It is not a good thing for any army to disobey a command, or even to disobey the orders of the supreme general.

However, as the saying goes, the anode must be yin, and the yin and yang sides of everything are balanced, and once it is unbalanced, it is very likely to lead to the exact opposite.

There is a difference between people and people, and this difference is still very big, sometimes the difference between people and people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.

Among the soldiers brought by Zhu Zhanyan, there were actually three groups of people, and the first batch was undoubtedly Zhu Zhanyan's son's guard.

At that time, Emperor Taizong approved the establishment of three guard stations for him, not to mention that this is already a very high regulation among the vassal kings who have been cut again and again, just say that he got the establishment of the guard as the son of the world, and he is the only one in the position of the entire Ming Dynasty so far.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan attaches great importance to the guards of his three guards, and the people who can enter here have all been screened layer by layer.

From personal ability to family background to the three generations of ancestors, it is all within the scope of the audit to ensure that everyone is loyal to Zhu Zhanyan, and in addition to the review, there will be two audits a year when there is no war, and once if there is a war.

The second group of people are the soldiers of the Uszangdu Division.

Since Zhu Zhan's southern expedition to the Indochina Peninsula, these soldiers of the Usizang Capital Division have been following him.

In fact, at the beginning, these people can be said to have been traded, Wusi Zangdu Division was for the grain of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Zhanyan was for the source of soldiers.

Later, the Ming Dynasty, or the line of King Wu, provided assistance to the Wusi Zangdu Division as usual every year, and even increased year by year.

Although it is not a lot, an increase is an increase, and this is not counting the rewards of those soldiers of the Uszangdu Division after their military exploits.

Because of this, these soldiers have been following Zhu Zhanyan almost all the year round, but the scale has changed from more than 70,000 to more than 160,000, and they are divided into two batches, which are rotated once a year.

The last batch is the group of Ah San.

In fact, Zhu Zhanyan originally went to find these Ah San with the idea of finding some cannon fodder, but unexpectedly, even if he was born with discrimination against Ah San, Zhu Zhan Yan had to admit that these Ah San could really fight.

People, in fact, are very different, as long as you use the right method, a coward will become a reckless man.

Money, food and beauties, these are the favorites of the Ah San, and Zhu Zhan Yan is famous for his generosity, and after every war, neither rewards nor spoils will be disadvantaged to the soldiers.

But it is precisely because of this that when these Ah San openly disobeyed military orders, Zhu Zhanyan was also able to dispose of them without any waves.

He liberated them who were oppressed by the high castes under the caste system, and gave them food and money, so they worked hard for themselves.

Later, he was even more matter-of-fact, and except for the food and money he gave them at the beginning, he did not skimp or withhold all the necessities and rewards related to the war.

is still the same sentence: He is the best at raising dogs, and in Zhu Zhanyan's opinion, raising Ah San is much simpler than raising dogs.

Royal Palace.

Zhu Zhanyan was lying on the bed that only King John VIII could lie on before, and he stretched his waist very comfortably.

I have to say that these white pigs are really going to enjoy.

In fact, compared with the East and the West, those aristocrats in the West will enjoy it more, because the East is greatly influenced by Confucianism, and some emperors who are greedy for pleasure will not be particularly excessive.

A posthumous name, a history like iron, is enough to bluff many people.

But the West doesn't care about that, because in their eyes it's what they call freedom.

Getting up from the bed, Zhu Zhanyan got dressed and walked out of the room under the service of the maids who had been serving John VIII.

Zhu Zhan went out with his front foot, and Zhu Sanfeng walked in with someone on his back foot and took away the women on the bed.

Here, Zhu Zhanyan's clothing, food, housing and transportation have very strict standards, even far exceeding the original standards of the royal family.

In terms of eating, the cooks were all brought when they went on the expedition, and when they were in the Central Plains and Xiangzhou Mansion, although Zhu Zhanyan had someone to test the poison before eating, it was only once, but here he had to go through three poison tests before he could finally serve it in front of Zhu Zhanyan.

The reasons are self-evident.

After all, there is probably no one in the whole of Europe who does not want Zhu Zhanqi to die violently.

Not to mention what he wears, Zhu Zhanyan is not used to wearing European clothes in this era, they are all brought from home, mainly because they are a little special in this aspect.

It is said to be a residence, but it is not actually a residence, or it should be said that it is not just a residence.

Zhu Zhanyan is an adult man in the end, there will definitely be a demand, and he has been filial piety for the old man for 27 months, basically in strict accordance with the rules of filial piety.

Now that he has been out of filial piety for more than half a year, he will naturally not continue to be an ascetic like before.

