The first thousand three hundred and thirty-eight chapters of the imperial expedition road (three)
The once green grassland of Qierjis hundreds of miles in a radius was covered with tents like black clouds, and horses as dense as black ants were concentrated in several areas outside the camp to happily eat the tender green grass. In the middle of the camp is the tall imperial tent of the imperial emperor Zhang Ping'an, in which the emperor Zhang Ping'an was happily cursing at a group of small staff. For the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Ping'an was the only reason for his existence in this world. Zhang Ping'an had long been used to the life of war for many years. Only when he arrived at a battlefield that was bloody, could Zhang Ping'an's ambition return to his youth. On the battlefield, defeating his opponents again and again and trampling the enemy's corpse under his feet, Zhang Ping'an could feel the inexplicable pleasure. This kind of pleasure in his heart is not understandable by cowards, but only veterans who survived the battlefield but were not crushed can understand it.
It is obvious that the emperor Zhang Ping'an, who regarded himself as an old fox in the officialdom, had long been tired of the so-called political struggle between bureaucrats. Because no one of these officials had the courage to fight directly with him, and Zhang Ping'an was just an arbiter of party struggles in the court. He had long been bored with this kind of internal friction all day long. In particular, Emperor Zhang Ping'an sent an imperial envoy to deposed Emperor Zhang Shangde of the South China Empire under the deterrence of hundreds of warships of the navy. As a result, Zhang Shangde, who was unwilling to be humiliated, ended his life with suicide. The death of his son Zhang Shangde's death greatly hit Emperor Zhang Ping'an. Although Zhang Ping'an did not like Zhang Shangde in his heart, he was unwilling to send black people to the whites. The suicide of his son Zhang Shangde prompted Emperor Zhang Ping'an to stay away from the court, and he also wanted to divert his bad mood through war. Not long after Emperor Zhang Ping'an left the imperial capital Chang'an, his ambition to conquer foreign races cheered him up again.
Without the troubles and troubles, Emperor Zhang Ping'an's attention was successfully transferred to the battlefield against the enemy. After several months of trekking, Emperor Zhang Ping'an came to the junction of Tiliangguti and Qierjisi provinces in the western border of the empire. Years of experience in the war made Emperor Zhang Ping'an pay great attention to battlefield intelligence. If there was no special reason, he never fought unprepared wars. Zhang Ping'an often made strategic arrangements for future wars a few years ago, and he sent envoys to serve as envoys.
The Holy See was to provoke hatred between the countries of the Thais and the Ottoman Empire. The Chinese ancestors passed down the strategy of getting along with each other from far away and attacking each other, and Zhang Ping'an was extremely familiar with it. In the past century, the hatred between the Ottoman Empire invaded Thailand and the West could not be resolved. For the Holy See, the Ottoman invasion of Greece had threatened the safety of the Holy See. Although the Chinese Empire was very powerful, it was still a foreign pagan. At least the Buddhism believed in by the Chinese Empire was far less aggressive than the Green Church believed in by the Ottoman Empire.
Sure enough, the mission sent by the Emperor of the Chinese Empire to the Holy See was soon received by the Holy See. Pope Alexander VII sent an envoy to the Chinese Empire to meet the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. Cardinal Kanders, sent by the Holy See, led a mission of nearly 100 people to the Chinese Empire. The mission sent by the Holy See was very high in this time. Bishop Kanders was the youngest cardinal in the Holy See. He came to the Chinese Empire to negotiate Europe.
In addition to the major event of attacking the Ottoman Empire, the clergy and Spaniards captured in Manila were also rescued. The route of the Holy See delegation was to cross the Mediterranean to Alexandria, and took a 6-way route in Suez, controlled by the Chinese Maritime Merchant Alliance, and then arrived at Guangzhou Prefecture in the south of the Chinese Empire by sea. When the Holy See delegation arrived in the South China Sea, it happened that the Chinese Empire sent naval warships to suppress the South China Sea to convey the emperor's deposed the emperor of the South China Sea.
Thousands of sailboats gathered in the South China Sea, covering the sky and the black sails like the sun scared Cardinal Condes. Mao Yongkun, the head of the Chinese Empire's Lifan Division, who accompanied the Holy See's mission, told Kanders that from the flags on the warship, it can be seen that this was only the Central Fleet of the Chinese Navy and the Northern Fleet. Mao Yongkun explained to Kanders that the number of warships and armed cargo ships here was only 30% of the Chinese Navy's, and the empire had more warships and auxiliary armed cargo ships. Mao Yongkun's words were false, and he wanted to use this to show the strong strength of the Chinese Empire. Entering the mainland of the Chinese Empire, Bishop Condes' eyes seemed not enough. The farmers working in the farmlands on both sides of the spacious official road all smiled confidently. The neat and clean city streets and women wearing bright clothes all showed the prosperity of the Chinese Empire.
At this time, the Vatican where the Holy See is located was a rural town full of livestock manure. No wonder Europeans who had ever had the Chinese Empire all said that milk and honey flowed in the land here. The Kanders mission arrived in Nanjing, visited the palace of the previous dynasty, and then took a boat to Beijing by boat. After seeing the magnificent Forbidden City, Bishop Condes kept sighing at the majesty of the Imperial Palace of the Chinese Empire. After the Holy See's mission arrived at Chang'an City of the Chinese Empire, they were immediately attracted by the prosperity in front of them. The only thing that the Holy See's mission felt was that it was clearly the richest emperor of the empire, and the scale of the palace he built was far less than that of the mission in Nanjing and Beijing. Not to mention the grandeur, they even thought that the imperial palace of the imperial emperor Zhang Ping'an was a bit shabby.
