Chapter 741: The Ming Army's Iron Cavalry Goes Deep in Europe (Three in One)(1/2)

After hearing this, Polish King Orwitzky agreed to Sobesky's advice and asked him to form a larger cavalry.

And it was not like in history that Sobesky's request was rejected.

Because he still remembered his miserable defeat in Poland near Warsaw a few years ago, not to mention that this empire from the East could even be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The Ming Empire at this time was in the eyes of the Poles.

It can be described in four words.

It's so scary!

The Polish King Orwitzky also took the initiative to ask Morozov, the exiled nobleman of the Rakshasa Kingdom who was taken in by him in Poland: "Mr. Morozov, please tell me what advantages do this Ming Empire from the East have in addition to being very difficult to deal with in terms of weapons and tactics, so that your powerful Rakshasa Empire will be destroyed! There is no hope of restoring the country yet."

After the Ming army occupied St. Petersburg and destroyed the Rakshasa Kingdom, Morozov, the exiled nobleman of the Rakshasa Kingdom, led several campaigns to restore the country, but they were defeated, replied: "The most terrifying thing about them is that they actually divided the land for our serfs! They treated our serfs like humans! Not only did they divide the land for them, but they would also give them rewards if the serfs participated in their work. In addition, they also provided medical treatment for the serfs and established medical clinics for these serfs."

"What!"

Ovitsky stood up in shock and asked in confusion: "Why did the Ming people do this? Shouldn't they punish these people who were born with sin on behalf of God?"

The Western Christ world believes that people are born with sin.

Otherwise, the Western colonists in history would not have been at ease to plunder people from other worlds. In their opinion, they represent the will of God to punish these sinful people.

Therefore, Orwitzky would believe that the Ming people would also punish the serfs of the Rakshasa Kingdom who were naturally sinful.

"This is not the most terrifying thing. What is terrifying is that they are still teaching these serfs to understand their words, and use sufficient food and cloth to induce the serfs of our Rakshasa Kingdom to worship their emperors and be grateful for their civilized gifts! The serfs who only want to eat their stomachs and not be frozen to death have betrayed their masters and countries, and become their obedient people!"

Sobesky also agreed at this time.

Morozov nodded and continued to say to Ovitsky: "Just as General Sobesky said, our serfs were all bribed by them! Our nobles in the Rakshasa Kingdom became isolated and helpless army, but the Eastern people became those supported by those serfs! Therefore, we were destroyed very quickly! This is a lesson."

"That's right! We have to be careful of the Ming Dynasty playing such a card to deal with our Poland. Even if everyone is brave, it is useless! Therefore, it's better for us to share the land with our serfs first."

Sobesky suggested.

"The insidious and despicable Ming people did this!"

Ovitzky said, then waved his hand and said to Sobesky: "It is impossible to do this. I can't convince all the nobles in the parliament!"

Then, Ovitsky sighed again: "However, what I didn't expect was that this Ming Kingdom was really a country with abundant resources and wealth. It could use so much food and cloth to buy the serfs of the Rakshasa Kingdom!"

The Ming Dynasty was indeed very supportive of the serfs who accounted for the vast majority of the population of Rakshasa.

After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Rakshasa Kingdom, it quickly established a relatively stable ruling system.

As a result, the exiled nobles of the Rakshasa Kingdom organized the rebellion, the rebellion was wiped out.

Even after the exiled nobles of the Rakshasa Kingdom returned to the Rakshasa Kingdom to rebel, they exploited too many serfs in the occupied areas and forced them to recover the serfs' land, forcing them to support the Ming army more.

This is the civilization advantage formed by the Ming Dynasty after its high productivity was highly developed.

The Ming Dynasty had enough financial resources to buy these serfs, which made these serfs willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty and even actively maintained the rule of the Ming Dynasty over them.

This is naturally impossible for the Polish and Lithuanian Federation, which is not productive enough.

That's why Owitzky opposed doing so.

The Ming Dynasty was able to organize a large number of Rakshasa serfs, and make these people build a large number of military facilities and transportation facilities in the Rakshasa Kingdom as workers.

Outside the city of Vyborg, a group of Rakshasa workers built a large number of castles under the command of Ming craftsmen.

This made Sobesky difficult to take advantage when he brought the expanded Polish cavalry to attack the country of Rakshasa.

It even gave the Ming people the opportunity to further deepen the hatred of Rakshasa serfs against the Polish nobles.

