Chapter 1336 Hope is in the West

At this moment, someone was silent. It is not that there are no peasant uprisings in Europe, but the power of the nobles is always very strong.Ordinary resistance is mostly just one nobleman defeating another nobleman.There are very few people who are really successful in the resistance of the pure bottom.This point, even in Chinese history, is actually only Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing this situation, it seemed that the leader had expected it, and he immediately continued: "If you don't resist, the military supplies are suppressed, do you have any surplus food in your family? Tell me, who has surplus food? What about your wives and children? If you oppose his mother, there is still a way to live; if you don’t, people like us will die!"

Hearing this, someone was moved.However, there are still some people who are a little hesitant.It's okay to let them listen to this kind of remarks and vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts; but when they really pick up their swords and guns and go desperately, their worries will come out, which is also human nature.

"Henry, although the elite troops of the nobles have all gone to the east to fight the Ming army, don't we still have noble troops here? How can we fight them? Can we fight them?"

Someone raised an objection, which seemed to represent the worries of the majority of people. Most of the people nodded and looked at the leader named Henry.

Seeing this, Henry immediately replied: "You don't need to fight with these nobles. As long as you don't want to die for the nobles and die in the hands of the nobles, you can go west and go to the seaside! Our hope lies by the seaside!"

Hearing that it was not a direct confrontation with the noble army, many people were moved and asked questions one after another.

Henry pointed to the west, and said to them: "There is a lot of food in the sea, at least no one will starve to death. Also, the hope I am referring to is not just food. You believe me, as long as you go to the sea, our suffering days , will usher in the dawn!"

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he continued to add: "The nobles have been oppressing us, so let them have a taste of life without us, let them go to the fields by themselves!"

Hearing this, the people in the room suddenly became agitated.They imagined that those aristocratic lords cook, wash clothes, farm fields, and empty toilets by themselves, and all of them laughed and looked forward to it.

Rather than waiting to die here, it is better to flee to the seaside.A confrontation of this intensity is better than an open fight with the noble army.

So, the people in the house, led by Henry, began to organize the westward migration.

Not only the people in this house, but also other places, there are similar people organizing. These people, without exception, are actually agents of Jinyiwei.

On this day, Ferdinand II, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, had a banquet all night. Before he got up, he was woken up by the guard: "Your Majesty, it's not good, those untouchables have all run away!"

"What, what ran away?" Ferdinand II was confused, "Where can they go?"

A little flustered, the guard quickly replied: "All the untouchables have run away, and they all went west. There are not many untouchables in the city, and many jobs are left unattended, even...not even the toilets in the palace are empty. , it stinks!"

"What?" Ferdinand II jumped up from the bed in shock.This news was too unexpected. For him, he would not be surprised to hear that those untouchables rebelled.But those untouchables all ran away, which was something that had never happened before, so he was surprised.

Walking quickly to the window sill and looking at the city outside, I found that the street was really empty, and it seemed that even the soldiers were much less.

"Your Majesty, according to the report below, those untouchables have fled to the west, saying that their hope is in the west, and they don't want to starve to death here!"

The words of the guard made Ferdinand II confused for a while, hoping to be in the west, what does this mean?Kind of like playing a riddle?Could it be another ghost made by Protestants?
Thinking of this, he ordered troops to stop the untouchables, and hurriedly went to the Protestant king, such as Queen Christina of Sweden.However, they got an angry answer, saying that Ferdinand II was slandering them. How could they do such a thing when they united against the Ming army!Should it be that your Holy Roman Empire is incompetent and unable to control the situation?

This angry and mocking reply made Ferdinand II a little annoyed, wishing to kill all these former opponents now.However, he finally suppressed his anger and continued to send troops to intercept the fleeing untouchables.Those who dare to disobey will kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Of course, based on the uncommon behavior of the untouchables, the scale is too large, which makes him a little worried. He dare not send all the troops out, and must leave enough troops to protect their own safety.

In this way, a funny scene appeared.

