Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 441 Let’s fight a world-wide war with the French Rakshasa American Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
"General, the meeting of the Twelve City Lords has passed a resolution to establish the Aztec Republic and elect you as the President of the Republic!"

In the palace of General Zhengdong of the Ming Dynasty in the city of Acapulco, Geng Juyi's confidant Li Daoren, who was wearing a Taoist robe and claiming to be a heavenly master, rushed over happily with Fuchen in his arms and reported to General Zhengdong Geng Juyi that he had been selected as the Ming Dynasty Master. Good news from the President.

Hearing the news, Geng Juyi, who was playing chess with "President of the United States" Wu Guogui, trembled and became excited. He also took the chess pieces in his hand and slapped the chessboard hard: "Surrounded, President Wu." , let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!”

Wu Guogui, who was sitting opposite him, was wearing a sweatshirt and shaking a big cattail leaf fan. Hearing Geng Juyi's words, he just smiled and clasped his fists: "Brother Geng, congratulations, you are now a president. You are a president, and I am also a president. President, we can be closer in the future."

Geng Juyi patted his thigh and laughed and said: "That's natural, Angkor, don't worry, when I invade Mexico and restore the territory of the Aztec Republic, I will help you pacify California. If you need money, if you need money, if you need food, it's all on my little brother."

"Okay, okay," Wu Guogui said with a smile on his face, "Brother Geng, my president cannot be compared with your president of the Aztec Republic! What does the American empire have? Except for land, there is nothing that can compare with you, brother Geng. Compared to the Aztec Republic? I heard that the Aztec Republic was rich in silver and gold and had a population of several million, more people than the Kingdom of Spain itself!

When Brother Geng invades Mexico City, he will be No. 1 in the New World! "

Wu Guogui's current low profile is not unreasonable. This is the reaction of the US emperor and Mo Mo's true national power!
Today’s American emperor and old Mobius mean nothing at all.Although Louis XIV was crowned the Eastern Emperor of the American Empire, and Zhu Cijiong also took the name of the Western Emperor, neither the Ming Dynasty nor France were able to send a large number of immigrants to North America.

After all, the Atlantic and Pacific waterways are not very smooth. On one side, there are Dutch privateers flying the Spanish flag, and on the other side, the Spanish Armada is blocking them.Of course the large fleet can break through, but if a small-scale immigrant fleet encounters them, it will be a dead end.

Moreover, even if no one stops them, if Ming and France want to increase the number of people registered under the same name as the US emperor to several million, it will not be possible in ten or eight years.However, Geng Juyi's two routes of "anti-Spanish monarchy" and "Aztec republic" advanced so smoothly that he failed to win the three major sieges of the Governor's Palace of New Spain, and the city-state of Acre became increasingly unstable. It grew bigger and bigger, growing from one city to twelve cities.

Recently, because the King and Prime Minister of Spain were excommunicated by the Roman Church, they suddenly became "Aztec orthodoxy" - now the Roman Church not only excommunicated Carlos II and Juan Jose, but also abolished them again The Papal Meridian.From the perspective of the Catholic Church, the legitimacy of the Spanish king's rule over the colonies of New Spain was gone.

And the King of Spain’s New Spain is no longer legal, so doesn’t the legal system of the Aztec Empire return?Although Geng Juyi is not the Aztec royal family, he is not an emperor or a king now. He is a republic and a president!There are also twelve free city-states in North America to elect, and the legal authority for the president is very sufficient.

So as long as he enters Mexico City as a victor under the banner of the Aztec Republic, freedom, equality, equal wealth, and anti-Spanish slavery, he will soon be able to conquer the most densely populated area on the American continent. The Mexica Valley is in the pocket, and it is also possible to open up land transportation between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean!This is much more convenient than taking the land route within the US Empire.There is no need to go to Panama. From the Bay of Tehuantepec on the Pacific side to the Bay of Campeche on the Atlantic side, the land distance is only 400 miles.

The cost of a transportation line of several thousand miles cannot be reduced, but as long as the transportation line of 400 miles is managed carefully, the cost is still controllable.

Since the cost is controllable, it is logical to divert the east-west trade line. Once the east-west trade line is changed to the Aztec Republic, the Aztec Republic will not only have mines at home, but also an international trade toll station. , it is difficult to think of being rich or powerful.

If the Aztecs had worked harder, they might have become the first industrialized country in the Americas!
Therefore, the victory of the Aztec Republic would not only cause the Kingdom of Spain to lose countless gold and silver income, but also cut off the financial resources of Britain and the Netherlands. This is the hatred of murderous parents!

