Chapter 538: Angel of Death
Half a month later, the Greek people revolted with an uprising......
Or maybe it could be said that the fireworks put an end to their kingdom, and the warriors who overthrew the king met no resistance, except for being attacked by a dog when they poured into the palace, and then they expelled the king from Austria and proclaimed the Hellenic Republic, and only an hour later, the Parliament of the Hellenic Republic declared its submission to the Ming Empire, and abolished Orthodox Christianity, with Holy Religion as the only legal religion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
An hour later, the government of the Ming Empire announced that His Majesty the Emperor had accepted the naturalization of the Greek people and made the lands of the Hellenic Republic a direct direct domain of the Imperial Greeks.
Then, another hour later, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire issued a decree to canonize 26 meritorious personnel in the process of naturalization in Greece as foreign vassals, and almost all the Greek lands, including Athens, were divided among these 26 people, and only a few small islands were reserved for the construction of His Majesty's palace under the royal family. These people include ten barons, eight viscounts, six counts and two marquises, who will rule their respective fiefs for generations, pay a certain amount of dragon yuan to His Majesty the Emperor every year, the army of the empire has the right to station or move freely within its borders, and the people of the empire enjoy various political and economic privileges including extraterritoriality and tax exemption within its borders, and then His Majesty the Ming Emperor can ensure that their rule will continue for generations.
In this way, Greece was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Then the next step is to cleanse all the dross left over from the old times, let the spring breeze from the east blow all over the ancient Greek land, God will be gone, Zeus and the gods of Olympus will be gone, the ancient temples will be razed, the glorious myths will be buried in history, the great works of Homer will be buried in the ashes, the legend of the Three Hundred Warriors will be completely forgotten, everything, all the old culture and history, heroes and gods will be overshadowed, and the land will be bathed in the glory of the Holy Religion and the Emperor......
Chinese characters will become their only script.
Chinese will also be their only language.
The Book of the Divine Oracles is their only book.
And that's just the beginning.
Just a month later, an uprising broke out in Bulgaria, also during the last siege of the Ottomans, and the Grand Duke of the Vassar dynasty of Sweden was expelled, and then the newly established Republic of Bulgaria was subordinated to the Ming Empire, and soon this small country, which was actually equivalent to the northern half of modern Bulgaria, was divided into twenty-one foreign feudal states, officially becoming the territory of the Ming Empire.
Of course, they also converted to the Holy Religion.
The Balkan countries were already very confused on the issue of faith, they had previously converted to Orthodox Christianity under the rule of the Byzantine Empire, but after the rise of the Ottoman Empire, they ruled the land, and then Islam mixed strongly, and the people were already chaotic in terms of faith, and it was also easier to change the wall in this situation. What's more, their kings are all foreigners, and even the kings don't believe in Orthodox Christianity, of course, those local tyrants are not interested in defending any kings, and Yang Feng gave them what they wanted, and even their rights to the territory exceeded the king's time. In the time of the king, they still had to abide by the laws of the country, but under the rule of the Ming Empire, as long as they obeyed the obligations of the vassals, the rest of them were to restore the right of the first night, so why didn't they surrender? These little miscellaneous fish were not qualified to participate in this kind of game in the first place, could they still be expected to fight with the Ming army?
They're not that stupid.
In addition to faith, they have nothing worth protecting at all, as for faith, God really wants to exist, and at this time, it should be a thunderbolt to kill Yang Feng!
"God is with us!"
In Tsaritsyn, in front of a magnificent Orthodox church, a priest in a church robe shouted with all his might with a Bible in his hand.
In front of him, countless soldiers and civilians knelt and prayed silently, praying that God would come down to save them, at this time the nearest Ming army was less than fifty versts, and even here you could faintly hear the explosion on the front line of the Don River, the Ming army of a whole group army was attacking there, and more than 100,000 Russian troops were stubbornly defending those dark bunkers and trenches, blocking the advance of the Ming army with their lives.
Another Ming army group, on the other hand, was coming along the Volga, and the advance was also less than fifty versts from here.
The city will face a bloody battle.
