During the Thirty Years' War in Europe at this time, there were no effective supply lines. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Combat units generally use local materials to support their wars. Each army was followed by a large group of servants, merchants, and women.

Since the outbreak of the Danish phase of the war in 1625, Ferdinand II has faced a financial crisis. After a series of military setbacks and the inability to form a new army, Wallenstein, a Bohemian nobleman and famous mercenary general, was appointed commander-in-chief of the imperial army.

The government signed contracts with military entrepreneurs, granted titles, promised territories, and even acquiesced in the imposition of 'war taxes'.

These military entrepreneurs recruit mercenaries, manage and lead armies to war, and pay officers of all ranks and rank-and-file mercenaries. Mercenaries and military entrepreneurs have a labor-management relationship, without any legal relationship with the government and are not controlled by the government.

At this time, the princes of Germany, large and small, generally employed or were themselves military entrepreneurs. There are about three hundred military entrepreneurs in Germany!

And, Zhu Zilong's previous new plan was to let Liu Feng use this as an entry point.

First take the city of Rome, strengthen the personnel of the church army, and then mix in their own people as leaders and control. Finally, a new European mercenary company was developed that was nominal in the church, but was actually controlled only by the Ming Dynasty.

Then by the righteous name of the third queen, enter the German military market.

So as to become bigger and stronger, and fish in troubled waters.

Anyway, with the church as a backer, it is already at the point where it is impossible to lose and lose everything. Regardless of victory or defeat, there is a right of priority to return to the country, as well as the right of redemption of the captive.

The pros of doing this clearly outweigh the disadvantages!

Mercenaries have existed since ancient Greek times, and were notorious in the Hundred Years' War between England and France and in Italy, and in the early Renaissance.

In those days, the only thing that could really afford to manage an army in Europe was the Dutch government, whose mercenaries were strictly disciplined, and there were almost no mutinies and looting.

Although European mercenaries are professional soldiers with high military quality, they join the army for money, their loyalty is extremely low, military discipline is lax, and looting and destruction are commonplace.

It can be said that Zhu Zilong is ready to use it to play black, and it is one of the best development forces for black to eat black.

But, apparently, the plans can't keep up with the changes.

The situation in front of him immediately made Liu Feng feel cheated. If it can't develop as planned, in this way, isn't bullying the trust of Zhu Zilong, the grandfather of the country?

(To put it bluntly, Zhu Zilong's plan is to prepare Liu Feng to develop a large number of thieves like Li Zicheng on the Ming side.) But it is the product of covert militarization and is controlled by them. The most important thing is that it is still semi-legal to be named in the church. ）

You must know that Li Zicheng can use the power of spark to defeat the Ming Dynasty in history.

Could it be that this kind of power can't be defeated in Europe, how many kings are not as good as emperors?

Can't you confuse the water in Europe?

At that time, the famous Wallenstein in Europe controlled 150,000 mercenaries, and his troops were called the "army of locusts".

In Zhu Zilong's eyes, that is a figure that can be called the European Li Zicheng, and with a better foundation, he can completely create a stronger European Li Zicheng.

In the original history, during the Thirty Years' War in Europe.

The prevalence of looting, vandalism and violence is unprecedented in Europe, and the crimes committed by mercenaries are too numerous to mention. It's just that there are already people and things, blocking the black pot man, and not using them is a shameful waste.

Of course, it is necessary to complete Zhu Zilong's explanation.

Liu Feng first had to deal with the city of Rome, at this moment, the holy place of Rome had become thick smoke and flames, as if it was being plundered by infidels or barbarians.

In fact, this is almost the case, even if the Pope comes forward, he will not be able to control the situation at all.

In this case, it can only be taken care of by Liu Feng, the deputy, plus a part-time military commander. He immediately asked his church army to raise banners and shields, take out swords and spears, and engage in street battles with the thugs in the city.

Equipped with some artillery and mainly equipped with rifled guns, what will happen to the thugs who are mainly cold weapons?

Historically, there is an example of war in China in 1860. The two sides of the war were 30,000 Qing troops against 8,000 British and French troops.

As a result of this battle, 2 British soldiers were killed (one British, one Indian) and 29 wounded (11 British, 18 Indian). The Qing army died thousands!

At this time, in the face of tens of thousands of thugs, Liu Feng only shot with a few thousand signature mercenaries.

The officer stepped forward and shouted: "Listen, everyone, lay down your arms and surrender, the divine dragon and the messenger of God are coming." Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

After shouting this, the officer took a step back, the knife in his hand pointed diagonally to the ground, and commanded: "Ready!" Raise your gun! ”

With the password, there was a neat click, which was the trigger opened, and with a brush, it was neatly raised.

Dozens of minutes later!

When the gunfire rang out incessantly, the entire city of Rome was stunned.

When Liu Feng informed the Pope that everything was done and he could come to inspect. The Pope didn't wait for the car door to open, and a strong smell of blood was already blowing in his face.

Seeing everything in front of him, the Pope staggered back three steps, blocked by the carriage, and sat down on the pedals.

Completely out of shape!

In sight, on all the streets, there were thousands of dead bodies of white Europeans, all of whom were let Liu Feng's men line up to be shot and killed on the spot.

There were also hills on the side, which were piled up with corpses.

Liu Feng handed over a piece of paper at this time, and the Pope subconsciously took it and looked at it, and then froze. It's only been a little bit of time, less than an hour, right?

Ten thousand thugs were eliminated, and all the others were taken into custody. There are no such strong mercenaries in the whole of Europe, right?

It's too powerful, is this a mercenary from Daming?

When the captives and the populace were brought over.

Already in the midst of death and gunfire, the survivors have come to their senses. Seeing the Pope, the thugs who had been burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil a moment ago, actually knelt down with tears streaming down their faces, like the purest children.

“…… Oh, merciful God! Have you finally come to save, we lowly mortals? ”

"Where's that...... Triple tiara? …… Is that old man the Pope? Damn, was I demon-possessed? ”

“…… Oh, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, but my wife and children are innocent, please let them go! ”

Seeing these vicious thugs, in the blink of an eye, they became the most pious meek lambs. The pope, who lost his temper, regained his self-confidence. Liu Feng, who was standing on the side and accepting the believers kowtowing to him and praying together, sighed deeply.

The religious atmosphere in Europe is so pious and the religious forces are deep-rooted, it seems that in order to break this situation, they will have to kill more people!

But things are always going in a good direction, aren't they?

As long as the church army is actually controlled by itself. And the mercenaries are also in hand, and they have a big name, so why worry about big things?
