The city of Constantinople was in chaos.

On the streets inside and outside the city, people dressed in various costumes, carrying all kinds of packages and luggage, driving all kinds of vehicles and horses, rushed out of the city.

Unprecedented chaos, complete mess from top to bottom.

Even if the Ottoman Sultan ran away, when the Lucians entered the city, they were not so chaotic.

The sultan ran away, and the big city of Constantinople changed its owner when it changed its master, and the nobles of the two countries were more affected.

Some of the Ottoman nobility became commoners and captives of the new Roman Empire, or they were directly ascended to heaven.

There was also a part of the nobility that became the nascent Roman aristocracy along with the Lucian nobility.

The ordinary people of the middle and lower classes of the local area, even if they were a little chaotic during the transition of power and rulers, quickly adapted to this change at the top.

Daily life still has to be lived, those who should go to the dock to be a laborer continue to be a laborer, and those who should go to the factory to tighten the screws continue to screw.

But this time, everyone from school to school couldn't get used to it.

Everybody is going to run.

The Ming Dynasty officially claimed to inflict divine punishment on Constantinople.

Although it is only a claim, it is not 100% certain that there will really be divine punishment in Constantinople.

But this kind of thing that involves life is rather believable than believable.

Anyone who didn't run away would only die if they stayed in the city, and not many people were willing to be buried with Constantinople.

Including the new Roman nobility and bureaucracy that was founded.

Although at this time, the army of the Ming Dynasty was still more than 400 kilometers away.

There were also a large number of Lucia and German soldiers fighting on the Anatolian plateau.

But no one doubted that the Ming Dynasty would be able to complete the 400-kilometer journey in ten days and throw the divine punishment into the city of Constantinople.

Indeed, it took four days for the Ming army to reach the opposite side of Constantinople.

The Third Army, the main force of the Ming Dynasty, came to the opposite bank of Constantinople.

Thirty kilometers from the center of Constantinople, the whole army was reorganized and rested.

Napoleon's Tessie Legion followed, continuing to pursue the stragglers that the main Ming army had no time to deal with, and went deep into the mountains to continue to suppress the bandits.

The city of Constantinople itself was a fortress that stood next to a narrow strait connecting the Black Sea and the Great Qin Sea.

Such a fortress city is also bordered by water on three sides, and it is a real and dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

For a long time, in order to maintain the safety of the capital fortress, it was also because of the relatively high difficulty of the project.

Not only did Constantinople have no large bridges with the Anatolian plateau on the opposite bank, but there was also only a rudimentary bridge with the river bay on the other side of the Tessy continent.

Traffic on both sides of the strait is mainly by ferry.

But as industrialization progressed, this conservative mode of transportation became less and less sufficient.

By the time the Ming Dynasty cooperated with the Ottomans, the Ming Dynasty helped the Ottomans build a large number of roads, railways, and bridges.

These include two large bridges across the Bosphorus, two modern bridges connecting the peninsula on which Constantinople is located with the adjacent landmass.

It can allow railways and roads to connect directly to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Over the next decade, Constantinople's city expanded continuously.

Outside and around the ramparts, as well as on the other side of the river, large areas of urban settlements and industrial areas were built.

The total population of Constantinople grew from more than a million to almost two million.

When the Lucians attacked Constantinople, the Ottoman Sultan's decision to run away ahead of schedule was too decisive.

The soldiers who were arranged by the Sultan to blow up the bridge were not very responsible, and before they could actually blow up the bridge, Lucia's army had already arrived.

The Lucians took over these bridges and continued to serve as important transportation nodes for themselves.

Now, before the Ming rushed to the side of the strait, he had issued a warning to the three Roman kingdoms led by Lucia in advance.

They had plenty of time to blow up the four bridges before the Ming arrived.

So that the Ming people could not cross the strait quickly.

But this also blocked a large number of Roman soldiers on the Anatolian plateau, and became the target of the main army of the Ming Dynasty and Napoleon's army.

Constantinople was one of the most important cities in the Ctessi continent from more than a thousand years ago, and still is.

The name Rome is as important in the culture of the Taixi people as "Han" is to the Shenzhou people.

Constantinople was originally known as "New Rome", the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which lasted for more than a thousand years.

Constantinople is one of the most important pieces of the fragmented Ctesi tradition.

Emperor Lucia was nominally the Emperor of Eastern Rome.

