my days with tyrants

Ambassador Yang, who didn't know that there were spies hiding not far from him, was continuing to feel the loyalty of the loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, he had deliberately given Jianwen Chao a chance.

Before he set off on his expedition to the west, the second imperial examination after the reform had just ended, and more than 1000 new scholars from various places in Zhili had passed the examination.

Then he quickly entered the officialdom in various places.

After adding them, there are already a large number of new school officials in the imperial court's control area, whether the court or the local government, and the new school system in other provinces has also been completed. Gather in the capital, and then start their new imperial examination.For this new imperial examination and the subsequent arrival of new imperial scholars, the gentry from all over the place chose to be patient. After all, with the incident last time, they already knew very well that at least without external support, the gentry from these places alone could not resist.

Since you can't resist, just be patient.

And the control area of ​​the Jianwen Dynasty did not usher in the new round of loyalty they expected.

Originally, the Changsha gentry did have this kind of meaning, but the problem is that the Nanchang gentry retreated, and in this case, the Changsha gentry did not dare.

The Fujian gentry has clearly not mixed.

Zhejiang gentry, because of the developed coastal economy, although they don't like Yang Feng, it's not that they don't like Yang Feng's hands...

This hand is leading them to a golden future!
Down Yang?

They fell down and were beaten, who can save them?
As for the gentry in the north, there is no one involved at all. Needless to say, Shanxi, Shaanxi people are now focused on going west and making a fortune on the Silk Road. Peiping, Shandong, and Henan are all enjoying financial transfers from the south. Just invested 500 million guan.The demolition funds given by the people along the relocation, the material procurement funds for the construction of each sub-section command system, and the dredging funds for the water transport materials along the river along the way, etc., it can be said that the New Yellow River has been dug for less than ten miles in total, and the money scattered is already an order. Eye-popping numbers.

In the end, most of the money fell into the hands of the people in the three northern provinces, and the gentry in the three northern provinces must also account for the most.

The source of this money is the taxation of the southern provinces.

Of course, it is mainly Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian. Although 500 million Guan seems amazing, in fact, the combined taxes of the three prefectures of Su, Song and Chang are enough.

The prosperity of industry and commerce has kept the tax revenue of these three governments increasing.

Especially after Yang Feng ingeniously came up with the stamp duty, Guangsu Prefecture collected 50 stamps a year in stamp duty.

So even if they don't like Yang Feng anymore, the northern gentry know very well that any emperor would not have such a good thing for them. What benefits do they have when Jianwen comes to power? Could it be that without a powerful figure like Yang Feng, the southern provinces will endure this kind of thing? The act of giving their taxes to the northern gentry?Those who dare to do this must be a faint tyrant, and then fall into the water and die violently. Only Yang Feng has the ability to make the southern gentry pay taxes honestly because of despair. In order to continue this good life, the gentry in the three northern provinces will not Upside down.

Even whoever defeated Yang was still their enemy.

It doesn't matter whether or not the other few remote people are upside down.

In fact, they won't fail Yang. After all, even the Mu family has no motivation at this time. They can already become as rich as an enemy just relying on copper and tin mines.

Down Yang?

How can mining be so important!
So so far, those who dared to rebel have already rebelled, and the rest are those who dare not rebel, at least under normal circumstances, so Yang Feng can only give them the opportunity to the maximum...

If Jianwen goes to the capital, or even surrounds the capital, they can't stop rebelling, right?
It has to be said that Ambassador Yang has gone to the point of insanity in order to test the loyalty of officials and gentry from all over the Ming Dynasty to the Queen.

If they are still loyal to the queen like this, then there is no need to bother.

Even this can be tolerated, and it is estimated that if he really implements the reform of the public land law, they will also tolerate it. It has to be said that he is testing the tolerance of the Ming gentry time and time again.

As for whether Jianwen can reach the capital...

This is very easy.

After all, they are almost arriving in Nanchang now, as long as Nanchang welcomes Master Wang, it is really easy to go to the capital.

