Looking at the back of the little brother-in-law leaving, the Zhang family was a little depressed.

She didn't have to take on so much.

First the old man, and then her husband, even if the two emperors died, even if the time interval was less than a year, the Ming Dynasty did not mess up.

First, it is because Da Ming has an heir who has been decided, although it is not recognized as the best, but it is also arranged.

Second, it is because the biggest unstable factor of the Ming Dynasty did not make trouble.

If King Wu is silent and makes a move, then it is not easy to say, it can only be said that the current Ming Dynasty is the best ending, and any other ending will not be better than this.

But it is precisely because of this unstable factor that Zhang has borne far more than she has in the same period of history.

After all, everything could have been borne by her son, but now......

Thinking of this, Zhang shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhan Yan sealed all the concubines of Emperor Hongxi, and most of them were border areas and overseas, she supported them, and she did not hesitate when stamping them, which was quite happy.

There is only one reason, she doesn't want anyone other than her son to sit on the throne, even if this possibility is more absurd than everyone in King Wu's line covering it up overnight.

In fact, when the concubine of Emperor Hongxi was divided, the Zhang family guessed that Zhu Zhanyan would soon do something to her son, and she had imagined what the result would be.

In fact, this matter is not so complicated, for the sake of face and stability, King Wu put part of the most important power into her hands.

Although as long as King Wu thinks about it, it is only a matter of a moment, but on the bright side, she still has this right.

Therefore, she knew that her little uncle and the eldest nephew would not do things too well.

Zhu Zhanyong was put in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which was expected, because the Shuntian Mansion now does not allow any of the former emperor's concubines to take power, even if it is only a little.

Zhang also knows that it can be said that the ninety percent possibility is that Zhu Zhanyong, an unsuccessful child, is let go, because this has the least impact and the least negative effect, but she still fantasized about it.

Fantasy...... His more outstanding son Zhu Zhan was let go, so that the prince of the year had hope of turning the tables, instead of even the emperor being placed under house arrest in the palace as he is now.

And it's still in the East Palace.

This can be said to be the greatest shame, but there is nothing they can do.

Seeing that Hu Hui, Xia Yuanji and others all fell to the line of King Wu, and even the British Duke Zhang Fu chose to remain silent, Zhang didn't know what else to do for his son.

She's also hard.

On the one hand, it is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

King Yan's lineage was originally the throne of the crown prince Zhu Biao's lineage, so he had to do a good job so that he could give his hands on the ancestors.

On the other hand, her biological son.

Zhang knew very well that compared with his own son, his nephew would run Daming better, but after all, it was her son, and he was the child she poured the most effort into.

On the one hand, as the queen mother, as the biggest person in power in the Ming Dynasty today, and on the other hand, her own son, even if the Zhang family was prepared, even if she knew what she should do, she was still a little confused.

The sun rises higher and higher, releasing its energy unleashed unbridled towards the world.

Before the Xiaoice River period, this was a good thing, but it made Zhang's heart more and more nowhere to put it.

……

Siris.

Mu Bin sat on the city wall in a daze, looking at the soldiers outside the city talking and laughing, like a fool.

Not far away stood Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng.

Qian Yong was silent, because it had nothing to do with him, and he would never take care of things that had nothing to do with him, he always took Zhu Zhanyan's orders as everything.

As for Zhu Sanfeng, he kept smacking his lips and shaking his head.

As a normal person, when he saw a large-scale execution, and it was also a scene of executing civilians, Mu Bin's reaction should actually be considered normal, but he was Mu Bin.

As Mu Sheng's eldest son, as the next successor of the Qianning Palace, his performance was not enough, and he could even be said to be unqualified.

In fact, even as the successor of the Qianning Palace, Mu Bin's performance is not so bad, after all, listening is one thing, and real experience is another.

When Zhu Zhanyan first saw the killing, he vomited, no matter how good Mu Bin was, even if he was cold-blooded, after all, he was a seventeen-year-old child, how good could he be?

It's just that everyone's expectations are too high.

"Sister Sanfeng......"

