"Hahaha……"

Li Hu laughed out loud, patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, and said to his apprentice who was looking at the map: "Don't forget Your Highness's explanation, this is also one of our tasks."

Jiang Han, who was staring at the map and thinking about his next battle plan, froze for a moment and slapped his forehead.

"Looking at my memory, I almost forgot such an important thing."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked to the radio station, picked up the microphone and ordered: "Attention all ministries, if you find the craftsman on the other side try to capture them alive, if the resistance is fierce, you can deal with it consciously!"

The reason why Zhu Zhangui made such an explanation is because he wanted to gather all craftsmen from the East and the West, and see what kind of sparks would be sparked when people from different civilizations collide.

In the same way, it can also arouse the desire of the two parties to fight.

As the status of the Ming craftsman camp became higher and higher, Zhu Zhangui discovered that some craftsmen had begun to stop making progress.

Immersed in previous research results, I can't extricate myself, and some have even started to fish.

Every morning when I go to work, I go to the place to punch a card, and then I just pick up something and fiddle with it. I didn’t write a word all morning, and I went to the cafeteria to eat, and the same in the afternoon.

If it's just a day or two, it's fine, but according to Lao He's report, some craftsmen have been like this for several months or even half a year.

Although Zhu Zhangui hated it a little, but these craftsmen have made contributions to Daming, if they were all fired, it would feel a little unkind.

After all, in the most difficult time, these people endured hardships with him, and studied day and night. Now that Daming is strong, he feels that he is useless, so he kicks him out. This is really not like what people do. .

Later, when he learned that the navy had a plan to attack Constantinople, Zhu Zhangui informed Li Hu that he should not harm the craftsmen in the West and escort them to Daming as safely as possible.

Zhu Zhangui wants to use the hands of these Western craftsmen to stimulate these craftsmen who have started to live a leisurely life and continue to work and study.

Of course, if Western craftsmen research something very useful, Zhu Zhangui will not hesitate to reward it.

Isn't there something to say?
It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.

As long as he researches something that is beneficial to Daming, even if it is a black ghost, Zhu Zhangui will treat him accordingly.

This is respect for talent.

On the shore, the fighting on the beach is over.

The Ming soldiers charging with rifles shouting were driving the Ottoman soldiers towards the castle.

Shouts of gunshots resounded throughout the beach, and the Ottoman soldiers who were being chased fell to the ground screaming from time to time and never got up again.

Under the frantic release of naval guns, the walls of Constantinople collapsed in many places, and the Ottoman soldiers guarding the walls suffered heavy casualties. They were no longer able to block the attack of the Ming Marine Corps.

"Bang bang bang..."

Quickly emptied the ammunition in the pistol, and the team leader who was the first to step on the beach quickly changed the ammunition for the pistol while looking at the situation on the battlefield.

The following order has been conveyed just now. It is forbidden to harm the craftsmen in the West, and cooperate as much as possible.

And also gave a very high reward.

If an important craftsman is captured alive, the reward can reach ten taels of silver, and the cheapest apprentice of an ordinary craftsman is also worth three taels of silver.

Nima, killing a regular Ottoman soldier is only one tael of silver, while a handless craftsman is three taels of silver, a fool knows which is the most cost-effective.

The team leader who has already considered going back to build a house and marry a wife is in urgent need of money, so he needs to find two fat sheep in exchange for the money to marry a wife.

Although with his current salary, there is no pressure to marry a Korean or Japanese girl, but the old man in the family is a rigid person who requires him to marry a Han girl, and does not allow those foreigners to mess up the family blood.

But the problem is that girls from the Han family are now expensive in dowry gifts, and the minimum dowry gift for a good-looking, well-educated and sensible girl has reached 66 taels. Coupled with a series of matters such as marriage, there is no one hundred taels of silver that cannot be wiped out.

Ordinary peasant girls have a low bride price, and a marriage can be completed with 30 taels of silver.

However, the team leader, who has seen the big world, naturally has a high vision. Although the rural girl is good, he still wants a better one.

Some time ago, his family sent him a letter, saying that he had discussed with the family of a scholar in the village, and promised to marry his daughter to him as long as he offered a gift of 66 taels.

