Chapter 659 The first person on the list [1 more]

Needless to say, the first name on this list is none other than Zhu Houzhao.

As the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, on the list written by Zhu Houzhao, apart from him, no one else could be ranked first.

But in the first column, besides Zhu Houzhao, there is another person whose name is tied for first place.

Under normal circumstances, the lord of a country, the mother of a country, yin and yang should be tied together, and the person who should be tied for first place with Zhu Houzhao is the current queen.

However, Shao Yuanjie clearly remembered that the person who was tied for first place with the emperor was not the queen, but the first king of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Wang Chu Yi, who had disappeared for many years and had great power in the world, and was vaguely on par with the emperor.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao had unparalleled trust and dependence on Chu Yi. I don’t know how many people were only afraid of the power Zhu Houzhao had. After all, with Chu Yi’s power at the time, if Chu Yi wanted to, he might not be able to do it.

That act of changing the day.

After so many years, the officials above the court have changed several times. There are not many officials from Chu Yi's era left in the court now.

Zhu Houzhao has completed complete control of the court. At this time, even if Chu Yi reappears, it may not affect Zhu Houzhao's status.

Some people with dark minds naturally secretly slandered the relationship between Chu Yi and the Emperor, but those who really understood the relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi laughed at it.

As Shao Yuanjie saw, on the list listed by Zhu Houzhao, you can tell who has such a status in his mind just by looking at the list.

Even though it has been many years since Chu Yi disappeared, in Zhu Houzhao's heart, Chu Yi is already ranked first. Even the queen, prince, queen mother, and even Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others who have assisted him for many years are far behind.

Compared with Chu Yi.

On the entire list, there are more than a hundred names listed by the emperor, but the only one who can keep pace with Zhu Houzhao is Chu Yi.

Chu Yi's name is so eye-catching juxtaposed with Zhu Houzhao's name, making it look so extraordinary.

In the second column after the names of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi, at the front are the chief assistant Yang Yiqing, Anguo Duke Yangming, the queen, and the prince Zhu Zaiji.

The empress and the prince were surprised to be ranked behind Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming by the emperor. Obviously in Zhu Houzhao's heart, the status of these two pillars of the country was slightly higher than that of the empress and the prince.

In fact, this is normal. You must know that Zhu Houzhao can be said to be in his prime now. He has been practicing Taoist health care methods all year round. His health is not very good. Unless he encounters a sudden disaster, otherwise, he dare not say that he will live a hundred years, but he will live for a long time.

A few decades is really not a problem.

Therefore, for a long time, Zhu Houzhao did not have to consider the issue of succession to the throne. Naturally, the importance of the queen and the prince was not as important as the pillars of the country like Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming.

Of course, if Zhu Houzhao is old and decrepit, it goes without saying that the prince's status will naturally far exceed that of Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing.

Depending on the time you are in, your views on the same thing will naturally be different.

Shao Yuanjie naturally saw his name on the list. In contrast, Shao Yuanjie was very pleased. At least in the eyes of the emperor, his status was not bad, and he was almost ranked among the top ten.

After all, he has been with the emperor for so many years. Over the years, Shao Yuanjie can really be said to have done his best by the emperor's side without any overstep. In addition, he nursed the emperor's body and urged the emperor to keep fit. Zhu Houzhao is such an affectionate person.

, naturally it is impossible to forget Shaoyuan Festival.

If Shao Yuanjie is not an outsider but an outsider and does not want to be rewarded by him, then it is impossible for the emperor to at least grant Shao Yuanjie the title of marquis.

There are hundreds of names on the list, involving many civil and military officials in the court, and Shao Yuanjie also discovered that on this list, some old princes and nobles who have been passed down for hundreds of years are not on the list.

Obviously, in Zhu Houzhao's mind, these descendants who have long lost the heroic spirit of their ancestors are not worthy of being on the list he established.

Rustling, the only sound in the room was the slight sound made by Zhu Houzhao when he wrote from time to time. As for Wang Zheng, Shao Yuanjie stood aside and made no sound.

Ural Mountains

There was a vast scene on the vast land, and with the howling cold wind, a bloody air filled the air, mixed with the sound of several war horses neighing.

