The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 343

The spring water on the banks of the Seine was not so pure. After passing through a military camp, the river became turbid, filled with feces and urine.

This is the case throughout the West. On the streets and alleys, feces are piled up, and the air is also rich in the smell of feces.

Civilization has never had anything to do with the West.

It wasn't until after the industrial revolution that they wore suits and pretended to be civilized.

In the era without environmental protection, no one cared whether a river was clean or not. Even in modern times, these people only pay lip service to environmental protection.

The size of the barracks is very large, with nearly 1 people stationed there.

These 1 people are not simple. There are French, British, people from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and even people from the Kingdom of Spain.

Several parties were still life-and-death opponents before, and it has not been long before they have become solid and reliable allies.

In fact, the years of war in the West were, in the final analysis, just a struggle between a bunch of relatives.

Whether it is the United Kingdom, France, or the Kingdom of Spain, there is an in-law relationship between the royal family and the royal family.

These nobles stood together face to face, and there was not much hatred in fact.

All the weapons that Louis XIV obtained from Zheng Zhilong were equipped with these soldiers.

Over the camp, explosions can still be heard from time to time.

Louis XIV stood by the Seine, looking at the passing river with a calm expression.

Hendrick stood beside him and said: "This Zheng Zhilong is indeed a little weird. If it were me, I would never sell all the weapons in my hand, because I want to ensure my safety!"

"Indeed, this thing, I also find it weird!"

Cromwell also spoke.

"No matter what the situation is like, we can no longer retreat now. The bow and arrow have been wound and there is no way to let go. We can only move forward and eliminate Zheng Zhilong!" Louis XIV said.

"Indeed, we have to eliminate Zheng Zhilong!" Felipe IV also said.

These kings stood by the river, surrounded by their retinue.

A court painter, standing not far away, copied this scene.

This painting will have a very famous name in the future, "The Incompetent Meeting of the Defeated King".

Time passed slowly, and the time Louis XIV gave Descartes also came.

However, Descartes deserves to be Descartes. Although he failed to perfectly copy the Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory rocket or the gas tank shell, he imitated a brand new rocket according to the structure of the Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory rocket.

Its construction is no different from the historic Congreve rocket.

This kind of rocket could not be manufactured until 1805, but now, because of Sun Jie, it has been advanced by more than 100 years and nearly 200 years.

On the testing ground, a bamboo rocket was inserted into the soft ground, and Descartes walked towards the rocket silently holding a torch.

Louis XIV took the people far away, for fear of collapsing himself.

Looking at the bamboo rocket, Louis XIV didn't know much about it.

This rocket looks too different from the Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory rocket. The bamboo body gives people a feeling of weakness.

If it wasn't for Descartes' absolute certainty, Louis XIV would never have linked it with the Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory rocket.

Descartes went behind the rocket and ignited the fuze on it.

Then he turned around and ran, moving like a rabbit.

Louis XIV squinted his eyes and held his breath.

Just after Descartes ran out of a safe distance, there was a "squeak", and an orange-red flame rose from the ground and pierced into the sky.

Louis XIV's face changed instantly, "It's done? It's flying?!"

The rocket flew higher and higher, and finally disappeared from Louis XIV's sight.

He didn't even bother to wait for Descartes to come over, so he ran towards Descartes himself.

"What kind of weapon are you that can fly so high? What's the name of this weapon? How powerful is it? What's the range?!" Louis XIV asked out of breath.

Descartes put the torch in his hand on the ground, and patiently explained: "Your Highness, the rockets of the Orientals are all made of steel. We don't have that ability, so we can only find other methods.

Later I discovered that bamboo can also be used as a projectile, which means that its power and range are closer than those of the Orientals.

It can almost fly around for a distance, and the explosion is not powerful, but it can burn the enemy with fire! "

A farthin is a unit of distance in France, and one farthin is approximately equal to [-] kilometers.

The weapon made by Descartes can fly so far, which is not bad.

If placed in the West at the same time, this range can already be described as advanced.But if it is compared with the rockets of Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory, it is almost meaningless.

Louis XIV also understood the gap, but he was very satisfied with this range.

"Is this weapon easy to manufacture? If it is easy to manufacture, then quickly manufacture it on a large scale!" Louis XIV said.

"Good build!"

Descartes replied.

Louis XIV showed a satisfied smile.

That afternoon, Louis XIV allocated the money.

This event was so important that Louis XIV even asked Richelieu to preside over it himself.

This time, Louis XIV generously handed over the manufacturing method of this weapon to other monarchs.

It cannot be said that Louis XIV was willing, but there were many foreigners among these scholars and craftsmen. Even if he wanted to hide it, he might not be able to hide it.

Not only France, but countries other than the United Kingdom have begun to set up factories for production.

They are like crazy, working overtime, constantly hoarding weapons and ammunition.

With the weapons sold, Zheng Zhilong should go back.

In fact, what Zheng Zhilong originally thought was to go back after finishing the matter in the west, but a telegram from Sun Jie made him dispel this idea.

