When the Ming Dynasty attacked Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire also occupied part of the territory of Tsarist Russia. At that time, the Ming Dynasty did not take action against them because they were too strong.

It's different now. The Ming Dynasty has a large number of Ming Alliance troops, including more than 200,000 Cossack cavalry.

Although the cavalry gradually lost its advantage with the popularity of firearms, it was still very powerful at this time.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and no one dared to send troops easily.

Even if Tian Jianxiu wanted to attack the Ottoman army, the other four countries did not dare to move, and the Ming Alliance Army was unable to defeat the Ottoman army alone.

Tian Jianxiu was furious. Even if he pointed at them and scolded them, the Counts of Shikoku did not dare to refute, and could only send people to ask for help from home.

…

After receiving the information, Emperor Shenwu did not blame the four countries of the Chinese Alliance, but sent an order to recruit 100,000 Cossack cavalry, 50,000 Rus, and 200,000 Mongolian cavalry to support the Ming Alliance Army.

In order to destroy the Ottoman Empire, Emperor Shenwu also ordered to recruit 400,000 Ming confederate troops from Japan, Korea, Jiaozhi, Burma, Luzon, Nanhai Province and other places to send troops by sea to attack the Ottoman Empire.

Emperor Shenwu also made adjustments to the previous plan to let the Safi Empire troops enter the Ottoman Empire and decided to let the Safi Empire attack the Arab world.

Most of the Arab territories were in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. At this time, they were facing the menacing Allied forces and they were unable to take care of these overseas territories.

With the strength of the Safi Empire, it should be able to capture Baghdad and control the Middle East.

Of course, Ming Dynasty will send some Ming Alliance troops to participate in the war, thereby taking over several large oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and other areas will be jointly managed with the Allied forces.

In order to compete for favorable territory, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty could no longer remain idle. Shi Lang was ordered to lead the ocean-going fleet to Egypt.

Egypt is located in the northeastern part of Africa, at the transportation hub of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, bordering Sudan to the south, Libya to the west, the Red Sea to the east and Palestine, connected to Europe across the sea via the Mediterranean Sea to the north, and facing Saudi Arabia to the southeast.

Egypt's geographical location is so important that Ming Dynasty must control it in its own hands.

Another main reason why Emperor Shenwu valued Egypt was the Suez Canal that would be opened in Egypt in the future.

The Suez Canal is a sea-level waterway that runs through the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt, connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, and is the shortest route from Europe to the Western Pacific.

It is one of the most frequent routes in the world and is the junction between Asia and Africa. It is also the main channel for travel between Asia, Africa and Europe.

The canal has not yet been opened at this time, but there is an abandoned ancient canal that can be improved and excavated on the original site...

In the future, if the Suez Canal is successfully opened to navigation, the toll charged by Ming Dynasty alone for crossing the river will be absolutely astronomical.

Of course, if you want to control Egypt, you must destroy the Ottoman army entrenched in Egypt. At this time, Egypt is in the hands of the Ottomans.

From the 18th century to the 19th century, Egypt was controlled by France and England.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has taken the lead in controlling Egypt, the French and English should no longer think about it. Whether they can keep their own countries in the future is a question.

As a time traveler, Emperor Shenwu knew this period of history, but he knew absolutely nothing about other countries.

The Chinese Alliance countries are all increasing their troops, and the Ottoman Empire will certainly not sit still and wait for death.

Envoys from the Ottoman Empire were also active in Paris, London, and Madrid at this time, trying to persuade several countries to send troops to support.

France is the most powerful army country in Europe. They do not pay attention to the navy at this time. The Chinese Alliance is running rampant in Europe, which has long damaged their interests.

They would not allow the Eastern Empire to invade their sphere of influence. Even if the Ottoman Empire did not come to ask for help, they would send troops to support it.

Spain and the Netherlands had their colonies in Asia snatched away by the Ming Dynasty, and their power was driven out of Asia by the Ming Dynasty. Their willingness to send troops was even stronger.

The Chinese League is said to be an alliance of five countries, but in fact it is the Ming Dynasty's one-spoken alliance. Which country it attacks is a matter of the Ming Emperor's word.

Originally, Britain was also their ally, but this time Britain did not want to offend Ming.

The uprising of the British bourgeoisie almost overthrew the royal family. It was the Ming Dynasty that provided intelligence and weapons support to save the British royal family.

Therefore, they flatly rejected the Ottoman Empire's request. France sent envoys to lobby, but they were also turned away.

Europeans are like this, and England does not want to see the Ming Dynasty become big in Europe. Although it openly rejected the French envoy, behind the scenes it provided France with 200,000 military support.

Emperor Shenwu didn't care who supported or opposed him. No one from the Eight-Nation Allied Forces would be spared in the future.

The Ming Dynasty was completely confident to defeat them. You need to know how big the Ming Alliance Army was. They were composed of dozens of countries, large and small, but they were unified by the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is said that the sun and the moon shine, and the rivers reach all Han lands, Emperor Shenwu will not let the Ming army occupy the whole world, and he will not even think about it. He knows that it is impossible to defend it.

Europe had no resources and could only fight. What was the use of the Ming Dynasty? The purpose of Emperor Shenwu was to crush them and set Europe back a hundred years.

Japan and Tsarist Russia have been destroyed. After cleaning up the Ottoman Empire and their alliance, Ming's guns will be pointed at England and Portugal.

