Chapter 567: Declaring War on the Nations T

Zhen Si Yan Shi was hurt a lot, he worked hard to fight the imperial capital of the empire at that time actually did not get any valuable booty, angry and angry, he personally led eight thousand cavalry in pursuit, Osman I soon showed the traces of these people, towards the east murderous pursuit, finally, they chased this group of fugitives on the western border of Muscovy, Osman I immediately attacked, the two sides immediately entered the battle, but soon, the Ottoman nightmare came, An East Slavic army of 10,000 men appeared on the battlefield. They did not hesitate to attack Osman I.

In fact, Osman I should have been able to guess that these Eastern Slavs might have been hostile to the Ottoman Turks, whose original place of residence was the north of Asia, which migrated to some parts of eastern Europe a thousand years ago. By the 5th century, the Germanic peoples had moved westward. This led to the great migration of the Slavs, westward into the region between the Odis and Elbe, south into Bohemia, Moravia, Hungary, the Balkans, and north along the upper Neper River. In the following centuries, the Slavs hardly became a unity. The cultural and political life of the West Slavs has been integrated into the general European model. The Russians and Balkan Slavs did not have any close contact with European society for centuries because their lands were infested by Mongols and Turks.

Subsequently, the Slavic peoples began to establish states. The earliest state appeared in the West Slavic region, known as the Principality of Satsuma, which was founded in the year of Mian, and the Great Moravian State arose in the year of O; thugs established the Czech principality at the beginning of the Mission; The Kingdom of Poland was born in the coming year. The Eastern Slavs established a powerful Kievan Rus' at the end of the oral century. The southern Slavs established the Slavic-Bulgarian kingdom in the year of Qu. Since the beginning of the oral century, a number of medieval Slavs have been established in the territory of present-day Yugoslavia, absorbing the cultural traditions of the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empires, especially the Orthodox Church is very deeply rooted in East Slavia, and the intervention of Muscovy troops was simply a natural thing for Ottoman I.

But at this moment, Osman I had just taken the imperial capital across the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. Gradually, he began to become invincible, so he personally hurriedly led his army to chase after him, and rashly started a military operation on the border of Muscovy, which only provoked the hostility of the Grand Duke of Moscow.

The battle lasted for a day, 10,000 Slavs and 5,000 Byzantine cavalry defeated Osman I in one fell swoop, and captured a ring of Osman I, this ring is not ordinary, but Osman I in order to envelop the Islamic world, attract the support of Muslims and constantly curry favor with the Muslim elders finally gave him the ring, which means that the Muslim elders authorized Osman I to lead the believers in the name of the ring, and lost this ring, which is of great significance, Osman I escaped by luck, Concealing the truth, he announced to his people that he had defeated the enemy, only to cause the death of his subordinates due to plague and natural disasters, and secretly created a fake ring to confuse the public.

Naturally, this matter is extremely confidential; Ottoman I was not reconciled to this setback. On the one hand, he sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Byzantine exiles, and asked people to calculate the amount of treasures brought by the exiles, which were almost the entire Byzantine Empire accumulated over a hundred years, plundering countless peoples in Asia, Africa and Europe, and the amount was naturally amazing. One was made up of royal heirs who entered the Muscovy, and the Byzantine princess married the Grand Duke of Moscow, while the other was led by the bishop of the Orthodox Church, who led the believers into the Duchy of Rostov and became the spiritual leader of the Eastern Slavs, while the treasures were taken into the care of the Church and brought into Rostov-on-Don.

Rostov at that time was a pound attached to Muscovy. The Principality of Bu, where the center of the Orthodox Church is located, and the Orthodox bishop naturally tried his best to cover up the news of the treasure for the safety of this treasure. At that time, the Orthodox Church had a great deal of voice, and under the cover of the bishops, almost no one among the Slavs knew about it, except for Grand Duke Ivan of Muscovy, who had received greater political benefits.

Several small Slavic principalities, Osman I really didn't pay attention to it, in order to be ashamed, he made enough preparations, only to one day eradicate those Slavs in the East, but before he was ready, his life finally came to an end, and the conscripted Ji Ge thugs died without a problem.

As time passed, even the Orthodox Christians did not know that there were many treasures under their former ruins, but for the Ottoman royal family, the story was passed down from mouth to mouth among the sultans, and the mission of all the sultans was to reclaim the ring and wash away the shame of their ancestors, and of course, the countless treasures were also very attractive.

Only after the death of Osman I. The Ottoman Empire was unable to crusade eastward, their south, west, and north were full of enemy countries that hated each other, and it was really irrational to rashly conquer in such an environment, and when the Ottoman Empire was in its middle thriving, it occupied the land of Greece, Hungary and many other Europeans, and it was at that time that the Russian Empire also began to rise, and the powerful military continued to expand its territory. And this catty, time, the opportunity finally came, although the Ottomans could not take it in person, but they had a more powerful ally who could do it, in fact, these hundreds of years gradually passed, the Ottoman Sultan had already lost hope in that batch of treasures and that ring, not to mention the news to Daming, and he could still get a piece of the pie from Daming's hands, the eldest brother has meat to eat, and the second brother will have no soup? This is still the second, the most important thing is the ring, for the Ming Dynasty, that ring is no different from scrap copper and rotten iron, but for the Ottoman Sultan, it is extremely important.

