After the total annihilation of the Ottoman fleet, Chen Han led the Nanyang Fleet and unceremoniously slapped his face to the end......

He drove the fleet to the port of Jeddah. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then less than a hundred miles away from the temple of Mu Dabeard's believers, the black battleships sounded their whistles proudly, and then a unique barbecue was carried out on the deck, as for what it was roasted, it was needless to say, and it was slaughtered on the spot, anyway, when those Ming soldiers were eating with their mouths full of oil, the Zhen main warriors in Jeddah Port, which was only a mile away from them, could almost be said to be angry.

But they endured it anyway.

Although the cannons on their batteries could already reach these ships.

But they didn't dare to fire.

Because at this time, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Ming Army had already arrived at the port of Aden, together with the 37th Infantry Brigade reinforced by the 10th Army, and the 1st Marine Brigade, which had not yet received the evacuation order, the strength of the Ming Army on the Arabian Peninsula had reached 3 brigades. In particular, the 1st Marine Brigade can load ships in the port of Aden at any time, and at most it will be able to raid Jeddah in a few days, since the port of Aden has not stopped them, then the port of Jeddah will definitely not be able to stop it, and then the next stop will be Mecca. Moreover, the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the 2nd Cavalry Army has also arrived in Ceylon, and it will soon be able to arrive by special transport ship, because the war in India has ended, and even the cavalry brigade belonging to the 2nd Army is coming by sea, which means that the Ming Army has five brigades about to complete the assembly on the Arabian Peninsula.

And that's not counting the other four brigades of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, which were at sea.

Nine brigades.

The Ming army showed nine brigades for the Arabian Peninsula, including five cavalry brigades, two vehicle-mounted infantry brigades, one artillery brigade, and one marine brigade specializing in flanks, with a total strength of nearly 50,000 troops.

And there is also a powerful fleet.

Poor Ottoman governor Hejaz has less than 5,000 men at his disposal!

His main forces were all transferred to Syria to stop the Mamluks, and in fact, most of them had already died on the battlefield, and His Majesty the Emperor was unable to give him any more reinforcements, because at this time it was not only the Mamluks who were pressing forward step by step, but even the Austrians and Swedes were ready to move in the north, and even the Russians, who had just been violently beaten by the Swedes, poked out their claws towards the Caucasus like stray wild dogs. Poor Ahmet III is worried about how to deal with these enemies on all sides, how can he manage the Hejaz anymore! The only thing the governor of the Hejaz can do now is to pray to the lord of Zhen to bless the Ming army not to beat him, isn't it just to eat a barbecue and waft over a little taste, and he is not forced to eat with him.

Bear with me!

After the demonstration, Chen Han did not do anything to hurt the feelings of the Ottoman people, and then the Ming fleet escorted a group of accompanying merchant ships north to the port of Suez, sending the latest batch of arms to the Egyptians. These arms were purchased by Murad with a loan from the Ming Imperial Bank as collateral for the future proceeds of the Canal Company, anyway, his current credit equivalent is very high, and the Ming Imperial Bank does not care about printing more dragon dollar banknotes to stimulate domestic economic growth. He is now concentrating on the assault on Damascus, and is in dire need of a large amount of munitions, especially heavy weapons, especially heavy rockets to bombard the fortress, which is the core fortress of the Ottoman Empire in the Arab world, and is not so easy to fight. And his strategic goal is to conquer Damascus, and then threaten the Hejaz to the south, directly threaten the hinterland of the Ottoman Empire to the west, force Ahmet III to recognize Egypt's peace talks, protect the canal zone with Palestine as the front and the Sinai Peninsula as the defense line, and wait for the canal to be dug and shared for generations to come.

Of course, he didn't know that he was just a pawn.

And with the same chess pieces, Yang Feng has many more.

"I don't like them, I don't like all the things that I believe in, and I usually have a habit of erasing things that I don't like from this earth, whether it's a person, a temple, or an empire, even if it's an empire, a huge empire!"

In the beautiful garden of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Emperor Yang said proudly with a wine glass.

Beside him, two white men lowered their hands and listened.

"Your Majesty, what about after erasure?"

One of them said cautiously.

"Count, my empire is already huge!"

Yang Feng said lightly.

Count Conrad, the envoy of the Emperor of the HRE, the Archduke of Austria, the King of Hungary, and King Charles VI of Bohemia, smiled, and continued to wait for His Majesty the Emperor's instructions.