"The Polish ghost is here! The Polish ghost is here!"

When Sobesky led a team of Polish cavalry into the Pskov area and wanted to kill the local Rakshasa people who were originally serfs in the Rakshasa Kingdom, the local Rakshasa people had already come to report the matter to the Ming army.

The Ming army often gathered troops to attack these Polish cavalry for the Rakshasa people.

Even though the Polish cavalry fled the Pskov area before the arrival of the large-scale Ming army, they lost the hearts of the people in the Rakshasa Kingdom and did not bring them much benefits.

Because the Han people in the Ming Dynasty basically lived in castles, it was difficult for Polish cavalry to kill Han people in the Ming Dynasty, so most of the ones who were cut and killed by the Polish cavalry were already divided into fields and became Rakshasa serfs who had become self-cultivated farmers outside the Ming Pass.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty officials took the opportunity to publicize the sins of the Polish nobles, which made the Polish Kingdom do so only help the Ming Dynasty consolidate its rule in the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Against this background, because the central court of the Ming Dynasty determined that the focus of military attack was placed in the north, that is, the northeastern Europe, Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty approved the Rakshasa Kingdom area, and the serfs who had already joined the Ming Dynasty formed an army, and gave the army the name "Red Flame", which means burning the warm red flames of the East throughout Europe and bringing warmth to all suffering people.

Of course, the real reason is that the Ming Empire wanted to use the hatred of these Chinese-made Rakshasa people towards Poland and other countries to complete their great cause of unification.

The Rakshasa people are naturally willing, after all, this is an opportunity to improve their status among ordinary Rakshasa people.

"Let all suffering people in the world enjoy the warmth brought by the Emperor of Ming!"

Ukrainian Governor Zeng Baoming at this time issued a call in front of the mixed-race teenagers born to Han and Ukrainians who already belonged to a Chinese literature school in Kiev, Daming.

This group of mixed-race children heard it very passionately. At the beginning, they received education to popularize the benevolence of the saints to the world, educate people's hearts, cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country and pacify the world. Therefore, they did not question what was wrong with Zeng Baoming's words.

As the army drawn by the Ming Dynasty from other battlefields gradually concentrated into the Dnieper River and the Taoist Wa River, the troops of the Ming Empire on the northern line began to surge to nearly one million!

So much so that the number of Ming troops on the front line showed an overwhelming advantage over the number of troops in the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth.

This is still the case of Sobesky's large-scale expansion of troops.

However, there is nothing we can do about this. Now, compared with the Ming empire, these Western powers are relatively small no matter how they compare.

Even the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth, for them, the Ming Dynasty launched an offensive on a front with a depth of hundreds of kilometers was already a full-scale war.

But for the huge Ming Empire, it was just a local war.

After the old general Zhou Yuji came to Moscow and established the command base of General Dingxi here, he formally arranged an offensive plan. Not long after, he took the initiative to send a large army to attack the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth, starting the pace of the empire's continued expansion to the west.

Among them, a 200,000 army of the Ming army advanced directly from Kiev along the Dnieper River, and headed towards Minsk, the capital of Lithuania.

The other unit headed south along the Daogava River, with a total of 150,000 troops also coming to Minsk.

In addition, each department has formed a provincial Red Flame Army, and each Red Flame Army has no less than 50,000 troops.

The Polish rangers along the way could only retreat one after another.

They were afraid of head-on collision with the Ming army who were leading the way.

However, Sobesky did not wait for the Ming army to attack him. He had known from his spies among the Rakshasa people a few months ago that he had suddenly added a lot of information about the Ming army, and from this, he inferred that the Ming army would continue to use troops westwards, and he actively asked the king to ask for support from the Holy Roman Empire, the Swedish Kingdom and other countries.

King Ovitsky also cooperated and immediately sent messengers, even sending messengers to the Ottoman Empire, which they have always regarded as enemies in European countries.

Because the Ottoman Empire's sultans (kings) expressed their willingness to send troops to help stop the torrent from the East during their previous contacts with the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth.

At the same time, Sobesky had begun to mobilize troops from all over Poland and Lithuania, forming a Polish winged cavalry coalition of 120,000, ready to fight the Ming Empire.

"The Ming army has been divided into two groups, north and south, to attack the important city of Minsk!"

