Subsequently, Li Zicheng and Da Kongdai began to communicate on specific tactical details.
This is probably the first time for military exchanges between the East and the West on this plane.
Both Li Zicheng and Da Kongdai benefited a lot. Therefore, Da Kongdai appointed Li Zi as his deputy and Liu Zongmin as the captain of the scout team, and began actions that were different from the past.
Turenne was originally very familiar with Grand Condé, and at this stage of the war, he was already very confident that the war would be over. As a result, Condé suddenly withdrew, which directly confused him.
Based on his understanding of the Grand Condé, this situation was absolutely abnormal. When he was puzzled, he could only report it to the French royal family and send troops to pursue it to see where the Condé retreated.
According to his idea, it would be best for Grand Condé to retreat to Spain and end the war.
Unexpectedly, the tactician Da Kongdai and the strategic strategist Li Zicheng combined to launch a mobile operation in France, which immediately made all parts of France lively.
Military reports one after another were constantly flown to Paris.
Where did it fall today, and where will it be breached tomorrow. In short, Turena can only run after the Grand Condé's troops, and clean up the mess caused by the Grand Condé, which gives him a very headache.
At this time, the Fronde movement had reached its final stage. The French army originally numbered 150,000 people, but after this civil strife, it had dropped sharply to about 50,000 people. The entire country was already in turmoil.
First came the Thirty Years' War, then the tax-paying merchants exploited the people, and then the civil strife of the Fronde movement, with the Spaniards meddling in it. The hardship of the French people's livelihood was absolutely unimaginable.
According to the original historical development, Turenne suppressed the rebellion of Condé Grande and then won the war against Spain. Louis XIV came to power and confiscated the wealth of Prime Minister Mazarin, who was similar to Heshen, and made a fortune
A lot of money, and under such various circumstances, France finally emerged as a hegemon.
But history has changed. Turenne failed to completely suppress the Grand Condé. Instead, he was exhausted by the Condé's rogue tactics, and the whole of France fell into dire straits.
During this process, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, who were left as slaves in Paris, also heard about the fact that there were two Orientals around Da Kongdai, especially one of them who had one eye, which was very obvious, so they were told
You know, this is their general.
So, after the two of them joined forces, they escaped from Paris and went to join Li Zicheng.
The civil strife in France made Spain laugh. However, in the Thirty Years' War, Spain actually suffered more losses than France. The Spanish had to support Condé's rebellion, so in terms of how much benefit they could get,
Can't see it yet.
However, compared to the original history, Spain can still breathe more. Therefore, the original Spanish suppression of Portuguese independence was just a formality. But in this dimension, due to the influence of the butterfly effect, the suppression
The intensity is much greater than in the original history.
As a result, the Portuguese will suffer!
The southwestern part of the European continent is in chaos again. The Holy Roman Empire in central Europe has disintegrated, and because most of the young people were killed or injured in the Thirty Years' War, it is actually only dying at this time.
The Netherlands actually benefited. France had no time to take care of itself, and there were no powerful countries around it. It also obtained steam engines from the Ming Empire. The Netherlands, which focused on business, became prosperous.
The British chopped off their king's head, Cromwell implemented a military dictatorship, and did not have much energy to care about the outside world.
On the European continent, there was originally a powerful country called the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This country's cavalry was very famous. It was probably the most powerful cavalry in Europe at that time, called hussars.
However, with the rise of Sweden and the outbreak of conflicts in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Sweden forcefully suppressed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. At this time, because the nobles of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had a tradition of bullying the Cossacks, the famous Hermetic War broke out in history.
Ernitsky uprising.
This Cossack uprising seriously shook the foundation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and eventually became an opportunity for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to be annexed by the three countries.
However, in this plane, due to the butterfly effect coming from the Far East, some changes have occurred in the original history.
Last year, in the Battle of Berestechko, the Polish-Lithuanian Federation defeated the Cossack army. The Cossacks suffered heavy losses and were forced to sign another very unfavorable agreement to surrender to the Polish-Lithuanian Federation.
As in the original history, the Cossacks were unwilling to give up and began to look for foreign aid.
Originally, the Cossacks and the Crimean Khanate, a tributary of the Ottoman Empire, fought together, but during the Battle of Berestechko, the two sides became estranged. In other words, it was precisely because the Crimean Tatars detained
Khmelnytsky caused heavy losses to the Cossacks.
Therefore, the Cossacks turned their attention to other places for foreign aid.
