Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 368 God's Whip
For any army, it is not a good thing to disobey the command or even disobey the order of the top general.

However, as the saying goes, the anode must be yin, and the yin and yang of everything are balanced. Once the balance is not balanced, it is very likely to lead to the exact opposite situation.

There is a difference between people, and the difference is very big. Sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.

There were actually three groups of soldiers brought by Zhu Zhanhe. The first group should undoubtedly be the guards of Zhu Zhanhe's crown prince.

At that time, Emperor Taizong approved the establishment of three guard stations for him. Not to mention that this was already a very high standard among the vassal kings who were being cut down again and again. As a prince, he got the guard station. As of now, he is the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe attaches great importance to the guards of his three guardhouses, and everyone who can enter them has been screened at all levels.

From personal abilities to family background to three generations of ancestors, everything is within the scope of the review to ensure that everyone is loyal to Zhu Zhanhe. In addition to the review, there will be two reviews a year when there is no war. If there is a war, there will be two reviews. once.

The second group of people are the soldiers of Uzangdu Division.

Since the beginning of Zhu Zhanhe's southern expedition to the Indochina Peninsula, these soldiers of Uzzandusi have been following him.

In fact, it can be said that these people were traded here at the beginning. Wu Zangdusi was for the food of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Zhanhe was for the sources of soldiers.

Later, Daming, or it should be said that King Wu's lineage, provided assistance to Uzangdusi every year as usual, and even increased year by year.

Although it is not a lot, the increase is an increase, and this does not include the rewards of the Uszangdusi officers and soldiers after achieving military exploits.

Because of this, these soldiers have been following Zhu Zhanhe almost all year round, but the number has increased from more than 16 to more than [-], and they are divided into two batches, rotating every year.

The last group was the group of Asans.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe initially went looking for these Ah Sans with the idea of ​​finding some cannon fodder, but unexpectedly, even though he was born with discrimination against Ah San, Zhu Zhanhe had to admit that these Ah Sans were real. Can fight.

In fact, people are all very different. As long as the right method is used, a coward can become a reckless man.

Money, food, and beauties were what Asans liked most. Zhu Zhanhe was famous for his generosity. After every war, he would not treat his soldiers badly in terms of rewards or trophies.

But it was precisely because of this that Zhu Zhanhe was able to deal with them calmly when they openly disobeyed the military orders.

He liberated them, who were oppressed by the upper castes under the caste system, and gave them food and money, so they worked hard for themselves.

Later, he was even more practical. Except for the food and money he initially gave them, he did not skimp on or withhold any necessities and rewards related to the war.

Still the same sentence: He is the best at raising dogs, and in Zhu Zhanhe's opinion, raising Asan is much easier than raising a dog.

King's Palace.

Zhu Zhanhe lay on the bed that only King John VIII could lie on before, and stretched comfortably.

I have to say, these white pigs really enjoy themselves.

In fact, compared with the East and the West, the nobles in the West are better at enjoying themselves, because the East is greatly influenced by Confucianism, and even some emperors who are greedy for pleasure are not particularly excessive.

A posthumous name and an iron-clad historical record are enough to scare many people.

But the West doesn't care about this, because in their view, this is what they call freedom.

Getting up from the bed, Zhu Zhanhe got dressed and walked out of the room under the service of the maids who originally served John VIII.

Zhu Zhanhe went out with his front legs, and Zhu Sanfeng walked in with his back legs, taking away the naked women on the bed.

Here, Zhu Zhanhe has very strict standards for food, clothing, housing and transportation, even far exceeding the original standards of the royal family.

In terms of food, the cooks were all brought when he went on expeditions. When he was in the Central Plains and Xiangzhou Prefecture, although Zhu Zhanhe was tested for poison before eating, it was only once, but here he had to go through three poison tests. In the end, it was brought to Zhu Zhanhe.

The reason is self-evident.

After all, there is probably no one in the whole of Europe who doesn't want Zhu Zhanhe to die suddenly.

Not to mention what he was wearing, Zhu Zhanhe was not used to wearing European clothes of this era. He brought them all from home, mainly because of the special aspect of his residence.

It is said that it is a place to live, but in fact it is not a place to live, or it should be said that it is not just a place to live.

After all, Zhu Zhanhe is an adult man and will definitely have needs. Moreover, he had observed filial piety for the old man for 27 months, basically strictly following the rules of filial piety.

Now that the filial piety period has been more than half a year, he will naturally not continue to be an ascetic like before.

It's not that he doesn't respect the old man, but the dead are gone, and the living have to move on.

