my days with tyrants

Chapter 381 Ambassador Yang is tearing people apart again

Ambassador Yang's western expedition stopped at Trabzon.

Of course, although it was said to be the Western Expedition, no battle actually took place.

The 500-strong Beijing Camp followed him, trekking all the way from the capital to the Black Sea. During this period, more than [-] people died due to diseases and accidents...

This is inevitable.

3 people traveled more than [-] miles on an expedition, and only [-] died. This is already a miracle. Of course, it was mainly because Yang Feng had a team of medical experts behind him to provide protection. He even had to perform the surgery himself when he encountered someone who needed surgery. The surgery was performed under the guidance of professional medical scientists from Sister Liu.As for the result of the operation, that is no longer important. He performed the operation himself. If he can die, he can die. What can't be cured is because of his superb medical skills and his godly knife skills.However, the condition of the [-]-capital camp is not bad. After all, they have not endured hardships along the way. No matter where they go, there are local lords waiting on them. Those chieftains who command the vassal kings have to make their own people eat well even if they have to live frugally. Eat enough.

There are also those who simply organize women's labor force.

Euphemistically called borrowing seeds.

Moreover, Ambassador Yang continued to search for beauties for them along the way, ensuring that each of them would bring back a beauty from the Western Regions.

Those who already have a wife are also eligible.

Concubine!
What a wonderful life of one wife and one concubine!
With these, they were still in good spirits even after following him for nearly [-] miles.

Ambassador Yang quickly left Trabzon and returned to Shirvan with the Beijing camp. However, he did not return by the Caspian Sea as when he came. Instead, he returned by land, that is, by Persia. At this time, his order to build the road had been issued. , the four towns in Anxi controlled by King Yan, and the three towns in Hezhong controlled by King Kangju. In short, all the Ming subjects in the Western Regions drew one out of ten, and then brought their own food and went to Hezhong, Kunling, and Beiting to prepare for road construction.

This road is called the Daming National Road.

National Highway [-].

It starts from the capital and ends at Trabzon, or Jianzhou.

Nearly [-] miles from east to west.

The whole road must be open to carriages,

Among them, the west section of the Caspian Sea was built by the vassals such as Shirvan, Georgia, Armenia, Taolisi, and Ilkhan. Of course, because the route only took Georgia and Shirvan, the other vassals could provide people or money. Discuss it yourself.

As for Osman, there is no need, because Osman has to cooperate with King Yan to prepare for the crusade against the Roman Empire.

The reason is of course their pile of titles.

There are no two suns in the sky, and no two masters in the earth.

Only the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was qualified to be called the Lord of Eternity, the King of Kings, and many other titles. A city lord in Rome actually dared to call himself such a person.

Override!

Absolute arrogance.

Must hit hard.

Therefore, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty authorized King Yan to command the Ottoman King, and the two vassals of the Golden Horde divided into north and south to attack Rome and the Balkan countries. As for whoever captured the land, it would belong to whom. What the King of Yan captured would go to the Yan Kingdom, and what the Ottomans captured would go to the Ottomans. , what the Golden Horde Khan defeated belongs to the Golden Horde Khan.

It will be like this externally from now on.

But there is no time limit. In short, they decide by themselves when to send troops.

But in this case, King Osman cannot be allowed to take care of road construction anymore. After all, this road does not go through him.

But this section is not important. After all, there are roads in Sylvan and Georgia, which are just for maintenance. It is impossible for the two of them to let a large number of people from other companies enter their territory. The latter will pay some sponsorship, and the two of them will provide people , construction will be completed soon.But the three families of Persia, Hezhong and Congling are different. They must start from Talas and go south to Samarkand, then turn from Samarkand to Bukhara, then from Bukhara to Khiva, and then from Khiva to Lake Sarykamysh, along the Uzboy River to the Caspian Sea.This is the only route that can maintain this national highway under current conditions. The key is that the national highway must have a series of stations, and the stations must have wells. It is easy to handle before reaching Khiva. The area between Samarkand and Bukhara is already densely populated. Dense oasis area.Go south from Bukhara to Chardzhu, which is Turkmenabat, then follow the Amu Darya River to Khiva, from Khiva west to Lake Sarykamysh, and then the most important and only option, modern The Uzboy River that no longer exists.

