Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 314

William III unfolded the note, his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Oh, God! Vienna... was captured by the Ottoman Empire!"

Newton next to him was also taken aback when he heard the news, "His Royal Highness, isn't this true?"

"Unfortunately, this is true." William III looked frustrated, "On June 6th, the city of Vienna was breached... and then there was a whole day of street fighting. On June 6th, the Ottoman Empire The green holy flag and the nine ponytails of the Sultan have already appeared in the sky above the Hofburg Grand Palace!"

After 22 days of bloody battle, the city of Vienna finally fell into the hands of Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IV!

Because the methods and time taken by Sudan to capture Vienna were far beyond the defender's expectations.

Therefore, the army raised by Leopold I had no time to invest.He has completely lost the war!

William III pondered for a while, and then said: "His Majesty the Emperor and the Pope decided to call the monarchs of all Europe to Cologne for a meeting... The Pope may announce the organization of a crusade to counterattack Vienna!"

Once Vienna is lost, it will be a great shock in the European continent!

After hearing the news, the Pope of Rome and Louis XIV of France also immediately made up their minds and began to organize and implement crusades to recover the lost land.

Soetu asked: "Consul, are you going too?"

William III nodded: "Of course! Although I am not a monarch, I have also been invited."

William III was obviously very interested in this matter - it would give him reason to form a strong army.

And now he has cracked the secret of the Flying Ball, which will win him great international fame.

William III looked back at Soetu, "Mr. Ambassador, can you take a trip to Cologne with me?"

Suo'etu nodded and said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry...

Let's think about it first, I think this Ottoman Sultan must have the support of the Ming Dynasty!Otherwise, he would not be able to fly into the sky, nor would he be able to have so many sugar medicine weapons.

If you are to defeat him and retake Vienna, you will need a reliable supply of sugar.

As long as Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia can successfully capture Tianzhu, then everything will be fine.Our Great Mongolia will provide a sufficient amount of sugar to the civilized countries in Europe! "

"That's great..." William III looked at Suo'etu gratefully, "I'm very happy to see that the Mongolian Kingdom can stand on the right side of history at this critical moment!"

Chapter 741 Excuse me, what is wrong with India?

7 month 1 day.

In a small chapel of the magnificent Cologne Cathedral, the largest unfinished building in Europe, a meeting is being held to decide the future of Europe and India.

"Dear gentlemen, first of all, I would like to report a piece of exciting news to everyone. We have solved the problem of flying celestial spheres. Just three days ago, Professor Newton and Professor Ji Dabao from the University of Cambridge in England and Solskjaer from Great Mongolia Ambassador Etu and their assistants jointly made a flying ball that can send people into the sky! And, we have sent a brave Catholic priest to the sky with a flying ball. After he prayed to God, Returned to the ground safely!"

"Crash..."

There was thunderous applause in the chapel as Pope Innocent XI announced the good news about a major breakthrough in Europe's "aerospace".But flying Apsaras wasn't the only problem facing the Catholic Church and the monarchs of Western Europe...they also needed sugar, and a lot of it!

According to the report of Earl Stallenberg who broke out from the city of Vienna, the Ottoman army has a large number of sweet powder weapons, including rockets, flower bombs, grenades and a sweet powder bomb that can blast the stone walls of Vienna!

In addition, when the Ottoman army finally broke into the city of Vienna for street fighting, they also used a large number of powerful kerosene bombs-this kind of kerosene bomb looks very simple, that is, pour kerosene into glass bottles Then plug the mouth with cotton cloth, and then throw it out on fire.But this kind of kerosene bomb uses high-grade kerosene dug out from where?It can actually stick to the human body or buildings and burn!If it is combined with a berserker who has been brainwashed by religion, it will be so powerful that it will make people tremble.

When fighting in the streets of Vienna, the Ottomans usually used small-caliber mortars to fire some smoke bombs, and then sent brave berserkers to throw kerosene bombs!Wherever it was hit, it was burned...so much so that the defenders in Vienna doubted God!

There is no way for Western Europeans to deal with the kerosene problem. Western Europe does not produce kerosene!Moreover, it is not convenient to transport this thing, and if it is not done well, it will burn itself.But the sugar problem must be solved!

Because the sweet gunpowder prepared by the Ottomans from the military white sugar provided by Ming Dynasty is at least twice as powerful as the sweet gunpowder prepared by the Europeans from American brown sugar!

"Your Majesty," as soon as the applause ended, James, Duke of York, the representative of the King of England, stood up and spoke. "On behalf of the Kingdom of England, I suggest that Western European countries immediately organize a crusade to launch an Eastern Expedition!"

