Vienna, the capital of Austria in later history, is also known as the "Music Capital of the World", where musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert composed countless beautiful movements, making Vienna resounding all over the world with music.

In fact, Vienna at this time was also quite famous, of course, his fame was not spread by music, and the reason why Vienna was famous at this time was because of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was once the undisputed hegemon of the entire European continent, and at its peak it included modern Germany, Austria, northern and central Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, eastern France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, covering almost half of the entire continent.

As the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, Vienna was the economic, cultural and political center of the entire European continent for a long time, and was once known as the heart of the European continent.

But the status of this heart was gone with the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War.

After the Thirty Years' War, the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III was forced to sign the Peace of Westphalia with the anti-Habsburg coalition, and the Holy Roman Empire was almost dismembered.

And in this life, because Ferdinand III's sister Princess Anna married His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the Holy Roman Empire did not fall to the bottom after receiving a large amount of weapons support from the Ming Empire.

In addition, the Ming Empire presided over the establishment of the Ming Habsburg Alliance, which helped Spain and Portugal withstand the attack of the anti-Habsburg Alliance, and at the same time fought with Tsarist Russia, which contained the main energy of the entire Anti-Habsburg Alliance, and the Holy Roman Empire was even thrown aside by the anti-Habsburg Alliance powers and never paid attention to it again.

It stands to reason that with such a good respite, the Holy Roman Empire should be able to regroup and rise again.

However, just like Ferdinand II said, Ferdinand III can only be a prosperous king, not a hero in troubled times, he is a little too kind-hearted, and he doesn't even know to take the opportunity to organize a large army to wipe out all the princes, but instead empty a few principalities to get by!

However, if he doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't do it, no, as soon as the railway of the Ming Empire was built to Vienna, the telegram from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire followed.

The content of the telegram was simple, it was to ask him how many troops he could gather in a short period of time.

Since the Holy Roman Empire is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong still has a good understanding of the current situation of the Holy Roman Empire, although he keeps providing weapon support, the current Holy Roman Empire is still the same, with many princes, and he does not bird their Emperor His Majesty at all.

If he hadn't been in a hurry to find trouble in the Netherlands, Zhu Cijiong would really have been too lazy to care about his eldest brother's, you must know that there are more than 300 princes in the Holy Roman Empire at this time, and this number alone can make people's scalps tingle, how long does it take to clean up one by one, and how much does it cost!

However, he could not do it now, because there was still a German alliance of princes between the Netherlands and Vienna, and the railroad could not be built without collecting them.

Zhu Cijiong's meaning is to ask his eldest brother to gather the army and prepare to start.

It's a pity that Ferdinand III was not a great ruler to expand his territory, and he didn't even think about cleaning up the disobedient princes under him, in short, he was not keen on war, and the Holy Roman Empire was huge, and all the troops added up to less than 300,000!

This is the result of the Ming Empire's continuous support of weapons, if it weren't for Zhu Cijiong's weapons and equipment to support him with more than 100,000 troops, he may only have more than 100,000 troops under his hands.

In fact, Ferdinand III can't be blamed for not wanting to make progress, he also has a large number of vast territories such as the Duchy of Austria, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Duchy of Silesia, and he is not a majestic lord, just managing these territories is enough for him to have a headache, where does he have time to think about cleaning up other princes.

Regarding Zhu Cijiong's telegram, he mistakenly understood that this was a request from the Ming Empire for him to send troops.

Although he is not good at governing the country, he is not a wine bag like Duke Gaston, and he still knows the situation of the entire continent.

Now, the Ming Empire is facing the dilemma of multi-front warfare.

In Tsarist Russia, more than 200,000 troops of the Ming Empire were holding the Wushan defense line, and they were also confronting the 400,000 allied forces of the anti-Habsburg coalition on the Wuhe line;

In southern Spain, the Ming Empire's 600,000 naval and land forces were holding the mouth of the Guadiana River, confronting the navies of the anti-Habsburg powers;

In southern France, the Ming Empire and the Spanish coalition were facing off against hundreds of thousands of French troops;

Moreover, the Ming Empire still has to garrison the Eurasian Canal, South Asia, the South Seas, and Siberia, and what he knows is terrifying enough.

He thinks that the Ming Empire is a little unable to hold on, and this is to ask him for help.

The Ming Empire is the pillar of the entire Ming Habsburg Union, and if it collapses, the entire Ming Habsburg Union will be finished, and he is still very clear about this.

So, he was rarely arrogant, and replied directly to Zhu Cijiong: The Holy Roman Empire can support the army of 200,000!

Only 200,000? Well, barely enough.

The Netherlands is the core of the entire anti-Habsburg alliance at this time, Zhu Cijiong naturally can't let them have a good time, and now, the Eurasian railway has been built to Vienna, no matter how much it drops, it must be repaired to give them some color to see.

At this time, the strength of the Ming Empire was indeed a little stretched, but it was not as Ferdinand III imagined that the Holy Roman Empire was needed to support, he was going to unite with the Holy Roman Empire to attack the Netherlands by land.

As for where this force came from, he had already considered that in some places, it would still be possible to squeeze out one or two legions if it was squeezed a little, and it would not be too much of a problem to gather an army of 300,000.

First of all, he sent the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard, and ordered Shi Kefa to lead his 100,000 troops directly to Kandahar by train to join the First Army of the Expeditionary Force.

He then sent a telegram to Suyman, asking him to mobilize heavy troops to garrison the border between the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Safavid Empire in order to deter the Persian Safavid Empire.

He then ordered Qin Gongming to lead the Liao army from the sea to the port of the Eurasian Railway on the Mediterranean coast, where he would assemble in Vienna.

In the end, he directly promoted Hou Shilu, the commander of the First Army of the Expeditionary Force, to the deputy marshal of the army, and ordered him to lead the First Army of the Expeditionary Force and the Second Army of the Janissary Army to Vienna to join the Dingliao Army and the 200,000 troops of the Holy Roman Empire there, launch an offensive against the princes of the German Alliance, and advance while building the railway, aiming directly at the Netherlands!
