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

Chapter 343 Meng Yuan is destroyed!Rome belongs to Ming!
Zhu Han, is he willing to let his children become ordinary people?
You must know that Zhu Han's status is really below one person and above ten thousand people.

But Zhu Han is really willing, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he believes in Zhu Han even more.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk, Zhu Han thought of rebelling, and made every step of the way, pushing Zhu Yuanzhang to the position of emperor. If Zhu Han really cared about power, Zhu Yuanzhang would have nothing to do with him in this world.

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Zhu Yuanzhang is also very helpless, his younger brother can't support the wall with mud, what's wrong with this?
……

AD, outside the royal capital.

Daming's tunnel work has already reached three thousand steps away.

The fort has also been set up and can launch an attack at any time.

However, Sapphire didn't do anything, he was waiting.

Waiting for Wang Baobao's reply.

There is no need to talk about the importance of soldiers, and there is no need to consider the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. Today, there is only this city left in Xiyuan, and they don't have any so-called reinforcements at all.

Daming's army has plenty of supplies, and there will be no problem if we wait another ten days and half a month.

In the Byzantium at this time, Wang Baobao looked at the Empress Dowager Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and...his child, Bayan Timur.

In front of Wang Baobao smashing Bayan Timur was the Grand Master of the Great Yuan Protectorate, and his soldiers did not know that Wang Baobao was his biological father.

Moreover, in the cognition of Bayan Timur's small head, under the 'teaching' of others, he believes that the emperor is supreme, and everyone in the world should kneel before the emperor.

But... what happened today?

When she came to see Wang Baobao, the first thing Empress Dowager Qi did was to make Bayan Timur kneel on the ground, and she just knelt like that without saying why.

Empress Dowager Qi felt very uncomfortable. This was because she had talked with Wang Baobao countless times in the past few days to make Wang Baobao change his mind, but Wang Baobao didn't listen at all.

"Grand Master, I don't understand why you are so stubborn. Meng Yuan has become a thing of the past and has no chance to rise again. The Ming Dynasty is in the limelight and the army and horses are strong. Even if you resist, how long can you resist?"

The Empress Dowager Qi was narrating, but it was more like asking: "We fled from the Central Plains to the northern grasslands. You said that we still had a chance to make a comeback. I believed it. We fled from the grasslands to the west. You said that we can make every effort to retake it. I believe in everything about us; I migrated to Rome with you all the way, and you said that we lived a stable life here, and I also believed in you and was willing to follow you, but until now you are still stubborn and don’t hit the south wall Don't look back... I want to ask the grand master, is my request not worthy of respect because it is with you?"

"..."

Faced with Empress Qi's questioning, Wang Baobao had nothing to say. He also knew that the current Empress Dowager Qi no longer wanted to be a queen, nor did she want to have luxurious clothes and food. Years of wandering made her yearn for a safe life.

It was also for this reason that Empress Dowager Qi persuaded Wang Baobao to surrender. She could give up everything and just want to be safe.

Empress Dowager Qi also knew that in this world, she could not achieve whatever she wanted, and she had to rely on Wang Baobao for many things. That day, Empress Dowager Qi received the news from the envoys. After Wang Baobao woke up, Empress Dowager Qi directly persuaded Wang Baobao to give up. Pointless resistance, surrender to the Ming army, but who is Wang Baobao?

If he wanted to surrender, why wait until now?

Therefore, Wang Baobao directly rejected the words of Empress Dowager Qi, vowed to fight to the end with Daming, no matter how much Empress Qi persuaded, it was useless, and in the end, Empress Dowager Qi was also tired. It was useless for me to persuade you, so I will hold your son I can persuade you together, right?

Empress Dowager Qi dragged Bayan Timur to force Wang Baobao to surrender to the Ming army.

Wang Baobao was disgusted by this.

It is true that Bayan Timur is his son, but this is an undisclosed secret. Besides, he is the king of a country. Is there any reason for the emperor to bow down to his courtiers?

Wang Baobao looked at Empress Dowager Qi and sighed helplessly.

Empress Dowager Qi came to him at this time, how could he not know the reason?

Today's Meng Yuan has no ability to continue to resist, and failure is an inevitable outcome, but Wang Baobao is unwilling to accept this kind of failure. He has exhausted his life's efforts, but in the end it is nothing, and no one can accept it.

"I, Wang Baobao, will never come down!"

