Vienna, the capital of Austria in later history, is also the famous "world music capital". Musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and other musicians have composed countless gorgeous music here, allowing Vienna to ring throughout the world with the music.

In fact, Vienna was also quite famous at this time. Of course, its fame was not spread by music. The reason why Vienna was famous at this time was because of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was once a well-deserved overlord of the entire continent. The territory of its heyday included modern Germany, Austria, northern and central Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, eastern France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, occupying almost half of the entire continent.

As the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, Vienna was the economic, cultural and political center of the entire continent for a long time, and was once called the heart of the continent.

However, the status of this heart is gone with the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War.

In later history, the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III was forced to sign the "Westphalia Peace Treaty" with the Anti-Habsburg Alliance after Thirty Years' War. The Holy Roman Empire was almost dismembered and never recovered until it perished.

In this life, because Ferdinand III's younger sister Princess Anna married His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the Holy Roman Empire did not fall to the bottom after obtaining a large number of weapons support from the Ming Empire.

In addition, the Ming Empire presided over the establishment of the Ming Habsburg Alliance, which helped Spain and Portugal withstood the attack of the anti-Habsburg Alliance. At the same time, it fought with Tsarist Russia, which restrained the main energy of the entire anti-Habsburg Alliance. The Holy Roman Empire was even thrown aside by the anti-Habsburg Alliance powers and ignored it again.

Logically, with such a good chance to breathe, the Holy Roman Empire should be able to regroup and rise again.

However, as Ferdinand II said, Ferdinand III could only be a wise ruler in prosperous times, but could not become a hero in troubled times. He was really kind-hearted, and he didn't know how to take the opportunity to organize a large army to capture all the princes in one go, but instead guarded several principalities to just live by!

However, if his failure to act, it does not mean that others will not act. As soon as the railway of the Ming Empire was built to Vienna, the telegram from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire followed.

The content of the telegram is very simple, just ask him how many troops he can assemble in a short period of time.

Since the Holy Roman Empire was an ally of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijing was quite familiar with the current situation of the Holy Roman Empire. Although he kept providing weapons support, the Holy Roman Empire is still the same as the current Holy Roman Empire, with many princes, and he would not miss their emperor at all.

If it weren't for the rush to find trouble for the Netherlands, Zhu Cijing would really be too lazy to care about his brother-in-law's affairs. You should know that the Holy Roman Empire has more than 300 princes at this moment. This number alone can make people feel numb. How long does it take to clean up one by one, and how much does it cost!

However, he couldn't do anything now, because there was a German alliance with many princes between the Netherlands and Vienna. If they didn't deal with them, the railway would not be built.

Zhu Cijing meant that his brother-in-law gathered the army and was about to start working.

Unfortunately, Ferdinand III was not a powerful lord who expanded his territory. He even thought about dealing with his disobedient princes. In short, he was not keen on war. He was a huge Holy Roman Empire, and all his troops were less than 300,000!

This was the result of the continuous support of the Ming Empire. If Zhu Cijiu had not supported more than 100,000 troops of weapons and equipment for him, he would probably have only 100,000 troops under his command.

In fact, Ferdinand III cannot blame him for not being enterprising. He also had a large area of ​​vast territory such as the Principality of Austria, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Principality of Silesia. He was not a master of great talent. It was enough for him to manage these territory alone. He did not have time to consider cleaning up other princes.

Regarding Zhu Cijiong's telegram, he mistakenly understood that this was the Ming Empire asking him to send troops.

Although he was not good at governing the country, he was not as good as the Duke of Gaston. He was quite familiar with the situation in the entire continent.

Now, the Ming Empire is facing the dilemma of multi-line combat.

In Tsarist Russia, more than 200,000 troops of the Ming Empire were defending the Wushan defense line, and they were also confronting the 400,000 coalition forces of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance on the front line of the Wuhe River;

In southern Spain, the Ming Empire's 600,000 naval and army coalition forces were defending the mouth of the Guadiana River and confronting the navy of the anti-Habsburg alliance powers;

In southern France, the Ming Empire and the Spanish coalition were confronting hundreds of thousands of French troops;

Moreover, the Ming Empire had to station the Eurasian Canal, South Asia, South Asia, and Siberia. What he knew was already terrifying enough.

He thought that the Ming Empire might not be able to hold on anymore, so he came to ask him for help.

The Ming Empire is the pillar of the entire Ming Habsburg Alliance. If it collapses, the entire Ming Habsburg Alliance will be over. He is still very clear about this.

So, he was so proud that he responded directly to Zhu Cijiong: The Holy Roman Empire can support the army of 200,000!

Only 200,000? Well, it's enough.

The Netherlands is now the core of the entire anti-Habsburg alliance, so Zhu Cijiu naturally cannot make them feel better. Now, the Eurasian Railway has been built to Vienna. No matter how much it is, it will be built to give them some colors.

At this moment, the Ming Empire's troops were indeed a little short of strength, but it was not as Ferdinand III imagined. It needed the Holy Roman Empire to support it. He wanted to unite the Holy Roman Empire to launch an attack on the Netherlands by land.

As for where the troops came from, he had already considered it. In some places, they could still squeeze out one or two legions if they squeezed a little. There was no big problem with gathering an army of 300,000.

First, he sent the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards, and ordered Shi Kefa to lead his 100,000 troops directly to Kandahar by train to join the First Corps of the Expeditionary Force.

Then, he contacted Sueman by telegram and asked him to mobilize heavy troops to station on the border between the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Safavi Empire to shock the Persian Safavi Empire.

Then, he ordered Qin Gongming to lead the Dingliao army from sea to the Eurasian Railway branch port on the Mediterranean coast, and from there to Vienna to gather.

Finally, he directly promoted Hou Shilu, the head of the First Legion of the Expeditionary Army, as the deputy marshal of the Army, and ordered him to lead the First Legion of the Expeditionary Army and the Second Legion of the Imperial Guard to Vienna to join the Dingliao Army and the 200,000 troops of the Holy Roman Empire there, launching an offensive against the princes of the German Alliance, and advancing while building railways, aiming directly at the Netherlands!
