Daming Crazy Emperor

In the Governor's Mansion of Luanda City, Prince Condé also stared at the map in front of him and frowned.

It's not a good thing that Turenne is going to lead an army to his territory.

Because Turenne was a close friend promoted by Duke Richelieu, he was loyal to the king and Duke Richelieu.

He knew too well the methods of the Duke of Richelieu. When he was in the governorship of New France in America, his power was almost emptied by Champlain, the Duke of Richelieu's confidant.

At that time, Champlain didn't have many people in his hands, which could make him have little power.

At this moment, Turenne came here with 40 people. Can he still control Angola?

He can be sure that as long as Turenne runs over, Angola will not be his.

Even, the Duke of Richelieu may order Turenne to do him directly!
The reason why the Duke of Richelieu didn't do anything to him was because Louis XIII had no sons. He was a prince and was of royal blood. If Louis XIII really had no heirs, he could still take over.

It's different now, the son of Louis XIII has been born, will the Duke of Richelieu keep his hand?

He didn't dare to bet on this, because if he lost the bet, he would die.

Question, what now?

Turenne has already led the army to run towards him, can he still let people not come over?

This is impossible, people will not obey his orders at all.

In other words, Turenne will definitely come with an army of 40. If he wants to keep his territory or his existing power, he must find a way to defeat them.

At this moment, he has secretly built hundreds of ships and warships, as well as a lot of guns and artillery. The weapons and equipment are definitely no worse than the regular French army under Turenne.

The problem is, he has too few men.

Originally, when he came from America, there were less than 7 horses in total.

Because of the great war between the Ming Empire and the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, plus the secret war between the European Union and the Ming Empire, all countries are frantically recruiting troops, so he can't continue to expand his army.

This less than 7 horses will be used not only for the army but also for the navy.

After hundreds of ships and warships consumed more than 1 of his troops, there were only [-] left in the army.

Fifty thousand against 40, can he do it?

If Turenne is a sucker, there's still hope for him.

The problem is that Turenne is not an idiot. He is a rising star in the French army and is about to become a generalissimo.

Even if the two sides have the same strength, he may not be able to do it better than others, not to mention that they have nearly ten times more troops than him now.

He had no choice but to keep running.

There is a saying in Daming that if you keep the green hills, you will not worry about no firewood.

Although he doesn't know this common saying, he also understands this truth. As long as his subordinates are still there, he has hope.

If all his men and horses were swallowed up by others, he would have no hope.

The question is, where else could he go?

If calculated by distance, it is naturally easiest to go to South Africa. Now his territory is already bordering on the South African colony.

Unfortunately, he can't go to South Africa, because it is the territory of Britain, Holland, Sweden and Denmark. …

People are jealous of his income from selling rubber, and they want to swallow him up.

If he sent it to the door, not only would the person be gone, but the hard-earned money would also be robbed.

Not to mention going back to Europe, the Duke of Richelieu was obviously ready to do something, and he wanted to die when he went back.

What should I do?

He stared at the map for a long time, and could only sigh helplessly.

Let's see the situation first.

After all, Turenne was chased by the Ming Empire, perhaps, he might not be able to escape.

If they can't escape the pursuit of the Ming Empire, that's naturally the best. Even if Turenne escapes the pursuit of the Ming Empire, he may suffer heavy casualties.

At that time, if Turenne's troops are less than [-], he doesn't have to be afraid. After all, he still has the city in his hands, and he still has ships and warships.

Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.

Turenne was indeed in a very embarrassing escape this time. More than 30 troops fled frantically on the uneven road for more than [-] days. Many people ran cramped and even fell to the ground.

When he led his army to the border of Angola, there were less than 20 horses left around him.

Fortunately, the follow-up people are not dead, those people just can't run anymore and need to rest.

I believe that as long as those people have enough rest, they will still rush over.

Because there is no place suitable for long-term survival on this road, not to mention, there are chasing soldiers from the Ming Empire behind them, and it is impossible for those people to stay where they are and wait to die.

After he fled to the Angola border in embarrassment, he did not continue to rush to Luanda.

Because the state of his men and horses is extremely poor, he has no way to win Prince Condé at this time.

He had to let his men and horses repair and gather the remnants behind him before he could deal with Prince Kong Dai.

Prince Kong Dai seemed to play tricks on him, leaving him rations for 10 horses and horses for ten days in the border area.

If he really ran over with 40 horses, it would be eaten up in two or three days.

Obviously, Prince Condé also understood what he was here for.

This guy is still watching the situation.

If he just ran over with 10 horses, then naturally there is nothing he can do about them.

Now he ran over with nearly 20 horses, and the rations were only enough for about five days.

This guy just doesn't want to give him enough time to recuperate!
Humph.

Turenne looked at the food left by Prince Condé, and couldn't help but groaned in his heart.

He stood there frowning and pondering for a while, then ordered decisively: "Alfred, take people to Luanda, and ask Prince Condé to send more food.

Just tell him that our 40 horses need to rest here for at least ten days. "

Alfred quickly took the order and left.

Turenne then ordered: "Edmond, you go and inform all the scouting teams, and immediately scatter around to find the nearby tribal camps or the farms opened by Prince Condé's men. If there is not enough food, we will immediately Requisition."

