Wang Baobao drew a big pie for Louis, and at the same time promised that the artillery they wanted would be delivered soon, and the kind of artillery with a longer range than the Daming artillery might arrive later because of its heavier range.

Louis didn't care whether the artillery came early or late, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard that he had a cannon with a longer range than Daming's artillery.

Do we have more advanced artillery than the Ming Dynasty?

That's great!

Louis was so excited that he patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, Taishi, we will definitely be able to block the attack of Da Ming and protect my divine ...... The West Dollar is not violated! ”

I just wanted to talk about Holy Rome, but I thought about it...... The person in front of him is the Taishi of Xiyuan, and he is the existence of ten thousand people under Xiyuan alone, so don't look for excitement.

A little earl, not at all looked at by the other party, he wants to take his own life, that is too simple.

Wang Baobao said with great appreciation, as if he had not noticed that Louis had said the wrong thing: "Count Louis is loyal, and after the second battle, he will definitely ask for credit for you." ”

"Master Xie!"

As soon as Louis thought of Wang Baobao asking for credit for himself, his title could be raised to the next level...... Such a good thing made Louis hate to go into battle in person and drive away the Ming army for Wang Baobao.

"Taishi, I'm going to prepare the troops and horses."

"Go, Count Louis!"

Looking at Louis who was leaving, Wang Baobao couldn't help but sigh.

Louis doesn't look stupid, why does he believe everything he says? Such a person, Wang Baobao is really not at ease to use.

Seeing off Louis, Wang Baobao began to look at the map again.

Now, he already knows that the generals of the Ming army who occupied Provence are named Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin.

The name Zhang Dingbian has been slightly heard of by Wang Baobao.

Zhou Buxin?

Haven't heard of it.

It can be seen that Zhou Buxin's military operations, every step is very stable, coupled with the Meng general Zhang Dingbian, siege weapons and artillery, and the brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty...... Zhou Buxin was able to do it step by step at the same time, and at the same time, he could quickly intersperse and divide the battlefield and eliminate the Mengyuan army.

Wang Baobao sighed again, the Ming talent blowout, and then look at his own Western Yuan...... The feeling of sunset in Wang Baobao's heart is clearer.

Shaking his head, Wang Baobao tried to calm his emotions down, and then began to think about how to deal with the Ming army's attack.

In Wang Baobao's view, the Ming army wanted to attack, not only in Dofine, but also to continue to attack Genoa in the east, and the Ming army could also bypass Dofine and attack the Geneva area.

The Ming army was too strong, and their offensive routes could also be varied.

I thought about it...... It's hard.

It was necessary to think of a way to limit the Ming army's offensive to Doffine, and then transfer troops from Geneva and Genoa to besiege the Ming Dynasty on three sides.

In addition, you can also join forces with the Kingdom of Aragon and the Valois Dynasty to jointly cut off the logistics supply lines of the Ming Dynasty.

Without logistical supplies, once the Ming artillery lacked the necessary gunpowder and shells, it would be a pile of scrap metal......

At present, this is the best way, and it is also a very difficult way for Wang Baobao.

However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to keep doing it!

After Wang Baobao made a plan, he immediately sent someone to contact the Kingdom of Aragon and the Valois Dynasty, and he wanted to go to the front line to take a look, he knew that Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin appeared from behind, for himself, and the only way to tie Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin was to show up and make them think that they were in Dofin.

……

Just as Wang Baobao thought, Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin were staring at him.

If they find Wang Baobao, they will stare at Wang Baobao and fight, if they don't find Wang Baobao, they will fight everywhere, as long as they can beat Wang Baobao out, their purpose will be completed.

Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin, the two of them are one martial and one literate, and they cooperate quite tacitly, Zhang Dingbian is responsible for fighting, Zhou Buxin is responsible for stabilizing the people's hearts, and by the way, the materials in Provence are distributed to the people, so that the slaves in the noble family can get rid of slavery, and the gold and silver treasures are also divided, and the fields and horse farms are also divided, all of which are handed over to the local people.

With those nobles, even their lives are not their own.

With the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, the land, gold and silver are all their own, and even their lives are their own decisions...... The people are not stupid, they know what to choose.

Who is still following those nobles!

Rebel!

