Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1212, the intestines are regretted

East Africa, Ethiopia on the roof of Africa, a large army is marching towards Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

The king of Chu was riding on a tall Arabian war horse, with a serious face and no smile at all.

Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, but he is not happy at all.

Because the Ethiopian King Leonard sent people to drive hundreds of cattle and sheep to the state of Chu to propose marriage, the king of Chu has now become the laughing stock of everyone. Not only the subjects of the state of Chu are talking about this matter, but also people in the entire Indian Ocean region The colonies and vassal states are all laughing at the King of Chu.

For this matter, the King of Chu even wanted to marry his beloved daughter in advance, but no matter what, after everyone heard about it, no one came to propose marriage. same thing.

This made the king of Chu even more annoyed. A sense of humiliation kept him from eating and sleeping well. He threatened to kill Onard with his own hands and destroy Ethiopia himself.

For this matter, the king of Chu wrote letters to Son of Heaven one after another, crying to Son of Heaven about his experiences, and begging Son of Heaven to make decisions for himself.

At the same time, they are constantly giving gifts to the Red Navy of the Ming Empire, hoping to get the help of the Red Navy. It is difficult to defeat Ethiopia with the Chu army alone.

With the unremitting efforts of the King of Chu, Da Tianzi agreed to the request of the King of Chu out of the consideration of maintaining the dignity of the royal family, and issued an order to the Red Navy to assist the Kingdom of Chu in attacking Ethiopia.

So there was this battle of honor, not for land, nor for any resources, but for the honor of the Princess of Chu and the dignity of the Ming royal family.

"How long until we reach Addis Ababa?"

The King of Chu was riding on his horse with a blank expression on his face. He was clearly in a bad mood. He looked at the area ahead.

The mountains and rivers here are undulating, the weather is cool, and the scenery is beautiful, which is very rare in the surrounding area.

This area is located in the equatorial area, and most of the areas are hot and dry all year round, but I did not expect it to be so cool here. Of course, the main reason is that the altitude here is very high, so the temperature is very high all year round. Cool and comfortable.

"My lord, we will arrive in Addis Ababa tomorrow."

At the side of the King of Chu, the minister Liu Jiang immediately replied.

"Tomorrow~"

The King of Chu nodded slightly. He wished he could reach the capital of the Ethiopian Empire now, and then wash the city with blood and wash away his shame with blood.

"The only worry now is whether that Naod will escape."

"escape?"

"Even if he fled to the ends of the earth, I would send people to hunt him down."

King Chu said coldly.

He is gnashing his teeth with hatred for this Naod now, wishing he could scrape him with a thousand knives.

My prince of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king of the Chu Kingdom, is extraordinarily noble, and my daughter has been like a jewel in the palm of my hand since she was a child, and she was afraid of melting it in her mouth.

But this Naod, without looking at what he is, even sent people to drive hundreds of cattle and sheep to propose marriage, making himself and his daughter a joke of the whole Ming Dynasty, so that even now There are no more marriage proposals.

How can the king of Chu not be angry?
"Where's Qin Yuan?"

Anger turned to anger, but the King of Chu was very aware of his situation, thought for a while and looked around, but did not see the figure of Qin Yuan, the general of Chu State.

"My lord, General Qin is at the side of General Mao Lun Mao, following General Mao to learn the marching and fighting methods of the Ming army."

Liu Jiang also hurriedly replied.

"That's right~"

"It is most correct to rely on everyone to run, rely on the mountain to fall, and rely on yourself."

"Send someone to tell Qin Yuan, study hard, the Great Ming Master sweeps all directions, and is unmatched in strength, we Chu State must study hard, and we will build a powerful Chu army in the future."

King Chu showed a smile and nodded in relief.

Only when he has truly become the lord of a country can he clearly know how difficult it is to be the lord of a country.

When I was in Daming, I always felt that Emperor Hongzhi did very poorly. If I were to be the emperor myself, I would definitely do better than Emperor Hongzhi.

When he really became the king of a country, it was just a small country of Chu, and he had experienced such humiliation in the barbaric land of East Africa. Only then did he understand that being the king of a country is definitely not that easy.

He clearly realized that in this barbaric land, only guns are the truth, and only with a powerful army in his hands can he deter the barbarians everywhere and maintain his dignity and status.

……

On the other side, in the royal palace of Addis Ababa, the capital of the Ethiopian Empire, Naod sat on the throne, holding a gemstone scepter symbolizing power, and looked at the officials below with no expression on his face.

