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

Chapter 396 Dyeing half the world with bright red!

"Hey, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Just when all the women in the palace were waiting, Zhu Zhangui's old mother, Empress Zhang, came to Shangshu's room with a cup of ginseng tea.

"Can I not come? Those girls are sitting with me, and those who have no children are about to cry. I really feel uncomfortable and come here."

Putting the ginseng tea in front of her husband, Queen Zhang explained the reason.

Ever since the news spread that the crown prince applied to the emperor to cancel the burial, the women in the palace have gone crazy.

First, several concubines of Zhu Gaochi visited Mrs. Zhang for various reasons, and then several daughters-in-law.

A group of women were sitting there, talking nonsense, but their eyes were always on Mrs. Zhang.

Zhu Pangpang and they dare not come here, Zhu Zhangui is guarding the old man's spirit, and they dare not go, so they can only ask Queen Zhang for news.

After all, if such a big matter is confirmed, Queen Zhang will definitely be the first to know.

This matter is not related to the lives of one or two people, but the lives of all the women in the entire palace.

In the current Daming Palace, apart from the empress, other women are likely to be buried.

For example, after Zhu Pangpang died, although he said that only those who had nothing to do with the harem went to be buried, but in the real list, there are a few of those who were buried with children.

So in the palace, having children is only the most basic guarantee. If the emperor and queen want you to be buried, it will be useless even if you have 100 children.

Regarding the burial, all the women in the palace were terrified and terrified. They dreamed more than once, hoping to abolish this system.

But for so many years, no one has mentioned this matter.

Because this is the ancestral system, even if the status is low, no one will take care of it, and the high status does not want to be stigmatized for violating the ancestral system.

It's fine now.

The most powerful prince of Ming Dynasty stood up, and all the women raised their hearts to their throats.

All women understand that there is a good chance that this will work.

Because this is what the crown prince said, and this crown prince is the most powerful crown prince in Daming other than Prince Yiwen.

Although I know that the chance of success is very high, what if the emperor refuses.

So all women are very nervous and very concerned about this issue.

Everyone wanted to inquire, but didn't know where to inquire, so anyone who had something to do with it came to Mrs. Zhang.

I hope that the Empress Empress can speak out to help them for the sake of being a woman.

"I heard that Concubine Pu was looking for that brat."

After taking a sip of ginseng tea, Zhu Pangpang didn't talk about his decision, but asked about the cause of the incident.

"She went to the big girl first."

Passing the towel to her husband, Mrs. Zhang came behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"It's not that the big girl doesn't know, she's kind-hearted and doesn't like this kind of thing."

"The other party cried a few tears, and the big girl felt distressed, but she was also sensible, so she didn't intervene in this matter, and asked the other party to find the brat."

"You don't understand your son, as long as it's not too much, he will agree to those girls who open their mouths."

"Oh, girl, how can you control people with this character in the future."

Hearing that the cause started from the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhu Pangpang shook his head.

"This girl is very similar to me. She can't see the suffering in the world. She sheds tears when she sees poor people."

Mrs. Zhang also nodded in agreement.

"you?"

Hearing what his wife said, Zhu Pangpang glanced at her speechlessly.

"Oh, what kind of eyes do you have! Could it be that I was not kind-hearted before?"

Noticing the look in her husband's eyes, Mrs. Zhang patted her husband angrily.

"Good, kind, very kind."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was angry, Zhu Pangpang got up quickly and helped Mrs. Zhang to sit on the chair next to her.

"Humph!"

"I've become like this now, I'm not blaming you guys."

"Everyone is big-hearted. If I'm still the same as before, this family will be ruined by you long ago."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's our masters' fault. It's our masters who made the gentle and kind empress into what she is today. This is the head office."

"Humph!"

Seeing her husband subdued, Mrs. Zhang snorted twice, and didn't mention it again.

"What do you think of this?"

Picking up the memorabilia sent by his son just now, Zhu Pangpang handed it to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang didn't reach out to pick it up, "You are the emperor, you make the decision, how dare we ask about this, the monument in the harem is still there, the old man is still watching in front, what are you trying to do to me. "

"You!"

Zhu Pangpang shook his head helplessly, "As the empress of Ming Dynasty, the head of women in the world, this matter is about your women. Now, as the emperor, I grant you permission to discuss this matter."

