Chapter 214: Married my daughter, and still want my country, you are so shameless.
"Smack!"
A whip resounded through the wilderness, followed by a scream of pain.
"Fuck it up and work hard, grind and chirp, I'll kill you!"
At the mouth of the ambushed canyon, densely packed with Ah San slaves and Timur captives, with shackles on their hands and feet, under the supervision of the cold-faced Ming army who could scrape off the frost, carried stones and wood to build the fortress.
After the ambush was over, due to the lack of strength of the Ming army, it was impossible to launch a counterattack in one step, so Zhu Zhangui proposed to build a fortress at the mouth of the gorge as a checkpoint between the north and the south.
Once this level is built, it can be used not only now, but also as a tax collection point and a fortress against enemies in the north in the future.
As a result, Zhu Zhangui proposed this idea, and Yang Pu directly opposed it.
He felt that building a checkpoint was not only a waste of financial resources but also a waste of manpower, and the population of Daming here was not much, if the soldiers were allowed to build checkpoints, the soldiers' physical strength would definitely be consumed rapidly.
When the time comes, if the enemy comes, do you still have to let the tired soldiers with weak hands and feet go to war?
Yang Pu said this, and Zhu Zhangui rolled his eyes.
Let yourself be cultivated, this guy is stupid to read, right?
Or the reincarnation of the Virgin.
Zhu Zhangui asked speechlessly: "Now there are Ah San slaves everywhere, and there are more than 20,000 captives, don't you need these people to work, do you still keep them to eat?" ”
Zhu Zhangui asked rhetorically, which made Yang Pu stunned at that time.
Only then did he come back to his senses, this was not above the Ming Dynasty.
The people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not needed to build anything, and there were slaves and captives everywhere.
There is no shortage of stone and wood, and there is a lot of it all around.
As for wages and stuff, that's not to mention.
Being able to give these slaves a bite to eat is the greatest kindness of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the matter of building the level was decided, and the old man even gave this level a name.
God-given pass!
It means that the land of the Three Kingdoms is the best gift from God to the Ming Dynasty.
Daming is building a checkpoint, and Shaharu naturally won't watch Daming repair it.
If Da Ming built a checkpoint here, it would be difficult for him to fight to the south in the future.
So as long as Daming's side starts construction, his side will send people to attack and disturb it.
The other party sent someone to obstruct his project, and the old man naturally would not get used to the other party.
Let Zhu Gaoxu, who is about the same as a little recuperation, take the cavalry to protect the construction of the checkpoint.
Battles between the two sides were frequent outside the canyon.
It's not you who hit me today, but I'll chase you tomorrow and cut me.
Anyway, the big war never broke out, but the skirmishes continued.
After it was confirmed that Hal was killed, Shaharu also stopped his all-out offensive.
It's not that he doesn't want to fight, it's that there are no generals under his command who can command such a large army.
Although he also knows a little bit about military affairs, he is still too far behind his father-in-law.
Not to mention commanding the army to fight, the daily camping and logistics arrangements made him anxious.
Fortunately, the Ming army did not have the ability to return to attack, and no one had the idea of fighting, so the two sides were deadlocked.
One side waited for the arrival of a new commander-in-chief, and the other side just waited for the follow-up soldiers to arrive.
The Northern War came to an end for the time being, and the Gangetic Plain War in India began again.
In order to take the Three Kingdoms as soon as possible, the old man brought Zhu Zhangui troops and sent all the reinforcements to Zhang Feng on the right flank, and ordered him to take the Ganges Plain in the fastest time.
Zhang Feng, who was replenished, excitedly launched an attack.
He was depressed during this time.
As the momentum of his offensive stopped, the three governors who were beaten at the beginning slowly recovered from their fear and began to launch a tentative counterattack against the Ming army.
After fighting several times in a row, after making sure that the Ming army really had no idea of coming out to fight, they also became arrogant.
Attacking this area today, attacking that city tomorrow, and disrupting the supply of the Ming army is very arrogant anyway.
The actions of these Ah San fleas made Zhang Fengqi's teeth itch.
That is, his subordinates are insufficient, otherwise he would have to arrest these guys and pinch them to death one by one.
The Ming army suddenly launched an attack, which made the governors in the eastern area of the Ganges Plain who were dancing happily stunned all of a sudden.
A few days ago, the enemy on the opposite side was still nesting in its shell like a turtle and couldn't come out, why did it suddenly attack?
They didn't come back to their senses for a while, and they were caught off guard.
In less than half a month, Zhang Feng led his troops all the way to the border between the Sultanate of Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
"Your Highness, there is really no need for the last general to send more people with you."
In the border area between the two countries, Zhang Feng looked at Zhu Zhangui, who was simply carrying thousands of people, and said with some concern.
