I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

It was precisely because of these worries that Tuotuohua really hoped that the Ming army would win in his heart, and it was a thorough one.

Looking back, Tuotuohua said to the subordinates around him without hesitation: "Inform the clansmen to hurry up. The army of Jinzhang Han has been defeated. It is estimated that the Ming army will catch up soon."

The slow-moving team speeded up, and a hungry, sallow and emaciated barbarian from the Eastern Grassland drove the hungry, scrawny warhorses towards the city of Sarai, which was faintly visible in the distance.

But before their leading troops approached the city, there was a sound of horseshoes behind them.

Hungry, dizzy, and sore from walking, the Eastern Grassland barbarian quickened his pace of action without looking back.

Tuotuohua looked at the army of the Golden Horde Han who threw away their helmets and armor and fled from the side, a trace of contempt flashed in their eyes.

These guys just laughed at them on the Eastern Grassland just now, but look at their bird-like appearance now, like a lost dog, this appearance is not as good as them.

After all, the Khans in the East fought Da Ming with real swords and guns. Although they also failed, they would not be defeated as soon as they came into contact.

"Hmph, I'm really used to enjoying it in the West, and I have forgotten the bravery of my ancestors."

With a low voice of contempt, Tuotuohua immediately patted his horse and followed the troops into the city.

He was afraid that if it was later, Daming's army would rush over, and the defenders in the city would close the gate, and it would be a complete end.

The city lord of Sarai City is also a coward and coward.

Seeing that the army sent from above has been defeated like this after just contact with the enemy, the tribesmen in the east, nearly a million people have also been killed and only tens of thousands of people are left, they are so scared that they shrink their heads In the shell, he immediately ordered the city to be closed to block the gate, and sent people to rescue other cities.

Although Sarai is a border city, it is also an important town of the Golden Horde. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in it, and tens of thousands of people as their backing.

With so many troops defending such a heavy border city, let alone facing thousands of enemies, even facing 10 troops, it can defend for a period of time.

But this timid city lord went to ask for help before the fight started. It is conceivable that this guy was probably exhausted by the blond girls in the west.

At noon, the Ming army rushed over after having lunch.

"Grandpa, do we want to attack the city?"

Looking at the strictly guarded city in the distance, Zhu Zhangui asked about the old man who was watching with a telescope.

"What city to attack? We didn't come here to occupy the land this time. Even if we occupied it, can we defend it with a few thousand people?"

Taking back the binoculars, the old man talked about his thoughts while walking to the car.

"We came here this time to inform the people in the west that our Daming is not the weak Song Dynasty before. It is to let these barbarians know that I have already confiscated the grassland land in the east. If there is nothing to do, don't go to the east. If we do, we must be ready to wipe out the entire army, or prepare for me to go to Beiju Luzhou to build roads and plant potatoes."

After closing the door, the old man put his legs on the console and waved his hand domineeringly: "Let's go, let's continue to slip, we have you here, no logistical troubles, before winter comes, let's take a good look at our future territory. "

Hearing what the old man said, Zhu Zhangui laughed and got into the car, stepped on the gas pedal, led the convoy behind him, bypassed Sarai City, and headed west to Sarai under the tense and bewildered expressions of the defenders on the city wall. away from the city.

Sure enough, as he imagined, the old man's trip this time is completely an old lion patrolling the territory, and expressing condolences to the neighbors around him.

The thousands of people around him said they were here to fight, but they were actually more like accompanying guards.

It's only the beginning of August now, and there is still more than a month before winter, since the old man wants to take a long walk before going back, let's take a good walk with him.

For the next half month, Zhu Zhangui and the old man ran around the Golden Horde with thousands of troops behind them.

Among them, I also encountered enemy troops a few times, but they were all beaten by Zhu Zhangui and the old man.

Later, the Jinzhang Han Kingdom discovered that the thousands of Ming soldiers had no plans to attack the city at all, and they also gave up the idea of ​​attacking and destroying the city.

After all, the terrifying weapons of the Ming army were so powerful that the Golden Horde lost nearly 3 horses in just a few waves of contact.

In the past few years, the power of the Golden Horde Han Kingdom has been declining. These troops are the power to deter the surrounding countries. If there are no such soldiers, let alone the issue of tax collection, the ruling power will probably be in turmoil.