Rebel!

The people of Provence began to support the Ming and spontaneously formed an army to assist the Ming in attacking other regions.

What Zhou Buxin is doing now, Wang Baobao has also done, but he can't do it carefully, just to gather the hearts of the people, in fact, the key is to cooperate with the nobles and absorb the nobles for his own use.

Right now...... Zhou Buxin completed the steps he did not complete, and directly asked the people of Provence to serve the Ming Dynasty.

Dauphine, too, is in jeopardy.

Wang Baobao climbed to the top of the city, looked at the attacking Ming army and the servant army in Provence, and lamented in his heart, but at this time he had to cheer up, standing on the head of the city and shouting loudly: "I, Wang Baobao, please tell General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Dingbian, who was commanding the battle in the back, immediately smiled when he heard the news that Wang Baobao was in the city.

Wang Baobao, Wang Baobao, you are finally willing to appear!

Sappy, you can't beat me this time!

"Narrative? Tell a fart! ”

Zhang Dingbian pulled out his war knife and shouted loudly: "Give it to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will capture Wang Baobao alive today." ”

I don't know Wang Baobao well, so I don't have anything to talk about.

……

Lan Yu's attack is also going on at the same time.

And Lan Yu came up and did a big job, and together with Hungary and Ottoman, the three arrows were fired together into the territory of the Western Yuan.

The two kingdoms of Ottoman and Hungary, for the first time, fought in concert with the Ming Dynasty, in order to show themselves and let Lan Yu see his own value, so he worked very hard, almost devoting the whole country to fighting the Western Yuan.

Timur then organized troops and horses to block it.

Timur, the Roman nobility were resisting with all their might.

In the first battle, Lan Yu wanted to fight beautifully, so when attacking, he placed seventy cannons in front of the formation, and aimed at the city wall was a fierce bombardment of three rounds of artillery fire.

Then, the walls collapsed, and Sapphire led a large army directly into the city.

Like the method taken by Zhou Buxin, after attacking the city, Lan Yu did not rush to kill, but scattered wealth to reassure the people, and distributed the seized grain, wine, real estate, gold and silver to the people, so as to win the hearts of the people, so that the people chose to follow the Ming Dynasty, and then the propaganda machine in the Ming army was activated, telling the local people that you follow the Ming Dynasty, overthrow the tyranny of Mengyuan, and overthrow the nobles here, you can turn over and be the master, and the Ming Dynasty will protect the people's property from being violated.

In order to avoid being deprived of your possessions, you should learn to protect yourselves...... Under the propaganda of the powerful propaganda machine, more and more people and slaves joined the army of the Ming Dynasty and became supernumerary servant troops, so that the captured weapons could also be used...... Kill more than one stone.

In fact, Lan Yu didn't want to use these natives to form soldiers and horses, but not now, now Wang Baobao's territory is too big, and his soldiers and horses are close to 400,000 people, and Lan Yu's soldiers and horses have fallen into a disadvantage from the beginning.

It's not that the numerical disadvantage can't win, but the price paid by Daming is too great.

Zhu Han sent the Ming soldiers overseas, the first thing mentioned was to ensure the lives of the expeditionary soldiers as much as possible, Lan Yu naturally had to obey Zhu Han's orders, so from the beginning of the war, when the indigenous army could be used, Lan Yu was never soft, and the hard bones sent the veteran oil, the veteran oiler fought more and more slippery than the other, rushed to the safest place when charging, and when the two armies were fighting, the veteran oiler disappeared again, and finally the battlefield was about to be harvested, and the veteran oilers immediately appeared and rushed to the battlefield of the warring sides as reapers.

As a result, whether it was the natives of the Delhi Sultan, or the nobles of India, or the Hungarian and Ottoman armies, they all became cannon fodder in the charge.

This is the army of the Ming Dynasty, a slippery horse.

Lan Yu also likes the captured booty, if these booty are owned by himself, he can make every soldier earn a lot of money, but if he has the life to take the money and not to spend the money, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can still distinguish it at this point.

When Timur came to the Eastern Front, he found that the battlefield on the Eastern Front at this time had been eroded, and the Ming army's three-line army had smashed the Eastern Front and was advancing rapidly.

