Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 986
Zhou Lishun, Minister of Honglu Temple, cupped his hands and reported:
"Your Majesty, your envoy from the Safi Empire came to Daming and asked to become the kingdom of Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, please be the master!"

"Oh……"

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised by Zhou Lishun's words:

"Isn't the Safay Empire at war with the Ottoman Empire? Why would you ask to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty at this time? Wouldn't you want to use the Ming Dynasty to clean up the Ottoman Empire?"

Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, cupped his hands and said:
"Maybe they have this intention, maybe they feel that they will be destroyed by Ming Dynasty sooner or later, so they take the initiative to try out with Ming Dynasty, after all, they border Tianzhu Province."

Zhu Youjian knew that the Safi Empire was the future Iran, and now the Arab world was almost controlled by the Ottomans. After defeating the Ottoman Empire, Ming and the Four Kingdoms would definitely take over the Arab world, and there really needed a spokesperson there.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youjian said to the Minister of Honghe Temple:
"Zhou Aiqing, go and tell the envoys of the Safi Empire that if they are sincere in becoming the kingdom of Ming, they will fully cooperate with the four Holy Roman kingdoms to attack Ottoman. It is deciding the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Safi Empire."

The Minister of Honglu Temple hastily received the decree:

"According to the order!"

"The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, pass on my order to ask Huang Degong and Zheng Chenggong to stand still and see if the Safi army will attack Ottoman with all their strength. If they remain still, they will send troops to attack the Safi Empire in ten days."

"According to the order!"

Just as the three of them were about to withdraw, Zhu Youjian said again:
"Do your best to ensure the ammunition supply of the Ming Association Army that attacked Ottoman. I heard that they are very brave. I may have to send a few more titles. Go!"

"According to the purpose"

……

Europe
The infantry and cavalry of the Allied forces who attacked the Ottoman Empire cooperated with each other and attacked the city smoothly all the way. They hardly encountered decent resistance. However, they encountered the 30 Ottoman army on the Hungarian prairie, and the two sides prepared to fight to the death.

If this battle defeats the Allies, the Ottoman Empire will have a chance to breathe. If this battle fails, the Ottoman Empire may collapse or even perish.

Because at this time, many small countries that had previously conquered in their territory began to be pampered, and the Ottoman Empire could not afford to lose.

After the two sides sent a small group of troops to conduct a tentative attack, they did not start a large-scale battle immediately, but carried out fierce shelling. The rumbling of the cannons on the battlefield made the eardrums buzzing, and the whole earth trembled.

Because of the encounter on the plain, Ottoman did not have a castle to cover, and the Allied Forces of the Five Nations also encountered a powerful opponent. More than 2000 cannons from both sides have been bombarding each other for two days, but have not launched a charge.

With both sides having firearms, neither side dared to charge easily. In this shelling, both sides suffered serious casualties. At least [-] soldiers left their lives on the Hortobaji grassland forever.

The battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and many places smelled of broken corpses blown away by shells. Two days later, both sides agreed to stop the shelling, and after a day's rest, the cannons rang out again.

If Zhu Youjian sees their style of play, he will definitely laugh his teeth out. He obviously wants to eat the other party in one bite, but now he is polite and will leave time for the other party to sleep and eat. Where war is clearly playing games.

The shelling continued on the third day, and both sides also suffered a lot of casualties, but the soldiers on both sides were really brave, and no soldiers escaped from the battlefield. The artillerymen also nervously wiped the barrels, filled them with ammunition and shells, and then ignited the bombardment.

Because the Ming Association Army did not carry heavy artillery, they all retreated and waited to charge when the two sides shelled, but they waited for three days and did not wait for the opportunity to charge, and the two sides were still fighting.

That night, the war ceased again. When the military division meeting room was held, Yang Pu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Ming Alliance Army, said:
"Da Ming can't understand your stupid way of fighting, which has no tactical content at all. Da Ming used to fight with very few casualties, and your way of fighting didn't even have people charging in the end. We request a change in tactics. If you have no objection, I On behalf of Ming Dynasty, he will take over the command to attack Ottoman..."

"Yes, I will support General Yang's suggestion!"

The Ming army did not send the main force to participate in the battle this time. The 3 people who came included [-] Ming allied troops and [-] Cossack cavalry. The field commander was General Harrington, the earl of the Holy Roman Empire. The Swedish commander was also an earl. The Danish commander and Norwegian commanders are all counts.

These four people are all nobles of their empire, and they all participated in the Thirty Years War. The Thirty Years War was a 30-year melee in which European countries participated, so it cannot be said that they have no combat experience.

After Yang Pu finished speaking, Li Daoheng, the deputy commander of the Ming Xiejun, the general of Joseon Province, immediately expressed his support for Yang Pu's decision.

If it was the generals of the Ming army who said so, it would be fine. They were not even regular soldiers of the Ming army, yet they dared to speak nonsense in front of these western counts.

However, considering that they represent Daming for the time being, the four of them could only swallow their anger and dare not attack, the Holy Roman Earl Harrington immediately followed suit:

"Alright, since General Yang thinks we are incompetent, you will be in command from tomorrow."

Seeing that Harrington gave up his command, the other three immediately agreed:

"General Yang represents Daming, and we have no objections from the Three Kingdoms!"

The four white-skinned pigs tacitly handed over the command to Yang Pu. To be honest, they didn't know how to defeat the Ottoman Empire. They were worried that they would not be able to explain to their superiors if they failed.

The other generals didn't come. Yang Pu is now the supreme commander of the Ming army. He used to be a thousand households in the Longteng Army, and later served as a deputy general in Zhengbei Dufu.

The reason why Yang Pu has such great confidence is not entirely because he has the powerful backing of the Damen Dynasty, but because he himself does have two brushes, and the Mingxie Army under his command has a good combat effectiveness under his training.

"Okay, the four lords think highly of me, Yangpu, and this general will take over this burden, but I have to say something ugly about this general. Since you didn't give me the command of Yangpu, you must cooperate with us and obey us. Yang Pu's command, otherwise no one can afford to lose the army."

Yang Pu was worried that these four white-skinned pigs would cheat him, so he warned them first, and the four nodded repeatedly:

"Of course, I ask General Yang to arrange tactics."

Yang Pu said to the four earls:
"The armies of our five countries are divided into four groups. In the early morning of tomorrow, the artillery will quietly move the artillery forward by 300 meters, and take the lead in bombarding the Ottoman army positions, so that the Ottoman artillery will directly destroy their artillery positions before they can fire.

After the Ottoman artillery positions were destroyed, the Holy Roman Empire and the Danish army attacked from the front in the middle.

The Norwegian army is on the left, the Swedish army is on the right, and the Ming army turns around behind the Ottoman army. The four armies attack the Ottoman army at the same time, and they will definitely defeat the Ottoman army in one fell swoop. "
