Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Siege Strategy of the North Road

As for the prince Zhu Wenkui, to be honest, Guo Kang is actually more sympathetic to him.

After the failure of the feudal reduction, Zhu Yunwen did not dare to return to France openly, and he was embarrassed to see his wife and children, so he claimed that he still had important tasks to do, and wandered around Europe all day long, trying to persuade everyone to help him do great things.

Zhu Wenkui has been in Dadu for the past few years, interacting with people from all walks of life. Because Zhu Yunwen saw the dragon all day long, and often didn't know where to go, many Europeans who came to him went to look for him.

Many of these people simply heard of Seris's reputation and wanted to meet the great nobles there. Because he couldn't find King Wu, he first asked to see the prince and open his eyes. Even some businessmen from the Middle East and even Javanese dollars followed suit. After all, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were not so good in the Ming Dynasty.

This put a lot of pressure on Zhu Wenkui.

My father seemed completely unreliable, and my mother was a quiet and introverted traditional woman who was not good at dealing with these things. As a result, almost all kinds of entertainment had to be performed by him.

And his identity, what kind of position he is, he can't tell.

Overseas people regarded him as a representative figure of the Ming Dynasty. Because the Mongolians called Zhu Yuanzhang "Brother Zhu Guanren" back then, everyone called him "Little Zhu Guanren", and when there was no clear title and title for the time being, he was called him.

Although you know it when you hear the name, it corresponds to Zhu Yuanzhang. But Xiao Zhu Guanren thinks that his family has obviously escaped, and they are exiles who have run away. Can it represent the Ming Dynasty?

Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others comforted him, saying that "Spring and Autumn" recorded a lot of things about the running of sons and grandsons, which is not a big deal, and there is no need to care too much. But the times and environment are different, and he still has no confidence in his heart.

He believes that the value of his own family is actually from the Ming Dynasty. But with the help of the reputation of the Ming Dynasty to maintain a decent life, it is really a bit of a fox and a tiger.

He didn't know how long he would be able to survive or what to do. As a result, Xiao Zhu officials can only rely on their own thinking, to instinctively try to maintain their dignity.

Therefore, he is very sensitive to everything around him, while trying to put up a stand in public, according to what he knows and what he knows, and pretends to be a "super nobleman". On the other hand, they are constantly carefully observing the reactions of others, lest others discover the weakness of their own strength and lose their usefulness.

Due to his lack of experience and acting skills, Xiao Zhu's performance is often a little ...... Blunt. The heavenly merchants and uneducated European aristocrats who came from afar may not be able to see it. But in the eyes of the purple horde, it obviously gives people a sense of disobedience that children are hard to be adults.

Li Xuanying even gave him a nickname, called "Zhu Da Hang". This title quickly spread among the nobles' children, and they almost leaked their mouths just now.

In this regard, Guo Kang has nothing to do.

Xiao Zhu officials emphasized their "legitimacy" and "authority", and the most direct response to the questioning was to put on a show. But the Europeans still ate this set, which allowed him to deal with the problems of the past many times. In this case, I can only hope that he will gradually mature in the future and can get rid of his dependence on this, and there seems to be no other good way.

The queen greeted him for a while and asked about Princess Ma's condition. Xiao Zhu said that she has gotten a lot better and thanked Baselisa for her concern. After the politeness, the two got to the point.

The empress told him that there were merchants who had reached Dadu from the Ming Dynasty along the roads on the steppe. If the merchants can take this road, then they can also follow this road back to the Central Plains. The Romans intended to open up this route and send their family back to the Ming Dynasty. It's just that they need to use their connections to confirm the situation along the way, and then talk to the Ming Dynasty first. If you are prepared, you can make the journey safer.

As she spoke, the queen glanced at Guo Kang. Guo Kang understood, hurriedly walked to the map he had just moved, and talked about the possible paths he had just discussed.

"From here to Kazan and Timur Sarai were Roman fiefdoms and allies. There is no danger in moving around here. "But to the east of Salai, it's not so easy to say," he said. ”

"That place was originally the territory of the White Horde. Timur supported Tokhtamysh in order to control it. "But after that, the White Horde quickly rebelled and allied with us in Rome and fought," he said. Therefore, this road has not been smoothed. ”

"But it was not too difficult to solve this problem: we sent troops from Sarai and attacked the eastern part of the Kipchak steppe eastward; Shaharu sent troops from the river and attacked north into the lower reaches of the Syr Darya River and the surrounding areas of the Aral Sea; Eastern Chagatai sent troops from the Tingzhou line and attacked the Irtysh River valley to the northwest; The Ming Dynasty could attack from Hami and contain the Warat people who might take advantage of the opportunity to advance westward. ”

After saying that, he touched Tuhuan again.

"Uh...... Of course, we could have been even bolder. Tu Huan was stunned, but he was still familiar with the matter of military strategy, so he didn't hesitate to say it: "When the other two families attack, we can pass through the road in the northern part of the grassland, go straight to Qianqian Prefecture, establish a stronghold there, and stick the knife directly into the back of Beiyuan and Bai Tent." ”

"And the Ming Dynasty, if you are bold, you can start from the eastern line, pass through Liaoyang Province, the edge of the grassland and forest land to the north, and then go west to the north to smash the North Yuan's nest on the south bank of the North Sea."

"If we can cooperate well, then these two armies will be like a pincer, clamping the enemy from both sides." He tapped on the map of the Mobei region and said metaphorically: "If the strategic goal can be achieved, then our four khanates can complete the battle to destroy the enemies in Mobei and Central Asia, and remove the Mongol threat to the entire continent." ”

Xiao Zhu Guanren and Zhu Rangna looked at him strangely. Tuohuan was confused for a moment, and then reacted again.

"I mean, the threat of the Mongols in Mobei." He added.
