Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 438 The Siege of Burning Relics

In fact, many times, Zhu Zhanhe is more like a hands-off shopkeeper.

He was only responsible for providing ideas. As for the implementation, he either handed it over to his father or his younger brother, just like this work.

The matter of Gongju was decided when he returned to Shuntian last time, that is, when he went to see his cousin for the last time.

As for him, he was still more focused on fighting.

It's not that he likes fighting more, on the contrary, in fact, what annoys him the most is fighting. If he's in Shuntian or Yingtian, or even in Xiangzhou Prefecture, he's just dealing with some things.

In Shuntian, Chen Xun and Hu Wei were helping, and in Xiangzhou Prefecture, people like Xia Xuan were not too busy, but fighting was different.

In the matter of fighting, he didn't say he did it himself, but he would basically ask about it, and even provide a general framework and attack route for all parties.

In contrast, he still prefers to be an idle prince in the Central Plains.

Fighting or something is tiring.

But there is no way, if it is other wars, such as against the grasslands, against Annan, etc., he can let others go, but against Japan and Europe, he cannot defend.

Because he knows very well that in this era, only he himself carries the special hatred brought from later generations, and only he himself can guarantee that the result of this war will satisfy him.

And now...

"His Royal Highness, General Jian Xiao has sent a battle report, saying that he has arrived in Siret, Moldova. If he marches at full speed, he is expected to arrive in Wilno, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in seven days."

"Of course, this is just a march, and accidents must be ruled out."

"I see." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, telling Zhu Ping to back down.

Moldova has no resistance now. In the previous offensive and defensive battle of Nicoburg, several Bulgarian countries became cannon fodder for the Kingdom of Hungary. Not to mention that all the vital forces were buried in the Danube River Basin, but most of them were lost.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Ming army transited within its borders, as long as they did not launch an attack, there was a high probability that they would not take any action.

By this time, the Holy Roman Empire may still be monolithic, but countries such as Bulgaria no longer trust the Holy Roman Empire.

After all, no one is a fool. From the very beginning, Bulgaria and other countries knew that the Holy Roman Empire used them as cannon fodder, but the situation was stronger than others, and the Holy Roman Empire was, after all, the largest combined empire in Europe.

But now... huh.

Who the hell is going to fight for you at the risk of destroying the country?And it's not that there is a chance of destroying the country, it is definitely destroying the country!

In this case, even a weak country like Bulgaria will retain some vitality to a greater or lesser extent.

However, it's a matter if you don't deal with it after all, and maybe they suddenly get nervous and give you a backstab, so Zhu Zhanhe doesn't intend to let Jian Xiao go full speed ahead at the risk of being backstabbed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe raised his pen...

……

Meanwhile, Kyiv.

Chen Mao looked at the fanatical Ah San. He didn't know what method Zhu Zhanhe used to make this group of people who were not planned by Da Ming so obedient, but he was also shocked by Ah San's fighting power.

To be honest, Ah San's combat power is actually not weak, especially under the temptation of advanced "high caste".

Yes, that's right, the caste system.

Although Zhu Zhanhe said to abolish the caste system when he liberated the Sultan of Delhi, and he did it, the caste system has not been completely abolished.

In fact, this matter is a bit complicated to say.

Zhu Zhanhe has always had a principle in fighting wars, that is, at least to wipe out the ruling class and officials and nobles of the enemy country, because he knows very well that the so-called uprising, rebellion, or restoration is all right. People of these classes are just around the corner.

Having tasted a life of wealth and honor, they couldn't accept the life of being ruled by others, so they began to use food or other things that the people needed to incite the people, and finally achieved their ambitions.

Therefore, the ruling and aristocratic class must be eliminated.

In addition, under this banner, the support of the local people can be obtained to the greatest extent, and the resistance encountered by the Ming army can be weakened to a certain extent.

But the problem lies in the inferiority of human beings.

The emancipated low-caste Asan, because they are used to living in the low-caste life, the yearning for the high-caste has been deeply engraved in their bones, so the result is ironic.

Zhu Zhanhe abolished the caste system, but these Asan who came from a lower caste set up the caste system themselves.

This is the nature of human beings, they all want to overwhelm others and want to rule others.

Regarding this, Zhu Zhanhe didn't say anything, let alone forbid, but took advantage of this to let these assan's charge for him, which is why the asan's fought so desperately.

But compared to him, Zheng Heng was more surprised because of Zhu Sanfeng.

They and Zhu Sanfeng landed in Kalka from the Sea of ​​Azov at one time, and then Che Maung went north to Kiev. Zhu Sanfeng and Zheng Heng went south to Astrakhan, preparing to push the Golden Horde Khan with a two-sided attack. Sarai, the capital of the country, destroyed the Golden Horde.

However, because of Mu Xin's previous assertion, the highlands along the Volga River have been occupied by people from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the first battle broke out between the two sides.

Chen Mao and Zheng Heng came from a family of military generals, and they fought many battles in person, including Emperor Taizong's personal conquest, Zhu Zhanhe's eastern expedition to the Japanese kingdom, the suppression of the Jianzhou rebellion, and Emperor Xuande's personal conquest.

