Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 289

Although Zhu and Qi couldn't understand the Mongolian they spoke, but seeing Anukodun's interested expression, he could guess what they were talking about?

So he interjected with a smile: "There are very few aborigines on the prairie of the New World, and they don't herd herds, they only make a living by hunting bison."

Lama Iraguk translated Zhu Heqi's words into Mongolian and told Anukedun and Tserangtaiji.

"Hunting? How many bison are there?"

"They only eat meat?"

Both couldn't believe it.

Although the Mongols can also hunt, is it incredible that they can live a happy life with big meat just by hunting?

Lama Iraguk nodded with a smile, "It's so rich...and the big piece of the Great Plains south of Mexico is rich in silver! Seventy-eight out of ten of the world's silver is produced in that area The Westerners exchanged the silver produced in Mexico for the porcelain, silk, sugar, tea and other items of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the population of Mexico is not large, only a few million indigenous people conquered by Westerners and hundreds of thousands of Western nations..."

Seventy-eight out of ten of the world's silver is produced there, and there are only a few hundred thousand Western countries... What does this mean, I don't need to go on with the Lama, and it is inconvenient to say.

After all, lamas cannot instigate others to murder and set fire to steal money... Amitabha!

"My lord, is that new continent really so good? How can we get there?" Anukodun was a little familiar, and asked Zhu and Qi with a smile, without any thought of defending against men and women.But her Chinese is not very fluent, so she can only ask questions in Mongolian.

Lama Iraguk translated her question into Chinese again.

Zhu Heqi laughed when he heard this question - it seems that he found the right person!

The Mongols are nomads, they don't settle down and move like farming peoples, they just live by water and grass.

And they are not good at anything... Before the age of great voyages, they were the dominant force in the international zero-yuan shopping market!

The entire Eurasian continent, except for Western Europe, Northern Europe, and Southeast Asia, where has it not been harmed by them?If it wasn't for the Pacific Ocean, they would have gone to the New World to buy it for zero yuan... Those European colonists who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed on the New World would have to compete with this Khan and that Khan of the Mongols!

But now the Pacific Ocean can no longer stop these Mongols, because Zhu Heqi is going to let them go to the New World to take the lead!

Of course, they are the only ones who can fight this first battle - the Mongols are much better than the Han people in zero-yuan purchases on land.

If Zhu and Qi transported [-] Han households there, they would just open up a few settlements in Vancouver or San Francisco, and then grow vegetables and food in a safe and secure way, and it is impossible to open up the situation quickly.So the land they can occupy is only a few points, which cannot threaten New Spain, New France, and New England at all, and cannot even reach them.

But if [-] Mongolian households are transported over, it will be great if they can occupy the territory... because they are nomadic (hunting) gathered together, and they also do zero-yuan purchases by the way, and they can buy them wherever they swim Where, maybe there will be some kind of wheel chopping!

If those "sugar-free and low-sugar" Spaniards want to stop the "high-sugar" Mongolians, I'm afraid they have to build the Great Wall or something...

When they "clear the field", it will be easy for the Han Chinese to immigrate again.

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi frowned, and said to Anukodun: "Anu, if you want to cross the Pacific Ocean, you must first take Japan as a springboard. And it will take a month or two to go east from Japan. Only ships can reach the west coast of the New World. I don’t have too many ships in my hand, and it’s impossible to send too many people there at one time. Whoever goes first and who goes later... depends on performance!"

Chapter 675 The emperor is not afraid of death!

See performance?How to behave?

After listening to the words of Zhu Heqi translated by Lama Yilaguke, Tsewang Arabutan immediately glanced at his stepmother, aunt and future sister-in-law.

Anukodun nodded, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said to Zhu Hechi, "Anu is willing to follow the emperor across the sea to conquer the Japanese, and he is also willing to put on his armor and lead the Junggar cavalry to defeat the Japanese kingdom!"

She then said to Lama Iraguk: "Master, please take the silver back to Guihua City for Anu and hand it over to Danzin Boshuoktu Khan. Then tell King Khan that Anu wants to marry Cewang Together, Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan went to Japan, made meritorious service for Junggar, and killed thieves for the Great Emperor!"

According to the original plan, Anukodun would return to Guihua City with the silver, while Tsewang Arabutan would lead the troops to Japan alone.

But Anukedun changed his mind after seeing Zhu and Qi's bodyguard cavalry and Sauron and Balhu cavalry.

Because she already knew that the fighting power of these three thousand cavalry was far stronger than that of Junggar cavalry!

