Chongzhen Chat Group

By the time Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, his achievement points were already full again. People were added remotely and at designated locations, and then these Western spies, who had been trained in advance, used various identities to sneak into various European countries.

With such a two-pronged approach, every move in Europe was summarized through the chat group.

Among European countries, the more countries involved, the more difficult it is to establish an alliance. Even if the kings of various countries hold discussions in person, they all have different interests. For example, how many troops each country sends and who is its leader? How to fight the war? How to divide the territory of Ming Dynasty after the war? All these must be negotiated before the alliance.

Emperor Chongzhen waited and waited until June and July. Before the European countries had reached an agreement, they lost patience and immediately issued an order to the ministers at the front, asking them to help the European countries make up their minds.

As a result, Li Dingguo led the cavalry and began to attack in turns. His blitzkrieg caused disaster to the nobles outside the fortified cities of the Nordic countries. Especially this time, the Ming cavalry was able to bring cannons with them, the kind of detachable cannons that the Swedish army had. This made European nobles everywhere curse Sweden.

You know, at the beginning, the Ming cavalry did not carry cannons. Now that they have cannons similar to those in Sweden, it is very easy for the Ming army to fight against those that are not fortified cities. If you say it’s not Sweden’s fault, no one will believe it!

Suddenly, Poland, Sweden, the Crimean Khanate, and even the Holy Roman Empire were all covered by Li Dingguo's whirlwind cavalry front. In these places, the lower class people were looking forward to the Ming army, while the nobles prayed that the Ming army would not go.

Later, in some local towns, as soon as the Ming army arrived outside the city, low-level people rioted in the city and took the initiative to open the city gates to welcome the Ming army. In the beginning, this situation was rare, but later, it slowly increased and became more and more serious.

The emergence of this situation caused panic among the nobles of various European countries. They understood that it was useless to strictly prohibit them, because the Ming army wanted to seize their property and then give part of it to the untouchables. This could not be prohibited by strict orders.

On the other side, Min Hongxue also sent people to issue an ultimatum to Persia, ordering the handover of Aurangzeb, a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, harboring the prisoner would be an accomplice, and the Ming Dynasty would definitely punish him!

Under normal circumstances, Safi of the Persian Empire would have been afraid and would not have dared to take in Aurangzeb. However, the Ottoman Empire immediately sent someone to tell Safi that if he dared to hand over Aurangzeb, the Ottoman Empire would definitely regard Persia and the Ming Dynasty as one and would be punished.

Not only that, the Persian Empire naturally also heard that European countries were discussing how to unite to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty was powerful, in Safi's view, the Ottoman Empire was also very powerful, and the European countries were also very powerful. If so many countries united to fight the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would definitely lose.

For this reason, Safi made the decision not to hand over Aurangzeb, and asked to join the Allied forces, strongly urging the Allied forces to attack the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. As a result, there is another country in the anti-Ming alliance.

The news from these two aspects stimulated, especially the tens of thousands of cavalry troops on Li Dingguo's side fighting like no one's land, and the actions of the nobles of various countries who regarded the untouchables as welcoming the Ming army. In the end, the nobles of various countries had to compromise with each other. . They understand that if no action is taken, more and more untouchables will be affected by this red ocean theory. When the time comes, wherever the red ocean passes, they will not only have to resist it, but also be prepared for internal changes. That would be too dangerous for them.

Therefore, in October, the kings of various countries finally reached an agreement and decided to permanently cease war between the countries before defeating the Ming Dynasty; each country must send elite troops and must not hide their personal interests; the countries also understood each other and named each other, and finally Form the number and deployment of dispatched troops, etc. As for how to divide the Ming Dynasty after defeating the Ming Dynasty, they decided to leave it to be discussed later. In principle, in the process of defeating the Ming Dynasty, the country that contributed more will gain more benefits.

As a result, the army composed of European countries finally reached a true million-strong force. Divided into two groups, one attacked Samara Fort, which was also known as Mingwei Fort by the Ming army, and advanced from the northern line to the Ming Dynasty. On the other side, the Ottoman Empire army was the main force, attacking the location of the Mughal Empire, and advancing eastward in the south. Let's go forward in two directions and see how the Ming army copes with it.

