Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Then the two Ling Yin led a large group of officials and representatives of the common people, and together they greeted the great king who came down from the boat in military uniform and with a long sword hanging from his waist.But Zhu Yimei nodded in return, said a few words of encouragement and condolences, and then asked, "Why didn't you see Su Zhanyang, Celing Dunduobu and Xibohou? Did they send troops to attack the Spanish Empire?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Li Guangdi replied, "Xibohou, Dongbohou, Jizhouhou, and Celingqianhuhou led the army to Tongnan City half a year ago to prepare to send troops. Two months ago, they led the army to invade the Spanish Empire. Already!"

Chen Tingjing added: "Your Highness, King Montezuma of the Aztec Kingdom has also led his troops to Mexico City... Now it is estimated that troops have been sent to surround Mexico City, you can just rest in Xinchaoge City, at most In three months, there will be good news.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yimei quickly put her sword on her sword, and said with a bloody face: "The lonely family is also a warrior, how can we sit at home and wait for the soldiers to make meritorious deeds?" He then pointed at Sophie Maggies who had already got off the boat and said, " The lonely family wants to go south to Mexico City with this Sumerian... The lonely family wants to work with the soldiers to defeat Mexico City!"

Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing turned their heads and saw the bubbling "Su Meiren", and they thought to themselves: "It's not auspicious for a great merchant king to bring a Sumerian to a country with a western prefix... "

Chapter 903 Leopold, hand in your gun and don't kill, the devil doesn't lie!

"Your Majesty, Mexico City is more than 7000 miles away from Xinchaoge. If Your Majesty personally leads the infantry and cavalry to attack, it will take more than [-] days to arrive. By the time His Majesty's soldiers arrive, Mexico City will be restored for many days. Your Majesty is still in court. Let's enjoy peace in Song City!"

"That's right, the Lutai Palace has just been repaired, and there is also a collection of orchids in the palace that were tributed by the Aztec King Montezuma. They are all Western orchids captured by the Aztecs, all of them are enchanting..."

"My lord, although our Shangfang Kingdom is located in a remote place, it is rich in gold and mink fur. If you think there is something missing in Lutai Palace, I will send someone to Daming immediately to buy it!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry about money. After the victory in the attack on New Spain this time, the second largest silver mine in the world will belong to our country of Shang. Moreover, there are many white technicians and Indian slave laborers on the big silver mine. They captured Xinchaoge Mansion and Haiyuan Mansion to mine gold, and you will be even richer, Your Majesty!"

It has to be said that Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing are really loyal ministers who can handle affairs, and it makes sense for them to be mixed up as important ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty in history.They have known for a long time that Zhu Yimei is good, so they have been working hard for the king for the past two years-the wine pool, the meat forest, the deer terrace palace, the gold and silver mountains, Zhu Yimei just needs to be the king comfortably!

This is not to teach Zhu Yimei to be a foolish king, but Shangfang is the national condition - today's Shangfang country is equivalent to the oil rich country in the Middle East in later generations, and there are not thousands of princes who prodigal together, only Zhu Yimei and Zhu Celing both.Do we still need to struggle in this national condition?This national condition, even if Zhu Yimei and Zhu Celing are defeated every day, the more they lose, the richer they will be.

On the contrary, it's the two brothers who have to work hard and do something earth-shattering, so it's troublesome... Doing a big career will kill you!Now the Yin family of Shang Fang is not short of money and land, but they are short of people, and they are short of too many.

Moreover, Zhu Heqi had already drawn a red line for the seven princes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties-if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different!Therefore, the Shang Kingdom and the Yin Khanate must ensure that the Yin and Shang people have an advantage in numbers, even an absolute advantage!

And all expansion actions of the Shang Kingdom and the Yin Family must follow this principle, and they must not swallow too many New World aborigines and whites because of external expansion.

