Chapter 343: The Mongolian Yuan is destroyed! Rome returns to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Han, is he willing for his children to become ordinary people?
You must know that Zhu Han's status now is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
But Zhu Han is really willing, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who believes in Zhu Han even more.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk, Zhu Han thought of rebelling, and he took every step to push Zhu Yuanzhang to the position of emperor. If Zhu Han really cared about power, he would have nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang in the world.
"Okay, as long as you are happy."
Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless. His younger brother couldn't hold up the wall. What should he do?
…
Western Yuan Dynasty, outside the royal capital.
Daming's tunnel operations have reached three thousand steps away.
The fort has also been set up and can launch an attack at any time.
However, Lan Yu did not take action, he was waiting.
Waiting for Wang Baobao’s reply.
There is no need to speak quickly about the importance of soldiers, and there is no need to consider the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. Today, only this city is left in Xiyuan, and they have no so-called reinforcements at all.
The Ming Dynasty's army has sufficient supplies, and there will be no problem waiting for another ten days and a half.
In the Byzantium at this time, Wang Baobao looked at the Queen Mother Qi kneeling on the ground, and... his child, Bayan Timur.
Wang Baobao smashed Bayan Timur in front of the Great Yuan Protector. His soldiers did not know that Wang Baobao was his biological father.
Moreover, in the understanding of Bayan Timur's little mind, and under the "teaching" of others, he believed that the emperor was supreme and everyone in the world should kneel before the emperor.
But... what happened today?
When she came to see Wang Baobao, the first thing Empress Dowager Qi did was to ask Bayan Timur to kneel on the ground. She just knelt down without saying why.
Empress Dowager Qi felt very uncomfortable. This was because she had talked to Wang Baobao many times in the past few days, but she always asked Wang Baobao to change his mind. However, Wang Baobao did not listen at all. He would fight to the end, even if the fish was dead and the net was broken.
"Grand Master, I don't understand why you are so stubborn. Meng Yuan has become a thing of the past and has no chance to rise again. The Ming Dynasty is in full swing and the army and horses are strong. Even if you resist, how long can you resist?"
Empress Dowager Qi was narrating, but it was more like questioning: "We fled from the central plains back to the northern grasslands, and you said we still had a chance to make a comeback, and I believed it; we fled westward from the grasslands, and you said we could work hard to conquer it and recapture it with force.
I believed everything about us; I moved thousands of miles to Rome with you, and you said we would live a stable life here. I also believed you and was willing to follow you, but now you are still stubborn and don't hit the wall.
Don't look back... I want to ask Grand Master, is my request from you so unworthy of being respected?"
"..."
Faced with Empress Dowager Qi's questioning, Wang Baobao had nothing to say. He also knew that Empress Dowager Qi no longer wanted to be a queen, nor did she want to have rich clothes and food. Years of wandering made her extremely eager to live in peace.
It was precisely this reason that became the reason for Empress Dowager Qi to persuade Wang Baobao to surrender. She could give up everything and just wanted to be safe.
Empress Dowager Qi also knew that she could not achieve whatever she wanted in this world. She had to rely on Wang Baobao for many things. That day Empress Dowager Qi received the news from the envoy. When Wang Baobao woke up, Empress Dowager Qi directly persuaded Wang Baobao to give up.
Useless resistance and surrender to the Ming army, but who is Wang Baobao?
If he wanted to surrender, why wait until now?
Therefore, Wang Baobao directly rejected the words of Empress Dowager Qi and vowed to fight to the end with the Ming Dynasty. No matter how Empress Dowager Qi persuaded her, it was useless. In the end, Empress Dowager Qi was tired. My persuasion was useless, so I will hold your son.
Can we persuade you together, right?
Empress Dowager Qi roped in Bayan Timur and forced Wang Baobao to surrender to the Ming army.
Wang Baobao was very disgusted with this.
It is true that Bayan Timur is his son, but this is an undisclosed secret. Besides, he is the king of a country. Is there any reason for an emperor to kneel down to his ministers?
Wang Baobao looked at Empress Dowager Qi and sighed helplessly.
Empress Dowager Qi came to him at this time, how could he not know the reason?
Today, Meng Yuan no longer has the ability to resist, and failure is an inevitable outcome, but Wang Baobao is unwilling to accept this kind of failure. He has spent his whole life working hard, but in the end it will be in vain, and no one can accept it.
"I, Wang Baobao, will never bring down the Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Baobao seemed to be responding to Empress Dowager Qi, and more like strengthening his own heart. However, when he saw Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur, Wang Baobao's heart still softened.
