The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 290

The defeat of the Persian Empire was imminent, and the countries of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance were truly shocked by the strength of the Great China Empire, but the Persian Empire could not be rescued, and if it was not saved, it would be tantamount to increasing the strength of the Great China Empire.

Vienna is probably at the center of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance. At this time, it has become the place where the Eighteen-Nation Alliance discusses. Finally, after a quarrel, the Eighteen-Nation Alliance decided to reinforce the Persian Empire.

They gathered a total of 50 troops, of which Qing sent 30 cavalry and [-] infantry, and other countries raised [-] musketeers, [-] spearmen, and [-] cavalry.

Among them, more than half of the muskets used by the musketeers were matchlock muskets. In fact, countries did not want to go to war with the Dahua Empire so early.

Because the guns that the Qing Dynasty obtained from the Dahua Empire told them that the muskets of the Dahua Empire could shoot six shots in a row. This number was extremely terrifying for all countries at this time.

Although the military research center of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance was able to imitate the revolver rifle of the Great China Empire, they couldn't make the bullets that matched it. They saw the function of the material at the bottom of the bullet, but they couldn't understand how it extracted.

This made the heads of state very distressed, especially the powerful countries such as Britain and France. Such a powerful individual weapon, combined with the vast and populous Dahua Empire, is simply immeasurable in its destructive power.

For this reason, the Eighteen-Nation Alliance could only settle for the next best thing, and began to vigorously build firearms factories to produce miniature firearms. For the technical preparations of various countries, the pressure to imitate firearms is not great.

At this moment, the Dutch side raised an objection.

Because if Britain, France and other countries go overland, the day lily will probably be cold when they arrive in Persia, and there will not be much reinforcements left after the Long March, and the Qing Dynasty will send troops to rescue alone, but Suo Etu, the special envoy appointed by Kangxi, is decisive. reject.

This time, the Ottoman Empire entrenched between Asia, Europe and Africa suddenly became a thorn in everyone's eyes, because Ottoman occupied the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, making it impossible for reinforcements from various countries to assist the Persian Empire in a timely and convenient manner. After all, European countries reached the Persian Empire by sea. It was much quicker and more convenient, but after negotiations, the Ottoman Empire refused to let it go.

The special envoys from various countries sneered again and again, and the Dutch special envoy made a reasonable statement. In the end, the countries reached a simple agreement that they were not going to send troops to assist Persia for the time being, and each tacitly returned home to wait for the emperor's ruling.

Kangxi learned that the Eighteen-Nation Alliance wanted to attack the Ottoman Empire and drive the Ottoman Empire back to Asia. From the bottom of his heart, he disagreed, because it was irrational to provoke the Ottoman Empire at this time, and the Ottoman Empire was not easy to defeat. However, the Ottoman Empire was a hindrance to the Eighteen-Nation Alliance. If they went overland, the infantry of Britain, France and other countries would be useless, and it would have an impact on future wars.

"If the Ottoman Empire is defeated, the pressure on the Qing Dynasty will be reduced by more than half. Now that the countries have reached a consensus, they can only fight."

Kangxi could only sigh deeply. He could only express sympathy for the Persian Empire. It would be even better if the Persian Empire could hold back the Dahua Empire for a few years.

For the thirties just passed at this time, after life and death, and many fights with Jiang Tao to experience the ups and downs of life, Kangxi has long been indifferent and hard-hearted, but knowing the situation of the Persian Empire, he still can't bear it. Live chilling.

"The Dahua thief is so fierce, what should the Qing Dynasty do?"

Kangxi's mind just relaxed a little, and he immediately recovered his normal color. He knew that if he didn't have the confidence to defeat the Dahua traitor, then the Manchu princes and ministers and the Han people would be discouraged, so he hurriedly summoned Mingzhu and ordered him to personally supervise the production of muskets. Cited some Western technology, and made every effort to build muskets using Minie bullets. Without the drag of the navy, the Qing Dynasty could produce more than 3000 new muskets in January.

In order to fight against the Great China Empire, Kangxi did not have much energy to guard against the Han people. Instead, he used the Han people to guard against the Russians, and reused some Russians to contain the Han people. The government and the opposition reached a balance in a short period of time.

