I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 305 I want to be Daming's lackey!
Shana's shout alarmed the whole village. The Ryazan people who were going to enjoy dinner and then enter the room with their wives to spend a shameless night rushed out of the house in panic.

The men quickly assembled in the village with axes, kitchen knives, various tools, and wooden boards and pot covers in their hands.

The women were not idle either.

They hid the children and the elderly in the cellar, then took the wooden fork and scissors at home, stood behind the man, and were ready to fight.

This is not because they are all good at fighting, but because they are forced to be helpless.

If you don't resist, you will die. A man will be done with one knife, and a woman will be tortured endlessly before she dies, regardless of whether she is old or young, good-looking or not.

Therefore, under the persecution of this general environment, no matter whether a man or a woman has a little strength, when encountering an enemy attack, they must take out their weapons and fight the enemy desperately.

Perhaps they were called the fighting nation in later generations, and it may have started from here.

"Shana, are you sure it's really a yellow-skinned devil?"

An old man with a knight sword in his hand asked Shana with a serious expression.

He was getting old, and the sky was dark, so he could only vaguely see figures shaking and strange things on the hillside in the distance.

"Yes, Lord Roy, they are wearing fine armor, their skin is yellow, and I can't see their hair and eyes clearly, but they are vaguely black."

The old man in front of him is the knight of this village, and this village is his fiefdom.

"Damn it, haven't we paid our taxes? Why are they here again?"

The old knight named Roy cursed in a low voice, and then yelled at the son of the organized villager: "Huff, report to the lord immediately and ask him for help, hurry up!"

Huff, who was organizing the villagers, was stunned for a moment.

He understood what his father meant. On the surface, his father asked him to ask for help, but the deep meaning was to let him run for his life.

Although the surrounding villagers also understood, they just silently watched the distant enemy without saying a word.

Shana bit her bright red lips, staring straight at Huff.

The two are childhood sweethearts. Although one is from an aristocratic family and the other is an ordinary woman, they still cannot stop their passionate love.

Many people in the village knew about the relationship between the two, even Knight Roy knew about it.

As a woman, having a man stand in front of her and protect herself when she is in danger is the greatest and best wish.

Huff also promised her before that no matter what dangers he encountered, he would protect her and protect her for the rest of his life.

Now that the challenge is coming, she wants to see how this man should choose.

If she leaves, she will not leave. Her parents, younger siblings are here, and Shana will not leave them alone to run for her life.

No matter what the result is today, she will pick up the dagger that Huff gave her and fight the enemy to the end.

"Father, go. As a warrior, my conscience and my mission do not allow me to leave at this time."

Huff rejected his father, walked up to Shanna and put his arms around her shoulders, and confessed their relationship to his father for the first time.

"What's more, there are people I protect here. You have always told me the principles of knights. Today is my duty as a knight."

Looking at his son with a firm expression, Roy's eyes were slightly dazed.

Back then, he also protected Huff's mother in the same way. The son in front of him had grown up, and his former figure appeared on his body.

Seeing the two men and women embracing each other tightly, Roy walked forward slowly, and under the begging eyes of his son, he took off the chain armor he had just put on and put it on his son.

The entire village only had this set of armor. He was old, and it was a waste to wear this armor on him.

His son has grown up, so he can't just die here. Although he knows that he can't drive this child away, Luo Yi hopes that this armor, which has been with him for many years, can protect his only seedling, so that the family's inheritance can continue to be passed on. go down.

"Father!"

Looking at his father who put on armor for himself, Huff cried out with tears in his eyes.

After fastening the chain mail, Roy patted his son's shoulder and put the helmet on his son's head.

Then he pulled out the knight sword from his waist and handed it to his son.

When Huff grabbed the knight sword, Roy said loudly: "Knight Huff, are you ready to protect your people and your fief..." Speaking of this, he glanced at Shana beside Huff, With a smile on his face, "And the battle preparation of your favorite person!"

