Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

England, here I come, Europa, here I come, are you ready?

Chapter 7 Let the artillery go to declare war on them!

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became a little angry.

Just like a novice driver on the highway for the first time, Emperor Chongzhen standing on the bow looked at the front and the escorting warships, and his chest burst out with infinite pride.

fearless?Invincible?I came to this sea to tell you what a real navy is!

Several small black dots appeared on the sea level in the distance, and the lookout on the mast immediately waved the flag in his hand, continuously transmitting information to the deck and the wheelhouse.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to know the little black spot on the opposite side, just picked up the telescope in his hand - after scrapping countless lenses, the Shaofu finally came up with the one used by Emperor Chongzhen telescope.

Even though they were far away, Emperor Chongzhen could see clearly what the little black spot on the opposite side was.

The flagship of the South Sea Fleet in the Suez Canal Squadron, plus two escort warships.

After the two fleets joined together, Liu Wenbing also arrived on the flagship of the "Tianzi" where Emperor Chongzhen was located. After performing the audience ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen directly asked, "How is England now?"

Liu Wenbing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, England is now in complete chaos. Charles I and Cromwell have officially started war. The two sides are now facing each other with Edinburgh as the boundary."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, and then asked: "How is the voyage?"

Liu Wenbing said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the voyage on this journey will first pass through the island of Crete. The scenery of this island is good, Your Majesty can stop and take a look."

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's expression of interest, Liu Wenbing explained: "Crete is an island with rugged mountains as its main body. It has several natural harbors and coastal plains. It is called "the southernmost crown of the Aegean Sea." ".

According to the savages, the cradle of Western civilization is in ancient Greece, and the source of Greek culture is in Crete. There is not only the most romantic lighthouse here, but also the only pink beach in Greece. The color is not deep, which makes people feel like a dream. Feeling like a phantom.

Crete originally belonged to Greece, then Greece was ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire, and Emperor Yingzong Tianshun belonged to the Ottoman Empire four years later.

The Ottoman Empire used Albanian governors to rule Greece, and Greek bureaucrats to rule Romanians and Slavs.

The Greeks, who were not reconciled to subjugating their country at the hands of the Ottomans, are now secretly gathering strength and looking at restoring their country and independence, hoping to get rid of the rule of the Ottomans. "

Emperor Chongzhen immediately understood.

The so-called scenery and culture are basically nonsense. The point is that the Greeks intend to overthrow the Ottoman Empire in order to be able to establish an independent country.

From the perspective of the entire West, the Ottoman Empire is definitely not a good character to deal with. Compared with the difficulty of defeating the Ottoman Empire and the difficulty of Ming's plan to defeat England, they are not on the same level at all.

If it is said that Da Ming is a grown-up strong man who bullies a small English loli who is light and soft and easy to push down, then the Greeks wanting to overthrow the Ottoman Empire is no different from the little loli wanting to rub a grown-up man on the ground.

This position exists in theory, but it has no possibility of success in military affairs.

Because the little Greek lolita was originally held on the ground by the Eastern Roman Empire, and now it has fallen into the clutches of Ottoman. If there is no army, if there is no equipment, it is difficult to even buy arms.

Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible to overthrow Ottoman independence.

As for Liu Wenbing, the big cousin, obviously he didn't know where he got the news, and he didn't know how he got on the line with the Greeks. Now he has the idea of ​​Greece, or Ottoman's idea.

Because it is actually very simple to make Emperor Chongzhen interested in Ottoman.

In addition to the Suez Canal, the geographical location of Crete and the scenery on the island are obviously also the focus of attracting Emperor Chongzhen.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen showed his position on Crete, the difficulty for the Greeks to overthrow Ottoman would almost plummet.

Are you short of money?The Daming treasury has gold and silver treasures, and they dare to transfer money to you with just an account number, and the conscience rate of [-] out of [-] returns guarantees that there will be no reminders.

Are you short of ammunition?The Northern Ordnance Industrial Group and the Southern Industrial Group of the Ming Empire have a lot of arms, as long as they have labor and money, everything is easy to talk about!

