After all, ginger is still spicy!
The old fox Yue Le saw through Crown Princess Ding Yuying's treacherous plan before it was revealed!
Now the two governors of Heilongjiang and Anton don't even think about Salhu... I think Doni had already tried it back then. In the end, 70,000 people were defeated miserably by more than 10,000 people, and his own head was also damaged. It was packed in a pretty box and sent to Yingtian Mansion.
Yue Le himself also participated in that battle. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been an adult after his reincarnation. With his military talent, he certainly knew that he could not forcefully defeat Prince Zhu's Ming army. The only feasible way was to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to fight a protracted war.
But the problem is that the Heilongjiang and Andong armies have been too happy with their business in the past ten years. Furs, ginseng, Dongzhu, cattle, sheep, mules and horses... The following magistrates, magistrates, thousand households, and hundreds of households, Everyone is a rich man! Moreover, everyone has bought a house in Liaoyang Prefecture and Tianhe Prefecture, and the promising children in the family are also studying in Liaoyang and Tianhe Prefecture. Most of the spare money on hand is stored in Jiale City Bank to earn interest. Who among those people is willing to rebel? Don’t want a son, don’t want any savings?
It can be said that economically, the Heilongjiang and Andong armies have long been integrated with the south!
Moreover, Zhu Cixiang successively accepted Dongguo and Ajige as his concubines, which also served the purpose of winning over the powerful men of the Heilongjiang and Andong armies. With these two precedents, the dignitaries of the Heilongjiang and Andong armies were qualified to send their daughters to the Ming Dynasty royal family - the Supreme Emperor had more than a hundred sons, and the higher-level dignitaries of the Heilongjiang and Andong armies were How many people are there?
In addition, the Supreme Emperor Chongzhen also had more than a hundred daughters...
As an aside, if the Ming Dynasty in history could put aside the rules of "disharmony" and also learn the "lower body fortress", the population of the Ming royal family, the large and small tribes and countries around the Ming Dynasty would not all be the Ming Dynasty. A relative of North Korea?
Of course, this kind of "marriage" is a bit embarrassing. But wouldn’t it be a waste to use so many descendants who were raised as pigs in the Ming Dynasty for marriage?
Therefore, "Prince Lucky" and Ding Yuying have too many aces in their hands to fight against each other. Even if they don't have a trump card like the Guards, Oboi and Yue Le can move their heads by relying on deals under the table.
Therefore, Yue Le's proposal of "going north and joining Russia" is the only way out. Of course, it is not easy to "vote to Russia".
"Will the Rakshasa Kingdom take us in?" Aobai frowned bitterly, "Although we have colluded with them in recent years, our relationship is not very good. The Yakutsk Governor-General of the Rakshasa Kingdom still doesn't recognize good people and always protests. Let’s fight the Mongols for them!”
Of course the Rakshasa Kingdom has to protest!
In order to rob the interests of the Xing'an Mountains and the Horqin Grassland, the two scourges Ao Bai and Yue Le formed a Rakshasa army of up to 5,000 people!
The weapons, equipment and dress of this army are all based on the authentic Rakshasa army. They also hired Spanish military consultants to help train them using Western methods. They even hired authentic soldiers from the Rakshasa Kingdom's Yakutsk Governor-General with high salaries. Mao Zi serves as a foreign aid.
Because this "Rakshasa Army" has a very strong combat effectiveness, it often beats the Chahar Khanate's army to pieces! The Chahar Khanate, which had suffered a loss, went to the Ming Dynasty for help. Zhu Cihong did not find out the truth and directly asked the four towns of Anbei, Daning, Shuofang and Beiping to send troops, and also sent a small number of Guards to participate in the battle.
These Ming troops heading north sometimes couldn't find the "fake Rakshasa" of Obai and Yue Le, so they went to Nerchinsk to cause trouble for the real Rakshasa!
How many real Rakshasa people are there in Nerchinsk? How can they defeat the Ming, Chahar, and Tumut coalition forces? Nerchinsk Castle was broken several times. balance
If it weren't for the Heilongjiang Protectorate's evasiveness and unwillingness to assume the defense of Nerchinsk City, there would have been no Nerchinsk in the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Because Nerchinsk is on the Shilka River, supplies can only be carried out through the Heilongjiang-Shilka River waterway. If you want to travel to the Mongolian Plateau, the logistics cost will be too high. If calculated from Bashang Grassland, the straight line is 2,000 miles, and the actual route is estimated to be more than 3,000 miles.