Hearing his father's solemn question, Huff knelt on the ground with a knight's sword in his hand under the watchful eyes of all the villagers and his lover.

"Lord Lord, Knight Huff is always ready to fight!"

"Da da da…"

Just as the knight promotion ceremony was being held in the village, a sound of horseshoes sounded from outside the village.

Luo Yi, who had just promoted his son, took the ax from the villagers next to him, and strode in front of everyone.

This is his fiefdom, here are his people, he is the knight lord here, he is usually worshiped and respected, this is the time for him to stand up.

Huff arranged Shana in the crowd, and under his worried eyes, stood beside his father, ready to fight.

The person who came was a knight in fine armor, and under his crotch was a horse that looked very much like a donkey.

The knight held a very gorgeous and beautiful banner in his hand, and there was a text on it that Roy and others could not understand.

Although they couldn't understand it, everyone knew in their hearts that it should represent the identity of the lord who came.

The cavalry who rushed over stopped their horses outside the village fence, looked at the people in the circle who were ready to fight, and shouted loudly in Mongolian: "Listen, people inside, we are a legion from the Ming Empire. It is His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty."

"I came to your country today and sincerely come with peace and friendship. I am willing to have an in-depth conversation with the Grand Duke of your country to establish a peaceful and long-lasting friendship."

"I hope everyone will not misunderstand, and report our sincerity and intention to come to your Grand Duke."

After the knight finished speaking, he stood at the door and waited.

The reason why he speaks Mongolian is because he can't speak Liangzan language. He thinks that this is the territory of Fan Kingdom of the Golden Horde, and he has to pay taxes to the Golden Horde every year. The two sides have frequent contacts, so they should be able to understand Mongolian.

Sure enough, after the knight finished speaking, the vigilant village responded.

"Father, what did they say about the Ming Empire, theirs, theirs..."

As the heir of Loy, Huff has also had a lot of contact with the people of the Golden Horde Han Kingdom in recent years, so he can speak a little Mongolian.

But after all, he is a foreigner, not to mention that the Mongolians in the East and the West have different accents, and there are many words that he can't understand at all.

It was a bit better at the beginning, but the word "emperor grandson" does not exist in the Jinzhang Han Kingdom. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to translate it.

Looking at his son who was scratching his head, Roy also looked helpless.

He was born to be a language idiot. Before his son grew up, his wife used to communicate with the people of the Golden Horde on his behalf.

But his wife passed away last year, and now he can't find a translator.

"Master Luoy, the grandson of the emperor should be the son of the king's son."

Just when the two were worried, a crisp voice sounded behind them.

The two looked back, and saw Shana, who had been arranged in the crowd just now, came behind them at some point.

"My God, Shanna, you understand those words."

With surprise on Huff's face, he stepped forward and took his lover's hand.

Shana nodded with a blushing face, "Ms. Anna once taught me, but I have never had contact with people from the Golden Horde Han Kingdom, and I have never used this language."

"Okay, my child, now is not the time to chat, let's talk about what they mean."

Seeing his son yelling, Roy shook his head helplessly, noticing that the knight outside the fence was getting impatient, and quickly stopped the two of them from continuing their conversation.

Shana nodded, and quickly translated what the knight outside said.

After listening to Shana's translation, the surrounding villagers relaxed a bit.

It turned out that they did not come to rob them, but to establish friendly relations with their Grand Duke.

The villagers relaxed, but Luo Yi did not relax at all.

As a knight who thinks he has been in contact with high-level politics, he doesn't think there is any talk of peace in this world, let alone he has never heard of the country of Ming Dynasty.

Returning the empire, hehe, maybe a small tribe with thousands of people.

Although Roy's territory was only a small village, and the Principality of Ryazan was not large, it did not prevent him from despising those smaller countries.

Roy looked down on those forces that established a country with only one village, or only a few thousand people.

He has fought for the Grand Duke for so long, and he has wiped out 8 such countries instead of 10.