Niu Ben has arrived at the place Sun Jie said, and at the same time he saw black oil.

But it hasn't been all smooth sailing.

Niu Ben who arrived at the place was soon discovered by the Safavid Empire. At this time, Shah Jahan also sent envoys to the Safavid Empire to provoke him.

The current ruler of the Safavid Empire is Abbas II, who is still a kid, and the government is completely controlled by his prime minister Taki.

This Taqi is a figure like Zhang Juzheng, trying to restore the glory of the Safavid Empire.

This kind of person is very principled, and naturally he cannot tolerate being touched by other people in his own country.

Originally, the loss of Kandahar had already been regarded as a great shame by him, but now a group of orientals came, only a thousand or so, and they walked on their own land swaggeringly.

This made him unbearable, so he tracked down Niu Ben.

Although the Safavid Empire has a large area of ​​no man's land, their appearance is really special, and it didn't take long for them to be discovered.

Taqi conscripted troops and horses to encircle and suppress Niuben.

It's a pity that the weapons in Niu Ben's hands are so powerful that he can't get any favors at all, and Pingping lost a lot of manpower.

So Tucci changed his mind.

From a frontal attack to a full-scale siege.

All supplies were cut off and all villages evacuated.

At the same time, trenches were dug on the periphery and high walls were built.In this way, Niuben's range of activities was gradually compressed.

The weapon in Niu Ben's hands is indeed powerful, but it is like punching cotton. After chasing him, the enemy will run away, and then he will face various traps or obstacles.

If you don't chase, those people will rush out again and start harassing.

Supplies must be bottomed out, and Niu Ben can only lead the soldiers in his hands to find towns.

However, after walking all the way for a long time, I didn't see a place at all.

Even if there is a town, it is already empty.

It's like a cat catching a mouse, unpredictable.

Although it didn't cause much damage, this kind of tactics really tortured the mentality.

Since ancient times, the war of law and order has been difficult to fight, especially in this kind of desert.

In desperation, he could only report to Sun Jie.

It is thousands of miles away from Sun Jie, and Niu Ben's radio is not powerful enough, so there is no way to send the news back.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Not far from here, there is a radio signal transfer station left by Zheng Zhilong when he came.

The transfer station happened to receive the signal from Niuben, so it sent an inquiry.

Niu Ben was ecstatic at the time, explaining his current situation.

This news was also transferred back to the country by the transfer station.

After Sun Jie knew the news, he immediately sent a message to Zheng Zhilong, telling him to come back quickly to meet Niu Ben, and return to China to recuperate at the same time.

At the same time, he ordered the bull to run, telling him to retreat to the sea and be ready to board the ship at all times.

Zheng Zhilong naturally did not dare to resist Sun Jie's order, so he packed his things and prepared to go home.

In the city of London, Zheng Zhilong's soldiers began to evacuate, and the things that could be taken away began to be loaded on the ship.

That is, two or three days of work, and everything is almost packed.

Zheng Zhilong stood on the pier, looked at Charles I standing in front of him, and said, "There are important matters in the country, I will come back in the future!"

Charles I suddenly became anxious, "Your Excellency, you can't leave. If you leave, what can I do, what can I do!"

Zheng Zhilong is his biggest backer, if Zheng Zhilong leaves, then his biggest backer will be gone.

With Cromwell's temperament, how could he spare him?

Besides, even if Cromwell didn't care about him, he wouldn't be able to live if Louis XIV and the others found out that he had once been in a high-level society.

The domestic situation is now all supported by Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong leaves, the situation will be completely abolished.

Left and right are dead, can Charles I be in a hurry?

"What are you afraid of? I will come back. Then, follow me!" Zheng Zhilong patted Charles I on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Charles I hugged his trouser legs directly, crying loudly: "No, your Excellency can't leave me, anyway, you will come back, so take me away with you!
If you don't take me away, then I'm really doomed, really dead. "

Showing loyalty with snot and tears, begging bitterly.

"This is it, get up quickly!" Zheng Zhilong frowned.

Charles I hugged tightly and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, there is no more if you are more, and no less if you are less, take you!" Zheng Zhilong was annoyed by Charles I, so he said angrily.

Charles I was not a threat, so he took it with him.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's agreement, Charles I happily jumped three feet high, jumping up and down to find his family.

Within 10 minutes, Charles I and his family stood in front of Zheng Zhilong.

Co-authored, Charles I, a big family, has long thought about this matter!

The warship cleaves the waves and sails on the sea.

Seagulls fly low, and you can reach out and touch them from the deck.

Charles I took his wife and danced on the deck to express his excitement.

Zheng Zhilong could only laugh about this.

At this time, Louis XIV and the others also knew the news of Zheng Zhilong's departure.

It feels like eating a fly.

It's like a young man, in order to avenge the killing of his father, he kept accumulating strength and endured humiliation. When he finally had the strength to avenge his father, the enemy died.

This feeling is not ordinary torture.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Louis XIV in the Palace of Versailles threw everything in the room to the ground and trampled on it fiercely.