Upon hearing this, Pope Innocent XI immediately crossed himself on his chest, and said gratefully to the Duke of York: "May God bless you and England...you are the most devout Christians! I promise , the souls of all Englishmen who participated in the Crusades can go to heaven after death!"

Sitting next to the Pope, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I also said to the Duke of York, "Duke, you Englishmen are really the best friends of our Germans!"

The Consul of the Federal Republic of the Netherlands, William III, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty the Pope, Your Majesty the Emperor, the Great Council of the Netherlands passed a resolution yesterday agreeing to fund [-] crusaders for an expedition!"

"Thank God!" The Pope was so excited that he was about to cry.

The King of England and the Duke of York are still devout Catholics, while the members of the Great Council of the Netherlands are a group of profiteers who don't believe in God and are covered in money!They are misers who are not even willing to spend money to protect their own country, and now they are willing to pay to recruit and arm [-] crusaders.

The Pope was so moved that he was a little ashamed... He cursed these profiteers in the Netherlands in the past!

The king of Sweden, the young Karl XI, also stood up and said: "Sweden will also send its army and navy to join this crusade!"

Now Sweden is a military power!

The Pope excitedly crossed his chest again, "This is great!" He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, now that England, the Netherlands and Sweden have all decided to send troops to join the Crusade, I think we are very happy." We will soon be able to counterattack Vienna!"

"and many more!"

The Holy Roman Emperor hadn't spoken yet, but Karl XI rushed to speak: "Why is it a counterattack against Vienna? Isn't it an expedition to India?"

The Pope was taken aback, "Expedition to India?"

Both the Duke of York and William III nodded.

"But what is wrong with India?" asked the pope.

"India supplied the Ottoman Empire with large quantities of brown sugar," said William III, "which was also used to make sweet gunpowder!"

This is true. Before the Chinese invented white sugar, Europeans had to choose between honey and Indian brown sugar if they wanted something sweet. Of course, the Ottoman Empire was also a big customer of Indian sugar.

The Pope said: "But the military white sugar used by the Ottoman Empire was provided by China, and the formula of sweet gunpowder, the samples of rockets and rockets were all provided by China...Why don't we go to China for an expedition?"

"Expedition to China?" William III looked at the Pope in surprise, "Your Majesty, you are truly courageous!"

The Duke of York frowned and looked at the Pope: "Papa (meaning Dad), in fact, the Indians have not yet mastered sweet gunpowder, and the Chinese..."

"That is to say," said the Pope, "we attack the Indians because they sell sweets to the Ottomans, while turning a blind eye to China, which exports murderous weapons to the Ottomans?"

The Holy Roman Emperor said: "We can at least block the foreign trade of the Chinese, so that they cannot export weapons to the Ottoman Empire!"

The pope immediately looked at William III and the Duke of York.

"Actually we can't do that..." The Duke of York shook his head.

"Yes, we can't do that, because we can't do it at all!" William III said, "At present, we can only inspect Chinese merchant ships trying to enter the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca to ensure that there are no goods that violate the ban. In the Strait of Malacca Edong...they can move freely! And in the coastal waters of China and Japan, our ships must obey the Ming Emperor's decree."

"We can at least stop trade!" The elderly Pope was a little annoyed, "We don't need their silk, porcelain, sugar, tea, perfume, lacquerware, cotton cloth... Without these, we can still live very well! But without our gold and silver, they would be poor!"

"Actually not..." William III smiled wryly, "Because it can still be robbed!"

"What? They still dare to rob?" The Pope was stunned. Chinese people would "rob"?Isn't that only the Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, German, Dutch, etc. Europeans who believe in God?

William III said: "After they conquered Japan, they have obtained the springboard to the New World... If we cut off their trade routes for gold and silver, then we have to fight to defend the New World! And we are not in The power of Europe and the New World to wage a large-scale war with two great empires at the same time."

The Duke of York said: "That's right, so we can only attack India...that's completely feasible. If we can cut off the Ottoman Empire's route to obtain Indian brown sugar, it will be very beneficial to the counterattack on the frontal battlefield!"

This is simply a crooked reasoning, but the Pope has nothing to do with England and the Netherlands, two countries that don't believe in God and only recognize money. He had to ask King Louis XIV of France for help.

"Your Majesty Louis, where do you think our Crusaders should attack? India, or Vienna?"

Wearing high heels and exuding the smell of Daming perfume, King Louis XIV of France just glanced at the Holy Roman Emperor...then said lightly: "Your Majesty, we don't have the power to counterattack Vienna at the moment! We can hold the rest of Austria and defend the Czech Republic." , is already the limit of our ability. And India's sugar... will provide enough firepower for our army. Therefore, I support the attack on India, and France will also send [-] soldiers to join the Crusaders!"

