Chapter 860
"Everything starts from the battle two months ago. The Holy Roman Emperor and the Russian Czar were on one side, and the French Emperor Napoleon was on the other.
We started the battle at Austerlitz. After a day's battle, we lost more than 30,000 people. My arm was also hit by a bullet. Fortunately, it was dark. Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor and I would have to become prisoners.
, that would be too ugly.
After returning from the war, I was dismissed." Kutuzov took a sip of Wuliangye helplessly, as if what he had swallowed was not fine wine, but endless suffering.
Dorgon was like a blow to the head. Kutuzov, who he planned to be his backer, actually... lost power.
"But don't worry. Dorgon, my friend. What you brought is very useful. Even His Majesty the Tsar must fully support it. To be honest, the French army's victory in the Battle of Austerlitz was completely
It was the weapons given to them by the support of the Ming Dynasty.
Sharp mortars are simply a nightmare for infantry. There are also new rifles that surpass our rifles in terms of rate of fire and accuracy.
The most terrible thing is that they have hundreds of artillery pieces. When they occupied Platzen Heights, they quickly mobilized those artillery pieces to bombard our troops below the mountain, causing heavy casualties." Kutuzov closed his eyes and said,
It is painful to recall the damage caused by Ming weapons to the Russian army in that battle.
Dorgon was also speechless. The weapons produced by the Ming Dynasty are indeed the best weapons in the world. There is no one claim.
What Dorgon didn't know was that all the weapons in Napoleon's hands were actually produced in India. They were all seized by Li Xiao from the battlefield, and even the ammunition was collected from the arsenal in Bombay.
Ship after ship of weapons and ammunition were continuously transported to Marseille, France through the Suez Canal. Then, they were continuously sent to the front line by airship troops rented from the Ming Dynasty.
Although airships are expensive to transport things, they are faster and more efficient. In order to win the Battle of the Three Emperors, Napoleon also risked the bankruptcy of the French treasury.
Otherwise, when the Prussian army is ready to join the battlefield, the outcome of this battle will still be uncertain.
The war failed, and Vienna was almost ransacked. Austria was also forced to bear a large sum of war reparations. There was no way, Napoleon's treasury was empty for rats to run away from.
He needed a windfall to fill his depleted treasury.
It was also a defeat in the war, but Russia did not suffer a big blow. The reason is that Russia is too far away from the center of Europe.
If Napoleon wanted to attack Russia, he had to face a long logistical supply line. With France's current capabilities, it does not have the ability to conduct an expedition to Russia.
Tsar Alexander signed a peace agreement with France in exchange for a symbolic compensation of 100,000 francs and withdrawal from the anti-French alliance.
In addition, a secret additional condition of the French was to depose Kutuzov and not allow him to lead troops in war again. Because of his cunning, Napoleon almost lost the battle.
One hundred thousand francs is not much for Russia. What really made Tsar Alexander sad was the Russian soldiers who died on the battlefield. Many of them were Praetorian Guards, and these were the most loyal soldiers to the Tsar.
Now they are all lying on the cold ground in Austerlitz, and there is not even a body collector.
Because of the secret agreement with the French, Kutuzov was ordered to be dismissed. However, although Alexander was arrogant, he was not stupid. He knew that the more the enemy feared the general, the more likely he would be the one who could win the war.
Although Kutuzov was dismissed, the Tsar also secretly appointed him as the director of the Royal Military Academy to train more loyal officers for the Russian Empire.
Dorgon's arrival made Kutuzov's nose bubble with joy.
He has been to India, and of course he knows how far India's military industry has reached. If there is a place in the world that can rival the Ming Dynasty, it must be Bombay.
It was a city lined with factories, with millions of residents. The weapons produced in those arsenals once made Kutuzov jealous.
It was also thanks to Dorgon's relationship that he was able to get some. It was with these weapons and equipment that he and the Tsar were able to break out of Napoleon's encirclement without becoming prisoners.
