The arrival of the Mediterranean Fleet calmed down the European countries in an instant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although this fleet did not do anything else, but sailed directly into the port of Weiyuan to scrape the bottom of the ship, it had already shown its hegemonic majesty, and then Philip V, who was backed by a strong backing, personally led 40,000 Spanish troops across the border between France and Spain, assumed the pretense of his own uncle to take care of his nephew, and rode straight to Paris in a carriage escorted by a large group of cuirassiers.

As for the French troops guarding the border......

Well, they warmly welcomed the Sun King's only surviving son.

Philip V was not without supporters in France, in fact, he had many, many supporters, originally after the death of Louis XIV, Dubois relied on his cunning mind, with an alliance between England and France, to block his march into Paris, and to block those who welcomed Philip among the French aristocracy. But now the Anglo-French alliance is useless, and the huge Ming Mediterranean fleet is like an evil dragon in Europe, so that the British have to honestly retreat back to Portsmouth and abandon all unrealistic ideas.

In this case, Philip's victory was decided, and his supporters in France had to hurry up and become ministers of the dragon.

Likewise, other countries have shrunk back.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty has shown the ability to bulldoze Europe, and at this time, for the sake of the French throne, it is not worth bleeding each other anymore, and if it is released, it will be even less able to resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

Eventually, Philip V entered Paris to cheers, and then, under his auspices, of course, mainly under the threat of force, the Duke of Orleans and Dubois had to agree to convene the Estates-General, and finally the French nobility, clergy and plebeian representatives voted to determine the French throne. There must have been no accidents with this belonging, and if there had been any accidents, they would have been nipped in the bud, in short, Philip V got his wish and put on the crown of France at the Palace of Versailles, and France and Spain were finally under the same king.

However......

Philip then did not fulfill his promise.

He is not stupid, the Estates-General is just a rag, how can he have a parliament on his head, he used to ask for help, but now after straightening out the political situation in France, how could he, the monarch of the world's second most powerful country, want something inexplicable like a parliament. Although he didn't carry a horsewhip to tell the councillors to get out of here for the sake of face, he didn't mention anything about turning the Estates-General into a council. In fact, he seemed to have forgotten that there was such a group of parliamentarians who were full of democratic aspirations, and that he should appoint a prime minister at the Palace of Versailles, how to arrange the ministers of the dragon, and by the way, he found an excuse to exile the Duke of Orleans and Dubois, but made Louis XV the Prince of Brittany, and swore that once he died, the throne would still be his dear little nephew.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether his little nephew will survive to that day.

In short, in his opinion, the Estates-General have completed their historical mission and it is time to go to the garbage heap.

But the parliamentarians were stupid.

The elites who aspire to democracy are stupid.

Those French consciences who are confidently waiting for a new era are stupid.

"Look, this is the difference between a politician and an idealist, the latter is destined to be played with by the former, and this is the price of naivety."

Emperor Yang said with emotion.

Of course, that's what he wants.

He was going to blow the French bubble so big and then wait for Philip V to burst, who was sure not to keep his promise, he knew it from the beginning, but what did it have to do with him? He was deceived from the very beginning by Philip, who took advantage of his hopes for democracy in France, deceived his feelings, took advantage of his kindness, and then betrayed his friendship, and in any case the French people would certainly think so, and the French people would have made them think so if they did not.

His role is positive.

It's just that he was too kind so he was used by those shameless people, and the French people can only hate Philip if they want to hate, it was Philip who betrayed the kind Emperor Yang and the equally kind French people, and the French people will make this untrustworthy guy pay.

He was looking forward to it.

He tossed so much just for this scene.

"Your Majesty, should we also say something?"

Liang Cheng said with a smile.

"I said that I must make a statement, and I will issue a statement in my name, asking Philip V to take the people's democratic demands seriously, and inviting some representatives of the Estates-General of France to visit Daming, and asking the Inspectorate to make a visiting delegation, and also going to Europe, in short, not to let the French people forget their sacred mission."

