Life is either wonderful or dull, since you live in this world, you should strive to make every step of your life tend to be brilliant, maybe some people are willing to be dull, and they are not very hard at struggling, so life is not very exciting.

Zhu Cijiong was like this in later generations, he was not originally such a hard-working person, but in the late Ming Dynasty, in the face of a desperate situation, he had to work hard and had to work hard.

Hard work is always rewarding, but the harvest is big and small, his luck is very good, found a group of Wenchen who are willing to do their best for the Ming Dynasty, but also found a group of generals who are willing to spill blood for the Ming Dynasty, it only took more than ten years, the situation of the Ming Dynasty was completely reversed.

It's the end of winter again, it's almost the New Year, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, it is the time of the demise of the Ming Dynasty in the history of later generations, but the seventeenth year of Chongzheng will be the time when the Ming Dynasty takes off.

After the end of the Great War in Siberia, Zhu Cijiong ordered all the Ming troops to enter a state of rest, recuperate, and prepare to embark on the journey of world hegemony, and he himself was recuperating and gaining momentum.

However, how can things in this world be as good as they should be, on this day, he was concentrating in the imperial study, practicing calligraphy, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch of Bingbi, suddenly screamed outside: "Your Majesty, General Li Mingfu, the commander of the Wuwei Army, is in an emergency." “

Wu Weijun, Li Mingfu!

Isn't he stationed in the Eurasian Canal, could it be that something happened to the Eurasian Canal?

This Eurasian Canal is very important to Da Mingke, Zhu Cijiong hurriedly put down the brush and said loudly: "Present it." “

Hearing this, Wang Chengen, who was outside, held the telegram in both hands, and bowed down to Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong took the telegram and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.

The Eurasian Canal is fine, it is the allies who have an accident.

This telegram was not sent by Li Mingfu, but was forwarded by someone else.

The telegram is simple:

The last general Li Mingfu played the emperor, the Portuguese Prime Minister Svera asked for help, and the countries of the anti-Habsburg alliance suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Portuguese Gold Coast and the Viceroyalty of Brazil, the situation was extremely urgent, and the Ming Empire was asked to send troops to rescue.

The anti-Habsburg coalition chose to do it at this time, and it was against the overseas colonies of Portugal!

Damn, can't these guys stop and let people take a breath?

He didn't even need to ask, Portugal would definitely not be able to withstand the siege of the powers, and it was said that it was a siege, and Portugal would not be an opponent if any of the powers went up alone.

This ally must be saved, their overseas colonies are outrageous at this time, if they are allowed to snatch it away, within a few years, the great powers will be able to use the resources of the colonies to catch up with the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, it will be a fierce war again and again.

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, and then immediately issued an order: "The telegram ordered Li Mingfu to understand the details clearly, and ordered the generalissimo of the navy Zheng Chenggong, deputy marshals Huang Long and Zheng Zhihu to come to the capital to discuss matters quickly." “

When Wang Chengen heard this, he obeyed the order, and then bowed down and retreated.

As soon as Wang Chengen left, Zhu Cijiong crumpled the manuscript paper on the table and threw it into the paper basket, and then turned around and took out the latest world map and looked at it carefully.

He saw that it was less than a stick of incense, and Wang Chengen screamed outside: "Your Majesty, General Li Mingfu, the commander of the Wuwei Army, is in an emergency. “

Is there news so soon? Zhu Cijiong was thinking about how to deploy troops, and he needed to understand the specific situation of the Portuguese colony, so he couldn't wait to say, "Quickly, submit it." “

Hearing this, Wang Chengen outside held the telegram with both hands again, and bowed down to Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong took the telegram and looked at it, and his face changed again.

This time, there is not only Li Mingfu's return, but also Spain's distress message.

Although the message was only a few sentences, it contained a lot of information, and Li Mingfu's reply was as follows:

Back to the emperor, according to the Portuguese Prime Minister Svera, the attack on the Gold Coast was the Franco-Dutch coalition army, and the attack on the Brazilian Viceroyalty was the British, Danish, and Swedish coalition forces, and the specific strength of the troops is unknown, because most of the sea area has been blockaded by the anti-Habsburg alliance countries.

In addition, the envoy of the king of Spain was ordered to come to ask for help, and the countries of the anti-Habsburg alliance suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru and the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Zhu Cijiong knew that the so-called Viceroyalty of Peru was all of South America except Brazil, while the Viceroyalty of New Spain included Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean islands, that is, all of Spain's colonies were attacked by the powers of the Fahabsburg League.

Was this anti-Habsburg coalition going to start a world war? Except for the newly defeated Tsarist Russia, all other countries were dispatched, except for South Asia, where they were beyond their reach, and almost all the overseas colonies of Spain and Portugal were attacked by them!

This is obviously an all-out counterattack by the anti-Habsburg coalition, and the timing they chose is just right, because at this time Siberia is already in a land of ice and snow, and the Eurasian railway is still only built into the territory of the Ottoman Empire, which means that it is difficult for the Ming to mobilize a large army to attack them on land, and if they want to fight, they can only fight at sea.

How strong is the naval strength of the anti-Habsburg coalition now? Zhu Cijiong really doesn't know that the Ming Dynasty's forces have not yet penetrated into the waters of Northern Europe, and several allies on the European continent are now basically pressed by the anti-Habsburg alliance.

The so-called "know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." After thinking about it, he said to Wang Chengen: "Call back, ask Spain and Portugal to report the naval damage, and at the same time find a way to find out the specific situation of the enemy, in addition, tell them that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty will soon arrive in the Eurasian Canal." “

Now it seems that the only way to hold the Eurasian Canal and the Mediterranean Sea is to defend it first, as for the colonies of Spain and Portugal in Africa and the Americas, it can only depend on the situation, if the enemy's navy is not very strong, the Ming Dynasty will naturally help them defend or take it back, if the enemy's navy is very strong, then it is another matter.

Wang Chengen went as ordered, Zhu Cijiong thought for a while and shouted to the door: "Cao Huachun." “

Cao Huachun was still loyal to his duties, standing at the door, he immediately bowed in when he heard the sound, and saluted: "Weichen is here." “

Zhu Cijiong immediately said loudly: "Immediately send someone to inform Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and ask him to come to see him quickly." “

Cao Huachun said yes and respectfully withdrew.

Zhu Cijiong recruited Sun Yuanhua to come, mainly to learn about the situation of the major fleets of the navy, although he did not order the transfer of any fleet, but he is not very clear about the situation of some fleets, such as the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, because the deployment of the Siberian Plain has not yet been in place, Zhu Cijiong did not order the evacuation of the two fleets, and now it is cold and snowy over there, what is the situation of those two fleets, can they be transferred back?

For example, where the fleet is replenished and where it rests, he does not care about these specific things, and the military department is responsible for all of them.
