Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 935 is back

When Abbas II woke up, the whole army was already in disintegration.The body of his prime minister, carried by the guards, escaped with him!

Soon, he understood what had happened, and then felt a little hopeless.

Khalifa Sultan's strategy is not bad, in fact, he successfully ambushed the enemy; but, in the face of absolute strength, even if he was ambushed, so what!
The combat power of the Ming army far exceeded his imagination.Especially the latest muskets of the Ming army, which can make them lie on the ground and shoot, and the rate of fire is many times faster than their muskets!
This is really impossible to fight!

Abbas II has no confidence, let alone ordinary Persian soldiers.When they retreated all the way, before they reached Isfahan, they heard the news that the capital had fallen.

In this regard, Abbas II was not surprised at all.

Of course he would not die, so he bypassed Isfahan and fled to the Ottoman Empire.It is a bit ironic that Darashuko, the great prince of the Mughal Empire, was also escaped by him, and fled to the Ottoman Empire with Abbas II.

On the side of the Ming army, they did not pursue them, but divided their troops to wipe out the interior of the Persian Empire, and used thunder to suppress the Persians who did not surrender immediately.

On the Persian Gulf side, the navy traveled upstream along the Tigris River to attack Baghdad and other places.These places now belong to the Ottoman Empire.However, it doesn't matter at this time, the Ottoman Empire must also fight.

In addition, one of the key points of Li Yan's attention is to send the navy to go south along the coastline, all the way to North Africa, to control both sides of the Red Sea. The ultimate goal is to control the Suez Canal Basin of later generations.The captives were then used to dig the Suez Canal.

The task of the Ming army at the current stage is mainly to occupy the coastal cities. If it goes deep into the interior, more troops are needed.

The entire Middle East region will be under the direct control of the Ming Empire. Therefore, it is impossible to destroy most of the enemies like the Mughal Empire and leave it to the vassals to finish it off.

This territory directly under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty can be large and sparsely populated, but it must be under the control of Ming Dynasty and belong to the territory of Ming Dynasty.For a long time in the future, Li Yan will be in charge of this Middle Eastern province instead of continuing to expand the territory.

However, others obviously do not know.

The Ming Expeditionary Force violently attacked all countries and tribes in Persia and the Middle East with such an overwhelming posture, which scared all the surrounding tribes and countries.

Bear the brunt, of course, is the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire at this time was still under the rule of Duhen Hatija, because her son Mehmet IV was too young to be in charge.

She heard the Dutch who fled to the territory of the Ottoman Empire, that is, Kui Yi and others, shouting that the Ming army came to kill them, and the "yellow peril" came again.

Then Abbas II, the emperor of the Persian Empire, escaped again, calling the Ming army to kill him, and the "yellow peril" came again.

And Dara Shuke, the eldest prince of the Mughal Empire, fled there, still shouting that the Ming army came to kill him, and the "yellow peril" came again.

In addition, today's Middle East, most of which is the territory of the Ottoman Empire, was indeed attacked by the Ming army, and Duhen Hatijie was so scared that he didn't know what to do!
Because not only the Ming army on the side of the Persian Empire, but also the Ming army on the Volga River Basin. After the Cossack tribe joined the Ming army, the Cossacks led the Ming army into the territory of the Crimean Khanate, saying that it was for other In the battle of Lestechko, Khmelnytsky was detained by the Crimeans, which led to the mass death of the Cossacks.

The Crimean Khanate could not stop the attack of the Ming cavalry at all, and urgently asked for help from the suzerain state of the Ottoman Empire.

All these, a very simple and clear fact is that the Ottoman Empire is likely to be the next country to be attacked by the Ming Dynasty.According to various sources, the Ming army seemed to be invincible, and Duhen Hartijie couldn't help but panic.

The important minister of the Ottoman Empire, Koprilu Muhammad Pasha, proposed to abandon the area east of the Black Sea Strait and use the natural danger of the Black Sea Strait to fully defend against the attack of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, he also suggested that relying on the strength of the Ottoman Empire alone might not be able to withstand the attack of the Ming Empire's army, so it is necessary to find as many allies as possible.

In other words, it is to abandon religious and racial prejudice, stop fighting with European countries, send envoys, lobby all European countries, and unite to resist the attack of the Ming Empire!
Otherwise, it is likely to reproduce the tragedy of the Mongolian Empire sweeping across Europe!
Kui Yi, as well as the British and Danes who had escaped, all agreed.Abbas II and Darashuko also showed their own experiences, trying their best to prove the strength of the Ming army, and they must unite to defeat the Ming army!
In short, they believe that the current Ming Empire is stronger than the previous Mongol Empire!
At this time, the appearance of a space-time communication application software finally completely affected Europe here.

