I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 223 The fall of Barcelona, ​​the wrath of Shinra!

Chapter 223 The fall of Barcelona, ​​the wrath of Shinra!
The roaring artillery fire covered the entire port and a small half of the city. Even at the other end of the northernmost city, the roar of the port and the shaking of the earth could be heard.

"That's almost enough. Our soldiers have already been dispatched. Let's fire a few less guns. After all, this is our port. Don't let it be destroyed."

Seeing that Wang Zhi's pirate army had landed, Fujian Navy Commander Lin Yiwen immediately shook his head and indicated that he could stop.

Pirates are never weak.

For example, the strongest armed force against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty was the Zheng Family Group. Their troops were pirates. In the late Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong's status was no less than that of Wang Zhi.

In this way, we can naturally see how good the combat effectiveness of Wang Zhi's more than 2 subordinates are.

What's more, the weapons and equipment eliminated by the Ming army were all accepted by these pirates like rags. The pirates were particularly happy after receiving the Ming's orthodox ordnance, especially among them there were more than 1000 "Yongle No. [-]" rods. As if Wang Zhi had found a treasure, he immediately equipped his core younger brother with equipment, which can be said to be the best in South Asia.

After passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, Ming Dynasty ignored the countless ports along the way and crossed directly, causing those ports to panic. It frightened the pirates along the way. Now here, this place is located close to France and Spain. The port at the junction must be easily captured.

Once you have established a foothold here, you can directly cut off the waterway connection between the Iberian Peninsula and the European continent. As long as you are like a nail embedded here, wait for the arrival of either of the Huangming First Fleet or the Second Fleet, supplemented by twelve If you choose any battalion in the regiment, you can easily conquer the Iberian Peninsula!

This is the result of Wang Zhi's discussion with David and Lin Yiwen... of course, mainly David.

After all, Wang Zhi had never been here before, and it was easier for David to do this.

In fact, he originally wanted Wang Zhi and Lin Yiwen to go straight to Huanglong, capture Venice directly, and become the real governor of Venice.

But after all, Venice is located in the core area of ​​the Mediterranean, which is a bit too far away. Let’s take it step by step, first win Barcelona, ​​and then win the whole of Europe step by step.

The pirate legion has already attacked, and the entire Barcelona has begun to panic.

Barcelona is located in the hinterland and has been at peace for a long time. It has not experienced the influence of war for a long time. After the sudden bombardment and Wang Zhi's attack, the entire Barcelona fell into a panic situation at a loss.

As the artillery fire stopped, the transport ship full of pirates stopped. The pirates who were very familiar with robbing ports had their eyes shining, holding the rifles in their hands tightly, staring at this bustling city with greedy eyes, wishing they could Grab them all here!

"rush!"

"Hold it, don't let these Siris people come up!"

The local chief executive, Ragus, was already in a panic. He came directly to the front line in military uniform, sweating profusely and commanding the remaining troops, planning to organize a counterattack to stop the Wang Zhibu pirates who were charging towards them.

However, Ragus, who had just arrived at the front line with his soldiers, was hit hard by the pirates' free firepower before he could stop him. He could only hide in the ruins shivering, not daring to fight with the pirates. Head-on firefight.

The ironclad warships Xie Cheng and Guo Ying docked on the coast immediately turned their guns, calculated the angle, and bombarded the Spanish army's hiding spot directly.

When the Spanish army conquered North America and India, they used this method to attack the local indigenous people. However, they did not expect that they would be treated the same way in return. It was difficult to accept it for a while, and one of them had participated in the attack. The Spanish officers who were conquering the Aztec Empire were even more panicked.

"We must hold on, we can't let them take over!"

He knew this scene too well.

He knew very well what these Siris people were going to do next. They would kill all the men in the city and snatch away all the women. Then they would openly settle in the city, become the masters of the city, and appoint a governor...

what?
Why does he know?

Because they did this when they were fighting against the Aztec Empire. He had hundreds of North American native lives under his command, but only a few of them were killed on the battlefield.

Comparing his feelings with his own, the officer was now shaking with fear, feeling the impact of civilized society for the first time.

However, with the roar of artillery fire from the Xie Cheng ship and the Guo Ying ship, in an instant, the ruined defense line built by the Spanish army was easily broken through, and the Ming army pirates came up one after another.

"kill!"

"Master... Ahem, the general said, if you kill a barbarian soldier, you will be rewarded with two taels of silver!"

