Chapter 242: I Want America

"Okay, then let's send someone to Wusizang to take a look, whether it's better to divide one or two, after all, that territory is also very big!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"There is no need to worry about the affairs of Wu Sizang, there must be an army that adapts to the local climate, and it is impossible to form without a year or two of selection and training!" Zhu Han said.

After arranging his little nephews, Zhu Han naturally wouldn't forget about himself.

After all, although Zhu Han's British king is very rich, he is also the most noble king.

But Zhu Han had not chosen a fief for himself before, and now that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is enough, Zhu Han can naturally choose a fief that belongs to him in the future.

"Brother, the little nephews have all been arranged, then I have to pick a good place for myself!" Zhu Han said with a grin.

"Pick! Just pick, if you like it, you can do it! Like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Beiping, too! Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with a wave of his hand.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's words are all sincere, without the slightest pretense.

Zhu Yuanzhang's affection for Zhu Han really made him give Ying Tianfu to Zhu Han, and he didn't say anything.

"Ying Tianfu? Suzhou Mansion? These places are so boring, I don't want them to give them to me! Zhu Han pouted and said.

These are all good places to be wealthy, but Zhu Han has already visited them all these years, and there is nothing new at all.

Since you want to pick a fief, it is natural to watch the process of the fief from scratch and from weak to strong with your own eyes.

"You don't want these places, then you can tell me, we will agree to any place!" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he didn't want the place where Zhu Han jumped to be too remote and remote.

For this younger brother, I always think about him by my side.

But.

I'm afraid of what's coming.

Zhu Han's pick made Zhu Yuanzhang almost jump in a hurry.

"I want this piece, half of Dongshengzhou!"

Zhu Han pointed to the map with his hand, which was the thirteen continents of North America where the 'ugly country' was born in later generations.

"What? You are crazy? It's a barren land! Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted with wide eyes.

According to the intelligence of the Hu family's father and son, the further east Shengzhou in the New World is, the more backward and barbaric it is.

Zhu Han just picked such a place for himself to collapse.

And it's so far away, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is simply 10,000 reluctant.

"This is actually a good place, the land is flat and fertile, there are rivers and lakes, plus the port by the sea, and live a small life behind closed doors, it will not be too beautiful in the future!" Zhu Han said with a grin.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened with a distressed expression.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he felt that Zhu Hanxuan chose such a shabby place, all because he was afraid that he would threaten his nephew's imperial status in the future.

Such a big sacrifice made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very guilty.

"I want this territory, but when to go, I haven't thought about it yet, after all, it's too far here, and it takes a strong fleet to ensure unimpeded navigation with the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Han said to himself.

To get to the east coast of the New World, apart from the sea route, it is from the west coast over the mountains, and the vast plains, and finally to the east coast.

Either way, it takes a long time to build up.

"Don't worry, we have promised you this territory, when you are ready to go when you want to go, we are reluctant to let you go so far!" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a little far away, but it's really a good place to go, and when I build it in the future, you can also go and have a look!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"We are the Son of Heaven, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, running so far away, we must not let the people below laugh at us." The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became reserved.

Zhu Han pursed his lips, but he didn't think so.

"When that time comes, the Ming Kingdom is rich and strong, and the power is all over the world, brother, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, don't you go around and show the prestige of the Ming Emperor, isn't it as the history books say?"

Zhu Han's words made the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, that's right, when that time comes, we'll travel the world with you, so that everyone can see the majesty of our old Zhu family's men!" Zhu Yuanzhang also said jokingly.

The two brothers often do this in private, which is a manifestation of the closeness of brotherhood.

The two then chatted a few more words, and Zhu Han mentioned that Yingtianfu had opened a few new restaurants, so he wanted to take his brother's micro-clothes out to taste it.

At this time, the eunuch outside the palace gate suddenly hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty, the urgent report from the northwest, there was a major earthquake in Lanzhou, thousands of residents were killed and injured, and countless fortress walls and houses collapsed, please take a look!"

When Lao Guo, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han heard the news, they were all taken aback.

The Lanzhou area in the northwest was the forefront of the war between the Ming and the Mongols.

If a major earthquake causes great damage, it will inevitably attract the Mongols to attack Lanzhou.

At first, Zhu Han felt that the loss might not be that big.

But.

