Daming Crazy Emperor

Madrid was taken, Felipe IV was arrested, and France soon noticed.

They have fought and made peace with Spain for so many years, so they will naturally send some spies or spies.

After Madrid was besieged, news began to spread in the direction of Paris. About ten days later, Duke Richelieu knew that the army of the West African Kingdom had reached the Spanish capital.

Obviously, this is the Ming Empire launching a two-front war.

The news of Duke Richelieu is relatively well-informed. He already knows that the Persian Empire has begun to counterattack the Ottoman Empire. He also knows that Wallenstein's army is beginning to be defeated. He even guessed that the British fleet sent to North America to plunder is over. .

Coupled with the appearance of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Kingdom of West Africa in Madrid, he already sensed the danger.

The combined fleets of Spain, the Netherlands and France are probably over too!

How to do?
His reaction can be said to be the complete opposite of Duke Goodman.

Duke Goodman tried his best to block the news from Felipe IV, but he went to the palace to discuss with Louis XIII and Queen Anna without hesitation.

This is the difference.

In fact, Felipe IV and Louis XIII at the same period in history had similar abilities, and neither of them was good at governing the country.

However, the endings of Spain and France are very different.

After the death of Philip IV, his son can be said to have become the king of subjugation, and the Habsburg dynasty lost control of Spain.

After the death of Louis XIII, his son became the Sun King. The Bourbon dynasty not only took control of Spain, but also became the new overlord of the European continent.

It has to be said that this is luck or the luck of a dynasty.

The ability of Louis XIII is not much different from that of Felipe IV. Strictly speaking, he is even a little bit worse than Felipe IV.

However, France during this period was able to produce in large numbers.

The Duke of Richelieu, Queen Anna, Turenne, etc., are rare in a hundred years, but they are all concentrated in France.

However, Spain has not produced any capable people. Duke Goodman and Oquendo can be said to be mediocre people, and Queen Elizabeth Yin is even worse than Queen Anna.

Therefore, Louis XIII, who does not care about the government, seems to be much stronger than the exhausted Felipe IV.

In fact, he is just lucky, and it really has nothing to do with ability.

Of course, his luck was not so good at this time.

Because the once-in-a-century commander-in-chief Turenne has disappeared, Duke Richelieu and Queen Anna seem to be powerless.

After listening to Duke Richelieu's report and analysis, Louis XIII said lazily as always: "What do you think we should do?"

Alas, what else can I do at this time?

Duke Richelieu frowned and pondered for a while, before carefully saying: "Your Majesty, the Ming Empire will probably occupy the whole of Spain soon, and their next target is likely to be us.

We definitely cannot withstand the army of the Ming Empire or the Kingdom of West Africa. In this case, we can only ask for help from Britain, Sweden, Denmark and other countries. "

Louis XIII nodded without hesitation and said, "That's all right, hurry up and send envoys to England, Sweden, Denmark and other countries for help." …

He, the king, is just throwing his hand at the shopkeeper, and he doesn't care about things at all.

The Duke of Richelieu had no choice but to order the army in southern France to strengthen its defenses, and at the same time send envoys to ask for help from Britain, Sweden, Denmark and other countries.

If the Ming Empire or the Kingdom of West Africa only brought in a few hundred thousand people, he might really be able to keep France.

Unfortunately, that's not the case at all.

At this moment, the harbor south of Lisbon is already densely covered with ships and troops.

The 100 million troops mobilized from North and South America finally arrived, and the next step is to deal with France.

On the flagship, sailors and infantry generals gathered, and De Sierra, Prince Condé and others were also called to attend the meeting.

Taichang stared at the map on the table carefully for a while, and then said solemnly: "Our next goal is France.

France can be said to be the core of the European Continental Union, and it is also the country with the strongest defense in the entire Continental Union. Therefore, we cannot take it lightly. "

France has always attached great importance to homeland defense, which has long been known in the European Union.

