Chapter 332: The Kingdom of Aragon, the Capital of the White-Eyed Wolf!
Latest website:
Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin walked on the North African continent after disembarking, one after the other until they reached the Kingdom of Aragon before they could meet.
The resistance of the Kingdom of Aragon is not small, but for Zhou Buxin and Zhang Dingbian, this resistance is no different from scratching an itch.
They found the captured King Depero IV and explained to them that the Ming army had no intention of invading Aragon, but only wanted to use the road to attack Rome.
Of course, now that Aragon and the Ming are in conflict, the Ming will compensate Aragon to a certain extent with materials or gold coins. If they are willing to help when the Ming attacks Rome, the compensation will be even more.
No normal person would believe too much in this kind of pie-in-the-sky talk, but the problem is that the brain circuitry of Depero IV and Pedro IV is indeed not like that of a normal person. When Zhang Dingbian heard this
Said, Pedro IV immediately raised his hands in approval and promised that they would help the Ming Dynasty to defeat Rome together. As for the compensation, there was no need for compensation, as long as they could defeat Rome.
This was the first time Zhang Dingbian heard such a statement. After careful questioning, he found out that the original Kingdom of Aragon had always been ruled by Rome. Later, with the rise of the Kingdom of Valois, Aragon had the opportunity to establish its own country. The former Kingdom of Aragon
Gong was under the rule of Rome and had been oppressed for a long time. Now that they finally had a chance to take revenge, they were naturally willing to take action.
After hearing about the love and hatred between Aragon and Rome, Zhang Dingbian was overjoyed. He did not expect that coming to the North African continent would bring unexpected joy. Zhang Dingbian would not tell them that Rome has been occupied.
, now that there is a new force to help, it is not too late for him to be happy.
When the time comes, just send Aragon's troops out as the vanguard.
Then, Zhang Dingbian discovered that Aragon was not only cruel to Rome, but also to the Valois dynasty. When attacking the Valois dynasty, Aragon's soldiers seemed to have taken medicine.
Before the army even took action, Aragon penetrated the defense line of the Valois dynasty. Could it be that Aragon also had a grudge against the ancestors of Valois?
After curious inquiry, I found out that there was no grudge... On the contrary, the Valois dynasty provided a lot of help to Aragon. Without the Valois dynasty, Aragon would have no chance to establish its own country.
The reason for being so vicious is that Pedro IV believed that the Valois dynasty was too powerful. If the strength of Valois could be weakened through war, this would also be a very good thing.
After listening to Pedro IV's explanation, Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin felt bad.
Is there any other explanation?
Then Pedro IV really deserves to die!
Isn’t this special girl a white-eyed wolf?
In the Central Plains, white-eyed wolves usually don't end well. Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin particularly despise such people. No matter who the opponent is, Pedro IV wants to pounce on him and take a bite. They also believe that if one day Pedro IV
If Dro IV gets benefits, they will bite Daming without hesitation.
From now on, you have to guard against them.
In other words... eliminate them in time, and then send officials from the Ming Dynasty here to teach the people here what etiquette, justice, integrity and shame are.
However, Pedro IV is still somewhat useful now. They have a common enemy. As for the rest, we will talk about it later.
Wang Baobao concentrated his main force in the east to deal with Lan Yu's attack, but neglected to control the rear. Therefore, when Zhang Dingbian sent his troops into the Provence area, he basically encountered no resistance and ran rampant all the way.
The Prosnet area was quickly occupied.
When Pedro IV saw that they had captured Roman territory, he was so proud that he immediately ordered a bloodbath in Provence. However, Zhou Buxin directly stopped him and said to him very seriously: "The Ming Dynasty attacked Rome because of this place."
There are enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but the people of Rome are not enemies. Not only must we not cause killings, we must also protect the people as much as possible. Mr. Pedro, anyone who dares to be an enemy of the people is my enemy of the Ming Dynasty."
Faced with Zhou Buxin's righteous words, Pedro IV seemed very dissatisfied.
If you break the enemy's city, don't you have to plunder it? What's the point if you can't plunder?
He wanted to resist, but when he thought about the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Pedro IV gave up. He couldn't defeat it at all...Pedro IV saw that breaking the Roman city would not gain much, so he decisively chose to retreat.
Zhou Buxin did not try to retain him, and simply asked him to lead his troops and leave. He was not worried that Pedro IV would dare to do any tricks against the Ming Dynasty behind his back. If he dared to do so, Zhou Buxin would dare to let him destroy the country.
