In order to please Zhu Han, Zhou Gushan found three hundred beauties from overseas. This news was not a secret to a certain extent.
After knowing the news, many people did not sneer at Zhou Gushan, but looked forward to it very much.
As for the reason, it is very simple... Zhou Gushan found three hundred beauties, and they cannot all belong to Zhu Han. Zhu Han picked out the beauties he was interested in, and Zhou Gushan couldn't keep the rest for himself. He must have It's separated.
】
Zhu Han likes overseas beauties, and his actions have led to many people falling in love with overseas beauties. Moreover, overseas human trafficking does not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so it can be regarded as a business.
Zhou Gushan is doing quite well, and many businessmen are also doing population business.
For example, Kunlun slaves from Nanyang are very popular. They are tall and fat and are good at work. Women from Nanyang are gentler and work more delicately. It is also a good choice to buy them as maids and servants.
Of course, there will be bloodshed, but neither Zhu Han nor Zhu Yuanzhang intends to hold people accountable. They can do whatever they want... This is only for the overseas population, but if someone dares to traffic people in the Ming Dynasty, Trafficking in Han people is an unforgivable crime.
Catch the human traffickers, skin them directly and fill them with grass to light up sky lanterns. Even the most terrifying Ling Chi can use them.
It is okay to traffic in overseas people, but it is absolutely not allowed to sell Han people. This is Zhu Han's rebellion!
Therefore, many businessmen started the business of human trafficking across the ocean. They captured people from overseas and sent them directly to the Ming Dynasty. They sent them wherever they were needed, thereby making a lot of money.
These were all carried out with Zhu Han's acquiescence, so more and more people began to become unscrupulous.
Zhou Gushan's family has a great business and looks down on the human trafficking business. He just chooses some beauties to make Zhu Han happy.
Did you see it? The main thing is to make Zhu Han happy.
Zhou Gushan held a banquet in the evening, so he naturally sent his carefully selected beauties to Zhu Han for tasting. Zhu Han only picked two, one was a princess from India, and the other was a beauty from Japan. They all had yellow skin. , but she is beautiful, especially the Indian princess, with her big gray eyes, which is particularly attractive.
As for the beauty on the island, she is relatively cold and doesn't like to smile. Her eyebrows frown from time to time. Although she looks only eighteen years old, she has a kind of "widow" sorrow, which makes people pity her. It's not that she can't laugh, it's just that the feeling of weakness and helplessness is inherent in her.
The most important thing is that the two of them speak Chinese very fluently, which is why Zhu Han is willing to choose them.
"Lao Zhou, you did a good job."
Zhu Han also put down his false clothes at this time, and gave Zhou Gushan a thumbs up: "The two of them belong to me, and you can handle the rest as you see fit, but it must be a serious business, and you don't want to engage in profit transfer." Anyone who wants to buy a set can buy it. If anyone wants to take it by force, just tell me and I will take care of them."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I won't have to worry about it."
Zhou Gushan also hugged one in his arms, which can be regarded as one of the four irons.
However, it is quite exciting for Zhou Gushan, the father-in-law, to take Zhu Han, the nominal 'son-in-law', to find a woman.
It was a lively night of eating and drinking. In the end, Zhu Han left with the two beauties. Until the next morning... Zhu Han didn't even know their names.
Zhu Han slept until about three o'clock in the morning, and then he opened his eyes when he felt something moving in his arms. The Indian princess was like a kitten, curled up in Zhu Han's arms, looking at the tears that dried on her face and the happiness revealed in her eyebrows. , it can be seen that she was very happy last night.
The other one... the same thing.
After they woke up, Zhu Han knew their names. One was Karina and the other was Sakai Shuizhen.
"Come on, call daddy."
Karina looked at Zhu Han and widened her charming eyes: "Dad!"
"..."
So boring.
Zhu Han glanced at Sakai Shuiquan next to her. She seemed to know what Zhu Han meant when he asked her to shout. She lowered her head shyly and murmured like a kitten: "Dad, dad..."
Assi...
Zhu Han felt that it was necessary for him to find a Korean beauty, so that Japan and Korea could form a series.
After completing the mission, Zhu Han did not continue to stay in Hangzhou. He just asked Zhou Gushan to prepare a carriage and take Jia Lu to respond to the sky.
…
In Rome, outside the Byzantine capital, the war has reached its final critical moment.
Wang Baobao looked at the Ming army outside the city with an expression as if he was mourning for his heir.
The Ming Dynasty's army did not attack immediately, but adopted the method of soil work and dug tunnels outside the city.
