Everyone looked at each other, and no one could answer.
At this moment, Han Du suddenly thought that the person leading the army seemed to have glanced at him, then his expression suddenly changed, and then he waved his hand to stop the charge.
But it's the first time I've come here, and it's impossible for the other party to recognize me. How can I stop the other party from moving forward?
Suddenly Han Du thought of something and turned around suddenly to see Shi Si and the slave girl standing behind him. Han Du's eyes directly ignored Shi Si and fell on the slave girl.
The female slave seemed to have been observing Han Du quietly and secretly. Suddenly she met Han Du's eyes. She couldn't help being frightened and took a step back. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Han Du.
Han Du looked at the slave girl for a moment, then turned to Shi Si and said, "Ask her if those people know her."
Han Du thought about it, and the reason why those people retreated without hesitation must have suddenly discovered something. After all, how could they retreat so easily when they came to arrest someone so aggressively? On my side, the only one who can have contact with the other party is this female slave from Tianfang.
Han Du's words instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at the slave girl.
Facing the attention of everyone, the female slave changed from her usual fearful attitude. She immediately held her head high and answered Shi Si's questions in a rhythmic tone.
Shi Si listened to the slave girl's answer, and the expression on his face gradually became surprised. When he came back to his senses, he saw Han Du looking at him with burning eyes, and quickly replied: "Master Marquis, she said that she is the daughter of the Sultan of the Mamluk Dynasty, and the general below is the most powerful forty man in their dynasty. Bit...she seemed to call him Emir, which should mean general..."
"What dynasty? Isn't this Tianfang?" Zhu Biao immediately interjected and asked.
Han Du guessed what was going on, and explained to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, in the eyes of us Ming people, this place is a paradise. But this name was also passed down from the Han Dynasty, which is the same as the change of dynasties in the Central Plains. After so many years, it is reasonable for their names to change."
Zhu Biao thought the same thing. This place is far away from Taiyuan in the Central Plains. Maybe no one has ever been here. I don't know how long ago the name Tianfang came from. But Zhu Biao still wanted to know some conditions of the former Tianfang Kingdom, so he said to Shi Si: "Ask her, where is the former Tianfang Kingdom?"
Shi Si obediently relayed the prince's original words to the slave girl, but the slave girl shook her head with a blank look on her face, and then said a few words.
"Your Highness, she said that he had never heard of the Tianfang country appearing here, and asked if we were mistaken?"
"It has never appeared? How is this possible? It is clearly recorded in the history books..." Zhu Biao unexpectedly said loudly.
Han Du somewhat understood what was going on. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, she has no chance to see our history books."
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Do they still have no history books themselves?"
"Well... I'm afraid it really doesn't exist." Han Du sighed helplessly.
Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly widened, looking like he couldn't believe it.
Han Du shook his head helplessly and smiled: "This Tianfang is different from our Ming Dynasty. No matter how the Ming Dynasty changes, the world will always be unified, and the later dynasties will also recognize the orthodox status of the previous dynasty and be willing to accept the people of the previous dynasty. "
In particular, it is particularly important for the later dynasty to recognize the orthodox status of the previous dynasty. It stands to reason that Lao Zhu hated Qian Yuan very much, but even so, he had to publicly acknowledge the orthodox status of Qian Yuan when the Ming Dynasty was established to worship heaven. Moreover, as the Meng Yuan people became increasingly weak, Lao Zhu also timely reflected his ambition to be the master of the world. He no longer mainly massacred the Meng Yuan tribe, but turned to appeasement.
"But it's different here. There are racial disputes, religious disputes, and sectarian disputes. Once the kingdom is defeated, there is almost no possibility of turning over. All of them will be turned into slaves. These slaves will either go through untold hardships and stand up again; no Those who were able to stand up all disappeared in the long river of history and were exterminated. After the extermination, no matter what the previous kingdoms did, they were regarded as wrong. Naturally, no one would pay attention to the history they originally recorded. . As time passes, it is easy to see that the history before the present is all blank."
Zhu Biao was greatly surprised when he heard this, and felt that the world was full of wonders. In the Ming Dynasty, orderly history could be passed down for thousands of years, but here it turns into a blank. In other words, people in the future will have no idea what happened here now?
"Learning from the past is a guide for the future. How can they learn from the experiences and lessons of their predecessors if they don't even have history?"
Seeing the confusion on Zhu Biao's face, Han Du smiled and explained: "They don't need to learn from the experience of their predecessors. In their opinion, what they are doing now is right."