Zhu Zhangui shook his head.
"No need, my father-in-law, I'm more daring than you think!"
"Don't say that I still have more than 1,000 people with me, I just went alone, and he didn't dare to do anything to me."
"Even if there is an accident, my 1,000 men will be fine to defend an area. Their capital is also very close to the sea, and we have two warships there, and they dare not move. ”
"When the time comes, you act according to the plan, if I don't send someone to reply to you at the appointed time, you will attack directly!"
Seeing that Zhu Zhangui had made up his mind, Zhang Feng didn't persuade him much, but he explained himself in his heart, and when the time came, he would pay more attention to the situation on the other side, and push it over directly if there was any special situation.
The capital of the Sultanate of Bangladesh is Dhaka in the southern region.
The current city of Dhaka is not as dirty and messy as it was in later generations.
Due to its business and geography, Dhaka City is now known as a cosmopolitan city.
Countless small countries in the surrounding area, as well as the coastal countries in the western region, almost all of their goods are transited or sold here.
Prosperous commerce and trade have contributed to the economic development of Bangladesh.
Coupled with the abundance of its own products, the Sultanate of Bangladesh has become the richest of the countless small countries around.
The old king was very happy during this time.
His two daughters, who were far away in Daming, came back to see him, and brought him a lot of gifts from Daming, which made the old king sigh for a while, his daughter was not raised in vain.
What makes him even happier is that his two daughters have also become the women of the future king of the Ming Dynasty.
Although she is a concubine with a somewhat low status, in the eyes of the old king, the status of the daughter is even higher than that of the ordinary little queen.
That's the mighty Ming!
He was very glad that he had decisively befriended Zhu Zhangui at the beginning, if he had been a little colder at that time, I am afraid that what Ah Sanguo next door had recently experienced would also fall on him.
As a neighbor of the three countries, he was the first to know about the invasion of the three countries.
At first, the old king was still a little panicked, for fear that his wealth would attract people who attacked the Three Kingdoms.
As a result, after he inquired, he learned that it was the Ming army that attacked the Three Kingdoms, and his heart was completely relaxed.
If it is the Ming Dynasty, they are not afraid, their country has a backer in the Ming Dynasty, as long as their side does not provoke, the Ming army will definitely not hurt Bangladesh in the slightest.
Two days ago, he received new news that the Ganges Plain of the Three Kingdoms had been completely taken down by the Ming army.
This made the old king a little regretful.
When the monarch has no ambition, the fertile land of the Ganges Plain has also been coveted for a long time.
It's a pity that grandpa and dad are too losers.
The war waged by the two men almost exhausted the national strength of the Sultanate of Bengal.
If the military power he has now can be as powerful as that of his grandfather, how can he use Daming to come over, he will eat it himself.
"Daming has taken the Ganges Plain, and the two parties will be neighbors in the future, should I send some gifts to congratulate me!"
The old king, sitting on the throne, touched his chin and considered whether to give Da Ming some gifts.
The more relatives move around, the closer they become.
It was a great joy for a relative's family to get a piece of land, and if he didn't send some gifts to congratulate him, the old king felt a little unreasonable.
What's more, Daming is still his backer, if he doesn't make this backer comfortable, it will be difficult to open his mouth when he has something to ask for in the future.
"Father!"
Just as the old king pondered what gift to give, the eldest daughter, dressed in a pink court suit, walked in.
There was a rule in the Ming Dynasty that concubines were not allowed to wear positive colors.
So Hu Shanxiang and Sanbao are wearing dresses such as pink and green.
"What's wrong with my good daughter, isn't today's food not to taste!"
The old king, who was thinking about what gift to give, saw that his baby girl was coming, and hurriedly greeted him.
His eldest daughter is now his peace and blessing, and the child in his womb is the future support of the Sultanate of Bangladesh, and he can't suffer any grievances.
Since Sambo had just been pregnant, it was the time when the reaction was the greatest.
All kinds of greasy smells could not be smelled, so the old king ordered that there should be no heavy smells in the palace, and that the food should be eaten according to the wishes of his precious daughter.
Even in order to make his daughter feel comfortable and be able to take care of her body, he has never liked flowers, and all over the palace, including his council hall, are full of all kinds of beautiful flowers.
and decreed that all over the palace, his daughter could go wherever she wanted, and no one was allowed to stop her.
Sambo, who was helped by his father to sit down, smiled and shook his head.
"It's better today, eat something, I came to you for something!"
With that, Sambo took out a letter and handed it to the old king.
The old king took the letter suspiciously, opened it and saw the letter sent by his son-in-law.
In order to make his father understand, Sanbao also translated it for his father intimately.
At the beginning was Zhu Zhangui's greeting, which made the old king, who felt respected, nod his head again and again with satisfaction.
