Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 262 Spanning 500 years, similar buildings

The Timur Empire... no, it should be said that Shaharul sent troops anyway.

Although he hasn't figured out why Zhu Zhanhe did this, although he hasn't figured out how Zhu Zhanhe did it, even though he hasn't figured out Zhu Zhanhe's ultimate goal...

But one thing he is sure of: if he does not send troops again, he will be a sinner in the history of Timur's empire.

Even though... Timur's empire has only lasted for three generations so far, and he is not yet the third generation to inherit.

From Yulongjiech, Bukhara and Tashkent, Shaharul reluctantly gathered a hundred thousand troops and marched towards Balihei.

However, no one could have imagined that a natural disaster was approaching Timur's empire.

……

Barry Black.

Unlike the last time in Kabul, Zhu Zhanhe did not rush forward this time.

Sitting on the second floor of the former residence of the Lord of Bali City, Zhu Zhanhe leaned on the railing and looked at a building not far away.

What was done there?Zhu Zhanhe didn't know, but he knew there was a new name there now.

Hualou.

After the Ming army stationed, it became the busiest place. From Chenshi to Choushi, the laughter and laughter there never stopped.

At first, Zhu Zhanhe just wanted to use this method to alleviate the desires of the juniors and even the soldiers, but unexpectedly, this flower building turned into a shelter.

Ever since they learned that people can exchange for food, even if they know that it is only a drop in the bucket, and even if they know that they will starve after eating the food, people in Balihei and even all surrounding areas are rushing here.

For those victims, sending their daughters, wives and even mothers here not only provides them with food, but also reduces their mouths to eat.

For them, having less mouths means more hope of living.

Zhu Zhanhe also didn't expect that his initial whim would eventually lead to him becoming the largest bustard in Timur's empire...

Well, this is not a good statement. He is not an old woman. It should be said that he is the boss behind the largest flower house in Timur's empire.

However, he came here not for Huahualou, but for fighting, to expand territory, and for revenge.

Besides, Timur's empire is now in a state of depression, and more than [-] to [-] percent of the people have problems surviving. Who has the heart to come here for prostitution?

People who have the mind and financial resources to be prostitutes will not be cheating in Bali. Even if they were, they would all be killed by Zhu Zhanhe.

When he goes to war, he always wants to get rid of the ruling class and the aristocracy first.

"Is there any news from Jian Xiao?"

Zhu Zhanhe lay on the railing, without turning his head, and directly asked Zhu Sanfeng next to him.

"Not yet." Zhu Sanfeng lowered his head.

Zhu Zhanhe's dispatch of troops this time was not straightforward, he also arranged a second line, which was Jian Xiao.

He personally led his army into the Timurid Empire from the upper reaches of the Indus River, while Jian Xiao set out from Xiangzhou Prefecture, took the sea route to Khrumos, then went north from Khrumos, and finally met Zhu Zhanhe.

Jian Xiao's line was, firstly, to ensure that Zhu Zhanhe would not be criticized during the Western Expedition, and secondly, it could be developed into a supply route.

Now the territory of the Timurid Empire is in a depression, and there are mouths waiting to be fed everywhere. It is a bit difficult to support war with war.

Almost only by capturing a city and obtaining the food and grass in the city can the supply effect be achieved.

As for fighting and robbing like before in the Japanese country, it is simply impossible. Now the people in Timur's empire have no food at all. They now have nothing but their own bodies.

As for those driven by peptide merchants…

There are still many people in Youpei now, and they are from all walks of life, from merchants to slaves. Merchants are a very small group.

Besides, for these businessmen, they can be found wherever there is money to be made.

If there's no money to be made... they won't come.

"Are there any victims heading this way now?"

Thoughts were flying in the sky for a while, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and looked at Zhu Sanfeng.

"Yes!" Zhu Sanfeng's expression suddenly became serious.

"Previously, we killed a lot of people in Kabul, but strictly speaking, we did not kill them. So although the incident was spread, it turned out to be the victims of the disaster in order to snatch the few relief grains. die."

"Now, we have captured Balihei. It is located on the Amu Darya River and is the beginning of the great plain at the foot of the mountain. It is a famous and prosperous place with eight villages and towns."

"After learning that we had captured Balihei and opened warehouses for disaster relief, a large number of victims were rushing towards us."

"and……"

……

"Huh? And what?" Zhu Zhanhe turned his head with some confusion when he didn't hear the follow-up.

"Shaharu has gathered an army of [-] people and is heading towards us. On the way, he met the victims who were fleeing from around Samarkand towards Balihe."

Zhu Sanfeng's expression was a bit exciting. Obviously she didn't expect things to develop like this.

"When they knew that Shaharul was gathering troops to attack us, and because they had not received relief from the Timurid Empire in Samarkand, the angry victims attacked Shaharul's army..."

"Tsk tsk..." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head with sigh.

"It's really brave..."

Attacking the army is something that is difficult to imagine. After all, the result is almost obvious.

