As soon as he entered the hall and saw Charles I for the first time, Weddell even saluted perfunctorily, and then hurriedly said: "Your Highness, something big has happened, good news, good news!" ”

Charles I was confused, what happened, is it good news?

He also saw that Weddell was so excited, and estimated that things were indeed very big. Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal, tell me quickly!" ”

"Your Highness, the latest news, the Ming Kingdom has captured Colombo and Goa of the Portuguese, and the Portuguese there have hardly escaped much, and all of them have been annihilated by the Ming Kingdom!" Weddell said excitedly, "The Portuguese have suffered heavy losses, and they have been taught a hard lesson by the Ming Kingdom again!" ”

When Charles I heard this, there was a hint of surprise on his face, he sent someone to contact him before, and the Portuguese perfunctory him, now it's okay, let's learn a lesson!

Weddell noticed the change in Charles I's face and continued: "But the governor of Colombo, Shwila, has escaped. He had been in the Ming Kingdom before and knew the reality of the Ming Kingdom. Now this time he was taught a lesson again, after he returned to China, he tried his best to promote the strength of the Ming Kingdom, and said that the current Ming Kingdom is not ambitious, and I am afraid that Europe will come over. He also said that today's Ming Kingdom is more powerful than the steppe barbarians hundreds of years ago, and if they don't unite against the Ming Kingdom, then Europe will become a vassal state of the Ming Kingdom! ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Charles I and felt that Charles I should be even happier, because with Schvera's propaganda, Britain's plan to unite European countries against Ming would be easier to implement.

However, he found that Charles I's face was a little pale. Suddenly, he understood that Charles I must have been frightened.

Sure enough, I heard Charles I ask in a low voice: "Is that eastern power really so powerful, even more powerful than the previous Mongol Tatars?" ”

"Your Highness, the Mongolian Tartars don't have sail warships like the sea!" Weddell didn't want to lie, but said it matter-of-factly.

As soon as he heard this, Charles I's face turned pale again, if it was the former Mongol Tatars, they didn't have ships, and Britain at least didn't have to worry. Now that the big country in the East has countless sail warships, doesn't that mean that Britain is also in danger?

In the past, he wanted to unite the European countries against the eastern powers, and more wanted to force the eastern powers to submit and provide as many goods as Europe demanded. But at this time, what he thought of was that the Ming Kingdom was too strong, and it was the European countries that formed an alliance to protect themselves!

However, Charles I still couldn't believe that the great power in the East had such a strong strength! However, Weddell is a captain of the great powers of the East, so the likelihood of lying in this regard is low. And the eastern powers captured Colombo and Goa by sail warships, just as they went to the East.

Thinking so, he found a possibility, and wanted to comfort himself, so he asked Weddell: "Then the army of the Ming Kingdom should not be good, right?" At least weaker than the previous Mongol Tatars, right? Right? ”

Looking at Charles I's expectant eyes, Weddell couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but still replied honestly: "If it was before, I might not be able to answer this question." But this time I came back with two messages. One piece of news, which I have just said, and another piece of news, which is just enough to answer this question of His Highness. ”

As soon as he heard this, Charles I's heart "chuckled", and he felt a little bad, and hurriedly asked, "What is the news?" Come on! ”

Weddell didn't take it, but immediately replied: "I heard that the Ming Kingdom was on the side of Tsarist Russia, and with only 800 horsemen, the Mongol Tartars who killed more than 10,000 years ago were defeated, and the entire clan was wiped out!" ”

......Hearing this, Charles I was speechless in shock, and did not react. Only 800 horsemen, killed the previous tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars? This...... How is this possible!

After a long pause, Charles I suddenly heard something, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, you heard?" I heard that this thing must be inaccurate, how can it be eight hundred against tens of thousands, and the other party can still be wiped out, even if it is tens of thousands of pigs, let eight hundred people kill, then it will be enough to kill, let alone tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars! ”

"Your Highness, I think nine times out of ten this thing is true!" Weddell poured a basin of cold water on Charles I, "This news has spread with a nose and eyes." The leader of the 800 horsemen was still a seventeen-year-old boy named Dingguo Li. On the Tsarist side, they were already very nervous, and they had sent envoys to Poland, Sweden, etc., willing to cede the territory and ask these countries to send reinforcements to resist the invasion of the Ming Kingdom. ”

At this time, Tsarist Russia was not strong, and it was all bullied by Poland. Therefore, Charles I did not feel much horror. However, no matter what, since this has happened, it shows that the army of the Ming Kingdom is indeed very strong!