Under the butcher knife of the Manchu Eight Banners, even the fierce Cossacks surrendered. Kangxi resumed production in the territory many times, relieved all the serfs in the former Russian territory, and quickly eliminated most of the original nobles. These serfs Except for some who became the coated slaves of the Manchu nobles, the rest became free citizens.

After the bloody storm, the Qing Dynasty healed and consolidated, all the Russians were killed, and they forgot to resist for a while. Among them, the Han people contributed the most.

Kangxi struck while the iron was hot and reduced taxes, but these were secondary. He mainly developed military power. In addition to the 40 Manchurian and Han cavalry, he recruited 60 Cossack cavalry and more than a million standing troops. One-half, he plans to turn more than half of the million-odd standing army into musketeers, of which 30 are Han Chinese, [-] are Manchus, and nearly [-] Russians. letter.

In fact, Kangxi was very hesitant when he learned the power of the Minie bullets. The Han infantry equipped with Minie-style muskets could threaten the Manchurian cavalry, but in order to fight against the Dahua Empire, he had no other choice. Less, the Han Chinese who follow are at least more loyal than the Russians.

However, according to the manufacturing process of the Bing Zhansi, it will take at least 20 years for the Qing Dynasty to equip 70 new troops. Qing's Bingzhangsi doubled its output.

For this, Kangxi had no choice but to agree. After all, if European countries want to attack the Dahua Empire from land, they must either go through the Qing Dynasty or the Persian Empire. Persia is in a bad situation now, so the only way to build an arsenal is in the Qing Dynasty.

After all, it is very difficult to push cannons and ammunition from Britain, France and other countries to Dahua, but setting up the arsenal in Moscow saves a lot of distance.

Although Kangxi was still not satisfied with the progress of the Bing Zhansi, he also knew that haste makes waste. Just when the Eighteen-Nation Alliance sent a large number of troops to Vienna, the countries learned that the coast of Spain was bombarded by a large number of warships of the Great China Empire. news.

The Eighteen Nations Alliance were all horrified. They didn't expect the attack of the Great China Empire to be so fast. Britain, France, and the Netherlands don't have many battleships at all. Thinking that more than [-] battleships were wiped out a few years ago, they hesitated. They all consciously assembled the main battleships to avoid the battle.

But at this time, Shi Lang's face was stretched. Because of the bombing of the Spanish coastal shipyards, 110 clipper warships fired more than 10000 explosive bombs. Although the Spanish shipyards were in ruins, the prepared ammunition was obviously not enough up.

You must know that the Spanish navy has long since fallen, and the main targets of this battle are the shipyards of Britain, France, and the Netherlands, but I did not expect that the shipyards in Spain would waste so many shells from the empire.

Shi Lang sighed softly. He just asked these captains to teach the Spaniards a little lesson. He didn't expect them to be so impulsive. They fired a third of the shells, but destroyed the overall battle plan. It seems that his prestige is not enough. Blame Spain for killing too many Han Chinese in Luzon. It seems that the emperor unknowingly inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers, which is really high.

"The expedition is going on, killing the general is inauspicious, and killing one's own people will only make the brothers more dissatisfied."

Thinking of this, Shi Lang finally did not severely punish the captain who violated the military order. He cut off the white hair on his head as a punishment.

Seeing Shi Lang's benevolence, all the captains were very moved, and all of a sudden they were united and their morale increased greatly.

After a short rest, Shi Lang left Spain with the flying scissors advance fleet and set off again.

Originally, the captains proposed to land in Portugal, a small country with only centimeters, to carry out a devastating blow to Portugal.

But this time Shi Lang resolutely refused. Portugal is a small country after all, and it is not worthwhile to waste time on him. Although his subordinates have such strength, he suppressed the impulse of everyone, saying that they are the navy after all, and the work of the army will be handed over to the army. Dry.

Portugal had already prepared for the annihilation of the entire navy. All members of the navy went ashore to hide, but they escaped. It was really a celebration for the whole country. After that, the Portuguese navy retreated three feet when they saw the navy of the Great China Empire. Hundreds of years have not dared a single conflict with the Empire.

ps: I originally had to code more than two chapters, but laziness is the greatest enemy in life. Take this as a warning, and I will definitely have more than two chapters tomorrow.
