Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1758, Daming Black Earth Province
In the city of Moscow, teams of Ming troops marched neatly into this ancient city.

The people in the city looked at the Ming army on the street through the crack of the door, and they were all trembling with fear.

The army led by their Grand Duke Vasily III and Lithuanian Grand Duke Ostrogsky was completely defeated. Just outside Moscow, under the watchful eyes of countless people, their defeat was a complete mess.

Facing the Ming army with terrifying cannons and rifles, they still thought about relying on a dense formation to attack and shoot at each other, but they failed miserably.

Under the attack of the Ming people's explosive bullets and advanced rifles, there is almost no suspense. In just one battle, more than 20 troops were completely killed by the Ming people, and not even one tenth of them escaped. .

Not even Vasily III and Ostrogsky were able to escape. They were chased and killed by the cavalry of the Ming people, and they were chased and killed by the Ming people driving large trucks and cars. In the end, they still failed to escape. go.

The sky has changed and fallen!
For the rest of the people in the city, it was like the end of the world at this moment. Here and there, the Ming army brutally drove all the nobles out of the mansions of the nobles.

The women became slaves, and they would be distributed as spoils of war to the soldiers of the Ming army, while the men were doomed to die. The Ming people seemed to have no intention of keeping these nobles at all.

The gunfire of continuous executions resounded throughout the city, and all the gold, silver, jewelry, etc. in the nobles' homes were searched out and placed on the street, which made countless people's eyes widen I have never seen so many gold and silver jewels.

It is also hard to believe that in such a barren country, these nobles can be so rich. Boxes of gold coins, silver coins, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry make people's eyes dazzled.

Everywhere in the churches, all the clergy were roughly pulled out, and then they were shot and killed unceremoniously. The wealth found was loaded into a carriage and transported away. The fire was clean.

The statues and the like in the church were either shredded or smashed to pieces with explosives. The people of Ming Dynasty didn't like these things very much.

In the palace of Vasily III, Zhu Houzhao admired the murals and various buildings on Qiang with great interest.

The Principality of Moscow has been greatly influenced by the Byzantine Empire, and has always claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine Empire. It has been influenced a lot in terms of culture and art, and its style has a strong Byzantine flavor.

"Byzantine Empire!"

Zhu Houzhao recalled relevant information about the Byzantine Empire in his mind. This is a huge empire that has perished, but it has regained its vitality in this land.

But unfortunately, they met the Ming Empire, so they could only stop here.

"Marshal, these are the family members of Vasily III."

Soon, Liu Jin came in with a group of women. He knew Zhu Houzhao very well. Even though Zhu Houzhao was the prince of Ming Dynasty, he actually learned the style of the prairie people.

Killing the opponent's men on the battlefield, then occupying the opponent's wife and daughter, and whipping the opponent's children, this method is exactly the same as the Mongols back then.

So after entering the palace, the first thing Liu Jin did was to arrest all the female relatives in the palace, and then select the young and beautiful ones for Zhu Houzhao to choose.

"Oh~"

Zhu Houzhao immediately became interested when he heard it, and his eyes swept to the family members of Vasily III. Suddenly, they were like seeing a man-eating beast, and they all trembled in fright. They didn't dare to look directly at Zhu Houzhao. Vasily III's current Princess Sofia still holds her head high.

This old woman in her sixties reveals the pride and self-confidence of the princess of the Byzantine Empire in her bones. Even though she has become a prisoner now, she is still extremely arrogant, as if she wants to kill or cut her down.

Looking at the female relatives behind her, they are all very ordinary, far inferior to the beauties of the Principality of Liangzan, Zhu Houzhao immediately lost interest.

He waved his hand and said, "Take them all as slaves and distribute them to the soldiers."

"Yes~"

Liu Jin nodded, then waved his hand, and the soldiers dragged all these people down again.

"Marshal, Huo Yun has captured the city of Smolenskok, and asked if he should continue to attack west?"

At this time, Yang Yun in military uniform came in and reported to Zhu Houzhao.

"Continue to attack, fight all the way to the Baltic Sea, and open up the western outlet, so that in the future, we can directly connect with Hong Kong by sea."

Zhu Houzhao took the lead without even thinking about it. Since the Ming Empire is expanding here, it must be done in one step. Don't procrastinate, and go directly to the Baltic Sea at once, so that you can get the Baltic Sea.

"Yes~"

Yang Yun quickly replied.

