Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty - v2 Chapter 1807

  Chapter 1807 Defeated like a mountain

  For Prince Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan.

  Military blows, they neither understand nor are willing to understand.

  The firearms and footwork of the new army are enough for the prince and Fang Jifan to sit back and relax.

   There is absolutely no army in this world that can match it.

  Zhu Zaimo is a very smart person.

  He keenly felt that the battle against the Ottomans was fundamentally… definitely not military.

   Rather, it is the work of comfort.

   Only by appeasing people’s hearts can Daming gain a foothold in Ottoman.

  With an army of 200,000, it is possible to defeat all Ottoman troops in one fell swoop.

   But it is almost impossible to rule this huge empire that spans three continents with 200,000 soldiers and horses armed to the teeth.

   Therefore, the prince issued edicts one after another, strictly prohibiting any violation of ordinary people. It is required that there is no crime in the autumn and that order will be restored quickly.

   And this point… is not difficult for the new army. On the one hand, the rigorous training ensures their military discipline, and on the other hand, the relatively generous salary is enough to keep them from looting during wartime.

  After Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan arrived in Baku, Zhu Zaimo immediately began to meet all kinds of people in the city, but all the influential people in Baku city came!

  Zhu Zaimo talked one by one in detail, and roughly understood the situation here, and then… made arrangements according to the actual situation.

Originally, the people here were in panic, the Ottoman army retreated too quickly, and they thought that what would meet them next would be a killing as usual, but who would have expected that everything would be as usual, the new The rulers are not too bad, and even willing to listen to their ideas.

  Although Fang Jifan came, he was just a bystander from the beginning to the end. He seemed to have nothing to do, everyone around him was busy, but he was very leisurely. The weather has turned warm, and Baku is especially hot.

  So…Fang Jifan had to let the guards discard his Persian blanket, and naturally…the coal for burning the earth dragon was no longer needed!

  Of course, I still want iced watermelon.

   Clothing materials as thin as a cicada’s wings, of course, there are also.

  Every trip, before boarding the carriage, several ice basins must be placed in the carriage to dissipate the heat in the carriage and make it cool before boarding.

   From time to time, Zhu Zaimo wants to ask Fang Jifan for his opinion. He doesn’t know whether he is doing well, or what he thinks is good, so he hopes to get Fang Jifan’s praise.

  Fang Jifan’s performance…is still indifferent.

   This is a matter for His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness already has a strategy in mind, so why ask me?

“Your Highness, I’m just a wandering wild crane, only wine and women… No, only “Spring and Autumn” and “Book of Rites” can accompany me to sleep. I don’t want to ask about foreign affairs anymore. I will never give up on your majesty. But… I don’t want to do this, and now, His Highness is here, His Highness can deal with these matters, right and wrong are all in His Highness’s heart, why do you need to ask me?”

  When Fang Jifan said these words calmly.

  Zhu Zaimo’s heart seemed to twitch, but his eyes were a little moist.

  In this world… I am afraid that only the mentor treats me the best. Everything he does… must hope that he can become a promising king in the future.

  Even my father…is far inferior to my mentor.

   “The student understands.” Zhu Zaimo took a step back and bowed cautiously, as if he was being taught.

  The offensive of the First Army was particularly fierce.

  In fact… the entire Ottomans were simply unable to organize effective resistance.

  Their army…before they were assembled, they had already suffered a head-on blow.

  The ridiculous city wall is just like paper in front of the artillery.

  Actually… no artillery fire was needed to break the walls.

   As long as the cannon fires, the city gates must be opened, and the whole city surrenders!

  By the time the news spread that the Ming army had committed no crimes in autumn, raising and surrendering had become all the rage!

Before the army arrived, the city was ready to surrender. From Kaxia to ordinary people, they did what they should do. They invited the local Han Confucians to learn the surrender ceremony from them. Immediately afterwards, prepare to embroider the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty, prepare the thorns, and prepare to surrender the watch.

  Life inevitably requires a sense of ritual, which is human empathy.

  The local civil and military officials, parroting the tongue of the Confucianism over and over again, recited the words of surrender in Chinese repeatedly, and corrected their accents again and again, studying very seriously!

  Although everyone thinks it seems a bit wrong to do this, but it has come to this point. In the face of the desire to survive, it seems… I have no longer cared about entanglement with conscience and moral issues.

   After all…it’s not a meal.

   I have to say that the local Confucianism museum played a big role.

   After all, with the spread of Han culture, everyone has a general understanding of Han dialect and customs of the Han people.

  This makes everyone have no fear of the unknown about this sudden enemy.

  Many local Confucian scholars…At first, they were still struggling with the issue of the monarch and ministers, but then they slapped their heads and thought it through. We are the ministers of whoever is the monarch, so we let go of the psychological burden without hesitation.

  From fear at the beginning, to entanglement, to anxiety, to vague expectations, and finally…becoming irritable and hopeless, the general process of the new road, in the end, it becomes why you haven’t come yet? Didn’t you hear that the Andaka next door has opened its gates and surrendered?

   Wait for the scouts of the new army to arrive, not for the army to come.

   Immediately afterwards, the flag on the top of the city was changed, which was very eye-catching!

   Immediately, the local nobles, merchants, and Confucian scholars, all naked and burdened with thorns, opened the gate of the city and knelt down to wait.

   This scene was unexpected in the eyes of the scouts, and at first everyone didn’t even dare to approach.

OK? It all looks like Zhuge Liang’s empty city plan.

   Could it be a false surrender?

   But in the end, everyone was safe and sound, so naturally they became bolder, and seven or eight scouts appeared, and they were able to take down a city.

  The army was defeated like a mountain…

  The situation deteriorated much faster than expected.

at the same time…

  Train after train…the new students were sent to Yumen Pass, and then…they arrived here on mules and horses with the logistics supply team.

  In fact, the prince Zhu Zaimo felt that he was incapable of splitting up, and the manpower in his hands was really not enough.

   Zhu Zaimo didn’t dare to fully believe the Confucian scholars who came to Ottoman, nor did he dare to use them. He only asked them to do some preaching and communication.

  The new students…became very precious.

  They immediately … like beans, scattered in all the occupied areas, ordered them to start investigations, let them start to understand the hearts of the people, and make statistics.

Ottoman is completely different from Ming Dynasty. There are many tribes here, just like Baijiayi, all kinds of fabrics are forcibly stitched together. They believe in different gods, have different customs, and even perform different rituals. If you want to truly establish a rule, you must thoroughly understand them and understand the demands of different people.

  …

  Recommend a book “Host”, which parasitizes in the form of cells. You must choose a host carefully. No one thought that civilization would be destroyed in war. I am a barbarian and a human being.
