Chapter 857: World War I
Night is falling, and a full moon hangs high in the sky.
The stars and moon flickered on the surface of the sea, reflecting the mighty fleet of the Great Song Expeditionary Force slowly moving northwest.
It has been seven days since it entered the Red Sea, and if nothing else, early tomorrow morning, the fleet will reach Suez, at the end of the Red Sea.
At this time, Tang Yizhuo sat his head right, without any sleep, looking at the bright moon in the sky, in a daze.
....
"The moon is so big."
A voice interjected behind him, and he didn't have to look back, he knew that it was Cao Laoer.
Shook his head lightly, "It's quite big, but I always feel that something is missing." β
Cao Jue handed a jar of wine to Tang Yi, "The moon is still rounder at home..."
Tang Yi nodded in agreement...
The moon must be placed with home to have a feeling.
simply sat on the ground with Cao Laoer, leaned on the fence, touched the altar and drank... Admire the moon in silence.
Long.
"Am I really causing you trouble?"
With the help of the moonlight, Tang Yi took a good look at Cao Jue, and it was really not easy to make this reckless man admit his mistake.
smiled indifferently, "It should be considered right.... What could have been solved by spending money may now have to be fought. β
Cao Jue was silent for a while, "I'll rush to the first one, and it can be regarded as making amends for you." β
Tang Yi frowned...
"Reparations?"
"Reparation!" Cao Jue took a sip of wine and nodded heavily. "The first shot is to listen to you...."
"The second cannon .... It really shouldn't. β
looked at Cao Jue playfully, "Then why did you put the second shot?" β
Cao Jue shrugged, "You know me, sometimes.... Can't take it. β
Tang Yi agreed with this very much, "Indeed...."
"If you weren't impulsive, you wouldn't run away from home, and you wouldn't have tattooed words on your head."
Grimace!
"But this time, you shouldn't be impulsive.... It's a big deal! β
Cao Jue was bitter, "I also know it's wrong... Or... You beat me up? With proper military law? β
"Humph!" Tang Yi snorted coldly, "If you talk about military discipline.... When chop! β
"It's a pity...."
His face softened, and he raised the wine jar and leaned towards Cao Jue....
"You're my brother."
"That's all, that's enough!"
Cao Jue was stunned there, and after a while, he raised the wine jar and bumped into Tang Yi!
Bang!!
"Brother..."
Tang Yi nodded, "Brother!" β
"So.... Don't say anything about making amends and not making amends! β
Take another sip, slumped against the fence, and continued with a flushed face looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"You and I are a kind of human being, neither noble nor wise..."
"A layman!"
"What's so special that you will be punished even if it's far away? That's for the sake of face. β
"Lao Tzu is here to save my brother!"
"Revenge for my brother!"
He turned his head and smiled at Cao Jue, "People have to be humane when they live." β
"Otherwise, even if you step through the heavens and ask the Supreme... Ho Cool!? β
"It's just cold corpse minced meat!"
"Tut-tut..."Cao Lao Er smashed his mouth.... recalled Tang Yi's words.
"It's different if you've read a book, and it can make you all right."
"Hah!!" Tang Yi laughed, and then drank with Cao Jue.
The haze in my heart for many days is gone!
said that Cao Jue was bad, why didn't he?
This expedition was not a comprehensive plan in the first place, a move to measure the situation! And why bother to find faults! Do you have to follow the script?
If you can't cheat it, then grab it! How old is it?
Just as I was thinking about it, the shouting sound of the lookout post of the head ship came from the night sky!
Tang Yi was shocked! I can vaguely hear the word land...
Hurriedly stood up and looked forward....
Suez, it's here.
....
ββββββββββββ
At the same time, Rome.
The nobles and servants of Rome also learned from the Arabs that the Great Song Dynasty was coming.
Pity.... The Romans would have been mistaken. Or rather... Their calculations have gone astray.
Instead of being afraid, they were very excited!!
The weight of the more than 100 ships of treasure in their hearts in the intelligence obviously exceeded the weight of more than 100 ships of soldiers!
