Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 456
The next day, early in the morning.

Waking up from sleep, Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Leonor beside him with a half-smile.

From the moving eyelids and eyelashes of the other party, one can tell that she is actually awake, but because of some reasons, she is unwilling to face it, or it should be said that she is afraid to look at Zhu Zhanhe for the time being.

As for what this "partial reason" was, Zhu Zhanhe didn't have the time to go into it.

For him, Leonor is just a way for him to relieve his emotions, but the bonus of being the future Queen of the Holy Roman Empire will make Zhu Zhanhe feel even more.

But for Zhu Zhanhe, all the premise must be based on Leonor being obedient, if she is not obedient...

It doesn't matter, it's just a way to relieve emotions. Without Leonor, he has other things.

He got up, dressed, washed, and walked out of the room. As Zhu Zhanhe closed the door, Leonor behind him finally opened his eyes.

This room originally belonged to the couple, but last night... she never thought that one day she would be treated like this, which made her feel deeply humiliated.

But at the same time, in this situation, Leonor's eyes also revealed a look of excitement and expectation.

She knew that compared to Frederick III who had long since died without knowing where he died, Zhu Zhanhe was the one who realized her goal and became the one below...or even above all others.

After all, if Zhu Zhanhe reaches the top, she can still be on top of Zhu Zhanhe under some special will.

Compared with Frederick III, who had not yet become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Zhu Zhanhe obviously had greater potential, because now Zhu Zhanhe already occupied half of the whole of Europe.

As for how to get Zhu Zhanhe to help her achieve her goal... Although Leonor was worried about this problem, he was not particularly worried.

She firmly believes that things that she cannot accomplish alone can also be accomplished with the help of others, but she just wants to help herself win Zhu Zhanhe, and even make Zhu Zhanhe obey her, the person who helps her You must be of one mind with her, or even take her as the main priority.

After years of fleeing, plus what he had seen and learned in the Duchy of Burgundy and the Habsburg Dynasty, Leonor believed that no man could escape that yoke.

If a man can escape that shackle, there are only two possibilities.

First, this man may have a psychological problem and cannot do the things that he can do just by relying on his nature.

Secondly, this man may be a eunuch by profession, and he has more than enough ambition but not enough strength.

……

Habsburg estate, council hall.

This manor originally belonged to the Habsburg dynasty, but now it has been occupied by Zhu Zhanhe.

Not only has Zhu Zhanhe occupied a place like the parliament hall, but the position of the owner of the manor and even the birds in the nest have also been occupied by him.

"Xing Kun, we will suspend the advance. First, you will bring 4 people back to Mohachi to defend the pass of the Danube River. At the same time, you will form a pincer attack with me. First, we will gnaw down Buda and Pest."

"In addition, you find an imperial guard, take thirty thousand asan, and go to clean up the cities along the Danube."

"In this matter, I don't look at the process, and no matter what they have done, just let them release their nature. I only look at the result."

"The result I want is that the people in the middle and lower reaches of the Danube River will either sincerely submit to Daming, become slaves of Daming and be sent to mines, or send them to meet their so-called master."

"Yes!" Xing Kun's heart tightened, and he bowed his head to accept the order.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe's order was very simple, that is, to let those asan go wild for a while, to release their temper, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.

However, the most important thing is to clean up the unstable factors along the Danube River. After all, once Vienna is taken down, it is equivalent to surrounding Budapest and other places.

The Ming army occupied the plains of the lower reaches of the Danube in the east, the plains of the middle reaches of the Danube in the south, and Vienna in the west. It was equivalent to forming a pocket formation here, the kind where whoever came and who died.

If you want to break through this pocket array, the only possibility is to set up an array on the west side of Vienna, first break Vienna occupied by the Ming army, and then slowly advance southward and eastward, slowly regaining the place occupied by the Ming army.

In other directions, the south is the Mediterranean Sea and the east is the Black Sea. Under the threat of the Ming army's sea power, the Holy Roman Empire has no possibility of attacking from these two directions, so only the west of Vienna is left.

Of course, everything in this world is mutual.

The formation of this pocket formation means that Vienna, the only city that can be breached, has to withstand more pressure. After all, if the enemy wants to counterattack, this is the only opening.

But Zhu Zhanhe didn't think this was a problem. The white phosphorous egg was very useful for attacking the city, and it was also very useful for defending the city.

No matter how bad it is, the Ming army can abandon Vienna and let the enemy recover a ruined city burned to ruins by white phosphorous eggs, and then play guerrilla warfare with them.

When fighting in a foreign country, supplies are a big problem, but at the same time, the Ming army does not need to pay too much attention. Anyway, for them, if they take it down, they will gain, and if they can’t take it down, it will be destroyed.

Enemies are always more distressed than they are.

"besides……"

Just as Xing Kun stepped back with his head down, waiting for Zhu Zhanhe's other orders while thinking, Zhu Zhanhe spoke again.

"Zhu Ling, send scouts around to search for news, remember to bring a few more translators, let them spread a message."