Chapter 742 For the sake of justice and justice, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces March!

Originally on the European continent, the Bourbon dynasty and the Habsburg dynasty stood side by side, but now the German branch of Haburg has a runaway emperor, and the Spanish branch of Haburg has a fool king.Harburg is almost abolished, so Louis XIV, the Sun King of the Bourbon dynasty, became the leader of the European "layman" of course. He said that he wanted to print now, so he had to print!

The Pope had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay...then the first goal of the Crusaders is to support the evil country of the Ottoman Empire, India!" He paused and looked at the group of people below. The monarch who is eager to try, "Who is willing to join the crusade to attack India? How many troops do you plan to dispatch? I want to confirm again... so that I can apply to God for a place in heaven after death."

"The Federal Republic of the Netherlands is preparing to dispatch [-] troops and [-] armed merchant ships. In addition, our East India Company has recruited [-] mercenaries in Batavia and Ceylon."

In fact, before the fall of Vienna, the Federal Republic of the Netherlands led by William III had already begun to invest heavily in the "printing business".But at that time, there was no righteous name for the Crusaders, so it was a bit difficult to recruit 5000 mercenaries on the European continent to participate in the expedition.Therefore, at that time, William III just wanted to send a small number of officers to support the East India Company, and then recruited mercenaries in the colonies controlled by the East India Company, such as Ceylon, Malacca, and Batavia. Spend.

But now, with the status of the Crusades, European countries will definitely join this expedition out of axiom, justice and love for God.In this way, if William III wanted to fight for more benefits for the Netherlands, he had to add more troops.

"England has also dispatched [-] troops and [-] armed merchant ships," said James, Duke of York. "Our East India Company has deployed [-] mercenaries and a powerful fleet in Madras!"

England, like the Netherlands, has already joined the "printing business".However, they are also like the profiteers in the Netherlands. They didn't make a big bet, but wanted to empty their hands.So before they only sent 400 troops and [-] warships to Madras in India, plus the [-] people who had been deployed in Madras earlier.The British had only [-] troops and [-] warships with which to conquer Bengal.

In addition, the East India Company also bought Arakan, a maritime power between Myanmar and India, and planned to borrow tens of thousands of elite soldiers from them to fight Chittagong... But I don’t know when the "printing business" begins, who will rule Arakan Will people become Wu Guogui?

"France sent five thousand troops, plus thirty warships and armed merchant ships," Louis XIV continued, "Our East India Company will also send troops from the local administration of the Indian colonies."

Portugal's regent Pedro said: "Portugal has prepared [-] mercenaries in Goa!"

The four countries of Holland, Britain, France, and Portugal have long decided to send troops to print. This time, they just made a big bet and added a crusader status.

"Sweden will dispatch [-] troops and ten warships." King Karl XI of Sweden said, "Although our troops are not many, I guarantee that every Swedish soldier will be the best fighter!"

The Pope of Rome nodded, and then asked the Holy Roman Emperor, the King of Poland and the Spanish Prime Minister present: "Your Majesty, King Jan III, Chief Minister, do you want to participate in the Crusade expedition to India?"

"Of course the Germans want to participate in the Crusades, but we have no time to participate in the war to punish India." Leopold I said worriedly, "We must defend our homeland...we can only rely on ourselves!"

The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has already cursed William III, the Duke of York, Karl XI, Prince Pedro, and the Sun King Louis XIV in his heart.

These five guys are really shameless... They said they would join the Crusade to defend Germany, but they went to India hand in hand to grab money!

"Your Majesty, the Polish people will always stand with the German people!" Of course Jan Besowski supported Germany, but he didn't know about the "three partitions of Poland".

And he doesn't have a navy to use for expeditions. In addition, once the Ottoman Empire completely annexes Austria, the Czech Republic, and the northern part of Hungary belonging to the Harburg family, then Dabobo himself will face the enemy!

"Spain will always stand with the German people!" Spain's chief minister, Duke Alfonso, also expressed his loyalty to the emperor without hesitation... ignoring the cold eyes of Louis XIV.

It is also the Habsburg dynasty that rules Spain now, but there is only one fool and only child, Carlos II, who can't give birth to a son.Originally, the throne of Carlos II was unlikely to fall into the hands of Leopold I or his son... After all, the combination of the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire is really terrible!

But now, because Leopold I lost Austria, his only son Joseph may be unlikely to be elected emperor again.That way he would inherit the Spanish throne... so the Spanish Prime Minister must now support the German Habsburgs.

