The situation is becoming more and more complicated!
As the Ming Dynasty went south to find food and the Qing Dynasty went north to find a way out, there were more than just the Ming, Qing, and Shun families on the table.
The Ming Dynasty first drew Annan into the situation, and then went south to Champa and Shuizhenla, which aroused the vigilance of Spain. Maybe the Dutch and Portuguese were also behind it!
As a result, Spain established a relationship with the Qing Dynasty and facilitated the opening of Vladivostok as a port and the visit of five Qing ministers to Europe!
As the Qing Dynasty moved northward, it collided with the Rakshasa Kingdom moving eastward. The Rakshasa Kingdom, like Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal, became a player in the battle for hegemony in the Eastern world.
Next is Japan! I don’t know where Dorgon and Tokugawa Iemitsu made the mistake. They both fell in love with the minks and gold on Sakhalin Island.
In order to fight for Sakhalin Island, Dorgon actually imitated the Ming Dynasty's method of issuing vassal bonds, issued 500,000 taels of debt, and wanted to organize the Pacific Navy...
Then, because Zhu Cijiong, the "loan king" of Shuofang Town, was always thinking about repaying debts, he did not hesitate to start smuggling firearms to the Mongols in exchange for horses and then reselling them to the imperial military department. As a result, he got hooked up with foreign guns and cannons everywhere. Batur Hutaiji, the leader of Maozi's Junggar tribe.
So the Junggar tribe of Oara Mongolia also stepped onto the stage rashly. Once Junggar jumps out, the Kazakh Khanate and Yerqiang Khanate will definitely follow!
These are the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, Dashun, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan, Rakshasa, Junggar, Annan, Kazakhstan, Yeerqiang, and, by the way, North Korea. They have always been standing in the corner of the stage.
In addition, because the Ming Dynasty's Jin'ou Yingtian Envoy Division and Jing Haijun Jiedushi Division recently joined forces to annex large areas of eastern Chenla and the Jiulongjiang Plain, the half-dead Kingdom of Chenla must have been dragged onto the big stage.
Once Chenla comes to power, the Ayutthaya dynasty of Siam and the Taungoo dynasty of Myanmar will definitely come to power too!
As the antagonism between the Ming Dynasty and Spain rises, the half-dead Sulu Kingdom and the Bo Ni Kingdom on the island of Kalimantan (later Brunei) will definitely have to jump out and cause trouble!
Oh, by the way, the Kashote Khanate and the Tibetan Grand Lama on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have also been squinting in the corner of this big stage.
Counting it down, these are nineteen forces. I wonder if the Mughal Dynasty of Asan Kingdom is interested in playing a game? That's it...
Fengtian Hall, Dongnuan Pavilion.
Collaboration between the two governments is ongoing, and the issue currently being discussed is the issue surrounding Junggar.
"Your Majesty, this Junggar tribe belongs to the Wala Choros clan, and their ancestors were the same Khans who robbed the British Temple during the Tumubao Incident. Although the Churo Ross clan later declined and the Wala tribe also moved westward to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, they unified Mongolia. The ambition is still there, we must be extremely careful not to drive away Donglu and let Wala become bigger again.
Based on the veteran's knowledge of Mongolian affairs, the ministries of Khalkha Mongolia and Monan Mongolia are now weak and unable to prevent the rise of Oara Mongolia. Once Donglu is defeated by us, Wala will definitely take the opportunity to rise. If we continue to accept their annexation and support of guns and equipment, I am afraid that the various Mongolian ministries will be unified by Ola!"
The person who raised the objection was Wu Xiang. This Minister of War was basically an old-school military leader of the Ming Dynasty. His thinking and vision were old-fashioned, and he could only see the Mobei grassland as far away as possible.
However, Zhu Cixiang did not intend to replace him, because he could not find an army officer who was much better than Wu Xiang - a high-quality officer corps is the result of long-term education and training, and cannot be achieved by a soul-touching speech and so-called military merit. You can have it immediately. Moreover, Zhu Cixi could not implement a real military merit system in Nanming. This required "making a profit", and Nanming's industry and commerce were too developed, and there were more and more opportunities to make a fortune. In this case, people's hearts were also impetuous, and the military merit system was The appeal is also limited.
Therefore, Zhu Cixiang can only use "old people" (old people are not necessarily older) to study, and at the same time slowly use the modern elite education and officer education system to train new people. However, this process is very long, and it can be seen in ten or eight years. The results are pretty good.