It's not that he doesn't respect the old man, but the dead are gone, and the living have to move on.

Zhu Zhanyan is still relatively restrained in this regard, after all, he doesn't want to die early, and this matter is also a more troublesome matter here.

Here, all the things that can be sent to Zhu Zhan's bed have not been opened, this is not because they are poor, but because Zhu Zhan has repeatedly asked for this.

Europe, too dirty, too messy.

This can be seen from the red ribbon (everyone knows what the disease is).

Red ribbon disease is transmitted in limited modes, mainly blood-borne, mother-to-child and sexually.

Zhu Zhanyan didn't know much about this disease, he just knew that this disease was first discovered in orangutans, so this matter was more interesting.

The disease in the orangutan, it is impossible to transmit it from mother to child, and it is almost impossible to transmit it by blood, so there is only one way of transmission.

Zhu Zhanyan is very afraid of death, and he doesn't want all his descendants to get this disease, not to mention that in Europe now, the danger is far more than this disease.

"How's the Crusader armor collected?"

After leaving the room and washing up, Zhu Zhanyan began to eat breakfast, and asked Zhu Ling beside him while eating.

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, at present, about one-third of it can be collected, although it has not stopped, but the two generals, Jian Xiao and Qian Yong, both think that there may not be much need to continue."

"Hmm......" Zhu Zhanyan nodded thoughtfully.

The breakthrough of Junbao is very easy, after all, no matter how strong the fortress is, as long as an opening is opened, it will be a matter of time before it is broken.

But in comparison, the Crusaders were in trouble.

It's not that the crusaders were so fierce that the Ming soldiers were difficult to deal with, in fact, those crusaders may not be as brave as the people in the castle.

Knowing that victory was hopeless, the people of the castle still had the determination to fight to the death, but the crusaders who had been corrupted by desire did not have that determination.

Even if they knew that the chance of escaping was less than one percent, they still did not give up, they had short crossbows and artillery such long-range attack methods, plus it was on the sea, it was really not easy for the Ming army to capture them alive.

In the end, it was Zhu Zhan who made the decision and used white phosphorous eggs, which solved the group of crusaders in one fell swoop, but at the cost of no loot.

After winning, Zhu Zhanyan immediately asked Jian Xiao to take people to salvage, not to salvage money, grain and grass and other loot, because those things were useless to salvage, and they were all burned with white phosphor.

What Zhu Zhan Yan wanted was the armor of the Crusaders.

In this era, Europe was dominated by the upper classes controlling the faith, and then controlling the people below through the faith.

And now?

Beside the gates of the castle in all four directions, there were hanging pairs of Crusader armor that represented the so-called glory.

Attacking the city, conquering the land, killing people, and looting, these are not Zhu Zhanqi's real goals, his real purpose is to kill people, and he has to punish his heart.

Only by starting from the point of view, that is, from the roots, can Europe be completely defeated and the wings of the West can be broken.

After all, in the context of the times and the development of human history, faith is often wrapped in ignorance and superstition.

Needless to say, the East is well known to be represented by the dark Middle Ages.

But in Zhu Zhan's view, faith is a good thing, if it is used well, he can make the whole of Europe the soil for the Ming Dynasty, and let these white pigs be like fanatical believers in the Holy See, money, land, food, and women...... Even the life is consecrated.

Now Zhu Zhanyan already thinks that killing people is meaningless, isn't this much more interesting than killing people?

For Zhu Zhanqi, this is a long-term plan, and it cannot be completed overnight.

But it's okay, he still has time, and he hasn't talked about this plan to anyone, so it's just an idea at the moment.

For Zhu Zhanyan, this kind of thing is actually not an expansion of territory, nor does it belong to liquidation, it can only be classified as his personal bad taste, and it is a cat's teasing behavior after catching a mouse.

But cats have a characteristic, that is, they play for fun, but they will not let their prey escape.

Zhu Zhanyan is the same.

If you can play, then play, but if you can't play, or if things are about to get out of control, then it's better to use the simplest and most efficient method.

It's just that I don't know how those European rulers will feel and what kind of actions they will take after knowing Zhu Zhanyan's thoughts.

However, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't think they can stir up any waves, and this problem can be seen from now.

After watching the Crusaders sent by the Holy See and the Eastern Roman Empire end up like this, there was no movement in the countries of Europe.

For Europe today, resources have been almost distributed, which is one of the main reasons for the Age of Discovery.

For Daming......

They never thought that Zhu Zhan could do what Genghis Khan could not do, and in their opinion, there were only two and a half of the whip of God: Attila, Temujin, and Timur, who was half destroyed.

Neither the rulers nor the Holy See believed that Zhu Zhan would be the new whip of God.
