Chapter 571: The War Is Over
The internal public opinion and political situation in the entire Taixi continent, especially in the central and eastern regions of Taixi, quickly completed two flips.
After the nuclear bombing of Constantinople, under the urging of speculative forces from all sides, successive riots and mutinies broke out in many places, and then prepared to surrender to the Ming Dynasty independently.
After the Ming Dynasty made public the plan of surrender and atonement, a large number of rioting forces quickly made peace with the original imperial courts in various places.
He even began to issue a collective appeal, demanding that the current national court and royal family represent their own ethnic groups and fight with them to the end.
The rebellion in the Warsaw area was suppressed by Lucia and Germany, and all the rebels were directly executed.
But what Wilhelm Ludwig was thinking about began to happen in fact.
After the aristocracy, bureaucracy, and merchant class decided to resist, or rather refuse to surrender outright, riots broke out among ordinary citizens in many places.
Most of them didn't have much assets in the first place, and they didn't care about the punishment of Daming confiscating assets of more than 100 silver bills.
Da Ming also didn't say that he would exile everyone to Mozhou.
Of course, the Yamen and the military of the Taixi countries or other places used all the forces at hand to suppress it, mainly the army that was constantly recruited and expanded.
The repression, of course, worked, and at the same time mass desertion soon began to appear again.
Daming wants to exile soldiers to Mozhou, so why don't I stop as soldiers?
At the same time, the news of Wilhelm Ludwig's defection to Britain spread quickly among the middle and upper classes.
Many people have found a way out of the Ascension.
Britain was already a de facto vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and was now de facto out of the state of war.
If I exchange my assets for gold, silver and jewelry, smuggle them to the United Kingdom and even further to the United States incognito, won't I have a chance to escape the punishment of the Ming Dynasty's confiscation of property?
The current upper echelons of the three Roman kingdoms do not know that they are bound to lose.
It's just not willing to accept the future of losing your wealth.
They know that even if they resist desperately now, they will still lose everything in the end, but a little later.
This time, in fact, is the time for many people to figure out how to do it.
Now they feel like they've found a way.
Thus, from late March onwards, there was a constant disappearance of German and Lucian nobles and merchants.
Shipping routes on the Baltic and North Seas, as well as in the English Channel, began to get busy.
Some of them went straight to France, and from there they crossed the sea to the south of England.
Some crossed the sea from Norway to the north of England.
Some people were lucky enough to successfully go ashore, and some encountered a patrol of the British Navy in the Ming Dynasty, and their property was directly confiscated and taken into custody.
But there are still a lot of people running out.
With this route, the upper echelons of the people in the various parts of Tessie had no idea of surrendering.
The surrender was the direct confiscation of most of the property and the exile of Mozhou.
Smuggling to the UK has the opportunity to keep most of your possessions and to live directly in the UK or to live in the United States.
In any case, it is much better than a direct surrender.
In this situation of internal chaos and reintegration, the war on the front line has not stopped.
The Ming army under the city of Constantinople quickly completed the task of crossing the sea and landing, and established a new base outside the ruins of Constantinople on the other side of the strait.
The advancing army quickly occupied the entire strait connecting the Black Sea and the Great Qin Sea.
Then quickly send the main corps across the straits and begin to expand the occupied zone in two directions.
One way north, attacking the interior of Lucia, and the other west, occupying Macedonia, Greece and other regions.
After the Ming army took control of the Black Sea straits, the inland occupation forces began to carry out another task of management and transformation.
The Ming Emperor first issued a formal edict to establish the Ming Roman State and the Ming Golden Horde.
The capital of Rome in the Ming Dynasty, opposite the vanished Constantinople, on this side of the Anatolian Plateau, was named the New Roman City.
It was responsible for the administration of the indigenous people of the Eastern Roman Empire in the original Ottoman territory and to the west, in the classical era.