Therefore, the Seven Marquises of the Yin and Shang Dynasties who presided over the great affairs of the merchants did not even intend to annex the Zacatecas silver mine. This silver mine is more than 2000 miles away from the Tongnan Fortress. If they want to annex it all the way, they will have to eat two or three million Indians?This suddenly annexed the "Yin merchants" (East Asians) into a minority.All they want is the right to mine silver mines.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Shang does not need a wise king who can do a lot.But Zhu Yimei was not happy anymore, he was still young and it was time for him to start his career!How can I lie flat every day in the wine pool and meat forest?Besides... Spanish orchids and so on, it's interesting to coax them here by yourself!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yimei said to Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing with a straight face, "I was ordered by my father to come to the New World to take the life of Spanish Emperor Leopold. Is this Leopold still in Mexico City?"

Li Guangdi replied uncertainly: "This...should still be there, right? The news came back last month that Leopold wanted the king to guard the country."

Zhu Yimei was taken aback, "Last month? It's almost the end of the month now."

Chen Tingjing quickly explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know, and we don't know much about the situation in Mexico City. Because Xinchaoge is more than 7000 miles away from Mexico City, and the situation along the way is complicated, and our manpower is insufficient. Many castles have been destroyed. Controlled by the Spanish, the army just bypassed it. Even if the castle was easily captured, there would be no troops to garrison it. So... It is not easy for the king to lead the troops there, and it is not very safe. Now we have not enough troops at hand. Many, except for the defenders of Xinchaoge Mansion, Shangdu Mansion, Yindu Mansion, Haiyuan Mansion, Tongnan Mansion, Xibo Mansion and other mansions, at most 5000 people can be drawn. It’s a long way, so I’m afraid that something might happen... ..."

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Yimei nodded and said, "If that's the case, then the lonely family should send troops all the more!"

While speaking, he turned around and pointed to the huge fleet of ships that were dropping sails and anchoring on the sea of ​​Fugui Bay, and said with a smile: "There are a total of 100 Pacific and New World ships, and each ship has more than 2 sailors. , Half of them are officers and soldiers of the Eastern Fleet... This is an army of tens of thousands, plus the guards of the lonely family and the soldiers that our Shangfang Kingdom can draw, it is more than [-] troops!

Let's go south to the port of Acapulco by sea. Although we have to travel more than [-] miles, the boat can travel day and night. If the wind is smooth, it will be a thousand miles a day.And from the port of Acapul to Mexico City, it is only [-] miles, and it can be completed in ten days and a half months.

This Port of Acapulco is an important place!In the past, the Spaniards were heavily guarded and built coastal defense bastions.If we want to attack and seize, there must be heavy casualties.But now that the capital of the Spanish Empire is almost lost, where can they deploy soldiers in the port of Acapulco?This is a godsend opportunity to seize Acapul Port! "

Now Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing are not good enough to persuade Zhu Yimei to continue drinking and drinking.Because the Port of Acapulco is really important!The port of Acapulco was the starting point of the galleon trade route where the Spaniards traded with East Asia earlier.

In addition, this port is only [-] miles away from Mexico City... If this port is in the hands of Daming or Shang Fang, the future capital of Aztec will be under the attack of Shang Fang's army!

Moreover, the terrain of this port is very dangerous, facing the sea and backing the mountains, consisting of two bays, one large and one small, and they are all bays with a small mouth and a big belly. There is a cannon at the "mouth", and it is difficult for others to rush in.On the other side of the port is surrounded by mountains, and it is very difficult to seize it from land.

After Shang Fangguo and Spain turned against each other, they also wanted to seize the port of Acapulco, but after sending out spies to conduct some investigation, they found that there was no way to start, so they had to give up.

And now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the port of Acapulco is at hand, and it would be a pity to pass it up!

"Your Majesty," Li Guangdi looked at the large fleet on the sea, and asked with some uncertainty, "Can Daming's Eastern Fleet help us capture the port of Acapulco?"

Zhu Yimei nodded and said with a smile: "Father gave me a decree, allowing me to call the Eastern Fleet once... In addition, after the Acapulco port was taken down, it was also shared by Daming and the merchants. As far as I know, Acapulco There are two harbors, one big and one small, in Pulco Harbor, and we and Daming happen to be one family!"