Regardless of their actual combat effectiveness, this battle cannot be taken lightly.

Hearing this, all the generals showed a dignified look on their faces.

Taichang scanned around slowly, and then continued: "According to the available information, France still has at least 50 troops.

To be on the safe side, we divided our troops into five groups, each with 50 troops.

In this way, no matter what tactics they play, they will never have a local advantage in strength. "

This is indeed safe enough. Anyway, there are 55 horses in each road, and even if France gathers all the troops, it will never be able to eat a road.

When all the generals heard the words, they all nodded slightly in agreement.

Taichang then pointed to the map and explained in detail: "The specific tactic this time is to divide the troops into five groups and attack from the north and the south.

Among them, the north is the main direction of attack. We invested 160 million troops, divided into three groups, and landed from Cabourg, Le Havre and Calais respectively, and went straight to Paris.

These three routes must be fast, and it is best to take Paris in one fell swoop before the enemy has time to mobilize the army.

The south is the auxiliary attack direction. We have invested 110 million troops, divided into two groups, and landed in Marseille and Montpellier respectively.

There is no need to rush these two routes, just fight slowly, first eliminate the defenders of Marseille and Montpellier, and then slowly advance to the east and west sides. "

This tactic is not complicated, and everyone can understand it as soon as they hear it.

All the generals nodded one after another, and understood.

Taichang then ordered: "Yuan Fang, you lead 150 Aegis ships, 160 Flying Dragon warships, [-] armed merchant ships, and [-] Spike warships to send [-] soldiers from the East African Kingdom, West African Kingdom, and Dongdaying An army of [-] was pulled to the north of France.

Then use naval guns to help them take Cabourg, Le Havre and Calais.

Zu Shou, you led your 5 troops and the East African Kingdom's 50 troops to land from Kabao. After taking Kabao, you quickly advanced towards Paris by land.

Xianglin, you led 5 troops and 50 troops from the Kingdom of West Africa to land in Le Havre. After taking Le Havre, you rushed to Paris from the Seine River in armed merchant ships and Spike warships. …

Cunren, you led your 5 men and 50 men from the Kingdom of East Africa to land from Calais, and after taking Calais, you also quickly advanced towards Paris by land.

The three of you are gathered together, and after taking Paris, you will advance in three directions: east, south, and west.

Zu Shou was in charge of the west, Xianglin was in charge of the south, and Cunren was in charge of the east. "

The reason why he mobilized the troops from the Kingdom of West Africa and the Kingdom of East Africa was to allow them to attack the north of France.

Because when Daming attacked Europe for the first time, the Black God Army had conquered most of the port cities in the north of France with the elites of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion, and they were relatively familiar with that side.

When Zhang Yuanfang, Sun Zushou, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Cunren heard the words, they clasped their hands without any hesitation and said, "The general will understand."

Taichang then ordered: "Prince Kong Dai, you lead your own ships to lead your men and horses to go with Xianglin. After they take Paris, you lead your men and horses to stay in Paris and prepare to be king. "

Oh, this king was picked for nothing!
Prince Kong Dai hurriedly imitated the generals and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

This guy does have some skills, and Daming Mandarin has been learned so quickly.

However, it was precisely because of this guy's ability that Taichang didn't let him participate in the war.

Because he didn't want this guy to recruit too many French troops.

Of course, he wouldn't say such a thing.

He just nodded slightly, and then continued to order: "Hong Kui, you lead a hundred Aegis ships, a hundred Flying Dragon warships and two thousand armed merchant ships to send North American Indian tribes, South American Indian Tribal Alliance and Dongdaying 110 troops to the east. Wan Dajun pulled to the south of France.

Then use naval guns to help them take Marseille and Montpellier.

Yi Ming, you led your 5 troops and 50 North American Indian tribes to land in Montpellier. After taking Montpellier, you led your army towards Toulouse.