"Special mother, how to fight this battle?"

The agonized Timur felt that his broken leg was starting to hurt again......

……

Overseas fighting is in full swing, but in Daming itself, it is a different scene.

Development and construction ...... It's in full swing.

A team of craftsmen set out from Jishou, and after they arrived at Yingtianfu, the people from the Ministry of Industry cooperated and recruited a large number of people to work.

After Zhu Han's unremitting efforts, the steam engine was officially used in the train, although it can only pull thirteen train wagons, but this is already a milestone progress.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Han immediately informed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also overjoyed, and immediately made a decision to officially promote the laying of the Daming train line.

Moreover, the number of people recruited this time is as high as 200,000.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to get the train up.

In addition to being busy with farming, the people can also earn wages to subsidize their families through the recruitment of workers in the court, who among the people is not willing to do it?

Of course, the first step to lay the railway line is the 60-mile railway line from Jishou to Yingtianfu, and the craftsmen have to open roads and build bridges when encountering water, and all the work must be done with the highest standards.

However, on the second day of recruiting 200,000 people to work, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Han back from Jishou.

Seeing the backlog of twists and turns in the Wuying Palace, Zhu Han immediately understood...... Zhu Yuanzhang: This is in trouble.

"Seventy-five, you can help us figure out a way."

When encountering a problem, Zhu Yuanzhang's first thought was Zhu Han, and he quickly told him the reason for the incident: "Didn't you tell us that if you want the train to run, you have to recruit at least 200,000 people, and you have to work for a long time?" When we recruited the people, we didn't tell the courtiers how long the people would have to work, and when they heard that they would have to work for a long time, they immediately objected. ”

At first, they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to recruit 200,000 people to work, and they also thought it was very reasonable, after all, the Ming Dynasty had to build everywhere, such as steel smelting mills, spinning mills, etc., if 200,000 people were recruited to build factories, how much wealth would have to be created? How much will the treasury be full?

However, when the hundred officials heard that they were going to recruit people to build bridges and pave roads, the hundred officials disagreed, and heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that they would work for a long time, and the hundred officials immediately collectively objected.

Zhu Yuanzhang: What is this going to do? Do you want to learn from Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty?

There are even officials who directly used the phrase 'the end of the Sui Dynasty for this river, and it has been thousands of miles to this day. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have more merits' poem to advise.

Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang recruit so many people just to show his merits?

No, resolutely not.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to explain that after the construction of the Baiguan railway, Daming could control the world more steadily, and the people could also break the geographical restrictions to travel all over the country, and they could also let Daming's goods go all over the world, and they could also break the geographical restrictions.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know much about trains, he just heard Zhu Han say it, and then saw it with his own eyes, and his understanding is not very detailed, so when he explained to the hundred officials, he couldn't say anything, so he could only call Zhu Han over and let Zhu Han go to fight with the hundred officials.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han: "Seventh Five-Year Plan, in the future, there will be more and more demand for craftsmen in my Ming Dynasty, we have to think of a way to let a group of people become craftsmen, so that they don't need to think about farming all year round, and only do one thing: work!" ”

"Yes."

Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal just the worker?

Zhu Han naturally raised his hands in agreement: "Brother, your proposal is very good, I think we can do this, but before we do this, we have to let the hundred officials understand that industry is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and with industry, we can stand up and straighten our backs." ”

Zhu Han stretched out three fingers: "Nowadays, coal and steel are the most important things to do, and the other is the craftsman camp, which is the most important R&D department, and we must ensure the integrity of these three departments and expand the scale." ”

Small workshops can't meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty, and heavy industry clusters must be used.

Then Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, we can also set up corresponding factories overseas, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen wrote to me, saying that a large number of coal and iron ore have been found in Australia, and the mineral reserves in this place are very rich, and we want to make Australia our supply point and develop its trade rapidly." ”

"Let's do it, you do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said to Zhu Han: "How are you going to convince those officials?" Or...... Let them go around the heads? When they see it, no one will object to it, right? ”

Zhu Han said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, maybe there are more people who oppose it." ”

"Those who oppose it are all people who are hungry for profit, and we still wish those people were against it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes: "I want to use our momentum to satisfy our selfish desires, let's pick their skin!" ”
