Needless to say, on this list, the first name is none other than Zhu Houzhao.

As the lord of the Ming Dynasty, on the list of Zhu Houzhao's books, except for him, I am afraid that no one can be in the first place.

But in that first column, in addition to Zhu Houzhao, there is another person whose name is tied for the first place.

Under normal circumstances, the lord of a country, the mother of a country, a yin and a yang should be juxtaposed, and the person who is tied for the first place with Zhu Houzhao should be the current queen.

However, Shao Yuanjie clearly remembered that the person who was tied for the first place with the Son of Heaven was not the queen, but the first king of the Ming Dynasty, the martial king Chu Yi, who had been in power for many years.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao could be said to have incomparable trust and dependence on Chu Yi, I don't know how many people were afraid of the power held by Zhu Houzhao, after all, with Chu Yi's power at that time, if Chu Yi was willing, he might not be able to do that move to change the day.

After all these years, the officials above the court have changed several rounds, and there are not many officials left in the court at that time.

Zhu Houzhao has completed the complete control of the court, and at this time, even if Chu Yi reappears, I am afraid that it will not affect Zhu Houzhao's status.

Some dark-minded people naturally secretly slandered the relationship between Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven, but those who really knew the relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi sneered at this.

Just like Shao Yuanjie saw, on the list listed by Zhu Houzhao, who has such a status in his mind, just by looking at the list, you can see one or two.

Even if Chu Yi has disappeared for many years, in Zhu Houzhao's heart, Chu Yi is already in the first place, even the queen, the crown prince, the queen mother, and even Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others who have assisted him for many years are far from being comparable to Chu Yi.

On the entire list, there are more than 100 names listed by the Son of Heaven, but Chu Yi is the only one who can go hand in hand with Zhu Houzhao.

Chu Yi's name is so eye-catching, juxtaposed with Zhu Houzhao's name, it looks so extraordinary.

In the second column after the names of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi, the first assistant Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, the prince of Anguo, and the queen and the crown prince Zhu Zaiji were in the forefront.

The queen and the crown prince were ranked behind Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming by the Son of Heaven, obviously in Zhu Houzhao's heart, the status of the two pillars of the country is a few points higher than that of the queen and the prince.

In fact, this is normal, you must know that now Zhu Houzhao can be said to be in the prime of life, practicing Taoist health preservation all year round, and his body is not too good, unless it is a sudden disaster, otherwise, he dare not say that he will live a long life, but it is really not a problem to live for a few decades.

Therefore, for a long time, Zhu Houzhao did not have to consider the issue of the inheritance of the throne, and naturally, the importance of the queen and the crown prince was not as good as that of the pillars of the country like Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming.

Of course, if Zhu Houzhao is dying of old age, at that time, needless to say, it is natural that the status of the crown prince will far exceed that of Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing.

Depending on the timing, the perception of the same thing will naturally be different.

Shao Yuanjie naturally saw his name on the list, in contrast, Shao Yuanjie was very relieved, at least in the mind of the Son of Heaven, his status was not bad, and he was almost ranked in the top ten.

Anyway, he has been with the Son of Heaven for so many years, for many years, Shao Yuanjie can really be said to be doing his best by the side of the Son of Heaven, without the slightest transgression, plus he conditioned the body of the Son of Heaven and urged the Son of Heaven to strengthen his body, Zhu Houzhao is such a loving person, it is naturally impossible to forget Shao Yuanjie.

If it is not Shao Yuanjie who is a person outside the world and does not want to be rewarded by him, it is impossible to say that the Son of Heaven should at least give Shao Yuanjie the position of a marquis.

On the list, there are hundreds of names, which involve many civil and military officials in the DPRK and China, and Shao Yuanjie also found that on this list, some old princes and nobles who have been inherited for hundreds of years are not on the list.

Obviously, in Zhu Houzhao's heart, these anointed sons who have long lost the heroism of their former ancestors are not worthy of the list he set up at all.

Rustling, there was only a slight sound made by Zhu Houzhao when he wrote from time to time in the room, and Wang Zheng and Shao Yuanjie stood aside without making a trace of movement.

