For the successive arrival of the fleet, the happiest thing is actually the naval chief Zheng Chenggong of Mumbai.

All along, because of the lack of troops, he was suppressed by the combined fleet of the Netherlands and Britain, and he has always been very aggrieved. It is also for this reason that he can only watch Li Dingguo continue to make military exploits, and he Zheng Chenggong has almost no military exploits in the past few years.

But now, he is the opposite, high-spirited and very excited.

Not only have the various fleets been reinforced, but on land, the army has also begun to assemble on the Bombay side. It can be said that the hottest place in this place today is Mumbai.

Zheng Chenggong was busy, talking to the general soldiers who had already arrived, when he heard the guards rushing in and saying, "Marshal, another fleet has arrived, and the steam ironclad battleship has also arrived!" ”

As soon as he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and said to the general soldiers from all walks of life: "Everyone, go and take a look at our Ming Dynasty's military weapons!" ”

Of course, he also received a report from the palace that his father had gone to the Americas, and used ironclad warships as spearheads to defeat the Spanish fleet in the Americas and scare away pirates from European countries. From that time on, he was very eager for his naval headquarters to have the rumored ironclad battleship.

The reason why they didn't dare to fight the enemy's combined fleet before was because their sail warships were a little better than his men, and the sailors were more capable.

Naval warfare differs from land warfare in that the size of the number of fleets, although important, is not the most important. Maneuverability and firepower are the most important things. If the gap between these two areas is a bit big, it is very likely that less will win more.

But now there is no need to worry about this, not to mention, the warships gathered in Mumbai are already several times the enemy, and more importantly, there is also a "catfish" that is not afraid of fighting, whether it is in terms of ship speed or artillery range, it is much more powerful than the enemy, and can easily disrupt the enemy's arrangement. Although only one is a little less, there is a huge fleet as the base, and Zheng Chenggong's waist at this time does not know how hard it is.

After boarding the steam ironclad battleship and visiting, Zheng Chenggong was even more eager to start a battle with the enemy fleet immediately, and he must tell them to "rejoice" well. And the generals such as Punchuk, who came to visit with him, were dumbfounded in surprise.

They were ordered to exterminate and suppress the Mao thieves in the Tang and Fu countries, and went all the way south, combing from north to south like a comb, and then did not return to Delhi, but to gather in Bombay. So, I was fortunate to see the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the dense naval fleet, these "soil buns" who have seen small sailing ships in the Caspian Sea at most are already very shocked. They didn't expect that Daming would have so many warships and transport ships, which was the most they had ever seen in their lives. I didn't expect that a ship made of iron would not sink in the sea, which is really unusual.

Also, what kind of steam engine can drive such a huge thing forward through the kind of fire that cooks. In this life, my understanding of the world has really been refreshed again.

Zheng Chenggong is also rare, but in front of Punchuck and others, he is more reserved. Even on the other hand, with the mentality that I have seen more than you, I immediately said to Punchuck and others: "What is this, if the prince of the country goes to our Daming territory one day, there are many rare things there, and you can't see it." ”

As he spoke, he began to introduce Punchuck and the others to trains, cement, and other things that had emerged over the years. There were things that he had never seen because he had been ordered to come out very early, but that did not prevent him from proudly introducing them, because he had learned about them through the newspaper.

Punchuck and the others touched the side of the ironclad battleship with their hands, and listened to Zheng Chenggong's introduction, and had a yearning in their hearts that they had never had before, and for the first time they had a strong idea, they must go to the Ming Dynasty to see.

Compared with the excitement on the side of the Ming army, the Persian emperor Abbas II, who once again escaped from the ascension to heaven, was definitely not so happy. Of course, he didn't know that he could escape, but it was actually the reason why the Ming army released the water. But even so, after he went all the way deep into Persia, there were only a hundred horsemen around him, which was much worse than the last escape.

That's not all, along the way, he saw that the cities that were captured by Li Dingguo were all occupied by those untouchables, and when he saw them, he even wanted to keep them. There are more than one or two such cities, and his mood is even worse.

This is the consequence that he had to endure when he did not choose to defend back, but to attack for attack.

Along the way, he didn't dare to make a banner, but walked away in embarrassment. If you don't have anything to eat or drink, you attack those untouchables, and they all deserve to die anyway. Too many people can't beat it, but it's always okay to have fewer people.

But even so, by the time Abbas II finally arrived in a town controlled by the imperial court, there were only about 70 men with him.

