my days with tyrants

At this time, the battle at the Cangbo Gate is basically over...

Those color-eyed warriors can't really ignore death after all.

The extensive use of Molotov cocktails has even created a sea of ​​flames under the city wall. The rising flames made the defenders on the city wall afraid to show their faces, because they were worried that they would be burned to themselves, and even opened the oil barrels of those kerosene lampposts. It is easy to ignite the lamp posts, anyway, they are not needed for lighting now, and both sides of the moat are illuminated red.

It's not just the oil burning below, but also the color-eyed warriors who were ignited.

They are more resistant to burning.

They are solid fuels after all.

And the subsequent warriors looked at the wall of fire, and the only thing they could do was to retreat in panic.

Fortunately, because of the fire, the defenders couldn't go out of the city to pursue them. They could only watch the remnants of the defeated generals disappear into the dark forest.

In the end, it can be said that they have been planning for a long time, and even relied on internal and external cooperation, plus the capture of the leader of the country, the raid, still ended in failure, and it is estimated that there will be no next time. After all, they dare to face There are not many warriors rushing into the sea of ​​​​fire with bullets and shotguns. Up to now, it is estimated that tens of thousands of warriors have died in various battlefields. If it were not for the loyalty of those gentry, under the current situation, Beijing The battalion can counterattack.

Of course, counterattack is definitely not counterattack, it is best to guard the city wall and shoot targets.

However, the follow-up reinforcements of the Jianwen Dynasty were still coming. Governor Hu only brought the imperial camp, but the Jianwen Dynasty did not only have the imperial camp, but also kept the guards everywhere.

It's just that loyalty is limited.

What's more, as the war continued, especially as the news of the siege of the capital spread, the gentry from all over the place, especially the gentry in the areas originally controlled by the imperial court, joined the ranks of following Master Wang like carnival.

Some gentry have even rushed from Changsha to Nanchang with their loyalists, joining the ranks of going down the river.

On the contrary, Wang Bi was still attacking Wuchang. Although the gentry in Wuchang welcomed Master Wang in large numbers, his son-in-law still refused to surrender to him. In short, he was still blocked in Wuchang, but he and his son-in-law did not really fight. The imperial camp of Jianwen was wiped out in the capital.The latter marched northward alone, because he was afraid that he would go to the capital first and attack the capital first. In this case, there is no need to worry. Wang Bi knew very well what the result of Governor Hu's attack on the capital would be, so he just waited in Wuchang for the news that his entire army was wiped out. .

As for whether the capital can be opened, it is actually not important to Wang Bi, what he wants is a separatist regime, and his biggest enemy of the separatist regime is not the capital city.

But the Guangzhou court.

He separated Guangxi and Annan from the imperial court of the capital, even if it was to be destroyed, he would have to be ranked last, and he was already in his 70s.

How many more years can I live?
But the civil servants of the Guangzhou imperial court have been secretly poking at him to take over his power.

As for the head of the country, under the full rescue of the imperial doctors...

Still the rescue failed.

In the end, the head of the country was considered loyal to the country.

But since his daughter is the Queen Mother of Jian Guo, it is only natural for him to be loyal to the country.

"So this is really his own fault, but if he does a better job of guards and patrols, he won't end up putting himself in it."

Ambassador Yang gloated over the tragedy of the country's father.

Of course, the poor Guozhang did not know that everything was planned by Yang Feng. He and the little princess deliberately ignored the Guozhang, and even contributed to the flames behind. For example, the profiteer who sold the armor to the guards was a Shanxi businessman He told Uncle Guo that carburizing is completely unnecessary, anyway, it is meaningless when the guards are really needed to go to the battlefield.Sell ​​it to the guards at the price of the highest quality armor, but actually provide the worst wrought iron armor. It was also at his suggestion to open a factory to make flintlock guns by himself.

Then parts like springs are of course provided by him.

Of course, it must be inferior goods.

But Uncle Guo also knows.

But the inferior spring plate can fire bullets after all, but it only takes a few shots. If he really wants to purchase according to the normal parts, how can he make money.

The Ministry of Industry, the factory of the little princess, and even the private factory of Sugang can all provide high-quality spring plates now.

There are also smuggled goods from Foshan bought by Fujian merchants.