Ural Mountains

There was a vast scene on the vast land, and between the howling of the cold wind, a stream of bloody air permeated, mixed with the neighing of several war horses.

Just above this vast land, a tragic battle had just come to an end, and at a glance, there were corpses everywhere within a radius of more than ten miles.

Poles of battle flags were either thrown to the ground, burned with flames, or crushed under corpses.

Just by looking at this situation, you can see that there has just been a terrible war here.

The earth shook, and I saw a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the leader was Andrei, the third army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

I saw a team of men and horses behind Andre following behind Andre, heading straight for this battlefield.

When approaching the battlefield, Andre couldn't help but tighten the reins of the war horse under him, and the war horse under him neighed and suddenly stopped.

Riding on the horse, Andre looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but show a look of disbelief, turned over and dismounted, and saw Andre stumbling into the tragic battlefield.

As far as the eye can see, there are the corpses of the soldiers of the Second and Sixth Legions, and Andre, a non-commissioned soldier of the Second and Sixth Legions, can still be distinguished, and the outfits on these soldiers cannot be faked.

I heard Andre roaring: "Find me to see if there is a living mouth!" ”

The second and sixth legions, these two legions together are almost nearly 50,000 soldiers, and 50,000 soldiers are almost invincible in this Siberian wilderness where there is no figure for dozens of miles.

However, the second and sixth legions, which should have been invincible, were lying in ambush all over the field here, and the most unacceptable thing for Andre was that if the second and sixth legions were wiped out here, then where is the Ming army that was able to destroy the second and sixth legions in one battle.

Aside from the Ming Dynasty, Andrei really couldn't think of any force that could inflict a heavy blow on the Grand Duchy of Moscow in this desolate Siberian land.

Hundreds of guards left a dozen people to protect Andre, and the rest hurriedly rummaged between the corpses.

There are tens of thousands of corpses on the entire battlefield, even if this battlefield has been cleaned up, but tens of thousands of people may not really be completely dead.

Almost after a cup of tea, I heard one of the guards shouting loudly: "General, I found it, I found it, someone is still alive!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the guard, Andrei stepped forward quickly, and when he got closer, he saw a soldier lying in the guard's arms, covered in blood.

A bloody hole in his chest looked quite glaring, but this wound avoided the vital area, and it was lucky to save his life.

After simply bandaging his wounds, Andrei couldn't help but ask: "Vadkin, what is going on here, what about Captain Shetl and Captain Alyosha?" ”

The survivor who was lucky enough to be found was called Vadkin, and he coughed violently, and the pale Vaddkin couldn't help but change his face when he heard Andrei's question, and he stopped coughing for a while before he said extremely weakly: "Dead, all dead, Captain Alyosha is dead, Captain Shetl is also dead, everyone is dead......"

His body shook slightly, and the most unwilling and worst result in his heart appeared, Andre's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he almost fell to the ground in front of him.

Subconsciously grabbing Wadkin, Andrei roared in a low voice: "How is this possible, the second and sixth legions are tens of thousands, even more than the number of the Ming army, with the ability of the two legion commanders, how can there be a fiasco of the annihilation of the entire army?" ”

No wonder Andre couldn't accept it, it was too unbelievable to see such a result.

Wadkin shook his head and coughed: "There are a lot of Ming troops, a lot of artillery, the Shetl army was overwhelmed by artillery fire, the army collapsed, the Ming army chased and killed everywhere, it was too miserable, the defeat was too miserable......"

It seemed that the wound was touched by too much emotion, and Wadkin fainted in pain.

Andrei's face changed, although Vadkin didn't say a few words, but from Wadekin's words, Andrei could be sure of one thing, that is, the Ming army was not only tens of thousands of people as he thought.

"Does it mean that there are reinforcements coming? No way, it's absolutely impossible ......"

Just when Andre lost his mind, the chief of his personal guard stepped forward and said to Andre with a bit of worry, "Sir, it's not safe here, we must leave as soon as possible." ”

Andre took a deep breath, glanced up, and nodded slowly.

Soon Andrei and his party disappeared into a cloud of gunsmoke.