After Zhu Jun listened to this catty, the first feeling of the "story" was nonsense, such a distant treasure story, I am afraid that many people will not believe it, Zhu Jun is naturally also a human being, and it is impossible to change the operational policy of the General Staff for the sake of a story. But if this is said by the messenger of a nation, it will be different. After all, he would never dare to joke with this kind of nonsense, otherwise once he lost the arms support of the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for the Ottomans to gain an advantage in the Eurasian battlefield, and at this time, Zhu Jun couldn't help but think about it.

First of all, whether this news is credible, about this, through his investigation of Harry and the secret Jinyiwei, I know that this person is quite a steady thug In this case, he definitely does not dare to lie and conceal it, secondly, whether Da Ming has the ability to take the city, Zhu Jun is very confident in this, a cavalry thousands of miles forward, presumably the Russians have calculated everything, and they would never have thought that Da Ming's combat policy was so bold, and under the precaution, the 30,000 dragoon regiment could definitely break through the European part of Russia very quickly30,000 cavalry inserted into the center of the European part of Russia, even if the Russians did not have an embankment at the beginning, but once the city was breached, Russia would definitely encircle and suppress it, how to run at that time? What's more, if you run away with a large amount of treasure, isn't this a death?

When Zhu Jun asked someone to bring the map, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and finally found a catty, a way to deal with the aftermath, Rostov is located in the lower reaches of the Don River in southwest Russia, and the Yahai is connected to the Black Sea to the south through the Kerch Strait, forming a northward extension of the Black Sea, and the Black Sea is connected to the distant Atlantic Sea through the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles, the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in its southwest corner.

That is to say, if you want to withdraw, then the only way is by sea, if the Ming Dynasty sends a fleet to the Atlantic, you can enter the Black Sea, the Asian Sea to respond, load the treasure on the ship, and transport it back as soon as possible. Of course, sending a fleet naturally cannot be done in the name of capturing treasures, and the only way is to enter the Mediterranean under the banner of consolidating the Mediterranean Sea of the allies. Start moving again.

In fact, Zhu Jun had long wanted to plan an operation for the Ming fleet to enter the European Rim, and the Dutch Alliance, relying on the advantage of warships, had been suppressing the navies of the countries of the Anti-Dutch Alliance, and the only thing that could be controlled was only a very small area in the Mediterranean. Although countries are vying to buy warships from the Ming Dynasty, but after all, weapons are weapons, and the real decisive factor is still in people, the Dutch have the best sailors and experienced sailors, while the sailors of various countries are composed of a group of pirates, peasant small craftsmen, even with the most advanced warships. I am afraid that the ability of this naval battle is too far behind that of the Dutch, because the coast is suppressed, the countries have long been miserable, and they have asked the Ming to send troops. After all, the goal of the Dutch was Daming, and the anti-Dutch alliance was actually pulled onto the warship by Daming. Now that the master is enjoying happiness in the rear, they are desperately working in the front, which is simply unreasonable, and they have actually made a large amount of war money, and in the past few years, the countries of the anti-Dutch alliance have almost exhausted their treasury. All the silver went to Daming, and that's not all. Almost every country owes a butt of foreign debt. And the Ming Dynasty is the creditor, instigating others to fight for you, and then selling arms, selling arms is not counted, and conniving at people to owe you usury, this is probably too unjust, in fact, in the countries of the anti-Dutch alliance, some people who have calmed down have already shown themselves in the trap of the Ming Dynasty, but it is too late, and the war has entered a white-hot stage. There was already a blood feud between the Dutch League and the Anti-Dutch League, and the war could not have stopped if you said it would stop.

But this general skepticism made the countries of the Anti-Dutch Alliance feel more and more uneasy, if the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to officially participate in the war to rescue the Allied forces. I'm afraid that sooner or later this Europe will be in a ball. In the end, they unanimously vented their anger on Da Ming's body.

It's time, Zhu Jun has a plan in his heart. Now it is better to take the opportunity of the fleet to go around Europe and give the allies a shot in the arm.

Of course, sending the Royal Dragoon Regiment into the Russian European region is still of great strategic importance, once the Dragoons invade Rostov-on-Don. Then the main force of the Russian army, which originally intended to rescue Siberia, may definitely not be interested in going to Siberia, for the Russians, Europe and Zhejiang are their center of gravity, then the resistance of the Ming army that invaded Siberia will be greatly reduced. And it can also buy time for migrants to move.