Those soldiers caught up with some serfs and ordered them to go back.Okay, then go back, and when those soldiers continue to chase others, these serfs who agreed continue to reincarnate and go west.Later, the soldiers assigned people to watch and escort the serfs back.But in this way, the original chasing troops were not enough. After such a thinning, it was even more difficult to stop more serfs, which made the chasing soldiers in a dilemma.

The most important thing is that the terrain from here to the west is mainly plains, and there are no checkpoints to set up to intercept.Those serfs, as long as the soldiers did not chase after them, they would all take their children and head west firmly.

The interception was not effective, which made Ferdinand II panic.At this time, other kings gave him an idea, saying that there must be someone behind such a large-scale exodus.As long as those people are caught, the situation can be reversed.

Queen Christina of Sweden suggested that since those untouchables are worried that they will starve to death if they stay here, then you promise to let them come back and guarantee that they will not starve to death.
In this regard, Ferdinand II was too lazy to care about this chick. If you want money and food, how can you say it?He immediately issued a decree to other places, asking them to mobilize troops to drive the untouchables back to their hometowns.

However, this exodus incident has spread to many places, and it is not so fast to mobilize the army.What's more, because of the frontline operations, the remaining cavalry is already very limited.It is really powerless to rely on infantry to intercept.

In the end, Ferdinand II heard the report from his subordinates and was consulted by the kings of various countries. He concluded that the direction of the untouchables who left on a large scale was basically the same, and they all went to the mouth of the Scheldt River.At this moment he immediately sent an army, ignoring the untouchables on the road, to the mouth of the Scheldt.

Sure enough, untouchables have already arrived here, simple tents are set up everywhere, and many people are looking for fish and shrimp by the sea.Seeing the army coming, they all panicked and fled in all directions.

Ferdinand II's army drove the untouchables together and demanded that they return home.If you don't listen, you will kill people here.

Many people have no idea, so they can only go to Henry and others.They are a little scared. If they don't return home, don't they have no choice but to fight the army unarmed?

However, Henry and the others' answers surprised them a bit.

"Don't worry, everyone, stick to it for one day, as long as you stick to it for one day, the sky will change!"

Henry and the others even came forward in person to negotiate with the army. Anyway, they talked about various difficulties and asked to stay for one more day.When the nobles who led the army heard that the untouchables dared to negotiate terms, they immediately became angry, and hanged Henry and the others to beat them in front of everyone.

The sea wind howled, and under the scorching sun, the army surrounded the crowd and separated them. Henry and the others were hanging on the wooden frame that had been temporarily rushed out, dripping with blood.

Seeing this situation, to the surprise of the leading nobles, not only were the serfs not afraid, but they became angry and began to attack the isolation of the army, wanting to save people.

Henry and the others didn't ask for anything in return, they just brought them to the seaside, no matter whether there was any real hope or not, at least they could eat early here, at least they didn't have to work hard for the noble lord all day, but they still had to face their wives and children waiting to be fed when they returned home .

Seeing the turmoil of the crowd, the nobles leading the army became angry from embarrassment, and when they really wanted to order shooting to suppress a group, suddenly, the crowd that was still turbulent just now, all fell silent, and everyone looked at the direction of the sea, without saying a word, with expressions on their faces. They were all surprised.

When the leading nobleman saw it, he felt a little strange. When he turned his head to look, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

I saw countless ships on the sea, flying flags they had never seen before, heading this way.

It can be seen by visual inspection that the figure on the boat is red.

I don't know who it is, and suddenly shouted loudly: "It is... the Ming army?"

Although they had never seen it before, they had heard of the Ming army's uniform being red.Seeing it now, some people couldn't help but guess like this.

The leading nobles didn't believe it. You know, this is the sea, and the other side of the sea is only America.Although there are Ming troops, it is impossible to go here at this time, right?
People on the shore, regardless of men, women, children or serfs, all stared blankly at the mighty fleet.

Getting closer, getting closer, and when the people on the boat can be seen clearly, the different races immediately make the previous guess possible.

The serfs cheered happily: "Ming army, it's the Ming army, the Ming army is here..."

The soldiers cried out in alarm: "Ming army, it's the Ming army, the Ming army is here..."

