Chapter 443: Third, Seventh, Sixteenth, and Twenty-Two
"This is the new Great Khan of the Golden Horde?"
After the two armies converged, Zhu Sanfeng looked at Chen Mao who was a little proud, and asked.
"So, you didn't attack at the scheduled time, but you actually went to capture him?"
"Hui Zhu General, exactly." Chen Mao nodded, and then followed Zhu Sanfeng's gaze and also looked at Bo Ra Khan.
"I wish the general a ...... What should I do with this person? ”
Zhu Sanfeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Chen Mao.
"Sneer......"
Let out a laugh that couldn't help laughing, Zhu Sanfeng turned around and left, Chen Mao was stunned for a moment, but he still followed quickly.
"I know what you think, it's nothing more than to send this person to His Royal Highness."
Zhu Sanfeng, who knew that Chen Mao had already followed, said as he walked.
"I understand, you are new to the city, you do need to fight to be able to stabilize, this time this Bo Ra Khan fell into your hands, although it was a little luck, because he chose the direction you were stationed in when he fled, but in fact, you should also know that with Maha in front, this credit is actually not that big."
"Both of them are captured khans, compared to the Mahama captured by the Mu family, it is more weighty, after all, he is the khan who has been in charge of the Golden Horde for many years, not Bora Khan, a khan who has only been on the throne for a month."
"However, although I also understand and support you to send this person to Junbao, but this is limited to you or Zheng Heng, if it were me, it is estimated that this person will be executed on the spot, saving a waste of time and energy."
After speaking, he didn't care about Chen Mao, who was stunned in place, and wished Sanfeng to leave.
At first glance, Zhu Sanfeng's words were more or less a bit of a suppression of Chen Mao, after all, Chen Mao's prisoner was the current incumbent khan of the Golden Horde, and it was difficult for people not to misunderstand what she said.
But in fact, after listening to Zhu Sanfeng's words, although Chen Mao was a little dissatisfied and unwilling, he also agreed with Zhu Sanfeng's statement.
A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.
This Borakhan was completely improvised by the Golden Horde when the country had no monarch, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and restore the confidence of the people as much as possible, so that they would have a better chance of winning in the face of the Ming army's attack.
But for the Ming army, the capture of Bora Khan had no other effect than to give the Golden Horde another heavy ear scraper, and this Bora Khan was not as useful as the previously captured Mahama.
Thinking of this, Chen Mao couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Someone ...... coming"
Chen Mao, who was in frustration, slowly beckoned and summoned a guard over.
"Take that Borakhan to dispose of it, and just give the head to His Royal Highness, so you don't have to take it with you."
"Yes!"
Chen Mao's personal guard, who was also Zhu Zhan's son's bodyguard, looked up at Chen Mao in surprise after hearing Chen Mao's words, and then took the order to leave.
I have to say that Chen Mao can make this decision, he can be regarded as a little decisive, at least he is not pedantic, nor is he a person who chases fame and fortune.
Watching the guards leave, Chen Mao sighed deeply and looked up at the sky.
In the battle of Sarai, it seems that he is the biggest hero, but because the value of Bora Khan will be greatly reduced, he actually does not have much credit.
Everything depends on the war launched against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania after the rendezvous with Jian Xiaojun.
If he and Zheng Heng can't get enough credit to gain a foothold in this battle, then it is a question of whether they can stand up in the future under the control of the Da Ming under the control of King Wu.
At worst, you have to show your determination......
……
Rome.
After making sure that the reinforcements from Uszangdu had arrived in Venice, Zhu Zhan Yan left the castle again and came to Rome.
As it turned out, his vision was still good.
During the time he left Rome, he only used 50,000 men to block the passes of the eastern Alps and the Velebit mountains, and he managed to hold Rome.
With the fall of the Duchy of Venice, the only maritime power in the Mediterranean region was the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Castile, and the Kingdom of Grapevines, and the first two of the three were temporary allies of the Ming army, and the last one was stuck outside the Strait of Gibraltar and could not enter the Mediterranean.
Under these circumstances, the only pass between the Alps and Mount Velebit became the only way for the Holy Roman Empire to regain Rome.
