Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 458

Holy Roman Empire, Aachen.

Sigismund looked at the nobles of the Habsburg dynasty in front of him. Although the situation he faced at this time was extremely bad, he was still very happy to see one of his enemies in this situation.

It has not been a day or two since the Habsburg dynasty coveted the position under their buttocks. Although it is not said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known, it must not be hidden from Sigismund.

If Sigismund hadn't even been aware of this, it would be impossible for him to sit in the position of Holy Roman Emperor until now.

However, seeing his former enemy fall into this field, Sigismund was very happy, but he couldn't indulge in this refreshing feeling and couldn't extricate himself from it.

Because he knows that the Habsburg dynasty, the former enemy, is now in the same situation as him, and now they need to twist together to fight against their common enemy.

Zhu Zhanhe!
"Now is not the time to be angry, you know, and I can't help it."

Sigismund looked at Leopold and Albert in front of him, and spoke calmly.

"Vienna is your Habsburg territory. Although I am the king of the Kingdom of Hungary, the division of the Principality of Hungary from east to west is caused by you."

"As for how the Ming army knew that the dividing line between the east and the west of Habsburg is Vienna, you should ask yourself, not me."

Hearing what Sigismund said, Leopold and Albert looked at each other, but could not speak.

Yes, the Kingdom of Hungary is not as simple as imagined, but is divided into two factions and three major forces as a whole.

The two factions refer to the Luxembourg dynasty and the Habsburg dynasty. The Hungarian King Sigismund is behind the Luxembourg dynasty, while Leopold and Albert are behind the Habsburg dynasty.

The three major forces are different from the two factions. These three major forces are actually under the two factions. Sigismund's Luxembourg dynasty is still a major force, but the Habsburg dynasty is different.

Leopold and Albert are both Dukes of Hungary and members of the Habsburg dynasty, but they are the remaining two of the three major forces.

That's right, the Habsburg dynasty is not a whole, but each has its own ideas.

The king of the Kingdom of Hungary is Sigismund, but he only controls the northern part of the kingdom. Alsace and other places in the west and south are ruled by the line of Leopold, and the central and eastern regions are ruled by the line of Albert. pulse rule.

Before the arrival of the Ming army, the Habsburg dynasty was not only competing with the Luxembourg dynasty represented by Sigismund, but also Leopold and Albert internally.

Later, it was the accidental death of Frederick III that gave the Habsburg dynasty a sense of crisis, because Frederick III was the only relative of the Habsburg dynasty and Sigismund's successor Albrecht relationship people.

If this line is broken, it means that the Habsburg dynasty cannot get the rule of the Holy Roman Empire without bloodshed as they planned.

For this reason, the Habsburg dynasty achieved short-term integrity and unity, and wanted to act in advance to force Sigismund to abdicate on the grounds of facing the Ming army's repeated defeats and even losing Rome.

They have already bribed three of the seven electors, plus the Habsburg dynasty already has an elector, so they can win the re-election of the Holy Roman Emperor and win the Holy Roman Emperor throne.

However, they did not expect that their home would be stolen as soon as they left the house and before they reached the capital city of Aachen.

Although they were playing it wrong, they wanted to try to make this plan a success. They took away most of the troops, and also asked the important members to remove the support of all countries and forces, thus preserving most of the vital forces.

However, their hometown was stolen, which still cost them a lot.

For example, wives and daughters, or even heirs.

"What now?"

After looking at each other for a long time, although Leopold and Albert did not speak, they seemed to have reached a consensus and spoke at the same time.

"There is only one way." Sigismund laughed when he saw this, he was very satisfied with the result.

"That is to drive out these invaders, but as for how to drive them out, there are many ways."

"After all, although there is only one road, like the Danube, there are countless tributaries besides the main stream, so we can't just focus on the main stream, that is, only fight head-on wars with these invaders, but also start from the tributaries. .”

"After all, without the inflow of tributaries, even the main stream will not be strong enough to flow into the sea."

"Say it straight, what kind of crossword puzzle?" Albert smiled disdainfully.

"I understand what you said, but the question is where is the tributary? How do we find it? After finding it, what method do we need to use to make the river water in the tributary available to us?"

"This is the most important thing. What's the use of talking about the main stream and tributaries? Does it seem that you are very knowledgeable?"

For Sigismund's pretense of allusion, Albert obviously looked down upon it, and directly explained the point of the problem in one sentence.

Everyone knows that the Ming army is powerful, everyone knows that the Ming army has unsolvable firearms, and everyone knows that Europe today is a mess.

