Zhu and Qi waved their hands, "You don't need to beat them for the time being, this time you just need to beat Yaksa."
For Daming, it is not a top priority to go north to restore Nurgan Dusi or simply fight all the way to the Arctic Ocean... and there is no oil and water, and the cost is also high.
So now Zhu Heqi only wants to control the Heilongjiang River Basin first.
He went on to say: "Then build a garrison city in the middle and lower reaches of Yaksa and Heilongjiang, and near the mouth of the sea, and then build a small Heilongjiang navy. Give [-] to Yaksa, and four garrison cities And a navy will give [-] maintenance fees a year.
In addition, another Heilongjiang admiral will be set up to take charge of the four villages, the Heilongjiang navy, and the fortresses along the Heilongjiang River... This admiral should be given to Anzhu Lake. "
Fifty thousand a year... This is a steady stream!
Mingzhu felt good when she heard it, and nodded repeatedly.
Before Zhu and Qi finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I have a really big deal for you!"
"What kind of big deal?" Mingzhu was still not used to it... He was an official, why is he talking about buying and selling but closing his mouth about it now?
"Send troops to Japan!" Zhu Hechi said, "Japan has been outside China for a long time, and has always been disobedient to the Celestial Empire. In the past, because it was separated by many oceans, it never conquered it. But now I have won North Korea, and the small Korean Strait can't stop me at all." Therefore, I have already decided... at the latest next year, I will send out a large number of heavenly soldiers and cross the sea to conquer Japan! Are you willing to follow the Eight Banners to send troops?"
"willing!"
As soon as Mingzhu heard it, she knew it was a big deal!So he immediately replied loudly: "There are tens of thousands of tigers in the Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to be the king's pioneer and cross the sea to fight against the sun!"
Chapter 667 The enemy is in the New World, which is Mexico!
"it is good!"
Zhu Heqi nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Mingzhu, then I wish you and me the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty a complete victory in Japan, and a long-lasting martial fortune!"
After wishing "martial luck is long", Zhu Heqi asked his attendant Nalan Xingde who was guarding in the south study room to send his father Nalan Mingzhu back to Yanenhou Mansion (Changning's mansion) to rest.
Seeing Nalan Xingde walking away, Zhu Tianwang said to his son: "Sai Zi, do you really want to cross the sea to conquer the Japanese? That is the country that the great grandfather set for no conquest..."
"It's not Taizu's dynasty anymore!" Zhu Heqi shook his head and said with a smile, "Now it's my Great Ming Dynasty...it's the Ming Dynasty I founded! For Taizu, the strong enemy is in the north, in the grasslands Of course, we need to concentrate our strength to deal with it. That's why there are so many countries that will not be conquered... His old man's original intention is to let his descendants concentrate their strength on dealing with the north. But now the enemy in the north is not a concern, and the remnants of the demons going west are a little troublesome .
However, under the leadership of Xiao Wuhou (Zhuge Zhengyang), the Huguang army has already wiped out Henan, and can invade Shaanxi at any time.The army from Zhili was also led by Su Zhanshan and Zhao Hongkui to pacify Shanxi, and could enter Shaanxi at any time.Once Shaanxi is recovered by me, the pseudo-Kangxi will probably be like Xixia... sooner or later it will be broken by me.Even if he can still go west, given the barrenness of the Western Regions, how much market will he have?That is, Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty.
There are many small states in Nanyang, but it is not a problem... In my opinion, the future enemy of the Ming Dynasty must be in the East Overseas! "
"Orient Overseas? That's Japan?" Zhu Tianwang had a look of disbelief.
Zhuge Sanhe also felt that Little Japan was not that powerful, "My lord, how can Japan, a small country, pose a threat to our majestic China? You are too worried."
Worrying too much?
Zhu Heqi glanced at him, and said in his heart: "Have you thought about it seriously? The threat of the Japanese Empire is still small? These grandsons hate it!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Hechi said solemnly, "It's not Japan, but New Spain, which dominates the New World and has its capital in Mexico!
