Chapter 345: The Conquest of Europe (Final Chapter)
Emperor Wanli and the others have left, and only Wang Pu and Wang Fafu are left in the study
Wang Fa looked at Wang Pu with some anger and asked, "Dad, why are you doing this?" Why do you want to return military power to Emperor Wanli? Do you know the consequences of this? Now that your old man is alive, of course they don't dare to do anything to our Wang family, but after a hundred years of your old man's family, they will let our Wang family go
"Them?" Wang Pu said coldly, "Who are they?" โ
Wang Fa said: "Of course it's a royal person. โ
Wang Pu said: "What can the royal people do to the Wang family?" โ
Wang Fa said: "Of course, you can't do anything to the Wang family now, but what about your old man after a hundred years?" They have military power in their hands, will they let us go? โ
"Soldiers?" Wang Pu sneered, "Father Wei has made it clear in front of everyone just now, the emperor is only the nominal supreme commander of the imperial ** team, and without the support of the cabinet and the two houses of the National Assembly, he will not be able to mobilize a single soldier at all." โ
Wang Fa hurriedly said: "But ......"
"Nothing." Wang Pu's slightly closed old eyes opened and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that your father doesn't know your thoughts, don't you just want to have the same power as your father?" Now the Father can tell you unambiguously that you don't have that qualification! The reason why my father divided the military power into three pieces is to prevent you from monopolizing power! โ
Wang Fa lowered his head and said curtly: "Father, the child is also for the sake of the Wang family......
"Shut up." Wang Pu scolded very unceremoniously, "If you really want the good of the Wang family, then do what your father wants." What's so good about being an emperor? Today you can seize the throne of the Zhu family with great power, and tomorrow other families will also take the throne of your royal family with great power. You go back and think about it, when you figure it out, when you go to the cabinet office. โ
Wang Fa was taken aback when he heard this. Listening to what Wang Pu meant, he couldn't figure it out. Then the head of the cabinet will have to be replaced.
"Grandpa. Grandpa, you're angry
The atmosphere in the study suddenly became a little solemn. It was at this time. A childish child's voice floated in with a child. The child who came in was about six or seven years old. Looks like a tiger. The little guy tuba Wang Zhi. The Milk Name Prince. It is the grandson of the head of the Wang family. Wang Fadi's grandson. Wang Pudi's great-grandson.
"Hey. Good Zhi'er is here. Wang Pudi's old face immediately burst into laughter. Stretched out his dry hands and hugged Wang Zhi. "Come on. Grandpa hugged ......"
Wang Zhi stretched out his hand and put his arms around Wang Pudi's neck. kissed Wang Puhuai's bark-like old face twice. said: "Grandpa." Mom said she couldn't be angry. Being angry is not good for the body. โ
"Hey. Zhi'er is really sensible. Wang Pu stretched out his hand and twisted Wang Zhidi's little face. Then he turned his head to look at Wang Fashi. His face was a little gloomy. Said. "Not like some people. A lot of people are already grandfathers. But I still don't know right from wrong. I don't understand the reason. All day long I only think about my own selfish desires......"
Three days later.
In front of all the cabinet officials, members of the two sessions, and hundreds of thousands of Nanjing people, Wang Pu handed over the gold-inlaid saber symbolizing the identity of the supreme commander of the Central Army to the Wanli Emperor, and at the same time announced to the world the separation of powers proposed by Wang Pu, and clarified the functions and powers of the emperor, the cabinet, and the National Assembly.
On the same day, the separation of powers was written into the Ming Law, which was the constitution of the Ming Empire.
From this day on, the political structure of the separation of powers in the Ming Empire was officially established.
The Emperor is the supreme head of the empire and the supreme commander of the armed forces of the empire, but he does not have the right to administer and can only exercise the power of the supreme commander in major circumstances such as when the empire or the nation is threatened.
The cabinet is the actual administrator of the empire and has the right to dismiss the emperor's order to transfer the armed forces, but similarly, the two houses of the Diet also have the right to pass a resolution to impeach the cabinet chief, and once the majority is passed, the cabinet chief assistant must step down.
Therefore, in fact, the two houses of parliament are the highest power institutions of the empire, which is consistent with Wang Pu's original intention, as a traverser, Wang Pu knows that the more concentrated the power, the easier it is to have problems, and only by dispersing the supreme power to the relative majority of the people, the country and the nation are not prone to major problems.
