"Not long ago, we just got the news that Northern Europe has been annexed by the Ming Kingdom!"
In response to the continued westward expansion of the Ming Empire, European countries, at the invitation of the French Bourbons, sent their own representatives to hold talks in Normandy.Even the Pope of Rome sent people.The French aristocrat Philippe therefore brought up a newly obtained piece of information at the meeting.After hearing this, the representatives of the European countries present all felt a little nervous."
AhhIn this way, it is now getting closer and closer to the time when the Ming army will annex us!
”"What should I do?""
Why did the insatiable Ming army have to rescue these serfs and not let us, the European nobles, live?!"
…… These nobles also talked about it.Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Some European aristocrats even slapped the table incessantly, showing great indignation.As a result, the entire conference hall was very noisy."
Everyone, please be quiet!""
Everyone, please be quiet!""
Quiet army, please!"
…… Philip shouted several times before everyone fell silent.Then, Philip began to call: "Therefore, we must continue to unite against this torrent from the East, and we must keep our culture from extinction!"
”"That's right, when the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was destroyed, we didn't pay attention to it, when Austria was annexed, we didn't pay attention to it, and now even Sweden and Denmark and the Kingdom of Norway have been destroyed, if we don't do anything else, then we will really be forced to take a bath every day!"
Monmouth, Duke of England, chimed in."
I swear to death that the Easterners will not realize the conspiracy of forcing us Westerners to take a bath every day!""
We have the right not to take a bath!"
Lemur, the count of the Duchy of Venice, raised his arms and shouted, obviously disgusted by the Ming army's behavior of forcing the captives to take a bath."
Yes, defend the right not to take a bath to the death!""
Let's not take a shower!""
We want to be dirty ourselves, this is freedom!"
The nobles of the European countries shouted enthusiastically because of this, and they were very enthusiastic.Seeing this, Philip also nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I am very willing to see this scene, to see that we Westerners can have such bloodiness and be so consistent, I believe that as long as we are brave and fearless, we can completely resist the westward advance of the Ming army!"
”"I propose to form a grand alliance, elect the leader of the alliance, and launch an active attack on the Ming army together, forcing them to stop the war of annexation of our territory!"
Monmouth called out at this time."
Yes!"
Philip nodded."
Yes!""
Yes!"
The nobility of other European countries also expressed their approval.Only the representative of Switzerland, the Marquis de Senald, stood up at this time and said: "I am neutral!"
”The nobles of the European countries all looked at Sennard in amazement.Sennard said: "I think everyone needs a place to temporarily transfer their personal property, once the Ming army raids and breaks through a certain castle, especially the self-defense force composed of serfs from all over the country!"
”A hundred years ago, Switzerland became a haven for many European aristocrats to escape with money to avoid political catastrophe.Therefore, now Sennard also uses this as an excuse to hope that the nobility of various countries will allow Switzerland to be neutral.After hearing this, Philippe and other European nobles also unanimously expressed their understanding, and were willing to let Switzerland maintain its neutral status, and were ready to transfer their wealth to Switzerland at that time.Sennard thanked him for this and said he was willing to raise the bank interest.The other European countries that had not yet been annexed by the Ming Dynasty united again and formed a new joint organization, the Grand Alliance.......
"Grand Alliance!
Presumably, it is not much better than the previous United Army, and if you don't take the initiative to give up your interests to civilians, you just want to stop me with a few thugs raised by yourself?
It's like a dream!
”Zhu Youxiao sneered when he learned that Britain and France had established a grand alliance."
What Your Majesty said is, but it is impossible for them to give up their interests to the civilians, in that case, they are equivalent to killing themselves, and there is no difference between taking the initiative to surrender to my Daming!""
It's like, when the internal reform was eliminated, the conservatives didn't know that they could stop the strict government of the imperial court if they were beneficial to the common people, nor did they not know that they couldn't fight the imperial court on their own, but they were still stubborn and stubborn, and they went forward one after another to fight against the imperial court and did not benefit the common people, also because once they did that, it was equivalent to taking their own lives."