Such so-called powerful empires can be said to be everywhere in the western region.

That is, the other party's yellow skin made him feel a little afraid. If it was replaced by a white-skinned man, Roy would have mocked him with disdain.

"Shana, you translate my words to him."

Although the identity of the other party is not sure, but the other party comes with friendship after all, and has no plans to start a war, so we can talk about it.

Besides, they are looking for the grand duke, not their small village, so let the grand duke come if there is anything to do.

"Okay, Lord Roy!"

Shana nodded obediently.

"You tell him that we can't determine their identities and let them camp outside the village first. I will send someone to tell the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke will send someone to contact them."

Shana nodded, and under Huff's guard, she came to the fence, and raised her skirt to the cavalry outside the fence.

"Mr. Knight, we cannot judge your identities, but we welcome your kindness very much. We also invite you to station outside the village. Our Lord Knight will tell His Excellency the news of your arrival as soon as possible. Hurry up to Ryazan, and someone will come over to welcome you."

Hearing the awkward translation of the girl in front of him, the knight saluted with fists in his hands, turned around and returned to the team on the hillside.

Soon the team set up camp on the other side, and the cavalry ran over again, telling the village to notify their Grand Duke as soon as possible.

Seeing that the other party had really set up camp, Roy ordered people to continue to be vigilant, and at the same time rushed to the upper-level lord himself to report the news.

The lord got the news and sent someone over to confirm it. He saw that Daming's weapons were excellent, and that strange iron beast was very important.He personally ran to Ryazan and notified the news to Ivan III Fylodorovich who had just succeeded to the throne. (I made a mistake in the last one, Ivan III is now in charge of Ryazan!)

"The Great Ming Empire!"

Hearing the report from his lord, Ivan III, who is only in his early 20s, frowned tightly.

He seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten that lunatic alchemist?"

His personal guard next to him rang first, reminding Ivan III softly.

After being mentioned by his subordinates, Ivan III remembered it all at once.

When he came to Ryazan to inherit the fief last year, he met a crazy alchemist on the way.

The other party told him that as long as he can help the other party accomplish a few things, the other party will help him and become a powerful empire beyond Ming Dynasty.

Young, energetic and arrogant, he naturally didn't believe what a lunatic said, and then the lunatic just shook his head and said something, which he didn't understand, then turned and left.

"Is this Daming really powerful?"

Ivan III frowned. Although that guy was a lunatic, if he could make a lunatic think that it was a powerful empire, it would definitely not be so weak.

And according to his subordinates, the other party came from the Jinzhang Han Kingdom with an army.

The Golden Horde Han Kingdom is a tyrannical country, how could it be possible for an army to pass through his territory without incident.

And two days ago, he also received news that it seemed that the Golden Horde sent troops to fight against a certain faction, and the result was heavy losses. In the end, they all hid in the city and did not dare to come out.

From this, Ivan III came to a conclusion that this Great Ming was probably the one that beat up the Golden Horde Han Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Ivan III's bright eyes gradually shone.

The reason why the Principality of Moscow is so powerful is not because the other party is the henchman of the Golden Horde, helping the Golden Horde to collect taxes, and the interests extracted from it strengthen itself.

Ivan III also wanted to be the lackey of the Golden Horde, but the other party didn't want him, and the other party didn't like him at all.

If Daming really made the Golden Horde fear, then if I take refuge in the other party and get help from the other party, will I surpass the Principality of Moscow, and even become a powerful principality thousands of miles away, and then use the power of Daming to annex the surrounding countries? country, became an empire.

The more I think about it, the hotter Ivan III feels. Although all this is just his speculation and fantasy, this is an opportunity.

On that day, Ivan III rushed to that remote village with a large number of people to meet his friends from Ming Dynasty. Of course, they might be his allies in the future.

"Sir, can we exchange some more salt and that delicious seasoning with you, how much do you think these gold coins can be exchanged for?"

