Wang Baobao led the Mengyuan army, and this time he did not burn and loot on a large scale.

He originally wanted to manage the Hanaka area well and turn it into a reserve base for his future retreat.

If all the people in the river area are killed, then there will be no one to grow food for grazing, and there will be no way to collect taxes, and there will be no way to feed their court and army.

Wang Baobao's consideration of the future led him to adopt a policy of as benevolent as possible in this military conquest.

But.

With the news of the approaching army of the Golden Horde, the consequences of Wang Baobao's mercy this time made him taste the bitterness.

The Celestial Cultists in the River region, one after another, rebelled one after another, spreading to all regions with the momentum of wildfire.

These Heavenly Sect members all felt that they would soon receive the support of the Golden Horde, and refused to carry out all of Wang Baobao's orders to collect grain, grass, money, and horses.

The Wara tribe army led by Haohai naturally would not be polite, and the Mengyuan army gradually lost control of military discipline and began to burn and loot unscrupulously.

Wang Baobao had also already understood that these Heavenly Sect disciples in the Hezhong region were simply wild wolves that they couldn't raise, and their benevolent policies would only make them feel weak and bullied.

Even though many Tianfang Sectarians were from the same Mongolian background as Meng Yuan, after being brainwashed by the Heavenly Sect, they all became educated idiots.

Wang Baobao knew that if he wanted to hold his ground in the Transoxiana region, it was completely impossible to resist the Golden Horde.

Therefore, he also began to order that his army would no longer be restrained, and all towns that refused to pay taxes, grain and grass would be burned and killed.

All of a sudden, the entire area in the middle of the river was in the middle of the river, and the whole place was full of war.

Many of the once prosperous cities were completely destroyed.

A large number of local people, after seeing the ferocity of the Mongols, fled in all directions.

After almost looting and destroying the Hedong region, Wang Baobao led the army back to the east with a solemn face.

Although he did not achieve his goal of conquering the river region this time, he finally grabbed a lot of grain, horses and livestock, so that his subordinates could live a rich winter.

Moreover, because the Transoxiana region was badly damaged by itself, the arrival of the Golden Horde's army was bound to be unable to obtain sufficient food and grass supplies from the local area.

Wang Baobao expected that the enemy would definitely not be able to stay in the middle of the river, and would not be able to threaten his own borders at all.

Yunnan.

In a dense bush, countless mosquitoes were disturbed and scattered in all directions with a bang.

From the nearby woods, a long procession came out one after another.

Among these people, whether they were generals or soldiers, their faces were all tired, and their clothes were torn all over their bodies.

They were none other than the Han army under Chen Youliang.

As the news of the Ming occupation of Sichuan was confirmed, soldiers in Chen's army began to flee in large numbers.

To avoid this.

Chen Youliang decisively followed Zou Pusheng's advice and led the army to the southwest.

That place in Yunnan is not developed enough, and there are heavy troops stationed in the Ming army around it, so it is impossible to hold on to Yunnan at all.

Chen Youliang didn't want to be Zhu Yuanzhang's prisoner, so he could only embark on this vast and unknown escape road.

It's just that Chen Youliang and the others want to escape, and many ordinary soldiers are not willing to run away with them at all.

After years of fighting, these soldiers have long been exhausted, not to mention that most of them have already started a family and have their own wives and children, all of whom have been thrown in Sichuan.

The vast majority of people simply don't want to run away at all.

Therefore, in the process of leading the army forward, Chen Youliang did not tell the soldiers his true destination.

But.

There were also some clever men among the soldiers, who, after marching for a while, found that the direction they were walking was becoming more and more wild, and immediately realized that the situation was not right, and began to try to flee by all means.

Many people left the camp at night and fled behind them, and the pursuers sent by Chen Youliang would also flee together.

In this case, Chen Youliang could only march for half a day and camp for half a day, and sent his own personal guards to strictly defend it.

But even so.

When Chen Youliang set out from Kunming, the 100,000-strong army was now less than 50,000.

Fortunately, after a long march, they had come to a completely unfamiliar rainforest.

In this wild land, it is difficult for anyone to survive without the group.

Desertions in the army gradually began to decrease.

"Your Majesty, I have killed all the wild tribes in front!"