…
The Mediterranean fleet was the only navy Wang Baobao had on hand. After learning that the Ming Dynasty was attacking from behind, he immediately dispatched the navy to attack Zhang Dingbian's army.
Today, on this sea route, the Su Yinshi Canal has not yet been dug, and the Mediterranean Sea is just a sea area in the middle of a continent. It is difficult for Zhang Dingbian and their ships to enter, so they can only advance by land.
After learning about the appearance of the navy, Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin discussed it and simply chose to ignore Wang Baobao's navy. No matter how powerful they were at sea, they could not affect the actions on land.
"That is to say, our fleet has not entered the Mediterranean. Otherwise, these small sampans of Wang Baobao will know what a fleet is!"
Zhang Dingbian was very disdainful of the navy arranged by Wang Baobao.
Their fleets can sail on the ocean and can withstand strong winds and waves. What about Wang Baobao's navy?
Zhou Buxin: Can it also be called the Navy?
…
Valois dynasty.
In the palace, Philip VI was in a state of distress.
After he established his throne, he immediately started the war. At this time, he was fighting fiercely with England. Who would have thought that there would be a fire in the backyard. Aragon and another country joined forces to attack the southern part of the Valois Dynasty, and very quickly
The city was captured, which really made Philip VI very angry.
Damn it, Pedro IV is very capable, right?
This conspirator will be cut into pieces if given the chance!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the war with England had not left him unable to spare his time, Philip VI would have already taken care of Aragon.
Another dynasty called the Ming Dynasty...
Never heard of it. The culprit is of course Pedro IV.
Philip VI mobilized his troops and prepared to attack Aragon. He wanted to make Pedro IV understand who was the boss.
However, just when Philip VI was about to take action, he was stopped by his ministers: "King, you must not take action!"
"Why can't you do it?"
Philip VI was very confused and scolded the minister who blocked him: "Isn't it the Kingdom of Aragon? Who are they? It's just that insidious villain Pedro who is sneaking up from behind to take advantage of others' danger!"
"If it's not Pedro, the Kingdom of Aragon is nothing. The key is... another country, the Ming Dynasty!"
】
The minister was sweating profusely and explained to Philip VI, "The Ming Dynasty came from the far east. In the past, there was a traveler named Marco Polo in Weishui who went to the east. That country was called the Yuan Dynasty! They were powerful
Incomparable, I once fought to the banks of the Rhine River, I think you, the king, must have an impression."
"yellow……"
The latter word was not spoken, but Philip VI already knew it: "That was the Yuan Dynasty, what does it have to do with the Ming Dynasty?"
"The relationship is serious. The Ming Dynasty was the one who defeated the Mongolian Yuan... Wang Baobao, who now occupied Rome, you know? They were driven to Rome by the Ming Dynasty."
After some explanations from the ministers, Philip VI understood.
The reason why the Kingdom of Aragon dared to attack the Valois Dynasty was because of the help of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was a powerful country that defeated the Yuan Dynasty.
Ah, this...
Philip VI was confused. He felt that he had no enmity with the Ming Dynasty. He had never even heard their names. How could he provoke them to attack Valois?
His minister quickly said: "King, as far as I know, the Ming Dynasty attacked us not to invade us, but to borrow a passage from us. Now they have entered the Provence territory of Rome and are currently fighting against the Ming Dynasty entrenched in Rome.
The Yuan army fought."
"Oh, that's okay."
Philip VI breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Ming Dynasty was not targeting Valois, they were currently at war with England. If they were attacked from behind by the Ming Dynasty, the Valois dynasty, fighting on two fronts, simply could not bear such great war pressure.
.
"Just borrow the road, and send envoys to see the people of the Ming Dynasty, tell them that we are willing to lend them the road, ask them not to join forces with Aragon, and tell them that Pedro IV is a conspirator, he
He has a bad heart, so you must not make a deal with him."
"Yes, my dear king."
The Valois people don't understand what it means to destroy Guo by the false way, nor do they understand what it means to die of lips and teeth. Their ideas are relatively simple, in other words... their ideas are relatively naive.
If Wang Baobao loses, what will happen to them?
…
Now Wang Baobao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would open a second battlefield from behind. In order to face this bad situation, Wang Baobao immediately sent Timur to fight against Lan Yu.