Seeing that her husband had said everything to this point, Mrs. Zhang didn't refuse any more. After thinking about it, she sighed and said, "According to my idea, let's cancel her."

"Not for anything else, but for those girls, I can't keep this rule."

"If we deny this matter today, the little anger that has just risen in the harem will be completely gone."

"And what my son said is right, it should be for Qi Rui, Qi Zhen, Qi Yu and others to accumulate virtue."

"Our Daming is not short of money, so we don't need these few people to eat, and we will support them in the future, as a reward for taking care of the old man."

As she spoke, she opened the playbook, pointed to one of them, and said, "Son, this idea is not bad. The burial was decided by our ancestors. If we cancel it, we will fall into the shoes of others, so let's change it and use the sacrifice of a living person to replace it." Tao people died."

"If anyone needs to be buried in the future, let the craftsmen make one according to their appearance, and then send it directly to the mausoleum. This will not violate the ancestral system of the ancestors, but also accumulate virtue for future generations. And you, the emperor? , will also gain a good reputation for canceling this cruel system."

Listening to his wife's analysis, Zhu Pangpang smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, the husband and wife are of the same mind.

In fact, he also disagrees with the system of sacrificial burial.

But the law of the ancestors was there, no one mentioned it, and he didn't dare to change it easily.

After all, he is not his father who can suppress the entire imperial court, nor is he his son, all civil and military officials in the court trembled when they saw it.

In addition to this time period, if he brought this matter up, the second and third children would definitely not be willing, and those censors would also use this to write a letter.

But when my son mentioned it, it was different.

Zhu Zhangui's deterrence in the court is no worse than that of the old man, and even in some cases, his deterrent effect is much stronger than that of the old man.

He had heard some gossip more than once, some people joked that the prince was the reincarnation of Emperor Hongwu, and he came back specially to continue to deal with those corrupt officials.

Raising his hand to pat the table, Zhu Pangpang said to his wife, "Okay, since you and your son both think so, then let's make a deal like this."

After finishing speaking, he personally took a pen to write down the notice, then stamped it with the imperial seal of the whole country, and let Lu Xin, the Minister of Rites who was waiting outside the door, come in, asked him to bring the notice, and asked several other departments to sign and seal it, and then directly announced world.

Soon, the notice was posted everywhere in the palace.

The women who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, seeing the new policy of changing the burial of living people to burial of Tao people, threw themselves on the ground and cried excitedly.

Soon groups of women came to the outside of Jiyan Hall and kowtowed inside to thank them.

There are the old man's women and Zhu Pangpang's concubines, and of course Zhu Zhangui's daughters-in-law are among them.

While the Ming Dynasty was mourning throughout the country and the women were happy because they didn't have to be buried, fierce battles were still going on in the West.

"Hurry up, hurry up... go up, go up."

On the battlefield where artillery fire was roaring, groups of Ming soldiers wearing white scarves were charging towards an Ottoman position against the frenzied shooting from the opposite side.

Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Pangpang discussed the follow-up battle plan last night, and in the morning, the court's decision was spread to the front.

Zhang Fu, who had taken over the command of all the legions on the East-West Front, directly ordered to continue the offensive. He demanded that all troops must take the eastern part of Ottoman to see the Supreme Emperor off before he entered the mausoleum.

The soldiers of the whole army were united as one, shouting in unison to take down the Eastern District to see off the Supreme Emperor, and aggressively launched an attack on the enemy
As soon as Dongfang raised his belly white, the battle started instantly.

Thousands of cannons fired wildly, and dozens of Shenlong rocket launchers roared and fired rockets.

For the first time, the Ottoman Legion guarding Ankara received the full attack of the Ming Army.

In the Auqiben guarded here, watching his own position being blown upside down, he closed his eyes in despair.

The difference in strength between the two is really too great. The current Osman fighting against Daming is like a young boy fighting a fully armed soldier with a wooden sword.

"Your Excellency Commander, the first position has been breached, and most of the guarding soldiers were killed."

"Report to Commander, the second line of defense is being bombarded by the opponent's airship. General An Razi requests to withdraw from the position."

"Let him defend and not retreat, tell them this is our land, and retreating is a betrayal of the empire."

Keeping his eyes fixed on the map, Aoqibenli coldly gave the order to stick to it.

The soldier opened his mouth, and finally bowed helplessly and retreated.

