Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 408 This is the pattern of the world

To be honest, even Zhu Zhen did not expect that after arriving at the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, he did not encounter too strong resistance, but easily captured the first city, Zhalichang.

This also made Zhu Zhen breathe a sigh of relief and immediately started a new subordinate.

The first thing is to let Muchun go back to Yunnan. After all, that is his base camp and he is not afraid of anything else.

It happened years ago that Annan was dishonest and got together with Dao Bailan.

If Qu Neng hadn't sent troops in time, a city would have been abducted to Annan.

Zhu Chu did not use the tens of thousands of strong men from Yingjiang Etao, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Gong family in Tengchong.

But Zhu Chu was not afraid of ten thousand, he was just afraid of what might happen. What if Naotao suddenly had evil thoughts?

If Etao takes Yingjiang and flirts with Annan again, something will happen.

What's more, if it is known that Yunnan is extremely empty now, and if a group of Tu chieftains from Sichuan rebel, how much damage will be caused?

Kunming is right on the edge of Sichuan, so it can be said to bear the brunt.

So Zhu Chu's arrangement makes sense.

In addition, Zhu Chu divided into two groups of 100,000 troops each, which in his opinion was enough to sweep the entire Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

This time the Black Erhuo launched a holy war and raised 450,000 troops, but only 150,000 surrendered and returned.

The entire southern Xinjiang military force may have become Zhu Chu's captives.

Wherever the army passes, no one can stop it.

Coupled with the terrifying power of the Hongyi cannon, even the city cannot be defended.

In addition, Zhu Chu originally planned to leave Cenhua to guard Zhalichang as a base for entering Xinjiang.

But Cen Hua was not happy: "Your Highness, do you think that we Zhuang men are here to eat free rice? We are here to follow you and make achievements."

In the beginning, the Zhuang people in Guangxi followed Zhu Ming in order to repay their great kindness.

But now, they have voluntarily followed Zhu Zhen.

But you can't look down on me just because I'm a female general.

Cen Hua glared at Zhu Chu and glanced at Wang Fu frequently. The meaning was self-evident.

Zhu Ming immediately understood and said: "So that's it, then you should follow Wang Fu and the others."

"Your Highness," Wang Fugang was about to speak.

Zhu Ming glared at him and scolded: "Not a single girl is picky about you, don't push yourself too far. And I know that you and Zhao Kuo have experienced hundreds of battles and are my most trusted generals. But you only have ten Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if it is iron, how many nails can be driven into it?”

"Even today's Timur Empire may be empty. Do you want to win it with only 100,000 people? Don't be too wishful thinking. Besides, besides the Timur Empire, there are foreign nations such as the Golden Horde that are eyeing them. It's always a good thing to have more people. .”

Zhu Ming knew very well that there was the Golden Horde to the north of the Timur Empire, the Ottoman Empire to the Black Sea, and Arabia to the north, the so-called Kingdom of Arabia in Arabian Nights.

Similarly, Tianfang Sect was passed down from them, and it can be said to be very harmful to people.

So Zhu Ming had to be careful.

"Besides, the girl didn't say anything. How can you, a grown man, still suffer?" Zhu Ming glanced at Wang Fu. How old is he? If he doesn't get married, will he still have a chance to have children?

From now on, the wars will continue one after another, and there is no possibility of calming down in a short time.

Zhu Ming didn't want Lao Wang to lose his queen.

Do you really want to be a eunuch?

"And I won't be here anymore. Lao Wang and Zhao Kuo, you are in the far west, and you are also the people I trust the most. You have the ability to bring peace to the world, and to rule the country in peace. Only you can make me feel at ease. "Zhu Zhen suddenly said seriously.

The battle line is so long, there is a saying that if anyone among them has evil intentions, he can rise up and become a prince on the spot, or even become the king of a country himself.

As for Zhu Chu himself, it is naturally impossible to stay here forever. Not only does he have to return to the Central Plains to take charge of the Central Plains and the imperial court, but he also has to rush to the next battlefield.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang institute a restraint system?

It is precisely because of various restrictions in ancient times that places far away from the imperial court are difficult to control.

The so-called king's command not to go to the countryside is not just talk.

Even if what happened at the emperor's feet, for example, the Zhang family in Liyang County, who had done many evil things, had been safe and sound for so many years?

