After Emperor Dingcheng Hongxi suffered a disastrous defeat and had withdrawn his troops to the mountains, Wallachia Pasha (Governor of Romania) Saleh formally made a request to him.
Within a month, the area south of the Warren Marsh and west of the South Bug River was returned to the area that originally belonged to the Ottoman Empire and was later taken by the Qing Dynasty.
Now, the Ottoman Empire has the right to take back its lost territory!
If Hongxi refuses, then starting from March 1, 1707, the Ottoman army will launch an attack on the Qing army.
At the same time, Saleh also made the same request to Yongzheng, another emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Not only did he issue an ultimatum to the Qing Dynasty, he also contacted the Ming army coach Zhang Huangyan.
When necessary, Saleh will ask Zhang Huangyan to send troops to the area west of the South Bug River.
When the previous emperor of the Qing Dynasty died, two emperors succeeded to the throne at the same time.
This surprised Saleh who was watching the excitement, and neither emperor planned to surrender to the Ottoman Empire.
His Majesty the Sultan's patience is limited. It is impossible to allow the European coalition forces to occupy the lost territories of the Ottoman Empire and at the same time provide food to feed the Tatars who refuse to surrender.
One of the reasons why Zhang Huangyan never ordered to continue the attack to the west is that his master had reached an agreement with the Ottoman Sultan before.
Moreover, there were so many prisoners that a large number of soldiers and horses had to be dispatched to escort them along the way, otherwise unpredictable events and losses would surely occur.
Fortunately, the journey is not far. In the early stage, all the prisoners only need to be escorted to the Kursk Mine, where millions of miners are welcome to work.
With this workforce, the mine has become the largest mine west of the Ural Mountains, and even in the entire Europe.
In addition, the coal mines in Donbas are also important large-scale projects to attract labor. The starting price is one million and there is no upper limit.
The area from the Dnieper River Basin to the Don River and the Volga River Basin will become a huge production area.
In the absence of natural disasters, the food production in this area alone can feed at least 100 million people every year.
The unmarried young fair-skinned women among the prisoners were all picked out as trophies and rewarded to the meritorious soldiers.
The women's family members will also be pardoned. As the family members of soldiers, they can obtain land to support themselves.
The area west of the Military Demarcation Line and before the Dnieper River has all become a settlement area for infantry brigades.
It is the defense area of each brigade in wartime, and the settlement area in peacetime. One area is used for two purposes, and the two brigades are delayed.
This matter does not need to be reported to be approved. As the commander-in-chief of the Western Theater Command and the governor of the region, Zhang Huangyan has been given the power to deal with special matters. This is also something Zhang Huangyan had discussed with his master before.
Soldiers who already have land in their hometown can choose to switch to other units, such as the local garrison to continue serving, and their personal treatment will be adjusted according to the level of the unit.
If you want to keep the benefits you have earned through hard work, you must obey the arrangements of the local garrison, and your family members can be brought over to settle there.
No one is willing to do something that is not beneficial. Zhang Huangyan announced that anyone who is willing to settle in the local area will be allocated land at twice the previous standard.
The land grade also remains the same, that is, your home used to be on riverside land, and now you will also be allocated riverside land.
Your home used to be backed by land and woods, but now it gives you exactly the same place.
One thing is certain, that is, the climate of the newly acquired territory is much better than that of the original territory.
Another certainty is that through the efforts of the Dog Tatar minions, this plain area has been completely reclaimed.
Just come and sow the seeds, and it's fertile black land, which is completely unavailable in the north, and is very similar to the land in Kanto.
As for why the Master named Minsk and not other places, the fundamental reason is not known to outsiders.
Zhang Huangyan didn't know it at first, but after being enlightened, he suddenly realized it.
There are two major potash fertilizer-producing areas in the Pan-European region west of the Ural Mountains. Once the Ming Dynasty masters took control of the Minsk region, they announced that they would take over all of the two major potash fertilizer-producing areas.
With the Eastern European plains and fertile black soil in hand, and no shortage of fertilizers, this area alone will be able to support a population of 300-400 million people in the future.
Including the area east of the Wula Mountains, not counting the local area, the entire Northland can feed 6 to 700 million people. If crops are highly productive in the future, it will be no problem to feed 1 billion people.
Shengjing will continue to play an important role as a strategic hub, and has restored its original name - Kiev!
Emperor Haojing thought this name was very good, as it had both advanced base and auxiliary control capabilities.
Moscow is the control center for the area west of the Ural Mountains, and Poroburg, Minsk, and Kiev are the bridgeheads in three directions.
Only with this arrangement can Ming Dynasty's control over the area be more stable.