In order to counter the Ming Dynasty's artillery, Wang Baobao only surpassed it in the range, and was completely behind in other places.
For example, now, Lan Yu is doing soil work under the city wall in order to break the weak position in terms of shooting range. Wang Baobao's artillery is mounted on the city wall, but how big can the city wall be? How much can he move?
For example, in order to deal with the artillery threat of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Baobao developed his own artillery that could shoot 5,000 steps away. However, the Ming Dynasty's forward position was at a distance of 4,000 steps, and Wang Baobao could not hit it. If the Ming Dynasty's forward position reached 3,000 steps, , then I’m sorry, the Ming Dynasty’s artillery can be pulled up and blasted against the city wall.
The only way now is to prevent Daming from carrying out tunnel operations so easily. He cannot go out to the city to fight in the field, so he can only rely on artillery bombardment on the city wall.
However, the tunnels of the Ming Dynasty were dug in a very systematic way, in an S shape, and the excavated floating soil was filled on both sides of the tunnel. Today's artillery shells are not the explosive shells of later generations. The lethality caused by a large iron ball is limited, and there is floating soil. The buffer provided, unless the shell hits the tunnel, the threat to the Ming soldiers is almost zero.
In addition, the lack of gunpowder and cannonballs also prevented Wang Baobao from clearing the ground with artillery to solve the tunnel operations of the Ming Dynasty. Using artillery fire to stop the tunnel operations of the Ming Dynasty was like using cannons to kill mosquitoes. It depended on luck. Besides, the Byzantine kings did not only have one city wall, they had On all four sides, if the Ming army carried out tunnel operations on all four sides at the same time, how many artillery pieces would Wang Baobao have to build?
Wang Baobao on the city wall gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers of the Ming army who were digging tunnels under the city wall with discomfort. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not in a hurry. They just dug tunnels and did not rush to attack. When in danger, they hid in the tunnels. Wang Baobao did not There is a way, and he also knows that if Sergeant Daming's tunnel operations are not stopped, it will be a slow death for him.
Timur said next to him: "We can't go on like this. We must find a way to fight back, a strong counterattack!"
But how to fight back and what method to use, Timur could not tell.
"If you really have a way, you should do it!"
Wang Baobao's head hurt, but there was no solution. After thinking for a long time, Wang Baobao finally thought of a solution that was not a solution: "Catapult, use catapult! Artillery can't do it, but catapult can. Call the craftsmen in the city and let them Build a catapult!”
A large catapult can be placed on the city wall. It can be thrown three thousand steps from a high position. If you pour kerosene on the stone and light it, it is enough for a Ming sergeant to drink a pot.
"Catapult? What a great idea!"
Timur also thought Wang Baobao's idea was a good one and immediately said: "I'll go right away!"
Soon, Timur returned, and he said to Wang Baobao: "We have found craftsmen, but... they will build very slowly, and there is no suitable wood in the city."
"..."
Wang Baobao just wanted to demolish his palace, but he couldn't do it after thinking about it.
It’s not that Wang Baobao is reluctant to part with the palace, but because the palace is a symbol of power. What will other people think if the palace is demolished? Doesn't this clearly tell them that now they are in such difficulty that they demolish the palace? This kind of thing has no effect other than damaging morale.
Wang Baobao said: "Use iron, isn't iron enough? Do you have to use wood? Let them use their brains to think of a way! They are craftsmen, do you want me to teach them how to do it?"
"..."
This was the first time that Timur saw Wang Baobao so angry. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away!"
Wang Baobao didn't say anything else, but kept looking outside the city. Suddenly... Wang Baobao realized that even if they built the catapult, it would be meaningless. No matter how fast they built it, it would not be as fast as the Ming Dynasty's tunnel work.
When he and Timur were talking just now, Wang Baobao got angry because he was agitated, but after thinking that he could not be Daming's opponent in any way, Wang Baobao relaxed instead.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!
Wang Baobao slapped the city wall. He didn't want to stay on the city wall anymore, so he turned around and left from the city wall without any arrangements.
When the artillery fire roars, it will be his memorial day.
Wang Baobao has decided that he will die with the destruction of the city.
At this time, Wang Baobao just wanted to return to the palace to meet Empress Dowager Qi and her children... Of course, Wang Baobao also thought of Zhao Min. It would be great if Zhao Min was here at this time. I don't know how she lived in the Ming Dynasty. Sample.
…
Zhu Han is not at the front line now. If he were, everyone would praise Lan Yu's tunnel work.