It was not because of Empress Dowager Qi, but because of Bayan Timur. His father failed to leave a peaceful land to his son. This was his dereliction of duty as a father.
Maybe...it's a good thing that Bayan Timur is alive.
Thinking that Zhao Min is now by Zhu Han's side and under her care, Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur should be able to live a good life.
This may be the last dignity Wang Baobao wants.
Wang Baobao looked at Empress Dowager Qi and said: "I can die, but you can live. Tonight, I will find someone to send you out. If possible... you can change your identity and live a good life. Maybe in the Ming Dynasty, you can become an ordinary person."
The people are not bad either.”
"..."
Empress Dowager Qi opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. She just stood up and pulled Bayan Timur away.
Bayan Timur is only five years old now, and he doesn't understand many things.
But he seemed to be able to feel that there was something unusual about today.
However, Wang Baobao's final decision made Bayan Timur's blood boil with excitement. He thought that this is what a true man should do!
"Mother, why are you leaving? Doesn't the grand master go with us?"
Bayan Timur was held by the Empress Dowager Qi and walked out. He was very confused and said: "Didn't the Grand Master say that this is our home? Where can we go after we leave home?"
Empress Dowager Qi took Bayan Timur's hand and walked out step by step: "My child, this is not our home. Our home is in the far east, where there are endless grasslands. Your... ancestors are all buried there.
I will tell you everything about that land when we get home."
…
Late at night, a carriage drove slowly out of the Byzantine capital and headed straight for the Ming army camp.
After Lan Yu learned the news, she didn't even want to sleep. She got up directly and went to see Empress Dowager Qi and their nominal king Bayan Timur.
When Lan Yu arrived, Zhou Buxin and Zhang Dingbian also rushed over. The moment he saw Empress Dowager Qi, Lan Yu was a little unhappy: "Where is Wang Baobao? Won't he surrender?"
Empress Dowager Qi didn't know Lan Yu's identity, but she could see Lan Yu's status in this camp. Faced with Lan Yu's inquiry, she said, "The Grand Master does not want to surrender. He wants to live and die with Dayuan."
"Haha, to put it nicely, isn't it just that you don't want to face your own failure, you are a coward!"
Lan Yu curled her lips in disdain, not even daring to face her own failure. She was not a hero. As for coexisting with Dayuan, this was bullshit.
If you, Wang Baobao, are so loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why did you sleep with the Empress Dowager Qi? Isn't this act of cuckolding the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty the greatest betrayal?
What Wang Baobao is doing today is both appropriate and rightful, and shameful!
Lan Yu glanced at Empress Dowager Qi, then waved her hand: "Send the mother and son to rest, and then send them back to the Ming Dynasty!"
Compared to the charming Empress Dowager Qi, Lan Yu believed that Wang Baobao was more attractive to him.
Then, Lan Yu gave the order: "Attack the city tomorrow!"
…
Early the next morning, Timur learned that Queen Mother Qi and Bayan Timur were sent away by Wang Baobao. He was very angry and found Wang Baobao. When they met, he shouted angrily: "Wang Baobao, what do you mean? Send the Queen Mother and His Majesty to
Ming Jun, do you really want to see them die?"
Wang Baobao was not angry when faced with Timur's questioning, and said calmly: "My sister is following Zhu Han. Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are both heroes in the world, so they will not embarrass their orphans and widowed mothers."
Will Zhu Han not embarrass their orphans and widowed mothers?
But they were enemies after all. Timur was very angry at Wang Baobao's behavior, and even more angry... Wang Baobao actually made the decision on such an important matter without consulting him. This was not taking him seriously!
Wang Baobao didn't want to explain anything to him, so he said to him: "Get ready to fight, the Ming army will attack the city soon."
"..."
Timur didn't know what to say.
Now he finally knew that the Ming army had been waiting for so many days without attacking the city, and they were just waiting for today.
Having captured Empress Dowager Qi and Bayan Timur, the Great Yuan Dynasty now exists in name only.
Then... let's continue the war!
The Ming army surrounded four gates. In front of each city wall, there were at least twenty artillery pieces and five rocket launchers.
Lan Yu, Zhang Dingbian, and Zhou Buxin each stood in front of a city gate. Lan Yu launched the attack first, and the sound of artillery was deafening. Then the other three city walls fired simultaneously, and for a time the deafening sound of artillery fire covered the entire Byzantine capital.
