Chapter 900

Madrid really became an undefended city, and when the 53rd Division of the Ming Infantry attacked overnight, when it approached the outskirts of the city, the resistance of the Spaniards stopped, and the whole city was in chaos, and the rising pillars of smoke could be seen in the distance?

Anyone who has been fighting a war knows that this thing is not a self-immolation, but someone is taking advantage of the fire to rob it. Needless to say, the defeated army, the idle people in the city, etc., are the main force in doing this.

In the face of this kind of thing, the Ming European Expeditionary Force has been able to deal with it extremely skillfully. Entering the city is for sure, and finding someone robbing is doing this? It's simple, a platoon of guns is over, and then let's talk about killing it. Naturally, someone came to hang the street lamp behind him!

This is the capital of Spain, we didn't start grabbing it, you actually grabbed it first, how can you bear this? Just when a group of Ming officers and soldiers were gearing up to make a windfall, the most hated crowd appeared, a group of black-clothed people, wearing helmets, with gendarmes printed on the left and law enforcement on the right. Everyone who is a soldier knows that as long as these grandsons appear, everyone's dream of making a fortune will be shattered. This is a signal, there is a gendarmerie and there is no gendarme, it is completely two different concepts. As the saying goes, "The gendarmes are not active, everyone grabs them casually, and the gendarmes come quickly, go back to the camp and eat themselves." ”

Seeing the galloping military police horses, the soldier's face was full of disappointment. But it can't be helped, this is the army, discipline is above all else. Who dares to break discipline, it is a trivial matter to be arrested, and it will be fatal to be sent home directly. So, in the whole European expeditionary force, the gendarmerie is the last thing.

Not being able to rob casually does not mean that you can't rob, so those defeated soldiers and gangsters who took advantage of the fire to rob were unlucky. The troops ran faster than the rabbits, grabbed the heads of the people in a hurry, and then turned the results of other people's robberies into their own. Madrid is so big, how many gendarmes are there? As long as they don't make a big noise to rob or do something inhumane, the gendarmes are also human.

August 20th. At the end of the morning, the whole of Madrid was quiet, and the streets were full of "street lamps", and the corpses swaying in the wind shook Xiaoxiao fiercely. After a morning of rectification, the public order was much better than it had been during the Kingdom of Spain. According to statistics. About 3,000 people have become street lamps, and the Ming soldiers have a lot of things, and they don't have time to educate and reform these people, so these people all go to see God.

The legendary man-eating demons, on this day in Madrid, embody what it means to be a civilized division. Except for the suppression of Xiaoxiao, not a single disturbance to the people has happened. Some businessmen who made a living, pretending to have the guts to send some food to those "demons", unexpectedly got money. Despite being Huayuan, it is in the hearts of the people of Madrid. It's incomprehensible.

The people who received Huayuan will naturally think of using it, and it's a pity that this thing is rotten in their hands. But soon they didn't have to worry, and some Spanish merchants appeared in time to exchange these Chinese dollars for relatively low prices. The black market is ubiquitous, as long as there is demand. There will be a market.

One hundred thousand troops of the Ming Empire were stationed in Madrid, and every soldier had to spend it. In just a few days, a large number of Chinese dollars were circulating in the city of Madrid. These Huayuan eventually fell into the hands of some businessmen who died for money, but they knew very well the relationship between Huayuan and silver.

For ordinary citizens, everything is so unreal. The law and order in the urban area is super good, the occupiers buy and sell fairly, and they also help maintain order. The market soon returned to normalcy and was even more prosperous than before, if it weren't for the red flags that could be seen everywhere over Madrid. It's all wonderful.

The prosperity brought to Madrid by 100,000 garrisons is like the arrival of 100,000 tourists in a modern city. These tourists don't pay for staying in hotels, and their other expenses are amazing. Of course, 100,000 sturdy men will inevitably have some in-depth relationships with women in the city, basically giving money. Even if the woman is reluctant, leaving the money is not a strong X. Well, this is the logic of the bastards of the occupying forces, in fact, the gendarmerie also only cares about whether or not money is given for what is done.

Although this is a kind of abnormal prosperity, in just half a month, peace in Spain has indeed been restored, and the army of the Ming Empire has not continued to move north, let alone crossed the border into the French Empire. Of course, at this time, the most entangled was the British Empire, and their army major general Henry brought back the notice of the Ming Dynasty. Unconditional surrender, withdrawal from the war, huge reparations. These things are unacceptable to the British. However, whether to accept or not to accept is not the final say of the UK, the world is about fists. The steam armored fleet of the Ming Empire converged again to cover the landing of a marine division in Gijón. After landing in this place, the army of the Ming Dynasty did not move at all.