Chen Tingjing slapped his hands: "Okay! Since the Dongyang Fleet can listen to the king's restraint, it might as well do a big job!"

……

November 1696, 9 in the Western calendar.

The morning wind blows coolly over the walls of Chapultepec Castle. Everyone standing on the not-so-high walls, including Spanish Emperor Leopold I and Mexico City City Defense Commander Stallenberg The hearts of the Earl and other dignitaries of the Spanish Empire are also cold.

The reason for the coldness is not the cold weather, but the chilling scene they saw with the binoculars in their hands - the army of the devil family is marching into the Mexica Valley, entering the north of Mexico City the city of Turtitlan!

This "Magic Army" is mainly composed of cavalry cavalry, with more than [-] people, half of them are wearing leather robes, braided ears, and leather hats. The "magic army" under Duke Lin!

The other half of the "magic army" is all clothed with cross-collared clothes, top and bottom, with buns on their heads and wrapped in red handkerchiefs.These "magic army" are all carrying long flintlock guns, and they should be the "magic army" that wiped out the Earl of St. Chris in New Maling Road!

These two demonic armies not only possessed cavalry and mounted infantry, but also carried bronze field artillery and rocket launchers drawn by horses, as well as many mule and horse carts loaded with luggage.

Although these two demonic armies together only have 2 people, it seems insignificant compared to the 30 to [-] Aztec troops gathered under Mexico City.But all the Spaniards who saw them felt as if they had fallen headfirst into the ice hole—the whole body, inside and out, was completely cold!

Because they all know that with the [-] "Magic Army", General Eugen and Don Diego's army will never come to the Mexica Valley again, because they will also give away their heads.

It is no problem for 30 "Magic Army" to defeat more than [-] of the most elite Spanish Royal Army in the field, and with them acting as sharp knives and controlling the battlefield, Montezuma's [-]-[-] weak Aztec soldiers can also Showing extraordinary strength... Even if Admiral Eugen, Don Diego and the Duke of Lorraine join forces, there is no chance of winning.

And now the troops of General Eugen, Don Diego and the Duke of Lorraine don't know where they are!

Since none of the three Spanish imperial armies were in the Mexica Valley, the Aztec-merchant coalition first completed the deployment of the decisive battle in the Mexica Valley!

This merchant army did not go to seize the Zacatecas silver mine, but walked in a big circle for at least [-] Spanish miles, all the way to the east of the Mexica Valley, and went around Leopold for a regret. Mozhi——If you knew this, you should have run away!

But there is no regret medicine in the world, he can't run away now.Mexico City will soon be completely trapped, and all the castles in the valley, except Mexico City, which are occupied by the Spanish imperial army, will definitely be breached by the Aztec-merchant coalition forces in a very short period of time.

At that time, Mexico City will become a lonely city!

If the troops of General Eugen, Don Diego and the Duke of Lorraine dare to come to rescue, they will probably be destroyed by the Aztec-merchant coalition forces!

If they don't come... the reserves in Mexico City will be exhausted sooner or later, and Emperor Leopold will either commit suicide and go to hell, or be caught and tortured by the devil until he commits suicide and then goes to hell!

In short, I am afraid that this hell must be gone!

At the same time when Leopold I was feeling deep despair about his future, in the city of Turtitlan, King Mengchuang had just welcomed Zhou Peigong, Su Zhanyang and Celing Dunduobu into his palace.

"King Meng, have you ever sent someone to persuade you to surrender?"

After exchanging pleasantries between the two parties, Zhou Peigong went straight to the point and asked about persuading the surrender.

"Persuading to surrender?" King Montezuma was taken aback, "Lord Xibo, who do you want to persuade to surrender?"

"Who else? That Emperor Leopold!" Zhou Peigong said with some pride, "Now, he is the turtle in the urn! If you don't want to die, then you have to surrender to us."

