Chapter 1309 Entrapment
As soon as he entered the palace and saw Charles I for the first time, Wedel even saluted perfunctorily, and then hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, something big has happened, good news, good news!"

Charles I was confused, what happened, is it good news?
He also saw that, to make Wedell so excited, it is estimated that things are really big.Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help being a little curious, and quickly asked, "What's the big deal, tell me quickly!"

"Your Highness, the latest news is that the Ming Dynasty captured the Portuguese in Colombo and Goa, and the Portuguese there hardly escaped, and they were all wiped out by the Ming Dynasty!" Wedel said excitedly, "The Portuguese suffered heavy losses. , it can be regarded as being severely taught by the Ming Dynasty again!"

When Charles I heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. The Portuguese sent someone to contact him before, but the Portuguese just put him off.

Wedel noticed the change in Charles I's face, and continued: "However, the governor of Colombo, Shivela, has escaped back. He has stayed in the Ming country before, and knows the reality of the Ming country. Now he has been taught a lesson this time, and he returned to the country. After that, he tried his best to publicize the strength of the Ming country, and said that the current Ming country is not small, and I am afraid that Europe will fight over. He also said that the Ming country today is more powerful than the barbarians on the grassland hundreds of years ago. Even worse, if we don't unite against Ming, then Europe will become a vassal of Ming!"

After he finished speaking, looking at Charles I, he felt that Charles I should be more happy, because with Shivela's propaganda, Britain's plan to unite European countries against the Ming Dynasty would be implemented more easily.

However, he found that Charles I's face was a little pale.Suddenly, he understood that Charles I must have been frightened.

Sure enough, Charles I asked in a low voice: "Is that big eastern country really that powerful, stronger than the Mongolian Tartars before?"

"Your Highness, the Mongol Tartars don't have sailing warships like the sea!" Wedel didn't want to lie, but said truthfully.

Hearing this, Charles I's face turned pale again. If it was the former Mongol Tartars, they didn't have ships, at least Britain wouldn't have to worry.Now that big country in the east has countless sailing warships, doesn't that mean that Britain is also in danger?

In the past, he wanted to unite European countries to deal with the eastern powers, and more importantly, he wanted to force the eastern powers to submit and provide as many commodities as required by Europe.But at this time, what he thought of was that the Ming country was too powerful, and it was the alliance of European countries to protect themselves!
However, Charles I still couldn't believe that the great eastern country was so powerful!However, Wedell has experienced the fleet of the great eastern powers, so the possibility of lying in this regard is very low.And the eastern powers captured Colombo and Goa also relied on sailing warships, just like they went to the east.

Thinking of this, he found a possibility, and wanted to comfort himself, so he asked Wedell: "Then the army of the Ming Dynasty should not be very good, right? At least it is weaker than the previous Mongol Tartars, right?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of Charles I, Wedel couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and replied honestly: "If it was before, I might not be able to answer this question. But this time I came back, but brought back two News. One news, I have already mentioned it just now, and there is another news, which can just answer your Highness's question."

Hearing this, Charles I felt a "thump" in his heart, feeling a little bad, and quickly asked: "What news? Tell me quickly!"

Wedel didn't make a decision, but immediately replied: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty is on the side of Tsarist Russia. There are only 1 horsemen, and they defeated the Mongol Tartars more than [-] years ago, and the entire clan was wiped out!"

"..." Hearing this, Charles I was shocked and speechless, and he didn't respond.Only [-] riders, and they killed tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars before?This...how is this possible!
After being stunned for a while, Charles I suddenly heard something, and quickly asked again: "You mean, you heard it? I heard that it must be inaccurate. How could it be eight hundred to tens of thousands? Even if it is tens of thousands of pigs, if you let 800 people kill them, that would be enough to kill them, let alone tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars!"