In March, the railway from Kursk to Kifu was opened to traffic.
This means that Ming Dynasty’s control over the region has been greatly enhanced, and the construction of railways from Donbas to Voronezh and Tsaritsyn, and from Minsk to Moscow is also in full swing.
In the Black Sea, Sea of Azov, and Dnieper River, there are already small Ming army armored ships flying the Shen flag patrolling.
Emperor Haojing also plans to establish a shipyard in Mariuber, build first-class ironclads in the early stage, and then gradually upgrade the shipyard's construction capabilities. It is expected that within ten years it will reach the level of building third-class ironclads.
It seems that there is a huge gap between the standards of local shipyards, but as long as they continue to provide strong support, the Mariuber Shipyard can build a 10,000-ton ironclad ship within twenty years.
It is not difficult to build a "King" class battleship within thirty years. All you need to do is to get up early in the dock, then use all kinds of heavy equipment, and mobilize a large number of local engineers and technical workers.
In fact, the goal can be achieved quickly within ten years, and the same is true for Fort Poro.
From now on, there will be a Ming fleet in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, even if there are only a few armored ships.
The Ottoman Empire would not object to this, because Ibrahim also hoped that he could get his own ironclad without having to travel too far.
Karl XI also very much welcomed Zhu Cixi's establishment of a shipyard in Boroborg, which was of great help to the Swedish Navy in maintaining its status as the northern hegemon.
Both the Ottoman Sultan and the King of Sweden realized that if their country did not want to be threatened by the twin emperors Louis XIV and Leopold, they could only continue to improve their national and military power.
The shortcut to achieve this goal is to maintain close and friendly relations with the Ming Empire. There is no second shortcut!
Karl XI was unwilling to give up the territory he had seized that originally belonged to Polly, and Ibrahim was not willing to cede Hungary.
For Ibrahim, the loss of Hungary would mean that the coalition forces could directly threaten the security of the Balkans and Wallachia, which was something he could not tolerate.
Hungary is its own bottom line, and Ibrahim will never accept any suggestion of moving the border further south.
The land located in Europe only accounts for about one-seventh of the Ottoman Empire's land area, but more than half of the army is stationed. Its importance is self-evident.
Similarly, Sweden, which has less than 100,000 standing troops, has more than 50,000 soldiers permanently stationed in the area south of the Baltic Sea, and another 50,000 reserve soldiers to assist in operations.
Although the two heads of state have little exchanges, they unanimously attach great importance to the land of the European continent.
The basic strategy is to grab as much as you can. If you can't grab it, you can't lose all your capital.
Zhu Cixiang provided fifty fuel tanks and one hundred "Albatross" fighter jets to Sweden every year, and the number provided to the Ottomans was more than four times that of Sweden.
The Austrian army can field two mechanized infantry brigades of tanks, four groups of fighters, and no less than twenty "Hercules" bombers every year.
Ibrahim also introduced the production technology of the "Albatross" fighter jet, but there are still considerable technical difficulties in early imitation, and it can only be at the level of parts assembly.
If the purchase volume is relatively large, it is better to import original weapons from the Ming Empire. After all, the quality is guaranteed, and frontline soldiers also trust imported weapons more.
After the deadline of the ultimatum, Saleh saw that the two Tatar emperors were still stubborn and did not take his good intentions seriously at all, so he would never be polite to them again.
Under the cover of 300 aircraft, the troops were divided into three groups.
The first route attacked Hong Xi's territory, the second route attacked Yinzhen's territory from land, and the third route landed on the north coast of the Black Sea by sea and attacked Yinzhen's troops.
At the same time, I implore Zhang Huangyan that if it is not convenient to dispatch the army, he hopes to get air support from Ming army fighter planes, which is equivalent to providing his own force with no less than 50,000 troops.
Regarding this request, Zhang Huangyan readily agreed since the operation was in the dry season of the river in spring and would not pose much hindrance to the armored forces.
There are documents, maps, and movies to prove it, and we are not afraid of the other party denying it.
Yes, Saleh was worried that he would lack integrity if he did not go there in person.
So I also specially shot a short movie, which mainly introduced my battle plan.
We are not afraid of being known by the other party, because all of our requirements have been made clear.
Zhang Huangyan was naturally not rude. After writing a personal letter, he also made a movie as a reply.
The Ming Dynasty King's Division will dispatch 500 fighter jets, 100 bombers, five armored brigades, one mechanized infantry brigade, five cavalry brigades, and six infantry brigades to help the Austrian army.
Six hundred combat aircraft plus 17 brigades of ground troops, no less than 2,400 tanks, and 25,000 cavalry to assist in the battle, it was calculated that the opponent was given enough face.
