Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 495 Choices
Picking up his old business more than ten years ago again, this makes Zhu Zhanhe feel more or less like a lifetime away.

In recent years, although many lives have been hanged under his name, even more and more, but the capitals he built are really not many.

Nowadays, when people talk about Zhu Zhanhe, they often think of tyranny and killing. It seems that building a Beijing temple has become the most common thing Zhu Zhanhe does in the war.

But in fact, Zhu Zhanhe built a Jingguan on the grassland at the very beginning, and although he proposed to build the Jingguan, in fact he didn't want to be the person who supervised the construction of the Jingguan , but was driven by Emperor Taizong to put ducks on the shelves.

And after that, Zhu Zhanhe also built a capital in the country of Japan. At the same time, the battle of conquest of the Japanese was also the battle where Zhu Zhanhe built the most and the largest capitals in his life.

But after conquering the Japanese, Zhu Zhanhe really didn't build much of the capital.

The Indochina Peninsula was burned and encircled and suppressed. In addition, the Wu Wang lineage at that time had decided to use the Indochina Peninsula as their base, so naturally they would not build a Beijing temple in their own home.

Then came the Sultan of Delhi, but from the very beginning Zhu Zhanhe planned to use brainwashing and seduction methods to make the Assams work for him, so he just got rid of the high caste of the Sultan of Delhi.

Finally, there is the Western Expedition.

On the way to the west, many people died because of this war, but Zhu Zhanhe didn't ask people to build a Beijing temple, but buried them directly on the spot.

As for the end of the Western Expedition, that is, Europe, there are some differences.

Zhu Zhanhe mainly adopted the method of enslavement in Europe, young and strong were taken away as slaves, as for the women, most of them were sold because they were more in line with the aesthetics of Asians.

To sum up, the Jingguan built at the foot of the Alps, at the foot of Mont Blanc, and above Lake Leman is the first Jingguan built by Zhu Zhanhe in Central Asia and even Europe.

For this Beijing Temple, Zhu Zhanhe is quite satisfied with the meaning it represents, but he is not very satisfied with the scale of the Beijing Temple.

Because Zhu Zhanhe knew very well that this Jingguan might be one of the few Jingguan he built in Europe. Although he didn’t expect it to be as big as the Jingguan built in the Japanese palace, It was piled up by people in the early [-]s, and it was still too small.

But there is no way, as the saying goes, if you are willing to give up, you will gain if you give up, and similarly, if you have something, you will give up.

If you want slaves, the scale of Jingguan will not be very large; if you want to build a big Jingguan, the number of slaves will decrease.

"Wu Keqin pays homage to His Royal Highness!"

The night was getting dark, and when Zhu Zhanhe was sitting at the door of the tent, drinking while looking at the newly built Beijing Temple in the distance, a voice broke the tranquility of the entire tent.

"Say." Zhu Zhanhe said calmly, holding the wine bottle.

"His Royal Highness! Our military scouts found a small number of villagers. They have been to the Beijing we built, but they seem to have been alarmed by the bonfire in our military camp and have already fled!"

"Understood." Zhu Zhanhe's voice was still flat.

"Pass down the order to set off tomorrow morning. There is no need to remove the traces of the camp, just take the necessary things away."

"Yes!"

……

To be honest, Zhu Zhanhe really wanted to protect this place, and even develop it into a scenic spot, because the purpose of this Beijing Temple is to suppress Catholicism.

The more people who have seen it and the longer it exists, the more powerful this effect will be.

However, this is also doomed to be impossible.

If you want more people to see it, you can't build it at the foot of Mont Blanc. If you want it to have a significant impact, you can't build it in other cities.

In addition, there is another very important point, that is, the effective period of this thing will not be very long, which is why Zhu Zhanhe drove those captives here all the way and built a Beijing temple here.

If there is no accident, from now on, there will be no traces of pure Europeans in Central and Eastern Europe, at least on the surface.

In the future, Western Europe and Northern Europe will also be like this, so the time Zhu Zhanhe needs this Beijing Temple to take effect is just these two years.

In addition, there is another very important factor in the location selection here, because this is the territory of the Principality of Burgundy.

What Zhu Zhanhe wants is to spread this influence to Western Europe, because that is his future goal.

……

As dawn approached, Zhu Zhanhe asked Zhu Ling to call Wu Keqin and Xue Shou over.

"What do you think?"

As soon as the two entered the tent, Zhu Zhanhe motioned for them to sit down, and then asked them without giving them any time to prepare.

Wu Keqin and Xue Shou were stunned for a moment in sync, and recovered in sync.

