Regarding the gift of Black Snake Princess to Zhu Zhanzhen, it was actually not a whim, but a matter of proper consideration.
Batur has now become a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has given him preferential treatment, but this preferential treatment requires actual actions. If he cannot prove his worth, then this preferential treatment will disappear at any time and is likely to be abandoned.
He needs to consolidate his position. Now he has no way out. In this era, in order to consolidate the relationship between the two parties, the most common method is marriage. And it is impossible for Ming Dynasty to use his own princess to marry him. The only way is
Marry his daughter to a high-ranking Ming official.
Moreover, Black Snake Ji also recommended herself to the Ming Dynasty for marriage.
Originally, Batur felt sorry for his daughter. After all, in her daughter's words, the Prince of Pearl River County was ugly, short, wretched, and rickety. He was the real version of Wu Dalang. Such a marriage was indeed aggrieved.
Only when I met the real person did I realize that my daughter was really grown up and she couldn't help it.
He also knew that under normal circumstances, the Ming Dynasty would not refuse this marriage request. After all, the Ming Dynasty also expected him to work for him to conquer the Chagatai Khanate. He was just a concubine of a county king. It was not an unreasonable request.
What is this called? This is called Zhu Zhanzhen dying for his country.
Several people started to discuss the next steps of the Western Expedition in the city of Verum non-stop. Batur had a more confident map of the Chagatai Khanate and the deployment of troops, which was very helpful for the subsequent war.
The Prince of Han looked at the map and said: "The final goal of continuing the Western Expedition is Kashgar. The opportunity for a large city along the Chagatai Khanate lies along a line. We can only fight along this line, and the enemy will inevitably follow."
It will be heavily guarded. King Jin Han, you know the terrain and routes well. Do you have any good surprise attack routes?"
Batur shook his head: "King of Han, the Chagatai Khanate is no better than the Central Plains. The reason why the cities are mainly located on this line is because only this line is suitable for survival. Other places such as the Gobi and deserts, let alone survival, will be avoided even when passing by.
, so we can only attack along this route, but our army is equipped with powerful equipment and the defenses of these cities are insufficient, so they will definitely not be able to stop our army."
Going further west from the Chagatai Khanate, if there is no guide, let alone fighting, it is easy to get lost just walking this way.
"King Jin Han, it seems that I have to rely on you for this expedition."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. Since you are already a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you have to contribute to the Ming Dynasty."
With Jin Han leading the way, you don't have to worry about getting lost.
"Going west, the most worrying thing is the long supply line. This road is vast and sparsely populated, and supplies are scarce. Supply is very important."
Both the King of Han and Zhu Zhanyi set their sights on Zhu Zhanyi.
"I will order people to set off with the army and set up temporary road sign points along the way to avoid mistakes in the subsequent supply routes. We have a long supply line, but the terrain here also makes the opponent want to make large-scale detours to attack our supply areas.
It is very difficult, there are advantages and disadvantages, I will guarantee the follow-up supply of food, grass and ammunition for you, Uncle Er, to fight on the front line."
"I feel reassured by what you Zhanzong said. Soldiers are valuable and quick. I plan to lead the troops to set off in three days. King Jin Han and your army will also set off. We will send out the guards of the three cities of Weilumu, Tingzhou and Turpan."
When troops from the pass are mobilized, Zhan Chang, you can take charge of Weilu Mu."
"Yes." Zhu Zhanchen nodded.
These three cities have just been captured, and resistance may occur at any time. Now that the original army has been taken away and our army is stationed, Zhu Zhanzhen must stabilize the people here. Otherwise, if the three cities are lost, our army will have no city to rely on.
"King Jin Han, please take me to see Weelumu's granary first." Zhu Zhanyi had to see how much grain Weelumu had first.
Since they have surrendered, the things in Weelumu are naturally dedicated to the Ming Dynasty.
