Surrounded by water on three sides, Constantinople is easy to defend and difficult to attack, controlling the transportation arteries of the Eurasian continent, and its geographical location is of great strategic significance.

Since the Ming army was stationed, Zhu Qizhen immediately dispatched troops, controlled the roads that must be passed around, and then organized people to repair the houses and roads, and posted notices, the Ming court will treat everyone equally, and will never engage in the caste system, all the people of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of men and women, old and young, regardless of farmers and craftsmen, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low.

The local people don't know why, anyway, they can do whatever they tell them to do.

Later, it turned out that it seemed that these Orientals were not as terrible as they imagined, nor were they the legendary devils, they were orderly, never disturbed the people, and there was no looting.

On the contrary, the former nobles, whose property was confiscated, did not dare to go to the trouble of the Orientals, and turned their heads to sharpen their knives against the commoners.

Because in their eyes, the status of civilians is no different from that of cattle and sheep.

"Stop!"

A group of Ming troops patrolling the city heard the sound of quarrels in front of them, and hurried over to check, and as a result, they saw a group of people grabbing food.

This is a civilian area, similar to the slums of later generations, with dilapidated houses, and most of the people living in them are poor.

It can be seen from the dress of these people in front of them that this family is a father and daughter, the old man is clutching a sack, and his daughter struggles to push the other people away, but she is delicate and thin, and she can't push it at all.

It was three men who started to grab the grain, all of whom looked like five big and three thick, and the man at the head kicked the old man away, picked up the grain bag and left.

The sudden appearance of the Ming army made them stop immediately, and their faces turned pale one by one.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The patrol team consisted of seven or eight people, led by a commander.

This person's name is Erhu, and he was originally an ordinary big-headed soldier, but for some reason, he was suddenly promoted to the top of the ranks.

Moreover, his eldest brother, that is, the big tiger, was also promoted.

Today is the first time that Erhu has led the team, and when he saw someone committing murder on the street, he immediately stepped forward to stop it.

Due to the language barrier, the other party seemed a little confused, and he didn't dare to act rashly on the spot.

Erhu raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Put down the grain and get out!"

When the five big and three thick strong men saw the cold and shining knives, they immediately understood, hurriedly threw down the food, turned around and ran.

The father and daughter at the scene snuggled together, their four eyes staring directly at the sack containing grain, but they did not dare to move.

Their thinking has long been fixed, the nobles' doglegs grab food, and the soldiers also rob, there is no difference.

Erhu stepped forward, grabbed the grain bag, opened it and took a look, it was filled with flour, but the texture was extremely rough, black and yellow, as if the bran was also stirred together when grinding.

He put away his waist knife and walked over with his pocket.

The two women were even more bewildered, and huddled together like two quails.

"The next time someone steals something from you, look for us on the street!"

Erhu handed over the sack, and the other party took it carefully, his eyes full of incredulity.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The father and daughter finally reacted, burst into tears with excitement, knelt down and kowtowed.

"What are you doing, you don't need to make this great gift!"

Although Erhu didn't understand, he knew that the other party must be thanking himself, and he was grateful from the heart.

For some reason, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pride in my heart.

At this time, the old man grabbed Erhu's hand, then grabbed his daughter and pushed Erhu hard.

"Hey, this is ...... What for?"

Erhu was stunned, what do you mean?

And take their daughters as a thank you gift?

Besides, is my second tiger such a casual person......

"Don't be like that, I'm not that kind person, I got it with good intentions......

Erhu shirked and prepared to leave, but the old man clutched his clothes, no matter what he said

Don't let go.

"You're a man...... It's boring, my second tiger is not a casual person, let go, if you don't let go, I'm ...... I'll treat you as a disturbance of the peace......

The old man didn't pay attention to it at all, or rather, he couldn't understand it if he wanted to, he just grabbed Erhu's clothes and kept repeating this sentence in his mouth.

However, Erhu didn't understand, but he felt more and more that things were strange, and in desperation, he ordered someone to go back and find an interpreter.

About a quarter of an hour later, two soldiers came with their cards and trotted in a puff of smoke.