Wang Baobao seemed to be responding to the Empress Dowager Qi, and he seemed to be strengthening his heart, but when he saw the Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur, Wang Baobao's heart softened.

Not because of the Empress Dowager Qi, but because of Bayan Timur, his father failed to leave a peaceful land for his son, which was his dereliction of duty as a father.

Perhaps...it is a good thing that Bayan Timur survived.

Thinking that Zhao Min is now by Zhu Han's side, with her care, Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur should be able to live well.

This, perhaps, is the last dignity Wang Baobao wanted.

Wang Baobao looked at the Empress Dowager Qi, and said, "I can die, but you can live. Tonight, I will find someone to send you out. If it is possible... you can change your identity and live well. Maybe in Daming, you can be an ordinary person." Nice people too."

"..."

Empress Dowager Qi opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't speak, she just stood up and pulled Bayan Timur away.

Bayan Timur is only five years old now, and he doesn't understand many things.

But he seemed to feel that something was unusual today.

However, Wang Baobao's final decision made Bayan Timur's blood boil, and he thought that a man should be like this!

"Mother, why did you leave? Won't the Grand Master go with us?"

Bayan Timur was led out by the Empress Dowager Qi, he was puzzled and said, "Didn't the grand master say that this is our home? Where can we go after we leave home?"

Empress Dowager Qi took Bayan Timur's hand and walked out step by step: "My child, this is not our home. Our home is in the far east, where there is an endless grassland. Your... ancestors are all buried in On that land, when we get home, I'll tell you everything."

……

In the middle of the night, a carriage slowly drove out from the Byzantine royal capital and headed straight for the Ming army camp.

After Lan Yu heard the news, she didn't even want to go to sleep, she just got up and went to see the Empress Dowager Qi and their titular king Bayan Timur.

When Sapphire arrived, Zhou Buxin and Zhang Dingbian also rushed over. The moment they saw Empress Dowager Qi, Sapphire was a little unhappy: "Where is Wang Baobao? Will he not surrender?"

Empress Dowager Qi didn't know Lan Yu's identity, but she could see Lan Yu's status in this camp, facing Lan Yu's inquiry, she said: "The Grand Master doesn't want to surrender, he wants to live and die with Da Yuan."

"Hehe, it sounds nice, isn't it because you don't want to face your own failure, coward!"

Sapphire pouted contemptuously, not even daring to face her own failure, she was not considered a hero, as for co-existing with Da Yuan, that was bullshit.

You, Wang Baobao, are really so loyal to Daming, so why did you sleep with the Empress Dowager Qi?Isn't this behavior of cuckolding Emperor Dayuan the greatest betrayal?
Now Wang Baobao's behavior is both appropriate and upright, shameful!

Lan Yu glanced at the Empress Dowager Qi, then waved her hands: "Send their mother and son to rest, and then send them back to Daming!"

Compared with the graceful Empress Dowager Qi, Lan Yu thinks Wang Baobao is more attractive to him.

Then, Lan Yu issued an order: "Siege the city tomorrow!"

……

Early the next morning, Timur, who learned that the Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur had been sent away by Wang Baobao, found Wang Baobao angrily. When they met, he shouted angrily: "Wang Baobao, what do you mean? Send the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to Ming Jun, do you want to see them die so much?"

Faced with Timur's questioning, Wang Baobao was not angry, and said in a calm tone: "My sister is following Zhu Han. Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are both heroes in the world, so I don't think they will embarrass their orphans and widowed mothers."

Zhu Han won't embarrass their orphans and widows?
But they were enemies after all. Timur was very angry at Wang Baobao's behavior, and what was even more angry... Wang Baobao decided on such an important matter without discussing it with him. This is not taking him seriously!

Wang Baobao didn't want to explain anything to him, and said to him: "Get ready to fight, the Ming army is about to attack the city."

"..."

Timur didn't know what to say.

Now he knew that the Ming army had waited for so many days without attacking the city, they were just waiting for today.

Having captured the Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur, today's Great Yuan is considered dead in name only.

Then... let's continue the war!
The Ming army surrounded four gates, and in front of each city wall, there were at least twenty artillery pieces and five rocket launchers.

Lan Yu, Zhang Dingbian, and Zhou Buxin each stood in front of a city gate. Lan Yu launched the attack first, and the sound of the artillery was deafening. Then the other three walls fired at the same time. For a while, the deafening shelling sound covered the entire Byzantine capital.