Therefore, it is necessary to choose someone whom Zhu Chu can trust, who is capable of conquering the world on the battlefield, capable of governing the country and stabilizing the country, and who is trustworthy.

It's hard to find such a person. To be honest, if that kind of fierce man is lucky, he can found a country and become an emperor.

In the end, you have to work hard for him?

However, after Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo looked at each other, without any hesitation, they both knelt down and swore: "I will never betray His Highness, otherwise the sky will strike like lightning and I will never be reincarnated."

"I'm serious," Zhu Ming hurriedly walked over and helped the two of them up with his own hands: "As the saying goes, you don't have to trust a person who is suspicious. If I had the slightest suspicion, I wouldn't let you share the burden for me. But the next war is of great importance. , but you can’t be careless at all.”

"And you not only want to conquer Xinjiang in an all-round way, but you also want to reform the land and make the people feel a sense of belonging to us. Let them understand that we let them be our people, not our slaves. Again, the same sentence In other words, as long as the people’s will is what the general trend is, why worry about great things not happening?”

Having said this, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but look at Hou Dagou and Li Jinglong with some worry.

Especially that kid Li Jinglong.

After the previous trial in Tibet, Li Jinglong finally gained Zhu Chu's initial approval. After all, he was Li Wenzhong's son. He got Li Wenzhong's true biography, so it wasn't that bad.

Having said that, in this case, how did this kid achieve such a bad record in the Jingnan War in history?

I'm afraid the only thing that can be justified is that Li Jinglong is a young man. In fact, he has been Zhu Di's man for a long time. Otherwise, if Li Jinglong becomes the head coach, even if he makes a mistake or does nothing, Zhu Di will be dead.

It was precisely because of Li Jinglong's tricks that Zhu Di went from a situation where it was impossible to win, and finally fought all the way to Yingtian alone. It was Li Jinglong who personally opened the door to welcome Zhu Di into the city.

You taste it, you taste it carefully.

Therefore, Li Jinglong is by no means an incompetent second generation ancestor. On the contrary, he is somewhat capable.

But what we have to do this time is to ask a former second-generation ancestor to go among the people and do something for himself. It can even be said to please the people. Can he do it?

Zhu Min is not worried about Hou Dagou. This boy is a real talent and can be regarded as his anonymous disciple. Hou Dagou learned his methods from him in the past.

Hou Dagou knew what to do, and was afraid that Li Jinglong would disobey him.

So I had to talk to him alone for a few words later.

After some arrangements, Zhu Min's troops were split up again.

The 50,000-strong Kunming army led by Muchun will return to Kunming to garrison the stability of the entire Yunnan.

Nothing should happen to Yunnan.

Li Jinglong and Hou Dagou's team, each commanding 50,000 troops, still brought a hundred cannons and sufficient re-rationed artillery shells.

The reason why Zhu Chu won this battle with negligible losses was because he relied on a burst of artillery fire.

Under this crushing attack that was close to a dimensionality reduction strike, the Ming army marched straight into the Tibetan war and achieved a complete victory.

The three generals Wang Fu, Zhao Kuo and Cen Hua merged into one team, with Wang Fu as the commander-in-chief, Zhao Kuo as the deputy general of the left army, and Cen Hua as the deputy general of the right army, with a total of 165,000 troops and 100 artillery pieces.

As a result, Zhu Chu had already allocated more than 300,000 troops.

In his hands, he also had 50,000 horses from Mu Sheng's Wang Jia escort headquarters, 50,000 cavalry led by Peng Yue and Niu Sheng (15,000 headquarters, 35,000 Zhuang tribe), and 100,000 Naxi tribesmen led by Mu Chu and Mu Tu. militia.

A total of two hundred thousand.

It's just that Zhu Ming has assigned tasks to other army generals, and of course he himself will not do nothing.

In fact, Zhu Zhen had already stated his plan just now. He would lead the 200,000 troops to rush to the next battlefield.

"When the black Erhuo rebels invaded Tibet on a large scale and led an army of 450,000, claiming to be an army of 500,000, to launch the so-called holy war. Timur also led a large army to invade the grasslands via Turpan and Hami."

"Since the outcome of the war in Xinjiang can be predicted, I don't need to worry about it anymore. All the soldiers are my confidants, and I can leave full power to you for the war here."