"Surrender?" King Montezuma shook his head again and again, "He won't surrender."

"You never persuaded him, how do you know he won't?" Su Zhanyang interjected, "Even if he really refuses, we still have to persuade... so that the people in the city can know that they have a way out."

"What Su Hou means...is to persuade you to surrender?"

"Hahaha," Tseringdun Duobu laughed, "King Meng, that's a good point... It's a trick to persuade him to surrender! Let's trick him, even if we don't succeed, we won't lose anything."

King Montezuma asked, "Then... how are we going to trick him?"

"Isn't that easy?" Zhou Peigong laughed, "How can Spain deceive your ancestors, how can you deceive the Spanish emperor now! This is called the cycle of cause and effect!"

What he said was that the Spanish adventurer Cortez was treated as the messenger of the Feathered Serpent by Montezuma II, received a grand reception, and was able to kidnap and kill Montezuma II in the Aztec palace .

Now, it's up to the descendants of Montezuma II to trick the Emperor of Spain!

"Okay!" King Montezuma nodded heavily, "I'll ask Huaerjin to persuade him to surrender right away, just say..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Peigong, Su Zhanyang and Celing Dunduobu again.

Zhou Pei said: "As long as he is willing to return Mexico City to the Aztecs, surrender to the Great Ming Dynasty, and pay [-] million pesos in compensation, then we will spare him and the Spanish Empire."

Celing Dunduobu nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's not easy for us to come all the way, and we can't return empty-handed, so we want money rather than life."

"Spare him?" King Montezuma asked, "Can Emperor Ming really spare Leopold?"

Su Zhanyang smiled and said: "I don't know, the one who can spare him is the Emperor Ming... but the one who can't spare him is you and thousands of dead Indian souls! I think he must go to this hell! King Meng , do you think it makes sense?"

The Marquis of Jizhou didn't know that Zhu Heqi had already decided to kill Leopold!However, he still knew Emperor Zhu's principles of non-alignment and not accepting his younger brother indiscriminately—Emperor Zhu would never accept a Spanish younger brother no matter what.

"That's right!" Montezuma waved his fist. "Leopold must die! Trick him out of town and kill him!"

Having said that, King Montezuma still didn't believe that Leopold would be tricked out of Mexico City... The Spanish emperor regarded Zhu and Qi as devils!

Can he believe the devil's words?

Chapter 904 Your Majesty, This Is Not Rebellion, This Is Surrender!

October 1696, Mexico City, Chapultepec Castle, Emperor's Audience Hall.

"Your Majesty, you can definitely trust King Montezuma and the Merchant Xibo. King Montezuma just wants to take back the land that originally belonged to us Aztecs... Isn't the Mexico City you are in now the original Aztec land?" Tenochtitlan, the capital of the people? You Spaniards have occupied our land for more than 100 years in vain, and now it is time to return it. And this is also a common response of your God and our most holy will, if God really approves How do you explain the loss of the Holy Spear and the capture and death of Philip, the chief exorcist of the Holy Order, for your occupation of the Aztec lands and the massacre of the Aztecs for more than 100 years? Leopold Emperor Germany, you should recognize the reality. Your persistence in Mexico City is meaningless. Mexico City has been surrounded by merchants—the Aztecs. Although your persistence will delay the Aztecs from regaining their land time, but it will not change the ending. Moreover, the long-term siege will turn Mexico City into a hell on earth, and finally all the Spaniards will starve to death, and there will be even a tragedy of cannibalism before starving to death!

And we, the most holy believers, don't want such a human tragedy, even though that's how you treated us Aztecs in the past!But we are humans, not animals!We just want to get back the land that belonged to our ancestors... We don't want to take crazy revenge for the tragedy of the nation more than 100 years ago, and we don't want to seize the land that originally belonged to the Mayans and Incas, we just want to get back the most holy Grant us the land of the Aztecs.So we allow you to pack your bags, take everything you have looted from the Aztec lands over the past 100+ years, and leave safely, returning the land to us.If you are not willing to do this, then we will keep surrounding Mexico City!

