Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

"Your Majesty, the Aru army was defeated. The tribes returned to their starting points and fought on their own. They abandoned Aru. Aru was captured alive by the Beautiful Army. It is said that he will be put on trial."

"In addition, the beautiful army is preparing to continue its march, and ordinary people are shouting slogans to exterminate the Indians."

The second world, the study in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing.

Wang Xuance reported all the news he received to Zhu Zhanjun one by one.

Zhu Zhanjun felt no disappointment or regret about Alu's defeat.

As I said, what’s the point of having a disobedient dog?
"In addition, the tribal leaders have expressed to us through various channels that they are willing to replace Aru as our spokesperson."

"Among them, the Lu tribe is even more willing to serve you as their master, and all the people in the tribe are willing to obey your orders."

Putting the telegrams on the table, Wang Xuance whispered the opinions of the other tribal leaders.

"Haha, it turns out that when faced with the temptation of power, some people are willing to sacrifice everything."

After reading each telegram, Zhu Zhanjun threw them into the trash can next to him.

Zhu Zhanjun decided not to accept these people's requests.

Aru's performance is enough to prove that the Indians are hopeless.

After half a year of military training and with more advanced equipment than the Da Piaoliang, they ended up in this mess.

"How's the construction of the military base going?"

Zhu Zhanjun didn't talk about the Indians anymore, but asked about the military base built next to Da Piaoliang.

Wang Xuance quickly flipped through his notebook and found the report on this matter.

"According to the report from Gao Hang and others, the initial construction of the military base has been completed."

"Our navy has been cruising around them, posing a threat to the Great Beauty Navy. So far, the Great Beauty has not discovered our intentions."

Zhu Zhanjun pondered for a moment, then said to Ji Gang who was waiting beside him, "How is the contact with those people in the south going?"

Ji Gang, who came for this matter, reported quietly: "They agree with our opinion in principle, but their only request is that they only want to obey us in name only, like those vassal states, and not directly accept our orders."

"In exchange, we have to provide them with weapons and ammunition for free, and they also want tanks."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhu Zhanjun's eyes. These greedy capitalists put their own interests before national and racial justice.

"Tell them I can agree, but we require that after the first batch of weapons is delivered, they must launch a war to the north. Otherwise, not only will we cut off their future support, but we will also make the news of their alliance with us public, causing them to completely lose the support of the people."

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanjun did not have much hope for these Indians. His main target of persuasion was the beautiful southern forces.

Because of the threat from the Ming Dynasty, the two forces temporarily united together.

However, as a combined force, it has numerous internal factions and people are greedy. When faced with interests and temptations, they will not hesitate to abandon the promises they made to the people.

The Southern Alliance was unwilling to be suppressed by the Northern Alliance. After the Ming Dynasty came into contact with several of their leaders, they began to have some ulterior motives.

Later, the Indians were trained by the Ming Dynasty for several months and rescued with the Ming Dynasty's new weapons. They posed such a great threat to the United States that the people in power felt a sense of crisis.

They feared that the Ming would give its full support to these Indians and replace them completely.

Through various connections, the southern forces took the initiative to find people from the Ming Dynasty and conducted a treasonous negotiation.

Achieve your demands during negotiations.

After the South dealt with the Northern forces and the Indians, it nominally obeyed the Ming Dynasty like the Russians, but had the right to autonomy.

The Ming army could station troops anywhere in Da Piao, and Da Piao only had to maintain a certain number of armed guards.

In addition to these, there are also various commercial and mining collaborations.

At Zhu Zhanjun's suggestion, the Ming Dynasty agreed to some of the reasonable demands and signed the treaty as quickly as possible.

Zhu Zhanjun chose to do this, but it was not a hasty decision made in order to unify the world.

His idea was simple. He wanted to let the Da Piaoliang kill each other first, while the Ming army continued to speed up the construction of military bases and dispatch troops.

When the two sides have almost finished fighting, the Ming Dynasty will take advantage of the situation.

As for the contract, haha, to use the words of Little Mustache, contracts are meant to be torn up.

Compared to unifying the entire world, that insignificant reputation of defaulting on debts is nothing.

In order to cooperate with this plan, Zhu Zhanjun directly ordered the cancellation of the attack on the Russians that he had originally planned for next year.

Without the help of the Ming Dynasty, the Indians, having lost their weapons and ammunition, suffered repeated defeats.

In order to prevent the incident from happening again, Da Piaoliang mobilized nearly 60 troops to hunt down the Indians.

Civilians even spontaneously organized shooting teams to assist the army in attacking Indian tribes.

In just two months, the Indians who had been able to fight against the Big Beauty suffered heavy casualties, which was no worse than the massacre they suffered by the cowboys decades ago.

