974 Reunited

Catherine listened, and couldn't figure it out.

According to Zheng Zhilong, Emperor Chongzhen must have anticipated this situation, and for this reason, he also prevented any changes on the Portuguese side. In other words, is it very certain that it will deal with the coalition forces of various European countries?

If it were a different person, Catherine would not have to think about it, and she would directly think that such an emperor was definitely a megalomaniac or a fool. However, this is what Emperor Chongzhen said.

She has lived in Daming Jingshi for so many years, and she is naturally very familiar with the deeds of Emperor Chongzhen. Since Taizu dreamed, none of Emperor Chongzhen's actions were wrong. Even if it was unbelievable at the time, for example, with only 20,000 cavalry, he drove the Mughal Dynasty in person. But in the end, it was proved that Emperor Chongzhen brought 20,000 horses was enough.

Thinking of this, Catherine couldn't help but fall into deep doubts: "Father really has such a big certainty? ”

Since nearly a century, the military strength of the European countries has become stronger and stronger, and it can be said that it has surpassed the countries of Central Asia, or rather, the vast majority of the countries of the earth. Therefore, it is just a matter of setting up a colonization company to colonize the world.

The combined military power of the European countries, that is absolutely very powerful. There are so many famous generals here, and it is impossible to make mistakes tactically.

The more Catherine thought about it, the more worried she became!

When Zheng Zhilong saw it, he smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and it is a sure thing to do." Since we don't need to do anything on our side, we just have to do what Your Majesty says. ”

Speaking of this, he accentuated his tone a little and emphasized: "You have to believe in Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen once talked to him several times, and everything revealed that Emperor Chongzhen attached the most importance to the military strength of European countries. Even at that time, when the rebellion of Jianyu was still being suppressed, the emperor had already set his goal of targeting European countries.

That is to say, with the emperor attaching such great importance to it, it is absolutely impossible to underestimate the combined strength of European countries. can give him such a will, which shows that the emperor is absolutely sure!

Although Zheng Zhilong was also a little puzzled in his heart, he still chose to believe in Emperor Chongzhen more.

………………

Compared to the Portuguese side, the Ottoman side was much more confident.

All along, the Ottoman Empire also wanted to trample European countries under its feet, but it never came to fruition. Now, they are excited to have the opportunity to trample all the countries of Europe under their feet, even if it is not dominated by the Ottomans.

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, this time I will follow the Ming Emperor to the decisive battle, as long as we contribute more, the territory to the west will definitely be able to get a large piece!" Mustafa played excitedly.

However, the Empress Dowager was still a little skeptical: "The Ming Emperor gave two months of notice in advance, so that European countries are prepared, so if the military strength of European countries is concentrated in Warsaw, can this be won?" ”

"Sure you can win!" Ahmed, who didn't speak on the side, said in a very affirmative tone at this time, "Wechen has carefully studied the previous wars of the Ming Emperor and found that the Ming Emperor likes to finish his work in one battle. Let the enemy assemble first, and then defeat the enemy. Hehe, Weichen said something disrespectful, it is estimated that the Ming Emperor is lazy, so he often uses this trick. ”

"......" the Queen Mother was speechless.

Mustafa was reminded by Ahmed like this, so he also said: "That's right, even the naval battle that took place in Lisbon, Portugal, let the European countries gather their own fleets and send them to the door, and then won't they win!" ”

"Well, I didn't expect Emperor Ming to be really powerful!" The Queen Mother listened and praised sincerely.

Although she doesn't care about the outside affairs, she is good at Gong Dou's affairs. can say what she wants to do straightforwardly, not afraid of any reaction from the opponent, and then defeat the opponent, this ability, she also has to admire.

"Queen Mother, this battle of Warsaw is crucial to whether our Ottomans can rise again." Ahmed spoke again, "Although the order from the Ming side is for us to send 50,000 troops. But Weichen thought that with a little more troops, he would be able to show more loyalty to Daming, and he could grab a little more credit, and he would be able to share a little more benefits when he turned around! ”

When the queen mother heard this, she replied to him: "These things are up to you to discuss and handle by yourself!" ”

She was expected to say that, so when Ahmed spoke, he had already made a decision. Mustafa was stationed on the western border, on the defensive. And Ahmet personally led the army, gathered 100,000 troops to go hunting in Warsaw, and obeyed the dispatch of the Ming Emperor. It also has the meaning of showing strength, at least let the Ming Emperor see that among the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire is the best eagle dog of the Ming Dynasty.

