my days with tyrants

Of course Yang Feng didn't know that in distant America, a group of sailors from the Ming Dynasty were saving lives and healing the wounded.

Of course, this doesn't affect anything.

In fact, since Zheng He's fleet left, the plague in the Americas broke out rapidly. By this time, it had spread to a wide range, and Zheng He's fleet also brought back the American virus from the Americas. The Columbian Exchange became Zheng He's The exchange with the Great Ming Dynasty is inevitable. As long as we set foot on this route, this is the destined result. However, the civilization level of Ming Dynasty is high, so it has no impact at all...

On his way back, hundreds of sailors died of illness.

But he was accompanied by a real imperial doctor, a medical team specially formed for him by the Imperial Hospital.

It was under control before Ming Dynasty.

With their mature experience, after his fleet came back, they only added a few diseases that were not very dangerous to Ming Dynasty.

But the level of American civilization is too low.

Their ability to deal with the plague is quite primitive, so a large-scale rebellion is inevitable.

That place is no longer on Yang Feng’s radar. The Ming Dynasty has liberalized private trade to the Americas. Anyone who has the ability can go there. Moreover, many of the things Zheng He brought have indeed become popular in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention those rare birds and exotic animals. Beasts are very popular among wealthy people.Moreover, some of the new crops he brought back have been cultivated in the past few years and have been promoted. Sweet potatoes are the easiest to promote and have been planted in large quantities in Huining. The rest are also being cultivated.In this situation, there are still many people like Han Zhong who seek wealth through risk, especially those whaling ships. Anyway, they go to sea for a long time, so they just treat it as a side trip to America, even if it is not for trade, they go to America. It is possible to track sperm whales along the coast and establish a whaling base there.

Therefore, Yang Feng has completely left the future development to the Americas to the private sector.

All he needs to do is hype up American goods.

As long as the profits are enough, those businessmen will take care of the rest.

As for the Indians…

It's up to the gods!
In fact, after the civil strife in Ming Dynasty was resolved, Ambassador Yang no longer had any interest in running things. He had already done a very thorough job in transforming the country, especially his students, who were entering the officialdom in batches. The future of this country belongs to them.

He didn't need to do much more.

As for his marriage to the little princess, this is still on hold.

After all, their marriage means that the little princess no longer belongs to the Zhu family, but has become a foreign surname. Likewise, the legal basis for her governance does not exist. However, the queen has just learned to walk, so she cannot let go. Since this is the only way If we continue to shelve it, at least the Queen will not consider this issue until she reaches adulthood...

Alas, Princess Hanshan's sacrifice for her grandniece was too great.

For the sake of the Zhu family, she had to wait until she was thirty before getting married.

This is simply miserable in this day and age.

Very miserable.

For a woman to get married after thirty can be described as appalling.

Yang Feng also did not need to worry about the Ming Dynasty's expansion of territory. The kings of Chu, Shu, Liao, and even Zhou were all ambitious. As soon as the king of Chu returned to Annan, he used to occupy the city to rebel. As an excuse, he took the escort regiment he had built during his previous defense of Wuchang and went south to attack Champa City.The King of Champa was so frightened that he hurried to the capital to plead guilty, but then the King of Chu reported that they were pretending to plead guilty, but in fact they attacked his guards. They just wanted to delay time and had no sincerity. Since they were in power like this, of course they chose to believe her brother...

That's her brother.

If she doesn't believe her brother, does she believe the king of Champa?
In the end, the envoy of Champa was beheaded, and then the King of Chu continued to attack Champa. The court would not pay him anyway, so he could fight as much as he wanted.

The King of Liao took advantage of the fall of the He family and annexed the He family's stronghold in Tainan. He also lured the Guangdong whaling ship that was originally attached to the He family. The latter was frightened because they were worried about being implicated by the He family, but they defected to Liao. The king doesn't have to worry about this problem. He is a compatriot who is the real leader in power. It is safest to follow him.Relying on these whaling ships, the King of Liao finally built his own maritime power and quickly began to expand in the Nanyang Islands. Anyway, Yang Feng had promised that all the territory would be his, as long as he did not steal the maritime trade business and control It's okay to use the land as a source of goods, so just conquer it one island at a time.He has a fleet and powerful guards, and he even hires the natives there. These natives are very suitable for fighting in the tropical mountains and forests, and because the tribes are all under his jurisdiction, as long as the military pay is sufficient, they are willing to fight in Southeast Asia. He works hard.

The King of Shu has also arrived in Kunming.

Mu Sheng was panicked after Jianwen's death. After all, he had a close relationship with Jianwen before.

Although Yang Feng and the little princess didn't do anything, the more this happened, the more frightened he became, which was equivalent to having a knife hanging above his head, so he acted extremely submissively now, and not only executed the little princess's lewd man as quickly as possible Order to behead, and fully help the King of Shu to go south, build roads, build forts, and raise military supplies...

It is estimated that next year the King of Shu will lead his guards to inspect the Three Annals and Six Comforts and select sites for city construction.

