Chapter 863
"Ao Ye, you see that Constantinople is called a wonderful one. Look at what is written in the war report, the corpses are strewn all over the field and rivers of blood are flowing.
The quality of our observers needs to be improved, and at least they need to be written with a bit of storytelling, so that everyone will love to watch it. It's not coming and going, it's all these adjectives. ”
Li Xiao put down a few pieces of paper in his hand and complained to Ao Ye who was basking in the sun.
Ao Ye was wearing big flower pants and sunglasses on his eyes. Lie on a beach chair with chilled wine on a coffee table next to you and a huge fruit bowl. The content inside can only be described as wonderful.
The dark chest hair was constantly swaying by the sea breeze, and from Li Xiao's angle, the whole person seemed to be shaking.
"Rest! People are fighting to the death, and what observer do you send there to watch the monkey show? Corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing, which is not the case after you have never finished a battle.
Do you think anyone can beat your swap ratio? You have cannons, machine guns, warships in the sea, airships in the sky. What do they have, just a sword in their hands.
Sometimes I think it's boring. Just unfold the infantry and then the artillery mount with a bang. Then just wait for the other party to surrender under the white flag!
Even if they encounter some hard-boned people who refuse to surrender, most of them can only choose to flee. The airship in the sky pursued, and the thing flying in the sky couldn't outrun on horseback. Looking from the sky to the ground, there were only shivering hiding in caves and forests, waiting to be surrounded by infantry.
Sometimes I can't figure out if it's a war or a hunt. Ao Ye opened his mouth and ate a lychee peeled by the maid next to him. After chewing twice in his mouth, he spit out a small lychee core.
"Oh, so you're tired of fighting like this. Well, tomorrow we will take back all the weapons of the first division. Let me give you a fine sword, and you will go back to Constantinople and tear it apart, which will be more enjoyable. ”
Li Xiao glanced at Ao Ye with disdain, Lao Tzu went around getting money to equip you with machine guns and cannons. As a result, you are still not satisfied, and you don't like to fight like this, and you actually say that it is like hunting.
Do you know how many silver coins Lao Tzu smashed into it in order to reduce the number of dead people?
A heavy rocket shell for a hundred silver coins, a 460 mm naval gun shell, fucking three hundred silver coins. The cannon of the airship, a cannonball costs a silver coin.
Those who were killed by airships, they were actually stoned to death by silver coins.
When a battle is fought, money is not spent like flowing water. If it weren't for the sacking of Constantinople this time, Ai Husheng would have left his hands behind.
The 300,000 army fought thousands of miles, and the current Ming national strength could not support it at all. What's more, Daming is now also in a period of great development.
Roads everywhere need to be repaired, and children need free education. Ports need to be built along the coast, and railways need to be built inland. Money is needed everywhere, and the provinces that can make money in the Ming Dynasty are only Beijing, Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei, and only Xi'an in Shaanxi still has some surplus.
Most of the remaining provinces have fiscal deficits, and the places that can make ends meet are already considered good provinces.
Infrastructure is too fucking expensive.
Overseas colonies are much better, especially in Xinjiapo and Java. Because of the relationship between various ores, Australia is also doing well. Every day, there will be countless steamers and sailboats, transporting all kinds of resources back to Daming.
In short, it's time for Luo Guo to go up the mountain, and money is tight!
Ao Ye knew that what Li Hao said was a joke, and no general would cherish the lives of his soldiers like him. After killing tens of thousands of enemy soldiers in a battle, and only a dozen of his own people died, Li Xiao would also look at the coffins of the fallen soldiers and be sad.
He was such a man that he could only see his enemies dead, and he could not see his brother lying in a pool of blood. But the problem is that no matter how advanced the weapons are, they can't make their side immortal. When you are unlucky, you will die of diarrhea.
This is not a lie, when fighting in India, many soldiers died of diarrhea.
Later, Li Xiao had to withdraw his troops from India, and in his words, the water of the Ganges was simply a flowing poisonous river.
"You don't mean that there will be no battles in the future, and now the knives and guns will enter Kuma and put them in Nanshan. Yuan Keli's 3rd Marine Division was reorganized into the Suez Canal garrison by you, Crete was abandoned, and the island of Cyprus was abandoned.