As the new instructor, Kalai was already busy, and he was dragged by others, panting, and asked, "General Erhu, what happened?"

"This old man has to give his daughter to me, you hurry up and help me refuse!"

Kalai crouched down, chatted with the old man, and nodded.

"General Erhu, he really wants to marry his daughter to you, or rather, to give it to you."

"Don't, don't ......"

The two tigers waved their hands again and again, and subconsciously hid back.

"General, don't worry!"

Kalai hastened to explain, "The old man said that his daughter had been betrothed to the son of Baron Langlich......

"Now that they're all married, what else do you say?"

"The general doesn't know that this Baron Langlich is not a good thing, and all the bad things have been done, so the gods are angry with his son."

"What do you mean?"

"His son is a fool, about the same intelligence as a six-year-old."

"That's not good, since we've already made a marriage contract, how can we go back on it?"

"It's not...... Their family is forced!"

"Forced?"

When Erhu heard this, he immediately reacted and said angrily, "What kind of baron is that still alive?"

"As far as the lower officials know, since the Heavenly Army entered the city, Baron Langlich took the initiative to donate a large amount of gold and silver property, so he entered the list of pardons of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Since it's not a good thing, it shouldn't be forgiven!"

Erhu was angry in his heart, but when he thought that the list was set by the emperor, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Next month is the wedding date, if General Erhu refuses, this girl can only marry that fool."

After Ka finished speaking, he closed his mouth and quietly waited for the reaction of the second tiger.

Through this period of contact, he has become very clear that the Orientals are not brutal and murderous, on the contrary, they are a very friendly people.

They fought unstoppably, because there was only you on the battlefield, and if the Ottomans were victorious, they would never let the prisoners or leave the camp.

Back then, the Ottomans captured Constantinople and killed the Eastern Romans in the city.

Whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, they cannot escape the bad luck of being tortured and killed.

Look at how the Orientals did it, their soldiers took the lead in repairing the walls and houses, distributing relief food to the people in the city, and distributing severance pay to the captured soldiers.

Their army has never bullied civilians, and even helped civilians get ahead.

Kalai can imagine that if such an act appeared to an Ottoman soldier, it would be considered to be a brain hole.

As for the weak woman in front of her, it is not that she will be finished by marrying a fool, but that she will be reduced to the plaything of the nobles, and the rest of her life will be a tragedy.

Her father knew this very well, so he would desperately push her towards Erhu.

With the Oriental as his backer, Baron Langlitch would dispel this idea.

"Second Tiger General, the subordinate has something to say, please move."

Kalai pulled Erhu aside and said, "If this girl marries, she will definitely not live for half a year."

"Aren't you just a fool, at most a widow, how can it be as serious as you say?"

"No!"

Kalai shook his head and said, "Baron Langlich is a pervert, yes...... It's a fowl

Beast, his foolish son married three daughters-in-law, and none of them lived more than half a year."

Erhu realized that something was wrong and asked, "What is the situation?"

"Baron Langlich will give away his own women in order to curry favor with other nobles, including the daughter-in-law of his stupid son, alas, not to mention......

Kalai didn't want to explain too much about these dirty things, but Erhu raised his eyebrows and turned back to the father and daughter.

"What's your name?"

Kalai hurriedly followed the translator, and then said, "This old man's name is Guzak, and his daughter's name is Lisa."

"Why is one surnamed Gu and the other surnamed Li?"

"It's not Lee, it's Lisa, which means God's oath......

Erhu didn't finish listening, so he said impatiently, "That's not right, are these two biological?"

"They are untouchables, they have no surnames, only first names," he said.

"Don't even have a surname?"

"Untouchables don't have surnames."

"Fuck it...... No wonder the emperor has repeatedly emphasized that all the people of the Ming Dynasty do not distinguish between high and low, this is what it means!"

"The Ottomans have always been caste, the lowest status of the untouchables, and sometimes, they are not considered adults," said Kalai.

Erhu made up his mind and said, "Lisha, right?"

"It's Lisa."

"Okay, just Lisha, my second tiger is willing to marry you, marry or not, give me a happy word!"