I don't know how long it took, the soldiers outside the city had finished their work and returned to the city with their tools, and Mu Bin also came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng behind him.

"His Royal Highness, the Prince...... Why kill these people? Aren't they civilians? ”

Qian Yong looked at Zhu Sanfeng, who gave him a reassuring look and walked over.

Qian Yong hesitated slightly, but seemed to think that he might be less good at this kind of thing, so he turned around and left.

"Little grandfather, before answering your question, Sanfeng will ask you a question."

Zhu Sanfeng leaned on the city wall, and didn't care that the place behind him, which was only a hundred steps away, was the burial place of more than 50,000 Yu Peptide civilians, and said calmly.

"What if...... I mean, if you were Your Highness the Prince and you wanted to hold on to such a vast territory, what would you do? ”

"I ......" Mu Bin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after going through it in his head, he chose to shut up.

Just now, he subconsciously wanted to move out the things in the books as before, but the reasons for the weakening and even demise of various dynasties appeared in his mind.

There are solutions, but do they really work?

Is Meng Yuan Iron Riding powerful? It's amazing.

Although the place where Zhu Zhanyan is now beaten down is no smaller than the whip of God back then, such as the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire, they still use tactics, rather than directly hitting them.

Brutal and brutal, such a Meng Yuan has not been able to wear down the resistance of the Han people, from another perspective, can the Han people completely suppress the resistance of other nationalities?

If it can't be suppressed, what about the ending of Daming?

It seems that it can only be the same as the Tang and Song dynasties and even the Yuan Dynasty, right?

Thinking of this, Mu Bin suddenly thought of Yunnan, Xiangzhou Mansion, and Zhu Zhanyan's reason for doing this.

Turning his head suddenly, Mu Bin looked at Zhu Sanfeng with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

If it was really like what he thought, then Zhu Zhan was ......

He didn't dare to think about it......

Nowadays, the number of dead souls hanging under Zhu Zhan's name can no longer be counted, at least more than 20 million, because the civilians of the Timurid Empire who died due to the failure of the potato harvest are more than these.

Later, Zhu Zhan Yan had to advance the Golden Horde, the Grand Duchy of Mosk, and even the Kingdom of Naples and further north......

Mu Bin shuddered violently.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhu Zhanyan was able to control the entire Ming Dynasty in such a short period of time.

It's very simple to say, but the only one who can do it is Zhu Zhanyan.

After seeing the real world, Mu Bin finally realized everything, but sometimes, people's comprehension ability and even imagination ability are not as good as reality.

Nicaea.

As far as the city is concerned, Nicaea is already the closest city to Junbao, but if you want to talk about the coastline, Nicaea is not the closest.

However, Nicaea is only about a dozen miles away from the sea.

Coastside.

What is it called? Jian Xiao didn't know, he only knew that this was the closest place to Junbao, and the straight-line distance was only a little more than a mile.

A little more than a mile, a distance of about six hundred steps, even without the help of a telescope, Jian Xiao could clearly see that the Junbao on the other side was already in full battle.

This was Jane Xiao's first reaction.

However, in the end, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and Jian Xiao was not too surprised, after all, whoever heard the word Daming now must not tremble.

Waving his hand very calmly, Kun Tashi immediately waved the flag in his hand when he saw it, and a group of soldiers from the Usizangdu Division escorted people forward quickly.

Are these people made of peptide people? Not really.

Nicaea already belongs to the northern half of the Asia Minor Peninsula, and this place has long been taken by the Ming Dynasty, although it has not been cleaned up by the peptide people like Zhu Zhan Yan before, but there is not much left.

After all, when the Suez Canal was excavated, many slaves came from here.

Among the people who are now guarded by the soldiers, there are very few of them, most of them are the most ordinary white pigs, but most of them have a common identity.

Byzantines.

That's right, the Byzantine Empire with the opposite kingfort as its capital.

As those people were pushed into the sea by the five flowers, the Junbao on the opposite side seemed to be agitated, but it was quickly suppressed and calmed down again.

Seeing this, Jane smiled and frowned slightly.