The reason for landing in this small place is for the coal mines here, and the fleet needs coal supplies, and the best way is to solve it on the spot. After settling in this small place, the entire Daming European fleet could land at any coastal point in Europe.

For Europe, the defeat of the Spanish War can be said to have entered a long dark period. The landlocked countries are a little better, and the coastal countries really dream of the red flag of the Ming fleet. The Portuguese took the lead and sent envoys to negotiate. However, the commander of the Ming Empire Expeditionary Force refused to negotiate on the grounds that he had not received an order from his superiors.

Interestingly, throughout the course of the Spanish War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which had been clamoring, immediately sent a mission to negotiate with the Afrika Korps of the Ming Empire after learning of the results of the Spanish War, and after not seeing large European ships in the entire Mediterranean, even the large army that was originally preparing to enter Africa began to shrink.

Undoubtedly, the Ottoman Turkish mission received a cold reception. All they got was a notice, unconditionally signed a contract, completely renounced all the territories of the empire in Asia, and compensated the Ming Dynasty with 50 million Chinese dollars.

Of course, there is no need to talk about such conditions, and Ibrahim, who was blushing with a red face, could only helplessly take the difficult suffering of the mission, waiting for domestic news, you must know that what Daming opened was not a condition, but a notice.

The only one who is still clamoring for battle is the French Empire. Louis XIV continued to cheer up the countries of Europe and constantly increase his troops at home. But he didn't send another soldier out of the country. For a time, France became the last flag of Europe, with a high-profile voice, surpassing Britain and the Holy Roman Empire.

In fact, Britain is the worst now, and the island country does not have the protection of a strong navy, so I really don't know how life has passed. Don't think about admitting defeat and paying indemnities, it's worse than killing those people in the British cabinet. Let's prepare for the battle! This is the only option, the problem is that Britain's national strength is not good, its strength is based on the strength of the navy, and it is raided in colonies all over the world.

Now Britain, the navy is no longer strong, and the battle of Gibraltar broke the backbone of the British Royal Navy. Without the protection of the navy, for Da Ming, Britain is a naked woman, and she can get it from all angles. But then again, it is impossible for the Ming to land in the UK, for the simple reason that it is unprofitable. England is not France, and there really is no worthy target in this place.

But before we can engage France, we must first solve the British maritime power and relieve our worries. Otherwise, the warships of this country are moving around to fight guerrillas, and there will still be a lot of trouble. Putting on a posture of landing in the UK, forcing it to focus on land. After cleaning up France, it would be easy to turn around and clean up Britain again.

In mid-September, the European fleet set sail again, and black clouds appeared at the outlet of the Thames. The whole of Britain was in a panic, and the artillery of the main fleet bombarded the fortress from outside range. Once again, the theorem that the fleet could not compete with the fortress was staged, and the fleet withstood the artillery fire of the fortress and used more ferocious artillery fire to clean the surface of the fortress that the British were proud of.

The cannons, which the British thought could exert great power, hit the body of the capital battleship, and the damage caused was negligible. On the other hand, the power of large-caliber naval guns taught British cast-iron cannons how to make guns in minutes. After the main fleet suppressed the fortress cannons with naval guns, the fast cruiser pair washed the buildings on the shore. A detachment of marines landed at the mouth of the river, and after going ashore, set fire to the shipyard, warehouse, and other buildings that the British had managed to restore with great difficulty, and burned them to the ground again.

After doing all this, the Ming fleet turned south and visited Portsmouth, repeating the same scene again. The docks, the shipyards, and the warehouses were all burned to the ground, and Britain wept in the flames. As long as it is a ship, it is found on the sea, and the result is to sink, even if it is a small sampan, the Ming fleet will not let it go, catch up and sink it.

For a month from mid-September to mid-October, the Ming European fleet circled around Britain, and went over to do it in a port, swaggering, even if there were careful precautions, they could not escape a catastrophe. According to the British themselves, in a whole month, the European fleet of the Ming Empire caused losses of no less than five million pounds to the British. Not to mention the ground buildings, as far as the ships are concerned, even if they are hiding in the port, the number of ships that have been sunk by the Ming fleet is more than three hundred. Escape from the British Isles is on the lips of the shipowners during this month. Because no one knows when and where the fleet of the Ming Empire will appear.

Even if Europe is hit, there is also a fleet in the Americas that is rampant in the Atlantic. Although this fleet is all sail warships, its number exceeds a hundred, and the sea power of the Ming Empire is fully exposed at this time. A continental empire, when his attention is on the sea, the energy that erupts is too amazing. (To be continued......)
