Chapter 538: The True God Descends
God has come!
The structure of the fat man is different from the regular Kong Ming lantern, because it is too big to be hung up with a rope, and can only be supported by a bamboo frame.
The design of the lead device and other bombs was also different, not locked at the wick, but attached to the lampshade.
According to the set time, after reaching the target position, a special lead will be triggered, which will directly ignite the lampshade, and the bamboo basket at the bottom will fall off, and the lead of the giant bomb will be triggered at the same time.
Next, it's time to witness the miracle!
In the Ming position, everyone raised their heads and stared at the big fireball over Constantinople.
"It's coming!"
Someone shouted, with great excitement in his words.
Needless to say, this person must be from the Academy of Sciences, and he was involved in the research and development of the fat man.
Zhu Qizhen immediately became nervous, when he designed this thing, it was purely a whim, when will we enter the era of nuclear weapons?
Unexpectedly, the Academy of Sciences was really powerful, and it really made such a big guy.
What's even more unexpected is that just using the most primitive Kong Ming lantern can make this big guy fly.
The power of the bomb is not how much explosives it contains, but how it moves.
There are a lot of explosives in the ammunition depot, but only their own people can be blown up.
Therefore, when the Academy of Sciences made the super-large Kong Ming lantern designed, Zhu Qizhen was stunned.
He even had a hunch that maybe in the near future, these scholars would really be able to build a nuclear bomb......
In the night sky, the light of the fire suddenly became brighter, like a supernova explosion.
After a brief moment of flickering, the fire quickly extinguished, leaving only a black shadow that smashed into the ground like a meteorite.
The devout Ottomans were still praying, only to find that their surroundings had turned dark again.
What about God?
The people, not knowing why, looked up and looked for their miracles.
Boom –
At a height of ten feet above the ground, the fat man blew up.
This distance is calculated, the error control is very small, so to speak, very successful.
However, such success was a devastating blow to the Ottomans.
In the Ming army's position, Zhu Qizhen saw with his own eyes a huge fireball and a rising mushroom cloud.
The ground around them was shaking, and you can imagine what it was like for the Ottomans to be within blast range.
In that moment, Constantinople seemed like daylight.
Ancient granite buildings were destroyed by the blast waves, and no man-made structure could withstand such force.
Zhu Qiyu was already shocked, and after a long time, he said: "Brother Huang, the power of this fat man is really ......."
It was difficult for him to find the right adjective, because in his cognition, such a force did not exist.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "This war can be over." ”
"Are we attacking now?"
"Don't worry, let's go to sleep, and launch a general attack early tomorrow morning."
The Ming army's position was peaceful, it was time to sleep, to eat, and to prepare for the decisive battle.
The next day, the morning sun rose as usual.
The artillery of the Shenji battalion was pulled out again, lined up, and aimed at the battered city walls, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Chen Ying commanded in the center and said, "All the cannon ports are aimed at the city gate, and blast a way for me!" ”
Although the gates were filled with masonry and debris, they were still the weakest point compared to the granite walls.
"Ready!"
The herald standing in the front row raised the order flag in his hand, and when the order flag fell, ten thousand cannons fired in unison.
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Ying suddenly changed the order, and the herald's hand shook and almost fell.
I saw that at the city gate, the scattered stones that had been bombarded by the cannons collapsed, and a few people came out of it, holding a stick in their hands, and out of nowhere they pulled a piece of white cloth and stuck it at one end of the stick as a white flag.
"Go to a few people and see what's going on!"
"Yes!"
In the middle of the position, a small group rode out and came to the city gate.
When the Ottomans who left the city saw the Ming army, they hurriedly waved the white flag in their hands vigorously, and at the same time muttered loudly, sometimes mixed with a few jerky Chinese words.
"Surrender, don't fight, surrender ......"
……
An hour later, the gates were completely cleaned.
Li Zhen led 3,000 battalions into the city first to prevent an ambush and sneak attack.
However, when he first stepped into the city gate, he knew that he was worried.
As far as the eye can see, it is already in ruins.