Because Khiva is desert to the west.

Pure desert.

To the south it is also pure desert.

Only the Uzboy River, which separates from the Amu Darya River, flows through it.

This channel branches from the Amu Darya at Khiva and empties into Lake Sarykamysh, emerges southwest of it and flows southwest to the Gulf south of Turkmenbashi and empties into the Caspian Sea.

Of course, there is not water all year round.

In fact, it is normal for there to be no water in the downstream section after leaving Lake Sarykamysh, and having water is a happy event. However, as a river oasis, there is stable groundwater, which can be solved by drilling a well.As for other routes, the key is that there is no water and no wells, so the strong men recruited from the three towns of Persia need to build roads on this route.This is actually not difficult. The rainfall in these places is pitiful. It is nothing more than tamping the ground. The river oasis is not a desert, and the ground is also solid. If it is tamped down, a four-wheeled carriage can be driven. It is nothing more than a light load and a heavy load.The really arduous thing is to build and maintain the inns one after another, which requires the construction of small towns one after another. It is no man's land, but it is not easy to just build roads. In short, the three towns of Persia must pay a heavy price for this.

Many people died.

The damage to agricultural production is also very serious.

In this era, famine is still common.

Now one out of every ten people has to pay for the food, and they have to bear the food themselves. This project will really become an extremely heavy burden for them, and even the maintenance of the road will be a heavy burden in the future.

As for the commerce this road will bring...

That's none of the common people's business.

The lords will indeed get rich due to the prosperity of business, but what will the common people get?
A large number of business travelers passing by will continue to push up the prices of their daily necessities. After all, it is impossible for merchants to bring food, which will only make the bottom class more miserable in the end. The more prosperous the business, the more benefits the lords will get, and the poorer life of the bottom class will be. In the end, they Become the bones paved under the national highway of Ming Dynasty.

but……

What does this have to do with the lord?

Rai.

Or from now on, Tehran.

"I still don't understand, what exactly are you objecting to?"

Yang Feng looked at the city lords in front of him.

At this time, Rai was no longer the core city of Persia. It was mainly massacred by the Mongols. In this area, Qom in the south was the center, but Yang Feng had no interest in going around there.As for the commanders in front of him, they were the commanders of the Persian Capital Commandery Department that the Ming Dynasty had just sealed. The major cities were all Jiduwei, and then the city lords were granted the title of commanders.

As for their original titles, such as Sheikh, that is a religious title.

Folks can continue to call them.

But it has no legal effect.

As for the theoretical commander of Persia, it is Shaharul's nephew Luo Sidan, who is now standing next to Yang Feng like a loyal dog.Shaharul's sons are still young, even the eldest son Ulugh Beg is only ten years old, and he also needs to win over other factions, so his second brother Umar, Luo Sitan of Shah's faction was arranged to be the commander of the Persian capital. , but Ulugh Beg, who was only ten years old, sat in Herat as a commander.Herat was Shaharul's hometown, and there were many cronies in the place. A ten-year-old son was enough. He randomly found a crony with the title of Commander of the River City, and then he personally took charge of Samarkand.As for the title of Congling Commander, it was given to Khalil, who was torn apart by Yang Feng as his biological father. The latter was stationed in Kandahar, but in Kunduz and Kabul, there were colleagues and ministers of the Commander, and of course they were all Shahs. Haru's confidant.

There are also several in Persia.

These were responsible for guarding the various places under the command of the Persian capital.

But they are different from these city lords.

They belong to the conquerors, who are the real local forces in Persia.

"Ambassador, the road is not being built in Persia, why do we need people from Persia? We can give some money, but we have to bring our own food. This is really unbearable. We are indeed loyal to the Ming Emperor, but even so we can't Forcing us to do what we can’t do.”

said a mayor.

They can all Turkify Persian.

Of course, it is not clear whether it is Turkic, Persian or Mongolian. Anyway, there is a bit of it, but Persian is the mainstay. This is basically the case in West Asia and Khorasan at this time, and this language is also used in Central Asia.After all, Persia has a profound civilization, and the languages ​​of those nomadic tribes must gradually become Persian. However, there is no accurate standard language, and there are considerable differences between them, but the upper levels can communicate with each other.

And Yang Feng can already speak.