"New Spain?" Zhu Tianwang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately remembered, "That New Spain that is rich in gold and silver in the New World... the colonial land of the Kingdom of Spain?"
"Yes!" Zhu Heqi nodded heavily, "Abba, you should know how big this New Spain is, right?"
"It's not small!"
Zhu Tianwang is the third prince Zhu who opened his eyes to see the world!Of course he knew how peaceful the Pacific was, how new the New World was, how rich and rich New Spain was!
Zhuge Sanhe also knows New Spain—he is also a Zhuge magician who opened his eyes to see the world.
I saw him shaking his feather fan, shaking his head and saying: "New Spain has tens of thousands of miles of fertile land, with a population of 1000 million, and is extremely rich in various products. The gold and silver produced account for [-]% to [-]% of the world's total. A powerful country... Although New France is vast, its population is very small, and the number of registered households in Qimin is only tens of thousands. Ten thousand, but it is still difficult to compete with New Spain, and I am afraid that it will perish sooner or later.
As for Portugal's colonies in the New World, although they are more populated than New France and vaster than New England, they are still far inferior to New Spain!It seems that without our intervention, New Spain will dominate the New World for at most a hundred years! "
The analysis of this military strategist Zhuge is reasonable!
New Spain now needs territory, resources, resources, population, and capital...and is rich in gold and silver!
And now the only big city in the New World is Mexico City, the capital of New Spain!
Mexico is now the center of the New World!
Compared with New Spain, New France, Portuguese colonies, and New England colonies are not enough to see together.There is no need to compare with others, just the population will lose.New Spain has a population of more than [-] million people... This is a population under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace in Mexico City!
Therefore, the master of the new continent in the future must undoubtedly live in Mexico City!
At least from the world map of the 80s and [-]s and the paper data of all parties in the New World, the future of the New World must belong to New Spain.
And once New Spain becomes the master of the New World, the future will be limitless!
With such a large land and such rich resources, the population still has to rise?When the population rises, can't it be the world's hegemon?
Zhu Hexi said again: "Father, Prime Minister, don't you think that there is a Pacific Ocean between the New World and our Ming... Nowadays sailboats are getting bigger and bigger, and the speed is getting faster and faster. Maybe in 200 years, The navy of New Spain could bring an army of 20 to [-] to our door."
What a Mexican threat theory!
However, except that the protagonist has changed from Mexico to America, and his history is similar to the original one.
"Shaanzi," Zhu Tianwang already understood his son's thoughts, "that's why you are determined to cross the Pacific Ocean to fight this New Spain?"
"Yes!" Zhu Heqi nodded, and said, "It's too far for us to cross directly... We have to take Japan as a springboard first. And Japan itself has a population of 2000 million! The land is narrow, the people are poor, and life is cheap. He has always been brave and ruthless, if he is not used by me, he will be used by Spain and the Netherlands to be my enemy!
So I wanted to strike first, use the power of thunder to subdue Japan... and then accept it as a eagle dog!One day people are eagle dogs, and then they can return to New Spain!Now our Ming Dynasty is the number one country in the world, as long as we can suppress the New World and prevent the New World from appearing as a superpower that dominates the entire continent.Then Daming's No. [-] position can be maintained for a long time. "
Zhuge Sanhe thought for a while and said, "My lord, is time a little tight? We haven't unified our country yet! It's better to rest and recuperate for ten or eight years, and then fight Japan, and you will be safe. Take Japan and then fight the New World , will definitely be victorious.”
"It can't be so long," Zhu Heqi shook his head, "Does the prime minister know what I'm sending Huang Zhisheng to?"
"As an envoy to Rakshasa!" Zhuge Sanhe replied.
"Rakshasa is not important," Zhu Hechi said, "What is important is the Ottoman Empire! The Ottoman Empire has produced a very capable prime minister in the past few years, and its national strength has recovered. It can fight the Holy Roman Empire in the west again. It's a game... As long as the Ottomans can take Vienna, then within five to ten years, the Westerners will not care about our landing on the New World and opening up colonies. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the New World So next spring, I will come to North Korea again, and then join the army, cross the sea and conquer Japan!"
