I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 217 The glorious record of ten people capturing one city.

It took four days and after many discussions and negotiations, Zhu Zhangui and the Sultanate of Bangladesh finally settled on conditions that both parties were satisfied with.

First, all the dukes were downgraded to one level, and the old king was named the Duke of Bengal. Except for the downgraded duke, the titles of others remained unchanged.

The fiefdoms under the name of the nobles, except for the amount of land per population according to the Ming Dynasty's agreement, all others will be handed over.

And the note requires that these nobles only have the right to use the allocated land, and have no right to buy or sell it. The ownership of the land belongs to the Ming royal family.

The power status of all nobles is limited to the Bengal region, and when they go to the other territories of Daming, they only have the most basic noble rights, which are not judged by the rank of title.

Second, all merchants in Bangladesh who want to do business must join the Sun Never Set Chamber of Commerce or the Sun Moon Chamber of Commerce. Those who do not join these two chambers of commerce will be treated as smugglers.

Thirdly, Ming Dynasty will establish a college in Bangladesh. The standard for recruiting students in the college will be based on the new learning of Ming Dynasty, and in order to preserve Bangladeshi culture, an additional class on Bangladeshi culture will be offered. (Remarks: Students can choose whether to study this course, parents cannot force it.)
Fourth, from the date of establishment agreed upon by both parties, the official language of Bengali will be abolished, and Ming Mandarin will be used as the common communication language. (Remarks: Bangladeshi officials must be proficient in Ming Dynasty Mandarin and writing, otherwise they will not be hired!)
Fifth, the private armies owned by nobles at all levels will be cancelled, and personal guards will be implemented in accordance with the specifications of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

Sixth, from now on, the land cultivated in Bangladesh no longer belongs to the individual people, but to the Ming court. No one is allowed to sell it privately, and offenders will be severely punished.

More than 20 agreements were densely written on the large letter of credence.

These conditions are conditions that Zhu Zhangui thinks Bangladesh can accept after careful consideration. In addition, the relationship between the two parties is not bad, so the setting is not too harsh.

Although there are some complaints about this in Bangladesh, but the overall situation is the same, even if there is a small opinion, they can only grit their teeth and admit it.

As the two parties signed their names and stamped their national seals, the Sultanate of Bangladesh will be officially abolished from today and renamed as Bangladesh Province.

The old king will be in charge of the political history of Bangladesh for the time being. The other small officials, the old man also sent a letter to inform them, and will rush over as quickly as possible to take over the government affairs here.

Until the officials arrive, Bangladesh will implement martial law to prevent any accidents during the handover.

After taking over Bangladesh, Zhu Zhangui began to arrange road construction.

Seeing that the agreed time is approaching, if you don't speed up, there will be trouble in the court.

At the beginning, he made an agreement with Yang Shiqi and others to win the Three Kingdoms within two years. As a result, more than one and a half years have passed, and the war on the Three Kingdoms side is not over yet, and there is even a faint tendency to expand.

If Zhu Zhangui doesn't speed up, Yang Shiqi and others will definitely jump out and stop the war.

Although Zhu Zhangui was confident in persuading them, he was too lazy to waste his time.

Besides, there are still so many migrant workers waiting at the imperial court, and there is still so much land waiting to be planted in the Three Kingdoms, which is not only a waste of time but also money.

The terrain of Bangladesh is fairly flat, and the roads themselves are well repaired. Zhu Zhangui only needs to make a simple plan and arrange for repairs.

The only trouble is in Myanmar.

Myanmar is a mountainous and forested area, not to mention in modern times, the roads of later generations are also in a mess.

It will definitely take a lot of trouble to get through this path.

However, before he has a headache about road construction, Zhu Zhangui needs to solve the old king's brother first, and cooperate with Daming's attack.

The transport team that returned again has not yet returned, and Zhu Zhangui doesn't know what's going on there.

Whether Zheng Heng and Yu Qian launched the attack according to the agreed time and route, and whether the Myanmar side surrendered or resisted desperately, he still has no idea.

In the 15th year of Yongle, Zhu Zhangui spent the New Year in Bangladesh.

As another year passed, Zhu Zhangui felt that time was getting tighter.

It has been less than 10 years since the old man passed away in history.

So far, his plan has not even been carried out to 1/10.

Many things in his plan require the help of the old man. Without the help of the old man, it would be at least several times more difficult for him to complete these plans.