Don't you think that we will run out of rations and retreat, it is impossible.Because except for Mexico City, which is surrounded by us, all the land in the Mexica Valley has been recovered by us, and our people are growing corn and wheat in the fertile valley. We will always stay in the Mexica Valley, never will leave! "

It is Walzin, the envoy of King Montezuma who is plausibly persuading Emperor Leopold to hand over Mexico City. This person is actually a descendant of the Aztec royal family. The king's ancestors also defected to Spain, so they were saved from being killed.However, his ancestors were not as valuable as the ancestors of King Montezuma, so he did not mix with the Spanish nobles, but became a small local noble in New Spain.However, he also received a good education and can speak fluent Spanish and Latin, as well as the Aztecs’ own Nahuatl language. He also learned the “Shangyu” in Xinchaoge. With a bit of talent in language, he has been successful in both the Shangfang Kingdom and the Aztec Kingdom, and is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Aztec Kingdom.

In the audience hall of Emperor Leopold, there were many ministers and dignitaries of the Spanish Empire accompanying him, all of them were frowning, and when they heard that they could leave Mexico City with the looted property, everyone inadvertently showed their faces. A hint of surprise, and then set his sights on Leopold, the emperor of the Spanish Empire.

Of course, the Spanish emperor would not agree to leave in such a disgruntled manner, and he did not believe that the Aztecs would give up their revenge-there were 30 million whites or mixed-race whites in Mexico City, which accounted for almost all the whites in the entire Spanish colonial empire. Twenty or thirty percent of mixed-race whites!If all these people are killed, the Spanish colonial empire will be greatly damaged.

Also... Aztecs who betrayed God were soulless inhumans to white people who believed in God!So what would the Aztecs who believed in the devil (holy) think of the white people in Mexico City?

Thinking of this, Emperor Leopold replied in a firm and gloomy tone: "The so-called Aztec country has long since ceased to exist. The land in Mexico is the territory of the Spanish Empire. This is recognized by the entire international community." Any country that tries to change this reality will become the public enemy of the entire international community... and will not succeed.

For the emperors and warriors of the Spanish Empire will defend their capital...and the whole of Christian civilization stands behind us, and reinforcements from Europe have arrived in Cuba, and will soon reach the Mexica Valley.And reinforcements will continue to come until every intruder is overwhelmed!If you don't want to be wiped out by us, then it's still too late to escape.You can still leave our land now! "

"Emperor Leopold," Walzin said loudly in Spanish, shaking his head, "are you living in your own fantasy? The Aztecs have returned, and the Aztec warriors Mexico City is surrounded, how can you treat it as if it does not exist? And there is no steady stream of European reinforcements, because the Frankish Emperor Louis XIV has long since given up supporting New Spain. His daughter Sophie Maggie, Countess of Texas Si is already the wife of King Shang!"

"God, the rumors turned out to be true!"

"How could Louis XIV do this! How could he marry his daughter to the devil's son?"

"This is betrayal!"

"My God! The French have betrayed Catholicism again..."

"Damn French!"

The Spanish dignitaries in the audience hall all exclaimed!However, Leopold I has not given up his fantasy. He shook his head and said: "Emperor Louis will not give up New Spain! He is now the leader of the Christian world, so there is no reason to do so. And we also have the Eugen Legion, Lorraine The Legion and the Diego Legion...these three legions together have at least 20 troops, and they still control most of the land in New Spain. As soon as reinforcements from Europe arrive, the counterattack will begin!"

"Your Majesty," Walzin said, shaking his head, "you are really living in your own fantasy... Eugen von Savoy, Don Diego and the Duke of Lorraine cannot save you and Mexico City. Because just a few days ago, King Shang, Princess Sophie, and tens of thousands of Ming-Shang coalition forces have landed in Acapulco Port! Now they are coming to the Mexica Valley, from Acapulco Port to The road in the Mexica Valley is unimpeded, because King Shang's messenger has arrived in Turtitlan this morning!"

