Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 401 The Newborn Calf
There is nothing to say about the affairs of the Principality of Athens. It is already a waste of time, and coupled with its lack of strength, it is really a training existence.

But sometimes, no matter how well you plan, you can't prevent accidents from happening.

And this kind of accident often happens where you least expect it.

Because of Christmas, it is too much to say that the whole of Europe is brightly lit. After all, not every inch of land in Europe is populated by people, and the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe has been occupied by the Ming army.

The Ming army does not celebrate Christmas.

However, most places in Europe are still celebrating. After all, Christmas is as important to Europe as New Year's in the Central Plains.

In winter, or Christmas, Zhu Zhanhe only wanted to clean up the sea route from the Suez area to Junbao, so as to avoid any troubles in the future.

At the same time, the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire will not launch a war on Christmas. After all, it is the Chinese New Year in the West. Maybe even if you start it, the soldiers will not be in a high fighting spirit.

So at this time, Europe has actually entered a state of truce that both sides have tacitly agreed to.

But the problem is, I'm so afraid of that kind of brain axis!
There is a word that goes like this: young and frivolous.

After taking Athens, Mu Sheng went back to the Suez region first. Because of the geographical location of the Suez region, coupled with Zhu Zhanhe's current conquest of Europe, this made it impossible for the Suez region to make any mistakes.

This time, it was Zhu Zhanhe who came here to give Mu Bin the bottom line, and if he kept his face down, it would be Mu Sheng who didn't know what to do.

Therefore, according to the original plan, Mu Bin ransacked Athens, robbed some gold and silver treasures, and had to withdraw to replenish food and so on, but the problem was that Mu Bin didn't think so.

As the so-called young and frivolous, at the end of last year in the Asia Minor Peninsula, with the assistance of Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng, he successfully expelled the remaining Ottomans in the Asia Minor Peninsula.

This time, Zhu Zhanhe gave him an extra chance, he knew it was rare, so he didn't want to give up.

Mu Bin's idea seems a bit arrogant to ordinary people, but in fact it still depends on the final result.

No matter what his plan is, even if he plans to directly raid Aachen, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, as long as he succeeds, then he is a genius who succeeded under the circumstances that everyone is not optimistic about.

Only when you fail, is it arrogant.

Moreover, at this time, Jeanne II of the Kingdom of Naples asked the Duke of Rein to send a message to Zhu Zhanhe, wanting to convey the latest news of the Holy See and Holy Roman Empire coalition forces to Zhu Zhanhe, but was bumped into by Mu Bin .

Immediately, Mu Bin made a bold decision.

On the one hand, he sent someone back to deliver a letter to Zhu Zhanhe, and on the other hand, he led the fleet to the Tyrrhenian Sea by taking the opportunity of Duke Rein's return to Naples.

As far as this person is concerned, time is fate. Although Mu Bin made this decision, he was still extremely nervous, but at this moment he met someone from the Kingdom of Aragon.

In the early fifteenth century, the west side of the Mediterranean Sea was always dominated by the Kingdom of Aragon, which coincided with the "cooperation" between the Kingdom of Aragon and Zhu Zhanhe. In addition to this, coupled with the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate, Aragon Kingdom starts cruising in winter.

With the help of the Kingdom of Aragon, Mu Bin successfully bypassed Sicily and came to the west side of the Kingdom of Naples.

then……

Mu Bin took the fleet to the Tiber River!
Constantinople.

"This is the son you trained?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Mu Sheng suspiciously, while Mu Sheng lowered his head in shame.

Mu Sheng never thought that his son would have the courage to run to the Tiber River.

Where is the Tiber River?
If you just talk about this river, it is not very famous, because it is only the third largest river in Italy, and it may be ranked first in Europe, but no one really knows.

But the problem is...

The Tiber River flows through Rome!

Where is Rome?That is where the Holy See is located, and it is the capital of the Papal State!

Prior to this, although Rome's status was very high, it was not without being able to threaten its existence. During the 60-year split period of the Holy See, Avignon was an existence that could threaten Rome.

However, due to the intervention of the Holy Roman Empire, the 60-year split period of the Holy See ended, and Avignon gradually faded out of people's sight, and Rome returned to the sole status of the Holy See.

If this made Mu Bin enter the Tiber River, or even go to Rome, it would really stab his old nest.

"Okay." Looking at Mu Sheng's ashamed face, Zhu Zhanhe also smiled and waved his hands.

"You'd better go there quickly, it seems that your heart is not here anymore."

He was not worried about Mu Bin's safety, because although he was unprepared for this matter, there was no problem with Mu Bin's safety.

First of all, the Kingdom of Naples is a fool. Even if they fight against Mu Bin, they should be pretending. After all, Mu Bin is not Zhu Zhanhe, so he can't achieve the effect of a battle to determine the world.