This is not called grain requisition, but he is going to start looting!
Edmund immediately understood and left.

Turenne then ordered: "Felix, you take people to the back to urge you, let the people behind hurry up and gather.  …

In addition, you run to the back to see if the people from the Ming Empire have come after them. "

He waited for six days, because the place where they were stationed was more than 1000 miles away from Luanda. Even if they took a fast horse and changed trains, they would still need six days to go back and forth.

Naturally, it was impossible for Prince Condé to provide him with food. His reply was that there was not enough manpower to transport the food, so they should rush to Luanda as soon as possible, where there was enough food.

This meant that they were still not allowed to recuperate. Prince Condé just wanted them to continue on their way, trying to make their hands and feet weak.

Of course Turenne would not be fooled by this.

Just kidding, after running for more than 1000 miles, how can I have the strength to fight with others after running there.

Besides, the people behind have not been gathered yet, if he continues to run to Luanda, the people under him will be out of touch.

At that time, Prince Condé is likely to use the terrain to go around and fight behind them first, so that they can't take care of both ends.

He definitely won't go to Luanda now, and if he wants to go, he has to repair it before going.

As for the food issue, it is easy to handle. They can raise enough food in Central Africa, which is so poor. This Angola is relatively rich under the management of Prince Condé. Can he not raise food?

He gave the order without hesitation, let's start the robbery!
Anyway, the people of the Ming Empire had given up their pursuit, and he could completely free up his hands to deal with Prince Kong Dai. He didn't care if he tore his face.

When Prince Kong Dai received the news, he could only sigh.

The reason why he did this was not to start a war with Turenne.

Turenne may not know how many troops he has, and it would be a joke to start a war.

He just wanted to use this method to test Turenne's true purpose, or Duke Richelieu's intention.

It's already obvious now that people didn't discuss with him and started to rob him directly. This proves that the Duke of Richelieu wanted his life!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to rob so recklessly.

If people still treat him as one of their own, will they start robbing on their own territory?

They want to get rid of him as a political enemy!

There is no other way but to prepare to run away.

Prince Condé frowned and pondered for a while, and then went to the door: "Come on, call Minuint and Black over here."

At this moment, Minuint and Blake are just like Turenne, who was undefeated at the beginning, proud and high-spirited.

Because of the relationship between rubber, the attitude of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to them at the moment is extremely good. They have instantly changed from traitors in others' mouths to sweet pastries.

It turns out that the people who scolded them are all vying to curry favor with them now, money and even beauties are constantly stuffed into their arms.

They lived a comfortable life.

Prince Condé was just like them, he was so happy all day long, and he talked to them from time to time about his dream of building a country and even dominating Europe.

Unexpectedly, when they walked into Prince Condé's office this time, they saw a cold face.

Minuyint couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Prince Condé sighed helplessly: "The Duke of Richelieu sent Turenne with 40 troops to deal with us." …

Ah!
Blake's face changed drastically in fright, "Didn't Turena escape after being chased by the Ming Empire?"

When Prince Kong Dai heard this, he couldn't help but annoyed, "They were cornered by the Ming Empire, but after they ran over, they wanted to force us into corners.

Richelieu, an old fox, probably wanted to deal with me a long time ago. This time, Turenne led so many people to come here, so it's my fault if he didn't deal with me! "

When Minuint heard the words, he was also frightened and said: "Then what should we do, we must not go back to Europe, or, let's go to Cape Town Colony, Earl Moritz seems to be very kind to us. Not bad."

Prince Kong Dai said angrily: "Don't you know why they treat us well?
He is nice to us because he wants to buy the rubber in our hands. Do you think he is really nice to us?

Without rubber, what value do we have in their eyes?
The Duke of Richelieu can make them take away our men and rob us of our savings with a single word, do you believe it or not? "

This one.

Of course Minuyint believed it!
They are all robbers, how can they not know the virtue of their own people?

When Earl Black heard this, he said hysterically, "Why don't we fight Turenne!

If we leave Angola, where can we survive? "

Fight your head ah!
Prince Kong Dai shook his head helplessly and said: "No, we have too few troops, and we simply cannot defend such a large territory.

At most we can defend Luanda with warships, but we cannot defend other places.

It is meaningless for us to just defend this city. Once people trap us here, we will run out of food sooner or later.

Now we can only flee with our men and the wealth accumulated in the past few years. As long as we keep our property, there will be hope in the future. "

escape?
Minuyint couldn't help asking, "Where are we going to escape?"

Prince Kong Dai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Dakar and defect to the Ming Empire!"

Minuyinte and Black couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard this.

The Ming Empire is their enemy, can they take them in?

Blake was stunned for a while, and then asked: "The Ming Empire robbed our Bayinya colony and drove us here. Will they take us in?"

Prince Kong Dai nodded without hesitation and said: "Don't worry, you will. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is the real overlord. He knows our value very well."

What value do we have, why don't I know?
Hearing this, Blake couldn't help but be bewildered.

When Minuyinte heard the words, he showed a hint of bewilderment.

Their value is to be puppets, to help the Ming Empire control France and even Britain and the Netherlands!
