Chapter 976: Fight back against Britain!

In Nanjing City. Chen Ming received the news sent by the North American Clipper that China and the United States had gone to war. Of course, the British did not intervene in this war, but the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh joined the Americans. This is very deceiving.

Everyone knows that Tecumseh is an Indian chief who was strongly supported by the British, and Chen Ming also knows Tecumseh. At the beginning, Tecumseh and his brother went from house to house and went deep into the tribes to conduct secret connections. After years of hard work, many chiefs and military commanders of Indian tribes had direct contact with Tecumseh and recognized Tecumseh.

Tecumseh then organized Indian troops based on the Shawnee at the intersection of Tippecanlo Bay and the Wabush River, and established a tribal defense alliance. At the beginning, the number of participants reached as many as 5,000. They were all warriors from the Shawnee, Delaware, Ojibwe, Ottawa, Kekapo, and Potawatomi. Then this armed force has now expanded to more than 10,000 people. Its political organization is in the form of a "republic" and opposes the unequal agreements imposed on the Indians by outsiders. Tecumseh advocated that the land belongs to all Indians, and no tribe has the right to claim ownership of a piece of land. Therefore, no tribe or part of a tribe can transfer the ownership of the land without the consent of all Indians. This idea and this joint force are a threat to both China and the United States.

Tecumseh's ideas have been spread very successfully, and it can be said to be a new Indian national movement.

If this idea can be spread among the Indians for decades, it is possible that the Indians can really become a nation and create an independent country. Rather than a loose tribal alliance.

Chen Ming is very concerned about Tecumseh, because the joint armed forces in his hands are the most powerful force among the American Indians today.

Now this force stands on the side of the United States. I guess the Americans have given up a lot of interests, and the British must have brokered it.

Because everyone knows that Tecumseh is an ally of the British. This great Indian chief is known for his bravery and good fighting skills. In order to defend his homeland, he fought against the US military many times in his youth. In 1791, he defeated the invader Governor St. Clair. He had long begun to train his tribe's army with the model of the Western army. In 1803, after the French sold Louisiana to China, he and his twin brother (nicknamed "The Prophet") launched a revival self-defense movement in Ohio. Based on the tribal alliance, he called on all Indians to unite to resist the invasion of whites and Chinese, called on Indians to get rid of alcoholism, stop ceding land, promote native religions, form a tribal alliance, and begin to accept British funding. In recent years, he has been working hard to form an Indian tribal alliance in the Midwest.

In history, Tecumseh served the British in the Second Anglo-American War. He died in 1813 and was dismembered and skinned by the US military. But now in this time and space, he has become a comrade-in-arms of the old Americans.

Although Chen Ming didn't know the tragic outcome of Tecumseh in history, he knew that the enemy after Tecumseh formed the Indian Tribal Alliance was mainly the Americans, not China. In fact, in recent years, although China has had many conflicts with the Indians in the Louisiana region, it has always kept a distance from Tecumseh's tribal alliance. Even if Tecumseh planned to form an Indian Grand Alliance, which was aimed directly at China and the United States, and the framework of his Grand Alliance included some Indian tribes that moved from the west coast to the inland, making the anti-China tendency within it more obvious, Chen Han's relationship with it was far better than that of the Americans. No matter how obvious the anti-China tendency was, the garrison troops did not make any small moves against it.

Now that the two sides are going to fight, the Indians are still helping their biggest enemy, the Lighthouse Country. It has to be said that fate is playing tricks on people.

"The British are living too comfortably."

Chen Ming looked at the British Isles on the map, and his anger was rising. The British are really a shit-stirring stick. They stir up trouble everywhere, even in the deepest cesspools.

"Your Majesty, we should let the European Office question the British first. Then let Mysore, Gorkha and other countries start a war against the Marathas. Instigate the Sikhs in northwestern India to establish an independent country."

France, led by Napoleon, has lost its unique position in the Hyderabad Palace. The French instructors in the Maratha army have been replaced by the British. Now the French power can be said to have completely withdrawn from India. The Marathas quickly changed direction and mixed with the British. It is impossible to say that there is no influence of Chen Han here.

Chen Han has been expanding his influence in India for many years, but there are certain contradictions between the several people supported by Chen Han and the Marathas. The Marathas and the British are huddled together for warmth. If Chen Han now orders his vassal states to launch an offensive against the Marathas, it will be a prying of the British. But this is also a tooth-for-tooth response to the British!

Wang Qi, the new director of the Cabinet Office, said so.

There is no need to wait for the reply from the European Office, just let Mysore and Gorkha take action and beat them first.

Wang Qi is a person who has not been recorded in history. In the history of the original time and space, he may have been just a farmer, a vendor, an inconspicuous bureaucrat, and lived his life in obscurity. But in this changed time and space, Wang Qi, now 55 years old, has 38 years of political experience, starting from the most basic civil servants, and step by step rose to his current position.

In the competition to become the next chief minister of the cabinet, he even defeated Xiao Lou. Wang Qi's successful appointment as director of the Cabinet Office is an obvious example. And at Chen Han's highest-level meeting resolution, he was also qualified to speak.

"Although Ireland was completely annexed by Britain, it was not without resistance forces within it. Napoleon once provided material and financial support to it. But after 1805, Napoleon gave up this move. Our country can definitely put on the The French vest supports the Irish Freedom Organization for the second time," Wang Qi continued. A blow to the Marathas was only an indirect blow to the British, supporting the Irish was a direct wound to the British.