Even smuggled goods are cheaper. After all, the cost of factory workers in Foshan is much lower than that in Beijing. In fact, except for the higher quality of goods in Beijing, they have long been unable to compete with outsiders. After all, the cost of factory workers in the little princess is too high. Even in Suzhou, or even private factories in Beijing, the cost of workers is much lower than that of Little Princess' factories.

Of course, the little princess doesn't care about the cost at all. The money is what she prints, so what does it cost?

Even technology is spread out by her.

All large customers with large bank deposits can receive technical support in certain aspects.

Everything depends on your deposits in the bank. As long as you have enough deposits, clocks, weapons, machinery, etc., all kinds of technology can be bought from her, that is, some obvious huge profits such as mirrors. This will definitely not be rumored. , so the military technology of the Jianwen Dynasty actually came from her.This is also the main reason why Daming's current technology can be called explosive growth. Otherwise, just a few years will not be enough to make the technology of all parts of Daming progress so rapidly.

But the little princess’s move seems silly. In fact, she has already passed the initial stage of making money, because the bank always has the financial monopoly power, especially the right to issue money. The result of the explosive growth of the entire country’s economy is that the currency circulation is increasing Insufficient, and then she casually prints money.

It doesn't work if you don't print it.

Not printing is deflation.

Although even Cantonese businessmen can obtain technology, this seems to be a brain twitch.

But what was the result?
It was the Cantonese businessman who invited the bank over again.

Annan, Guangdong, which also banned precious banknotes, has resumed circulation of precious banknotes.

As for Guojiu, no matter where he purchased it, it was more than three times what the Shanxi businessman provided.

This thing requires the highest quality iron ore, and then selects the best from the smelted steel, and then undergoes further refining, and then requires a cumbersome heat treatment process. cannot be significantly reduced.For Uncle Guo, the price difference between regular products is not worth mentioning at all. It is not so cheap that the prices are so disparate. How can he make money by purchasing such cheap products that are less than one-third of the price of regular products, and then selling them at the price of regular products? Lied to his father and his sister.

Isn’t this huge profit coming?
As for the consequences...

What consequences can there be!

Isn't the guard just for show?It's time for the guards to guard the imperial city to the death, such a country should perish quickly!

But in the end he cheated his father.

Of course, it is also a good thing for him...

After all, his father still has the title of duke, so of course it will be his when his father dies.

"The empress dowager is going crazy. Now the whole city is searching for the rest of the party. Although she doubts Xie Jin, she doesn't know why after summoning him, she no longer doubts it. But Jin Youzi, the spy sent by Guangzhou, has been arrested. I don't know why he Will you confess to Xie Jin?"

Chun Ji said.

It's normal for Xie Jin to coax the queen mother.

The latter is not very smart, but the IQ of an ordinary person, and he seldom leaves the palace. All the outside affairs are left to her father, and her father has always regarded Xie Jin as his confidant, although her father should not She really believed in Xie Jin, but she really didn't have much doubt about the latter.After all, this kind of woman is educated in traditional ideology. The bachelor Xie is well-educated and talented, at least he must talk about loyalty. In the eyes of the queen mother, this is naturally a loyal minister.

Of course, this is not important anymore. After this battle, the combatable forces hidden in the capital of the Jianwen Dynasty should be basically cleaned up.

Even if there are still, they can only get some intelligence, without the ability to open the city gate by cooperating with the inside and outside.

"In this case, let's continue fighting. Tell Tang Sheng and others that as long as the enemy troops are not allowed to break into the outer wall, they will take care of the rest."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, heavy artillery was bombarding the city wall, especially the [-]-kilogram cannon. Regardless of the destructive power of the city wall, purely in terms of range, it would be no problem for a cannon shell of this level to fly four or five kilometers, and it would still be very difficult for it to land in the city. Easy to cause damage.The ten-thousand-jin cannon cast by the Jianwen Dynasty is the Suojiang cannon in the capital. However, because the casting technology and bronze refining technology are inferior, and because it is necessary to blast open the capital city wall as much as possible, it is slightly longer, and can only be thickened to ensure safety.

In the end, it reached a weight of more than 8000 catties. In order to have enough momentum, it called a ten thousand catty cannon.

The shells weighed thirty catties, or about forty pounds, but they were able to cast cannons of this level, which proved their significant progress.

of course……

It is also forced.