Zhu Chu has a great attitude of winning people's hearts.

But the soldiers were very impressed. They all clasped their fists in salute and issued a military order: "I will never dare to disgrace the king's order."

"Mu Sheng, Peng Yue, Niu Sheng, Mu Chu, and Mu Tu listen to the order," Zhu Zhen looked at the last few generals who were not named just now.

"The last general is here." Several generals came out one after another, clasping their fists and obeying orders.

"The war here has nothing to do with you. You must quickly assemble your subordinates and prepare for the march. We are going to enter Hami by carrots, and then exit the northern part of the country. Our battlefield will be on the grassland," Zhu Ming subconsciously looked to the north.

The battle years ago was actually not over.

It was only due to environmental factors that we did not have time to continue the conquest of Wala and Uliangha.

And this time, it is not just an opportunity to regain Tibet, nor is it just to regain Xinjiang in one fell swoop.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity to capture the entire Mongolian grassland in one fell swoop?

Once this strategic goal is achieved, it is foreseeable that the Central Plains dynasty will no longer have foreign troubles.

Zhu Zhen also knows that with today's technology and transportation, it is difficult to take care of such a far away place.

But since Genghis Khan can grant kingdoms to his sons.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to so many brothers and sisters to Zhu Zhen. Could it be that they were all just watching?

Again, Zhu Zhen regarded the other vassal brothers as weapons of the country. From now on, even if the power of the old Zhu family is to be peeped by outsiders, he hopes that it will be a civil war in the old Zhu family, even if it is overthrown by the Han people.

It’s better than being taken over by Aixinjueluo, right?

Again, Li Zicheng was not destined to be emperor. Otherwise, as long as he had not forced Wu Sangui to rebel, Wu Sangui would have continued to guard Shanhaiguan and even Dorgon would have been exhausted.

Not to mention the troops within the pass, even Wu Sangui's troops were enough to stop the Qing army.

So what Zhu Chu wants to prevent most now is the bad things that happened in the late Ming Dynasty.

First sweep away the surrounding area, and then continue to plot the entire world.

"This king will use his career in one lifetime to make lasting contributions," Zhu Ming said excitedly.

At least before him, even the First Emperor, whom he highly admired, failed to conquer the Saibei grassland. In order to protect the people from being plundered by nomads, he had to build the Great Wall.

Once Zhu Chu can really accomplish such a great feat, it will be unprecedented.

After all, the achievements he has already achieved cannot be repeated by others.

The generals were also excited. They were witnessing a great history, and they were also participants in it.

Who wouldn’t want to be remembered in history?

"The whole army sets off."

Zhu Zhen didn't hesitate for a moment and gave the order on the spot.

This war that is destined to become famous all over the world is finally about to begin.

"But Your Highness," Wang Fu asked worriedly before leaving, "Your army only has 200,000 troops. Is it really enough?"

Today's Timurid Empire is more powerful than the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Even the arrogant ones can raise an army of 450,000, claiming to be 500,000.

It is conceivable that Timur Khan sent a total of 800,000 troops this time, claiming to be a million soldiers, and invaded the grassland in a large scale.

In fact, if you don't have such strong strength and confidence, Timur would not dare to easily fight back to the Mongolian grassland.

It is not without reason that the huge Mongolian grassland has always been occupied by the Tatar, Oara and Ulyankha tribes.

Once the three major tribes of the grassland united and elected a great khan as the co-owner of the grassland, even the Ming Dynasty would be afraid of that power, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty had always been a serious concern of the Ming Dynasty.

It was because of the internal strife in the Three Grasslands, and Lan Yu's defeat of the Northern Yuan Royal Court, which led to a series of subsequent chain reactions, especially the recent frequent replacement of several Khans, and the recent inappropriate behavior of the Great Khan. people.

That's why the opportunity was seized.

Years ago, Zhu Chu ran to the grassland to fight against the autumn wind, and now Tamerlane has sent 800,000 troops. It can be said to be a troubled year.

If one of them is not good, the three major tribes on the grassland may be annihilated.

At the same time, Wang Fu was also worried that Zhu Zhen would not be able to compete with Timur's army with these 200,000 troops.

Zhu Zhen smiled: "I guess you have your heart. It's just that you, Old Wang, have not been with me recently, so you don't know. Half a month ago, I had someone send a letter to the capital."

