Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 925
For the arrival of the fleet one after another, the one who is most happy is actually Zheng Chenggong, the commander of the navy in Mumbai.

For a long time, he has been very aggrieved by being suppressed by the joint fleet of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom because of the lack of troops.It is also for this reason that he can only watch Li Dingguo continue to make military exploits, while Zheng Chenggong has hardly made much military exploits in the past few years.

But now he is completely different from before, full of vigor and excitement.

Not only have the various fleets been reinforced one after another, but on land, troops have also begun to gather towards Mumbai.It can be said that the most popular place in this area is Mumbai.

Zheng Chenggong was busy, talking to the various commanders who had already arrived, when he heard his personal guards rush in and report: "Marshal, another fleet has arrived, and the steam ironclad battleship has also arrived!"

Hearing this, he was immediately overjoyed, and quickly stood up and said to the generals: "Everyone, go and have a look at our Daming military weapon!"

Of course, he also received a report from the residence, knowing that his father had gone to the Americas, and using the armored battleship as a spearhead, he defeated the Spanish fleet in the Americas in one fell swoop, scaring away the pirates from various European countries.Since then, he has been very eager to have the rumored iron-clad battleship in his navy.

The reason why he didn't dare to fight the enemy's combined fleet before was because their sail warships were better than his, and their sailors were more capable.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare. Although the size of the fleet is important, it is not the most important.Mobility and firepower are the most important.If the gap in these two aspects is a bit large, it is very possible to win more with less.

But now there is no need to worry about this, not to mention, the warships gathered in Mumbai are already several times that of the enemy, and more importantly, there is a "catfish" who is not afraid to fight, whether it is the speed of the ship or the range of the artillery They are much more powerful than the enemy and can easily disrupt the enemy's formation.Although there is only one ship missing, but with the huge fleet as the foundation, Zheng Chenggong's waist is hard at this time.

After boarding the steam iron-clad battleship, Zheng Chenggong was eager to go to war with the enemy fleet immediately, and he must tell them to "rejoice".Punchuk and other generals who came with him to visit were dumbfounded in surprise.

They were ordered to exterminate and suppress the bandits in the territory of Tang and Fuguo. They traveled all the way south, combing from north to south like a comb, and then they did not return to Delhi, but gathered in Mumbai.So, I was fortunate enough to see the strength of Daming's navy.

Looking at the densely packed naval fleet, these "bumps" who have seen the most small and medium-sized sailboats in the Caspian Sea are already very shocked.They didn't expect that Daming had so many warships and transport ships, the most they had ever seen in their life.What's more, I didn't expect that a ship made of iron would not sink in the sea, which is really strange.

Also, that steam engine can drive such a huge thing forward by burning fire like cooking.The cognition of the world in this life has really been refreshed again.

Zheng Chenggong is equally rare, but in front of people like Peng Chuke, he is more reserved.It even went the other way, with the mentality that I know more than you, and immediately said to Peng Chuke and others: "What is this, if the Duke goes to our Daming mainland one day, there will be more rare things there, please look at it!" Don't come."

As he said that, he began to introduce trains, cement and other things that have emerged over the years to Punchuk and others.There were some things that he hadn't seen because he came out early, but it didn't prevent him from introducing them proudly, because he had learned about them through the Dibao.

While listening to Zheng Chenggong's introduction while touching the side of the iron-clad warship, Peng Chuke and others felt a longing in their hearts that they had never had before. For the first time, they had a strong idea that they must visit the mainland of Daming.

........................

Compared with the excitement of the Ming army, Abbas II, the Persian emperor who once again escaped and ascended to heaven, was definitely not so happy.Of course he didn't know that he could escape, but it was actually the reason why the Ming army released the water.But even so, after he went all the way into Persia, there were only a hundred riders around him, which was much worse than the last time he escaped.

That's not to mention, along the way, he saw that the cities captured by Li Dingguo were occupied by those untouchables. Seeing them, he even wanted to keep them.There are more than one or two cities like this, and his mood is even worse.

This is the consequence that he had to bear when he did not choose to return to defense, but to attack against attack.

Along the way, he didn't dare to show his banner, but walked away in embarrassment.If you don't eat or drink, you attack those untouchables, they deserve to die anyway.More people can't beat it, but fewer people are always okay.

