Most of the buildings in Tabriz City are made of wood, and the fire will burn bigger and bigger due to the wind.
After Ancru rescued General Emir, he saw that the fire was unstoppable and had to evacuate quickly.
The camp chosen by Beilin was upwind. Looking at the fire in front of the sky, she couldn't help but sigh: "We could have lived in peace, cooperated together, and made a fortune together. Wouldn't it be beautiful? Why bother if you have to commit suicide?"
Zhang Maoze looked confused. You bombed someone's hometown, causing countless casualties, and you are still making sarcastic remarks here?
Doesn't your conscience hurt?
"Brother Zhang!"
"Hey, hey!"
Zhang Mao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know how long this fire will last. Your troops are on standby at any time. Once the fire is extinguished, enter the city immediately!"
"Enter the city..."
Zhang Mao asked doubtfully: "Is this still necessary? When the fire is finished, there will probably be nothing left in the city!"
These words are true, because the explosion was too severe!
A cluster bomb contains fifty conventional bombs the size of a fist. When it falls from the sky, it is like a goddess scattering flowers. There is no accuracy at all, and the main attack is random.
Five rounds of bombings were carried out, covering almost the entire city.
The only thing the Aries people can do is to watch countless bombs fall from the sky, and then... nothing happens.
Even if early warning is possible, no effective preventive measures can be found.
This air raid is a completely devastating blow to the city of Tabriz. It is estimated that there will be only a few living people left. Is it necessary to enter the city?
Beilin said: "We are only responsible for attacking the enemy's active forces, and your task is not only to take over the city, but more importantly, to restore people's livelihood and gather people's hearts."
Zhang Mao looked at the fire soaring into the sky, hesitating, and said: "This, this...can it still be restored?"
"Brother Zhang!"
"Um?"
Beilin smiled lightly and said, "The emperor values people's livelihood very much. Do you know what to do?"
Zhang Mao sighed and said helplessly: "I understand, take over the city defense and restore people's livelihood!"
While the two were talking, Ancru's men had already withdrawn from the city and arrived at the camp.
Alejandro had been waiting for a long time and immediately led Ancru and Emil to Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao greeted him and asked, "How is it? Has the person been rescued?"
Emil walked out of the team and said, "Thank you, General, for the rescue!"
Zhang Mao laughed and said: "You are that Ai, what are you doing?"
Alejandro reminded in a low voice: "It's General Emil."
"Oh, yes, General Emir, I heard that you are the top military commander of the Aries Kingdom."
Emil lowered his head and said: "I feel ashamed to say that my position has been removed and now I am just a prisoner."
Zhang Mao asked rhetorically: "Who is the highest military commander of Aries Kingdom now?"
"It's the Baron Allewand who was just appointed by His Majesty the King."
"Oh, is it so?"
Zhang Mao asked again: "Where is this person?"
"he is……"
Emil turned around and looked at the fire in the distance, stunned for a moment.
Zhang Mao continued: "Let me ask again, where is your king?"
General Emir still didn't speak, just stared blankly in the direction of Tabriz City.
"Don't you understand yet? The Aries is gone, the king is gone, and that bullshit baron is gone!"
When Emil heard these words, it was as if all his strength was drained from his body, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground.
Although he was very dissatisfied with what the king had done, he still found it hard to accept the sudden change in Aries Kingdom.
"It's all gone, it's all gone, what...what should we do?"
Beilin stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, the contract you signed with the emperor in Tehran is still in effect. From now on, you will be the supreme commander of Tabriz City."
Alejandro conveyed the original words. Emil raised his head and said blankly: "What did you say?"
Beilin took out a piece of brocade silk from her arms and said: "This is the emperor's imperial edict. The Aries Kingdom will no longer exist. The original land will be split into five new administrative divisions. You will be the first Aries."
The commander of the guards is stationed in Tabriz City."
After listening for a long time, the emir said: "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has already thought about it."
Beilin handed over the brocade silk: "Commander Emir, please accept the order!"
After translating, Alejandro introduced the rules of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial edict represented the emperor's personal visit, and he had to kneel down and salute, and so on.
The emir was greatly shocked and quickly knelt down to receive the order.