Wen Tiren said at this time."
That's right, if the Xiyi nobles can make their civilians rich and open the market, my Ming Dynasty will no longer have the need to continue to unify the world by military means, and directly use science and technology monopoly to make the world's profits flow into my Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Tongchang said."
It's not like they haven't worked on it!
Such as Louis XIV, James II; It's just that those who worked hard have all fallen into the water one after another!
”Plug Yinxi suddenly interjected at this time.Everyone fell silent.Zhu Youxiao laughed in the end: "This is very right, I am also lucky to survive it, otherwise I would have fallen into the water a long time ago!"
”From the "Emperor's Holy Teachings" and the ideas put forward by the Xingming Society, it can be seen that Your Majesty is a person who has a thorough understanding of governing the country, although the ministers are saints and disciples, they are not as good as Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's theory of governing the country is obviously more like the science advocated by Your Majesty after his accession to the throne, emphasizing facts and reasoning, so that any charm and spirit said in His Majesty's Wen Tiren.The other ministers nodded for this.And Zhu Youxiao only sighed: "It's a pity that I made this theory public to the world and made it read intensively, but the world put it on the shelf, and even refused to read it intensively, and did everything possible to prevent others from reading it, just as the "Great Message" of the Taizu Dynasty was also hidden. ”"Extreme desire for poverty and luxury, comfort and pleasure, is a natural desire, even if the hadith is taught, it is difficult to contain, and even will be resisted, this is normal, fortunately now the empire can continue to take the benefits of other countries to support its own lazy people, and when the world is truly unified in the future, the lazy people will return to poverty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, Rao is full of grain and meat, and those who cannot afford to buy rice and meat are only afraid that there will be."
Wen Tiren replied at this time.Zhu Cizhuo couldn't help but say at this time: "It's nothing for lazy people to return to poverty, but I'm afraid that those who return to poverty are people from non-wealthy families, although they work hard all day long, it is rare to have temporary stability." ”"This is what the imperial court should be wary of!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded."
In the view of the sons, we have to advocate the style of frugality, can not encourage the style of extravagance, especially in advance consumption, now there are businesses for profit, vigorously advocate early consumption, the people do not know the harm, only know the joy in the meantime, and when the poisoning has been deep, it is difficult to return to the former style of diligence, now the local, there has been a rich and no money are particularly particular, big arrangement, so on, the future of the local Han people will no longer be industrious!
And gradually overtaken by foreigners. ”Zhu Cizhuo replied."
Born in sorrow and dying in peace, the words of the saint still have some truth, after the world is unified, we must pay attention to this problem, especially the people of the next generation!"
Zhu Youxiao said because of this.…… Although Emperor Zhu Youxiao and his auxiliary ministers had begun to worry that the Han people would be in peace, the younger generation of nobles of the Ming Empire were still full of vitality.The fifth prince, Zhu Cizhuo, was immediately on the edge of Hamburg on the bank of the Elbe River, and pointed ahead with a whip, and said with high spirits: "The Mongols were able to hit the Rhine River back then, and now my Han family sons should surpass them, drink the Massena River, and cross the Atlantic!"
”"Your Highness said yes!
The city of Hamburg has been conquered, and the next thing is Hannover, and when Hannover is taken, it will be able to encircle Nuremberg from the north and south, and then it will not be far from the banks of the Rhine. ”Li Dingguo replied at this time."
It's a pity that this Duke of Hanover, Caleber, is a stubborn man, and he refuses to surrender, and he still has to work hard."
Zhu Cizhuo sighed because of this."
Yes, this Duchy of Hanover not only refuses to surrender, but also repeatedly withstands the attacks of the local serf self-defense forces, and now it seems that it is best to cut off its grain and grass and trap it to death, and we should continue to cooperate with the local serf self-defense forces to fight back against the local aristocratic army."
Li Dingguo continued to reply.Zhu Cizhuo smiled faintly: "You're right, but what I don't know now is how this European alliance will use troops?"
