The center of power of the Ming Dynasty ushered in the biggest reshuffle in more than ten years, the two princes took millions of immigrants to Australia to start the colonization plan, and in the last moment when the darkness before the dawn was about to dissipate, the whole world pattern was completely changed.

The Ming Empire, which was crawling in the east, completely showed its fangs and sang about the conquest of the world with an extremely fierce attitude!

On the tenth day of the fifth month of the 14th year of Jiajing, just a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dawu Dynasty sent spies to spy on Dawu in the name of sending spies to spy on Dawu's intelligence, and killed several 'spies' in front of the Palace of Versailles.

The Holy See was extremely angry at Dawu's brazen tearing up of the covenant under such a clumsy excuse, and immediately issued an oracle and launched a holy war!

Everyone knew that this war was inevitable, and the Holy See could not be as naïve as a child thinking that a mere covenant would be able to stop the expansionist ambitions of the pagans in the East.

So the whole of Western Europe had been prepared for a long time, and even after learning that millions of immigrants from the East had landed in France, they knew that the trumpet of war had been sounded.

There is no need to take the slightest fluke, any fluke is stupid!

Clement VII, who had only been pope for just over a year, was not as wise and long-term as his predecessor, Adrian VI, and was outraged by his predecessor's choice to humiliate the infidels by signing a treaty that forfeited the dignity of the Holy See.

However, Clement VII did not know that if there had been no pagan invasion in this world, then in the original history, during the period when he was in charge of the Holy See, the Holy Roman Emperor would have sent a large army to conquer the Holy See and force the Holy See to surrender, thus overpowering the divine power!

Now because of external troubles, coupled with the fact that Charles V was once captured, although he was not deprived of the throne, Charles V's prestige in the empire and even the whole of Western Europe has long been lost, on the contrary, in order to fight against the great force, the whole of Western Europe has become monolithic under the urging of the Holy See to resist the infidels!

Six years, a strong soldier!

The Battle of Andorra made Western Europeans realize the strong fighting power of the pagans, so in the past few years, the Holy See mobilized all the kingdoms to develop the military industry at almost any cost, and all the kingdoms also recognized a fact very clearly!

If they win, they will regain the lost territory, they will enslave millions of infidels, they will return all the humiliation they have suffered over the years, and if they lose, the whole of Europe will have no soil for the followers of God to live!

This time, the whole of Western Europe is a soldier!

There are more than a million regular troops, two million reserve troops, and millions of civilians ready to go into battle!

Thousands of artillery pieces, 300,000 muskets, countless giant catapults and canisters, and thousands of black wooden boxes in the back!

It can be said that the Holy See has done its best for this holy war, because this battle cannot be defeated!

Therefore, even if the sons and daughters of Western Europe die in this holy war, they will pile their bones on the banks of the Rhine to stop the pagans' advance!

After the Battle of Andorra, Zhu Houzhao captured the whole territory of France as quickly as possible, crossed the Rhine River with 30,000 troops, and built strong fortifications on the north bank of the Rhine River.

At this time, 300,000 Han sons and daughters had already crossed the Rhine!

Emperor Taiwu of the Dawu Dynasty was wearing a bright silver battle armor, shining with dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, he had waited for this day for too long, so long that he almost forgot what the last iron-blooded battlefield was like.

More than ten miles away, the crusader camp can hardly see the edge at a glance, according to the information provided by the European traitors, Zhu Houzhao is very clear about the military equipment of the crusaders, to put it bluntly, this time in the decisive battle of the Rhine, he really needs to face only one million enemy troops!

What two million reservists, what bullshit millions of god's followers who can go to war at any time, are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs who have not experienced complete military training!

For the military manufacturing in Western Europe over the years, Zhu Houzhao is also very clear, I have to say that the crusaders have started the process of alternating from cold weapons to hot weapons, but it is a pity that they want to catch up with the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty, which is a typical wishful thinking!

If the Holy See is given thirty years or even ten or twenty years, when the Ming military industry encounters a bottleneck, then Western Europe may still have the opportunity to greatly shorten the generation gap between the two, but unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty will not give the Holy See this time, let alone Zhu Houzhao!

"Hou Wei and I said that the development of muskets from arquebuses to flintlock pistols to bolt guns, although the Holy See was defeated in the Battle of Andorra, it could not be regarded as nothing, at least the firearms they captured provided ideas for the craftsmen of Western Europe, so that the muskets of Western Europe are not weaker than our old-fashioned muskets, but the artillery ...... Hehe. ”

The mainstream artillery of the Ming army is howitzer, which is light in weight, has a long range, high accuracy, and can be quickly transferred on the battlefield after being equipped with wheels, but the progress of artillery research and development in Western Europe is not too large.

The firing range of Western Europe's artillery is completely proportional to its weight, that is, it is similar to the most old-fashioned general cannon, which is often seven or eight thousand catties, and such old-fashioned artillery uses twenty catties of solid shells, and the firing range can reach up to ten miles at most.

However, with the reduction of the weight of the artillery, the weight of the shells can only be reduced, and after the double reduction, the range of the artillery will plummet, and the firing range of the small cannon weighing thousands of pounds is only more than two miles.

On the other hand, Daming's howitzer, which is completely different from the old-fashioned general cannon is two varieties, seven or eight hundred pounds of howitzer, the range can reach more than fifteen miles, the most terrifying thing is precision shooting!

Zhu Houzhao doesn't know much about firearms, what trigonometric geometry, what elevation angles are right angles, what this and that......

Zhu Houzhao has no interest in these, the only thing he is interested in is the power of howitzers!

Unlike the old-fashioned solid iron bullets, which kill people by inertia, the shells of howitzers rely on explosives!

One shot out, erosion!

Hundreds of howitzers form a covering strike, unless the enemy has made complete fortifications, otherwise in the face of carpet bombing, the final outcome must be blown into bloody mud!

The crusaders alternated between hot and cold, and most of them still used the traditional Macedonian phalanx, and the two-foot-long spears were like beasts crawling on the main battlefield, showing their palpitating fangs.

"Your Majesty!" Peng Xing, the commander of the new First Army of the Wu Dynasty, had a dazzling brilliance in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard, defeat the enemy formation, and be willing to accept military law!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Peng Xing coldly and said: "General Peng's martial arts and bravery, even I admire it very much, but the current battlefield can't be brave and ruthless, what's the matter, do you plan to let my army feed a round of enemy artillery fire first?"

"This ...... The last general is ashamed. Peng Xing retreated.
