……

After seeing off Sautna, Zhu Fugui's trip to China and Southeast Asia is coming to an end.

India's follow-up campaign can be either supervised or not supervised.

Zhu Fugui didn't think that with Mo Bai's strength, coupled with the harassment of the Song Dynasty behind the enemy lines, India could not be pacified in the end.

It is nothing more than a matter of time and means.

India's population is too large after all.

Daming didn't intend to engage in a soft policy towards them, and the progress would definitely not be too fast.

Again, the brain circuits of Indians are very strange, and Zhu Fugui thinks there is no need to support them.

Saying that the Vietnamese are white-eyed wolves, in fact, combined with the historical background at that time, it is not impossible to find the logic of their behavior. After all, Vietnam was not so much China’s dog at that time as Su Xunzong’s dog.

As Xunzong's dog, the Vietnamese are qualified.

But the behavior logic of the Indians is really hard to figure out.

If you treat them softly and show kindness to them, the Indians are likely to push their noses and feel that you are weak and deceitful.

And beating them severely with a whip might be honest.

So such a guy is better as an enemy than as a friend.

Only recover the land of the yellow people in the east, and dismember all the rest of the country.

As for which states can be wooed, and which states should be held for XX ten days, I will leave it to the Song Dynasty to worry about it.

Zhu Fugui didn't care about this kind of thing.

After Zhu Fugui planned to leave Yangon, he first went to Sydney and Melbourne to see the crocodile show prepared by the Fujian cowboys for him, and then set off for Fengdu.

Since the tenth year of Dewu, June 1872, 6, the war has lasted for three full years.

In the past three years, the Ming Dynasty invested a total of more than 180 million combat troops, 980 yuan in aid to Germany, Turkey and other countries for tractor chassis, and 500 million pounds in loans (including the secrets provided to the nobles of the Allied Powers through Princess Sissi) loans), more than 28 live pigs, more than 570 million canned piglets, more than 650 tons of Zhu Fugui sausages, and [-] million liters of fermented grape juice chewed by Eugenie.

What did Daming get?

It's just useless gold, antiques, and works of art.

It can be said that Daming has paid too much for the Three Emperors Alliance.

However, Germany in the 1870s, after all, the time for unification was too short;

Austria is still strong and stands against the Germans;

The two ends of the Italian snake mouse are pure waste;

The Ottomans are dying, and it is embarrassing to be responsible;

The point is that the relative strength of Great Britain in the Victorian era was much, much stronger than that of Great Britain in World War II.

Therefore, the balance of the European battlefield has gradually tilted towards the Allies.

The German side has not yet shown its defeat, and their troops are still advancing slowly and steadily towards Paris.

But Italy and Ottoman are almost unable to withstand it.

Zhu Fugui believed that the time was ripe for the setting sun to invade and send troops out of Europe to avenge the Yin people, and he should go back to Fengdu.

However, when Ibowen contacted the Tuao Xuanwei Department to prepare the crocodile for the holy driver's trip, a piece of news from Istanbul, or Constantinople, forced Zhu Fugui to change the itinerary abruptly.

King Castle has fallen, ah bah, King Castle has recovered!

After a lapse of 422 years, the flag of the double-headed eagle flew over Constantinople again.

This news made Zhu Fugui ecstatic.

But then he realized that his special mother is not Jing Luo!

The fall of Istanbul meant that the supply line between Daming and Germany, that is, the 2B railway, was cut off.

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Alliance of Three Emperors.

Of course Zhu Fugui couldn't just sit idly by, he had to punch hard.

Once again sailing on dry land, two grams of Junbao, let the singing of "Ancestor, Grandfather, Lineage, Father" flutter under the sky of Istanbul again.

Chapter 747 The Ultimate Carnival of the Old Ones

["Istanbul" is a name derived from a Greek phrase. During the Ottoman era, "Konstantiniya" was the official name for the capital of the empire. "Istanbul" was also a widely used generic name, and later in time, the latter was used For the convenience of ordinary readers, this book generally adopts the familiar name "Istanbul". ]

In the official description of Tsarist Russia, the most critical battlefield in this world war is the battlefield between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Turkic Empire.

This is also the tenth Russo-Turkish war after the last Crimean War, and it is also a conflict between two religions and two civilizations.

The Russian Empire was essentially a country made up of a group of Slavic serfs ruled by Vikings.

