my days with tyrants

Chapter 407 How lonely it is to be invincible
Galata.

"I just guessed you wouldn't miss this kind of thing."

Looking at Yang Feng who suddenly appeared here, Zhu Di said calmly.

Then he looked at the girl behind Yang Feng...

"Who is this?"

He said.

"The illegitimate daughter of Manuel II is with me as a gift, and by the way, she is also a supervisor."

Yang Feng sat on the high chair, looking at the ruins of the castle in front of him, and said without looking back.

The girl behind him looked at the seemingly endless soldiers in front of her with shocked eyes. However, so far, the pontoon bridge across the Bosporus has not been completed, so except for the thousands of personal guards led by Zhu Di, there are only a few left here. The people below are Zhao Shengjun.Because the leader of the Zhao Sheng Army is a money rat tail, the current Zhao Sheng Army in the three Jianzhou states are all money rat tails. Looking at the girl, it looks like the Qing army is approaching Peiping, and these barbarians are looking at them with evil intentions. Looking at her, she was so frightened that she quickly walked behind Yang Feng.

"Bastard daughter?"

Zhu Di said.

"Their belief does not allow concubines. They can only have one wife. They can divorce and remarry at most, but they can only marry the same lord's daughter. So they have to do it secretly outside, but the resulting children can only be regarded as illegitimate children. In this way They have no family status, are not counted as their real children, and of course have no inheritance rights.

But the relationship is a bit special after all.

So it happened to be used as a gift for me, and I was quite satisfied. "

Yang Feng said.

Of course, it goes without saying how he was satisfied.

"Manuel is willing to surrender?"

Zhu Di said.

Not far away from him, the captured Genoese were being held down by the Zhao Sheng Army, and they were bleeding one by one on the beach of the Golden Horn Bay. As for the dead bodies, they were thrown directly into the sea. Because they had many conflicts with the Genoese in the Black Sea, the Zhao Sheng Army had no control over these. No one is left alive, and all the Genoese men in the entire Pella colony have now been killed, and the women have been divided up.

Fancha even picked out a young and beautiful girl, who was already tied up and ready to be presented to Ambassador Yang.

He is still sensible.

"He is willing to surrender, but the Venetians and Crusaders in the city are not willing. If he publicly announces his surrender, these people will kill him, so he can only promise that when you attack the city, he will open the door in the city. As for his surrender After that, you can send his whole family to the capital to donate books. From now on, his whole family will stay in the Ming Dynasty and leave it to you. As for the money in the city, he can be said to be a poor man. Even the gold and silver decorating the roof of his ruined palace have been stolen. No, as for the palaces from Rome's glory days, they are now in ruins and are not worth grabbing. But the wealth is in the hands of the Venetians, so you don't have to worry about the soldiers having no place to loot because of his surrender. His only request is not to I have already agreed to force them to convert. Anyway, after he goes to Ming Dynasty, whatever you want to do here has nothing to do with me."

Yang Feng said.

The money grab is important.

After all, so many people besieged the castle mainly for looting.

It is true that Manuel II had no money, but fortunately the Venetians in the city did.

"Then there is no need for him to surrender in a hurry. You go and tell him that I don't want him to surrender now. As long as he continues to hold on, I not only require him to continue to hold on, but also ask for help from outside.

The longer he held on, the better. "

Zhu Di said.

"Uh?"

Yang Feng was surprised.

Then he smiled.

"Ah, you want to use Constantinople as bait to attract all the reinforcements, and then bleed them first?"

He said.

"The Balkan mountains are high and densely forested. Instead of entangled with them in the mountains and forests in the future, it is better to attract them all. As long as they still think of blocking me under the castle, they will definitely keep coming to die. It is best to let them move further away." Those of them are also attracted.”

Zhu Di said.

"But tactics like yours require sufficient supplies."

Yang Feng said.

"Is it difficult for every Turk, Persian, Kurd to sacrifice a sheep to me?"

Zhu Di said calmly.

Well, it does.

Kill two birds with one stone!

The siege of King's Castle attracted support from European countries that were trying to block this gate, especially the lords of the Balkans. Otherwise, it would indeed be difficult to deal with the high mountains in the Balkans, but here they would be at Zhu Di's mercy.But the biggest problem with this strategy is that Zhu Di cannot obtain the supplies needed by a huge army from the Ming Dynasty. All supplies can only be provided by vassals in West Asia and the Middle East, so the waste of national power is passed on to them.On one side is Yang Feng's national highway plan, and on the other is Zhu Di's siege of the castle. These vassals can only continue to plunder the subjects, and they can only do this. After all, if they really want to capture the castle, the whole of Europe will open its doors and wait for them to plunder. What's the point of asking the people to endure a little hunger?
He starved to death so that he could conquer Europe in the future.

But in this case, the excitement on Yang Feng's side would be invisible.

He can't wait here for two years.

"In that case, it's up to you."

He said.

After all, this was Zhu Di's war, and it had nothing to do with him originally. As long as it could ensure that the Roman emperor presented his land to the Ming Emperor and became his vassal, that would be fine.

At this time, the observer on the balloon above their heads blew the horn. "what happened?"