"No!" The Spanish emperor roared, "It's impossible! It's impossible for Ming to send troops, and it's impossible for Louis to betray me..."

"My lord," Count Stallenberg whispered beside him, "Louis XIV has already betrayed you once!"

"This..." Leopold's face was livid, "No, no, he won't betray me. I have already given him the Roman Empire! What else does he want?"

Count Stallenberg said with a sad face: "Maybe... he needs to make a deal with the devil, and exchange New Spain for Austria?"

"No, no, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible..."

Hua Erjin sighed, and said to the Spanish emperor in a sympathetic tone: "Your Majesty, the Ming-Shang coalition forces led by King Shang and Princess Su will arrive soon...and they will bring enough Lots of cannons and bazookas! Then you can see them with binoculars from Chapultepec Castle!"

He paused, and glanced at the dim audience hall: "I reiterate again, the Aztecs only want to take back the land that belongs to us, we don't want revenge, we don't want to slaughter, we just want to treat everyone fairly. People! But if you choose to fight to the end, then... I promise, you will lose everything!

Think about it, even if the Spanish Empire lost all the land north of the Sierra Madre del Sur, it still has a lot of vast and rich lands, enough for you white lords to continue to enjoy life, but only if you live! "

Yes, you can continue to be a master if you live, and if you die... then you will have nothing!

And as Waltzin said, even if the Spanish Empire loses the land of Mexico, it is still a world empire!Even the financial revenue will not be reduced too much-as long as the production of the Topoxi silver mine is increased, isn't there everything?

In addition, there are still many industries that can be developed in the vast colonies of the Spanish Empire. Cuba alone has developed three major industries: sugar production, shipbuilding, and tobacco. The output value can even be comparable to that of Spain. The colonies have been developed, what a rich country it should be!

The Spaniards present all lowered their heads, no one knew what they were thinking?

Leopold was quite a stubborn man... or a bit of a fool, he should have left Mexico City long ago, and should not have put the American capital of the Spanish Empire in Mexico City, but in Havana, Cuba as the capital.Because there is the first choice for Germans to immigrate to America, and it also has absolute safety.

However, Leopold chose Mexico City, which belonged to the white natives of New Spain, as his capital. The Spanish-speaking white natives in Mexico City had very limited loyalty to Leopold.

Moreover, the long-term comfortable life has long worn away their martial spirit, and their fighting will is more than one level behind those German veterans in Cuba!

And after Leopold sent away the Aztec envoy Walzin, there was nothing he could do to cheer up these whites and mixed-race whites who could only be lords, and he was not good at doing this.

So in the next week or two, all the Spanish emperor did was pray in Chapultepec Castle, praying that God would quickly send Admiral Eugene, Duke of Lorraine, to save Mexico City...

On October 10th, the Spanish emperor knelt in front of the icon of Jesus and muttered words as usual, begging God to save him for a while, and then talking endlessly about the crimes of Louis XIV—if it wasn’t for his betrayal, the Ottomans would It is impossible to take down Vienna, and he is still the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire!When it came to excitement, Emperor Leopold couldn't help crying.When I was crying sadly, I only heard a "bang", and the door of the church that was closed was suddenly knocked open.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Leopold heard a burst of noisy voices pouring in from outside.

He had a premonition that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped praying, then stood up, and stumbled towards the church door, only to find Count Stallenberg standing there panting, surrounded by a group of panicked people German Guards.

"Count, what happened?" As soon as Leopold's words came out, a series of gunshots were faintly heard!

"Where was the gun shot? Why is it so noisy outside?" Leopold looked flustered, "Could it be that someone rebelled?"

It turned out that these days, he also vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the Spaniards, native whites, and mixed-race whites in Mexico City who lacked "white content"!

"No," Earl Stallenberg shook his head in pain, "Your Majesty, this is not a rebellion, but a surrender!"

"Surrender? Surrender to whom?"
