Chapter 292 Lan Yu: Thanks to the King of England!
Latest website:
Timur didn't know how long he slept during this sleep. It might have been a long time... but it seemed to be very short.
Anyway, when he was lost in the lake, he suddenly felt the bed shaking violently. Timur didn't take it seriously at first, but what followed was a deafening explosion. Timur had something on his mind.
, now I heard the explosion and suddenly woke up.
"what happened?"
Timur was very angry, and at the same time he was also worried: Such a loud explosion...could it be that the gunpowder magazine exploded?
wrong!
Not a powder magazine!
Timur clearly remembered that when he went to attack Yinli City, he had emptied all the gunpowder from the Western Chagatai Khanate. Now that the gunpowder is exhausted, there is not a single particle of gunpowder in Litai City... What's going on?
?
Why was there such a big explosion?
Timur immediately panicked: Could it be that... Xu Dalai made a sneak attack?
It is really possible... In the whole world, who else can have so much gunpowder except the Ming Dynasty?
For the first time, Timur thought of the Ming Dynasty, and then his guards ran in and confirmed Timur's guess: "Khan, foreign enemies invaded from the south city. They took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders and blew up the city wall.
At this time, they are competing with us for Nancheng."
Timur picked up a pillow and threw it at his guards: "Foreign enemy! Where is the foreign enemy? The Ming Dynasty? Or other khanates?"
Seeing that Timur was angry, the bodyguard quickly explained: "It's... it's the Ming Dynasty!"
"Da Ming! Xu Da?"
When Timur heard that the enemy was attacking from the south gate, he immediately guessed that the Ming army had bypassed the scouts he had left behind and made a large detour back to the south city to attack...
Is it Xu Da?
Timur didn't know if Xu Da was commanding the Ming army now. If so... Timur's first thought was to run away.
The further you run, the better!
Timur believed that Xu Da was an experienced military general. Since he decided to attack, he must have made complete preparations. Even if the number of Ming sergeants cannot be accurately known yet,... Xu Da has already taken action.
, will definitely be invincible.
After thinking about this, Timur directly chose to escape.
Leave Litai City, find a suitable geographical location, and organize a second line of defense to deal with Ming Dynasty's attack.
However, Timur didn't know that the troops led by Li Wenzhong only numbered 3,000, while Timur had 30,000...Three thousand scared away 30,000. If Timur knew this result, would he be angry?
Want to kill someone?
When Xu Da led the army to Litai City, Li Wenzhong had already controlled the entire city. Xu Da laughed and hugged Li Wenzhong: "I heard about it on the way here, Bao'er, you did a great job! Timur
This guy is so scared, hahaha!"
It can be seen that Xu Da is very happy.
Not only was he happy to defeat Timur and capture Litai City, but also because of Li Wenzhong's growth and maturity. He just arranged a task for Li Wenzhong, and Li Wenzhong did all the details himself. Who knew he could be so good?
Li Wenzhong did not take any credit, and said to Xu Da: "The main reason is your prestige, Uncle Xu. Timur is afraid of you, so he was afraid just after we attacked the city, so he ran away without asking for any information."
"Haha, don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Bao'er, your future is limitless!"
Xu Da patted Li Wenzhong on the back and said with increasing satisfaction: "Before, you were still a little baby, but now you can take charge of your own business, haha... Do you want to stay in the Western Regions forever? Have you ever had a fight with Timur?"
"Think about it."
Li Wenzhong scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "But Uncle Xu, we can't do it now... As you know, I just got married and don't have any children yet. My father is also urging me. I have to give birth to my son first before talking about anything else."
.”
"...Hahaha, you kid!"
Xu Da was so happy, who could have imagined... the child back then has grown up.
…
Regarding the battle report in the Western Regions, Xu Da gave a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang and told Zhu Han in a letter.
Zhu Han received Xu Da's letter and saw that Xu Da had captured Litai and took the first step to conquer the Western Chagatai Khanate. Zhu Han was very satisfied with Xu Da's actions, and he believed that the Ming Dynasty should have this
Cruel tactics.
If you dare to attack my city, I will destroy your country!
If we don’t have this means, how can we let the sun and moon shine forever?
As for how Xu Da wanted to fight, Zhu Han didn't need to worry about it. Xu Da and Li Wenzhong could handle all these trivial matters.
