After the World Summit in 1700, the military strength of the Holy Roman Empire, Polly, Brandenburg-Prussia, Venice, and even Switzerland all improved to a certain extent because they received a batch of aid from the Ming Empire.
Zhu Cixi also provided loans of 10 million silver coins to the Holy Roman Empire, Poland, and Brandenburg-Prussia, with an annual interest rate of 5% for ten years.
I believe that after ten years, the braid matter will be almost settled, and everyone can pay back the money together, otherwise the next European War will begin...
By giving these countries weapons and silver coins, Zhu Cixiang's meaning was very simple, that is, let them fight with braids as hard as possible. The more intense the fight, the better.
Including the loan of 150 million silver coins to Louis XIV, it was equivalent to spending only 200 million silver coins in cash and weapons, turning the heart of Europe, which was the greatest threat to the Ming Empire, into a pot of porridge.
Zhu Cihong's Ming Dynasty Master wanted to watch the excitement for a while longer. The longer the Ming Dynasty Master watched the excitement, the more obvious the Ming Dynasty Master's advantages over all parties became.
At the same time, Zhu Cixi could calmly send troops from the mainland to the frontline area west of the Ural Mountains through the northern railway.
While adapting to the local climate and environment, continue to watch the excitement. When the time is right, you can go down the mountain to pick your braids...
At the summit, Zhu Cihong told a group of participating heads of state that the Ming army would join the war as early as 1705.
Of course, this is an approximate time, and the specific time will depend on the specific situation at that time!
This is just teasing everyone, but no one dares or has the ability to force the Ming Empire to intervene in this war.
It is estimated that by 1705, based on the current reinforcement level, Zhang Huangyan can obtain 12 armored brigades, 5 mechanized infantry brigades, and 12 cavalry brigades on the ground from the mainland.
The heavy equipment includes nearly 5,000 fourth-generation fuel tanks, more than 5,000 infantry fighting vehicles, about 200 breech-loading heavy guns, and 500 "Scud" tactical missiles.
There are also 3,000 "Albatross" fighter jets from the Air Force and the Air Force, 500 "Hercules" bombers, 500 "Black Hawk" armed helicopters, and 200 "Blackfoot Albatross" fighter/attack aircraft.
The production of so much army and air force weapons and equipment, coupled with the implementation of a shipbuilding plan every seven years, almost exhausted the Ming Dynasty's treasury.
In private, some people already feel that Emperor Hao Jing, who is already in his seventies, is fatuous and incompetent, has embarked on a path of no return through militarism, and is quickly getting closer to Hu Hai, Fu Jian, Yang Guang and others...
But no one who is qualified to go to court, especially the minister of military aircraft, would think so. The reason is very simple. This batch of weapons is not a one-time use.
According to a certain principle, if the generals command properly and the soldiers are well-trained, the higher the technical content and the greater the number of weapons, the smaller the losses in war will be.
What does this mean for Jizi? ? ?
If you don’t understand, just go play with women!
Emperor Haojing had already found a home for these weapons and sold them in batches on a large scale after the war.
In the case of reimbursement from the next party, it is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty King Master using such advanced weapons to hang pigtails without spending any money.
Some people have also written off the 10,000-ton ironclad ships. Due to their long technological lead, the service life of these main fleets will be nearly a hundred years.
Even if you buy an armored ship that has been in service for thirty years, it can still be used for sixty or seventy years if it is properly maintained!
Through years of continuous wars, the Ming Empire achieved its small goal of becoming stronger and stronger as it fought, a feat that had never happened before in its history.
As for how these friends in Europe survived the five years from 1700 to 1705 under the constant attack of braids...
Zhu Cixiang thinks it's very simple. If you can't get your braids done, you can go all the way west to France to avoid the limelight!
It can not only help Louis XIV establish the prestige of the European emperor in Europe, but also weaken the strength of Central European countries to a certain extent. Isn't it a plan that kills two birds with one stone?
If you can't outrun the pigtails, then you can surrender temporarily!
After a few years, either the French army or the Ming army will come to rescue everyone...
However, Emperor Haojing believed that the persevering Germans could show the advantages of their predecessors, the Germanic tribes. They could not fight on horseback, but they could attack on foot, but they could not retreat!