And just when Ambassador Yang, who was full of expectations for Jianwen, was enjoying the dance full of Western Regions in the mansion of Commander Aduanwei, drinking wine and eating roast lamb, Zhu Di was sitting quietly on the distant Erzincan battlefield. Jing looked at the Ottomans who were constantly dying on the battlefield.The camel city commanded by Qiu Fu was in the center of the battlefield, and around them were the Ottomans who were advancing one after another. Bayezid, who had lost two games in a row, finally dispatched his most elite Kapkuru cavalry.

The Janissaries were infantrymen of the Praetorian Guard.

Kapkuru is an armored cavalry soldier directly under the Sultan like Yenicheri.

As for the duel between the Sipahi cavalry and Tutuo lost...

At this time, Sipahi was either equipped cavalry or well-equipped ordinary cavalry. They were originally fief knights led by pashas from all over the country, but the fiefs were not hereditary, and the next generation needed to use military merit to obtain them, but they were not directly under the sultan. Yes, the ones directly under the Sudan are the Kapkuru and Yeniceri of the Janissaries. As for the Sipahi cavalry, they were heavily armored in the middle and late fifteenth century, and it was only [-]!
These feudal cavalry are indeed the elite of the Ottomans, but even if they are elite, they are useless against the barbarians on the Siberian wasteland.

It will be even more terrifying when the barbarians are all wearing the best armor and holding the best weapons.

In the end, Sipahi still couldn't bear the ferocity of the latter, and ended the battle by conceding defeat and retreating. Then Bayezid had no choice but to go to Kapkuru.

but……

"Your Highness, your victory is inevitable."

said the Armenian prince, laughing like a dog wagging its tail.

Zhu Di smiled.

And on the battlefield in front of them, in the yellow sand all over the sky, the Kapkuru cavalry wearing chain plate armor, carrying a large plate on their chests, slender pointed helmets on their heads, and feathers on them, are struggling in the hell of firepower, and they The Arabian horses with full horse armor on their crotch screamed and fell down amidst the whistling of bullets and shells.The protection on their bodies was useless at all. The bullets from the magic guns easily penetrated their strongest chest plates, and even one or two cannonballs from rapid-fire guns easily penetrated the multiple layers of chain armor on their bodies. Then disrupt their charge formation.

However, as the most elite guard cavalry in Sudan, these soldiers who were actually captive Christians were still moving forward desperately.

They are slaves and blood tax soldiers.

There is no right to retreat.

These fearless cavalry finally rushed through the fire interception, but then they were greeted by the grenades of the grenadiers and the rockets of the rockets.

The explosion of grenades, the screaming of rockets in the ears, and the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield finally crushed the nerves of the horses first. After all, livestock do not know what military law is. They all turned around and tried to get away from this horrible fire and gunpowder.The Kapkuru cavalry who could not stop them could only do their best to turn them to the flanks to avoid colliding with their companions in the rear, but then they rushed into the fire traps on both sides of the camel city.

The frantically fleeing war horse neighed and fell down amidst the whistling of bullets and shells.

Those Kapukuru cavalrymen who fell off their horses could still get up, and they still rushed towards the camel city like crazy. The Kapukuru cavalrymen who had realized that they could not rush through on horseback also got off their horses one after another, holding their round shields in one hand, With their battle axes in one hand, they frantically rushed to Camel City.But the dense formation made the artillery in Tuocheng cheaper. Two-jin shells were stuffed into the barrels of field guns, and then hit these soldiers with powerful kinetic energy. Even if it was actually equivalent to a three-pound gun, it was not human bear.

The howling shells shot out stumps and broken arms.

Even a shell can create a bloody alley, causing more than a dozen people to fall in blood and flesh.

And those who finally rushed to the front of the formation faced the shooting of short flintlocks. They didn't need to let the long swordsmen go forward to deal with infantry.

The short gun is also one or two bullets.

According to the bullets weighing more than 30 grams in modern units, even plate armor can't carry them at close range.

Zhu Di used a high-powered lens to admire Bayezid in the distance. At this time, the Lightning Sultan was furiously pushing the general next to him. Obviously, the latter was trying to persuade him to let Kapkuru retreat. After all, these elite guards They are really precious, any one of them has been trained since childhood, but the Sultan, who can't afford to lose, obviously can't accept this result, even if all these elite soldiers die on the battlefield, he can't lose another game.

They must attack.

attack!