Secondly, the largest maritime combat power in Central Europe has to be the Principality of Venice, and the principality of Venice’s main activity range is east of the Adriatic Sea, and the west coast of the Kingdom of Naples is where the Principality of Venice cannot radiate.

In the end, after excluding so many, what Mu Bin had to face was the sea power of the Kingdom of Sicily. Although there were no treasure ships in the fleet that Mu Bin took away this time, they carried white phosphorous eggs.

It is not difficult to kill the maritime fleet of the Kingdom of Sicily.

In addition, the Kingdom of Aragon is not vegetarian.

Even if Yolanda of Aragon is uneasy and kind, he will not turn his back at this time. After all, what they want is the whole of France. Maybe they can get it without the help of the Ming army, but they will undoubtedly have to pay more.

Therefore, Mu Bin's safety is still guaranteed, but there is one thing...

The premise is that he doesn't really go to Rome along the Tiber River. If this is the case, then the civilians in the whole of Europe will probably be excited, and the danger is self-evident.

However, Zhu Zhanhe felt that Mu Bin wasn't so stupid... right?

Seeing Mu Sheng bow to thank him and leave, Zhu Zhanhe sighed softly.

His thinking is different from ordinary people. Normally speaking, Mu Bin's actions are easily criticized by most people. After all, as a general, what needs to be considered is the safety of all soldiers, not the temporary advantages and disadvantages.

But Zhu Zhanhe feels that since he is a general who leads troops to fight, he must have aggressiveness. Although Mu Bin, who only knows how to charge forward, is definitely not enough, it is also a precious quality.

Many generals, after growing up, often lose this determination to fight to the death, and eventually become the same people who strive for victory steadily, which is what Zhu Zhanhe doesn't want to see.

In later generations, people all know that the prosperity of culture is not the dominance of one Confucian school, but the flourishing of a hundred flowers.

This sentence is equally applicable to generals.

However, if you want Mu Bin to maintain this momentum, you have to grow up. The road to growth is undoubtedly quite bumpy, and you may have to suffer a lot of losses to grow up.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe sighed lightly.

Maybe during the Ming Dynasty, there was still a little bit of luck missing after all.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Zhao Chongguo, and Chen Tang; in the Tang Dynasty, there were Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and even Zhao Song had generals like Di Qing and Yue Fei.

And what about Daming?The wealthiest family property was all wiped out when Emperor Taizu Gao paved the way for Jianwen, leaving only Zhang Fu to support himself, and finally died of Tumubao because of Baozong.

Don't look at Zhu Zhanhe basically doesn't use Daming soldiers when he goes out to fight, he mostly uses soldiers from Uzangdu Division, and he always uses Asan when charging is almost equivalent to death, but in terms of generals, He still values ​​Han generals more.

So far, no matter whether he was appointed by Zhu Zhanhe or followed Zhu Zhanhe to fight everywhere, only Kunzaxi is not a Han.

The others, whether they were Li Bin and Xu Heng, who were members of the Hanwang Party from the very beginning, or Zheng Heng and Chen Mao, who followed Zhu Zhanhe into Ping'an capital in a shameless manner at the time, were all Han Chinese.

As far as the present is concerned, Daming has not yet experienced the scourge of the Civil Fortress Change, and the generals of Daming are still sufficient.

The old faction has Zhang Fu in charge, and it is still stable. The mainstays are generals such as Liu Sheng, Zheng Heng, and Chen Mao. They are enough for going out to fight or guarding the frontier, but the problem is the rookie.

For now, Zhu Zhanhe only sees two people who are suitable in age and have talent.

Mu Bin is one, although he is not particularly outstanding, but he is not bad, and the other is Liu Pu, the son of Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan.

The reason why Zhu Zhanhe chose to train Mu Bin was firstly because Mu Bin's talent was not bad, after all, he had been exposed to it since he was a child, and secondly because the Mu family had now joined the lineage of King Wu.

As for not training Liu Pu, even Liu Sheng didn't have much contact with him, the reason is that Liu Sheng was actually a member of the prince's lineage back then.

In addition, there is Mu Ang's son Mu Xi, but he is only 12 years old this year, which is still a bit young.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

After this year, he will be... 28 years old. According to the calculation of the imaginary age, most of his body has already entered the age of [-].

It will be 19 years from the seventh year of Yongle, and I will be 30 years old. Maybe it's time to think about the future of Daming.

Zhu Zhanhe is very clear that by himself, he has indeed made such a big fortune, but as the saying goes, it is easy to start a business but difficult to keep it, and the most important thing is whether you can keep it.

For a long time, Zhu Zhanhe knew that there was not much he could do to keep the business, because a fatuous monarch could destroy most of it.

But if you know, you know, what should be worked hard is still to work hard.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe raised his head and looked towards the east.
