Chapter 795 Crusades (10) Battle of Stealing Homes
Reality is often more exciting than drama.
I heard that Murad led a large force of 300,000 Ottoman troops including militiamen into the Persian Plateau, and was only two hundred miles away from the capital of the Safavid Empire, "Tabriz". He had just led his troops to Kabul.
Abbas II, who was nearby, was immediately dumbfounded, and immediately led his army back to Persia.
By the time Abbas II led his army back to the Persian plateau, Tabriz had fallen.
Abbas II's queen, concubines and a large number of young and beautiful princesses all became Murad's harem.
Abbas II was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He immediately launched an attack on the Ottoman army. Two armies of a certain religion fought a bloody battle in the central and eastern part of the Persian Plateau.
So religion is really harmful to people.
Since ancient times, what religious countries are best at is fighting among themselves.
A certain sect of a certain religion has been fighting fiercely with a certain sect for thousands of years. The Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant churches of Christianity have also been engaged in constant wars and disputes. The Thirty Years' War almost razed most of Europe to the ground.
When the news spread back to Rome, Pope Alexander VII was also furious to death. A certain religion really failed to accomplish anything but failed.
However, bad news soon came from the Northern Route Army. The Northern Route Army, which Alexander VII had high hopes for, was composed of a number of small countries such as Tsarist Russia, Sweden, and Denmark.
They fought a stalemate with the Ming army within an area of 1,000 kilometers, and a good attack turned into a defense.
Alexander VII was so angry that he called him useless, but there was nothing he could do.
Because Sweden and other Nordic countries believe in Protestantism, while Tsarist Russia believes in Orthodox Christianity, these "pagans" were willing to accept the call of the Holy See and participate in this Crusade, which made Alexander VII feel very lucky, so it is really
I don't dare to ask too much of these "heathens" anymore.
Therefore, Alexander VII could only place his hopes on the central army.
After more than a year of tugging and scolding, the center coalition finally took shape.
The composition of the military force is mainly composed of 300,000 troops from the seven grand duchies (electors) of the Holy Roman Empire, including 150,000 troops from the Grand Duchy of Austria, 150,000 troops from the Kingdom of France, 60,000 troops from the Kingdom of England, 50,000 troops from the Kingdom of Spain, and 30,000 troops from the Kingdom of Portugal.
Ten thousand, the United Provinces of the Netherlands sent 20,000 troops, plus 40,000 free mercenaries (actually the fallen wandering knights who did not inherit the territory from their fathers), for a total of 650,000.
For such a large expeditionary force to go on an expedition, the food and salary supply would be astonishing.
The reason why the Crusaders took more than a year to form an army was also because of this.
Alexander VII spent a lot of effort, even consuming 90% of his vitality, and finally reached a consensus after repeated discussions with emperors and chief ministers of many countries.
All countries participating in the Eastern Expedition jointly contributed funds to form the Eastern Expedition Fund.
The march and support of the expeditionary force in Europe will be guaranteed by the foundation.
But after the expeditionary force passed Ukraine, each country's army had to raise its own food and salary.
Well, it is said to be self-financed, but the subtext is actually to let the armies of various countries rob the indigenous people along the way, rob the Cossacks when they are in Ukraine, and rob the Kyrgyz people when they enter the Kyrgyz steppe.
After all, the purpose of this Crusade was to rescue the Cossacks and Kyrgyz from the rule of the cruel and greedy "Ming Empire", so it is only natural that the Cossacks and Kyrgyz should pay some reward for this, and God will definitely understand such behavior, God

The last to set off was the Austrian army of the Holy Roman Empire, which only sent troops in October.
In the 27th year of Chongzhen, at the end of 1654 AD, the Crusaders advanced to the west coast of the Black Sea and immediately divided into two groups.
One of them, led by the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand IV of Austria, turned south and launched a surprise attack on Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, despite the stern warning of Pope Alexander VII.
Well, this really corresponds to a sentence in Dream of Red Mansions: The agency was too clever in its calculations, but it cost Qing Qing her life.
The Safavid Emperor Abbas II and the Ottoman Sultan Murad both considered themselves smart and wanted to scheme against others, but in the end, their homes and capitals of both countries were stolen.
Ferdinand IV's insistence also led to the split of the Crusade.
However, even without the Austrian army, the Crusaders still had 500,000 people, and as the young French King Louis XIV, the Sun King, said, their cohesion was even stronger.
As a result, the main force of the Crusaders continued to advance eastward along the northern coast of the Black Sea.
According to the consensus reached between Pope Alexander VII and the generals of various countries, the destination of the Crusaders' march was Astrakhan on the northwest coast of the Caspian Sea. They would first meet up with the Northern Route Army, and then the two armies would join forces to defeat the Ming Dynasty on the north coast of the Caspian Sea.