After a simple new year in the Duke's Mansion of Bangladesh, after arranging for road repairs.Zhu Zhangui hurried to the northeast of Bangladesh, ready to clean up the younger brother of his old father-in-law.

"Your Highness, you are here!"

Outside a certain city in the northeastern region of Bangladesh.

Zhang Feng, who was commanding the army to prepare to attack, saw Zhu Zhangui rushing over, and hurried forward to greet him.

Zhu Zhangui nodded, picked up the binoculars and observed the situation in the opposite city, and asked.

"How's the preparation going, what's the reaction on the other side?"

"Already almost ready, just waiting for your order to attack."

"The guys on the opposite side stay behind closed doors, but judging by the strength of their troops and the people on the wall, they should be ready to resist to the end!"

Zhu Zhangui sneered.

"Hehe, it's good to resist, if you don't resist for a while, we won't be able to use the knife!"

In Zhu Zhangui's inner thoughts, if he wants to conquer a race, negotiating and luring alone will not be able to deter.

This is like training a dog. Since you want to subdue it, you must give it a sweet date with a stick.

Otherwise, it would be easy to feed white-eyed wolves just by giving benefits.

As the saying goes, it's not necessarily a good thing to promote kindness against Miqiu.

If you don’t give the Bengalis a deep memory, if Ming Dynasty needs to adjust any policies in the future, if you want to reduce the treatment of the Bengalis, the Bengalis who are used to being fed will definitely jump up and make a fuss.

It is precisely because of this worry that Zhu Zhangui wants to show the monkey to a chicken slaughter.

Take the old king's younger brother and warn those Bengali dignitaries and people who joined Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming can give you benefits, but it will also be your turn to kill and shed blood.

Be a dog honestly, keep you fed and warm, if you are dishonest and dare to make trouble, the old king's younger brother is a warning.

From the binoculars, looking at the vigilant soldiers on the city wall and the strong men who were pulled up the city wall, Zhu Zhangui ordered in a cold voice: "Go to persuade to surrender first, and if you don't agree after two times, all rebels will be killed. Do as I ordered you from the beginning!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Such a cold order, Zhang Feng agreed without hesitation.

During this period of contact with Ah Sanguo, he has completely figured out the character and means of this His Highness the Grandson.

Such a person is simply a born king. Although King Han and King Zhao are not bad, compared with His Highness the Grandson, they are far away, let alone a thousand miles away.

The monarch chooses his subjects, and the subjects also choose the monarch.

Who doesn't want to be promoted to a noble, to honor the ancestors.

Zhang Feng was just an ordinary general in the Fifth Army Battalion. Before he came, he was not conspicuous among the many generals in the Fifth Army Battalion.

And there were as many as a dozen generals from the Fifth Army Battalion who followed Zhang Fu.

The reason why Zhang Feng can serve as the commander of the right army is not only because he is Zhang Futang's nephew, but also because he is the first person in the Fifth Army Battalion to choose to join Zhu Zhangui.

After reciprocating, and coupled with his relationship with Zhang Fu, when he chose the right-wing commander, Zhu Zhangui inspected him, and seeing his ability, he recommended him to the old man.

The old man understood Zhu Zhangui's recommendation at a glance.

My little brat is planning to reach out to the Fifth Army Battalion.

Being poached by his grandson, the old man felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't refuse.

Now that it has been settled, don't think about it.

I am getting older and my health is getting worse day by day, and my fat son is not much better than myself. It is better to let this little brat take over the court as soon as possible, so as to avoid sudden incidents in the future, let the brat not only have to worry about outside things, Also worry about internal struggles.

As Zhang Feng who later joined Zhu Zhangui's group, he knew very well that he wanted to be reused by Zhu Zhangui and lead an army like Li Hu Jianghuai.

He must show absolute loyalty, greater ability, and determination to carry out orders unconditionally.

He is not bad at all, and his ability to command troops has also been passed down by his uncle. What he lacks is a chance to take off.

But those old officials in the court are still alive, and the old man also relies on them very much. He always takes those old guys with him every time he fights, which makes them young people have no chance to show themselves.

If you want to be successful, the fastest way is to become a servant of the dragon.

On the side of the crown prince, he didn't dare to touch generals at all, even if Zhang Feng wanted to curry favor, he couldn't.

The king of Han and the king of Zhao had tried to win him over, but Zhang Fu told him in private that he didn't like these two princes.

Zhu Zhanji is a good person to contact, but the other party lives in the palace all year round, and Zhang Feng can't get in touch even if he wants to.