The whole of Constantinople has been reduced to hell on earth, with charred corpses strewn in the streets, crumbling buildings everywhere, and the struggles and wails of the seriously wounded and dying.
The people here could never have imagined that it was not their true god who came last night, but the god of death.
After this battle, more than half of the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed and wounded, and countless buildings were destroyed, and it was a mess.
The 3,000 battalions quickly took over the city defense, but at this time, the city defense was no longer important, and only soldiers needed to be stationed in various streets and intersections to stabilize the situation.
Zhu Qizhen rode a tall horse and slowly walked into the city gate.
Behind him, Zhu Qiyu, the king of the servants, Chen Ying, the Duke of Yasukuni, Bei Lin of the Academy of Sciences and others followed.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw, and the Academy of Sciences ...... Terrifying!
After Belin entered the city, she immediately led people to the place where the fat man fell.
It's very easy to identify, and anyone who doesn't have to be blind can see a huge round pit in the ground.
"Record data!"
"Yes!"
The Academy of Sciences is neat, and they never care how many people died in this battle and how many buildings were destroyed.
Their focus is only on the success of their scientific research results, such as last night's fat man, which completely confirms the theoretical feasibility, and it is very important to collect data in the first time.
Tong Xuan stood on the edge of the pit, feeling scared for a while.
What if...... What if, I didn't check it carefully last night, and I didn't see anything wrong, I blew it up on the spot......
Belin was right, if something went wrong with this thing, the Academy of Sciences would really be in the driver's seat!
What's even more terrifying is that this thing appeared in the barracks at the same time as the emperor......
Tong Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his back, and secretly swore in his heart that if he touched this thing again in the future, he must check it carefully, let alone three times, thirty times is not too much.
…………
Zhu Qizhen led a large group of people to Topkapi Palace, and saw that the palace gate was full of ruins and broken walls, and the unique porphyry patterns of granite were exposed at the broken stubble.
It is the best-preserved building in all of Constantinople, but it is also in ruins.
At the palace gate, there were more than 100 people kneeling.
Some of them were dressed in armor, some in civilian clothes, and they bowed down one after another.
One of them said cautiously: "Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhu Qizhen squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you Han?" ”
"I'm ...... No, my father is Han Chinese, my mother is Eastern Roman, I was born on a ship, on the sea......"
The man stammered for a long time, explaining his identity in general.
His name was Calle, his father was originally a merchant engaged in sea smuggling, and his mother was an Eastern Roman prostitute engaged in the leather and meat business.
Zhu Qizhen asked, "What is your identity here?" ”
"I don't have an identity, I'm just a merchant, I've been to Daming, where porcelain and silk are very sought-after, and every time it's a huge profit......"
"Whatever I ask you, you can say it, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes...... Your Majesty the Emperor, please ask! ”
"You don't have an identity, why are you here, and who are they?"
"I am the interpreter, they are all defenders of the city, and in order to show their sincerity, they captured King Muhad, and some nobles, and they ...... there"
Kale pointed to a corner, where there were several people tied up in the middle of the line, their clothes and hair were charred black, and if he didn't say it, who knew that there was an Ottoman king here?
Zhu Qizhen asked again, "Which is the king?" ”
"That's it!"
Calle stepped forward and pointed to one of them.
"Call him over!"
"Can't get over ......"
Kale shook his head and said, "He's knocked unconscious." ”
"Huh?"
"When we caught him, he wanted to kill himself, and then he ...... Knocked out ......"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but laugh that the dignified king of the Ottoman Empire had fallen to such a point.
Kale pointed to a blackened corpse and said, "This is Kasha, named Hafiz, who has been killed. The one in green was the Duke of Hilde, who was in charge of money and food, and ......"
Although this person was a businessman, he knew a lot about the Ottoman upper class, so he introduced them one by one.
It can be seen that the sincerity of these people's surrender is quite remarkable, and almost all the nobles and ministers in the city are arrested, headed by King Muhad.
Some even died on the spot, and their bodies were carried over.
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction, with Kalai and these surrendered commanders, it saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The Ottomans practiced a caste system, similar to that of the Yuan Dynasty, which divided the people of the world into several classes.
