Philip IV was surprised to hear this, and it was a little difficult to imagine the size of the Ming fleet. At the same time, I nodded my head again and again, feeling that Cromwell's method is the only way at present. In this way, of course, it is necessary to contact the rest of Europe and unite to deal with the possible attack of the Ming Kingdom.

So, he first summoned his shipwrights chiefs to inquire about the situation, but when he received no useful answer, he was disappointed, and he had to send envoys to lobby the countries with which Spain had better relations, as was the case with the British. Try to unite other European countries in the face of a powerful enemy.

But other countries don't have much contact with the Ming Kingdom at the moment, and it is not so easy to move them to join forces to deal with the Ming Kingdom.

Cromwell also considered this situation.

No, Robert relayed Cromwell's words to Philip IV, just two words: "The Yellow Peril!" ”

Although he did not say it explicitly, Philip IV understood the meaning of these two words at once. Even after so many years, he can still remember that because the invasion of the Orientals really had too much impact on Europe.

The first Yellow Peril was in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty defeated the Northern Xiongnu and forced some of the Northern Xiongnu to move westward. The Southern Xiongnu surrendered to vassals. The Northern Xiongnu, who moved westward, were the Huns from the east in the eyes of Europeans, and continued to conquer the Germanic people and the Eastern Roman Empire, forcing the Germanic people to move south, and finally under the chain reaction, the Germanic people who moved south destroyed the Western Roman Empire.

The second Yellow Peril was in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

At that time, the Turks were divided into Eastern Turks and Western Turks, both of which were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty one after another, and some Western Turkic tribes moved westward. Among them, the conquest of the Eastern Roman Empire by the Turks who moved to Western Asia led to the Crusades, and finally the Ottoman Empire established by the Turks destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire.

The third Yellow Peril, which is also the most famous.

The Mongol Empire launched a total of three expeditions to the west, and in the course of these three expeditions, according to statistics, more than 40 countries were wiped out, a total of nearly 200 million people died (some say more than 100 million people died), and more than 700 ethnic groups were conquered along the way.

Among them, the most memorable for Europeans is the Black Death. Legend has it that it was the Mongol army that attacked the Black Sea port city of Kaffa in 1347 to introduce the plague, and then it was spread to Europe by Asian and European traders. First it spread from Italy to Western Europe, then Northern Europe, the Baltic region, Russia, and so on. At that time, more than a third of the population of Europe died.

Hundreds of years have passed since these three invasions by the Orientals, even the most recent one, but as a person in power in Europe, it is difficult to forget.

Therefore, when Philip IV heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said with joy: "Okay, this is a good idea, just use this point to say, I believe that other countries will definitely not stand by and watch again!" ”

After saying that, he was very excited again, and walked back and forth, with his head down, and could see that he was still thinking.

Sure enough, just after a while, he raised his head again, stared at Robert and said, "When the Ming army attacked, what was the shocking thing?" For example, the slaughter of cities, or the cruelty to the countries they destroyed? Lone thinks that it would be more convincing to sort out such a thing! ”

"......" Robert listened, and suddenly he was a little stupid, and for a while, he couldn't speak.

When Philip IV saw this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the Ming army is also the same as the Tatar army, so that you don't know where to start?" ”

"......" Robert listened, and continued to stare.

When Philip IV saw this, he hurriedly strode up to him, and said with a look of expectation: "Say, you have to be patient, and you will hear it." ”

When he said this, he also shouted to the guards on the side: "Quick, the transcript is ready." ”

Hearing this, Robert finally came back to his senses and said a little bitterly: "If I say that I haven't heard of the Ming army slaughtering the city, do you believe it?" ”

Upon hearing this, Philip IV suddenly showed a look of disbelief, and said a little exaggeratedly: "How is it possible? The Ming army had fought from the Far East to the Ottomans, and if they hadn't slaughtered them, they might have fought so quickly? ”

"It is true that there are murders, but all I know is that the Ming army killed the enemy when they were fighting on the battlefield." Robert shook his head and replied, "Those countries that have been destroyed are basically slaughtering their own people. If you really want to say it, maybe there are ......"

Philip IV looked incredulous, and he didn't know how many Portuguese he killed when he suppressed the Portuguese rebellion, especially in the capture of Lisbon. At this time, I finally heard Robert say yes, and he looked like he expected, and urged repeatedly: "Is there that there is, say it quickly!" ”

"I heard that every time the army captured a place, they would raid the homes of the local magnates and riches, and give half of the wealth to the poor." Robert replied, "And handing over the rich and powerful to the poor for trial, is it basically a dead word, is this considered a massacre?" ”

Hearing this, it was Philip IV's turn to be dumbfounded. He couldn't understand, how could the Ming army have such an operation?