, and then ordered the navy entrenched in the Mediterranean to immediately dispatch to destroy the Ming army that had landed in Provence. He also immediately set off to the Provence region to deploy the war with the Ming Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Qi was very worried when she heard that Wang Baobao was going to fight again.
He knew very well that Wang Baobao had decided to fight to the death with Ming Dynasty.
Now that he is going to the battlefield again, how can Empress Dowager Qi not be worried?
Before Wang Baobao set off, Empress Dowager Qi ordered someone to find Wang Baobao and said that she wanted to summon her.
Although in the palace, everything that should happen to the two people happened, and everything that didn't happen happened, but in front of outsiders, the two of them still behaved very seriously.
In order to avoid taboos, Empress Dowager Qi sat behind a curtain when she met Wang Baobao. Seeing Wang Baobao, Empress Dowager Qi said with distress: "Grand Master, you have to pay attention to your health. I, Dayuan, can persist until now, but I can't
without you."
At the same time, she also said in her heart: I can't live without you.
Wang Baobao could hear the hidden meaning in Empress Dowager Qi's words, but what could he do if he understood?
He said to Empress Dowager Qi: "Your Majesty, Xiyuan is facing enemies from both sides now. It is a critical moment. At this time, we cannot just care about our personal safety. I and Xiyuan share weal and woe!"
These words are more like Wang Baobao trying to strengthen his inner beliefs.
When Queen Mother Qi heard what Wang Baobao said, she couldn't say anything else. She could only say: "Master, please take care of yourself. I... I, Dayuan, cannot live without Grand Master."
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Wang Baobao stood up, turned and left.
For his own ideals and for the future of Dayuan! Wang Baobao will never look back!
…
Dauphine.
It was once a Roman territory. After Philip VI established the Valois Dynasty, he snatched Dauphiné from Rome. When Wang Baobao came to Rome, he took Dauphiné back from the Valois Dynasty.
It is precisely for this reason that the people in Rome are not so repulsive to Wang Baobao, and even hope that he can rule Rome, because Dauphine is close to the papal territory. For the people of Rome, the papal territory is a sacred place. Wang Baobao can
Taking back Dauphiné calmed the hearts of the Roman people.
When Wang Baobao rushed to Dauphiné and started to deal with the Ming attack, he realized that the south of Rome was in chaos at this time. The navy he sent only conducted a landing operation and was directly dispersed.
Zhang Dingbian knew that the Ming Dynasty's navy was insufficient, so he simply adopted the method of luring the enemy deep into the hinterland. After the AD navy's navy penetrated deep into the hinterland, he immediately sent troops to cut off the retreat and directly surrounded and killed the Mediterranean navy.
Upon hearing the news, Wang Baobao sighed.
Ming's army was much stronger than before. He could imagine that the war situation in Provence was rotten, but he didn't expect it to be so rotten that he lost a large part of his strength in just one round.
Do these Romans not even understand the most basic method of luring the enemy in?
I only asked you to delay the Ming Dynasty's offensive, and I didn't ask you to recover the Provence region. If the Ming Dynasty army was so easy to deal with, why would I be driven to Rome?
Wang Baobao felt exhausted mentally and physically, but he could only brace himself to face the enemy.
After the Ming Dynasty captured the Provence region, they did not stop. They sent their troops north and were attacking the Dauphine region.
Following Wang Baobao was Count Louis, a nobleman from Dauphine. He said to Wang Baobao: "Grandmaster John, the Ming army has many weapons that can shoot from a distance. They have already smashed them before we fought them head-on."
I heard that we also have this kind of weapon. Can you take out this kind of weapon? We can use it to resist the Ming Dynasty’s attack.”
Wang Baobao felt even more uncomfortable after hearing what Lewis said.
Their artillery was so heavy that it took twenty horses to pull one artillery piece, and it was very slow. By the time they pulled the artillery over, Dauphine didn't know how many cities the Ming Dynasty had destroyed.
Wang Baobao would not admit that his artillery was defective. He explained: "Those artillery still have to resist the Ming Dynasty's attack in the east. Even if they are transferred, it will take a long time. Now the Ming Dynasty's offensive is fierce. Let's repel their attack first and then put them back."
It would be best if they drove out of Provence."
How can we drive people away without enough weapons?
Louis felt that Wang Baobao was posing a problem for him, but Wang Baobao smiled slightly: "If the soldiers work hard and work together, there is nothing they can't do. Louis, there is an old saying in our place that makes people move together, as long as we work together,