When he received urgent reports from the Lanzhou Xingdu Division one after another, he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

The earthquake caused considerable damage to the Lanzhou area, and the fortresses and side walls built by the Ming army here were severely damaged, and even many of the fortresses built at the center of the earthquake were all in ruins.

A considerable number of Ming army warehouses were destroyed in the earthquake.

Lanzhou has hoarded millions of food, clothing and weapons, at least half of which were damaged in the earthquake.

In addition to material losses, many casualties have been reported on the population side.

There were nearly 10,000 casualties among the local soldiers and civilians alone, and many of the Ming army fortresses suffered a huge proportion of casualties.

The defense line set up by the Ming army in the northwest instantly appeared many loopholes.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to deliver the holy decree overnight, transporting supplies and soldiers from Shaanxi to Lanzhou.

However, even if the decree is issued at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

By the time the supplies and soldiers arrive in Lanzhou, it will be a long time coming.

And the Mengyuan army led by Wang Baobao was in the Tianshan Mountains not far from Lanzhou, and Yin Li Baali in the east.

The Ming army's defense line in Lanzhou was fragmented, and once Wang Baobao launched an attack on Lanzhou, it would inevitably cause great shock in the northwest region.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared for the worst, and issued thirteen holy decrees overnight, mobilizing Xu Da from Sichuan to lead the elite to quickly return to Lanzhou to preside over the overall situation.

……

When the Ming army was in chaos in the northwest, Wang Baobao did get the news earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.

However, it is different from the situation that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han feared.

Wang Baobao knew that after the Ming army in Lanzhou fell into chaos, he did not have any intention of attacking the Lanzhou area, on the one hand, because although the Ming army in Lanzhou suffered a lot of losses, the Ming army's previous fighting style made the Mengyuan army extremely afraid.

Even if the Ming army is now suffering casualties from the earthquake, Wang Baobao and the generals of Meng Yuan are not completely sure to defeat the Ming army.

And Wang Baobao now faces another formidable enemy, that is, the Golden Horde in the West.

Nawurus, the khan of the Golden Horde, led more than 100,000 troops to the river.

The Celestial Cultists in the Transocona region warmly welcomed this Golden Horde Khan, who had converted to the Celestial Sect.

Wang Baobao originally thought that the Golden Horde would not be able to get supplies, and would definitely withdraw his troops on his own.

However, now it seems that Wang Baobao's wishful thinking has miscalculated.

Now Wang Baobao must lead his army to expel the Golden Horde from the river.

Otherwise, the Golden Horde would inevitably continue to advance eastward after gaining the Hezhong region, threatening the Mongol Yuan's base in the Tianshan Mountains.

Yili put the li, Huozhou City.

Tens of thousands of troops waved their flags, stretching for more than ten miles outside Huozhou City.

The flag, which symbolizes the Great Mongolian Kingdom and the Great Yuan Dynasty, flutters in the wind among the army.

Wang Baobao, the imperial master of the Great Yuan Auxiliary State, personally led this large army and prepared to go to the Hanzhong region to defeat the Navulus Khan of the Golden Horde.

For the invasion of the Golden Horde in the Transoxiana region, Wang Baobao did not dare to lead his army to counterattack at first.

Because Wang Baobao was afraid that after the Ming army in Lanzhou got the information, they raided his rear.

Now, the Ming army in Lanzhou has suffered a lot of losses due to the earthquake, and a large number of supplies and grain and grass have also been lost in the earthquake, and they are simply unable to fight in the Yili area.

Wang Baobao took advantage of this gap and decided to meet with Naurus Khan of the Golden Horde for a while.

However, although the Ming army in Lanzhou suffered great losses, Wang Baobao still had a strong psychological shadow for the Ming army, so he personally led the army to conquer Hezhong, leaving his younger brother Timur in Huozhou, and assisting the Empress Dowager Zuoqi and the little emperor Bayan Timur to stabilize the rear.

"Don't let your guard down just because the Ming army is bad for the earthquake in Lanzhou, you must send enough scouts to investigate the news to prevent the Ming army from sneaking up on Yili!"

Before leaving, Wang Baobao still uneasily instructed his younger brother to get rid of Timur.

"An'a, you can rest assured, I will definitely disperse all the scouts, and I won't let a single soldier of the Ming army escape my sight! There will be absolutely no problems with Yili in my hands! Deqi Timur assured with his chest.

