Zhu Youxiao's strategy for the Kingdom of Congo was very successful, and in less than half a year, the ancient country showed good vitality, and the country's development entered the fast lane, not only with a regular army, but also stabilized the national situation, and Pedro II began to germinate the ambition of recovering lost territory and expanding abroad.

While supporting the armed army of the Kingdom of Congo, Zhu Youxiao did not relax his infiltration into other countries, and there are countries and tribes with certain strength around the Kingdom of Congo, such as the Ronda Empire in the south of it, and Kenya in the east, where there are now many tribes, although it is not a unified country, but it is also one of the birthplaces of Africans, and the Portuguese also built a castle in the coastal area there, because it belongs to the Portuguese sphere of influence, Zhu Youxiao didn't let Zhu Changhao and Chen Qingyun of the Daimyo Kingdom get involved. Of course, it's okay to sell some weapons there now.

The Ronda Empire was founded by the indigenous Ronda people, who ruled over the southern part of present-day Zaire, eastern Angola, and northwestern Zambia. In the early history of the Ronda people, there were three large families, the earliest of which was the Yala Mwaku family, when 15 Tubangu were subject to it, and the rudiments of the Ronda kingdom began to take shape.

The leader of the Yala family, Yara Naviji, is wise and resolute, and is the embodiment of a wise man in the tribe. Historically, he founded the Lunda Empire in 1630, and Ronda's territory expanded westward to the Kasai River, the upper Zambezi River and its tributary Kabangpo River in the south, and the Luwapura River in the east, becoming a great power in Central Africa. For this, he won the respect of his descendants, and his title Mwante became the title of the future king.

With the help of Zhu Changrun and Chen Liang, the current Yara Naviji replaced the primitive weapons of the tribe with advanced firing rifles and small mortars, and with these advanced weapons, coupled with his superhuman intelligence, he quickly turned the Ronda Kingdom into an empire and established a relatively regular army.

Although Yara Navigi established a regular army, it was still not a level compared with Pedro II of the Kingdom of Kongo, but he could also have the qualifications for dialogue, and under the guidance of Zhu Changrun, he formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Kongo, and reached an agreement with the German and Spanish armies in Angola, with the aim of driving out the English and French in this area, because these people would only plunder and cause disasters to the people in this area. Relatively speaking, the Germans and Spaniards did a little better, at least they hired some people to build some mines and make a little contribution to the locals. In fact, in the original history, the Spaniards were the biggest scourge in this region, but they were attacked by the Ming Dynasty army, and learned a lot from the colonization methods of the Ming Dynasty.

The cooperation of the Kingdom of Kongo, the Ronda Empire, and the Germans and Spaniards did not hide the eyes of the English and the French, and they reacted quickly. It should be said that in this era, England, France's level of science and technology and the popularization of scientific knowledge are much better than the Ming Dynasty, the corresponding English, French workshop technicians are very strong, they have developed the Ming firing pistol in a very short period of time, but also go further, the ammunition of the firing pistol is more refined, because the Ming export type of guns has been transferred to the civilian workshop for production, the production technology has not been further developed, so now the weapons used by both sides are basically at a levelIt's just that the copper-shelled bullet rifles used by the elite troops or special forces of the Spaniards and the Ronda Empire are much better than the weapons of the English and French, but they are limited to the high price and export restrictions of the Ming Dynasty, and they are very little equipped and can only be used for sniper operations with relatively high strategic value.

The factory owners in England and France got a large number of orders, and they desperately accelerated the progress of production, and in just three months, they produced more than 100,000 firing guns, and quickly equipped the domestic army, and after three months of training, more than 100,000 troops became an all-musket army, and the combat effectiveness suddenly increased a lot.

When the news reached that Germany, Spain, the Kingdom of Kongo, and the Ronda Empire were going to unite against their expedition, the kings of England and France reacted quickly, and they united Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Poland and other countries to form a multinational alliance. Perhaps it was the rapid rise of the German Confederation that made these neighboring countries feel threatened, and they quickly organized, and even the attitude of the pope, who had always supported the German Confederation, was a little hesitant, but it had not yet reached the point of turning its face, but Germany's life was soon difficult, unless it could get strong support from Spain.

Spain's support for Germany was inevitable, because it also had an enclave next to Germany, the Netherlands, where there was a strong shipbuilding industry, which was a huge force in this era, and with the ships equipped with mortars in the Ming Dynasty, the German fleet still had no problem crossing the English Channel, and basic trade could continue, but it was impossible to still have the same smooth flow as before.

The coalition of England and French soon arrived on the coast of Angola, the size of hundreds of thousands of troops in this era is still very impressive, the German army can no longer be sent here, they must ensure the safety of the homeland, but the Spanish army can still be sent, but the Spanish king Philip IV is still a little frightened, and he is not optimistic about the outcome of the war, after all, there are too many troops in England and France, but the temptation of interests is too great, He was also reluctant to completely give up the interests here, and in addition to sending 50,000 troops, he also asked Sun Yuzhi of Mingdao for help.

Sun Yuzhi naturally quickly agreed to Philip IV's request, and it was certain to help the Spanish and German allied forces, but the specific way of help was still negotiable. According to the strategy formulated by Zhu Youxiao, it is impossible for the Ming soldiers on Ming Island to appear directly on the battlefield to fight, and Zhu Youxiao does not have too many troops stationed on Ming Island, but it is still possible to send a certain number of special operations soldiers. According to Zhu Youxiao's plan, Sun Yuzhi sent some officers to the Kingdom of Congo and the Ronda Empire to command the operation, these people belong to instructors and non-commissioned officers, and are the backbone of the smallest combat unit, and also organized a certain number of special forces to fight alone, with a team of 100 people and several small detachments into the Angolan region, properly cooperate with the coalition forces to fight, and take measures of decapitation in key battles to ensure that the coalition army can win the battle, as for the general small battles, The special forces of the Ming army basically stopped participating in battles, especially those small towns, villages and towns.

The reason why we want to participate in this war and not cause too many casualties is mainly to test the new weapons and combat skills of the Ming army, and to prevent the loss of new weapons on the battlefield, because once we participate in a large-scale battle, it is possible to cause serious casualties, which is difficult to avoid the loss of weapons. This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao reminded Sun Yuzhi to participate in this war on a limited basis.

The purpose of the Ming army's participation in this war is to prepare for future wars, whether it is the European battlefield in the future, or the land battle in North America, the Ming Dynasty and these current European countries will have inevitable wars, after all, the scientific and technological culture and personal culture level of these Western European countries are higher than that of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, and they have to learn the skills and abilities of various weapons quickly, and Zhu Youxiao has to maintain a certain weapon advantage. However, Zhu Youxiao believes that when the eleven or twelve-year-old children in China grow up to adulthood, that is, in another ten or twenty years, the quality of the population of Daming will generally be much stronger than them, after all, in Daming has now begun to implement universal nine-year compulsory education, and it is compulsory, the state is responsible for all the expenses of compulsory education, including all learning utensils and lunch at noon, although the current people of Daming do not have to worry about eating, but good nutrition has not yet formed a habit, After all, it is only the last year or two that you have just reached a subsistence life, and there is still a long way to go if you want to live a prosperous life.
