Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 242 I want the United States 【Please order】

"Okay, then let's send someone to Wu Sizang to have a look. Is it better to split up one or two, after all, the land is huge!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Don't worry about Uzang. There must be an army that adapts to the local climate, and it can't be formed without one or two years of selection and training!" Zhu Han said.

After making arrangements for his little nephews, Zhu Han naturally wouldn't forget about himself.

After all, although Zhu Han's King of England has a very generous salary, he is also the most honorable King of the Kingdom.

But Zhu Han hadn't chosen a fief for himself before, and now that Daming has enough territory, Zhu Han can naturally choose a fief that will belong to him in the future.

"Brother, the little nephews are all arranged, so I have to choose a good place for myself!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Choose! Pick whatever you like. If our Qiwu family likes it, Yingtianfu can do it! Anything like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Peking is fine!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a big wave of his hand.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's words are all sincere, without any pretense.

Zhu Yuanzhang's affection for Zhu Han really made him entrust Yingtian Mansion to Zhu Han, and he has nothing to say.

"Yingtian Mansion? Suzhou Mansion? These places are too boring, I don't even want them!" Zhu Han said with curled lips.

These are all good places to be rich, but Zhu Han has visited all over the years, and there is nothing new at all.

Since you want to choose a fief, it is natural to watch the fief grow from scratch in your own hands, and the process from weak to strong is the best.

"You don't want these places, so tell me, we will agree to any place you want!" Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he didn't want the place where Zhu Han danced to be too remote.

For this younger brother, I always miss him by my side.

but.

Just be afraid of something.

The place Zhu Han picked made Zhu Yuanzhang almost jump in a hurry.

"I want this piece, the eastern half of Dongsheng Prefecture!"

Zhu Han pointed on the map with his hand, and it was the thirteen continents of North America where the "Ugly Country" of the later generations made its fortune.

"What? Are you crazy? This is a barren land!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately opened his eyes and shouted.

The general in charge of exploring the New World in Ming Dynasty was Hu Dahai and his son Hu Guanzhu. According to the information of the Hu family and his son, the further east the Dongsheng Prefecture in the New World went, the more backward and barbaric it would be.

Zhu Han just chose such a broken place for himself.

And it's so far away, my brother Zhu Yuanzhang is almost 1 reluctant.

"This is actually a good place, with flat and fertile land, rivers and lakes, and a port close to the sea. If you can live a small life behind closed doors, it won't be too beautiful in the future!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a distressed expression on his face when he heard it.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he felt that Zhu Han chose such a dilapidated place because he was afraid of threatening his nephew's imperial status in the future.

Such a big sacrifice made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very guilty.

"I want this piece of land, but I haven't decided when to go. After all, it's too far away. Only a powerful fleet can guarantee unimpeded navigation with Daming!"

Zhu Han said to himself.

To go to the east coast of the New World, in addition to the sea route, that is to cross the mountains from the west coast, as well as the vast Great Plains, and finally reach the east coast.

Either way, it takes a long time to accumulate preparations.

"Don't worry, we've already promised you this piece of land. We'll go when we're ready and want to go. We don't want you to go so far!" Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a bit far away, but it's really a good place. When I build it there in the future, you can go and have a look!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"We are the son of heaven, the emperor of Ming Dynasty. We must not let the people below make fun of us when we run so far away." The older brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became reserved.

Zhu Han curled his lips, but he didn't think so.

"By that time, the Ming Dynasty will be rich and powerful, and its power will increase everywhere. Brother, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't wander around to show the emperor's majesty, won't you be walking in brocade clothes at night like the history books say?"

Zhu Han's words made his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, well said, at that time we will travel around the world with you, so that everyone can see the majestic appearance of our old Zhu family man!" Zhu Yuanzhang also said jokingly.

The two brothers often do this in private, which is a manifestation of the close brotherhood.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Zhu Han mentioned that Yingtian Mansion had newly opened several restaurants, so he wanted to take his old brother out in Weifu to have a taste.

At this time, the eunuch outside the palace gate suddenly rushed in to report.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the northwest. A major earthquake has occurred in Lanzhou. Thousands of residents have been killed and injured. Countless fortress walls and houses have collapsed. Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Old Guo Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were shocked when they heard the news.

The area around Lanzhou in the northwest was the front line of the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols.

If a major earthquake causes great losses, it will inevitably attract the Mongols to attack Lanzhou.