”"It is likely that they will rely on the large mountainous area southwest of the Elbe to build a defensive line, and will no longer take the initiative to attack like the European coalition forces before them, and the southwest of the Elbe, all the way to the outskirts of Paris, is very conducive to building a defensive line.Li Dingguo replied.After hearing this, Zhu Cizhuo immediately had an idea, and said with a smile: "In this case, your department will launch the serfs in this area and attack in the direction of the Rhine, remember, the momentum should be big, by the way, let's test what the strategy of this grand alliance is, and how they want to stop our unification plan!"
As soon as there is important news, report it immediately, and His Highness will take the main force back to the Netherlands to rest for a while!
”"Refresh?"
It didn't take long for Li Dingguo to understand, and he bowed his hand to Zhu Cizhuo: "Your Highness is smart!
”Zhu Cizhuo therefore led the army to the Netherlands.The Netherlands is the ruling area of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cizhuo naturally has no trouble going to the Netherlands.And now, after negotiations, the European alliance really believes that when the defense is the mainstay, relying on the favorable terrain to resist the Ming army, or carry out a movement war, after the Ming army penetrates deep into the mountains behind it, it will continue to send small elite troops to attack and harass the Ming army.Because the rest of Europe, with the exception of the northwest and southwest of France, is mountainous and plateau."
I propose to build a defensive line in the Ardennes Heights by relying on the terrain, extending all the way to the Alps, delaying the Ming army's attack in this area, and preparing for the initiative attack behind!"
Phelps's trusted general, Pross, said to the generals of the Grand Alliance.Monmouth agreed, and said, "There's no better way!"
Without relying on the terrain, it is impossible to defeat the Ming army, we have to admit this, but we need to pay attention to whether the Ming army will be spared from the direct direction of the Netherlands!
”"This must be monitored at all times, a large number of fleets will be placed between your English and my French channels, and if a large corps is found in the direction of the Netherlands, it will be withdrawn to the central plateau in the south at any time, and at that time, Paris will have to abandon it first."
Pros said.Monmouth nodded: "That's fine!"
”Then, Pros smiled and said: "No matter how the Ming army fights next, it will not be as easy as his attack in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, once the Rhine River is crossed, the east and south are high grounds, even if they are good at fighting, the Mongols from the east back then will turn here." ”"That's right, we should have confidence that the next Ming army will not realize its ambition of unifying Europe so easily!"
Monmouth replied.......
"The next Europe will not be as easy to fight as before, and its southern and eastern parts are mountainous, which is not conducive to the mobility of our army, and we must change the previous method of fighting with large corps on the great plains." ”Daming Jingshi.Zhu Youxiao also talked about this matter with his ministers."
If necessary, the army should be replaced, and the army that is good at fighting on the plains should begin to move back one after another, go to the lower reaches of the Danube to fight the Ottomans, or use the fleet to send out various coasts respectively, and give more middle-level officers the opportunity to fight independently, and the army that is good at the mountains must be increased, and more opportunities should be given to middle-level officers to fight independently, so that they can carry out continuous operations in the mountainous areas of southern and western Europe!"
Lu Xiangsheng put forward his own views.Du Yinxi said: "On the periphery of these mountains, that is, the plains from the Elbe River to the Loire River, there are still enough soldiers, which is equivalent to setting up a fence and sending elites who are good at mountain and jungle warfare into the mountains to suppress them, and drive the European troops hidden in these mountains out, so that the European troops that are driven out can be wiped out by the outer armies, which can be regarded as a way to deal with the European armies who will use the terrain to maneuver around to attack." ”Zhu Youxiao glanced at Du Yinxi in surprise and said, "Aiqing's words are very appropriate!"
Immediately send orders to Zhu Cizhuo, Li Dingguo, Liu Zhaoji, and others, telling them not to attack rashly, but to rush to the cause of reunification, and let them study the countermeasures well, and refrain from fighting positional warfare in the area of the Ardennes with the European alliance, so as not to lose their own troops excessively!
