Zhu Cizhuo is now sitting on the Ming Dynasty's new internal combustion engine chariot, conveying the latest order with great enthusiasm.

Helsinki was naturally captured by the Ming army without surprise.

In order to occupy more Finnish land as soon as possible before the Swedish kingdom transferred the army back, he did not stay in Helsinki for long, but led the army to continue moving forward.

After discovering the large number of Ming troops, the Finnish natives who claimed to be Sumi people spontaneously organized themselves to resist the Ming army.

Therefore, not long after, Li Dingguo's troops, as the vanguard, discovered a large number of Sumi cavalry, with about tens of thousands of cavalry.

But these Sumi cavalry were vulnerable to the Ming army, which was already a mechanized unit.

With the continuous firing of muskets, all the tens of thousands of Sumi cavalry turned into corpses floating on the grass.

Not long after, the Ming army occupied Turku, the important Finnish town, and then occupied Buden, thus approaching the local area of ​​the Swedish Kingdom.

Logically, the Swedish kingdom and the European armies that supported them should have surrounded Wei and saved Zhao. They did not have to pay attention to the Ming army that advanced in the cold north, but instead sent a large army to attack Kaliningrad, a port that had been occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

However, the number of these European troops was really insufficient, and their combat effectiveness and equipment were not as good as that of the Ming army, so they could not perform the ability to siege Wei and save Zhao, so they could only concentrate their troops to fight the Ming army.

Of course, they can also use their familiarity with local geography to conduct guerrilla warfare, but this has to make them, the nobles, take the initiative to abandon their wealth and resources in major towns.

They naturally don't want to.

What's more, they can only send small-scale troops below 10,000 people to do so, and once the large troops leave the castle, they will encounter supplies problems.

Therefore, in addition to many small groups of troops heading north or raiding the Ming army along the coastline, most of the main forces still went north honestly to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army and block the pace of the Ming army.

When the Ming army occupied Budden, the Swedish Kingdom and the European armies who came to support them had just arrived at the important Swedish Kingdom Yumeo.

However, after the Ming army occupied Buden, they did not advance any further.

Because the Ming army could not ignore the supply problems that arise after a large-scale march, as well as the instability in the rear and the harassment of small enemy troops.

Zhu Cizhuo was playing a plan to build a plank road and secretly travel to Chencang for European countries. He suddenly took advantage of the arrival of summer and marched from Finland on a large scale and occupied Buden. He ordered the cessation of advancement, organized the construction of military and civilians and local military personnel and local military personnel, and set up clinics and schools. He planned to use various stations as points and highways as lines after the road was built, and sent troops to suppress the remaining small groups of enemy troops in the local area.

At the same time, Zhu Cizhuo deliberately held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven in Turku and erected stones and erected monuments, as if he wanted to let European countries know that he, the commander of the Ming army, had been staying in Turku.

"He is not clear about my Sweden geography and cannot install too many eyeliners. Through this fantasy way, he, the commander of the Ming army, is in Turku, and let us take the initiative to attack him, this cunning Oriental man!"

After the leaders of the army of European countries learned that Zhu Cizhuo was offering sacrifices to heaven in Turku and erecting stones, William of Brandenburg expressed his views on Swedish King Carl XI.

Carl XI nodded and affirmed: "You are right! But what can we do now? If we don't take the initiative to attack him, we can only stay in the south! And his Ming army is like a sword hanging over our heads all the time, making us restless every day, and the troops we organized can only consume food in vain."

"We can only continue to go north, but we just hope to fight quickly. Otherwise, if we drag it down, once the weather turns cold, the occupied territory of your country will not be recovered this year. And we have to transfer the army back to the south before the weather becomes completely cold, because once the severe winter comes, the Ming army will definitely not attack from the north again. No one can withstand the winter there except the local Laplands. If the Ming army wants to continue to launch an offensive, they can only attack the south."

William said this and said again: "We should have thought that the Ming army would go to the north in summer, but we were deceived by the illusion they created."

Carl XI said at the first time: "I hope to fight quickly and decide quickly. Even if I cannot, I have to withdraw quickly. I am ready to not be able to recover the northern territory in a short period of time."

"The court means that it is necessary to use machines more and use guns and cannons to eliminate the enemy, and not to cause too much casualties. What the dynasty lacks most now is not machines and ammunition, but people! It is people who can establish a consumer market as soon as possible. Therefore, the court has decided not to increase the number of troops on a large scale, adopt elite troops strategies, and cultivate more technical troops. Most people should go to the local area to serve as civil officials and police officers, so that the economy of the newly opened territory can prosper rapidly and meet the current rapid development of productivity needs of the court."

"Those guys from the Academy of Sciences are completely crazy. They not only created radios, but also developed flying machines. In addition, they also made new chariots, called crawler chariots. I heard that traversing mountains and rivers has become much more powerful. In addition, food has also made new progress due to the development of genetics. What does this mean that transportation costs will decrease in the future and communication will be more convenient. In addition, we soldiers may really destroy a country in the future! And there is no need for large groups to fight, or in other words, it is unnecessary for these European troops that are far behind us. Therefore, this general decided to divide his troops to attack Copenhagen!"

When Carl XI discussed the issue of going north to deal with the Ming army, Zhu Cizhuo explained to the officers and generals the reasons why he would divide his troops to attack Copenhagen next.

Zhu Cizhuo obviously did not intend to wait for the troops of European countries to fight in Turku, but instead took the opportunity to capture Copenhagen while the troops of European countries headed north, and prepared for the future to send a large number of troops to land from the south and then completely encircle the Nordic countries.

All the officials and generals had no objection after hearing this.

Therefore, Liu Zhaoji followed Zhu Cizhuo's order and only brought 50,000 troops to the south to detour, in an attempt to capture Copenhagen.

Zhu Cizhuo sent the Ming army to quickly capture Buden and no longer continue to march, but immediately built a battalion-shaped military station and highway. The purpose was not just to simply solve the supply line problem that arises after continuing to march into Sweden, but also to facilitate mobile warfare and to divide troops to fight in other places, so that he could make full use of the advantages of the rescued grassroots people supporting the Ming army and achieve the goal of fighting wherever he wanted.

Along the way, because the Ming Dynasty organized a large number of migrant workers to build simple earthen roads here, and now there were a large number of steam and internal combustion engine-powered vehicles in the Ming Dynasty, the 50,000 troops led by Liu Zhaoji quickly arrived at Vyborg, and then used the highway built between Vyborg and Warsaw in the Ming Dynasty to quickly advance towards Berlin.

At this time, the army of European countries had just arrived near Buden.

The armies of European countries also paid great attention to their own military and technological development, especially after losing several times during the battle with the Ming army, they spent a lot of effort to develop various weapons, and countries also actively cooperated.

As a result, the army of European countries, especially the main forces, have changed their rifled guns and cannons, and have changed their tactics. They no longer use traditional phalanx battles, but have begun to play scattered lines and engage in positional wars, just like the Ming army.
