Chapter 539 The True God Comes
God has come!
The structure of Fatty is different from conventional Kongming lanterns, because it is too big to be hoisted with ropes, so it can only be supported by bamboo frames.

The lead set was also designed differently from other bombs, instead of being locked to the wick, it was attached to the lampshade.

According to the set time, after reaching the target position, a special fuse will be triggered, which will directly ignite the lampshade, and the bamboo basket at the bottom will fall off, and trigger the fuse of the giant bomb at the same time.

Next, is the moment to witness the miracle!
In the Ming army's position, everyone raised their heads and stared at the big fireball over Constantinople.

"coming!"

Someone yelled, with great excitement in his words.

Needless to say, this person must be from the Academy of Sciences and participated in the research and development of Fatty.

Zhu Qizhen immediately became nervous. When designing this thing, it was purely a whim. When will Ming Dynasty enter the era of nuclear weapons?
Unexpectedly, the Academy of Sciences is really powerful, and it really managed to produce such a big guy.

What is even more unexpected is that this big guy can fly with only the most primitive Kongming lantern.

The power of a bomb does not mean how much explosives are loaded, but that it can move.

There are a lot of explosives in the ammunition depot, but they can only blow up their own people.

Therefore, when the Academy of Sciences made the super-large Kongming lantern it designed, Zhu Qizhen was stunned.

He even had a premonition that perhaps in the near future, this group of scholars could really produce a nuclear bomb...

In the night sky, the flame suddenly became brighter, as if a supernova exploded.

After a brief flash, the fire quickly extinguished, leaving only a black shadow, which hit the ground like a meteorite.

The devout Ottomans were still praying, but found that the surroundings had turned into darkness again.

Where is God?

People do not know why, look up, looking for their miracles.

boom--

At a position ten feet above the ground, the fat man exploded.

This distance is calculated, and the error control is very small. It can be said that it is very successful.

However, such success was a devastating blow to the Ottomans.

In the Ming army's position, Zhu Qizhen witnessed a huge fireball and a rising mushroom cloud.

The surrounding ground was trembling, and one could imagine what kind of experience the Ottomans had in the range of the explosion.

At that moment, Constantinople was like daylight.

The ancient granite buildings were destroyed by the shock waves generated by the explosion, and no man-made buildings could withstand such a force.

Zhu Qiyu was shocked, and after a long time, he said: "Brother Huang, the power of this fat man is really..."

It was difficult for him to find a suitable adjective, because in his cognition, there was no such power.

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "This war can be over."

"Shall we attack now?"

"Don't worry, let's all go to sleep, and launch a general attack tomorrow morning."

The Ming army's position was peaceful, it was time to sleep, eat, and prepare for a decisive battle.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

The cannons of the Shenji Battalion were pulled out again, placed in a row, and aimed at the city wall riddled with holes, ready to launch a fatal blow.

Chen Ying commanded in the middle and said: "All the muzzles are aimed at the gate of the city, and blast a way for me!"

Although the city gate is full of bricks and debris, it is still the weakest point compared to the city wall made of granite.

"Prepare!"

The herald standing in the front row raised the command flag in his hand, and when the command flag fell, thousands of cannons fired.

"Wait a moment!"

Chen Ying suddenly changed the order, and the herald's hand trembled, almost falling down.

At the gate of the city, the scattered stones that had been bombarded by cannonballs collapsed, and a few people came out from inside, holding a stick in their hands. They pulled a piece of white cloth from nowhere and stuck it at the end of the stick as a white flag.

"Go to a few people and see what's going on!"

"Yes!"

In the position, a small team rode out and came to the gate of the city.

When the Ottomans who left the city saw the Ming army, they hurriedly waved the white flag in their hands vigorously, and at the same time yelled loudly, sometimes mixed with a few jerky Chinese words.

"Surrender, stop fighting, surrender..."

……

An hour later, the city gate was completely cleared.

Li Zhen led [-] battalions into the city first to prevent ambushes and sneak attacks.

However, when he took the first step into the city gate, he knew that he was worrying too much.

As far as the eye could see, it was in ruins.

