1335 Hope is in the West
At this moment, some people were silent, it was not that there were no peasant uprisings in Europe, but the power of the aristocracy was always very strong. In general, most of the rebellion is just the defeat of one nobleman by another. There are very few rebellions that are truly pure at the bottom that succeed. This, even in Chinese history, is actually only Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing this situation, it seemed that it was also expected by the person in charge, and he immediately continued: "If you don't resist, the military supplies will be pressed down, do you have any surplus food at home?" Tell me, who has a surplus? What about your wife and children? Anti-fucking, there is still a way to live; No, people like us are a dead end! ”
Hearing this, some people were moved. However, there are still some people who are a little hesitant. Let them listen to this kind of remarks and vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts, no problem; But when it really comes to picking up a knife and gun to fight hard, concerns will come out, which is also human nature.
"Henry, although the elite armies of the nobles have all gone to the east to fight the Ming army, don't we still have an aristocratic army on our side? How do we fight them? Can you beat it? ”
Some people raised objections, which can be regarded as representing the worries of most people, and most of them nodded their heads and looked at the man named Henry at the head.
When Henry saw this, he immediately replied: "There is no need to fight with these nobles, as long as you are not willing to die for the nobles, and you don't want to die at the hands of the nobles, just go west and go to the sea!" Our hope is by the sea! ”
Hearing that it was not a direct confrontation with the aristocratic army, many people were moved and asked one after another.
Heng pointed to the west and said to them, "There is a lot of food in the sea, at least no one will die of hunger." Also, I don't mean more than just food. Believe me, as long as we go to the beach, our days of suffering will usher in the dawn! ”
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he continued to add: "The noble lords have been oppressing us, so let them taste it, and let them go to the field and farm by themselves when there is no time for us!" ”
Hearing this, the people in the room immediately became a sensation. They imagined that those aristocratic lords did their own cooking, laundry, farming, and emptying the toilet, and they all laughed and looked forward to it.
Instead of waiting here to die, it is better to flee to the beach. This kind of confrontation is better than fighting with the aristocratic army with open swords and guns.
So, the people in the house, under the leadership of Henry, began to organize the westward migration.
Not only the people in this house, but also other places, there are similar people in the organization, and these people, without exception, are actually Jinyi Wei secret agents.
On this day, Ferdinand II, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, had a banquet all night, and before he got up, he was woken up by the guards: "Your Majesty, it's not good, those untouchables have run away!" ”
"What, what ran away?" Ferdinand II was confused, "Where can they run?" ”
A little flustered, the guard officer hurriedly replied, "All the untouchables have run away and gone west." There are not many untouchables in the city, and there is no one to do a lot of work, even ...... Even the toilet in the palace was empty, and it stinked! ”
"What?" Ferdinand II jumped out of bed in shock. The news was so unexpected that he would not be surprised to hear that the untouchables had rebelled. But all the untouchables had run away, which had never happened before, and he was surprised.
When I walked to the windowsill and looked out at the city, I found that the streets were empty, and it seemed that there were fewer soldiers.
"Your Majesty, according to the following report, those untouchables have fled to the west, saying that their hope is in the west, and they do not want to starve to death here!"
The words of the guard officer made Ferdinand II confused for a while, hoping to be in the west, what does this mean? A bit like playing riddles? Could it be, it's a Protestant ghost again, right?
Thinking so, he ordered troops to be sent to stop the untouchables, and at the same time hurried to find the Protestant kings, such as Queen Christina of Sweden. However, the reply was angrily received, saying that Ferdinand II was slandering them, and how could they do such a thing when they united against the Ming army! Could it be that your Holy Roman Empire itself is incompetent and can't control the situation?
This angry and mocking reply made Ferdinand II a little angry, and he wanted to kill all these former opponents now. However, he eventually suppressed his anger and continued to send troops to intercept the fleeing untouchables. Those who dare to disobey will be killed.
Of course, this unusual behavior based on the untouchables was too large, and he was a little worried that he would not dare to send all the troops out, and he had to leave enough troops to protect their own safety.
In this way, a hilarious scene appears.