"That is to say, we need a lot of young and strong slaves. We will trade with them at a fair price. At the same time, we will regard them as allies, and we will avoid allies' cities in future wars."

"If some people provide us with enough slaves, it will not only be what I just said, but we will also trade with them and sell them valuable goods such as spices, silk and tea."

"Yes!" Zhu Ling bowed his head and accepted the order without the slightest hesitation.

However, Zhu Ling didn't hesitate because he was Zhu Zhanhe's personal guard, and Zhu Zhanhe's order was the highest order for him, so he didn't need to think about why such an order was made and whether it was reasonable.

But for other people, they don't need to execute the order, they will subconsciously think about why Zhu Zhanhe gave such an order.

It's okay not to think about it, this thought made them think of Zhu Zhanhe when he was in Wa Kingdom.

This plan is called anti-jian.

As mentioned before, many people think that the trade of selling old black people is the earliest human trade, but in fact the white slave trade is actually the earliest, and the implementers of the white slave trade are the Ottoman Turks, but the executors are White people themselves.

At the earliest time, the Ottoman Empire set a price tag, which was executed by Barbary pirates. In the end, European countries had to pay to redeem these trafficked people.

Later, with the passage of time and the huge profits of the white slave trade, many white people also participated.

They sold their compatriots to the Ottoman Turks, and then their own country redeemed them at a high price, and finally formed a cycle of harming the country, benefiting others, and benefiting themselves.

However, they sold it at a low price, the Ottoman Empire received it at a low price, and in the end their country had to buy it back at a high price.

This is actually not uncommon, because Europe is not monolithic, they themselves divide Europeans into Luxembourgers, Netherlands, Walloons and Bretons and so on.

Under this classification, it seems that the human trade of European white pigs is infinitely close to and cannibalism, just like the Central Plains people selling Siamese and Nanzhang people as slaves, for them there is no sense of guilt.

Moreover, in order to accumulate capital, the nobles are most likely to participate. After all, Frederick III's family is the Elector of Saxony, a Saxon; Sigismund is the Elector of Luxembourg and so on.

Under the circumstances that it is not monolithic, coupled with the fact that the Habsburg dynasty and the Luxembourg dynasty are secretly competing, Zhu Zhanhe's order can achieve the goal of obtaining a large number of slaves with only money, which will greatly improve the situation. Weaken the vital forces of Europe.

As for whether those nobles will take advantage of this...

Desire is the eternal and biggest flaw of human beings. Driven by desire, humans often choose paths that will eventually lead to destruction, but they still choose.

"correct."

Just when everyone thought that Zhu Zhanhe's order was over, Zhu Zhanhe's speaking again made everyone wake up instantly.

"Send the same message to the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of France, and the Kingdom of England."

"Tell the Kingdom of Aragon that we need to buy some young slaves from the Kingdom of France, tell the Kingdom of France that we buy English slaves, and tell the Kingdom of England that we need to buy French slaves."

"Tell them that if they don't have special status, they only want young and strong men. If they have special status, such as the daughter of a Duke or even the royal family, then they can also ask for it."

"Yes!" Zhu Ling bowed his head and wrote down Zhu Zhanhe's words.

"Okay, that's it for now." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands and gave the last order.

"Kunzhaxi, you take 2 people to follow those Asan down the Danube River. However, your task is not to clean the Danube River, but to go east to support Jianxiao and the others."

"Remember." Having said that, Zhu Zhanhe stood up, with a captivating look in his eyes.

"This winter, I want to see Eastern Europe perish and Central Europe fall."

"In the spring of next year, I want to see flags everywhere except Western Europe and Northern Europe!"

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed their heads in response, the sound was so loud that the entire council hall seemed to be shaken.

Zhu Zhanhe nodded in satisfaction, and waved Xing Kun and the others to retreat.

"Zhu Ping." Seeing everyone leave, Zhu Zhanhe beckoned Zhu Ping over.

"Send a letter to Yolanda of Aragon and Joan of Arc of the Kingdom of France, with the same content, saying that I have captured the niece of the Duke of Burgundy, and let them look at the price."

"The higher bidder gets it."

"Yes!" Zhu Ping bowed his head and accepted the order.

Zhu Ping seemed expressionless, but in fact he knew how ruthless Zhu Zhanhe's move was.

The Kingdom of Burgundy has always been annexed by the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Aragon.

If the Kingdom of France annexes the Principality of Burgundy, the strength of the Kingdom of France will increase greatly, and it will not be beaten everywhere in the early stage of the Hundred Years' War, and even Paris will be occupied by the English.

Conversely, if it is the Kingdom of Aragon, after annexing the Principality of Burgundy, their territory will officially cross the Pyrenees, enter the Western European Plain, and have a bridgehead to advance northward.

Of course, it's just a Leonor, so it's still a bit light to use as a bargaining chip. After all, it's just a niece, not a son, or even a daughter. It may not be that the Duke of Burgundy is willing to pay the price.

However, Zhu Zhanhe had other cards in his hand.