The whole of Constantinople has been reduced to a hell on earth, with charred corpses lying in disorder on the streets, collapsed buildings everywhere, and the struggling and wailing of seriously injured and dying people.

The people here never imagined that what descended last night was not their true god, but the god of death.

After this battle, more than half of the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed or injured, countless buildings were destroyed, and it was a mess.

The [-] Battalion quickly took over the city defense. However, the city defense was no longer important at this time. It was only necessary to station soldiers at various streets and intersections to stabilize the situation.

Zhu Qizhen rode a tall horse and walked slowly into the city gate.

Behind him, Zhu Qiyu, Prince of Yi, Chen Ying, Duke of Jingguo, Bei Lin of the Academy of Sciences and others followed closely behind.

Everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them, the Academy of Sciences... so terrifying!
After Belin entered the city, she immediately led the people to the place where the fat man fell.

It is very easy to identify here, anyone who is not blind can see it, it is a huge and incomparably round pit on the ground.

"Record data!"

"Yes!"

The Academy of Sciences is neat and tidy. They never care about how many people died in this battle and how many buildings were destroyed.

Their focus is only on whether their scientific research results are successful, such as the fat man last night, which fully confirmed the theoretical feasibility, and it is very important to collect data in the first place.

Tong Xuan stood on the edge of the pit, feeling scared for a while.

Let's say... If, I didn't check carefully last night, I didn't see any flaws, and I blew up on the spot...

What Belin said is right, if something goes wrong with this thing, the Academy of Sciences will really take care of it!
What's even more frightening is that this thing appeared in the barracks at the same time as the emperor...

Tong Xuan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and secretly swore in his heart that if he touches this thing in the future, he must check it carefully, let alone three times, thirty times is not too much.

…………

Zhu Qizhen led a team to Topkapi Palace, and saw that the gates of the palace were all ruined walls, and the unique porphyritic patterns of granite were exposed at the broken stubble.

This is the most well-preserved building in Constantinople, but it is also riddled with holes.

At the gate of the palace, there were a hundred or so people kneeling.

Some of them were wearing armor, some were wearing casual clothes, and they bowed down one after another.

One of them said cautiously: "Sinners welcome His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Qizhen squinted and asked, "Are you Han?"

"I am... and I am not. My father is Han Chinese, and my mother is Eastern Roman. I was born on a ship, on the sea..."

This person stammered and introduced for a long time, roughly explaining his identity.

His name is Carle, his father was originally a merchant engaged in smuggling by sea, and his mother was an Eastern Roman prostitute who traded in flesh and blood. The two had been in love for a long time, and this man who could speak Chinese was born.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "What is your identity here?"

"I have no identity, I'm just a businessman. I have been to Daming, where porcelain and silk are very popular, and every time it is a huge profit..."

"Whatever I ask you, just say what you say, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes, yes... Your Majesty, please ask!"

"You have no identity, why are you here, who are they?"

"I'm an interpreter. They are all defenders of the city. To show their sincerity, they captured King Muhad and some nobles, right there..."

Kalai pointed to a corner, where several people were tied up in disorder, their clothes, beards and hairs were burnt black, if he didn't tell, who would have known that there was even a king of the Ottoman Empire here?
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Which one is the king?"

"this one!"

Calle stepped forward, pointed at one of them and said.

"Call him over!"

"Can't come..."

Calle shook his head and said, "He was knocked out."

"Ok?"

"When we caught him, he wanted to kill himself, and then...knocked out..."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing, the mighty king of the Ottoman Empire had fallen to such a point.

Carle pointed to another blackened corpse, and said, "This is Kasya, Hafiz, who was killed by the bombing. The one in green is Duke Hilde, who is in charge of money and food, and..."

Although this person is a merchant, he still knows a lot about the upper class of Ottomans, so let's introduce them one by one.

It can be seen that the sincerity of these people's surrender is quite remarkable. Headed by King Muhad, almost all the nobles and ministers in the city were arrested.

Some even died on the spot, and their bodies were carried over.

