Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 381 Our Big Brother

It's night, the City Lord's Mansion.

As a place that was able to hold on until it was taken down now, Burgas has to be said to be quite powerful. Even the city lord's palace has three floors.

Sitting on the balcony on the third floor, Zhu Zhanhe looked at the Black Sea in the distance.

But in fact, the Black Sea at night lived up to its name. It was really dark. In addition, the dark clouds covered the moon tonight, and the reflections of stars on the sea in the past could not be seen.

all black.

He had known about Arip's arrival for a long time. After all, his father had sent someone to deliver a message, but Arip's surrender bargaining chip still caught Zhu Zhanhe off guard.

In his original plan, this time he would mobilize the fleet that had previously stayed in the Istanbul Strait, that is, the fleet that appeared at the Black Sea mouth of the Istanbul Strait when the Holy See's Crusaders attacked the Castle.

That fleet was actually newly formed by Zhu Zhanhe. The ships used were all newly built and launched at Heraclea, the port of Genoa.

This is why neither the crusaders at the time, Duke Rene of the Kingdom of Naples, nor the people in the Castle knew how this fleet entered the Black Sea.

It was manufactured and organized directly in the Black Sea, couldn't they see it?
However, what Zhu Zhanhe is thinking about right now is not about these, but about the enemy he has to face.

Ali Pu, he can use this person, but he will not believe it. He plans to let Qian Yong take Ali Pu to stop the Golden Horde and avoid the Golden Horde from causing trouble to him.

After all, even when a lion fights a rabbit, he needs all his strength.

And he was wondering whether to do something he shouldn't do.

It has started to snow now, and fighting in winter is a taboo, not to mention the lower winter temperatures during the Little Ice Age.

Although the supplies of the Ming army are sufficient now, and there is no shortage of cotton clothes or anything else, all the supplies are transferred from Xiangzhou Prefecture and Nanzhou Prefecture to the Suez area, and then transported here from the Suez area.

Once something goes wrong, the impact will be huge.

But facing one of the eight greatest robbers in history, who later became the so-called Big Brother of flower growers, Zhu Zhanhe was a little reluctant and a little impatient.

When it comes to the Grand Duchy of Mosk, including the future Tsarist State, the Soviet Union (you all know it) and even the final Mao, probably the vast majority of Han people still think of the big brother, a good person who helps us when we are weak.

But in fact, everything is nothing more than benefits.

Yes, Mao Xiong gave us a lot of assistance back then, but all that was based on the premise that their relationship with the Japanese country was on bad terms, and they needed our help to drag the Japanese country away.

As for why I say this, the reason is that it was in 37.

37 years was the first year that the Japanese began to kill rabbits. It was also in that year that we signed a non-aggression agreement with the Mao Xiong, and the Mao Xiong began to help us.

But even with aid, they never teach us many core things.

Later, in 41, Mao Xiong and Footbath signed a non-aggression agreement. At the same time, Mao Xiong's assistance to us also stopped.

But that's not the most important thing!
The most important thing is that after the agreement between Mao Xiong and Foot Basin was signed, they both made a joint statement, recognizing the existence of Manchuria and the independence of the place on the rooster's back.

In addition, there is also the Yar (River Crab) Tower agreement that Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok and the like were all ripped off from us by them with their big bear mouths!

In Zhu Zhanhe's opinion, such things as Big Brother, assistance, and alliances are all nonsense. In fact, in the final analysis, it is the consistency of interests that brings the two sides together temporarily.

It is precisely because of knowing this that Zhu Zhanhe has no good impression of this so-called big brother.

Even among the eight robbers back then, this big brother was still the leader!It is the absolute main force!
"His Royal Highness..."

Zhu Sanfeng's voice sounded, and Zhu Zhanhe turned around and saw Zhu Sanfeng walking over with a piece of dinner.

After meeting Alipu, Zhu Zhanhe neither ate nor drank water.

Zhu Sanfeng served the meal, and Zhu Zhanhe buried his head in eating. No one asked or answered.

Everything is so natural.

As one of the people who followed Zhu Zhanhe the longest, Zhu Sanfeng might not know what Zhu Zhanhe was thinking, but he could guess something.

She couldn't guess Zhu Zhanhe's innermost thoughts, but she could guess some of Zhu Zhanhe's future actions.

At least, from the moment the Crown Prince's guards were sent out, some things were already doomed.

Back then, in the Japanese country, Zhu Zhanhe became the true god of death, and the Mu family army also became a terrifying existence.

Zhu Sanfeng knew that Zhu Zhanhe might repeat what he did at that time this time.

However, until now, she still doesn't understand what Zhu Zhanhe's inner standards are, because in her opinion, Zhu Zhanhe seems to be neurotic.

In Indochina and the Delhi Sultan, although Zhu Zhanhe also went on a killing spree, he only killed the ruling class, officials and nobles, those who would affect the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Zhu Zhanhe did not take any action against civilians. One of the manifestations of this is that Ah San has now been absorbed into the Ming army to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

But after that, in the Timurid Empire, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly began to sift and kill people. Although those who remained after the sift also died, that was after they were sent to dig canals.

But now, Zhu Zhanhe once again issued the so-called "light" order in the country of Wa.

Zhu Sanfeng couldn't understand it at all.

"Stop guessing." Zhu Zhanhe wiped his mouth, seeming to have guessed what Zhu Sanfeng was thinking.

"There are some things, just do them. You don't have to think about why. That's not what you need to think about."

"Yes." Zhu Sanfeng lowered his head.

This was the first time that Zhu Zhanhe took a slightly scolding tone when talking to her.

She didn't know that there were some things she would never guess, and Zhu Zhanhe would not allow her to explore them.

Not just her, not anyone.

"Go tell Qian Yong." Putting down his chopsticks, Zhu Zhanhe leaned on the back of his chair and closed his eyes slightly.

"Tomorrow, give him 3 men and follow Arip to the Syr Darya River. My requirements are not high, as long as I can capture Astrakhan."

"Yes!" Zhu Sanfeng's heart trembled, and he lowered his head in response.

Astrakhan is a place that Zhu Zhanhe had pushed to the year before last. It was the former capital of the Golden Horde, and the current capital of the Golden Horde is Sarai in the north of Astrakhan.

Is Astrakhan important?Very important!

By capturing Astrakhan, the Ming army had a real foothold and a bridgehead for advancing north, because Sarai was in the middle and lower reaches of the Volga River, and Astrakhan joined the Volga River. At the mouth of the Caspian Sea.

But in reality, Astrakhan is not particularly important either.

The Caspian Sea is an inland sea. In this era, the Don-Volga River Canal has not yet been opened. Although the Caspian Sea is called a sea, it is actually a huge inland lake.

If it is not connected, the Ming fleet cannot enter. Going north through the Volga River to attack Sarai is only a theoretical possibility, but in fact it is pure nonsense.

Therefore, if you want Astrakhan to play its role, you need to capture another place so that Astrakhan can coordinate with it.