The Junggar cavalry only had chain mail, but the Ming army's cavalry was actually equipped with large pieces of steel armor!Moreover, the war horses of the Ming army's iron cavalry looked very big, taller than the Persian horses.

In addition, Anu also knew that the infantry and firearms of the Ming army were very powerful!Otherwise, Kangxi wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

Now their cavalry has also become more powerful... The future of the Junggar Khanate, which is in front of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, seems to be not very good!

Therefore, Anukodun decided to use this opportunity of the Eastern Expedition to Japan to get close to Zhu Heqi, build a good relationship with Zhu Heqi, and at the same time carefully observe the performance of the Ming army on the battlefield.

If the Ming army is really super powerful, then if King Shunyi of Galdan wants to be successful, he has to follow the emperor closely... But in this way, the development space of the Junggar Khanate will be limited.

Now the Jungar Khanate has controlled more than half of the Hetao Grassland, the Khobdo Grassland in Mobei, and the Jungar Grassland on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains, and also has the suzerainty of the Yeerqiang Khanate.The Yili grass was "loaned" to Kangxi in principle, and it may be taken back later.

But such a huge steppe khanate has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the number of armored men can be recruited up to [-]. How could the truly powerful Central Plains hero tolerate its long-term existence?The current Great Emperor is not Jiajing or Wanli, but the real Lord of Heroes!

When the emperor finishes rectifying the newly recovered provinces, he will definitely attack the Junggar Khanate... If Junggar is unable to resist the emperor's might, hand over part of the territory, and then send some tribes to the distant new continent to serve as the Great It is probably the best way for the emperor's eagle dog and scimitar to break new ground.

Although the Junggar Khan Council was divided into several parts, the Taijis of the Chuoros family might be able to get a piece of land of their own... Thinking of this, Anukodun glanced at Cewangarabutan.

Cewang Allah Butan also patted his chest, "Please, the great emperor, hand over the first battle of entering Japan to the warriors of Junggar! As long as you give an order, I, Cewang Allah Butan, will immediately send troops into the Japanese country and destroy the Japanese country." I'll bring you the dog's head of Da Khan!"

His words were also translated into Chinese by the Grand Lama of Iraguk, and Emperor Zhu was of course very satisfied.

Anukodun and Tsewang Alabatan seem to be very knowledgeable about current affairs. If Ge Erdan is like them, Junggar can become a good eagle dog of Ming Dynasty like Chahar and Ming Baqi, and the United States of America in the future The country can also count them.

But the first battle to invade Japan does not need the Junggars to fight... This first battle was booked more than two years ago!

Zhu Heqi smiled and said: "Ce Wang Taiji, don't worry... you will fight the battle, but this front line will not bother your cavalry. Because Wa is an island country, surrounded by seas, so the head The formation is a landing battle, and cavalry is not needed."

Lama Yilaguke finished translating his words again, and Tsewang Alabatan did not fight for the lead, but he still asked, "I wonder who the emperor wants to lead the battle?"

After listening to the lama's translation, Zhu Heqi smiled and said, "Fight against Japan...of course the Koreans will be the first ones!"

In fact, the Koreans were not only the front line of this battle against Japan, but also the main force in the invasion of Japan!

The Ming Eight Banners, Chahar, Junggar and other ministries mobilized by Zhu Heqi were only used to suppress the formation and act as cavalry.The real main force is still the five elite North Korean new army towns!

……

Japan, Kyoto, Imperial Palace, Zichen Palace.

Emperor Shiren, who has always been known for his toughness and perseverance, straightened his waist at this time, and sat behind a lowered gauze curtain, looking at the man kneeling in the dark hall, with an indescribable spirit!

The kneeling person is none other than Tsunayoshi Tokugawa, the great general of Japan, the minister of the interior, and the elder of Genji!

It happened in the past that General Tokugawa went to Luo to meet the Emperor of Heaven, and it did not make His Majesty the Emperor feel extremely excited.But in the past, the generals of Shangluo just came to visit the emperor as a courtesy, and the whole palace would be terrified because of the general's arrival, for fear of offending the parents who did not do well.Although the emperor's salary is very small, only 150 shi a year, there is still room for decline.When the Great Demon King Oda Nobunaga was in control of Kyoto, His Majesty's income was only a mere [-] six stones of rice... Well, His Majesty can still eat rice.

Therefore, Emperor Shiren, who is not very respectful to the shogunate, has always been the most hated figure by the royal family and ministers-for fear that he will offend the general!

Will really starve to death!