"Sheikh, we asked you to send troops in the past, but you didn't send troops. Now the ambassador wants you to send some civilians to build roads, but you refuse."

Luo Sitan shouted.

"Emil, don't you even dare to mention your grandfather's name?"

Another city lord sneered.

The other city lords all showed knowing smiles.

Luo Sitan looked at them angrily, but said nothing.

In fact, because his grandfather was angry to death, and Shaharul surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they could no longer suppress the Persian city lords. In the end, they were just conquerors. These city lords could not defeat his family in the past, so they did not dare to resist. .But now that their family is like this, of course it is impossible to suppress Persia anymore. It is nothing more than the Ming Dynasty's signature suppression. These city lords unite to fight against this, just to establish a new order.

"So I still don't understand, what are you opposed to? One out of ten is to beat your clan? Don't you even know how to eliminate dissidents? You don't even know how to force the disobedient clans under you to pick out the young men to build roads? Not to mention that everyone in your territory is loyal to you and no one wants to take your position. I am giving you a chance, but you actually object?"

Yang Feng said.

The city lords looked at each other.

"Ambassador, if we force one out of ten, there may be rebellion."

An older city lord said with a smile.

"Kill the rebels and then divide their land and women. Don't you even understand this? If you can't kill them yourself, then Luo Sidan's soldiers will help you kill them. If Luo Sidan's soldiers can't kill them, Sha Haru will bring soldiers from Khorasan across the river to kill him.

It’s just a matter of killing a few people.

Kill all the rebels, and naturally no one will dare to rebel. "

Yang Feng said.

"Does Your Excellency teach us to kill our own people? Is this the principle of the Ming Dynasty?"

A city lord said angrily.

Then there was silence, and everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Luo Sidan, in particular, looked at this guy who was obviously looking for death with disbelief, but it was nothing strange. After all, Persia was a big place, and there were still people who didn't know Yang Feng's strength.

Yang Feng sighed.

"I don't like it when you talk to me like this."

Ambassador Yang said slowly.

Before anyone could react the next moment, he was already in front of the man like a ghost. The latter was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment. Then Yang Feng punched him in the face, and the guy screamed and screamed at him. Falling aside.The moment he fell, Yang Feng stepped on one of his legs. Because he fell on his side, the other leg was lifted up immediately and reached Yang Feng's shoulder in an instant as he screamed. Pushed forward by Ambassador Yang, he pouted...

"Ow..."

The man immediately let out a heart-rending scream.

Then he fainted all of a sudden.

But at the same time, his leg had been bent forward at a weird angle.

Then Yang Feng continued to tear upward.

"Ow..."

He woke up again.

The surrounding city lords screamed in terror and tried to escape, but the Beijing soldiers outside immediately pointed their bayonets at them, and they retreated in fear.

At this time, Yang Feng had torn it open, and the guy was bleeding like a maternal hemorrhage, and he was obviously about to die. The city lords stood there in horror, watching this scene tremblingly, until Yang Feng finally After tearing it apart, he threw one leg and half of his body at the feet of the city lords...

"I heard that some people don't believe that I tore Miran Shah?"

He said.

The knees of all the city lords became weak, and they all instinctively fell to their knees.

"I really don't understand why you are opposed. I think this plan is a good thing for you. I or Ming Dynasty does not care about your internal situation. For Ming Dynasty, whoever is loyal to Ming Dynasty will be the city lord named by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The city lord, the Emperor Ming will protect everything about him. Anyone who opposes him in the territory is against the Ming Emperor. Anyone who dares to rebel against him is a rebel against the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor Ming will send troops to kill these rebels.

What you need is not to care about your subjects, are they your tribesmen?
No!

They are the ones who share your land, your wealth, and your women.

Everything that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty granted you, including land, population, and wealth, should have been yours alone. It was these people you thought were your tribe who took away everything that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave you. You actually consider them. Don't you think it's funny?You go back and give them orders. Give orders to those families who don't listen to you. Let them take one out of ten people to bring food to build roads. If they don't go, kill them.If you can't kill them yourself, just tell me. I'll ask Luo Sidan to help you. If I don't have enough soldiers to help you, who will dare to oppose you in your own territory after killing them?
Why don't you understand?

I'm really helping you. "

Yang Feng said with a look on his face: "I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