The army did not fight, and the navy did not fight. The airship flying in the sky has become a transport brigade, and Lao Tzu can only lie on the beach and bask in the sun. Why don't we find a boat to go fishing at sea? ”
"No, such a big solar energy will tan you like black charcoal. Watch out for them taking you as a slave and sending you to the mines of Australia.
I heard that the annual death rate of miners there is alarming, and one valley is almost filled with bones. "For the high mortality rate of the mine, Li Xiao has no choice.
In the era when production orders were still dominated by manpower, if we wanted to quickly complete primitive accumulation, we would inevitably need to squeeze wildly. If you don't squeeze those foreign savages, you need to squeeze the Ming people.
In between, Li Xiao was more inclined to squeeze foreigners. If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! After experiencing so many things, Li Xiao felt more and more the correctness of this sentence.
Because of the relationship between race and culture, there is a fundamental difference in the perception of things between overseas people and Ming people. This difference is in the bones, something buried in the genes.
"Hey......! Lying here, even the bones are lying apart, and our first division is really going to withdraw to the country. When you don't have to go back to China, you will destroy Jiaozhi or something by the way. ”
This is a war fanatic, and the promotion bonuses of the Liao army are all linked to military merits. At first, it was to kill the enemy on the battlefield to get the head, but later all the firearms were used, and the head became less and less valuable.
There is no way, the military merit becomes the capture of a city. Or it is to destroy a group of enemy troops in a system, and the calculation of military merits is also more refined. And not as rough as before!
"Cochin is now split into two pieces, which is already very good. It is very much in the interests of the Ming Dynasty that a nation hates each other, and I don't think there is anything that needs to be changed.
Now that the environment in East Asia is very good, the Japanese people have begun to concentrate on business. The Tokugawa family and the Mori family now have only a few thousand samurai retainers left. Java has almost become the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the indigenous tribes have disappeared. The rest can only survive on some remote islands.
Very good! Everything is fine and does not need to change anything.
The soldiers have been out to fight for two years, and they should go home to see. After returning to Daming, those who should be promoted and those who are unwilling to work in the team can be assigned to the locality.
Anyway, there is always a shortage of officials at the grassroots level, and those bastards of the Donglin Party need to be gradually replaced. ”
"I don't understand this, but I can hear people in China say that Tibet is not very peaceful now. The Gesar you picked up has already unified the plateau. And it's attacking Nepal, and I heard that it's hooking up with some states in northern India.
They occupy the plateau and have a great influence in both Xikang and Qinghai. If they really have opposing intentions, the imperial court's policy of running the Western Regions will be greatly affected. ”
"Don't think about things on the plateau, Gesar is not stupid, they know that the result of walking down the plateau is death. The place on the plateau was given to the Tibetans by God.
When we Han people go to the plateau, we will have altitude sickness. In many cases, a feeling can kill people. They are all our soldiers, and you can bear to let the brothers take that risk?
The climate on the plateau is harsh, and the products are not abundant. Let's take over now, we can only add a burden to Daming.
Daming is now engaged in large-scale infrastructure construction, and most provinces are in deficit. Couldn't have been more! Let Gesar toss on the plateau and see what he can toss.
Give him a few decades, and it would be against the sky to be able to build a train. There is no need to waste the lives of our soldiers for a place that is still in the wilderness.
If you're too idle, Europe is hot. Why don't you go to France and be Napoleon's chief of staff. There must have been a lot of battles to be fought there, and as long as the British were there, they would constantly organize anti-French alliances.
In addition, many monarchies in Europe are unhappy with Napoleon. Although Napoleon won the Battle of Austerlitz, there are still many battles ahead.
What do you think? Whether to go or not, I have heard that there are many beautiful girls in Paris. All of them have thin waists and big buttocks, and they are all choppy at the top. It's all your favorite type, how about it, if you want to go, I'll tell Joseph, he's going to be happy to die. ”
Li Xiao looked at Ao Canghai with a wicked smile!
"Get out of here! It's not like the golden-haired woman Lao Tzu hasn't slept before, she looks at her skin is quite white, but when she sleeps, she knows that her skin is not as fine as our girl's fine hair.
Besides, those women have a smell in them. Like a cat in February and August, I can't get used to playing. ”
"And! Chopsticks shabu tank. Li Xiao cocked Erlang's legs, and one foot trembled like a stroke.
