Chapter 1017 Fight Back to the UK!
Nanjing City. Chen Ming received www.biquge.info the news that the North American clipper had arrived, and China and the United States had gone to war. The British, of course, did not intervene in the war, but the great chief of the Shawnee, Tecumse, came together with the Americans. It's a big cover-up.
Everyone knows that Tecumseh is an Indian chief vigorously supported by the British, and Chen Ming also knows Tecumse. After years of hard work, many chiefs and military governors of Indian tribes had direct contact with Tecumse, and also recognized Tecumse.
Tecumxay then organized an Indian force based on the Shawnee at the intersection of Tipekanlou Bay and the Wabussu River, and established a tribal defense alliance. At first, there were as many as 5,000 participants, all of whom were warriors of the Shawnee, Derawak, Otibwe, Ottawa, Kekapo, and Pothawotomi, and now the armed force has expanded to tens of thousands. Its political organization took the form of a 'republic' and opposed unequal agreements imposed on the Indians by outsiders. Tecumsa argued that the land belonged to all the Indians, that no tribe had the right to claim ownership of a particular piece of land, and that no tribe or part of a tribe could transfer ownership of the land without the consent of all the Indians. This kind of thinking and this joint force is a threat to both China and the United States.
This idea of Tecumsa was spread so successfully that it could be said to be a new Indian national movement.
If this kind of thinking can be spread among the Indians for several decades, there is no guarantee that the Indians will really be able to become a people and create an independent state. And not a loose tribal union.
Chen Ming paid close attention to Tecumse, because the combined arms he held in his hands were the most powerful force among the American Indians today.
Now that force is on the side of the United States. Presumably, the Americans gave up a lot of interests, and the British must have made a deal out of it.
As everyone knows Tecumse, an ally of the British, the great chief of the Indians, known for his bravery and skillful warfare, fought against the American army many times in his youth to defend his homeland, and defeated the invader Governor St. Clair in 1791, he began to train his tribe's army in the same way as the Western army. In 1803, after the French sold Louisiana to China, he and his twin brother (nicknamed "The Prophet") launched a revival self-defense movement in Ohio, based on the tribal alliance, calling on all Indians to unite against the invasion of whites and Chinese, calling on Indians to get rid of alcoholism, stop ceding land, promote native religions, form tribal alliances, and begin to receive British funding. In recent years, efforts have been made to form a grand alliance of Indian tribes in the Midwest.
Historically, Tecumseh played for the British in the Second Anglo-American War. He was killed in battle in 1813 and was torn apart by the U.S. military. And now in this time and space, he has become Lao Mei's comrade-in-arms.
Although Chen Ming did not know the tragic outcome of Tecumse's history, he knew that Tecumse's enemies after forming the Indian Tribal Confederation were mainly Americans rather than China. In fact, in recent years, although there have been many conflicts between China and the Indians in the Louisiana region, the tribal alliance with Tecumseh has always been well water and river water. Even if Tecumseh planned to form a grand Indian alliance, the spearhead of which was directly aimed at China and the United States, and the framework of the grand alliance included some Indian tribes who had migrated inland from the west coast, so that the anti-China tendencies within it became more and more obvious, but Chen Han's relationship with him was far better than that of the Americans.
Now that the two sides are going to meet each other, the Indians still help their former biggest enemy, the Lighthouse State, and I have to say that it is a creation to make people.
"The British are too comfortable to live a small life."
Chen Ming looked at the British Isles on the map, and his psychological side couldn't help but be angry. The British are really a-stirring stick, do they have their stirring everywhere, no matter how deep the manure tank is, they dare to stir it.
"Your Majesty, we should let the European Office question Britain first. Then let Mysore, Gurkha and other countries start a war against the Marathas. Instigated the Sikhs of Northwest India to become independent. ”
Napoleon's France had lost its unique position in the Hydebara palace, and the French instructors in the Maratha army had been replaced by the British, and now France had completely withdrawn from India. The Marathas, on the other hand, quickly changed course and merged with the British. It would be impossible to say that there was no influence of Chen Han here.
Chen Han has been expanding his influence in India over the years, but there are certain contradictions between several objects supported by Chen Han and the Marathas, and the Marathas and the British are huddled together for warmth. If Chen Han now ordered his subjects to launch an offensive against the Marathas, he would be priing the British corner. But this is also a for a tooth for the British!
Wang Qi, the new head of the Cabinet Office, said so.
There is no need to wait for a reply from the European Office, just let Mysore and Gurkha do it, and then talk about it.
Wang Qi is a person who has not been recorded in history, and in the history of the original time and space, he may have been just a peasant, a trader, and an inconspicuous little bureaucrat, who walked through his life in obscurity. But in today's time and space after the change, the 55-year-old Wang Qi has 38 years of political experience, starting from the most basic civil servant, and has risen step by step to his current position.
In the competition for the next cabinet chief, he even overwhelmed Xiao Lou. Wang Qi's successful appointment as head of the Cabinet Office is a clear example. And at the resolution of the meeting at the highest level of Chen Han, he also has the qualifications to speak.
"Ireland, although completely annexed by the British, was not without resistance within it. At one time, Napoleon had supported him materially and financially. But after 1805, Napoleon abandoned this action. We could have put on the vest of the French and give a second support to the Irish Liberty. Wang Qi continued. Striking at the Marathas was only an indirect blow to the British, and supporting the Irish was a direct wound to the British.
