A few days later, Anna I, Golovkin and others arrived in Tsaritsyn by boat, and met with His Majesty the Ming Emperor in the city, which had been renamed Yongbin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And then they got what they wanted.

Anna I was canonized as the king of the Moscow domain of the Ming Empire, and was given the surname Yang to change her name to Yang Na, and by the way, she was also accepted as a goddaughter by His Majesty the Emperor of God, which is also Emperor Yang's first goddaughter, but I am afraid that he will have many goddaughters waiting to receive in the future, such as Maria of Austria. Teresa or something. The land with Moscow as the center of the length and width of 200 miles became Yang Na's fief, and then Queen Yang Na was also very sensible to change her country name to loyalty and filial piety, so the Kingdom of Moscow became the kingdom of loyalty and filial piety, and since then both loyalty and filial piety will always be subject to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

Golovkin, on the other hand, was canonized as a foreign duke, and his former fiefdom as a duke of the Russian Empire was a fief.

All the other loyal people who followed Anna were rewarded, among which the nobles who originally had fiefs were all named foreign vassals with their original fiefs, and even the captain who helped her escape was named a foreign lord and obtained a piece of land of fifty by fifty li as a fief, and what surprised the outside world a little was that the Ming pilot who escaped from danger with her was also named a baron of the outer domain, and obtained a piece of land of fifty by fifty miles as a fief, which was next to the fief of King Zhongxiao.

This is the first time you know.

For the first time, a Ming dynasty was named a foreign vassal.

But then people don't need to be surprised, because more meritorious generals of the Ming army were awarded the title of foreign vassals, and the commanders of several group armies of the Ming army did not have titles, and this time they were all named dukes of foreign vassals, and each of them obtained a piece of land of one hundred by one hundred miles on the land of the former Russia as a feudal state, and those army commanders, brigade commanders, and even middle and lower-level officers with special military merits, a total of more than 40 people were awarded the title of foreign vassals. At the same time, Emperor Yang's six daughters also each got a piece of land in Russia as a fief, and their fief area must have been larger than that of Goddaughter, so they got five hundred li by five hundred li of rich plains, mainly the lower reaches of the Don and Volga rivers in southern Russia. In addition to these fiefdoms, there are a large number of Russian lands that are divided into royal and imperial territories, and are divided into four provinces for management, in short, on the map of the Ming Dynasty, Russia has completed the division at this time, and this huge empire has become nearly a hundred kingdoms, principalities, marquis, princes, sons, and men, hundreds of royal and imperial territories. And this is not the final division, because Emperor Yang said that in the future, if you make great contributions in the next war in Russia, both the Ming army and the local defense army may be given foreign vassal titles, even including the local defense forces of the newly feudal states on Russian soil, so it is still unknown how many pieces Russia will be cut into in the end.

It's a good method.

Immediately afterwards, the former Russian vassals, including Queen Yang Na, who had just been entitled, began to recruit rebels, formed their own local defense forces to help the Ming army fight, and slashed butcher's knives at their companions.

It is said that at this time, there were many people in Russia who understood that the general trend had gone, especially those nobles who fantasized that they could also keep their fiefs, and they constantly brought their families and a small number of subordinates to these people, and then turned into their local defense army, acting as a precursor to the king's division. On the contrary, those ordinary soldiers were obviously too deeply deceived by ignorant thoughts, and they are still obsessed with it, and continue to insist on going their own way on the road of resisting the advanced civilization of the Ming Dynasty, and then they are crushed by the wheel of history, so that large-scale chaos within the Russian army is inevitable.

The generals wanted to surrender, but the soldiers didn't do it, and it was difficult not to be chaotic, and even on the battlefield, those generals cooperated with the Ming army and deliberately drove the soldiers into the trap, so that the Ming army could easily slaughter.

Then they can take credit.

In short, the Russian Belt and Road parties have sprung up like mushrooms.

