Charlie's explanation to Yang Feng is simple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just a month after the beheading of the four Ming merchants in Istanbul, the combined Swedish Polish and Cossack forces, which had already been deployed in place, entered Bessarabia, which belonged to the Ottoman Empire, under the banner of the Ottoman Empire's brutal murder of employees of the Swedish Globe Company and the flagrant provocation of His Majesty's dignity of the Swedish King. Then the Grand Duke of Moldova did not hesitate to raise the anti-flag and break with Ahmet III, leading his army to throw himself under the banner of Charles XII, ending the Ottoman Empire's rule over this small country for more than two hundred years.

Less than a week later, the Grand Duke of Wallachia also shouted the slogan of fighting for God.

Then there is Transylvania.

It has been less than half a century since the vampire's hometown was completely conquered by the Ottomans, and their annual obligation to Ahmet III is only to pay money, a vassal fee of 200,000 gold coins, so what do you need to hesitate about when you look at the current situation?

In this way, it can be said that the sky in Eastern Europe changed almost overnight.

The Ottomans, on the other hand, were helpless, their elite were all thousands of miles away in Damascus, and although there were remaining troops in the north, they were simply not strong enough to counterattack, and the only option was to stick to a few strongholds and wait for Ahmet III to send them valuable reinforcements. Unfortunately, Ahmet III would never have been able to send them reinforcements, because at the same time that Charles XII was moving, their formidable old rival, Prince Eugen, who had completely ended their expansion in Europe, led the Austrian and HRE forces across the Danube and quickly conquered Belgrade, and then struck Sarajevo with a left hook to the cheers of the Serbs.

The latter was the core of Ottoman rule in the Balkans, the second largest city in the empire after Istanbul.

But even so, Ahmet III was unable to provide reinforcements to the city, because he had to cross the mountains of the Balkans on land, so the most effective means of transporting troops was by sea, but just as the Austrians began to move, the Venetian navy also entered the war. The Venetian navy, which had just purchased a large number of new naval guns from the Ming Dynasty, was not strong enough to control the sea in the Mediterranean, but there was still no pressure to control the Adriatic Sea.

And Charles XII and his newly acquired ally, the Grand Duke of Wallachia, locked up the inland passage from the Black Sea to the Danube.

The Ottomans were in mourning throughout the north.

"It's devastating!"

In the imperial palace in Beijing, Du You had a broken expression, looked at the latest control area of the European Christian coalition on the map, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This is indeed very disturbing, the speed of the fall of the Ottoman territory is almost catching up with the Kang Mazi of the year, whether it is the Swedish group or the Austrian group, it can be called like a bamboo, and even real battles rarely happen, basically how fast they march, how fast the Ottoman territory falls. The most exaggerated thing is that many places have not seen the European armies going south at all, so they directly killed the Ottoman garrison and even muslin in their homeland, and then sang and danced to cheer for liberation, especially Transylvania, and even the Swedish army did not enter this mountainous area at all, but the Grand Duke of Transylvania led tens of thousands of troops to kill out and join the ranks of the south.

And only twenty years ago, Ahmed III was a dark nightmare over Europe, and his army was even in Vienna.

"It's normal."

Emperor Yang said indifferently: "This is the result of different beliefs.

The Transylvanians profess the Catholicism of the Roman Church, the Moldovans and Wallachians profess the Orthodox Church, for them the Ottomans are pagan conquerors, and even for the Orthodox Christians, the Muslin is still the demon who destroyed their empire, they are just powerless to fight and have to give in, but as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, they still have to fight to get rid of the rule of this demon, and now their opportunity has come, of course, they must grasp it in their hands without hesitation.

The Ottoman Empire could not keep the Balkans.

This is an inevitable result.

Then Macedonia was still a Orthodox Christian, and Bulgaria was still the same, all of them belonged to the Yugoslavs, but there was a bit of trouble in Albania and Kosovo, where there were mixed Muslins and Catholics. In other words, the Ottoman Empire's 500 years of rule has made some achievements here, if they did not forcibly force the Albanians to convert to Lao Mu, at this time they would not even be able to hold out for a while in the Balkans, if they had forced everyone in the Balkans to convert, it is estimated that Ahmet would not have to worry at this time.

The mountains and warriors who fought there would turn the Balkans into a graveyard for Swedes and Austrians.

But it's a pity that it's too late to regret it.

