Duduo is now a patriotic prince. He fought against Tsarist Russia and Sakhalin against Japan, and won both of them... Now he wants to send 50,000 troops to attack the city of Yaksa and 5,000 shotguns of the Rakshasa Kingdom. A decisive battle, full of patriotism!
But Azig in Beijing doesn’t believe this at all!
How can a place like Yaksa support 5,000 Rakshasa soldiers? What to eat? Go fishing in Heilongjiang or hunt bears in the old forests?
Moreover, Sony, who had just arrived in Beijing, also found out the background of Rakshasa Kingdom.
In the Forbidden City in Beijing, in the Wuying Hall, Sony was talking.
"Don't worry, uncle and regent, the Rakshasa Kingdom will never send so many troops to Yaksa City. Because this country is only a third- or fourth-rate country in Europe. It is big but not strong. Now it is a first-rate country in Europe. The most powerful countries are Spain and the Ottoman Empire. The second-level powers include France, England, the Netherlands...the Red Barbarian Kingdom we are talking about, the Holy Roman Empire, and Poland. The country and Sweden, these countries are more powerful than the Rakshasa country.
Moreover, the Rakshasa Kingdom is currently being attacked by the Ottoman Empire. The two countries are feuding. The ancestor of this Rakshasa Kingdom turned out to be the Eastern Roman Empire, which was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. Now that Nanming has formed an alliance with the Ottoman Empire and France, they are the enemies of the Rakshasa Kingdom. And we have formed an alliance with the most powerful country in the world, the Rakshasa Kingdom. The Rakshasa Kingdom will not go to war with us if they don’t look at the monks and the Buddhas.
Therefore, when the slave left Europe, Emperor Philip of Zhzbarnia came forward to negotiate with Tsar Alexei of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the negotiation was sure to be successful. "
Sony is not bragging, it can indeed be negotiated. Because the Habsburg family is the mortal enemy of the Ottoman Empire, and Russia is also the mortal enemy of the Ottoman Empire. The mortal enemy of the mortal enemy is a friend. How could Alexey I not give Philip IV the face?
This is not the era of Peter the Great. Without reforms, Tsarist Russia is just a third- or fourth-rate country in Europe, and Zhbania is a powerful world empire!
In addition, Alexei I will soon encounter a strong enemy in the direction of Kazakhstan, which is the Junggar tribe that will hang up the sign of the Ming Dynasty Beiting Protectorate.
The Ming Dynasty was an ally with Turkey, and it was at odds with the Rakshasa Kingdom in Central Asia. Of course, the Rakshasa Kingdom had to join forces with the Qing Dynasty, the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Why would it attack the Qing Dynasty?
"Sony," Azig looked at Sony, who had become an international diplomat, "tell me, what does Old Fifteen want to do by recruiting tens of thousands of soldiers?"
"This... slave doesn't dare." Sony didn't dare to say.
It's obvious, but if you speak out, you may be punished.
"Don't you want to be my amma?" Emperor Shunzhi said "the emperor's words are unbridled" and he said everything he wanted to do.
Azig glanced at him and thought: I am the only one who wants to be your amma! Lao Fifteen has no such idea, he wants to be the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
"Old Fifteen wants to fight, so let's accompany him!" Azig said, "But we also have to find an excuse...what should we find?"
"Imperial uncle and regent," Prince Zheng Jierhalang said with a smile, "Isn't this a ready excuse?"
"off the shelf?"
"That's right! Attack the Rakshasa Kingdom! Didn't the Rakshasa Kingdom station 5,000 shotgun soldiers in Yaksa City? We can't let King Yu work alone! We also have to send troops to Baikal to cut off the Rakshasa soldiers' return route. "
In fact, Yaksa's troops did not come up from the direction of Baikal, but took the Arctic Ocean and entered the Lena River to reach Yakutsk, and then sent troops from Yakutsk south to the Heilongjiang River Basin.
However, the Qing Dynasty did not know about this and thought that they came overland.
"Prince Zheng, you have a better move!" Azig gave Jierhalang a thumbs-up, and then asked, "How should Nanming deal with it? Why don't you try another move?"
"Isn't Nanming still making up lessons?" Jierhalang said, "You can't make up the lessons so quickly, right?"