Besides, Zhu Han helped the Ming Dynasty innovate their tactics and developed many weapons that were ahead of their time. It would be easy for Xu Da and Li Wenzhong to attack other countries. If the two of them couldn't even do this little thing well, they would have no problem.
He is not worthy of being called the famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Han was lying on the grass leisurely, with his hands on the back of his head, enjoying the breeze on the grassland.
Today's Ming Dynasty, except for some problems in governance, has completely surpassed the previous Ming Dynasty without Zhu Han in other aspects. Those governance problems are inevitable problems in the existence of the system. Zhu Han is not in a hurry and will slowly change them.
Just fine.
With Zhu Yuanzhang as a workaholic, the inevitable problems in the system will soon be changed and solved.
By that time...it's time to travel around the world, right?
…
Lan Yu is a person who can't control his temper. He was sent by Zhu Han to the Indonesian area in later generations. This place is relatively close to the Ming Dynasty, and he still has more resources.
More resources means more opportunities for war. He just said one word: Charge!
After conquering one island and occupying another, even if the island would be submerged when the water rose, Lan Yu still erected a stone tablet on it to mark the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Lan Yu had received orders from Zhu Han. Zhu Han told Lan Yu that there was an island full of bird droppings. Those bird droppings were natural fertilizers and could turn barren land into fertile soil.
All the bird droppings must be transported to Daming.
Going to war... just to get guano?
Lan Yu was very reluctant to do this. He felt that he had been insulted. He told his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun about the insult, but Chang Yuchun slapped him on the head: "Brother-in-law, you look like you have never endured hardship."
Yes, do you know why we turned into bandits in the first place and why we followed His Majesty and the King of England to rebel? It was because there was no fertile land and I couldn’t even afford food. What could I do if I didn’t rebel? Brother-in-law, you have never experienced what it means to be hungry.
What does it feel like..."
After being educated repeatedly by Zhu Han and Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu also understood why Zhu Han cared so much about these islands, but he still felt awkward in his heart... a good warship was actually pulling bird droppings.
It’s awkward just thinking about it.
However, they discovered a new continent, a place that was favored by God.
Savages are everywhere... they seem to have never been civilized.
Lan Yu is also very puzzled about this. This land is so close to Indonesia. Indonesia was influenced by the Central Plains Dynasty and began to have its own culture, but why is it still a barbaric era here?
Don’t people in Indonesia want to explore outside?
Lan Yu felt particularly speechless. No matter how small this island is, it is still bigger than those in Indonesia, right?
However, no one wants it...it just so happens that it's all mine!
Lan Yu immediately gave the order to attack at full speed.
The deputy general following him was a little worried when he heard Lan Yu's order: "General, we only have a thousand people."
"What happened to a thousand people? The people here are just savages, what does it matter? It doesn't matter! Besides, we still have gunpowder. The savages here don't understand anything. If we just make some noise and come out, they will be scared to death.
, kneeling on the ground and shouting to the gods.”
Lan Yu didn't care at all, but said to the others: "Send people back to mobilize troops and horses, I will fight here first."
The deputy general wanted to say something more, but Lan Yu waved his hand and stopped him from continuing: "No need to say anything, just follow my order."
Here, he is the chief general, and the deputy general is just a helper. He can make suggestions, but cannot disobey Lan Yu's orders. Seeing Lan Yu's persistence, he can only lower his head and accept the order.
This is the commander-in-chief, and no one can influence the commander-in-chief's orders.
Just as Lan Yu said, the savages here... they are really savages. Lan Yu found the place where the savages gathered. Without saying a word, he used gunpowder to set off a big firework, directly razing half of the mountain to the ground. The savages
Where have you seen this before? Lan Yu and these intruders are gods!
Without saying a word, he knelt down and shouted to the gods.
This place called Australia became the land of the Ming Dynasty after the blue jade stone tablet was erected.
Lan Yu doesn't know, but Zhu Han knows very well that this land is rich in minerals, and agriculture and animal husbandry are also developed. Occupying this land, it can bring countless grains to the Ming Dynasty... It can be said that if Australia is captured, Lan Yu will
On the merit list for opening up and expanding the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be in the top five.
It's a pity that Lan Yu doesn't take this kind of credit seriously.
Is there anything more comfortable than fighting?
Lan Yu wants an evenly matched opponent.