So we can't make the mistake of them, and when we lay down a piece of land, we have to cleanse the land completely, and we don't allow any other faith, and all the temples of all other religions are demolished and burned, and no other writing is allowed, and all books, whatever kind of books, sculptures, and paintings, are destroyed, and nothing from their past is left. Those who don't want to be killed, those who don't want to be slaves, whoever dares to teach them the written history and other things in the past will be cut directly, and then they are not allowed to speak their past language, all of them must be changed to speak our language, and those who don't speak it will also die, at most a hundred years later, even if someone tells their descendants the true history, their descendants will not believe it, but will angrily denounce it as provoking with ulterior motives.

That's called conquest.

Or it is also called ethnic ronghe. ”

Well, his set of national rong theory made a group of generals suddenly open up, and they all bowed to the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor, of course, this is just an essential performance, this set of things and things The Ming army has been playing for many years, and now Java has begun to forcibly force those natives to speak Chinese. In those plantations, those who speak Chinese have meat to eat, and those who don't speak Chinese eat moldy rice alone, and they have to do the heaviest work, so even those women who are illiterate can communicate with their employers in Chinese. As for the children, because they are all in school, most of them have now forgotten their former language, and at this rate, it will take another hundred years, it is estimated that it will be about the same in twenty or thirty years.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Du You asked.

"Where did the Second Cavalry Army go?"

Yang Feng asked.

"The striker is almost to Najlan, but Guo Hong reported that there are many mountains, the road is very difficult to walk, and the enemy's resistance is very tenacious, if you continue to advance by land, the speed will definitely be very slow, so the best way is to transfer another part of the marines, and then attack from the flank. The habitable areas there are several oasis areas within a maximum of three or four hundred miles from the coast, and in this way they are cut off one by one, first cut and then attacked, and it is difficult for the Ottomans to supply themselves, and after cutting off, the flanks are in the vast desert and it is impossible to pass the supply, and those who resist will not be long before they can only rely on scimitars. ”

Du You said.

"No, let him move forward slowly, build the road if the road is not good, requisition those locals who have just returned to obedience, and repair the road first."

Yang Feng said.

He is not in a hurry, if he fights fast, he will leave a lot of hidden dangers, it is better to keep pushing forward little by little, tens of thousands of troops are moving forward slowly like a sweep, and everything he passes through is thoroughly cleaned up, and there are no hidden dangers left, as for Murad in the north......

He'll wait!

"Your Majesty, the Russians have done it."

At this time, a staff officer reported to him.

"Ah, we've got all the guests."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Of course, Peter will not miss this feast of partition, the relationship between him and Yang Feng is bad, but this does not prevent him from carving up the Ottomans with the Ming army, anyway, the place he wants to grab will not conflict with the Ming army, at most it is a little conflict with Charlie, but he is very smart to communicate with Charlie first. Charles, who did not want to fight on two fronts, was of course willing to shake hands with this opponent first, so the two families privately determined their respective goals, with the Severodonets River as the dividing line, the west of the Severodonets River to Charles, and the east of the Severodonets River to Peter, that is to say, the Crimea to Charles, and the Caucasus to Peter, after determining their respective spheres of influence, Peter's army immediately began to attack the Ottoman territories in their spheres of influence.

In fact, it was not just them, there was also private communication between the two Charlies.

Charles XII only had Bessarabia, Moldova, Wallachia, that is, the lower Danube plains east of the Carpathians and the Balkans, including Bulgaria next, and he was not able to support his army in fighting across these mountains anyway. After the Great Northern War, the part of Ukraine, formerly part of Russia, became Swedish territory, and as long as he conquered these places, continued to support the three archdukes of Moldova, Wallachia and Transylvania, and then annexed Bessarabia and the part west of the Severodonets River, then the harvest would be large enough.

And to the west of this line, that is, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, and to the west of Bosnia, Croatia, etc., which one was settled by the Austrians.

What Charles VI does with it after the fight is his own business, these are the territories directly under the Ottoman Empire, it is estimated that Charles VI will directly annex and then add a few more crowns to his head, and then leave a share to count as Venice. These guys are very smart, this is not to say that the wolf has more meat and less meat is not enough to share, this piece of fat is so big that it can not be swallowed at all, so the best way is to divide it first and then do it, otherwise it is not good to watch out for each other.

It is said that Ahmed III has such a group of neighbors, and it can be regarded as eight lifetimes of bad luck. (To be continued.) )