Just when Zhang Feng thought that he had no place to display his abilities and talents, Zhu Zhangui returned from overseas.

During the military exercise before the Northern Expedition, Zhang Feng met Zhu Zhangui for the first time, and saw the new Shenji Battalion trained by Zhu Zhangui.

At that time, his heart moved, maybe it was a good choice to seek refuge with the Second Emperor's grandson.

Later, he told his uncle about this idea. Zhang Fu thought about it for a long time and asked him to wait until Bei Zheng came back before deciding whether to take refuge or not.

In a great battle in the Northern Expedition, Zhu Zhangui led his troops thousands of miles to attack, repeating Huo Qubing's actions back then, which greatly shocked Zhang Feng.

And the performance of Shenjiying caused even more turbulent waves in his heart.

The powerful firepower and terrifying lethality fascinated him even more.

Shenjiying became famous in the first battle, and Jianghuai became the hottest general of the new generation in Ming Dynasty, and he was awarded a title because of his military achievements.

After Beizheng came back, Zhang Feng wanted to get in touch with Zhu Zhangui and express his thoughts on who he wanted to pursue.

As a result, he was transferred to Peiping and lost the opportunity to contact him.

Later, when he heard that Zhu Zhangui had gone to sea again, Zhang Feng felt very regretful. If he had contacted him earlier, he would not have been transferred to Beiping to guard construction materials.

In the middle of Yongle's 13th year, his uncle wrote him a letter, asking if he would like to go overseas together, and vaguely reminded him that he was with Zhu Zhangui.

How could Zhang Feng be unwilling, and he agreed without saying a word.

Then he was transferred back to the Fifth Army Battalion, and followed the emperor and his uncle to board the ship going to sea.

When he was on the boat, because of taking care of his uncle, he and Zhu Zhangui also got acquainted.

Later, Zhu Zhangui wanted Jianghuai to worship his uncle as his teacher, and his uncle Zhang Fu took this opportunity to recommend him to Zhu Zhangui.

The two chatted for a long time that day, and he could see that Zhu Zhangui was very satisfied with him.

Sure enough, when choosing the commander-in-chief of the right army later, Zhu Zhangui recommended him and gave him a chance.

Zhang Feng knew in his heart that this was Zhu Zhangui's test for him.

If he can perform to satisfy Zhu Zhangui, he will be the Taisun Group and take root in the future.

If Zhu Zhangui is dissatisfied, he will be kept in order to win over his uncle, but the result may be just a mascot.

In order to show himself, fortunately, Zhu Zhangui occupied a bigger position in his heart. After the battle started, he used all his abilities.

Invincible all the way, with tens of thousands of people in just two months, they won most of the territory of the Ganges Plain.

If it weren't for the lack of troops behind, Zhang Feng is confident that he can take the entire Ganges Plain in three months.

He didn't know his answer sheet, and Zhu Zhangui was very dissatisfied, but judging from the current effect, it is estimated that Zhu Zhangui has already approved him in his heart.

Otherwise, the entire battle on the Eastern Front would not be entrusted to him to command.

As Zhu Zhangui gave the order to start the war, Zhang Feng began to mobilize the army and enter the combat position.

As expected of Zhang Fu's nephew, Zhang Feng's steady energy was exactly the same as his uncle's.

Offensive troops, support troops, wing troops, and ranger troops are arranged in an orderly manner.

Zhu Zhangui nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Hu Yu beside him.

"This is a general inherited from the family, and it is not comparable to ordinary Ye Luzi's background."

Hu Yu blinked blankly.

Don't look at him as Zhu Zhangui's guard commander, but his military command ability is really not good. He can't see any difference between Zhang Feng's command and Jianghuai's command.

Seeing this guy's bewildered face, Zhu Zhangui shook his head helplessly, and pointed at Hu Yu.

"Hey, it's the end of my life as a guard commander."

Hu Yu smiled awkwardly.

"It is the greatest honor for this servant to protect His Highness in this life. I have never thought about commanding a war."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Zhangui was amused by him, then glanced at the guards protecting him, thought for a while and said to Hu Yu: "When we left, how many guns and ammunition did Master Wang give you?"

"200 second-generation rifles, 5000 rounds of ammunition!"

Hu Yu reported the number without hesitation.

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

"Whether a weapon can be officially installed or not depends on trials on the battlefield. If this weapon can't adapt to the battlefield, it's useless no matter how good it is!"