Yang Feng said.

"Issa's brother Murad came from Adrianople with 20 cavalry. He was originally stationed west of the castle. He probably came to rescue Pella. But he didn't expect us to capture Pella so quickly, so they came It's a little late. The Ottomans in the west currently regard his other brother Suleiman as sultan. Murad fled from the east and attached to Suleiman. In addition, he also had a brother Musa who led troops to fight in the south. . However, Murad is not only the Ottomans, but also some Bulgarians who are their vassals. These are Suleiman's forwards. Suleiman is joining forces with Serbia and other countries to claim [-] troops.

But Issa said that they would not exceed [-] at most.

Besides them there was the King of Hungary.

The crusade he organized gathered knights from Wallachia, Poland and other countries, but Tokhtamysh was already attacking Moldova. The Lithuanians and some Russian Grand Dukes allied forces attacked him. It is estimated that Walla has arrived by this time. "

Zhu Di said.

"Find me a weapon!"

Yang Feng said.

"What, you want to go to the battlefield?"

Zhu Di said.

"Since I don't have time to wait to see you enter King's Castle, I'd like to have a good fight at least. There aren't many opportunities for me to take action in the world now. Being invincible is really lonely!"

Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"Go find it yourself, but I'm afraid I don't have anything suitable for you here. They are all too light."

Zhu Di said.

Yang Feng stood up.

At this time, Zhang Fu had already assembled Zhu Di's guards and Zhao Sheng's army to form a formation west of Pela. It had the Golden Horn Bay on one side and mountains on the other, which was just right for defense. In the strait behind them, transport ships were still moving. Soldiers came in a steady stream.Not far from the ferry, a nearly kilometer long pontoon bridge is being built on the sea. Because this pontoon bridge will take a long time, it must be built very solidly.

Yang Feng walked around the military camp, and Isabella followed carefully.

Although she didn't understand what Yang Feng and Zhu Di were talking about, she also knew at this time that the man who was very rude last night was definitely not a Tatar businessman as he said, but an important minister from the East...

They can all be on an equal footing with the man who is said to be the whip of God!
"Damn, it's so hard to find!"

Yang Feng picked up a mace and threw it tens of meters silently.

"Your Highness, is this a cannon? Why is it so small?" "

Isabella said.

She decided to address Yang Feng as His Highness.

Yang Feng looked at her hand. She was touching a rapid-fire cannon. It must have been broken and thrown here. There were more than one, all waiting to be transported to Jianzhou for repair. Yang Feng's eyes immediately lit up and he walked over to pick it up. When it came to this rapid-fire cannon, it originally only weighed a hundred pounds. Apart from the thick muzzle and difficulty in holding it, the sheer weight was not worth mentioning to him.

But the grip is not difficult to solve.

Yang Feng picked up the other one and slammed it on the trunnion of the cannon. The trunnion was immediately knocked off.

He pushed the trunnion into the muzzle of the gun.

Slightly thicker.

But he picked up the rapid-fire cannon and punched it hard against the rock next to it. The trunnion was more than half in, and the part left outside was just right to hold, but there should be a counterweight behind it. This one took a blooming bomb and poured it out. The gunpowder inside is poured into the lead bullet, and then it is screwed from the fuze hole to the trunnion.

Finally a strange weapon was completed.

"Come on, beauty, I'll take you to kill someone!"

Yang Feng held the rapid-fire cannon and proudly said to Isabella.

Zhang Fu, who was waiting for him next to him, silently pointed to a four-wheeled carriage.

"This is the connection between hearts!"

Yang Feng patted his shoulder with emotion.

Then he got on the carriage.

But Isabella mounted the horse.

Two horses pulled a four-wheeled carriage that made a temporary appearance as a chariot, carrying Ambassador Yang straight into the battlefield. Yang Feng, who was so wet that he didn't even wear armor, carried a rapid-fire cannon straight through the formation amid the excited roars of the surrounding soldiers. …

No need for armor.

The most he faced was a crossbow. He was wearing raw silk inner armor, a body armor on the outside, a bulletproof insert, and a modern helmet on his head. It would be a joke if he couldn't stop even the crossbow.

At this time, the Ottomans were forming formation on the opposite side.

This Murad should be the later Ottoman Sultan. He ended the ten-year civil strife in the Ottoman Empire after Bayezid was captured, and killed Isa, Suleiman, Musa and other brothers. However, his territory was Amasya. , in the Anatolian Plateau, has long been lost, and now it can only rely on Suleiman.At this moment, he was in front of the formation, constantly galloping and scolding his soldiers in formation, followed by hundreds of personal guards behind him. Unprepared, he was reminded by the personal guards, and then he looked at Yang Feng's carriage rushing towards him in shock.In the chaos, his personal guards immediately turned to fight. At the same time, countless sharp arrows in the formation flew towards Yang Feng. The two horses were shot into hedgehogs in an instant. Murad, who had originally wanted to hide in the formation, watched the two horses fall.

At the same time, Yang Feng jumped up and landed in front of his astonished eyes, then ran towards him at a speed exceeding that of a war horse.

Then his bodyguards instantly overwhelmed Yang Feng.