In fact, this is also the decisive battle place chosen by Peter, this city is too important, once Tsaritsyn falls, the Ming army's river boats can even sail to Moscow, the Moscow River, the Gaoka River and the Volga River constitute a complete water transport system, through these rivers flowing gently on the East European Plain, even the Ming army's thousand-ton large inland river warships, can easily go upstream, all the core cities of Russia along the line are bombarded into ruins, Simbirsk, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan and even Moscow are not spared.
And the Ming Dynasty had already built a shipyard on the southern shore of the Black Sea three years ago, transported all kinds of machines and raw materials by rail, and then built countless diesel-engine river boats, and even these ships were able to transport an army of marines to land, once the passage of Tsaritsyn was opened, these river boats would all pour into the Volga River and swim upstream.
So Tsaritsyn must hold on.
But how to keep it here?
The Ming army had heavy artillery, machine guns, rapid-fire rifles with breeches, grenades, flamethrowers, rocket artillery, and what about them?
"God is with us, justice is with us, light is with us, this is the decisive battle between justice and evil, this is the decisive battle between light and darkness, God's faithful people, do not be afraid and do not be cowardly, the glory of God shines on us, the devil will eventually be sent to hell by us, we will win at the end, and all the warriors who fight for God will enter the kingdom of heaven to enjoy eternal glory......"
The yelling priest suddenly shut up.
At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the sky above him in astonishment, a strange buzzing sound was coming, and the soldiers and civilians who were praying also raised their heads, and looked at the sky behind them in unison, and a red thing drilled out of a white cloud above them, with a more and more clear buzzing sound, getting bigger and bigger in their field of vision, a pair of red wings swaying slightly, and looking extremely beautiful with their backs to the dazzling sun.
"Angel, angel has come!"
The priest roared like madness.
Then he threw himself to the ground desperately, looking at the thing reverently, while his mouth kept reciting the words of the Bible, and even tears of excitement broke down in his eyes, and it was clear to him that God and his old man had finally struck!
The believers cheered as well.
It was at this time that the red angel came to the top of their heads, but as the distance approached, people gradually saw its appearance, with double wings on both sides, and there seemed to be something in front of it that kept turning, with a round barrel-like body, it was obvious that if this thing was an angel, the angel image in the church was too far apart, and this thing looked like a machine, including the priest was also at a loss, everyone was looking at it, watching it get bigger and bigger, and even big enough to see a person on it, See the round ...... on that thing
The dragon hugs the sun and the moon!
Suddenly, the cheers turned into exclamations.
And at the same time, the head of the thing was lowered, and then a little fire lit up in his head, and the whistle of the bullet burst through the air, and the priest looked at the sky stupidly, and the blood continued to explode from him, and he trembled at the impact of the bullet, and fell to the sky with a kind of despair, and behind him the bullet smashed the icon of the cross to pieces.
"Mah, it's too late!"
On the reconnaissance plane of the Ming army in the sky, the pilot said speechlessly.
Then he maneuvered the biplane over the spire of the church, pulled it up and flew upside down as fast as he could, then deftly rolled over, pushed the joystick and dived down, the moment of the dive, he pulled the trigger of the machine gun in front of him, the latest air-cooled machine gun sprayed flames again, and the bullet passed through the propeller like a whip among the Russians below.
The latter immediately blew up the nest.
This weapon, which was beyond their imagination, was suddenly regarded as a devil by the vast majority of illiterate gray cattle, and then they scattered in terror and ran in terror, crowding each other and trampling each other to create a tragedy, and the constant bullets in the sky turned this tragedy into a disaster......
"One reconnaissance plane killed a thousand Russians?"
Two hours later, in the headquarters of the Ming Army's Seventh Army on the banks of the Don River, He Feng, commander of the Seventh Army, said in astonishment.
"Not all killed."
His chief of staff said with a smile: "At that time, the Russians were gathering, and the plane strafing caused a riot, although the number of people killed was certainly not more than a hundred, but the death caused by the stampede during the riot was more than 1,000, which is estimated, but it should be about the same, and the photo he flew back to take after that has just been washed out, according to the number of dead bodies left on the ground taken in the photo, it should not be less than 1,000." ”
"Even a hundred is amazing!"
