"Hahaha......"
Leopold's laughter also echoed on the walls of Chapultepec Castle, causing a large group of powerful and high-ranking officials from the Spanish Empire who turned pale with fright to see the large number of Aztec soldiers. Surprised eyes - Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor was frightened crazy by the military might of the Aztecs? That's so embarrassing!
The Spanish emperor was not crazy. Seeing that his laughter attracted everyone's attention, Emperor Leopold smiled and explained: "I was laughing at Montezuma for being confused. He must have thought that Shang Fang Kingdom had sent troops. He The army can become more powerful, and it can take down a strong city like Mexico City... The merchant army is powerful, but it is the merchant army, and his Aztec army is just a group of Indian farmers who took up arms. No matter how many people there are, it is impossible to capture Mexico City, which has sixty triangular forts!”
Leopold's confidence was not without reason. Today's Mexico City cannot be said to be the strongest fortress in the world, but it is definitely not something that the Aztecs can capture with their fortification capabilities. In fact, in the Spanish-Aztec wars in recent years, although King Montezuma's army was outnumbered, they failed to capture any large city that was tightly fortified by the Spanish Royal Army. Even if they faced some small and medium-sized cities that were only fortified by militias, the Aztec army would have to fight hard to defeat them.
And even if Montezuma concentrated all his strength on a strong city like Mexico City, it would be impossible to defeat it!
After listening to Leopold's analysis, most of the fear on the faces of the officials and dignitaries of the Spanish Empire on the city wall disappeared.
Emperor Leopold saw that the people under his command felt much relieved, so he continued his analysis: "Now he has concentrated all his main forces on the outskirts of Mexico City, General Eugen von Savoy and Don... The legion commanded by Marquis Diego will surely win victory at Lake Chapala and Leon City soon! Then, they will march towards the Mexica Valley together.
The Prime Minister of the Caribbean Grand Duchy, Count Wilhelm von Baden, will also complete the formation of the Cuban-German Legion within two to three months. Thirty thousand soldiers from Germany and other European countries will join this legion, and they will also be equipped with On board are sweet powder bombs and artillery shells produced in Cuba and new artillery from England and the Netherlands. It will also be equipped with flintlocks, rifles and war horses from Europe! As soon as the Cuban Legion arrives, the army gathered by Montezuma will suffer a disastrous defeat in the Mexica Valley.
At the same time, our commander-in-chief Lorraine and Charles V, Duke of Bar, will definitely lead his legions to stop the merchant army at the Zacatecas silver mines. In fact, those greedy devil believers came here just for the silver in Zacatecas. Even if they captured the silver mine, they would not be able to travel a hundred Spanish miles to the Mexica Valley to help Montezuma, the traitor... ....Because I have authorized the Dukes of Lorraine and Bar to, if necessary, cede the Zacatecas Valley and all the land north of it in exchange for peace with the merchants. "
Once they heard that Leopold had authorized Lorraine and the Duke of Bar to betray their country and beg for mercy, a group of Spanish lords were finally relieved... Although many of them were born in the New World and had never even been to Spain. Native. But in their minds, their motherland will always be Spain!
And New Spain is just a piece of property that their ancestors snatched from the Indians. It wouldn't hurt to cut off a little bit of it now... Of course, it also depends on who it is given to?
It would be the least painful to cede New England and New France to the white European colonists. In the New World, these first-class whites and second-class whites are actually one family!
It's okay to cede it to the devils of Shang Fang... Although Shang Fang is mysterious and may have arrived earlier than the Europeans, one thing is for sure, they are also the first colonizers!
The transfer of land between foreign colonists did not give the native Indians hope... As far as the white people in New Spain knew, the merchants (East Asians) also regarded the Indians as second class The third class people saw it, and they even bluntly called the Indians 'savages'!
But the Aztecs wanted to cede their land to the Indians, but that was not possible! Because it would cause other Indians to hallucinate—the Aztecs can do it, so can I! If all the Indians rebel, the world will be in chaos... This is called preferring to be a devil rather than a domestic slave!
Now that the Spanish gentlemen at Chapultepec Castle have finally gained their confidence, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed, and some people have begun to talk about ceding land and paying compensation.