Gongming, you led your 5 troops and the 50 troops of the South American Indian Tribal Alliance to land in Marseilles, and after you captured Marseilles, you led your army towards Nice. "

When Zheng Hongkui, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming heard the words, they hurriedly bowed and said: "I will understand."

Early the next morning, thousands of ships and 270 million troops rushed towards the north and south of France.

At this time, the Duke of Richelieu had just sent a clipper to seek help from countries such as Britain, Sweden, and Denmark.

Before he could wait for the replies from all countries, he ushered in the five-way army of the Ming Empire.

Cabourg, Le Havre, Calais, Marseilles, and Montpellier were attacked almost simultaneously, and a great war broke out in an instant.

The attack on Le Havre was the most violent, because Le Havre is at the mouth of the Seine, which can be said to be the gateway to the north of Paris.

Of course Zhang Yuanfang knew the importance of Le Havre, so he mobilized a hundred Aegis ships and fifty Flying Dragon warships to assist Ma Xianglin in landing here.

There was nothing polite to say at this time, the fleet was still more than [-] miles away from Le Havre, and the coastline of the Mo Lake had just appeared in the telescope, so he decisively ordered fifty dragon warships to step forward slowly, firing rockets Aim for the fort near the port docks and the ramparts of Le Havre. …

The defenders of Le Havre had just heard the ships traveling to and from the English Channel say that there seemed to be a fleet coming this way, when rows of rockets suddenly appeared in the sky.

Almost instantly, raging fires ignited on the fort at the port pier and the city wall to the north of Le Havre, and the sound of the explosion was heard incessantly.

The fifty flying dragon warships fired rockets, which should have no explosive effect, but the defenders of Le Havre just moved out all the ammunition for the coastal defense guns, and the powder kegs were naturally a bit explosive. fry.

After several rounds of incendiary bomb attacks, the fort near the port pier and the city wall to the north of Le Havre were almost completely engulfed in flames.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanfang immediately dispatched 5 Aegis ships to pull all the 50 troops from the Eastern Daying Camp and the [-] troops from the West African Kingdom to the port, and landed them forcibly.

The defenders of Le Havre did not receive any orders to retreat this time, so they still resisted tenaciously.

However, the weapons and equipment of the Ming army and the army of the West African Kingdom were really good. In addition, they also had buildings and gunboats to assist them. The shells rained down on the fort and the city wall, and they had no chance to fire at all.

Moreover, the defenders of Le Havre are only about 55 in total. How could they withstand the crazy attack of [-] horses and naval guns?
It took them less than half an hour to open the south gate and run away.

There's no way, it's not that they like to escape, it's that the enemy's firepower is too fierce, they can't defend at all.

Seeing this, Ma Xianglin immediately led 40 armed merchant ships and [-] Spike warships forward, pulled [-] horses and headed straight for Paris.

The Duke of Richelieu just received the urgent report from Le Havre, and the ships of the Ming Empire landed near Paris with an army of 40.

Before he had time to inform Louis XIII and Queen Anna to escape, the whole of Paris was surrounded by their land and water troops.

What followed was continuous artillery bombardment.

Ma Xianglin was not in a hurry, anyway, there were naval ships, no matter how many troops the enemy mobilized, they would not be able to take him.

In this way, he commanded 40 horses and naval ships of the Kingdom of West Africa to bombard the walls and fortresses outside Paris for three days. It was not until Sun Zushou rushed over with the 40 horses who landed in Cabourg that he joined forces with them. One place, flooding into the city of Paris from all directions.

Paris, France fell, but Louis XIII, Queen Anna, and Duke Richelieu seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

As for the so-called 50 French army, they couldn't withstand the north-south attack of 2705 million horses at all. They just resisted a little and then began to use their strengths, frantically fleeing towards the Holy Roman Empire in the east!

It has to be said that there is indeed a problem with the resistance awareness of the French army. They are a typical defeat. In less than a month, the whole of France was occupied.

This speed is more than ten days faster than World War II in history!