Among them, the status of the army was not high, only slightly higher than that of artisans, peasants, and prostitutes, so these people were always in a state of outward obedience to the nobility but inwardly hatred.
To put it bluntly, I will send you to death, I will eat meat, and it depends on my mood if you want to drink soup.
After last night's battle, the first to mutiny were the palace guards, and they knew that if they continued to resist to the end, there was only one way out.
It is better to tie up the king before the Ming army enters the city, and then open the city gate to greet him, maybe he can save his life.
At this time, Muhad woke up slowly, looking at everything in front of him, and only smiled bitterly.
Look at the tall horse in front of you, and the man in golden armor on horseback...... Come to think of it, this is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't look very old, at most he is in his thirties, but the calmness on his face doesn't look like a young man at all.
"Haha, haha......"
Muhad burst out laughing, as if he had gone mad.
Zhu Qizhen said to Kalai: "You ask him, what are you laughing at?" ”
Kalai turned to deliver a message, and Muhad said: "Kill me, the Ottomans will not give in!" We still have an army of 200,000 and thousands of people, so don't think you've won! ”
"And you, slut, dog thing!"
Muhad suddenly scolded Kale: "What qualifications do you have to stand here? ”
"This is Topkapi Palace, not your pirate father's merchant ship, and there's no slut mother here!"
Kale's face was ugly, but he still relayed the words word for word.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Tell him that I am the son of the Great Tomorrow, and I did not come today to start a war with the Ottomans, but because there were traitors in your court, these people have malicious intentions, and instigated the king to detain our Ming Dynasty to patrol the sea, intercept my Ming fleet, and provoke friendly relations between the Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans, therefore, I have come to help King Muhad to sweep away the traitors!" ”
After listening to this, Kalai was directly stunned.
At this moment, he had doubts about his abilities.
Is it because I haven't been to Daming for a long time, and the Chinese language is unfamiliar?
Why don't you understand......
Zhu Qizhen saw him in a daze, and said impatiently: "Stunned, say!" ”
Kale scratched his head, then relayed to Mohad.
This time, it was Muhard's turn to be confused.
Kale, the profiteer, didn't translate it wrong?
You bombed my Constantinople like this, and then said you don't want to go to war with me?
And help me sweep away the traitors......
You should always tell me, who is the traitor?
"Carlis, did you hear me right?"
Kalai nodded and said, "King Muhad, although I don't like you very much, I can tell you responsibly that these words were said by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. ”
Muhad thought for a moment and said: "Since you are here to help me, well, you tell him that the seizure of the people and ships of the Ming Dynasty is the idea of Hafiz Kasya, and I agree to hand over the people to them, and return the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and if necessary, the Ottoman Empire will also give a sum of gold as compensation." ”
Kalai relayed in Chinese, then closed his mouth and waited for a reply.
Zhu Qizhen chuckled and said, "Since King Muhad insists on shielding the traitors, there is nothing to say. ”
"Not ......"
Kalai thought that he had not made it clear, and hurriedly said: "King Muhad promised to hand over Hafiz Kasha to ......"
"You don't have to say it again!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop it, and said: "The Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans are friends, they could have coexisted in harmony, but now there are traitors who are in rebellion, as a king, regardless of black and white, shielding the traitors, not only with the Ming Dynasty, but also with the Ottoman thousands of Li people as enemies!" ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, King Muhad promised to hand over ......"
Kalai was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he secretly said in his heart, where did he say something wrong?
"I know, you said it very clearly, and his meaning is also very clear, since you are ready to resist to the end, then give an explanation to the people of the two countries!"
"That...... I mean......"
"Needless to say, I already know how to do it."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and Yuan Bin stepped forward and pulled out the saber at his waist.
Muhad was shocked and hurriedly said, "Kale, how did you translate?" ”
"That's what you said!"
"So what's going on?"
"I, I...... I don't know! ”
Muhad couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "You dog, you deliberately hurt me, didn't you? ”
"I don't have ......"
Kale's face was full of grievances and explained: "I, I don't know what happened! ”