After telling his younger brother Taemur, Wang Baobao told his woman, the Empress Dowager Qi, before leaving.

"No matter how provocative the Ming army is, or the biggest loophole exposed in the Lanzhou area, don't believe it easily, and don't send troops to attack the Ming army under any circumstances!"

Timur's temper was a little impatient, and Wang Baobao was afraid that his rear base would be lost, so he let his women also keep an eye on it.

"Don't worry, I'm here! Definitely not let the decaffinated Timur come to the nonsense! Empress Dowager Qi put on a posture of her sister-in-law teaching her uncle a lesson.

The current Dayuan Dynasty is in the hands of Wang Baobao, except for the skin of the golden family, almost everything has completely changed.

The Great Yuan Emperor and the Great Khan of Mongolia was the illegitimate son of Wang Baobao, the Empress Regent was a Goryeo woman, the Timid Xue Janissaries were all Sinicized Mongols like Wang Baobao or Han people like Kong Kejian, and the steppe cavalry was composed of the Warat people, whose ancestors were fierce rivals in the rise of Genghis Khan.

Today's Great Yuan Dynasty can be said to be not Mongolian at all except for a name, and the orthodox golden family bloodline is even more minimal.

The descendants of the true Golden Family have all remained in the eastern part of the Mongolian steppe, and they are now subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

However, even if the gold family content is zero, the momentum of this Dayuan army led by Wang Baobao is very sufficient.

After all, the enemy they will face is the Golden Horde.

Jochi, the ancestor of the Golden Horde, has always been rumored to be Genghis Khan's cuckolded outsider baby.

It can be said that the gold family content of the Golden Horde was very doubtful from the very beginning.

The Great Yuan Dynasty fought against the Golden Horde, and it was naturally impossible to lose in terms of momentum.

The news that Wang Baobao had gathered tens of thousands of troops to point his sword in the river soon reached the ears of Naurus, the Khan of the Golden Horde.

After receiving this news, the Golden Horde Khan Naurus was overjoyed.

"Kublai Khan, a despicable usurper, his descendants are really stupid and despicable!" Naurus taunted his generals.

After entering the Transoxiana region, the troops of the Golden Horde were warmly welcomed by the local Celestial cultists.

These followers all saw Naurus as the savior of the Celestial Cult.

The current army of the Golden Horde wants people and food.

The time and place are favorable, all on the side of the Golden Horde.

Wang Baobao led an army of ten thousand to attack, and Naurus felt that he could easily defeat them in the river with all he had to do.

"Only by defeating Wang Baobao and these people, I will let the glory of Allah shine on the grassland!"

The Golden Horde Naurus made a grand wish to the Celestial Cultists in the Transoxians.

All the Heavenly Sect disciples were full of fighting spirit and were full of confidence in what was coming.

Naurus looked at his large army and the united Celestials, and felt that he had no reason to defeat at all.

"First eradicate the rebellious infidels, spread the glory of Allah to the steppe, and then wave the army south to occupy Baghdad and Persia, the great cause of Genghis Khan and the prophet, I will do it again!"

The Celestial Sect army, led by the Golden Horde, had a total strength of about 120,000 people.

Naulus claimed to be 500,000 to the outside world.

The Mengyuan army led by Wang Baobao was only about 60,000 people.

However, in terms of momentum, Wang Baobao will not be willing to fall behind, he claims to be 300,000 to the outside world.

The Golden Horde army led by Navulus held aloft both the Sulu ingot, which symbolized the Great Khan of Mongolia, and the crescent moon flag, which symbolized the Celestial Religion.

Now that the Yin Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate had completely collapsed, and the Great Yuan court was a heretic, Nawurus, the Khan of the Golden Horde, naturally claimed to be the successor of the Mongol Great Khan.

The Golden Horde's army consisted almost entirely of cavalry, with only a small number of Transoxians organizing a portion of infantry.

The cavalry that spread all over the mountains rolled forward like a tide on the land.

The Mongol Yuan army led by Wang Baobao had just entered the Hezhong region when it ran head-on into the army of the Golden Horde.

"So many cavalry?"

"The Golden Horde is really strong!"

"And there are a lot of armored cavalry!"

The generals of the Mongol Yuan army were immediately startled when they saw the size of the cavalry of the Golden Horde.