The army then followed the march route of the Northern Army, burning, killing, and looting all the way into the Kyrgyz grassland. Then in the same way, burning, killing, and looting all the way, supporting war with war, until it entered the Ming Dynasty, completing what Alexander the Great had not yet completed.
The great cause of the Eastern Expedition.
At that time, Emperor Alexander of Macedonia did not complete the great task of conquering the Eastern Territory.
Today it will be done by him, Pope Alexander.
I must admit that Pope Alexander had a pretty good idea.
However, the Pope, who was immersed in his dream, did not know that the Ming Navy was really unruly and actually came all the way from the sea to fight, and it had already reached Morocco.
Stealing a house will soon happen to the Holy See.
…
At this moment, Chongzhen was already standing at the exotic gate of Marrakech, the capital of Morocco. The Sultan of the Sharif Dynasty of Morocco, with his queen, concubines, princes, princesses and ministers, as well as thousands of nobles,
He knelt down tremblingly at the feet of this conqueror from the east.
Chongzhen's eyes fell on the concubines of the Moroccan Sultan and the princesses, and asked them to take off their masks and robes.
Arab women's facial features are actually very beautiful, and their figures are also very graceful.
However, he always likes to cover his facial features with a mask, and always wears a robe on his body to completely cover his graceful and graceful figure. It is said that this custom comes from the teachings of a certain religion. Anyway, Chongzhen could not understand it, and he did not intend to respect it.
, what a bullshit doctrine, what a bullshit religion, in the Confucian world, the divine power is like a younger brother in front of the imperial power. If you let it lie down, it will not dare to squat down. The emperor in the Confucian world is so domineering.
"Tell them to take off all their masks and robes."
Abdullah, who had been transferred to the head of the African trading house of the Ming Empire, immediately came to the concubines and princesses of the Moroccan Sultan with great pride and spoke a lot in Arabic.
Yingying Yanyan, who was wearing a mask and a robe, suddenly panicked.
The Sultan of Morocco and all the princes, ministers and nobles looked sad and angry.
A minister with a beard stood up angrily and pointed at Chongzhen and cursed loudly.
"You have backbone." Chongzhen grinned and then turned away, "Pull him to the side and kill him!"
The two guards immediately rushed forward and dragged the minister to the side like a dog. Then they took out their pistols and shot the minister in the back of the head. After the gunshot, the minister immediately fell to the ground without making a sound.
The Sultan of Morocco, the princes, and other ministers and nobles suddenly fell silent.
All the concubines and princesses were so frightened that they burst into tears, and their big, watery eyes were really pitiful.
Abdullah gave the order again. This time, the concubines and princesses no longer dared to resist. They could only take off their masks obediently, and then took off the Arab robes on their bodies, leaving only a
The garment is close to the body and made of tulle, perfectly revealing the graceful and graceful figure in an instant.
Chongzhen also felt his throat was dry.
This is like being used to eating all kinds of delicacies. When you suddenly see all kinds of seafood, your index fingers will definitely be excited. This is the case in Chongzhen now. They are used to seeing local beauties from the East, even Galdan like Aizimu.
The princess is also half oriental, and cannot be considered an exotic beauty in the true sense.
But these women in front of me are truly exotic beauties.
Moreover, she is an exotic beauty who is a mixture of Europeans and Arabs. She has perfectly inherited the characteristics of the Europeans' snow-skinned long legs and the Arabs' big eyes and high nose bridge. The only drawback is that the skin is slightly rough, far less delicate than the Oriental beauties.
Some women even have fine body hair.
Chongzhen glanced at them and found the most beautiful one.
This beauty is not only fair-skinned, but also extremely delicate, with a perfect figure, and her legs are at least one meter long. This body proportion can be called the golden ratio.
"That." Chongzhen immediately pointed at this beauty and said to Xiang Fei Aizimu, who was accompanying the army on the expedition, "take her back to the ship to take a bath, then change her clothes and wait for me."
"Accept the decree." Aizimu received the decree and immediately took the exotic beauty aboard the Zheng He ship.
The exotic beauty did not dare to disobey and could only look sadly at the Moroccan Sultan in the crowd.
The Sultan of Morocco was so frightened that he did not dare to raise his head and could only watch the queen being snatched away.
Chongzhen turned back to the soldiers behind him and said, "The old rules are that the remaining women are yours. You can pick whatever you want. The ones you choose will be yours. But there is one thing: no fighting is allowed. Each person is limited to twenty!"
Upon hearing this, more than a thousand officers and soldiers of an infantry regiment that was about to be stationed in Morocco suddenly cheered.
Immediately afterwards, these officers and soldiers rushed to Chongzhen like hungry wolves to pick up the remaining Moroccan concubines, princesses, wives, concubines and daughters of ministers and nobles. This one is mine, that one is yours...
