Valley Emperor

On the Wanbei in the fleet, Rear Admiral Mo Shuheng, the commander of the naval **** fleet, was also looking at the port ahead with a group of officers with binoculars!

Speaking of which, this is the official ship of the Datang Navy. It is the first time that it has arrived in Europe. Although the Datang Western Trading Company has organized several fleets, it has come to Spain with great pains and brought back some valuable information. But how can the data be seen in detail?

Just listening to Rear Admiral Mo Shuheng looking at it with his binoculars, a major naval officer beside him said directly: "Masters, if we want to fight this Cadiz, how confident are we?"

"Taking our fleet as a reference, there is no problem in directly blocking the port, but I see that they have a lot of artillery batteries, which is a relatively big threat to the ordinary wooden ships in our fleet, but even so, we still You can rely on the Wanbei and Tongzhou to go directly to the port, and then destroy their forts one by one!"

"Yes, when their forts are cleaned up, other ships will be able to keep up, and then they will directly destroy the port facilities and land. Didn't we bring more than 800 embassy guards, plus the 500 we had on board. There is no problem at all with the Marines and crew of 2,000 people, and it is enough for 2,000 people to fight a port."

"With our current strength, in such a port city, the casualties in the attack on the port will not exceed ten, and the casualties in the landing operation will not exceed twenty!"

Rear Admiral Mo Shuheng did not participate in their conversation.

However, although Mo Shuheng didn't interrupt, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the arrogance of his subordinates.

Blocking the port and destroying their port fort is not a big problem, but the two thousand patchwork landing troops want to easily win the most important port of the Spaniards, so it is self-confidence.

No matter how **** Spain is, they also know that the most important port of Cadiz is guarded by heavy troops. There are also bastion facilities in it, and these fortress facilities are also several hundred meters away from the port.

At that time, the naval guns in the fleet will not be able to directly bombard other people's fortresses.

When the fight really starts, it is impossible to win this place at the cost of dozens of casualties.

It is best to be prepared to pay hundreds of casualties!

When one vote of naval officers was planning how to attack this port city, Xu Zhenchuan had already approached the dock with a merchant ship of over 1,000 tons.

After the ship stabilized, a large group of Spaniards also appeared on the pier.

After Xu Zhenchuan took a deep breath, he looked at his attire, the standard clothing of high-ranking imperial officials, without any rudeness.

Just after disembarking, the Spaniard who greeted him was a red-haired barbarian dressed in a mess. Although Xu Zhenchuan could see from this person's clothing and the respectful attitude of others, this should be the Spaniard noble who was responsible for welcoming him. .

As a decent Tang official, he should maintain etiquette.

But when things came to an end, he still didn't care about maintaining his dignity, then he stretched out his hand to cover his nose, and then involuntarily took a step back.

Nima, this taste is unbearable!

This person didn't feel it when he was far away, but when he walked in, the stench hit his face, which made Xu Zhenchuan, who had been tested by the officialdom and had already practiced the skill of keeping his face straight, unable to hold it back.

Not only Xu Zhenchuan frowned and covered his nose, but many of his entourages also covered their noses.

But although it smells bad, diplomatic etiquette is still necessary. Xu Zhenchuan held his breath, took a step forward, and said a polite word.

Then I heard the stinking nobleman say a lot, the Spanish's tone was very strange, to Xu Zhenchuan, it was no different from a strange bird.

Fortunately, there is an interpreter, otherwise it would not be possible to communicate.

After finally getting through the welcome ceremony on the pier, Xu Zhenchuan and others couldn't wait to get on the carriage.

This carriage was not a carriage provided by the Spaniards, but an official four-wheeled carriage brought by Xu Zhenchuan from China. Of course, the horses had to be provided by the Spaniards.

After getting on the carriage, Xu Zhenchuan was the one who took a big mouthful of breath!

Ma Dan, this mission to Europe is really not easy. When I go back, I have to prepare a lot of masks, otherwise I will catch some infectious diseases in this broken place sooner or later.

If he died in a foreign country, who would he reason with!

Xu Zhenchuan and other members of the mission, including the more than 500 members of the guards who went ashore first, passed through the urban area of ​​Cadiz, but their goal was not in the urban area. The Spaniards are not willing to let these 500 Tang armed forces stationed in their city.

Entering the city now is just part of the welcome ceremony, which is regarded as a sightseeing tour.

Just passing through the city, Xu Zhenchuan and the others, and even the soldiers of the guards, all looked very ugly, and many people vomited all the way...

The smell in this city is too bad, there is excrement and urine everywhere!

Xu Zhenchuan saw someone upstairs pouring feces and urine into the street below...

That scene was so terrifying that Xu Zhenchuan couldn't bear to look directly at it!

After the welcome ceremony was over, they went straight to the embassy area that had been selected in advance!