Outside the camp in the small village, Huff took Shana with him, holding a few gold coins in his hands, looking nervously at the handsome young man in front of him, hoping to exchange some exquisite fine salt and delicious seasonings from him, so as to entertain the coming Grand Duke.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the young men and women in front of him with a smile, nodded slightly, and asked Jiang Huai who was beside him to take the gold coins from the opponent's hand, took out a small box from the side, and handed it to the opponent.

"Take it, the extra is for you!"

But then they saw the bewildered expression of the other party, and the two showed joyful expressions until the translation was finished. Zhu Zhangui shook his head helplessly, and handed the box to the other party.

The reason why Huff came over to change the seasoning was because Zhu Zhangui had caught some prey for the old man to make barbecue last night, and the aroma attracted him to come over.

The villagers who smelled such a delicious fragrance for the first time almost flowed into a river.

In the end, Huff and Shana, who couldn't bear it anymore, ran over to ask if there was anything they could do to help, and had a meal of barbecue.

After eating a barbecue last night, the two of them could never forget the taste.

Early this morning, when they heard the news from the cavalry that the Grand Duke was coming, the two received an order from Roy, and found out the private money they usually hid, thinking about using the money to exchange some seasonings to entertain His Excellency the Grand Duke. Fortunately, leave a little impression in his heart.

"Didn't it mean that the girls from the Polar Bear family have skin as white as snow, and they are all fair-skinned and beautiful with long legs? Why are all the girls here so dark? And the girl who looks at her hot eyes is not an unmarried girl." Ah, it’s the same with the 30-year-old aunt.”

Looking at the two people going away, Zhu Zhangui muttered in a low voice.

In order to protect the safety of the old man, Zhu Zhangui did not reveal the identity of the old man to Liang Zan, but used Zhu Zhangui's name.

Although the status of a prince is honorable, it is not enough to make other countries think differently, but it is hard to say that an emperor brings thousands of people to another country.

So just in case, this is the name of diplomacy, Zhu Zhangui is the leader, and the old man is pretending to be a housekeeper.

At noon, Ivan III rushed over with the army of the Principality of Ryazan and the welcoming team.

That's right, the entire army.

In order to show the Ryazan Principality's importance, and to show his own force in a subtle way, Ivan III used the fastest time to gather the fief knights, a terrifying army of more than 3500 people.

This isn't sarcasm, it's telling the truth.

In the West during this period, more than 3500 knight armored legions were already quite a force.

But there is a saying that is good, people should die if they compare people, and goods should be thrown away if they compare goods.

When the two legions met, Ivan III instantly felt that his army was not as powerful as he had imagined, but instead had the feeling of a motley army.

Looking at the army wearing various armors with different styles behind him, and then looking at the uniform standard armor on the opposite side, Ivan III always felt like a beggar.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the legion opposite, with pride in his eyes.

This is the powerful Yanhuang.

Before the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, before the 15th century, the Yanhuang Army could be said to be at the forefront of the world.

The front row mentioned here does not only refer to the number of combat forces, but also the unification of military equipment, which surpasses the world by an unknown number of times.

The so-called advanced countries in the West, in fact, before the fourteenth century, the military equipment was all kinds, let alone the so-called unified military uniform.

As a person from later generations, I know that the uniform of the military uniform can bring a different morale and mental outlook to the army.

In addition to attracting young people to join the army, it can also greatly increase the people's yearning and support for the army.

Therefore, since Zhu Zhangui took over the military power, the unification of the military uniforms of the three major battalions of Ming Dynasty started at the fastest speed.

For example, the Shenji Battalion has uniform external cloth armor, uniform cowhide military boots, and uniform helmets.

Even the various backpacks and ordinary small objects on the body are all in the same style. Except for the different logos on the commander's chest, the entire legion is almost exactly the same from a distance.

On the side of the [-] Battalion, there are uniform brown Arabian war horses, uniform skirt armor, and Ming's iconic red battle clothes, as well as the lance that makes the enemy fearful, the saber hanging on the saddle, and the hand-held Available cavalry is a revolver.

