The Atlantic Fleet of China wreaked havoc on the British coast, directly destroying the shipyards of the British.

Several sail battleships under construction were burned down.

Of course, the losses of the dockyard and skilled shipbuilders were greater than those of the warships.

Being so manipulated by the Chinese that Britain will not be able to rebuild ships for a year and a half.

However, Deng Gang knew very well that their biggest target at this time was not Britain, and the top priority was to support the East India Company in Amsterdam.

The third prince Li Xingzu is also there, after all, the gun has no eyes, in case there are three long and two short, how should he explain to His Majesty?

After teaching the British a lesson, they headed straight for Amsterdam.

Although in order to deal with the Chinese, several European countries formed a combined fleet in the Netherlands.

However, in order to deal with the castle of Merton, where the East India Company was located, the Combined Fleet successively dismantled seven or eight hundred guns, and now many warships are not enough firepower.

At the beginning, the commander of the Combined Fleet Navy, Wilson, did not agree to dismantle the ship's guns to attack the city, and now when the enemy is attacking, they can only face the battle.

Fortunately, Wilson still had a hand and did not move the guns on the sail battleship.

Otherwise, now they are all target ships.

Although Britain and the Netherlands are also desperately building sail battleships, their national strength is no longer on the same level as that of China.

Even with all their efforts, only 13 sail battleships have been built today, and the largest displacement is only 3,200 tons.

Neither the quantity nor the quality of the sail battleships were the opponents of the Chinese.

Soon the Chinese battleships took the lead in launching artillery bombardments on enemy ships by taking advantage of the firing range.

The 40-pounder guns on the Moskva and Kiev were almost indestructible, and a single salvo inflicted heavy damage on the British "Sea King".

This huge gap cannot be bridged by tactics, not to mention the fact that there are still quite a few warships in the combined fleet that lack artillery.

In less than half an hour before the start of the war, eight sail battleships of the Combined Fleet were sunk, and countless others were sunk.

The sea was littered with debris of sunken ships and sailors struggling in the sea.

Wilson and others were unable to break through and eventually had to retreat to the port of Amsterdam.

Although the Dutch harbor had some protective forts, they were like toys in the face of the Chinese ships.

Soon Deng Gang issued an ultimatum to them, if the remnants of the combined fleet did not surrender, the Huaxia fleet would sink them all.

Amsterdam will be in ruins.

After some deliberation, Wilson finally surrendered on behalf of the Combined Fleet.

After taking over the remaining enemy ships, the landing force captured the port of Amsterdam without blood.

The Dutch had a very small mainland area, and all their efforts were focused on fighting for supremacy at sea, so they did not have much land in the country.

Even with reinforcements from other countries, there are more than 30,000 people in total.

In their opinion, these forces were more than enough to deal with a fortress of the East Ryukyu Company.

But I never thought that the Chinese army was actually equipped with machine guns.

The machine gun is combined with the fortress, no matter how many troops go up, it is a "head-off"!

The coalition forces under the command of the Duke of Hesse had lost tens of thousands of casualties, and now there were more than 20,000 people left, and their morale was completely lost.

In the face of the attack of the 20,000 Huaxia troops that landed, they could only passively defend.

Although the rifles of the Chinese landing force were more advanced than those of the Allied forces, the Allied forces had many of the heavy guns that had been removed from the warships.

In terms of firepower, it completely overwhelmed the 12-pounder Napoleonic guns of the Chinese landing force.

After all, the casualties of a strong attack will be very large, and the Chinese army rarely fights this kind of battle that is forced to attack the fortified position at the expense of casualties.

So the two sides reached a stalemate, and the Chinese army would not be able to capture the allied army for a while and a half.

The Duke of Hesse was not stupid, and knew that the East Ryukyu Company in the fortress was likely to send troops to attack back and forth.

So he reserved 5,000 troops to block the Eastern Ryukyu Company behind him.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Huaxia artillery, which had been extinguished a long time ago, suddenly became powerful again.

The heavy artillery fire in Merton Castle not only blew up his preset blocking position, but also blew up their artillery position.

At this time, the artillery muzzles of the coalition forces were all aimed at the landing Huaxia Army, and it was too late to temporarily turn the muzzles.

Despite the efforts of the allied gunners to push the artillery, a second round of shelling from Merton Castle soon arrived.

