Chapter 450: Conquering the Heavens, Civilization Invades
Relying on the French fleet to seize control of the Mediterranean, the army of the Knights of the Mediary soon landed in the port of Aco, and then marched into their holy city to the tearful cheers of the Christians, and on the same day the Ming army in Jerusalem retreated to Aqaba, then by sea to the port of Suez, and in the following month, Mamluk, who had been stationed in Jerusalem, also retreated in batches to the port of Suez on the Aqaba sea.

And at this time, their identity has also become the local defense army of the Kingdom of Egypt of the Ming Empire.
For the time being, it is under the command of the Egyptian Economic and Strategic Mission.
The military system of the Ming Dynasty is somewhat similar to that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ming army is only a Zhongyang army, but each subject country has the right to have its own local defense army, and there is not even a limit on the number, even if the king of the subject country wants to establish his own navy Yang Feng does not care. Moreover, the imperial government, whether it is the military department or the general staff, does not have jurisdiction over the local defense forces, these armies are completely the private armies of the kings, and they have no obligation to go out to fight, and of course they have no right to invade foreign countries, but once the subject country is invaded, the Ming army will provide them with support, and at this time the local defense army must accept the command of the Ming army.
In fact, Egypt had only just joined the Ming Empire, so they still had a strong army, like those old vassal states such as Goryeo, at this time there was no army at all, and Li Zhuo only had a symbolic king's guard.
The total strength is a thousand people.
To put it bluntly, it's a guard of honor.
He is not stupid in his brain, it costs money to raise an army, and a huge amount of money is needed every year, but Goryeo is covered by Yang Feng, and it is impossible for outsiders to invade, and there is no rebellion inside, if there is a rebellion, all he wants is to rob his country, but the king of Goryeo is Yang Fengfeng, and he grabs the throne by himself without his appointment, isn't that despising his authority? Provoking his temper? That wealthy family in Goryeo has this kind of guts?
It can be said that there is neither external enemy nor internal enemy, Li Zhuo wants the army to have a hairy use!
Why can't he save a huge amount of military spending?
Wouldn't it be better to build more palaces, buy more yachts, and raise more beauties?
Not only him, in fact, the vast majority of subject countries are gradually put into the treasury like this, and then save a huge amount of military spending every year for those kings to eat, drink and have fun, for example, the king of Brunei has built several palaces alone, and the beauties of various countries have raised more than 2,000, and they are soaked in wine and beauties every day, without the slightest awareness that he is actually raised by Yang Feng as a pig, in fact, even if he understands, he would rather be raised as a pig, and this kind of life is not what he dreams of?
To put it bluntly, Yang Feng is playing the game of the British raising pigs in India.
No more, after a hundred years, even the lions will raise fat pigs, and at that time, not only these kings, but their entire nation will become pigs that can be slaughtered at will.
Of course, Egypt is not right now.
Murad had to restore his rule over his country before he could live a good life as a pig.
The Mamluk or the Egyptian King's Defense Guard, which was taken to the port of Suez, quickly cooperated with the Ming army to the north, quickly captured Ismailia, and launched a bloody large-scale tuchagrin in the city, until the entire Ismailia was almost killed without a single adult man, of course, the city's Zhen warriors would not let it be slaughtered, they used the same bloody and cruel street fighting to fight, and caused more than 1,500 casualties of the Ming army and the Egyptian King's Defense Guard.
But the elders in Cairo did not come to Ismailia's aid.
The tactics of the Ming army are to besiege the city and send reinforcements, to attack Ismailia to attract the main reinforcements of those elders, and then eliminate them in the field to avoid street battles that will definitely bring a large number of casualties, but those elders are very sober, they know that the field duel against the Ming army is no different from suicide, they have made up their minds to drag the Ming army into the street battle, the warriors of Ismailia can sacrifice themselves for the Zhen lord It is their honor, and the Zhen lord will let their souls go to a bunch of chu women to enjoy sexual bliss.
And in the same way, the casualties of more than 1,500 people did sober up the Ming army, although there were only more than 400 Ming troops in it, but this number was also terrifying, according to this casualty ratio, the Egyptian army had to suffer tens of thousands of casualties to solve the resistance of this land.
It's definitely not going to work.
But there is really no other good way to do this kind of street fighting, even if you use du gas, it has not much effect, the Egyptians dug their city into rat holes, there are tunnels everywhere, they hoard a lot of food and drinking water in the tunnels, the soil here makes digging tunnels just like playing, the Ming army bombarded them immediately drilled the tunnels, the vents were useless, and after the shelling of the Ming army into the city, they drilled out of the ruins everywhere to shoot black guns.
This insidious tactic crushed all those Ming officers and soldiers.