"If you ask me, I should have made peace with the Shang people long ago..."
"That's right! That Earl of St. Chris shouldn't have sent people to Shang Fang to release smallpox... This is simply treating a powerful foreign civilization like an indigenous barbarian in the New World!"
"That's right, the subsequent Battle of the Texas Bend was even more ridiculous! They actually mistook the Yin Family Khan tribe for the Incas...the races are all different!"
"I think it's better to cede the land and pay compensation as soon as possible...anyway, it's the same compensation sooner or later!"
"This matter cannot be rushed. Emperor Louis the Great has already come forward to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. I heard that he has even married a legalized illegitimate daughter to the King of Shang!"
"Emperor Louis is still great..."
When he heard that the people below were crossing Louis XIV, Leopold's long face became serious... This Louis XIV is so hateful! It was the Spanish Empire that ceded territory, it was the Spanish Empire that paid reparations, but it was Louis who married his daughter, and he had to marry her in the name of a Spanish princess!
If I had known this would happen, Leopold... Leopold still had no idea! Because Leopold believed in God and would not have as many royal mistresses as Louis XIV, he did not have an illegitimate daughter to marry the little devil of the Shang Dynasty.
Leopold, who was annoyed by the people below, was not in the mood to continue watching the Aztec army approaching on the wall of Chapultepec Castle. He snorted and turned around to leave. He climbed down the wall and returned to himself. A palace located within the Chapultepec Castle.
...
"Military advisor, when will reinforcements from Shang Kingdom arrive?"
At the same time, at the position of the Aztec army north of Mexico City, Montezuma, who had finished playing King Mengchuang, asked Huang Feiyu, who had just arrived with his troops, about the merchant reinforcements?
In fact, his heart is still a little weak... The main force of his Aztec army has entered the Mexica Valley! If Mexico City cannot be captured, it is very likely that the victory will fall short, or even the entire army will disintegrate under Mexico City.
The key to conquering Mexico City was actually not his two to three hundred thousand Aztec army, but the reinforcements from the Shang Fang Kingdom! Because his Aztec army simply could not defeat a strong fortress like Mexico City.
"It's almost, it's almost... there's still half a month at most!" Huang Feiyu shook his feather fan and smiled, "The autographed letter from the Marquis of Xibo said that the 30,000-strong army led by the Marquis of Celing and the Marquis of Jizhou It will go east from Torreon, then through the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains, then south along the Gulf Coast, and then into the Mexica Valley from the east!”
"Really?" King Montezuma was very happy. "The merchant army doesn't want the Zacatecas silver mine?"
Huang Feiyu smiled and said: "Conquering Mexico City and a small silver mine is not something you, the Aztec king, can do with just a word?"
"Yes, yes..." King Montezuma agreed happily, but his heart felt a little painful - could it not hurt? The Zacatecas silver mine is the wealth of the Aztec nation!
He, the Aztec king, has given the benefits of "equal land and no taxes" to the Indians below in exchange for their support! If he doesn't want to break his promise, he can only count on the "mine tax"... and the Zacatecas Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in New Spain!
If this silver mine is ceded to Shang Fang, how will he, the Aztec king, live in the future? Although there are still some silver and gold mines in Aztec land. But without the income from the Zacatecas Silver Mine, relying solely on those small mines, the Aztec Kingdom can maintain a bleak operating situation at best. It is impossible to become stronger!
To become strong, the Aztecs had to co-organize a new army, build a navy, open factories, engage in education, develop overseas trade... and even support the Indians in South America to overthrow the colonial rule of the Europeans and become Indians. A country where leaders are ethical among people.
To achieve the above goals, you have to spend a lot of money! But the Shang Fang Kingdom now wants to take away all the Aztec gold and silver mountains, which is really a bit...
Huang Feiyu didn't know what King Montezuma was thinking, but he continued to talk about Zhou Peigong's instructions: "Xi Bohou asked us to keep Leopold I in Mexico City as much as possible! He hasn't escaped yet, has he?"
"No, not at all!"
"That's good," Huang Feiyu said, "let's divide our forces and besiege the city. Let's first set up four large camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Mexico City!"
