PS: The strength of the country behind you is the reason why a person can stand in front of the enemy's guns with his head held high

There was a loud bang, and the earth shook. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire city of Chenzhou trembled under the fire of the cannons, as if the wrath of the gods had made all those who had committed sins have to kneel on their knees. The explosive packets thrown by the flying thunder cannon exploded one after another on the top of the city, and the rolling waves of air raged, even if the soldiers who lay on the ground in time would be lifted up and smashed down on the city wall.

"Marshal, it's not a way to go on like this!" A thousand-man ran to the entrance of the Shangcheng Trail in a hurry, and Boyan stood there solemnly, not moving, frowning and looking at the city head that was ravaged by flying thunder cannons, his fists clenched.

Glancing at the commander, Boyan gritted his teeth and ordered: "All the people in the city are withdrawn, and the cavalry and trebuchets under the city are also informed, ready to counterattack at any time, I don't believe that this southern barbarian will have so many firearms for them to squander." ”

"Boom!" An explosive bag landed impartially at the corner of the city wall not far in front of Boyan, and the air waves rolled and fluttered on the city wall, and several guards rushed up in fright, but were stopped by Boyan. The strong wind was like a knife cutting in his face, if it wasn't for the protection of the battlements, I'm afraid Boyan would have been overturned to the ground just now.

Just when a group of guards couldn't help but say that they were ready to leave with Boyan, the shelling of the city, which had been going on for a long time, finally subsided.

There was a chilling silence between heaven and earth.

"Don't act rashly!" Boyan shouted loudly, the experience in Lumen Mountain at that time was still fresh in his memory, and the cunning southern barbarians were likely to wait for the Mongol soldiers to rush to the city, and then another round of artillery bombardment, so Boyan would rather be one step later than take this risk.

However, several sentry spies who rushed to the city first had already rushed back: "General, there is a messenger from the Southern Barbarians outside!" ”

"Emissary?" Boyan frowned, "The Southern Barbarian really can't hold on." ”

Looking up at Chenzhou City, which was shrouded in smoke and dust, Jiang Hao shook his head: "The explosives package of the Flying Thunder Cannon is already insufficient, and if you want to take this Chenzhou, you can only rely on the brothers to fill it with their lives." What's more, our opponents are Boyan and Shi Tianze, these two 'old friends' are not so easy to deal with. ”

"It's also because of this that the imperial court is not allowed to enter." Chen Zhilema stood beside Jiang Hao and said lightly, "After all, now Daming's energy is focused on Nanyang, including new firearms such as firearms and explosives bags, which are all given priority to Nanyang. Although the Ming Dynasty is large, there are only one or two workshops that can produce these firearms, and even Nanyang is almost unable to supply them, let alone support the Northern Expedition of the Zhulu Army. ”

Jiang Hao sighed hatefully: "Then we can only watch Chen Zhou have nothing to do?" They all hit the door, but they have to watch Boyan and Shi Tianze enjoying themselves inside! ”

Chen Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "Are they happy? Commander Jiang couldn't help but think too much, knowing that they were the ones who dropped the explosives bag on their heads. And before they figured out the reality of the Ming Dynasty, even if Boyan and Shi Tianze had the ability to reach the sky, they had to worry about it every day. Now that Chenzhou City has been surrounded by the Tianwu Army and the two Huai Army, how can these two people sit back and relax? ”

"That's true." Jiang Hao bowed slightly, looking at the back of the man in literati clothes standing in front of the two of them, "The Tianwu Army is powerless to attack now, and we have done our best to deter the enemy, and the next thing is to see his three-inch incorruptible tongue." ”

"According to the news of the leader of Yang Zheng, the envoy of the Mongolian Tartars, You Xuanfu, is in the city, and this dispute was also provoked by You Xuanfu." Chen Wei narrowed his eyes, "In the former Song Dynasty, this You Xuanfu didn't cause us less trouble, but because his opponent has always been His Royal Highness King Ming, he always can't take advantage, and this time since he is more and more frustrated, it can't make him comfortable." ”

Huo Ran, the man who had been silent in front, turned around: "You two are whispering behind someone's back, but it's happy!" ”

"Zhao Xianggong," Jiang Hao tightened the reins of his horse and said in a deep voice, "Take care!" ”

Zhao Wenyi shook his head a little helplessly, and looked at the city gate again: "Accept your auspicious words!" ”

————————————————

Zhenla is a first-class power in the South Seas, and its capital city is naturally impossible to enclose a village with wooden planks like Bo Ni, a Nanyang island country, to be called a town, but compared to the Annam Shenglong Mansion, which is close to Guangnan and absorbs more and is richer in the Central Plains culture, this capital is still more downtrodden and simple, of course, if it is compared with Lin'an in the former Song Dynasty and Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, it is not a grade at all, and this capital is at most a county in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, for the group of killers guarding Ye Yingwu's side, there is no substantial difference between the village surrounded by wooden planks and such a simple town, they are all goods that can be exploded at once with a flying thunder cannon, simple and crisp.

