Chapter 1660: Frightened West

Constantinople is located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, adjacent to the Bosporus Strait and the gateway to the Black Sea. It is the hub of transportation between Eurasia and its strategic position is very important.

Legend has it that Constantinople was built by the Greeks in 660 BC, but it did not receive due attention in the Roman Empire. It was not until Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire moved the capital here that it was considered the beginning of Constantinople. Dinburgh's glorious history.

With the split of the Roman Empire into eastern and western parts in AD 395, Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, truly became the political, economic and cultural center of the eastern Mediterranean.

With the crusaders' conquest, the huge influence gradually spread out and crossed wider, and Constantinople has therefore become the most brilliant pearl city that is well-deserved between the Eurasian continent.

Even though the Ottoman Turkish Empire later conquered almost the entire Eastern Roman Empire, Europe never felt threatened by the Ottoman Turkish Empire because Constantinople had not yet fallen.Plane Travel Guide 1660

It wasn't until the fall of Constantinople that the whole of Europe was truly shocked by the Ottoman Empire.

As the core area of ​​the Orthodox Church at that time, the importance of Constantinople cannot be overstated.

At this time, with the collapse of the Holy See, the Orthodox Church has almost completely accepted the huge heritage of the Christian world, and the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church has become the entire pillar of the entire Christian world.

As the largest medieval city in continental Europe, Constantinople dominates the whole of Europe with a population of more than 50 but less than 100 million—but at this stage it seems that it is being caught up by the rapidly developing Paris.

With the rise of the Goddess Cult, France attached great importance to the development of industry and commerce. During the same period, it even began to build artillery under the guidance of Joan of Arc, and established a new type of artillery unit.

This series of policies directly gave birth to the external expansion of Paris, and soon annexed the huge surrounding territories.

The continuous victories of the French army on the European battlefield have also led to an increase in bankrupt families in various countries. Most of them fled to Paris, the capital of France, which led to a sharp increase in the population of Paris, which has now exceeded 30.

Even because there are so many foreigners coming to Paris, Paris looks more like a foreign city—or an international city in medieval Europe.In Paris you can hear any language on the European continent, not even Constantinople.

But now Constantinople has no chance to think about too far away issues. After all, the military front of the Ming Empire has already pointed to the European continent, and everyone is unbelievable when they hear the news from the merchants. Shock.

After all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire almost wiped out the Byzantine Empire not long ago, and now I suddenly heard that a stronger enemy has come, so how can we not make Constantinople feel trembling from top to bottom?

"Say it again? How many people? I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly just now." Maybe he actually heard what the other party said clearly just now, but he just retorted when he felt that it was too difficult to accept.

The answer given on the other side was as objective as ever, but Stanislavas felt the bone-chilling coldness in it: "Yes, Your Excellency. It is said that the Ming Empire dispatched a total of three regiments to attack the Imperial Guards of the Ottoman Empire. attack."

"Three corps? Three corps! Three corps have been dispatched! Well, I want to know how many people are there in a corps of the Ming Empire? Maybe you can repeat the number just now, I admit that I am a little scared."

"According to the businessman's information, the main force of each regiment of the Ming Empire is only 500 people, and even including logistics and auxiliary troops, it will never exceed 700 people-this is well documented."

"Only 700 people? Haha, 700 people? Alfred, don't you think this is ridiculous? Or do you think my head is full of shit to believe such ridiculous intelligence figures?"

"Of course not, Lord Stanislavas. But everything I have said is true, and there is nothing false about it."

Stanislavas was so angry that his face turned pale, and after staring at his subordinates for a long time, he finally suppressed the anger in his chest and asked loudly: "Alfred, do you know the Ottoman Turkish Empire? How many people are there in the most powerful Imperial Guard?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. According to the latest information sent back from the intelligence, it is confirmed that the most elite part of the Turkish Guards directly under the control of the Royal Sultan has about 8 people."

"Very good, then please continue to tell me how the Ming Empire completely wiped out the Ottoman Imperial Guards on the frontal battlefield with less than 2000 troops? I think you should know that even in the face of its own troops More than twice as many Janissaries as the enemy, the Ottoman Empire, also routinely depart cheering triumphantly."

"Yes, Your Excellency. I understand what I'm talking about, and I can take responsibility for everything I say."

"Oh, damn, you are so stubborn, did you see what happened in the newspaper?" Stanislavas's brown hair was almost on fire: "Could it be that you are on the battlefield Did you witness this happen?"

But even in the face of the furious boss Alfred, he still pursed his lips and said calmly: "No, sir, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I am sure that the information is all true. Until now, the Ottoman Turkish Empire The total number of Emperor Ming's army did not exceed 1. As far as I know, it also includes nearly half of the appeasement troops."

"Appeasement troops?"

"Yes, Your Excellency! The Appeasement Force is not a field force. Its main mission is to take charge of local occupation and maintain law and order. As far as I know, they seldom undertake tasks in foreign operations. Compared with the field force of the Ming Empire, they are far behind. big."

Alfred's insistence on his own opinion finally made Stanislavas realize that all the information he was holding was true, and the Ming Empire was definitely an enemy ten thousand times more terrifying than the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

"My God, this is yellow/disaster! The tragedy caused by Genghis Khan in the past may be repeated in the European continent!"

"Yes, Your Excellency. Maybe I should say something more. The empire built by Genghis Khan's descendants in the east was destroyed by the Ming Empire. Their fighting power should far exceed that of the Mongols!"

Stanislavas immediately felt dizzy, and the news was hard to digest.

The Goddess Cult has appeared on the European continent and is leading France to destroy the glory of God, but the second yellow disaster is about to erupt behind the Byzantine Empire!For God's sake, this is horrific.

"Your Excellency, although this may make you feel uncomfortable, I still want to add something. So far, it is said that the Ming Empire has conquered all of Asia. Now the entire eastern land is under the banner of the Ming Empire. "

"Pang bang!"

Stanislavas slammed the precious ceramic jar in his hand on the ground, and it shattered with a "crash": "Get out, get out! Without my order, you are not allowed to reveal even a word to the outside world! "