"We can't take it lightly," Azig frowned. "Old Fifteen is not easy to deal with... We have to go all out, so we must stabilize the south."
The advantage in military strength seems to be on his side, but he also has some problems that are difficult to recite. He is holding the emperor hostage and commanding nine flags. Without the banner of Shunzhi, he would only have his own white flag and the troops of the Taiyuan Angbang Zhangjing Yamen. Together they amount to 10,000 men, and they cannot all be pulled out. There is still one owed to the other side of the Yellow River. The debt-ridden Ming Loan King is drooling when he looks at Taiyuan Mansion!
Therefore, the number of troops with white flags that Azig could pull out would never exceed 5,000, and they would not be able to defeat Duduo's tens of thousands.
Moreover, he could not mobilize troops in the name of crusade against Duduo, because Duduo's own Zhenglan Banner also had an Angbang Zhangjing Yamen in Henan Prefecture, which was presided over by Abatai's fourth son, Prince Yue Le of Duoluoan County. If Azige wants to go to war with Duduo, then Yue Le is very likely to send troops from Henan Prefecture... Not to mention that the war will spread to Henan Province, the Ming Dynasty in the south will probably take advantage of it.
Therefore, Azig could only mobilize troops and horses in the name of attacking Baikal. At the same time, he had to keep Yue Le and his Zhenglan Banner soldiers in Henan Prefecture, and he also had to stabilize the hearts and minds of Zhenglu Banner.
After all, there are many people in Zhenglu Banner. If they do not send troops in the name of guarding against the Ming Dynasty, then the number of troops Azige can use will be severely reduced.
"Then send Fourteen Gege out!" Shunzhi added another sentence.
The fourteenth princess is named Ajige. She is the daughter of Huang Taiji and the sister of Shunzhi. Because she was a concubine, she was granted the title of Princess Heshuo (the direct descendant is Princess Gu Lun). She is only 12 years old this year.
Among the sisters of Emperor Shunzhi, this Ajige was the most beautiful, but had a bad temper and was unruly and willful. Historically, she was married to Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui.
But now that Wu Yingxiong is in elementary school in Nanjing, he has to find a wife from the Ming Dynasty clan, and will not marry Ajige.
Azig thought for a while, "This is a way... Emperor Chengzong's princess was gone before she passed Zhu Cixiang's door, but the marriage can still continue. Let's give him another one, so You can always be stable for a while.”
This can be supplemented by one more...
Shunzhi smiled and said: "Nanming's mourner Huang Dabao hasn't left yet. Now I have just told him about this matter, and we can start to deal with it on both sides. The marriage is not over yet, Zhu Cixiang should not consider sending troops, so that he can always win Until some time.”
Azig clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
...
After the discussion at Wuying Palace, Shunzhi and Sony went to Cining Palace to meet Aunt Bumubutai.
Sony was the Minister of Internal Affairs before he went on the mission. Azig temporarily returned him to his original position and became the Minister of Internal Affairs, so he had to kowtow to the Empress Dowager.
"Mom, who do you think is here?"
When Shunzhi arrived at Cining Palace, Aunt Bumubutai was chanting sutras with her eyes closed. When she heard her son's cheerful voice, she opened her eyes and saw Sony, whom she hadn't seen for several days, coming with Shunzhi.
"Sony is back?" Bumbutai asked with a smile, "Has this trip to the West broadened your horizons?"
"Senior Sony sends greetings to the Queen Mother." Sony saluted respectfully first, and then stood up and replied at the Queen Mother's signal, "If you reply to the Queen Mother, my slave's horizons will be greatly broadened..."
Bumubutai was actually not very interested in Western things. She saw her son Shunzhi's happy face, so she asked, "Your Majesty, what good things have happened to you again?"
"Mother," Shunzhi said with a smile, "I have married the fourteenth princess!"
"Who to marry?"
"Zhu Cihong!" Shunzhi said with a smile, "She just fills the gap left by Dongguo."
"This..." Bumbutai frowned, "The regent agreed?"
"agreed."
"Then there's going to be a war..." Bumubutai said, "The fourteen grids are just pawns to stabilize Zhu Cixiang. Zhu Cixiang is also happy to watch us kill each other! The marriage should be successful, but it's just the two of the Qing Dynasty. When two regents fight, who will win in the end?"