He went through his mind for a while, and found that the power of the big country in the east had expanded a lot. On the edge of the sea, it can be regarded as having passed the line of Goa and the Lion Country, and will soon reach the Middle East. And on land, it is about to fight to Tsarist Russia, which is really worthy of being a big country in the East, and has enough manpower to do comprehensive expansion.

Weddell saw that Charles I was in a daze, he didn't care, and continued to play: "Your Highness, I thought the previous decision to unite European countries against the Ming Kingdom was correct!" Now the Portuguese and the Dutch should have no problem, and they will definitely be able to agree to our proposal to form an alliance against the Ming Kingdom. Other countries, I think we can send more people to talk about it, and there should be some countries that will agree to join. When the time comes, all the European countries from the north to Tsarist Russia will unite, and I believe that they will definitely be able to fight the Ming Kingdom back! ”

As soon as Charles I was told by him, he came back to his senses, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, if you send an envoy again, you must unite as many countries as possible to deal with that eastern power together!" No matter what enmity and resentment there are between our European countries, now that the big countries in the East want to fight, they must let go of it first, and everything will be defended against foreign enemies! ”

Weddell nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness still has a long-term vision, and I will definitely work hard to promote this matter!" ”

After saying that, he asked for help again, and without tireless work, he didn't even return home, and went to the other side of the strait again.

At this time, the affairs of the great powers of the East, which had already circulated among the upper echelons of European countries, showed different concerns and worries. As far as the majority of the common people are concerned, there is concern among the Portuguese and Dutch, who have suffered heavy losses. While they are curious about the mysterious eastern powers, they are also afraid.

Under the leadership of the British, when the alliance was still in the alliance, on May 1 of the 11th year of Chongzhen, where the province of heaven was located, 100,000 troops swore to go out to fight against Tsarist Russia for the previous blood debt. The main officers and soldiers of the Ming army were mainly the Oirat tribes, and the Han army was the deputy. The commander is Yang Sichang, the governor of Tianprovince, and the leader of the army will be the loyal and brave Bomangui, with 30,000 cavalry as the main vanguard; And Ming Weibo Li Dingguo led 10,000 cavalry troops, as the flank forward, and Man Gui was one and the same, cooperating with each other to open the way for the army.

It is worth mentioning that Li Dingguo's subordinates, as well as an acquaintance of his, is a tiger Li Guo. He didn't expect that after so many years, Li Dingguo would become his superior, which made him feel a little crazy. Hold back your strength, you must prove yourself in this battle.

When they were heading to the far west, the base in the Americas, far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the Daming camp where San Francisco was later located, was also swearing to go on an expedition. Their target is Mexico City. This time, it was a joint operation of the navy and the army. The Navy was responsible for transporting the land to Mexico City, and after the defeat, it was headed for the Gulf of Mexico. The Ming navy continued south, preparing to go to Panama and take control there.

Both places, one might even say a large part of Central America to South America, were controlled by the Spaniards. The places where the Ming navy and land forces were to attack this time, namely Mexico City and Panama City, were also colonies of the Spaniards.

Before the Ming army set out, there was another small detachment of two boats, which had already set off first. This convoy did not sail directly to Mexico City, but docked in advance, and about 300 marines went ashore and dived into the forest.

In this advance team, there are two people who are familiar with the way, they are Wei Siming and Liu Lao. They were originally going to return to Daming last year like everyone else. But when he heard that the army was preparing to attack Mexico and could no longer let Liu Xiang run, he took the initiative to stay and said that he would cooperate with the army.

This time, the two of them made a difference.

After lurking in the suburbs of Mexico, Wei Siming and Liu Lao acted according to the plan and completed the task of this team.