The Hungarian and Ottoman servants who followed behind were all numb now. They felt extremely frightened when they saw the Ming army's firepower covering Byzantium.
If they and Wang Baobao fought against the Ming Dynasty back then, would the current artillery fire fall on them?
In the final battle, Lan Yu vowed to fight vigorously, and he would reduce this city to ruins.
If you are poor, you will strike with precision, if you are rich, you will be covered with firepower.
Lan Yu watched the cannonballs hit the city wall one after another, and the bricks of the city wall fell off one after another, and there was a huge wave in her heart.
At this moment, Sapphire seems to have been sublimated...
He seemed to see another pattern on the battlefield.
The struggle of the sword age will eventually pass.
The future is the age of artillery.
One day! A whole day! The four walls of the Byzantine capital were blown into ruins. As for the catapult prepared by Wang Baobao, it was turned into a pile of parts before it could be used.
The artillery piled on the city wall was now buried under the ruins.
All of AD's long-range attack equipment was lost in this bombing.
Timur and Wang Baobao, who were hiding in the city, both looked desperate.
The Ming Dynasty's artillery destroyed their last determination to resist, and now they still have tinnitus in their ears...
How should we fight this battle?
Wang Baobao and Timur did not speak. They seemed to have a premonition that their end was coming.
On the second day, the Ming army began to attack the city. One hundred thousand Ming troops plus 60,000 Hungarian and Ottoman servants marched from the periphery.
Lan Yu didn't rush to swallow it in one gulp, but took every step steadily.
He used money, food and supplies to bribe the people in the city and uncovered all the enemies hiding in the dark.
When the sun set, only a lonely royal city remained in the entire Byzantine capital.
At night, Lan Yu once again ordered to stop the attack, organized defenses to prevent Wang Baobao from attacking at night, and then began to bury pots and cook rice, pulling all the artillery from behind.
At night, internal strife broke out inside the palace. Some people who wanted to surrender attacked Wang Baobao and Timur, but they were suppressed by the two men.
Although the rebel forces were suppressed, the strength of Wang Baobao and Timur was greatly weakened... But even if they were not weakened, what could they do?
The Ming Dynasty directly disintegrated the Western Yuan Dynasty that Wang Baobao worked hard to manage with one hand of artillery and the other hand of money.
Tomorrow is probably the day of death, right?
Wang Baobao wanted to have a final battle with Ming Dynasty. He wanted to die standing.
Unfortunately, Ming Dynasty did not give him this opportunity.
The rumbling artillery blasted the palace into pieces in just half a day. Timur, who was organizing his manpower to resist, was directly hit by the cannonball, and his head was directly shattered into pieces.
When the Ming Dynasty's army invaded the royal city, a raging fire was set off in the largest palace. When Lan Yu saw it, he immediately called the sergeants and asked them to organize to put out the fire.
According to what the prisoners said, Wang Baobao was in this palace, but now that it is burning, no one can prove whether he is dead or alive.
In Lan Yu's heart, Wang Baobao must die. He wanted to see his body alive and dead. Now that he was burned to ashes by a fire, how could he prove his identity?
Unfortunately, Lan Yu failed in the end, leaving only a burnt corpse.
Because there was no way to prove that the corpse was Wang Baobao, Lan Yu was so angry that he trampled the corpse into pieces: "Grind the bones into powder and sprinkle them out for me, the general!"
There is no way to prove that he is Wang Baobao, and Lan Yu will not be greedy for credit, but he defeated Rome and conquered Hungary and the Ottomans. These are all real achievements.
However, Lan Yu was not ready to leave just like that, he wanted to do more.
After conquering Rome, Lan Yu returned to the military camp. He has now learned not to show off, nor will he sit on the throne of the royal city after conquering a royal city. Instead, he immediately returned to the military camp to find Zhang Dingbian.
Discussing things: "I heard that there is still land west of Rome? The Valois dynasty has been fighting wars with England and Scotland for many years?"
"Yes, their strength is not a concern, but I think now is not the best time to fight them."
Zhang Dingbian had invaded the Valois Dynasty. He did not think that the Valois Dynasty had any ability to resist the Ming army. However, the Ming army had been fighting for too long. If they continued to fight, the soldiers would be mentally exhausted and could easily overturn.
Seeing that Lan Yu had some thoughts about continuing to attack the Valois Dynasty, Zhang Ding expressed his worries. Lan Yu nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Well, what you said is indeed a question. I will give it to His Royal Highness first.
, Your Majesty, let’s ask them and see what their opinions are.”