In this way, politics will be stable, and there will be no major problems for the country and the nation, but the three major forces of the Congress, the Cabinet, and the Emperor will inevitably quarrel with each other and tilt each other into each other, and the efficiency of governments at all levels will inevitably be greatly reduced.
If the Ming Empire is a poor, backward, and weak country, such a political system is a disaster, which can only make the empire weaker and weaker, but fortunately, the current Ming Empire is the most powerful empire in the world, and both military strength and political strength are far better than the rest of the world combined.
This is just like the United States, the world hegemon of later generations, although because of the problems of the democratic system, the two parties have been fighting and fighting each other one after another, but with their economic strength and super-first-class military strength, which are much higher than those of other countries, the Americans can still live a leisurely and comfortable life by sucking the blood and sweat of the people of the world
In this world, the Ming Empire, which was at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was much stronger in relative strength than the United States in later generations, because in 333 years of the Ming calendar, among all the billion-and-fifty million people in the world, the Han population accounted for 960 million, and the Ming Empire accounted for ninety percent of the world's GDP.
Wang Pu is already ninety-two years old, a few sparse white flowers on his head have almost fallen off, his face like locust bark is covered with old age spots, the old guy can no longer walk on his own, he has to rely on people to support him, and the scene of abandonment has shrouded this great man who once called for wind and rain on the territory of the empire.
A cold wave from Siberia has swept through the south of the Yangtze River. The whole of Gangnam is covered in snow.
It was easy to wait for the sunny day, and the old guy came out to bask in the sun with the support of the maid. As far as the eye can see, there is a piece of silver makeup in Changyuan. Overhead, the sky was as clear as if it had been washed, without a trace of blemish, and the old man curled up and lay motionless on his back on the soft couch.
The old fellow looked like he was dying, and all his life force had retreated into those cloudy eyes.
Only the closest people around Wang Pu know. Wang Pu still has a wish to be fulfilled, and he will never close his eyes until this wish is over, and this wish is to conquer Europe!
Seven months ago, the 200,000 Central Army under the leadership of Imperial Marshals Li Dingxi and Tang Haodi went on an expedition to Europe in two routes, and the northern route was led by Li Dingxi, the left marshal of the Empire. From the railway line to Qucheng, and then through Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Prussia to the south attack, the southern route led by the right marshal of the empire Tang Hao. With the cooperation of the navy, it landed in the southern part of the Italian peninsula through the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, and then crossed the Apennines. Climb over the Alps and attack north.
According to the operational plan of the General Staff. The armies of the north and south will eventually meet in France, once the two armies have met. That means that the whole of Europe has been humiliated by the iron heel of the Ming Empire.
At that time, the military power of the whole Europe was the strongest in Britain and France, Britain had a strong navy, and France had a strong land army, if it was not for Wang Pu, if there was no Longwu Zhongxing, if the world was still developing according to the original historical trajectory, Britain would definitely become the hegemon of the sea, and France would become the premier land power on the European continent, especially when Napoleon's war maniac appeared.
It is a pity that with Wang Pu's crossing, Britain and France will never have a chance to become world hegemons.
Wang Pu raised his head and looked fixedly at an old plane tree above his head, there was still a dead leaf hanging on the tree, constantly swaying in the wind, somehow, Wang Pu's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable sadness, he felt that his life was like this dead leaf, which could follow at any time
Calculating the time, there should be news of the expedition to Europe and the two armies
Li Dingxi's army on the northern route was marching along the road towards Paris.
The expedition went very smoothly, seven months ago, 150,000 troops set out from the base camp of Qucheng (Yekajielina Fort), it took less than half a month to occupy Moscow, Russia announced its surrender, after the destruction of Russia, Li Dingxi immediately organized Russian laborers to repair the railway between Qucheng and Moscow.
As early as more than ten years ago, the Ming Empire assisted European countries to build tens of thousands of miles of railways in the name of friendship, from Moscow in Northern Europe to Lisbon on the coast of Western Europe.
A year ago, the empire built a railway from Beijing to Qucheng, which is like a major artery, in a short period of time, a large number of soldiers and materials from the north and south of the capital to Qucheng in a steady stream, only in less than half a year, the Ming Empire in Qucheng gathered 150,000 troops and enough 150,000 troops to consume food, weapons and ammunition for three years!