The commander of the Ming army on the northern front wisely suspended the next offensive, anyway, the reason why they attacked Ismailia was only because tens of thousands of troops were too crowded in the port of Suez, so they wanted to expand the area of occupation, and they were not really ready to open up the canal zone. In this case, even if it is opened, it is useless, Egypt is controlled by the elders, and the flanks are attacked at any time, it is difficult to dig the canal smoothly, and even if it is excavated, there is not a sufficient number of workers, the workers were forcibly requisitioned from Egypt before, but now where to go to collect them.
In this way, we can only wait for Yang Feng's Aswan dam plan.
The Ming imperialists and their minions, who had been hit hard, stopped directly in the ruined Ismailia, and then enjoyed the warmth of the women whose husbands and brothers they had just killed, and waited for the arrival of the domestic propaganda team. On the other side of the Sinai Peninsula behind them, Muslin's army also began to launch a counteroffensive against Jerusalem, and the Knights of the Medics and the local Christian army fought to the death to defend the Holy Land on the original Ming and Mamluk lines, and the blood of both sides was once again flowing as it had been five hundred years ago.
And in Europe, more crusaders were armed by the Church.
In the Balkans, the army of Prince Eugen was still attacking, in North Africa, the French army was attacking, in the Crimea, the army of the Swedes was attacking, and the monarchs of the Catholic League even shouted the slogan of retaking Constantinople and completely exterminating the pagans and rebuilding Eastern Rome. For the first time in hundreds of years, the monarchs of Europe saw the light of their annihilation of this formidable enemy, and decided to do whatever it took to send the nightmare that had hung over Europe for thousands of years into hell. The wealth accumulated by the Church for thousands of years was taken out, and the monarchs of various countries were desperately trying to squeeze their troubled peoples, and even the new capitalists, in order to seize more markets and resources, were desperately advocating for war.
They also have to fight a sheng battle.
In order to save the decline of the church, the monarchs fought for the land, and the commoners in order to realize the dream of making a fortune, under the deliberate impetus of various forces, the whole of Europe was also ignited by religious fanaticism, almost all the priests in the Catholic church were shouting the slogan of sheng war, almost all the streets of the city were erected to recruit crusaders, those priests desperately preached the sanctity of war, and those recruiters did their best to boast of the richness of the Holy Land.
Everything is like five hundred years ago.
And their enemies are also shouting the slogan of sheng war.
Ahmed III, as caliph, and Saeed II, as the guardian of the Holy Land, issued a call to the entire Muslin world, including the Shiites, calling on all the loyal subjects of the Zhen Lord to take up arms, fight for the Zhen Lord, fight for the faith, and fight the invaders to the end, so that the blood of the infidels will stain the Mediterranean Sea, and the bones of the infidels will become fertilizer for the land of the Muslin.
Under their call, all the young men of the Balkans, North Africa, the Caucasus, the Arabian Peninsula, Asia Minor, took up arms, rushed to the battlefields with the glory of the Lord, and defended their faith with their lives.
They'll get their way.
And in the far east, another kingdom is also shouting the slogan of sheng war.
"Sheng Zhan!"
"For the sake of the God Emperor!"
"For the Holy Church!"
"Let the light of the Holy Religion shine in the heavens, spread the power of the emperor in the four seas, preach in all countries, and let the civilization of the Ming Dynasty dispel the clouds of Xie Religion!"
Just like the original propaganda of the construction of Xijing Dragon City, all the propaganda machines of the Ming Dynasty also started at full speed, frantically instilling religious fanaticism in the good people, under the banner of religion, mobilizing their enthusiasm for expansion and aggression, satisfying the **** of the government and those capitalists who went out to plunder, of course, also satisfied the dark psychology of His Majesty the Emperor who went out to cleanse, and even the priests of the shrine were shouting the slogan of sheng war, calling on believers to build the shrine in Mecca and erect the icon of the god emperor in Baghdad. Let the light of the sun and moon shine on the Mediterranean.
"You are God's chosen people.
You are the greatest people.
You are the defenders of this world!
The darkness of heresy is shrouded in the West, the evil gods are blinding the people there, they are crawling in the dark sludge, they are sinking in ignorance, you have the responsibility to save them, you have the responsibility to dispel the darkness there with the light of civilization, you have the duty to fulfill the duty given to you by the gods, to spread civilization, to cleanse heresy, to destroy evil spirits, to let the light of the sun and the moon, the light of the gods, and the light of civilization shine on the whole world.
Remember who you are, you are the chosen people of the gods, your duty is to carry out the will of the gods on earth, you are the warriors of the gods, you are the sword of the gods.
Conquer the heavens! ”
Yang Feng stood on the tower of Chengtianmen, waving his fist and shouting.
The pillars of the spotlight shone on his body from different directions, and he looked extremely sacred in the round spots, and the loudspeakers set up in various positions also made his voice sound like an oracle, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the square below cheered at him like crazy, and the scene was like a mustache's speech.