After the soldiers left, Ochbenli sat back on his chair, listening to the rumbling artillery and the deafening shouts outside, and gradually stared at the map with blank eyes.

The entire eastern part of the Ottoman region, starting from Constantinople, Nicaea in the west, Sivas in the east, and Tumena in the south, have all been occupied by the red color of Ming Dynasty.

The area currently owned by the Ottomans is only around Ankara and parts of the east.

Omurad has already left, and he has handed over all of this place to Ochben.

There is only one sentence to his request.

"Do your best to persevere until his rescue."

But in the current situation, Aoqibenli didn't know how to persevere, and he didn't even know if he could see the sun tomorrow.

When Omurad left, he gave him 8 troops. After several months of war, plus the conscripted civilians, he had less than 4 troops in his hands.

Moreover, there was still a shortage of weapons and ammunition, and many young men went to the battlefield with just a wooden stick.

And what about Daming on the opposite side.

In the east, there are nearly 10 elite legions that just conquered the Timur Empire. In the west of the Constantinople waters, there are the Marine Corps corps that are good at landing warfare, and the desperate Ming Navy.

The Golden Horde, which had just joined the Alliance of Allah in the north, had already been destroyed by the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers of the Ryazan Principality.

In the southern region, the soldiers of the Roco Kingdom led the Ming task force like dog legs to wipe out the last resistance force.

Looking at the menacing red arrows one by one, Ochbenli closed his eyes silently.

"Your Majesty, I really can't hold on anymore."

The sound of gunfire suddenly stopped, and there was a burst of staggering footsteps behind him.

Aoqibenli turned his head slowly and saw hundreds of Ottoman soldiers retreating here in embarrassment.

And behind them, a Ming soldier with a white scarf tied on his head, arm or waist, was holding a rifle and holding a bloody bayonet, pressing closely.

"finished?"

Looking at the soldiers who had already retreated to the headquarters, Aoqi muttered to himself, got up and went to the shelf next to him, and pulled out the flintlock pistol and knife.

He actually had a chance to retreat, and the north was still in the hands of the Ottoman army.

But what's the use of retreating there?

The entire Black Sea has become the Ming Dynasty's navy's bath tub, and the warships cruising on the sea are all flying the flag of Ming Dynasty.

Those without a ship retreated there. Apart from being bombarded to death by the Ming Navy one by one, the other option was to raise their hands and walk into the prisoner-of-war camp of the Ming Dynasty.

But will he surrender?

will not.

Others can surrender, but he cannot in Aoqiben.

Everything he has is given by His Majesty the King, and he must be worthy of His Majesty's training.

"Put down your weapons, and those who descend will not kill."

A roar sounded, and the Ming soldiers raised their guns and pointed at the retreating Ottoman soldiers, forcing the remnant Ottoman soldiers to surrender quickly.

"soldiers!"

"You are all the best warriors of the Ottomans. At this moment in the war, you have fulfilled your loyalty to the empire."

Walking out of Ochben, looking at the soldiers covered in scars but still holding their weapons tightly, a trace of unbearableness flashed in their eyes.

These people all have wives, children, and family members, but they brought them out by themselves, but they couldn't bring them back.

At this moment, he gave the soldiers their final choice.

"Now you can make your own choices and I won't interfere with you."

After speaking, under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers, he clenched his weapon tightly and rushed towards the Ming army with a roar.

"Bang bang bang..."

A burst of gunfire rang out, and Ochbenri, the best general of the Ottoman Empire, ended his life like this.

"Giggle cluck..."

Lying on the ground full of mud, water and blood, Oqibenli's eyes were wide open. At this moment, he saw his son again, the son who made him most proud.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

An officer roared angrily, and then rushed towards the Ming army like a lunatic.

"Fire!"

An order was issued, and fierce gunshots rang out crazily.

Bullets flew wildly, and an Ottoman soldier screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

When the last gunshot stopped, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

An officer stepped forward, raised his command knife, chopped off the head of Oqibenli, and held it up high.

"Roar!"

All the soldiers were like crazy lions, holding up their rifles and roaring loudly at the sky.

Like their Supreme Emperor, give a final farewell to their most respected person.

The death of Ochbenli also represented the end of the eastern region of the Ottoman Empire, the only main resistance force in the Ottoman Empire.

From this moment on, the eastern area of ​​Ottoman was completely occupied by Ming Dynasty.