Just when Andrei returned to the camp and immediately took the few thousand men and horses left by his unit and went straight to Moscow City, almost dozens of miles away from Andrei's men, the mighty army was rushing towards the capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow with the momentum of great victory.

With the help of Cheng Xiangwu's army of nearly 100,000 people, even with Shetel's stability, he was still caught off guard.

As Wadkin said, the artillery fire on the Ming side was so fierce that even Shetl was killed on the spot by artillery fire, and in one fell swoop laid the victory of a big battle.

Converged Cheng Xiangwu's 100,000 army, the Ming side was full of more than 100,000 people, although the second and sixth legions added up to tens of thousands, but the two legions were killed, plus the artillery fire was covered, and the two major legions that were in chaos were defeated.

This defeat is an eternal fall into the abyss, under the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops, except for a few men and horses escaped, almost ninety percent of the army was wiped out in a battle, and the second and sixth armies were wiped out alive.

The second, third, and sixth armies accounted for about half of all the soldiers and horses of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but after a few major battles, most of the soldiers and horses of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, which interrupted the momentum of the Grand Duchy of Moscow's external expansion, and even cut off its future terrifying national fortune of spanning the two major states and establishing a huge empire.

Three months later, the Ming Expeditionary Force, which had once again defeated the Fourth and Fifth Legions of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which had come to block them in a hurry, appeared under the city of Moscow.

This city made of huge boulders is a magnificent city in the heart of Europe.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow expanded outward step by step with this as the center, and even became a huge empire with a vast territory in the future.

However, all this became illusory with the arrival of the Ming soldiers and horses in the city.

In just half a year, Vasily III felt as if he had been hit hard.

Vasily never dreamed that he was expanding wildly, and he was about to build a powerful state, but the sudden blow almost drove Vasily crazy.

He thought that the Grand Duchy of Moscow would be defeated by the Crimean Khanate, and he would be defeated by the Ottoman Empire, but he never thought that one day the Ming Empire soldiers who were thousands of miles away would come to the city.

Standing on top of the city, Vasily felt infinite unwillingness when he looked at the black pressure under the city and the endless Ming army formation.

But no matter how unwilling he was, all the legions that the Grand Duchy of Moscow could fight were sent out by him, and the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth legions were almost all wiped out, and now only the first corps remained in Moscow.

Although there is still the first legion, but Vasily does not have much hope in his heart, although the first legion is strong, but it is limited compared to the second and third legions, and several major armies of the Grand Duchy have been wiped out together, which can only show one point, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is too strong.

When a cannon was pushed out and aimed at the city gate and the city wall, Vasily's last bit of hope was shattered.

Although he had known for a long time that the Ming army carried many powerful and terrifying cannons, when he saw it, Vasily III finally understood why several of his major armies were defeated.

As a monarch, Vasily III still knows very well what the power of the cannon is, but in order for Vasily to spend a lot of money to equip the army with heavy and troublesome artillery, Vasily would rather spend money to recruit another group of soldiers.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow was so invincible that there was no need to equip it with artillery, a weapon that seemed to be incredibly powerful, but it was difficult to move, and now Vasily III had to pay the price for his short-sightedness.

Thundered

With Cheng Xiangwu's order, he immediately saw hundreds of artillery pieces firing in unison.

Shells blasted towards the city gates, and in the blink of an eye, the city gates were filled with smoke.

In the midst of that smoke, the originally thick city gate gradually shattered under the bombardment of cannonballs.

Even a gate made of pure iron could be shattered sooner or later if bombarded by artillery, let alone a gate made of thick wood.

When the screams came, I saw that the thick gate collapsed, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow who were hiding at the gate of the city did not have time to escape, and were crushed under the gate.

"Kill"

Seeing the gate collapse suddenly, he heard Lu Dazhu roar, and he took the lead and led the army straight to the open city gate.

Riding on the war horse, Cheng Xiangwu, who saw this scene from a distance, stroked his beard and said with a little smile on his face: "It's just the Grand Duchy of Moscow, it's just that." ”

I'm afraid that Cheng Xiangwu and Lu Dazhu would never have dreamed that a country that would span continents in the future and be called a world power would be nipped in the bud by them.