The capital of the Golden Horde of the Ming Dynasty was placed in the city of Moscow, which was completely taken over by the Ming Dynasty.
Responsible for the management of the indigenous people in the original Lucia territory.
Referring to the system that was once implemented in the Great Food Country, all Ming soldiers and residents in the two countries have a quota of foreign concubines by default.
Officers, bureaucrats, managers of government-run manufacturers, and all technicians with craftsman certificates of any rank were entitled to two foreign concubines.
Both countries temporarily retained the slavery system, but no individual was allowed to sell himself into slavery, and only the yamen had the right to reduce criminals and their relatives to slavery.
At present, there is no direct king in the two countries, and there is no complete local yamen for the time being, but the garrison is under military control.
The nobles, officials, soldiers, merchants, and proprietors of Lucia and other countries in the two countries were sent to the western part of Mozhou in batches to work as laborers.
Daming was originally going to exile these people to Mozhou to engage in development and construction.
Of course, the destination is not the big food country on the east coast of Mozhou, the east part of Mozhou is a good place now.
Only the Daming people and the ethnic groups in the Daming cultural circle near the Ming mainland have the opportunity to directly immigrate to the East Mozhou region of the Great Food Country.
The Ming Dynasty also had a colony in the western part of Mozhou, and in the westernmost part of the entire Mozhou continent, Zhu Jingyuan had Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and other places in his previous life.
Originally, it was used to house the Moes and Taixi people who were repatriated from Yinzhou.
There is still a lot of undeveloped land and plenty of dense pristine rainforest.
To the east of this land is the French Côte d'Ivoire, and further east are the colonies of the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Lucia, etc.
The intensity of warfare in the colonies was low, and most of the colonies were defended against each other.
However, the Ming Dynasty would definitely occupy these colonies in the future, and it would not be possible to allow the three Roman kingdoms to keep these colonies after the war was over.
The current Tessie sinners will be sent to work in these places in the future.
Before the Ming army took control of the Black Sea Straits, it was too troublesome to send these people to the west of Mozhou, and they had to detour from the Caucasus and the Great Food mainland.
The junta in the occupied territories will also need time to build up institutions, screen those who need to be repatriated and arrange for the Asian Games.
That's why it didn't start until it took control of the strait.
For these personnel, their origin is different, their attitude in the war is different, and now they are disposed of differently.
Any city or settlement surrendered voluntarily before the Ming attacked.
Then all the local nobles, officials, officers, soldiers, and proprietors themselves will be sent to Mozhou as indentured laborers to labor for twenty years to atone for their sins.
Everyone else in the family can continue to live in the area as civilians.
Any refusal to surrender before the Ming army attacked, the Ming army took the initiative to attack and armed occupied cities, as well as the army captured after the start of the war.
Then all the local nobles, officers, officials, and merchants were all shot on the spot.
In fact, the vast majority of these people have already been directly killed by the occupying forces on the battlefield.
Now it's the families they left behind to deal with.
All the men in their family were exiled to Mozhou as criminals and slaves to work for life to atone for their sins.
All women of the family were to be reduced to slavery, rewarded to meritorious Ming soldiers as slaves or concubines, or sold to the inhabitants of the Ming Dynasty who had emigrated past.
This is a typical punishment of "connecting and confiscating the family as a slave", which has not happened in the Ming Dynasty for many years.
Yang Yuchun basically didn't think much about it, and implemented this kind of order in Rome and the Golden Horde.
Soon, men of the wealthy class, such as aristocrats, officials, and merchants, began to be escorted from various cities to several ports on the Black Sea coast.
Just like in the old days of the slave trade, thousands were crammed into the cabins of various transport ships.
Then, under the escort of the Ming Navy, it crossed the Black Sea Strait into the Great Qin Sea, sailed out of the Great Qin Sea from Gibraltar, and sailed south into the Atlantic Ocean.
Finally, they went ashore in Guinea and other places in the southwest of Mexico, and began their labor and atonement for their sins.
