Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 858

The Duke of Richelieu really did not expect that the good situation he carefully planned would develop like this.

Their first attack ended hastily because of mutual suspicion, and they did not achieve the goal of cutting off Spain's money, food and resources.

If they knew this, they might as well send land and water troops to attack the forts and forts on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar first.

If they can take the forts and forts on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, they can at least open the door to Spain.

Now it's all right, the Ming Empire's fleet is stuck there, they can't sneak attack even if they want to, and they can't get in.

Originally, they all thought that the fleet of the Ming Empire would return to America with the Spanish fleet.

As a result, they waited for two or three months until the monsoon and ocean currents turned, and the Spanish fleet returned to America, while the Ming Empire's fleet was still stuck there!

It is definitely not possible to wait like this, because the Earl of Stratford has brought back news that the Mughal Empire may not last for a few months. Even if they are allowed to use the governors from all over the country to resist, at most they will be able to hold back Daming Empire for a year or so.

If they continue to wait like this, what they are waiting for may not be an opportunity but the huge fleet of the Ming Empire!
In desperation, the Duke of Richelieu had no choice but to convene representatives of the anti-Habsburg alliance countries to come to Paris to discuss major plans.

Another month has passed since this convening.

This time it was almost the same crew, and the Earl of Strafford also deliberately stayed, and did not send muskets and artillery with the fleet to the Mughal Empire.

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, because they all knew that if they waited any longer, it might be over.

Richelieu looked at the representatives of various countries with uncertain faces, and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I don't know what you think, this is the moment of life and death, and you still play tricks to preserve your strength.

Is it useful for you to preserve your strength?

Tell them that it will take another year at most before the Ming Empire will attack.

At that time, will you be able to withstand the millions or even millions of troops of the Ming Empire even if you are unscathed? "

Hendrick, Prince of Orange, immediately chimed in: "How can I command the United Fleet if you do this?

Everyone doesn't obey orders, how can we fight this battle? "

Well, France, who is the strongest on land, and the Netherlands, who is the strongest at sea, really can't afford to provoke them. Representatives from various countries dare not say anything even if they have opinions. What's more, they were wrong in the last war.

It was indeed their fault that a well-planned sneak attack turned out to be a joke.

Seeing this, the Earl of Stratford couldn't help but said worriedly: "I am in charge of Far East affairs, I was not in Europe during the last war, and I don't know what happened.

I just want to tell you that the Ming Empire is very strong, even stronger than we imagined.

The Mughal Empire assembled more than 200 million troops to attack a border province, and they were eventually wiped out by them. Even Shah Jahan and the three princes of the Mughal Empire lost all news.

At this moment, the Mughal Empire has a total of 20 horses, and they must not last long.

If we don't rush to clean up Spain, then wait to be cleaned up by Spain and the Ming Empire. "

Alas, this matter is done.

Duke Weimar said helplessly: "It's useless to talk about it now, let's talk about what to do next."

The Duke of Richelieu saw that everyone lost his temper because of his power, so he sighed slightly: "Originally, we were in a good situation. As long as we cut off Spain's money, food and resources, and then take the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain is basically over. .

Now, there is no need to think about the Strait of Gibraltar. A dozen armored warships of the Ming Empire will go there. Whether it is by sea or land, or if both land and sea attack, we will never even think about taking the Strait of Gibraltar.

We can only consider landing from Portugal in the west. "

This should not be a common saying in the Ming Dynasty, take off your pants and fart, is it unnecessary?

If they wanted to land in Portugal from the west, they could do it without thousands of new warships.

Because Portugal has long been annexed by Spain, and Spain does not have many troops stationed in Portugal, as long as they join forces, they can take Portugal even with sailing warships.

Question, it's useless to win Portugal!
There are almost mountains between Portugal and Spain, and all the main roads leading to Spain are guarded by cities or fortresses. Rather than attacking Spain eastward after taking Portugal, they might as well send troops from southern France directly to Spain.

At least in this way, it is much more convenient to transfer food, grass, weapons and ammunition.

When the Duke of Weimar heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Why don't we gather all the horses in your southern France, and then attack Spain together?
After taking Portugal in such a big circle and then going east to attack Spain, not only will it take a few days to go around at sea, but also a few days on land. "

The Duke of Richelieu shook his head slightly and said: "No, the place where we border Spain to the south is originally a mountainous area, and Spain has been hoarding heavy troops to guard every main road.

If we launch an attack directly from the south, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and we may not be able to fight through.

If we take Portugal first, and then fight all the way east, Spain will definitely have to mobilize a large army to defend, so that there will not be many people on the southern defense line.

I mean attack from both sides, you gather forces to take Portugal and go east, we also gather troops to fight south.

Spain has only so many troops, and it is a bit difficult to defend one route alone. They must not be able to take care of the two routes. At that time, there must be one route that can easily break through their defense. "

Well, it turned out to be a double attack.

This tactic seems to work.

The Duke of Weimar thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, we will send 20 troops from Sweden."

The Duke of Richelieu nodded slightly, and then looked at the representatives of other countries.