Since these Ming troops did not intend to attack the cities, but just wandered around the country, the Khan of the Golden Horde directly ordered the cities to be strictly guarded, and no attack was allowed without orders.

He even strictly restrained his subordinates, no one was allowed to provoke these Ming troops, just pretend that they didn't exist.

In the view of the Khan of the Golden Horde, as long as winter comes, these Ming troops who have not escaped from the cold will naturally leave the territory of the Golden Horde.

When the Ming army is gone, he can continue to collect taxes and continue to enjoy a happy life.

"Little brat, where is this place!"

As time entered the end of August, the climate on the side of the Golden Horde began to cool down.

The grandpa and grandson of Zhu Zhangui, who had been in the Golden Horde for more than half a month, came to a land of lush forests.

Looking at the beautiful forest in the distance and the green grassy hillsides, the old man in a cloak took a breath of fresh air and asked Zhu Zhangui who was watching with a compass and a map next to him. where?

Zhu Zhangui, who was lying on the carriage to check the map, replied without raising his head.

"According to the guidance on the map, we should have arrived at Ryazan. This is a small principality, that is, the fiefdom of a duke. A little further to the northwest is the Principality of Moscow. If we turn around and go west, there is a powerful country there. country, the name is the Principality of Lithuania."

Zhu Zhangui pulled the map again, pulled it to the west and pointed, "Go further west, and that is the western region I told you about."

"Western region?"

The old man looked back at Zhu Zhangui, "It's the area where Zheng He's hand was broken!"

"Yes, but you have to go through countless countries to get to that area."

The old man didn't speak, just nodded, and came to Zhu Zhangui's side to look at the map.

"These small countries here should be foreign countries of the Golden Horde Han Kingdom. Let's go, let's pay a visit, maybe there will be no unexpected surprises."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and ordered: "Let's go back after visiting these two countries. I guess your father and the court should be waiting impatiently."

Zhu Zhangui smiled but didn't dare to answer, put away the map, boarded the car and started to go to the Principality of Liangzan.

In the minds of many people, the West is powerful and rich, but during the Ming Dynasty, this area had nothing to do with civilization at all.

Not to mention drinking blood like a hair, in fact, it's not much different.

Cities are rarely seen here. The villages Zhu Zhangui and others passed by were all small villages with wooden fences, and even brick buildings were rare.

At this time, the Principality of Ryazan was in the period of Yin Fan III's rule. The citizens could not be said to be rich, nor could they be said to be too poor. They could only be said to be so-so.

It is said that this is a principality, but if it is placed in Daming, it is slightly larger than a county.

As dusk came, Shanna drove the animals back to the shed.

It was a boring day, but also an ordinary day.

After finishing her daily work, she was just about to go home to prepare dinner for her parents, younger siblings, when she heard a strange sound in her ear.

Curious Shana turned her head to look where the voice came from.

I saw a dozen very strange things appearing in the faintly dark place in the south, and beside those things, there was a cavalryman holding a banner.

Shana's eyesight has been good since she was a child. Although it is getting dark now, she can still see clearly the appearance of the cavalry in the distance.

Black hair, yellow skin, and well-crafted armor.

Shana's heart trembled violently, remembering the horrible scene when she was a child.

That night, countless black-haired, yellow-skinned, black-eyed demons rode into the village on fierce horses from hell.

They kill anyone they see, women they see...

Shana's sister, because of her outstanding looks, was humiliated to death by more than a dozen demons. In the end, instead of letting go of her body, they hung her body at the entrance of the village as a target for archery.

When she was young, she hid in the cellar and witnessed this scene with her own eyes. She still can't forget her sister's angry screams and her unwilling eyes after death.

Thinking of the tragedy of her sister's death, Shana screamed in horror, covered her head and turned to go to the village.

While running, she yelled in horror.

"Run, run, the yellow-skinned devil is coming, the yellow-skinned devil is coming!"

Chapter 305: I want to be Daming's henchman!

Shana's shout alarmed the whole village. The Ryazan people who were going to enjoy dinner and then enter the room with their wives to spend a shameless night rushed out of the house in panic.

The men quickly assembled in the village with axes, kitchen knives, various tools, and wooden boards and pot covers in their hands.

The women were not idle either.

They hid the children and the elderly in the cellar, then took the wooden fork and scissors at home, stood behind the man, and were ready to fight.

This is not because they are all good at fighting, but because they are forced to be helpless.

