It has been several months since Alipu turned his head to Zhu Zhanyan.

This kind of thing is not a glorious thing, and the person concerned will definitely try his best to hide it, but as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in this world.

No matter what happens, as long as it is done, it is impossible to hide it, the difference is only the time of exposure.

Alip's long non-return, coupled with the fact that he had entered the Don River with the Ming army on the eastern side of the Golden Horde, made it impossible to hide it.

As a neighbor and an enemy, the Golden Horde wished that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate would have known the news earlier.

Speaking closer, telling the news to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate can ensure their own safety, at least there will not be an Eastern Chagatai Khanate behind them when they are attacked by the Ming army.

In the long run, it is difficult to predict how the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will react to this news, but the possibility of alliance with the Golden Horde cannot be ruled out.

After all, the Ming army is a digging...... Well, it's not really, it's Alipu who turned to the enemy camp openly, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate may be able to endure the strength of the Ming army, but there is also the possibility of making a completely opposite decision.

However, the Golden Horde also knew that this idea was a little too rosy.

For so long, the Golden Horde has been working with the mud, with the Ming and the mud, with the Warat and the mud, and with everyone and the mud, but they don't want to openly stand on the opposite side of the Ming.

Cause...... Everyone knows that face to face with the giant beast of Da Ming is either dead or disabled.

Therefore, even now, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is still making peace with the mud, and he provides help to Warat, but he just doesn't come forward, so that Warat and Daming can be tough.

Because everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty will march north at the beginning of spring, and it is also the emperor's personal expedition.

It's a dead knot that can't be untied.

In such a situation, the underground Warat completely disrupted the plan they expected at the beginning to bow their heads and admit that they could preserve the slow development, and they could only choose to fight.

In this case, Warat had already sent for help from all those who could help them, but only the Eastern Chagatai Khanate had given them help.

This help is not on the surface, it is just to give them weapons and baggage and food in the background, as for the people......

Not a single one!

However, the man who stirred up the storm was still thousands of miles away in Constantinople at this time.

……

"Do you have a long memory?"

Looking at Mu Bin kneeling below, Zhu Zhanyan spoke in a calm tone.

The difference is that some people will soon wake up and pay a relatively small price, while others need a painful price to make them sober.

Mu Bin is not the former, but it is not the latter.

The young and frivolous Mu Bin, with the help of the Kingdom of Aragon, bypassed Sicily and attacked Rome, the important place of the Holy See, and even entered the Tiber River for a time.

But, again, don't take anyone for a fool, if you do, you'll find out that you're actually the biggest fool.

Although he bypassed Sicily, Mu Bin ignored the gap in reality.

The fleet he led was only about 30 ships, and he deliberately did not bring any of the treasure ships that had become the symbol of the Ming Dynasty in this era, but only took more than 30 small ships to kill Rome.

However, he forgot that not all countries have the shipbuilding capacity of the Great Ming.

Mu Bin thought that as long as he brought a small boat and didn't raise Zhu Zhan's handsome flag, he could dress up as a ship of the Kingdom of Aragon and mix it up.

However, how many ships were there when the Holy See and Sicilian forces first attacked the castle? And he brought thirty of them!

In addition, Mu Bin also committed another big taboo.

Before sending troops, he did not study the details of the enemy.

Most of the things that Zhu Zhanyan knew over there would not be hidden, at least Mu Sheng's branch was not guarded against, so Mu Bin knew a lot of things around the Mediterranean.

He knew the relationship between the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire, and he also knew what the Holy Roman Empire's emperor was all about, what the pope was all about, and which country was strong on land and which was strong at sea.

But here's the catch.

What Mu Bin knows is not all.

For example, before this, the Ming army had not encountered the Principality of Gena, so Zhu Zhanyan did not mention the matter of the Principality of Gena, and Mu Bin did not know.

The maritime power of the Duchy of Venice was at the forefront of the Mediterranean at this time, but it was the Duchy of Genoa that they drove others down, and it was the Duchy of Genoa that was driven down.

The Duchy of Gena, on the west side of the Papal State.

However, as the so-called success is also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, this time Mu Bin is the Kingdom of Cheng and Aragon, and the defeat is also the Kingdom of Aragon.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Kingdom of Aragon, he wouldn't have come up with the idea of raiding Rome, but if it weren't for the appearance of the Kingdom of Aragon, he wouldn't have sent someone to Zhu Zhan to send a secret letter to the Kingdom of Aragon before sending troops.

It was precisely because of this move that Zhu Zhanyan knew Mu Bin's approach in advance, and he also saved Mu Bin's life.

The surprise attack failed, and twelve of the thirty ships sank in the Mediterranean Sea under the surprise attack of the Duchy of Genoa, which hit Mu Bin hard.