"Don't rob me!"

"..."

In an instant, these pirates rushed forward. Seeing that some Spanish soldiers had not yet withdrawn, their eyes instantly became excited, and they rushed over without even using bayonets. They directly raised their rifle butts and pointed towards them. The Spanish soldier was smashed in the face, followed by several screams, and his flesh and blood suddenly became mutilated.

"Come on, Xiaoliang, don't waste time, the big one is still ahead! The one with dark clothes looks like a high-ranking foreign devil. If we catch him, we might still be able to go to Beijing to see His Majesty!"

"Kill kill kill!"

The pirates went crazy and killed everyone they saw!

At this moment, the Spanish soldiers were frightened out of their courage. They no longer looked like the "elites of the empire on which the sun never sets" before. They were only trembling. After they recovered, they desperately dropped their weapons and continued to fight. Escape.

After all, they had been separated from the war for a long time, and they were stunned by the artillery fire at the beginning. It is really difficult to describe this war. It was simply a one-sided massacre.

The four superior officers on the warship had already disembarked.

They are General Jinghai of the Ming Dynasty and Wang Zhi, Governor of Spain.

Admiral of the Fujian Navy, Lin Yiwen.

David Zhang, Minister of Western Trade and Commerce of the Ming Dynasty and Governor of Venice.

Of course, in addition to these three, there is also a young Jin Yiwei accompanying him as a supervisor. His name is Zhang Fang and his family background is prominent.

Looking at Barcelona, ​​which was already in flames, Supervisor Zhang Fang frowned and said to Wang Zhi: "General Wang, pay attention to military discipline. This Barcelona...Barcelona will be my Ming Dynasty's first territory in the ocean, so we still need to pay attention. It’s better not to massacre the city if it’s affected.”

Hearing Zhang Fang's words, Wang Zhi didn't take it seriously. He just nodded slightly and planned to deal with it.

When Lin Yiwen saw this situation, he immediately spoke up and reminded Wang Zhi in kind words: "Governor Wang, your Majesty loves the army with solemn military discipline. If Governor Wang wants to achieve success in the court, he still needs to pay attention to military appearance and discipline... That’s not to say you can’t rob, but you also have to pay attention to the method.”

Hearing Lin Yiwen's words, Wang Lili immediately came to his senses, and then said to his confidants: "Give me an order! After entering the city, you must have a certain attitude, plunder and plunder, and don't commit too many crimes! If you let me know, don't do it." Blame me for not being brotherly!"

"After we capture the city, we will discuss merit and reward together!"

Wang Zhi didn't dare to say too much, he could only do his best.

After all, everyone has been holding it in for so long, just waiting to enter the city to grab it. If they don't let them grab it at this time, something may happen.

Therefore, Wang Zhi can only say that he should kill as few people as possible.

The pirates on the front line had already broken through the defense line and began to kill towards the rich areas of Barcelona.

As soon as they entered the wealthy area, they saw white flags hung in these villas. At the same time, there were also people with official appearance kneeling in front of the area, crying to the pirates who came in:
"We surrender!"

"Lord Siris, please spare your life. We don't dare to go against you anymore. Please let our family go."

"..."

Looking at these voices, the leader of the pirates sneered.

Can't understand.

I really don't understand.

Language barrier.

However, from their expressions, the pirates naturally knew what it meant. Just as they were charging in without leaving any trace behind, they suddenly heard a voice from behind saying: "The general has an order, don't kill too many people! We are officers and soldiers now, After taking the city, we will reward you based on your merits!" When these pirates heard these words, they couldn't help but be stunned, and a feeling of dissatisfaction was spreading. But at this moment, they suddenly heard another order: "The Emperor The first fleet of the Ming Dynasty has set off, if there is anyone who is restless and rebellious, the Ming Dynasty will punish them!"

After hearing this, everyone became honest.

After all, they thought of the tyrannical Wei Qing ship and Huo Qubing ship at that time.

Although they now have ironclad ships, they are nothing compared to the Wei Qing ship and the Huo Qubing ship.

What's even more horrifying is that at least a hundred people in Wang Zhi's army have met the emperor and witnessed the emperor's magic...

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became rational, and the leader immediately said: "Seal this place up and wait for that foreign devil governor to translate."

"Okay, let's continue the pursuit, catch that high official, and enjoy glory and wealth!"

The pirates left the scene in a huff and went to chase the local administrator Ragus.