Beilin handed over the imperial edict and said: "Now that we are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, we should work together and deal with the outside world. The Timur Khanate is ready to go. The war can start at any time. You must do it as soon as possible.
To appease the people, summon the old troops and prepare to fight Timur!"
Emil looked troubled, why did he still fight...
Seeing this, Beilin continued: "You can rest assured that I, the Ming Dynasty, will always treat people equally and will never treat Aries as cannon fodder like Timur did. Let me put it more bluntly, regardless of Aries
Whether people participate in the war or not will not affect the trend of the war."
"However, the emperor's gifts also vary from person to person. If you sincerely submit, you will naturally achieve success and fame, and will be rich and powerful for generations. But if you are half-hearted and appear to be incompatible with the spirit, at worst, if I come again, I can destroy you as much as I destroyed the Aries King!"
These words were both grace and power, and the Emir bowed his head and said: "I, Khayyam Emir, hereby swear to be loyal to His Majesty the Ming Emperor forever. In the face of powerful enemies, I will not be afraid, have no hesitation, and would rather die than surrender!"
Beilin didn't understand the rules here, but it looked like it was the same, so she said: "I will forward your oath to the emperor, and I will leave this place to you."
The emir saluted and said: "I obey your will!"
Beilin waved behind her: "Malanchi!"
Malanchi stepped forward: "Here!"
"The Emperor said that Tabriz City needs an oracle, and I recommend you."
"Thank you for your support, sir!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Malanchi was immediately excited. He was just an extremely ordinary civilian in Tehran. To be precise, he was a pariah in other people's words. He never thought that one day he would
Can become a high-ranking official.
Of course, officials in the Ming Dynasty are different from other places. They do not just exercise power and exploit the people, but they must truly make decisions for the people and achieve some results.
Beilin said to Emil: "Malanchi will stay to assist you. He is mainly responsible for promoting education and popularizing Chinese studies."
Naturally, Emil would not refuse, but there was a slight hint of disdain on his face.
In his eyes, knowing how to fight is considered a skill. What kind of education is necessary?
When Belin saw this, she said: "Whether it is White Sheep, Black Sheep, Timur, Ottoman, or the former Eastern Rome, no matter who is the ruler, the people have no sense of identity and have been in a state of disintegration for hundreds of years.
status, do you know why?"
The emir looked a little depressed and replied: "The people have been suffering from the constant war."
Beilin continued: "What you are talking about is only one aspect, but why are there constant wars all year round? Why do people still have no sense of belonging under a relatively stable rule? Have you ever thought about it?"
"I... never thought about it..."
"I'll tell you!"
Bei Lin's expression was solemn and she said: "This is the meaning of education. Only when books share the same text and cars run on the same track can we unite as one and unite as one."
Emil was puzzled and asked: "Why can everyone unite by writing the same words and using the same distance between the tracks?"
Bai Lin explained: "Books and cars share the same track, which is the unity of social order and culture. "The Great Learning" says that a gentleman should stick to his roots, and the Tao will be born from his roots. He who is filial to his brothers is the foundation of benevolence. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. Since
The scriptures are in the heart, and the gods are self-sufficient. Therefore, those who travel on the same track, write with the same text, and travel thousands of miles without getting trapped are called the same text and the same voice."
Alejandro felt that he was under great pressure, so he had no choice but to say truthfully: "Scholar Bei, you...it's better to stop for a moment. I don't understand and I can't translate it..."
At this time, Malanchi stepped forward and translated the general meaning of these words.
Ancient Chinese can be said to be profound and profound, and it is impossible to translate it intact. However, translation pays most attention to artistic conception. It does not need to be translated word for word, as long as the content is clearly expressed, it is enough.
Emil finally understood, but not completely.
Malanchi went on to describe these allusions and their origins in detail. "Cars on the same track, books on the same text" is to maintain social order and promote cultural exchange and inheritance through unified rules and systems. It is an important concept in ancient Chinese Confucianism and also
Ideas first taught when the Academy of Sciences preached enlightenment in Tehran.
The more Emil listened, the more he felt that the truth behind it was unfathomable and could definitely be understood overnight.
If you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable for the Ming Dynasty to be so powerful.
However, when he looked at Malanchi in front of him, he still had a question.
“Are you from the Hussein family in Tehran?”
