After Zhu Han left, Zhu Yuanzhang devoted himself to work again.

As for the matter of adding craftsmen to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer paid attention to it, but handed over everything to Zhu Han, he believed that Zhu Han could handle it well and allow the Ming Dynasty to gain more benefits.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, rectifying the rule of officials and allowing hundreds of officials to follow his orders is the most important thing at this stage.

……

At the same time, the Western Dollar.

Dofine had already been captured by the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Baobao was fully prepared, but he could not resist the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty, and finally had to flee in a hurry.

As for the news that Wang Baobao planned to unite the Valois Dynasty and the Kingdom of Aragon to jointly resist the Ming Dynasty, it was also ...... It turned out to be no news.

Timur on the battlefield on the Eastern Front had also fled to the royal capital of Byzantium at this time, not because he didn't want to resist, but because he really couldn't fight.

The blue jade is in three lines, Timur is lacking in skills, and the Ottoman and Hungarian soldiers are desperate to charge forward, who can withstand this?

Timur was defeated again and again, and finally retreated to Byzantium and joined forces with Wang Baobao, relying on the high and deep pools of the Byzantine city, coupled with artillery specially used for city defense, to try to block the Ming army.

If it is said that in addition to the Byzantine capital, it is still desperately resisting with the efforts of Wang Baobao, Timur and other ministers, then the people who are still trying their best to make the Western Yuan 'continue their lives' are the Western Yuan envoys who went to the Valois Dynasty and the Aragon Dynasty.

The courtiers of the Western Yuan, after receiving Wang Baobao's order, rushed to the two countries as soon as possible, trying to make the two countries send troops to jointly resist the Ming Dynasty through diplomatic relations.

The two groups of envoys from the Valois and the Kingdom of Aragon, who carried very heavy gifts, such as gold, silver and jade, were sent to persuade them to send troops.

Charles V of the Kingdom of Valois was busy fighting with England, and had no time to take care of the war on the Eastern Front, and after being reminded by the minister, Charles V knew that the current Ming Dynasty was a powerful empire that had defeated Meng Yuan, so Charles V would not take the initiative to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

After accepting the gifts sent by the envoys of the Mengyuan Dynasty, he directly sent this team of envoys out of the Valois Dynasty, and the envoys who led the team wanted to say a few more words, but they were directly scolded by the border army of Valois: "Hurry up and get out of our country, dare to take another step, and let your head be different." ”

“……”

This is a typical turn of face and not recognizing people!

Meng Yuan's envoys were full of grief and indignation when they saw that the Valois border army was so unreasonable, but now that he had a request for help, no matter how sad and indignant he was, he could only reluctantly return to Xiyuan.

However, when he returned to the Western Yuan, he found that his home was gone, and the envoys of the Valois Kingdom became prisoners of the Ming Dynasty before they returned to the capital to report to Wang Baobao.

After capturing this team of envoys, Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian also knew that Wang Baobao sent envoys to contact the surrounding kingdoms to jointly resist the Ming Dynasty, and now the envoys to the Valois Dynasty failed to return, but it was the envoy team who went to the Kingdom of Aragon, and there is no news yet, so doesn't it explain...... The Kingdom of Aragon is ready to give the Ming army a backstab in the back?

Zhou Buxin smiled: "Aragonese Kingdom...... I really don't know how dead words are written. ”

"He hasn't taken action yet, and we can't judge it, and our main goal now is to put it on Wang Baobao, and everything else has to be put on the back burner."

Zhang Dingbian was not inclined to do it now, and said to Zhou Buxin: "I think Pedro IV's soldiers and horses are a group of robbers who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, similar to the little devils on Wajima, our Ming army, whether it is the main force or the logistics soldiers, is much stronger than the soldiers and horses of his Aragorn Kingdom, even if there is trouble, it will be fine, besides, if we break up Wang Baobao's navy, it is a big deal that we will go by sea." ”

During the siege of Byzantium, Lan Yu had successfully joined forces with Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin, and they were now working together to besiege the royal capital...... The roar of the artillery fire could literally shake three miles away.

Wang Baobao, there has been a lot of progress.

Lan Yu can also guess that when he was attacking before, the artillery did not appear, and now the artillery only appears in the royal capital, which is already very revealing: first, the number of artillery prepared by Wang Baobao is far from enough; The second is that the artillery owned by Wang Baobao today has a long range, but it is too cumbersome and inconvenient to operate.