When everything was ready, the 150,000 Ming Central Army under the leadership of Li Dingxi brazenly crossed the Ural Mountains and launched a lightning attack on Europe, and Europe at that time was still a basin of scattered sand, and the melee between countries continued, I have to say that the diplomatic work of the Ming Empire's Ministry of Rites did an extremely good job, and successfully provoked a melee between European countries.
Therefore, when the 150,000 Ming Central Army launched a devastating onslaught on Russia, the surrounding countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland and other countries were either fighting or were unwilling to send troops to rescue them with a sense of schadenfreude.
After the destruction of Russia, Li Dingxi immediately arrested laborers in Russia, and together with the hundreds of thousands of Japanese slaves, Indian slaves and black slaves imprisoned in the Qucheng concentration camp, they rushed to repair the railway from Qucheng to Moscow.
At the same time as rushing to repair the railway. Li Dingxi did not stop conquering Europe, and the 150,000-strong army launched an all-out attack on the hinterland of Europe in three ways. The Northern Route Army, with about 20,000 troops, went west to attack Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The Southern Route Army of about 30,000 people attacked in the direction of Transcaucasia, Iran, and the Ottoman Empire, and Li Dingxi personally led an army of 100,000 troops into Ukraine and Poland.
The three-way army swept across Europe in less than half a year, destroying countless countries, and at the same time. The Ming Empire's colonial corps in Central Asia, the Middle East, East Africa, and India also cooperated with the Central Army to launch attacks in Iran, the Ottomans, and the Caucasus in Central Asia.
Six months later, the Imperial Northern Route Army led by Li Dingxi basically swept away the countries of Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and West Asia, conquered nearly 10 million square kilometers of territory, and also built a subway line between Qucheng and Moscow, of course. The railway line was covered with the bones of Japanese, Indian, black and Russian slaves, and according to later historians, the railway was built in six months. More than half a million laborers collapsed on the construction site due to overwork, and it is no exaggeration to say that. The railroad was made entirely of the bones of slaves.
After sweeping the continents of Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, Li Dingxi went straight down. Advance into East Prussia.
In East Prussia, the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty finally met with strong resistance. France, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Prussia, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and other countries amassed more than a million allied troops and deployed heavily on the west bank of the Danube.
Although Li Dingxi was not afraid of the more than one million European coalition troops, he did not dare to take it lightly.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li Dingxi temporarily stopped the pace of going south, waited for Tang Haodi's army on the south route to launch a fatal blow to the back of European countries, and then destroyed the million-dollar coalition army on the other side of the Danube with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, so the situation on the battlefield on the northern front temporarily fell silent.
While Li Dingxi's army swept through the continents of Northern and Eastern Europe, Tang Haodi's army on the southern route made slow progress.
Although the navy of the Ming Empire thwarted the combined fleet of the Royal Navy of England and the Spanish Navy and won the Mediterranean Naval Battle, Tang Haodi's 50,000 troops also landed successfully at the southern tip of the Apennine Peninsula, but at the foot of the Alps, they were met with stubborn resistance from the British and French forces.
Coupled with the steep mountains of the Alps, which were not conducive to the passage of artillery and the march of large troops, Tang Hao led the army to storm for two months but made no progress, and as a last resort, Tang Hao could only report to the General Staff for approval, changed the battle plan, and the army landed again on the eastern coast of Spain, and then attacked southwest France.
The appearance of the southern route army made it difficult for Spain and France to parry, because all the armies of the two countries had already gathered on the Danube front to resist Li Dingxi's northern route army, and the southern route army, which did not encounter much resistance, swept through the northeast of Spain and the southwest of France, and the front of the army was directed at Paris.
Almost at the same time, the Northern Route Army, which had been confronting the European coalition forces on the east bank of the Danube for nearly two months, also launched a fierce attack, and Li Dingxi concentrated 20 artillery battalions and 4,000 artillery pieces to bombard the middle of the European coalition forces, dumping more than 400,000 shells on less than three square kilometers of land in just two hours.
After the shelling ended, the land on the west bank of the Danube River was like being plowed by an iron plough, not a single inch of grass grows, and even crops could be planted directly, and the more than 200,000 European coalition troops originally assembled in this area suffered heavy casualties, and as soon as the shelling ended, the Ming Central Army, which had been waiting for a long time, stepped on the ice and crossed the river with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, like a sharp steel knife cutting into the gap in the middle of the European coalition forces that were blown up.