And because there is very little land suitable for farming on the Mongolian plateau, it is difficult to establish military stations for relay transportation. Therefore, the army crossing the grassland either eats the Mongolians or has to carry food thousands of miles. Either way, it is difficult to last.
Of course, the Ming army now has powerful guns and some Mongolian tribes, which are enough to support short-term conquests on the grasslands. It is not afraid of Chahar and Tumote, but it is difficult to defeat them on the Mongolian plateau. Establish a long-term base in northern Siberia that can fight against the Rakshasas...unless a usable waterway can be found.
Since the Heilongjiang Protectorate was unwilling to cooperate, the Ming army that captured Nerchinsk had no choice but to burn the city and retreat. After they retreat, the Rakshasa people in Irkutsk will return to Nerchinsk to build the city again - Irkutsk is located in the hinterland of Siberia, and transportation seems very inconvenient, but there are waterways connecting the Yenisei River and Lena River These two large rivers lead to the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, the Rakshasa people can use these two rivers and the Arctic Ocean to transport materials and personnel to Irkutsk. This is also an important reason why the Rakshasa people can conquer Siberia. The shortest route from Lake Baikal near Irkutsk to Nerchinsk is about 1,200 miles. It's not very close, but it's still within the range that logistics and transportation can support, so the Rakshasa people can always go and come back.
Although they can return, they do not have the ability to maintain a large army in Nerchinsk, so the Ming, Chahar, and Tumut coalition forces always come to cause damage, which also gives the Yakutsk Governor's Mansion a headache!
Moreover, the Yakutsk Governor-General's Office did not want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty at all... Although the Rakshasa Kingdom was having a lively fight with the Jungar Kingdom on the Kazakh grasslands, here in Eastern Siberia, they wanted to maintain the peace with the Ming Dynasty. Peace, and preferably trade, there is no thought of going south at all.
As a result, because the Heilongjiang vassal towns of the Ming Dynasty always pretended to be Rakshasa soldiers to fight against the Mongols, the Ming army repeatedly attacked Nerchinsk City... This blame was too unjustly taken!
Therefore, the governor of Rakshasa Kingdom sent people to Heilongjiang to protest against Obai every now and then.
And Obai is not a thing, he always ignores the protests of the Rakshasa people, and at the same time asks the Yakuts Rakshasa people to exchange their furs for silk, tea and porcelain... and becomes a second-rate dealer.
The governor of the Rakshasa Kingdom had nothing to do with Obai because he had a strong military and trade interests.
But now that Ao Bai and Yue Le are going to seek refuge, I'm afraid they won't accept it, right?
In addition, even if the Rakshasa Kingdom is willing to accept it, how many people in the Heilongjiang and Andong armies are willing to follow?
If a good Ming eagle dog is not suitable, why go to Siberia? Where is the place where prisoners from the Rakshasa Kingdom are exiled? How about becoming foreign exiles?
Oboi thought about it for a while, but still shook his head, "Who is willing to go with us is also a problem! Although we have thousands of Rakshasa troops on hand... but there are not many close friends among them who are really willing to go with us! Moreover, if we want to march along the Heilongjiang and Shilka River waterways, we must use the naval forces of the Heilongjiang Protectorate. These naval forces are not very reliable..."
"Old Protector," Yue Le said with a smile, "Let's not be so honest and tell the truth to the people below... We are still Protectors now! Let's not say that we are going to join the Rakshasa, just say that we are following the king's orders. Go attack Nerchinsk City in the Rakshasa Kingdom! Then we can legitimately mobilize the Heilongjiang Navy. Once we bring the Heilongjiang Navy to Nerchinsk City, can we just set fire to the ship?"
Oboi thought for a while, nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way... If we can pull in the Heilongjiang navy's ships, we can transport some grain, cattle and sheep to Nerchinsk, and we can always It’s been holding up for a while.”
Yue Le said with a smile: "As long as we can support it for a period of time, we will have the capital to bargain with the imperial court, and maybe we can be recruited and come back to be the protector of Heilongjiang!"
Obai sighed: "I hope so... I am getting old, and I don't want to die on the edge of Lake Baikal."
