Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 359

The reason why the castle was valued by Zhu Zhanhe was mainly because of the historical Battle of Constantinople and its special geographical location.

If you really want to capture King's Castle, it's very simple. Just scatter the white phosphorus eggs and wait ten days and a half for the white phosphorus to disappear and then send someone to pick them up.

But that's not what Zhu Zhanhe wants.

What Zhu Zhanhe wanted was a castle with complete facilities, not a ruined post-war place. He didn't want to spend time rebuilding a place like the castle.

but!

Everything is subject to change, let alone such a struggle for supreme power.

Kingdom of Naples, Naples.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Naples, there is no doubt that it is prosperous, but what is hidden under the prosperous surface is hunger, chaos, and debauchery...

This is the religion in European history.

Royal Palace of Naples.

Frederick III looked at the blush on the face of Jeanne II in front of him, recalling the romantic affair just now.

However, as the ruler of the Kingdom of Sicily, what he is looking for today is not just a spring breeze, but for something bigger.

"How are you? What do you think?"

Seeing that Jeanne II in front of him seemed to be still immersed in the fierce battle just now, Frederick III couldn't help but give a reminder.

"You have to know that the people you want to unite with are not good people. I believe you have asked about what they have done before choosing to unite, so you should know what will happen after their iron hooves come to Southeast Europe. "

"At that time, it will no longer be an Eastern Roman Empire, nor will it be able to be satisfied by a Golden Horde. You and I will become food in their mouths."

"Although the possibility is extremely low, their leader is in Ankara at this time, so we are not without a chance."

"But what if it fails?" The blush on Jeanne II's face has not disappeared, but her tone has returned to normal.

"You should know the result of failure, and as a former..."

Jeanne II's words suddenly stopped. She couldn't find a suitable gift to describe her current role in the Kingdom of Naples.

A collaborator?It certainly doesn’t count. At least that’s not how the Ming Dynasty viewed the Kingdom of Naples.

A bitch?Saying this seems... a bit unpleasant.

However, after all, it was the monarch of a country, and Frederick III was very keenly aware of Jeanne II's thoughts.

Since you want to cooperate, you must consider it more or less from the other party's perspective.

"I know." Frederick III took the initiative to find an excuse for Jeanne II.

"Betrayal is not tolerated by the world, and people who betray just after cooperation is despised are even more despised."

"But we all know that everything is based on reality, and the decision is just a preliminary idea after weighing the pros and cons."

"Previously, Your Excellency had no choice. When facing this coming powerful enemy, since you are unable to resist, the best way is to unite in advance."

"But now, we have a way, so we don't have to choose a choice that is just a short-term peace, but in fact the results are worse."

"Then..." Jeanne II breathed a sigh of relief.

She was a lot more relaxed about Frederick III's proactive rescue, but this was not enough to dispel her concerns.

To put it simply, what she wants is tangible benefits, not a moment of spring breeze with Frederick III.

If she only wanted a moment of love, she would have a lover and an adopted son, and there would be no need for Frederick III to satisfy her, not to mention Frederick III's age...

"We are not afraid if we fail." Frederick III once again guessed Jeanne II's thoughts.

"Before coming to your place, I have already gone to the Principality of Milan and received a promise from the Pope. The Holy See will send a crusade when the time comes."

"Oh?" After hearing the word "Crusader", Jeanne II's eyes lit up.

"Did the Pope really say that!?"

"Of course it is true." Frederick III had already seen the dawn of an agreement, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's impossible to lie about this kind of thing. Even if I deceive you, won't this lie be self-defeating if you don't see the Crusaders when the troops are sent out?"

"Well..." Jeanne II lowered her head, as if she was having some kind of ideological struggle.

After a long time, Jeanne II raised her head, looked directly at Frederick III, and stretched out a hand.

Frederick III smiled knowingly, and the hands of both sides were tightly held together.

……

Not long after, Frederick III strode out of Jeanne II's palace, while Jeanne II saw him off with a smile.

but……

"Pooh!"

As Frederick III disappeared, Jeanne II spat fiercely on the ground.

"Old guy! If I didn't want to get greater sincerity that I can dedicate to Ming Dynasty, I wouldn't let you climb on me!"

However, after a brief moment of nausea, Jeanne II laughed grimly again.

"But it's okay. What you pay is just a little nausea. As for what you get..."

……

Along with Jeanne II's sinister smile, it seemed that the entire palace was filled with a cold atmosphere.

In fact, the difference between men and women is very big, and this difference is not only reflected in personality.

Although men usually ruled everything in the feudal era, even if women took that position like Jeanne II, most of them were not able to control and stabilize like men.

But I have to say that sometimes, women see things more clearly.

In other words, everyone can see clearly, but men cannot make correct decisions because of self-esteem, desire for power and various reasons, but women are different.

Just like the current Rangna II, in her opinion, she is always under someone's body anyway, so no matter who is under her body, it is the same.

