After the capture of Ankara, in addition to capturing the Manchu Emperor Fulin and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the Ming army also captured nearly 10,000 soldiers and generals of the Manchu Eight Banners, as well as more than 200,000 ordinary Manchu people.

There were 170,000 iron cavalry in the Manchurian Eight Banners, but after many major battles, especially the rout of the decisive battle in Baghdad, when the Ming army broke through Ankara, Dolgon ordered the remaining Manchurian Eight Banners to stop resisting, and there were less than 10,000 soldiers left in the Manbaqi.

As for the 'Dragon Breaking Army', another core force of 50,000 Manchurians, it was completely wiped out at the beginning of the Ming army's breakthrough of Ankara.

Both the Manchu Eight Banners and the Dragon Breaker Army are composed of the Manchus themselves, including all the men between the ages of fourteen and sixty-five, that is to say, at this moment, there are less than 10,000 men between the ages of fourteen and sixty-five left in the entire Manchu race, and the rest are only those who are under the age of fourteen, or a few Manchu men over the age of sixty-five who are almost non-existent.

Such Manchus, even if they did not surrender to the Ming army, they did not have the strength to continue to stand tall in the world.

After more than 30 years of Dolgon's exhibition, the Manchu people had reached a total population of 1.2 million at the beginning of the war. Persia, the two river valleys, and Asia Minor were the core ruling areas of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and eighty percent of the Manchus were concentrated in this place, and the remaining two percent were concentrated in Constantinople, India, North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and other places.

Nowadays, Persia, the two river valleys, and Asia Minor have all been captured by the Ming army, annihilating two million Qing troops, and attacking Ankara to completely destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, while the Ming army has also captured nearly 800,000 Manchu people along the way.

How to deal with these Manchus, Zhu Ciji has not yet decided, captured Ankara, destroyed the Manchus, and the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty is to gradually receive the Manchu territory.

Whether it is Persia, the Two Rivers Basin, the Arabian Peninsula or North Africa, there is a huge amount of oil under the ground, which is the liquid gold of the next stage of industrial exhibition, and oil is necessary for the next stage of the industrial revolution in the future.

Even India, although there are only three or four million square kilometers, but more than half of it can be used as arable land, and later India relied on the world's largest arable land area, feeding a population not much less than that of China, and it is also an important piece of land, and annexing these places, which is also the main reason why Zhu Ci is determined to destroy the Qing Dynasty, after all, the massive resources of these places are more important than what is more important than the destruction of the Manchurians.

Immediately, Zhu Cihean ordered the troops to divide into three routes, all the way to the Aegean Sea and Constantinople, all the way to North Africa, and all the way to the Arabian Peninsula. At the same time, another Ming army, which had already gathered in Burma, was ordered to attack India from Burma.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has perished, the main force of the Qing army has been completely annihilated, and neither North Africa nor the Arabian Peninsula has the strength to resist the attack of the Ming army.

After capturing Cairo, the Ming army attacking North Africa divided into ten routes and swept west through North Africa.

On the desert steppe of North Africa, a large number ----of Ming troops rode across the desert steppes of North Africa.

"Smack! Syllable! "The local tribes that resisted were pursued by the Ming cavalry.

The cavalry of the Ming army did not stay up all night in the languages of the various ethnic groups in North Africa, only one point, anyone who dared to wave a weapon at the cavalry of the Ming army was an enemy of the Ming army, and would be ruthlessly killed by the cavalry of the Ming army.

Many tribes in North Africa, originally ruled by the Ottoman Empire, were exploited by the Ottomans every year. Later, the Manchus destroyed the Ottoman Empire, and North Africa was ruled by the Manchus, and the Manchus were even more ruthless, not only when they implemented the shaving order, they killed a large number of North African people who believed in the true gods, and later in order to resist the possible large-scale attack of the Ming army, a large number of taxes were raised, and coolies were recruited, and the various ethnic groups in North Africa were almost forced to a dead end.

Finally, the Manchus were destroyed, and the tribes of North Africa were also frightened by the rule, and they wanted independence. It is a pity that throughout history, there has been no other way for any ethnic group that wants to be independent than to succeed in armed resistance.

And the ethnic groups in North Africa, which even lack cold weapons, want to succeed in resisting the Ming army by force, it is a joke, and in exchange for the ruthless destruction of the Ming army.

The Ming army was very strong, and even one or two thousand Ming troops dared to attack a North African tribe of more than 100,000 people.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Mortar shells exploded among the resisting tribes, destroying the entire tribe.

To deal with these backward North African ethnic groups, the Ming army did not even need field artillery, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, rifles, etc., were already irresistible 'artifacts', completely crushed.

Under the sweep of the Ming army, the rebellious North African tribes were miserable, and hundreds of tribes were destroyed.

The bloody facts of the Ming army told the ethnic groups of North Africa that since they were subject to the rule of the Ottoman Empire and the Manchu Qing and could not resist, then when they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they were even more unlikely to resist, because the Ming Dynasty was more powerful than the Ottoman Empire and the Manchu Qing at the beginning.

