King James II of England and his confidant Admiral Churchill were so shocked by what they said to Louis XIV together that they stood there dumbly, unable to say a word for a long time.
Louis the Great was so helpful... He was not helping England fight the Aztecs, but helping England pay Indians to come to the twelve states of North America to deal with the investigation!
The twelve states in North America spent countless energy and financial resources to exterminate and drive out the Indians there, and finally cleared a relatively clean land belonging to white people. Now, because they are afraid of the invasion of the Aztec army supported by the Ming Dynasty, they are spending money to invite Indians from other places back... What is this? If we now spend money to invite the Indians back, wouldn't the previous extinction be in vain?
Also, once that investigation team leaves, what will happen to those Indians who paid for it? Will the Kingdom of England pay another sum of money to exterminate them again? So what if the Aztecs bring trouble with the Ming Dynasty again after a while? Do the English still have to spend money to recruit Indians?
Even if England has money, it cannot spend it like this!
"Your Majesty," said Admiral Churchill, who had a stronger psychological quality and had already reacted, "I think it is impossible for the Ming Empire to send troops to the Atlantic to participate in the war, right?"
"That's not the case." Louis shook his head.
"In that case, what's there to be afraid of?" The King of England immediately became more courageous.
Louis the Great shook his head and looked very worried: "But the Aztecs will be completely armed...The Aztecs have six million Indians. If they are fully armed, they will have three to four million." A huge army of men!”
"Yes, there are so many?" The King of England was surprised.
Admiral Churchill frowned and leaned into the king's ear: "Your Majesty, the Aztec Kingdom confiscated all the lands of the Spanish nobility and church, and then divided them equally among the Indian serfs and slaves, so they were able to implement universal military service. .So every Aztec adult male has the obligation to perform military service, and the Aztec Kingdom can recruit a particularly large army when necessary!"
"First Evolution"
"Aren't these just a group of common people carrying guns? Can such an army fight? Can they have iron-like discipline?" The King of England was still a little doubtful about the combat effectiveness of the Aztec army.
"Your Majesty," Churchill shook his head. "As far as I know, their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the army of New Spain. In the Battle of Tampico, the Battle of Puerto Isabel and the Battle of Veracruz, the Aztec army With their bravery, perseverance, hard work, and powerful firepower, they finally defeated the Spanish Imperial Army composed of Germans, Spaniards, and Indo-Europeans!”
The King of England was also aware of the Battles of Tampico, Port Isabel, and Veracruz, three major battles that took place within a few months of the Battle of Mexico City. These three battles all followed the same pattern, that is, the Spanish imperial army held on to the coastal port fortress, while the Aztec army launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties.
Although the Aztecs paid a heavy price in these three battles, with twenty to thirty thousand casualties, they finally captured the port fortress held by the Spanish. Especially in the battle for Tampico Port, the largest port in the Gulf of Mexico, the Spanish Empire's top general, General Eugen von Savoy, took command. After fighting hard for three months with 30,000 Spanish imperial troops and 100,000 Aztecs, they were finally defeated and retreated.
The Frankish Emperor Louis said worriedly: "According to the report submitted by General Eugen later, the Aztec army was extremely willing to fight and was extremely hardworking... because all of them firmly believed in the Aztecs." Ke's defeat means that their race will be completely extinct!
In order for their race to survive, for their children to have the right to grow up, and to preserve the land they exchanged for their lives and blood, they have no choice but to fight to the end! "
The Aztecs killed Leopold I, liquidated the white people in Mexico City, confiscated the churches, and divided the Spanish nobles' land equally, etc. In fact, they completed a triple national revolution, a peasant revolution, and a religious revolution. revolution.
This triple revolution was so powerful and thorough that it even surpassed the Battle of the Ming Dynasty, and was far from comparable to the Mexican War of Independence in history. Therefore, the Aztec army born from this triple revolution was actually a revolutionary army. The morale and fighting spirit they possessed were unmatched by the European mercenaries of this era!
"Even if they are numerous and brave, they don't have much of a navy and can't reach our North American colonies!" King James II of England still shook his head.