"Okay, it's all according to the military advisor!" As he spoke, Montezuma raised his head and looked at the castle on the top of the mountain in the distance, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about?
...
"My dear, the New World has arrived!"
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
"Your Majesty, is that our new home?"
"Your Majesty, we are finally here..."
"Your Majesty..."
"..."
While the Aztec King Montezuma was looking at Chapultepec Castle in deep thought, a Pacific-type sailing ship sailed by Shang King Zhu Yimei had arrived outside the Fuguimen Strait!
The king of the Shang Kingdom was also looking at his land!
And around him, there were seven beauties as beautiful as flowers and jade - he was so endearing to women. When he left Nanjing, he took with him a concubine, a concubine, and three attendants, a total of five women. But when he arrived in the New World, there were two more selected attendants, making a total of seven women. In his words, he made up "seven fairies"!
Of course, the two extra women were not mermaids fished out of the Pacific Ocean, but Princess Aoi and Tokugawa Princess whom they obtained at Osaka Castle and Edo Castle respectively when passing through Japan. It was all Zhu Yimei who did it "based on his ability". When he was in Osaka Castle, he "occasionally" saw a daughter of Anton Aoi. She was very cute, so he shamelessly approached her and recited a love poem. After showing off his prowess, he was fascinated by the daughter of the Aoi family, and offered himself a pillow that night...and that Tokugawa Princess was the granddaughter of Tokugawa Mitsuhiro, and the daughter of the Aoi family. know. When Zhu Yimei went down to Edo, Tokugawa Hime came to visit her good sisters, but she bumped into Zhu Yimei, and was captured on the spot by this heroic and heroic king!
With the company of these seven fairies, Zhu Yimei's journey was really not lonely at all. The voyage of three to four months was over after "more than a dozen rounds", and she still had more to say!
However, this Little Zhu Demon King also has expectations for the New World - Sophie Magisko told him that there are many beauties in Mexico City, and they are said to be very enthusiastic and delicious!
Therefore, the Shang King had already made up his mind on the road. If Mexico City has not been captured yet, then he must personally lead an army to attack the city!
The beauties in Mexico City must all see the power of King Shang Fang! There must be many beauties who are fascinated by this king, right?
Not long after, King Shang, who was determined to send troops to Mexico City, finally set foot on his land - he landed at the dock outside Xinchaoge City! Those who greeted him on the pier were two of the seven princes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Li Guangdi, the left lingyin, and Chen Tingjing, the right lingyin, as well as some ministers and soldiers who stayed behind, and of course some common people. Everyone stretched their necks and looked forward to His Highness the King coming from afar.
It has been so many years since the capital of Shang Fang Kingdom was established, and finally there is a king!
Then the two commanders led a large group of officials and people's representatives to salute the king who came off the ship, dressed in military uniform and with a long sword hanging from his waist. Zhu Yimei nodded in return, said a few words of encouragement and condolences, and then asked: "Why didn't you see Su Zhanyang, Cering Dunduobu and Xibohou? Did they send troops to attack the Spanish Empire?"
"Report to your Majesty," Li Guangdi replied, "Xibohou, Dongbohou, Jizhouhou, and Celing Qianhuhou led their armies to Tongnancheng half a year ago to prepare for dispatching troops. Two months ago, they led their armies to invade the Spanish Empire. Got it!"
Chen Tingjing added: "Your Majesty, King Montezuma of the Aztec Kingdom has also led his troops to Mexico City... Now it is estimated that troops have been sent to surround Mexico City. You just have to wait in the New Chaoge Rest in the city for at least three months, and then there will be good news."
When Zhu Yimei heard this, he quickly pressed his sword and said with an iron face: "The Gu family is also a warrior, how can we sit at home and just wait for the soldiers to perform meritorious service?" He then pointed at Sophie Maggie who had already come off the boat and said, " The Gu family will go south to Mexico City with this Sumerian... The Gu family will work with the soldiers to defeat Mexico City!"
Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing turned around and saw the effervescently beautiful "Su Mei". They thought to themselves: "A great Shang king is taking a Sumei to conquer a country with the name "West"... No. Great auspiciousness!"
