Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1355, The Great War in Vienna ([-])

The smell in the room was disgusting, but Deng Yong and Xiong Han had to endure it, and they had to endure it expressionlessly, showing the fortitude and patience of soldiers.

Hearing what Maximilian I said, everyone looked at the two oriental faces in unison again, with black eyes and black hair, a tall figure, a resolute face, and this specially designed senior The officer's uniform and cowhide military boots look more noble and gentlemanly than the nobles present.

These are the soldiers from the powerful empires in the far east. Compared with them, these knights in Europe are more like hooligans, and they pale in comparison.

Over the years, with the more and more frequent exchanges with the Ming Empire, the understanding of Daming has also become deeper and deeper.

This powerful empire in the far east is far more powerful, vast, and rich than imagined. As for their soldiers, there is even a myth of invincibility.

Now suppressing the Ottoman Empire, which the Europeans can't breathe, the Ming Empire had to cede land and pay compensation to the opponent who was beaten by only [-] troops.

"Your Majesty Maximilian, you brave knights~"

When Deng Yong heard Maximilian I's words, he and Xiong Han immediately saluted with a military salute, standing straight.

Maximilian I also nodded with a smile. At first, he was not used to the etiquette of Ming soldiers. In his opinion, it was very rude. The most solemn etiquette should be to kneel down and kiss his shoes. Aristocrats also have to take off their hats and bow down.

But Ming people do not have such etiquette and customs, and it is even more impossible for Ming soldiers to bow down to foreign monarchs. A military salute is considered the highest respect.

As for the others, they also smiled and nodded slightly, not to lose the etiquette of the nobility, let alone in front of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Deng Yong looked at the sand table in the middle. The huge sand table marked the geographical location and troop deployment between the two sides, which was very clear and could be seen clearly at a glance.

"Everyone, the coalition forces currently have many advantages, such as superiority in strength, superiority in terrain, and more importantly, you also have the spirit of knights, and you have a heart to defend your homeland and beliefs."

"I believe that you will be able to win. As for the rest, we have nothing to say."

Deng Yong's meaning is actually very simple, he doesn't want to get involved in the grievances between you and the Ottomans.

Daming has always maintained the principle of honor and neutrality in this matter, and absolutely does not support any party. Of course, the arms business still has to be done. No matter which party it is, as long as you give us money, we will sell you weapons.

"Why should the general be so out of touch? We don't have any other intentions. We just want to hear your analysis of the current battle situation."

"We all know that the general is a professional military talent who graduated from the Daming Royal Military Academy, so everyone wants to hear some of your opinions, and see the military literacy and level of the top students of the Daming Royal Military Academy."

Maximilian I couldn't help but curse out in his heart.

At this time, you express your disapproval of the grievances between us. Why didn't you say that when you sold arms and weapons to the Ottoman Empire?
If it weren't for the weapons and equipment of your Ming Empire, the European coalition forces wouldn't have to fight so hard. Under the powerful artillery and muskets, the strong castle collapsed, and the heroic knights were vulnerable. How dare you say you don't want to join?
If it wasn't that he couldn't beat you Daming people, and he was too far away from the far east, he would even want to attack Daming with his troops.

"His Majesty Maximilian~"

"The situation in front of you is still very favorable to you. You only need to follow the current deployment, and you will surely be able to defeat the Ottoman army, defend your homeland and beliefs, and defend the dignity and honor of the knights!"

Deng Yong said very seriously again.

The aggressive method is of no use to me. The superiors have already strictly prohibited them from participating in the battle between the two sides. Even if they express some opinions and opinions, they can only communicate with their own people in private.

In fact, Deng Yong has already guessed the intention of the higher-ups.

The reason why the Ottoman Empire continued to expand westward was because the Ming Empire was in the lead. By buying and selling slaves, it also blocked the direction of the Ottoman Empire to the east, south, and north.