"You go to Zhang Feng and ask him to arrange for you to try the new guns in the battle later!"

Hu Yu complied, and went to look for Zhang Feng with the guard battalion soldiers equipped with new guns.

Zhang Feng heard that there was a new gun, and after asking Hu Yu to demonstrate the function of the new gun, he quickly arranged a combat position for them.

"Artillery Battalion, fire!"

As the troops entered the combat position, Zhang Feng picked up the walkie-talkie, tuned to the channel of the artillery battalion, and ordered the siege battle to officially begin.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With an order issued, 50 artillery pieces of the Artillery Battalion of Zhang Feng Corps began to roar.

A round of shells crazily hit the city wall and bombed the houses behind the wall.

The enemy soldiers who experienced this kind of weapon attack for the first time were so frightened that they screamed and ran around.

And Min Ding, who was pulled up to the city wall, was terrified the moment the artillery fired, pouring out feces and urine, lying on the ground and crying loudly in fear.

"Don't mess around, hold on, hold on!"

The commanding officer on the city wall saw the demoralized troops who were bombed, while avoiding the attacking shells, they shouted to the soldiers to stabilize and not run around.

But under the roaring bombardment, his voice didn't even come out a few steps away.

"Boom!"

An iron ball slammed heavily into the wall where the officer was hiding. After being hit several times in a row, the already crumbling wall finally couldn't bear the bombardment and collapsed.

The commander, who was still yelling at the soldiers to hold on, was slapped down by the collapsed wall.

That scene was like a tomato being hit hard by a brick.

Red, white, green, and yellow shot out directly along the cracks in the bricks, spraying the surrounding soldiers all over their heads and faces.

"General Luca is dead, General Luca is dead..."

The death of the commander made the chaotic enemy army even more chaotic.

Many low-level officers turned around and ran away in order to save their lives under the fear in their hearts.

Driven by the low-level officers, the entire city wall collapsed.

Everyone ran desperately towards the city wall. Whoever dared to block the way in front would be kicked down or chopped down with a knife.

"The morale of the enemy has collapsed, the artillery battalion extends its artillery, and the siege battalion launches an attack!"

Zhang Feng, who saw the situation on the city wall through the telescope, calmly gave the siege order.

In the past few months, he has seen more than one or two cities that collapsed after only being bombarded by artillery fire, and he no longer feels any joy.

After fighting such smooth battles continuously, he has become numb.

How much he now hopes that there will be a hard bone for him to chew on for a while.

For Zhang Feng, this kind of battle without any challenges is easier than drinking saliva.

In fact, not to mention Zhang Feng, even ordinary soldiers don't have the passion to attack.

This is not a battle, it is simply a practice.

As for military exploits, okay.

Because the captives were too easy to catch, the bastards who took credit for their merits all lowered their rewards.

In the words of those guys, you are not fighting a war, you are simply going up to pick up money.

In previous wars, after a single battle, you took hundreds of prisoners, and it was only natural that you should be rewarded heavily.

But now after a battle, grabbing tens of thousands is just like playing. If the amount is too much, if you pay it at the previous price, no matter how rich the court is, it will not be able to stand such a prodigal.

In the past, the military exploits of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that one tael of silver would be rewarded for beheading an enemy, one tael of silver would be rewarded for each captive, and five taels of silver for ordinary people.

If it is really given at this price, the imperial court really can't afford it.

Ah San's gang of bastards were soft and ruthless, and they chose to surrender if they were hit hard.

In the most exaggerated case of a battle last month, a small group of ten soldiers ran to another city because they were separated from the main force.

As a result, these ten soldiers fired a few shots and captured the entire city.

Nima, when these guys went to the military meritorious officer to collect the reward in high spirits, the military meritorious officer's face turned green.

There are 6 to 10 people in that city. According to the rewards stipulated by Ming Dynasty, these 4 soldiers can get nearly [-] taels of rewards.

No matter how rich the Nima court is, it can't afford to spend like this. The military officer went directly to the old man.

The old man couldn't laugh or cry when he learned about it, but he still gave the reward that should be given, after all, he earned it by his ability.

However, the rewards for military achievements were changed afterwards. The rewards for the enemy soldiers remained the same, and the minting was changed to five qian. The kind that has the right to use but not the right to buy or sell.

Although the soldiers complained about this, no matter how few mosquito legs are, they are still meat, which is better than nothing.

Besides, the captives of the Three Kingdoms are really easy to catch. As long as you catch more, the rewards will go up!
