Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 866
The Ming Empire was so ruthless!

Moritz looked at the area cleared by the Ming army and couldn't believe his eyes.

The shipyard was dismantled by others. This is normal. All the ships were sunk by others. This can be tolerated. The civilians have been cleaned up by others. This is unacceptable.

He doesn't feel sorry for the civilians. The key is that the people are gone. How will the Netherlands develop in the future?

The Ming Empire is going to destroy the Netherlands and break the foundation of the Netherlands!

It would be impossible for him to hide like this, and it would be over if he hid in the Netherlands.

The problem is, it's useless for him to rush out, because they have less than 10 horses and they are not the opponents of the Ming Empire at all.

How to do it?

It seems that they only took the civilians and ran to France.

Because the north of the Netherlands is the sea, and the fleet of the Ming Empire has been haunting the coast.

They also didn't have large ships. If they used large sailboats to transfer people, they would be courting death. The Ming Empire would definitely sink their sailboats without hesitation.

The southeast of the Netherlands is the Holy Roman Empire, and they are also looking for death when they escape.

Only to the southwest is France, which is also an anti-Habsburg alliance.

He had no choice but to take the civilians to France.

It has to be said that this is a great irony.

He has long seen that the Duke of Richelieu is a scammer who specializes in scamming his allies, but now he wants to lead people to jump into other traps!
This time, how will the old fox Richelieu trick them?

Moritz couldn't care less.

Because the Ming Empire has cleaned up more than half of the entire Netherlands, and the number of civilians under his control is less than 50, and they can clean up areas with more than 5 people in one day.

If you don't run away, there will be 40 million or even 20 million people left. It's no wonder that the Netherlands can still develop.

When the Dutch civilians heard that the Ming Empire would take them all into slavery after they were captured, they were frightened and fled desperately towards France.

They are the biggest slave traders at the moment, so they naturally know how miserable it is to become a slave.

In their eyes, slaves are no longer human beings, but tools, tools for making money, and they are also tools that consume a lot of money. It is considered good if one out of ten survives. The rest are either exhausted or starved to death. !
They didn't want to be slaves or tools, so they had no choice but to flee desperately towards France.

This time, Zhang Yuanfang, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, Zheng Hongkui and other Ming army generals were completely stunned. They were arresting people with great enthusiasm.

Because Taichang said that civilians in the Netherlands are also counted as military merit. Although it is not 100 taels, but 20 taels, men, women, old and young are all counted.

They arrested 100 taels, which is 50 million taels. They have arrested more than [-] taels, which is tens of millions of taels!
As a result, after catching and catching, people disappeared, and even the city and the fortress were deserted!
How is this going?

They were puzzled, so they could only send the Flying Dragon Warship to ask Taichang for instructions.

Taichang was also a little confused when he received the news.

The Dutch would drop everything and run away!
What should we do now?
Naturally, hurry up to chase!

It's a pity that they went back and forth like this and missed the best time to pursue.

The Dutch have boats, no matter big or small, there are many of them.

Moreover, paddling boats similar to octopus boats are not slow in the river. If people are running for their lives, it is natural that they will change hands and keep paddling desperately. It is not a problem to escape more than a hundred miles a day.

At this moment, the length of the entire territory of the Netherlands is only more than [-] miles, and after the general territory is occupied, there are only [-] miles left.

They fled desperately, and they could escape to France in three days.

The soldiers of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion chased desperately, and they were able to catch up to the French border in three days. The problem is that they set off at least one day later than the others, so naturally they couldn't catch up.

The whole of the Netherlands has been occupied by them, and the current maritime overlord has been taken care of so easily by them!
However, Taichang was a little unhappy, because most of the family's population had fled to France, and his expected goal had not been realized.

What should I do, should I go directly to the interior of France?

This is not a good way.

The French seem vulnerable, but they are not.

The number of their artillery is not small.

If they are confronting others near the coastline, they can still use the super armor of the Dreadnought and Aegis to catch them and bombard them.

It would not be so easy for them to rush into other people's inland, and they took advantage of the city and fortress to catch them and bombard them.

In this case, one hundred thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and one hundred thousand soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion are not enough to consume!

Taichang hesitated for a while, but decided, forget it, first transfer the captured Dutch civilians and a large amount of supplies to Lisbon.

Duke Richelieu did not know that the Ming Empire would not chase after him.

Because the Spaniard's offensive is very fierce at this moment, they are rushing desperately towards Paris regardless of casualties!

