Chapter 777: Spanish Mercenaries

After the Ming army occupied Bago, they rested overnight in Bago.

"The whole army is going to Rangoon!" On September 4, Zhou Cao, the commander of the Ming army, led 77,000 Ming troops to ride out of Bago and rushed straight to Rangoon.

The iron cavalry of the Ming army was mighty and magnificent, and there was almost no obstacle along the way to break through the small cities of Burma that passed by.

In just three hours, as the third small city also heard the wind and fell, the road to Yangon by the Ming army iron cavalry has been unobstructed, at most one and a half hours, the Ming army iron cavalry can come to Yangon city.

At this moment, in the city of Yangon, the news that the Ming army was about to come to the city has been spread in the city, and the people in the city are panicked, and even some people have begun to flee from Yangon, hoping to escape the war against Yangon.

In the palace of the Lord of Yangon, it has now become the temporary residence of the King of Burma.

The Burmese king was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Your Majesty! The Marquis of Larsy in Spain has arrived! "Guards came in to report to the king of Burma.

"Quick, come in Marquis Larsey!" The Burmese king said eagerly, with a lot of excitement and hope in his expression, as if this Viscount Larsi could help him defeat the Ming army.

However, in fact, the Burmese king really pinned his hopes for defeating the Ming army on the Marquis of Larsi, Spain.

The Marquis of Larsi was one of the most senior Spanish generals, and had been leading a Spanish army to fight for colonies with Britain and France in Africa, but unfortunately after several years of war, Larsi's Spanish army was defeated by the French ** team and lost Spain's last colony in Africa.

The Marquis of Larsi, who had lost his African colony, was not willing to return to China like this, but took a warship to East Asia, ready to see if he could get some harvest in the richest and most rich land in Asia.

The Marquis of Larsi's first stop in East Asia was Rangoon, Burma, at the invitation of the Burmese king, who had just met the Burmese king, who had brought him a great surprise to hire him to fight with his Spanish army.

What does this mean, it represents a lot of wealth!

After a while, the Marquis of Larsi, Spain, arrived.

"Marquis Larsey, can you really help me defeat the invading Ming army?" When the king of Burma saw the Marquis of Larsi, he immediately asked.

"Ou, my dear majesty, this is the eighth time you have asked me, I repeat, my Spanish Empire's army is invincible, my Marquis of Larsi once led two thousand Spanish invincible army in Africa to defeat hundreds of thousands of African natives, I have long understood the power of the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely not be the opponent of my Spanish invincible army!" Marquis Larsi said with great confidence.

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Larsi once again emphasized: "I only hope that Your Majesty will not forget your promise to me, after defeating the army of the Ming Dynasty, pay me enough property and a small piece of land!" ”

This was the main concern of the Marquis of Larsi, who would help the King of Burma fight for money and colonies. You must know that the price of the Burmese king's increase is equivalent to 1.5 million silver coins, and a piece of land with a radius of 8,000 meters, which is enough to make him tempted.

The Marquis of Larsi had long fantasized about how he could apply to the Empire to expand his army after receiving the equivalent of 1.5 million silver coins, and with the 8,000-kilometer radius of land provided by the King of Burma as a foundation, he could use it as a base to gradually occupy a larger colony in East Asia, and even gradually turn Burma into a colony of the Spanish Empire.

As for whether he can defeat the Ming army, the Marquis of Larsi has already won the battle.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always been the most mysterious and rich country in the eyes of the countries of Obarro, but twenty years ago, they Spain also sold cannons to the Ming Dynasty, according to the records of the Spaniards who inspected the Ming Dynasty at that time, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were still relatively primitive, not as good as their Obarro, and today, their Spanish cannons and muskets are more powerful than twenty years ago I don't know how much.

The indigenous army of the Marquis of Talarsi has fought a lot in Africa and the Americas, as long as the weapons are not as advanced as theirs, he can fight hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and listening to the king of Burma, the Ming Dynasty's army in this attack on Rangoon is at most 80,000.

Look, the army of 80,000 Ming can make the king of Burma so desperate, but the Marquis of Larsi led a full 7,000 Spanish invincible army to land in Yangon, relying on advanced artillery and flintlock muskets, there must be no problem in defeating the army of 80,000 Ming.

Seeing that the Marquis of Larsi was full of confidence, the king of Burma was also a lot more relieved.