The soldiers caught up with some of the serfs and ordered them to go back. Well, then go back, and then when the soldiers continue to chase the others, these promised serfs continue to be reincarnated and go west. Later, the soldiers sent out to escort the serfs back. But in this way, the troops that originally came out to chase were not enough, and after such a dilution, it was even more difficult to stop more serfs, which made those pursuing soldiers a dilemma.
The most important thing is that the terrain to the west from here is dominated by plains, and there are no checkpoints to set up to intercept. The serfs, as long as they were not chased by the soldiers, they all took their sons and daughters and went resolutely to the west.
The interception was not effective, which made Ferdinand II panic a little. At this time, other kings gave him an idea, saying that there must be someone behind such a large-scale exodus. Just catch those people and turn the tide of things.
Queen Christina of Sweden suggested that since the untouchables were afraid that they would starve to death if they stayed here, then you promised to let them come back and make sure that they would not starve to death.
In this regard, Ferdinand II is too lazy to pay attention to this chick, if you want money and food, do you still need to talk about it? He immediately issued a decree to the rest of the country, calling for the mobilization of armies to drive the untouchables back to their homes.
However, this exodus was widespread in many places, and the dispatch of troops was not so fast. What's more, because of the front-line operations, the cavalry left behind is already very limited. Relying on infantry to intercept is really powerless.
Eventually, Ferdinand II heard the advice of his men, and the kings of the countries consulted him, and came to the conclusion that the direction of the untouchables who fled on a large scale was basically the same, and they all headed for the mouth of the Scheldt River. At this moment, he immediately sent an army, ignoring the untouchables on the road, and rushed to the mouth of the Scheldt River.
Sure enough, untouchables had already arrived, improvised tents were set up everywhere, and many people were looking for fish and shrimp on the beach. Seeing the arrival of the army, they were a little panicked and fled in all directions.
Ferdinand II's army drove all the untouchables together and demanded their return. If you don't listen, you're going to kill here.
Many people, without ideas, can only go to Henry and others. They are a little scared, if they don't return home, will they have no choice but to fight the army unarmed?
However, the answers of Henry and others surprised them a little.
"Don't worry, hold on for one day, as long as you hold on for one day, the sky will change!"
Henry and the others even came forward in person to negotiate with the army, anyway, talking about all kinds of difficulties and asking to stay for an extra day. When the nobles who led the army heard that the untouchables dared to negotiate terms, they immediately became angry, and in front of everyone, they hung Henry and beat them.
The sea breeze was howling, and under the scorching sun, the army surrounded the crowd, separating them, and Henry and the others hung on the wooden frame that had been made out of the makeshift hurry, and their bodies were drenched in blood.
Seeing this situation, to the surprise of the leading nobles, those serfs were not only not afraid, but became angry and began to attack the isolation of the army, wanting to save people.
Henry and them, without asking for anything in return, just brought them to the beach, whether there is really hope or not, at least they can eat early here, at least they don't have to work hard for the noble lord for a day, but when they go home, they still have to face the wives and children to be fed.
Seeing the raging emotions of the group, the nobles who led the army were annoyed and angry, and they really wanted to order a group of shots to suppress a batch, but suddenly, the crowd that had just been surging all quieted down, and everyone looked in the direction of the sea, silent, and their expressions were surprised.
When the leading nobles saw it, they felt a little strange, and when they looked back, they were so shocked that their jaws were about to fall to the ground.
On the sea, countless ships, flying flags they had never seen before, were heading this way.
Visually, you can see that the figure on the boat is red.
I don't know who it is, but I suddenly shouted loudly: "Yes...... Is it the Ming Army? ”
Although they had not seen it, the uniforms of the Ming army were red, which they had heard. Seeing it at this time, some people couldn't help but guess like this.
The leading nobles did not believe it, you know, this is the seaside, and this side of the sea is only the Americas. Although there are Ming troops infested, it is impossible to go on an expedition here at this time, right?
The people on the shore, men and women, young and old, serfs and soldiers, all stared blankly at the mighty fleet.
Closer and closer, closer and closer, and when you can see the people on the ship clearly, the different races suddenly make the previous guess possible.
The serfs cheered happily: "The Ming army, it's the Ming army, the Ming army is coming......"
The soldiers exclaimed: "The Ming army, it's the Ming army, the Ming army is coming......"