After Zhu Jun figured out the various joints, the eunuch of Chaoqing Bingbi shouted: "The Ming Dynasty and the allies of England, France, the Kingdom of Sardinia, Spain, and the Ottoman States share weal and woe, and should share weal and woe and survive the invasion of the evil alliance. Daming has the heart to help the war but can't do anything, and now I Daming has a heart to "finally succeed, yes, for the Ming Dynasty and the allies to agree." The Ming Dynasty officially declared war on the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Russia and other subordinate countries, and the Tianjin Port Naval Division was changed to the Western Naval Division, and the Nanyang and Oriental Naval Divisions were combined into an expeditionary fleet and immediately sailed to the Western Ocean. to punish not to be subordinate

Zhu Jun finished reading, the eunuch with the pen immediately waved, and wrote down the general meaning of Zhu Jun's words, in order to deter the Manchus in Jiangbei, Zhu Junyi surrendered Shi Lang for the Tianjin Port Naval Division guerrilla, harassing the coasts of Jiangbei everywhere, and now the Manchurians are annihilated, this Tianjin Port as a naval base has no much use, Zhu Jun simply promoted the Tianjin Port Naval Division to a level, as the backbone of the establishment of the Western Naval Division, with Shi Lang as the Governor of the Western Naval Division, since then, the Ming Dynasty Four Oceanic Naval Divisions are all ready.

"Summoning the North and South Towns, let's make a secret decree, let the Di Bao Division prepare the materials, and publicize the Dutch" Zhu Jun finally added. ,,

The envoys of various countries in Liaodong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the news that the Ming Dynasty had officially declared war on the Netherlands and other countries, which was definitely the biggest good news. The whole of Europe has been locked in warbands, and the two sides have been fighting for five years, during which time regular armies have been wiped out and more civilians have been armed. Continue to go to the battlefield, dead batch after batch, whether it is economic and resource or military, the current European countries are more like a group of big men who fight each other, in the long fight with each other, they have long been exhausted, and now what is missing is a catty. The new force, as long as a new straw appears, can definitely bend the opponent.

Over the years, it is clear that countries have suffered too much damage, and their national strength has long since bottomed out, in the final analysis. In fact, it is just trying to maintain, and now the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have finally set out to fight, especially the British, because the sea is controlled by the Dutch, the whole of Britain has suffered from the blockade of the Dutch, not only to enter the war, but also to destroy all the commerce, so that the wealth accumulated by the British over the years has long been exhausted, not to mention, but also lost the ability to accumulate finances, the British government has fallen into an unprecedented financial crisis as early as three years ago, these three years, if it were not for the Ming Dynasty to give the British government all the war materials and weapons, I'm afraid Britain is already finished.

The French, although mainly on land, were also attacked by the armies of Austria, Luxembourg and even the Netherlands, and these small countries were not comparable to the French army, but a few pounds. Hit one, tossing the French to the fullest. Coupled with the blockade of the French coast by the Dutch Navy, France has suffered a lot over the years, although it is not as embarrassed as the British, but the consumption of this war is amazing, the most annoying thing for the French is the Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia that fights together with the French Army, these Italians are simply the guys who have more than enough to do, often arrange the battle line, the eastern section is guarded by the French, and the western section is guarded by the Kingdom of Sardinia Army, but the Dutch allies attack together, and the heroic French are fighting in full swing, But unexpectedly, there were enemies in the rear, and when they came to their senses. Only then did I know that the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia in the western part of his mother had collapsed shortly after the war had begun, and he did not even say a word to the allies when he ran. As a result, the Dutch allies who occupied the western sector of the defense line went directly behind the French army and made dumplings for the French, not once or twice, but at least five times, each of which caused a battle or even the collapse of the entire front of the campaign, for which the French sacrificed at least tens of thousands of brave soldiers.

By the time the French realized that the Italians were not only not helpful to them, but rather a stumbling block, it was too late, in the early stages of the war. Their standing army suffered great losses, and in the end they had to recruit civilians to replenish their troops, but in this way, the strength of the French army naturally decreased considerably. So much so that the ensuing war became more and more difficult, and of course, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was also used by the French in a very "friendly, way" way, on the one hand, to express the gratitude of the French to the king of Sardinia for sending troops, and on the other hand. It was implied that the French no longer needed any help from Sardinia, and at last the Italians, who had rushed to their aid in the aid of the French, were driven back to their homeland.

The king of Sardinia is very keen on land warfare on the mainland, in fact, it is no wonder that the king of Sardinia, because it is located in the Mediterranean Sea, is basically the most neglected sea area of the Dutch alliance, and the naval power of the anti-Dutch alliance here is also the strongest, therefore, basically among the countries of the anti-Dutch alliance, the Kingdom of Sardinia is the most leisurely, because no one comes to fight them, and the king of Sardinia has been committed to the unification of Italy, therefore, the king of Sardinia very much hopes to scrape a strong army as a guarantee of future unification, This French battlefield naturally became an excellent place for military training, but what he didn't know was. As soon as the French saw the Sardinians, their heads were as big as a fight. ,,

The Ming entered the war, well, I admit, followed the path of the Americans.