Back then, they used this trick to attack the Roman Empire. They came up and attacked first.
If the opponent cannot withstand one's own three big hammers, then success will be achieved.
Instead, run into the dark forest and hide!
It looks simple and primitive, full of elements of mindless and barbaric violence.
However……
In the end, the tribe actually defeated the Roman Empire!
Therefore, Zhu Cixiang believes that the fortress-style towns and large forests are a good defensive barrier for the Germans, and there is no need to fight in the field with the opponent.
The tactics adopted by Marshal Turenne are very wise and highly targeted. The combination of a large number of fighters and cavalry can restrain and even counter-kill the braided cavalry group.
This also gave Zhu Cixiang some inspiration, indicating that the direction he and Zhang Huangyan had envisioned was correct, but the Ming Dynasty's assault capability would be stronger and sharper than that of the Allies!
For five years, I fished by the river and hunted in the forest every day, so life naturally passed very slowly.
If there is a big ocean horse to accompany you, then...
In early April 1706, a shepherd in the northern border area of the Qing Dynasty was sitting on a stone and looking at his dozens of sheep.
Suddenly, an unusual whistling sound came from the distant sky, and soon a large number of dark flying evil objects appeared.
The shepherd was so surprised that he stood there with his eyes wide open and his mouth so wide that he didn't even notice that a fly had entered.
Hundreds of armored chariots drove over from the other side of the border, filled with smart soldiers.
Fortunately, the opponent's target was not him or the sheep around him.
Dozens of sheep were as frightened as their owners.
Except for rivers, the northern border area of the Qing Dynasty was basically undefensible.
Emperor Baocheng only stationed tens of thousands of people close to the border, and the main force was deployed in the hinterland.
The purpose of this was to prevent the Qing army from suffering huge losses in the initial stage once the Ming and Qing wars started again.
In order to ensure victory, Zhang Huangyan bet more than half of his capital this time.
Participating in the assault were nine armored brigades, six mechanized brigades, and nine cavalry brigades, followed by twelve infantry brigades.
Zhang Huangyan also has five armored brigades, one mechanized infantry brigade, five cavalry brigades, and six infantry brigades as reserves to prevent the other party from engaging in confrontational tactics with him.
The air force cooperating with the ground forces includes about 2,200 "Albatross" fighter jets, more than 300 "Hercules" bombers, more than 100 "Blackfoot Albatross" attack aircraft and nearly 100 "Black Hawk" armed helicopters.
In view of the increasing number of Ming troops in the area west of the Ural Mountains, the annual personnel expenses and weapons maintenance-related costs are a large amount of money.
In order to save military expenses for stationing high-ranking officials in the area, and to solve the impending expiration problem of the large amount of ammunition stored locally.
Emperor Haojing had to order Zhang Huangyan to implement "Operation Barber", with the goal of wiping out the so-called "Qing Dynasty". The operation lasted nine to twelve months.
April to June is the dry season in the war zone, which is conducive to large-scale river crossings by the armored units of the Ming Dynasty King Division.
"Damn it! The barbarian is coming!"
"What should I do?"
"Barbarians are all armored chariots!"
"Huh? Is this okay?"
"The wind is so tight!"
At first, some Qing troops in the border areas wanted to resist stubbornly, but after seeing the situation on the opposite side from a distance, the idea of resisting disappeared instantly, and they concentrated on getting on their horses and running away.
With a large number of own fighter planes covering their heads, the Ming Army's armored forces were confident and launched an unprecedented attack formation.
Each tank is spaced fifteen to twenty meters apart, and a tank battalion of thirty-six tanks can almost extend an attack width of nearly 800 meters.
In order to ensure that they are not attacked by pigtails after dark, each tank also carries a squad of ten infantrymen, as does the infantry fighting vehicle behind it.
During the day, these preparations naturally seem redundant.
Just under the attack of fighter planes, the braids near the border were unable to organize a decent counterattack.
As long as they find cavalry gathering on the ground, and the flags indicate that they are not on their side, the Albatross will drop bombs and straf them.
Zhang Huangyan's troops were divided into three groups, each including three armored brigades, two mechanized brigades, three cavalry brigades, and four infantry brigades, which were enough to destroy any resistance along the way.
The northern route starts from Bryansk, the middle route attacks from Kursk, and the southern route advances westward from Tsaritsyn.
