Wang Baobao led the Mongolian and Yuan troops, and this time they did not burn, kill, and loot.
He originally wanted to manage the Hezhong area well and turn it into a backup base for his future retreat.
If all the people in the river area are killed, there will be no one to grow food for grazing in the future, and there will be no way to collect taxes, and there will be no way to support the court and army.
Wang Baobao's consideration for the future led him to adopt the most benevolent policy possible during this military conquest.
but.
With the news that the Golden Horde army was approaching, Wang Baobao suffered the consequences of his kindness this time.
Among the Tianfang believers in the Hezhong area, rebellions broke out one after another, spreading like wildfire across all regions.
These Tianfang believers all felt that they would soon receive support from the Golden Horde, and they refused to carry out Wang Baobao's orders to collect grain, grass, money and horses.
The Oara tribe army headed by Hao Hai was naturally not merciful. The Mongolian and Yuan armies gradually lost control of their military discipline and began to burn, kill and loot without restraint.
Wang Baobao has also understood that these Tianfang believers in the Hezhong area are simply unfed wild wolves, and his benevolent policies will only make them feel weak and can be bullied.
Even though many Tianfang believers are of Mongolian origin like Meng Yuan, after being brainwashed by the Tianfang sect, they all turned into idiots who are educated but without distinction.
Wang Baobao knew that if he wanted to hold on to his territory in the Hezhong area, it was completely impossible to resist the Golden Horde.
So he also began to order that his troops would no longer be restrained. Any town that refused to pay taxes and food would be burned, killed and robbed.
Suddenly, the entire Hezhong area was ablaze with flames of war.
Many of the originally prosperous and prosperous cities were completely destroyed.
A large number of local people fled in all directions after witnessing the brutality of the Mongols.
After almost looting and destroying the Hedong area, Wang Baobao led his army back eastward with a solemn expression.
Although he did not achieve his goal of conquering the area in the river this time, he finally managed to grab a lot of food, horses and livestock, which allowed his men to have a prosperous winter.
And because the area in the middle of the river was severely damaged by itself, after the Golden Horde army arrived, it would inevitably be unable to obtain sufficient supplies of food and grass from the local area.
Wang Baobao expected that the enemy would not be able to stay in the river area any longer and would not be able to threaten his border at all.
Yunnan.
In a dense bush, countless mosquitoes were disturbed and flew away with a loud bang.
From the woods nearby, a long marching team came out one after another.
Every one of these people, whether they were generals or soldiers, looked exhausted, and their clothes were all torn.
They were the Han army under Chen Youliang.
As the news of the Ming army's occupation of Sichuan was confirmed, soldiers in the Chen and Han armies began to flee in large numbers.
In order to avoid this situation.
Chen Youliang decisively followed Zou Pusheng's suggestion and led the army to move southwest.
The area in Yunnan is not developed enough, and there are heavy Ming troops stationed around it. It is simply impossible to rely on Yunnan to hold on.
Chen Youliang didn't want to be Zhu Yuanzhang's prisoner, so he had no choice but to embark on this vast and unknown road of escape.
It's just that Chen Youliang and others wanted to escape, but many ordinary soldiers were simply unwilling to follow them.
After years of fighting, each of these soldiers was already exhausted, not to mention that most of them had already married and had their own wives, children, and children, and they were all abandoned in Sichuan.
The vast majority of people simply don't want to escape anymore.
Therefore, when Chen Youliang led the army to move in, he did not tell the soldiers his true destination.
but.
There were also some smart people among the soldiers. After marching for a period of time, they found that the direction they were going was getting more and more wild. They immediately realized that something was wrong and began to think of ways to escape.
At night, many people escaped from the camp and fled to hide behind them. In all likelihood, the pursuers sent by Chen Youliang would also escape together.
Under this situation, Chen Youliang could only march for half a day and camp for half a day, sending out his personal guards to defend to the death.
But even so.
When Chen Youliang set out from Kunming, the 100,000-strong army now had less than 50,000 people left.
Fortunately, after a long march, they had arrived at a completely unfamiliar rainforest.
In this wild land, it would be difficult for anyone to survive without the group.
The number of desertions among the army gradually began to decrease.
"Your Majesty, I have killed all the savage tribes in front of me!"
