Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 945

At the same time, around March of the 28th year of Chongzhen, the Ottoman Empire ushered in a huge turning point.

For a long time, European countries have been procrastinating and reluctant to form an alliance. In the final analysis, it is because there are too many countries, and each country has its own demands. It is really very difficult to reach an agreement.

This made the Ottoman Empire whose territory had been occupied by at least half of the Ming Expeditionary Force. For this reason, the Ottoman Empire did not hesitate to give away the secrets of the rifled guns of the Ming Dynasty to win over European countries to form an alliance.

But who knows, the secret is given out, and European countries like it very much, but when it comes to alliances, disputes begin again, and it is difficult to reach an agreement.

This made the Ottoman Empire very anxious. If it goes on like this, after the Ming Expeditionary Force digests the occupied Middle East, Persia, and Crimea, it is likely to launch a new wave of offensive.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire had already realized very clearly that on their own, even if the strait was a natural danger, they could not stop the Ming Expeditionary Army.

Just when they were in a hurry and had nothing to do with these European gentlemen, the matter of forming an alliance suddenly took another turn.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the measures implemented by the Ming Expeditionary Army in the occupied areas have spread, which shocked the European gentlemen.

The policy of the Ming Dynasty is to kill the nobles who occupy the land, and then take the land, houses, and wealth of the nobles as their own.If it's just this, it's nothing. The most important thing is that they will distribute part of it to the poor and untouchables, so that those poor and untouchables will no longer resist the rule of the Ming Expeditionary Army.

For them, that would be intolerable.

This measure, no matter it is used by any country, will be very difficult to deal with.No one can guarantee that the poor and untouchables in their own country will not fight back and fall to the Ming country.

Although the European nobles looked down on the poor and untouchables based on blood, they also knew that this was the basis of their rule and the basis of enjoying the treatment of others.Once there is a problem with this foundation, it will be a big trouble.

At this time, the European side also learned about the religious situation of the Ming Empire. It was no longer monotheism, and it had to be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. This was not something the religious leaders on the European side could bear.

Once the two aspects are combined, the alliance will become smoother at once.

The European countries and the Ottoman Empire blocked the news of the Ming Empire, and at the same time, they all showed sincerity to deal with the alliance.

They believed that the reason why the Ming army was so powerful was that their weapons were too powerful.Otherwise, with that little force, how could it be possible for one country to push the other country horizontally!

Therefore, they began to gather the power of the whole of Europe to vigorously develop the production of rifled flintlock guns, and of course, the same is true for rifled artillery.

In addition, set up the headquarters of the Allied Forces and recommend leading figures.In the end, the leaders of the Allies were Condé the Great in France, Cromwell in England, Karl X Gustaf in Sweden, Johan III Sobieski in Poland-Lithuania, and Kara Muss in the Ottoman Empire. Tafa Pasha was the supreme conductor.

Unfortunately, Spain, the original European power, has declined by this time, and Spain's position has been replaced by France.

According to the results of their discussions, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and Spain formed a coalition to attack the Ming army in the Middle East through the Mediterranean Sea, especially the Ming army that was building the Suez Canal.

Other countries, under the command of Karl X Gustaf, John III Sobieski, and Kara Mustafa Pasha, attacked the Ming army from Ukraine to the Volga Valley.

Prior to this, in April of the 28th year of Chongzhen, the Mediterranean coalition forces attacked Portugal, the minion of the Ming Empire.

Although Portugal at this time did not publicly declare it to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch tried their best to prove that the Portuguese were the running dogs of the Ming Empire, and there were always traces of the Portuguese in the navy of the Ming Expeditionary Army.Therefore, it can be concluded that the Portuguese are the lackeys of the Ming Empire!

Originally, Portugal was a little powerless in the face of Spain's suppression. It was attacked by so many countries and had no resistance at all.Except for a few people, such as the Joao IV family who escaped from Lisbon, no one else had time to escape.

Compared with the original history, the situation in Europe has changed beyond recognition!

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

It is impossible for the Ming Expeditionary Army not to know about such a big movement in Europe.

No, on the side of the Volga River Basin, the governor’s yamen, from time to time, generals came to ask for a fight, especially the Cossacks who joined the Ming Dynasty at the end.

Bohong fought bravely, and was the most active member of the Cossacks to join Daming. His military rank was already one of the highest among the Cossacks. He became a general. On this day, he returned to the Volga River on business At that time, he asked Zhang Huangyan to fight again: "Lord Zhongcheng, those countries have been united for a long time. If we don't fight back, it will be difficult to fight when they come together!"

