Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 886: The Vulnerable England, Qin King Zhu Xi Learned The Lessons Of The Qin Dynasty [Please

Even for European nobles, if they rebel halfway, then suddenly regret it and choose to continue to surrender.

Then the European king not only cannot punish the rebellious nobles, but may also need School Disciple to appease him.

In the final analysis, the kings of Europe are not the unifying emperors of China who stick to their word, and their power and strength are not as powerful as the classical emperors of China.

If the European kings were concerned about the power and strength of the nobles, they did not dare to massacre or implicate the rebellious nobles on a large scale.

So why are European kings so "tolerant" to the rebellious people below, and don't massacre all the rebellious people as a warning to others?

And this is also caused by the different cultures and histories between China and Europe.

In China, as early as the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have their own kind"!

As soon as this sentence came out, the rebellious people at the bottom and the emperor at the top were in a fundamental and never-ending situation of opposition.

The people at the bottom wanted to overthrow the emperor at the top through rebellion and become emperor themselves.

The emperor at the top wanted to use the most ruthless means to suppress the unrest of the people below in order to keep his throne.

The relationship between the two parties is incompatible and cannot coexist.

Therefore, in the face of rebellion, whether it is the emperor at the top or the common people at the bottom, both sides are unable to retreat, unable to surrender, and unable to compromise.

Because once you surrender and compromise, your final outcome will be death.

But Europe is different. The current mainstream ideological culture in Europe is still the divine right of kings.

Under the blessing of the religious aura of the divine right of kings, the people of Europe were similar to the people of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They also believed that the blood of kings and nobles was extremely noble, and they were blessed by the gods.

Ordinary people like them cannot become kings or nobles.

To put it bluntly, in the consciousness of European people, the children of dragons are still dragons, the children of phoenix are still phoenixes, and the children of mice are still mice.

Therefore, the current stage of the European people's rebellion is not to overthrow the current hierarchical society, nor to drive away the king.

The fundamental purpose is just to fight for a little bit of their own interests from the European kings and nobles through the act of rebellion.

And this is tolerable and acceptable to European kings and nobles.

After all, it is just to temporarily cut off a little bit of their interests, not to take their throne, nor to take their lives.

At worst, after the turmoil has passed, I and others will squeeze back some of the benefits that were previously ceded to the people.

Therefore, for the kings, nobles and common people of Europe, there was room for rebellion and a way out, and the rebellion did not immediately push both sides to a desperate end.

Therefore, like the "Watt Taylor Rebellion", those rebellious farmers who were halfway through the fight and then said they wanted to return to their hometowns to continue farming were not held accountable afterwards.

Most of the remaining rebellious peasants were sent home after Taylor, the leader of the uprising, was executed.

The main focus is on human nature, or child's play.

At least the people's rebellion in Europe is really a bit of a joke compared to the people's rebellion in China.

Of course, whether the rebellion of the European people was a piece of cake was not important to King Zhu Di of Qin.

The important thing is that after listening to Yan Changqing’s supplementary remarks about the political and social situation of European countries, I immediately realized that now is the best time to immigrate to Europe.

At the same time, he realized that the British Isles were also the most suitable place for him to base his immigration to Europe.

After all, the British Isles are similar in geographical environment to the four Japanese islands in the past.

At the same time, the number of civilians on the island is also small, with only more than two million people.

Moreover, there are enemies outside and the people's hearts are lost internally. The whole country is in a state of chaos caused by internal and external troubles.

Under such circumstances, King Zhu Di of Qin wanted to overthrow the Kingdom of England and occupy and annex the British Isles. It can be said that there is no more suitable time than now.

Therefore, after arriving in Europe, Qin King Zhu Zhen's huge naval fleet ships headed straight for the English Channel without any hesitation.

Then they bombarded with thunderous artillery fire, directly destroying the British and French troops stationed on both sides of the English Channel, seizing the English Channel, and blocking the connection between the European continent and the main island of Leren.

Afterwards, the naval fleet under the command of Qin King Zhu Ping surrounded England Island with a voracious force and quickly landed ashore.

Among them, 50,000 marines stayed behind to guard the naval fleet and clean up the English people in the coastal areas, so as to make room for the Ming immigrants to land ashore and live temporarily.

Another 150,000 elite marines began to rapidly attack various cities on the English islands with thunderous momentum.

And there are 150,000 marines who are tall and strong, well-trained, experienced in battlefield fighting, and equipped with various types of muskets, heartless cannons and other hot weapons.

