The melee in Guangzhou lasted three days.

Three days later, as the last group of Semu warriors trapped in Zhenhai Tower set the five-story building on fire, it was reduced to ashes, and the Guangzhou Semu Rebellion was completely quelled.

In the end, nearly 50,000 corpses were cleared of the city.

Of course, the soldiers and civilians who quelled the rebellion also suffered 20,000 casualties.

In particular, many local gentry because they were the main targets of the plundering of the anti-party of the color eyes, so their losses were the worst, in short, after this battle, even the rebels were killed, plus those who died at the hands of the anti-party of the color eyes, there is not one of the old powerful gentry in Guangzhou. As for the next battle, it was very simple, He Di was killed by his subordinates in Tuen Mun, and then his sailors surrendered to Zheng He, while Han Guan and others, who controlled Guangxi and Annam, surrendered, only Huang Zicheng, Hu Zizhao, He Gui and others, led the original Jianwen's imperial camp to try to hold Meiling, but then his subordinates were in civil strife, and a counter-melee broke out in Ji'an. Huang Zicheng died in the chaos, and the clan was nowhere to be found, but the little princess said that she would punish him for the nine clans, so the pursuit of his nine clans would continue, after all, this was what the ruling princess was staring at. As for Hu Zizhao, He Gui and others, they were killed by the Huarong Department who then took advantage of the chaos to invade Ji'an, and as for those who followed them, some died in the melee, and some were killed by Huarong after surrendering, and the remaining two or three thousand people fled into the mountains at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi and became bandits.

Of course, the end must be exterminated.

Because Xu Hui's ancestral army, which had gone south from the north, had already allied with the king of Chu to go south to Hengzhou.

Xu Huizu will be responsible for the aftermath of Xianggui and Annan.

Or Han Guan and other ministries disposed of.

After all, that's more than 200,000 troops.

But these are also easy to deal with, after all, they are all guards, go back to the guards and remove, just divide the fields, and the main generals will be transferred to the capital, how to look at the performance in the future, Han Guan can still use these.

Mainly, this guy has black hands.

For those toasts in Guangxi, he belonged to the general of the butcher executioner.

And the king of Chu can finally return to his feudal city of Jiaozhou to start his ambitions.

As for Changsheng, who went south from Fengyang, he was responsible for the aftermath of Jiangxi.

As for Yang Feng......

Tiger Gate.

"It's all yours!"

He pointed to the nearly 100 schooner clippers on the sea.

And in front of him was Zheng He.

"As far as I know, King Yan is ready to attack Constantinople, he needs warships there, He Di's subordinates are all guilty, and they also like Western trade, you take them west, when you set sail, you choose the route, in short, you can support your master as you want."

He went on to say.

Zheng He's identity is still the internal official of the Yan Palace......

He was an internal official given to Zhu Di by Zhu Yuanzhang.

To be precise, it is Zhu Di's house slave.

No one dares to change that.

Although he is the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, he is the official of the Yan Mansion, but he was borrowed by the princess regent to lead the water division as the official of the Yan Mansion, and he can return it now when he runs out.

"Ambassador, would it be feasible for me to lead them all the way west around the Cape of Good Hope on your map, and then into the Atlantic Ocean and north to the Mediterranean, and then make peace with the Ottomans of the Great King's expedition to the west?"

Zheng He said.

"Of course you can, but then you first have to solve the problem of whether your subordinates are willing to go or not, and let them follow you to Persia and Arabia, they are all willing, after all, their merchant ships have long taken this line, and you will lead them to carry countless goods, they can make a lot of money, and there is not much danger. But if you're going to the Atlantic, it's hard to say what the outcome will be, and they don't know if it's good, so if you risk sailing tens of thousands of miles to a foreign land for something that isn't necessarily beneficial, then you have to find a way to coax them into killing you halfway.

I don't care about you anymore. ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Reverse voyage!

It's good that he has this idea, and originally Zheng He's fleet went to East Africa, and even as far as the coast of Kenya, and the world he could know at that time was probably that area.

You must know that the end of the world of contemporaries in Europeans is the Sahara Desert.

But......

Yang Feng will not provide him with any help.

Because the voyage to the Western Ocean will not bring direct benefits to the imperial court, the imperial court only needs the route from the Ming Dynasty to the Persian Gulf and Egypt to ensure the interests of the sea, and bypassing the Cape of Good Hope to Europe is a redundant move, and the pay and benefits are completely incomparable. This was only beneficial to Zhu Di, who had to have a powerful fleet if he wanted to conquer Europe, a fleet that would allow him to control the Mediterranean.

Zheng He's one is fine.

This is all the schooner clippers that He Di has mastered in the past.

Eighty-six ships in total.

Not only the original Guangdong sailors, but also some armed merchant ships that specialized in India, Arabia, and Persia.