Only King Zhou made slow progress.

But his caravans had also established trade routes south to India.

Ming Dynasty is moving outward in an all-round way.

Even the caravans of King Jin began to trade westward through the vast sea to Eastern Europe.

Of course, it was King Yan who really pioneered.

Caspian Sea.

Zhu Di stood on his horse.

Behind him is the national highway leading directly to the capital.

Of course, it's not really finished yet.

This national highway has been under construction for more than a year, and most of the sections have been completed, especially the relatively densely populated river section, that is, the section from Talos to Charju. Take a branch line from Bekabad to Osh, which will make it easier to go east to southern Xinjiang.Because the difficulty of construction was low, or the environment was relatively normal, only a few thousand people died. However, from Charzhu to here, especially the last desert section, is still under construction, and on average nearly [-] people died to build one mile of road. Hundreds of people.Those who died of exhaustion, those who died of illness, those who fled and were killed, and some even died of thirst in groups at the construction site because they were late in delivering water. It can be said that they are simply paved with bones.But to a large extent, it was also because the Wara cavalry who oversaw the work did not regard civilian husbands as human beings.

Very normal.

After all, the two sides are not the same person at all.

In fact, many Ora cavalrymen were killed when civilians resisted.

The bad relationship between the two parties greatly slowed down the progress of the project. However, the situation improved with the arrival of the Indian civilian husband sent by the Congling Commandery Division. The latter was still obedient. Wala did not understand the mess. , and I don’t understand the language with them. I even thought that these Indian folk men were Buddhists, so I was relatively kind to them.

As for the section from Talos to Gaochang that Zhu Di was responsible for, he did not complete it.

It's more difficult there.

Especially in Tianshan, there are many places where tunnels need to be dug.

This is estimated to take another three to five years to complete.

After all, the tunnels he dug were not big tunnels, just several hundred or even tens of meters.

But even so, the construction of this national road greatly accelerated his marching speed.

He divided his troops into two groups in Samarkand or Kangju City. His son Zhu Gaoxu led the main force to Persia and bypassed the Caspian Sea to go to Tabriz. He crossed the sea first and then met up.

At this time, he was no longer the [-]-strong army he had when he set out.

but 20.

Kunling and Dayuan both commanded the nomadic cavalry of Shisi, [-], King Dayuan's [-], Hezhong both commanded Shisi and King Kangju's [-], Congling both commanded Shisi's [-], and the two kings of Gaochang and Hami [-], and another [-] from the Xinzhao Holy Army...

This Zhao Sheng Army was led by Gui Lichi.

Last time, Kun Timur returned with a full load, which made Guilichi and Hanhai both command the Mongolian herdsmen in the envoy department to be jealous.

Since Kun Timur can lead the Zhaosheng Army and follow Zhu Di to make a fortune, Guilichi can of course also do it. However, the headquarters of the Zhaosheng Army is still in Jianzhou, and the commander of the Zhaosheng Army is still Fancha. The [-] can only be said to be For reinforcements, Gui Lichi got the permission of the Queen Mother to escort Yao Guangxiao.The latter was entrusted by the Queen Mother to go to Jianzhou to build a temple. Guilichi volunteered and led [-] Mongolian cavalry to escort him, and then took a new batch of Zhaosheng troops to Jianzhou.

In addition, there are five thousand from the Zhenbei Capital Command and Envoy Department.

It's actually Siberian.

Ten thousand from Shule.

As for the remaining five thousand, it belongs to the naturalized chief, that is, Yang Feng’s concubine Gu Lina. Her naturalized chief does not belong to any command department, but is an independent chieftain. In recent years, he has basically been a free man. Like the city, because of its special status and equally special location, Guihua City or Khujand City currently has a population of 10.

Of course, I have to follow King Yan to participate in the grand event.

This army is a chaotic one. It is actually a patchwork of armed forces put together by the merchants in the city. After all, robbery itself is an important business for the merchants, so all races have them.

20 troops.

This is only half way.

There are more ahead waiting to be added.

At this time, a rowing boat in front docked, and the messenger on the boat was brought to Zhu Di by the waiting Zhang Fu. This obvious Sylvan man quickly knelt down and raised his hands to deliver the urgent report from King Sylvain.

Zhu Di took it and looked at it.

"Looks like I guessed right!"

he sneered.

Zhang Fu looked at him doubtfully.

"Issa of the Ottomans received information that Constantinople received a large number of reinforcements. What is certain is that there are a large number of Genoese mercenaries inside. They should have been transported by sea to the ports in the Aegean Sea and then overland. Moreover, Issa also received According to a secret report from his brothers, his brothers have formed an alliance with Constantinople, including the Serbs, and will form a coalition to rescue Constantinople."

Zhu Di said.

Issa only controlled the Asian part of the Ottoman Empire, while his brothers controlled the Balkan part, but they all called themselves Sultan and accused him of betraying his father.

This is a mortal enemy.

But the same cannot be said for the generals under the latter.

Especially the alliance with Constantinople made many generals dissatisfied.

So snitching on him was normal.
