Chapter 399: Siege of the Danish Crown
……
At the same time, the northern battlefield of the Chinese Empire was also gradually advancing.
In the northern battlefield of the Chinese Empire, the generals of Luozhou led by An Xuya, the generalissimo of Beihai, led the soldiers of Luozhou to march towards the Sami Kingdom.
Now that the soldiers led by Anxuya have pacified the great chiefdoms in Finland, Anxuya's army is about to arrive in the territory of the northern Sami Kingdom.
In addition, there was another group of people in the northern battlefield, and this group of people was the fleet of the Northern Army led by Zhao Yuanan, the general of the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expeditionary Fleet has surrounded Copenhagen, the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark on the island of Zealand, and the Danes living on Zealand cannot leave the island at all.
Zhao Yuanan, the general of the expedition to the north, did not immediately send troops to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark on the island of Zealand, he just chose to surround the island of Zealand and the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark.
During this time, fleets from other parts of the Kingdom of Denmark visited the vicinity of Zealand several times, but without exception these fleets were directly hit and sunk by the Northern Expeditionary Fleet.
Today, the waters around Zealand are the graveyard of the Norse fleets of the North, and the wrecks of the Danes, Norwegians and Swedes fleets drift in the waters around Zealand.
Today, the islands of Zealand and Copenhagen, the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark, are running out of food, and the locals are much more hungry.
The local food was no longer enough to supply the people and soldiers of the city, so they had to give priority to the local noble officials and members of the royal family.
But even so, the local aristocratic officials and members of the royal family still did not have enough to eat and drink.
But Zhao Yuanan, the general of Zhengbei, still did not choose to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark, Zhao Yuanan was waiting, he was waiting for the people in the Danish capital to fight to the death.
Zhao Yuanan clearly knew that as long as the Danes in the city fought to the death, then the next time was for the Northern Army to attack Copenhagen.
Because of this, even though the soldiers of the whole army kept petitioning Zhao Yuanan to attack Copenhagen City, Zhao Yuanan still did not move.
Zhao Yuanan's heart was not in the small city of Copenhagen in front of him, he wanted to wait until the army broke through the city of Copenhagen and quickly sent troops to take the entire territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
After the surrender of the Kingdom of Denmark, Zhao Yuanan will lead a large army north to attack the Kingdom of Norway.
That's right, for Zhao Yuanan, the Kingdom of Denmark is already in his pocket.
Zhao Yuanan calmly set up camp outside Copenhagen and waited for the time to come, he could wait for one day, two days, three days, or even ten days and half a month.
The marching speed of the Northern Fleet under Zhao Yuan'an was much faster than that of the Luozhou army under the command of Beihai Generalissimo An Xuya.
After all, although the north is cold, it is not so unbearable for the Chinese Empire.
Even if the sky had already fallen with goose feathers and heavy snow, Zhao Yuanan and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were still able to maintain their combat effectiveness.
The Chinese Empire is located in a cold place, of course, this cold is only relative.
After all, most of Zhao Yuanan and his soldiers were born in Wanzhou of the Chinese Empire, and the climate of Wanzhou in the Chinese Empire was not as cold as that of Luozhou and Luzhou.
But so what, the physical fitness of the people of the Chinese Empire is good! Especially the physical fitness of people in Wanzhou.
That is to say, the physical fitness of the soldiers of the Northern Army is better than that of the people of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Norway, the Swedish States, the Kingdom of Sami and even the rest of the known world.
Physical fitness may seem illusory, but it's actually true.
To give a simple example, why the physical fitness of the agrarian civilization is better than that of the nomadic civilization is very simple, because the agrarian civilization eats better than the nomadic civilization.
This is why the people of the farming civilization are taller than the herdsmen of the nomadic civilization, and the people of the farming civilization live longer than the nomadic civilization.
This is because the physical fitness of agrarian civilization is greater than that of nomadic civilization.
Just like when the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, it was said that one Han enemy was Wuhu, why did they say this, it was because the physical fitness of the Liang family of the Han Dynasty was better than that of the Huns.
The height is also taller than the height of the Huns, and it is more burly, and coupled with the suppression of equipment, it is strange that you can't win when you understand the way of fighting in the steppe.
The height of the herdsmen on the steppe has never been taller than that of the farming civilization since ancient times, and the lifespan is not as long as the farming civilization.
The reason why the Chinese Empire was able to rise rapidly, in addition to the background of the first emperor period, the biggest reason was that the physical fitness of the Wanzhou people in the Chinese Empire was higher than that of people from other countries and tribes.
One person can beat two or three people from those tribes, which is to put it bluntly, because of physical fitness.
If your physical fitness is not qualified, even if you are given the most elite equipment of the Chinese Empire, it is impossible for you to defeat the soldiers of the Chinese Empire.