In fact, his armed merchant ships and warships are basically inseparable, when he needs to increase trade, he will transfer the sailor clipper to supplement the merchant fleet, and when he needs to strengthen the sailor, he will transfer the armed merchant ship into the sailor to fight, including the identity of the sailor is also ambiguous.

So there's no real way to tell the difference.

Entering the Mediterranean Sea with this strength is like a pod of killer whales swimming into a school of fish.

Now Venice, Genoa, and North Africa, which dominate the Mediterranean, are all scum, and the latter are still relying on row-row warships and primitive firearms, and these schooners can already play the battle line, and the heaviest artillery has reached fifteen catties, and one can carry about thirty guns.

Again, the speed is not comparable to that of the oared warships.

Truly invincible.

Of course, the premise is that it can be passed.

They don't need to worry about the route to East Africa, because the commercial route to Mogadishu, or Mugudushu, has been stable, and ships have passed almost every year in recent years. The use of these schooners greatly shortened the sailing time, and the average commercial speed of five to six knots allowed the fleet to make a round trip once a year, and although these merchant ships carried less cargo than the Fu ships, this was not important for the windfall profits of the maritime trade. But if you continue south from there, there are indeed boats that have been there to Laamu Island, and if you continue south, you will have no more, and the only advantage is that you have a map, and you have knowledge of monsoons and ocean currents, but it is difficult to say what the situation is along the coast.

After all, what southern Africa was like in this era, even in modern times, can only be said to know a rough idea.

And Zheng He needs to bypass the Cape of Good Hope.

And then it goes north along Africa.

You have to enter the Mediterranean, and then go all the way to the Aegean Sea where you meet Zhu Di.

For sailors, it is difficult to say whether such a voyage can be done.

"Ambassador, you said that Constantinople is a thousand-year-old capital, full of gold, right?"

Zheng He said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Yang Feng said.

"Just say it again in front of those sailors, gold will do the trick.

As for sailing, when I sailed to the Americas, I couldn't find even a single island for supplies along the way, and now I sail along the coastline, and there are enough supply points along the way, and it is nothing more than a stop forward, and the only thing to worry about is the epidemic, but in any case, there will be no more deaths from the epidemic than in the Americas. ”

Zheng He said with a smile.

Since he said so, Yang Feng had nothing to say.

However, speaking of the epidemic, Yang Feng suddenly remembered that the Indians should have a large-scale plague at this time, right?

"Also, don't dock in European countries, and replenish in North African ports after arriving in the Mediterranean, you let King Yan warn those chaotic forces in North Africa through the Ottomans, and say that the Ming Dynasty is crusading against Rome and has nothing to do with them, and the Ming Emperor is their protector, and will trade with them and bring them endless wealth."

He went on to say.

Zheng He looked at the sea not far away, where dozens of floating corpses of people with colored eyes were floating by.

Yang Feng followed his gaze......

"Well, even so, the Ming Emperor is still their protector, reward and punishment are protection, if you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you are meritorious, you will be rewarded."

He said with an unchanged face.

At this time, North Africa should be entrenched in a mess of chieftains.

Their main enemy was the Venetians.

Therefore, the fleet whose main purpose is to crusade against Venice and Genoa should be welcomed by them, and besides, they can't beat this fleet, a huge fleet that has almost evolved to the eighteenth century, and it is not at all something that can be provoked by pirates who still use gang jumping as their main mode of operation. What's more, if the Ming merchant ships continue to pass in the future, they can act as intermediaries in trade with Europe, and this era should strictly prohibit Ming ships from going to ports along the Mediterranean coast. Of course, in reality the trade along this line was of little value, because once Zhu Di captured Constantinople, he could control trade in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, including the overland trade routes of the Arabian Peninsula.

It's nothing more than a beating of the Mamluks.

At this time, the territory of the Ming Dynasty had reached Iraq.

There is the fief of the king of the western county of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the heavenly capital, and the Ilkhan.

His royal palace was in Baghdad.

This capital command is roughly modern Iraq, and then add the border between Iran and Turkey or the Kurdish settlement, and the nomadic subjects of the Ilkhan in this area are nomalist, Kurdish, and Arab cities, and the city lords rule their cities under the command of the Ming Dynasty, but they are controlled by the Ilkhan.

Then this commander was under the control of King Yan.

And the area controlled by the Mamluks is in Syria.

So after taking Constantinople, Zhu Di just had to crusade against it.

In this way, Yang Feng arranged Zheng He's reverse voyage to the Western Ocean, and then boarded the ship with the little princess to start their return journey in the farewell of the soldiers and civilians in Guangdong, but they did not take the sea route when they returned, after all, the land route had been opened at this time. In fact, the army led by Chang Sheng has already arrived in Nanchang, and Hua Rong, who was the forerunner of the king's division, solved the anti-party in various parts of Jiangxi, especially Ji'an and Ganzhou, the core areas of the anti-party. Nanchang and Ji'an, the two important Confucian towns, those Confucian scholars who cultivated and read heirlooms, were either arrested for digging guano as rebels, or died in the Semu Rebellion.