But even so, when Abbas II finally arrived at a town controlled by the imperial court, there were only about seventy people around him.

It's finally safe!When Abbas II breathed a sigh of relief and entered the city, with his wisdom, he discovered something was wrong again.

Although he played the banner, he couldn't feel the original respect.On the contrary, the local officials mostly asked him about his war, saying that there were rumors in Persia that the Persian Empire army he led had been wiped out.

However, the reasons are different. Some rumors say that it was wiped out by the Ming army.There are also rumors that the Ottoman Empire had a black heart and attacked the Persian army, causing internal strife.

The reason for these rumors is that the Ming army has been raging in Persia, but Abbas II has not seen back.

The wise Abbas II immediately changed his mind. Even though he looked embarrassed, he denied the real situation that the army he led had been wiped out.Faintly feeling that the position under his buttocks was a little unstable, he immediately ended his rest and instead traveled day and night to his capital.

As he expected, the rampage of Li Dingguo's troops in Persia this time has dealt a great blow to his prestige.

According to what Abbas II saw and heard along the way, especially his feelings after entering the capital, let him confirm that if the news of his entire army's annihilation is confirmed, and he ignores the news of Li Dingguo's troops If it is also spread, I am afraid that the position of the emperor will not be available.

Abbas II was afraid of the coming tomorrow. After entering the capital, he did not wait for others to figure out the situation, and he started to act with lightning speed.

He first sealed all the subordinates who had escaped with him to important positions in the army, and then personally summoned the Dutch and British mercenaries who were originally invited to station here, and made another promise to win over these mercenaries.

After these measures were taken, Abbas II began to eradicate those who disagreed with him with iron blood.There are also those families who followed him and suffered a lot of losses. In order to prevent them from feeling resentful, they ransacked their families and wiped out their families, just to get a sum of money.

Abbas II actually didn't want to do this, but he knew it very well.Two defeats, especially this one, had drained his prestige.And he bowed his head to his world-enemy Ottoman Empire, which also broke the hearts of many people.

The annihilation of the entire army this time caused heavy losses to his confidant army.If he does not reshuffle the forces in Persia, he will never have a good life.

As a result, there was a bloodbath within the Persian Empire.Many people were killed, and many people rebelled when they realized something was wrong.

However, these people did not intend to betray the Safavid dynasty, they were only dissatisfied with Abbas II because of his consecutive defeats. At most, they wanted to replace Abbas II and support another person as the emperor of the Safavid dynasty. .And many of them still hesitate to do this.

Therefore, these rebels did not have much preparation in the early stage, which is why Abbas II wanted to use thunder to suppress all threats.

Abbas II is definitely a capable monarch, otherwise, it would not be possible to become one of the few successful monarchs in the history of the Safi dynasty.Under his iron blood, basically no rebel army could withstand his thunder offensive.

In addition to suppressing domestic rebellions and consolidating his imperial power, Abbas II was also worried about the revenge of the Ming army, so he began to publicize the threat of the Ming army, declaring to the world that the previous yellow peril would come again. The great catastrophe, we must all unite together to resist this catastrophe.

On the side of the Ottoman Empire, he estimated that he was doomed, but he also sent an envoy to check the situation.In the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, he also instilled his concept of catastrophe, and also sent envoys to European countries and the Vatican, places that belonged to their sworn enemies, in an attempt to persuade them to send troops to resist the coming "yellow peril" , to avoid the doomsday for all nations again!

………………

Abbas II's dying behavior, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew it clearly.He didn't care about that.

In fact, what Abbas II said was right, the rise of Ming Dynasty was obviously to compete with them for world hegemony.For countries in Central Asia, as well as European countries, it is a catastrophe, yes!
This time I am deploying troops and generals, and I am preparing for a possible future war.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think that just relying on Abbas II to call, those Europeans would unite and fight side by side with him.

To be honest, they are also mortal enemies, just because of those unspeakable reasons.To be honest, Daming is more tolerant.As long as it is under the control of imperial power or secular power, everything is allowed.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's own estimate, at least when Persia and Ottoman were wiped out, it was impossible for Ming to be an enemy of the whole of Europe.

In this way, he can continue to dispatch troops from Daming.Speaking of which, Lu Xiangsheng refused to accept his old age, and had called for many battles.That guy is not happy to let him have a good rest after fighting too many battles!
