Chapter 300 Chapter 300: The Ming Dynasty marched to the west to completely eradicate the Western Ho

Chapter 300 Chapter 300: The Ming Dynasty marched to the west to completely eradicate the Western Holy See!
Regarding the issue of missionaries, Zhu Li's attitude was very firm, and even if Zhu Xiaqiu was unwilling, he could only carry out what Zhu Li said.

Because he knows very well that if he doesn't do it, then he will wait for his father to come in person!

When the time comes, that method will definitely be more intense than my own!
In this way, at the court meeting the next day, the prince Zhu Xiaqiu, who was acting as the superintendent of the government, directly issued the order to arrest all missionaries, which caused quite a shock in the court!

All missionaries in the Ming Dynasty, no matter which church they belong to, whether they have just come in or how long they have been here, or whether they have received any followers, will be arrested and burned at the stake!

To put it bluntly, they were tied up and burned alive!

Many civil servants in the court immediately couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up to advise Zhu Xiaqiu.

The main reason is that this punishment is too much. Even if it is cut down directly, it is better than being burned to death!
"This is what Father meant!"

"If you have any objections, go directly to Father and tell him. If Gu can't handle it, he may have to handle it himself!"

Zhu Xiaqiu glanced at the ministers below and spoke in a helpless tone.

The ministers: "..."

What else is there to say?

Are they all meant by the emperor?
Doesn’t the emperor no longer care about government affairs?
Why did it pop up again now?

Although this group of people are complaining about the emperor Zhu Li in their hearts, absolutely no one dares to ignore the strength of the emperor Zhu Li!

It’s not that Zhu Yue, the emperor, doesn’t care about government affairs on weekdays and has been away from the court for a long time, so he has no deterrent effect on ministers like them!

You know Zhu Yue's methods, they are even more ruthless than Zhu Yuanzhang back then!

He doesn't care about you, but if he really wants to care about you, then it's time for you to cry!

As soon as they heard that Zhu Xiaqiu had moved out Zhu Yue, the officials complained in their hearts, but on the issue of missionaries, how could they dare to raise any objections?

Not allowed to burn missionaries?

Zhu Yuezhen took it upon himself to burn them too!

Risking your own life for a bunch of aliens, unless these civil servants have their heads wet!
Seeing that all these ministers had ceased their activities, Zhu Xiaqiu's face showed such a look!

Most of the courtiers are bullies and fearful of the tough, and they all think that the prince who oversees the country has a good temper. But as soon as the emperor Zhu Yue comes out, everyone is guaranteed to tremble!

This is Zhu Yue's absolute dominance over the Ming Dynasty!
Even if he is absent from the court all year round, absolutely no one dares to ignore his existence!

He is like a Dinghai needle of the Ming Dynasty. He can stay still, but if he moves, there will definitely be a lot of movement!
As a result, nearly 600 missionaries were arrested in the entire Ming Dynasty within three months. Without exception, they were all tied alive in public and burned to death!
Such bloody and cruel methods made those foreign people in the Ming Dynasty change their colors after hearing it!

The news was also spread directly back to Western countries as quickly as possible!
A few months later, this incident spread in Western countries and caused an uproar!
Especially when the Western Holy See learned of the news, it directly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to question why the Ming Dynasty did this!
Today's Ottoman Empire is far in the west, but because it has just destroyed Byzantium, its strength cannot be underestimated!
Although they knew that Ming Dynasty was very powerful, they were also extremely confident in themselves!

A few months later, a team of hundreds of Ottoman envoys arrived in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this was something that Honglu Temple had already foreseen!
Previously, so many missionaries were arrested with great fanfare and burned alive. It must be because of this incident that the country sent envoys!
Soon, the Ottoman envoy met the prince Zhu Xiaqiu in the court, and asked the Ming Dynasty why he did such a bad act!
When the civil and military officials in the court heard such an unkind question from the other party's envoy, their faces were all very ugly!

Is it bad?
It is indeed a bit bad, mainly because the method is too radical!

But this is an order personally issued by the emperor Zhu Li. Who dares to object?
However, this envoy from the Ottoman Empire actually dared to openly question the Ming Dynasty’s Prince Supervisor in the Ming Dynasty’s court. This was even more outrageous!
"Pagans are not allowed to preach in the Ming Dynasty. This rule was actually established several years ago!"