Zhang Huangyan already knew this Bo Hong, and knew that he was straightforward and warlike, so he ignored him and continued to deal with the civil affairs in hand.

Seeing this, Bo Hong scratched his head and continued to speak to Zhang Huangyan: "Although our Cossack cavalry is brave and invincible, we have to admit that the hussars are also very powerful. Now the hussars plus the Ottoman cavalry are still With the combination of Swedish and Tsarist Russian cavalry, once they come to fight, it will be difficult for us to defend, so it is better to let the last general go to fight Tsarist Russia first."

Hearing this, Zhang Huangyan raised his head and glanced at him, and said to him, "You don't need to worry about these things, you have to learn the official language of Daming before you speak, it sounds very awkward to me!"

When Bo Hong heard it, he saw that Mr. Zhongcheng seemed to have a smile on his face, so he pushed forward and said: "Mr. Zhongcheng, the general has already learned it, but he just needs time to talk, and it will be fine if he talks too much. You will hear that those Xiyi have already built rifled guns, and they are almost catching up with us, this matter..."

In the past, he himself was also a part of Xiyi. After surrendering to Daming, he learned to speak with the military supervisor. If he learned a lot, he would be influenced. Moreover, after they surrendered to Daming, their lives were better, and they also longed to become a real member of Daming. Therefore, they also called the Europeans Xiyi along with the natives of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Bohong actually knew that they were all equipped with breech-loading guns, which were much ahead of Xiyi's most advanced rifled guns.However, this does not prevent him from thinking that the sooner he can attack Xiyi, the better it is to take the initiative to attack Xiyi!

From a purely military point of view, it is true.Taking the initiative to attack and destroying each one is definitely better than the enemy gathering a large army to attack.

No, Bo Hong tried his best to analyze it for Zhang Huangyan, saying that waiting for the enemy to gather a superior force, and the cavalry is still so famous and powerful, when the big battle starts, even if the Ming army has an advantage in firearms, it will be difficult to resist .

Seeing that he became more and more excited as he talked, the foam was flying all over Zhang Huangyan's desk: "...Lord Zhongcheng, you really don't know what a cavalry battle will be like. Hurry up, you can't resist the cavalry's charge, even if you can kill some, the enemy's cavalry will definitely rush forward, and at that time, whoever has the most troops will have the upper hand..."

While he was talking, suddenly, Zhang Huangyan's desk rang loudly.

When Bo Hong saw it, he immediately shut up. He obviously had a sense of proportion in his heart, when he could speak, and when he couldn't disturb Mr. Zhong Cheng.

When Zhang Huangyan heard the phone ring, he reached out to pick up the receiver and said, "This is Zhang Huangyan... oh... ok..."

When Bo Hong saw this phone for the first time, he felt it was unbelievable, which shattered his three views.But later, after telephones were set up between all the yamen in the Volga River Basin, he was no longer surprised, and even had a chance to use it once.

At this time, Zhang Huangyan finished listening to the phone, put down the phone, looked at Bo Hong, and said with a smile: "What you just said is actually quite reasonable, and I think what you said is quite right. But you don't understand the imperial court's gewu Just how good you have learned. Just now the train station notified that the military ranks have arrived, let’s go, I’ll take you to see some good things!”

When he was talking, he had already bypassed the case table. Seeing that Bo Hong was a little puzzled, he explained: "The new invention of the imperial court has arrived, the nemesis of the cavalry, hehe, let those Western barbarians gather their troops, Let's save us from trouble with them!"

The nemesis of the cavalry?
When Bo Hong heard this, this thought flashed through his mind, and he was a little disapproving.

It is true that the court's breech-loading gun has a very fast rate of fire, but he has already analyzed it to Mr. Zhongcheng just now. No matter how fast this gun is, it will not be able to kill a few cavalrymen, and it will be approached by the cavalry!
He was thinking, but he heard Zhang Huangyan order his personal guards as he walked out: "Order the guerrilla and above generals from all over the place to gather in the first-level area!"

Class A areas are actually military restricted areas, and those with blockades and idlers are not allowed to enter.

When Bo Hong, who was following behind, heard this, he became a little suspicious: Mr. Zhongcheng summoned the generals above guerrilla, so there must be a cavalry nemesis, and that's why there was such a call, right?
However, he couldn't figure it out, what kind of weapon could be considered the nemesis of cavalry?
As a Cossack, he is proud of cavalry tactics. He somewhat resists the word cavalry nemesis in his heart, and secretly decides that he must find out the shortcomings to refute what cavalry nemesis is!
The cavalry is the most powerful army in the world, so what kind of nemesis will there be?