In addition, Spain's American colonies and Philippine colonies are being threatened by the Ming Empire, and there is no time to print.

Seeing that there are still people who really love God, the Pope of Rome nodded in relief, and looked at the other monarchs in the chapel—these are all low-profile little monarchs, and they were recruited to join the printing business to avoid scoring Money is not balanced.

"That's how it is, from England, Holland, France, Switzerland, Portugal..."

"Wait, our Raksha country is going to send troops!" Golitsyn, the ambassador of the Raksha country to the Netherlands, England, and France, suddenly stood up, "Our Raksha country also wants to join the Crusade!"

"Rakshasa? Are you kidding me?" said the Polish King Jan Bezoski. "What qualifications do you white-skinned Mongols have to join the Crusades?"

King Karl XI of Sweden also smiled and said: "Yes, this is the cause of our Europeans, you barbaric Mongols..."

"Cough cough!"

Karl XI's words were rudely interrupted. He turned his head and saw an oriental man in a strange robe and a big hat decorated with red cloth strips and red beads shaking his head. Shou stood up.

"Who is this impudent Oriental?" asked Karl XI.

"I am a barbaric Mongol!"

Of course this person is Suo'etu!Now that he can speak Latin fluently, he shouted loudly: "I am the ambassador of Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia!"

People of Kangxi Khan!

The main force in this printing battle is Kangxi Khan!

His family sent 20 troops!These countries in Europe are stuttering and wondering if they can make up 3 people?

Without Kangxi Khan, it is hard to say whether they can defeat Aurangzeb.

Suo'etu said: "Grand Duke Peter of the Raksha Kingdom has led an army of [-] into Afghanistan with the Great Khan...Who of you are not convinced? If you are not convinced, don't send troops to India!"

It’s okay if you don’t accept it... If you don’t accept it, you won’t get the money!

The annoyance in Karl XI's heart, those white-skinned Mongols now have a backstage-the Great Mongolia has risen again!

Pope Innocent XI was a little embarrassed seeing the scene, so he quickly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Since Grand Duke Peter of Rakshasa has invaded India... Of course Rakshasa can participate in the Crusades! I declare now that for Righteousness and justice, the armies of our eight countries will form a coalition to fight against the enemy of God and the Great Khan - the evil India!"

"Your Majesty the Pope," French King Louis XIV reminded the somewhat confused Pope at this time, "there are no eight countries, only seven countries, France, England, Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Rakshasa and Great Mongolia, a total of seven countries. country."

The Pope smiled and said to the King of France: "There is also the territory of the Catholic Church in Italy! How could the Crusades be without the participation of the Catholic Church?"

Chapter 743 Galdan, don't worry, I will ask Zhou Peigong to assist you!

"Khan, you have to make the decision for me! The surname Zhu took advantage of my absence in Guihua City to win over me, mine, mine..."

In a hall full of Tianfang religion style in the splendid and magnificent Grand Palace in Samarkand, I heard the Vice-Khan Ge Erdan of the Great Mongolia State stammering and saying "mine, mine" endlessly.Kangxi Khan was leaning on the slum with a bit of sluggishness, his body was crooked, and his face was filled with a look of lovelessness.Sitting next to him was Queen Sofia with a big belly, and she was a little impatient, so she asked loudly, "Ge Erdan, if you have something to say, hurry up! My what?"

Ge Erdan's heart is bitter!

Can he say that Zhu and Qi have won over his Ke Dun?Isn't this a joke?His Ketun has been wooed by others, so what should he do as the Deputy Khan of Great Mongolia?Return to Huacheng as soon as possible and lie down!

And what method did Zhu Heqi use to win over his Ke Dun?Do you want to study it carefully?

Thinking of this, Ge Erdan gritted his teeth and said: "He recruited my nephew Tservan Allah Butan... Tservan Allah Butan and his two brothers brought the Sauron cavalry from the Ming Kingdom, Baal When the tiger cavalry arrived in Guihua City, they detained my eldest son, Sebuten Baljur, and also controlled the [-] households I left in Guihua City. It is really hateful! My eldest daughter Zhong Qihai of Ketun Anu He and his third son, Celing, were also detained by Zhu in the Shunyi Palace in Beijing."

He didn't dare to tell Kangxi Khan and Queen Sofia that his third son was called "Zhu Celing"...how could his son be called "Zhu Celing"?This sounds like something tricky!

Could this Anu be having an affair with Zhu and Chi?

The more Ge Erdan thought about it, the angrier he became!There was already a murderous look on his face.

"What else did Zhu and Qi do?" Queen Sofia looked at Ge Erdan's intention to kill someone, and felt that something was wrong, "He killed your wife and children?"