This fleet is the other half of the Ming Navy that Zheng Zhilong said, led by Li Zhiqi, led by John and others, and there is a world map for reference. It crossed the Americas, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, lost more than 40 warships, and finally arrived. Europe.

Naturally, Li Zhiqi knew about everything that happened on the shore in advance through the chat group.Li Zhiqi actually didn't tell the truth about these Jinyiwei spies on the shore, and told the itinerary for an extra day to prevent traitors from appearing and prepare the enemy.

When the landing ships of the Ming Navy began to dock, and when the soldiers of the Ming army in red uniforms began to land, the shore suddenly became chaotic.

The leading noble immediately took the lead and was the first to escape, and his troops followed suit.It's just that they are so small that they can't resist the huge fleet at all.

However, those serfs were excited. At this moment, they finally understood what the so-called hope is in the west.Seeing that the noble troops were about to flee, they rushed up immediately, even though they were unarmed, they fought without any scruples.

The Ming army was still landing, Henry and others were rescued, and all the people at the bottom warmly welcomed the arrival of the Ming army.

In later generations, many painters have painted this scene, because it is a knife inserted into the heart of European nobles.

After that, everything will be logical.

These low-level people in Europe, leading the Ming army, began to attack the left-behind noble army in the west of Europe at a very fast speed, and liberated the local people.It can be described as a sea of ​​red, quickly spreading across Europe.

The cavalry of the Marine Corps led by Zheng Zhilong is like a dagger, ignoring everything else, straight into Aachen where the kings of all countries are located.

Ferdinand II was so anxious about the paralyzed empire that his mouth was blistered. When he heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes, he thought the cavalry he sent had returned.Immediately be ruthless, we must teach the untouchables a lesson, and kill a group of them ruthlessly.

However, when he saw from the window that the cavalrymen sweeping in the distance were in red military uniforms, he was immediately stunned.

Aachen's army, many of which had already been sent out, was at a time when it was empty, and it might be able to stop the surprise attacking Ming army.He immediately despaired.

When Zheng Zhilong broke through the city gate of Aachen, the palace where the palace was located was already on fire, and the fire was so intense that it was impossible to save it.How many nobles and kings from various countries were burned to death in this fire has become a mystery in the world.

When the hinterland of Europe was raided by the Ming army, the Ming army landed in the Persian Gulf also invaded the transfer station of the Persian Empire's military supplies and food, and immediately expanded the results of the battle, attacking cities and towns everywhere.The whole of Europe and the junction of Eurasia and Africa are covered in red.

Because of the instant messaging function of the chat group, the two armies of Ming Dynasty cooperated with each other and used the same method to attack the enemy's rear. This tried and tested combat method once again put the frontline enemy in a difficult situation.

On the front line of Fort Mingwy, when Philip IV learned that there was a problem with the untouchables in the rear, he had already begun to worry about logistical issues.

He had already organized several attacks on Fort Mingwy, but the results were not satisfactory.It is really that the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, and the command of the other party is well handled.Even once, when one's own troops retreated, they were rushed out by the cavalry in the city and abused them.

Under such a background, the generals of various countries began to avoid the war, and no one wanted to send their own country's troops without a clear expectation of defeating Mingwei Fort.

For this reason, Philip IV convened a military meeting, requiring each country to send troops to form death squads, and must take Mingwei Castle before food shortages.At the end, he encouraged them: "After fighting for so long, the Ming army's gunpowder consumption must be almost the same. As long as we maintain the attack intensity, the Ming army will definitely run out of ammunition and have no power to fight back!"

For this point, other generals actually have this understanding.After so much painstaking effort, Fort Minwy will eventually be defeated. This is the consensus of everyone.

Therefore, they agreed to start the decisive battle tomorrow, and they could not delay any longer.

However, what they didn't expect was that Man Gui and Li Dingguo looked at the weather vane on the top of Mingwei Castle, felt that the weather was suitable, and said to each other in unison: "It seems that we can act tonight!"

After finishing speaking, the two coincidentally laughed.

They had never seen Daming's trump card before.Now this night, it's time to use the trump card, but it's a pity that it's night, the moon is still a little thin, and the moonlight is limited, which is a pity!