In order to cast these cannons, the gentry of Ji'an and other prefectures donated all the temple bells, folk bronzes, and even ancestral copper coins buried in large vats at many people's homes.

If these giant cannons break through the outer wall, they are basically set up at the riverside wharf outside Qingliangmen, and they can hit Yang Feng's Wutai Mountain with shells.

So it should be avoided as much as possible.

In short, the first wave of danger in the capital has passed now. Although it is still under siege, it is an attack to be precise. After all, there are no enemies downstream. After a series of failures, Hu Zizhao's army has had to stop. The two defensive points were temporarily put on the defensive, waiting for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements.At least until they get enough reinforcements, they are unable to continue to attack. As for their reinforcements, it depends on how many fish they can catch this time.

"The greater the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Yang Feng, who was standing on the shore of the Caspian Sea, said to the vast surface of the Caspian Sea.

At this time, the Western Regions have basically been pacified...

In fact, there was no fighting at all.

This rebellion was originally caused by Timur being forced by Zhu Di. After he came back after a series of failures, the emirs from all over the place were no longer interested in continuing to hang out with him. It happened that Shahru welcomed Master Wang, so everyone followed to welcome Master Wang That's enough, after Timur's death, most of them will welcome Master Wang.In the end, the only one who refused to welcome the king was the Pirma Heima group, but he refused because Shaharu was already the king of Samarkand, and of course he couldn't submit to his fourth uncle.

So now he, Didigai, and Deyilchak are the only ones left in the entire Western Region, and they do not continue to stay in Hedala. After all, they know their own strength very well.

The group finally withdrew to the Nuogai Grassland, crossed the Ural River and returned to the Chincha Grassland while Tuotuo was lost.

They still had less than [-] cavalry in total.

Although this strength is not worth mentioning against Ming Dynasty, it is still a powerful force in Eastern Europe.

The rest is nothing more than nomadic and plundering. They used to live like this, and they are still like this now. How to deal with them is a matter of getting lost. The Golden Horde Khan or King Shunyi of Ming Dynasty, after following Zhu Di to sweep West Asia, finally brought a full Harvest went north and returned to his own Kipchak grassland through Daerban, and also attracted a bunch of minions such as Chechens and Dagestanians.As for the Ming army, including Guilichi's allied forces, they all withdrew to the east of the Ural River. Daming didn't lie to him, saying that he would give him Yixi. The Shadibe Group, Vytautas in the northwest, and Vasily, the Grand Duke of Moscow in the north.

The result is up to him.

Of course, if he wanted, he could ask Daming to send troops again.

Will he?

Of course not.

He understands the truth that asking God is easy and giving God is difficult.

He is fully capable of solving these problems himself. After all, if he had not lost to Timur, he would have been the overlord of the Eastern European grasslands.

Now that Timur is gone, he has no worries. He doesn’t have to worry about his south. Just let go and deal with those forces in Eastern Europe. Anyone who dares to resist him will kill him. He captured Moscow last time. At worst, he will capture it again. In short, he will continue his dream of being the overlord of Eastern Europe in the future, and now he is backed by Ming's trade, and his strength has also greatly increased.

As for Zhu Di is already returning, it is said that he is almost in Herat, and then he brought a bunch of tribute envoys of the Ming Dynasty who had just surrendered, and went south to the Two Rivers Plain and west to the Bosporus Strait. They are all subjects of Ming Dynasty.After hearing the news of Timur's death, the tyrants from all over Persia chose to continue their allegiance to Daming without hesitation, and as the commander of the Persian capital, they were restrained by Shahru, so in fact nothing changed.Daming will not send officials to their territories, nor will they collect taxes from them. They are all commanders, and of course they don’t have to pay taxes, but they must pay tribute every year. In fact, it will not be too much. All that is required of them is surrender.

Then there is everything in the category of surrender.

all.

When Ming needed them to send troops, they would send troops to fight for Ming. When Ming needed them to increase the amount of tribute, they had to increase the amount of tribute. When Ming needed to send officials to them, they had to accept these officials.

Since they still submit to Daming, theoretically they have to do whatever Da Ming asks them to do.

Nothing is just a matter of now, since they choose to be loyal to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, it is their obligation to obey the Emperor of Ming Dynasty's will.

Whatever the will.