The captain of the talented girl's daughter has seen it before, she looks so delicate, so beautiful, and she can read and write.

If this is married back home, not to mention the envy of relatives and friends around, just my own little life will be happy.

Thinking of the girl from the scholar's family, the captain clicked the bullet into the chamber, knocked down a rushing Ottoman soldier, and rushed towards a relatively large room.

He had been fortunate enough to go to the Artisan Camp to get equipment for the legion, and he knew where the craftsmen would probably work, so he immediately locked the room in a building like the Artisan Camp.

He charged all the way with the brothers behind him, and soon came to an area.

Kicking open a closed door, the captain was the first to rush in with a gun in hand.

To encounter this kind of environment in the past, they would throw a grenade into it first.

However, today the prisoners are being captured, and dead craftsmen are worthless. If someone with super ability is killed, they may even be scolded.

So now I can only take a risk and rush in.

Besides, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, how to make money without working hard, and how to marry a girl from a scholar's family.

The captain is acting, and the other teams are not stupid.

No one is short of money these days. Only a fool is willing to give up such a high reward.

So for those who did not carry weapons or wear military uniforms, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty showed mercy.

Although Constantinople had 3 Ottoman troops stationed there, it seemed so weak when the line of defense was lost and faced with the powerful firepower of Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the trouble of reloading the flintlock, it was impossible to resist the charge of the Ming army.

The battle started in the morning and was completely over by the time of Shen Shi in the afternoon.

Constantinople, an important Ottoman town, flew the golden dragon flag of Ming Dynasty and became the territory controlled by Ming Dynasty.

"Hurry up... Hurry up..."

Groups of captives were pushed out of the castle by the soldiers. They lined up with mournful faces and walked towards the Daming transport ship that was already docked at the pier.

Then there will be two fates for them.

Firstly, those who are artisans can be lucky enough to go to Daming and live a decent life with enough food and clothing.

Second, those who are not craftsmen will be sent to canals and other areas that need work, and the fate of the second half of their lives will be for Daming to work for the rest of their lives.

In the castle, the marines escorted the soldiers and captives, and let the captives start to repair the city walls and clean the battlefield.

The place of Constantinople is an important place, and taking it here is equivalent to dividing the entire Ottoman Empire into two.

Qi Yuan's plan is to use this as a long-term occupation base to affect the operation and connection of Ottoman.

As for the enemy's counterattack, he didn't care at all.

Logistics supplies are transported by the navy. If the enemy attacks, the navy can also provide fire support on the sea.

As long as the next legion is stationed here to ensure its supplies and fire support, even if the 20 Ottoman legion comes, it will not even try to take back Constantinople.

"The commander-in-chief of the navy, Li Hu, and the commander of the marine corps, Qi Yuan, express their condolences to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"With the cooperation of our navy and army, we took Constantinople at Shenshi this afternoon. In this battle, our army killed more than 2 enemy people and captured more than 1.2 enemy people, including more than [-] craftsmen. .”

"A number of various experimental tools were seized, as well as more than 2 rifles of various types, resulting in countless raw materials."

"In this battle, our army killed 867 people, injured 2321 people, and lost some ammunition and weapons."

"Now our army has divided the Ottoman Empire into two, completely disrupting the enemy's domestic stability, and perfectly completing the plan to cooperate with the Eastern Front."

"The soldiers of the whole army are very confident, and they are firmly inserted into the enemy's heart like a nail, to take back Kyushu for my Ming Dynasty, and to contribute to the grand blueprint in the mind of the Supreme Emperor."

"Ming Wansheng, November 11rd of the fourth year of Hongxi! The Western Expeditionary Corps Navy Joint Report."

In the Baisha conference room, Zhu Zhangui held the telegram sent by Li Hu Qiyuan, and read out the contents in a loud voice.

Everyone who listened to the content of the telegram had a happy smile on their lips.

The old man put his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes and half-lyed on the brocade couch, listening to the telegram, as if he was listening to some wonderful little tune.

"it is good!"

When Zhu Zhangui finished reading the telegram, the old man opened his eyes and shouted hello.

"Beautiful, well done, now I see how this bastard, Omurad, supports Timur."

The old man took the telegram with a big laugh, and read it again happily.