Yang Feng said sinisterly.

At this time, Liang Shangshu smiled very sinisterly.

This is adding fuel to the fire, the fire of freedom and democracy of the French people has been burned, if Philip V fulfills his promise, then the fire can be controlled, but he breaks his promise and fattened then the fire begins to get out of control, at this time, just pour a basin of kerosene to make it uneasy to blow up.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff reports that the Second Cavalry Army has conquered Majia, and Guo Jingluo asks for instructions on how to deal with it."

At this time, an attendant reported.

"Disposition? What else can be done, leveled, completely leveled, no buildings on the ground are allowed to be left there, and no inhabitants are allowed to live there in the future, and all the people in the whole valley are moved out, and then trees are planted there, and there are many kinds of points, and then there will be a forest there, and then some small animals will be stocked in the forest to add life. ”

Emperor Yang said.

Well, it does.

"Raze them all, leave nothing behind."

In the distant Hejaz, a city that had almost been completely razed to ruins, Guo Hong, the envoy of the Heavenly Scriptures, looked at the telegram in his hand and said.

"What about these guys?"

An officer beside him asked.

In front of them, on the ruins of a temple that had long been unrecognizable, hundreds of elders in white robes were sitting on the ground solemnly holding scriptures and chanting, surrounded by burning flames and rising smoke, and countless fragmented dead bodies scattered on the ruins, soaked in blood, looking shocking. It was obvious that there had been a terrible battle here, and there was a faint pungent smell of chlorine in the air, and it was obvious that the Ming army had used du gas during the battle, and some Ming soldiers were standing among the dead corpses with rifles loaded with bayonets, looking at these elders with the eyes of the dead.

"Where's the flamethrower?"

Guo Hong said with a sneer.

"Pyro!"

The officer shouted with a wave behind him.

Immediately after that, two soldiers with two cylinders on their backs quickly stepped forward, and each of them lay down on a piece of building ruins on the left and right, and set up a barrel-like thing with a tripod to point at the group of elders, and then looked up at the officer at the same time, the officer directly pressed his hand down, the two soldiers did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and two fire dragons suddenly shot out from the muzzles in front of them, and crashed into the elders at once, and then with a series of screams of horror and despair, those elders all turned into burning people.

"I love this kind of scene!"

Guo Hong took out a cigarette and put it on his mouth and said.

The officer quickly pulled out a lighter and lit it for him.

At the same time, eight large bulldozers also drove up, steel tracks ran over the dead corpses, and began to bulldoze any remaining buildings on the ground of this ancient city, completely erasing it from the planet, according to Emperor Yang's orders, it will be turned into a forest in the future, and then some small animals will be stocked.

Well, I don't need to say what kind of critter it is.

The razing of Majia represented the official end of the Hejaz War, before which Medina had also been conquered by the Ming army on the northern front, and the Ming army on the northern front had also entered the central oasis area, and from there all the way south, destroying Riyadh, the hinterland of the peninsula, which was only an inconspicuous small tribe.

This three-year war made the entire western part of the peninsula almost completely reduced to ghosts, more than 500,000 people died in various ways of killing by the Ming army, in addition to the famine caused by the war, and almost 300,000 were captured as slaves of the Ming Dynasty, at this time the Hejaz was also two million people, so the rest were almost all women, at this time the Ming soldiers who came to fight here were basically grooms at night, almost all of them left their seeds here, and even some people simply couldn't think about it, there were more than 10,000 Ming soldiers, After the end of his service, he chose to stay.

It is said that women have become the main driving force for Ming men to emigrate to the newly conquered land.

It is the dream of Hou Gong that allows those retired veterans who are no longer accustomed to the peaceful and quiet life in the country to find their spiritual belonging, after all, these bastards are used to killing people and setting fires, and returning home to live a law-abiding life is undoubtedly a torture for them, so that they can enjoy the life as conquerors in the land where they once fought, which is undoubtedly the most suitable for them.