In addition, the Arabian warhorses understand human nature. When they are lined up in an army formation, they are almost horizontal and vertical. The horses don't even bow their heads to eat grass.

In the agile horse's eyes, looking at the opposite kind is full of contempt and disdain.

They are also being ridden by others, and they are also charging and fighting. Let alone eating, the accessories on this body are not of the same grade.

It's really embarrassing for the horse to be mixed up like this bird.

The [-] Battalion has been fighting for many years, and the extremely strong murderous aura on their bodies shocked the horses of Liang Zan on the opposite side, moving their hooves back and forth uneasily.

Feeling the daunting threat from the opposite side, Ivan III took a deep breath, his heart exuded with fire, he slapped the horse under his crotch, and brought his guards to meet him.

Zhu Zhangui glanced vaguely at the old man beside him, and with his slight nod, he took several Jianghuai cavalry generals to meet him.

"Dear grandson of the emperor, welcome to Ryazan."

Ivan III's posture was very low, completely in the posture of a subordinate welcoming the superior lord.

Originally, he wanted to make friends with this Daming, and wanted to use the other party's deterrence to make Liang Zanguo take a step forward.

Now seeing the powerful army of the opponent, Ivan III is not only not afraid, but even happier.

The stronger Ming the better, if it is the most powerful country in the world, let alone making friends with the other party, it is fine to be the dog's leg of the other party.

The son of a prince on the other side brought thousands of excellent troops with him when he traveled. One can imagine how powerful the other country's armed forces are.

Ivan III conservatively estimated that the opponent's country had at least 10 such elite legions.

10 people, if he has so many elite troops, let alone the small Principality of Moscow, he would dare to beard repeatedly in the Golden Horde.

After listening to the translation by the translator next to him, Zhu Zhangui smiled and cupped his hands.

"Your Excellency Ivan, I have admired you for a long time!"

The two exchanged briefly in the two armies, and finally, under the warm invitation of Ivan III, Zhu Zhangui took the team that had already pulled out of the camp to the banquet place that Ivan III was about to welcome.

As for Huff and Shana who had been prepared for a long time, they could only helplessly sigh as they watched the leaving team.

These days, why is it so difficult to flatter a superior?

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, someone once told me what you Ming said, but I didn't understand what it meant. Could you ask me for advice?"

The armies of both sides walked side by side, and Ivan III looked at the armored three Bengzi chug following in the team, with a flash of envy in his eyes.

Glancing at Zhu Zhangui who was admiring the scenery, he remembered what the lunatic alchemist had muttered before leaving, so he started talking out of nothing.

Zhu Zhangui was a little curious. He didn't expect that in this remote place, there were still people who had heard Daming's official dialect.

"But it doesn't matter!"

With permission, Ivan III recalled what the lunatic alchemist said that day, and said in an awkward Lingnan dialect: "Oh, people in the West really have a problem with their brains. They don't cherish such a good opportunity. What a fool!"

After listening to the awkward Lingnan dialect, Zhu Zhangui gave a dry cough, and replied with a somewhat unnatural expression: "This is the other party's complimenting you, saying hello to you."

The translator who was following looked at Ivan III with a strange expression, and translated the sentence.

Hearing the translation, Ivan III's expression was a little stiff.

Although the other party said it nicely, but from the strange eyes of the soldiers of Ming Dynasty around him, he could clearly guess this sentence, it must not be a good word.

The other party translated in this way, probably out of consideration for his own face, to forcibly change the meaning.

Good guy, before he even started talking, he made such a big joke. As soon as he turned over the mountain, he felt the gazes of the surrounding soldiers from Ming Dynasty. He wished he could get off his horse and dig a hole and bury his head in it.

It's embarrassing to be so embarrassing. I can't speak nonsense anymore if I don't understand the meaning of this foreign language.