In the east, there is the Persian Empire supported by the Ming Empire. The relationship between the Persian Empire and the Ming Empire is very good, and there is a powerful army formed by all Ming firearms.

To the south is the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt, which has a very good relationship with Ming Dynasty. Now they are all working together to build the Egyptian Canal. It is said that the construction will be completed next year, and the travel between Europe and Ming Dynasty will be much closer.

To the north is also the Crimean Khanate supported by the Ming Empire, which has a very bad relationship with the Ottoman Empire. After all, it rebelled against the control of the Ottoman Empire, and it is also the most important slave supplier of the Ming Empire.

The only way the Ottoman Empire can move forward is in western Europe. The high price of slaves naturally stimulates the Ottoman Empire to repay the huge war reparations by plundering people and selling slaves, and at the same time, it can also obtain advanced weapons of Ming Dynasty.

Supporting the Ottoman Empire to disrupt Europe and plunder Europe's population is a policy formulated by the top of the Ming Empire.

Although Deng Yong didn't quite understand why the high-level officials formulated such a policy.

There is no grievance between the Europeans and the Ming people. On the contrary, the Ottoman Empire slaughtered tens of thousands of Ming people in the river area, and they have blood feuds.

As for plundering people and using them as slaves, there are people everywhere in the world, and there are a large number of people who can be used as slaves. Why should they target Europe.

Deng Yong couldn't figure it out, but this didn't prevent him from carrying out the order from above. If he didn't participate, he wouldn't participate.

Hearing Deng Yong's words, Maximilian I frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but the other people in the room were all smiling, enjoying Deng Yong's words very much.

There is still a market for chivalry here, from the nobility to the common people, all advocating chivalry. Deng Yong's words made the nobles present very fond of it.

This came from the mouths of the officers of the Ming Dynasty. How can they be unhappy if they think they will win?

"Okay, thank you two generals~"

Maximilian I knew that the other party would not publish anything really useful.

To be honest, he really wanted to see the commanding level of the Ming soldiers from the opponent. Although he had many advantages in the current battle, he was still very nervous and not fully sure.

However, this battle is related to the future trend of Europe.

If the Ottoman Empire wins, the whole of Europe will fall into an incomparable hell. Not only will the population of various countries be sold to the Ming people as slaves on a large scale, but also the areas occupied and ruled by the Ottoman Empire will lose Their own beliefs, this is the most unacceptable thing for them.

If the European coalition forces win, they can not only take the opportunity to conquer large areas of Eastern Europe and the Balkan Peninsula, but can even take advantage of the situation to invade Asia and march towards the Middle East of the Holy City, just like the Crusades, and go to restore the Holy City again .

When Deng Yong and Xiong Han left, Maximilian I exchanged shares. He was born in the Habsburg family. At this time, the Habsburg family was in full swing and had extremely powerful influence in European countries. It is also an important reason why he can become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

No way, the King of Spain is his in-laws, the King of Portugal and him are considered distant relatives, as for the kingdoms of Austria, Hungary, and Italy, many of them are directly under the control of the Habsburg family, and he himself is the Holy Spirit Who should he not be the emperor of the Roman Empire?

"Brave knights, this battle concerns the future of Europe, our faith, and our honor!"

"Three days later, we will launch an attack according to the plan. In this battle, we will not only wipe out all the Ottoman Empire's army, but we will also take advantage of the trend to drive the Ottoman Empire out of Europe and drive them back to the Asia Minor peninsula to herd sheep."

The voice of Maximilian I was very loud, and it kept reverberating in the room, causing the nobles from various European countries to straighten their bodies and raise their heads. The color of perseverance.

"God is with us!"

"We must win!"

Then Maximilian I shouted loudly again.

"God is with us!"

"We must win!"

The others also shouted in unison.

　The history of Europe is actually very interesting. The reason why their countries are very small and many, and they are often combined from time to time is mainly related to their royal marriage. Almost the entire European royal family can be regarded as relatives~
