These Zhang Xianzhong is making waves in North America. Generally speaking, the tossing is pretty good.
According to reports from personnel sent to inspect the situation in North America, Zhang Xianzhong has occupied the entire Alaska and the west coast of Canada.
In addition, it also includes the four states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon, as well as northwest Wyoming and northern California.
This is only because Zhang Xianzhong's troops only have less than 200,000 people. If he were given 500,000 people, he would probably be able to defeat the entire west coast of North America.
Perhaps the supporting role of Spain is too useless. Facing Zhang Xianzhong who was beaten by Hong Chengchou, a certain new emperor's henchman, he was beaten so hard that he was unable to fight back.
They reluctantly fought back a few times, and then suffered a more violent blow. Every ten times the two sides faced each other, the Spaniards lost five or six of them, and the rest were mostly draws.
After being taught by the Ming Dynasty King's Division, Zhang Jun came to North America and felt like a king in the mountains without tigers and monkeys. He was especially good at non-mainstream tactics such as mountain warfare, ambush warfare, guerrilla warfare, night raids, and robbery of food roads.
In organic positional warfare, the Spaniards who are good at square formations may not be able to lose, but other types of tactics are completely no match for Zhang Jun.
Zhang Xianzhong used part of the captured Spanish people to exchange for his own captured personnel, and the rest was used to exchange for silver coins.
It’s not like the Spaniards had never fooled Zhang Xianzhong with fake silver coins. They only used them once and were severely punished.
Especially after seeing the prisoner turned into a human pig, he exclaimed that he was a devil!
I also wanted to treat Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers who were detained in the cell in this way, but considering that there were too many prisoners on our side, I had to let it go.
After that, they honestly exchanged prisoners of war with Zhang Xianzhong, but this was far from satisfying Zhang Xianzhong's appetite.
Almost every month, Zhang Jun would dispatch at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops to attack Spanish territory.
The number of Han people in Zhang Jun's army was not large, but he had won over many Indian tribes.
As long as they are willing to fight the Spanish and gain something, Zhang Xianzhong will give them good items brought from the mainland.
The Indian chiefs were very interested in the new oil lamps, stationery, and various firearms produced in the Ming Dynasty, and were willing to cooperate with Zhang Xianzhong on the premise of retaining their own territory.
Zhang Xianzhong had no interest in the territory of the Indian tribes, and he established a written agreement and swore in public that he would never send troops to occupy the lands of these local partners, which reassured the other party.
The Han people have no interest in herding at all. They are better at farming and fishing, and they can obtain a lot of materials from the local area, so they are highly complementary to the Indian tribes.
The cooperation between the two parties was mutually beneficial, and the Spanish did not have any kindness towards the Indian tribes.
So after the two sides had common enemies, they joined hands. This move directly more than doubled the number of troops Zhang Jun could dispatch.
Zhang Xianzhong was responsible for providing various firearms and supplies, while the Indians provided warriors, war horses, and beef.
After the Spanish territory was conquered, any place that was not suitable for farming or building a city could be assigned to each tribe for grazing.
After several cooperations, Zhang Xianzhong found the weakness of the Indian chiefs, which was land and materials!
As long as they have the latter and obtain the former through war, the chiefs of each tribe will be very obedient to them.
After Zhang Xianzhong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, a concubine gave birth to a son for him.
Zhang Xianzhong, who had been waiting for many years without success, couldn't help but be overjoyed and named his son Zhang Tianbao, which means a god-given treasure!
After a hundred years, he will pass the throne to his son, so that he can continue his family's incense and the Kingdom of the Dadong Empire.
For this young son, Zhang Xianzhong, who came to have a son at an old age, naturally takes great care of him.
He also warned in public that anyone who dared to kill the prince would be punished and everyone involved would be buried with the prince!
Zhang Xianzhong believes that he still has at least twenty years of good life.
When he died, his son was already in his twenties. As long as he was not a fool, he could inherit the throne, and none of his generals would dare to disobey him.
Zhang Xianzhong also had ideas on how to restrain his generals who had great achievements.
You must first swear to yourself that you will not rebel in this life, otherwise other loyal and good people will join forces to attack.
The second step is to establish a guard only under his own control, with a strength of ten thousand people, all of whom are elite cavalry.
Finally, the capital city in Vancouver was expanded. Even if other lands fell, as long as they held on to the capital city, they would receive support from the mainland.
How could he have the face to pray for the protection of the Ming Emperor when he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor?
How should I identify myself in the letter? How to call the Ming Emperor?