It's finally safe! When Abbas II entered the city with a sigh of relief, he realized that something was wrong again with his wisdom.

Although he made a banner, he didn't feel the respect he had before. On the contrary, the magistrates mostly asked him how the war was going, saying that there were rumors in Persia that the Persian army under his command had been completely wiped out.

However, the reasons are different, and some rumors say that they were destroyed by the Ming army. There are also rumors that the Ottoman Empire has a black heart, sneaks up on the Persian army, and starts infighting.

The reason for these rumors is that the Ming army has been wreaking havoc in Persia, but Abbas II has not been seen to come back.

The wise Abbas II immediately changed his mind, and even though he looked embarrassed, he denied the fact that the army he led had been completely annihilated. Faintly feeling that the position under his ass was a little unstable, he immediately ended his rest, and instead rushed to his capital day and night.

As he expected, this time Li Dingguo's troops wreaked havoc in Persia, which dealt a very big blow to his prestige.

According to what Abbas II saw and heard along the way, especially his feelings after entering the capital, he confirmed that if the news of his total annihilation was confirmed, and the news that he had ignored Li Dingguo's subordinates also spread, I am afraid that the position of emperor would not be able to sit.

Fearing the coming tomorrow, Abbas II entered the capital, and before anyone else could figure out the situation, he set out to act with lightning speed.

He first sealed all the subordinates who fled back with him to various important positions in the army, and then personally summoned the Dutch and British mercenaries who had been invited to be stationed here, and once again made a promise to win over these mercenaries.

Once all these measures had been taken, Abbas II began to eradicate those who had problems with him. There are also those families who followed him on the expedition and suffered great losses, in order not to make them resentful, they raided their families and exterminated their clans, and they could just get a sum of money.

Abbas II didn't really want to do that, but he knew it in his heart. Two defeats, especially the total annihilation of this one, had exhausted his prestige. And his bowing to the feuding Ottoman Empire also broke the hearts of many people.

This time the entire army was annihilated, and his henchmen suffered heavy losses. If he did not reshuffle the forces in Persia, he would definitely not have a good life.

As a result, there was a bloody storm within the Persian Empire. Many people were killed, and many people realized that something was wrong and rebelled.

However, these people did not want to betray the Safavid dynasty in the first place, but they were dissatisfied with Abbas II because of his successive defeats, and at most they replaced Abbas II and had the intention of supporting someone else as the emperor of the Safavid dynasty. And many of them are hesitant to do so.

Therefore, these rebels did not have much preparation in advance, which is why Abbas II wanted to suppress all threats with the power of thunder.

Abbas II was definitely a capable monarch, otherwise he would not have been one of the few promising monarchs in the history of the Safavid dynasty. Under his iron blood, basically no rebel army can withstand his thunderous offensive.

In addition to suppressing the rebellion at home and consolidating his imperial power, Abbas II was also worried about the retaliation of the Ming army, so he began to vigorously promote the threat of the Ming army, announcing to the world that the previous Yellow Peril would come again, this is a catastrophe in Central Asia and Europe, and we must all unite to resist this catastrophe.

On the Ottoman side, he estimated that it was over, but he also sent an envoy to see the situation. On the part of the Netherlands and Britain, he also instilled his concept of the catastrophe, and also sent emissaries to European countries and the Vatican, which were originally their mortal enemies, in an attempt to persuade them to send troops together to resist the impending "Yellow Peril" and prevent the end of all countries from coming again!

………………

Abbas II's dying and struggling behavior, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew clearly. He didn't care about that.

In fact, Abbas II was right, the rise of the Ming Dynasty was clearly to compete with them for world hegemony. For these countries in Central Asia, as well as for the countries of Europe, it is a catastrophe, yes!

This time, he is deploying troops and is building momentum, which is actually preparing for a possible big war in the future.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think that just by Abbas II, those Europeans would unite and fight alongside him.

If you really want to say it, they are also mortal enemies among themselves, for those unspeakable reasons. If you really want to talk about it, Daming is more inclusive here. As long as it is under the control of the imperial power, or the secular power, anything is fine.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's own estimates, at least when Persia and Ottomans were destroyed, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be the enemy of the whole of Europe.

In this way, he can also continue to transfer troops from Daming. Speaking of which, Lu Xiangsheng is not convinced of his old age, and he has already asked for war many times. That guy is not happy to fight too much to give him a good rest!