The best building in the Chinatown in Mexico City was originally Liu Lao's home, but it had been occupied by Liu Xiang and others at this time. And not only that, he also sent his men at both ends of the Chinese street, for the Ming people who came back from going out to work, they had to search their bodies, and they would basically not give you a few left in a day's wages; As for the shops in Chinatown, they have to pay a fixed amount every day, and if they don't pay, they will be called.

Anyway, today's Ming people are miserable, and some Ming people not only can't save a penny anymore, but even have to borrow money to worship Liu Xiang's bandit group, otherwise, they won't be able to live.

It's also funny to say, being by Liu Xiang like this, the Ming people who could have been lazy could have thought about working for five or six days and resting at home for a day are all impossible, and they have to get up early and work hard every day.

And Liu Xiang and his group, not only paid the taxes on time and in full for the Spaniards, but also gave a large sum of money to the Spanish governor alone.

Under their high pressure, it is not that no one has thought of resisting. But Liu Xiang and others said that if anyone is disobedient, they will end up like Wei Siming and them, even if they escape farther, he has already sent someone to arrest them, and they will hang them on the seaside, just under the sun, starving to death and dying of thirst.

A group of courageous people all ended up like Wei Siming and others, and later they wanted to fight hard, only a few, they really couldn't survive, but they were soon suppressed by Liu Xiang and others, and the methods were still very cruel. Therefore, the Ming people in Mexico City dared to be angry with Liu Xiang and others, but they hated Liu Xiang to death, but for the sake of his wife and children, he had to listen to Liu Xiang's words.

On this day, Liu Xiang and his group were gambling in Liu Lao's house, and there were a few Ming women on the side, having a lot of fun, shouting, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

But at this moment, suddenly a pirate hurriedly ran in and shouted: "The big boss, it's not good, the big boss, it's not good......"

Liu Xiangzheng lost several times, and when he heard it, he immediately became angry, and immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Don't play, don't play, what are the ghosts yelling, what's wrong, it's impossible for the Ming army to suddenly come over, right?" ”

As soon as he said something in passing, the audience was immediately silent, as if someone had been killed.

As soon as Liu Xiang heard it, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and the Ming Army was now a taboo in everyone's hearts, and no one wanted to mention it. After all, they were driven to Nanyang by the Ming army, and then rushed to Mexico from Nanyang. In the middle, no matter how powerful their power is, no matter how great their allies used to be, they were all crushed by the Ming army, which really made them afraid.

"What the fuck are you fucking bad about, hurry up!" Liu Xiang hurriedly yelled to attract the attention of his accomplices.

When the man heard this, he saw that everyone in the house was looking at him, so he hurriedly replied: "Someone saw Wei Siming, and he was in the suburbs." ”

When Liu Xiang and the others heard this, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that something was wrong, but it turned out to be this. Of course, he also knew that the reason why this person was panicked was because he had betrayed Wei Siming and them as a welcome gift for himself.

However, Liu Xiang also knew that Wei Siming couldn't let him live, after all, he had already let the word out, saying that Wei Siming and others were executed by him.

Therefore, he asked for details again, and knew that Wei Siming and the others seemed to be fishing for a living. So, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, copy guys, you must not let those rabbit cubs run away this time!" ”

When his subordinates heard this, they immediately stopped gambling and responded loudly one by one, saying that they would definitely kill Wei Siming and them this time.

Liu Xiang had just walked to the door with the people, and suddenly remembered something, turned to the woman in the house and shouted: "If anyone dares to tell what happened just now, Lao Tzu wants you to die for the whole family!" ”

When the women in the room heard this, they all nodded in fright.

When Liu Xiang saw it, he changed his words and said: "Even if Wei Siming's people were escaped by them last time, but this time, it is absolutely impossible to escape death, in fact, it is still the same, those who dare to resist Lao Tzu have to die!" Lao Tzu ordered him to have a sky lantern this time! ”

After saying that, he led his men out. This time, it was not appropriate for the Ming people in Mexico City to know, nor did they want the Spaniards to know, so Liu Xiang just took his original subordinates out of the city.