"Furthermore, the British and the Austrians are constantly getting closer. Intelligence shows that the Austrians are eager for revenge. They may take advantage of the opportunity when Napoleon and the main French army are trapped in Spain to collude with the British again and set off a fifth anti-French wave. Your Majesty, you can Confidence to His Majesty the Sultan of Istanbul, please ask Selim III to mobilize the Ottoman border guards and the armies of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldova to conduct a military exercise in Transylvania, Austria. "

Wallachia, Moldova, and Austrian-dominated Transylvania, together became Romania.

Transylvania is the easternmost territory of Austria and has also become the starting point for the Austrian defense and attack on the Ottoman Empire. If the Ottomans held a military exercise there, Austria's energy would inevitably be attracted there. This will naturally affect Austria's war against France, which helps Napoleon to a certain extent. And Chen Han helped Napoleon, which was equivalent to hitting London.

Chen Ming's eyes moved. The methods Wang Qi mentioned boiled down to one sentence - to create trouble for the British.

Didn't the latter create obstacles for Chen Han in America? Then Chen Han had no choice but to create obstacles for the British in Europe.

The two to three hundred thousand elite French troops now led by Napoleon were trapped in the Spanish quagmire. Although 1808 was a year when Spain's population continued to decrease, the Spaniards also used this war of blood and fire to reshape their own image.

During the Battle of Zaragoza, the French army surrounded the city for several months before finally capturing the city's outer fortifications in early 1809. and invaded the city. But in the city, the French army encountered unprecedented heroic resistance. Every house became a fortress, and every hut, stable, cellar, and attic had to be conquered in a battle. This fierce fighting lasted for three weeks in this city that had been occupied by the French army. French soldiers massacred everyone indiscriminately, including women and children. Because, as long as the French soldiers are a little negligent, women and children will kill them. The French army 'annihilated' 20,000 garrison troops and more than 30,000 city residents. Lannes, who commanded the French army, was a brave cavalryman who participated in

Through all the fierce battles commanded by Napoleon, there was almost no word 'fear' in his mind. However, such a person was also frightened by the terrible situation before him.

The horrifying scene shocked me. Countless corpses of men, women and children lay side by side on the streets filled with blood. The whole city fell into a deathly silence.

1809 arrived, and it had been more than half a year since Napoleon officially attacked Spain. The war in Spain was far from over, and the anti-French fire was still burning in the spring of 1809. The brave and fearless Spanish people held back Napoleon's 300,000 elite troops. Napoleon now had to admit that the 'opposition' of the European Office was correct. He had already felt the heavy burden caused by his ambition, but he still had to persist. Go down. Because this war is about the dignity of France and the dignity of the Napoleonic Empire.

But Napoleon handed over command to Soult at Astorga and quickly returned to Paris because there was definite news that Austria would launch an attack on France in the spring.

Chen Ming didn't know the situation in Europe yet, but he felt that Napoleon would definitely know about Austria's actions. Because a country's military preparations will cause huge fluctuations, which cannot be covered up at all.

As a traditional army power in Europe, Austria's entire army has undergone new changes after a series of previous disastrous defeats.

In 1806, Austria's first general, Archduke Karl, once again served as chairman of the Supreme Military Council and concurrently as commander-in-chief of the Austrian army. He continued the military reforms that had not been completed during his previous term. He first established a general headquarters to unify the command of the entire army; then established military academies and implemented a reserve military service system; he reformed the army's organization and organized the cavalry into several independent regiments. The artillery units dispersed in various infantry battalions were gathered together to form a regiment, and a medical team, a military horse supplementary team, and a military post office were set up. A system of on-site collection of military supplies was implemented to reduce the burden of military transportation. Through his vigorous reforms, the Austrian army has made many improvements in just a few years, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

It's just that the Austrian army at this time has definitely not completed all reforms. Austria is so eager to collude with the British again, which shows the great influence of the big quagmire of Spain on France.

Chen Han's two main opponents on the American continent, the Spanish and the Americans, both received help from the British. If the Spanish colonial authorities in the Americas had not received support from the British in the second half of 1808, the war might have started in 1808. The winter of the year is over.

The Spaniards would lose both the viceroyalties of Colombia and Peru. Then the next person to face China is Argentina and Portugal.

But the fact is not so. The Spaniards held on. They got the support of the British. A large amount of arms and military funds were sent to the Spaniards by British merchant ships, so that the main military force of Chen Han was still trapped in South America.

Austria in Europe declared war on France, which was actually similar to the war between the Lighthouse Country and Chen Han in North America. They all took advantage of the fact that the main force of the opponent was "trapped" somewhere else and took the opportunity to speculate.

The history of the original time and space proved that the Austrians lost more than they gained. And Chen Ming was absolutely confident in suppressing America.

There were not many good things like King Wu's attack on Zhou in thousands of years. It took nearly ten years for Gou Jian to defeat Wu. From 482 BC, when King Fu Chai of Wu led his elite troops to the north to Huangchi for the alliance, to the Battle of Li Ze in 478 BC, which defeated the main force of the Wu army, to 473 BC, when the Yue army invaded Wudu and the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, it took nearly ten years. Gou Jian's destruction of Wu in history was not the legendary destruction of Wu in one fell swoop.

“The British are so annoying!”
