Chapter 6629: Mutual Redemption
Chapter 6629: Mutual Redemption
When Qin Hui and Wanqi Xie were killed in the Qiang court, Zhu Ming's dog Zhao also completed a major replacement of civil officials. The ministers headed by Wang Zhi, the official in the Ministry of Personnel, were now weak in their knees. There was nothing they could do. The dog Zhao's fighting ability was so strong that it completely exceeded the expectations of Wang Zhi and others.
As a result, Wang Zhi and others had no choice but to sacrifice the Minister of War and allow Zhao Gou to promote a suitable person as the new Minister of War. Yu Qian succeeded in this way, but he encountered collective hostility from other ministers.
After all, this was an official promoted by the emperor himself. If he was not a spy among their ministers, then what could he be? Yu Qian did not feel anything about this. He was a man who did what was appropriate for his position. He was a truly loyal and resolute minister in history who turned the tide. Even when the opportunity to restore the throne was seized by the emperor, Yu Qian, who already knew the future, did not try to stop it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
He watched helplessly the restoration of the monarchy and watched helplessly his own head fall to the ground. During that time, he said nothing and just quietly watched the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Would such a person have any different emotions due to the hostility of his colleagues in the same court?
What a joke, who are you looking down on?
Get to work. Since I, Yu Qian, am the Minister of War, I will just do my job. Then Zhao Gou discovered that this Yu Qian was so powerful. His fighting power was max. The other ministers combined were only about evenly matched with him. Damn, this was simply a magic weapon for political struggle.
Add more burdens, add a lot of burdens, and even hint to Yu Qian that if he follows Zhang Fu to attack, and comes back as a civil official, I will give you the entire title and make an exception for you.
The civil officials of Ming Dynasty did not have titles, and there was no such thing as hereditary succession. Titles were always a human rights card. During this time, Zhao the dog also figured out the rules of the Ming Dynasty's political system. Although there were many stupid things, it was really stable in terms of stability. This was simply the best platform for his political struggle. What else can I say? Charge!
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty felt the happiness that Taizong had when he was alive. They received full salaries, which were even more outrageous than when Taizong was alive. Before they even went to war, they received salaries in advance and in excess of the quota.
The Ming army was famous for being invincible when fully paid. Most of the time, the Ming army with half pay could defeat all kinds of opponents, not to mention this kind of excess food and pay. The officers of the Ming army had never enjoyed such treatment. Moreover, when they asked the opponents, they said, "Damn it, Yesen, what a crap! Not even a head can be given." They just rushed to attack, so much so that a month after Zhang Fu launched the attack, the battle report was sent back, and Yesen had been utterly defeated.
Five hundred thousand against thirty thousand, and the former had sufficient food and weapons, and were basically veterans who had experienced actual combat, and their salaries were overpaid, while the latter were just young and strong men from the tribe. What a loser! Yesen didn't even have a chance to change his battle path, and was caught by the officers who were clamoring to be worthy of the Ming Dynasty's food and salaries.
However, now the problem arises. After fighting this battle, Zhang Fu not only did not die due to mental exhaustion, but was refreshed and full of energy. He then led the cavalry to Mongolia in person, and while he was destroying the Oirat Mongols, he also did the same to the remnant Yuan Dynasty.
To be honest, this operation was actually very dangerous. Zhang Fu, who launched a super long-range attack on the remnant Yuan Dynasty, really intended to die there. He wanted to hold back the remnant Yuan Dynasty, and then let his nobles surround and destroy the Mongolian main force. In this way, while he died in battle and completed his mission and was conferred the title of King of England, he also performed a favor to all the nobles. In this way, if his family had any problems in the future, this incense could help his son.
How can I describe the result? Things did not go as planned, especially Zhang Fu, who was fully committed to the idea of dying on the battlefield. When he killed his way through the Northern Yuan Dynasty's court, he didn't even get hurt and completely defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
To be honest, this is normal. This was the time when the remnant Yuan was at its weakest. There was no need to explain how strong the remnant Yuan was after being severely humiliated by Yesen. The fully-paid Ming army crushed Yesen as if it were a piece of cake. After crushing Yesen, the remnant Yuan was still celebrating after receiving the news. Even if they were on guard, they never thought that a mature and prudent person like Zhang Fu would rush thousands of miles to attack the royal court.
This is totally inconsistent with the art of war, and even completely inconsistent with Zhang Fu's character. Normally, Zhang Fu would never do such a thing, but he did it anyway, because he was really looking for death. But now the problem comes. The Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated, Wang Ting was wiped out, and Tutubuhua was captured alive, but Zhang Fu is not dead yet.
Let me put it this way, not only did Zhang Fu not die, his current condition is better than when he was fooling around in Beijing. However, he had received the edict of enthronement from the King of England, and if he didn't die, the King of England wouldn't issue it. There was no choice but to fight. Fortunately, the words at that time were to destroy the Yuan Dynasty and wipe out the remnants of Mongolia, otherwise, after defeating the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he would have to go back, and then both King Ying Zhang Fu and the emperor would be embarrassed.
