954 Combining Vertical and Horizontal

Philip IV was very surprised and could not imagine the size of the Ming fleet. At the same time, he nodded repeatedly, feeling that Cromwell's method was the only way at present. In this way, of course, he had to contact other European countries and unite to deal with the possible attacks of the Ming country.

So he summoned his boatman leader to ask about the situation, but he did not get a useful answer. In addition to disappointment, he could only send envoys like the United Kingdom to lobby countries with good relations with Spain. He tried his best to unite other European countries and face powerful enemies together.

But other countries currently do not have much contact with Ming State, so it is not easy to persuade them to unite to deal with Ming State.

Cromwell has also considered this situation.

That's right, Robert relayed Cromwell's words to Philip IV, just two words: "Yellow Peril!"

Although it was not stated clearly, Philip IV suddenly understood the meaning of these two words. Even after so many years, he could remember that the invasion of the Easterners had a great impact on Europe.

The first yellow peril was in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty defeated the Northern Huns and forced some of the Northern Huns to move westward. The Southern Huns surrendered and surrendered. The Western Huns, the Huns who moved westward, were the Huns who came from the East in the eyes of Europeans. They continued to conquer the Germans and the Eastern Roman Empire, forcing the Germans to move southward. In the end, the Germans who moved south destroyed the Western Roman Empire.

The second yellow peril was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

At that time, the Turks were divided into the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks. The two were successively destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and some Western Turkic tribes moved westward. Among them, the Turks who moved to West Asia conquered the Eastern Roman Empire and triggered the Crusades. In the end, the Ottoman Empire established by the Turks destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire.

The third yellow peril is the most famous one.

The Mongol Empire launched three western expeditions. During these three western expeditions, according to statistics, more than 40 countries were destroyed, with nearly 200 million deaths (some say more than 100 million deaths), and more than 700 ethnic groups were conquered along the way.

Among them, the most unforgettable thing for Europeans is the Black Death. According to legend, the Mongolian army attacked the Black Sea port city of Kafa in 1347 and then spread to Europe from Asian and European merchants. First, it spread from Italy to Western Europe, then from Northern Europe, the Baltic region to Russia, etc. At that time, more than one-third of the population died in Europe.

Even if even the most recent one has passed, hundreds of years have passed, but as a European ruler, it is hard to forget.

Therefore, after hearing this, Philip IV immediately slapped his hands and said happily: "Okay, this idea is good. Just use this point to say it. I believe that other countries will definitely not stand by and watch!"

After saying that, he was very excited again and walked back and forth, lowering his head, and it could be seen that he was still thinking.

Sure enough, after a while, he raised his head again, stared at Robert and said, "When the Ming army attacked, what was the horrifying thing? For example, massacre the city, or cruelly treating the countries that were destroyed by them? I felt that it would be more convincing to sort out such a thing!"

"..." Robert was a little stupid when he heard this, and for a moment, he couldn't speak.

When Philip IV saw it, he was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Is it because the Ming army is like the Tatar army, so many things are so difficult to write about, that you don't know where to start?"

"..." Robert continued to be stunned when he heard this.

When Philip IV saw him, he quickly strode to him and said with a look of expectation: "Tell me, I am patient, and I will tell you."

When he said this, he shouted to the guards beside him: "Hurry up, prepare the transcript."

Hearing this, Robert finally came to his senses and said bitterly: "If I said, I have never heard of the Ming army massacre, do you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Philip IV suddenly showed an incredible expression and said with a little exaggerated expression: "How is it possible? The Ming army fought from the Far East to the Ottomans. If they didn't massacre, they might be able to fight so quickly?"

"There are indeed murders, but what I know is that the Ming army killed the enemy when fighting on the battlefield." Robert shook his head and replied, "The countries that were destroyed are basically just slaughtering their own people. If you really want to speak, there may be..."

Philip IV looked disbelief. Even if he suppressed the Portuguese rebellion, he didn't know how many Portuguese people he killed, especially Lisbon. He even killed countless. At this time, he finally heard Robert say yes, and looked as expected, urged repeatedly: "Is that true? Tell me!"

"It turns out that every time the army captured a place, it would confiscate the homes of the local powerful and wealthy people and divide half of the property to the poor." Robert replied, "and also handed over the powerful and wealthy people to the poor for trial. It is basically a word of death. Is this considered a massacre?"

