Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 855 Come, Come Beg Me
The anti-Habsburg alliance launched a war, and thousands of warships appeared at once, and they were all ships!
Taichang was really surprised when he saw the telegram from America.

Fortunately, at this moment, the submarine cable has been laid to America.

Fang Yizhi used a stupid method, that is to make submarine cables one by one, as long as they can be made, and then connect them one by one, seal them with rubber bands and plastics, and then use the island As a transit, it is divided into sections, and several sections are started at the same time, laying all the way to America.

There are actually islands connecting Daming to America all the way.

From the capital of the Ming Dynasty, turn to Shanhaiguan, then to Liaodong, then to the vassal state of Korea, then to Tsushima Island, then to Kyushu Island, then through the four eastern islands, then to the Little Eastern Islands, then to the North Pacific Islands, and then to the North Pacific Islands. America.

Although this process is a bit troublesome, it can still be realized with the existing technical conditions.

A world war has broken out, and communication is the most important link for Daming.

Therefore, after Fang Yizhi proposed this stupid method, he strongly supported it and ordered the Ministry of Industry to fully cooperate.

Now, the telegraph line between Daming mainland and America was finally connected, and it didn't take long for him to receive such an important message.

European colonial bandits are bad or bad, and their research and development capabilities are beyond doubt.

Historically, in order to maintain their technological leadership and ensure their plundering of the world, these guys invested in research and development quite crazy.

Now they are fighting for world hegemony, plundering colonies, and plundering resources, so they are naturally even crazier.

There is no way, they will be able to develop the steamship sooner or later, this can't stop it.

What needs to be considered now is how to win this world war.

Judging from the situation reported by Zheng Zhikui, the anti-Habsburg alliance is not monolithic, and they all have their own ghosts.

This can be put to good use.

Whoever stands out, then catch him and beat him to death. This is also a very good way.

The problem is that the King of Spain still pretends not to know at this moment, and keeps silent. If he leads the fleet to help, there will be something wrong.

Anyway, there is no problem for Daming to protect himself at this moment, Spain is not in a hurry, why is he in a hurry?
Come beg me, if you don't come beg me, I won't send troops, see who is in a hurry!
Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then said loudly: "Come here."

Cao Huachun entered in response, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Taichang solemnly confessed: "Immediately call back America and ask Zheng Zhikui to come according to the previous covenant. He only escorts the ship and ignores other matters. When the Spanish fleet returns, they will escort them back."

He wouldn't take the initiative to use a hot face to stick someone's cold ass, he had to wait until someone begged him before making a move, so that Daming would take the initiative, and he could propose conditions to the King of Spain.

The strategy of the anti-Habsburg alliance is actually quite good. Use the Mughal Empire to hold back Ming, and then concentrate on cleaning up Spain. First unify the European continent, and then fight against Ming. This strategy is really good.

The problem is, the Mughal Empire is too bad, it can't hold back Daming at all!

At this moment, he really doesn't need to keep too many troops here, because Lahore, the old capital of the Mughal Empire, has been surrounded by Lu Xiangsheng, and all their last troops are in the encirclement.

As long as they take Lahore, the Mughal Empire is basically over. As for cleaning up other places, it is very simple.

Their follow-up strategy has been decided, which is to send Ahara to take the prisoners to persuade them to surrender first, and whoever does not surrender will be caught and beaten to death!
I believe that after killing a few chickens, the other monkeys will be honest.

Of course, Lahore is not so easy to win. There are not only more than [-] troops in it, but also a batch of muskets and artillery supported by the anti-Habsburg alliance. If they launch a hard attack, they will definitely suffer a lot. .

How to do it?

The European War has already begun, so he must not stay here for too long. Once the King of Spain comes to beg him, then he has to lead the fleet to help. Otherwise, he will be beaten to death by the anti-Habsburg alliance. Daming is about to face the entire continent of Europe alone.

He frowned and pondered for a while, and then said loudly to the door: "Pass down grandson Zushou."

At the moment, Sun Zushou is still guarding the north bank of Jiehe River, which is hundreds of miles away from Xinwuwei City.

Fortunately, there are more and more flying dragon warships at the moment, and a few ships have been parked in Xinwuwei City, so it won't take long to send them over to pick up Sun Zushou.

About an hour later, Sun Zushou hurried into the study, bowed his hands and said: "The last general will see the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked: "How are those prisoners still honest?"

Sun Zushou nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, those captives have been very honest since they were dispersed to grow vegetables. Now, it is enough to send tens of thousands of cavalry to take turns to patrol every day."

This means that he can lead the army to go to war.

Taichang nodded slightly, and asked again: "How many flat carriages have you built to transport vegetables and grain?"

There were more than 100 million captives in the area they surrounded, and there were quite a lot of fruits and vegetables grown by these captives.

Every day, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion would bring in a batch of grain and meat, and then bring out a batch of melons, fruits and vegetables.

The amount they pulled was millions of people, so naturally they needed to build a lot of carriages.

Sun Zushou said without hesitation: "The last general has ordered people to build [-] flatbed carriages, which are enough for transporting grain, meat, fruits and vegetables."