Zhu Zhanhe is relatively restrained in this regard. After all, he doesn't want to die early, and this matter is also quite troublesome here.

Here, everything that can be delivered to Zhu Zhanhe's bed is unopened. This is not because of poverty, but because Zhu Zhanhe has repeatedly requested this.

Europe is too dirty and messy.

This can be seen from the red ribbon (everyone knows what the disease is).

Red ribbon disease has limited modes of transmission, mainly blood-borne, mother-to-child and sexual transmission.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't know much about this disease. He just knew that the disease was first discovered in orangutans, so it was more interesting.

Diseases in orangutans cannot be transmitted from mother to child, and blood transmission is almost impossible, so there is only one transmission route left.

Zhu Zhanhe is very afraid of death, and he doesn't want all his descendants to suffer from this disease, not to mention that in Europe now, this disease is far from the only danger.

"How's the collection of Crusader armor going?"

After leaving the room and washing up, Zhu Zhanhe started to eat breakfast. While eating, he asked Zhu Ling beside him.

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, we are currently able to collect about one-third. Although it has not stopped, both generals Jian Xiao and Qian Yong believe that it may not be necessary to continue."

"Well..." Zhu Zhanhe nodded thoughtfully.

The breakthrough of King's Castle is very easy. After all, no matter how strong the fortress is, as long as there is a hole, it will collapse sooner or later.

But in comparison, the Crusaders were in some trouble.

It's not that the Crusaders were so fierce that they were difficult for the soldiers of the Ming Army to handle. In fact, in comparison, those Crusaders may not be as brave as the people in the castle.

Knowing that there was no hope of victory, everyone in the castle was still determined to fight to the death, but those Crusaders who had been corrupted by desire did not have that determination.

Even though they knew that the chance of escaping was less than [-]%, they still did not give up. They had long-distance attack methods such as short crossbows and artillery. In addition, they were on the sea, and the Ming army wanted to capture them alive. It's really not easy.

In the end, it was Zhu Zhanhe who made the decision and used the white phosphorus eggs, which eliminated the group of crusaders in one fell swoop, but at the cost of losing any loot.

After winning, Zhu Zhanhe immediately asked Jian Xiao to lead people to salvage. It was not to salvage trophies such as money, grain and grass, because those things were of no use after being salvaged, as they had been burned by white phosphorus eggs.

What Zhu Zhanhe wanted was the Crusader's armor.

In this era, in Europe, the upper class controlled belief, and then controlled the people below through belief.

And now?

Next to the gates in the four directions of the castle, there are pairs of Crusader armors that represent the so-called glory.

Attacking cities, seizing territory, killing people, and plundering are not Zhu Zhanhe's real goals. His real purpose is to kill people, and also to pierce people's hearts.

Only by starting from the perspective of faith, that is, starting from the foundation, can Europe be completely defeated and the wings of the West be broken.

After all, from the background of the times and the development of human history, faith is often accompanied by ignorance and superstition.

There is no need to say more about the East. Everyone knows that the West is represented by the Dark Middle Ages.

But in Zhu Zhanhe's view, faith is a good thing. If used well, he can make the whole of Europe the soil that supports the Ming Dynasty, and also make these white pigs like fanatical believers in the Holy See, using money, land, food, Women...even their lives are dedicated.

Zhu Zhanhe now feels that killing people is meaningless. Isn't this more interesting than killing people?
For Zhu Zhanhe, this is a long-term plan, and it cannot be completed overnight.

But fortunately, he still has time now, and he has never told anyone about this plan. For now, it is just an idea.

For Zhu Zhanhe, this kind of thing is not actually an expansion of territory, nor is it a liquidation. It can only be classified as his personal bad taste, a cat's teasing behavior after catching a mouse.

But cats have a characteristic, that is, they will play for a while, but will not let their prey escape.

The same goes for Zhu Zhanhe.

If you can play, then play. But if you can't play, or things are about to get out of control, then it is better to use the simplest and most efficient method.

However, I don't know what the European rulers will think and what actions they will take after knowing Zhu Zhanhe's thoughts.

However, Zhu Zhanhe doesn't think they can stir up any trouble. This problem can be seen from now on.

Watching the Crusaders sent by the Holy See and the Eastern Roman Empire end up like this, the European countries did not make any move.

For Europe now, resources have been almost allocated, which is one of the main reasons for the Age of Discovery in the near future.

For Daming...

They never thought that Zhu Zhanhe could do what Genghis Khan could not do. In their view, the whip of God only had two and a half: Attila, Temujin and the half-dead Timur.

Neither the ruler nor the Holy See believed that Zhu Zhanhe would be the new whip of God.