In order to prevent the Ming army from continuing to use their fleets to transport troops and raid the back roads, various countries must also form a joint fleet to advance from the sea to cover the main forces on land. Therefore, after the alliance was formed, supplies had to be prepared, and then a fleet of more than 600 sail warships from various countries had to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and reach the Persian Empire before the main force on land could launch an attack.

All these preparations take time, and the scheduled time for the battle is set for the coming year.

When this alliance was formed, all European nobles were excited. There are truly one million lions and more than 600 sailing warships. This is an unprecedented force. They believed that the Ming Dynasty could not have so many troops. This time, let’s see how the Ming army will fight! If the Ming Kingdom cannot be defeated in this way, then this earth will really become a red earth.

As soon as the alliance between European countries was formed, relevant news was immediately spread to the Ming Dynasty through the chat group. After receiving it, Emperor Chongzhen immediately summoned all military ministers and frontline generals to hold the largest remote joint military meeting.

I saw Emperor Chongzhen speaking in the temporary group: "My lords, after this victory, the entire world will belong to our Ming Dynasty. The only enemies of our Ming Dynasty are enemies from outer space. This battle can only be won. Can’t be defeated!”

"..." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The emperor's perspective was really different about the enemies from outer space. He was already paying attention to the enemies from outer space.

If it was before the promotion of technology, they would think it was an immortal, but now that technology has been promoted for a long time, they naturally know that the emperor is referring to aliens.

After the emperor said this, many civil servants and generals in the temporary group felt that their horizons had improved, and they felt like they were looking down on the enemies from Europe.

Lu Xiangsheng first responded to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, if you know yourself and the enemy so well, it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy!"

As the host of the meeting, Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked: "If Lu Qing has any ideas, just tell me!"

"Your Majesty, the coalition of European countries has reached one million people, and its supplies and food will be countless, and the logistical pressure will be huge." Lu Xiangsheng replied calmly, "As long as our army takes the initiative to retreat, Therefore, if the battle line is lengthened, the enemy's logistics will be tight. But our Ming Dynasty's cavalry army is so large that we can avoid the enemy's main force and attack in separate lanes. We can directly hit the enemy's food road and win the battle!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly when he heard this. This idea was actually the same as his. It seemed that the hero had the same idea.

Previously, he had decreed that the front lines should move to stimulate European countries to form an alliance and attack as soon as possible, which actually contained this meaning. As for the Mughal Empire, he did not want it to be destroyed after being governed by the Ming Dynasty for a period of time. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the coalition forces from various European countries attack early and then deal with it after the fight is over, which can save a lot of energy.

As for Mingwei Fort, he didn't want to give up. Daming, no matter what, has been operating Mingwei Fort for more than a year. And the most important thing is that from European countries to Fort Mingwei, due to the harassment of Li Dingguo's cavalry, a deserted area has long been formed. The European nobles all fled west, while the lowly serfs and the like fled to Mingwei Fort and were under the protection of the Ming army.

The Allied forces on the northern route of Europe are going to attack Fort Mingwei, and the battle line will be very long, and they will definitely be able to create enough fighters.

This strategy that both the monarch and his ministers thought of was actually something they had used before. To deal with Jianlu was to seize Jianlu's logistical efforts, which ultimately left Jianlu with no physical force. In the battle with the Ming Dynasty, he was unable to exert his real strength and could only let the Ming army suppress him.

After Lu Xiangsheng spoke, he received approval from others. Emperor Chongzhen naturally had no objection, and the general strategy was settled. Subsequently, both the frontline generals and the ministers of the DPRK and China also made relevant supplements, and a response plan was slowly formed.

At the end of the meeting, Emperor Chongzhen declared boldly: “This decisive battle with the coalition forces of various European countries will also be the first battle of the coordinated operations of our new navy and army, and it will also be the first coordinated operation of the three armies of the Shanghai Army in human history. Fight. My lords, fight this battle well and get off to a good start!"