According to the reports of the observers stationed there, the vast grassland was littered with bones, the smell of decay lingered for a long time, and the beasts that ate so much were all fat and plump.

"Aru was released."

In a makeshift camp, a group of disheveled Indians huddled together, staring blankly at the fire, trying to drive away the cold of winter.

Everyone had a dull expression. They couldn't understand why their life, which was apparently quite good, had turned out like this? Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, which made everyone present suddenly alert. Many people slowly stood up and looked towards the direction of the camp gate.

In the wind and snow, a figure leaning on a wooden stick slowly approached.

They were all very familiar with the person who came. He was their former patriarch, who had told them before the army set out that good days were about to come.

Facing the gaze of his tribesmen, Aru lowered his head silently, and walked forward step by step as he was watched by two soldiers.

Half a month ago, Da Piaoliang suddenly released him and told him he could go home.

This surprised Aru a little. He originally thought that as the leader of the rebels, Da Piaoliang would kill him in the most cruel way.

But I didn't expect that they just beat him a few times and told him he could leave before any trial.

Aru, who was sent away, didn't know where to go. He wanted to return to the tribe, but he didn't dare to face his former tribesmen.

Finally he decided to wander.

But as an Indian, it is difficult to survive wandering alone in the current environment, not to mention that he has a broken leg.

There were hunters everywhere who were killing Indians. He was alone, and in order to survive and to see his sister, he had to hide from place to place and keep moving forward.

That morning, when he was looking for food in the snow, he was found by two tribesmen who were on guard.

At first, the two tribesmen thought he was a lost Indian and enthusiastically invited him to their temporary tribe.

As a result, when he saw Aru's face clearly, he was instantly filled with anger. If there had not been a rational person who stopped the angry one, Aru would probably have been beaten to death by now.

"Haha, you still have the nerve to come back. My son, my husband, and my brother were all killed by you, and you still have the nerve to come back."

A woman holding a child suddenly rushed up angrily and started beating Aru with a hammer.

Alu did not resist and allowed himself to be beaten.

"That's enough. We need to take him to see the chief."

Seeing that more people were about to come up, the soldier who still had his senses quickly called over a few of his companions and blocked the tribesmen outside.

Although the people who surrounded them were unwilling, they thought of the clan leader and gritted their teeth and made way.

Alu was roughly pulled up by the guards and pushed into a tent.

Although the tribesmen did not stop him, they followed closely behind.

As the tent got closer, Aru saw a person, someone he had been thinking about day and night.

His sister, who was wearing animal skins, looked at him with complicated eyes.

Alu was surprised and wanted to go forward, but the guards held him back tightly, preventing him from getting even a step closer.

"It's too cold. Go back and rest first. Leave this to me."

A gentle voice was heard, and a cloak was covered over my sister.

Aru looked fiercely at the person holding the cloak, and after confirming who it was, his eyes were filled with regret and guilt.

"Chief, he killed my relatives. It is because of him that we have fallen into this situation. Please give the order to kill him and avenge my relatives and other tribesmen."

The woman holding the child rushed up, knelt in front of the tent, and cried and expressed her request.

"Chief, kill him, kill him!"

Others also roared, including the guards who had brought Alu back.

The chief stretched out his hand, and the crowd stopped shouting. Then they looked at Aru: "Aru, do you have anything else to say?"

Alu looked towards the tent, and a smile appeared on his originally numb expression.

As long as he was sure that his sister was safe, he would feel relieved to have this guy protecting her.

"Where are you going?"

Maybe because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse and no longer as strong as before.

Facing Alu's question, the chief did not refuse to answer, and slowly said: "This place is no longer suitable for us to survive. We have decided to follow the footsteps of our ancestors, take the path we came from, and return to our hometown."

Hearing this answer, Aru's eyes widened suddenly: "You have to cross the Day and Night Strait to reach Ming Dynasty."

The patriarch nodded, confirming Aru's guess.

"You are crazy. With these old people, children, women and children, are you sure you can make it to Ming Dynasty?"

"Why not?" The clan leader said as a matter of course: "As far as I know, when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was young, he brought thirty or forty guards with him and crossed the Sun and Moon Strait to come here, taking away a lot of high-yield grain."

"If a young child can do it, why can't hundreds of us do it?"

"Besides, our ancestors also came from there, why can't we go back?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and two guards controlled Aru.

Alu looked at his brother-in-law as if he were a fool. "You are leading them to die, do you know that?"

The young chief looked at Aru with a firm look in his eyes and said, "I know this journey will be very difficult, but compared to staying here and being slaughtered, I would rather take a gamble with my people!" (End of this chapter)