At this time, the ministers had been divided into two factions who were quarreling. One group advocated to abandon Addis Ababa immediately, avoid the edge of the Ming people, and move the capital to other places. At the same time, it also secretly accused Naod of not For his own selfishness, he should send someone to humiliate Chu, otherwise the current situation would not have happened.

The army of the Ming Dynasty suppressed the territory, and where they passed, not a single blade of grass grew. Under the bloody slaughter, more than a dozen cities have been slaughtered by the Ming people.

Under the banner of avenging shame, the Ming people did not intend to let any Ethiopian go. Under the powerful soldiers, they were invincible and invincible.

Although the Ethiopian Empire organized two large armies to advance and block them, under the combined attack of powerful muskets, cannons and cavalry, it was like paper, without any effect.

At this moment, the Ming people are only one day away from the capital. Tomorrow, the Ming people will come to the city of Addis Ababa. By that time, it may be too late to move.

The other faction is Naod's staunch supporters. They advocate relying on a strong city and fighting the Ming people to the end.

People in this school believe that Naod is a direct descendant of the noble King Solomon and Queen Sheba, and his status is extremely noble, enough to be worthy of the princess of Chu State, and he has no intention of insulting the princess of Chu State.

The state of Chu acted like this, and they looked down on His Majesty Naod extremely, and they looked down on Ethiopians.

In addition, they are killing wantonly in Ethiopia, which is more cruel and terrifying than many surrounding sultanates. Ethiopians should unite and fight against the invaders together. The blood debt must be paid with blood, and the shame suffered is even greater. It should be washed with blood.

Moreover, although the army of the Ming people is powerful, they are not many in number, and there are only [-] people in total. They still have a chance to defeat the Ming people by relying on their strong city.

Of course, this school has another point of view, that is faith.

The state of Chu promotes Buddhism. Once the state of Chu conquers Ethiopia, people in the entire country will be forced to give up Christianity and convert to Buddhism.

This is something they absolutely cannot accept.

They have all been fighting the surrounding sultanates for hundreds of years for their faith.

The two factions are constantly arguing, and the saliva between each other can be spit on each other's face.

Naod was expressionless and was constantly thinking.

It has been at war with many surrounding sultanates for hundreds of years, which has given Ethiopians a lot of self-confidence.

In addition, in the previous period, Chu State did not have much reaction, which made Naod feel that although the Ming people are famous, they may not be so powerful.

However, when the army of Daming people really rushed in, he realized that he was really wrong.

The Ming army and the armies of many surrounding sultanates did not exist in the same dimension at all. Although only [-] troops came in, they were invincible wherever the [-] troops passed.

He stopped [-] troops back and forth to stop them, but all of them went without return. They were no match for the Ming people at all. In front of the powerful muskets, cannons and cavalry, they boasted that they were an extremely powerful army. does not make any difference.

At this moment, his intestines are green with regret.

The [-] army was wiped out, even if the Ming people turned around and went back now, Ethiopia would fall into turmoil. The people who were blaming themselves in front of them saw this.

Ethiopia is also divided into many tribes, and there are many conflicts among them. Now that the Ming army has lost another [-] troops, these conflicts have also erupted all at once.

The dissatisfaction with Naod accumulated in the past has turned into a quarrel between the two sides at this moment. Fortunately, Naod has always firmly controlled the army of the empire, otherwise someone might have launched a coup by now.

In addition to the hidden dangers inside, there are also many worries outside.

Even if the Ming people retreat, the Ethiopian Empire, which has suffered heavy losses, will definitely be invaded again by the surrounding sultanates. These sultanates have always wanted to seize Ethiopia, kill all the Christians here, or let everyone change their minds. letter.

The [-] troops have been wiped out, and the remaining power of the Ethiopian Empire is no longer enough to deter the enemies in all directions.

He really regretted it, regretted that he shouldn't provoke the Daming people.

Originally, the situation was very good, because the emergence of the Chu State involved the power of some sultanates in the east, allowing him to deal with the sultanates in the north and east more calmly.

But who would know that just because he proposed marriage to Chu State, he would incur such a heavy blow and loss. It can be said that if the Ethiopian Empire is destroyed, the responsibility will definitely fall on his own head.

"Ming people~"

Leonard closed his eyes. During this period of time, he has been studying the Ming people and the Ming Empire. Judging from the situation he has now, he finally understands why the Ming people have such a huge reaction.

Because Daming people are even more proud and confident than them!