These troops are the general reserve team that didn't get a chance to fight before. Now they are better. You have so much ability, just use it!
However, it must be stated in advance that all Austrian military units must have distinctive flags and uniforms to avoid being accidentally injured by Ming army fighter planes...
"Oh my god! The barbarian is coming!"
"ah???"
"The wind is so tight!"
"I can't stand it anymore! Get out!"
The Qing army on the west bank of the South Bug River originally thought that the other party had been silent for half a year and would not come.
I never expected that what was supposed to come would eventually come, and just like last time, it would still be overwhelming.
Above the head are densely packed flying evil objects, and opposite are armored chariots as numerous as cattle.
I suffered a loss from such a tactic last time, and I will still suffer a loss this time.
According to Beihono's order, the slaves dug two deep and wide trenches on the west bank of the South Bug River, as well as a large number of horse traps. With the river blocking it, it seemed that they could withstand it for a while.
However, with the arrival of the dry season, the shallow areas of the river have become a display.
The engineer battalions of the Ming Army's armored brigades are equipped with many bulldozers, and one of the jobs of these machines is to fill trenches.
Even if there are obstacles, flares can be fired to allow the air force fleet to blow up the entire area!
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Ming army's aircraft fleet, Beiheno painstakingly built a defense line on the west bank of the South Bug River.
In just one day, less than an hour to be precise, it was declared to have collapsed.
No Qing soldier with good legs and feet dared to stay on the defensive line. As long as his legs were fine, he would run back like crazy. No matter how the generals and lieutenants cursed and even executed deserters in public, it was of no avail.
Facing hundreds of "double ghosts on heaven and earth", everyone has already been frightened to death, so why do they still have the intention to stick to the spot?
If the dog barbarian were to hit him with a cold weapon, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would not be afraid at all and would definitely kill him until his ass peeed!
On the contrary, it would be impossible to play. Now is no longer the era when you can conquer the north and south just by relying on your proficiency with bows and horses.
Before last year, the King of the Qing Dynasty might have been able to trample all of Europe with his iron cavalry.
After last year, the King of Qing Dynasty reluctantly tasted a brand new tactic...
A Ming Army armored column stretching for more than ten miles appeared on the ground, advancing toward the enemy's hinterland in a mighty manner.
There are "Black Hawk" armed helicopters overhead for escort, and "Black-footed Albatross" attack aircraft are circling higher in the sky.
The cavalry in the rear was protecting the advance of the infantry brigade. The entire offensive routine was orderly and without any flaws.
About 30,000 Qing troops stationed on the front line of the South Bug River were quickly defeated. Due to the opponent's advancing speed and powerful firepower, they did not even have a chance to counterattack.
This is the blitzkrieg of the Ming Dynasty King Division, which strengthens the efficient attack of air and ground.
Under good weather conditions, hundreds of miles can be advanced every day.
According to Zhang Huangyan's estimate, it will take less than ten days to rendezvous with the Austrian army, and it can be done in five days if it is faster.
Because the territory previously reserved for the Tatars to survive was not large, and its depth was very small.
Blitzkrieg can quickly penetrate the Tatars' peaceful land and let these stubborn guys know that their end is coming.
The master allowed him to defect to the Ottoman Empire. I don’t know if the Tatars were unaware or simply unwilling.
It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not now, the Ming Dynasty King Master will no longer leave a place for the other party to survive.
From March 27th to April 3rd, the Ming army continued to advance.
By April 4th, the Ming army heading west merged with the Austrian army heading east.
The remaining task is to divide and surround the dog Tatars who are unwilling to surrender. This is their ultimate fate.
"Your Majesty! The barbarian army is now unstoppable. The Qing Dynasty..."
"Dear ladies, do you want to beg for surrender?"
"I have no intention of doing this!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, this servant is willing to protect you to the death!"
Emperor Yongzheng, who was attacked from east to west by the Austrian and Ming armies, had lost about half of his army and was now almost at the end of his rope.
"If Master Wang can't do it, all my dear friends can leave on your own!"
"Your Majesty! You must never say this!"
"This is not my wish, but forced by the situation!"
"Your Majesty! The Ottoman Governor Saleh had previously intended to surrender..."
"Your Majesty, in the past King Gou Jian of Yue was defeated by King Wu Fu Chai. He had to endure hardships and take revenge for ten years. Now the situation is forcing us, the Qing Dynasty, to do it!"
"Your Majesty! Jiang Wei can also instigate a rebellion against Zhong Hui. If he can defeat Man Ming with Osman's help, maybe he can give it a try!"