As soon as the landing force in China saw that the positions of the coalition forces had been shelled, they immediately organized their men and horses to launch a charge.

Without the support of heavy artillery, the allied army naturally could not stop the attack of the Huaxia Army.

Eventually, the Duke of Hesse led more than 10,000 remnants of his army to retreat to the province of Utrecht, south of Amsterdam.

However, at this time, the strength of the Huaxia Army in the Netherlands was more than 20,000 people, which was still relatively thin.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong did not choose to fully occupy the Dutch provinces, but only occupied the province of North Holland, where Amsterdam is located.

Now he only had to hold the bridgehead of Amsterdam and wait for Li Shizu's reinforcements to depart from the Polish port of Danzig.

Although the Netherlands did not have many troops in the country, after all, France was close at hand, and if Louis XIII sent a large army north, he would probably lose sight of one or the other.

Zheng Zhilong's judgment was indeed correct, when the British learned that the Chinese had occupied Amsterdam, they really asked France to immediately send troops to support the Netherlands.

To be honest, France did not have much conflict with China, and Louis XIII sent troops to reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, the ports of Bordeaux, Nantes, and Calais along his coast were directly destroyed by the Chinese sailors.

Moreover, the coalition forces in which France participated were also repelled by the Huaxia Army on land.

Therefore, the King of France was hesitant to respond to the request of the British.

Now that the Chinese sailors have completely controlled the control of the sea, even if the French army wins, it will be difficult to recover Amsterdam.

What's more, the Chinese sailors could transport the Chinese army from Poland to the Netherlands at any time.

Now if France wants to send troops alone, he will definitely not be happy!

So Louis XIII said that the mobilization and assembly of the French army would also take time, and the Chinese army was too strong for the French army to do it alone.

The Spanish army was too far away from the Netherlands, but the British army was separated by only one English Channel.

Louis XIII demanded that Britain must join forces with him before he could send troops.

Now the Chinese have the right to control the sea, if Britain wants to send troops, it must smuggle across the English Channel, once discovered by the Chinese warships, the consequences can be imagined.

But if the Chinese occupy the Netherlands, then their next target must be London.

Eventually, Charles I decided to send 12,000 British soldiers to Calais in France.

On a windy and rough night, hundreds of small boats began to cross the strait by the moonlight.

Although the Chinese patrol boats were discovered, because most of the British were small boats, nearly 6,000 British troops eventually managed to smuggle into the Calais area.

Since France did not send troops at the first time, the Chinese army was given enough time to build a defensive line.

Now they have built several lines of defense on the road from Utrecht to Amsterdam.

The 50,000 coalition troops have been attacking for half a month, but it is still difficult to move an inch.

Moreover, the Chinese naval artillery was far farther than they imagined, and the Huaxia people made accurate calculations when building their positions, and the attacking coalition forces were often attacked by naval guns.

At this time, the Kingdom of Denmark, under the mediation of Sweden, also concluded a non-aggression pact with China.

In this way, the warships were able to enter the waters of Jutland and completely open up the Baltic Sea routes.

And 10,000 Chinese soldiers also arrived in the port of Amsterdam from the port of Danzig.

With these 10,000 people, Zheng Zhilong is enough to control the situation in the entire Netherlands.

The reason why Li Shizu did not send more soldiers was not because of the lack of troops, but because he was ready to open the land passage directly.

Danzig is not too far from the Netherlands, less than a thousand kilometers.

Although the Holy Roman Empire had hundreds of states at this time, there were not many major states.

As long as the Chinese army occupied the three states of Brandenburg, Saxony, and Lorraine, it could open up the entire North German region.

In order to prevent Austria, the largest state of the Holy Roman Empire, from causing chaos, Li Shizu took the initiative to contact the Ottoman Empire and let them continue the siege of Vienna.

He then led an army of 120,000 men and began an attack on the Kingdom of Brandenburg.

Previously, when annexing Prussia, the Chinese army had already eliminated 12,000 Brandenburg's main cavalry.

Frederick II of the Kingdom of Brandenburg knew that he was no match for the Chinese, so he united more than a dozen states of Holy Rome to form a coalition of 50,000 North German troops.

The North German coalition was dominated by the armies of Brandenburg and Saxony.

A fierce battle ensued in the city of Berlin.