However, they had never seen Zhu Sanfeng directing a war like this.

Although she was a daughter, she was dressed all over her body and held Ma Shuo, who was rarely seen in the entire Ming Dynasty. She took the lead and directly entered the army formation.

At that time, looking at the enemy who seemed to be dressed as a candied haws, both Chen Mao and Zheng Heng felt a chill in their chests.

But this is only the beginning.

Then they split into two groups, and Zheng Heng, who followed Zhu Sanfeng to Astrakhan, saw another side of Zhu Sanfeng that Chen Mao failed to see.

After Qian Yong withdrew, Astrakhan was once again occupied by the Golden Horde, and because it had been occupied twice before, the Golden Horde realized the importance of Astrakhan, so they sent heavily armed.

Facing Astrakhan who was like a tortoise shell, without any hesitation, Zhu Sanfeng directly surrounded Astrakhan and shot out all the white phosphorous eggs he had brought.

Although Zheng Heng had never seen the lethality of the white phosphorous egg, as a general, how could he have never heard of this new weapon with superior lethality.

Seeing that Zhu Sanfeng made people shoot all the white phosphorous eggs into the city of Estrahan as if he had lost his mind, Zheng Heng wanted to stop it, but after seeing Zhu Sanfeng's icy expression, he was still hesitant. Cleverly shut up.

The reason is very simple. It can be said that there is no one in Daming who does not know about Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng.

After all, no matter how bad the reputation of the two of them is, they and Jian Xiao were the ones who brought back the new food that changed Daming from outside.

……

Walking on the streets of Astrakhan, Zheng Heng couldn't help frowning when he felt the smell of white phosphorus still sporadic.

To be honest, he knew that the white phosphorous egg was very lethal, but he didn't expect it to be this big.

to what extent?The mess is beyond description, it can only be described as hell on earth.

In the whole of Astrakhan, except for stones, everything that can be burned, such as wood, cloth, fur, etc., was turned into fly ash, and even the stones were burned by the high temperature and exploded.

This is not what shocked Zheng Heng the most, and these alone cannot be called hell on earth.

What really shocked Zheng Heng and called this hell on earth were the original living creatures in this city.

Realizing the importance of Astrakhan, coupled with the capture of the Great Khan, the Golden Horde knew that a battle with the Ming army would come soon, so the number of garrisons in Astrakhan was so large that It's unimaginable.

However, no one can be seen in the city now, not even a corpse. All that can be seen are piles of white ashes.

Zheng Heng knew that it was human ashes.

The amount of white phosphorous eggs far exceeded the normal amount, turning the entire Astrakhan into a city of fire. With the support of a large number of white phosphorous eggs, the fire burned for three days and three nights. Finally, Zhu Sanfeng stopped the attack. Let the fire die down slowly.

The burning temperature of white phosphorus is already high, coupled with the continuous burning, the people in the city of Astrakhan were not just burned to death, but burned to ashes in the true sense.

Among the piles of ashes, there were still many shining things. Zheng Heng bent down and picked up one, and played with it in his hand. He only regarded it as property or jewelry, but he didn't take too much. .

Although it is customary to carry some loot in one's pocket after the war, but he is new here, and he came from the hostile camp of King Wu's lineage, so it is better not to do such things that may leave talk.

But he didn't expect that it was not some kind of jewelry...

……

"How does General Zheng feel?"

When Zheng Heng returned to the big tent outside the city, Zhu Sanfeng, who was eating, suddenly said something, which made Zheng Heng stop.

"Returning to the general, it's a little... um, shocking..."

Zheng Heng's posture is very low, on the one hand because of his position, and on the other hand because of Zhu Sanfeng.

Zheng Heng is a military commander and a commoner of the Ming Dynasty. What Zhu Sanfeng has done these years, whether it is bringing new food back to Daming, or following Zhu Zhanhe to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty uninterruptedly, is worthy of him. dear.

It has nothing to do with age or status, it's just what people of Ming Dynasty and generals of Ming Dynasty should have.

"Shocking is shocking, but General Zheng doesn't want to learn from it." Zhu Sanfeng smiled and put down the dry food in his hand.

"General Zheng also knows that Qian Yong is my husband, and my husband has suffered such a catastrophe. I have been dazed this time, otherwise it would not have happened."

"However, give General Zheng a piece of advice, it's better not to touch that thing in your hand."

"Huh?" Zheng Heng was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised his right hand, and only recovered after seeing the "jewel" in his hand.

"Return to the general, I have no intention..."

"No, no, you're thinking too much." Zhu Sanfeng waved his hand.

"You thought it was jewelry, so you just picked one up? To be honest, I picked it up too. After all, it's a woman..."

"However, this is not jewelry, and it's not easy to play with it casually."

"This..." Zheng Heng looked at the sincere jewelry, and then at Zhu Sanfeng, with a puzzled look on his face.

"This..." Zhu Sanfeng smiled, but there was a bit of evil in the smile.

"It's Shirley..."