Kalai translated these words, and the other party was stunned again.

Guzak only thinks about giving his daughter to others, even if he is a cheap maid, at least he can live.

However, people talk about marriage, which is different.

When her daughter got married, she became the wife of an Oriental, and her identity changed greatly, wouldn't she even have to change her status as a pariah?

Guzak's eyes lit up, but he was worried, wondering if the other party was sincere, or was he making fun of himself?

Seeing this, Erhu reached out and took out a few gold coins from his arms, which were recently paid, and they were all bright gold.

Of course, it was all taken from the Ottomans.

As if it wasn't enough, he asked for some from seven or eight people behind him, a total of twenty gold coins.

"This is a dowry, do you see enough?"

Guzak looked at the gold coin and wanted to reach out to take it, but he trembled and couldn't use his strength.

Erhu simply put the gold coin in his hand and said, "From now on, your daughter is my wife, don't worry, from now on, no matter what bullshit Baron is, no one will dare to touch her!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lisa, who looked pretty good, but she was too thin, but ...... It's a bit of a skinny horse's charm......

Within half a day, the news about Erhu marrying a foreign daughter-in-law spread.

When he returned home, Dahu immediately called him over.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

Dahu grimaced and asked, "I heard that you married a foreign daughter-in-law?"

Erhu nodded: "Yes!"

"Yes, what, yes?"

The big tiger glared angrily and said, "Marrying a wife is a lifelong event, and what we pay attention to is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, our father and mother are gone, and your eldest brother is still here!"

"It's not ...... It happened suddenly, and I wanted to come back and tell you......

"Humph!"

The big tiger snorted coldly and continued to ask, "Tell me, what's going on?"

At that moment, Erhu recounted everything that happened during the day, and finally said: "I was also excited at the time, but then I thought about it, our brothers will not go back in the future, and if we don't marry a foreign daughter-in-law, we will have to fight a bachelor."

"I'm not against it, you can at least discuss it with me about such a big matter!"

"It's not too late to discuss......

"Don't talk to me!"

Dahu glared at him and said, "I'll find someone tomorrow, just come here, let him be a matchmaker, bring a dowry to propose, and be more formal."

「

Big brother, there's no need to be so formal, right?"

"Of course it is!"

The big tiger suddenly laughed and said, "You kid is really a stupid person with stupid luck, such a good thing for you to catch up!"

Erhu hurriedly said, "It's just an ordinary person, and it's not a beautiful woman with a beautiful country......

"I'm not talking about women!"

Dahu said in a tone that was almost filial: "Do you know that this time the mistake happened to fit the emperor's heart!"

"Huh?"

Erhu was stunned, I married a foreign daughter-in-law, why did I still have a relationship with the emperor?

"Big brother, what do you mean, can you say it directly, I don't understand!"

Dahu then said: "The emperor may have to go back, before leaving, he will issue an edict to encourage intermarriage, and now that the edict has not been issued, your kid has made a start, isn't this a big luck?"

Erhu didn't understand and asked, "Why do you encourage interracial marriage?"

"His Royal Highness will lead troops to stay behind, if interracial marriage is not encouraged, where can we find a wife for those of us who are soldiers?"

"That's ...... so."

Dahu continued: "Not only that, the emperor also said that if you want to teach people here to learn Chinese and write Chinese characters, the fastest and most effective way is to intermarry."

Erhu nodded thoughtfully, the truth is a little profound, but it is not obscure, if you think about it carefully, you can still figure it out.

"Then I'm ......."

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll arrange it tomorrow, I'll tell you, you're famous now, and even the emperor knows about you!"

"Ah......h

Erhu was completely stunned and at a loss.

"The emperor said that your kid is too hungry and thirsty, and just a few days after the battle, he started looking for women!"

"No, that's not what I meant......

"Alright, you listen to me!"

Dahu glared at him angrily, and said, "The emperor also said that when you get married, let His Royal Highness King Yu personally witness the marriage, your kid is really developed!"

Erhu looked dazed, and with a little bit of happiness.

His Royal Highness the King of Servants gave me a marriage certificate?

What a fucking honor!
