628. War Trading

Since the Norman landing, the only thing that can stop the Chinese army is Europa's terrible road system. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although Europa built a large number of roads during the Roman Empire, after the barbarian invasion, those roads also decayed along with the glory of the Roman Empire.

Yue Yun squinted his eyes, looked at this shit-like road, and shook his head: "It's still the same sentence, this bird place is really a tattered place, tasteless to eat, it's a pity to abandon it!" ā€

"Tuan Zheng's words are not right, there is nothing else in this place, at least there are still a lot of people. Tsk, it is said that the plague killed nearly half of us a few years ago, but we still caught a lot of them. Next to him, his deputy Liu Huai knew.

Liu Huai's father and grandparents are also generals in the Western Army, and Yue Yun, they are all considered to be the leaders of the Mesozoic Era in the Chinese Army, and his father Liu Qi once sighed and said that if Liu Huai could have been born more than ten years earlier and followed Zhou Quan, then he could now be a senior official at the level of military commander. After all, the official position is limited, and it is not uncommon for military commanders in their twenties in Yue Fei's generation, but in Yue Yun's generation, it is already a fast promotion to be able to reach the regiment at the age of thirty.

"Some people just take the initiative to vote...... Also, this place is poor, the people have no food and clothing, no cold clothing, no sympathy for the people, and there are orthodox churches here, and it is normal for the people's minds to change. ā€

The prisoners of war captured in their camps had enough food and could be treated for their injuries and diseases, and this treatment made many Europa serfs abandon their land and would rather be prisoners and become serfs in another place than continue to live a completely hopeless life.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Yue Yun and Liu Huai were chatting without saying a word, and the guards suddenly shouted.

A moment later, I saw a knight in armor running over with a dozen squires.

One of the attendants, Yue Yun and Liu Huai, knew each other, was an Englishman, and he respectfully learned from the Chinese to bow his hand to Yue Yun and Liu Huai, and then said a few words to the knight in armor.

The knight immediately dismounted with the help of his attendants, then pushed up his mask, bowed to Yue Yun, and muttered a lot.

The British are translators, and the translation of his words into Chinese is nothing more than some compliments, but I have to say that the Europa people in ignorance, even the compliments seem to be of a very low level, and the rhetoric is boring, and there are just a few words over and over again.

"The viscount wants to be confirmed, is the Huaxia Empire really willing to support him in restoring his legitimate property?" The British knew the habits of the Huaxia Army, and after talking nonsense, they immediately got to the point.

"Of course, these are all proofs of our support for him." Yue Yun didn't bother to speak, and Liu Huai next to him smiled and pointed to the oiled paper bag in front of him.

The oil paper bags are full of guns and cannons, these are the recent seizures of the Huaxia Army, and these broken copper and iron are even suspicious for the Huaxia Army to return to the furnace to make steel, let alone use them to fight.

So with Yue Fei's consent, the Huaxia army launched a new business, giving these broken copper and iron to the nobles who had lost power, and encouraged them to arm themselves against Frederick and Wanyan Liang.

"So what do we need to do for the Chinese Empire?"

The viscount was rude, but not stupid, and of course knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"First, you must declare war on Frederick, and second, you can exchange the prisoners for more guns." Liu Huai laughed twice.

There was some ill-will in this voice.

Let the Europa people kill each other, and Huaxia is responsible for providing them with weapons to kill each other, and they exchange them for gold, silver, or population. After the first round of cannibalism, the winner of course hopes to have a greater advantage, while the loser wants to regain the disadvantage, and will inevitably come to curry favor with Huaxia, hoping that Huaxia will provide them with more weapons.

Trafficking arms and war to these countries that like to make trouble everywhere, Zhou Quan does not have any psychological burden. He hoped that by instigating Europa's war and plundering Europa's population, it would take thirty or fifty years to completely destroy this alien civilization.

Just as in the history where Zhou Quan was originally located, the Europa people did to the indigenous people of Africa and the Americas.

"Yes, Frederick joined forces with the devil and was our enemy in the first place!" When the viscount saw these nearly 100 guns, his face was already flushed with excitement, and he said with his hands dancing.

A hundred guns was not much, but it was enough to arm the viscount and his men.

Seeing this viscount and his attendants leaving with broken copper and iron, Yue Yun and Liu Huai both smiled.

Of course, these people could not defeat Frederick, but they were enough to cause great trouble for Frederick and destroy Frederick's strategic arrangement.

Frederick the Redbeard, King of Germany, Holy Roman Emperor, receives dozens of bad news every day, but he is still able to eat and drink in large bowls of meat - the meat is his own, and the wine is bought from the Jin Kingdom, which has only learned a little bit of the technology of China, but it is enough to dump many luxuries and hobbies on Europa.

"Your Majesty, we have to think of a way!"