Zou Pusheng, wearing a suit of armor, ran up to Chen Youliang and said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Chen Youliang said with a tired look on his face.
Along the way, they not only had to deal with harsh environments that were difficult to adapt to, but there were also many barbaric tribes in these jungles, who often robbed and killed their lone soldiers.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Youliang sent his men to retaliate against these tribes.
At the same time, you can also obtain some captives from these tribes to serve as guides for you.
After traveling for more than half a month.
The army led by Chen Youliang finally arrived at a wide river.
Look at this boundless river.
After some inquiries, Chen Youliang already knew that once he crossed this river, he would say goodbye to the Yunnan border forever.
"Zhu Chongba, Zhu Qiwu, you two thieves, even if I, Chen Youliang, escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely seek revenge on you in the future!"
After Chen Youliang led his army to cross this river, they actually entered the Bangladesh region.
However, this river often floods throughout the year, and most of the surrounding residents have already moved away.
After Chen Youliang crossed the river, after some inventory, he found that there were only more than 30,000 people left around him.
There was no other way. There were no suitable ships around, so they had to cut down fresh wood to make them. The ship would inevitably have its sails capsize and leaks.
"Thirty thousand people. When I, Chen Youliang, started my business, I only had three hundred people!"
Although Chen Youliang was extremely sad and angry, he was not discouraged.
After excluding some cronies and doing some research.
Chen Youliang also knew that his old enemy Duan Gong was ahead.
However, Duan Gong's men now have strong soldiers and horses, and have conquered many local Tianzhu natives, and there are also strong city fortresses to provide defense. Chen Youliang's current soldiers and horses are exhausted and they dare not go to look for trouble.
Chen Youliang even felt that he had to march to the north quickly to avoid Duan Gong's possible interception.
Only after you find a suitable place to stay, you can first replenish the remaining food and grass, repair the soldiers' physical strength, and then make new plans.
It has to be said that Chen Youliang is still very capable in marching operations.
After he commanded the march, no one in Duan Gong's surrounding sentry fortresses noticed the arrival of Chen Youliang's army.
In fact, the soldiers and horses stationed in these fortresses are basically indigenous Tianzhu people. Their combat effectiveness is low. Even if they see some strange enemies, they don't dare to provoke them easily.
Chen Youliang set the army to go all the way north, and after passing through a muddy swamp, they finally saw a town of decent size.
There were not many soldiers and horses in this town. Chen Youliang only sent 300 cavalry to charge forward and completely control the entire town.
After some inquiries, Chen Youliang knew that this place was located in the northeastern corner of the Tianzhu continent, and that it was ruled by a Tianzhu king called the Assam family.
"Where does this Assamese king live? Hurry up and lead the way!"
Under the fierce persecution of Chen Youliang and others, the local Tianzhu natives led the way and led Chen Youliang's troops towards the Assam Palace.
Assam is a very small state compared to India, with only five thousand soldiers at full strength.
And because of its remote location, Assam has not seen a war in decades.
Assam nominally surrendered to the Delhi Sultanate, but it also sent tributes to Duan Gong who was close to it.
Therefore, the Assam family has always felt that their security is very stable.
But when Chen Youliang led his army to the city, the good days of the Assam family were deemed to have come to an end.
The sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
August.
The hot summer in Yingtianfu has finally come to an end, and if we persist for another ten days and a half, we can enter the cool autumn.
Zhu Han was sitting in the hall of his palace, lazily looking at the mountains of official documents on the table while eating smoothie porridge hand-fed by Zhou Zhiruo next to him.
"Okay, now that you've finished eating, don't work too hard. Go down and have a rest. After all, you're pregnant now."
Zhu Han stretched and then stroked Zhou Zhiruo's slightly bulging belly.
After returning from his voyage to the West, Zhu Han stayed in his palace almost all day, living happily with his several concubines and the Slavic slave girl Hu Tianheidi.
After working hard day and night, almost all of Zhu Han's women were married again.
The ancients believed that having more children means more blessings. Although Zhu Han also thought it was reasonable, it really made him lose a lot of fun.
In the past few days, he had been waiting for news of the arrival of a new batch of Persian merchant ships.
Now Persian merchants have taken over the entire Ming Dynasty’s white slave trade.
