"Southern Europe is very empty now. This is the time when our Kingdom of Ningxi can take the opportunity to expand its territory. As long as His Majesty the King is willing not to force the local people to accept Chineseization, which is easy to conquer, I am afraid that many principalities will take the initiative to join."
At this time, Ningxi King Zhu Changxun did not know that the Ming Dynasty had sent special military forces to punish him.
And now he is being instigated by Dialon to send troops to southern Europe and open up new territories.
Yu Guozhu also added fuel to the flames: "This is indeed an opportunity, and the court won't care about it anyway!"
Zhu Changxun knew that there were many wealthy places in southern Europe, especially some nobles who had accumulated a lot of wealth for hundreds of years, waiting for him to seize them.
He, who has always been greedy, was naturally very moved, so he said: "You know, I have never cared about whether the king is a bastard or a bastard!
Just like what Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said: 'Since ancient times, people have valued China and despised barbarians. I only love them the same way';
It can be seen that doing this has always been the virtue that a wise king should have. How can I not imitate it?
According to the king's order, troops are sent to Corsica. First, take the island closest to our Ningxi Kingdom! And told the nobles there that the king would not force them to obey Wang Hua. "
"yes!"
Next, the Kingdom of Ningxi really sent troops to Corsica, and then occupied the entire Genoa, and then accepted the surrender of the Principality of Savoy.
Zhu Cizhuo, who also held a military conference on the Western Expedition in Toulouse, France, to discuss how to annex southern Europe as soon as possible, soon learned about the sudden expansion of the Ningxi Kingdom in southern Europe.
Zhu Cizhuo was naturally very angry about this, and immediately sent Dong Hanchen as a representative to take people to take a boat to Barcelona to meet Zhu Changxun.
"His Royal Highness King Ningxi, the fiefdoms assigned to you by the imperial court are only Barcelona and its surrounding areas and Sardinia, but you have rashly sent troops to Corsica and the Principality of Savoy. This is obviously against the imperial principles and national laws. You need to deal with this Please explain, otherwise don’t blame us, His Highness the Fifth Highness, for impeaching you!”
Dong Hanchen warned Zhu Changxun.
Zhu Changxun did not dare to directly confront the Ming court, nor did he dare to ignore the opinions of the fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo.
After all, Zhu Cizhuo now has millions of troops.
There are more than 300,000 troops that can be mobilized for mobile operations, and most of them are still in Toulouse and Marseille, not far from his Ningxi Kingdom.
Therefore, Zhu Changxun put down his posture and explained very politely: "Dong Gong, please calm down. I am just helping His Highness the Fifth Prince. I am not trying to occupy these places. When the soldiers from the imperial court come, we will naturally retreat." of."
"Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness, you should retreat now, don't be disrespectful!"
Dong Hanchen replied.
"Yes, let's retreat now, retreat now."
Zhu Changxun had no choice but to agree quickly.
But after Dong Hanchen left, Zhu Changluo turned down his face, slapped the table hard and said, "Old guy! It's just a dog that works for his Zhu Changluo family. Why are you so arrogant!"
Dong Hanchen indeed did not take vassal kings like Zhu Changxun seriously.
After all, the fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo he followed can now be said to be a strong contender for the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he has almost the most powerful army in the world.
And as Zhu Cizhuo's confidant, he naturally has the capital to be proud.
The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
Of course he is no exception.
In fact, many vassal kings were already fawning over him.
After Dong Hanchen completed the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Cizhuo, he came to the dock and prepared to leave by boat.
But at this time, a group of Xiyi soldiers suddenly came and surrounded him.
The leaders were Dialon and Yu Guozhu.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Several guards Dong Hanchen brought with him were shot to the ground on the spot.
Dong Hanchen himself was greatly surprised when he saw this: "Who sent you? Are they Zhu Changcheng's people?! Okay, he dares to hire private soldiers!"
boom!
Dong Hanchen was shot in the leg.
Then, Yu Guozhu blew the smoke from the gun, walked towards Dong Hanchen, and then chopped off his right hand that was about to draw the gun.
"ah!"
Dong Hanchen screamed.
At this time, Yu Guozhu stepped on his wound, and sneered: "Instructor Dong! Did you call our king's name casually? It can be seen that it is not a pity for you to die! Retreat, how could you retreat? My master wants to make the king the true emperor of Europe."
Dong Hanchen gritted his teeth and said, "Wishful thinking!"
Dialon drew his sword and walked towards Dong Hanchen. As he walked, he said: "You hateful Easterners! It is you who have brought our European countries to the brink of extinction! I must kill you for God today!"
As he spoke, Dialon picked up Dong Hanchen's head, and then cut off Dong Hanchen's head with his hand while smiling proudly.
Dong Hanchen twitched in pain.
After all, he graduated from the Ming Dynasty Lecture Hall, experienced military campaigns in the north and south, and performed particularly well in political affairs. He never expected that his military career would end in this way.
Bang!
There was another clang.
Then, there was still a clang.
…
Zhu Cizhuo smashed all the porcelain in the room. In the end, he couldn't vent his anger, so he overturned the desk and all the cigarette cases, glasses, maps, pencils, etc. on the table to the ground.
Dong Hanchen's death made him very upset now.
Although he also had some objections to Dong Hanchen's behavior of encouraging him to secretly accumulate strength and plot to seize the throne.
But this does not mean that he does not regard Dong Hanchen as his good friend.
"Is King Ningxi going to rebel?!"
Zhu Cizhuo asked loudly, and then said: "Instruct all the armies to go to Barcelona first. I must first get rid of the traitor Zhu Changxun!"
"Your Highness, calm down and don't attack your own vassal country rashly! Unless the emperor gives permission."
At this time, Yue Gong, a member of the army, advised.
Zhu Cizhuo therefore said: "Then get the book immediately!"
Fang Yuegong continued: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Ningxi Kingdom dares to do such a treasonous thing, and he will not survive for a few days, because the eldest prince and his royal army are about to arrive in Toulouse!"
Zhu Cizhuo nodded and pointed at Fang Yuegong: "How long until they arrive?"
…
"Brother, you are finally here!"
As soon as he learned that Zhu Ciwei and his party were not far from Toulouse, Zhu Cizhuo immediately came out with his cavalry guards to greet them, but he frowned in excitement and joy.
"What, who made you unhappy?"
Zhu Ciwei noticed it and hurriedly asked Zhu Cizhuo.
Zhu Cizhuo nodded solemnly: "I'm waiting for you to come to justice!"
"Your Majesty the Fifth Prince!"
Zhu Yousong, Zhu Youlang and others also came over to greet Zhu Cizhuo.
"Hello, uncles!"
Zhu Cizhuo also paid tribute to these vassal kings.
The new king Zhu Cixiang who came with Zhu Cizhuo also paid tribute to these Zhu Ciwei and other royal relatives.
On this lavender-covered grassland in southern France, more than a dozen descendants of the Ming royal family gathered together.
And none of these people would have thought that in history, they would be thrown into a frying pan or strangled to death by a bowstring as a result of the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty more than thirty years ago.
Zhu Youlang, who was strangled to death by Wu Sangui with a bowstring in history, came over at this time and said: "Your Highness, what else are you dissatisfied with? Most of Europe has been defeated by you!"