"I don't have much interest in expanding my empire anymore, my territory is already very vast, even beyond the needs of my people, tens of millions of square miles of land are still uninhabited, why do I need so much land? So we can make a clear division, the east is mine, the west is yours, and divide our sphere of influence with the two continents of Asia and Europe on your map, Asia belongs to me, but I don't have much interest in other places. That is to say, after we destroy the Ottoman Empire, the east of the Black Sea Strait belongs to me, and the west part belongs to you, and I can promise you that the Ming army will never cross this strait, of course, how you divide this part has nothing to do with me. ”

Yang Feng continued.

His promise is absolutely valid, and the Ming army will not cross the Black Sea straits in the future.

In the future, he wants to build a railway to go through the Great Plain of Ukraine on the northern shore of the Black Sea to Europe, so why do he have to cross the Black Sea Strait and take the lofty mountains and mountains of the Balkans.

Count Conrad and Count Carlsen, the Swedish envoy to the Ming Dynasty, glanced at each other, it was obvious that this kind of partition proposed by Yang Feng was completely acceptable, and they themselves did not have the ability to touch the east of the Black Sea Straits, in fact, in terms of strength, the Ottomans still surpassed any of them alone, and they dared to take this job, in addition to being really unable to resist this temptation, more importantly, because whether they attacked the Balkans or southern Ukraine, they would be welcomed by the people as liberators.

These places were originally dominated by God-believing peoples, and there were even a large number of small lords who were only forced to submit to the Ottoman Empire, and these small lords were full of hatred for the Ottomans, and when they fought them, these people would cheer.

But not east of the strait.

It was the core of the Ottoman Empire, and they would face a national revolt in the past, and with their little army, it was impossible to subjugate such a vast land, and most of that land had no real value, so it was better to give it to Yang Feng happily. After the Ming army seized these places, it would definitely face a large-scale resistance, which also happened to stop Yang Feng's expansion, saying that His Majesty the Emperor just said that his empire was already very large, and it could be regarded as his fart, who would think that his land was too little? Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has destroyed countless countries, isn't it because of his greedy ambition?

To say that Europeans are not worried that he covets Europe is.

In fact, at this time, the Europeans were already juxtaposing him with Genghis Khan, although the distance was a natural barrier between the two sides, but didn't this distance stop the Mongols? What's more, the Mongols did not have a fleet, but the Ming Dynasty had an invincible fleet, especially now that he had to dig a canal again, once the canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea was dug up, even the Ming fleet could enter the Mediterranean, and the distance would be even less worth mentioning at that time. Although intellectually they should have found a way to preserve the Ottoman Empire as a bulwark, emotionally the Austrians did not want to miss the opportunity to destroy their enemies.

Fortunately, the Ming army's attitude towards Mu Dabeard was too bad, so even if the Ming army occupied the Ottoman Empire, it would inevitably face a wave of all-out resistance, but there were tens of millions of believers there, and if they really wanted to resist, they could also trap the Ming army's footsteps like a quagmire.

In that case, the Earl of Conrad had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, then we hope to be able to procure new arms from your country."

He said very directly.

"Yes, you can get the same level of stuff as the French, and of course, the price must be the same as the French, needless to say. In fact, there is nothing to stand in the way of friendship between us, and although the Vatican continues to denigrate me as some satanic incarnation, I have no ill will towards you. Speaking of which, I still don't understand how Dora came to this conclusion in the first place, you can walk around my land and see, if the ruler of such a kingdom is the embodiment of Satan, then it seems that Satan is really for mankind. ”

Yang Feng said.

In fact, the Vatican's statement is becoming more and more spurned in Europe, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and Europe has long been liberalized, countless European merchant ships shuttle this route, and countless Europeans arrive at the Ming Dynasty every year, and the prosperity and wealth of this country make them jaw-dropping, if such a country is under the rule of Satan, then it seems that it is not a happy thing to be God's people.

Especially at this time, Europe was the era of the rise of Enlightenment, and those Europeans who gradually came out of the darkness of the Middle Ages did not have much affection for the Vatican itself.

"Your Majesty, it's all due to the stupidity of the Duolo."

Count Conrad said with a smile.

The Austrians, who even beat the Pope during the war, of course, have little respect for the Vatican, in fact, the Papal States is the biggest obstacle for the Austrians to attack the Apennine Peninsula, as the legal heir of the Holy Roman Empire, Charles VI is also very clear that the old guy in the Vatican is destined to be one of the people he hates the most, and all kinds of humiliating performances on the issue of Yang Feng are also an important means for him to fight that old guy.

"Obviously you're all smart people."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