The princes, nobles and businessmen of the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money. As long as the quality of the slave girl was good enough, someone would buy it no matter how expensive the price was.
Therefore, after several high-priced acquisitions by the Ming Dynasty, several Tianfang sect countries west of Persia all increased their efforts in the female slave trade.
According to the teachings of Tianfang Sect, one is not allowed to allow his followers to become slaves.
Therefore, the Tianfang Sect country itself does not produce slaves, they are just slave transporters.
It is precisely because of this that the Eastern Roman Empire, Greece, Venice and the Slavs in Europe suffered greater plunder, and tens of thousands of people were robbed by the Tianfang Cult.
Among them, the young and beautiful white female slaves were all resold to the Persians and then eventually transported to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Zhiruo was a little bored even though he was pregnant. After receiving Zhu Han's concern, he resigned with a smile.
"Chen Baodao, is there any news at the port?"
Zhu Han asked towards the door.
Chen Baodao quickly stepped in, "I'm telling you, Your Majesty, I've been watching at the door, and no one has come to deliver the message!"
Zhu Han nodded and said nothing.
It seems that there will be no news of the arrival of any new merchant ships in the past few days.
Zhu Han has been a little bored in the palace in the past few days. The women in the palace are pregnant one by one. They also protect animals and cannot do anything inappropriate for children. As for the maids, they are all dull and dull. Zhu Han
Han's taste has long been high. He is used to eating big fish and meat, and he doesn't want to eat these.
"Come out with me and take a walk!"
Zhu Han said as he walked towards the study room next to him.
Chen Baodao understood Zhu Han's meaning as soon as he heard it and hurriedly followed him.
Zhu Han said he was going out for a walk, but in fact he did not show off his guard of honor, but went out incognito.
Now that my status is too high, no matter where I go, there will be a lot of chaos. Officials of all sizes can't wait to stick to my behind. They want to understand the public sentiment or watch what's going on.
It has simply become a luxury wish.
Zhu Han took Chen Baodao and two of his guards as escorts. They all wore ordinary clothes and looked like a businessman with a butler and two servants.
It's just that the housekeeper and the servants look tough and not easy to mess with.
Zhu Han also gave himself two beards in order to disguise himself more thoroughly.
Now Yingtian City has long become a unique city in the world.
The land within the city could no longer accommodate so many people and shops, and many blocks were built one after another outside the city.
The shops in Yingtian City are relatively expensive due to land rent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If ordinary people want to buy some cheap items, they usually go out of the city to the neighborhoods outside.
What Zhu Han wanted to see was the real life in the city. After wandering around the city for a while, he went directly out of the city.
As soon as we arrived at the neighborhood outside the city, we were greeted by the smoke of fireworks.
The aroma of various fried foods filled the air, and various shouts and cries reached his ears. Coupled with the endless stream of pedestrians, Zhu Han felt that the prosperous market in front of him was the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
basis.
"The common people all have rosy faces. It seems they are really well fed!" Zhu Han said in a low voice.
Recalling that when he first traveled through time and could not eat enough all day long, Zhu Han felt that his stomach was growling with hunger again.
"All this is due to Your Highness and Your Majesty. We defeated the Mongols and fed the common people all over the world!" Chen Baodao said with a low voice next to him with a smile.
"You guys actually know how to flatter me," Zhu Han said with the same smile.
"Your Highness, everything I said is true!"
"Okay, what should I tell you when we come out?" Zhu Han scolded.
"Oh, yes, yes, my boss taught me a lesson!" Chen Baodao still had a playful smile.
After following Zhu Han for so long, the originally straightforward and rough man became a little slippery.
However, Zhu Han felt that this was not his fault. The main reason was that Hu Yiba had led Chen Baodao astray.
Speaking of Hu Yiba, as Zhu Han's closest subordinate, although he did not make much credit, he still worked hard. Zhu Han rewarded him with a lot of money. This guy also has some business acumen.
I have purchased a lot of property in Suzhou and other places, and I have taken leave these days to return to my hometown to pay homage to my ancestors and build their tombs.
"Take a look, take a look, alas, the white slaves from the Western Regions are dancing, in the elegant seats of the teahouse, please come in!"
Zhu Han took Chen Baodao with him. Not far away, they heard a burst of shouting.