Zhang Xianzhong had already thought about it, so the "Big Emperor" and "Little Emperor" were born...
Since Shi called himself the son emperor, Zhang Xianzhong called himself the "little emperor"!
The Ming Emperor Zhu Cixi was called "Great Emperor" or "Great Emperor" for short!
As for Chongzhen...
If you don’t write to him, you don’t have to worry about the title!
In terms of name, he was intended to be on an equal footing with Zhu Cixiang, but the strength comparison between the two sides was too disparate.
Zhang Xianzhong knew this very well, so he showed great respect to Emperor Haojing between the lines.
Every handwritten letter sent to the Ming Dynasty was basically flattery, plus requested material supplies.
Of course, the words were empty, and Zhang Xianzhong also knew that the "Great Emperor" was not the fool that Emperor Hui of Jin was.
He sent himself and his men to North America just to deal with the Spanish.
Therefore, at least 10,000 pieces of fine buffalo skins, plus the skins of jaguars, wild wolves, and brown bears were paid as tribute every year.
The number of prisoners to be sacrificed depends on the specific situation. In short, it must be ensured that Emperor Haojing has both dignity and face.
Only by coaxing the great emperor to make him happy can he get more feedback...
Little emperor?
James?
The talent in this area really has a bit of James' style!
In his reply, a certain new emperor continued to support the young emperor Zhang Xianzhong's messing around in North America.
And the bigger the noise, the better. It would be best to take down the entire California.
A certain new emperor also specially told the little emperor that California's pleasant climate is particularly suitable for party activities...
As for what "laying down" means, a certain new emperor naturally explained it in his letter. He was not afraid that Zhang Xianzhong would have nothing.
Unless this guy gets older and is no longer interested in beautiful women due to the decline of his body's functions.
Zhang Xianzhong also hoped that a new imperial Ming fleet would arrive on the west coast of North America and sweep away the Spanish warships along the coast from north to south.
For Zhang Jun, this was indeed a potential threat. With these armed sailing ships, the Spaniards could move around the entire west coast as they pleased and land somewhere.
The capital city of Vancouver was suddenly attacked by a landing force carried by a Spanish warship. For this reason, Zhang Xianzhong's troops paid a lot of casualties before they won the victory.
It looks like it's time to launch a burning expedition!
In view of the fact that the two fleets currently under the jurisdiction of Beiting did not have any combat missions, a certain new emperor ordered the commander of the Denglai fleet, Jie Xuan, to lead two Yoshino, two Laiyuan, ten Zhiyuan, fifty wooden warships, and one Hundreds of ocean-going merchant ships.
Carrying three thousand marines and a large amount of supplies, together with Zheng Zhipeng's eldest son Zheng Guangying, who led the fleet, he expedition to North America along the established route, with the goal of sweeping the west coast.
As long as it is a boat that can go into the sea and is larger than a fishing boat, it will be captured, burned, or sunk. Anything smaller than a fishing boat will be collected for free!
Since there is no need to enter the inland to fight, and only a dozen or so beach landing operations are required, the expedition fleet does not need to carry too much material and equipment.
The main thing is to have weapons, ammunition and all kinds of medicines in stock. The fleet also carries six airships in case of emergencies.
The time limit for this expedition is relatively loose, as long as it returns to the homeland within three years, there is no need to return within the year.
It is also possible to set sail in April. As long as you pass through Alaskan waters and enter the northern coast of Canada before August, it will be considered safe.
"For my emperor! For the Ming Dynasty! Master Wang will never be defeated in a hundred battles!"
This is the nominal campaign slogan, and it’s basically the same every time!
"For the sunshine! For the beach! For the pony party! Brothers, go for it!"
This is essentially an expedition slogan, and it’s even more tempting!
Without riding the Ocean Horse, how could the sailors have the motivation to go on an expedition?
New recruits who have never played it don’t think much of it, while veterans who have played it naturally think about it once they play it.
The combat effectiveness of the entire fleet, of course, relies on veterans with rich actual combat experience.
Jiexuan believed that as long as the veterans of the fleet did not suffer heavy casualties, even if they stayed in North America for ten years, their troops would still be able to maintain a certain combat effectiveness.
Three thousand marines are certainly not many, but with proper tactical movement, they can cause great trouble to the Spanish defenders.
When we got there, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were naturally the main force in the land battle.
Without the threat of Spanish warships along the coast, it would be unreasonable for them to be unable to defeat the Spanish army.
How can we ask for supplies from the imperial court in the future?