At the beginning, Zhu Han felt that the loss might not be that big.

but.

He also realized the seriousness of the situation after receiving urgent reports from the Lanzhou Xingdu Division one after another.

This major earthquake caused considerable damage to the Lanzhou area. The forts and side walls built by the Ming army here were severely damaged, and even many forts built at the center of the earthquake were completely reduced to ruins.

A considerable number of Ming army warehouses were destroyed in the earthquake.

Lanzhou has stockpiled millions of grains, clothes and weapons, at least half of which were lost in the earthquake.

In addition to material losses, many casualties were also reported in terms of population.

There were nearly 1 casualties among the local soldiers and civilians alone, and many Ming army fortresses suffered a huge proportion of casualties. Many sentry fortresses with more than a dozen people were wiped out by officers and soldiers.

The defense line set up by the Ming army in the northwest has many loopholes in an instant.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to preach the imperial decree overnight, transporting supplies and soldiers from Shaanxi to Lanzhou.

However, even if the imperial decree is issued at a speed of eight hundred miles.

It will be a long time before the material aid and soldiers arrive in Lanzhou.

The Mongolian Yuan army led by Wang Baobao is located in the Tianshan Mountains not far from Lanzhou, and in the east of Yilibali.

The defense line of the Ming army in Lanzhou was fragmented. Once Wang Baobao launched an attack on Lanzhou, it would inevitably cause great shocks in the northwest region.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared for the worst, and issued thirteen imperial decrees overnight, mobilizing Xu Da from Sichuan to lead the elite to quickly return to Lanzhou to preside over the overall situation.

……

When the Ming army was in chaos in the northwest, Wang Baobao did get the news earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.

However, it is different from what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han worried about.

After Wang Baobao knew that the Ming army in Lanzhou was in chaos, he did not have any plans to attack the Lanzhou area. On the one hand, it was because the Ming army in Lanzhou suffered a lot of losses, but the fighting style of the Ming army made the Mongolian Yuan army Up and down are extremely afraid.

Even if the Ming army suffered casualties from the earthquake now, Wang Baobao and the generals of Meng and Yuan were still not fully sure of defeating the Ming army.

Moreover, Wang Baobao is now facing another powerful enemy, that is the Western Golden Horde.

Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde led an army of more than [-] troops to the river.

The Tianfang believers in the Hezhong area warmly welcomed this Golden Horde Khan who had converted to the Tianfang religion.

Wang Baobao originally thought that the Golden Horde would not be able to get supplies and would definitely retreat on its own.

However, it now appears that Wang Baobao's wishful thinking has been miscalculated.

Now Wang Baobao must lead his army to drive the Golden Horde out of the river.

Otherwise, after the Golden Horde acquired the Hezhong area, it would inevitably continue to move eastward, threatening the Mongolian Yuan's base in the Tianshan Mountains.

Yilibali, Huozhou City.

Tens of thousands of troops waved their banners and stretched for more than ten miles outside the city of Huozhou.

The flag symbolizing the Mongolian Kingdom and the Yuan Dynasty fluttered in the wind among the troops.

Grand Master Wang Baobao of the Great Yuan Fu Kingdom personally led this army, preparing to go to the Hezhong area to defeat Navrus Khan of the Golden Horde.

For the Golden Horde that invaded the Hezhong area, Wang Baobao did not dare to lead the army to fight back at the beginning.

Because Wang Baobao was afraid that the Ming army in Lanzhou would raid his rear after getting the information.

Now, the Lanzhou Ming army suffered a lot of losses due to the earthquake, and a large amount of supplies and food were also lost in the earthquake, and they were completely unable to fight against the Yilibali area.

Wang Baobao took advantage of this gap and decided to meet Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde in person.

However, although the Lanzhou Ming army suffered a lot, Wang Baobao still had a strong psychological shadow on the Ming army, so he personally led the army to conquer Hezhong, and left his younger brother Tuyin Timur in Huozhou to assist the Empress Dowager Qi and The little emperor Bayan Timur stabilized the rear.

"Don't relax your vigilance just because the Ming army suffered an earthquake in Lanzhou. You must send enough scouts to investigate the news to prevent the Ming army from attacking Yili!"

Before leaving, Wang Baobao still worriedly told his younger brother Tuyin Timur.