"I still want to discuss the offensive strategy with the King of Han. I also ask the King of Zhujiang County to forgive me and let Aliya accompany you."
Zhu Zhanzhen was a little embarrassed, but nodded.
The two of them rode their horses and whipped their whips and walked to the street. When the people of Weilumu saw the Ming army, they all turned to people, fearing that they would be arrested if they blocked the road.
"What are you doing so far away from me?" Black Snake Girl asked after realizing that Zhu Zhanzhen was deliberately keeping a distance from her.
"It is rumored that you cannibalize people."
"You have never looked so cowardly before."
"You were chained back then."
"Then your Highness means that I still have to tie myself up?"
"No need."
Zhu Zhanzhen has always been wary of Black Snake Ji. Although Batur has surrendered, he has done such an excessive thing to Black Snake Ji after all. I believe she must also hold a grudge, so he does not dare to let himself be alone.
What should I do if the other party has murderous intentions? Although I have practiced martial arts in the past few years, ordinary people are not my match, but after all, that is the notorious Black Snake Princess.
When they came to the granary, Verumu's granary was unusually rich, because in order to resist the Ming army, Chagatai concentrated almost all the resources in the east on Verumu. If Verumu did not surrender, these grains would be enough for them to eat for three people.
It would take at least a month for the Ming Dynasty to defeat Verumu, and the casualties would naturally increase a lot.
"King Jin Han really gave me a great gift."
"Are you talking about me?" Black Snake Girl's voice rang in her ears. She didn't know when Black Snake Girl came closer quietly.
Zhu Zhanzhen took two steps back: "I'm talking about the granary. This granary is enough for us to supply the front line. King Jin Han must be remembered for this matter."
After watching the granary, when night fell, Zhu Zhanzhen went to King Jin Han's house. At this time, the house had been replaced by Ming army guards, serving as their base camp in Werumu.
After dinner, Zhu Zhanzhen read the official documents in his room. There were many things that needed to be dealt with, and now he had to add the stable work of the mother city of Veru.
When the night got a little deeper, the door slowly opened. I thought someone was coming to deliver the evening soup, but when I looked closely, it was Black Snake Princess.
Zhu Zhanchen hurriedly showed a defensive posture, and Xiaosheng was about to call someone.
"Your Highness, Prince Han asked me to bring you tea."
Black Snake Ji had changed into a military uniform at this time and put on a pair of ordinary clothes. Without the military uniform, she looked less burly. Instead, her figure was very well-proportioned, but she was very tall.
She put down the tea and said softly: "Your Highness, since my father has given me to Your Highness, I will naturally serve Your Highness."
"Black Snake Princess is very skilled in martial arts, I can't tolerate it. Just put down the tea."
Unexpectedly, Black Snake Ji took out an iron chain at this time. In the surprised eyes of the two people, the iron chain was swung around her hand twice, and then Black Snake Ji locked the lock with her mouth and locked it.
His hands were tied.
The pink tongue flicked out the key and dropped it to the ground.
"Does this make your Highness feel more at ease?"
Damn, do you want to play like this? Bondage?
But others are tied with red ropes, and you are tied with finely forged iron chains. Have you misunderstood? I am not a good person.
Xiaosheng was still a sensible person, and he immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness, there are some official documents in the other courtyard, I will get them for you right now." After saying that, he exited the room and closed the door.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Zhanzhen asked awkwardly.
"Don't you like this, Your Highness?"
"Misunderstood." Zhu Zhanchen picked up the tea without changing his expression. Just as he was about to drink it, he asked again: "Is there no poison in it?"
Black Snake Girl stretched out her hand, took the teacup in her hand, poured the tea into her mouth and swallowed it with two gulps.
Fine droplets of water flowed from her mouth down her throat and fell into the abyss.
"If Your Highness is worried, you can tie my feet too, or any other place."
Did you understand wrongly? I don’t have this special hobby. I probably don’t.