After the previous war in Tibet ended, Zhu Zhen had people send battle reports back to the capital. As a result, it took a full month for the victory reports to be sent.

And because Zhu Chu stayed in Tibet for a month, when the good news was delivered to the capital, it happened to be the time when he left Tibet and prepared to enter Xinjiang.

Just when he was leaving Tibet, Zhu Zhen sent someone to deliver the letter.

"According to my plan, when we arrive all the way to the Tatar grassland, the letter should be delivered. And I have previously asked my father to prepare an army of 500,000 in advance and station it at the Palace of Qin and Prince Qing. Only With just one order, an army of 500,000 can be dispatched from Helan Mountain in an instant."

"In addition, I can also recruit hundreds of thousands of grassland soldiers from the Tatar tribe."

"Are you afraid of who doesn't have weapons?"

Zhu Zhen had already obtained intelligence information about the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timur Empire before he went down to the south of the Yangtze River to patrol the world, so he had secretly arranged everything at that time and reached a tacit understanding with Zhu Yuanzhang.

The father and son simply kept it secret. Except for a limited number of people, no one knew that they had secretly prepared for such an unprecedented battle.

With Zhu Chu's current 200,000 troops, plus 500,000 troops, there are also the Tatar steppe troops.

By that time, even if Wala and Wuliangha had already defected to Timur, Zhu Zhen was confident of launching a decisive battle with them on the prairie.

So Zhu Chu had no fear at all.

"On the contrary, it's you," Zhu Zhen looked at the generals who had been entrusted with important tasks and told him: "You must not only conquer the entire Xinjiang as quickly as possible, but also win the hearts and minds of the people. What I want is a rich territory. , instead of a wasteland riddled with holes."

"At the same time, we must be careful of the Golden Horde, the Ottoman Empire, and especially the Arab tribes. We must not let them introduce the Tianfang Sect again."

Because Arabia was once ruled by Mongolia, and the former Arab Empire disintegrated itself into dozens of large and small ones, they were collectively called the Arab tribes.

Because Zhu Zhen can purchase the current world map directly from the system, he knows the current world structure and situation, and Shen Rong's caravan is secretly helping him collect intelligence.

So Zhu Zhen not only knew about the Arab tribes, but also knew that on the edge of the Timurid Empire, apart from the Golden Horde, the biggest threat was the Ottoman Empire.

It was this Ottoman Empire that finally wiped out the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire.

In fact, the Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire. It was later renamed the Byzantine Empire in order to distinguish it from the Holy Roman Empire, which also called itself the Roman Empire.

But before being overthrown by the Ottoman Empire, the Romans never knew that they were also Byzantines.

As for the Holy Roman Empire, it has nothing to do with ancient Rome.

The Eastern and Western Roman Empire is the inheritance and continuation of the ancient Roman Empire. That is the orthodoxy. Before his death, Theodosius I, the last emperor to unify the Roman Empire, divided the Roman Empire between his two sons to inherit respectively. From then on, the Roman Empire Officially split into the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire.

Moreover, the Western Roman Empire fell long ago, several centuries apart from the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was forcibly touching the porcelain and wanted to gild it. After all, the influence of ancient Rome was too great.

Even in the early three dynasties of the Holy Roman Empire, the emperor basically ascended the throne as a duke of the five major German tribes. The Germans held the throne, so how could he be said to be the emperor of the Romans?

"By the way, the Hundred Years' War between England and France is almost in progress, right?" Zhu Zhen remembered that when he looked at the map of the world pattern before, he remembered that the colors between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France were entangled.

The territorial power of the two countries always alternated back and forth. At first, the Kingdom of England occupied a lot of land in the Kingdom of France.

But later the Kingdom of France fought back.

But for some unknown reason, the Kingdom of England won again, and even occupied Paris for a time.

It is said that Paris has a history of two thousand years, and that it has been the capital of the Kingdom of France since the sixth century AD. Since then, all French feudal dynasties have used Paris as their capital.

As a result, during this Hundred Years' War, the thousand-year-old city also suffered huge damage.

Zhu Chu touched his chin with his hand. Not only was there no sadness in his heart, but he felt like laughing.

You guys start pecking at each other, the Hundred Years War will not end easily anyway.

When I have my hands free here, I will catch you all in one fell swoop.