Hearing this, Philip IV was stunned. He couldn't understand why the Ming army had such an operation?

"So, every time the Ming army attacked a place, it was supported by the local poor, so they could attack Europe so quickly!" Robert concluded bitterly.

After hearing this, Philip IV became silent and did not speak immediately.

In his mind, he passed through what Robert said, and suddenly he felt that Ming Jun was really cunning, and he was completely making a fortune!

If you really don’t react, according to the Ming army’s fighting style, maybe in many years, the whole of Europe will crawl at the feet of the Ming Kingdom!

Thinking of this, Philip IV said with a fierce look on his face, "The Eastern people are all perverts. How can they distribute the snatched property to the enemy's poor? In their eyes, are the poor more likely to cooperate! What exactly do they want to do?"

According to Robert, they were all the targets of the Ming army to massacre, so how could he not hate it?

After saying that, he didn't wait for Robert to agree and said flatly: "It doesn't matter. As long as this matter is true, I don't believe that other countries will not resist. Don't worry, I immediately sent envoys to European countries. I believe that this time, we European countries will definitely unite unprecedentedly."

Robert believed this. After all, the people who ruled over each country were local powerful and wealthy people. The Ming army regarded them as the target of the massacre. Even if they were killed by the poor in the end, they would be counted as the Ming army. In this way, no matter which country's king and powerful people were, they would choose to resist the Ming army for their own lives!

He was thinking, and Philip IV followed and said, "As for external propaganda, don't say that. Even if the Ming army is more fierce than the Tatars, we Europeans will not treat us at all. If we do not resist the Ming army, the whole of Europe will be destroyed by the Ming army, and the Europeans will be extinct!"

This is a necessary means to demonize the Ming army. Otherwise, if the people of European countries really know the specific situation of the Ming army, they may not be able to open the door to welcome the Ming army!

Thinking of this, Robert immediately nodded and agreed. Then after discussing the details, the two of them unified the subject.

The UK says this, and Spain says this too. As long as there are too many people, others will have to believe it if they don’t.

Subsequently, Philip IV began to send envoys to all European countries, and with the envoys sent by Cromwell before, the focus of European countries began to focus on the Ming army coming from the Far East.

However, no matter how Philip IV and others arranged it, they tried their best to persuade other countries. At the beginning, most countries except the Netherlands were on the sideliness.

In the eyes of most countries, Europe today is not the Middle Ages, and it will be bullied by the Easterners like in ancient times. Otherwise, how could the colonization of various countries before would be so smooth?

However, they also knew the fact that the Ming army was already powerful. After all, Tsarist Russia was defeated by the Ming army, Persia was destroyed by the Ming army, and now even the Ottoman Empire was attacked by the Ming army, which was all from facts.

However, they are still far from the Ming army and have never had contact with the Ming army before. Why are you anxious? Even if you really want to fight with the Ming army in the future, you are not anxious first, so you can go and explore the way first!

If both sides can suffer losses, that is the best thing. Even if it doesn't work, it will definitely weaken the strength of the Ming army. If they turn around, they will be much easier.

As for the military's actions that Spain and Britain have shown that killing powerful and wealthy people from all countries, even if there is, it is impossible to kill them immediately. Let's take a look!

The occurrence of these things is completely inferior to the predictions of Philip IV and others. It can be said that it is also the most intuitive embodiment of human nature. Since it is divided into various countries, it is naturally selfish.

Whether it is the Ottomans or Persia, they are enemies of European countries. They were attacked or destroyed by the Ming army. For European countries, that is actually a welcome thing.

As for Tsarist Russia, European countries have never thought Tsarist Russia was a European country. Speaking of which, it was still descendants of the Tatars. When the Ming army attacked them, it was just a dog biting a dog!

After receiving reactions from European countries, Philip IV and Cromwell were both a little disappointed and became even more anxious. While starting to prepare for war, they also continued to intensify lobbying European countries.

For them, the more countries unite, they can afford to defeat the Ming army at less cost.

As time passed, news about the Ming army was more known to European countries. With the continuous lobbying of Britain, Spain and the Netherlands, some countries finally began to consider their suggestions.

Because they heard that a large tract of the Ottoman Empire was captured by the Ming army. If this continues, the powerful Ottoman Empire would be destroyed by the Ming army. In this way, the Ming army's troops would be immediately inserted into front of them.