However, after arriving in Rome, Zhu Zhan immediately issued an order, that is, to let the newly arrived Uszangdu soldiers not cross the Velebit Mountain for the time being, and stay in Venice for the time being.
This war against the Holy Roman Empire, and at the same time for Qian Yong to find the field, in the eastern Eastern European battlefield, the Ming army has already achieved a decisive victory, but in the Central European theater has not yet achieved any results.
Zhu Zhanyan was a little unwilling.
Of course, this is mainly because he is not in a hurry.
What he is using now is actually the desire to capture the past in the thirty-six schemes, and he wants to make the Holy Roman Empire feel that Rome is no longer under the control of the Ming army by transferring troops, so as to let the Holy Roman Empire enter this pocket.
This is the sixteenth of the thirty-six schemes.
Zhu Zhanyan knew very well how important Rome was to Europe, and it was impossible for Europe under Catholic rule to give up Rome, if he didn't act when he saw that he had the opportunity, Sigismund would be scolded even if he was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
At that time, the Holy Roman Empire, which had no sea power, could only enter Venice through the pass of Mount Velebit, and at this time, it was only necessary to seal this pass to complete the final arrangement of Zhu Zhan's gully.
The twenty-second of the thirty-six plans: close the door and catch the thief.
Anyway, he is not afraid of consumption, no matter how much he consumes, the Holy Roman Empire will suffer, and Zhu Zhanyan is naturally not in a hurry.
He knew that it was impossible for Sigismund not to do anything to Rome, even if Sigismund realized that there was fraud in this and resisted the abuse of the entire Central Europe and chose not to do it, then Zhu Zhanyan was not afraid.
When the Eastern European battlefield ended, the Holy Roman Empire, even if it was the most powerful united state in Europe, was only a turtle in Zhu Zhan's urn.
What Zhu Zhan Yan relied on was that the enemy had no sea power and could not detect the movement of troops and horses on his side.
Now what Zhu Zhanyan has to do is to wait.
"How's going on in the Kingdom of Aragon?"
After reading all the battle reports in front of him, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at Zhu Ling beside him.
"Your Royal Highness, the Kingdom of Aragon has already sent troops to the border of the Grapevine Bud Kingdom together with the Castilian Kingdom in accordance with the original agreement, putting pressure on the Grapevine Bud Kingdom, so that it has no time to take care of the affairs of the Strait of Gibraltar."
"Then, the Kingdom of Aragon sent 100,000 troops to aid the Kingdom of France, and by the time we got the news, this batch of reinforcements had already been on the road for more than ten days."
"Oh?" Zhu Zhanyan's eyes lit up instantly.
"Is the news true?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the Return, I can't be sure." Zhu Ling lowered his head, and his voice was much lower.
"You have not sent any personnel to the Kingdom of Aragon, so our main source of information about the Kingdom of Aragon is the trade team."
Zhu Zhanyan frowned when he heard this.
Indeed, because of the alliance and the fact that Western Europe is not easy to penetrate for the time being, Zhu Zhanyan basically did not let people explore the intelligence of Western Europe except for letting people explore some situations through normal trade.
As far as Zhu Zhan Yan is concerned, Wang Jinghong is the main leader in the intelligence investigation of Western Europe, but because the distance is too far, it will take more than a month to transmit the news once, and the speed is too slow.
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and said to Zhu Ling, "You go and bring Joan of Arc." ”
"Yes!" Zhu Ling retreated.
Joan of Arc, Zhu Zhan Yan did not force her or anything like that, on the contrary, he brought Joan of Arc over after breaking through Rome and placed her in a corner of the monastery.
Like Agnès, the mistress of the King of France before, Zhu Zhanyan treated it as a toy and a tool to vent his emotions, but for Joan of Arc, he really had arrangements.
Because of Zhu Zhan's interference, although Joan of Arc has some prestige in the army of the Kingdom of France, it is not high, and there are many voices against her.
The reason for this is that Joan of Arc's marching and fighting methods are different from the traditional way of the Kingdom of France, and she knows very well that the Kingdom of France has no way out, so she is generally used to attacking the enemy with a thunderous force, regardless of logistical supplies.
