Tian Shanyue is indeed envious.
The emperor found an edict in the northern capital thousands of miles away and recruited a county magistrate to Beijing.
This must be a great thing.
And Chen Zhongliang is indeed one of the officials who has been "seconded" in Lanfang in recent years.
Chen Zhongliang also showed joy on his face.
He is a smart man, and he can quickly guess the reason for the emperor's summons - his greatest achievements were completed in Jifeng County, maybe the emperor also wants to promote the Jifeng County model throughout Nanyang?
As he said that, he bowed his hand to Tian Shanyue: "Mr. Tian, I have been taking care of you during this period. The emperor has ordered that Chen pack up and head north. If there is a chance in the future, I will have a drink with you again!"
Tian Shanyue also cupped his hands and said, "Chen Sang, I will settle down in Lanfang in the future. If you come to Lanfang then, don't forget to visit your old friend."
Chen Zhongliang shook his head and said: "Mr. Tian, don't belittle yourself. How can you waste your talents in Nanyang? Tomorrow will conquer all directions, and it's time to use generals. Then your talents will be put to use!"
The Japanese fake samurai Tian Shanyue now has military membership in the Ming Army, and his identity is not Japanese, but Han.
Therefore, as long as he makes meritorious service, he can be promoted within the Ming army system.
There are many Japanese like Tian Shangaku.
Now is not the time for the rise of nationalism in later generations, and Japan is still too poor. If you can be a Han Chinese, who can be a Japanese?
Therefore, many Japanese who have made great contributions have passed the "Chineseization Examination" and received military registration from the Ming Army. When they retire from the army in the future, they can also be assigned household registration according to their own wishes.
The benefits are very good.
Moreover, Chen Zhongliang has been working with Tian Shanyue for more than a year, and he knows very well how powerful this fake warrior is.
Such a character will never be buried.
"Chen Sang, have a nice trip!"
Tian Shanyue said with a solemn expression.
In this era where transportation is basically based on walking, this farewell may very well mean that we will never see each other again in this life.
Chen Zhongliang cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
"See you soon!"
Just when Chen Zhongliang had to travel non-stop from Lanfang, dragging his family and his family to the north by boat because of Emperor Zhu's order.
Emperor Zhu was furious in his imperial study room in the Forbidden City.
"Protect this thief! Damn it!"
Emperor Zhu looked very unhappy and paced back and forth in the study.
What made him so unhappy was naturally the news from the northwest.
Le Bao, the former governor of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty, refused the surrender order of the docile King Jin Sanxin and led troops to sneak attack on several Mongolian nomadic tribes in Uliasutai, plundering cattle, sheep, horses and women and fleeing.
But for the time being, Emperor Zhu had no good way to protect the mountain and the emperor who were far away.
He didn't even dare to send the Zhengxi Expedition Battalion to deal with Le Bao.
After all, the content of the Eight Banners in the Expedition to the West camp is too high. What if these former Eight Banners disciples directly brought their weapons to surrender to Le Baoye?
And judging from the number and models of flintlock guns and various field artillery in the Lebao Army,
Le Paul most likely had the support of the British.
In the Western Region, only the British Governor-General of India could provide large-scale assistance to secure various weapons.
Lebao, a remnant of the former Qing Dynasty, is about to join forces with Britain, the overlord of Europe.
This made Emperor Zhu feel a little uneasy.
Also placed in front of Emperor Zhu was a piece of intelligence about Tsarist Russia increasing its troops in Irkutsk.
Tsarist Russia and Britain were originally allies, and now they still have direct contact with Lebao, India, the Western Regions, and Siberia.
There are threats from all three directions.
And Emperor Zhu didn't want to be too involved in the three directions.
Because these places cannot accommodate too many people.
The Western Region Province is pretty good, but it’s nothing compared to the Northeast.
Emperor Zhu hoped to concentrate on migrating the poor from the Central Plains to the Northeast as much as possible, and after accumulating enough immigration experience, he could use this experience in North America.
As for Siberia, Central Asia, and India.
These places only need to maintain influence, and they may not even pursue actual control, but can entrust vassals to guard them.
But trouble happened in all three directions at this time.
Especially if Lebao got the support of Britain and Tsarist Russia, he might really ruin Emperor Zhu's affairs in the northwest.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about protecting this thief. We only need to urge King Pingxi to march westward and drive him away. The key is not to let this thief disrupt the military morale of the expedition camp to the west!"
Tao Biquan said on the side.
Zhu Daohua looked at the map after hearing this.
"The affairs of Tsarist Russia cannot be let go so lightly. Tsarist Russia must be taught a lesson and let them understand that war does not start when they want to start and end when they want to end!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Daohua suddenly said,
"Send an order to Chen Dewang and ask him to lead the troops northward and attack Irkutsk!"
Emperor Zhu's fist hit Irkutsk, which is located not far from Lake Baikal.
Irkutsk was the core of Tsarist Russia's rule in Eastern Siberia.
There is a large river flowing here, and Tsarist Russia can transport supplies and troops from Moscow to this place through river transportation.
Since the sixteenth century, this place has been the support point for Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion.
Destroy Irkutsk.
It can destroy more than a hundred years of Tsarist Russia's operations in the Far East!
