Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 727 World Class Battle

This 30-year war expanded again. Finally, Song Qingshu agreed, and Ming Dynasty also began to declare war on the Protestant alliances of France, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, and even Russia. Allies, the battlefield of this all-European war began to expand to Asia, and even in the New World, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.

To be honest, forming an alliance with the strong is generally the best choice. Now the Netherlands is on the rise, France is not bad, and Spain and the Holy Roman Empire are the side that has been defeated repeatedly, but the Catholic countries represent Europe's old religious power and feudal ruling power, but the Protestant alliance represents the emerging bourgeoisie. Once they win, Europe will usher in an unprecedented period of great development. This is not what Song Qingshu wants to see.

And if he does not form an alliance with Spain, then this year, at the end of the 30-year war, the "Contract of Westphalia" will be signed, and Europe will enter a period of relative peace. Big countries still want to be angry with themselves, so why not bring in an ally who will take the blame together?

The first to feel the impact of this contract was the Portuguese.

Macao.

Like a black tide of movement, a large number of Ming troops quickly marched into this peninsula located at the farthest corner of Guangdong. Ten divisions with more than 3 Ming troops and more than 100 cannons stared at them. The Portuguese governor of Macau did not dare to resist. Only a few hundred Portuguese mercenaries bowed their heads and disarmed directly, allowing the Ming army to control a series of important military positions such as the city wall, the Governor's Palace, the armory, and the port.

At the port, there are still two Portuguese galleons trying to escape from the sea. At the mouth of Zhuhai, the ten battleships of Xu Haihouzi have been there for a long time. .

"My lord general, we Frankies have always been friends with Ming. During the invasion of Ming by the northern barbarians, our Frankies also provided cannons and mercenaries, and even provided our precious ship design drawings. Are you, Ming? Is it a state of etiquette? How can you repay your kindness with revenge like this!"

Thousands of Portuguese expatriates crowded into St. Austin's Cathedral tremblingly, looking back at the cowardly look of the wimpy Governor Amarius. Archbishop Domingos stood angrily at the door of the cathedral, roaring at the leader of the army, General Daming.

How come every ghost speaks official Chinese so well!Why does every ghost have to mention the state of etiquette?Liu Zongmin, the commander of the third front army who rarely came out to lead the team once, General of the Empire, Chief of Staff Liu Zongmin curled his lips in disgust, turned around and said to the man and woman who were being surrounded by the army.

"I'm only in charge of fighting. If you have something to do, you can tell our commander!"

Then he rushed to the front, seeing Song Qingshu actually came in person, the archbishop couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and immediately rushed over sadly holding his robe.

"Your Excellency Song, Father Ben was also present when you were negotiating with Frankie. Aren't we allies? Why did Ming attack Frankie's colony?"

She deliberately turned her body to one side, showing Adelena with a bad face. Song Qingshu said with a straight face: "Off the coast of Manila, the imperial fleet captured three pirate ships, all of which belonged to you Portuguese, and you attacked them." Ming’s colonies came first, and now Ming has allied with the Spanish Empire, and Portugal is now Ming’s enemy!”

"However, considering the relationship between the Portuguese in Macau and Ming Dynasty in the past, we will not expel the Portuguese nationals, but you are under the rule of Ming Dynasty and must abide by the laws of Ming Dynasty!"

What Domingos said seemed to be struck by lightning, and it took a long time before he punched his fist on the wall angrily, and cursed.

"Vasco, the unscrupulous bastard!"

Vasco is now the Prime Minister of Portugal. He would rather scold his own Prime Minister than Daming. It seems that Daming's toughness and resentment against being an enemy of Daming have penetrated into the hearts of these Westerners. The work of regaining Macau will be completed in less than half a day Now, under the persuasion of Domingos, the Portuguese who fled into the cathedral returned to their residences and jobs in shock. How to face their bright neighbors who were bullied in the future became a headache for them. problem.

"Special Envoy Adelaine, this cabinet is already completing the covenant with the Spanish Empire very well, there is no need to be so dark, right?"

Waving his hands and looking at the Daming dragon flag raised high in front of the Governor's Mansion, and a line of soldiers mightily raising the flag to salute in the last territory of the continent occupied by Western colonists, Song Qingshu was really happy, turned his head and said to the Spanish female navy with a smile.

But Adelaine's delicate little face turned darker when she heard this, and she simply turned her head to the side angrily.

This time, in order to unite with Daming, Spain did pay a very high price. The nautical chart that first passed through the Philippines and arrived at the Strait of Magellan is a priceless treasure. A large piece of Mexico’s northern territory that is like a goat’s horn on K’s territory was ceded to Daming, which includes Later generations of the United States, including Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, and the largest state of Texas, have a total of eight states, and also obtained the Atlantic Gulf of Mexico for Daming.

Zheng Shouli, the colonial governor of the Ming army in San Francisco, did not know about it, and his jurisdiction expanded by more than 100 times.

In particular, Song Qingshu also named and asked for a small place called Panama on the South American isthmus. Although he didn't know what the use of that place was, Mingren actually extended his tentacles to South America.

In the past few days, from Songjiang to the vast Southeast Asia, the entire Ming Empire has carried out an unprecedented foreign discrimination operation. Over the past few years, there have been more than 2 Westerners in Daming, plus more than 5 Westerners in the colonies. They were all classified. The merchant ships of the Dutch, French, Denmark, Sweden and other Protestant countries were all detained, the merchants were expelled, the shops were seized, and the commercial routes to the West through the crossroads of Southeast Asia, the tickets of these countries were collected. go back.

Without such a source of income, the economies of both France and the Netherlands would suffer a severe blow.

But taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Qingshu was more enthusiastic about taking back almost all Portuguese colonies in Asia, the only one that had never declared war with Ming Dynasty, and Southeast Asia was further consolidated by him. In Adelaena's eyes, this cunning Eastern warlords, probably take advantage of more!
It's no wonder she looks good like this!
However, it is true that there is an advantage, and the Ming Empire's help to Spain is also real. After the trip to Macau, the female admiral and the special commissioner who liaised with the Ming Empire followed Song Qingshudu and returned to Taiwan.

Tainan, Neijiang.

The huge strait is almost fully occupied, densely packed with shipyards, except for Songjiang, which is already the largest shipbuilding center in Ming Dynasty, especially the Haidayu class transport ship, which is also built here, and now, there are two more Haidayu Level and more than 30 Galen battleships have set up their keels on the water and are being assembled little by little.

These ships are all orders placed by the Spaniards.

Over the years, the Spanish Armada that conquered the world was almost exhausted in the wars with the Dutch and the British. The shipyards in the port of Seville were also blocked by the British, French and Dutch fleets. As for South America, it was occupied for the purpose of plundering. The colonies in the world cannot produce first-class battleships, and the former empire on which the sun never sets is now sadly trapped near the Strait of Gibraltar.

However, among the series of treaties signed, Ming Dynasty filled this gap. Compared with Spain with only a few million people, the population of the Ming Empire and its colonies in Southeast Asia has already exceeded 30 million. There are a large number of cheap Japanese laborers and Korean laborers. In addition to the master craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, the engineers have a full 50 workers, which makes the production efficiency of this Tainan shipyard so high that it is frightening. If a transport ship of the Haidayu class is built in Spain, it will take three years, but here, only nine are needed. Month, 70 meters to [-] meters first-class battleship, Spain takes one year and four months to build, here it only takes six months
Moreover, flintlock guns, heavy ship guns, military uniforms, flags, sails, and wooden oars can all be produced by Ming Dynasty. All the Spaniards need is to bring gold and silver from South America, and then ship the navy. A considerable combat force returned to Europe and continued to compete with the Dutch for hegemony in the Atlantic Ocean.

Looking at this scene, the Spanish female navy with a rare ice face showed a smile, and Song Qingshu who was accompanying her also squinted her eyes.

Not to mention, this foreign girl still has a lot of charm when she smiles.

…………

However, when Ming Dynasty actively participated in the world disputes, the Qing Dynasty in the far north was also restless.

"Quick, hurry up, Lao Tzu!"

Amidst the violent shouting and cursing, the soldiers of the Eight Banners pulled down their whips mercilessly, and the backs of the thinly dressed Han people were torn apart in an instant, revealing streaks of blood.

During this inhuman torture, an incomparably spectacular scene appeared on the land of Liaodong. A century-old or even a thousand-year-old giant log of tens of meters was placed heavily on the trailer, and a dozen cows, donkeys and other animals were dragging forward with difficulty. And groups of ragged Han people are like animals, supporting and pushing by the side.

The transportation team has been logging from the Daxing'an Mountains all the way to the Bohai Sea. There is no head and no tail, as many as three 10,000+.

Shanhaiguan, the old leader.

The roaring Bohai Sea constantly washes against the coastline, and the sea here is still bitingly cold in March and April, but in that pond, countless Han Chinese-coated Ahas are shivering, with keels nailed to them, more than twenty The skeleton of the giant ship has already begun to take shape in this bay.

Shanhaiguan city.

"Fire!"

A guy with red hair and blue eyes roared violently, but more than 3000 braided soldiers were ordering, and neatly cut off their muskets more than one meter long.

Crackling~ The dense wooden targets in the corner were almost smashed to pieces in this devastating shooting.

In the closed building, Dorgon looked at the scene with satisfaction, and then Dorgon lowered his head again. In front of him, in the middle of a wooden sand table, on the bay, there were densely packed models of western sailing ships, and on the shore, there were cannons. The infantry, as well as the explained fortress, looked almost exactly the same as Song Qingshu's Liuleng Fort in the battle of Jiazhuang.

"Old Shisan, do you really want to believe that red-haired fan? Riding and shooting was taught to us by Lao Khan, a treasure left by our ancestors. Didn't those bright dogs back then also hold muskets and cannons, or were they still used by our Lao Khan? Khan led his men and horses into a mess?"

"These gaudy things are not for us men to play. The blue flag is facing the red flag, and the young and old are not willing at all!"

As soon as he entered the door, he breathed out a puff of white air, and Azig yelled angrily, but Dorgon didn't take his eyes off the model at all. After a while, he raised his head and turned to look at Azige who was in a state of dismay.

"Those who don't want to get rid of the flag and use it as a coat!"

Looking back at the Bannermen warriors who finished loading again in Guancheng, Dorgon's sharp eyes made Azige suddenly feel a heartfelt chill on his back.

"The Ming dog in the south has already established itself on the basis of the gaudy things you mentioned. The old fifteen, and Wu Sangui, the dog, more than 70 troops fell in the hands of the gaudy things you mentioned. Those who ride horses have already You can't beat Minggou with guns, if you don't change, those Minggou will come over sooner or later!"

"Whoever dares to stop this king from unifying the world and drinking the power of the Yangtze River, then kill him!"

Amid the murderous aura, Azig couldn't help but tremble for a while, and immediately clasped his fist helplessly.

"twitter!"

After sending him away, he turned his head and looked towards the east sea again. Through the binoculars, he saw that the people from the Central Plains were forcibly moved here, and the giant ship was made of flesh and blood. Dorgon shook his head fascinated.

"Beginning in Beihai, let's call it the Beiyang New Army!"
