South Asia, Zhou Kingdom, Bengal, Dhaka City.After the Zhou army captured the Ming merchants entrenched in Bengal, Wu Sangui was always worried that Zhao Ming would retaliate.Sure enough, not long after, news came from Zhou Guoxizuo that Zhao Ming isolated Donghu with the punishment of no tribute, and prepared to attack Donghu and open the road to Zhou.Now that the Zhou State is based in South Asia, Zhao Ming wants to retaliate against the Zhou State, the Wusi-Tibet Plateau is impassable, the Western Regions detour is too far, and the grain is too long, which is unrealistic.Wu Sangui originally thought that Zhao Ming would come from the sea, so he allied with Yingyi, who had strong ships and cannons, to block the Ming army coming from the sea.After the alliance, Wu Sangui thought that his country had been stabilized and got rid of Zhao Ming's shadow.However, what Wu Sangui didn't expect was that Zhao Ming was going to attack Donghu.When he first got the news, Wu Sangui didn't care, Zhao Zamao was a hegemon in China, and he couldn't control who he wanted to fight, and he didn't do his business, but when Hong Chengchou brought the map and told Wu Sangui the location of Donghu, Wu Sangui couldn't sit still.That night, Wu Sangui scolded Zhao Ming more than once, he fled to South Asia, ran to the hometown of the Buddha, and prepared to fight with the world, but Zhao Zamao still didn't let him go.Donghu is in the east of the Zhou State, just separating the Zhou State from the Yunnan land of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zamao occupies Donghu, and the Ming Dynasty re-borders the Zhou State, and the army can directly enter the Zhou State by land.This made Wu Sangui understand that Zhao Zamao was going to open up the land passage to Zhou State.After realizing this, the Zhou State was naturally unwilling to sit idly by, and the best way was to form an alliance with Donghu, increase troops to Donghu, and block the Ming army in Donghu and drag it in Donghu.To this end, Wu Sangui sent Doni as an envoy to the Donoo Kingdom, and soon signed an alliance with the isolated King of Donghu, Bai Mang, and later arranged for his ally, the British East India Company, to join the alliance.The Triple Alliance, with hundreds of thousands of armor, has enough soldiers and food, and is well-armed, not to mention extinguishing the Ming, there should be no problem in self-preservation.However, Wu Sangui was still not at ease, and personally rushed from Delhi to the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and designated Dhaka as the eastern capital, so as to support Donghu nearby.At this time, when Zhao Ming was arranging troops in Guangzhou, Wu Sangui was in the eastern capital of Dhaka, and he was also gathering his henchmen to discuss the current situation.In the palace of the Eastern Capital, Wu Sangui stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, his eyes fixed on a map of the world obtained from the British.On this map, in addition to the continents and oceans drawn by the British, the Zhou Kingdom also marked and painted the world they were familiar with.The map of Yingyi is relatively clear about the sea routes, the distribution of continents and oceans, and coastal countries, but there are few marks for the interior of the continent.Zhou Guo added his own annotations to the Ming Dynasty, the Western Regions, Mobei, Hezhong, Rakshasa and the interior of Tianzhu to become a complete map."
Zhao Zamao sent troops to Wusizang, transported military rations to the northwest, and mobilized soldiers and horses, could it be that he really wanted to attack the Western Regions?"
Wu Sangui frowned.Sun Kewang, Hong Chengchou and other ministers of the Zhou State stood on both sides of the main hall.Hong Chengchou held the ivory wat and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is Zhao Zamao's usual trick, and the sound is attacking the west.From the minister's point of view, it is true that Zhao Zamao wants to recover the Western Regions, but at the moment, his real plan must be Donghu. ”After years of fighting and countless heartaches, Hong Chengchou already knows Zhao Ming very well.From the news released by the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou felt that it was another taste and saw Zhao Ming's conspiracy.Zhao Ming really likes to avoid the real and make the false, find the enemy's weak point, and then launch an attack.Wu Sangui had suffered a loss at this point, he turned around and said in a deep voice: "Then the Western Regions don't care?"