Even if there is no silver and no labor, there is no problem—are there minerals?Do you want to build roads?Do you want to build a port?The Department of Foreign Trade under the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Empire can solve all your problems for you!

However, Emperor Chongzhen had no interest in Crete.

The location of Crete is of course important. Whether it is landing in Europe through Crete or in Africa through Crete, it is a very good choice. Even Turkey in the northeast and the Ottoman Empire in the southwest are also located in Crete. Within the radiation range of Te Island.

In other words, as long as Crete is occupied, Ming will almost have an unsinkable aircraft carrier, although this aircraft carrier cannot sail.

But who does Crete belong to now?

Crete is now under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and the Suez Canal is also under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, but the management and operation of the canal are now in the hands of Ming Dynasty.

However, as long as Da Ming doesn't plan to tear himself apart with Osman, he won't be able to attack Crete, let alone blatantly support the restoration of the Greeks.

After all, there are still three catties of nails on the broken ship. No matter how bad the Ottoman Empire is now, it is still a huge empire. If it is a dilemma with Da Ming on the issue of the Suez Canal, Da Ming will also find it difficult.

Of course, it's just tricky, and it's still not a big problem to completely kill the Ottoman Empire.

But is it necessary?

Of course, killing the Ottoman Empire is not a big problem. The problem is what kind of reaction will Da Ming trigger after killing Ottoman now?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't bring people from the think tank, not even the big bosses of the cabinet, when he traveled. It would be troublesome to deduce the consequences of killing Osman, so why bother with Osman?

As for the matter of supporting the restoration of the Greeks, Emperor Chongzhen did not know, Emperor Chongzhen did not participate, and Emperor Chongzhen did not express his consent, don't talk nonsense!

As for what the scumbags of the East India Company did, that is their own business. After all, businessmen are after profit. It is difficult for Daming to find out who they sold the arms to, isn't it?

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen finally said: "Leaving Crete alone, Xin Lehou can sort out the relevant information and send it to Zhongji Hall in the capital. Consequences associated with this.

As for now, it is better to go to England first, and it is more important to completely kill England. "

When Liu Wenbing bowed to answer, Emperor Chongzhen showed interest again, and said with a smile: "Looking at the map of all countries, isn't Spain just on the route of our Ming fleet to England?

When I was in Java earlier, those Spanish barbarians had a feud with me, Daming. Now that I, Daming, are going to pass by their door, the barbarians didn't show anything? "

Liu Wenbing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the whole of Europe is now targeting the Habsburg family, and Philip IV, who is also the lord of the Southern Netherlands, has been unable to maintain his rule and was forced to recognize the independence of the Netherlands.

Now the war between Spain and France under the rule of Philip IV has lasted for nearly ten years, and Spain's national strength has long been exhausted. Even now that France has caused civil strife, Spain still cannot win.

In addition, in the 13th year of Chongzhen, Portugal also got rid of the rule of Spain and completely became an independent kingdom, and the whole of Spain declined even more.

Now that my Da Ming is in full swing, I walked past his Spanish door to show him the face of Spain, so that their barbarians can have a chance to see the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty, how dare they jump out to stop my Da Ming's fleet? "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed again and said, "What about France? They didn't jump out because of civil strife?"

Liu Wenbing bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, it's not that Cromwell didn't send people to contact France, and even specially sent a secret agent to France to spread rumors, in order to win France to fight against our great tomorrow soldiers.

But in France now, the young master is coming to court. Mazarin, the prime minister and godfather of the young king Louis XIV, who is also the lover of the Queen Mother Regent, advances money to private firms in order to meet the needs of the war, and allows them to collect taxes and collect money. State income in exchange.

These tax packers made huge profits from it, which aroused the jealousy of the French nobles and the anger of the people, and now there are civil strife in France.

The rebels in Paris, the capital, built [-] barricades overnight. They used slingshots to shoot at the houses of their supporters. exile.

The whole of France is in such a mess now, how can they care about getting involved with the barbarians in England to fight against the Great Tomorrow Soldiers? "

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh a little.