"Your Highness, I think this is true in all likelihood!" Wedel poured cold water on Charles I head-on, "This news has been spread with nose and eyes. The leader of the eight hundred cavalry is still one A 17-year-old boy named Dingguo Li. Tsarist Russia is already very nervous. They have already sent envoys to Poland and Sweden, willing to cede the land and request these countries to send troops to help them resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty."

At this time, Tsarist Russia was not strong, and it was the master who was bullied by Poland.Therefore, Charles I did not feel much horror.But, no matter what, since this has happened, it means that the army of the Ming Dynasty is indeed very strong!
After thinking about it for a while, he found that the power of the big country in the east has expanded a lot.On the sea, it has already passed the front line of Goa and Lion Country, and will soon reach the Middle East.On land, it is about to hit Tsarist Russia. It really deserves to be a big country in the East, and it has enough manpower to expand in an all-round way.

Wedel saw that Charles I was in a daze, but he didn't care, and continued to play the right way: "Your Highness, I thought the previous decision to unite European countries against the Ming Dynasty was correct! Now the Portuguese and the Dutch should be fine. I will definitely agree to our proposal to form an alliance against Ming. For other countries, I think I can send people to talk about it, and there should be countries that will agree to join. At that time, all European countries as far north as Tsarist Russia will unite and believe that It will definitely bring Ming Kingdom back!"

As soon as Charles I was told by him, he came back to his senses, nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, yes, yes, and then send envoys, we must unite as many countries as possible to deal with that big eastern country together! No matter what happens between our European countries If there is any enmity, if there is any resentment, now that the big eastern powers want to fight over, let them all put it down first, so that we can defend against foreign enemies together!"

Wedel nodded again and again, and flattered: "Your Highness still has a long-term vision, and I will definitely work hard to make this happen!"

After speaking, he took the initiative to invite Ying again, worked tirelessly, and did not even return home, and went to the other side of the strait again.

At this time, the affairs of the great eastern country have been circulated among the upper echelons of European countries, showing different concerns and worries.As far as most ordinary people are concerned, the Portuguese and the Dutch, who have suffered heavy losses, are concerned.While they were curious about the mysterious oriental power, they also had fear.

Under the leadership of the United Kingdom, when it was still in the alliance, on May 11, [-]th year of Chongzhen, where the province was located, [-] troops swore to fight against Tsarist Russia for the previous blood debt.The main soldiers of the Ming army were mainly the Oirat tribe, and the Han army was the deputy.The commander-in-chief is Yang Sichang, Governor of Tian Province, and the leader is Zhongyong Bo Mangui, who has [-] cavalry as the main striker; Ming Weibo Li Dingguo leads [-] cavalry, and is the flanking forward. , to open the way for the army.

It is worth mentioning that one of Li Dingguo's subordinates, and one of his acquaintances, is Li Guo, a tiger.He didn't expect that after so many years, Li Dingguo would become his superior, which made him feel a little crazy.Hold back your energy and must prove yourself in this battle.

When they were marching towards the Far West, the American base far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and the Daming camp where the later San Francisco was located, were also swearing to go.Their goal is Mexico City.This time, it was a joint operation between the navy and the army.The navy is responsible for transporting the army to land in Mexico City, and after it is defeated, it will open up in the Gulf of Mexico.The Ming Navy continued to go south, preparing to go to Panama and control it.

These two places, and it can even be said that a large part of Central America to South America, are controlled by the Spaniards.This time, the places that Ming's navy and land armies will attack, namely Mexico City and Panama City, are also Spanish colonies.

And before the Ming army set off, another team with two boats had already set off first.This fleet did not sail directly to Mexico City, but docked ahead of time. About 300 marines went ashore and sneaked into the forest.

In this advance team, there are two familiar people, they are Wei Siming and Liu Lao.They originally planned to return to Daming last year like everyone else.But when he heard that the Ming army was going to attack Mexico, and Liu Xiang could no longer run away, he took the initiative to stay and expressed that he would cooperate with the army.

This time, the two of them worked.

After lurking in the outskirts of Mexico, Wei Siming and Mr. Liu acted according to the plan to complete the task of this team.