In their opinion, those Arab pagans were not so terrible in the first place. Today's churches are beginning to give commoners and slaves the right to fight for God. The armed forces that were isolated from the kingdom had begun to take shape and began to work.
The knights under the bishop had already proved this in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal). In the not-too-distant future, Sicily will soon be able to return to the arms of God from the pagans.
The Bishop was even considering whether he could go on an expedition to Asia Minor and retake the Holy City.
Furthermore, they also did not pay attention to the Great Song Expeditionary Force, which the Seljuks did not dare to fight.
However, the Romans were not stupid, and they would not see the Great Song Expeditionary Force coming to the door. After careful consideration, the archbishop felt that it was still prudent.
Orders were given to the civilian army fighting in the Iberian Peninsula.
"Crusaders! Back to Rome! Defend Rome! β
At the same time, he also sent a fatwa to the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV in Germany. Let him gather all the king's army of the empire, lords and knights, to come to Rome for defense.
....
ββββββββββββ
Continue north.
England, Kingdom of West Saxac.
Today's England does not have the detachment and domineering of the empire on which the sun never sets.
In fact, the King of the West Sasaces had a very hard time....
The Vikings of Northern Europe used West Saxx as their own backyard and came from time to time to make a dozen tooth sacrifices.
France across the sea is growing stronger. The Duke of Normandy was in charge and was planning a war of conquest against the kingdom of the Western Saxles, possibly crossing the Channel to England at any moment.
As a kingdom that was not a devout believer, the German Emperor and the Holy See obviously did not want to care about the affairs of the Western Saks.
Even the tube.
The King of the Saxoons also knew very well that they must be on the side of France.
...
At this time, His Majesty the King was in deep thought with two orders from the Emperor of the HRE and the bishop in his hands.
It stands to reason that he has every reason to avoid the dispute. But....
As soon as I thought of it, the opponent was this noble man from the great power of the East....
As soon as I thought of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty who stood behind him the mysterious country of the East, he died in Rome....
Why did he feel that if he didn't send troops, he might miss something?
Why does he still feel .... Is this an opportunity?
....
ββββββββββ
Seljuk Empire.
"What!?"
"Those devils actually entered the Red Sea!?"
When Shah learned that the Great Song fleet did not go south along East Africa, but entered the Red Sea, he was really surprised!
"God forbid! They're killing themselves! β
Red Sea! It is a place of death that even the Seljuk warriors dare not enter!
The bearded general also grew a breath of turbidity ...
"So they're preparing to land at Fatima (Egypt)?"
A big smile was revealed.
"The heretics of Fatima deserve to go to hell! But their Mamluk Praetorian Guard was by no means easy to mess with. β
"Those wild beasts will devour all these eastern devils in the desert!"
Shah nodded approvingly... It's hard to hide the joy.
"Let them fight!"
...
For the Fatimids, the only one in the Arab Empire who did not submit to the Seljuk cavalry, the Shah naturally hated it.
But... Mamluk of Fatima... But it also made Shah fearful.
Even Shah felt that even the magic of the Han people in the Central Plains could not be used to gain advantage in front of those Mamluk beasts!
....
"Order the Sultan of the Empire again! After Ramadan, it is necessary to assemble in the holy city! β
Shah's face is flushed and horny!
It's a good game!
Even the Mamluk Praetorian Guards of Fatima could not stop the Great Song. And those pagans in Rome are waiting for them!
And no matter how powerful the Great Song fleet is, in Shah's opinion, it is impossible to remain strong after fighting Fatima and the Roman Empire!
When these three families fight to the death and lose all three..... It was a godsend for him to conquer North Africa and exterminate the infidels of Europa!!
At this moment.
Tang Yi's more than 100 ships of treasure are no longer important.
Compare it to the conquest of the entire Arab world, the enslavement of the whole of Europa.
That's not worth mentioning!
ββββββββ
....
Thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty.
Wei Guogong and Han Cripple went out of the city before dark. After walking more than 20 miles south in a carriage, he stopped at a place called Hanjia Village.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the two silently entered the Gaomen compound in Hanjia Village.
