I saw that the city of Warsaw in the distance was not under attack, but many white flags had been raised.
This is because they are afraid that a white flag is not enough to express surrender. People who don't know it think that Poland uses the white flag as their flag!
Outside Warsaw, the armies of the Ming vassal states were chasing the fleeing European armies everywhere. Even the infantry were galloping to kill the enemy. They looked very hard at first glance.
In fact, these armies only have this role, just to fight against the wind! If they had been allowed to take the lead just now, they would have definitely collapsed in the face of the attacks from European armies!
Emperor Chongzhen scanned the battlefield. Although he had fought many battles and had seen many dead people, under the first display of new artillery and heavy machine guns, the enemy did not know how to effectively avoid them. This was really killing people. It's a bit much.
Seeing the corpses scattered in front of him, he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he sent a decree that the Ming army went to accept Warsaw and enter the city!
Emperor Chongzhen was still satisfied with the surrender of Warsaw City. Because he knew that almost all the food and supplies for European armies were stored in Warsaw.
It is understandable that the city defenders were desperate, but they were afraid that they would set fire to the city in despair. That would be a shame.
Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen came to the city and saw King William II of Poland lying on the ground, he praised him and told him not to be afraid and that he would not be liquidated.
This made William II overjoyed. For him, the Ming army was absolutely invincible. The rise and fall of European countries were all decided by the Ming Emperor. Now, he has saved his life and Poland.
Thinking this way, he immediately expressed his willingness to serve the Ming Dynasty and be the eagle dog of the Ming Dynasty, completely ignoring the death of so many Poles outside the city.
It was not until two o'clock, almost dusk, that the armies of each vassal country took the prisoners and gradually gathered in Warsaw.
At this time, the city of Warsaw had been taken over by the Ming army. Above and below the city were soldiers of the Ming army.
Alexei looked excited. He was still far away from Warsaw, so he dismounted and walked. After arriving at the city gate, even when facing the low-level Ming military captain guarding the gate, he respectfully reported: "The king of the small country of Tsarist Russia has completed his purpose of pursuing the enemy and came to reply to His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
Just before the war, he did not have such a respectful attitude. However, without anyone asking him, he became like this.
Not only him, but also the generals of other vassal countries are all similar.
The shock of this battle was something they would never forget, and the joy of hunting down enemies from all over Europe also gave them a lifetime of bragging rights.
The results of the battle gradually came to Emperor Chongzhen. The 710,000 European troops captured at least 300,000 cavalry, and the remaining casualties and those who escaped had not yet been accounted for.
On the battlefield in Warsaw, an unknown number of people were killed by artillery, and more of the cavalry were killed by heavy machine guns. It is estimated that it will take at least a day to count these. As for the performance of the chase, it is actually not worth mentioning. If it were anyone who chased him, he would have achieved good results.
At night, bonfires were lit everywhere outside the city, and soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's vassal states sang and danced around the bonfires. They were so happy that they seemed to have won the war.
By the next day, their cavalry continued to scatter in pursuit of the enemy, while their infantry began to clear the battlefield in Warsaw. Three days later, the cleanup outside Warsaw was completed.
There were too many corpses to bury, so they had to be piled together, burned and then buried. The land before the Ming army's position was all stained red with blood. The smell was astounding and attracted countless flies and insects. In the end I had to burn it too.
The vassal national cavalry troops who went out to pursue them returned one after another and took back about 100,000 enemy prisoners.
Only then did the approximate results come out.
Of the 710,000 European military alliance, about 410,000 were captured, and about 80,000 were killed by artillery fire and heavy machine guns in Warsaw. In addition, about 200,000 were chased and killed by the troops of the vassal countries. , there were less than 30,000 enemies who escaped, and they were probably all cavalry.
It took another three days to roughly count the prisoners.
King Carl X Gustaf of Sweden was unlucky and was killed by a cannonball. Most of the elite troops he brought were killed by artillery shells and heavy machine guns.
On the French side, the famous general Da Kongdai led the cavalry charge, but he was also killed by heavy machine guns. Even though his protection was better than that of other French soldiers, he still didn't escape.
Another famous French general, Turenne, was lucky this time. He was overturned by a cannonball and was only slightly injured and captured. In the original history, he was killed by a stray bullet during the war.
As for the French army, about half were captured, few escaped, and almost all the others died.