The best building in Chinatown in Mexico City was originally Liu Lao's home, but it has been occupied by Liu Xiang and others.And not only that, he also sent his men to both ends of Chinatown to search the Ming people who came back from working outside, and they will basically not give you a few of the day's wages; and for the shops in Chinatown, that is every day. To pay a fixed amount, do not pay to call.

Anyway, today's Ming people are suffering unspeakably. Some Ming people not only can't save a penny anymore, they even have to borrow money to worship Liu Xiang's bandit group, otherwise, they won't be able to survive.

It’s also funny to say, because of Liu Xiang’s actions, those Ming people who could be lazy at first, but those who want to work for five or six days and rest at home for a day, are all impossible. They have to get up early every day and go to the night It takes hard work.

But Liu Xiang and his group not only paid the Spaniards taxes in full and on time, but also paid the Spaniards a large sum of money alone. , mixed with wind and water, very comfortable and carefree.

Under their high pressure, it's not that no one thought of resisting.But Liu Xiang and others said that if anyone is disobedient, they will end up like Wei Siming and the others. No matter how far they escape, he has already sent someone to arrest them, hang them by the sea, and starve to death under the sun. I'm thirsty.

A group of courageous people all ended up like Wei Siming and others, and there were only a few who wanted to go all out later. They really couldn't survive, but they were quickly suppressed by Liu Xiang and others, and the methods were still very cruel.Therefore, the Ming people in Mexico City dared not speak out against Liu Xiang and others. They hated Liu Xiang to death but had to listen to Liu Xiang for the sake of his wife and children.

On this day, Liu Xiang and his group were gambling in Mr. Liu's house, and there were several Ming women serving them. They had a great time, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

But at this moment, suddenly a pirate rushed in and yelled loudly: "It's not good, big boss, it's not good, big boss..."

Liu Xiangzheng lost several games, and was immediately angry when he heard it, and immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Don't play, don't play, what are you talking about, what's wrong, it's impossible for the Ming army to come over suddenly, right? "

As soon as he said something casually, the audience fell silent, as if someone had stabbed him to death.

As soon as Liu Xiang heard it, she knew that she had said something wrong. The Ming army is now a taboo in everyone's heart, and no one wants to mention it.After all, they were driven to Nanyang by the Ming army, and then from Nanyang to Mexico.During this period, no matter how powerful their power was, no matter how great their allies were, they were all crushed by the Ming army, which really scared them.

"What the hell is wrong with you, tell me quickly!" Liu Xiang yelled quickly to attract the attention of his accomplices.

As soon as the man heard this, he saw that everyone in the room was looking at him, so he quickly replied: "Someone saw Wei Siming, and he was in the suburbs."

After hearing this, Liu Xiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it was something, but it turned out to be this shit.Of course, he also knew that the reason why this person panicked was because he had betrayed Wei Siming and the others and used it as a meeting gift to take refuge in him.

However, Liu Xiang also knew that Wei Siming could not let him live. After all, he had already let go, saying that Wei Siming and others had been executed by him.

Therefore, he asked about the details again, knowing that Wei Siming and others seemed to be fishing for a living.So, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, you guys, you must not let those bastards run away this time!"

When his subordinates heard this, they stopped gambling immediately, and responded loudly one by one, saying that they would definitely kill Wei Siming and the others this time.

As soon as Liu Xiang led the people to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted to the woman in the room: "If anyone dares to tell what happened just now, I will kill your whole family!"

When the women in the room heard this, they all nodded in fright.

Seeing Liu Xiang, the conversation changed: "Even if Wei Siming and those people were lucky enough to escape last time, but this time, they will definitely die. In fact, it is still the same. Anyone who dares to resist me will die! He is a sky lantern!"

After speaking, he led his men out.It is not appropriate for the Ming people in Mexico City to know about this incident, nor for the Spaniards to know about it. Therefore, Liu Xiang just took his original subordinates out of the city.