After the pirates left, the Ming Dynasty regular army of the Fujian Navy also landed in this foreign territory at an orderly pace.

There are not many in number, only 300 people, and the rest are still on the warship, operating the warship.

But these 300 people are uniform and can play the role of 3000 or even 5000 people.

Not long after, Ragus, the chief executive of Barcelona, ​​was captured by the pirates tied up. Ragus was now sweating profusely.

After seeing Ragus, the four superiors just looked at each other, and then the supervisor Zhang Fangfang ordered without hesitation: "Pull him out and kill him."

They have no plans to negotiate with Spain yet.

Wait until you can't move anymore!
Ragus was pulled out like this, unable to understand anything, and his life ended with a bullet.

And soon, Wang Zhi received a report from his subordinates, and he immediately felt very excited: "Rich area? Gather all the wealth. If there are any obstacles, kill them immediately!"

"Go to the slave area. Today, my Ming army will enter the city. I will give the slaves a better future and give them a chance to fight for the Ming Dynasty!"

Barcelona has completely fallen into the hands of Ming Dynasty.

Next, they will use Barcelona as their base to continue to expand!

……

Holy Roman Empire, Vienna.

The master of this huge loose alliance that is neither holy, nor Roman, nor imperial, the HRE Emperor Carlos I is feeling a dull pain in his head.

Although he was called Carlos I, his real name was Charles.

But this is not very important anymore.

At this stage, although the Age of Discovery was progressing rapidly, threats from mainland Europe continued. In order to compete for Italy and the disputed Burgundy territory, he fought many wars with King Francois I of France.

Although he once captured the French king, this stubborn Frenchman refused to admit defeat again and again, which made his head hurt.

He will never give up on Italy.

After all, his empire was called the Holy Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire without Rome is a huge joke.

Therefore, no matter what, he must conquer Italy and take Rome, so that he, the emperor of the Roman Empire, can truly be justified.

But recently, a problem that troubled Carlos I arose.

The Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of France formed an alliance to resist themselves.

The interest relationship between France and itself is Italy's territorial dispute.

There were also territorial disputes with the Ottoman Empire.

After all, in a certain situation, the Ottoman Empire, which occupied Constantinople, was more like the mortal enemy of the Holy Roman Empire!
The title of emperor of the Roman Empire can only be inherited by one emperor. Therefore, the Ottoman Empire must die!

In addition, Carlos I also received another news, that is, it is said that in the Far East, the ancient Seris Empire is taking action, and it seems that it is going to launch some great operation.

But Carlos I felt that this should be no big deal.

After all, the Far East is too far away. Even if there is a big move, it will still be a turbulent Far East situation. What does it have to do with myself?It won’t be another Yellow Peril, right?

Carlos I took a deep breath, looked at the map, and decided to mobilize the army again to attack France and give France a little color first.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, the voice of a palace attendant came from a distance, disrupting Carlos I's thoughts.

Although Carlos I was a little angry, he was still a wise emperor after all. He did not get angry because of this. Instead, he said gently: "What happened? Could it be that the Ottomans and France have declared war on us?"

"No, no!"

The palace waiter's voice was a little frightened, and then he said to Carlos I: "Barcelona, ​​Barcelona has fallen! The whole of Catalonia has been attacked!"

"what?!"

Carlos I was so shocked that he stood up and said angrily: "Is it the Ottomans?! Damn it, they actually started the war without declaring it!"

After all, in the Mediterranean area, only the Ottomans had such a powerful navy and could attack Barcelona directly.

The palace waiter said in horror: "No, according to rumors, it is the Seris! The Seris are coming with an ironclad ship that can float on the sea!"

When Carlos I heard this, his eyes instantly darkened.

It turns out that the legendary Seris Empire’s big move was really aimed at him!
Carlos I did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Give up the fight in Italy, gather the army, and take back Barcelona!"

He still knew exactly what to do.

Spain is our basic base, and Italy’s land will probably come back next time!
The Seris people have been working hard on an expedition, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold and then defeat them.

Moreover, Carlos I felt that it was impossible for the Serris warships to successfully reach Barcelona without the cover of the Ottoman Empire!

The Ottoman Empire must have played some role in this.

Damn!

Damn it!
Siris people, how dare you commit such a crime!

Next, let you see the anger from the Holy Roman Emperor!

 I recommend this book, "How did I become a Taoist talker because I was just talking about it?"