If it were the original history, the Cossacks approached the Russian Empire, and the Tsar saw the opportunity to annex Ukraine, so he agreed to the Cossacks' request and started the Polish-Russian War.
However, in this dimension, Tsarist Russia had received news that all the 10,000 troops he sent to the east had lost all of their troops, and they had also angered the emperor of the Ming Empire. I heard that the army of the Ming Empire even appeared.
In the Volga River Basin. Therefore, the Tsar had no intention of annexing the area where the Cossacks lived.
No, Khmelnytsky was full of hope. When Yinvan Bohon, the powerful general he sent to Tsarist Russia and the second-ranking Cossack man, returned, he hurriedly asked for news, but he was naturally disappointed.
Just when he was upset, Yinwan Bohon said to Khmelnytsky: "Maybe we should go to the east to ask for reinforcements. Once we get reinforcements, we will no longer be afraid of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Army!"
"Huh?" Khmelnytsky was a little surprised after hearing this. He looked up at Bohon and asked, "What do you mean? East? Where?"
The big countries nearby that could compete with the Polish-Lithuanian Federation were the Tsarist Russian Empire, needless to say, and the Crimean Khanate.
Among them, the Crimean Khanate was in trouble, and Khmelnytsky did not want to ally with them anymore. However, the Tsarist Empire, which had high hopes for it, did not agree, so there should be no alliance partner!
At this time, upon hearing Khmelnytsky's question, Bohon immediately replied: "Have you forgotten? There is also the Volga River Basin!"
"Volga River Basin?" Khmelnytsky heard this and asked doubtfully, "Those Torguts? They seem to have lost the battle and have no time to take care of themselves? Besides, even if they did not lose the battle, they are not strong enough.
!”
When Bohong heard this, he immediately shook his head and quickly explained: "Do you know why Tsarist Russia didn't agree to our request? It's because Tsarist Russia was afraid of the Ming army in the Volga River Basin!"
"The Ming army?" Khmelnytsky was even more surprised after hearing this. He was also very curious and asked quickly, "What is the situation?"
Bo Hong immediately explained: "The Ming Empire in the Far East always knows about it, right? Tsarist Russia sent 10,000 troops before, seemingly in alliance with the tribes and countries in the east, wanting to annex that rich empire, but was defeated by that country instead.
,completely annihilated……"
Khmelnytsky was stunned for a moment, and then it was obvious that he became attentive.
"...Do you know about the Koshote Khanate and the Yarkand Khanate? These countries were all destroyed by the Ming Empire. Even the Kazakh Khanate was frightened and surrendered to the Ming Empire. Therefore, the Ming Empire's army has arrived
They entered the Volga River Basin, saying that they were preparing to retaliate against the Tsarist Russian Empire and destroy it. So, how could Tsarist Russia have the mind to take care of us!"
Hearing this, Khmelnytsky opened his mouth in surprise. After a while, he asked Bohong: "Is this Ming Empire really so powerful?"
From that far away place, they successively destroyed countries and kept attacking. Even the Russian Empire was afraid! To be honest, it was a bit hard for him to imagine!
Perhaps, only the original Mongol Empire could do this?
However, there is only one Mongol Empire in this world!
It was glorious back then, but since then, there has never been a country with such strong military force!
At this time, Bohong heard Khmelnytsky's question. He also scratched his head and said: "I haven't seen it either, I just heard about it. But I think Tsarist Russia is really afraid of the Ming Dynasty."
The army, they have been preparing for war, and are on guard against the Ming army attacking them! From this point of view, the strength of the Ming army cannot be fake!"
Having said this, he was slightly excited and said to Khmelnytsky: "How about we seek help from the Ming Empire? If they are willing to help us, it is probably better than getting help from the Tsarist Russian Empire.
It will be more useful!"
The so-called emergency medical treatment, although Khmelnytsky had not heard more news about the Ming Empire, but at this time there was no other country to ask for help, so he nodded and said to Bohong: "Okay, I agree, then
I’ll leave this matter to you. Go to the Volga River Basin and see the situation of the Ming Dynasty’s army. If they are really very powerful, then our bottom line can be a little lower. You know the specific details.”
After hearing this, Bohong was not dissatisfied because he had to go on an envoy again. On the contrary, as the most courageous general among the Cossacks, he wanted to see what the Ming army was like that made the Tsarist Empire afraid.
The presence?
Therefore, he agreed to Khmelnytsky's request without saying a word. Without even taking an extra day's rest, he quickly set out for the Volga River Basin.