Isn’t this special girl the Ming Dynasty version of Li Yunlong? When Li Yunlong attacked the Yamazaki Brigade, he also used soil work methods to dig tunnels to shorten the attack distance. Lan Yu used tunnel operations to avoid Wang Baobao's artillery fire, and at the same time he could pull his own artillery into the tunnels to attack The city walls were bombarded.
Lan Yu is really a bit of a genius.
"Hahaha, I can't accept it. I really can't accept it."
Zhang Dingbian did not expect that Lan Yu solved the difficulty caused by artillery range with only one move of tunnel fighting. This made Zhang Dingbian admire Lan Yu very much: "The King of England and His Majesty sent General Lan to India, so I guessed You are not an idle person, you didn’t take any action before, but now I can see your level as soon as you do it, you are better than me and Lao Zhou!”
"..."
Although what Zhang Dingbian said was true, after Lan Yu heard it, she felt that Zhang Dingbian was swearing.
Only now can I see my abilities. Doesn't this mean that my previous martial arts skills were not worth mentioning in front of Zhang Dingbian?
"This is a good thing!"
Lan Yu was too lazy to worry about this with Zhang Dingbian. Meng Yuan was about to be destroyed. As long as Wang Baobao was captured, Lan Yu would have successfully accomplished his set goal.
It's just a pity that I have to go back after the war.
Although Lan Yu missed home, he preferred to be on the battlefield. He just didn't know what combat tasks Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang would arrange for him after returning this time.
Thinking of combat missions, Lan Yu couldn't help but think of Zhang Songnian who led a 1,400-carrying battalion to destroy the Kingdom of Aragon. This guy destroyed a country... If Zhang Songnian hadn't done this, Lan Yu would have destroyed Wang Baobao. In the future, he will continue to go west to find trouble with Pedro IV, but now that Pedro IV has been sent back to India to be imprisoned, and the king of the Valois dynasty has no backbone, Lan Yu can only give up after thinking about it. .
Lan Yu first proposed the tunnel operation. After using it on the battlefield, they found that the tunnel operation method was good. Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxinye followed the gourd and started digging tunnels under the other two city walls, but Lan Yu still reminded Zhang Ding. Bian: "If there is a chance to capture Wang Baobao alive, capture him alive, don't kill him."
"I know, I know."
Zhang Dingbian pointed to the top of his head, "As the uncle of His Royal Highness, we can't let His Royal Highness's backyard catch fire, can we?"
"Hmph! Why is there a fire in the backyard? His Royal Highness is too soft-hearted. If you ask me, just kill him. It's not like His Royal Highness has never seen a woman before. She...she just followed the King of England a long time ago."
Lan Yu snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Min.
I feel that Zhao Min caught Zhu Han's weakness in protecting the calf and caused trouble for Zhu Han.
If it weren't for Zhu Han's character, Lan Yu would have cut Wang Baobao into pieces!
Zhang Dingbian and Lan Yu had similar thoughts. They both felt that Zhu Han was too soft-hearted, but the more so, the more willing they were to work for Zhu Han. Who doesn't want to have a big brother who can take the lead to protect the calf?
After thinking about it, Zhang Dingbian asked: "How about we send an envoy over? Let him send a message to Wang Baobao and tell him that if he surrenders, his life can be saved?"
If it was just to save his life, why would Wang Baobao persist until now?
Life means nothing to Wang Baobao.
However, Zhang Dingbian's proposal was not unreasonable. Lan Yu said to Zhang Dingbian: "Call the captured envoy over and ask him to go back and deliver the message to Wang Baobao. If he agrees, open the city gate and walk out." Surrender, if he doesn’t agree, we will attack the city! Break his city!”
"also."
…
Wang Baobao returned to the palace, feeling happy. He lay on the bed and began to sleep without talking to Empress Dowager Qi or taking off his clothes.
He is too tired.
Empress Dowager Qi seemed to have thought of something. Looking at the tired Wang Baobao, she did not bother him. Instead, she found a blanket for him, covered Wang Baobao, and then quietly exited the room. She had already had a premonition that AD It's over, and all that's left for them now is just a little bit of time to survive.
What does it matter?
Thinking of the invincible Ming army, Empress Dowager Qi felt even more grateful to Wang Baobao.
If it weren't for Wang Baobao, Dayuan would have been gone long ago, and they wouldn't have survived until now...
It’s just that it’s just gone, so unwilling.
Even if she lives a mediocre life, Queen Mother Qi doesn't want to die now. She still has children and Wang Baobao. With them around, Queen Mother Qi will live a very comfortable life even in ordinary days.
Of course, this is just the life that Empress Dowager Qi longs for.
