At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 532 Killing God

"Where did you get the urgent report?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Baghdad!"

"Baghdad?"

King Muhad frowned and asked, "Didn't you just send it here?"

"Your Majesty, this is new, and the messenger said it was very urgent, and two horses were exhausted to death on the way they came."

King Muhad had a thought. It seemed that there was a period of time between this letter and the previous one, but this time the messenger ran so fast that the two letters were delivered one after the other.

Two horses ran to death, what information would it be?

Could it be that the Ming army withdrew?

Or is it that Duke Taoglu's fleet has returned?
Everyone stared at King Muhad, watching him open the letter, and then...

Muhad's face turned pale, and he murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."

Hafiz Pasha realized that something was wrong, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is written in the letter?"

Muhd looked at Hafiz with wide eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"His Majesty……"

"See for yourself!"

Muhad handed the letter to Hafiz, who only glanced at it and was stunned for a moment.

This letter seems to have been endowed with some kind of witchcraft, and anyone who reads it will be confused.

Duke Daman couldn't wait any longer, and asked, "Hafiz Pasha, what is written in the letter?"

Hafiz raised his head slowly, and said with a confused face: "The city of Baghdad...is broken..."

"what?"

"The Ming army captured the city of Baghdad. This letter was sent by Duke Hawley before the city was broken."

Duke Daman was stunned, then snatched the letter from Hafiz's hand, and read it carefully.

"how is this possible?"

You must know that the geographical location of Baghdad is very important. If it is captured by the Ming army, there will be a large open land next, and the Ming army can reach Constantinople unimpeded!
Looking at the signing of the letter, it was half a month ago.

The last letter was signed a month ago, that is to say, it only took half a month from the time Duke Hawley learned of the Ming army's landing to the time Baghdad was broken!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The Ming army's guards on Ceylon Island are very limited. Judging from the size of this army, it should be the main force of the Ming army, that is to say, it has just arrived from the mainland thousands of miles away.

It stands to reason that Constantinople has received information on such a large military operation, but the fact is on the contrary. So far, there has been no information indicating that the army is attacking on a large scale, and it has not even received a warning from the Duke of Taoglu. How could it be possible? Suddenly hit the Ottoman mainland, and it only took half a month to contribute to the impenetrable Baghdad?

A thought suddenly flashed in King Muhad's mind, and he said, "Is it possible that a small group of Ming troops attacked and harassed Duke Taoglu's sea blockade..."

"His Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hafiz.

"If it is a small Ming army, how can it break through Baghdad?"

King Mohad fell silent again, and now he can only face reality.

But the reality is that the Ming army launched a fairly large-scale war, and their goal is not Baghdad, but Constantinople!
After a long time, Duke Daman said: "Your Majesty, please give an order!"

King Muhad asked blankly, "What order?"

"Of course it is to fight!"

"Yes, let's fight!"

Muhad finally realized that the Ming army was coming so aggressively that everyone was caught off guard, but so what?
This is Ottoman, not you Ming, how can I be afraid of you?
"Duke Daman!"

Muhad put away his frightened look, and became that dreadful imperial monarch once again.

"Orientals dare to invade the territory of the empire, immediately summon a large army and go out!"

"Yes!"

Duke Daman's expression was indifferent, no matter what kind of wind and waves he encountered, he always had this expression.

Seeing his expression, Muhad was secretly proud of himself.

Three years ago, the Duke of Daman led an army to defeat the main force of the Eastern Roman Empire head-on, killing 20 enemies, even those who surrendered, and was dubbed the name of the God of Killing.

Today, the god of killing is back again, it's time for those arrogant orientals to taste the pain!
However, what he didn't know was that when the news of the destruction of Baghdad came, the Ming army had continued to advance northward for more than a hundred miles, and cities were destroyed one after another, and many people even had no time to send out a distress letter.

Zhu Qizhen dealt with these occupied cities neatly and simply.

After the army entered the city, they directly arrested the officials and hacked them with a knife, and then posted a notice announcing to the local people that this is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and those who are willing to obey will be the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future. If they are not willing, then die!
As for the locals who don't understand Chinese, it doesn't matter, there are people who are responsible for education.

If you can learn Chinese in the fastest time, you still hope to find a small official who is as big as a sesame mung bean. After all, some trivial and trivial matters need to be handled by someone.

Every time you enter a city, you will do the same thing, simple and rude, but extremely efficient.

When Zhu Qiyu led troops to attack the city of Mosul, he encountered stubborn resistance, and finally used cannons to forcibly break the city and occupy the city-state general administration office.

However, the Ottomans did not give in, but secretly carried out all kinds of sabotage.

After Zhu Qizhen learned about it, he immediately decreed that he would not take any measures to appease the people's resistance, and no matter how many people there were, they would kill without mercy.

This decree is tantamount to massacring the city, Zhu Qiyu was stunned secretly, the emperor seemed to be a different person, there was no mercy in his heart, only killing.

He was very worried that under the high-handed rule, the grievances in the hearts of the Ottoman people reached a certain level, and it was bound to explode. At that time, the Ming army would be backlashed.

However, to his surprise, after killing a group of violent rebels, the hostility of the general public disappeared at once.

They began to become submissive, and no longer had any resistance to the Ming army.

The nobles in the city scrambled to donate their land and wealth first, just to keep their noble status.

A new order was established, and the law and order was surprisingly good. Even the thieves and bullies suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After the city of Mosul, the resistance of the Ottomans also collapsed.

As long as the Ming army arrived at the city, they would directly open the city gate and surrender.

From the commander in chief defending the city to the ordinary people, they lined up to welcome them together.

They will even prepare the sun, moon and dragon flags of Ming Dynasty, or find someone who can understand Chinese, and write down the table in advance.

Although everyone thinks it seems a bit wrong to do so, they will not hesitate to throw away their conscience and morality when facing the cannons of the Ming army and choosing between life and death. After all, life is the most important thing.

Taking a step back, many people here were originally citizens of Eastern Rome.

It has only been three years since the Ottoman Empire replaced the Eastern Roman Empire. It seems that there is nothing wrong with changing their status and becoming a citizen of Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, it has already happened once, so what if it happens again?