In the process, the armies of the Ming in other regions were also advancing.
Riots and repressions are constantly occurring, and the continent of Tessie, which is full of deserters and defecting officers and nobles, is basically unable to resist.
But in the midst of this chaos, there is also no one who is qualified to surrender directly on behalf of somewhere.
So the war is nominally continuing.
By the 15th day of the fifth month of the fourth year of the Grand Duke, the entire territory of Lucia and the Balkans had been occupied by the Ming army.
The battle line on the continent of Tessie advanced to the border between Germany and the Holy Roman Empire.
By this time, how fast the Ming army was advancing, many times it was no longer looking at the speed of the attack, but at the actual speed of receiving.
The interior of the Tessie Continent is now completely chaotic.
Although the upper echelons controlled the imperial court and did not allow surrender, most of the actual combat corps and local officials at the grassroots level would surrender directly when they encountered the Ming troops.
The distinction between surrender and post-war capture is now fully clear.
After 20 years of labor and atonement, the whole family was given a cash of 100 silver bills.
Those who did not surrender were directly killed on the battlefield, all the men in the family worked for life, all the women were sold into slavery, and all the property was naturally confiscated.
The point is, even if someone wants to fight, they can't beat it at all.
There is also the possibility of being killed by a riot that can occur at any time, and soldiers suddenly disappear at any time.
The rich people with a little ability all tried to continue to flee to the west before the Ming army arrived, looking for an opportunity to smuggle to the United Kingdom.
Even if you can't go to the UK, it's a while to continue to hide for a while.
If the Ming commander is greedy for credit, it may only take two to three months to directly bulldoze all the remaining land on the Taixi continent.
But Yang Yuchun still honestly controlled the speed of advancement.
If the subsequent occupation forces, receiving personnel, and management personnel are not in place, and the lines of communication and communication with the rear are unstable, they will not continue to advance indefinitely.
Now it is not so much an offensive as it is about receiving the occupied territories.
If the Ming Dynasty is willing to let go of some conditions for the existing ruling class in Taixi, the rest of the entire continent can be "passed on to the other"
But neither the Ming court nor the operational command were prepared to do so.
Yang Yuchun even felt that the progress was a little too fast.
Yang Yuchun and most of the staff officers still did not have enough prediction of the deterrent effect of strategic weapons.
It does not fully take into account how much effect the relevant news has produced after fermentation among the people through the dissemination of media such as newspapers and radio.
The efficiency of mechanized warfare and the destruction of the battlefield are also underestimated.
Yang Yuchun and his staff officers estimated that at most one more year would be able to fully accept the Taixi Continent, and if it was fast, it might be enough for half a year.
And it is even possible to abandon the preparation for a large-scale landing operation.
When planning the entire campaign, the staff officers suggested preparing for a landing battle in three places: northern France, southern Spain, and southern Italy.
In line with the direction of the land offensive, the last remnants of the Tessian countries were encircled and annihilated in western Germany.
Therefore, in the corresponding three places of southern Britain, northern Morocco, and northern Tunisia, the collection and preparation of war materials and personnel began in advance.
After discussing with the staff officers, Yang Yuchun decided to continue the landing battle, but it should start in advance.
In particular, the landing battle in France had to be fought.
Before the Ming Dynasty entered the war, the British did not use much force at all, and after the Ming Dynasty entered the war, the British had no chance to exert themselves.
The British can't just be allowed to escape.
As a result, Yang Yuchun ordered the ground forces on the German border to slow down even further.
At the same time, it was asked that the British speed up and launch a landing war before the end of July, with the Ming Navy and Air Force responsible for assisting and escorting.
The landing from Tunisia to Italy is scheduled before the end of August, depending on the situation.
It was July 20th.
The 200,000 British Army, under the cover of the Ming Navy and Air Force, launched an offensive on the Calais coast area.