In fact, compared with Xue Shou, Wu Keqin's ability to accept is relatively strong, because when Emperor Taizong's first imperial conquest, Wu Keqin and his elder brother Wu Kezhong participated with their father.

At that time, he had met the young Zhu Zhanhe, and witnessed with his own eyes how determined Zhu Zhanhe was when he was still a child, and how he supervised the Ming army to build the first capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Now choose me and leave it to you two." Seeing the two of them thoughtful, Zhu Zhanhe spoke again.

"You two, one of you wants to stay... It's not that you stay, but you need to rush to Vienna, which is not very far from here, and station there."

"The other is going south with me, back to Rome."

"However, no matter which option you choose, you will not experience too many big wars in the future, and most of them will be based on small-scale cleaning."

"After all, while conquering the world, one must also secure the world. Otherwise, it will be nothing but nothing."

"So, these two options are basically the same, you two make up your own mind."

After Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Early in the morning is actually not very suitable for drinking tea, but the Ming army is ready to go, and Zhu Zhanhe's biological clock is always on time. This kind of time when the sky is not clear is not her biological clock, and can only be assisted by external forces.

Wu Keqin and Xue Shou looked at each other and looked at their expressions. They both had something to say, but they seemed to have considered something and chose to keep silent.

"Your Highness, why not..." After a long time, Xue Shou spoke first.

"Why don't you go south with His Royal Highness?"

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows, with a questioning look on his face.

"His Royal Highness, Keqin's elder brother is still in Aachen, let him be stationed in Vienna. The two brothers can work together when they encounter problems, and perhaps the effect of one plus one greater than two can be achieved."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly when he heard the words, and turned his gaze to Wu Keqin.

"His Royal Highness is in charge of everything!" Sensing Zhu Zhanhe's gaze, Wu Keqin lowered his head.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he was still grateful for Xue Shou's decision.

In such an unfamiliar place, everyone must think of someone they know, or even a relative, around them.

In fact, for them, staying away from Zhu Zhanhe is the best choice, because now the war in Central and Eastern Europe has basically ended, and there will be no more big wars, which means that they have no military merits.

Under such circumstances, encircling and suppressing the remnants of the enemy army and cleaning up the enemy's cities have become the biggest tasks, and there is a lot of money to be made in these tasks.

Undoubtedly, under such circumstances, the farther away from Zhu Zhanhe, the more at ease.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Wu Keqin has such an idea, it's just a matter of fact, and even if this is not counted, staying away from Zhu Zhanhe will make them feel more relaxed.

It's like when you were in front of your parents when you were a child, in front of your teachers when you were in school, and in front of your leaders after work. Even if you did nothing and did nothing wrong, you still feel a little bit stressed.

"Since none of you have any objections, let's make a decision for now." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked a little troubled.

"Let's all go down and prepare, let the soldiers bury the pot to cook, and set off in an hour."

"Yes!" ×2.

……

From Aachen to the present, the deaths of Sigismund, Albrecht and members of the Habsburg dynasty marked the complete demise of the Holy Roman Empire.

Of course, there will definitely be remnants, but even if they rise up to resist in the future, they will not be based on the Holy Roman Empire as they are now, but on a small scale based on various countries and even various noble fiefdoms.

To suppress or even eliminate this level of resistance, for the Ming army, it is a bone-setting doctor: take whatever you want.

With the death of Eugene IV, the Holy See has initially collapsed in Central and Eastern Europe.

Rome is a city of special significance to Catholicism, so not only the Pope is in Rome, but also a large number of cardinals are there, and believers also regard Rome as one of the holy places.

When Rome fell, not only the former Pope Martin V was killed, but also a large number of cardinals and believers were killed.

After that, in order to continue to control the power of the Holy See, Sigismund concentrated a small number of cardinals in Aachen, and also elected a new puppet Pope Eugene IV.

This time, with the fall of Aachen, the few cardinals in Central and Eastern Europe were almost wiped out. As Zhu Zhanhe brought Eugene IV here and used him to worship the heavens, central and eastern Europe The Holy See was also destroyed.

This also means that Zhu Zhanhe can finally start to show his talents, but there is still a problem for him to make a decision.

That is to take advantage of the victory and pursue, and start to intervene in the battle between Western Europe through the Aachen area and the strength of the Ming army's maritime fleet, or even directly capture Paris?

Or should we take one step at a time, stabilize the central and eastern regions first, and come steadily and steadily?

……

Rome.

Before Zhu Zhanhe returned to Rome, someone had already returned here, and this person was Zheng He.

In fact, according to the original plan, Zheng He should have returned last year, and not only returned to Rome, but also returned to Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the rapidly changing European war situation, Zheng He stayed near the English Channel for a while to be on the safe side.