Cromwell, the British protector of the country, was hit by a bomb and lost a leg. Although he received medical treatment, he died in pain for three days. His head was cut off, treated with lime, and prepared to be sent back to England.
………………
In short, in this war, the armies of various European countries, whether they were officers or soldiers, whether they were famous generals or ordinary generals, were all treated equally under the attack of the Ming Dynasty's new artillery and new firearms.
Six days later, Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree ordering the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty to continue attacking other countries. Except for Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands, other countries accepted surrender.
Both Ahmed and Alexey were overjoyed when they heard this decree. Because this will is the will they most expect and like the most.
The elite armies of various European countries have been wiped out in this battle, and the remaining enemies must have been frightened by the news. It can be said that the next attack will be very smooth and have many benefits.
As a result, the Ming vassal states were very active and immediately led the order to attack European countries.
As for the approximately 410,000 prisoners captured in Warsaw, Emperor Chongzhen ordered them to dig a canal, which later became known as the Suez Canal. During the long journey, some people will definitely die, and while digging the canal, another group will die, but who made them defeated!
However, the Ming army did not abuse them. Instead, as always, they announced that they would be free after the canal was built. This will stimulate their enthusiasm and speed up the opening of the canal.
The original Suez Canal was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty in controlling Europe. Therefore, the sooner the canal is built, the sooner Europe can be completely controlled.
However, this still deviated from Emperor Chongzhen's original goal.
Originally, what he envisioned was to leave some European countries as the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, lest there would be no enemies on the earth and the Ming Dynasty would become slack.
But unexpectedly, the situation developed and eventually reached a decisive battle. Then there was no choice but to conquer all of Europe. In the future, the earth will only be distinguished between the mainland of the Ming Dynasty and the vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty.
In the vassal states where the Ming vassal kings became vassal, Ming culture must be promoted. As for Tsarist Russia and the Ottomans, although there is no requirement, based on experience, they will consciously learn the Ming culture and move closer to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, these are all things for later.

On the Portuguese side, everyone, including the Portuguese and the Ming soldiers in Portugal, were very worried about the Battle of Warsaw.
After all, all European countries have mobilized their most elite infantry troops, which are said to number millions. Such a huge military force has never been seen on the European continent. Of course, the Portuguese understand how strong it is.
No, the atmosphere in the bar is no longer as jubilant as when they defeated the European United Fleet.
"We can't lose this battle!" Ludkin took a sip of hot rice wine and sighed.
The person drinking with him was his friend Raf. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes, if the Battle of Warsaw is defeated, the naval battle we won in Lisbon will be meaningless!"
"Actually, that's not the case. If the Battle of Warsaw is defeated, at least we can return to South America through the sea!" Someone else interrupted after hearing this.
Others listened and agreed.
They all understand the importance of land battles. Once the Ming army is defeated, Portugal will definitely not be saved.
If possible, who would be willing to leave their hometown and the hometown where they have lived all their lives?
When Mrs. Ludkin heard the conversation, she didn't even think about picking up the side dishes. She looked at Rafe and asked, "You go to the palace the most, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is also the commander of the Ming Dynasty fleet. What is their situation?"
"What other situations can there be? It's pretty much the same!" Raf heard this and said without any excitement, "They all mean that the army will win, but you also know that these are just high-sounding words, just like what you and I say. Say. After all, who wants the Ming army to be defeated? No one!"
Having said this, he paused and then added: "I also quietly asked Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, she was actually very worried. But she said that since the Ming Emperor made such a decision, he must be sure of it. We must believe in the Ming Emperor! After saying these words, she also told me the legend of the Ming Emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ludkin. He shook his head and said helplessly: "But the enemy this time is extraordinary. I heard that the British Protector also went, so he didn't fight. The man who lost the battle and beheaded the king, and the famous French general..."
They gave examples one by one, and the longer they talked about it, the less confident they became. After all, compared to the East, what they are most familiar with is the war in Europe. I feel that together with all these famous players in Europe, they are really very powerful. No matter how powerful the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, he couldn't be more powerful than so many people combined, right?
The more he listened, the more irritated he became. Raf simply stood up, stopped drinking, and said, "Based on the time, the results of the Battle of Warsaw should be announced by now. I'll go squat in the palace and take a look."
After finishing speaking, he added: "This wine has no taste at all, bartender, you mixed it with water to fool people!"