The Spanish Prime Minister Juan Jose, who had just returned to Madrid from Naples, Italy, and John Churchill, who represented the new British King William III, did not care about how to kill Louis XIV, but how to destroy this The upcoming Aztec Republic has become the main topic-the two of them have not yet received solid news about the establishment of the Aztec Republic, but Geng Juyi made a heroic announcement and summoned the heroes of the twelve city-states to Acapulco. The news of the city's congress to establish the Aztec Republic had already been heard by the Marquis of Ascenta, the governor of New Spain, and reported to Madrid.

"John, this Aztec Republic has now become a major threat to world stability and rules. If we cannot kill it in time, all our efforts in Europe will eventually be in vain! The Kingdom of Spain will lose The wealth of the New World will decline, and England and the Netherlands will also decline because they have lost their huge trade income. By that time, no power in the world can stop Ming from dominating the East, and no one can stop Louis XIV from dominating Europe. The entire world of hegemony will also lose its past glory and fall into the darkness dominated by the two evil empires of France and Ming Dynasty!"

After staying in Rome for a period of time, Juan Jose's speech skills have improved a lot, but his rhetoric cannot help him defeat his increasingly arrogant opponents.

His battle in Italy was almost a complete failure. Not only did Rome fail to hold, but the Principality of Milan was also lost. It was a huge loss.

If it weren't for William III's actions in England that went smoothly, expelling Charles II and the Duke of York one after another, and then ascending the British throne with his wife, he began to pose a huge threat to Louis XIV, forcing him to give up his control of Naples. After conquest, Spain's possessions in Italy may only be Sicily.

William III, who successfully took over London, also realized that the situation was critical, so as soon as he was firmly established in Kensington Palace, he sent his new younger brother and old friend John Churchill to Madrid - this John Churchill was in history The famous Duke of Marlborough was famous for his military exploits. Together with Prince Eugen, he became the two largest mountains on Louis XIV's way to dominate Europe, and finally stopped Louis XIV.

But now, he is known as a pretty boy and a man-in-law. Not only does he have an ambiguous relationship with William III, he also has a girlfriend of William III's sister-in-law, Princess Anne. And his sister is the Duke of York, also known as James II in history. Mistress of the world.

After playing politics in bed to this extent, he is still one of the best generals in Europe, no one else!
This John Churchill also played the role of the British Wu Sangui for a time in history. He was entrusted with the important task of resisting the Dutch by James II. As a result, he led his army to defection, fell into the arms of William III, and led the Dutch heavenly troops into the city of London.

By the way, it seems that he was also responsible for negotiating the engagement between William III and Princess Mary - he was also a "matchmaker", what a talent!
This talented person, and also an old friend of William III (the two became close when the Duke of York was in exile in the Netherlands), led the Duke of York's hard-working royal army to defect during this incident when the Dutch heavenly troops took over England. , continued to be the "glorious traitor of the Great Britain", and now he is naturally of great importance.

So after William III became the King of England, he immediately sent him to Madrid to discuss with Juan Jose how to fight against France.Unexpectedly, the situation in the New World changed so quickly. The Spanish World Empire was already in danger!

So he didn't bother discussing anti-Fafa with Juan Jose. Let's discuss how to anti-Afghanistan and anti-Ming Dynasty first! "Prime Minister, this Aztec Republic is obviously a serious violation of the international situation and Spanish sovereignty. The British King and the Dutch Consuls will definitely support any actions of the Spanish Kingdom to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity and maintain international order! If necessary, the King and Consuls will Your Majesty will definitely dispatch the British-Dutch fleet to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Aztec Republic!"

John Churchill's clear stance immediately gave the Spanish Prime Minister a sense of hope.He said to John Churchill: "I have sent the Duke of Villahermosa to lead 12000 mercenaries on a sailboat bound for New Spain. He will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Spanish Royal Army in America!"

Hearing that the Duke of Villahermosa would lead 12000 troops to the New World, John Churchill's handsome face showed a smile of confidence in Spain: "This Duke is a great general, and he will be the leader of the Spanish New World." Commander-in-Chief of the Army, it seems that the Chinese puppet republic in the New World cannot last long."

The Duke of Villahermosa once served as the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands and Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Flanders during the Franco-Dutch War. He led the Spanish army and the French army to fight hard for several years. Except for not winning, everything else failed. Impeccable.

And his 12000 troops are all the most elite German mercenaries!
Juan Jose originally planned to use this army for a major counterattack in Italy. As a result, Louis XIV, who had an additional military expenditure of 2 million livres, showed bravery and sent 10 troops to Italy!
Faced with so many enemies, Juan Jose could only give up. He only left a small number of troops in Naples and was ready to give up at any time.
However, Juan Jose can give up Naples, but he cannot give up New Spain.