The ultimate goal of the three armies was the South Bug River, which was the agreed boundary reached between Emperor Haojing and Ibrahim.
In addition, Zhang Huangyan also deployed an armored brigade, a mechanized infantry brigade, two cavalry brigades, and two infantry brigades in Tsaritsyn to deal with the braid in the area north of the Caucasus Mountains.
According to the agreement signed with the Ottomans, the line from Sochi to Chechnya, including Sochi and the Kalmyk Steppe to the north, belonged to the Ming Empire, and the south, including Chechnya, belonged to the Ottoman Empire.
Zhang Huangyan believed that it would not take much time to deal with the Donglu soldiers and horses in this area, because if the opponent could not defeat them, they would definitely retreat south through the Caucasus Mountain Pass and retreat towards the Ottomans.
As for why not retreat east or west...
To the east is the Caspian Sea!
To the west is the Black Sea!
Zhang Huangyan's order to the three troops fighting on the northwest coast of the Black Sea was to march straight in and boldly outflank them. Before reaching the South Bug River, the more men, horses and people the better.
A young Donglu male of appropriate age is worth thirty silver coins. This is pure profit, and there is no need to pay a commission or even tax to the court or the emperor.
If one million men were captured, that would be a benefit of 30 million silver coins. Therefore, the generals of each brigade were already red-eyed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make big money. ,
Each armored brigade led the way, leaving the prisoners behind them to the infantry brigade to manage, while they moved forward and forward.
Photographers accompanying the army captured the grand scene of the armored troops advancing for more than ten miles, and the infantrymen on the tanks even made V-signs to the camera.
In English, it means victory.
In the Ming Dynasty, this is the meaning of scissors, which means cutting off the braid on the back of Donglu's head!
As weapons and equipment become increasingly sophisticated and tactics become more mature, individual soldiers' combat capabilities are remarkable.
Therefore, from top to bottom, the officers and soldiers of the Wang Division were firmly convinced that this operation would be successful and they would surely be able to drink by the Manan Bug River.
Five days after the war began, the armored brigades of the Ming Army arrived at the Dnieper River one after another. With the assistance of the Zhouqiao Battalion, the tanks began to pass through the pontoon bridge on the shoal and forcibly crossed the Dnieper River.
The Qing army on the other side was trying their best to block it. They also knew that this river was the largest natural barrier in the Qing Dynasty, especially the west bank was higher than the east bank, which was very conducive to defense.
"Your Majesty! Dog Barbarian's armored chariot is crossing the river!"
Angbang Zhangjingbe and Nuo from Zhenghuang Banner ran over in disgrace and reported a very unfavorable situation.
"I have seen it!"
The person responsible for the defense here is Prince Heshuoyong Yinzhen, who has just withdrawn from the front, and is the fourth brother of Emperor Baocheng.
Under the command of Yinzhen, the Qing artillery team had done its best to bombard more and more Ming troops on the other side.
However, a large number of flying evil objects overhead were also frantically attacking the Qing army, especially the artillery units.
Less than two hours after the fighting started, the Qing artillery team had already lost seven or eighty-eight people, and its firepower was getting weaker and weaker.
If this continues, the already precarious Dnieper River defense line will be declared lost.
Emperor Baocheng originally asked his fourth brother Yinzhen to lead the troops and be responsible for the defense of the northern region. The reason was that his fourth brother did not know how to lead troops in war, so that Emperor Baocheng could rest assured.
However, Yinzhen was also equipped with a group of staff and generals. In name, they were assisting, but in fact, the civil servants were used to monitor Yinzhen, and the military generals could divide the troops under his command.
Emperor Baocheng deployed about one million troops throughout the northern region, and the number of troops under Yinzhen's command was as high as 500,000. The rest were under the direct command of Emperor Baocheng.
But now, whether it is Yinzhen's troops or other troops, facing the Ming army's tsunami-like fierce attack, they are all in a state of defeat.
Replacing Yinzhen with a general who knows how to fight, such as Chani, the result will not be much better, because without air supremacy, the Qing army can only be passively beaten during the day.
Each Ming Army armored brigade is equipped with an army aviation battalion equipped with 24 "Black Hawk" armed helicopters to facilitate the protection of rapidly advancing armored forces at any time.