Despite the unusually sharp artillery of the Chinese, the walls of Berlin were crumbling.

However, the will to fight of the North German coalition army was very strong, even if the soldiers on the city wall were wiped out by the Chinese artillery and snipers again and again, they still rushed to the city wall again and again to fight with the Chinese soldiers.

This scene even the battle-hardened Wu Sangui admired very much.

The city of Berlin, which was thought to be easily captured, actually fought hard for many days.

Wu Sangui was ready to personally lead his troops to attack the city and promise to take Berlin today.

However, Li Shizu stopped him, and the advantage of the Huaxia army was to kill and wound the enemy through positional warfare, as well as to use the advantage of cavalry to destroy the opponent.

This kind of forcible siege warfare is indeed not much fought.

Since Berlin was so difficult to bite, they simply changed their tactics and feinted to attack Berlin, so as to encircle and send reinforcements.

The battle of Berlin really aroused the desire of the German nation to fight, and more and more Holy Roman states sent troops to support Berlin.

But soon they became the object of hunting by the Cossack cavalry.

Reinforcements from Bohemia, Thuringia, Nuremberg and other places were slaughtered, and more than 40,000 people were killed by the Chinese army.

Seeing that the purpose of encircling the point and sending reinforcements had been achieved, the Huaxia Army began to attack Berlin.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin was still bombarded.

Due to the fierce resistance of the North German Confederation in this battle, Li Shizu issued a rare "slaughter order" in China!

The fire burned for more than ten days, and the entire city of Berlin was almost razed to the ground!

The brutality of the Chinese army deterred all the states of North Germany.

After that, wherever the Chinese cavalry went, the city-states along the way surrendered one after another and opened the city gates.

The Chinese army directly killed on the banks of the Rhine, and Hanbao, Cologne, Aachen, Brussels and other places directly opened the city and surrendered.

Eventually, the Chinese army entered the Netherlands.

Grogenin, Gelderland and other provinces surrendered to China one after another.

The Cossack cavalry swung their sabers at the Anglo-French forces in the Dutch region.

The British and French infantry, who could not retreat, were killed by the Cossack cavalry that suddenly came out, leaving not a single piece of armor left.

Eventually, only a few thousand fled back to France.

In this battle, the Chinese army annihilated more than 100,000 Holy Roman Empire and the main force of the Anglo-French alliance.

It made the whole of Europe tremble.

Europeans lamented the return of the "whip of God" that terrified them back then.

This group of demons from the East will bring disaster to Europe.

Li Shizu and Li Xingzu's two brothers have not seen each other for many years.

Li Shizu has not returned to China for nearly five years since he followed his father to the Western Regions in the fourth year of Qianxi.

He never imagined that the third brother, who was a child back then, has now become a "European vampire" that makes Europeans talk about it.

In particular, through the acquisition of the Dutch East India Company, it directly took the Dutch East Indies.

This operation is really incredible, I'm afraid even my father can't think of it, and I'm afraid that a prince can't run away.

Li Xingzu said: "The second brother doesn't know, in fact, the fourth brother is also very powerful, and the machine gun he invented is the real killer." ”

"And he also built a steam engine, and my father told me that with a steam-powered locomotive, as long as Huaxia finishes building the railway, it can run three or four hundred miles a day."

Li Shizu understood what this meant, and if the railway was really completed, it might only take three months to return to Beijing from Europe.

This meant that the efficiency of the Chinese Empire's rule would be greatly improved.

Although there are still many European countries that have not been directly conquered by China, Li Shizu knows that as long as he defeats France, the power of the European army, then the whole of Europe will probably have no opponents.

However, it may no longer be necessary to rely on the army to conquer Europe, and many European royal families, including Britain and France, have proposed to marry with China.

Li Shizu has already married the Mughal emperor, so naturally he can only say sorry to these European royal princesses.

However, the third prince Li Xingzu has not yet married a wife, so he is naturally the first choice of these European kings.

In addition, this "European vampire" is the richest man in Europe, and there is an endless stream of people who propose marriage.

It's a pity that Li Shizu is only his second brother, and he can't make decisions for him.

In the end, who to marry depends on the will of the father.

Now there is no financial war in Europe, so Li Xingzu took the letters of marriage proposal from the envoys of various countries and boarded the warship to return to Beijing.