It was just two years after Lucia took over the area and renamed the country New Rome.

Many religious buildings had to be abandoned again before they had been renovated.

Although the city of Constantinople itself was dangerous enough, the Lucians also managed to destroy the bridge connecting Anatolia.

If a conventional war breaks out now, the city of Constantinople and the strait next to it will be able to hold back the Ming army on the opposite side for a long time.

But in the face of divine punishment weapons, all conventional defensive measures are meaningless.

As soon as the threat of the Ming Dynasty was issued and made public, this fortress, which should have been exceptionally strong, began to rapidly collapse from within.

Aristocrats, officials, soldiers, merchants, and commoners are all running away in a frenzy.

On March 5, the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army came to the opposite side of Constantinople.

More than half of the nearly two million people in Constantinople have fled.

Aristocrats, officials, and merchants traveled by car or even by plane, but most commoners had to walk.

The reminder given by Daming is to avoid twenty kilometers, and normal people can get out in one day.

The key issue is the question of life after going out.

How to get food and water.

In fact, the two million inhabitants of Constantinople, most of the ordinary people, would have turned directly into refugees.

The people of Constantinople were fleeing, but there were also some people rushing to Constantinople from other parts of the mainland of Ctessi by various means.

There were intelligence and reconnaissance personnel from the three Roman kingdoms, as well as reporters and videographers from various media outlets.

There are also some more capable non-governmental figures.

Their purpose was simple, they wanted to confirm the use of the divine punishment weapon of the Great Ming, or to appreciate and record the miracle of the divine punishment weapon with their own eyes.

Most of these people have an unusually mixed mixture of anticipation, heartache and entanglement.

The anticipation is to see the weapons of divine punishment, and the sadness is, of course, because Constantinople, a city comparable to the holy city, may disappear completely.

The reason for the entanglement is not sure, if all the people in Constantinople run out, and there is only an empty city left, the Ming will still use divine punishment.

Lucia, Germany, and Italy, the three Roman monarchs and high-ranking officials, also began to think about this after calming down for a few days.

Constantinople has become an empty city, and if it can be taken bloodlessly, there is no point in using divine punishment weapons.

They even began to hesitate and be confused, could it be that this time they still couldn't see the divine punishment weapon?

Da Ming is holding the stick of divine punishment like this, and he doesn't really need to use it directly against the enemy, can he capture cities with simple intimidation?

As the population of the city became less and less, the military and political institutions within the city quickly dissolved.

There were some middle- and upper-level officers, probably with a certain opportunistic mentality, who did not flee with the crowd.

Instead, after the departure of his own prefects and major nobles, he tried to liaise with the Daming Taisi Operational Command on behalf of Constantinople.

It is hoped that they can surrender directly to the Ming Dynasty.

In their opinion, surrendering with a special city like Constantinople and transferring the city to the Ming Dynasty should be regarded as a certain credit, right?

Although the main force is the suppressive effect of the divine punishment weapon of the Great Ming.

But the cooperation of myself as an insider should also have a certain effect, right?

At the very least, I can tell the Ming people that those facilities are the most important and those buildings are of historical significance.

The various classics and antiquities left by the Ottomans and Rome should be of interest to the cultural people of the Ming Dynasty.

Their news received a certain amount of attention, and after passing through the hands of the liaison personnel of the Daming Taixi Operational Command, it was sent to the commander-in-chief Yang Yuchun.

The disposition of Constantinople was personally arranged by Yang Yuchun.

Yang Yuchun glanced at the telegram and directly instructed the intelligence officers:

"Tell them that if they surrender, they will retreat 20 kilometers and wait for the main force of the Ming Dynasty to cross the river."

Yang Yuchun's meaning is actually obvious, even if there is only one empty city left in Constantinople, he will use the divine punishment weapon to bomb it.

The emperor told himself bluntly that he would level the grave, demolish the temple, and burn the book-

Then Constantinople, the old capital of Rome, a place where many Tessie spirit Romans dreamed of, had to be completely razed to the ground.

At the same time, purely from a purely military and strategic point of view, Constantinople is not easy to fight, and it is best to bomb it directly.

In Yang Yuchun's view, the statement that Constantinople has really become an empty city is unrealistic.

The vast majority of ordinary people will voluntarily leave Constantinople because of the threat of divine punishment, but some may wait to die with the city.