The first was the airborne troops delivered by transport planes, and then the troops delivered by helicopters by Daming's new "anti-submarine landing carriers".
Under the supervision of the Ming Overseers, these British could not follow the French as they did two years ago.
The combat effectiveness of the British was not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, and the key was that their opponents knew that they did not have divine punishment weapons, so their will to fight was relatively high.
There is no way to be like the Ming army, where the defenders can be turned down.
The landing force attacking the troops on the shore was itself a relatively weak side, so the British fought a more tragic battle.
However, after all, they have the cover of the Ming Navy and Air Force, and at the same time, they know that they will inevitably win this battle.
So he persistently withstood the counterattack of the Germans, successfully climbed the coast of Calais and captured the port of Calais.
Then a large number of transport ships from the Ming and Britain began to quickly transport millions of British troops to the French battlefield.
As soon as the landing force was formed, it began to attack in both the southwest and northeast directions.
The British army did not advance as fast as Daming, but on the whole it was relatively smooth, and the occupation area gradually expanded to the surrounding areas.
At the end of August, the 1st and 2nd Corps, the main force of the Ming Dynasty, finally came to Berlin, and the 3rd Army in the south entered the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula.
The German royal family and the main nobles, the main officials of the German kingdom, as well as a large number of top merchants and bankers.
Before the Ming army came to Berlin, they had already set off ahead of schedule and fled to Bonn in western Germany.
They were going to go to Paris, but as a result the British launched a landing battle on the Western Front.
The situation around the city of Berlin was already extremely chaotic, and after losing the spiritual pillar of the top floor led by the royal family, the remaining defenders of Berlin quickly surrendered directly.
On the Italian side, the royal family of Savoy and a large number of Italian nobles, officials, and officers also wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run.
Italy is a peninsula, the northern part of the peninsula has been completely controlled by the Ming army, and the Great Qin Sea around the peninsula is also completely controlled by the Ming air force and navy.
The key is that the Ming army in the north of Mozhou has successfully landed in Sicily, and it is about to be pushed north along the peninsula.
They had been trapped in the middle of the isolated Apennine Peninsula, and had no way to escape but to defend the city of Rome.
At the end of September, the Ming army landed in southern Spain, and the British legions stormed Paris.
At the end of October, the armies of the northern and southern sides of the Ming Dynasty met under the city of Rome, and then issued an ultimatum to the court of the Kingdom of Italy.
The Italians' intention to surrender was originally the highest, if it weren't for the merchants and nobles who were coerced, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty who really didn't give any conditions at all, they would have surrendered a long time ago.
Now they are completely cornered, and most of them do not have the courage to die together, so they can only choose to surrender in the end.
Yang Yuchun accepted their surrender, and the fighting on the Italian side was basically over.
The main force of the Italian region returned to the north of the peninsula, from the home of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Savoy region, into the south of France.
At the beginning of February of the fifth year of the Grand Duke, the two armies of the Ming Dynasty jointly captured the whole of Spain.
On 8 February, the Lucian royal family and the remaining nobility toppers surrendered in Madrid.
At the beginning of May, the 1st and 2nd Army Corps, the main force of the Ming Dynasty, together with the British Corps, captured all of Germany and France.
On 12 May, the main members of the German royal family, the last of the German nobles and officials, surrendered in the Luxembourg Valley.
The main battle on the Tessie continent is basically over.
On May 25, under the orders of the kings of the Three Kingdoms, who had already surrendered, the colonial garrisons and officials of the Three Kingdoms in Mozhou surrendered to the Ming army.
The new round of the war is over.
The author is not very good at writing war scenes, and by this time, there is nothing left to write about the war, the basic data and the force are too different, especially with strategic weapons, the opponent can no longer make effective resistance. So let's finish talking about the war as soon as possible, and start finishing up on the political, cultural, and economic aspects, the book is almost finished, and it should be finished within this month.
