Chapter 947: Second Combined European Fleet (1)

On March 29, the 25th year of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Sen and other 40 warships captured hundreds of fleets in Spain, and the Ming army on the shore finally completed the occupation of South America under the command of Yan Yingyuan, which also means that the entire North and South American continent, all the forces of the five European countries have collapsed, and the American continent has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty except for a small number of areas controlled by the Indians.

The war of the Ming Dynasty on the American continent can be divided into two phases in general.

The first stage ended with landing on the North American continent, occupying part of the Indian area, and then defeating the British, French, and Spanish alliances, and capturing the thirteen North American states of Britain.

The second truncation began from the mid-September of the 24th year of the Ming Dynasty to the beginning of the battle to capture Canada, and at this moment the Ming Dynasty Zhongxing launched the 25th March 15th, completely conquered South America, which lasted a full half a year.

The Ming Dynasty landed a total of 300,000 regular troops on the American continent, and the total amount of materials spent was sky-high, but the harvest was also rich.

The soldiers of the five countries and the total of immigrants were more than one million people were captured, and hundreds of thousands of indigenous young forces who helped the resistance of the five countries were also captured, as well as about 340,000 Kunlun slaves, not to mention these more than 2 million prisoners, the territory alone directly expanded the territory of nearly 40 million square kilometers for the Ming Dynasty, and it was worth spending more materials.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty completed the first plan for the Pacific Inland Lake, conquered the entire American continent, and the Ming Dynasty began to enter a period of digestion and recuperation, and the American continent gradually settled down.

Different from the stability after the Ming Dynasty conquered the American continent, in Europe, the news of the continuous loss of the colonies of the five countries continued to spread to Europe like a tide, indicating that the colonies of the five countries on the American continent were falling at a terrifying speed.

The whole of Europe was shaken.

Europe is separated from the Americas by the Atlantic Ocean, which is not as wide as the Pacific Ocean, but it would take at least two months to connect Europe from the American continent.

At the end of November of the 24th year of the Ming Dynasty, the news that Canada was occupied by the Ming army reached Europe, shocking the whole of France, and the French king was furious.

After the Ming army conquered Canada, they invaded Mexico, and in half a month's time, captured Mexico City, the core of Mexico, and then captured all the Mexican territories north of Mexico City, and the news reached Europe in early December.

This time, although Mexico was only a Spanish colony, unlike the original British Thirteen North American states and the last time France and Canada fell, Britain and France alone were more angry, and this time it was a shock to the whole of Europe.

The five major European sea powers did not hesitate to dispatch forces to support the Americas.

However, it didn't take long for the Ming to conquer all the Mexican territories north of Mexico City, and after only a month of silence, they continued to attack the south of Mexico City.

Including Nicaragua, Costa Rica and other places, all were captured by the Ming army.

When the news reached Europe this time, although the European countries were furious and horrified by the speed of the Ming army's attack, they expected that the five forces sent from their homeland to support the American continent should have all arrived on the American continent.

The European countries did not make any move, they were waiting for the situation when the local reinforcements arrived.

In the first month, the news that the Five-Nation Alliance Army was successfully formed and that it would fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in Panama reached Europe at this time. The 364,000-strong Five-Nation Alliance Army was a great force that excited all European countries, and they were confident that the huge Five-Power Alliance Army would be able to defeat the Ming army in Panama, and it was expected that the new year would bring them good news.

However, the strength of the Ming army seems to have far exceeded the predictions of the kings of Europe.

The situation of the decisive battle in Panama soon spread back to Europe, and the huge army of 364,000 troops of the five-nation alliance army was defeated by the Ming army of only 40,000 who attacked Panama, and four of the commanders of the five countries were either killed by the Ming army or killed by the Ming army, and only one Spanish army commander, Marquis Arretoleca, was able to escape, but the losses of the huge 5-nation alliance army of 364,000 people also exceeded 90%, and the five-nation alliance army suffered an unprecedented defeat.

As soon as the news reached Europe, European countries were not just shocked, but turned into fear in an instant.

Yes, it's fear!

The strength of the Ming army was far beyond their expectations, so that they did not even dare to directly send forces to support the American continent again, because they were no longer sure how much force they would have to send to defeat the Ming army on the American continent.

In the midst of the hesitation of various countries, after the Ming army captured Panama, it continued to move south and captured Colombia, and then large colonies such as Peru, Venezuela, and Bolivia were captured by the Ming army.

The speed at which the Ming army conquered the American continent was so fast that the European countries were completely shocked and numb, and they also hesitated to send forces to the American continent again to support.

Soon, Portugal's Brazil fell, France's Guyana, the Netherlands' Sea wax, and so on.

At this time, the kings of European countries seemed to have been able to see the result of the entire American continent being conquered by the Ming army, and sure enough, the news that Argentina, Chile and so on were also captured by the Ming army also spread to Europe.

The last news was accompanied by the withdrawal of the British, French, Dutch and Portuguese fleets from the American continent.

The day the evacuated fleets of the four nations arrived in Europe, it became clear to the kings of Europe that their colonies on the American continent were all finished.

The worst was Spain, which not only lost the most colonies, but also did not return to Europe with the fleet of the four countries. For ten days, half a month, the Spanish evacuation fleet still did not return.

What does this mean, it means that the Spanish fleet is likely to have been intercepted and annihilated by the sea power of the Ming Empire, and will never come back.

Sure enough, almost 20 days after the evacuation of the four countries and their return to Europe, a large number of broken wooden planks floating from the west coast of the Atlantic, as well as a large number of remnants of clothing of Spanish naval soldiers, etc., all mean that the Spanish fleet that had evacuated the American continent had suffered an attack and may have been completely wiped out.

The Emperor of Spain was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The kings of other European countries also had gloomy faces all day long, full of depression and sinking.

The rapid fall of the entire American continent has caused a strong chill and urgency to be felt throughout the European continent.

The kings of Europe, especially the five great sea powers of Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, which had colonies on the American continent, knew that they could not continue to be silent, or that the whole of Europe could not continue to be silent.

They had to do something!
