Valley Emperor

Ceuta in Morocco, North Africa, is not only the largest military base of the Tang Empire in North Africa-Europe, but also the largest colony of the Tang Empire in North Africa-Europe.

Since the Datang Empire purchased this piece of land through friendly negotiation from the Kingdom of Morocco, this place has become the undisputed rule of the Datang Empire.

Centered on the port of Ceuta, at first it only extended 15 kilometers inland and belonged to Datang's territory, but then the Datang Navy and several sampan wooden ships of the Kingdom of Morocco conducted a friendly joint military exercise.

Subsequently, the Kingdom of Morocco stated that the current area of ​​Tang’s Ceuta was too small, which had wronged the distinguished Tang Empire, and offered to give the entire peninsula, generally all areas within 150 kilometers south of the Strait of Gibraltar to the the Tang Dynasty.

As a result, the Tang Dynasty officially established a state in the area, called Ceuta, and dispatched a series of officials and organized immigrants to go there.

By the 37th year of Xuanping, Ceuta already had about 10,000 Tang people living, although more than half of them were soldiers of the army and navy, and the remaining half were businessmen and sailors of the Tang Dynasty who traveled to and from Europe. , the real immigrants who live here are only a few thousand ordinary people.

However, Ceuta, with tens of thousands of people, has still become the largest stronghold of the Datang Empire in North Africa and Europe.

In order to ensure the safety of Ceuta and play its role as a strategic support point, the Datang Empire built a huge port facility in Ceuta, along with three forts, and even more than 250 forts were deployed on the Ceuta fort. Millimeter front-loaded rifled guns, and dozens of other small and medium calibers.

The fort and the urban area are basically a complete military fortress. The local garrison said that even if the fleet is not included, the defensive strength of the Ceuta fortress alone is enough to resist the attack of the entire European natives.

Well, when they talk big, they naturally forget the importance of ammunition supply.

Although the city of Ceuta has hoarded a lot of ammunition, if the natives don’t want to die, and hundreds of thousands of people are thrown up to rush up, the ammunition of the Ceuta fortress will be exhausted sooner or later. Once the ammunition is exhausted, the guns It also loses its effect, and I am afraid that it will not be very good at that time.

However, there is a high probability that this situation will not occur, because even if the entire Europeans don't want to use millions of people to attack, but as long as the Datang Navy, no, even if only the ordinary merchant ships of the Datang are still there, then Ceuta's ammunition The supply will not be cut off.

On the earth today, there is no maritime force that can intercept Datang's maritime transport!

Ceuta City was the strategic support point of the North African-European region of the Tang Empire, not only for defense, but also for offense.

If Datang wanted to launch large-scale military operations in North Africa and Europe, it would deploy troops and materials from all over the world to Ceuta, and when the troops and materials were ready, they would launch an attack from Ceuta.

Although Datang has not launched large-scale military operations in Europe before, Datang has been preparing for it.

This is actually not aimed at the European natives such as Spain, England, France, but the Tatars.

Although the Tatars were intercepted in France, as well as in the Balkans and the Italian peninsula, the Tatar Golden State still gained a firm foothold in Europe.

At present, the territory under its control has been extremely vast.

In Western Europe, the iron cavalry of the Tatar Golden Kingdom has penetrated into the outskirts of Paris many times, making European countries extremely terrified.

So in recent years, Paris has become a fortress. The Western European defense line at the core of Paris has brought together the coalition forces of European countries from France, Spain, Portugal and even England. They are equipped with flintlock guns and smoothbore guns provided by Datang in large quantities. And all kinds of materials are struggling to resist the Tatars.

In the southern part of Central Europe, the Tatars already controlled all the regions north of the Alps and the kingdoms of the Italian peninsula. Under the strong oppression of the Tang Dynasty, they formed a coalition to resist the Tatars in this area.

In the Balkans, the Tatars have controlled the area north of the Danube, and in the western part of the Balkans, they have penetrated into Sarajevo.

In the east they were losing ground, losing all the areas east of the Ural River and the Ural Mountains.

Even because of the threat of the Tang Bingfeng, they have already carried out a strategic evacuation in advance. Basically, in the area east of the Volga River Basin, there are no ordinary people from the Golden Kingdom of Tatar, only the army.

In the Caucasus, basically the plains north of the Caucasus Mountains were also under the control of their Tatars.

To the north, they had taken St. Petersburg long ago and took control of part of southern Finland.

The Tatar Jin Kingdom, which controls so many areas, has a very vast territory.

And more importantly, this Tatar Jin Kingdom is no longer a nomadic tribe, but a centralized feudal country that imitated the traditional Chinese state.

Even many political systems are directly copied from the Tang Empire.

One of the policies implemented by the Tatars in Europe is very important. It not only stabilized their rule in Europe, but also greatly increased their national strength.

That is to kill the original aristocrats, and distribute a large amount of land belonging to the original nobles to the original serfs for free!

The Tatar Golden Kingdom can proudly say that there is no serf under their control, and everyone has their own land!

If other factors are not discussed, this alone is enough to give a positive evaluation of the Tatar Golden State.

Today’s European countries, regardless of Ottoman or Spain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are much worse than the Tatar Golden Kingdom. Today’s Europe is actually still in the Middle Ages, and they are still playing the real aristocracy and serfs. It's all good, and even some areas are still playing slavery.

To tell the truth, these European countries would have been wiped out by the Tartars one by one without the support of the Tang Dynasty.

Today the Tatars not only control a large amount of territory, but also have a large population, which can also be used by the Tatars.

Among the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops, except for a few of the most elite cavalry troops, there are no troops purely composed of Tatars, and most of them are recruited natives of various ethnic groups.

Therefore, many of the Tatar troops that the Tang people saw in the Ural River defense line were actually blond and blue-eyed European natives...

If the Tatars hadn't liberated the serfs in Europe and used a large number of the indigenous population of Europe, the millions of people in their own tribe would have been wiped out in the past ten years.

The Tang Dynasty and the Tatars have been at war for many years, and the Tatar troops killed are at least hundreds of thousands. It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops killed and wounded on other fronts, but the Tatars are still alive and kicking.

why?

Because most of the casualties were other natives, not the young men of the Tatar tribe.

The more the Tatars tossed in Europe, the more Tang Tang paid more attention to the European region. The army was not only planning a third westward expedition, organizing European countries to send troops to resist the Tatars, but also actively accumulating strength in Europe. Be prepared to go out in person when necessary.

The fortification of Ceuta was the product of such a strategy.

But even so, the Datang military felt that a mere Ceuta was not enough, and they thought about building another strategic stronghold.