He Feng said.
Indeed, until now in the minds of the generals of the Ming army, these big kites made of wood and plywood are just toys, and they are of no use at all except for reconnaissance, and the machine gun and shooting regulator are only what the emperor wants, but now they did not expect this small toy to be so fierce.
"Order, take off all the reconnaissance planes belonging to the army group air force, do not go to reconnaissance, and go directly to the front line to strafe the trenches of the Russians!"
Then he said.
An hour later, the latest news came that 12 reconnaissance planes belonging to the Seventh Army Air Force were behind the Russian battle line, simply using machine guns to strafe in the air, easily crushing a brigade of reinforcements of the Russian army, not only killing no less than 300 Russian troops, but also completely scattering the entire brigade.
"It's a pity that there are too few planes, and the fire of a machine gun is too weak, and there are pilots who rarely conduct such training, so the hit rate of shooting is relatively low."
The chief of staff said with a smile.
"Then we need more planes, put more machine guns on the planes, design special sights, and even build bigger planes, just like airships, simply bring bombs, and send a report to the General Staff, saying that I want to send another fifty planes to the Seventh Army, which is not as expensive as a three-inch gun!" Twelve planes in one army group is too little! ”
He Feng said.
Indeed, airplanes are very cheap, wood and plywood are of course cheap, and the most expensive engine in the whole body is not as expensive as a three-inch gun, so the General Staff gave it to him very happily, so the first full-time attack aircraft brigade of the Ming Dynasty was born.
"He's got a lot of ideas."
Yang Feng is very satisfied with this news, which means that the development of the Daming Air Force has officially started, and in the final analysis, the airship will be eliminated after all.
"It's just that the plane is too small."
Chen Lie said.
"Then build a big one, now the best aero engine of the Kunpeng company has reached 300 horsepower, install two engines, make the plane stronger, it is estimated that there is no problem with hanging a few hundred pounds of bombs, so that you can build a special bomber." Even if you only use one engine, build an airplane that uses two or even three machine guns, and hang a bomb of 100 catties, it is no problem, anyway, this thing is not valuable, and there is wood, so we can simply build more, and our oil production is enough, and we can directly set up a special air force, equipped with thousands of such things, and we can bomb whoever we want within 500 miles or even 1,000 miles, and we don't need to consider the restrictions of the land defense line at all. We can even build a special one to transport soldiers, one plane can transport ten soldiers, a thousand planes can transport ten thousand soldiers, put parachutes on the backs of these soldiers, fly directly to the rear of the enemy and jump down, imagine what it means to suddenly have 10,000 soldiers fall from the sky at the enemy's rear transportation hub? Even in the future technological development, if we have a thousand or even a thousand horsepower engines, won't it be possible to create an aircraft with several tons or even a dozen tons of bombs? Then we can drop bombs directly on Moscow here, and what is the point of the enemy's defense line on the ground at that time? ”
Yang Feng said.
"Wouldn't that be enough to defeat the enemy by bombing alone?"
Chen Lie said in amazement.
"But I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no one worthy of being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!"
Then he added.
In the current situation, after the completion of the Western Expedition, the whole of Europe will be all Ming Dynasty, so who will be worthy of Ming as an enemy in the future? Could it be the in the African bush? Or the natives of South America, the messy waste of India?
"Enemies? The enemy will never be lacking. ”
Yang Feng said lightly.
"Your Majesty, it's time to Ying'en Harbor!"
Then the squire came and spoke.
"Change!"
Yang Feng stood up and said.
And at this moment, the steamship under his feet began to whistle, and a port on the coast in front of him appeared, and there were countless subjects who greeted him, including a group of young women and girls wearing the robes of the county king, Lori was particularly eye-catching, this is the twelve feudal kings of the original Persian and Ottoman territories, of course, in addition to the identity of the king of the Ming Dynasty, they also have their own princess status of the Ming Dynasty.
This is Ying'en Harbor.
Or the original name of Baku Port.