The Duke of Milin of Lithuania reported the latest situation of the Ming army to Sobesky and said: "They have more than 100,000 troops in each line. Although they are infantry, their lineup is neat and there are a large number of iron chariots to lead the way. It is probably not easy for us to attack any of them."

Sobesky looked at the map, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You said, if we switched to the Ming army, how would the commander of the Ming army deal with it?"

Milin said puzzledly: "Who can know this?"

“We must know!”

Sobesky replied, and said, "A few years ago, we, a large army of 300,000, formed by Sweden and Rakshasa, jointly attacked Moscow, occupied by the Ming Dynasty. As a result, they were defeated by the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and all three routes were defeated! This opponent was not as easy as we imagined. They had thousands of years of civilization, and war was also a very deep knowledge for them. The last defeat of the three routes was a lesson for us, including the battle of the more than 200,000 main forces of the Rakshasa Kingdom attacking the Ming Dynasty! The commander of the Rakshasa at that time was also a famous general, and also a crushing defeat!"

"I asked some officers who returned from a crushing defeat last time. They said that in addition to the powerful firearms, the army has a strong organization. Whether it is charge or retreat, it is very orderly, just like parts of a machine, each performing its own duties. So, I think, if I were the Ming army, since there is a detachable army, why should I fight hard with an army above myself, but should look for a fatal but weak place to attack!"

Milin said.

Sobesky nodded and said, "What's hateful is that the writing of orientals is too difficult to learn! If I had not learned since childhood and was in this context, it would have been too difficult to learn by myself with a few books, so that I still don't know the specific content of their "The Art of War"! Even the literati sent from the Ming Dynasty could not translate the true meaning well, so I cannot accurately understand the military thinking of these orientals now."

"You are right, but you can also know a little about the Ming Dynasty's battles against Rakshasa and the three battles against our Three Kingdoms coalition forces. They used their troops to be cunning and did not stick to the battle. When the enemy's vision was concentrated on a battlefield, they turned the enemy's front line, the rear, and even the rear of their own on the battlefield on the spot, and then played various temptations to take the initiative to attack, but gathered together, or seemed to be trying to attack this city, but ambushed you halfway through your reinforcements. These cunning Easterners seemed to have turned commanding a war into making a work of art."

Duke Milin said.

"That's the reason! Therefore, we have to learn from it and not rescue Minsk! Go to attack Kiev and cut off its food route! At that time, the southern army of Ming Dynasty will be destroyed without attacking!"

Sobesky said.

"But we are mainly cavalry."

Duke Milin said.

"This is unexpected. I have asked the Royal Army Lieutenant General Lloyd Lorraine, who led the Austrian 20,000-infantry artillery, to go directly to Kiev. If we count the days, we will meet there and then rely on Austrian artillery to attack the city."

After Sobesky said, he said, "I hope the Ming army will not see through our strategy."

...

"Soldiers are tricks! Hehe, this Sobesky, no matter how good you Jinyiwei said after investigating him, I can let him know what the war is going on. He won't really think I want to play with him, right?"

Zhou Yuji is not as serious as Lu Xiangsheng, so even though he is now the commander of a million troops, he doesn't speak very seriously in front of his subordinates, and he smiles from time to time, but this makes him live long and healthy, and he can undertake heavy military command tasks.

Now, Zhou Yuji talked about his thoughts to Zhu Cizhuo and Wu Ya and other generals around him, and it seemed that it was not serious, but in fact it was teaching them.

At this time, Zhu Cizhuo took the initiative to ask: "What does the Duke of the State mean to not play with him?"

Zhou Yuji said, "Just! Who is he? Why does he have to send a large army to play with him? This commands a million troops, instead of leading an army alone, but only staring at the same time! My name means, ignore him first, first set off to fight Minsk, and then draw out the three independent Cossack independent cavalry divisions belonging to the Red Flame Army, totaling more than 30,000 people, as well as the 50,000 horse-riding infantrymen you lead, totaling 80,000 people. Start directly from Kiev, pass Vinnica, and loot the rear of Europe until Vienna, Austria!"

“Vienna, Austria?”

Wu Ya asked in surprise, and he had to admit that He Guogong's thinking was very prone, so he asked: "Didn't you destroy Poland?"

"Don't worry! When the Jun order issued by the Privy Council, we asked us to take the initiative to attack on the northern line, but we didn't say that we only wanted to attack Poland. This time, I wanted to clean up him and Austria together, and sweep him wherever the troops went!"

Zhou Yuji said Wu Ya without hesitation.