"At that time, Ming Dynasty did not have such radical means, and it also gave you the time and opportunity to withdraw people, but you just didn't do that!"

"You broke Ming Dynasty's rules first, and now you are questioning Ming Dynasty. How can this be justified?"

Zhu Xiaqiu frowned and asked in the same unkind tone.

Zhu Xiaqiu, who is now in his early twenties, already has the majesty and magnanimity that a prince should have. Naturally, he will show his dignity when facing mere envoys from other countries!
Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty cannot be lost!
"But you, Ming Dynasty, didn't say before that you would burn all our missionaries alive!"

When the messenger heard this, his face became even more ugly as he argued.

"It means that the Ming Dynasty has relaxed its control over you and only formulated some indifferent punishment measures. You will not take it seriously at all. Those who should preach will continue to preach in the Ming Dynasty?"

"If Ming Dynasty is strict with you, should it tell you in advance so that you can still have the opportunity to evacuate people on your own initiative?"

"How can anything be so cheap in this world?"

"To tell you the truth, the reason why Ming Dynasty did this is to let you understand that missionaries will never be allowed to enter Ming Dynasty. If you catch one, you will never tolerate it!"

"The hundreds of missionaries who were executed before are the best examples!"

Zhu Xiaqiu sneered and shouted sharply.

"Are you going to go to war with us, the Ottoman Empire?"

"You, the Ming Dynasty, cannot afford this consequence!"

"The Ming Dynasty had better allow our missionaries to enter the Ming Dynasty, otherwise..."

The envoy did not expect that Zhu Xiaqiu would be so tough, and he felt that he had lost all face, and immediately threatened Zhu Xiaqiu with a livid face!

However, before he could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded!
"What else?"

"Does your Ottoman Empire want to go to war with our Ming Dynasty?"

"In that case, let's fight!"

Everyone looked for the voice and saw Zhu Yue, dressed in Taoist robes, appearing at the gate of Fengtian Hall, looking at the messenger with cold eyes!
"You...who are you?"

"Do you know what starting a war means?" The envoy's expression suddenly changed, but when he saw that the speaker was just a middle-aged man wearing a robe, he asked angrily.

When he said to start a war, he just wanted to put pressure on Zhu Xiaqiu!

After all, Zhu Xiaqiu was also the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so his words naturally carry weight!
But the man who suddenly appeared in front of him actually dared to say something about starting a war. Wasn't that a slap in his face?

"I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to start a war?"

"Why are you scared now?"

Zhu Yue walked into the main hall and questioned the messenger with a faceless face.

The ministers who reacted on the side suddenly knelt down as if they were waking up from a dream, and shouted long live!
The Ottoman envoy's face suddenly stiffened. How could he have imagined that this middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe could actually be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Is he Zhu Li, the Chengwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

The main reason is that Zhu Yue is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper and does not personally interfere with matters in the court. As a result, the people of the Ming Dynasty are not very familiar with this emperor, let alone people from these foreign countries. They know Zhu Yue very well. It’s even rarer!

"I...I didn't mean that!"

"I just want to avoid a war, so I came to discuss it with Daming!"

The envoy was obviously panicked. He had never thought about going to war with Ming Dynasty!

This is not something he can decide!

Before coming here, the church didn’t say anything about starting a direct war with Ming Dynasty!

"Were you discussing just now?"

"Still threatening?"

"People of foreign races dare to confuse the people on the mainland of the Ming Dynasty with their evil words and deceive the people of the Ming Dynasty. Their substandard behavior is something that the Ming Dynasty will not tolerate!"

"Do you really think that burning those hundreds of missionaries will end it?"

"You don't want to fight, but Daming doesn't agree!"

"Pass on my decree and order Han King Zhu Xiaqiang and Wind King Zhu Xiafeng to conquer the Ottomans and completely destroy the cancer of the Holy See!"

Zhu Yue sneered when he heard this, and then directly issued the order for the Western Expedition in a cold tone!
As soon as these words came out, the messenger's eyes were so frightened that he fainted!
The entire court was in an uproar!
No one expected that Zhu Yue would take the initiative to start a war with Osman!