Soon, a fast horse galloped out of the Great Ming Formation and headed towards the southeast.

……

Ankara.

Sitting in the rear, this kind of thing has actually not been done by Zhu Zhanyan for a long time.

All along, although he never personally went into battle to risk arrows and stones, he would also give some of the most important orders in the camp behind the army.

However, this time it is not too high.

This time, although Da Ming was the last main attacker, before the Neapolitan people who were responsible for luring the enemy appeared, Da Ming would not easily cross the Turkish Strait.

But there is one thing, and that is that Ankara Lignesia is not far away.

In just half a day, Jian Xiao's battle report reached here and appeared in Zhu Zhanyan's hands.

Regarding this battle report, Zhu Zhanyan just took a brief look at it and threw it aside, because it didn't have much value in itself.

There is only one thing that Jian Xiao emphasized in the battle report, that is, Junbao's reaction was not quite right, it was too bland, not like a new monarch ascended the throne.

That's right, the Byzantine Empire, perhaps also the Eastern Roman Empire, has the current monarch John VIII, who came to the throne just last year.

"Your Highness, ......" Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping looked at Zhu Zhanyan's movements, and they wanted to speak a little.

If it was usual, the two of them wouldn't speak, but now that Zhu Zhanyan was the only one left by his side, the two of them had an extra task.

Commanding soldiers, that is, the so-called generals, and this is not a special case, the two of them themselves are responsible for commanding Zhu Zhan's guards.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand, but he didn't choose to explain.

In fact, when people think of such a thing as the new monarch's accession to the throne, they think of chaos in the DPRK and China, and the country is in turmoil, but this kind of thing is not absolute.

There is a possibility that the monarch is very capable, so strong that everyone expects it, and no one will oppose him, not even the slightest idea.

But this scenario is almost non-existent, so there is another possibility.

It's possible, but it's not quite right, because this situation is actually widespread in Europe, and it's a different system born of different cultures.

This system is called co-governance.

The so-called co-governance is actually the establishment of a new monarch before the emperor's abdication or even death, and the new monarch and the previous monarch jointly govern the country, to put it bluntly, it is a bit like the emperor and the crown prince in the Central Plains.

But in fact, this kind of co-governance in Europe is a way to give the crown prince a lot of power, which is incomparable to the system of the Central Plains.

Of course, this is only in the superficial sense, but Zhu Zhanyan knows the doorway very well.

These white pigs have always been hypocritical, although they can't escape the domination of desire, but they still have to pretend to be righteous, and this system of co-governance is like this.

In the history of Europe, especially the history of the Byzantine Empire, there were many co-rulers, but as new monarchs, there were very few people who could get the rights that come with co-governance.

John VIII is an exception.

No sooner had John VIII been made a new monarch and self-governing than the Ottoman Empire launched an army against the Byzantine Empire the following year, but the army under John VIII's father, Manuel II, was defeated.

The Byzantine Empire was forced to sign a treaty with the Ottoman Empire and pay indemnities to the Ottoman Empire.

In such a situation, the prestige of Manuel II rapidly declined, and the prestige of John VIII quickly rose.

The year after the defeat, Manuel II died in depression, and John VIII officially ascended the throne and became the sole monarch of the Byzantine Empire.

This is why John VIII, who had only been on the throne for a year, was able to control the entire Byzantine Empire so well.

But when he thought of this, Zhu Zhanyan, who had always had good self-control, couldn't help laughing, which made Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping look sideways.

The main reason is that the current Byzantine Empire really can't afford the word empire, because when John VIII ascended the throne, the Byzantine Empire, which was infinitely beautiful, had decayed to an unbearable extent.

What is unsightly?

Probably the only thing that John VIII was able to actually control was the capital of Junbao, and there were several provinces around, but they were all ruled by his younger brother.

Moreover, these provinces, plus Junbao together, are only as big as Ningbo Mansion in the Ming Dynasty.

So how big is the Ningbo Mansion in the Ming Dynasty? It is as big as Ningbo, Cixi, Fenghua and Zhenhai in later generations.