Zou Pusheng, who was wearing a suit of armor, ran to Chen Youliang and said.

"The prime minister has worked hard!" Chen Youliang also said with a tired face.

Along the way, they not only have to deal with harsh environments that are difficult to adapt to, but there are also many savage tribes in these jungles, often robbing and killing their lone soldiers.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Youliang sent his subordinates to retaliate against these tribes.

At the same time, you can also get some captives in these tribes to act as your guides.

After more than half a month of travel.

The army led by Chen Youliang finally reached the side of a wide river.

Look at this boundless river.

After some inquiry, Chen Youliang already knew that once he stepped on this big river, he would say goodbye to the Yunnan border completely.

"Zhu Chongba, Zhu Qiwu, you two dog thieves, even if I, Chen Youliang, escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely seek revenge on you in the future!"

After Chen Youliang led his army to cross this big river, he actually entered the Bengal region.

It's just that the river floods all year round, and most of the surrounding residents have already moved away.

After Chen Youliang crossed the river, after some counting, he found that there were only more than 30,000 people left around him.

There was no way, there were no suitable ships around, so they could only cut fresh wood to make them, and the ships would inevitably have sails capsizing and leaking.

"30,000 people, when I Chen Youliang started back then, there were only 300 people!"

Although Chen Youliang was extremely sad and angry in his heart, he was not discouraged.

After excluding some cronies to investigate.

Chen Youliang also knew that his old enemy Duan Gong was ahead.

It's just that now Duan Gong's troops are strong and strong, subduing many local Tianzhu natives, and there are strong city fortresses to provide defense, Chen Youliang's current soldiers and horses are tired, and he doesn't dare to go to find trouble.

Even Chen Youliang felt that he had to hurry up and march to the north to avoid Duan Gong's possible interception.

Only when you find a suitable place to stay, you can first replenish the little food and grass left, repair the physical strength of the soldiers, and then make new plans.

I have to say that Chen Youliang still has a very strong strength for marching and fighting.

After his command and march, Duan Gong did not notice the arrival of Chen Youliang's army in the surrounding sentry forts.

In fact, the soldiers and horses stationed in these fortresses are basically indigenous Tianzhu people, and their combat effectiveness is low, even if they see some strange enemies, they easily dare not provoke them.

Chen Youliang set his army all the way north, and after passing through a muddy swamp, he finally saw a town of decent size.

There were not many soldiers and horses in this town, and Chen Youliang only sent 300 cavalry, and he completely controlled the entire town with a charge forward.

After some interrogation and inquiry, Chen Youliang knew that this was located in the northeasternmost corner of the Tianzhu Continent, and that the ruler here was a Tianzhu Tu King, called the Assam family.

"Where does this Assam Native King live, hurry up, lead the way!"

Under the vicious persecution of Chen Youliang and others, the local Tianzhu natives led the way in front and led Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses to the Assam Palace.

Assam is a very small state in Tianzhu, and there are only 5,000 soldiers when it is full.

And because of its remote location, Assam has not been at war for decades.

Assam nominally submitted to the Delhi Sultanate, but also sent tribute to Duan Gong, who was close to him.

So the Assam family has always felt that their safety is very secure.

But when Chen Youliang led the army to the city, the good days of the Assam family were over.

Six years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

August.

The hot summer of Yingtianfu is finally coming to an end, and you can enter the cool autumn after ten days and half a month.

Zhu Han sat in the hall of his palace, lazily looking at the mountains of official documents on the table, while eating the smoothie porridge fed by Zhou Zhiruo next to him.

"Okay, after eating, you don't have to work hard, hurry down and rest, after all, you are already pregnant."

Zhu Han stretched his waist, and then stroked Zhou Zhiruo's slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Since returning from the West, Zhu Han has been living in his palace almost all day long, living happily with his concubines and Slavic slave girls.

After working hard day and night, almost all of Zhu Han's women are again.

The ancients all felt that having more children was more blessed, and although Zhu Han also felt that it made sense, it really made him a lot less fun.

For the past few days, he has been waiting for news of the arrival of a new batch of Persian merchant ships.

Today's Persian merchants have taken over the entire Ming slave trade.