"According to the order!" Everyone was very excited when they saw it. They believed that the Ming Dynasty's navy, land and air force could definitely shock those Western barbarians!

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen issued the imperial edict, the Ming Dynasty's war machine immediately started moving.

Everyone in the Ming army knew that the next battle would be the last and biggest battle of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to win a chance to become a general through military merit, this is the only chance. As a result, officers and soldiers from various armies in the Ming Dynasty petitioned the court to fight, and their will to participate in the war was very high.

In various arsenals, they began to work overtime and began the storming stage. There are two main ones, one is the production of airships and related items; the other is the production of steam armored warships. The airships that had been produced were immediately shipped to the northern and southern front lines. The steam-armored warships built by shipyards in Nanjing and Fujian and Guangdong were bound for Bangladesh through the Strait of Malacca. Coal supply along the way has already been done. The iron-clad warships manufactured by Tianjin Shipyard are bound for the Americas. Since we are going to fight, of course we have to give Western countries a surprise.

Both Western countries and the Ming Dynasty have begun to prepare for the decisive battle in the coming year. As a result, the twelfth year of Chongzhen was a relatively peaceful year.

In early April of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the weather in Europe began to get warmer, and allied forces from various countries began to gather. The Northern Route Allied Forces, with King Philip IV of Spain as the supreme commander, went out in person; the famous Swedish general Lennart Thorstensen, who suffered a defeat at the hands of Li Dingguo, was wiped out and almost lost his life, served as the forward general and attacked Fort Mingwei.

On the South Road, Murad IV of the Ottoman Empire was the supreme commander, leading the army to first attack the Ming army in the Mughal Empire. The combined fleet, which assisted in maritime defense and also wanted to transport troops behind the Ming army to launch an attack, was commanded by the famous Dutch general Marton Tromp.

If he had followed the original development of history, he would have won the battle against the Spanish Armada in the Battle of Downs last year, ultimately establishing the Dutch fleet's supremacy at sea. However, due to the emergence of the butterfly effect, this war did not occur.

There is no chat group communication between the North and South Allied forces in Europe, so they are too far apart to fight together. We can only roughly set a time and then launch the attack. The two allied forces were probably divided based on religion, and there was also a relationship of competition between them. Therefore, when the agreed time came, they both launched attacks one after another.

On the land, the mighty horse and infantry marched endlessly to the east; along the coast, there were overwhelming sailing warships, almost covering the sea. Such a strong military power makes the European coalition full of confidence. With so many countries uniting and so many troops attacking, even if the Ming Dynasty is very big, how can it deal with it? And I heard that the Ming Dynasty was quite rich. If we invaded the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't we be able to steal a lot of wealth?

Under their strong confidence and the temptation of huge interests, the actions of the North and South Allied Forces. Although there were many troops from each country, they used to fight each other to death, but this time, they actually had a tacit understanding and everything obeyed the command. Heading to the east "vigorously and high-spirited".

The monarchs of various countries who stayed behind did not return to their own countries. Instead, they were all in the Holy Roman Empire, where the negotiations and signings were originally signed, waiting for news of victory from the front. After watching the army set off, banquets were held day after day in the Holy Roman Empire palace to wish for the upcoming victory.

On the other hand, the oppressed lowly serfs and poor people in various European countries were worried. They finally had a hope, but the nobles wanted to unite and kill them. They had only heard about the power of the Ming Army and how good it was to the people at the bottom, but they had seen the size of the Allied Forces with their own eyes, so naturally they would not think that the Ming Army could win. A pessimistic atmosphere spreads among the people at the bottom.

After Emperor Chongzhen learned the news through the newly dispersed Jinyiwei spies, he couldn't help but immediately thought of an idea. He issued an order to these Jinyiwei spies through the chat group, asking them to persuade the poor at the bottom to organize a few people if there was a chance of riots. A riot. Let the Jinyiwei spies tell them: If they want to be free, if they want to not be oppressed by the nobles from now on, if they want the Ming army to come and liberate them, they must show some sincerity.

The biggest war on earth is about to break out under this background!