Chapter 668 Kangxi Kangxi, benefit in the west!
The first year of Tongzhi, mid-September.
The wind and sand rose suddenly in Xingqing Fucheng, and it blew from noon until late at night.
In the past, when the Qing Dynasty established Beijing as its capital, the sandstorms from Mongolia would make the whole city dusty every autumn.But compared with the dust that Xingqing Mansion encountered in this autumn, the little sand in Beijing is really nothing.The violent sand and dust have completely shrouded the Xishou capital of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in a yellow chaos. There are few pedestrians on the streets of Xingqing Mansion, and the few shops have closed their doors early. No longer in business.
The strong wind hit the tall and solid walls of the imperial city of Xingqing Mansion, making a sound of "boom, boom, boom" like shelling, which made Taishang Emperor Zhen Kangxi feel like he was on the battlefield—although the Great Qing Taishang The old defeated battles have already become "Qing Shun Emperor".But failure is the mother of success!What's more, Kangxi has the characteristics of a master of learning. He can always sum up experience from repeated failures and make progress.
Therefore, Kangxi, who was a general who was often defeated, had already possessed quite high military capabilities, but now he had an opponent who could give him full play.
In the South Study Room of the Xingqing Palace, there is such a "good opponent"... In the original history, half of Emperor Kangxi's prestige was given by Wu Sangui, who kicked his feet to death halfway through the rebellion. Half of it was given by Danjin Boshuo Ketuhan Galdan of the Junggar Khanate who is sitting opposite Kangxi.
In history, Emperor Kangxi's three personal expeditions were all against this Galdan, who was addicted to food, had fairly average fighting skills, and had little control over the Khanate.
It's a pity that now, Kangxi's "good opponent" in his life has become his senior brother...I'm afraid there will be no chance to meet him on the battlefield.
Today is the first meeting between Kangxi and the elder brother. The elder brother is a 35-year-old middle-aged man with a burly figure, with three beards that look like an upside-down Sulu Ding gun head, his facial features are very correct, and his eyes are piercing. A look is a hero.
After Kangxi learned about Galdan's past deeds and had an in-depth conversation with him, he discovered that the Mongolian Khan who had been a lama for more than [-] years was actually a rather rough man, more than brave but not resourceful. Likes to be reckless... He should be a very good Mongolian!
However, Kangxi's elder brother's luck seems to be very good... he didn't meet such difficult opponents as Zhu Heqi, and he also has a very capable sister-in-law and wife Anukodun who wholeheartedly helps him, and his mentor Xue With the full support of Yuda Lama, he was able to lead the rise of the Junggar tribe to where it is today.
Galdan was also meeting Kangxi, who looked much worse than him, not tall, with a pockmarked face, and a pair of small triangular eyes, his eyes flickering, as if he was planning some bad idea... How should I put it, It's a bit of a villain, and it doesn't look like a gentleman.
No wonder he ruined the good Qing Dynasty into what it is now!But for the Junggar and Choros families, this is an opportunity to rise and become the co-lord of Mongolia!
"Brother Khan," Galdan called Kangxi "Great Khan", but he still added the word "Junior Brother" after "Great Khan", "The Yeerqiang Khanate has been basically pacified by me. We can draw [-] Mongolian cavalry, and the Heshuote Khanate should be able to draw [-] cavalry. With these [-] Mongolian cavalry, let's go back to Beijing together!"
Do you dare to attack Beijing with only [-] cavalry?Kangxi said in his heart: "You are going to die! I will not stop you if you want to die, but I can't go to die... Qiling Daoist's bull nose has already been counted by me. Kangxi, Kangxi also, benefits in the west! So I have to go west!"