Even in the face of those soldiers who went out with him, Mu Bin couldn't raise his head, let alone facing Zhu Zhanyan at this time.

You must know that if it weren't for Zhu Zhanyan's trust, if it weren't for Zhu Zhanyan asking his father Mu Sheng to open a small stove for him, if it wasn't for Zhu Zhanyan's laissez-faire......

Not to mention a raid on Rome, he didn't even have the qualifications to lead troops.

"Speak!"

Seeing his son shrinking his head like a king, Mu Sheng kicked angrily.

"Eh, eh, eh, ......" Zhu Zhanyan hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Mu Sheng.

"Educate my son to go home and educate again, I am not a place to talk about family matters, I asked him to come over to make him responsible for this wrong decision."

"Yes......" Mu Sheng sighed deeply and bowed to the side.

In fact, sometimes, beating you is also for your own good, and now Mu Sheng vividly interprets this sentence.

To put it bluntly, this is a bitter ploy, wanting to make Zhu Zhanyan lower his punishment by showing Mu Bin's pity.

The Mu family can be regarded as a family of military generals, after all, since Mu Ying, the king of Qianning, everyone has basically gone to the battlefield and everyone has military merits.

Mu Bin's recklessness this time is really likely to bury his future path.

"Look up." Zhu Zhanyan knocked lightly on the table.

Mu Bin's body trembled when he heard the sound, obviously a little timid, but finally slowly raised his head.

"You can solve the problem of the bereavement of the fallen soldiers by yourself this time, as for how to explain this to the soldiers, you think for yourself."

"In addition to that, go and get a hundred sticks."

"His Royal Highness Xie Shizi ......"

Mu Bin trembled and kowtowed to the ground.

Is Zhu Zhanyan's punishment heavy? It's not heavy.

If you disobey the military order and attack privately, it is easy to say if you win, but if you lose, you must bear all the responsibility.

Twelve ships and more than 20,000 soldiers died in the Mediterranean, and a failure of this level would not be too much to say that it would cut off his future, even if it was to cut him.

But if it's not serious, it's not.

Generally speaking, twenty sticks are enough to make a strong man dare not go to the ground for three days, fifty sticks can make this man stay in bed for a month, and a hundred sticks......

Normally, a hundred military sticks is no different from directly giving death, because even a strong person cannot carry a hundred military sticks.

Just like Mu Bin, let alone a hundred military sticks, eighty military sticks are enough to kill him, and it is more than enough!

However, in the end, he is a descendant of King Qianning, a member of the Mu family, and the son of Mu Sheng, whom Zhu Zhanyan currently reuses.

A hundred military sticks could not kill him, and the soldiers who executed him did not dare to take his life.

"Alright, go down and get the punishment." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand, a little impatient.

"His Royal Highness Xie Shizi ......" Mu Sheng bowed down to thank him, and then dragged his son away.

Looking at the back of the Mu family's father and son leaving, Zhu Zhanyan sighed softly.

Mu Bin's recklessness is actually good and bad.

It seems that Mu Bin's recklessness this time made the Ming army pay a huge price, and the loss of twelve ships and 20,000 people is not small, but in fact it is okay.

The twelve ships are nothing, they are all small boats, although it takes a lot of money to build them, but for the current Zhu Zhanyan, it is not to the point of heartache.

As for the 20,000 soldiers, there is nothing to do, most of those people are Ah San, and there are only a few soldiers from the Usizangdu Division.

As for the prince guard...... Don't think about it, Mu Bin doesn't have the right to mobilize the prince's guards.

Ah San, Zhu Zhan Yan was not distressed, and he had long wanted to find a chance to deal with these Ah San, so for Zhu Zhan Yan, although there were still some guards from the Uszang Du Division, this result was still acceptable.

However, Zhu Zhanyan is more concerned about Mu Bin, and he has high hopes for Mu Bin, hoping that he can become one of the pillars of the generals.

As for whether Mu Bin can cross this hurdle, it depends on him, and others can't help.

Putting down the whole thing, the worst news for Zhu Zhanyan may be the impact of this incident on the Holy See.

Previously, the Ming army was almost unstoppable in its advance, except for the 50,000 people who were encircled and suppressed in the guerrilla attack, this time the Ming army suffered a defeat for the second time.

What's more, the war took place at Christmas.

Therefore, this so-called victory will definitely bring an unimaginable incentive to the European white pigs, and will greatly stimulate their potential.

But it's not all bad.

There is a good saying: show the enemy to be weak.

At the cost of a small amount of acceptable part, in exchange for the enemy's contempt for himself, it was a wrong assessment of his own combat effectiveness, and Zhu Zhanyan felt that this was also a good thing.

But in comparison, he felt that he might have to do something else.

At the very least, Europe at the moment...... It seems like there's nothing to do.