"Huh? General Zhang Fu went to fight the Golden Horde? They marched westward along the route of the Yuan Dynasty. The Golden Horde was totally unprepared for the massive attack from the east, so its front line collapsed. Then Zhang Fu and the descendants of the Chagatai Khanate, the Timurid Khanate, joined forces to destroy the Golden Horde." Jiaomen, who had already led his troops in person and was about to join forces with Yue Fei, received outrageous news from Gou Zhao.
"Yes, Zhang Fu is getting more and more fierce. What should we do? He is now driving the slaves of the Golden Horde to continue westward, and the Khan of Timurid Khanate has already submitted his allegiance and is willing to accept the rule of our Ming Dynasty. Zhang Fu wrote to ask whether we should destroy Timur as well." Zhao Gou felt that the Ming Dynasty was really outrageous. He actually did nothing but give them food and wages, and then this group of people went around attacking their opponents. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty was really short of money, right?
The Khan of Timurid Khanate actually didn't want to surrender, but Zhang Fu wanted to die. His current state was to find a tough guy to kill quickly, and then return to the throne of King of England with his body wrapped in his horse's hide. The problem was that he found that these tough guys around him were like fucking straw dogs when they really fought. They would not break into pieces at the first touch, but they would almost fall apart after two touches.
The Timurid Khanate was in a period of real rise at this time and was about to climb into the ranks of empires, but it was also very cowardly when faced with hundreds of thousands of fearless and brave Ming troops.
Especially at this time, Zhang Fu, who was thinking about finding a tough guy to fight with as soon as possible, was too tough, as if to say, "I really want to fight with you, you'd better turn against me quickly, and if you do, we'll go to war directly."
The malice was no longer written on their faces; it was revealed nakedly, and the Timurid Khanate was numb to see this undisguised malice.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was truly powerful, and the Timurid Khanate was ultimately split from the Four Khanates. So after confirming that the Ming emperor had inherited the legal throne, they became its vassal. There was no other way. Even if they had the power, they did not want to provoke this mad dog that was there to provoke them.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty, which has defeated the Chagatai Khanate, has already had the momentum of the peak period of Mongolia. The Timurid Khanate really doesn't want to sacrifice itself. After seeing Zhang Fu being so crazy, it decides to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and follow the Ming Dynasty to continue the westward expedition, continuing the tradition of the former Mongol Empire.
After all, this group of people in the east are tough guys at first glance, and they are still fighting against the idiots in the west. Last time our ancestors fought all the way to the fucking Black Sea, and this time they can continue fighting and complete the unfinished business of their ancestors. This is also a kind of inheritance. It seems that the Ming Dynasty also wants to inherit this legal system. The Ming emperor will definitely be the Khan of Heaven!
Zhang Fu looked very disappointed after the Great Khan of Timurid Khanate slid to his knees at lightning speed. This look made the high-ranking officials of Timurid Khanate very fortunate. Damn it, the beasts from the east really had bad intentions. Fortunately, I was very efficient in sliding to my knees, otherwise I would have been beaten as well.
In fact, if Zhang Fu fought with the Timurid Khanate at this time, he would most likely be defeated, but the Timurid Khanate would not be able to get away with it either. After all, Zhang Fu had won battle after battle, and even the Chagatai Khanate was basically defeated in a few battles. The morale of the entire army was high. Although the overall strength was inferior to that of the Timurid Khanate, the seventy-year-old Zhang Fu was really brave. Apart from fighting every day, he was thinking about how he should die.
In other words, how should one die to show his courage and be worthy of the title of the King of England.
But the Timurid Khanate didn't dare to gamble. On the one hand, Zhang Fu's performance was too outrageous. On the other hand, Zhang Fu really looked like he was forcing the Timurid Khanate to rebel and do it himself. If this wasn't full of confidence, what would it be? Everyone is not stupid! Zhang Fu wouldn't be looking for death!
After Timurid Khanate submitted a letter of submission, Dog Zhao notified Timurid Khanate to supply food and grass to Zhang Fu. He didn't want to care about Zhang Fu anymore. Let the other party do whatever they want. He has destroyed several countries and he is still alive. It turns out that the so-called outlasting the old general is nonsense. The more powerful the old general is, the more excited he will be.
By now Zhang Fu had led the Timurid cavalry to Europe. When the locals in Central Asia and West Asia heard that the big guys from the east were coming again, the scene of being severely beaten by the big guys from the east a hundred years ago emerged from the depths of their genes. They decisively slid to their knees and dared not even fight back.
After all, they all knew what treatment the last wave of guys who dared to resist had enjoyed. The record of Dongtian God General Guo Kan conquering a thousand cities sounds like a joke, but it is really a historical original. So when Zhang Fu came over, the locals knelt down directly and knelt all the way to Europe.