"Damn, Lao Tzu won't kill them. Besides, Napoleon is something. I don't think it's qualified to be a regiment commander under me, and let me be the chief of staff for him, so you just throw me into the country.
At least, the women of the Wa Kingdom really don't have to say anything. Feed! At the end of the day, don't do it. Damn, you smash people with pomegranates. "Ao Ye just blocked a hard pomegranate, and his head was smashed by a lychee.
For a time, all kinds of fruits flew around. In the end, the two of them simply threw away the fruit plate, and the guards in the distance were dumbfounded, now they dare to play with the big handsome like this, it is estimated that there is such a thing in the world.
Fighting this kind of thing, Li Xiao is not Ao Ye's opponent at all. Despite his age, he is still as strong as a bear. In the end, Li Xiao could only flee in the wilderness, fled back to his villa, and was surrounded by girls to soothe his wounded heart.
While Li Xiao was having a good time in Xinjiapo, Suleiman II was fighting with his sword on the megalithic wall.
The Romanians were very fierce, and they set off on their horses and galloped madly under the city walls. Then the bow and arrows in his hand shot like raindrops towards the city wall.
With the inertia of a war horse, arrows can fly far, far away.
The gap in the boulder wall is filled with all kinds of broken bricks and tiles. Many stones are carved with exquisite patterns. Precious glass is mixed in all kinds of iron thorns, shining in the sun.
Such a gap is actually more difficult to climb than the city wall.
If it is a Ming army, you can choose to bombard other city walls with one shot. Or a single shot that blows up the thin city gates. The airship flew over, and the cannon fired at the city. The troops can enter the city smoothly and climb the city walls to announce the occupation.
The whole process may not kill a few people, and may not even kill people.
But the Romanians were not Ming troops, they did not have large-caliber artillery, and even less airships that could fly in the sky. If you want to capture Constantinople, you can only use the most primitive methods to storm it.
Of course, Li Xiao still gave some assistance to the Romanians. That is, a hundred kilograms of explosives.
Li Xiao told the Romanians that with only 50 kilograms of explosives, they could blow up the two huge gates of Constantinople.
More than 100 Romanian warriors, carrying the heavy trust of Kukoc, rushed to the two huge gates with fifty kilograms of explosives.
Arrows flew along the way, and the knights used shields to protect their upper bodies. When you get close to the walls, you will also be attacked by firebolts. Projectiles were shot at the warriors, and blood flew and fell off their horses.
But they still stubbornly rushed under the city gate, but these guys didn't know how to go when they looked at the explosives bags that were bubbling up from the sparks.
They all wanted to see how the two huge gates had rotten. They saw how the gate flew, and they flew with it.
In the smoke of gunfire, a huge hole was blown open in the city gate.
Kukocz watched as his most elite men disappeared into a cloud of smoke and never came out again.
With a wave of the saber in his hand, tens of thousands of Romanian troops rushed to the gates of Constantinople. A dozen flying claws were thrown at the city gates, and the warriors beat their horses and dragged them back.
The huge gates of Constantinople made a loud noise, and then fell to the ground in the smoke of gunpowder.
Suleiman II, dressed in armor, stood in a shield behind the city gates. This is a tactic they are familiar with, unlike fighting against the Ming people, where there is no room for counterattack at all.
At least against the Romanians, the Turks still have a psychological advantage. This people have been conquered by them for hundreds of years.
Ancestors hundreds of years ago could conquer them, and so can now.
Behind the shield array were the spears of Rulin, and now Suleiman II was somewhat grateful to the Ming people for leaving these weapons. Without these swords and spears, the Turks would have had to fight with big sticks.
The cavalry burst in, and the knights on horseback were ramming into the spears. The body was pierced by several spears at once, and the war horse under the crotch was still galloping.
The tall war horse knocked down a large part of the infantry with huge shields in one fell swoop. However, the Romanian offensive was also delayed.
The two sides surrounded the small place of the city gate, ruthlessly brandishing their swords, blood bursting and stumps dancing. The plasma on the ground was an inch thick, and people would slip when they stepped on it.
Suleiman II slew a Romanian soldier with a sword: "Descendants of the wolf clan, follow me, kill!" ”