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

At the same time, on the Pacific coast of South America, a fleet was sailing south.

There are about fifty ships in this fleet, most of them are ordinary Fuchuan, about ten are steam paddle wheeled warships with sails, and three are steam iron armored warships without paddle wheels. kind of.

Don't say that Fu Chuan is a unique long-distance ship of Ming Dynasty, but only steam ships, which are only available in Ming Dynasty at present. Europe is still experimenting, so it is not so easy to build.

Therefore, this fleet undoubtedly belongs to Daming.From one of the armored steam warships flying the "Zheng" flag, it can be known that this is the American fleet led by Zheng Zhilong, the captain of the Ming Navy.

After the Ming Dynasty conquered the Wa Kingdom, and built supply stations along the Pacific islands, it became common practice to cross the Pacific Ocean on a large scale.

With steam engines as power, it is no longer necessary to rely on wind direction or ocean currents, not to mention, there is an ocean current from the west coast of the Pacific Ocean to the east coast from the country of Wa.This current is also the route used by Spanish treasure ships to cross the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, on this plane, Spain in Luzon has been wiped out by Ming, and there is no so-called Spanish treasure ship across the Pacific Ocean.

Emperor Chongzhen's own son went to North America, and he also followed this road, which started last year.After the vassal army landed on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, they first captured New Mexico in Spain, and then developed based on this.

Today, Zheng Zhilong, following the order of Emperor Chongzhen, also crosses the Pacific Ocean along this route and heads to South America.

The blessing boats behind are basically transport ships, transporting coal and other materials needed by steam engines, as well as marines.

On the deck of the flagship, which is one of the steam armored warships, Zheng Zhilong was standing here, looking at the coastline in the far south with a telescope, and asked the people beside him: "Is your hometown near here?"

"Return to your lord, it's not far ahead!" One of the soldiers of the Ming army beside him, who seemed to be the general flag, replied Zheng Zhilong with an excited expression, "This subordinate has already recognized it. In the distant mountains, It is our hometown!"

These dozen or so Ming army soldiers standing beside Zheng Zhilong with excited faces were the Indians that Zheng Zhibao had taken away from South America.The one who answered Zheng Zhilong's words was Qian Muming, the smartest among them. With his military exploits, he was promoted to the general banner and became a low-level officer in the Ming army.

Seeing the prosperity of Ming Dynasty and witnessing its strength, these Indians underwent a radical change.

When I first arrived in Daming, I stuttered Mandarin with a southern Hokkien accent, but now I speak authentic Daming Mandarin.Including their appearance and posture, at first glance, they are actually not much different from the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are some differences between the Indians and the common people of Ming Dynasty, but they want to integrate into Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, change themselves deliberately, and eventually become more and more like people of Ming Dynasty.

With the strength of Ming Dynasty, more and more neighboring countries were conquered, especially the destruction of Spain, the expulsion of the Netherlands, and Portugal as the minion of Ming Dynasty. The witnesses of these things made them very eager to fight back one day.

They always remembered that when he took them away from their hometown, Master Zheng Zhibao told them that one day, he would take them to rescue their families and compatriots.

Daming is prosperous, but it is a lie to say that Qian Muming and the others will not miss their hometown.Because their relatives are still in their hometown, they are colonized by the Spaniards, and they live in dire straits every day, so how can they not be worried!

Qian Muming and others have been waiting and waiting, and now, finally, this day has come.

After a long voyage, they finally saw the familiar mountain peaks in the distance. Thanks to their many years in the army, they did not lose their composure, but their excitement could not be suppressed no matter what.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong understood their feelings and didn't take it seriously. He continued to observe the front with a telescope. Remember anything, do you need to add anything?"

After hearing this, Qian Muming immediately replied: "There is a town built by the Spaniards on the coast ahead, called Lima, which can be sailed along the Apurimac River to Lima. In the few years before we left, they ..."

In fact, basically, what has to be said has basically been said before.Now that they are back again, Qian Muming and others basically can't add much content.

As I was talking, I saw that there seemed to be Indian canoes fishing at the mouth of the Apurimac River.

There was a bit of commotion on the side of the Ming Fleet. The Indians had never seen a smoking ship, and it was still made of iron, so they all stayed there.When Qian Muming and the others saw the familiar figure, they were immediately excited.
