Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 650
Bai Mingxiu had to leave the House of the Republic ahead of time to discuss matters. Obviously, the Qing army's breakthrough in Franche-Comté had already brought the biggest change to the entire battle situation.

"Cheng Lin, you're really amazing." Bai Mingxiu couldn't help having this thought when he was sitting in the car back to the Taiping Palace.

Chenglin was just a spy provided by the system at first, but what Chenglin has done now is beyond what ordinary spies can do.This spy actually became a military strategist.Bai Mingxiu was confident that there were commanders with outstanding commanding abilities such as Su Shuhuan in the Ming army, but Bai Mingxiu felt that a man of Chenglin's ability would probably be outstanding if he were put into the Ming army.

He also slightly regretted letting go of such an outstanding general.

Because Cheng Lin was on the second line, the battle in the lowlands was fought by Mu occupying soldiers, and it dragged on for several months, which made Fei Yanggu very dissatisfied.As a result, after receiving Bai Mingxiu's order, Cheng Lin immediately replaced Mu Zhan on the front line, and dispatched vigorous young generals Uleden and Krasnov, so they defeated the old and prudent French general Grand Duke Luxembourg in one fell swoop.

The Netherlands was almost completely lost in this battle, and Amsterdam was also occupied by the Qing army. A large number of Dutch people, including William, fled the Netherlands by boat. Many people came to Britain on the other side, and some ran to France.However, some ships of the Ming Dynasty announced that the Ming Dynasty would open the Caribbean and jointly announce the consolation to refugees from European wars, so a considerable proportion of Europeans went to places such as Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica.

In fact, many Germans and Poles who could not bear the rule of the Western Qing also fled to the Caribbean, and the Ming Dynasty has already introduced a strategy for resettling refugees.Putting these European refugees in the Caribbean and controlling their actions, Bai Mingxiu considered preventing them from going to the North American continent and encroaching on the future living space of the Chinese.At the same time, these European refugees will be cheap labor for the development of the Caribbean islands. After all, if Ming provides asylum, they will be required to work.They won't get allotment of land like the common people of Ming Dynasty, and they will have related benefits. If they want to live well, they can only sell their labor force to Ming enterprises.

But this is already a very good thing for them.Staying in the Western Qing occupied area, they are slaves, and they are also exploited. When they come to the colonies ruled by Ming Dynasty, although they have to work, they can at least survive, have a bite of food, and support their families.

As for nobles and wealthy businessmen, there are many more choices.For example, William of Orange, the ruler of the Netherlands, fled to England because he was also the consort of the British princess.Although the United Kingdom has become the Kingdom of Britain, the king has also become Zhu Yongrong.

Although the United Kingdom also sent troops to participate in the Holy Alliance, the establishment of the Kingdom of Britain caused dissatisfaction in Scotland and Ireland, and some armed conflicts occurred, so the United Kingdom is conducting military operations in these two regions.

"How many troops has the Holy Alliance of Europe lost?" Bai Mingxiu returned to the Taiping Palace, where Hou Xiaoqun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Su Shuhuan, Chief of the General Staff, had all come here to wait.

"The losses were huge... The Qing army led by Krasnov detoured back to the European Allied forces and then suddenly launched an attack. Under the cover of local air superiority and artillery superiority, their armored troops directly broke through the European Allied forces. At the defense line, the Dutch were originally going to flood them, but considering that more Dutch people would be drowned, they finally gave up. The Qing army, attacking from both sides, finally cut off the European Allied forces' retreat, causing 23 European troops to Cut off from supplies and at an absolute disadvantage, we had no choice but to surrender to the Qing army."

Bai Mingxiu couldn't help but sigh: "These Europeans..."

Su Shuhuan sighed: "It is impossible not to surrender. These 23 European troops have no supplies and lack sufficient armor. They have been surrounded by 30 Qing troops, and the nearest French army is a few meters away from them. For more than 160 kilometers, the Qing army continued to bomb and shell them, and these European allied forces were meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered."

Hou Xiaoqun said: "The Dutch and Danish armies are the most numerous, with about 16 troops, and the rest are the French and Western armies."

The war has finally come to a new situation that is completely different from what Europeans and even wise people knew before.The large number of people in a war can no longer simply be effective. Weapon advantages, tactical advantages, etc. make even an army with hundreds of thousands of troops, but it will still become as weak as a child.The Holy Alliance of Europe has resisted the Qing army for several months, and they have fought with great vigor.But they didn't expect that once someone broke through the back and destroyed the supplies, they would become powerless.

General Krasnov of the Qing army served as the main commander of this rear outflanking mission. The mechanized troops he led destroyed the most important armored force of the European army like volcanic lava and seized their supplies. .

"The Qing army seized at least 2 T-[-] tanks that we supported to France on the front line, nearly [-] artillery pieces, and a large amount of firearms, ammunition, and even military rations."

Bai Mingxiu was about to cry: "These Europeans, are they the captain of the transportation team?"

Su Shuhuan said: "The French side was greatly shaken. Louis XIV sent his trusted General Villars to gather a large corps of 50 troops to the front line. At the same time, the French side hopes to get the support of our army, especially the immediate air force support. "

Bai Mingxiu had already received many letters from Louis XIV, and even one was written crookedly by Louis XIV in Chinese, with the utmost sincerity.Louis XIV cryptically pointed out that the Ming army had already gathered more than [-] troops in Gibraltar, with sufficient food and powerful equipment. At this time, Europe was facing great difficulties. Ming did not send troops to the front line, but stayed in Gibraltar. Basking in the bright sun of the Mediterranean Sea, this is really not right.Louis XIV implored Ming Dynasty to send troops to the front as soon as possible, which has eased the crisis situation of the Holy Alliance in Europe.

It's just that before Bai Mingxiu had time to write a reply to Louis XIV, Cheng Lin made a little move here, and the European Holy Alliance had already suffered a big loss.

Far away in Mojing, Feiyanggu was greatly encouraged when he learned that Chenglin had won the lowland war, annihilating 6 European troops, capturing 23, and only losing more than 3.Feiyanggu immediately replenished Chenglin's army, bringing Chenglin's army to a huge strength of nearly 70.

A super war with a scale of more than one million, which is rare in human history, kicked off on the land of France.