How to solve these problems is the most important thing, there is no point in playing tricks.

"Since I said that, I naturally have a preliminary idea." Sigismund smiled confidently and said.

"First of all, before the former Pope was killed, the Holy See had convened some believers in the name of jihad, but it was forced to stop because of the fall of Rome."

"Now, the new pope has confirmed that the plan to call the crusade in the name of jihad can continue."

"In addition, I have also won two powerful allies, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland. Although they are now in a quagmire, I have a way to solve their troubles."

"Oh?" Albert seemed to be fighting with Sigismund, and whenever Sigismund spoke, he would fight.

"As far as I know, the Ming army has dispatched a total of more than [-] troops to encircle and suppress Eastern Europe. So far, the Golden Horde and the Grand Duchy of Mosk have been defeated, and their people have also been massacred by the invaders. "

"Currently, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland have fully returned to defense. The group of invaders has driven the two powerful allies you mentioned back home, and they can't get out even a single step."

"Besides, do you remember why we came to Aachen this time? Isn't it because the fleet of invaders sailed over the head of our Holy Roman Empire and entered the Baltic Sea."

"Now your two powerful allies are surrounded by the tiger and wolf division of the Ming army in the south, and blocked by the huge sea power that wiped out the fleet of the Principality of Venice in the north."

"Is this what you call a strong ally?"

"It seems that Duke Albert has a good understanding of the situation in the Eastern European battlefield." The real situation was exposed, but Sigismund was not flustered and still smiled calmly.

"Yes, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland are indeed in a quagmire, but I have found a solution."

With that said, Sigismund took out a letter and pushed it in front of the Alberts.

"This is……"

Albert was still very disdainful at first, because he always felt that the Ming army's sea power was an unsolvable problem, but after seeing the seal on the letter that Sigismund took out, Albert couldn't help it. Calm down.

As a member of the Habsburg dynasty, he naturally recognized that it was the exclusive seal of the Danish royal family.

"Shouldn't it be..."

"That's right." Sigismund leaned back in his chair with a confident smile on his face.

"Previously, the naval fleet of the Ming Army clashed with the Kingdom of Denmark when it entered the Baltic Sea. After receiving the news, I contacted them."

"In the end, they promised me that they would try their best to stop the Ming army's sea fleet in the Baltic Sea. During this time, we can not only free up our hands, but also think about how to attack from the sea."

"Oh? That's a good thing..." Albert straightened up and turned to look at Leopold next to him.

After seeing Leopold nodding, Albert turned to look at Sigismund.

"So, go all out?"

"Yeah!" Sigismund nodded vigorously.

"Go all out!"

……

As the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, Aachen was not affected by the fall of Vienna and was as prosperous as before, but no one knew what was hidden behind this prosperity.

What kind of impact will the union of the Luxembourg Dynasty and the Habsburg Dynasty have on the Ming Army?Zhu Zhanhe didn't know, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

What about the union of the Luxembourgs and the Habsburgs?The reduction in food production will continue for several years. This kind of thing cannot be solved by a short-term alliance of interests.

Moreover, this is not the only thing that the Luxembourgs and Habsburgs did not count.

……

on the Atlantic.

A mighty fleet is sailing on this vast sea. In this era, only the Daming family can have a fleet of this size.

On the deck of Zheng He's handsome ship surrounded by boats, horse boats and warships, Zheng He was observing the situation at sea with the telescope Zhu Zhanhe gave him.

Behind him are large boxes, barrels, and baskets one after another, filled with various plants.

"Report to Commander Zheng!"

While Zheng He was still staring at Nanfang in a daze, a voice pulled his wandering thoughts back forcibly.

"Say."

"Discover the island in the northeast direction!"

Zheng He cheered up immediately when he heard the words, and opened the binoculars to look northeast.

……

Sigismund still missed the calculation. Not only did he miss the food problem, he also missed the calculation, and he also miscalculated the sea power of the Ming army.

What's more, he miscalculated the ocean currents at sea.

The Atlantic Ocean is a magical and mysterious existence, and the magic and mystery lies in its ocean currents.

Because of the division of the continental plates, the magical Atlantic Ocean has formed two magical ocean currents, one is the ocean current that circulates continuously in southern Africa and South America, and the other is in the northern hemisphere.

One starts from the English Channel, goes south along the Eurasian plate and North Africa, meets the westward north equatorial warm current in the Gulf of Guinea, reaches Central America, and then goes northeast along with the Gulf of Mexico warm current to meet the North Atlantic warm current, while The destination is...

Ireland and the Isle of Great Britain!