Such artillery can only play a modest role in the defense of the city.

However, Lan Yu has a way to deal with it, but it will take a little time, Lan Yu doesn't want to have any twists and turns in attacking Wang Baobao, just like Zhang Dingbian said, the Kingdom of Aragon is indeed not worth mentioning in terms of strength, but it is like a fly...... Although it is not a threat, it can disgust people.

"It's okay for him to stay honest, if he wants to cut meat from Da Ming, then let Aragon change the king."

Lan Yu didn't think about occupying Aragorn, at least not now, it was too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and he could use commerce to tie up the Aragonese Kingdom, and then wait for the Ming population to expand outward, and then talk about the occupation.

In this case, there are many ways to do it.

If they are disobedient, then change the king, and it is not impossible to let this land change countries.

Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian unanimously agreed to fight Wang Baobao first, so that the troops behind them would be more vigilant, and if Pedro IV dared to make trouble, they would let Pedro IV disappear.

……

Pedro IV was a great conspirator, but this was only compared to Europe and Africa, but for the Ming Dynasty, he was a bit of a novice.

When the envoys sent by Wang Baobao appeared on the land of the Kingdom of Aragon, they received great attention from Pedro IV.

Pedro IV thought that the Ming were very wealthy, and if a piece of meat was cut from them at will, Aragorn would benefit a lot, but in the same way, Pedro IV also thought that the Ming were very powerful, and if they caught the handle of the sneak attack on the Ming, it would be easy to get burned.

The Byzantine kingdom that defeated Holy Rome was no opponent, and Pedro IV did not consider him to be an opponent of the Ming as well.

However, the fat hung in front of him, and Pedro IV felt sorry for himself without taking a bite.

What to do?

The envoy who came to persuade Pedro IV, seeing Pedro IV's hesitation, said to him very seriously: "Great Pedro IV King, you don't have to worry about being retaliated against by the Ming Dynasty, you can put all the blame on us, you and your subordinates can also change into our clothes to sneak attack the Ming army, and all the benefits belong to you." ”

Hearing that someone is willing to take the initiative to stand up and be blackened, Pedro IV's intention is even more obvious.

Opportunity, good opportunity.

Pedro IV had already agreed with the other party's proposal in his heart, but he didn't agree immediately, just told the other party: "Okay, I have my own measure in this matter, you can stay first, and then you will leave after I think about it." ”

The envoys who left Meng Yuan, if they failed to rob, if Da Ming was held responsible, he would cut off the heads of this team of envoys and make amends to Da Ming, anyway, they would carry the black cauldron, and Pedro IV didn't think he would have any problems.

The plan is good, but whether it can be completed or not, it is not necessarily.

When Pedro IV decided to do something, he thought too simply, he did not have a clear judgment of the situation around him, but only subconsciously evaluated himself and Daming...... If it was as simple as the envoy said, how could the Valois dynasty not move at all?

The mouth of the messenger is purely deceiving people.

It's a pity that Pedro IV, who was already hungry for profit, couldn't think of these problems at all, and after sending off the envoys, he had already begun to make plans for a sneak attack on the logistics of the Ming army.

Pedro IV selected three thousand elites, then changed into Meng Yuan's clothes, picked a good location for the sneak attack, and then began to wait for the Ming army's convoy to appear.

Unlike Pedro IV's waiting, when the Ming Dynasty acted, it was basically a state of linkage, the front army got the news, the Chinese army and the rear army would make corresponding adjustments, the front Lan Yu, Zhang Dingbian they got the news that Wang Baobao sent envoys out, and learned that he was going to unite Valois and Aragon to deal with the Ming Dynasty, this news was quickly transmitted by him to the rear army and logistics troops, they quickly made adjustments, and when transporting supplies, there were one-third more soldiers and horses than usual.

The pressure on the logistics of the Ming army is very large, in order to make the soldiers on the front line in terms of food and military funds not affected, they are all three shifts to transport materials, so that they can continue to transport materials, there is another reason: even if one of the teams transporting materials is attacked by the enemy, the other two transport teams can quickly make up, so as not to cause the front army to lack supplies.

Of course, if they are divided into three teams, they can also guard against the enemy's sneak attack, if they know in advance that the enemy will attack the material transport troops, they will quickly reintegrate the soldiers of the baggage battalion, from three transport teams to two, to better ensure the safety of the transport materials.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the sergeants of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to ordinary people, even if it is just a baggage corps, they can also disintegrate the enemy in an instant.

