The time has come to October of 1794 AD.
Emperor Zhu, who didn't really like working in the Forbidden City but preferred working in the Old Summer Palace, had no intention of going south to escape the cold during this time. ,
After Boss Zhu stayed in the Forbidden City for a few days, he felt a little scared.
A centuries-old house.
It feels like living in a temple.
Moreover, they were all wooden structures, so Emperor Zhu, who was not very used to wooden structures, was always worried about fires.
On the contrary, it is more accustomed to living in the Western-style Old Summer Palace.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu had already planned that in addition to retaining some places for sacrifices, other places in the Forbidden City would be turned into museums.
Just call it the Forbidden City.
The imperial palace in Beidu might as well be moved into the Old Summer Palace.
It doesn’t have to be too big either.
After all, Emperor Zhu did not support thousands of palace maids and thousands of eunuchs.
There is no need for such a big space.
Several reinforced concrete buildings were built in the Old Summer Palace to house the imperial palace, cabinet offices, and the Council of Government.
It is stable and safe, and can be built quite tall and magnificent.
And the reason why Emperor Zhu stayed in Beidu when winter was about to come.
Because things in the north are too important.
He must be in the northern capital to make immediate decisions on matters in the north.
The first important thing is of course the development of Northeast China.
Funds in this area have already been allocated, and plans to build railways in the Northeast and Central Plains, and to eventually connect the north-south railway network, have begun to be formulated.
The second most important thing is to stabilize the Central Plains.
Relieve victims, manage the Yellow River, and redistribute land in the Central Plains. In addition, we must hold imperial examinations in the Central Plains, establish bureaucracies in various provinces in the Central Plains, and establish local government bureaus.
On the other hand.
It was the army that drove the Pingxi Fan army into the Fergana Basin. At the same time, the news from the Western Regions was also a headache. Lebao led his troops to invade Afghanistan!
As a result, Emperor Zhu was looking forward to some performance in Afghanistan, the imperial cemetery.
The Eight Banners soldiers under Le Bao actually carried out bloody and brutal massacres and plunders in the Durrani Dynasty.
They robbed a large amount of property and women and continued their march southward.
Even the Durrani dynasty is no match for Le Paul.
Don't even think about those Indian states in the Indus River Basin.
It would be too bad when Lebao leads his troops into India.
The Qing Dynasty actually revived its corpse!
Lebao struggled a lot.
He actually managed to create a situation.
Jin Yongyan, the respectful king of the Ming Dynasty who was under house arrest in the Zhongdu Palace, was the Jiaqing Emperor in history. Now he will have a crown on his head.
besides.
What concerned Emperor Zhu was
The army of the Tsarist Empire actually "disappeared" after suffering a defeat.
The battle reports from the front line prompted the Generalissimo's Office to urgently dispatch a regiment of more than 30,000 people into Monan. If these 20,000 Rakshasa soldiers suddenly appeared at the foot of the Great Wall, it would really be a big joke.
Moreover, it would be bad if these 20,000 soldiers went eastward to Liao.
It's also a nuisance.
In addition, there is also the matter of rebuilding Shaanxi, Gansu, and the Western Regions. These places all have immigrants from the Central Plains. Of course, in these places that the Ming court can firmly control, there is no need to carry muskets and play collective farms. .
Just distribute the fields.
But there are many things to do to do it well.
Things in Sichuan also need to be sorted out. There are too many local regiments and armed forces. Turning Sichuan into the original land of abundance is also a matter that needs to be sent to deal with it carefully.
These things are concentrated in the year 1794, which is about to pass.
Zhu Daohua and his ministers were so busy that they couldn't breathe.
Of course Zhu Daohua knew.
This is because I took too big a step and the stall spread out all of a sudden.
Just one year.
From a small corner of peace, only possessing the political power of a few southern provinces, to a unified dynasty that possessed the entire Han, Manchu, Mongolian, and Western Regions.
It's really too fast.
It was almost time for the officials of the Ming Dynasty to feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Daohua also knew that his pace was too fast.
But he always had the idea that time was waiting for us.
Because what he is doing now belongs to "Annei".
But it's not just Anne who really affects the control of the future world.
He needs to sort out the domestic problems as soon as possible so that he can devote all his energy to doing another thing: opening up North America!
I am thinking about developing North America.
It turns out it’s been over four years now.
The Ming Dynasty only established a trading port in Hawaii, stationed an army of less than 2,000 men in Hawaii, and also had a few navy warships. The route from Japan to North America was found, but the route back was still Exploring.
After all, you go with the ocean current when you go there, and you have to follow the ocean current when you come back - in this way, a closed loop of trade can be formed.
It was already late at night.
But Emperor Zhu was still in the main hall explaining matters in the Central Plains and Northeast China with the two prime ministers, the Chief of General Staff of the Grand Marshal's Mansion Zhao Si, and others.
Right now.
Wang Dayong came in a hurry with a slightly tired figure.
"Your Majesty, Monan discovered the main force of the Russian army. After some looting, they went north again!"
"Go north."
Zhu Daohua walked to the map, pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that they really want to mobilize Chen Dewang to divide his troops through movements. It seems that the Russian army still has the idea of fighting a war."
"There will definitely be a fight, otherwise they will just surrender." Zhao Si shouted, "This time we must beat up the Rakshasa ghosts and force them to come to a border with the Yenisei River."
"I'm afraid the Russians won't want to, if they continue to increase their troops in this area." Luo Fangbo frowned.
Zhu Daohua heard this and looked at the vast map of the north.
Actually.
The news he got must be several days behind.
Now the armies of both sides may have come into contact and even started fighting.
So in this era, what war requires is the decision-making of frontline commanders.
The technology of commanding the machine gunners to advance fifteen meters through telegraphs from behind was definitely not available in this era - even if it was available, Emperor Zhu would not dare to use it.
Lessons from the past
Ah, no, it should be a lesson for others.
So now he can only give full power to Chen Dewang and let the frontline generals perform on their own.
"Don't want? If you don't want to, just keep fighting! Let Chen Dewang continue to move westward after finishing this station. If the Russians want to use the Yenisei River as the boundary, then be prepared to welcome hundreds of thousands of Mongolians driving millions of cattle Let’s march westward with the expeditionary army!”
"At this stop, let Chen Dewang hit Tangnu Ulianghai first and wait for the Manchu and Mongolian tribes heading westward at the foot of Yanran Mountain!"
"Chen Dewang is so lucky. This is the result of sealing Yanran Mountain!"
Zhao Si smiled.
"Build a military fort in Yanran Mountain. Waiting for next spring, you can cross the Altai Mountains and enter the Jungar Grassland. You can even continue westward and nomadically follow the east-west grassland belt."
"The Mongols carrying muskets and artillery are marching westward. I want to see if the Russians can stand it."
Zhu Daohua smiled.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, they have divided their forces. Now we turn around and go back. We are facing only 5,000 people, the strength of a Ming Army infantry brigade!"
"Twenty thousand versus five thousand, I finally feel a little confident!"
Admiral Repnin breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news about the scout cavalry.
No one fights a losing battle.
Therefore, he can only mobilize the enemy through constant movement, wait for the enemy to divide his forces, and then concentrate his superior forces to attack the enemy's weak points.
According to Repnin.
Twenty thousand Russian troops fought against five thousand Ming troops.
Don’t say you will win.
evenly matched
It can always be done, right?
Prince Paul of the Russian Empire sighed.
Twenty thousand versus five thousand seems quite certain in terms of quantity.
But now, neither he nor Repnin is actually confident.
The strength of the Ming army is now deeply engraved in their minds