In this era, on the current island of England, it can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

As mentioned just now, the total population of people on the island of England during this period is about 2.3 million to 2.5 million.

And if calculated based on thirty to one, then the number of soldiers that can be supported on the island of England is currently about 83,000.

And if calculated based on fifteen to one, then the current number of soldiers that can be supported on the island of England is probably about 166,000.

But in reality, if you include the number of large noble families who also need to be supported, the number of soldiers that can actually be supported is far lower than these two figures.

This can be seen from the scale of the Hundred Years War between Britain and France.

During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the maximum number of troops dispatched by England in a single war was about 7,000 to 9,000 men.

As France was fighting on its own territory, the number of troops it mobilized was relatively large, but only around 20,000.

For example, the father of the current King of England, Richard II, Edward the Black Prince, defeated the successor of King John II of France in the battle of Poitiers in 1356.

At that time, France dispatched about 10,000 cavalry, 2,000 crossbowmen, and 10,000 infantry.

England only dispatched 3,000 cavalry and 1,000 longbowmen [two infantry].

The total number of troops invested by both sides was only about 30,000.

Although there must be a certain amount of troops left between the two sides to ensure the security and defense of other parts of the mainland, this number will definitely not be too many.

So normally speaking, whether it is England or France, their general standing military strength is about tens of thousands, and will basically not exceed 50,000.

Is it because Britain and France don't want to invest more troops?

No, it was purely because the kings of Britain and France could not spare more troops!

The reason is also due to the different development paths chosen by Qin Shihuang and the Roman Empire.

At that time, Qin Shihuang followed the path of abolishing feudalism and unifying the central government with a high degree of centralization. Therefore, all Chinese dynasties after that also followed the path of abolishing feudalism and unifying the central government with a high degree of centralization.

In this case, the classical Chinese emperors were able to mobilize the resources and power of the entire country to the maximum extent.

Therefore, since the Qin Dynasty, the unified state of China has been able to deploy hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops at every turn.

If we are more aggressive, it is not impossible to explode millions of troops.

The route taken by the Roman Empire was essentially the route of enfeoffment, so all European countries after that also followed the route of enfeoffment.

This line of enfeoffment can be summed up by a popular saying in European history: "The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals."

Under the hierarchical enfeoffment system, the king entrusted the territory to the great noble lords, and the great aristocratic lords also entrusted their territories to the small noble lords. Finally, the small noble lords also entrusted their territories to knights.

Under this layer of enfeoffment, although the European king nominally owned the country, the king could not directly mobilize the resources and power of the entire country.

When the country needs to fight foreign countries, the king needs to recruit noble and lords, big and small, to send troops to assist in the battle.

This kind of troops recruited through layers of force was intercepted by more or less layers of nobility and lords, big and small.

Therefore, in the end, the number of troops that a king can mobilize may be only a fraction, or even a dozen, of a country's overall military strength.

Moreover, the relationship between the king and the nobility and lords, large and small, is also complicated. He does not have the supreme power of the Chinese classical emperors to follow his instructions and do whatever he wants. Sometimes he is even controlled by a large number of nobility and lords.

For example, in 1215, the King of England was defeated by a group of noble and lords, large and small, and was forced to sign the "Magna Carta of Liberty", the core content of which was to limit the royal power.

From this incident, we can know that the interests of the King of England and the noble lords in the country are not consistent, "there are also serious conflicts between them.

Therefore, the 150,000 marines and marines under the command of King Zhu Di of Qin who were responsible for the attack were not only facing England, a country with only tens of thousands of standing troops.

It is also an England where tens of thousands of troops are scattered and controlled by dozens or hundreds of noble lords, large and small, and are not under each other's control.

Under such circumstances, the cities and castles of the large and small aristocratic lords in the English island kingdom each have a military strength ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

Moreover, these noble lords are still fighting alone, and it is difficult to unite quickly and unite.

Therefore, even if Qin King Zhu Di's 150,000 marines were divided into fifteen lines to attack at the same time, each line would only have 10,000 marines [which was not something that the noble lords in England could resist.

In addition, during the Mongol Yuan expedition to Europe in the past, they also brought thermal weapons based on gunpowder to Europe.

However, the current era of gunpowder and hot weapons in Europe is only in its infancy. The wars in European countries in the Middle Ages were still dominated by cold weapons.

The Ming Dynasty followed the essence of the research and application of gunpowder and thermal weapons in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and then based on this basis, they innovated and even got help from Yan Changqing, a scientific sage.