Zhu Zhangui first mentioned that he was going to come over.
And explained that there are two main reasons for coming.
One is to look at the three treasures who are pregnant, and the other is to discuss the border issue with the old king.
Seeing the first reason, the old king couldn't help but laugh out.
It seems that his daughter is very important in the mind of his son-in-law.
If one of his concubines was pregnant, he probably wouldn't even ask, let alone come over to visit in person.
The second reason is that the old king can also understand.
The Ming Dynasty occupied the Ganges Plain area, and the border issue between the two countries must be discussed, and if the Mohu Lake is dealt with, the two countries may have disputes in the future.
After looking at the time of arrival, the old king happily accepted the letter and said to the eldest daughter: "When my son-in-law comes, let your brother personally greet him, and we will hold another reception banquet in the evening, so that my son-in-law cannot think that we are rude." ”
Sambo smiled and nodded, waving his hand at the servants serving to the left and right.
"What? Is there anything else to explain? ”
Seeing that his daughter had driven all his subordinates out, the old king thought that he had not arranged something in place.
Sam Bao shook his head slightly, looked at the old king and asked seriously, "Father, haven't you thought about the future of the Sultanate of Bengal?" ”
The old king frowned.
"Daughter, what do you mean by this, we have Daming as a backer, is there any danger in the future?"
Seeing that his father didn't understand what he meant, San Bao was silent for a while, then sighed and said.
"Father, you haven't been to Daming, you don't understand how powerful they are!"
"Let's not mention anything else, let's mention the army."
"The power to attack the Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan is not even 1/10 of the military strength of the Ming Dynasty! If they want to, they can draw out an army of 2 million or even 3 million at any time! And they are all elite troops who are well-trained and good at fighting! ”
"Shhh
The old king gasped in fright at this amount.
Two or three million troops, my God, is this the strength that a country should have?
The Sultanate of Bengal, although rich, was not militarily strong.
The whole army, including the guards of those nobles, is at most a hundred thousand troops.
Seeing that his father was frightened by the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, Sanbao then took advantage of the fire and said: "My husband, your son-in-law is an ambitious person, he once laughed with me and talked about it, he wants to create an empire on which the sun never sets!" ”
"Do you know what the Sun Never Sets Empire is?"
The old king shook his head blankly.
Sanbao smiled slightly, and said proudly: "The sun never sets in the empire is within 12 hours of a day, no matter the day and night blizzard and thunderstorm, there is always a piece of the land of the Ming Dynasty under the sun!" ”
The old king's eyes couldn't help but widen.
As a king of a small country, there was never such an idea.
He couldn't imagine how big that country was.
Sanbao slowly got up, walked to his father's side and said: "At that time, the land of the Ming Dynasty will have no borders, and at that time, the army of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be 2 million 3 million, but 10 million, 20 million or even 50 million!" ”
"At that time, my husband, your son-in-law, will be the greatest king of all time, and your grandson, perhaps by blood, will not be able to inherit the throne, but he will be given a piece of territory larger than the Sultanate of Bengal!"
The old king was speechless.
50 million troops, several times more than the population of his entire country.
With such a powerful army, who else can defeat the Ming Dynasty in the future?
No!
The old king's heart was shocked.
I am afraid that in the future, there will be no other countries in this world except for the Ming Dynasty.
And his son-in-law will become the king of this world, the king of all races in the world.
"Father, the future situation has been decided, no one can stop the take-off and rise of the Ming Dynasty, even if the gods come, they must bow down."
"Although we are backed by the Great Ming Kingdom, we will not have any enemies who dare to bully, but then we will always be outsiders."
"My husband and I are alive, maybe it will be better, but once we leave in the future, the relationship between the two sides will become more and more intense, and then the Sultanate of Bengal will go from here!"
The old king was silent.
He understood what his daughter meant.
The daughter wants to take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty has not yet risen, so that the Sultanate of Bangladesh will join the Ming Dynasty, become a part of the Ming Dynasty, and take off with the Ming Dynasty.
But after all, this is the ancestral inheritance, and countless royal family members have paid their lives in exchange for the country. Let the old king give up like this, he is really a little reluctant.
"Son, can you give your father a little time and let me think about it?"
The old king looked down and thought for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind, he needed time to think about it.
Whether to survive with the help of Daming's relationship, or join Daming to take off together, he really can't make a decision for a while.
San Bao nodded, and didn't persuade him further.
She understands that her father will definitely be reluctant to give up such a big family business, and the country is not in charge of her father alone, and her father needs to discuss with his uncle, brother, and ministers.
"Then you have a good rest, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, we still have time!"
The old king nodded tiredly, and silently turned back to his throne, looking blankly ahead.