Even for the sake of face, Zhang Xianzhong would send troops to fight the Spanish to the end.
A certain new emperor also told Jiexuan in his letter that if the war went unfavorably, he could retreat to Canada first.
After that, they will stand firm and wait for reinforcements. After receiving the letter, the imperial court will send more troops to North America and will not let them become a lonely army.
A certain new emperor is not interested in occupying North America at a huge expense, but he is very interested in stirring up North America and turning it into a pot of mud!
After Zhang Xianzhong captures California, he will be rewarded because the gold mines there can be mined on a large scale.
Regarding the information about the gold mine, a certain new emperor asked Jiexuan to bring it to the little emperor...
With gold, there will be an endless supply of supplies and weapons and equipment.
The little emperor can use this as an opportunity to dominate the west coast.
A certain new emperor was also happy to see such a scene. Even if Zhang Xianzhong got what he wanted, without his own support, his empire might collapse at any time.
Zhang Xianzhong is just the head of this empire, and a certain new emperor is the soul of this empire.
Without a certain new emperor, the Dadong Empire established by the little emperor was nothing more than a walking corpse.
In order to fight positional warfare, a certain new emperor also asked Jiexuan to bring twenty steam tanks to the young emperor.
After getting assembled there, and adding an airship that can drop bombs, Zhang Jun can push the Spanish phalanx flatly.
In addition, there are fifty small guns, one hundred mortars, three hundred revolvers, three thousand flintlocks, fifty thousand hand grenades and other supporting ammunition and one thousand barrels of oil.
Supporting the little emperor is as enjoyable as playing a real-time strategy game. The only drawback is that the reaction time is too long, at least a year...
Age of Empires?
The Spanish Empire is about to become a thing of the past!
The Ming Empire is not only ongoing now, but will be ongoing forever!
Before the expedition fleet set sail, each expedition personnel received a fee of varying amounts.
The family members of the lowest-ranking merchant sailors also received two hundred taels of silver, which was considered two years' settlement allowance.
If the expedition is extended there, the military families will receive subsequent silver subsidies.
The pension will not be less, but no one wants to get this money...
Whether the Spaniards know it or not, this fleet will definitely appear on the west coast of North America in five months.
Whether the other party fights, flees, or surrenders, it's up to you!
Warships on expedition are painted with orange paint above the waterline for easy identification and to avoid accidental damage.
Now all warships are equipped with "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles. Without seeing the identity of the target, they "quietly" fired one at their own warships...
This is the first-generation "Big Orange Fleet" of a certain new emperor. Although its mission is not to sail around the world, its importance is not trivial.
Spanish livestock slaughtered a large number of Ming people in Luzon, and the hegemonic fleet also invaded the Jiangnan region. Of course, this revenge must be avenged.
A certain new emperor has authorized Jiexuan to use any tactics during the expedition, including indiscriminate attacks.
If some soldiers could make a Spanish woman's belly grow bigger, they could bring her to the Dadong Empire or even the Ming Dynasty.
Regarding Ocean Horses, a certain new emperor believed that the more the better, and he had previously purchased many white-skinned female slaves from the Black Sea coast from the Ottomans...
After the Mongu conquered the Slavs, they enjoyed the service of white-skinned female slaves for many years.
Now that the Menggu people have become the defeated generals of the Ming Dynasty, then fair-skinned female slaves everywhere should serve the Ming Dynasty soldiers!
This is the era of winner takes all and winner takes all. As the number one winner in the world, Master Wang naturally has the right to enjoy the best service!
If anyone dares to disobey, a certain new emperor will use airships, steam tanks, and armored ships to beat them until they kneel down and call them daddy, grandpa, and ancestor!
To deal with barbarians, barbaric methods must be used, and general education is meaningless.
If they can really memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, they can indeed avoid being beaten!
The ship also carries many military doctors on board, with the purpose of preventing problems before they occur.
Once certain infectious diseases break out in the fleet, it will be completely cool...
A certain new emperor believed that Jiexuan, who was clean and self-sufficient, would not fall into the trap, but it was hard to say for those guys under him who had been hungry for more than half a year.
For a well-fed man, some of the behaviors of a hungry man are excusable.
A certain new emperor also prepared "a cafeteria" for him, just don't get "food poisoning" when the time comes.
If they leave things alone after this is done, I believe those mixed-race babies will definitely make their grandfathers or fathers-to-be angry to death...
I hope the local Spanish defenders can hold on a little longer, otherwise their women will ruthlessly abandon them.