It's fine now. If you want to sleep, just hand me a pillow.
Dorgon traveled thousands of miles to Moscow, and he brought such important drawings with him. In the Battle of the Three Emperors, Murat's First French Cavalry Corps caused great damage to the Russian army. If there is such a thing as a heavy machine gun, those
The French cavalry charging and killing will definitely die in a very ugly way.
In short, Dorgon and the drawings he brought are very important and need to be kept. They must be kept.
"My friend, Dorgon. Don't worry about what you just said. You will get everything you want in Russia. You are tired from the journey today and need a good rest. In a few days, I will take you to see the Tsar.
Your Majesty, I believe that His Majesty the Tsar will also become friends with you."
Kutuzov's words made Dorgon feel at ease. Kutuzov is not the kind of person who talks big. Once he has said it, he will definitely sit down.
"Dukic, take Mr. Dorgon down to rest. Give him the best hospitality and let the girls show their Russian enthusiasm." Kutuzov called his adjutant and gave a loud order.
"Yes! General." The adjutant, Colonel Djukic, stood at attention and saluted, and then made a gesture of invitation to Dorgon.
"Thank you, General." Dorgon bowed and saluted.
"Don't say that about Dorgon, our friend. Russians are always very enthusiastic towards their friends. I hope you can find a girl you like!"
Dorgon and Zirhalan walked out of Kutuzov's office and were taken into the carriage waiting for the door by Dukic. On the way, Dorgon gave Dukic a box cannon and two boxes of ammunition.
Djukic immediately became friends with Dorgon and took Dorgon and Jilhalang to a very luxuriously decorated hotel.
Upon entering the hotel, a blond Slavic beauty immediately greeted him and spoke enthusiastically to Djukic.
Dukic smiled and hugged the blonde beauty's waist, kissed her snow-white cheek, and then introduced Dorgon and Jilharang to the beauty.
"Seniya, this is the most distinguished guest of the General. You need to take good care of them. If they are not satisfied, not only will you not receive the reward, but you will also be punished by the General."
"Haha! Can these two Orientals do it? These girls of mine are all very powerful."
"Hahaha! You can let the girls try it."
Dorgon and Jierhalang looked at their wanton laughter and guessed that they were talking about their brothers, but they couldn't understand what they were saying.
While Dorgon and Zirhalang were having fun in the hotel, Li Xiao was meeting with the Romanian leader Kukoc who believed in the Orthodox Church!
"Your Excellency, the great Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, Kukoc and all Romanians are willing to become your subjects and be loyal to you forever." When Kukoc saw Li Xiao, he immediately knelt down on one knee with his hand on his chest.
"Please get up, leader Kukoc." Li Xiao casually helped Kukoc up and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
A beautiful slave girl served fragrant tea, but Kukoc obviously couldn't get used to it. He just took a sip and put down the cup with a frown.
"You Romanians have been bullied miserably by the Ottoman Empire in recent years. I have heard all about it." Li Xiao's tone was kind, and he did not have the power of a big figure in the country. This made Kukoc have a lot of affection for Li Xiao.
After the Ming Dynasty's military power, no one would doubt the destructive capabilities of this country's army.
In just two short months, a huge Ottoman Empire disappeared. Tribes in various places were fighting for power, and the entire Ottoman Empire became a war almost overnight.
The Armenians, in particular, have a deep hatred for the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. These days, the Armenians are like fire, burning on the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Everywhere they pass, they will leave behind horrifying legends of killing.
The reason why it is called a legend is because people in many places were killed.
Of course, after the brutal massacre by the Ottoman Empire, there are very few Armenians left, and the waves they have made are very limited.
The Romanians are different. As a powerful tribe, they have more than 50,000 troops. Currently, they are second only to the Kurds in the Ottoman Empire.
"Thank you, Generalissimo, for defeating the cruel Turks and allowing the Romanians to break free from their shackles. Every Romanian is grateful to you and for everything you have done for us. We will do our best to serve you!" Cuco!
