968 World War I
Besides, after Mustafa returned to Istanbul, the Queen Mother and Ahmet were very happy when they told the situation. No matter what, he finally turned enemies into friends with the Ming Empire and became an alliance, and from then on, he was no longer afraid of the coalition forces of European countries.
So, after some discussion, they began to emphasize the positive significance of the Zhennancheng agreement across the country. Whoever wants to be dissatisfied with this agreement and question it will be dealt with as a traitor to Europe!
It won't work if you don't do this, after all, after the agreement is signed, the area east of the Black Sea Strait will be handed over to the Ming side. In addition, such a large-scale propaganda is also to let European countries know and deter them. If you want to attack the Ottoman Empire first, it is to go to war directly with the Ming Empire. Are you ready, Europeans?
On the Austrian side, the fleets of various countries were assembling here, and suddenly received news that the Ottoman Empire had a change on the border, and then I heard that the Ottoman Empire was subdued by the Ming State, ceded a large area of the country, not to mention, and acted as a minions of the Ming State. Suddenly, the countries of Europe, especially those adjacent to the Ottoman Empire, panicked.
All along, the shadow of the Ottoman Empire hung over them. Although I saw that the Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Ming army and had no power to fight back, the Ming was a more powerful country, which was not enough to prove that they could win the Ottoman Empire if they fought the Ottoman Empire.
All of a sudden, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and the Lithuanian Commonwealth all set off a chain reaction because of this incident.
While they were strengthening their war readiness, they sent people to Paris, and at the meeting they immediately changed their demands and became very tough. The allied armies of the European countries had to gather in the east to deal with the Ming army on land.
As for the Portuguese side, as long as the combined fleets of various countries can defeat the Ming fleet in Lisbon, the Ming army and the Portuguese army on land will become rootless, and there will be no climate at all.
In other words, naval battles can be fought in Lisbon, but land battles must be fought on the eastern side of Europe. It was to make another of the largest crusades and drive the Ming back to the Far East. Otherwise, they will not be able to sleep well in the eastern European countries.
As for food and grass supplies, they can provide them as much as possible in the eastern European countries, and they can also get supplies from enemy countries after entering the enemy's territory. For this reason, they also emphasized how developed agriculture is in the occupied areas of the Ming Kingdom today.
At first, of course, the Spaniards were not happy. What they want most is that they go hand in hand by land and sea, and it is best to solve the Portuguese side at once.
However, it was difficult for a Spain to resist Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and even Sweden later asked for a crusade, which changed the situation at the Paris Conference, and after the final discussion, the Spanish side was very sorry.
However, to Spain's relief, the scouts reported that the Ming fleet in Lisbon had less than three hundred warships. Most of the warships went to the Mediterranean, to join up with the Ming army on the Ottoman side.
And just like that, the countries of Europe began to mobilize again. The armies of the countries began to assemble on the French side. As for the army, they all gathered on the side of Vienna and Poland.
According to the latest results of the Paris Conference, the European countries will gather two large armies, all the way to attack the Ottomans, enter Persia, and then capture the Mughals, to complete the strategic goal of expelling and eliminating the Ming army in the south.
The other, the allied forces assembled in Poland, were to destroy the Russians and advance further east, attack the Volga valley, capture and destroy the Ming army in the Samararaburg area.
These two armies see which way is smooth, and they can go north or south to support the other way, and finally complete the division. Later, according to the results of the battle, it was evaluated to see if it was possible to take this opportunity to expedition to the Far East and capture the most prosperous places in the East.
On the sea side, after the combined fleet of various countries captured Lisbon, the fleet entered the Mediterranean again, united with the Austrian fleet, and destroyed the Ming fleet in the Mediterranean. Later, he returned to the Americas and wiped out the Ming army and the Portuguese in the Americas.
The content of the outcome of this Paris conference is quite large, and it has never been done in Europe. It is necessary to mobilize the greatest war potential in Europe, and it can be said that this is the largest duel between East and West.
For this reason, European countries not only demonized the Ming Kingdom at the aristocratic level, but also demonized the Ming army among the poor people. For the European countries, the religious factor is the best excuse. The nations of Europe, for religious reasons, fought wars with each other for thirty years, killing almost a third of the total population of Europe.
This kind of massive propaganda and collective smearing of the Ming Dynasty is naturally the most effective. All of a sudden, the Ming army became a demon king who could stop children crying in Europe, and compared to the previous Western expedition of the Mongol Empire, it made them feel terrible.