If the Ming Empire did the same thing, he really didn't know how long 50 million people could last.

Therefore, when Moritz took more than [-] Dutch civilians and land and water soldiers to take refuge in France, he was surprised and delighted.

He is happy that the Netherlands is over, and most of the Dutch have come to France. As long as they swallow this group of people, they will instantly have the potential to dominate the sea.

What surprised him was that if the Ming Empire followed and fought desperately towards Paris, France might not be able to last long.

At this time, you can no longer hesitate, you must surrender quickly.

How could Moritz have imagined that the old fox was about to surrender.

After he fled to France with more than [-] people, he galloped all the way to Paris.

There is no way, the food and lodging of more than [-] of them have to rely on France.

Even if he didn't want to, he had to run over and beg the Duke of Richelieu.

The Duke of Richelieu welcomed him into his mansion politely, and served the best coffee to show his grandeur.

At this moment, Moritz couldn't be in the mood to drink coffee. After he sat down, he said anxiously, "Your Excellency, the whole of the Netherlands will be occupied by the Ming Empire. What should we do?"

What else can I do?
Surrender now!
Duke Richelieu pretended to frown and ponder for a while, and then asked, "How many days have you resisted back and forth?"

Moritz still anxiously said: "We have resisted for less than ten days, the Ming Empire is too powerful, we simply cannot resist it!

Moreover, their purpose is obviously to destroy our Netherlands, and all civilians in the areas occupied by them were captured by them.

I have no choice but to flee to your French territory with the remaining half a million people.

Your Excellency, the duke, I need your help for the food and lodging of these more than half a million people! "

Hey, you know you want me.

It's okay to help, but I won't feed you in vain.

Duke Richelieu pretended to sigh worriedly and said, "Oh, you can't last ten days, how long do you think we can last?

We are being attacked from both sides by the Ming Empire and Spain. The Spaniards are almost approaching Paris at this moment. If the Ming Empire presses over from the northeast again, we will not be able to resist it. "

Ah!
When Moritz heard this, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

France can't resist it anymore, so they are definitely over!

He panicked and said, "Your Excellency, what shall we do?"

How to do?
The Duke of Richelieu pretended to sigh helplessly: "There is no other way. In this case, we can only surrender. Otherwise, we, France, and you, the Netherlands, are all finished."

surrender?

You old fox has been planning for so long, which has made our countries busy for so long, and now the fight has just started, and you want to surrender!
When Moritz heard this, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Your Excellency, is there no other way?"

Duke Richelieu still pretended to be helpless and said: "It's not like you haven't seen the strength of the Ming Empire, tell me, how can we resist?

We can't resist what will happen in the end?
All territories were occupied by them, and all civilians were drawn into slavery by them.

If this is the case, do you think there is still hope for us France and your Netherlands to recover? "

That is indeed gone.

Moritz could only shake his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.

It means agreeing.

The Duke of Richelieu said solemnly: "Therefore, we must surrender, and the sooner the better, the later we will lose more."

The question is, the anti-Habsburg coalition consists of eight countries, can we just agree with each other?
Moritz couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, our two countries agree to surrender, but what if the other six countries disagree?"

Duke Richelieu heard this and said coldly: "If they don't agree, then let them fight the Ming Empire!

It doesn't matter what they do at this time, anyway, we surrendered, and they can just figure it out. "

You old fox, even if you surrender, you want to deceive people. You are clearly letting them consume the strength of the Ming Empire!
Moritz thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "The Ming Empire is too strong, it will only suffer if we fight, so let's persuade everyone to surrender.

Hendrick has gone to Sweden with the combined fleet, and I can send for him to persuade the kings of Sweden and Denmark.

Your Excellency, the other countries can only rely on you. "

Duke Richelieu nodded slightly and said: "All right, I'll send someone to persuade them, if they don't listen, there's nothing I can do.

The most important thing now is to contact the Ming Empire and Spain as soon as possible so that they don't fight anymore. "

Taichang really didn't expect that the anti-Habsburg alliance would be discouraged.

He was mobilizing merchant ships in Amsterdam to transfer captives and goods. Qin Yiming, who was guarding the French border, hurried back in a dragon battleship, ran up to him, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, France sent an envoy and said they want to negotiate peace with us." .”

peace talks?

This is what surrender means!

What is going on with the anti-Habsburg coalition?

How long has this battle been fought?
It's been less than a month since they really started fighting, okay?
Did something go wrong?
It was you who deliberately provoked this world war, okay?

As a result, after fighting for less than a month, you surrendered!