On this vast land, a brutal fighting had just come to an end. At a glance, one could see that there were corpses everywhere within a radius of more than ten miles.

The battle flags were either thrown on the ground, burning with flames, or pressed under the corpses.

Just looking at this situation, you can tell that a tragic battle has just occurred here.

The ground shook, and a cloud of smoke and dust was seen billowing from the distance. The leader was surprisingly Andrei, the commander of the Third Army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

I saw a group of people following Andre, heading straight for the battlefield.

When he approached the battlefield, Andre couldn't help but tighten the reins of the horse beneath him. The horse under him neighed and immediately stopped.

Riding on the horse, Andre looked at the scene in front of him with a look of disbelief. He turned over and dismounted, and saw Andre walking into the tragic battlefield with some staggering steps.

Looking around, there are corpses of soldiers of the Second and Sixth Army all around. Andre, a soldier of the Second and Sixth Army, can still be identified. The uniforms of these soldiers cannot be faked.

Then Andre was heard yelling: "Look for me to see if there are any alive!"

Second, the Sixth Legion. These two legions together have nearly 50,000 soldiers. The 50,000 soldiers are almost invincible in the Siberian wilderness where there is not a soul for dozens of miles.

However, the Second and Sixth Legions, who were supposed to be invincible, turned out to be littered with corpses here. What Andre couldn't accept the most was that if the Second and Sixth Legions were destroyed here, then the Second and Sixth Legions could be destroyed in one battle.

Second, where is the Ming army of the Sixth Legion now?

Apart from the Ming Dynasty, Andrei really couldn't think of any force that could inflict heavy damage on the Grand Duchy of Moscow in this desolate land of Siberia.

Among the hundreds of personal guards, except for a dozen who were left to protect Andre, the rest hurriedly rummaged among the corpses.

There are tens of thousands of corpses lying on the entire battlefield. Even though the battlefield has been cleaned up, not all of the tens of thousands of people are really completely dead.

It was almost tea time when a guard shouted loudly: "General, we found it, we found it, someone is still alive!"

Hearing the shouts of the guard, Andre stepped forward quickly. When he got closer, he saw a soldier lying in the arms of the guard, covered in blood.

On his chest, a bloody hole looked quite dazzling, but this wound avoided the vital part, which allowed him to luckily save his life.

After simply bandaging his wound, Andre couldn't help but ask: "Vadkin, what exactly happened here, where are Commander Shettel, Commander Alyosha and the others?"

The survivor who was discovered by chance was called Wadkin. He coughed violently. The pale-faced Wadkin couldn't help but change his expression when he heard Andre's question. He stopped coughing after a while and said extremely weakly.

: "Dead, all dead, Commander Alyosha is dead, Commander Sheter is dead, everyone is dead..."

His body swayed slightly, and the worst outcome that he was least willing to accept appeared in his heart. Andre's whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his vision almost went black and he almost fell to the ground.

Subconsciously grabbing Wadkin, Andre roared: "How is this possible? Secondly, the Sixth Army has tens of thousands of people, even more than the Ming army. With two legions

With such long ability, how could there be a disastrous defeat in which the entire army was wiped out?"

No wonder Andre found it difficult to accept it. Such a result was so unbelievable.

Wadkin shook his head, coughed and said: "There are so many Ming troops and so many cannons. The Shettel Army was overwhelmed by the artillery fire. The army collapsed. The Ming army chased and killed them everywhere. It was too miserable and the defeat was too miserable...

…”

It seemed that excessive emotion affected the wound, and Wadkin fainted from the pain.

Andre's expression changed. Although Wadkin didn't say a few words, from Wadkin's words, Andre could be sure of one thing, that is, the Ming army was not only tens of thousands as he thought.

"Does it mean that reinforcements are coming? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."

Just when Andre was lost in thought, the captain of his bodyguard came forward and said to Andre with a hint of worry, "Sir, it's very unsafe here. We must leave as soon as possible."

Andre took a deep breath, looked up and around, and nodded slowly.

Soon Andre and his party disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Just when Andrei returned to the camp and immediately took the remaining thousands of troops of his army and headed straight for the city of Moscow, almost dozens of miles away from Andrei's troops, there was a mighty

The vast army was rushing toward the capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow with the momentum of a great victory, like a rolling torrent.