The embassy area is not in the urban area, but in the coastal area on the outskirts of the city. The Spaniards are still very generous. They directly converted a large piece of coastal land to Datang as the embassy area, and built a few simple buildings in advance.

However, these buildings can only be used for residence in the early stage. In the later stage, Datang will definitely need to build the embassy area by itself, including the embassy, ​​the garrison barracks, the wharf, etc.

After entering the embassy area, Xu Zhenchuan took a big breath. This is the outskirts of the city, and the embassy area was already enclosed by Spain in advance. Naturally, they would not be kind enough to help Datang build a wall or something, but simply build it. Just a wooden fence.

But no matter what, there is no longer a Spaniard in the embassy area, so Xu Zhenchuan can breathe with peace of mind.

After arriving at the embassy area, Xu Zhenchuan and the others did not immediately move to the simple building built by the Spaniards to work, but set up tents to live temporarily, and then saw a large group of people wearing white rubber guards, carrying wooden barrels, Disinfection of buildings and fields throughout the embassy area began.

Hygiene, this is the top priority, everything else has to be in the back!

After the cleaning and sanitation lasted for most of the day, the personnel of the mission settled down temporarily!

Next, their main job was to rectify the embassy area and build simple fortifications to prevent the Spaniards from going back and forth against the embassy.

And the ships in the port also started unloading!

Most of them are supplies, food and weapons and building materials needed by the mission itself.

In addition, some are sold to the Spaniards as a symbol of friendship between China and the West.

The Spaniards obtained half of the first batch of ordnance that Datang sent to Europe, enough to arm the infantry divisions with various weapons and supplies.

The remaining half, according to the original plan, the Portuguese will buy a part, and the other part is ready to sell to other European countries such as France.

However, all ordnance weapons will only be sold to countries or nobles who resist the Tatars.

At least the English won't get any army ordnance, because they don't plan to send troops to Europe for the time being to help the continent resist the Tatars.

At present, the primary goal of the English is to fight the naval blockade of the Spanish and Portuguese. For the time being, they have no interest or strength to land on the European continent and participate in the fight against the Tatars.

Besides, they were more than happy to see the Tartars attack France and Spain and the Portuguese, weakening them.

As for the Tatars occupying the entire European continent, will they pose a threat to England.

Hawkins has already given the nobles in England a reassurance: the sky falls and there is a tall man on it!

Who is the tall guy?

Who else could it be, it must be from the Tang Dynasty!

Datang talent is the biggest enemy of the Tatars, okay!

In order to fight against the Tatars who have occupied the entire European continent, the Datang people definitely need England as a bridgehead. Whether it is counterattack or containment, the Datang people will not sit back and watch England be conquered by the Tatars.

With the powerful maritime power of the Tang Dynasty, the entire English Channel can be blocked in minutes!

Based on various circumstances, the English have little interest in resisting the Tatars, but are very happy to see France, Spain and other continental European countries and the Tatars beating to death.

Based on the attitude of the English, the Datang Empire would naturally not sell the army's ordnance to the English.

But it is limited to army weapons, but the naval warships and the like are still for sale. The navy also expects the English to continue to take advantage of them and buy more of their scrapped sail wooden warships.

Xu Zhenchuan arrived in Spain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and continued to maintain close contact with the Spanish and Portuguese. The armaments and supplies brought in were also sold to Spain and the Portuguese, and other European countries such as France also bought a lot.

When the ordnance that was enough to arm two infantry divisions sold out, it was the twenty-eighth year of Xuanping.

At this time, Xu Zhenchuan also received news that the 30,000-strong Eastern Expedition Coalition organized by France and other Central European countries and nobles suffered a fiasco on the front line a month ago.

The 30,000-strong coalition lost more than half of the total, none of the infantry and artillerymen fled back, and only more than 2,000 cavalry escaped successfully.

This news is even more shocking than the previous fall of Moscow and Kyiv!

Well, there is always good news and bad news. The coalition's fiasco is bad news, and the good news is that the Ottoman Empire has won a battle in the Balkans!

After the Tatars occupied the Ukrainian plain, in addition to marching to Central Europe, they also dispatched troops to the southwest, that is, the Danube River Basin, so naturally they were against the Ottomans.

This is not the first time the two sides have fought. In the past few years, the two sides have fought several battles in West Asia!

In this battle in the Danube Valley, the Tatars themselves were insufficiently prepared, while the Ottomans had already realized the threat of the Tatars, and took measures to lure the enemy into the depths and take about seven or eight thousand Tatars who underestimate the enemy. The troops led to the Danube Valley, and took advantage of the mountainous terrain of the Balkan Peninsula to organize five or six times the strength of the Tatars to encircle and ambush.

In this battle, although the Ottomans took the initiative to lure the enemy and ambush with several times their troops, killing about 3,000 Tatars, their losses were still huge.

It is said that the Ottoman Empire lost at least tens of thousands of troops in this series of battles.

The ambush battle is still marked like this, which shows the strength of the Tatars!