Even the Slavs who fought desperately against the Mongols last time chose to kneel down when facing the Ming Dynasty this time. There was nothing they could do because the reward God promised to give them had not arrived. What Slavic principality? Bullshit. It is better for them to be dogs of the big brother in the East. At least as dogs of the East, they were really given a fiefdom.
Look at the Slavs who resisted Mongolia and those who surrendered to Mongolia. Although the latter have been slaves of the Mongols for more than a hundred years, at least they have obtained legal status and some territory. But they are dogs of God, and the Slavic principalities are about to collapse.
So under the leadership of Zhang Fu, the Ming army rushed all the way to the Mediterranean Sea by eating the local people's food. The Catholics, who had been severely slapped by Mongolia hundreds of years ago, were so stunned when they saw a new round of super Eastern bosses who were said to have beaten Mongolia to the ground, coming over.
The Byzantine Empire wanted to struggle to its last ditch efforts, but facing the Ming Dynasty, which was advancing all the way and was at its peak of momentum, the Byzantine knight corps could not even defeat Zhang Fu's auxiliary troops, that is, the Mongolian cavalry of the Timurid Khanate. There was no other way. It seemed that there was really no opponent who could defeat the elite cavalry of the Timurid Khanate these days. In fact, even Zhang Fu's troops might not be able to defeat the elite cavalry sent by the Timurid Khanate.
However, under the command of Zhang Fu, the elite cavalry of the Timurid Khanate, which won victory after victory and marched all the way from India to Europe, nominally belonged to the Timurid Khanate. To put it bluntly, the Timurid Khanate did not have the courage to ask for them before Zhang Fu returned these people.
Just like after Dou Xian led the Qiang people and the Southern Xiongnu to wipe out the Northern Xiongnu, the Qiang tribal leader dared to come and demand talents when Dou Xian hadn't released them yet. It was incredible. He really thought that such a big guy would not easily wipe you out. If I can conquer Europe, I can also conquer your home nest.
In fact, the Timurid Khanate has no intention of doing anything about it now. Even if Zhang Fu died, the Timurid Khanate was prepared to stay in hiding for another 20 years. After all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could appoint such a heroic general as commander at such a young age to overwhelm Europe and Asia. If he got angry, given the distance between the two sides, he might really be warned by the emperor's six divisions.
Dog Zhao could also feel this clearly. Ever since Zhang Fu had a hard time sweeping the Northern Yuan Dynasty and caught Toghtobuhua to dance, the court officials started to talk less and less. After Zhang Fu destroyed the Golden Horde, the civil officials slandered the nobles less and the rumors also decreased. When Zhang Fu reached West Asia and received memorials from all nations, the civil officials became very calm. When Zhang Fu crossed the Mongolian border and asked Byzantium to write a letter to pay tribute, the civil officials began to wonder if they were being too conservative.
You should have told me earlier that you are so powerful. No wonder you dared to send troops to attack Yesen when the food and fodder supplies were insufficient. It turns out you are really capable. Let's play the role of our civil officials together.
The problem is, in the current situation, what's wrong with playing you? This is a super powerful man who swept across Europe and Asia. Playing you is just giving you face, okay!
"So why are you telling me this now?" Jiaomen said unhappily. Is Zhang Fu so powerful? Damn, I didn't know. Why does he feel more powerful than Yue Wangye? At least Yue Wangye didn't conquer Byzantium, but Zhang Fu really did.
"What I mean is that my mission is completed, and the rest is up to you. And I heard that there happens to be a country called Britain on the western border, so I discussed with Zhang Fu and decided to confer that country on him as a fiefdom. The Byzantine side seemed to have some complaints, but they were a group of rubbish who were placed above the throne by religion, so I directly conferred the title on them." Gou Zhao said arrogantly.
"And the Duke of England is now attacking his fiefdom?" Jiaomen scratched his head. Zhang Fu's ferocity was beyond his expectation. It turned out that the reward was not enough before and the seal was not lifted, right?
"It seems that they did not fight, but took over. The native kingdoms in Europe, under the leadership of the so-called Pope, rebuked the Kingdom of Britain for more than a dozen major crimes, and then dismissed the other party. Now they are making room for Zhang Fu. It should be ready soon, but I don't think Zhang Fu is very interested." Gou Zhao spoke with a bit of the casualness of an emperor. After all, he had not had a good life for a few days, and he felt happy after coming to the Ming Dynasty.
"What interest does he have in the wild land? He is actually interested in the title of King of England conferred by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty himself. The so-called wild land is just icing on the cake for him. He doesn't care." Jiaomen said arrogantly, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I will meet up with Yue Wumu soon. When the time comes, you will see how I will overthrow your Jin Dynasty with Yue Wumu!"