As soon as I entered the hospital. Wei Guogong's old body couldn't wait, and he hurried a few steps, staring at an object in the courtyard by the dim light.
"This is the Vulcan Cannon?"
The thing in front of him was the small steel cannon with the smallest caliber among the artillery equipped by ββββthe Yazhou Army
Han Qi had obviously been here a long time ago, and stepped forward to introduce, "It's the Vulcan Cannon...."
"The blacksmith we bought, copied like this, and the silk consumption is not bad!"
"But..."Wei Guogong was a little unsure.
With his IQ...
I really can't understand how this thing can be so divine??
As soon as the Vulcan cannon came out, it was like a god and a ghost were born! Don't be....
When I saw it today, wasn't it just an iron tube, and it didn't seem to be anything special, right?
"Ugh." Han Qi relieved his doubts, "In addition to this thing, the Vulcan Cannon also needs bullets and thunder fire medicine to succeed. β
"What about marbles and thunderfire?"
"This...."Han Cripple was embarrassed, "I haven't got it yet...."
Wei Guogong frowned! "Hurry up, the trend of Western Xia is changing rapidly! If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to meet again. β
Han Qi furrowed his brows, and although he knew all the difficulties, he still nodded.
"Time is running out.... It's time to hurry. β
....
Han Cripple knows better than anyone else that he must hurry!
Now.
Not only is there frequent changes in Western Xia!
The surroundings of the Great Song Dynasty seem to be gradually boiling.
First of all, after three years of taoguang and obscurity, Da Liao has slowly recovered its vitality. Yelu Hongji has changed his previous bad habit of neglecting government and misleading the country. Not only did he not collapse due to the loss of Yanyun, but gradually took control of the Liao situation and worked hard.
Now, three years later, Da Liao has regained his wolf nature and is eager to try!
In the Gubei Guanwaitun with heavy troops. Swear to be ashamed of the year!
As soon as the news of Tang Yi's departure from Song came out. The Great Liao army immediately pressed forward twenty miles, and it was less than ten miles away from Gubei Pass. There is a danger of southward expansion at any time.
And in the southwest.
The overthrow of Champa and Jiaozhi also deeply touched the sensitive nerves of the small southwestern country. Angkor, Dali, and Tubo, just a few days ago, have reached a communist alliance to put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty on all sides to deter the Celestial Empire!
...
Today, the Great Song Dynasty is embattled! Scorched.
The ministers of the DPRK and the central government, so they have more complaints about Tang Yi's unauthorized troops. And Zhao Zhen is still partial and favoritistic, not punishing or prosecuting, which also makes the ministers very dissatisfied, resulting in the loss of the emperor's prestige.
This situation is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If the Vulcan cannon is used to win over Li Jie, as long as the situation in the northwest is stable, the Duke of Wei will be assisted by Western Xia soldiers.
Not to mention the original shallow will, it is to pull Zhao Zhen off the throne! It's not impossible to replace it!!
Thinking of this, Han Qi subconsciously touched his broken leg. The resentment against Tang Yi in my heart is even stronger!
Heavy hugs.
"Qi, let's do it!!"
After saying that, he disappeared out of the courtyard....
...
ββββββββββ
History.
If the great river goes east, the torrent is rolling and there is no return.
History.
It is also like the danger of eggs, fragile and unbearable....
Xu is a little butterfly, a small person. can stir up all kinds of storms. Change the general trend in the sky!!
At this moment.
Europe, West Asia, North Africa, Central Plains!!
The whole world!
is because of an adventurer named Qi Xuefeng and Song Kai....
Because of Tang Yi's expedition... And restless!!
...
If Tang Yi could look at the overall situation now and see everything!
will mourn and ask the heavens....
"The ..... of the First World War"
"Is this a thousand years ahead?"
....
"I'm not ready...."
ββββββββ
Don't be in a hurry, slow work and careful work.
(Crying sad face) put world wars in the eleventh century .... How easy is that!? 21010