Qi knelt down again with great gratitude.
"Haha! Ming Dynasty likes people like you very much. Ming Dynasty will provide you with a batch of arms. Including thirty cannons, fifty mortars, and two thousand rifles. There will also be ammunition for these weapons.
Given to you. As long as you are armed, no one will be able to enslave you in the future."
"Really!" Kukoc couldn't believe his ears. He was afraid that the speaker had mistranslated.
The Ming Dynasty actually took the initiative to give itself weapons, God! Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty's weapons are sharp. If you can possess the Ming Dynasty's weapons, the Romanians will definitely dominate the entire Balkans in the future.
"Thank you so much, Marshal of the Ming Dynasty. Romanians will never forget your kindness."
"For so many years, the Romanians have been oppressed by the Turks. How could the bad guys not be punished? I accepted the surrender of the Turks. Our Ming Dynasty is a country that values fidelity.
Now that we have promised Suleiman, we will never interfere in the affairs of the Ottoman Empire again. We will not prevent anyone from seeking revenge, nor will we prevent anyone from seeking justice that belongs to them."
Kukoc was very shrewd. He read another meaning from Li Xiao's words. That is, the Romanians sought justice from the Turks, and the Ming Dynasty would not stand in the way.
The Turks have done countless evil things to Romanians and committed countless crimes over the years, and now they have to settle the score later. And with the assistance of Ming weapons, Kukoc suddenly became excited. National hatred has always been to consolidate rule.
effective magic weapon.
As long as he defeats the Turks and even captures Constantinople, then Kukoc will not only receive enthusiastic support, but also be remembered by the Romanians forever.
Kukoc bit his finger and wiped the blood on his forehead: "Thank you, Generalissimo. From now on, as long as it is your request, Romanians will work hard to complete it, even if there is only one person left."
"Very good, Kukoc. The weapons will be handed over to you tomorrow, and Ming Dynasty will begin to withdraw its troops in half a month. May your God bless you!"
"Thank you, Generalissimo. Romanians will always remember the oath taken today. The oath made with blood will definitely be fulfilled with blood."
Li Xiao smiled!
Once the Orthodox Church takes the lead in killing Suleiman, those guys who believe in the true God will think of sending troops to retake Constantinople. In other words, after they leave, the Ottoman Empire will be full of wars and become a real killing place.
.
With racial hatred and religious hatred, this land will definitely be filled with blood.
Stalin once said that debts owed by blood can only be repaid with blood. When two nations engage in blood feud, their descendants will hate each other for generations. And, as long as there is a chance, they will also
The feud continues from generation to generation.
Outside the city of Constantinople, Ai Husheng was watching his men count the loot from ship to ship.
Li Xiao extorted King Suleiman forty thousand kilograms of gold, which was a terrifying astronomical figure. Suleiman returned to Constantinople and began to search for all the gold in the city.
Even the gold foil on the Golden Summit Temple was shoveled down and melted. Three feet of the Dopkapi Palace was dug up, and all the gold jewelry on the concubines were removed and smelted.
Ai Husheng admires Li Xiao's robbery methods very much. The most effective robbery method in the world is to let them loot themselves. He believes that under tremendous pressure, Suleiman II will steal the last gram of gold from Constantinople.
Search them out and give them to Ming Dynasty.
This was far from enough to meet the number that Li Xiaoxiong was asking for. With no choice, Ai Husheng went to Constantinople and moved everything he needed.
What's even more immoral is that Ai Husheng actually came up with the idea of using women to cover the debt. He also thoughtfully marked out corresponding prices for the Sultan's queen, princess, princess, and the wives and daughters of various officials.
Almost all valuable things in Constantinople were taken away. Almost all women between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five were also packed away.
The whole of Constantinople was crying. Suleiman II helplessly watched his wife, daughter and concubines being taken away. Anger and humiliation spread from the soles of his feet to his forehead, but he could not help it.
The defeated weak will suffer endless humiliation from the victor.