The names of their earliest rulers should be familiar to every Chinese.

The Varyags, the name given to a group of Vikings, became the earliest traceable rulers of the Russian Empire.

It is such a group of guys with humble backgrounds, but because Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow took a Byzantine subjugated princess, they called themselves the so-called "Third Rome".

In essence, this kind of behavior is no different from that of a local chicken admitting to sixteen wild fathers.

But anyway, a weak claim is a claim.

The flag of the double-headed eagle, which symbolizes Rome and is also the national flag of the Russian Empire, has been flying high above the walls of the ancient Constantinople.

Zhu Fugui really did not expect that this time the Russians actually played a trick of attacking east and west, which made the Three Emperors Alliance fall into a great passivity.

In the past few months, Tsarist Russia has apparently sent its main forces to the Ukrainian-Polish plain, making an appearance of advancing westward and forcing Germany to fight on the third front.

But in fact, they quietly transferred troops from western Ukraine to the Crimea Peninsula, and destroyed all the Ottoman fortresses north of the Black Sea in one fell swoop. (as pictured)

Then, the Russians changed the normality of the previous nine Russo-Turkish wars and gave up fighting Ottomans in the Transcaucasus. Instead, they relied on the Black Sea Fleet to directly enter the Sea of ​​Marmara and attacked Constantinople from the sea.

In the previous Russian-Turkish war, the good brothers of the Christian world, Britain and France, spared no effort to backstab the "Third Rome" and "Orthodox leaders", and even sent troops and ships to intervene directly.

Therefore, instead of taking advantage of Tsarist Russia at sea, they were slammed by the advanced warships of Britain and France.

And Austria, another good brother in the Christian world, also has various constraints on the Russians' intervention in the Balkans.

As a result, if the Russian Empire wanted to attack the Ottoman Turkey, it had to attack from the Caucasus.

However, the Caucasus itself is a mountainous area, and the transportation is not very convenient.

More importantly, the mountain people who have lived in the Caucasus for a long time have a strong folk style, relying on the terrain to become an unforgettable nightmare for the Cossack cavalry.

Among them, the most famous mountain people are the Chechens.

It will be extremely difficult to get rid of these gangsters, let alone cross the Caucasus Mountains to attack the Anatolian Peninsula.

But this time the situation is very different.

Britain and France have already stood on the side of Tsarist Russia and sent experienced naval instructors to participate in combat command.

And the German navy is better than nothing in this era.

It is impossible for Ming's most powerful Atlantic navy to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, enter the Mediterranean Sea and then run into the Black Sea.

The only thing the Ottomans can count on is probably the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Italy.

Don't underestimate the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Italy. To put it bluntly, their food standard is the first in Europe and the second in the world.

Launched last year, Italy's most advanced "Sava" ironclad ship has a total displacement of 3318 tons. It has: 6 57mm and 2 75mm guns, a single propeller, and a three-cylinder horizontal engine. It can travel 10km at a speed of 28500kn.

Although these data seem mediocre, in fact, the "Sava" is equipped with the most advanced freezer in Europe, which can store fresh sea fish and vegetables to make the most delicious and authentic pizza.

In addition, the Kingdom of Italy also has the "Vorahine" with a displacement of 2389 tons, the "Staffetta" with a displacement of 1805 tons, and the "Sentinel" with a displacement of 827 tons.

If all these ships sailed to the Sea of ​​Marmara and the Black Sea, the situation of the battle might be different.

But as we all know, when it comes to disappointing Italy on the battlefield, the Italians never disappoint.

On the appointed day, Abdul Khalifa used up a whole bottle of eye drops presented by the Ming Emperor without waiting for an Italian ship.

And Ottoman's aging navy hasn't even completed the refitting of its ironclad ships.

At least half of their main battleships are wooden hulls reinforced with iron sheets.

Although Tsarist Russia's Black Sea Fleet is also very weak, it is enough to bully the Ottomans.

If the place of battle was not in the desert, Osman would not be able to take advantage of his dry land sailing.

The result of the final naval battle was not unexpected. The Russians won a big victory and the Ottoman fleet was wiped out.

But if this is the case, in fact, Istanbul will not be breached.

In fact, it is impossible for Ottoman to defeat the Russians at sea, which is the consensus of the Three Emperors Alliance.

Although Brother Abdul did not admit it verbally, he was very honest physically.