………………

This was true of the Ottoman Empire, and it was about the same on the side of Tsarist Russia. They were all cleaned up and subdued by the Ming army, and they knew the strength of the Ming army the most. Even they know how strong the countries of Europe can be together. However, their expectations of the Ming Emperor are more than their own estimates, that is, they have no way to know how strong the Ming Emperor's ability is.

The same abacus as the Ottoman Empire, thinking of getting enough benefits after the war. Tsar Alexei also did his best to recruit as many men as possible, personally led the troops, and went to Warsaw to wait for the dispatch of the Ming Emperor.

And Poland, on the other hand, is also the most unlucky.

The originally powerful Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth rebelled at home because of the constant incidents, and Tsarist Russia and Sweden took the opportunity to send troops to reap the benefits. These decades can be said to be the most unfortunate period in Poland.

Now, the Ming Emperor has even informed that he will attack Warsaw in two months. In this way, there must be a large army. On the Polish side, it is simply impossible to stop the Ming and his vassal states from attacking on the border. Even Warsaw had to rely on the armies of European countries to come to the rescue. Of course, other countries will not help Poland to defend the border, at most they will drive their troops to Warsaw and fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.

As a result, the Polish side had to abandon the area east of Warsaw, and it was impossible to defend it anyway, so it was better to empty things before the Ming army came.

For this reason, it was very smooth for the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, such as Tsarist Russia and the Ottomans, to gather troops on the Warsaw side. On the side of the European countries, they did not send troops to attack these Ming vassal states first.

In short, everyone focused on the upcoming Battle for Warsaw. All other battles were small details, and only the Battle of Warsaw was the most crucial battle that determined the outcome of the East and the West.

………………

When the European countries and the vassals of the Ming Dynasty were assembling in Warsaw, Emperor Chongzhen led the army by train and finally arrived at Mingwei Fort.

At the railway station on the side of Mingwei Fort, martial law has long been imposed, and the senior generals and local officials under the leadership of Mingwei Hou Hong Chengchou have been waiting for a long time.

With the Jinyi guard on the train getting off the train and taking over the defense of the railway station, Emperor Chongzhen finally walked out of the train car.

"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Hong Chengchou and the others were all excited. I haven't seen the emperor for years. This time, the emperor once again drove his own expedition, which was to level the whole of Europe, and from then on, the whole earth would be the only one on the earth!

Such a big event, regardless of identity, to participate in it, it is less exciting to say that it is not exciting. The earth-shattering roar is enough to show that their hearts are excited to an extreme.

After the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen walked in front of Hong Chengchou and said to him with a smile: "Who did Hong Qing bring with me this time?" ”

When Hong Chengchou, who lowered his head, heard this, he looked up, but found that behind the emperor, there was an official in a scarlet robe with a white beard, which was very familiar, but for a while, he just couldn't recognize it.

Needless to say, this person is, of course, Sun Chuanting. At this time, he was also looking at Sun Chuanting.

They were about the same age, and they all had white hair. I haven't seen it for more than 20 years, and it's really changed a lot.

I think that at the beginning, they were all middle-aged, and they heard the police information of the Beijing Division, and they were thousands of miles away.

At the beginning, the situation in Daming was really not optimistic. To tell the truth, although they are the king of the army. But at that time, they were not sure at all.

Because they finally suppressed the thieves at that time, and just wanted to take a breath, Jianyu came into the pass. With the murderous name of Jianyu, it is really not a tired division that can resist.

However, they didn't expect that this time King Qin not only surprised them, but also changed their fate from then on.

The emperor is like a different person, not only has he become responsible, but he can let them do it. even personally drove out on the expedition, and since then the Ming Dynasty has embarked on the road of no return to successive battles and victories.

With the expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the two also began to separate north and south, and it was difficult to see each other again. I didn't expect to meet again at this moment, both of them are already old men with white hair!

"Hengjiu, it's me, Bai Gu!" Sun Chuanting saw that Hong Chengchou was a little unrecognizable, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Hakutani?" With such a reminder, Hong Chengchou finally recognized it, and couldn't help but say in surprise, "It's really you!" Hehe, I'm old! ”

"No, you're old too! But I can still eat three bowls! Sun Chuanting heard this and said with a smile.

"I believe it...... It's weird! Hong Chengchou also laughed when he heard this.

At this time, he understood that at Sun Chuanting's age, the emperor still brought him here, obviously because he was nostalgic for the old, so that they could reunite with these Zhongxing ministers, and more importantly, in the last stage of his life, he could participate in the most glorious battle.

Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongzhen interject with a smile: "The army will rest in Mingwei Fort for half a month, leaving enough time for the armies of European countries to assemble, and the two Aiqing have time to talk." By the way, I also let Lu Qing go to Warsaw, and when the time comes, the three of you will be able to get together. ”