Before the war, Zhang Huangyan even invented a new gadget for each combat unit, which was a large catapult.
It is similar to the rails used by trains, but the aluminum alloy rails used for airplanes are lightweight and easy to carry.
After it is connected, you can place the Albatross fighter on the side, start the engine, and then let the tank's engine tighten the chain that holds the aircraft.
When the aircraft engine power reaches its maximum, the chain is opened and the aircraft can fly out at the highest speed.
Although primitive, it works and is much easier than building an airport runway first.
However, everyone still prefers the "Black Hawk" armed helicopter, because this thing is so easy to use when braided.
The slow speed has become the greatest advantage of this type of aircraft. The bomb load is larger than that of the Albatross, and it can beat people's butts to the point of pissing.
Everyone speculates that a Black Hawk can kill at least a thousand pigtails. If you are lucky, the results may be even more.
The Qing army was not without any results. In one day, it used light and heavy artillery to destroy at least two Albatross and three Black Hawks, plus five tanks.
But compared with the results it achieved, its own losses of tens of thousands became more and more prominent, and the battle loss ratio was almost completely disproportionate.
The Ming army launched hundreds of "Scud" tactical missiles at the Qing army's positions on the opposite bank, directly knocking out dozens of firepower points on the other side.
Wherever they were hit, people and equipment were basically blasted into the sky by violent explosions...
The Qing army had never seen such an unreasonable attack. The opponent was advancing strongly relying on its firepower advantage.
Without these firearms and evil weapons, the Qing Emperor could easily defeat these barbarians who came to die.
The only reason to blame is that the dog barbarian is delving into those heretical things when he has nothing to do, and he has the ability to compete with the Qing Dynasty warriors in his proficiency in bow and horse!
Unfortunately, one of the armored brigade's forced crossings happened to be in the defense area that Yinzhen was directly responsible for.
Yinzhen, who is less than thirty years old, still has about 100,000 troops and horses in his hands, which can be temporarily collected, and there are many others scattered in various places.
However, tens of thousands of people were lost in the first day of fighting on the banks of the Dnieper River, which directly caused the remaining soldiers to lose interest in fighting in the face of the stormy offensive launched by Man Ming.
If it hadn't been for Prince Yong's pressure, everyone would have continued to run away, because the so-called "arrow rain tactic" would not work against Man Ming at all.
Manming didn't have many people on the territory west of the Ural Mountains, and the Qing army would not get much advantage by attacking from multiple directions. On the contrary, it would make its hinterland even more empty.
Faced with Goumanzi's tactics of driving forward, the Qing army seemed unable to resist. The so-called blocking was only a slight delay in the opponent's advance, nothing more.
The low-lying areas on the west bank of the Dnieper River are the focus of the competition between the two sides, because such places can easily allow tanks to land ashore.
Before the Ming army tanks landed, dozens of Hercules bombers carried out carpet bombing on the west bank of the ferry to weaken the combat effectiveness of the defenders on the opposite side.
This move dealt a devastating blow to the Qing anti-aircraft artillery positions on the west bank. They were originally prepared to destroy low-flying Albatross fighter jets.
Due to the range of the Xiaofolang aircraft, there is no way to deal with the "Hercules" aircraft flying nearly a thousand meters in the air.
The opponent's slap-in-the-face blow made the Qing army's anti-aircraft artillery troops watch helplessly as they were wiped out by these giant flying evil objects.
After the "Hercules" flew over, a thousand-meter-long bombing zone was left on the ground, littered with large and small craters, as well as countless battered or burnt corpses.
Based on this level of attack, Bei Henuo estimated that the Qing army could withstand the dog barbarians for at most three days, and they might have to retreat tomorrow.
However, the actual situation exceeded his imagination. In the afternoon of that day, more than ten Ming army tanks rushed into the Qing army's position on the west bank.
Along with the tanks, there were hundreds of Ming Army infantrymen. The first batch of infantrymen to land was small in number, so they all had one submachine gun to suppress the opponent in terms of firepower.
Pei Henuo ordered a armored Han army to launch a counterattack under the cover of more than 20 tanks, trying to drive these barbarians down the river as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, thousands of Han troops were unable to do anything to a mere hundred or so barbarians. Instead, more than half of our own soldiers were killed and wounded.