Leonardo, Louis XIV’s foreign minister, said: “However, the Indians in the Appalachian Mountains will be armed with money from the Aztecs, guns from the Ming Dynasty, and Aztec officers. Command and train them... Your Majesty, I think you should know the situation in New France. There are too few white people there to prevent the Aztecs from entering and passing through the land of the Shang Dynasty. .
And considering that the Aztec Kingdom had the second largest silver mine in the world, the battle in the Appalachians would be long, bloody, and expensive! "
After hearing Leonard's analysis, the old face of the King of England was so pale that there was no trace of blood!
Because the colonies of the twelve states in North America were laid out along the Appalachian Mountains, the plains to the east of the mountains and to the sea were occupied by English colonists, who established a large number of estates that relied on black slaves as the main labor force. The Indians who originally lived there were either exterminated or hid in the Appalachian Mountains to the west and lived a hard life.
Of course, the white colonists who occupied the coastal plains of North America would not allow the Indians to hide in the Appalachian Mountains - did they want to recuperate in the mountains so that they could regain their homeland in the future?
Moreover, the Indians in the mountains also blocked the white people's route to explore westward and search for gold and silver mines... It's really hateful!
Therefore, the group of manor owners in the twelve states of North America who are full of martial arts and armed with guns will go into the mountains to kill people whenever they have the opportunity. The great country of the United States is that they, the manor owners with guns, snatched the country from the Indians with one shot. down.
Because the Indians in the mountains were hungry and cold, they would go out to rob the mountains from time to time, so the feud between the two sides became deeper and deeper and could no longer be untied.
Since the Indians inside the mountains are inferior to the white people outside the mountains in terms of weapons, organization, training, strategies, etc., they can only slowly go extinct in the struggle with the white people... This is a quite desperate process. ah!
But now the Aztec country of Indians was born, defeated the Spanish Empire of white people, killed the Spanish emperor of white people, and killed more than 100,000 white people in one go in Mexico City!
For the desperate Appalachian Indians, the distant Aztec Kingdom is their only hope!
What if these legendary Aztecs, with military aid from the Ming Dynasty, crossed the undefended New France (a total of 20,000 to 30,000 white people) and arrived in the Appalachian Mountains to help the desperate Indian tribes there? ...The twelve states in North America are still not allowed to be slaughtered in rivers of blood?
When Louis XIV saw James II's face, he knew that the old man was a little timid, so he said: "If we can avoid unnecessary conflicts and ease the tense relations with the Aztecs and Shang, at the same time Wouldn't it be nice not to give the Ming Dynasty any excuse to interfere in Atlantic affairs? There are only one or two hundred thousand Indians. As long as the Kingdom of England is willing to pay, are you worried about not being able to recruit them all? Even if it is difficult to get one or two hundred thousand Indians on the Great Plains for a while Thousands, and there is also the Spanish Empire! There are many Indians in the Spanish Empire’s Viceroyalty of Peru. As long as a few hundred thousand pounds are spent, the problem should be solved."
The Frank Emperor seemed to admire his IQ and said with a smile: "This way we can concentrate on dealing with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Those Tianfang believers are the enemy... We can take advantage of the Turks to throw all their strength into the Suez River The opportunity to excavate serious preparations for a new, massive war."
Emperor Louis looked excited: "Once they dig the canal, we will send an army of 300,000 people to attack Constantinople! At the same time, we can also send an army of 200,000 people to land in Jerusalem and Egypt by sea and destroy them in one fell swoop. Ottoman Empire!
At that time, not only will Constantinople and Jerusalem be ours, but Alexandria, Cairo and the Suez Canal will also be ours! "
It turns out that Emperor Louis still has great ideas!
He is the Sun King of my country. How could he leave the important task of rebuilding the Roman Empire to his children and grandchildren?
And in his view, although building the Suez Canal will have great long-term returns, it will definitely waste people and money in the short term. Especially for the Ottoman Empire, which had just lost the Great Southern War and the local economy was relatively depressed. It was impossible to realize its shares in the canal and it was difficult to obtain financing... The canal project was very likely to become a crushing factor for the Ottoman Empire. The last straw for the empire's finances.