Just like Zhao Yunan, the general of the Chinese Empire's expedition to the north, led the crowd to surround the Danish Kingdom, it is not that Zhao Yuanan cannot defeat them in the heyday of the Danish Kingdom.
It's that Zhao Yuanan thinks that there is no need for this at all, if it is a head-to-head confrontation with the army of the Kingdom of Denmark, unless Zhao Yuanan has a problem with his brain.
Obviously, you can save strength, but you have to be tough, isn't this a brain problem, what else can it be? Unless you can do absolute crushing, who will go hard.
Although the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army under the command of Zhao Yuanan can defeat the army of the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark, this does not mean that Zhao Yuanan still has the strength to go north after defeating the army of the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark and conquering the Kingdom of Denmark.
To maximize benefits, Zhao Yuan'an's choice to besiege the city is undoubtedly the best.
After all, the Chinese Empire can't say everything, but the Chinese Empire is not short of food.
Not to mention that the siege has been ten days and half a month, even if the siege has been for a few years, judging from the grain of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire is still capable of supporting it.
However, the Kingdom of Denmark is different, and the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark is now surrounded by both land and sea of the Northern Army.
They don't have the opportunity to come out and collect food or buy food.
What's more, before the Danish Kingdom confronted the Chinese Empire, some of their grain was also imported from the Chinese Empire.
Otherwise, with the food of the Kingdom of Denmark itself, I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the food needs of their entire territory!
Time passed day by day, and the people of the Kingdom of Denmark became thinner and thinner, and during this time, the King of the Kingdom of Denmark, "Snake-Eyed" Sigdel. Knutlin organized several counterattacks.
But without exception, the Danish king "Snake Eyes" Sigdel. All counterattacks organized by Knutlin were in vain.
The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army completely ignored the Danish king's counterattack, and most of these troops were captured by the Northern Expeditionary Army after they went out.
It is worth mentioning that these captured troops originally planned to send them back, but he didn't expect them to be unwilling to go back.
……
Zhao Yuanan also expressed ridicule at this, and Zhao Yuanan naturally knew the reason why these army soldiers were unwilling to go back.
After all, after these soldiers became prisoners of the Northern Army, they had a much better time than they did in the city.
These soldiers were not to mention that they were full in the city, and it was difficult to even drink some soup, and most of the time they drank some light porridge.
There was not much food in the porridge, and they could only eat two to three points full at most, but in the Northern Army, they could actually eat five points full.
That's it, how could they want to go back, they were all captured anyway, so it's better to leave it at that!
This was the inner thoughts of the captured soldiers of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Of course, not all of these captives were left by the Northern Army, and the Northern Army transported these prisoners back to China.
Although the Chinese Empire is now fighting abroad, the country is developing in an orderly manner, and there is a shortage of people in the country to build.
These prisoners of war were replenished to the country, contributing to the prosperity of the Chinese Empire.
Of course, even in the Chinese Empire, although the Chinese Empire did not pay these captives, it had enough food.
As much as you want to eat, the Chinese Empire will give you as much as you want, and the country is not afraid of this group of people mutiny, after all, the police and local armies everywhere are not dry food.
Of course, this group of people did not mutiny, and their daily life in the Chinese Empire was to get up, eat, work, eat, work, eat, work, work, and sleep.
This kind of life is a dream for these people who live in the difficult areas of the north, they don't want to have money, they just want to eat enough and sleep warmly.
Although they live in a modern dormitory, it is at least warm!
I have to say that after a full meal, the body bones will indeed be warmer, and the clothes will be distributed by the Chinese Empire. Anyway, the cloth for these people's clothes is the most durable and practical fabric.
Gradually, the prisoners of war who were transported back to the Chinese Empire were gradually assimilated, and they worked in their spare time, and there were people who would hand over their Chinese language and Chinese script.
Most of these people were Taoist clergy under Song Jue, the national teacher of the Chinese Empire.
It didn't take long for these people to start tying their hair to the right side, and they looked a little different from the front teeth of the people of the Chinese Empire.
After all, the Chinese language of the people of the Chinese Empire is better than these people.
However, the people of the Chinese Empire still tried their best to learn the Chinese language, and the Chinese Empire promulgated a policy that the state would reward the people who were qualified with the Chinese language a small gift (such as a kilogram of meat) every year. )
Although these small gifts are not very valuable, the people also have the enthusiasm to learn the Chinese language, after all, they are given for free.
If you can't get it yourself, isn't it a loss, and if you lose it, you may be ridiculed by your neighbors in the township.
It is precisely because of the enthusiasm of the people that the Chinese language of the people of the Chinese Empire is getting better and better.
The Chinese language of the Chinese Empire has pinyin, and how to read it is easy to learn.
The purpose of the Chinese Empire is very simple, that is, to build all the people of the Chinese Empire into a nation as a whole.