Zhu Qizhen nodded in satisfaction. With Kalai and these surrendering commanders, a lot of unnecessary troubles were saved.

Ottoman implemented a caste system, similar to the Yuan Dynasty, which divided the people of the world into several levels.

Among them, the status of the army is not high, only slightly higher than that of craftsmen, farmers and prostitutes. Therefore, these people have always been obedient to the nobles but hated in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, I will send you to death, I will come to eat meat, and it depends on my mood if I want to drink soup.

After the battle last night, the guards of the palace were the first to initiate the mutiny. They knew that if they continued to resist to the end, they would only die.

It is better to tie up the king before the Ming army enters the city, and then open the city gate to welcome him, maybe he can save his life.

At this time, Muhad woke up slowly, looking at everything in front of him, he could only smile wryly.

Then look at the tall horse in front of you, and the man in the golden armor on the horse's back... Presumably, this is the emperor of Daming. He is not very old, maybe in his thirties at most, but the calmness on his face is completely Not like a young man.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mohad suddenly burst out laughing like crazy.

Zhu Qizhen said to Kalai: "Ask him, what are you laughing at?"

Kalai turned around and Muhad said, "Kill me, the Ottomans will not submit! We still have 20 troops and tens of thousands of people. Don't think you have won!"

"And you, bitch, bitch!"

Muhad suddenly cursed at Kalai: "What qualifications do you have to stand here?"

"This is Topkapi Palace, not your pirate father's merchant ship, and your whore mother is not here!"

Calle's face was ugly, but he still recounted the original words word by word.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Tell him, I am the son of the Ming Dynasty, and I did not come here today to start a war with Ottoman, but because there are traitors in your court. The team is trying to stir up the friendly relationship between Ming and Ottoman, so I am here to help King Muhad wipe out the traitors!"

Carleigh was stunned after hearing this.

At this moment, he doubted his ability.

Is it because I haven't been to Daming for a long time, and my Chinese is unfamiliar?

Why can't I understand...

Seeing him in a daze, Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "What are you doing in a daze, talk!"

Calle scratched his head, then relayed the story to Mohad.

This time, it was Muhad's turn to be confused.

Could it be that the profiteer Carleigh made a mistake in the translation?

You blow up my Constantinople like this and say you don't want to fight me?
And help me wipe out the traitors...

You should tell me, who is the traitor?
"Calle, did you hear me right?"

Kalai nodded, and said, "King Muhad, although I don't like you very much, I can tell you responsibly that these words were spoken by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Muhad thought for a while and said: "Since he is here to help me, well, tell him that it was Hafez Kasha's idea to seize the people and ships of the Ming Dynasty, and I agree to hand them over to them." , and returned the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, if necessary, the Ottoman Empire will also provide a sum of gold as compensation."

Calle relayed the words in Chinese, then shut his mouth and waited for a reply.

Zhu Qizhen said with a light smile: "Since King Muhad insists on covering up the traitor, there is nothing to say."

"no……"

Kalai thought he didn't make it clear, so he hurriedly said, "King Muhad promised to hand over Hafiz Kasha to..."

"You don't have to say any more!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop it, and said: "Da Ming and Ottoman are friendly countries, and they could have coexisted harmoniously. Now there are treacherous people making trouble. As a king, he does not distinguish between black and white, and covers up treacherous people. Not only is he an enemy of Da Ming, but he is also against Ottoman. Thousands of Li people are enemies!"

"Your Majesty, King Muhammad has promised to hand over..."

Carleigh was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he wondered in his heart, what did he say wrong?

"I know, what you said is very clear, and his meaning is also very clear. Since you are going to fight to the end, then give an explanation to the people of the two countries!"

"That... I mean..."

"You don't need to say it, I already know how to do it."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, Yuan Bin stepped forward and drew out the saber from his waist.

Muhad was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Kalai, how did you translate?"

"I just translated according to what you said!"

"Then what's going on?"

"I, I... don't know!"

Muhad couldn't help being furious, and scolded: "You bastard, did you deliberately harm me?"

"I do not have……"

Carle's face was full of grievances, and he explained: "I, I don't know what happened!"