The Holy See mission accompanied the Holy See mission to visit Lu Dingshi, Minister of Rites of the Empire, introduced to him that although Emperor Zhang Ping'an was rich in the world, he used his personal wealth to adopt orphans. Therefore, the palace could not be built in a gorgeous way, but each of the ten golden wolf camps adopted by the empire were as big as a city. This made the Holy See mission realize that the emperor of the Chinese Empire was not as cruel as the legend, and he at least had a very kind side. After the Holy See mission met with the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Ping'an, he went to the Chinese Empire with the side of the Chinese Empire.
Many consensuses were reached in the face of the Chinese Empire. The Holy See not only got all the captured clergymen in the Battle of Manila from the Chinese Empire, but also reached an agreement with the Chinese Empire's Lifansi to release the captured Spanish in Manila. As Emperor Zhang Ping'an expected, the Holy See was very hostile to the Ottoman Empire, and they really wanted to completely eliminate the Ottoman devil. The Holy See also recognized that Emperor Zhang Ping'an's purpose of attacking the Ottoman Empire was not only revenge, but also to open up the business path of the Chinese Empire to Europe.
In rumors about the Chinese Emperor Zhang Ping'an, this emperor's hobby of earning gold and doing business, and opening up the European market was another reasonable reason for the Chinese Empire to attack the Ottoman Empire. The Chinese Emperor personally told the Holy See the importance of commodity circulation to the Holy See mission, and also talked about the benefits of maintaining the stability of the commodity trading market. Zhang Ping'an tirelessly explained the importance of stabilizing the market to Bishop Kanders, which was to show an attitude to the Holy See. That is, Europe
The continental market is the most important circulation area for the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire did not want wars in Europe to affect the sale of goods. This is the Emperor Zhang Ping'an of the Chinese Empire who made it clear to the Holy See that he had no ambitions for European territory. The main reason was that he was afraid that the Chinese Empire's goods would not be sold after the war. Emperor Zhang Ping'an's sincerity in declaring and releasing prisoners of war impressed everyone in the Holy See's mission, and they all expressed that they would cooperate with the Chinese Empire to fight the Ottoman Empire.
The members of the Holy See came from the nobles of European countries. Most of them were officials sent by kings to test the reality of the Chinese Empire. These people had already chosen their kings and would naturally follow the storm. The Chinese Emperor Zhang Ping'an knew very well that this battle to attack the Ottoman Empire was not easy. First, they transported food to the front line a long journey. Almost every stone of food was consumed by the front line soldiers, the loss of four stones during long-distance transportation was greater than four stones. Moreover, the Chinese military ammunition and its
His baggage and military capital consumption was not a small amount. The transportation of materials alone accounted for 70% of the entire combat money. Therefore, the Chinese Empire had to unite with the countries of Thailand outside the battlefield, so that the Ottoman Empire was attacked on both sides and had no time to concentrate on fighting against the Chinese army. Looking back at the place where the Ponu Army formed an army, Ponu City was besieged by two million troops from the Mongolian Lin Dankhan and the Jiannu Juzhen. At that time, Zhang Ping'an was ready to kill himself at any time, and he had the deepest understanding of the joys and sorrows.
Because of this, when Emperor Zhang Ping'an was preparing for war, he joined forces with external forces, and on the other hand, he ordered the General Staff to pay more attention to details when formulating the battle strategy. This is also the reason why Emperor Zhang Ping'an often hit the General Staff after reaching the Gail Ghiss gathering camp. Zhang Ping'an, who is familiar with the map of the Ottoman Empire, had long realized that the key to this battle was to seize two straits in order to complete a fatal blow to the Ottoman Empire. There was a major flaw in the strategy of the Chinese military's combat staff planning this battle. They took it for granted that the narrowest part of the Dardanelles was only one and a half miles away. The Chinese military engineer battalion was good at building pontoon bridges and could build pontoon bridges after rushing to 6. The General Staff's same plan also appeared in the direction of the Bosphorus Strait, where there were two locations less than two miles wide, and the General Staff believed that it could also build pontoon bridges here.
As soon as the General Staff was handed over to the hands of Emperor Zhang Ping'an, he was immediately thrown to the ground by Zhang Ping'an. Emperor Zhang Ping'an never cares about major issues like fighting. He believed that the General Staff and his team were too sloppy to plan their strategies. The General Staff, including Chief of Staff Gu Xin, all ignored the geographical disadvantages of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Because these two straits connect the Black Sea, the Marmara Sea and the Aegean Sea, the three seas will inevitably be connected, and it is not easy to drive a ship in such a sea condition. How can the General Staff successfully build a floating bridge? Based on this point alone, the General Staff's operating strategy is to take risks with the lives of the Chinese soldiers. What's more, the Chinese Empire's navy cannot cooperate with the main force to fight the 6th.
This is because the Chinese naval warships cannot sail tens of thousands of miles in a short time, and cooperate with the six routes from the Aegean Sea to fight. In this battle, Zhang Ping'an was reluctant to risk the naval fleet. If the naval warships and armed cargo ships could reach the Mediterranean in a crisis-ridden sea route, no one in the Chinese army was fully sure of. In particular, the Chinese Empire determined to use troops to the maritime power Britain. Emperor Zhang Ping'an was most afraid of the British naval in the back at this time. The Chinese Empire's naval naval was not afraid of the British fleet in a large-scale frontal naval battle, but the Chinese Empire's naval naval was also worried about the harassment of a large number of British pirate ships on the single merchant ships. Therefore, the strategy of Emperor Zhang Ping'an to attack the Central Navy was to focus on attacking the Arabian coast of the Persian Empire.