The princes, nobles and merchants of the Ming Dynasty made a generous move, as long as the goods of the female slaves were good enough, no matter how expensive the price was, someone would buy them.

Therefore, after several high-priced acquisitions by the Ming Dynasty, several Celestial Sect countries west of Persia all increased their efforts to trade female slaves.

In the teachings of the Heavenly Sect, it is not permissible to make one's followers slaves.

So the Celestial Sect states themselves do not produce slaves, they are only porters of slaves.

It was because of this that the Eastern Roman Empire in Europa, Greece, Venice and the Slavs suffered even greater looting, and tens of thousands of people were robbed by the Celestial Sect.

Among them, the young and beautiful white slave girls were all resold to the Persians, and then eventually transported to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Zhiruo was also a little bored when he was pregnant, and after getting Zhu Han's concern, he retired with a smile.

"Chen Baodao, is there any news from the port?"

Zhu Han asked towards the door.

Chen Baodao hurriedly strode in, "Tell the prince, I have been staring at the door, and no one has come to deliver the letter!" ”

Zhu Han nodded and did not speak.

It seems that there will be no news of the arrival of new merchant ships in the next few days.

Zhu Han has been a little bored in the palace in the past few days, the women in the palace are pregnant one by one, and they are all key protected animals, and they can't do anything that is not suitable for children, as for those maids, they are all dull and wooden, Zhu Han's taste has long been high, and he is used to eating big fish and meat, and he is not willing to eat these.

"Come out with me, take a spin!"

Zhu Han said as he walked towards the study next to him.

Chen Baodao understood what Zhu Han meant as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly followed.

Zhu Han said that he was going out for a spin, but in fact, he didn't put on a guard of honor, but went out on patrol in a micro-suit.

Now his status is too high, no matter where he goes, there will be a lot of chickens and dogs, and officials of all sizes are eager to stick to the back of their buttocks, and it has become a luxury to observe the people's feelings or see what is lively.

Zhu Han took Chen Baodao and two subordinate guards, all dressed in ordinary clothes, looking like a businessman, with a housekeeper and two family members.

It's just that this housekeeper and housekeeper look like they are tigers, and they are not very easy to mess with.

Zhu Han also put two patches of beard on himself in order to disguise himself more thoroughly.

The current Yingtian City has already become a unique city in the world.

The land inside the city could no longer accommodate so many people and shops, and many neighborhoods were built around the city.

The prices of the shops in Yingtian City are relatively high because of the ground rent.

Ordinary people who want to buy some cheap goods usually go out of the city to the outside neighborhood.

What Zhu Han wanted to see was the real market life, and after wandering around the city for a while, he went out of the city directly.

As soon as you enter the neighborhood outside the city, you will be filled with fireworks.

The aroma of all kinds of fried food filled the air, and all kinds of shouting and selling sounds also reached his ears, coupled with the endless stream of pedestrians, making Zhu Han feel that the bustling market in front of him was the basis for the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

"The people are all rosy-faced, and it seems that they are really well fed!" Zhu Han said in a low voice.

Remembering that when he first crossed over, he couldn't eat enough all day long, and Zhu Han felt that his stomach was rumbling with hunger again.

"All this is the credit of His Highness and His Majesty, who defeated the Mongols and fed the common people all over the world!" Chen Baodao said with a smile in a low voice beside him.

"You guy, you even learned to pat on the back." Zhu Han also said with a smile.

"Your Highness, what I said is all true!"

"Okay, what will I tell you when I come out?" Zhu Han reprimanded.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, the owner is a lesson!" Chen Baodao is still a hippie smile.

has been by Zhu Han's side for so long, and the original straightforward and rough man has become a little slippery.

However, Zhu Han felt that this was not his own reason, mainly because Hu Yiba's guy broke Chen Baodao.

Speaking of Hu Yiba, as Zhu Han's closest subordinate, although he did not make too much credit, but there was still some hard work, Zhu Han rewarded him with a lot of money, this kid also has some business acumen, and has placed a lot of family business in Yingtian Suzhou and other places, and has returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and repair his ancestors' graves in the past few days.

"Take a look, take a look, alas, the white slaves of the Western Regions are dancing, the teahouse is a seat, everyone is invited!"

Zhu Han took Chen Baodao, and a few people walked not far before they heard a shout.