Of course, such propaganda, as well as the news of recruiting troops and coordinating the troops and materials of various countries, cannot be concealed. The news about various countries continued to reach the desk of the monarch of the Ming vassal state like snowflakes, and then spread to Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng. When they were urgently preparing for war, they also urgently urged Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou to ask for reinforcements from the mainland and send reinforcements.
On this plane, the first real world war began to brew on Earth.
Emperor Chongzhen used the eavesdropping system, although it was a matter thousands of miles away, but he also knew the latest situation at any time. Anyway, Da Ming's side is almost ready. Wait any longer, and the power of this pig-killing knife will become more and more powerful over the years.
Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, including Sun Chuanting, who heard the news and came to fight alive, are all seventy or eighty years old. As for the generals, those back then were no longer able to fight. After all, military generals are no better than civilian officials, and they have to fight in battle.
There are even military generals, who are too old and have passed away. For example, Qin Liangyu, who was originally seventy-five years old in history, because she had a lot less troubles in this plane, seeing that the Ming Dynasty was getting stronger day by day, and the people's lives were getting better and better year by year, and there were many more happy things, she lived ten years longer and died at the age of eighty-five.
If it drags on any longer, there may be more old courtiers who can't resist the pig-killing knife of the years and die. In that case, let's fight before it's too late!
It was based on this idea that Emperor Chongzhen once again announced the imperial conquest. Among the civilian and military generals who accompanied him this time, the civil officials included Sun Chuanting, and the military generals included He Renlong, Hu Dawei, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Ma Xianglin and others, plus Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Zhilong and others who were already in the west.
This time, from the emperor to the generals, all of them were middle-aged and elderly people with half-white hair, or even all-white, which made the court worried. The younger generation of courtiers came up and asked to be sent to the war.
The people also think like this, the emperor is also old, and it is impossible for the generals to rush to the battlefield again, if such an army goes out, what do young people think?
In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen made a clear decree to the world, saying that this world was the result of his efforts and the efforts of many civil and military generals. Then the last enemy of this era will also be brought to an end by me and the older generation of civilians. From now on, the earth will be the earth of the Ming Dynasty, and the earth will enter a new era. The goal of your descendants is to go further on the foundation of what he created, develop science and technology, and set the goal of reaching the sea of stars and letting human civilization enter the cosmic age.
Although it is not written in the will, it is the same meaning.
In Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, no matter how united the European countries are, they cannot be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to take these old courtiers with them. This royal expedition is more of a ceremony, a perfect end to an era.
Feeling the emperor's determination, thinking of the chaos and apocalyptic situation of the Ming Dynasty decades ago, and then thinking about today's life. The people of the Ming Dynasty all have the highest respect for the emperor and these veterans.
They couldn't change the emperor's decision, so they went up one after another to show their determination, and they would definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!
In late March of the 37th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen and the minister of civil and military affairs led 30,000 horses to the military column of the Western Expedition.
All the people stopped what they were doing at this moment and silently sent off the last expedition of the older generation. The people along the train spontaneously flocked to the side of the track to see them off, paying high tribute to the older generation: you have dedicated your life for future generations, and you have worked hard!
Well, it means that.
However, they regretted that on the train, they could only see the figures of the soldiers who went out. The emperor and those old ministers and veterans did not show up. Obviously, I'm getting old, and I'm tired from a long journey, so I'm probably resting!
Actually, they are thinking badly!
In the luxury carriage, Emperor Chongzhen invented the Three Kingdoms Killing, and his old ministers and veterans were having fun!
For others, it must be very tiring to drive so far! However, for Emperor Chongzhen, it was actually just a long journey. The decisive battle with the coalition forces of European countries is actually just a crushing of science and technology, and it is not the slightest difficulty to win!
……………………
On the European side, the infantry armies of various countries are still being assembled, and at least when 200,000 troops have been assembled, the assembly of the fleet has been completed. The fleets of various countries docked in the ports of France are densely packed like forests on the sea. The flags on the warships are varied, and it can be seen from them that it is definitely not only the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The number of warships has reached more than 1,000, and if we add the 500 warships in the Mediterranean, the scale of warships has reached more than 1,500 warships unprecedented in Europe. And the Ming warships in Lisbon are only more than 300!