Although the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of any country with its current national strength, and is sure to win against any country, in the eyes of most civil servants, war is not advisable, and rash use of weapons is a taboo!
But the noble generals are happy!

Their opportunity to make great achievements lies on the battlefield!
If the Ming Dynasty did not fight, then where would they be useful?
The military generals were naturally overjoyed and hoped to have their own share of this Western Expedition. Even if they were responsible for escorting the food and grass, that would be an achievement!

As for the civil servants, although they did not want Ming Dynasty to go to war, the name was chosen by Zhu Yue himself, and none of them had the courage to refute!

Because they know it’s useless to refute!

So the news that the imperial court was going to march to the west that day spread directly from the court. Zhu Yue directly issued an order to announce it to the world. At the same time, he asked the Han King Zhu Xiaqiang to take charge of the western expedition, with the Wind King Zhu Xiafeng as his assistant!

The two great vassals of the Ming Dynasty marched westward at the same time, which was enough to give the Ottoman Empire enough face!
Zhu Yue's order to Zhu Xiaheng and Zhu Xiafeng was that, no matter it was Constantinople or Jerusalem, as long as it was a place where the Holy See existed, they must attack it, and they must not let a single heretic leave alive!

In fact, in the original history, this matter should have been done by Zhu Xiye!

But Zhu Yue obviously doesn't want Zhu Xiaye to get involved in the battlefield too early, and he also considers it for his super male physique!

The two elder brothers, Zhu Xiaxuan and Zhu Xiafeng, also understood why their father would suddenly give such an order!

This is obviously to let the two brothers help the fourth brother to attack the west first!
After receiving Zhu Yue's imperial edict, Zhu Xiaqiang and Zhu Xiafeng immediately understood what their father meant, and at the same time they also felt that this arrangement was the best!
They also don't want Zhu Xiaye to be stimulated on the battlefield and stimulate his hidden special physique, otherwise Zhu Xiaye will only become a tyrant as originally recorded in history!

When Zhu Xia Feng attacked Japan before, it was equivalent to helping Zhu Xia Ye once, and this time it was the second time!
As early as a few months ago, Zhu Xiaqian had captured the entire Western Region, destroyed the Eastern Chagatai, and the Western Region had also been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiaqian was considering whether to continue to find excuses for the Western Expedition or to stabilize the situation in the Western Region first and arrange governance matters, but he did not expect Zhu Yue to issue such a decree.

It's fine now, there's no need to think about it anymore.

Zhu Xia Feng will directly lead an army of 200,000 troops from the Western Regions. Zhu Xia Feng, who is still commanding the army in the territory of the Changmao Principality, is also personally leading an army of 50,000 people from the Western Expedition to prepare to go south, intending to Alas, join forces with Zhu Xiaqiang near Damascus!

Zhu Xiafeng's 50,000-strong army was almost all the elite among the elites. All members were cavalry, and among them there were more than 30,000 cavalry archers alone!
What prairie people are best at is tug-of-war, that is, riding and shooting!
This tactic of kiting the enemy on horseback has also been used by Zhu Xifeng to great perfection!
However, cavalry archery can only be used in plain warfare. If it is siege warfare, it is not good at it!

But siege warfare is also relative!
If it were a strong and solid city wall like the one in the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the blessing of city cannons, it would definitely be impossible to defeat!
But it's absolutely no problem to fight a dozen Western castles and the like!
Build some ladders that can be used as battering rams!

When it came to attacking the Ottomans in the west, all the 50,000 elite men under Zhu Xifeng were excited!
The main reason is that the territory of the long-haired barbarians is really too cold. If they had a choice, they would naturally hope to go south!

In addition, these 50,000 people are all elite troops who follow Zhu Xia Feng. Their morale is already high, and they have won many battles. Moreover, the enemies they are about to face are only the barbarians in the west. They look so familiar!

They were just Semu people in the past. As long as they are not allowed to attack existences like Ming Dynasty, everything else is easy to talk about!
And according to the tradition of the nomadic people, after they win the battle and enter the city, they can plunder!
And they only need to hand over half of the looted wealth, and the other half is theirs!

This group of nomadic troops were all conquered by Zhu Xifeng during the Battle of the Unified Grassland, and they all have bloodthirsty and greedy genes in their bodies!

And what is often needed for fighting is exactly this kind of gene!