"Huo Ying and Liao Yuan's soldiers divided into two groups. One way to pursue the Crimean Khanate Tatars has reached the Danube area, and the other way has captured Kyiv. Please tell me if you are continuing to attack."

"Let them stop, it's almost done, and it's time to give the Tatars some space and drive them to death. Whoever will rob us of slaves in the future will border on the Ottoman Empire to the south."

Zhu Houzhao opened the map, looked at it carefully and said.

"Yes!"

Yang Yun quickly wrote it down, and then sent someone to send a telegram.

"Is there any news from the mainland?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and asked.

"The news has come. Your Majesty and the imperial court want us to establish a black soil province here, divide the state capital, and carry out a certain degree of cleaning at the same time. The officials appointed by the imperial court are already on their way."

"In addition, the imperial court has already begun to organize millions of immigrants to come to Black Earth Province. We must do a good job of resettlement work here, because winter is coming soon, and the winter here is very cold, which is comparable to that of Winter City, so Things for the winter must be settled."

"It is also necessary to study the climate and solar terms here, and work out a reasonable cultivation time so that the immigrants can adapt to everything in the Black Earth Province as soon as possible."

Yang Yun delivered a telegram to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took it and looked at it carefully.

"The style of doing things is exactly the same as that of Lao Liu, and he is very fast in doing things."

After reading the order from the native land, Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed.

Just looking at this telegram, Zhu Houzhao can know that Liu Jin has prepared everything on the local side.

Start a war, clean up the land, and then set up provinces and state capitals, and then a large number of immigrants will come, and immigrants will be established in cities and towns to accommodate immigrants, etc.

This set of Ming people has already played very well, and they have long been familiar with it.

"Ivan V, please come here, and some nobles who surrendered to us in advance have been found here."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said.

"Yes~"

Soon, Ivan V, Oleg, Andrei and others were invited in.

Ivan V is the Grand Duke of the Principality of Ryazan. Of course, he is now one of Zhu Houzhao's countless father-in-laws. Oleg and Andrei are the traditional nobles of the Principality of Moscow.

From the very beginning, they advocated submitting to the Ming Empire, but Vasili III didn't care about them traditional nobles at all. This also made them contact the Ming army in advance, who were already dissatisfied, and secretly surrendered to the Ming army. A lot of information.

At the same time, when they attacked Moscow City, they also proactively opened the city gate in advance, allowing Zhu Houzhao's army to take down the complete Moscow City almost without bloodshed.

"Our Ming Dynasty intends to combine the Principality of Moscow, the Principality of Ryazan, the Kazan Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and the Crimean Khanate to establish a Black Earth Province."

"You help me refer, refer, how can I let my Ming Dynasty occupy this place permanently, and make this place my permanent land?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at these people and said lightly.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Ivan V couldn't help feeling sad when he came over. The Ming people would fight for such a huge piece of land, and it was all taken up in a blink of an eye.

Now it is even more important to formally annex this vast land and set it up as a province to establish permanent rule here, which is completely different from the grassland nomadic tribes.

The prairie nomadic tribes only used this place as a pasture, and came here regularly to collect taxes and grazing valleys. They had no intention of occupying or ruling this place permanently.

This is a good ending for them, because the grassland people need nobles like them to help collect taxes, and they still have to rely on them in the end.

But the Ming people are different, they don't need nobles like them to help collect taxes, the Ming people chose to make this place a part of the Ming Empire, they want to occupy this place permanently, and establish a solid provincial rule here.

This also means that these nobles will never be able to stand up again. In the future, they can only become the lackeys of the Ming people, acting as translators for the Ming people, or assisting the Ming people to rule this land.

"Your Highness Daming, the people in this land are actually very easy to rule, because the people of Daming are all serfs, they are like livestock, they don't have their own thoughts and freedom at all, and they only do things according to the orders of their masters."

"The Ming Empire set up a province here, it only needs to ensure the interests of the nobles and lords. I think they are also very willing to recognize the rule of the Ming Empire and pledge allegiance to Your Highness!"

Oleg thought for a while and stood up and said.

"Are they all serfs?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Is this place the same as Wu Sizang?
"Yes, Your Highness. Except for a few nobles and merchants, most of the people here are serfs. They are like the livestock of nobles and lords, and they cannot even be called human beings."

Andre also followed suit, and immediately began to talk about the situation here, constantly giving advice to Zhu Houzhao.