Constantinople was also a concentration of Lucian spiritual, Roman, and Great Lucian elements.

After the other civilians have left, this part of the people will definitely launch a completely fatal suicide destruction when the Ming people enter the city.

Therefore, Yang Yuchun believes that it is necessary to make another strategic strike now.

Shatter the morale of the Tessie people again, and wipe out some of the extremists.

So the bombing of Constantinople is a certainty.

The Ministry of Rites and the military also arranged photographers, with the most advanced shooting equipment, to choose the shooting angle in advance, ready to record the destruction of the city.

Another five days later, on March 15, the fourth year of the Grand Duke, the ten-day countdown given by the Ming Dynasty finally ended.

The vast majority of Constantinople had already left the city.

But there were still people in the city.

Yang Yuchun did not arrange personnel to reconnoiter the situation in the city.

Instead, at noon, he personally wrote an order and an application, ordering the forbidden army to prepare for the launch of nuclear missiles, and at the same time applying to Emperor Zhu Jingyuan of the Ming Dynasty for the use of strategic weapons.

Zhu Jingyuan of the Wenhua Hall Office of Tianfu New City in the Ming Dynasty sighed softly after seeing the application and explanation written by Yang Yuchun.

From the perspective of personal feelings, Zhu Jingyuan hopes to keep Constantinople.

But from the perspective of the Ming Emperor, he can't stay.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan, with a little helplessness, sent the final instructions that were allowed to be used to the forbidden army on the front line through a special communication frequency.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of March 15, the fourth year of the Grand Duke, in the Ming military camp thirty kilometers away from Constantinople, a small missile slowly rose with white smoke.

The distance is only 30 kilometers, and there is no need to use large and medium-sized ballistic missiles, and conventional missiles are able to deliver bombs to the target location.

Moreover, the accuracy of conventional missiles is higher, and the error can be controlled within 100 meters.

This simple missile, which soon came to the sky over Constantinople, directly to a height of two kilometers above the city.

At a distance of less than fifty meters from the target point, the warhead of the missile was successfully detonated.

A huge ball of light bright enough to obscure the sun slowly bloomed, and the violent shock wave instantly tore through everything around it.

In this ancient land below the new sun, many temples and power supplies that have stood for hundreds or even thousands of years have been wiped out in an instant.

The oldest urban cores have a radius of less than three kilometers and are completely within the radius of the complete destruction of a two-million-ton nuclear bomb.

A dozen kilometers farther around, mainly new residential and industrial areas built in recent decades, have also turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

This was the most powerful and shocking nuclear explosion.

It was also a nuclear explosion with a large audience.

To the east of Constantinople, within a few tens of kilometers across the strait, there were more than a million Ming soldiers.

To the west and north of Constantinople, there were more than a million stranded refugees.

In total, more than two million humans watched a second sun appear in the sky, and watched a mushroom cloud like a jade pillar slowly rise.

Together, they also experienced a residual shock wave that was still quite strong from a distance of several tens of kilometers.

Many people saw the terrifying flames in the periphery of the city.

There are also an unknown number of cameras and video recorders, from different angles and different points in time, recording this unprecedented explosion.

I don't know how many people looked at it for a long time, and then they roared or muttered uncontrollably:

"This is divine punishment—"

"My God, what the hell is that!"

"Is this the real divine punishment?"

"No one but God can wield this power—"

"What is that Ming Man?"

"Could it be that God is the Great Ming Man?"

From aristocrats to scholars, from bureaucrats to businessmen, from soldiers to commoners, the mood at this moment is extremely shocking and unusually confused.

Victory and defeat, gods and earth, battle and survival, strength and justice......

All kinds of heavy and contradictory, distant and direct questions, linger in their hearts, making people want to think but unable to think.

On the other side of Constantinople, in the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yuchun personally came to the front line and found a very good position.

With sunglasses prepared in advance, I carefully observed the entire explosion process with a large telescope prepared in advance.

Then he gave the most direct admiration from the heart, and began to think and analyze as a matter of course:

"Your Majesty's title is really appropriate, this is definitely a real strategic weapon, and the immortals in the romance do not have this kind of deterrent.

"The deterrent effect of a weapon of this specification is good enough, and after it is directly shown to the Tessie, it is likely that it will not have a chance to use it in the future.

"Future generations should have no chance to use it, and now these are all released in my hands, Lao Tzu's life is really worth it."