If you don't resist, you will die. A man will be done with one knife, and a woman will be tortured endlessly before she dies, regardless of whether she is old or young, good-looking or not.

Therefore, under the persecution of this general environment, no matter whether a man or a woman has a little strength, when encountering an enemy attack, they must take out their weapons and fight the enemy desperately.

Perhaps they were called the fighting nation in later generations, and it may have started from here.

"Shana, are you sure it's really a yellow-skinned devil?"

An old man with a knight sword in his hand asked Shana with a serious expression.

He was getting old, and the sky was dark, so he could only vaguely see figures shaking and strange things on the hillside in the distance.

"Yes, Master Luo Yin, they are wearing fine armor, their skin is yellow, and I can't see their hair and eyes clearly, but they are faintly black."

The old man in front of him is the knight of this village, and this village is his fiefdom.

"Damn it, haven't we paid our taxes? Why are they here again?"

The old knight named Luo Yin cursed in a low voice, and then yelled at the son of the organized villager: "Huff, report to the lord immediately and ask him for help, hurry up!"

Huff, who was organizing the villagers, was stunned for a moment.

He understood what his father meant. On the surface, his father asked him to ask for help, but the deep meaning was to let him run for his life.

Although the surrounding villagers also understood, they just silently watched the distant enemy without saying a word.

Shana bit her bright red lips, staring straight at Huff.

The two are childhood sweethearts. Although one is from an aristocratic family and the other is an ordinary woman, they still cannot stop their passionate love.

Many people in the village knew about the relationship between the two, even the Luo Yin knight knew it all.

As a woman, having a man stand in front of her and protect herself when she is in danger is the greatest and best wish.

Huff also promised her before that no matter what dangers he encountered, he would protect her and protect her for the rest of his life.

Now that the challenge is coming, she wants to see how this man should choose.

If she leaves, she will not leave. Her parents, younger siblings are here, and Shana will not leave them alone to run for her life.

No matter what the result is today, she will pick up the dagger that Huff gave her and fight the enemy to the end.

"Father, go. As a warrior, my conscience and my mission do not allow me to leave at this time."

Huff rejected his father, walked up to Shanna and put his arms around her shoulders, and confessed their relationship to his father for the first time.

"What's more, there are people I protect here. You have been telling me the principles of knights. Today is my duty as a knight."

Luo Yin looked at his son with a firm expression, and his eyes froze slightly.

Back then, he also protected Huff's mother in the same way. The son in front of him had grown up, and his former figure appeared on his body.

Seeing the two men and women embracing each other tightly, Luo Yin slowly stepped forward, and under the begging eyes of his son, he took off the chain mail he had just put on and put it on his son.

The entire village only had this set of armor. He was old, and it was a waste to wear this armor on him.

His son has grown up, so he can't just die here. Although he knows that he can't drive this child away, Luo Yin hopes that this armor, which has been with him for many years, can protect his only seedling, and let the family's inheritance continue to be passed on. go down.

"Father!"

Looking at his father who put on armor for himself, Huff cried out with tears in his eyes.

After fastening the chain mail, Luo Yin patted his son's shoulder and put the helmet on his son's head.

Then he pulled out the knight sword from his waist and handed it to his son.

When Huff grabbed the knight sword, Luo Yin said loudly: "Knight Huff, have you done a good job of protecting your people and your fief..." Speaking of which, he glanced at Shana beside Huff, with an expression on his face. Bring out a smile, "And the battle readiness of your favorite!"

Hearing his father's solemn question, Huff knelt on the ground with a knight's sword in his hand under the watchful eyes of all the villagers and his lover.

"Lord Lord, Knight Huff is always ready to fight!"

"Da da da…"

Just as the knight promotion ceremony was being held in the village, a sound of horseshoes sounded from outside the village.

Luo Yin, who had just promoted his son, took the ax from the villagers nearby and stood in front of everyone with big strides.

This is his fiefdom, here are his people, he is the knight lord here, he is usually worshiped and respected, this is the time for him to stand up.

Huff arranged Shana in the crowd, and under his worried eyes, stood beside his father, ready to fight.

The person who came was a knight in fine armor, and under his crotch was a horse that looked very much like a donkey.

The knight held a very gorgeous and beautiful banner in his hand, and there was a text on it that Luo Yin and the others couldn't understand.
