968 World War I

Besides, after Mustafa returned to Istanbul, the Empress Dowager and Ahmed were very happy when they talked about the situation. No matter what, they finally turned enemies into friends with the Ming Empire and became alliances. From then on, they were no longer afraid of the coalition forces of European countries.

So, after discussion, we began to emphasize the positive significance of the Zhennancheng Agreement across the country. Anyone who has dissatisfaction with this agreement will be treated as a Tongou treason!

It would be impossible not to do this. After all, after the agreement was signed, we would have to deliver the area east of the Black Sea Strait with the Ming Dynasty. In addition, such a big publicity was to give European countries a sense of knowledge and shock them. If we want to attack the Ottoman Empire first, it would be to go directly to war with the Ming Empire. Are you ready for European countries?

On the Austrian side, fleets of various countries were gathering here, and suddenly they received news that the Ottoman Empire had abnormal movements on the border. Then they even heard that the Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and ceded a large area of ​​territory, they also acted as the minion of the Ming Dynasty. Suddenly, European countries, especially those adjacent to the Ottoman Empire, panicked.

The shadow of the Ottoman Empire has always been shrouded on them. Although they saw that the Ottoman Empire was beaten by the Ming army and was unable to fight back, the Ming Dynasty was a more powerful country, which was not enough to prove that they could defeat the Ottoman Empire even if they fought against the Ottoman Empire.

For a moment, the Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and Lithuanian Federation all triggered a chain reaction because of this incident.

While strengthening their combat readiness, they sent people to Paris, and immediately changed their requirements at the meeting and became very tough. The allied forces of the army of European countries must gather in the east to deal with the Ming army on the land.

As for Portugal, as long as the joint fleets of various countries can defeat the Ming fleet in Lisbon, the Ming army and Portuguese army on land will become rootless and will not be able to become any climate at all.

In other words, naval warfare can be fought in Lisbon, but land warfare must be fought in the eastern part of Europe. It is to have another largest crusade and drive the Ming Kingdom back to the Far East. Without this, their eastern European countries would be unable to sleep or eat.

As for food and supplies, they can provide them as much as possible in eastern European countries, and they can also obtain supplementary materials from enemy countries after entering the enemy territory. To this end, they also emphasized how developed the agriculture in the Ming Dynasty occupied areas is now.

At the beginning, the Spaniards were of course unhappy. What they wanted most was to go hand in hand with sea and land, and it would be best if Portugal was solved at once.

However, Spain is difficult to resist Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, and even later, even Sweden demanded an expedition in the east, which caused a major change in the situation of the Paris Conference. After the final discussion, Spain was very regretful.

However, what made Spain a little relieved was that the scouts had returned that there were less than 300 warships in the Ming fleet in Lisbon. Most of the warships went to the Mediterranean and went to meet with the Ming army in the Ottoman side.

In this way, European countries began to mobilize again. Fleets of various countries began to assemble on France. The army all gathered in Vienna and Poland.

According to the latest discussion results of the Paris Conference, European countries will assemble two large armies to attack the Ottomans, enter Persia, and then capture the Mughals, completing the strategic purpose of expelling and eliminating the Ming army in the South Road.

Another place, that is, the coalition forces gathered in Poland, were to destroy Tsarist Russia and advance eastward, attack the Volga River Basin, and capture and eliminate the Ming army in the Samara Fort area.

Depending on which of these two armies can go north or south to support the other army, and finally complete the meeting. Then, based on the results of the battle, we will evaluate whether we will take this opportunity to expedition to the Far East and capture the most prosperous places in the east.

On the sea, after the combined fleets of various countries captured Lisbon, the fleet entered the Mediterranean again and joined forces gathered in Austria to destroy the Ming fleet in the Mediterranean. Then they returned to the Americas and wiped out the Ming army and the Portuguese in the Americas.

The content of the results of this Paris Conference is quite huge and has never been seen in Europe. It is necessary to mobilize Europe's greatest war potential. It can be said that this is the largest showdown between the East and the West.

To this end, European countries not only demonized the Ming country at the aristocratic level, but also demonized the Ming army among the poor. For European countries, religious factors are the best excuses. European countries fought each other for thirty years due to religious reasons, and almost one-third of the total European population died.