"Chen Daming Xuanwu Army (Shenwei Army) all four compartments command Li Fu (Yang Bao), welcome His Royal Highness!" Yang Bao and Li Fu were already standing at the gate of the palace, with little blood sprayed on the earthy yellow palace wall behind them, and even through the explosion of half of the gate, you could see the soldiers who were nervously cleaning the battlefield, Zhenla's resistance was obviously beyond Ye Yingwu's expectations.

Turning over from the horse, Ye Yingwu strode forward, and personally supported the two people who bowed and saluted: "The two Aiqing led the strong team from Annan all the way to Zhenla, hard work and high achievement, and every battle must be victorious, preaching the prestige of my Ming Dynasty in the four seas, two of them are under the command of the service, it is really the great fortune of this king." ”

Li Fu and Yang Bao are a little flattered, after all, they themselves know that this battle is not as easy as imagined, especially in the end, Zhenla's resistance has to be described as tenacious, if it is not to catch the lord of Zhenla, I am afraid that even if the capital of Zhenla is captured now, it is not so easy to calm down the whole country.

"The merits of the two generals and many soldiers will be rewarded by the military department and the household department according to the merit book." Ye Yingwu said with a smile and walked towards the door.

Li Fu and Yang Bao didn't dare to hesitate when they saw this, and hurriedly followed.

"Have you caught anyone from the Ilkhanate?" Ye Yingwu looked at the dilapidated palace after the war, "Or the Zhenla people didn't say who was standing behind them." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Royal Highness, I didn't catch a single live mouth, but I found more than ten corpses that committed suicide by poisoning in a mansion outside, all of which looked like Westerners, which was the only one in this city." ”

Ye Yingwu frowned, at this time, the Western Ocean, that is, the Persian Gulf in later generations, was the location of the Ilkhanate, it seems that his speculation is accurate, but he still underestimated the determination of the Ilkhanate to intervene in the South Seas, otherwise it would be impossible to elect so many people who resolutely sacrificed their lives for the country.

However, it is very troublesome not to catch the live mouth, what was caught in Bo Ni is just some craftsmen, Ye Yingwu can also see that those people do not know the roots, but Zhenla is different, after all, the Ilkhanate meddled in the South Seas, it started from Zhenla, obviously these Westerners who committed suicide by poisoning themselves are likely to be the central personnel of the Ilkhanate in the entire South Seas, and they must be the people who know the most.

What worries Ye Yingwu even more is that the Ilkhanate just relies on this to send some craftsmen and envoys to make Zhenla bow down to his orders, and even fight with the Ming Dynasty to the end, it must be a fantasy, and there must be something unsavory behind the two sides.

"Youtu!" Ye Yingwu snorted, and Xiao Yangzi hurriedly presented the map.

The map of the entire Nanyang opened, Ye Yingwu took a second look at the surroundings of Zhenla, and immediately took a light breath. When I was in college, I studied ancient Chinese history, and I can only be said to have dabbled in the historical evolution of the South and Western Oceans.

Stretching out his hand and knocking heavily on the Delhi Sultanate to the west of Zhenla, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyangzi, tell the people of Jinyiwei to check this Delhi Sultanate." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yoko hurriedly left.

And Ye Yingwu was not in the mood to look at the customs of the entire Zhenla Palace at this time, so he just frowned and said nothing. And Li Fu and Yang Bao stood behind and heard the Delhi Sultanate, and they couldn't help but be stunned. Their understanding of the South and Western Oceans is half a pound and eight taels, in fact, they can't compare to Ye Yingwu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Delhi Sultanate suddenly appeared in the dark.

The Delhi Sultanate was the weakest period in India's history, the ****** religion had to retreat into the country established by India after being hurt by the Ilkhanate, and even only controlled North India, and South India was still in a state of chaos or even uncivilized, but because the successive monarchs of the Ilkhanate set their sights on the west and did not want to compete with the suzerainty (Mongol Yuan) in the east, they never made a move against the Delhi Sultanate.

It wasn't until 300 years later, when the Delhi Sultanate was easily replaced by the Mughal Empire, that India entered a brief period of power, and before that it was a lamb to the slaughter.

But now the history has become unrecognizable because of the emergence of Ye Yingwu and the Ming Dynasty's attack on the north and south, Mongolia lost Dali, and was no longer able to conquer the South Seas, conquer the Delhi Sultanate, and the war between countries has always been a persimmon to pick the soft pinch, before the Ilkhanate put the soft persimmon in the east, to find the west Tianfang and the big food to fight to the death, but also do not want to rob the suzerain's job, but now the suzerainty is no longer able to deal with the Delhi Sultanate, the Ilkhanate naturally does not want to let go of this piece of fat.

It is not so simple to annex the Delhi Sultanate with the strength of a single country, once it is mired in protracted war and quagmire, the Ilkhanate can easily be dragged down by the newly established and unstable foundation, so the best option for them is to find a reliable ally.

And Zhenla, which is closest to the Delhi Sultanate and is known as the first power in the South Seas, is the best choice.

