The first thousand and fifty-four chapters of wealth are touching
Zhu Cixuan did not expect that Li Xin could rescue people under such circumstances. Although the news was twenty days ago, Zhu Cixuan believed that Li Xin would definitely escape with Charles II, after all, his reputation was there.
At the same time, I received news from Li Dingguo in Africa that this guy has set out with reinforcements, so Isn’t that the time it’s done?
If these two people were still in charge with two thousand reinforcements together, then Zhu Cilang really had to give up.
These two are people who can overthrow the Ming Dynasty. It is not a small problem to just an island.
At this time, what strategies and tactics should be deployed? It is estimated that the news will be sent there and the war will be over, so Zhu Cixuan can only delegate power.
This reminded Zhu Ciyang again of the idea of building an African railway from Li Dingguo. Somalia has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, but if the railway line is the shortest, it is undoubtedly the best solution to directly connect to the Nile River from the Red Coast.
Because if you start from southern Somalia, you have to pass through or bypass Ethiopia, and you have to break through the plateau and mountainous areas there. Without that technology, if you bypass it, you will be thousands of miles away and you will have to enter the desert.
If you want to build a railway from the Red Sea to connect the Nile River, the most suitable place is to Port Saiferje to Kena, which is already very close to the Sinai Peninsula. It is only a hundred miles away from the Suez Canal.
This is equivalent to building the railway on the face of the Ottomans. If you want to build the railway here, you have to deal with the Ottoman Red Sea Fleet first. However, if you handle the Red Sea Fleet, what is the difference between this and grabbing the Suez Canal?
Therefore, the military headquarters believed that this plan was a bit useless and could only make an alternative during war, unless these vassal states were strong enough to advance the front to the north of Saifer and Kina before the war began.
This possibility is not non-existent, it is just not very big.
The Ming Dynasty's continued enclosure in Africa has made the countries of Europa who have recovered from their senses rush to define their spheres of influence, and North Africa has always been the focus of the competition between Europa and Ottoman.
Especially near the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain did not reduce the scale of its garrison even when the civil war entered a critical node.
Now that the Thirty Years' War is over, Spain has focused on the management of the New World and the Strait of Gibraltar colonies.
As for the Luzon colony, Spain clearly realized that how long this place could last was entirely based on the mood of the Ming Dynasty, so it did not care about devastating development of the place.
In addition to burning wasteland and explosives, due to the surge in demand for copper in the Ming Dynasty, Spain in Luzon began to capture local people on a large scale and work in the mines.
It also provoked opposition between tribes and sold weapons, firearms and other things to these tribes, as if they wanted to make a fortune.
Zhu Cilang completely pretended not to see this. The Spanish thought they were smart and the Ming Dynasty was not stupid. The Ming Dynasty wanted the earth. As for the people, animals and plants on the earth, the Ming Dynasty was really not very interested.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has no ability to develop it now, and even if it is occupied, it will not develop it.
As for the war between tribes, the Ming Dynasty was even more happy to watch the fun. Even the Ming Dynasty supported some tribes to sell weapons. The more intense you fight, the better, and it would be better that the population would drop sharply.
Although the countries did not fully unite, the rapid expansion of the Ming Dynasty still made these people stop their work and see what the Ming Dynasty is going to do.
The defeated countries such as Spain and Austro-Hungary had no time to restrain the Ottomans, and the actions of the Ming vassal states in Egypt made them unable to sleep or eat.
According to the news received by the Jinyiwei, the Ottoman had begun to mobilize troops to clean up these Ming vassal states, then establish Egypt's subordinate relations, and re-define a new boundary with the Ming Dynasty.
It can be foreseen that Egypt will be very lively in the next period of time. The Ottoman's strength did not worry Zhu Cilang, because these vassal states had been integrated by the Ming Dynasty and they no longer fought alone. They should be able to fight with Ottoman for a long time.
The Ming Dynasty's intervention in Britain made Europa very uneasy, especially the Netherlands, which was even more uncomfortable. If it hadn't recovered from the tulip incident recently, the Netherlands would have wanted to compete with the Ming Dynasty on the sea.
The reason is very simple. There is no emperor in the Netherlands now. In theory, his regime is what the Ming Emperor hates the most. The Ming Emperor would not hesitate to cross tens of thousands of miles of sea routes and bypass half of the earth, but also interfere in the war in Britain.
This made the Dutch very uncomfortable. If Britain is interfered with the parliament, will the Ming Dynasty interfere with them again in the next step?
This possibility is not lacking, not only is there but it is also very likely to be very large, so there has been an anti-narrow trend in the Netherlands.
Judging from the information from Europe, it was because the Netherlands was anxious to sign a contract with Spain to end the Eighty Years' War, and was busy fighting with Spain for the colony on the New World, and did not make any moves, otherwise, they might have started a war with the Ming Dynasty.
This incident forced Zhu Cilang to deal with it carefully. At this stage, the sea coachman is the overlord of the ocean, and he claims that there is a Dutch flag on every three merchant ships in the world.
If he is determined to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will not talk about global routes, and it is unknown whether it can protect the Pacific and Indian Ocean routes.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty must be the one who won the final victory. As the saying goes, in the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty had no intention of going to war with anyone and needed to rest and recuperate.
After the summer harvest and autumn harvest, the Ming Dynasty officially asked for the food crisis, and the entire cold wave cycle also heralds the past. At this time, there had been a few snowfalls in the northeast, and even the rivers were frozen.
However, the Liaohe River has been able to be opened so far this year, which makes Zhu Cixuan sigh that Chongzhen's luck is just one year away. Even if he persists for another year, things will turn around.
Of course, this is just to think about it. In fact, the already rotten Ming Dynasty has no turning point. Jiangnan is well preserved, and there is no turning point there.
Zhu Cixuan has been paying attention to the transportation of gold and silver in the northern border. Due to a leak, this batch of gold and silver took a major risk. The Jinyiwei was on high alert along the way and was also said that someone really took the risk to make the idea of this batch of gold and silver.
The bounty hunters gathered several former bandit villages and planned to block the river and rob. Anyway, the northeast is sparsely populated and winter is still there. After robbing in the wilderness, they could not find it for a while. There was another blizzard, and all traces were buried and then disappeared with the melting snow.