"Then there is the fact that the British and the Austrians are constantly approaching, and the intelligence shows that the Austrians are vengeful, and it is likely that Napoleon and the main force of the French army will be trapped in Spain to collude with the British again and set off a fifth wave of anti-French. His Majesty could trust His Majesty the Sultan of Istanbul and ask Selim III to mobilize the Ottoman border guards, as well as the troops of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldova, for a military exercise in Transylvania, Austria. ”
Wallachia, Moldova, and Transylvania, where Austria has the upper hand, combined together are the later Romania.
Transylvania was Austria's easternmost territory and became the starting point for the Austrians to defend and attack the Ottoman Empire. If the Ottomans had conducted a military exercise there, Austria's energy would have been drawn over. This naturally affected Austria's war against France, and to some extent helped Napoleon. And Chen Han helped Napoleon, which was equivalent to a blow to London.
Chen Ming's eyes moved, and what Wang Qi said boiled down to one sentence - to block the British.
Didn't the latter block Chen Han in the Americas, then Chen Han had no choice but to block the British in Europe.
Napoleon's two or three hundred thousand French soldiers are now mired in the Spanish quagmire, and although 1808 was a year of declining Spanish population, the Spaniards also used this war of blood and fire to reshape their image.
The Battle of Zaragoza, in which the French army surrounded the city for several months, finally captured the outlying fortifications of the city in early 1809. and stormed into the city. But in the city, the French army faced unprecedented heroic resistance. Every house was turned into a fortress, and every hut, stable, basement, and penthouse had to be captured by a battle. This fierce fighting lasted for three weeks in the city, which had been occupied by the French army, and the French soldiers slaughtered everyone, including women and children, indiscriminately. Because, at the slightest negligence on the part of the French soldiers, women and children would kill them. The French army 'annihilated' 20,000 guards and more than 30,000 city dwellers. Lana, who commanded the French army, was a brave cavalryman who had participated
After all the fierce battles commanded by Napoleon, there was hardly the word 'fear' in his mind, however, such a man was also in front of him
The frightened scene shook as the bodies of countless men, women, and children lay side by side in the bloodied streets, and the city was dead silent.
The year 1809 came, and Napoleon's official attack on Spain would be more than half a year old. The war in Spain was far from over, and the flames of anti-French fire were still burning in the spring of 1809. The brave and fearless Spanish people held Napoleon's 300,000 elite troops in tow, and Napoleon now has to admit that the 'opposition' of the European Office was correct, and that he has felt the heavy burden of his own ambitions, but he must still persevere. Because this war is about the dignity of France, about the dignity of Napoleon's empire.
But at Astorga, however, Napoleon handed over command to Sirte and hurried back to Paris, as there was definite news that Austria would attack France in the spring.
Chen Ming did not know the situation in Europe yet, but he felt that Napoleon would definitely know about Austria's movements. This is because a country's armament war will produce very large fluctuations, and it cannot be concealed at all.
As a traditional army power in Europe, Austria has undergone a series of previous crushing defeats, and the entire army has undergone new changes.
In 1806, Archduke Karl, Austria's first general, was once again appointed chairman of the Supreme Military Council and commander-in-chief of the Austrian army. He continued the military reforms that he failed to complete during his previous tenure, first forming a general headquarters to command the whole army in a unified manner; Then the military academy was created and the reserve military service system was introduced; The army was reorganized, the cavalry was organized into several independent regiments, the artillery scattered in the infantry battalions was concentrated into wings, a medical corps, a military horse replenishment corps, and a military post office were set up, and a system of collecting military supplies on the spot was implemented to reduce the burden of military transportation. Through his vigorous reforms, the Austrian army has made many improvements in just a few years, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.
It's just that the Austrian army at this time must not have completed all the reforms, and Austria can't wait to collude with the British again, which shows that the great quagmire of Spain has a great impact on France.
Chen Han's two main opponents on the American continent, the Spaniards and the Americans, had been helped by the British, and the Spanish colonial authorities in the Americas might have ended the war in the winter of 1808 had not received support from the British in the second half of 1808.
The Spaniards would have lost both the viceroyalty of Colombia and Peru. The next place to face China is Argentina's Portugal.
But this was not the case, the Spaniards withstood it, they were supported by the British, and a large number of arms and military expenses were sent to the Spaniards by British merchant ships, so that Chen Han's main military power was still trapped in South America.
Austria's declaration of war on France in Europe was in fact similar to the Beacon State in North America against the Chen-Han War. All of them took advantage of the fact that the main force of the opponent was 'trapped' elsewhere and took advantage of the opportunity to speculate.
The history of the original time and space proves that the Austrians are stealing chickens and rice. And Chen Ming definitely has the confidence to suppress the United States.
There have not been a few good things like King Wu's war in thousands of years. Gou Jian's destruction of Wu also went through nearly ten years, from 482 BC when Wu Wangfu led the elite troops north to the Huangchi Huimeng and then raised troops to attack Wu, to the battle of Kaze in 478 BC, the main force of the Wu army was defeated, and then in 473 BC the Yue soldiers invaded the Wu capital, and the Wu State was destroyed, and it was fought for nearly ten years. The historical Gou Jian's destruction of Wu is not the legendary destruction of Wu in one fell swoop.
"The British are so annoying!"