Appreciating it beautifully for a while, the old man slapped the telegram on the table, looked at all the generals present and said loudly: "The west has won a beautiful victory, and the 20 people in the east can't be vague."

"Now our side has occupied a small half of Timur's land, but is that enough?"

Staring at everyone present, the old man said loudly without waiting for everyone's answer: "Not enough, this is just the beginning, our brothers have just warmed up, and the real thing is going to happen next."

"Now the Timur Empire is in chaos because of Shah Ruh's death. We don't express it at this time, and the Timurids think we don't appreciate it."

"Hahaha…"

There was a burst of laughter in the meeting room.

"Now I order!"

The old man also smiled, and then his expression became serious.

All the generals present stood up with a "crash", waiting for the old man's arrangement.

"After a few days of repairs, I believe everyone is relieved, and the supplies have reached the various legions. Now the Timurid Empire has been divided into several factions in order to compete for dominance, and the national strength has been extremely weak."

"Our ancestors said that taking advantage of their illnesses will kill them. We must listen to our ancestors."

"So next, each legion will continue to attack according to the plan formulated at the beginning!"

"Old man, I will give you some time. Before February 2 next year, I want the name Timur to become history!"

"As ordered!"

November 25th of the fourth year of Hongxi.

The troops of the Ming Dynasty, which had stopped resting due to the guerrilla warfare, once again took the iron hooves of conquest
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Jianghuai led the troops to capture the central city of Mashhad Timur. On the fifth day of the same month, Zhang Fu led the main force and arrived at Qazvin. down the city.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the Laba Festival was celebrated among the people, Qian Yu led the right army, regardless of logistics, to pass through most of the Timurid Empire, and killed Baghdad.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, two days before New Year’s Eve, the main force of the Ming army arrived in Mosul.

After this battle, only part of the western Caucasus remained in the territory of the Timur Empire, and all the rest fell into the hands of the Ming army.

On the other hand, the Ming army also successfully joined forces with the Western Expeditionary Army, completely opening up the entire East Asian region.

However, just when the various legions of the Ming Dynasty were in high spirits and were about to take down the last resistance force of the entire Timurid Empire in one fell swoop, a letter of challenge came to the Baisha headquarters.

"Oh!"

The old man slapped the challenge book on the table, and said angrily: "The head of the Golden Horde is capable. I didn't go to the old man, but he dared to meddle in my affairs, and dared to challenge me by name." , really turned against him."

According to the report of Jin Yiwei's spies, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Golden Horde Han Kingdom suddenly announced that it would join the Alliance of Allah, and sent 10 troops, including 5 cavalry, to the Timurid Empire, ready to help the Timurid Empire. Resist Ming's invasion.

And what is even more surprising is that people from the Golden Horde came to the Timur Empire and did not follow Uchar's suggestion to defend various places and resist steadily.

Instead, he directly sent a letter of challenge to Da Ming, requesting a face-to-face confrontation with Da Ming.

And it will be explained later that if Da Ming is afraid, he will retreat to the territory of Da Ming. The great Golden Horde will not pursue Da Ming's offense.

The other party's such arrogant behavior made the entire command group of the Ming army angry.

They have fought an enemy for so long, and they have never seen such an arrogant one. The forest is really big, and there are all kinds of birds.

How long has it been? These prairie barbarians have forgotten the lesson Daming's father taught them.

The old man also pretended to be looked down upon and angry, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.

Especially when the other party asked him to play by name, it made him feel even more beautiful.

Originally, he thought that after beating Timur, the family should urge him to go back.

It doesn't matter if he goes home, but what makes him very regretful is that he didn't kill a single enemy in the whole war, which makes this veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield all his life feel uncomfortable.

However, just when he was regretting, thinking that he might never have the chance to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy again, the Golden Horn Han Kingdom sent them over eagerly.

This made the old man so happy that he almost cheered.

If the ruler of the Golden Horde was in front of him, he would definitely step forward excitedly and grab the opponent's hand, thanking him repeatedly.

Of course, but before that, he needs to explain to his grandson, otherwise his grandson objected, no matter how excited he was, it would be useless.

Alas, it wasn't until this moment that the old man realized that as he grew older, his grandson grew up and took care of the family. He had already begun to subconsciously listen to and be afraid of his grandson.