Thinking of this, "Kangxi" said to Galdan: "To tell you the truth, brother, I am a great Khan who is impoverished now. Although there are millions of people under his command, they all left their homes and businesses. When we arrived in this barren place in Gansu Even food and clothing are very difficult in the land, where is there any spare energy to go east to fight against the rebels?
A few days ago, I received another report from Yue Le and the others that both Tongguan and Wuguan are in a hurry, and a thief is about to enter Guanzhong.Once Guanzhong is lost, more than [-] soldiers and horses will retreat to Gansu... There are so many people, food is a problem!
Brother, can you help me in any way? "
"This..." Gal Dan said in his heart: "So many people have no food, isn't it because you, a fool, lost too much land?
With a coward like you, what kind of Mongolian Khan are you still doing?Are you kidding me?Let me be the sweater! "
Seeing that Galdan remained silent, Kangxi threw out the bait again, "Brother, I still have news. Burni led troops to Khalkha Mongolia... and claimed to be the King of the Golden Wheel!"
"Hmph, what a Burni!" Galdan became angry when he heard that, "What does he want to do by claiming to be the King of the Golden Wheel?"
"Dharma King" is the honorary title given to the supreme leader of Xueyu Buddhism by the Yuan Dynasty.Before the rise of the great lamas of the Yellow Sect, the Dabao Dharma King was the boss of Xueyu!
Lin Dan Khan's self-proclaimed "Golden Wheel Fawang" meant to compete with the Great Lama of Xueyu for divine power!
Now Lindan Khan's grandson Burni is doing this again... As a disciple of the Great Lama, can Galdan not be angry?
Kangxi also looked angry: "Brother, the herdsmen on the grasslands all believe in the Yellow Sect, and we must not let Burni's heresy win them over."
"Yes, absolutely not!" Galdan nodded.
Kangxi knew that this Galdan was not a traditional Khan, but a sect leader!
He could not tolerate the status of the Yellow Sect being shaken by Burni.
Kangxi laughed and said: "Brother, why don't we send troops to Khalkha Mongolia together... Show Burni a little bit!"
"Okay, that's what it should be." Galdan nodded heavily, and said again, "However, we should also ask Master and his elders for a decree!"
Please decree?Although Kangxi knew that Galdan was devout to the Yellow Sect, he did not expect it to reach this level.
"Okay, then please!" Of course, Kangxi was unwilling. How could the big lama ask about the sweat?However, he has to coax Galdan now, so he can only agree.
He paused, and then said: "Senior brother, the west and south of Tianshan...are there still many good places?"
"Yes, yes!" Galdan said, "but you have to pass through Kazakh Khan's territory first. Now Kazakh Khan, the head of Kazakh, can be regarded as a hero, so it is difficult to deal with."
"Is it difficult to deal with?" Kangxi said in his heart, "No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is not as difficult to deal with as Zhu Heqi."
"Brother," Kangxi asked tentatively, "I'd like to meet with Tou Kehan for a while, I wonder if it can be convenient?"
This is an excuse!Excuses are usually no good!
Galdan immediately became vigilant.
Kangxi saw Galdan's face, smiled and said: "Elder brother, as long as it is convenient for you, I will give you all the land in Khalkha and Hetao Grassland, how about it?"
Now Galdan has no way to refuse...
Chapter 669 What should I do if there are more and more Kangxi?
Not long after Galdan, a self-righteous stunned young man, left the South Study Room of the "Kangxi Great Khan" contentedly, Kong Shenggong led Yue Le, Jie Shu, Xiong Cilu, Suo'etu, Gabula, Tong Guogang, and The team of Prince Horqin who had just arrived in Xingqing Mansion, King Bilictu of Horqin County and others entered the South Study Room.
Except for the regent Shenggong, the other eight people are all ministers of the king!