”"Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness has sent a report, imploring the imperial court to change the next ordnance supplement to supplement the combat vehicles that can move quickly, especially the recently installed tracked internal combustion engine combat vehicles, that is, the combat vehicles named tanks by His Majesty, saying that the list of required numbers will be sent next."
At this time, Li Ruolian, the left governor of Jinyi Wei, suddenly walked in and reported."
What do you want a tank for?"
Zhang Tongchang couldn't help asking.Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is going to make a big deal!"
”"Agree with him!
Continue to increase the order for tanks to the General Ordnance Factory, mobilize all the steamers, and all the Baltics to transport tanks to Hamburg!
In addition, tell the fifth child that he can spend more time, as long as he can annihilate the new force of the European Grand Alliance in one fell swoop!
”Zhu Youxiao said at this time.......
"My father agreed to my request and encouraged His Highness to do so, so then, after my order is issued, Duke Liu, you will be responsible for taking the main force mainly tanks and chariots, and go directly to the back of the Ardennes Heights to attack Paris in France!"
”After receiving the telegram from the Privy Council of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cizhuo immediately excitedly ran to Liu Zhaoji in person and said."
Yes!"
Liu Zhaoji responded, but couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, you say, would these Xiyi people also think that we would bypass the Ardennes Heights and directly attack their Paris?"
”"They will naturally think of it, but even if they do, they will not be able to stop the steel torrent that His Highness is about to launch!
Of course, it is best if Li Dingguo can play a good trick in the lower reaches of the Rhine, so that these Xiyi people really think that our Ming Wang Division is going to fight a positional war with them, and fight from the Rhine to the Rhine line one by one, so as to completely cut off the connection between Britain and France and the southern European countries!
”Zhu Cizhuo looked at Liu Zhaoji as he spoke, and said: "So, this is also the meaning that I will also go to Li Dingguo in person to confuse them!"
”......
"We have just received news that the commander of the Fifth Highness of the Ming Kingdom has appeared in the Netherlands, and he seems to be intent on attacking you France from the direction of the Netherlands. ”Monmouth came to Pruss that day to share his latest information.And Prus said: "The latest news we have received is that his banner has appeared on the banks of the Rhine again, and even the scouts we sent have seen him on the mountain, just because they don't dare to get too close, otherwise, they can take the opportunity to shoot him!"
”"When did you people see it?""
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Three days ago.""
I was ten days ago."
When Monmouth said this, he frowned and said, "It seems that he came from the Netherlands to the Rhine, could it be said that he gave up attacking from the direction of the Netherlands?"
But why was he reluctant to march directly from the direction of the Netherlands?
”"He probably wanted to cut us off from southern Europe and isolate France."
Pruss replied."
Makes sense!
If the bread is too big, you always have to cut it into several pieces before you can eat it. ”Monmouth nodded.Prussia smiled and said, "That's right!
They are trying to use the serfs they have bewitched to forcibly open up the central plateau and the narrow strip of the Alps!
”Li Dingguo was indeed following Zhu Cizhuo's order, mobilizing the army under his command to launch a battle for the position of the Xiyi soldiers defending the heights in the area of the Ardennes Plateau."
Defeat them, and you will win work and bread for all the people of the world!
They need your sacrifice!
”"Don't be afraid of bloodshed, don't be afraid of sacrifice!
Die for justice and die as you deserve!
”"I don't dare to fight a hard battle, I don't dare to shed any blood, is that still a brave army to save the suffering people in the world?!"
…… Li Dingguo also personally went to the front of the position to encourage the Xiyi serfs who had been rescued by the Ming Dynasty and joined the Self-Defense Forces, and encouraged them to continue to exert their courage in the positional battle.And these Xiyi serfs were therefore very active in attacking the positions held by the European Grand Alliance Army one after another with the main force of the Ming army."
Rush!
For our land, for our work, and to fight to the end with these self-serving exploiters!