After hearing this, Zhu Biao didn't want to say that these people were too arrogant. This was not arrogance at all, but a blind man who was going down the mountain and would fall into trouble at any time.
Han Du ordered Shi Si again: "Ask her, what was the last dynasty and how was it destroyed?"
Shi Si nodded, communicated with the slave girl for a moment, turned back and bowed slightly towards Han Du and Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, Lord Marquis, according to her, the previous one was not a dynasty, but a very powerful empire. But this empire is not As the marquis expected, they were destroyed. The current Mamluk dynasty was established after the previous empire fell apart and took the opportunity to seize the land. By the way, she also said that the Sultan is the ruler of this dynasty. I estimate that the Sultan He is the king of this dynasty."
"She is the king's daughter? Then she is really a princess?" Zhu Biao was shocked.
Originally, the slave girl said she was some kind of princess, but not only Zhu Biao, but also Han Du and others did not take her words to heart, thinking that she was someone who had never seen the market before. After all, the words came from her mouth. Who knows what happened to the princess in her mouth?
The Mamluk dynasty, the daughter of the sultan, is naturally a princess.
Han Du nodded, and then asked: "Did she tell how the last one was killed?"
Shi Si nodded and said with a strange expression: "It's the whip of God."
"God's whip?" Zhu Biao was confused for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Is it the former Yuan Dynasty? Meng Yuan people?"
Zhu Biao took a breath and looked at Han Du with a complicated expression, "The Meng Yuan people actually attacked here? How many countries did they destroy all the way to the west?"
Although Han Du didn't want to destroy Ming's majesty, he had to nod and admit, "Meng Yuan is indeed powerful. Not only did they hit here, they even hit the other side of the sea. The whole world is under Meng Yuan's iron hooves tremble under my breath, otherwise these people would not call them the whip of God and become frightened by the sound of it.”
Zhu Biao raised his head and glanced toward the east. He didn't know how many thousands of miles away from the capital it was, but it was still able to have such power here even after it was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty for decades. Zhu Biao was fascinated by how powerful the Yuan Dynasty was in its heyday.
Then another feeling of pride suddenly rose from his chest. Zhu Biao stood up straight, like a tripod standing between heaven and earth. Perhaps he was telling himself and everyone else, or perhaps he was telling heaven and earth. He solemnly said: " The former Yuan Dynasty was indeed powerful, and countless kingdoms in the West were afraid of it. But my Ming Dynasty is not bad either, and today the Ming Dynasty has also come to this place."
"What your Highness said is true. Not only will our Ming Dynasty be no worse than Qian Yuan, but it will also become stronger and stronger. It will definitely be better than Qian Yuan." Han Du nodded in agreement.
Zhu Biao nodded solemnly, turned to Shi Si and ordered: "Since she is a princess, let's ask her what happened to that person just now?"
Shi Si asked the slave girl carefully this time. Then he said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, according to what she said, she is indeed a princess of the Mamluk dynasty. But her father, the Sultan, has an illegitimate brother besides her. Originally, she was the inheritor of this dynasty. But she was taken away by her brother in despicable ways. But I don’t know why her brother didn’t kill her, but just demoted her into a slave and sold her.”
Zhu Biao suddenly accepted too much information that was contrary to his attempt, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He turned his head and asked Han Du, "Women inherit, and illegitimate children can also inherit? What are these and what are they?"
In Zhu Biao's philosophy, women have no right to inherit at all. The same goes for illegitimate children, which will not be recognized by mainstream concepts at all. But here, he actually has the right to inherit in a grand manner? Or even turn against the guest and drive out the original heir?
Han Du didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say vaguely: "Maybe, this is the custom here."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked Shi Si: "Have you ever asked about the national strength of this dynasty?"
"Of course," Shi Si nodded clearly and immediately said, "This dynasty is not strong, with only 40,000 to 50,000 troops."
After hearing this, Tang Ding asked with some confusion: "Did you make a mistake? Or were you deceived by her? Didn't she just say that there are forty emirs in this dynasty? Just calculated like that , which has about 100,000 troops."
Zhu Biao nodded lightly, quite agreeing with Tang Ding's concerns. You must know that there is a huge difference between a force of 40,000 to 50,000 and a force of 100,000. For conflicts that have already occurred, the clearer the better.
Shi Si responded to Tang Ding with a smile and said: "I was also confused about this, and asked her specifically. Her explanation was that the person just now was one of the strongest among the forty people, and the others There are simply not as many troops as him. But whether she is telling the truth or a lie, I can't tell for a while."