This fleet, which is the other half of the Ming navy as Zheng Zhilong said, was commanded by Li Zhiqi, under the leadership of John and others, and there was a world map to refer to, crossed the Americas, crossed the Atlantic, lost more than 40 warships, and finally arrived in Europe.
Li Zhiqi naturally knew about all this happening on the shore in advance through the chat group. For these Jinyi Wei agents on the shore, Li Zhiqi's side actually did not tell the truth, and talked about the itinerary for an extra day to prevent traitors from appearing and make the enemy prepared.
When the landing ships of the Ming Navy began to dock, when the officers and men of the Ming Army wearing red uniforms began to land, the shore was suddenly in chaos.
The leading nobles immediately took the lead, and the first to flee, and his troops also fled. It's really these people who can't resist the huge fleet at all.
However, the serfs were excited, and at this moment, they finally understood that the so-called hope was in the west, and what did this mean? Seeing that those noble armies were about to flee, they immediately rushed forward, even if they were unarmed, they fought without scruples.
The Ming army was still landing, Henry and others were rescued, and all the people at the bottom warmly welcomed the arrival of the Ming army.
In later generations, many painters painted this scene because it was a knife inserted into the heart of the European aristocracy.
Then, everything fell into place.
These low-level people in Europe led the Ming army to attack the remaining aristocratic armies in the west of Europe at a very fast speed, liberating the local people. It can be described as a sea of red, which quickly spread across Europe.
The cavalry of the Marine Corps led by Zheng Zhilong was like a dagger, ignoring everything else and going straight to Aachen, where the kings of various countries were located.
Ferdinand II was so anxious about the paralyzed empire that his mouth was foaming, and when he heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, he thought that the cavalry he had sent had returned. Immediately ruthless, we must teach the untouchables a lesson, and kill him ruthlessly.
However, when he saw the cavalry sweeping in the distance from the window, but it was a red uniform, he was stunned.
Many of Aachen's troops had already been sent out, and it was the time of emptiness, which might be able to hold back the Ming army that came by surprise. Suddenly, he despaired.
By the time Zheng Zhilong broke through the Aachen City Gate, the palace was already burning, and the fire was so strong that there was no way to save it. This time, the fire burned how many nobles and kings of various countries burned to death, becoming a mystery to the world.
When the hinterland of Europe was raided by the Ming army, the Ming army that landed in the Persian Gulf also attacked the Persian Empire's military grain and grass transit station, and immediately expanded the results of the battle, attacking various towns. The whole of Europe and Eurasia and Africa are covered in red.
Because of the instant messaging function of the chat group, the Daming naval and land armies cooperated with each other and used the same means to attack the enemy's rear.
On the Minweiberg front, when Philip IV learned that there was a problem with the untouchables in the rear, he was already worried about logistics.
He had already organized several attacks on Mingweiburg, but none of them had been satisfactory. It was really the firearms of the Ming army that were too powerful, and the other party's command dealt with them properly. There was even a time, but when his own troops retreated, he was beaten by the cavalry in the city.
Against this backdrop, the generals of all countries began to avoid the war, and there was no clear expectation of laying down the Mingweibao Castle, and no one wanted to send their own troops.
To this end, Philip IV convened a military council and demanded that each country send an army and form a death squad to take Fort Minwei before the supply of food and grass was scarce. In the end, he encouraged them: "After fighting for so long, the Ming army's gunpowder consumption must be almost the same." As long as we maintain the intensity of our attacks, the Ming army will definitely run out of ammunition and have no power to fight back! ”
Other generals actually have this understanding of this. After so much effort, Mingweibao will still be defeated after all, this is everyone's consensus.
So, they agreed that the decisive battle would begin tomorrow and could not be delayed any longer.
However, what they didn't expect was that at the head of Mingweibao City, Man Gui and Li Dingguo looked at the weather vane, felt that the weather was suitable, and invariably said to each other: "It looks like you can act tonight!" ”
After saying that, the two of them laughed in unison.
Daming's killer feature, they haven't seen it before. Now this night, it's time to use the killer weapon, but unfortunately it's night, the moon is still a little thin, and the moonlight is limited, which is a pity!