Although the European coalition army at that time was already equipped with a large number of muskets, there were also a lot of artillery, but they were all primitive and backward flintlock pistols and breech guns, therefore, in essence, the European coalition army was a complete cold weapon army, and the cold weapon army had one of the most significant characteristics, that is, it relied heavily on the integrity of the formation, once a local formation was disrupted, then the riot would quickly spread to the entire army, and then the huge army would collapse in a very short time like an avalanche.
The million European coalition army seems to be strong, but it is actually a cold-weapon army, and the composition is complex, from more than a dozen different European countries, lack of tacit understanding between each other, lack of coordination, different levels of training, different levels of equipment, and the will to fight, therefore, when the middle of the coalition army was broken through by the Ming Central Army, the entire formation quickly collapsed
After the Danube fiasco, the countries of Europe completely lost their ability to resist.
Since then, Li Dingxi's army on the North Road and Tang Hao's army on the South Road have been like two big iron tongs of crabs, one south and one north are fiercely sandwiched towards the heart of the European continent - Paris!
Two months later, the armies of the north and south successfully joined forces under the city of Paris.
Three days later, the French Emperor Louis XIV announced his surrender, so far, the Ming Central Army has also completely conquered the European continent, more than 40 million whites on the European continent have completely become the slaves of the Han nation, although the British Isles are still surviving, but it is like a grasshopper after the autumn, it has not been able to reach for a few days, just wait for the situation on the European continent to calm down, and the Central Army can destroy it with its hands free.
In the next few decades, all the white men on the European continent were sent to the Ming Empire to work as laborers after castration, and a large number of Han men poured into the European continent and married the white women here as wives and concubines. More because their paternal bloodline is Han!
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 336th year of the Ming calendar, Wang Pu, who had been in the limelight all his life, finally entered the dying moment, struggling all night, when the New Year's bell rang through Nanjing City, the old guy finally swallowed that breath and left for a long time! Just two hours after the old guy took his last breath, an express delivery from Europe was delivered to Nanjing, but unfortunately...... Wang Pu can't see it anymore, and he will never see it......
Conclusion:
It's over, some regrets, some unwillingness.
Later in the Age of Discovery, the conquest of Japan, the conquest of India, and the conquest of Europe did not expand to write at all, and there are many readers who don't like this pure YY plot, but there are also a lot of readers who like this mouth, and from a personal point of view, I hope to continue to expand to write, but I can't continue
As we all know, the book has been fiercely attacked by the "Manchurian" from the very beginning, and from the time the book was published to the end, there has been no interruption in reports and complaints, the website has been warned by phone several times, the Shanghai Internet Supervisor has also had a "record" of the book, and the five groups of editors, the goblin boss, have also "tactfully" reminded me several times: The book can be written on and on, and I don't need to pay attention to the flies, but the text about the genocide is still brushed aside
The swordsman was at a loss......
The emotional drama of this book was originally unsuccessful, and the war scenes were all one-sided because of the appearance of firearms, and there was nothing to write about at all, if you couldn't even write about genocide, then what was left to watch? Do readers still have the ** to read? Stripped of genocide, I don't know what to write anyway......
So, let's end it, only the end
Everyone has seen the structure of this book, the scene is not big, since the defeat of Jiannu in Jining, the plot has begun to shrink, and now it is a pity to press such an ending, but it is not anticlimactic, of course, there is no absolute, some readers will definitely not be satisfied, and they will definitely curse.
Scold it, scold it, people are messing around in the rivers and lakes, how can you not be stabbed?
Since he came out to write a book, he will inevitably be scolded, and the swordsman will admit it.
In the next book, I won't write history, but I'll rewrite it all over the air.
If I write history, no matter which dynasty or generation, it will definitely end up being a genocide, no way, who made me a Han nationalist? But people like me, writers like me, are incompatible with the current mainstream culture and the current policy of national harmony, so I'd better restrain myself.
Personally, I'm not afraid of being locked up in a small black room, but I can't let my family suffer, and I can't let my son be a man in front of the kindergarten children.
So,Please forgive those readers who have been supporting the swordsman.,Please continue to support the next book.,Although the next book is not history.,But it's still an iron-blooded military text.,It's still full of killings.ใWar.ใConspiracy.,And it's a cold weapon.,I believe everyone will like it.,The book will be issued at the end of September...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters,