The Hungarian and Ottoman servants who were following behind were all paralyzed now, and they felt incomparably terrified when they saw the Ming army covering Byzantium with firepower.

If they had fought against Daming with Wang Baobao back then, would the artillery now fall on them?
In the final battle, Lan Yu vowed to fight vigorously, and he would turn this city into ruins.

If you are poor, you will strike with precision, and if you are rich, you will have full coverage.

Sapphire watched the cannonballs hit the city wall one after another, and the bricks of the city wall fell off one by one, and there was a huge wave in her heart.

At this moment, Sapphire seems to have been sublimated...

He seemed to see another pattern on the battlefield.

The struggle in the sword age will eventually pass.

The future is the era of artillery.

one day!The whole day!The four walls of the Byzantine royal capital were all blasted into ruins. As for the catapult prepared by Wang Baobao, it was directly reduced to a pile of parts before it could be used.

The cannons piled up on the city wall were all buried under the ruins at this time.

All of Xi Yuan's long-range attack equipment was lost in this bombing.

Timur and Wang Baobao, who were hiding in the city, both looked desperate at this moment.

Daming's artillery blasted away their final determination to resist, and now their ears still have tinnitus...

How should we fight this battle?

Neither Wang Baobao nor Timur said a word. They seemed to have a premonition that their doomsday was coming.

On the second day, the Ming army began to attack the city. The [-] Ming army plus [-] Hungarian and Ottoman servants marched from the periphery.

Sapphire did not rush to swallow it in one gulp, but walked steadily with every step.

With money and food supplies, the people in the city were bribed, and all the enemies hiding in the dark were brought out.

When the sun was setting, only a lonely royal city remained in the entire capital of Byzantium.

At night, Lan Yu ordered to stop the attack again, organized defenses to prevent Wang Baobao from attacking at night, and then began to bury the pot to cook, and pulled the artillery from behind.

At night, internal strife broke out in the palace. Some people who wanted to surrender attacked Wang Baobao and Timur, but they suppressed them forcefully.

Although the rebel forces have been suppressed, the strength of Wang Baobao and Timur has also been greatly weakened... But even if they are not weakened, what can they do?

The Ming Dynasty directly disintegrated Xiyuan, which Wang Baobao painstakingly managed, with artillery and money.

Tomorrow is probably the time of death, right?
Wang Baobao wanted to have a final fight with Daming, he wanted to die standing up.

It's a pity that Daming didn't give him this chance.

The rumbling artillery blasted the palace into pieces in just half a day. Timur, who was organizing his people to resist, was directly hit by the shells, and his head was directly smashed into pieces.

When Daming's army invaded the royal city, a raging fire was ignited in the largest palace. After Lan Yu saw it, she immediately called the sergeant to organize to put out the fire.

According to the captives, Wang Baobao was in this palace, but now that it is burning, no one can prove whether he is dead or alive.

In Lan Yu's heart, Wang Bao must die. He wants to see people die and see corpses. Now that he has been burned to ashes, how can he prove his identity?

Unfortunately, Sapphire fell short in the end, leaving only a charred corpse.

Because there was no way to prove that this bone was Wang Baobao, Lan Yu was so angry that he stepped on the bone directly into pieces: "Grind the bone into powder and sprinkle it out for this general!"

There is no way to prove that he is Wang Baobao, and Sapphire will not be greedy for credit, but defeating Rome, conquering Hungary and Ottomans are all real credit.

However, Sapphire is not ready to leave just like that, he wants to do more.

After defeating Rome, Sapphire returned to the military camp. He has learned not to show off, and he will not sit on the throne of the royal city after conquering a royal city. Instead, he will return to the military camp immediately and find Zhang Dingbian Discuss things: "I heard that there is still land west of Rome? The Valois dynasty has fought wars with England and Scots for many years?"

"Yes, their strength is not enough to worry about, but I don't think now is the best time to fight them."

Zhang Dingbian had invaded the Valois Dynasty. He didn't think the Valois Dynasty had any ability to resist the Ming army. However, the Ming army had been fighting for too long. If they continued to fight, the soldiers were mentally exhausted and easily overturned.

Seeing that Sapphire had some thoughts about continuing to attack the Valois Dynasty, Zhang Dingbian expressed his concern, and Sapphire nodded in agreement after hearing it: "Well, what you said is indeed a problem, I will give it to His Royal Highness first. , Your Majesty, ask them and see their opinions."