The Duke of Austria Leopold was not as easy as Frederick, after Frederick imitated the Jin State, strengthened the centralization of power, and forcibly implemented the county system in Germany, the Duke of Austria only became a title, but there was no actual fief, so Leopold's glory and wealth were completely tied to Germany, that is, the Holy Roman Empire. He is actually equivalent to a prime minister, and although this power cannot be hereditary, it can be regarded as a beauty difference.

At least if China rules Europa, Leopold doesn't want to have that power anymore.

"Don't worry, the Chinese have only come with 30,000, our British allies have long said that they don't have many people, and it is impossible to rule the whole of Europa, what we need now is to let them control more places, and then disperse their forces, while we clench our fists with our allies and give them a heavy blow."

Frederick, one of Europa's most prominent military generals at this time, responded to Leopold's words as he grabbed chickpeas and ate them.

If, as was the custom of some people in the past, he grabbed beans and meat with his hands covered with oil, and would put them under the table for the dogs to lick clean, and then he would go to grab other dishes - Hugh would have thought that the kings of Europa in the Middle Ages could have any manners and civilization, and Europa at this time was almost obscurant, and the dawn of the Renaissance would not appear until three hundred years.

"Your Majesty, is this the suggestion of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom?" Leopold asked.

"No, this is what I came up with after reading the military books of the Chinese people translated by Jin Guo." Frederick said with a little smugness: "If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy, and there is such a saying. ā€

Wan Yanliang led the Jin Kingdom to the west, and to some extent did what Zhou Quan wanted to do but failed to do, he used arquebuses and cannons to bring Chinese culture to Europe. Among them, it includes both the way of Confucius and Mencius, as well as the Art of War.

"But Your Majesty, I have also read their military books, and there is a sentence in them that the enemy should be speculated from the most powerful point of view. The emperor of the Huaxia Empire, who was able to defeat the powerful Jin State, should not have made such a low-level mistake......"

Before Leopold's words were finished, there was a sudden bang outside, the sound of dangdang's armor, and then a knight walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, the news from the Kingdom of Jin...... Their capital, Constantinople, was captured by the Chinese! ā€

"What, didn't they say that from the Great Eclipse to Constantine had become a place of death?"

Frederick changed color in shock, because that meant that the Kingdom of Jin might not be able to provide him with assistance!

It was Yang Zaixing who captured Constantine.

Zhou Quan ordered Yue Fei to be the commander-in-chief for the expedition, of course, he would not ignore the Jin State, originally Zhou Quan just ordered Yang Zaixing to put pressure on the Jin State in the east, forcing the Jin State to not fully support the west, but Yang Zaixing turned the auxiliary attack into the main attack, sent a pure cavalry force, took advantage of the summer, spent half a year bypassing the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, entered the Jin State, and directly took Constantine, the eastern capital of the Jin State, and seized this strategic chokepoint!

Although the road detoured a little longer this expedition, it avoided the plague no man's land caused by Dashi and Persia when Yan Liang fled west, and it was taken by surprise, so although the mobilized troops were not much, only more than 3,000 people, it still achieved Yang Zaixing's goal!

Of course, he also faced a frantic counterattack from the Kingdom of Jin, and it was not easy for these 3,000 people to defend the city of Constantine.

After asking about this, Frederick was a little relieved, but then the second bad news came: Gibraltar and Ceuta were occupied by the Chinese army after shelling, and the Chinese army opened the gateway to the Mediterranean, and with its naval superiority, the entire Mediterranean Sea would become a sea area for the Chinese army to travel freely.

This would also put tremendous pressure on the Jin state, whose central capital was Athens on the edge of the Mediterranean, and the Apennine Peninsula, where its important industrial center was located, was also under the threat of the Chinese navy's artillery.

"Isn't Gibraltar known as an unbreakable fortress, how can the Kingdom of Jin lose its defense if it has placed five hundred artillery pieces there?" Frederick could not understand that, in his opinion, the defensive position of 500 guns was completely impregnable and difficult to penetrate, but the Jin people only held there for 12 days before surrendering this key gate to the Huaxia army.

This was not the last bad news, but with the fact that the old aristocracy rebelled or declared neutrality in the areas occupied by the Jin Kingdom, and even within Germany, the nobles who did not submit to Frederick's iron-fisted methods began to move.

Frederick understood that it was the Chinese who gave these guys confidence.

His strategy of luring the enemy deep and clearing the field was completely bankrupt, because the Huaxia army would only go out in person when it was a tough battle, and more often, it still instigated the old nobles of Europa to rebel against Jin and Germany.

Frederick also tried to sweep away these rebellious nobles, but the number of troops sent out was too small to achieve the effect, and the more troops sent out often faced the elite troops of the Chinese army. As the succession progressed, the territory and population he could directly control became smaller and smaller, and the number of rebellious nobles increased.

If it weren't for the fact that these rebellious nobles were not monolithic, and fought with each other in the same bloodshed, his German kingdom would have been reverted to its original form and fell back into disintegration.

He had no choice but to engage in a decisive battle with the Huaxia Army!