”"Rush!
In order not to take a bath!
To atone for our sins!
For our culture!
”The two sides shouted different slogans as they charged, and a fierce battle ensued.For a time, the entire Ardennes Heights, especially many places along the Rhine, were covered with blood, and many people were killed and wounded, like meat grinders.However, most of the casualties were the Xiyi themselves.Both sides have their own reasons for being fanatical.It's just that although the Ming army seems to be attacking fiercely, it is actually just deliberately acting.Li Dingguo and Zhu Cizhuo even staged a bitter plan, and on the colonel's field, Zhu Cizhuo personally beat Li Dingguo's 50 military sticks because he was unable to capture a hill for a long time.Li Dingguo was even furious because of this, and threatened to impeach Zhu Cizhuo, and from then on only served the Seven Princes.The Grand Alliance of the European countries really believed it and began to desperately build a defensive line around the Ardennes and the Alps, and even the guards in the city of Paris were transferred here.At this time, the magnates of the city of Paris also breathed a sigh of relief.The regent Philip was even moved and relieved by this, and said to Louis XV: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our defense line in the Ardennes is very strong and wide, even if the Ming army opens the way with poison gas bombs, it will be difficult to break through!"
When they are exhausted and do not continue to attack, then my army hiding in the rear can take the opportunity to counterattack, and by the way, we can take the Netherlands, and even the entire Holy Roman Empire, and maybe, in the future, our France will be able to unify the entire European continent because of this!
”Louis XV was impressed: "That's good!
Uncle hard work!
”"Who made your uncle and I also a member of the Bourbon dynasty."
As he spoke, Philip asked, "What about your mother?"
”"Inside.""
I'll go in and talk to her, you go outside, don't come in for a while, or your uncle and your mother will be angry.""
Okay."
The nobles of all parties gathered in the Grand Alliance of France were thus taken lightly, and even continued to enjoy the glitz and glamour.The French newspapers catered to their needs, reporting daily how many days their army had held the heights, and praising the valiant men who defended their French.Pruce even made a trip back to Paris and, surrounded by many newspapers, gave a speech in which he threatened to stop the Oriental invasion on the Rhine by scorched earth warfare.But what these people didn't know was that Liu Zhaoji had been ordered by Zhu Cizhuo to convene a meeting of all the high-ranking generals of the Ming Dynasty in the Netherlands, and said: "As you all know, this France has become more and more prosperous because of its trade with my Ming Dynasty, so the roads are criss-crossed, there are many bridges and ports, and the land is flat, and the Netherlands has been the same since it was ruled by my Ming Dynasty, and a large number of roads have been built to facilitate rapid travel; Therefore, the general ordered the commander to secretly assemble a large number of tanks, chariots, and newly appeared planes in Berlin, and the other is the steamer, and when the time comes, he will directly use these tools to suddenly send troops from the Netherlands, return to Paris in a big detour, and join forces with the general inside and outside, and annihilate the living forces of the European Grand Alliance in one fell swoop!
And this great roundabout battle, His Majesty personally issued an edict and named it Blitzkrieg!
”Liu Zhaoji paused when he said this, looked at the officials present and ordered: "Now, this commander ordered, the blitzkrieg began, and all departments set off immediately in accordance with the designated order, and reported the situation of the march to the official at any time, if anyone is one step behind, the military law will be engaged!"
”"Yes!"
As a result, when the European nobles in the city of Paris were still drunk and dreaming of death, the mechanized troops of the Ming army, which had already been prepared, suddenly pointed directly in the direction of Normandy.On land, along the coast of northern France, the iron flow is rolling and the road is full of smoke and dust.On the sea, in the Channel of Dofland and the English Channel, countless Ming steam-powered ships emitted billowing black smoke and kept gathering in the vicinity of the ports in northern France.There were even new Ming-made planes that began to appear, whistling over northern Normandy, France.History is always strikingly similar.It's just that the Gallic chickens of this life have to be taught a lesson in advance by the armored convoy