The current use of gunpowder and thermal weapons in the Ming Dynasty has not only reached the stage of Yan Changqing's previous life and the modern Republic of China, but it has at least reached the peak stage of the Yongle Dynasty in original history.

And in terms of combat thinking, Yan Changqing also adopted combat methods such as cross-fire coverage that combine advanced modern hot weapons with cold weapons in his previous life.

So whether it is in terms of the number of its own troops, or in terms of command and dispatch, unity and unity.

Or in terms of weapons and equipment, or in terms of combat thinking.

All of them are far inferior to the king of England and the navy and marines under the command of King Zhu Ping of Qin, as well as all the people of all sizes.

of noble lords.

They brought a hammer to resist the marines under Qin King Zhu Di!

Even if the King of England and various noble lords, large and small, want to rely on their respective cities and castles to use strong walls to clear the country, they can resist the naval generals under the command of King Zhu Di of Qin.

scholar.

However, in the face of the continuous artillery bombardment from various marines and soldiers under the command of Qin King Zhu Ping, basically no city or castle could withstand it.

Therefore, the various cities and castles on the English islands basically could not resist for too long, and the gates of the cities and castles were opened by artillery.

After conquering these cities and castles, the marines under Qin King Zhu Pang captured all the noble lords, big and small officers in the cities and castles.

Then, no one will be left alive, and they will all be killed!

The remaining soldiers surrendered their weapons.

All wooden weapons were broken and burned.

All iron weapons and armor were sunk into nearby rivers, lakes, or wells.

The purpose is to reduce the subsequent resistance ability of these soldiers.

Then they put all these soldiers into prison, leaving only one Jin Yiwei who knew how to speak English and five hundred soldiers to guard these soldiers, as well as suppress the city and the city.

The people in the fort.

Then the remaining 9,500 marines along the way continued to attack the city and castle of the next English noble lord.

When King Qin Zhu Peng sent 150,000 marines and soldiers into fifteen groups, they launched a thunderous attack at the same time.

King Richard II of England, as well as other noble lords large and small, did not even have time to receive the news that other noble lords were attacked by the enemy.

It was as if he suddenly opened his eyes and saw thousands of enemy soldiers with well-equipped equipment and terrifying firepower, attacking his own cities and castles.

What's even worse is that these enemy soldiers still can't understand what they and others are saying. Even if they want to negotiate in exchange for withdrawing their troops or something, the other party won't listen at all.

The main focus is on a person who only wants to conquer their cities and castles, and is not interested in anything else!

What's worse than what's worse is that the cities and castles of himself and others really can't withstand such a ferocious enemy army.

In as little as half a day, in as long as three or five days, their cities and castles were captured by the enemy.

What was even worse was that after the enemy troops broke through their cities and castles, they still had no intention of communicating with them.

Just looking at the bright and brightly dressed people, who might be kings or noble lords, the enemy soldiers simply chopped them off with a single blow, without even leaving a chance to leave a last word.

Will not give it to them.

King Richard II of England and a group of lords and nobles did not even know whose hands they had died until they died.

The reason for this is that Qin King Zhu Di also learned the lessons of the past Qin's fall.

At that time, the Qin Dynasty did not completely kill the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, so it led to the collapse of the Six Kingdoms.

The nobles of the six countries are still inciting the people to rebel and rebel, making the already unstable Daqin even more precarious.

The current King of Qin Zhu Feng is like the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng who destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and the King of England and a group of noble lords, large and small, are like the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in the past.

In order to maintain his absolute rule, it was absolutely impossible for King Zhu Di of Qin to allow the King of England and other aristocratic lords in England to continue to hold important positions under his rule.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the King of England and other English noble lords will join forces to secretly exclude him as an outsider, or even reunite to overthrow his conquest.

It is also very possible to be convinced.

And if the King of England and a group of English noble lords who have also lost their power status do not die, they will never be willing to lose them like this.

It turns out to be of lofty status and power.

Therefore, they will inevitably continue to secretly incite the people to rebel and rebel like the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in the past, so as to overthrow the rule of King Zhu Di of Qin and add more power to King Zhu Di of Qin.

Tons of trouble.

In order to avoid following the old path of the Qin Dynasty again, King Zhu Di of Qin chose the cleanest and most convenient way to directly transfer the King of England and all the English noble lords.

killed.

In this way, the people of England will fall into a state of leaderlessness. Even if someone wants to rebel, there will be no king or noble lord with enough authority to stand up and lend a helping hand.
