These upper-class nobles were chopped down and knocked to the ground, which naturally allowed the middle- and lower-class citizens to gain many benefits.

In less than ten days, Wang Baobao took complete control of the entire situation in Constantinople.

at the same time.

The Catholic coalition forces that retreated to the rear finally waited for their reinforcements.

The Northern Route Army, composed of the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, finally arrived belatedly.

After the two armies joined together, their strength reached a terrifying one hundred thousand.

Among them were more than 20,000 Holy Roman Empire troops and 15,000 Hungarian cavalry.

They are the absolute main force of the coalition forces.

At this time, the Catholic coalition forces had also received information that the Mongols who entered Constantinople had less than 40,000 troops.

One hundred thousand people versus forty thousand people.

In any case, Catholicism has an absolute advantage.

"In the name of God, kill those heretics and barbarians in Constantinople!"

Count Frick of the Holy Roman Empire, as commander of the coalition forces, issued the order to advance to Constantinople.

A war to determine the status of the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church is about to begin.

…

Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion.

In Zhu Han's palace, a large group of court officials stood in the hall.

Although Zhu Han was no longer willing to get involved in the internal affairs management of the imperial court.

But when his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang encountered some difficult problems, he would directly ask officials to come to the palace to consult Zhu Han.

"Your Highness, now the imperial court has increased the expenditure on compulsory education in various places, and the Ministry of Revenue does not have enough money!" the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said to Zhu Han.

"If the silver is not enough, then order the Japanese country to produce more silver. Anyway, the scale of the silver mines there can continue to expand!" Zhu Han said lazily.

However, this proposal was immediately questioned by the Minister of Industry.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not possible to expand the silver mines in the Japanese country. The Japanese people there are suffering from a bionic plague. I heard that many people have died and there are no workers at all!" Li Yan, Minister of Industry, said.

"The plague should be over soon. If it's not over yet, then send people to Nanyang to capture more slaves and let them dig silver mines!" Zhu Han said nonchalantly.

Ming Dynasty's rule over the Japanese archipelago has been put on the right track according to Zhu Han's suggestions.

The real goal of Ming Dynasty's rule was to remove people and leave land.

In layman's terms, it means to eliminate all the Japanese people in the traditional sense, leaving only the land.

For Japanese men, those who could fight as soldiers were recruited to join the Ming army and go to Nanyang and other places to fight through life and death.

If you are an honest farmer from Badajiao, then recruit them into the silver mines of the Ming Dynasty as workers. Anyway, they will be well-paid and have three meals a day. However, the population is too dense and prone to plague and accidents, which will consume a large number of people.

of the Japanese population.

As for the women of the Japanese country, they used the strong financial resources of the Ming Dynasty to make them willing to sacrifice their lives for the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, there are tens of thousands of foreign women in Yingtian Mansion now engaged in the business of slaves and brothels.

Therefore, Zhu Han did not care about the number of Japanese casualties.

"Your Highness, Ming Dynasty's merchant ships have been attacked by pirates in the southern waters of Tianzhu. We have reported it three times this month alone!"

Another official reported to Zhu Hanhan.

"These pirates in Tianzhu are really looking for death. It seems that we need to organize an operation to eliminate pirates!" Zhu Han said coldly.

The forces in various parts of the Tianzhu continent are divided, especially in the southern region, where there are at least hundreds of states going their own way.

When the Ming Dynasty did trade with them, it would often involve them in conflicts and wars.

These small countries in Tianzhu are all arrogant and arrogant.

Seeing that Ming merchants were very wealthy, they repeatedly engaged in extortion and even used force to engage in piracy and plunder.

Now that the East India Company established by the Ming Dynasty in Tianzhu has temporarily established a firm foothold, it is time to teach these Asan a lesson.

1371 AD.

February, the eighth year of Hongwu reign in the Ming Dynasty.

A fleet set off from Quanzhou and headed south of the sea.

This is the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Fleet formed by Zhu Han. Its main mission is to attack those feudal states in the southern part of the Tianzhu continent that support pirates.

The entire fleet consists of ten double-deck gun battleships, five Ming Galen ships, ten mixed-sail clipper ships, and five Hongwu-type armed merchant ships.

There are a total of thirty ships, all of which are the latest models of Ming Dynasty's ocean-going warships.

Now the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty have a mature trade route.

The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty first set off from ports such as Quanzhou, Mingzhou or Guangzhou, carrying special products of the Ming Dynasty, mainly pig iron pots, tea, sugar, rhubarb, porcelain, medicines, etc.

In the second step, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty will first arrive in Nanyang, replenish supplies in Nanyang, and sell some of the goods. The most popular goods in Nanyang are mainly pig iron pots and medicines.

Among them, an iron pot that costs three cents of silver can be sold to the Nanyang natives for three taels of silver. Of course, most of the Nanyang natives will exchange it for spices, ivory and other items.

As for medicines, they were also the most popular products in Nanyang during the Ming Dynasty. Zhuge Xingjun Powder, Baiyao, Rendan, and various home-made oxytetracycline developed by Zhu Han's people were all highly praised miraculous elixirs in Nanyang.

In particular, the native oxytetracycline obtained by Zhu Han's signature has become a miracle drug that is hard to find.

A small pill of oxytetracycline can be exchanged for a South Sea pearl.