This also shows that the disaster that Timur's empire encountered was unprecedented. Otherwise, the victims would not attack the army if they had a chance to survive.

but……

"Your Highness, you may..." The expression on Zhu Sanfeng's face became even stranger.

"I got distracted..."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanhe hadn't recovered yet, and looked at Zhu Sanfeng in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

"It's about the disaster victims attacking the army..." The expression on Zhu Sanfeng's face was almost entangled, and it was really hard to explain in words.

"The victims...won..."

"What the hell?" Zhu Zhanhe was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

But soon, he calmed down.

It's true...

Why is the theory of Zhou Shui so reasonable?Because what it says is the truth.

The people are the foundation, and the army is also composed of the people. When the whole Timur empire was suffering from disasters, the army still had to go out to fight.

Although they are attacking enemies, their enemies have opened warehouses to provide disaster relief, but what about their rulers?

Those who should be singing and singing every night are still singing and singing every night, and those who should be living in drunken dreams and dying are still sleeping in drunken dreams and dying.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the army would have been very low, and according to Zhu Sanfeng, the victims who attacked the army probably did not attack the army out of anger, but to survive.

When the army goes on an expedition, it must have food and grass.

So to sum up, there are two points: first, the army comes from the common people, so the desire to fight is not high; second, there are too many disaster victims and they are angry.

"This is really interesting..." Zhu Zhanhe laughed.

"If the order goes down, we will stop accepting the victims."

"Pause?" Zhu Sanfeng frowned, but quickly figured it out.

Taking this opportunity to put another bundle of straw on Shaharul's shoulders may not be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but it can greatly speed up the process.

……

What Zhu Zhanhe did had little impact on the surrounding areas of Balihei, but it had a great impact on Samarkand.

Unable to find a way out, the victims could only go to their rulers. The victims who had flocked to Balihei began to turn around and head towards Samarkand.

For Zhu Zhanhe, this is actually nothing. He brought 10 people with him on this trip. This number seems to be a lot, but for cross-border operations, this number is really nothing.

This is especially true when supply lines have not yet been established.

Before Jian Xiao established a mature and stable supply line, Zhu Zhanhe did not plan to continue advancing, because the disaster of Timur's empire had just begun.

The potato harvest, the staple food of Timur's empire, has failed. This situation will not get better immediately, but will advance in a bad direction for a period of time before slowly getting better.

Of course, the premise is that the ruler is also working hard for it and it must be effective.

However, as the old saying goes: a house leaks only when it rains all night, and a broken boat always encounters a headwind.

This sentence is quite appropriate when applied to the current Timur Empire.

……

Still Balhei.

Zhu Zhanhe stood on the top of the city, stretched out his right hand, trying to catch a snowflake falling from the sky, but his hot body temperature prevented the snowflake from staying even for a moment and melted instantly.

"His Royal Highness..."

Zhu Sanfeng came behind Zhu Zhanhe, his face full of worry.

Zhu Zhanhe sighed softly.

He knew what Zhu Sanfeng was worried about. It was only September, and it snowed in September. Even during the Little Ice Age, it was still a little abnormal.

What's more, it's only the early days of the Little Glacier.

"Second order, we can no longer support idle people. The land to the east outside the city is quite good. Let the victims go to work and build a big house."

"Build a house?" Zhu Sanfeng didn't react at all.

"Is it for them to escape the severe cold?"

"So be it." Zhu Zhanhe nodded, with a smile on his face.

"It's also used to avoid the cold...in a sense..."

"Oh, right……"

Zhu Zhanhe turned around, pointed below, and said, "Go and ask if there is anyone who knows how to carve, and ask them to carve a plaque."

"Plaque?" Zhu Sanfeng was confused again. She now felt that her thinking was increasingly unable to keep up with Zhu Zhanhe's.

"Okay, I'll go down and ask in a moment, but what words should be engraved?"

"As for the words..." Zhu Zhanhe raised his head and looked at the falling snowflakes in the air, his voice became a little unreal.

"Just call it, Land of Nothingness..."

"A place of nothingness..."

Zhu Sanfeng murmured, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what the special meaning of these four words was.

"Understood, I'll do it now."

……

Zhu Zhanhe always felt that the land of nothingness was quite good, but the land of nothingness in later generations was in Berlin, and Zhu Zhanhe felt that this place was not good.

As a museum and a memorial hall, it should be built on the ancestral land of the people it commemorates.

What's the point of that in Berlin?
It's just that this memorial hall is easy to talk about, just let people build one, but where to get the iron mask under this memorial hall?

Some people in later generations said that the iron masks in the Land of Nothingness were made of bullet casings that had been shot at the Peptide Man. Whether true or false, Zhu Zhanhe could not make them.

Not to mention the bullet casing that was shot at Youpide Ren, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't even replace it with ordinary iron.

During the war, how could there be time to smelt steel?

However, since we can't find the bullet casings that were fired at You Peptide Man, and we don't have time to replace them with other steel, can we use a simpler and more effective method to replace them?
For example, bones?