"Therefore, every place that the Ming army hits, it is very supported by the local poor, so that they can fight to Europe so quickly!" Robert summed up bitterly.

When Philip IV heard this, he fell silent and did not speak immediately.

In his mind, he went through what Robert said, and suddenly felt that the Ming army was really very cunning, and this was completely an empty glove white wolf!

If you really don't react, according to the way the Ming army plays, maybe in many years, the whole of Europe will be prostrate at the feet of the Ming Kingdom!

Thinking so, Philip IV said with a fierce hatred: "The people of the East are a bunch of perverts, how can they share the looted goods to the poor of the enemy. In their eyes, the poor are more likely to cooperate! What the hell are they trying to do? ”

According to Robert, these people are all the targets of the Ming army's slaughter, how can he not hate!

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Robert to agree, and said categorically: "It doesn't matter, as long as this thing is true, I don't believe that other countries will not resist." Rest assured, Lone immediately sent envoys to the European countries, and Lone believed that this time, our European countries would definitely unite like never before. ”

Robert believed that. After all, the people who are in charge of every country are the local magnates and riches. The Ming army regarded them as the target of massacre, even if it was killed by the poor in the end, it would be counted on the head of the Ming army. In this way, no matter which country's kings and magnates are, for the sake of their own lives, they will choose to resist the Ming army!

He was thinking about it, and Philip IV followed up and said: "As for external propaganda, don't say that, even if the Ming army is more fierce than the Tatars, and we Europeans are not treated as human beings at all, if we don't resist the Ming army, all of Europe will be wiped out by the Ming army, and the Europeans will be extinct!" ”

This is a necessary means to demonize the Ming army. Otherwise, if the people of European countries really know the specific situation of the Ming army, maybe they will open the door to welcome the Ming army!

Thinking so, Robert immediately nodded in agreement. Then, after the two discussed the details, they unified the caliber.

Britain said so, Spain said so, as long as there are many people who say it, others will believe it if they don't believe it.

Subsequently, Philip IV began to send envoys to various European countries, plus the envoys sent by Cromwell before, and for a while, the focus of European countries began to focus on the Ming army from the Far East.

But no matter how Philip IV and others arranged, how hard they tried to persuade other countries. In the beginning, most countries, with the exception of the Netherlands, took a wait-and-see attitude.

In the eyes of most countries, Europe today is not the Middle Ages, and it will be bullied by the Orientals like in ancient times. Otherwise, how could the colonization of various countries be so smooth before?

However, they also know the fact that the Ming army is already strong. After all, Tsarist Russia was subdued by the Ming army, Persia was destroyed by the Ming army, and now even the Ottoman Empire has been attacked by the Ming army.

However, they are still far away from the Ming army, and they have not been in contact with the Ming army before, so what are they anxious about? Even if you really want to fight with the Ming army in the future, it's not that you are in a hurry first, so you should go and explore the road first!

If you can lose both, that's the best thing to do. Even if it doesn't work, it will definitely weaken the strength of the Ming army, and it will be a lot easier to go back and fight the Ming army again.

As for the fact that Spain and England explained that the military would kill the powerful and rich of various countries, even if there were, it would not be possible to kill them immediately. Let's take a look!

These things happened completely worse than Philip IV and others predicted. It can be said that it is also the most intuitive embodiment of human nature. Since it is divided into various countries, it is naturally selfish.

Whether it was the Ottomans or the Persians, they were enemies of the European countries, and they were attacked or destroyed by the Ming army, which was actually a happy thing for the European countries.

As for Tsarist Russia, European countries have never considered Tsarist Russia to be a European country, and speaking of which, it is still a descendant of the Tatars. The Ming army beat them, it was just dog eat dog!

Philip IV and Cromwell were a little disappointed after receiving the reaction of the European countries, so they became more anxious, and while they began to prepare for war, they also continued to intensify their lobbying for European countries.

For them, the more countries united, the less they could pay to defeat the Ming army.

As time passed, news of the Ming army became more known to European countries, and with the incessant lobbying of the British, Spain, and the Netherlands, some countries finally began to consider their proposals.

Because they heard that large swathes of the Ottoman Empire had been captured by the Ming army. If this development continues, the mighty Ottoman Empire is likely to be destroyed by the Ming army. In this way, the soldiers of the Ming army immediately followed really had to be inserted in front of them.

In this way, is the Ming army still far away? I guess it won't take a few years!