Because there is a recognized fact within the Kingdom of Spain - there is the Spanish Empire, and then there is the Kingdom of Spain.

In other words, the Kingdom of Spain was born and consolidated entirely on the wealth of the Spanish colonial empire brought by the discovery of the New World. Otherwise, Castile and Aragon, as well as several other small countries, and two knights It is impossible to form the Kingdom of Spain with a large number of feudal lords.

Once Spain loses its colonial empire, even if it does not fall apart, it will withdraw from the ranks of great powers and weaken and become an insignificant country.

"John," Juan Jose said, not very optimistic about the prospect of the fourth siege of the Aztec Republic, "Although the Duke of Villahermosa is a great general, our enemy the Ming Empire also wants to The New World sent a famous commander named Wu Guogui, who was one of the Eight Republic Kings of the Ming Empire. You must know that the Ming Dynasty is a country with a population of 6000 million. If they continue to send troops to the New World, it will be difficult for us to compete with their consumption. .”

"Don't worry," John Churchill assured, "it is impossible for them to send troops to the New World continuously! Because King William III has already issued orders to the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company, ordering them to communicate with Spain, Portugal, and Japan in the east. , the Mongolian navy, jointly launched a strangulation war at sea against the Ming Empire!
Now, all business interests no longer matter. Victory is everything! "

After obtaining the British throne, William III finally made up his mind and prepared to fight a world-wide war with the Ming Dynasty, France, Rakshasa, and the American Empire!
Edo, headquarters of the Spanish Armada.

Although the main force of the Spanish Armada has escorted 10000 Japanese mercenaries to Luzon Island to fight the "Ming Army", there are still some fourth-level battleships and gunboats remaining in Japan. Their mission is to intercept any attempts to pass through Japan's offshore waters to the New World. of Ming Dynasty ships.

The commander of the Spanish Armada, Admiral Pedro de Zabala, had to pay attention to the rapid changes in the situation in Ming Dynasty, Japan, Qing Dynasty, Korea, Zhou Dynasty, etc., so he did not follow the fleet to attack. Instead, he stayed in the comfortable Edo headquarters.

While he was staying in Edo, the Qing Emperor's special envoy, the former Governor of Batavia of the Dutch East India Company, Spielman, and Zheng Xi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Great Clearing Domain, arrived in Japan together. At this time, Spielman Discuss the specific matters of joint operations with Zheng Xizheng.

What this joint operation focuses on is weakening friendly forces and destroying enemies. In fact, it is the same thing. The key is how to preserve yourself. As long as the enemy and friendly forces are gone, won't you win?
Before studying how to conduct joint operations, the two sides have to calculate their accounts and see how much army and navy each can draw.

"At present, the Spanish Armada has a total of one first-class battleship, two second-class battleships, five third-class battleships, 21 fourth-class battleships, thirty Spanish galleons, a total of 59 battleships of all classes, and 50000 Japanese employees. Army and 3000 Spanish Army troops!”

"Our Dutch East India Company currently has more than 140 armed merchant ships and gunboats, as well as more than 10000 European mercenaries and tens of thousands of indigenous troops who are ready to fight for us!"

"I, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, have summoned 35 heavenly troops. In addition, the Zhou Dynasty has 20 troops who can fight with us. This is an army of 55!"

"The Japanese Tokugawa Shogunate also has more than 20 available troops. A rough calculation shows that our available troops on the East Asian battlefield have exceeded 80, with more than 200 ships of various types, and we have also formed a siege against the Ming Dynasty. It seems that our advantage is quite large!"

"It makes sense, General. What you said makes sense. The first shot in the battle to attack Ming Dynasty should be started by Spain!"

Hearing Zheng Xi, who spoke Dutch with an awkward Fujian accent, suggest that the Spanish Armada fire the first shot, the smile on Admiral Pedro de Zabala's face immediately disappeared: "What?" Should we attack first? Didn’t you say that you want to lure the enemy deeper? If we attack first, how about still luring the enemy in this way? "

Zheng Xi smiled and said: "General, don't worry, luring the enemy deep and defending one city for one country are just fake news sent by the emperor. The battle has not yet started, how can we spread the Qing Dynasty's strategy to defeat the enemy?" Everywhere? The real strategy of our Qing Dynasty is "

He had just finished speaking when someone knocked on the door of Admiral Pedro de Zabala's office, and then an anxious Spanish voice came from outside: "Your Excellency, the Admiral, 60th Barcelona" -class battleship has just returned to port in an emergency. It encountered the Ming Navy's large fleet off the coast of Japan. The enemy has at least [-] large sail battleships! It is heading northeast, sailing along the ocean current! "