Attack again!
And Kapkulu has already rushed to the camel city, but the Ming army's cold weapon fighting ability in the camel city is just as powerful.

Those heavily armored tin cans directly swung their sabers at them.

In practice, however, such fights are rare.

After all, the flintlock muskets at the back reloaded very quickly. Just as the Kapkuru soldiers were hacking and killing each other with the Ming grenadiers with the desire for victory, the nearest short musketman pulled the trigger to end everything. A mind full of belief in gods, the most rigorous training since childhood, and even learning a variety of languages, familiar with all kinds of cold weapons to fight, and the elites who are likely to become imperial officials, are just like this with despair being crushed one by one. Double bullets end their lives...

"Yang Feng is right. The era of knights is over. The most powerful martial arts and the most courageous fighting spirit are ultimately no match for a single bullet. Even if you give a woman a magic weapon, let her learn it in a few days. Reloading aiming at pulling the trigger, she can also kill a fierce general in full body armor.

Mines, factories, mobilization capabilities, and logistical supplies, these are the keys to victory in the future. "

Zhu Neng sighed beside him.

Zhu Di was silent.

He knew that Zhu Neng was just reminding him to stop worrying about the Ming throne and forget about this dream. The industry and population of Daming in the age of firearms crushed everything.

The Kapkuru soldiers continued their bloody battle, or were almost unilaterally killed.

Until now, they have killed less than thirty Ming soldiers, but less than half of the thousand Kapkuru soldiers are left.

Most of them died outside the camel city.

The dead bodies of people and horses everywhere made the remaining Kapkuru soldiers who were still moving forward like suicide look extraordinarily sad.

And the Ming army in Camel City encountered such an opponent for the first time.

They obviously also looked at the enemy who was dying in front of them with complicated eyes. They also knew that these were indeed the most brave soldiers. , but the problem is that now I can easily reap their brave and fearless lives as long as I simply pull the trigger. This kind of strong contrast makes these soldiers of the Ming army who can also be equally brave feel a little embarrassed.

"Attack, attack across the board!"

Zhu Di said suddenly.

Zhu Neng saluted immediately, and then waved the signal flag.

In the sky above them, under the hot air balloons, the orderlies also waved signal flags.

"kill!"

Muli, who had been waiting for a long time, was the first to roar.

Immediately afterwards, his Yuebei Army began to attack the Serbs in front like an erupting torrent.

At the same time, the Kipchak Legion, which got lost, also began to move forward.

Then there is Kuntimur's Zhao Sheng Army, as Zhu Di's central army, they rushed straight to the Ottoman central army. They rushed straight from both sides of the camel city, and directly submerged the last few hundred Kapkulu soldiers. Disappeared under the trampling of ten thousand horses with ease like relief.The Black Sheep Turkmen and Jalayir cavalry also rushed towards their old rival, the Aries Turkmen, but the Aries Turkmen, whose morale was extremely low, started to flee without hesitation. There was no suspense about the outcome of this war. Although they were the ones who started the war, they had no interest in burying Bayezid with him.

They are nomads, even if they can't stay here, it's a big deal to go elsewhere.

The Mamluks, who are also Sunnis, will accept them.

Just surrender.

The escape of the Aries Turkmen dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the Ottomans, and then the Beys took their men and began to flee.

Surprisingly, the Serbs did not flee.

Of course, the main reason is that they have no place to escape. Aries Turkmen can escape, because the Mamluks behind them accept them, and the Beys can also escape. Their territory is in the mountains of the Anatolian Plateau behind. Go back and see the situation Besides, how can the Serbs run away? Their home is in the Balkans, with the Bosporus behind them.

Bayezid, who was still fighting fiercely with the Zhao Holy Army with the Capkuru cavalry and the Yeniceri infantry, looked at those cowards and traitors furiously.

But soon he couldn't care less about the rage.

This was a battle of more than 15 people on both sides, especially since both sides had a large number of cavalry, and the entire battlefield soon became chaotic.

"Keep an eye on Bayezid, I'll make him kneel at my feet."

Zhu Di said.

Of course, this kind of battle does not require him to participate in the battle.

In fact, even the camel city cavalry had withdrawn, and they protected King Yan in the middle.