This is where the confidence of the Ming army to go to sea to fight!

Excellent weapons and equipment, amazing will to fight, and the courage to die in the face of the enemy, there is such an army in the world, who can be the enemy of it?

Pedro IV?

It's just a clown.

Zhang Songnian, a native of Huguang, at the end of the Mengyuan Dynasty, Huguang suffered a heavy blow, Mengyuan in order to consolidate the rule in Huguang, the world's righteous army in order to get the fertile land and people of Huguang, fought here again and again, the whole Huguang was broken, and later the army of the Ming Dynasty occupied Huguang, and the people lived, quickly gained a firm foothold in Huguang, Zhang Songnian's family suffered in the war, he was protected by his brother Zhang Songshan to escape a catastrophe, and now the two brothers have joined the Ming army, brother Zhang Songshan is now in Yinzhou, Zhang Songnian was stationed in India with Zhang Dingbian, and now he is a lieutenant in the army, coordinating the transportation of grain.

When Zhang Songnian learned from Shangguan that the king of Aragon might rebel, he immediately became happy, Zhang Songnian could not go to the front-line battlefield, which made him feel very regretful, and he wanted to enter the front-line several times but was not approved, Zhang Songnian was very depressed, he felt that he had been escorting grain and grass in the back, and he had no chance to make military achievements.

But the hard work paid off, and the opportunity for meritorious service finally appeared, and he met Pedro IV, who had a bad head, didn't he hit himself with a gun?

Pedro IV?

I, Zhang Songnian, thank you, and I will definitely send you to meet your eight-generation ancestors!

Zhang Songnian couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was very vigilant when escorting grain and grass, and he also sent scouts to inspect the territory within a radius of twenty miles, and reported it immediately once he found the enemy.

finally ran into a bad head to hit the south wall, Zhang Songnian would not take this opportunity to make meritorious service out of his hands no matter what.

Opportunities are reserved for those who wait and endure, isn't Zhang Songnian waiting for so long just for this opportunity?

Then, Pedro IV appeared very cooperatively.

He took his carefully selected elite soldiers, disguised himself as Mengyuan, and quietly lurked on the route of the Ming Dynasty's transportation baggage, and immediately started as soon as the transport team entered their ambush circle.

Zhang Songnian arrived quickly, and Pedro IV was still a little worried at first, but seeing that the Ming convoy only had 800 soldiers, Pedro IV immediately came to his senses.

Three thousand against eight hundred.

I am waiting for work again, and the other party is running for a long time.

And so on...... The advantage is mine!

After thinking about it simply, Pedro IV thought that he would win, but what he didn't know was that his every move was under the surveillance of the Ming scouts, and he also wanted to ambush others, but he didn't know that he had become a fish on the chopping block.

When the Ming army entered the encirclement set by Pedro IV without any defense, Pedro IV gave an order, and three thousand elites raised their strong bows together and shot towards the Ming transport convoy.

As if they had expected it, the Eight Hundred Ming Army hid around the baggage carts, relying on the carriages to raise their shields to guard against the attack of missing arrows.

Where the shield meets the shield, there is a gap, but it has little effect, and the sword and shield soldier uses a hand shield hanging on his arm to block the gap.

Zhang Songnian also hid behind the shield, looking at the clanging arrows on the shield, he couldn't help but shake his head: Pedro IV doesn't know how to fight, attacking the transport team transporting grain and grass materials, it is best to attack with fire, but Pedro IV didn't do it at all, this has already fallen behind.

A rain of arrows drifted by, and all the arrows were blocked, but Pedro IV did not notice this, and after five rounds of arrows were missed, Pedro IV immediately led the elite to kill and rushed towards the Ming army with a roar.

"It's coming!"

Zhang Songnian was waiting for the other party to appear, he immediately took out the mountain opening knife, and patted the hand shield on his forearm with the back of the knife: "Brothers, it is not easy for our transport team to make contributions, and it is not easy to encounter a battle, we have to fight this battle beautifully, don't let go of an enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

"Brothers, kill the enemy!"

Zhang Songnian gave an order, and the shield soldiers around him also threw their shields on the ground, picked up their spears, and looked at the enemies who rushed up with a roar, with very excited killing intent in their eyes.

After being a soldier for so many years, I finally have the opportunity to fight.

As Zhang Songnian said, they finally encountered the opportunity to fight, so none of the enemies in front of them were willing to let go!