This massive propaganda, which collectively smeared the Ming Dynasty, was naturally the most effective. For a moment, the Ming army became a demon king in Europe that could stop children from crying. Compared with the previous Mongol Empire's western expedition, they felt even more terrible.

Such propaganda, as well as the news of collecting troops and coordinating the forces and supplies of various countries, cannot be concealed. News about various countries is constantly delivered to the desks of the monarchs of the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty like snowflakes, and then it is spread to Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng. When they were preparing for the war in an emergency, they also urged Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou to ask for help from the local area and send additional reinforcements.

On this plane, the first real world war began to brew on the earth.

Emperor Chongzhen used the eavesdropping system, although it was thousands of miles away, but he knew the latest situation at any time. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty had almost prepared. If you wait, the power of the years will become greater and greater.

Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting, who came to ask for battle after hearing the news, were already seventy-eighty. In terms of military generals, those who were back then could no longer fight the war. After all, military generals are not as good as civil officials, so they have to fight.

There are even military generals who are too old to die. For example, Qin Liangyu, who was originally 75 years old in history, had fewer worries in this plane. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty became stronger day by day, the lives of the people were getting better and better every year, and with many more happy things, she lived ten years more and died at the age of 85.

If you drag on it, there might be more old ministers who could not resist the years and died. Since that is the case, then fight as soon as possible!

It was based on this idea that Emperor Chongzhen once again announced the imperial commander's personal expedition. Among the civil servants and generals who accompanied him this time, including Sun Chuanting, the military generals include He Renlong, Hu Dawei, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Ma Xianglin and others, plus Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Zhilong and others who were already in the west, they really gathered the original generation.

This time, from the emperor to the generals, all middle-aged and elderly people with half-white hair and beard, even all-white hair were worried by it. The young generation of ministers submitted memorials and requested to send them to the war.

The same is true among the people. The emperor is older and the generals can no longer rush to the battlefield. If such an army goes to war, what will the young people think?

In response, Emperor Chongzhen made a clear decree to the world, saying that this world was achieved through the efforts of him and many civil servants and generals. Then the last enemy of this era will end with me and the older generation of civil servants and military futures. From then on, the earth will be the earth of the Ming Dynasty, and the earth will enter a new era. The goal of your descendants is to go further on the basis of his creation, develop science and technology, set the goal to the sea of ​​stars, and let human civilization enter the cosmic era.

Although this is not written in the will, the meaning is that.

In the view of Emperor Chongzhen, European countries could not be rivals of the Ming Dynasty if they united, and it would be enough to bring these old ministers. This time, the imperial expedition was more of a ritual, and it was a perfect ending for an era.

Feeling the emperor's determination, thinking about the chaos and doomsday situation of the Ming Dynasty decades ago, and thinking about the current life. All the people of the Ming Dynasty have the highest respect to the emperor and these veterans and generals.

They could not change the emperor's decision, so they submitted their memorials to express their determination and would not disappoint the emperor's expectations!

In late March of the 37th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen and civil and military ministers led 30,000 troops to the army of the Western Expedition.

All the people stopped what they were doing at this moment and quietly sent the older generation to the last expedition. The people along the train spontaneously rushed to the side of the track to see them off, expressing their highest respect to the older generation: I have devoted my life to future generations, thank you for your hard work!

Well, that's what it means.

But they were very sorry that they could only see the soldiers going to the war on the train. The emperor and the old ministers and veterans did not show up. It was obvious that they were old and would be tired when they went on a long journey. They were probably resting!

Actually, they are thinking it’s a bad idea!

In the luxury carriage, Emperor Chongzhen invented the Three Kingdoms Killing, and his old ministers and veterans had a lot of fun!

For others, it would be very tiring to be so far away from the emperor! However, for Emperor Chongzhen, it was actually just a long-distance trip. The decisive battle with the coalition forces of European countries was actually just a crush of technology. It was not difficult to win!

………………………………………

In Europe, the infantry and army of all countries are still gathering. When at least 200,000 troops have been assembled, the assembly of the fleet has been completed. The fleets of various countries docked in French ports are densely packed, like forests on the sea. The flags on the warships are varied, and it can be seen from this that it is definitely not just the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The number of warships reached more than 1,000. If all 500 ships in the Mediterranean region were added, the scale of warships reached more than 1,500 ships in Europe. However, there were only more than 300 warships in the Ming Dynasty in Lisbon!