Even if the other party is Chen Youliang or Wang Baobao?
…
Lan Yu wanted to fight a big battle and find an evenly matched opponent, and his opportunity soon appeared.
An imperial edict from Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Lan Yu back to Yingtian.
Lan Yu was a little confused about Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden move. He didn't know whether the sudden edict was a good thing or a bad thing... Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang knew about my overnight stay at the Indonesian King's Palace?
The royal palace symbolizes the private enjoyment of the supreme king. Although he is far away from the Ming Dynasty now, in the eyes of the court, his staying overnight in the palace is a blasphemy against the king's power... If he dares to stay overnight in the palace now, there is no guarantee that he will not treat Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.
The throne has twisted thoughts... Although Lan Yu knows that she will never be able to do this, the courtiers don't care about it.
Lan Yu returned to Yingtian Mansion very anxiously. He was already prepared to be held accountable by Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, when Lan Yu met Zhu Yuanzhang, she was confused by Zhu Yuanzhang's order. Zhu Yuanzhang called him back, not to rebuke him, but to ask him to lead troops to India to carry out the final annihilation of Wang Baobao.
You want me to deal with Wang Baobao?
After Lan Yu confirmed the news, he was extremely happy. Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
Fight, fight a big war! Find evenly matched enemies to scheming with.
For Lan Yu, nothing makes him happier than this.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the excited Lan Yu and snorted coldly: "Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. You kid, be careful. Wang Baobao is by no means a kind person. You must be careful when the time comes."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lan Yu agreed, but I don't know if he took Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder to heart.
However, Lan Yu was also very curious and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, why did you let me be the general? Zheng Guogong, Wei Guogong, and other princes and uncles are also in their prime years, and they have more prestige in the army.
Suitable for commanding troops in combat."
"They have been fighting with us all their lives. Now that they are old, we can't let them go to war, right? It's time for them to enjoy themselves."
Zhu Yuanzhang had already made arrangements for those people, but he would not tell Lan Yu his thoughts. He just said to him: "Just in time, you go out and practice. After the Ming Dynasty, it will be you young people."
Oh, it turns out that His Majesty wants to train our young generals.
However, he was not the only young man, there was also Li Wenzhong.
Chen Youliang...couldn't it be reserved for Li Wenzhong?
Li Wenzhong went to the Western Regions to support Xu Da, and then suddenly led his light cavalry to attack and captured the city directly. Timur was so frightened that he fled. After this battle, Li Wenzhong became famous in the circle of military commanders. Lan Yu naturally wanted to compete with him.
.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has entrusted him with the task of eliminating Wang Baobao, he secretly made up his mind to win the victory and let the military generals know that he, Lan Yu, was the number one among the young military generals of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the excited Lan Yu, then lowered his head to read, but reminded Lan Yu: "You should keep a lower profile from now on. Don't think that no one will be watching you if you go outside. Staying overnight in the palace... this is a capital crime!"
Whoosh!
Zhu Yuanzhang's casual reminder made Lan Yu break into a cold sweat. He quickly knelt on the ground to admit his mistake to Zhu Yuanzhang and promised to never do it again.
"Never do it again? Do you believe what you say?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and then said: "The King of England said that you have a wild temper and are not suitable to stay in the Central Plains, otherwise you will cause big trouble sooner or later. I was a little skeptical at first, but now it seems that the King of England said nothing.
Wrong, you are a troublemaker!"
"When you go out, you will get thirty boards. If you do it again in the future, it won't be solved by just giving you a board."
Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder made Lan Yu feel like she had received an amnesty. She quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and then obediently went out to get the board.
At this time, Lan Yu was extremely grateful to Zhu Han. If Zhu Han hadn't informed Lan Yu of his character in advance, then today he wouldn't have been able to solve the problem with thirty words.
"Thank you, the King of England, for giving me another chance."
Lan Yu thought of what Zhu Han said when he sent her away when she led troops to fight in Indonesia, and felt guilty. In less than half a year, she had betrayed Zhu Han's trust. How should she face it when she sees him again in the future?
The annoyed Lan Yu didn't let the person who hit the board stay strong when he was being hit with the board. He was hit hard for thirty times. In the end, he was beaten until he fainted and was given away by the captain of the Yiluan Division in the palace.
Gone home.
He wanted to improve his memory and never do anything inappropriate in the future.