And the same people who were full of enthusiasm for the traitors and plunderers who came to Russia to commit rape and plunder, but could not participate in this feast because of their identity limitations, also began to look for the Ming army generals and the six princesses who were vassals to be named, and were authorized to change the signboards of these vassal local defense forces, and then went to Russia to rob money and women. Including some mercenary companies also saw a way to make a fortune, such as a large mercenary company in Daming, they simply took the line of Princess Ning'an, and the whole company turned into a local defense force of Ning'an, thousands of mercenaries who had captured slaves in Africa for many years were murderously shipped to Russia, and Russia went to catch those Russian female slaves who were extremely popular in Daming.

In return for the naming right, Princess Ning'an not only does not have to pay a penny for her royal defense army, but on the contrary, the royal defense army has to take out a large part of the income and give it to this little girl who has just entered high school this year to squander it casually.

And that's a good thing.

This is definitely a happy thing for the Ming Empire government, and they don't need to provide military funds for these people, let alone provide compensation for these casualties, but these people have taken over the tasks that originally needed the Ming army to undertake.

Why not?

In fact, in the end, the total number of mercenaries who poured into Russia with this purpose even exceeded 100,000, just like those American defense contractors in post-war Iraq, who acted as assistants to the Ming army so well that many times after the Ming army conquered a certain place, they simply contacted these guys and handed over the maintenance of local law and order to them to do the work for them. And the facts have also proved that these villains who slaughtered slaves in African villages, pretended to be pirates in the Japanese country, and colluded with bandits to kidnap and extort in India, the efficiency of doing this kind of work far exceeded that of the Ming army, after all, the soldiers of the Ming army are the children of good families, and they are still a little unable to let go of many things, and these guys have no bottom line at all.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Duke of Wallachia requests naturalization."

Chen Lie said to Yang Feng.

At this time, Emperor Yang had moved the palace to Voronezh, this port on the Don River had just been captured by the Ming army, and had become the fief of his nineteen princesses. On the contrary, the Russian guerrillas, who had been driven like rats before, regained their vitality and were desperately attacking the Ming army's transport lines everywhere, but their efforts were of little use, and the Ming army that had turned into a defensive state was almost invincible.

Although the transportation of supplies was almost cut off, they had enough food and ammunition to maintain until next spring without attacking.

"Wallachia?"

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment.

Of course, he soon remembered which country it was, and that what was now Wallachia was only the equivalent of the southeastern part of later Romania, that is, the plains of the lower Danube, to the south was Bulgaria, which had been subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, to the north was Moldavia, which had been annexed to Sweden, and to the west, Transylvania, which was still standing.

"But their Grand Duke is their own, right?"

Yang Feng said.

Unlike Greece and Bulgaria, which had previously naturalized the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Duke of Wallachia was not an outsider.

"Yes, but they're willing to give their land."

Chen Lie said.

Of course, he understood what the emperor meant, Bulgaria and Greece were foreign monarchs before, and those local tyrants could divide the country by driving them away, but Wallachia, as a native monarch, took the initiative to ask for naturalization, so it would not be good to divide the people again, but it would definitely not work if they were not divided, but the Grand Duke of Wallachia obviously also had this kind of consciousness, so he simply cut himself apart, so that maybe he could make Emperor Yang happy and keep more territory.

"Well, what are they going to offer?"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Obviously, Emperor Yang Shenhuang is indeed very happy, this kind of small country belongs to chicken ribs, and it is not worth wasting effort strategically, but if they don't annex and lose face, it is a good thing that they can take the initiative to surrender.

"They say that everything is the Holy Judgment of Your Majesty."

Chen Lie said.

"In this case, I don't want them to have too many places, and it's better to give me this piece as a royal direct land!"

Yang Feng said and drew a circle on the map, the area is not large, although it is a little closer to Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia, but it is not a good place, at least the Wallachian envoy who is waiting for the judgment of fate After seeing this circle, he also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced, of course, he didn't know that the circle drawn by Yang Feng was the most valuable place in their land, which had supported a country in the original history and almost annexed the whole of Europe.

Well, there is Ploiesti.