"Can the Expedition to the West beat Tsarist Russia's shooting army?"
Tao Biquan frowned slightly.
"It's impossible not to be defeated. The Zhengxi Expedition Camp has been transformed into a staff system. The top and bottom are controlled by the staff. They hold the base camp of Guihua City and are not afraid of the rebellion of the original Eight Banners soldiers. What's more, there are promotion channels for meritorious service and reward. Now, they have no reason not to fight hard!"
Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.
not to mention.
On weapons and equipment.
The expedition camp also had an absolute advantage.
Moreover, by now sending the commander of the Expedition to the West camp to the coast of Beihai, we can avoid Le Bao's "temptation".
Of course.
The key is to drive Lebao away from the Western Regions!
"Send a message to Qi Lin, asking him to move westward quickly without delaying for any reason! Autumn harvest? The court will provide him with additional food! How much wheat can that place in Guanzhong produce! No more, break camp immediately and move westward. If you don't go... Dingshan’s two dragoon brigades are about to move too!”
Zhu Daohua looked at the land of Guanzhong again.
This is the third time he has ordered Qi Lin to advance westward.
But Pingxi King delayed it again and again for various reasons.
There's not enough ammunition, there's not enough military pay, there's the need to wait for the autumn harvest.
Emperor Zhu, who had a good temper, was also angry now.
What he said this time was serious.
If you don't move westward immediately, then send a large army to drive them away!
Guanzhong Plain in June.
The temperature is very hot.
On the terraces of the loess land with thousands of ravines, lush wheat ears sprouted.
If God favors me.
This year we can have a good harvest.
Chang'an City.
Pingxi Palace.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Zhang Hanchao hurried over holding the military order he had just received from the Generalissimo's Office.
When he saw the sleepy Pingxi King Qi Lin sitting in his seat, being served by several Shaanxi beauties, he became very angry.
"Emperor Zhu gave another order." Zhang Hanchao placed the military order in front of Qi Lin.
"Come on, come on. The wheat has just emerged. We can't let go of these millions of acres of wheat."
Qi Lin said indifferently.
I got an errand from King Ping Xi before, but now I am comfortable in Guanzhong, and I don’t want to go to the Western Regions to eat sand.
"No, Emperor Zhu seems to be really angry this time. He asked us to immediately send troops to march westward because Lebao, the former governor of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty, repeatedly sent troops to harass Ulia Sutai." Zhang Hanchao frowned and said, "Now Emperor Zhu wants to drive away the wolf and let us deal with Le Bao."
"If we don't leave now, he will ask Luo Dingshan to lead troops to drive us away."
When he said this, Zhang Hanchao showed a look of helplessness on his face.
"What? Luo Dingshan is here?"
Qi Lin suddenly stood up after hearing this.
If the Ming Dynasty court didn't rush it.
He has little sense of urgency yet.
But if the fierce man from Luo Dingshan comes with his troops, then Qi Lin will not dare to squat in the pass.
"Yes, two brigades of dragoons have already passed Tongguan."
Qi Lin took a few steps back and forth after hearing the words, when his wife Wang Conger walked in.
"Your Majesty, it seems we have to leave, otherwise Emperor Zhu will be really angry and we won't be able to bear it."
Qi Lin heard this and looked at Zhang Hanchao.
Zhang Hanchao also nodded.
Now everyone in the original Heavenly Kingdom Army was obviously frightened.
If we talk about fighting the Ming army now, I am afraid that most of our troops will have to flee before the fight starts.
So this is simply impossible to fight.
"You can leave if you want. I want food, weapons, and ammunition!"
Qi Lin gritted his teeth and said.
"The emperor cannot let us, tens or hundreds of thousands of people, go to the Western Regions to die!"
Zhang Hanchao heard this and said hurriedly: "The Generalissimo's Office has issued a military order to allocate military rations to the customs. A lot of gunpowder and lead bullets have also been transported, which is enough for us to fight in the Western Regions for a year or two."
Qi Lin nodded when he heard this: "After driving out Lebao, can we make our home in the Western Region?"
"Not yet, the emperor's promise is to let us go to the Fergana Basin."
"Where is that?"
"In Central Asia."
"Central Asia?"
"The former Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty was in that area."
"That's thousands of miles away from the Central Plains." Qi Lin sighed, "That's all, Emperor Zhu is so fierce, I am afraid, so I might as well stay away from him."
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Fergana Basin is as rich as Guanzhong. There are several large rivers flowing between the two mountains. It is the best farming land in Central Asia."
Zhang Hanchao said.
Qi Lin waved his hand: "So what if it's better than Guanzhong? We are surrounded by powerful enemies. When we get there, we will have to be manipulated by Emperor Zhu. We will bite whoever he tells us to bite. By then, we may be cunning rabbits and dead lackeys." It’s cooking!”
"My lord, in the West, there are a lot of cunning rabbits. I'm afraid we and the lackeys will be able to do it for a hundred or two hundred years." Zhang Hanchao said with a bitter smile.
"Yes, our children and grandchildren will have to be his Emperor Zhu's dogs."
Qi Lin was even more helpless.
"No matter what, pass the king's order and the guards will immediately mobilize their troops, gather in Chang'an and head west!"