"According to the news obtained by the spies, the Ming army has captured Bago yesterday, and now it may appear under the city of Yangon at any time, as long as the marquis can defeat the Ming army and drive the Ming army out of Burma, what is promised to the marquis will not be missing at all. It's just that I don't know how many troops the Marquis of Larsi prepared in order to defeat the Ming army! The King of Myanmar said.

Since the Spanish army had just landed, the Marquis of Larsi had been talking loudly, and the king of Burma did not know the specific situation of the Marquis of Larsi.

Faced with the question of the king of Burma, the Marquis of Larsi raised his hands and made seven fingers with a proud face.

"Seventy thousand?" The Burmese king was a little uncertain.

To say that the Spanish army of the Marquis of Larsi has been landing in Burma one after another, and how many people have landed, the king of Burma has not yet received the news, but he is sure that there should not be as many as 70,000.

Marquis Larsi shook his head and said, "No, no, no! It's 7,000, and I, the Marquis of Larsi, landed in Rangoon with an invincible army of 7,000! ”

"What? Seven thousand! The Burmese king's mouth opened wide, although he also knew that there should not be seventy thousand, but only seven thousand was something he did not expect.

How could the 7,000 Spanish army defeat the Ming army? The king of Myanmar said he did not have any confidence.

"Ou! Your Dear Majesty, don't underestimate the invincible army of our Spain, 7,000 men is already a lot, and in the Americas, I can occupy a colony larger than your Burma! "The Marquis of Larsi was clearly unhappy with the reaction of the Burmese king.

The 7,000 Spanish army was already all the troops he had at the moment, and the Marquis of Larsi once led an invincible army of 2,000 Spain, and defeated hundreds of thousands of African natives with less than 100 casualties. Not to mention Africa, he has also been to the Americas, in the Americas, he also led an army of 5,000 to defeat hundreds of thousands of American native armies with only a small casualty, and now he has 7,000 troops in hand, which is enough to defeat a million natives, a mere 80,000 Ming army, even if it is much stronger than the average native, encountering his 7,000 Spanish invincible army, except for defeat, there is no possibility of victory.

"But, but," the king of Burma could not finish when he was interrupted by the Marquis of Larsi.

"No, however, my Spanish army is invincible, and my Marquis of Larsi is also invincible, with only tens of thousands of Ming troops, as long as my army fights, I will definitely be victorious!" The Marquis of Larsey emphasized, with great firmness.

The king of Burma, Khan, is about to come out, it's not that he doesn't believe in the Spanish army of the Marquis of Larsi, but he has seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army with his own eyes, even if the Marquis of Larsi confidently boasted about how invincible their Spanish army was, but he didn't personally understand the strength of the Spanish army after all, seven thousand against nearly eighty thousand Ming troops, how could he not worry.

The Burmese king didn't have to worry for long, when a Burmese general ran in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Ming army still has five miles to go down to Yangon City!" The Burmese general reported to the Burmese king with a frightened expression.

"What! The Ming army is about to descend on the city? The Burmese king couldn't help but look terrified.

At this time, he could no longer care about whether the Marquis of Larsi's 7,000 Spanish army could defeat the Ming army, what he needed was someone to help him resist the Ming army, and at this moment, he could only rely on the Marquis of Larsi in front of him.

"Marquis Larsi, look," the King of Burma said as he looked at Marquis Larsi with a lot of anticipation.

"Hehe, dear His Majesty the King, take a good look at the performance of my invincible Spanish army, I promise to surprise you!" The Marquis of Larsi said with great contempt, and really did not take the Ming army in his eyes at all.

The Marquis of Larsi really regarded the Ming army as if it were the indigenous army he had encountered in other parts of the world, and did he not know that the Ming Dynasty had fought in Taiwan and the Netherlands, causing the Dutch to flee without temper.

It's also strange that the Marquis of Larsey has been fighting in the Americas and Africa all these years, and he hasn't returned to Europe for a long time, and many people may know about the Ming Dynasty's successive defeats of the Dutch army on land and sea in Europe, but after all, there is no such thing as radio in the world today, and the transmission of information is still very backward, especially for the Marquis of Larsey, who has been developing in remote places in Africa and the Americas for a long time, there is not much news that can be obtained, so the Marquis of Larsey really doesn't know that the Netherlands has been defeated by the Ming army many times, or maybe even if he knows, The Marquis of Larsey didn't believe it either.

All in all, there were too many indigenous armies from all over the world that were defeated at the hands of the Marquis of Larsey, and the Marquis of Larsey had the habit of ignoring the word natives whenever he heard it, saying that except for the British and the French, who had defeated him, the Marquis of Larsey had never taken the armies of any other country into account.