Malanchi shook his head and said nothing.
"Is that... from the Mirza family?"
Malanchi still shook his head and said nothing.
Emir wondered: "It's strange, are there any nobles in Tehran?"
"Your Excellency Emir, I am not a noble."
"What do you mean, you are not a noble?"
"Yes, I am just a very ordinary commoner, and I am even more a pariah in the eyes of the nobles."
"Then how are you qualified to study culture and even understand Chinese studies?"
After hearing this, Malanchi was not angry, but explained: "In Tehran, there has long been no distinction between nobles and civilians."
"You mean, civilians can also read and write?"
"Yes!"
Malanqi nodded and continued: "Moreover, I have really started to read and write, but it has only been two months. I have just come into contact with a lot of knowledge. I hope that Your Majesty the Emir will give you some advice."
Emil blushed and waved his hands: "Don't say this. From now on, you and I will work together and the education will all depend on you!"
Malanqi cupped his fists and saluted: "I should repay the emperor's kindness and serve the common people below, and encourage you together!"
After Bei Lin explained everything, she left Zhang Mao's men behind and set off back to Tehran with 200 people.
The Timur Khanate is already deploying troops, and it seems that it is not ready to give up the Western Region.
The decisive battle is coming soon. Before that, taking down Black Sheep and White Sheep one after another will not only weaken Timur's strength, but more importantly, it can effectively break the geographical disadvantage in Central Asia.
Otherwise, Timur, Black Sheep, White Sheep, and some small surrounding tribal regimes can form an all-round encirclement of Tehran and even cut off Tehran's road to Constantinople.
The situation is different now. The two largest political powers, Black Sheep and White Sheep, have been taken down, and other tribes in a wait-and-see state do not dare to act rashly. Only the Tamerlane Khanate is left as an enemy.
Zhu Qizhen is very satisfied with Beilin's performance. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, which is an eternal truth.
Whether it was the assault on Constantinople or the black sheep or white sheep behind them, they were all tough bones to crack.
If you rely on heavy firepower to push through, although you still have a greater chance of winning, it will consume huge manpower and material resources, as well as a time cost that cannot be measured by financial resources.
War is about consumption and supplies. Every artillery shell fired from the front line and every pound of food distributed to soldiers require strong national power to support them.
The Academy of Sciences' aerial strikes have become increasingly mature. No matter how difficult the city is, how thick the city walls are, or how many garrisons there are, how can you defend yourself from the sky?
Just throw a bomb in your face and the battle is over.
This method of fighting not only saves time and effort, but also minimizes casualties. After all, those low-level soldiers and most civilians are innocent.
If given a choice, no one would want to go to the battlefield.
"The situation has become very obvious. Now it is me, the Ming Dynasty, who has completely surrounded Timur!"
On the map, the Timur Khanate occupies the entire Western Region and half of India. However, Hami and Uzang are in the east, Ceylon is in the south, Ottoman and Tehran are in the west, and the Seven Rivers area in the north has been destroyed.
Occupy, look around, it's all Ming territory.
Beilin said: "Your Majesty, I think air strikes are more effective. This battle..."
"No!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop it and said: "Air strikes are indeed very efficient, but now is not the time."
"The emperor means..."
"The premise of air strikes is to occupy most of the land, eliminate the enemy's effective forces, and then concentrate on dealing with an isolated city. If you look at Herat, the main city of Timur Khanate, which is more than a thousand miles away from Tehran, if you lead people to escape
In the past, weren't you looking for death?"
Beilin smiled and said: "My intention is to raid the enemy's nearest city. Helat City has not been considered yet."
"That's even more unnecessary. The Academy of Sciences is now my secret weapon. It cannot be revealed easily. Once it is used, the opponent must be killed."
Zhu Qizhen stared at the map and continued: "I am preparing to mobilize the Sixth Route Army to conquer Timur. The biggest problem now is that the communication is lagging and the orders are not conveyed in time."
Beilin thought for a while and said: "It's all thanks to the emperor's civil and military skills. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's territory spans the world, and it's normal for communications to be unable to keep up."
Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said: "The Academy of Sciences must work hard. Don't think about war all day long. The main thing is to develop wireless communication as soon as possible."
Beilin could only say: "I will obey the Holy Will!"