With the help of Cheng Xiangwu's nearly 100,000-strong army, he was killed by surprise even with Sheter's stability.

Just as Wadkin said, the artillery fire from the Ming Dynasty was so fierce that even Shettel was killed by the artillery fire, which established the victory of the war in one fell swoop.

Cheng Xiangwu's 100,000-strong army was combined, and the Ming side had hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the second and sixth corps combined also numbered tens of thousands, the death of the commanders of the two corps, coupled with the heavy artillery fire, created chaos.

The two legions in the formation were defeated in that way.

This defeat was to fall into the abyss forever. Under the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops, except for a few people who escaped, almost 90% of the army was wiped out in one battle, completely wiping out the second and sixth two.

Grand Army.

The second, third, and sixth legions accounted for almost half of the troops and horses of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. However, after a few battles, most of the troops and horses of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, which completely interrupted the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

The momentum of external expansion has even cut off its terrifying national destiny of spanning two major states and establishing a huge empire.

Three months later, the Ming Expeditionary Army, which once again defeated the 4th and 5th legions of the Grand Duchy of Moscow that came to stop them in a hurry along the way, appeared under the city of Moscow.

Looking at the heart of Europe, this city made of huge rocks is also an extremely majestic and majestic city.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow expanded outward step by step with this place as its center, and even became a huge empire with a vast territory in the future.

However, all this became illusory as the Ming Dynasty troops came to the city.

In just half a year, Vasily III's whole person seemed to have suffered a huge blow.

Even in his wildest dreams, Vasily could never have imagined that his family was frantically expanding, and was about to establish a tyrannical country, but the sudden blow almost made Vasily crazy.

He had no grievances between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Ming Dynasty, and the two countries were thousands of miles apart. He thought about the Grand Duchy of Moscow's defeat at the hands of the Crimean Khanate, and thought about its defeat at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, but he never thought that one day

The Ming Empire, which is thousands of miles away, will invade the city.

Standing on top of the city, Vasily felt infinite unwillingness in his heart when he looked at the black and endless Ming army formation below the city.

But what can we do if we don't give in? All the legions that the Grand Duchy of Moscow could fight were sent out. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth legions were almost completely destroyed. Now only the first legion is left in Moscow.

.

Although there is still the First Army, Vasily does not have much hope in his heart. Although the First Army is strong, it is not as strong as the Second and Third Army. Several major armies of the Grand Duchy were destroyed.

It can only explain one thing, that is, the combat effectiveness of Akito's army is really too strong.

When the artillery pieces were pushed out and aimed at the city gates and walls, the last extravagant hope in Vasily's heart was shattered.

Although he had already known that the Ming army carried many powerful cannons, when he actually saw them, Vasily III finally understood why several of his legions were defeated.

As a monarch, Vasily III was very clear about the power of cannons. However, Vasily would rather spend a lot of money to equip the army with heavy and troublesome artillery.

Recruit a group of soldiers.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow's troops were invincible, and there was no need to equip artillery, a weapon that looked astonishingly powerful but was inconvenient to move. Now Vasily III had to pay the price for his shortsightedness.

Rumble

Following Cheng Xiangwu's order, hundreds of artillery pieces suddenly opened fire.

Cannonballs were fired at the city gate one after another. In the blink of an eye, the city gate was filled with smoke.

In the midst of the smoke, the originally thick city gate gradually shattered under the bombardment of cannonballs.

Even if it is a gate made of pure iron, it will be blown to pieces sooner or later if it is bombarded by artillery, let alone a city gate made of extremely thick wood.

The screams came, and the thick gate collapsed. A dozen soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow who were hiding at the city gate did not have time to escape, and were stunned by the gate.

"Kill"

Seeing the gate collapse suddenly, Lu Dazhu heard a loud roar and took the lead, leading the army straight towards the open city gate.

Cheng Xiangwu, who was riding on a war horse and saw this scene from a distance, stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "It's just the Grand Duchy of Moscow, nothing more than that."

I am afraid that Cheng Xiangwu and Lu Dazhu could never have imagined that a country that would span continents and be called a world power would be nipped in the bud by them.