Now it’s not the Warring States period, the emperor can still beg for alms from the monks of Honganji Temple, and he can also beg for food from Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo... Now if the shogunate reduces the emperor’s salary, the local daimyo and monks of Honganji Temple would not dare to give rice to them the emperor.

In fact, Emperor Shiren himself was quite afraid, but his character is like this, tough, pushy, he doesn't like to "beg for food" on his knees, but wants to beg for food standing up!

And the result of standing begging was not to smash the golden bowl of begging, but the shogun asked the emperor to "sacredly adjudicate" foreign affairs... This really excited Emperor Shiren.

Could it be that the days of royal glory are coming back again?

Emperor Shikhito was so excited that he began to think about it in his heart, how much rice should be charged for a ruling?

If you charge a thousand stones, this general might not come... It's better to charge a little less, let's take three hundred stones!

"His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor..."

The sound of Guan Bai's winter meridian suddenly interrupted the emperor's thoughts.

"Oh," the emperor quickly lowered his voice, "three hundred..."

"Three hundred?" Yi Dong Jing didn't understand what the emperor was talking about at all?But he didn't dare to convey the emperor's words to General Tokugawa like this—it seemed too perfunctory. If the general was angry, what would he do if he detained him for the white rice?

Thinking of this, Master Guanbai had no choice but to speak to the emperor in a Kyoto accent like singing an opera: "Your Majesty, the general Tsunayoshi said that the bandits have assembled in southern Korea and will invade soon. The general wants to ask your majesty if you are willing to give up the title of the emperor. Accept the King of Japan conferred by the Ming Emperor?"

When Guan Bai said this, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead!

Because he knows that now is a critical moment for the Yamato Dynasty, if he makes a wrong move...the emperor who has [-] koku rice a year will be gone!

But how to choose...he didn't know either.The emperor only has [-] shimi. If it is changed to the king, it must be reduced!

Not enough to eat!

But if he didn't kneel down to Daming, the soldiers might come over that day, maybe even the king would be gone... What will the emperor do then?What should the minister do?

Everyone has been working as emperor and minister for generations. If you don't have to do it, wouldn't you starve to death?

The emperor was also a little dumbfounded. He was too happy when General Tokugawa played just now, but he didn't understand it. Only now did he realize that it was such a thing!

This is smashing the job!His emperor was passed down from his ancestors, and it didn't hinder Daming, so why didn't he become him?

Thinking of this, the emperor said in a deep and melodious voice: "The men in Kamakura are brave and righteous, how can they be afraid of a hundred thousand enemies coming!"

Chapter 676 A big taboo for military strategists, invade Japan and the Korean army!

Hearing the emperor mentioning "Kamakura man" and not being afraid of "one hundred thousand enemies", Tokugawa Tsunakichi already understood what the emperor meant-he is not afraid of death, and he is really good!

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Tsunakichi bowed to the emperor sitting behind the curtain with a rare respectful attitude, and then said in a melodious Kyoto dialect: "I must obey His Majesty's holy will and lead a hundred thousand tigers Commander, fight the invading bandits on the beaches, plains, forests, and castles of Japan, even if there is only one soldier left, I will fight to the death...to the end!"

This sounds a bit scary!

Haven't fought yet, why is there only one soldier left?

Thinking of this, the emperor quickly asked: "Is the Ming bandit who attacked this time very powerful? How is it compared to the Yuan bandit who came to attack during the Wenyong period?"

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was a little speechless after hearing this—how did you, the emperor, ask such a naive question?You don't know the big thing that Ming Kou has committed, do you?This has been going on for two or three years.

The emperor really didn't know, and still looked ignorant.

"Your Majesty the Emperor," Tokugawa Tsunakichi had no choice but to introduce patiently, "Of course the current Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the Yuan Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty had already perished in the Southern Song Dynasty and realized the unity of the four seas. There are four major Khanates with extremely vast land.

But now the Ming Kingdom has just defeated the Qing Dynasty, and the country has not yet been fully unified. The Qing Dynasty still occupies the northwest, and Wu Sangui's son still occupies the southwest.These are all factors of instability within the Ming country. Once the Ming army is in Japan for a long time, there will be troubles in the country!

In addition, after the rise of Mongols, they continued to fight from east to west, not only established the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Four Great Khanates, but also made Western, Southern Man and other big and powerful countries fear its power. Only Japan is not afraid of violence and dares to uphold justice .

And now, there are Western and southern barbarian powers such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, England, Annan, and Burma that are hostile to the Ming Dynasty and have formed an alliance with Japan...so if the Ming invaders dare to attack, Japan will not fight alone.

