Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 921 Twenty-National Allied Forces (Part [-])
Faced with Alexi I's question, the Dutch envoy smiled and asked him to find the answer in his imagination.Anyway, on behalf of the Dutch government, he expressed his disapproval of the joint use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, saying that this is an unconquerable nation.

Including Alexie, the envoys of the other 19 countries sneered at the Dutch envoys, and some even ridiculed that the Netherlands was scared of being beaten by the Ming Dynasty.The reason why they cared so much about the Netherlands was because the Netherlands was considered a world power at the time. The nickname of the coachman at sea was not for nothing. With the participation of such a country, it would be different without the participation of such a country. .

But no matter how many words you have, I just stand still.

At this meeting, the Dutch Minister performed very well.Although in the eyes of other countries, it is very unbearable.It was only later that they realized that the Dutch envoy and his Dutch king were both wise. Now, facing everyone's expectations and radical French ridicule, the Dutch envoy just smiled generously, shook his head, and blatantly withdrew from the 21 Congress.

It's nothing to go to Holland.There are still so many countries, as long as there are Britain and France, the tsarist monarch Alexei has a bottom line in his heart.

Because the reputation of Cromwell, the ruler of Britain at that time, had already spread.

In addition, France has also produced several remarkable personalities.This is Louis XIV, who reigned for 72 years and was one of the most important kings in French history. He established an absolute monarchy and fought three major wars, making France the most powerful country in Europe.

However, Louis XIV was still a 13-year-old boy at the time, and the power of France was still in the hands of his mother.

Her mother, Anna of Austria, was one of the most outstanding women in Europe in the 17th century, and she was the regent of France. She was co-regent with Mazarin, an Italian who was Anna's old lover and the prime minister godfather of Louis XIV.

Not only did the two cooperate well in bed, but they were also perfect in politics. They suppressed the people's resistance internally, healed the wounds of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, defeated the Fronde, united with Britain externally, and opposed Spain. Base.

Alexey certainly knew of their reputation and was happy to work with such illustrious figures.

Soon, under the initiative of Tsarist Russia, Britain, France and others.With the unanimous response of the ministers of the other dozen countries, the coalition of 20 European countries was established.

This powerful military organization assembled 40 troops in just one month. With 40 horses, the host, Tsarist Russia, has the largest number of people, with more than 10 people.

The second is the British army, which exceeded 6.Then came the French army with 5 troops. The combined army of these three countries exceeded 22, and the remaining 17 countries organized 18 troops.

These 40 troops not only represent the strongest power in Europe, but also represent the strongest military power group in the world.

After public recommendation and humility, the commander-in-chief of the 40 troops is the British Lord Protector Cromwell, and the deputy commander-in-chief is the prime minister in power of France, that is, Massa, the old lover of Austrian Anna, the regent mother of Louis XIV of France. Forest.

Alexei I became the general adviser of the coalition army, the chief of the army and logistics equipment and supplies.

The 20 countries can't just send troops, but also have to pay for food, guns and equipment, because wars are fought with money, and without money, they don't even have the capital to fight.

Fortunately, the leaders of these 20 countries are representatives of landlords and businessmen. They exploit and squeeze internally, and extort externally. As long as they can get money, they will do anything. They are all bulging, and this little money is still affordable.

And once they formed an alliance, they stopped fighting each other.It turns out that not only the United Kingdom, France and Tsarist Russia are not convinced by each other, but the rest of the dozen or so countries are struggling with each other. Today you hit me, tomorrow I hit you, today I will be with you, and tomorrow I will be with him again. The reason It was you who betrayed me, cheated each other, and made trouble, and now you are fine, and you are all good buddies again.

When the 40 troops gathered on the outskirts of Moscow at night, the time had come to mid-June in 1651 AD, which was the seventh year of Hongguang.

At this time, the front of Zhu Yousong's expeditionary force had reached Nizhny Novgorod, 400 kilometers away from Moscow.

The situation was already quite critical, and Collenville and Mazarin commanded the coalition forces to advance by land and water and left Moscow.

The 40 coalition forces have 8 sailors, and thousands of advanced warships such as Spain, Britain, and France. The 10,000 navy enters the Volga River from the Moskva River and the Yauza River, and then advances eastward. Another fleet sails from the upper reaches of the Dnieper River. Go south and cooperate with the troops on land to complete the encirclement of the [-]+ expeditionary force of the Ming Dynasty.

半个月后，也就是到了6月底7月初的时候，欧洲32万盟军与大明10,000+远征军在莫斯科东部500里的丘巴罗沃州遭遇。

There, Cromwell formed a powerful artillery position. European artillery vehicles were arranged in three rows according to the terrain. Each row had more than 100 vehicles. The artillery front of the ground.

Behind the 14 artillery regiment, there is a [-] powerful cavalry regiment, also arranged in an arc.In other words, Cromwell invested [-] troops in this blocking position.

Cromwell's posture was obviously defensive, a posture of putting all his eggs in one basket and fighting to the death. On the surface, it was like this, but in reality it was not.

Because the terrain in this area has hills, basins, jungles, and ravines, but there are no mountains, but such terrain and landforms can already arrange ambushes.

The remaining more than 20 main forces are ambushed nearby in a finished shape, and there are main streams and tributaries of the Don River, Dnieper River, Volga River, etc. nearby, which provide conditions for the navy to enter here.

In short, on this land with a radius of one or two hundred miles, 40 allied troops have prepared battlefield traps for the Ming army, and are waiting for the Ming army to drill here.

At this time, more than 14 miles away from the Allied Army's position was the camp of the Ming Expeditionary Army.The expeditionary force commanded by Zhang Xianzhong, together with the naval division, the special warfare barracks, and Zhu Yousong's imperial camp, has a total strength of about [-] troops.

From the perspective of the strength of the two sides alone, it can be described as a disparity in numbers.

However, Zhu Yousong is also full of confidence in this battle. The morale of the Ming Expeditionary Army is high, so what if the European powers form a group?It has long been united and strategized. The spies of the Ming army, together with Jin Yiwei, have provided Zhu Yousong with detailed information about the enemy.

After discussing with Song Xiance and Zhang Xianzhong, facing a strong enemy, Zhu Yousong already has a strategy to defeat the enemy. This battle is very important. If he can win, not only the war in Tsarist Russia is over, but also the whole of Europe can be settled.

Therefore, in the imperial tent, Zhu Yousong repeatedly planned every detail of this battle.