Emperor Yang also encouraged them to do so, and for those veterans who were willing to stay in the Hejaz, he usually offered a large sum of money each as a settling-in fee.

Otherwise, it is easy to bring public security problems when these guys are put back, he doesn't want to end up with a bunch of Rambo and need a headache, which of these soldiers is indispensable for dozens of lives, and killing people is almost a habit, and those police and reservists in the country are really not enough to see in front of them, that is, the special service team of the Internal Affairs Department of Jinyi Wei is also pure in front of these guys. What's more, they are all meritorious men, in case they really want to commit a big crime in the country and be shot, they are a little sorry for their bloody struggle for the country, so it is undoubtedly the best choice for them to use jing liquid to continue to expand the territory for the empire. Although the Hejaz is not a good place, it is still no problem to feed a few million people, especially in the future oil development, and these people and their descendants are also the best reserve of workers.

In short, that's all there is to Hejaz.

To the north of the Hejaz are Syria and Iraq, to which the Ottoman Empire belonged, and these places are not yet within the scope of conquest, after the Ming army had conquered Yemen, so that in the entire Arabian Peninsula, only Oman was left unconquered.

But it's only a matter of time there.

In fact, Oman's main densely populated coastal area has long been occupied by the Ming army, and now it is just some warriors who are extremely loyal to the Zhen Lord, fighting guerrilla warfare with the Ming army in those arid and desolate mountainous areas, these people have no future, just the question of when they will die cleanly, fortunately, Yang Feng is not in a hurry, there is no other use there except for the development of oil, that is, it can also raise pearls, as for the development of oil, it is not needed in the short term.

There's Southeast Asia!

As far as the current development speed of Daming industry is concerned, it is estimated that there is no need to develop oil in the Persian Gulf within 20 years, after all, the number of Daming cars has just exceeded 1,000 so far, and the scale of this thing is less than a few million vehicles There is no need to use other oil fields at all, Brunei can package it itself, not to mention that Daming is not only an oil field in Brunei, but even the oil field just discovered by Beiting has begun to produce oil.

However, the destruction of Ma Jia still brought a little trouble to Yang Feng.

"Boycott the goods?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"Yes, there were waves of boycotts of our goods in both the Ottoman Empire and Persia, and even two of our merchants were killed in Istanbul."

Liang Cheng said.

"It's inexplicable, you ask Ahmet III, does he want to live a good life, does he have to send a fleet to bombard Istanbul to be happy? If he doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, then I'll let the cannon ask him instead of me. ”

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

This kind of result has long been expected by him, he has leveled Ma Jia, isn't it still a bearded believer if people are not anxious with him? This kind of thing can't be controlled even by Ahmet III, but it's one thing to understand, and it's another thing to take this opportunity to go crazy, and the Mediterranean Fleet has already rested after such a long rest, and it is just right to go out to scare and scare people.

Liang Cheng didn't say much.

This is also a must, at this time, the Ming Dynasty is basically the same as the British Empire in the Victorian era, any disrespect for the Ming is a provocation, and it needs to be educated with cannons, not to mention that two people died this time.

"Which company are these two employees for?"

Yang Feng asked casually.

"It's not a big company, it's a small businessman and assistant who runs a tobacco business."

Liang Cheng said.

"Tobacco, what's wrong with the tobacco merchant, the tobacco merchant is also my Daming people!"

Emperor Yang said righteously.

Well, that's actually two y** traffickers.

The Ming Dynasty is now not only the world's only industrialized country, the world's most powerful empire, but also the world's largest tobacco exporter, with from the low-end to the high-end to almost a full set of tobacco planting, processing and sales network, as for what kind of tobacco it is needless to say, although these things are a dead end among the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they are widely popular among the subjects and foreign countries, including in Europe is actually very popular, and the same Ming tobacco merchants are all over the world.

These guys are more pervasive than the salesmen of Imperial Oil, and if anyone suffers from the tide of resistance against Ming imperialism, they undoubtedly have the highest chances.