"Why, why is this? You can leave as you say, leave as you say?!" Louis XIV cursed.

Richelieu, who was standing aside, was also very upset.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to think about these things. This matter was proposed by His Highness, and His Highness joined forces. At this time, the enemy suddenly retreated, and there are already some voices in the army that are not conducive to Your Highness." Richelieu said with a sullen face.

"Hmph, these people are just short-sighted maggots, what do they think they are?" Louis XIV scolded through gritted teeth.

The West was originally scattered, but because of Zheng Zhilong, they were united for a short time.

Now that Zheng Zhilong is gone, the alliance is still in jeopardy.

These monarchs cannot guarantee whether others will take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack on themselves.

In order to protect their own interests, they naturally began to suspect each other.

"Don't worry about it, I want to see what they want to do. However, I don't think this Zheng Zhilong will not come back, he will definitely come back." Louis XIV said.

The sovereigns of all countries, who lived in Paris, left quickly.

Cromwell was the first to leave, and he had to rush back to deal with Charles I.

But when he arrived in London, he discovered that Charles I had long since disappeared.

As for the soldiers he left behind, they also went directly to their respective homes and ran home.

Cromwell also had the feeling of punching cotton at this time.

Is it possible that we have to find out and kill those soldiers one by one?
What's the use of killing some miscellaneous soldiers?As long as Charles I survived, he was still a scourge.

He had no choice but to kill a few old nobles who had no eyesight in the end to vent his anger.

……

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the setting sun is about to fall to the horizon.

The sea breeze mixed with water vapor brought a lot of chill.

In the desert, Niu Ben stood in front of a tent, quietly holding up his binoculars and looking at the sea.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Sun Jie telling him to stay put and wait for reinforcements.

Half a month has passed now, but the reinforcements are delayed.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait for reinforcements.

There were still bullets in the gun carried on their shoulders, which did not give them a sense of security.

The biggest problem is not weapons, but supplies.

The supplies in the army can only be supplied for three days.

If you still can't see the aid after three days, I'm afraid you can only fight them desperately.

At the same time, fifty miles to the north, in a military camp.

Prime Minister Tachi sat on the main seat and looked at the people in front of him.

"Everyone, in my opinion, the enemy's food can only last for three days. I decided to attack with all my strength tomorrow morning!"

Tachi's voice was loud and powerful.

These generals in the tent are warriors he personally picked up.

These people were born in poverty, and they all have the idea of ​​being loyal to the country.

Unlike the old officers left behind by the old emperor, this is a vigorous army.

This army now desperately needs a victory to prove itself.

So Tachi brought this army over.

In his opinion, taking down Niuben is as easy as pie.

And you can also get powerful firearms.

If this kind of firearm can be imitated, the recovery of the Safavid Empire will not be a dream.

"Follow Your Excellency's order!"

The generals stood up and shouted in unison.

……

The moonlight gradually fades, and the light begins to appear.

The desert was still a bit chilly in the morning, but Taqi's army had yet to set off.

There are ten soldiers and horses, totaling 1 people.

These 1 people have infantry and cavalry.

There are also many catapults and artillery.

In the past few days of fighting against Niu Ben, Tachi has figured out how powerful Niu Ben is, so he specially transferred these things from the rear.

These ten soldiers and horses, like ten sharp arrows, rushed towards the bull.

In the desert, smoke and dust are everywhere.

This abnormal scene was finally discovered.

Niu Ben sent Yebushou to investigate.

Because there are no horses, they can only run on two legs.

UAVs have long been unable to fly, and they can only rely on this stupid method.

Sometimes, the power of technology is not as powerful as imagined.At critical moments, we still have to rely on people.

It is a mistake to emphasize technology.

Fortunately, Sun Jie made a change a long time ago.

The training of soldiers still focuses on physical fitness and traditional military formations.

The ten soldiers and horses finally stopped three miles away from Niu Ben's barracks.

The soldiers were first dispatched and began to harass.

Naturally, Niu Ben would not be polite, and arranged a circular defense line in front of the camp, with a total of two layers, surrounding the camp.

The weapons and ammunition in his hands are enough, and the circular defense line can also be used.

The sun had risen to its highest point, and a hundred-man squad came to the front of the defense line.

They were greeted by bullets.

The howling bullets penetrated their chests and took their lives.

Blood flowed continuously from the hole in his chest like a waterfall.

The dry desert sucks blood mercilessly.

Just one face-to-face, this hundred-man team suffered a lot of losses.

There is no way but to retreat.

Tachi immediately went to the wounded barracks to check the situation.

Looking at the wounded soldiers in the military tent, Tachi's face was surprisingly pale.

"Your Excellency, it's not that we didn't work hard, it's that the enemy's firepower is too strong. Many of our comrades died there, and many of our comrades will never come back."

A wounded soldier grabbed Tuqi's arm and said with tears in his eyes.

The bullet penetrated his thigh, but fortunately it only tore the muscle and did not damage the bone.

"Don't worry, you won't die in vain, you won't die in vain!" Tach said calmly.