"Your Majesty," Zheng Zhilong spoke at this time. As soon as he spoke, Zhu Cihong knew that he must be against Wu Xiang. "I think that Wala is nothing to worry about. Because the world today is no longer what it was 200 years ago. The Western Rakshasa Kingdom With the help of powerful soldiers and powerful generals, they expanded all the way eastward and became invincible. All the tribes of the Queen and King of the Golden Horde Khan have been destroyed!
And Wala is the next Mongol Khanate to be destroyed by the Rakshasa people! Therefore, Oara is helpless. Even if they annex Khalkha Mongolia, they will not pose a great threat to our Ming Dynasty. "
Lao Zheng also knew how powerful the Rakshasa Kingdom was, but he was more discerning than Wu Xiang. However, it is wishful thinking to think that after Junggar unified Mongolia, they would not cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
These Mongolians are sometimes more troublesome than Maozi...
Zhu Cixiang turned his attention to the Grand Marshal Li Yan and the Second Military Advisor Li Ruolian. Now they are in charge of the Generalissimo's Mansion.
"Your Majesty," Li Yan said, "I think we can cooperate with the Wala people, but we can't give them things for free. We have to give them something in return, but being a vassal is not enough."
This idea suits me very well! Zhu Cihong thought to himself: Although Li Yan is also an old-minded person, he has been a robber after all, and he still has the idea of robbing things in his mind.
Zhu Cixiang asked: "Li Qing, do you think we should use the Wala people to grab that piece of land?"
Rob? Li Yan was stunned, why was he robbed? Shouldn't we get some better horses?
Li Ruolian saw that Li Yan was stunned, and after getting some advice from Emperor Zhu, he immediately took the question and said, "Your Majesty, I thought that I could use the Junggar tribe to attack the Yeerqiang Khanate."
The Yeerqiang Khanate... Emperor Zhu thought to himself: From now on, you can call me Lieerqiang. Even if you lie down, you will be shot!
Li Ruolian has been a guard for half his life. He is not good at fighting, but he is good at setting traps to deceive people. He immediately gave Emperor Zhu an idea.
"Your Majesty, we can tell the people in the Junggar tribe that we will give 10,000 muskets and 10 cannons, but they can only be sent to Jiayuguan, and further west is the territory of the Yeerqiang Khanate. At the same time, we will send people there Tell the Yeerqiang Khanate that we will send 10,000 muskets and 10 cannons to the Junggar tribe and ask them not to stop them. In this way, the Junggar tribe and the Yeerqiang Khanate will definitely fight, and we will allow the Pingxi Army to take the opportunity to advance westward. The Hami Guard can be restored."
"That's a good idea..." Zhu Cixiang thought about it for a moment and smiled, "But there's no need to play these tricks with Batur Hutaiji. Just tell me if you have any questions!"
I want to establish the Beiting Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate. The Beiting Protectorate will be made for him, and they will have jurisdiction over the grasslands north and west of the Tianshan Mountains. Wu Sangui was appointed the Protector of Anxi Province concurrently, taking charge of the territory south and east of the Tianshan Mountains. If Batur Hutaiji agrees, I will give him 10,000 muskets and ten cannons, but he will send troops to the Yeerqiang Khanate and be responsible for field battles with the Yeerqiang Khanate's army. The siege of the city will be left to the Pingxi Army. Go do it. "
This is to destroy the Lieerqiang Khanate!
And by the way, the signs of Anxi Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate were also displayed!
If Batur Hutaiji agrees, then the Ming Dynasty's legal territory will expand to Central Asia! Moreover, the actual control area can also reach the area south of the Tianshan Mountains.
This is really a big improvement!
Zhu Cixiang added: "If you have no objections, please reply to Shuofang Town in this way, and at the same time inform Pingxi Town. Tell Wu Sangui that if Anxi recovers, then Pingxi Town will move westward as a whole, and Xi'an Prefecture in the east will be given away. Directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.”
After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the first assistant Wei Zaode looked around and saw no one objecting, so he stood up and saluted Zhu Cihong: "Your Majesty is wise, I have received the imperial edict!"
What this probably means is that the Yeerqiang Khanate is officially on the loose...
Zhu Cixiang let out a breath, there were 18 major things to discuss today, and only one was settled now, and there are 17 more to come!
Emperor Zhu paused and then said: "My lords, how should we deal with the battle between Japan and Donglu on Kuwu Island?"