On October 2, the Ming army captured Egypt with iron cavalry.

On October 6, the Ming army captured Libya.

On October 10, the Ming army swept through Algeria and ****** and advanced to Morocco, the westernmost point of North Africa.

Morocco is separated from the Spanish Empire in Europe by the Strait of Gibraltar, which is less than 13 kilometers wide, and from one of Morocco's northernmost hills, you can even see Spanish territory directly with a telescope.

For many years, Spain had coveted Morocco and wanted to occupy it.

As early as the time when the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ottoman Empire, Spain wanted to send troops to occupy Morocco, but it was a little hesitant at the time, and the Qing army's Manchu Eight Banners cavalry was very fast, and before the Spanish emperor made up his mind, he entered Morocco one step ahead of time, Spain lost the best opportunity, and the Spanish emperor was also afraid of the newly rising Manchu Qing, so he did not act in the end.

And this time, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Spain saw another opportunity to occupy Morocco. This time, the European countries have formed an alliance to start a war against the Ming army, Europe and the Ming are already enemies, and Spain has no concerns.

When the Ming cavalry first entered Egypt, a Spanish army of 30,000 men had already landed in Morocco and completely occupied Morocco before the Ming army advanced into Morocco.

If the Ming army wanted to occupy Morocco, there was no doubt that it had to defeat the Spanish army that occupied Morocco.

In this regard, Ji Feng, who commanded the Ming army in North Africa, did not hesitate at all.

"Boom ---" 40,000 Ming cavalry did not hesitate to cross the border between Morocco and Algeria, entered Moroccan territory, and violently attacked all the places where the Spanish army gathered, ignoring the hypocritical protests of Spain, Morocco was not originally Spanish.

The Spaniards were arrogant, with their backs to the Spanish mainland north of the Strait of Gibraltar, believing that they would be able to hold Morocco.

However, they were too arrogant and underestimated the Ming army, not realizing what kind of strength the Manchus could destroy the Ottoman Empire, and the Ming Dynasty could destroy the Manchus in two months.

The price was tragic, the number of Ming cavalry killed in Morocco was 40,000, which was even more than the 30,000 Spanish troops who occupied Morocco, not to mention the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army's advanced weapons.

The city of Rabat, the core of Morocco, guarded by 20,000 Spanish troops, was bombarded by more than 300 field artillery and more than 700 mortars of the Ming army, and it became a ruin in less than two hours.

After the Ming cavalry broke through the city, the remnants of the Spanish army continued to retreat, and soon turned into a total rout, crying and crying for their mother, fleeing to the Strait of Gibraltar in the north, hoping to escape back to Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar.

It's just that their wish could not be realized, because they could not escape the Ming army's iron cavalry, and 20,000 Spanish troops were completely annihilated.

With such rapid annihilation, the remnants of the other 10,000 Spanish troops throughout Morocco were terrified, and abandoned the city before the Ming army could reach them.

Some fled to the Strait of Gibraltar in an attempt to escape back to mainland Spain. Some fled to the Sahara Desert in the south, trying to cross the Kokand Sahara Desert and flee to Central and South Africa.

From the defeat to the complete occupation of Morocco, the Ming cavalry took only three days, and the Spanish army could not even cause any trouble to the Ming army.

It was so fast that the Spaniards, who were almost to Spain proper, did not have time to react and send reinforcements. Of course, even if the Spaniards sent additional reinforcements, I believe that they could only send food to the Ming cavalry in vain.

At the southern end of the Strait of Gibraltar is Tangier, Morocco, the closest point in Morocco to the Spanish mainland, where more than 5,000 Spanish soldiers who wanted to escape from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Spanish mainland.

It's a pity that they have just fled into Tangier, and the Ming cavalry followed closely and killed Tangier.

More than 5,000 Spanish soldiers who had just fled into Tangier were desperate, under the siege of the Ming army, they suffered heavy casualties, they could not wait for the Spanish ships to respond, nearly half of the dead and wounded, and the rest all became prisoners of the Ming army.

The Spanish soldiers who fled to the Strait of Gibraltar were completely annihilated, and the fate of the other 4,000 or so Spanish soldiers who fled to the Sahara Desert is unknown, and the Ming army occupying Morocco will not care about this.

In order to retaliate for Spain's unauthorized move to send troops to occupy Morocco, after the Ming army occupied Morocco, it concentrated all its field artillery on the coast of Tangier and attacked the Spanish fleet that wanted to meet across the sea.

The ----Strait of Gibraltar broke out in a naval battle between the Ming 6th Army and the Spanish fleet, and a huge column of sea water was blown up by the Ming army's shells, and the Spanish ships and battleships that were hit sank into the sea with thick smoke.

In the end, about thirty ordinary Spanish ships were sunk, and nine Spanish warships were sunk, so that the Spanish fleet did not dare to approach the Moroccan coast.