Zhen Kangxi can no longer manage the South Study Room similar to the Military Aircraft Department... He has been defeated again and again, and he no longer has that kind of authority, so he can only retreat to the second or even the third, and organize a meeting of the king and ministers.The main participants in this conference were three forces. One was the New Eight Banners. Yue Le, Jie Shu, Suo'etu, Gabula, and Tong Guogang each represented one banner, and Kangxi himself represented the Upper Three Banners. Confucianism, the regent Shenggong and Xiong Cilu are the representatives of Confucianism; the third is the outer Mongolia, who led the Horqin tribe to trek two thousand miles to Tumo Techuan Prince Bandi of Horqin and King Bilictu of Horqin County It represents Mongolia, which is still loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
If we extend it further, this is a meeting of kings and ministers discussing state affairs with the heads and minds of banner people, Han people, and Mongols.
Under the leadership of Kong Shenggong, the regent, a group of councilors bowed to the Emperor Kangxi, and then took their seats separately—the kowtow ceremony on Kangxi's side has also decreased now, and Kong Shenggong, his team, and Bi Liketu all have It is reasonable to say that a powerful army leader can "worship without being famous, enter the court without going, and walk on the sword", but now he just doesn't kowtow and still has a top position, which is already very polite.
However, Kong Shenggong, Pantai, and Biliketu did not kowtow and still had seats, but Yue Le, Jieshu, Suo'etu, Gabula, and Tong Guogang wanted to kowtow, which seemed that the status of the bannermen was lower than that of the others. Han Chinese and Mongols.
So Kangxi simply asked them to follow Zhanguang, saluted together, and gave them all seats.
But looking at these regents and deliberatives who are "on an equal footing" with him, Kangxi really feels bad!
He has been an emperor since he was a child, and in his memory, when talking to him, other people are shorter than others, but now he is better, and they are all on an equal footing... But he is no longer in a good mood, and he still has to be tense, so we can't let people know "I'm suffering in my heart." Wow".
Thinking of this, a smug smile bloomed on Kangxi's face: "Galdan has agreed to borrow, and is willing to take over our territory in Khalkha and Hetao Grassland. Now we can let go of our hands and feet. In!"
"That's great!"
"Thank goodness..."
"Finally there is a way out!"
"Ancestor bless..."
Hearing Kangxi's words, the group of discussants below all showed joyful expressions - now they can finally escape!
What Emperor Kangxi implemented after the Battle of Huguang and the Battle of Nanyang-Xinye was a strategic general retreat, that is, to give up the territory, preserve the strength, and then use the preserved strength to build new territories.
That's why he didn't retreat to his hometown in the northeast but retreated to the northwest - retreating to the northeast will soon lead to nowhere!
And the way to retreat to the northwest is wide. As long as they can pass through the Yeerqiang Khanate controlled by Galdan and enter the Kazakh prairie, Kangxi's "low sugar army" will be able to tremble immediately.
Because whether it is the Kazakh grassland or the southern river area, they are all "sugar-free troops". They don't even have a few flintlock guns, and they don't have good artillery. They are still adopting very backward tactics and tactics. The infantry will not line up to shoot , the cavalry don’t know how to charge through the wall, the infantry and cavalry can’t coordinate well, and their infantry’s hot and cold weapons are very mixed, and the musketeers don’t have bayonets... This kind of army is met by Ming’s "high sugar" army. The army" has been hammering the "low sugar Qingbing" for several years, and it must be a dead end!
For the current Qing Dynasty, the biggest danger is not encountering a powerful enemy in the Kazakh grassland or in the middle of the river, but being caught between the Junggar and the Ming Dynasty, unable to quickly start the westward expedition, and unable to quickly pass through the land that was just ravaged by the Junggar. Yeerqiang Khanate - The Yeerqiang Khanate has a large area but a small population. The settlements are very scattered. Most of the areas are grasslands, deserts and mountains. Just grab the settlements once.
Therefore, whether Galdan is willing to borrow the way is the key to whether the Qing Dynasty can successfully march westward!
And to borrow this matter, if it were Galdan's father Batur and elder brother Sengge, they would probably not agree.
But Galdan is not only superstitious about religion, but also dreams of becoming the Great Khan of Mongolia... This is simply the man who gave the Qing Dynasty the blame, no, it is the blame!