The Holy Roman Empire will be liquidated in the future, and most of the countries in the Eight-Nation Alliance now belong to the Holy Roman Empire.

Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, is still a few years old. The country is mainly ruled by his mother and Mazarin, and there is also a powerful figure, Prince Condé.

The commander-in-chief of France's troop dispatch this time was Prince Condé. Condé was also the commander-in-chief of the four-nation coalition forces of France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands.

The four-nation coalition forces totaled 260,000 troops, France sent 100,000 troops, and the other three countries sent a total of 160,000 troops.

The French army is relatively strong, and it is nothing to gather a hundred thousand troops, but the other three countries have sent out almost all their main forces.

Especially Spain and the Netherlands, both of them have very powerful navies. The colonies disperse most of their troops, and tens of thousands of troops is their limit.

They used all their wealth to support the Ottoman Empire, which shows how deep their hatred for the Ming Dynasty is. If this battle is defeated, they will have no troops to protect themselves.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...

While France formed a coalition to fight against the Chinese League, the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark added another 200,000 troops.

The four countries also cannot afford to lose. Once defeated, the Ming army can retreat, and then the four countries will no longer have a foothold in Europe.

With the four countries increasing their military strength, the Chinese League's total military input reached a staggering 500,000.

After the first decisive battle, the two sides ceased fighting for twenty days to recruit troops. On the 21st, the Chinese Alliance army once again launched a tidal wave of attacks on the Ottoman army...

At the same time, Zhu Chenggong led the Ming Navy to launch an attack on the coastal areas of the Ottoman Empire. Under the fierce bombardment of the Ming naval guns, many Ottoman coastal towns were successively attacked...

The fighting also continues on the Hungarian steppes...

With the support of Chinese Allied artillery, more than 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry attacked fiercely. The Ottoman army suffered more than half casualties and was quickly defeated...

The coalition forces led by Prince Condé of France joined the battle and temporarily delayed the advance of the Chinese League troops.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the Ottoman Empire assembled another 50,000 troops to continue fighting...

The Chinese League army led by the Ming Dynasty fought against the allied forces led by France. The two sides fell into a stalemate. The Chinese League's cavalry was in the majority and they had a slight advantage for the time being...

But the Ming Navy and Marine Corps went very smoothly, and they continued to conquer the Ottoman coastal areas.

The Ottoman Empire had no choice but to watch the Ming Dynasty's coastal areas fall...

The coastal areas of the mainland are constantly being conquered by the Ming Dynasty. This is not the only bad news. Ottoman territories in North Africa and the Middle East are also being conquered by the Safavid Empire.

June of the ninth year of Shenwu

Egypt has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and places such as Baghdad and Oman have also fallen rapidly. The only overseas territories that have not yet been conquered are Somalia and Yemen.

The fact that places such as Somalia and Yemen were not conquered was not because the Ming Dynasty's navy couldn't defeat them, but because the Ming Dynasty did not want those places where birds could not lay eggs.

The Safi Empire and the Chinese League countries also looked down upon it, and after the demise of the Ottoman Empire, they left Somalia and Yemen to their own devices.

…

The two coalition forces fell into a stalemate and entered a brief confrontation with each other. The Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty quickly reported the battle situation to Emperor Shenwu.

After seeing the battle report, Emperor Shenwu was not anxious, but just smiled. He didn't care at all about the progress of the battle in the Ottoman territory.

Zhu Cixiang's purpose for this war was to hold back the French-led coalition forces so that they could wear each other out.

All those sent by the Ming Dynasty were the Ming Xie Army. At this time, the total strength of the Ming Xie Army was more than one million. At worst, it would only cost some money and ammunition to recruit them again.

Egypt and the Middle East and other places have been captured. How could the Ming Dynasty care about the broken silver and ammunition? It was the coalition forces led by the Ottomans and France that suffered...

…

Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal voluntarily followed France, and they will regret it soon.

Their colonies in the Americas were now in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the troops of the three countries in the Americas would soon be wiped out by the natives.

Because the road is far away and the short-distance sea route is controlled by the Ming Navy, they have not received any news in the country...

…

On the distant sea, a Ming fleet is sailing to France...

Didn't France form an allied force to deal with the Chinese Alliance army? Emperor Shenwu wanted Queen Mother Anna and Mazaran to see the power of the Ming Dynasty's navy.

This fleet was the Ming Dynasty expedition fleet led by Shi Lang. After they captured Egypt, they rested for five days with supplies and set sail again...

A mixed fleet composed of one hundred and fifty battleships, including the ironclad battleship returning from America, and the others were supply ships and hospital ships.

At this time, many wars were going on in the world, from Europe to Asia and the Middle East, to the Americas and North Africa, and the culprit leading the war was none other than Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty.

After the coalition forces led by France joined the war with the Ottoman Empire, the Ming Dynasty immediately cut off trade with these countries.

Batavia, Manila, Malacca, Ceylon and other places were successively occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

Their colonies in America were once again occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and Europe's resources were about to be exhausted.

The war between the two alliances has been going on for two months, but neither side has a clear advantage.

The casualties on both sides were considerable, with the Chinese League suffering over 100,000 casualties and the French-led coalition suffering around 200,000 casualties.

If Ottoman hadn't conducted two more conscriptions, the coalition might not be able to support it anymore...

The Ottoman reserves were already on the battlefield at this time, and European countries led by France began to experience serious resource shortages.
