My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 880 Zhu Zhanji is sick

Zhu Zhanhe only stayed at the Port of Scutari for two days. Before he left, Mufas once again sent someone to deliver news that he had captured the city palace of Bursa and completely controlled the former Ottoman capital. .

While capturing Bursa, Mufas immediately announced to the cities in Ottoman Asia that he would proclaim himself Sultan, titled Mufas I, and asked all nobles to come to Bursa to express their surrender to him. Draw a clear line in the world.

These actions of Mufas were also approved by Zhu Zhanhe. After all, only by using the banner of Sultan could he compete openly with Murad II for Ottoman dominance, and at the same time attract nobles to be loyal to Mufas.

In fact, this method was very effective. Just a few days after Zhu Zhanhe left the port of Scutari, the Ottoman cities in Asia finally responded. Some nobles who had secretly communicated with Mufas before, this Shi Ye also went to Bursa to express their loyalty. In a short period of time, Mufas gathered an army of more than 100,000 people.

Of course, there were also some die-hard loyalists of Murad II who jumped out to oppose him at this time, and even cursed Mufas and others for being guilty of colluding with the big men to betray Osman's interests.

For those who dared to oppose, Mufas didn't talk nonsense. He selected a few nobles who shouted the loudest and sent troops to kill them. He also hung these nobles on the top of the city of Bursa as a warning. others.

Mufas's iron-blooded methods also made those nobles who originally wanted to take a wait-and-see attitude suddenly wake up, so more nobles went to Bursa to express their loyalty to Mufas.

Of course, there are some nobles who are still very calm, because they want to wait for Murad II's action in Europe, but unfortunately, the sea and the Venetian navy block the Black Sea Strait, and Murad II doesn't even know Mufas has already taken down Bursa, so of course there is no way he can do anything.

So as time went by, Ottoman cities in Asia also turned to Mufas one after another, and a few nobles loyal to Murad II were also wiped out by him.

Only then did Murad II on the European side finally learn about the situation on the Asian side. These were some nobles who were loyal to him. They sent people into the Black Sea and made a long detour before arriving in Europe. The news was sent to Murad II.

When the Han Dynasty and the Venetian navy jointly attacked the Black Sea Strait, Murad II had already sensed that something was wrong. For this reason, he also assembled a large army and deployed defenses along the strait to prevent the opponent from landing operations.

However, he did not expect that the target of the Han Dynasty was not in Europe, but in Asia across the strait. Therefore, when Murad II learned that Mufas had rebelled and proclaimed himself Sultan, he was extremely angry.

But now that the strait is cut off, it is difficult for Murad II to obtain news from the Asian side, let alone send troops there. Moreover, the navy in his hands has been almost completely wiped out, leaving only the Black Sea. There is a navy, but the number is not large, and the ships are very old. Let alone combat, it cannot even meet the requirements for transporting troops.

Therefore, Murad II was helpless when facing this situation. The army would definitely not be able to be sent. In the end, he could only send some people to go around the Black Sea into Asia, contact some nobles who were loyal to them, and let them unite to fight against Mu Fass.

But it is a pity that Murad II's actions were too slow. If it was when Mufas first captured Bursa, the people he sent could still contact many nobles loyal to him, but now Mufas has All of them, especially the most powerful ones, fell under Mufas's butcher's knife. The remaining nobles were no match for Mufas even if they united.

However, it will take some time for Mufas to unify Asia. After all, even if a large number of nobles join him, it is not easy to bring such a vast land under effective rule. It is estimated that it will take at least three to five years. Mufas had no energy for anything else.

Therefore, in the past three to five years, in order to ensure that Murad II was blocked in Europe, a large navy of the Han Dynasty was needed to be stationed in the Black Sea Strait, so the port of Shkodrali was assigned to the Han Dynasty and became a flying ground for the Han Dynasty. land.

Zhang Zhong did not personally station himself at the Port of Scutari. Instead, after staying here for a month, he left only four steam warships, which were enough to ensure the safety of the entire port. He himself led the fleet back to the Mediterranean and stationed himself there. Rhode Island was defeated before. At this time, Zhu Zhanhe and Helen had also returned to Dahan. When Zhu Gaoxu saw him, he was so happy that he almost cried. It was not because he missed his son, but because after Zhu Zhanhe left, all the heavy government affairs fell on him. Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he was about to kill someone.

Fortunately, his son was finally back, so Zhu Gaoxu threw all the government affairs in his hands to Zhu Zhanhe, and went to the north to train troops.

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanhe was already familiar with various government affairs, so those seemingly complicated government affairs were quickly sorted out in his hands. With the assistance of Yang Shiqi, Li Qi and others, so It only took Zhu Zhanhe ten days to finish almost all the government affairs that Zhu Gaoxu had accumulated.

"Your Highness, the resettlement of immigrants from Daming has gone very smoothly. Now many immigrants have settled down, and subsequent immigrants are also coming in a steady stream. According to current estimates, the resettlement of the immigrants can be completed in up to two years..."

In Zhan Shi's mansion, Li Qi stepped forward to report the immigration matter to Zhu Zhanhe. He had been responsible for this matter from the beginning.

"This matter was done well, Li Shangshu, you should take the lead!"

Zhu Zhanhe also praised with great satisfaction after hearing this.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. This is all my responsibility. I don't dare to take credit!"

Li Qi replied very modestly.

"Your Majesty, there has been a big event in the Ming Dynasty recently. Emperor Xuande is seriously ill and cannot even look at the court. It seems to be very bad!"

At this time, Yang Shiqi suddenly stepped forward to report that he had many close friends in the Ming Dynasty, so he was also very familiar with the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

"He is sick!"

Although Zhu Zhanhe had a surprised expression on his face, he was actually prepared in his heart. After all, it was already the ninth year of Xuande, and Zhu Zhanji died at the beginning of the tenth year of Xuande. It is said that he died just after the New Year, so There is not much time left for Zhu Zhanji.

"Your Highness, I have heard about this matter, but I am afraid that only Jin Yiwei knows the specific situation better!"

At this time, Li Qi also said that the Ming Dynasty was the mother country of the Han Dynasty and the only country that could threaten the Han Dynasty. Therefore, everyone in the Han Dynasty was very concerned about the Ming Dynasty.