Although Zhenla is strong, it is also relative to these weak countries in Nanyang, the Ilkhanate does not have the confidence to annex the Delhi Sultanate, and Zhenla does not have this ability, but people have greedy desires, Ye Yingwu firmly believes that as long as the Ilkhanate gives Zhenla enough benefits, the two countries can reach cooperation. As long as the two countries are caught between the east and the west, the Delhi Sultanate basically has no power to fight back.

And as a reward, the Ilkhanate, which will inevitably act as the main force, should give some benefits to Zhenla, and the corresponding Zhenla will also help Mongolia to fight to the end in Nanyang and Daming.

"It's a good calculation." Ye Yingwu chuckled, "Delhi Sultanate······ If the Ilkhanate wants to annex you, then so-and-so might as well use you to disgust the Ilkhanate. Uncle Chapter! ”

"The last general!" Li Fu hurriedly stood up.

"Write a letter in your name to the lord of the Delhi Sultanate, to put it mildly, the content of which is that His Royal Highness the King of the Ming Dynasty sincerely invites the lord of your country to meet and discuss how to deal with the Ilkhanate." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, emphasizing again, "Remember, speak politely, don't scare people." ”

Li Fu couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Your Highness can rest assured." ”

"This game of chess in Nanyang is finally over." Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, "But Nanyang, after all, is just a corner of the world's chess game." ”

The clouds gradually pressed down, and the muffled thunder could be faintly heard in the sky, and the usual hot wind had dissipated, and the branches and leaves of the trees inside and outside the palace swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. Ye Yingwu stood on the steps and looked up at the sky.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning exploded, splitting through the thick clouds.

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings." Ye Yingwu muttered to himself.

——————————————————

The gates slowly opened.

Restraining the war horse, Huaidu looked at Shi Tianze beside him with some puzzlement: "Shi Xianggong, do we really want to negotiate with the Southern Barbarians?" You know, the brothers haven't rushed out to kill them yet. ”

Shi Tianze said lightly: "Kill a fight, why?" Just by virtue of the cavalry of the cowardly Xue army? The old man will give you all the cowardly Xue army now, I don't know how sure General Huaidu is that he will be able to break through the encirclement of the southern barbarians outside the city? You must know that the Southern Barbarians do not have the slightest intention of encircling three and missing one, and now there are probably no less than 100,000 enemies in all directions of the entire Chenzhou City, coupled with sophisticated bows and crossbows and advanced firearms, even two cowardly Xue armies are useless here. ”

Huaidu was silent for a moment, although looking at the entire Chenzhou City, the courage of charging into battle, he was the second, and there was really no one who had the courage to be the first. But although Huaidu is a fierce general, he is self-aware, he knows very well what kind of strength the cowardly Xue Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army are after several defeats, even if the soldiers shout revenge every day, but they really face the Ming Army, in the face of those embryos that leave an unforgettable impression on them, it is still inevitable to be afraid and stage fright, not to mention that outside the city of Chenzhou, it is not 10,000 Ming troops, but 100,000, a full 100,000 army.

A figure has appeared outside the city gate, holding a scepter symbolizing the Ming Dynasty in his hand, slowly urging the war horse, and behind him on the left and right, only two cavalry are accompanied, one is holding the Ming Red Bottom Dragon Flag, and the other is holding the "Zhao" character general flag.

The man did not have the slightest fear or retreat, so he slowly came to Shi Tianze in front of everyone, looked the old man up and down, and arched with a smile: "Daming Huaixi appeased Zhao Wenyi, and was ordered to send an envoy to Chenzhou, dare to ask Mr?" ”

"Mongolian Shi Tianze." Shi Tianze said lightly, as an old man who has been crisscrossing the sea all his life, his name is like thunder in the north and south of the river, and there is no need to add any official position in front of it, everyone who hears this name will know who it is.

It's just that contrary to Shi Tianze's expectations, Zhao Wenyi shook his head a little confused, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Shi Tianze? I don't know which Shi Tianze the old gentleman is? ”

"Presumptuous!" Huaidu's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword and snorted coldly.

The surrounding Menghan soldiers also subconsciously took a step forward, as long as their general gave an order, they would not hesitate to cut the unknown southern barbarian in front of them to pieces.

Although Huaidu is a Mongolian, he often does not take the Han people in his eyes on weekdays, but he still respects and admires the famous court like Shi Tianze, after all, the old man has worked hard for Mongolia, and without Shi Tianze's help, Mongolia wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, how difficult it is.

For Shi Tianze, Huaidu was grateful and admired, and Zhao Wenyi looked like he had never heard of this name, which made Huaidu think that he had been greatly insulted.

Shi Tianze waved his hand, Zhao Wenyi couldn't really have heard of his name, but he just used this as a dismount, no wonder this Zhao Wenyi had the courage to enter this Chenzhou City with two entourages, and he still had some ability, and Shi Tianze also knew very well that the reason why Zhao Wenyi was so confident and did not hesitate to challenge his majesty was because standing behind Zhao Wenyi, not only two entourage, but also 100,000 troops outside the city and a rising Ming Dynasty.

A strong country is the basis for Zhao Wenyi to stand here with his head held high! (To be continued.) )