As early as three years ago, he ordered a large number of coastal defense guns from Germany, and ordered barbed wire, cement and steel from Daming.

It can be said that the slow renewal of the Ottoman navy, in addition to Abdul’s brother’s construction of a new hot spring pool and other bureaucrats’ private pockets, a large amount of military expenditure was used to build Istanbul that will never fall, which squeezed the money for the navy to change ships. s reason.

But it is well known that the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

It was not the cannons of Russian warships that felled Istanbul, but a rebellion from within the empire.

As Ali Pasha, the Ottoman envoy who circled more than half of the world to see the Son of Heaven, said, Abdul's position as Sultan was not secure.

Because he was too dissolute and disrespectful of teachings, he was regarded by many as an unqualified sultan.

Especially when the news of the fall of Crimea and the disastrous defeat in the Marmara naval battle came, Abdul's prestige fell to the bottom.

Historically, he was deposed and killed by the Sudanese Guards a year later, in 1876 AD.

Now, to use the logic of P Society, the degree of turmoil has surged and the prestige is severely lacking. It is not surprising that this palace rebellion happened a year earlier.

The fuse of the incident was that when the Tsarist Russian warship bombarded the Istanbul Fortress, the cement protective armor, which was originally designed to be strong enough to withstand two bombardments by a 110-pound gun, was easily destroyed by the Russian 68-pound gun.

This made Abdul furious.

The investigation revealed that the officials in charge of pouring these city walls colluded with the Jewish contractors to replace the high-quality Daming cement with inferior Hebrew cement.

The real high-standard cement of Ming Dynasty has been transported to the country of Judah to build Jewish settlements along the railway.

In the previous massacres led by the British and Persians, the Jewish immigrants were able to control the losses without causing large-scale casualties. These settlements, which used Daming cement and were structured like tulouwubao, contributed a lot.

Abdul arrested all the officials who handled these things and said he would investigate to the end.

In the process of tracing, all the evidence gradually pointed to Arientu Erkeo, the brother of Akshan Erkeo, the commander of the Sudanese Guards.

Through a black eunuch, Akshan bribed Abdul's favorite concubine.

The latter blew the pillow wind and convinced Abdul that the commander of the Akshan army had nothing to do with this matter, and he was ashamed of what his brother had done.

But in fact, at least one-third of the cement price difference went into Akshan's pocket.

Abdul did not dismiss Akshan in time while hesitating, which paved the way for his tragedy.

On June 6, Children's Day, the head of the Akshan Army suddenly led the pious Sudanese Guards, and found Abdul in the hot spring bath who was drunk with Eugenie and chewed grape juice. imprisoned.

Then, on the grounds of blasphemy and associating with unclean people, Akshan announced the abolition of Abdul's Ottoman Sultan and the title of Caliph of the Arab Empire, and supported the late emperor, Abdul's brother, Abdul May Jied I's 35-year-old son is the new sultan and caliph.

Namely Murad V.

But just three days after Murad V ascended the throne, Akshan deposed him again.

The reason was that Murad V suffered from serious mental illness and was unable to bring peace and stability to the precarious Ottoman Empire.

Akshan hoped that Murad V's seven-year-old son would be on the throne in order to fully control the power of the court.

At this time, Abdul Hamid II, the youngest son of Abdul Mejid I and the younger brother of Murad V, believed that he should inherit the throne as a matter of course.

He won the support of Prime Minister Midhat Pasha and the Neo-Ottoman Party, and expressed his willingness to inherit his father's closeness to the West, learn from the consistent position of the West, and end the war as soon as possible.

Britain and France naturally welcome this.

But the Russians were not satisfied.

Due to the rise of the Ming Dynasty, Russia's territory east of the Ural Mountains has been eroded by a large amount. It has lost the entire Far East coastal area, lost Xianbeilia, and lost Yakutia.

In Central Asia, Russia had to work closely with the British to resist Xichu's aggressive offensive, and his sphere of influence in northern Iran is now in jeopardy.

Faced with such a huge loss, the Russians are determined to follow the example of Daikin back then.

After all, both Kievan Rus and Daikin are toys of the Mongols, so naturally they have many similarities.

When the Mongols went south, Dajin suffered heavy losses. In order to maintain its national strength, it decided to beat the Southern Song Dynasty and implement the strategy of losing in the north and making up for it in the south.