That's it.

Taichang said decisively: "You take one hundred thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and ten thousand carriages to Delhi to help transport weapons and ammunition, and at least ten thousand of the 20-jin Thor cannons must be transported to Lahore, and at least [-] shells must be transported. Wanfa.

In addition, if you bring a message to Jiandou, as soon as the [-]-jin Thunder God Cannon arrives, you will immediately launch an attack, take Lahore in one fell swoop, and destroy the royal family of the Mughal Empire first. "

At this time, in the royal palace in Madrid, King Felipe IV of Spain was also frowning and thinking.

He really didn't expect that the anti-Habsburg alliance would build thousands of new warships in such a short period of time.

He naturally knew the power of steam ships and warships, because the Ming Empire was full of steam ships and warships.

This kind of warship is too flexible. If a sailing warship encounters it, it will basically only have to be hanged.

He also knew that if Daming's ironclad warships didn't help, they wouldn't even be able to defend the Strait of Gibraltar.

Once the Strait of Gibraltar falls, Spain will open its door wide, and the entire east coast will face the frenzied bombing of the anti-Habsburg alliance fleet.

At that time, they probably won't even be able to keep their homeland!
The problem is, he still doesn't want to ask the Ming Empire for help.

Because the appetite of the Ming Empire is too great, asking others for help will have to pay a price.

His first call for help cost the West Indies and all of North America.

Later, he wanted to make a fool of himself and let Carlinio, a chess piece, come forward to lure the Ming Empire to drive away the anti-Habsburg alliance army entrenched in the Brazilian Governor-General.

As a result, people directly occupied the entire Amazon River Basin!
Of course, he didn't know yet that Daming had actually controlled the entire Brazilian Governor-General.

Moreover, at this moment, Ming is preparing to use Carlino and De Sierra to cooperate to control all Spanish colonies in America.

The news he received was all sent back by the Duke of Braganza who was imprisoned by Ming Dynasty. He didn't know the real situation in America at all.

At this time, he didn't care about the situation in America anymore.

The Spanish mainland is about to lose its hold, so why does he have the heart to manage the overseas colonies!

He frowned and pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Order to ride fast horses to the Strait of Gibraltar, and ask the Ming Navy to leave ten warships to help guard the entrance of the strait."

He just wanted to be sloppy and fool others.

If the admirals of the Ming Empire were foolish enough to really think that Ming and Spain were hard-core allies, then it was really possible to leave ten warships to help them defend the Strait of Gibraltar, and send another ten warships to escort their return fleet.

Unfortunately, Zheng Zhikui is not so stupid.

He had already sent an Aegis ship to the east coast of America to report to Taichang and Sun Chuanting.

And the speed of Spain's transmission on land is simply incomparable with the speed of the Aegis ship's transmission at sea.

It took only a month for the Aegis ship to go back and forth at sea, while the Spaniards spent more than a month sending messages back and forth on land.

When Felipe IV sent someone to fool him, he had already received Taichang's instructions.

Taichang's instructions are very simple, that is, according to the previous covenant, only escort, and nothing else.

Therefore, Zheng Zhikui's answer is also very simple. His task is to escort. As for guarding the Strait of Gibraltar at this moment, it is because he is waiting for your fleet to return. He doesn't care about other things. Escorted back to the Americas for a business trip.

Felipe IV received the reply, only sighed again and again.

It's not easy to fool people, what should I do?

Could it be that he let the fleet from the Americas stay here and not go back, so as to hold back the dozen or so warships of the Ming Navy?

That is impossible!

At this moment, the Habsburg dynasty was counting on gold, silver and supplies from America.

If the fleet from America did not go back to bring gold, silver and supplies, they might not even be able to pay the troops.

At this time, the anti-Habsburg alliance has built thousands of new warships and is ready to deal with them. What will happen if they can't even pay them?
Don't think about it, once the food and wages are not paid, the armies of all walks of life will collapse soon!

At that time, the Habsburg dynasty will be over.

Therefore, even if he didn't want to, he still had to ask the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

Only when the emperor of the Ming Empire nodded, his naval warships would help them guard the Strait of Gibraltar.

Of course, if he is willing to pay the price, the Ming Empire can also help him defeat the combined fleet of the anti-Habsburg alliance, and even help him defeat the entire anti-Habsburg alliance.

At this time, how should he choose?
Felipe IV is also like a gambler, if he doesn't bet, if he wants to bet, then put all his net worth, a stud!
Anyway, you have to pay the price to ask the Ming Empire for help, so it is better to ask others to help directly overthrow the anti-Habsburg alliance. What's the point of just defending the Strait of Gibraltar?
If he can defeat the anti-Habsburg alliance, he can still gain a lot of benefits. Just asking someone to help defend the Strait of Gibraltar is a pure loss!
He gritted his teeth and wrote a letter directly, asking the Ming Empire Navy to forward it to the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

Come on, play big, directly overthrow the anti-Habsburg alliance, and see what kind of price you need before you are willing to help!