"An Da, don't worry, I will definitely disperse all the scouts, and I won't let a single soldier of the Ming army escape my sight! I will never have any problems with Yili in my hands!" Tuoyin Timur assured with chest.

After exhorting his younger brother Tuyin Timur, Wang Baobao exhorted his wife, Empress Dowager Qi, before leaving.

"No matter how provocative the Ming army is, or the biggest loophole is exposed in the Lanzhou area, never believe it lightly. Do not send troops to attack the Ming army under any circumstances!"

Because Timur's temper was a little irritable, Wang Baobao was afraid that his rear base would be lost, so he asked his woman to keep an eye on it.

"Don't worry, I'm here! I won't let Tuoyin Timur mess around!" Empress Dowager Qi assumed the posture of a sister-in-law teaching her uncle a lesson.

The current Great Yuan Dynasty is in the hands of Wang Baobao, except that it is still wearing the skin of the Golden Family, almost everything has completely changed.

The Great Yuan Emperor and Mongolian Great Khan was the illegitimate son of Wang Baobao, the regent empress dowager was a Goryeo woman, the Qixue imperial guards were all Sinicized Mongols like Wang Baobao or Han Chinese like Kong Kejian, and the grassland cavalry was composed of Wala people. His ancestors were strong enemies during the rise of Genghis Khan.

It can be said that the current Yuan Dynasty is not Mongolian at all except for a name, and the orthodox gold family blood is even less.

The real descendants of the Golden Family stayed in the eastern part of the Mongolian grassland, and they are now the subjects of Ming Dynasty.

But even if the gold family content is zero, the great yuan army led by Wang Baobao is still very powerful.

After all, the enemy they will face is the Golden Horde.

The ancestor of the Golden Horde, Jochi, has always been rumored to be an outsider who was cuckolded by Genghis Khan.

It can be said that the gold family content of the Golden Horde was very doubtful from the beginning.

When the Yuan Dynasty fought against the Golden Horde, it was naturally impossible to lose in terms of momentum.

The news that Wang Baobao assembled an army of tens of thousands to point his sword at the river quickly reached the ears of Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde.

After receiving the news, Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Kublai Khan is a despicable usurper, his descendants are really stupid and despicable!" Navrus taunted his generals.

After the troops of the Golden Horde entered the river area, they were warmly welcomed by the local Tianfang believers.

These believers all regard Navrus as the savior of Tianfang Cult.

The current Golden Horde army needs people and food.

The right time, place and people are all on the side of the Golden Horde.

Wang Baobao led an army of tens of thousands to attack, and Navrus felt that he could easily defeat them in the river as long as he waited for work.

"Only by defeating people like Wang Baobao, I will let the glory of Allah shine on the grassland!"

Navrus, Khan of the Golden Horde, made great wishes to the Tianfang believers in the middle of the river.

All Tianfang believers are fighting with high spirits, and they are full of confidence in what is coming.

Looking at the huge army under his command and the united Tianfang believers, Navrus also felt that he had no reason to fail.

"First eradicate Wang Baobao's rebellious pagans, spread the glory of Allah to the grassland, and then send troops south to occupy Baghdad and Persia. I will repeat the great achievements of Genghis Khan and the Prophet!"

The Tianfangjiao army headed by the Golden Horde has a total strength of about 12.

Navrus claims to be 50.

The Mongolian Yuan army led by Wang Baobao had only about 6 people.

However, in terms of momentum, Wang Baobao will not be willing to be at a disadvantage. He claims to be 30.

In the Golden Horde army led by Navrus, they held high both the Sulu ingot symbolizing the Great Khan of Mongolia and the Crescent Banner symbolizing the Tianfang Sect.

Now that the Ilkhanate and the Chagatai Khanate have completely collapsed, and the Yuan court is a pagan, the Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde naturally declared himself the successor of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

The army of the Golden Horde is almost entirely composed of cavalry, and only a small number of Hezhong Tianfang believers have organized part of the infantry.

The cavalry all over the mountains and plains rolled forward on the land like a tide.

The Mongolian Yuan army led by Wang Baobao ran into the army of the Golden Horde as soon as it entered the Hezhong area.

"So many cavalry?"

"The Golden Horde is indeed powerful!"

"And there are a lot of armored cavalry!"

...

When the generals of the Mongolian Yuan army saw the size of the cavalry of the Golden Horde, they were immediately taken aback.