During World War II, Mustache produced almost all of his oil from this humble place, with the exception of coal liquefaction, a 15-million-ton-a-year oil field that powered the Third Reich's war machine.

Immediately after the envoy returned to Bucharest, he was equally glad to see the Grand Duke of Wallachia in this circle, and then without hesitation he decided to pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and in this way another country in Europe turned its back on its faith, swept God into the garbage heap, and began to kneel in front of the shrine in stumbling Chinese, reading the oracle that recorded Yang Feng's quotations. In the final analysis, for these monarchs in Europe, God is certainly not as important as their territory, and the common people can fight for their beliefs, but they will never believe in bloody wars, and the purpose of the resistance of the monarchs of the great countries is nothing more than to try to keep more things, and they think they have this strength. But the monarchs of small countries are very self-aware, like Wallachia, it is estimated that the Ming army can completely sweep them away after opening an army, they can submit to the Ottoman Empire back then, and of course they don't mind submitting to the Ming Empire at this time.

Anyway, this is the fate of small countries.

The submission of Wallachia gave the Ming another subject country on its territory, and there was also a royal direct territory full of oil, and there was also a Black Sea around the Black Sea, except for Crimea, Bessarabia and Moldavia, which were still in the hands of Sweden, all the others fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire eastern coast of the Balkan Peninsula fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest was ......

Push west.

Flattening the Balkans.

Ambrakia, Greece.

Or the Anshun Domain of the Ming Empire.

Wang Yu, a soldier of the 3rd Battalion of the 247th Brigade of the 51st Infantry Army of the Tenth Army of the Ming Army, stood on the deck, looking at the approaching dock with excited eyes, where countless girls in colorful costumes were waving the dragon hugging the sun and moon flag in their hands and cheering at him in stiff Chinese......

Of course it's not just him.

Beside him there was a whole sentry of soldiers standing on the deck of this troop carrier, enjoying the enthusiasm of the maidens like the American troops who had come to the stick in history, or they could also enjoy their bodies, and behind this troop carrier, there were hundreds of the same troop carriers, the yellow masts and chimneys formed a long forest on the sea, the black and white hull seemed to be boundless, this was a whole infantry corps, they were about to start their journey in Europe here.

And their first target, on the other side of the mountains to the north, was named after the Count of Monte Cristo.

Ioyanina.

Maybe there's a Heidi there waiting to be their slave girl, too.

The troop carrier slowly approached the shore.

The gangway was lowered, Wang Yu couldn't wait to pick up his backpack and walk down, the rifle on it kept shaking as he walked, and the moment his feet stepped on the dock, he took out a handful of dragon dollars and silver coins like showing off, and then scattered them at his feet, and heard those beautiful girls scream, a lot of heads hung down under him, and even a face went directly between his legs.

"Ma, I love this kind of scene."

He said smugly.

And behind these Greek girls, hundreds of local defense troops of the Anshun Domain, wearing the latest black uniforms similar to the Ming army, lined up neatly, holding a front-loading rifled gun with a bayonet in their hands, and in front of this group of soldiers, their commander, a retired former Ming army second lieutenant, pulled out his saber, the knife rested on his shoulder, and shouted very majestically, all the soldiers immediately put the butts of their guns on their shoulders, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed obliquely at the sky, and when the commander's second command sounded, they pulled the trigger together to salute the king who stepped on their land.

Behind the officer, An Shunbo, who was wearing a python robe, put on a smile on his face and walked quickly forward to welcome the arrival of the imperial army.

At this time, the same scene was played out in Volos, Greece, Varna, Bulgaria, and other places, including from Istanbul to the west, a total of four army groups of Ming troops began to attack the Ottoman territory in Europe in four directions. That is, modern-day northeastern Greece, Albania, Macedonia, southern Bulgaria, and Kosovo, which was left of the Ottoman Empire after losing Istanbul and part of Asia, including their capital, to Skopje, Macedonia.

But Emperor Yang, who took the destruction of the country as his mission, did not let them go.

It was the last battle against the Ottoman Empire.