That is, Joan of Arc is good at fighting against the water, using this command method with no way out to make the soldiers desperate.
After all, there is no way out, if you don't do your best, I won't do my best, and the final result is very likely to be defeat, and the captives after the defeat usually don't end well.
As the saying goes, the mourning army will win, and such an army can exert more than 100 percent of its strength.
At the same time, this is also the reason why Joan of Arc has led her army to win several battles, but her reputation is not very high, and there are many people who oppose her.
"His Royal Highness, Jeanne d'Arc brings."
Just when Zhu Zhan was thinking wildly, Zhu Ling's voice sounded from outside.
Zhu Zhanyan glanced at Zhu Ping beside him, and Zhu Ping quickly walked over to open the door.
Joan of Arc, who was half-pushed and half-pushed, had no expression on his face, and didn't even have a little blood, was brought in, along with an interpreter.
"How?" Zhu Zhanyan smiled and leaned back in his chair.
"How does it feel for you, who have received the Lord's revelation, to live in a Roman monastery?"
As the translator relayed Zhu Zhan's words to Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc's expressionless and bloodless face quickly flushed, and his expression became angry.
For a devout Catholic, it is the greatest humiliation to face a ruined Rome and to be under the control of the culprit.
What's more, Zhu Zhanyan also said the words "get the revelation of the Lord", which was tantamount to a slap in the face of Joan of Arc.
"It's useless to be angry with me, you should know who caused the current situation in the Kingdom of France."
Zhu Zhanyan watched with a smile on his face as the interpreter relayed his words to Joan of Arc, and then looked at Joan of Arc with a smile on his face, shouting with shortness of breath.
raised his hand to stop the translator's behavior of wanting to translate, Zhu Zhanyan didn't have to think about it to know that what Joan of Arc said was not a good thing.
"Actually, you should know that the Kingdom of Aragon is powerful, and Yolanda could have sent troops into the English Channel to stop the English from moving south, as I did, or she could have sent troops to support his son-in-law Charles VII, but she didn't."
"You should know what Yolanda did before, and you should be able to see that Yolanda has ulterior motives, so he has been dragging on not giving support to the Kingdom of France."
"What she wants is to preserve her strength as much as possible, and after I send someone to block the English Channel and drive out the English, she will drive me away with the best strength and swallow the Kingdom of France alone."
"Don't you have any ideas about such people?"
Zhu Zhanyan was still smiling as he watched the interpreter relay his words to Joan of Arc, and he was still smiling at the change in the expression on Joan of Arc's face.
Joan of Arc was silent.
She knew very well that Zhu Zhanyan's purpose in saying this was to use herself as a gunman, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to convince himself.
But she also knows that everything Zhu Zhanyan said is true, at least there is evidence.
Because what Yolanda has been doing all along proves that she is deliberately delaying aid to the Kingdom of France.
"How? I can give you 10,000 men to enter the kingdom of Aragon with the caravan, and as far as you go, that's your business. ”
Looking at Joan of Arc, who had been shaken, Zhu Zhanyan threw down the final bargaining chip.
Joan of Arc still lowered her head and was still silent, and Zhu Zhanyan was not in a hurry, let alone urging, but just looked at her with a smile on her face.
I don't know how long it took, but Joan of Arc slowly raised her head, the flush on her face that had been shown by anger had subsided, and her angry expression had changed to determination.
didn't have to listen to what she had to say, Zhu Zhanyan knew what she wanted to say.
For Joan of Arc now, it is impossible to take revenge on Zhu Zhan Yan, she has no chance, but in contrast, she can take revenge on Yolanda with the help of Zhu Zhan Yan.
Even if Zhu Zhan Yan brought humiliation to the Kingdom of France, it was far greater than that brought to Yolanda.
However, she didn't have a choice, did she?
If she agrees, she can at least get half of her revenge, and if she doesn't, then she won't even have half of it.
Zhu Zhanyan straightened up with a smile and wrote down an appointment with a pen.
At this point, the third and seventh plans of the 36 plans have also been arranged.
first made something out of nothing, and then borrowed a knife to kill.