Hendrick, Prince of Orange, was the first to shake his head and said: "We don't have much army, and we have to defend the Holy Roman Empire in the southeast. We can't get out of the army."

The rebel representative of the Holy Roman Empire also shook his head and said: "We have been suppressed and beaten by the Holy Roman Empire, and we can't get out of the army."

Representatives of the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia also shook their heads and said that most of their troops had been transferred to the border of the Ming Empire, and there was no way to make up the number.

When the Danish representative saw the situation, he could only say incredulously, "We have an army of [-] in Denmark."

The Duke of Richelieu finally looked at the Earl of Stratford.

The Earl of Stratford could only helplessly say, "We have an army of 20 from the UK."

Upon hearing this, Duke Richelieu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, it's almost enough.

We in France will mobilize an army of 50 to attack from the south with all our strength. I hope you can send troops with all your strength and cooperate as much as possible.

This time we can't take Spain with a million troops, so there is no chance.

You guys have to think about it carefully, if you play any tricks to preserve your strength, then get ready to face the million-strong army of the Ming Empire! "

They thought it would take at least a year for the Ming Empire to escape from the Mughal Empire. In fact, Taichang had already led his fleet to the Western Yindu Islands at this moment!

A large group of people also gathered in the largest conference room on the Monarch, and they were also discussing the matter of dispatching troops to Portugal.

This time, representatives from various forces in the Americas had been notified in advance, including representatives from [-] dependent countries in North America, including Carlinio and De Sierra, and even A Suzu and Zhao Baiyun.

Seeing such a large group of acquaintances gathered together, Taichang couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Carlinio, how is it going, how is the development going?"

Carinho said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have already captured all the saltpeter mines you want, and we have also occupied several gold and silver mines. There are people."

not bad.

Taichang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Has the King of Spain responded?"

Carinho reckoned: "Maybe the King of Spain doesn't know yet, because we launched the raid from the junction of the Governor's District of Peru and the Governor's District of La Plata. The saltpeter mine is there, and they didn't send many people to guard it. .

Moreover, we are basically in the same pot, and no one is let go.

It is estimated that the Governor of Peru does not know what is going on at this moment. "

well.

Taichang nodded in approval and said, "You guys have done a good job, so don't report this matter to the King of Spain yet.

After all, Europe has already started fighting at this moment, and we have to go to help. If the King of Spain knows what is going on here, he will inevitably become suspicious.

Let the Duke of Braganza fool the King of Spain first.

How about you, Desierra, how is your development going? "

De Sierra was also quite excited and said: "Your Majesty, I have 5 people under my command, and Bahia is basically self-sufficient."

Not bad.

Taichang nodded with satisfaction, and then solemnly said: "This time, I have blackmailed Portugal for you under the pretense that I need to hoard millions of troops and food and grass.

You first send Desilao and Hangoria to bring some reliable people over there, and secretly develop your strength in your homeland.

When the anti-Habsburg alliance is defeated, our opponents will be Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. At that time, you can find a chance to restore your country. "

Hearing this, De Xie La couldn't help cupping his hands excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "This time, in order not to make the king of Spain suspicious, we pretended to pull a million people over to make a point.

Zuma, Atlantis, how about, do you want to bring all the 50 Black Gods to Europe to practice.

Don't worry, we basically won't fight land battles, and even if we want to fight, we don't need you to fight. "

Naturally, this kind of good thing cannot be missed. Zuma and Atlanta nodded again and again, and said excitedly: "Thank you, the emperor, for taking our Black God Army to practice. We can also go to war. After all, we have to fight in Africa. Why don't we fight in Africa first?" Let's try Europa."

This is true, isn't their main opponent the European colonial bandits?

Taichang thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, there is a chance for you to go up and try."

Immediately afterwards, he said to the representatives of the [-] dependent countries in North America: "How about it, do you want to send some people to go with me to experience it?"

OK!

The great elders of the [-] dependent countries in North America were scrambling to be the first to say: "We will give [-], we will give [-]!"

Just kidding, each vassal country sends out 5 mana, wouldn't that be a million troops!
Taichang was rather dumbfounded and said: "Don't you want young people to work?
How about this, the Sioux and Algonquin tribes each send [-] troops.

The Iroquois, Cherokee, and Apache tribes on the east coast should not send troops, and you have to guard against the anti-Habsburg alliance's sneak attack. "

At this moment, the chief elders of the Sioux and Algonquin tribes were overjoyed, but the Iroquois, Cherokee and Apache tribes were listless.

There's no way, if the emperor doesn't take them there, they won't be able to go.

Taichang then said to his precious apprentice: "Asuzu, your Amazon tribal alliance has also picked out one hundred thousand elite soldiers, and brought them to Europe to practice hard."

A Suzu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Student understands."

It is actually very easy for the Americas to pull out a million troops at this moment. If you really want to fight with the anti-Habsburg alliance to pull out 200 million troops, it will not be a problem!
Taichang didn't even think about pulling them to fight desperately, he just pulled out a million-strong army to make fun of, and by the way, help the various forces here to train their troops.