So Louis the Great planned to launch a war while the canal was repaired, but before he started making money, and destroy the Ottoman Empire. Then everything would belong to the Frank Empire.
But James II and Churchill were not happy... Everything belongs to France, so what does England get? One or two hundred thousand Indians who cannot be killed or fed?
But other than gnashing his teeth and scolding Emperor Louis in his heart, he had no other solution for the moment.
James II could now see that because of Leopold's death and the three subsequent port battles, Louis XIV had regarded the Aztec Kingdom as a "country not to be messed with"...at all I don't want to, and probably don't dare to send the Frank Expeditionary Force to Mexico.
Thinking of this, James II could only sigh, and then looked at his most trusted Secretary of War, Churchill: "John, what do you think of His Majesty the Emperor's suggestion?"
What could Admiral Churchill say? I can only say good things, "Of course... very good, very wise!"
"Well," James II said with a gloomy face, "Then I will accept your appointment as the governor of New England, and then... I will allocate two hundred thousand pounds from the royal property to you to invite the Indians!"
When it came to spending 200,000 pounds out of his own pocket to invite the Indians, James II was so distressed that he almost cried.
There is nothing more ridiculous in the world than this!
Twelve states in North America actually have to spend money to hire Indians...and the money has to be paid out of the British king's own pocket - the British Parliament is impossible to agree to appropriate the money. This money can only be paid by the king, and it is estimated that there will be more money. Get scolded! He was scolded by the white colonists in the twelve states of North America! It feels aggrieved just to think about it!
When James II made up his mind to use his own money to support the United States and invite Indians to come to the rescue, Zhu Heji, the mastermind behind the whole thing, did not expect that the problem he posed for the English would be easily resolved by Louis XIV—— Louis XIV was so smart that he exceeded common sense and actually came up with a clever trick to get the United States to spend money to hire Indians. Who would have thought of this?
However, Zhu Heji and his ministers still prepared for the worst possible scenario. The worst-case scenario they imagined was that the English were angered by the Aztecs' demands, and then, with the support of Louis XIV, united with the Spanish Empire to attack the Aztec country.
As for Zhu Heji's preparation, they ordered Zhu Celing, who was only fifteen years old, to lead the three thousand chainmail cavalry that his mother Anu had organized for him to conquer the new continent in advance!
In the past two years, due to the increase in the number of ships traveling to and from the Pacific, and the fact that the Merchant Kingdom received a large number of horses and sheep from the Aztecs - this allowed ships bound for the New World to carry less livestock and more people, so the The number of Ming immigrants in the New World increased again. The Yin family in the New World also annexed many small Indian tribes during their march eastward, causing their population to surge. Adding in the 3,000 households Zhu Celing brought there, there were almost 30,000 households!
Of course, the 30,000 Mongolian households could pose a great danger to the European colonists in the New World, but this force cannot be used easily because it is too precious and cannot be consumed!
Therefore, the Ming court also made a plan to fully arm the Aztec Kingdom - the Aztec Kingdom itself had already formulated a plan to arm all its people, and had been carrying out necessary organization and training - this country was always in a state of war. On the verge of extinction (not destruction, but extinction), so the sense of crisis is overwhelming. Almost all men who can hold a gun must participate in military training regularly and are always ready to go to the battlefield and fight for the survival of the Aztecs under the blessing of the Holy One! However, the Aztec country's handicraft industry was not very developed, and it could not produce enough arms to equip hundreds of thousands of people. It could only rely on the Ming Dynasty to supply... And so many arms were valuable to the Ming Dynasty, and even more It cannot be taken out easily. Therefore, Zhu Heji has never approved the provision of sufficient armaments to the Aztecs, and now the matter is a bit urgent and cannot be delayed any longer. So he finally made the decision to go to the New World with Zhu Celing with a large number of guns, ammunition and artillery!
The Indians in the New World must have enough muskets!