Looking at the Holy Roman Empire, which appeared harmonious on the surface but was actually in disarray, Jeanne II felt that they might not be able to stop the Ming Dynasty's advance.

That crusader who conducted ten eastern expeditions in the last era and was known as the invincible?
Stop it!Let alone the Crusaders who have been corrupted like a pile of rotten wood by money, power and women, let’s just say that in the last era, after the Fifth Eastern Crusade, the Crusaders were no longer the original people who fought for faith. Crusaders organized themselves and fought for their faith.

Jeanne II did not think that these crusaders who had been hollowed out by wine and sex could resist the Ming Dynasty, which had advanced all the way to Astrakhan, the former capital of the Golden Horde.

In fact, they may no longer be able to wear the armor that once symbolized the glory of the Crusaders.

Think again about the Ming Dynasty, which was advancing all the way, killing decisively, and full of morale...

Jeanne II trembled violently, she felt as if she was a little wet...

……

Zhu Zhanhe, who was still in Ankara, didn't know that some people were already thinking about how to stop or even assassinate him. But what he probably didn't expect was that he had become someone else's sexual object.

Moreover, at this time, he was no longer in the mood to think about it so much, because he was reading a tip at this time.

This tip was sent by his brother Zhu Zhanqi in Xiangzhou Prefecture. The tip mainly mentioned two people.

Zhu Gaosui, Shi Jisun.

After all, there was something wrong with Second Sister Shi's departure, but if it really comes down to it, maybe Second Sister Shi can't be entirely blamed.

Of course, Second Sister Shi's responsibility cannot be escaped.

When he was in Shuntian Mansion before, Zhu Zhanhe had talked about the ocean with Zheng He, but he didn’t stay away from the Red Sea after arriving at Cissa and Adan as before, and headed south along Africa.

Instead, he entered the Red Sea, arrived at the Suez area where Mu's family was located, and fulfilled his wish to go to Mecca.

However, Zheng He's ocean voyage was bound to be accompanied by one thing, and that was Zhu Gaosui.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanhe used the mouths of the Empress Dowager Zhang and his cousin to issue an edict to make the final decision on King Zhao's rebellion.

The original edict said that Zhu Gaosui should go to the original land to search for new grains and continue to bring more new grain seeds to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was not the case.

Zhu Zhanhe's real plan was to ask Zheng He to send his good uncle to Australia before going to the Suez area.

For now, there is no need for Ming Dynasty to make another trip to South America. First of all, it has no sailing experience in South America. After all, the only three people with experience are Qian Yong, but it is obviously impossible for the three of them to follow Zheng He's fleet. of.

Secondly, South America cannot bring as much benefit to Ming Dynasty as stated in the edict.

Moreover, as a place of exile, Australia is more suitable than South America.

The Great Artesian Basin is world-famous, but few people know that the water in the Great Artesian Basin is so salty that livestock can drink it, but people cannot.

With Australia's topography and the capabilities of this era, there is very little land in Australia suitable for farming, and grazing is not that simple.

As a place of exile, it is just right.

However, by chance, here is an exiled Ming Dynasty vassal king, and the legitimate son of the Xuanwei envoy who was robbed of his inheritance rights by his sister.

As the saying goes, working in collusion, these two hit it off.

Of course, because of Zheng He's fleet, even if Shi Jisun wanted to unite with Zhu Gaosui, it would not be that simple. Moreover, he did not know that Zhu Gaosui was going to Australia at first.

You know, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanhe, Zhu Zhanhe and Zheng He knew Zhu Gaosui's final destination. If there were others, it was only the people who were on the ship.

But that was only after arriving in Australia and putting Zhu Gaosui down.

However, sometimes things just happen by chance. By chance, Qiaoer's mother opened the door for Qiaoer, and by chance, she was home.

When he arrived in Banjar, Zhu Gaosui fell ill due to acclimatization to the environment and wandering in the ocean.

After all, he was a vassal king. Although he was exiled, Zheng He's mission was to successfully send Zhu Gaosui to Australia, so he could only treat Zhu Gaosui.

After all, Zheng He was not ruthless enough and would not erase all possibilities like Zhu Zhanhe did, so the matter was spread and eventually reached the ears of Shi Jisun.

With a sigh, Zhu Zhanhe threw the secret letter into the tea stove and burned it.

In fact, he really wanted to throw his third uncle to Australia and stop caring about it, because in that case, even if his third uncle wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, he would not be able to do it in his lifetime.

But now, with the help of Shi Jisun, his third uncle has left Australia on the boat that Shi Jisun followed behind the ocean treasure fleet, and hid in Maguindanao (non-Shuibin).

"Come on."

I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Zhanhe finally made a decision.

"His Royal Highness." Upon hearing Zhu Zhanhe's call, Zhu Ling walked in.

"Call Sister Shi over here."

"Yes!"
