Chapter 2257: Chinese soldiers approaching the city
Latest website: The start of the South China Empire’s war on Europe was not a naval battle, but a land battle.
The Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the nations on the large tracts of European land it originally occupied became independent. At the same time, the major European powers also seeped sand and developed their forces.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the South Chinese came.
The Chinese supported the Greeks, guaranteed the freedom of religious belief of the Greeks, protected the Greek churches, and returned the Hagia Sophia in Ispur to the Greeks, so the two sides fought fiercely.
They armed the Greeks, and the Greeks became the first imperial army of the South China Empire in Europe. They received the help of the Empire to make them autonomous, establish an army, and signed a Treaty of Friendship Alliance, similar to the "European Alliance Treaty." , Is also a military alliance!
The Greeks completely took refuge in the South China Empire.
The Greeks who were deeply influenced by the Byzantine Empire believed in Eastern Orthodox Church, which was incompatible with Western Catholicism. Eastern Orthodox believers would rather believe that Baotou did not trust the Pope!
Now that the Chinese are here, the Greeks would rather believe the Chinese than the Pope, which shows how credible the Catholic Church is.
The South China Empire stated to the European countries that all the interests of the Ottoman Empire in Europe belonged to the South China Empire. If they did not follow it, the South China Army would come to teach them knowledge!
In the end, Austria only regained Hungary, and the power of the Chinese bordered Austria!
The Chinese controlled the old Ottoman regions such as Greece, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, and so on. The Chinese implemented the Ottoman Empire’s “Miller’s Special System”, that is, religious tolerance policies, allowing people with capital in their jurisdictions to achieve internal autonomy.
First recognize the Greek Orthodox Church as "Millet", and appoint the Orthodox Patriarch in Xiping as the Orthodox Archbishop. Under the leadership of the Archbishop, the Orthodox will enjoy religion, culture and other aspects as long as they do not offend the imperial administration and the Chinese. They can open ethnic schools and teach in their own languages.
The archbishop is responsible for collecting taxes and submitting it to the treasury, and guarantees the behavior of the faithful and allegiance to the emperor.
The Gregorian sect of Armenia and the Jewish synagogue are also recognized as Millet.
In other words, as long as the clans do not deliberately provoke the empire, they can live their own lives behind closed doors.
The Chinese are not harsh either. They have the famous "10% plus or minus", which means that the employees of the imperial government in the conquered area will be paid 10% more wages and 10% less tax.
The tribes think Millet is better than being governed by Catholicism, which is really terrible!
Of course, it is not always welcome to rule by the Chinese. For example, Paulus Izetbegovic, a local power in Herzegovina, refuses to pay to the city of Xiping (the Baotou is called Istanbul, and the white is called Constantine). Dingbao) Allegiance, the South China Empire Xiping stayed behind Yan Yu angrily sent a colonel named Chen Yang to solve the guy, Chen Yang led three thousand South China troops, five thousand Japanese and five thousand Greeks, Paulus Yi Zetbegovic drove an army of 30,000 to resist the South China Army in the city of Shizra.
Chen Yang declared: "Defeat the enemy, and everyone will share all the benefits!"
As a result, under the cover of the South China Army’s long-range firepower (cannons and rifled guns), the five thousand Japanese clamored "for the emperor" to rush into the battle, and the five thousand Greeks also clamored "for the emperor" to follow up and put Paulus. Izetbegovic defeated!
In particular, 12,000 people went to attack the 5,000 Greeks. The Greeks successfully fought the Herzegovina's onslaught and successfully defeated them with the support of the South China Army.
Paulus Izetbegovic could hardly believe his eyes. Once, under the rule of the Baotou, he had a dispute with the Greeks. The Greeks were very face-to-face and could not stand a blow.
What I didn't expect was that the Greeks changed their masters, and they became stronger!
What frightened him even more were those short files that did not know where the Chinese got them. They were said to be uncivilized shengfans. The Chinese armed them. They were generally a head shorter than the Herzegovinas. Two heads, but their discipline is strict, their muskets are very accurate, and they are quite brave!
Those short files are quite ferocious. Their officers like to use command sabers, and soldiers like to use bayonets to stab the wounded enemy soldiers who fell on the ground to the ground --- just stabbing them into the heart!
Some officers and soldiers beheaded the white skin with a machete. It is said that a hundred people beheaded appeared. When they saw the blood, the short file was extremely excited and yelled there. The combat effectiveness was greatly increased, and it was very BT!
Five thousand Japanese and five thousand Greeks each lost more than a thousand people, and completely defeated Paulus Izetbegovic’s 30,000 people, and Paulus Izetbegovic escaped with his own body. .
Then they broke into the city and killed those who resisted. All those who did not resist were captured and sold, and the wealth in the city was also taken away. Everyone divided it up, and then burned the city.
After the experience of the people of Herzegovina spread out, after being slapped in the hand, the disobedience in various places disappeared, and the rule of the South China Empire was recognized.
They paid taxes to the Chinese and handed over their children. The Southern China Empire had compiled and trained one hundred thousand European Imperial Army, and was training another one hundred thousand, and another one hundred thousand reserve forces were training.
When the "Messiah" incident broke out in Barcelona, Spain, the news reached Xiping. The second prince of the Empire in Xiping, Yan Yu, turned up a piece of combat information and asked his chief of staff Zhang Jiayu to lead the Seventh Army's Zeng Ying and Li Zhanchun. , Yu Dahai and Zhao Yin selected the generals to go west and reach the border between Austria and Hungary!
The Seventh Army has a total of 50,000 troops, another 50,000 East Asian Imperial Allied Forces, and 100,000 European White-skinned Imperial Allied Forces. They conducted huge military exercises close to the Austrian border, firing again and again. The firing made the Austrian Habsburg emperor Leopold I very worried.
At this time, the Austrian veteran Grand Duke Ferdinand had died of illness, and he recommended a good general Raimondo Montecuccoli to take over his class, giving the Austrian army the backbone.
Raimondo Montecuccoli is a wise and astute professional soldier. He was born in the northern part of Italy at the age of www.wuxiaspot.com. He joined the army at the age of 16, joined the Austrian army in 1636, at the age of 28. He was already a colonel. In 1648, he was promoted to cavalry general. In 1658, he was promoted to Field Marshal. He participated in the Thirty Years' War and the Ordovician War. He spent most of his life in the army. His record was more victories than defeats. A trustworthy general.
He accepted the emperor's order and led a 200,000 army to the border to deploy defenses. Under his instructions, the Austrian army had a deep ditch and a strong base, not contacting the South China Army, not provoking, and not shooting the first shot.
The marshal was so old that he admired Zhang Jiayu, the leader of the South China army. He said to the South China generals: "The famous generals in ancient times know the victory and defeat, sniff the soil to determine the military situation. Although the Austrians don't know what we are going to do, they did it. The best defense!"
Although the Austrians have the best defense, they are also invincible. After receiving the support of Zuo Menggeng, Dang Shousu, Dou Mingwang, and Ma Bao from the Fifth Army, Zhang Jiayu made the excuse of a soldier from the 7th Division of the Imperial Army (Japanese Division). Missing near the city of Subotica in Hungary, he requested to enter Subotica for search. After being refused, Zhang Jiayu ordered the bombardment of Subotica and launched an offensive.
The European war has officially started!