Besides, Japan is the kingdom of God!Its land is isolated overseas, far away from the mainland.No matter how strong the infantry and cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were, they had to come by boat.And the sea is dangerous, maybe there will be a third kamikaze battle! "

After listening to Tokugawa Tsunakichi's analysis, His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness Kanbai were finally relieved.

Obviously, "the advantage is in me"!

The country of Japan is now internally stable, the monarch and his subjects are united, and the vassal and curtain are integrated.On the other hand, the country in Daming had just recovered, internal worries had not been resolved, and foreign aggression was still huge, so they rushed to war with Japan, which was far away across the ocean.This is one.

Now Japan's policy of seclusion and isolation has been relaxed, so friends are all over the world.The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, England, Annan, Burma, Siam, etc. are all friends of Japan.

But now Daming has no friends at all, and has too many enemies. Even the Netherlands, England, Spain, and Portugal thousands of miles away regard Daming Shi as their sworn enemies.This is another taboo for military strategists!

Crossing the sea to attack Japan is another big taboo for military strategists-Japan is blessed by God!In history, relying on kamikaze to open the hang, it overwhelmed Kublai Khan's two waves of expeditionary forces!Now Da Ming dares to come again, he really doesn't know what to do!

"Yaoxi!" Emperor Shiren was finally relieved, "It seems that the Ming invaders will be defeated, and Japan will surely win!"

"Hay!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said, "I implore His Majesty the Emperor to quickly drop the imperial edict, ordering the whole of Japan to fight against the Ming invaders, so as to defend the emperor's state!"

"Kanbai!" Emperor Shiren didn't mention the matter of harvesting food, and directly said to Guanbai beside him, "Let's draw up an order!"

……

"My lord... Long live! Long live! Long live!"

When a new bird-shaped hard-sailed ship that Zhu Hexi was riding appeared on the wharf of Yashan Port in North Korea.The tens of thousands of Korean and Ming troops lined up on the side of the pier gave out the loudest cheers!

The new bird ship type hard-sailed large ship is an armed merchant ship jointly developed and built by the Nanyang Trading Company and the Ming Dynasty Navy.

This type of ship has a large deadweight tonnage.And it uses stiff sails, so it doesn't require too many sailors to operate.It is ideal for transporting personnel and materials, and is a very good commercial ship.The disadvantage is that the speed is too slow, and it is not strong enough to accommodate large artillery.

However, in the era when the navy is "invincible in riding and shooting", miniaturized assault boats are the key to decisive victory in naval battles.

Therefore, the high-speed soft-sail warship is not very useful-even a large ship like the British King of the Seas cannot withstand a salvo of rockets fired by a dozen or twenty assault boats.

Instead of building such an expensive sailing battleship, it is better to build more assault boats and let the big bird ship drag them out to sea!

Now the navy also has to pay attention to the "sugar content".

Therefore, the "sugar content" is the first in the world, and the rocket technology is also the most mature. It also has the Daming Navy and the Nanyang Trading Company fleet with zipper fuzes.It has always been the object that the naval forces of the Netherlands, Spain and England in Southeast Asia and the East Asia dare not challenge.

Zhu Heqi, who had been floating at sea for several days, was still in good spirits. Hearing the cheers of the North Korean Ming army, he left the cabin with Dabo Ling and Aoi Shin and went to the raised rear deck.

The Minister of Attendance Yan Yuan, Chief of Guard Qiu Hu, and Military Advisor Yu Xiaoqian who accompanied Zhu and Qi to the sea had already been standing there.The three looked very excited as they looked at the Korean and Ming troops lined up outside the pier.

Compared with the battle of Seoul two or three years ago, this army is much stronger!

At that time, the North Korean soldiers who lined up to be shot were basically rookies, but now they are all veterans who have been in the army for two or three years.Most of them also participated in the battle of entering the customs and the battle of regaining Beijing.

Although the intensity of those two battles was not high.But in the twelfth lunar month of winter, braving the severe cold in the northeast, marching thousands of miles is also a great test.Being able to cope well shows that these North Korean Ming troops already possessed extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, their morale is now extremely high.The sound of cheers was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, but it was extremely neat.

"See Your Majesty, see the Great Concubine!"

Yan Yuan, Yu Xiaoqian, and Qiu Hu saluted Zhu Heqi and Da Boling together.

Zhu Hechi nodded, did not speak, just looked at the battalion-level columns composed of 6 people... It was really majestic and mighty, and the momentum was amazing!