”At this time, Sun Kewang came out of the column and saluted: "Your Majesty, the land of the Western Regions is barren, but the land of Tianzhu is rich.At present, our Chinese people in Tianzhu, with a population of less than 300,000, rule over more than 60 million Tianzhu people, and their control is really insufficient.The land of the Western Regions, although it is connected with Tianzhu, but the road is difficult to travel, the traffic is not all over, once an incident occurs, or the Ming army attacks, it is difficult for the Great Zhou to support.The minister thought that no matter whether the Ming army attacked the Western Regions or not, the imperial court should gradually move the Chinese people from the Western Regions into Tianzhu and increase the population of our headquarters in order to control the Tianzhu people.In the Western Regions, only a few men and horses were left to garrison and contain the Ming army. ”In order to fight against the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi first called himself the Jurchens, created the Eight Banners, and put the various tribes together.It was under the Eight Banners system that the Manchus gathered a large number of people, and after entering the customs, they ruled over a large Han people.After replacing the Mughal Empire, the Zhou State entered the customs to rule India, and faced the same problem as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, how to rule tens of millions of Tianzhu people with a small population.The number of Zhou troops who entered Tianzhu was already small, and it was divided into Han, Mongol, Manchu, and Yarkand people, so Sun Kewang suggested that these four ethnic groups be combined into one tribe, called the Chinese people, to rule India.But even so, there are less than 300,000 Chinese in South Asia.With such a small population, in the face of nearly 100 million Tianzhu people, the ruling class of the Zhou State is like sitting on a needle carpet every day, worrying that the Tianzhu people will rise up to resist.Therefore, Sun Kewang suggested that the Western Regions should be gradually abandoned, and the Chinese people in the Western Regions should be moved to Tianzhu, so as to increase the population of the headquarters and concentrate on the management of Tianzhu.Wu Sangui frowned, the connection between Tianzhu and the Western Regions is inconvenient, and the Western Regions are indeed not as rich as Tianzhu, but giving up the Western Regions, for Wu Sangui, is like completely severing the connection with the Central Plains and cutting off his roots.Wu Sangui was silent for a while, looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Prime Minister Hong also thinks that the Western Regions should be gradually abandoned?"
”Hong Chengchou obviously discussed with Sun Kewang, and saluted: "The minister thinks that the Western Regions are like chicken ribs in the Great Zhou.Now, since the Great Zhou Dynasty is based on Tianzhu, it should focus on operating Tianzhu and focus on Donghu to prevent the Ming Dynasty from attacking!
”Wu Sangui frowned and said, "How can the prime minister be sure, Zhao Zamao will definitely go east, not attack us in the Western Regions."
If you take Tianzhu from a widow, you are going to the Western Regions!
”Hong Chengchou said: "Because Zhao Zamao started from the water division, the south of the Ming Dynasty was more prosperous than the north, and the materials, money and grain were in the south, so he would inevitably take the southern road, first seize Donghu, and then attack my Great Zhou by land and water."
As for His Majesty, who entered the customs from the Western Regions and is the lord of Tianzhu, Zhao Zamao is difficult to copy.Because, Zhao Zamao is facing my Great Zhou, not the Mughals, and secondly, His Majesty has built a pass in the Khyber Pass and deployed heavy troops, even if Zhao Zamao comes from the west, he will not be able to enter Tianzhu!
”Sun Kewang said: "Your Majesty, even if the Western Regions are lost now, there is not much loss for my Great Zhou, and once Donghu is occupied by the Ming army, my Great Zhou is in danger of losing the country."
Therefore, I beg your Majesty to come to the aid of Donghu in a big way!
”Wu Sangui was a little moved when he heard the words of the two, he was silent for a while and clenched his fists, "Okay!"
The widow mobilized troops and horses to reinforce Donghu on a large scale, making Donghu a place where Zhao Zamao's halberd sank into the sand!
”Hong Chengchou and Sun Kewang breathed a sigh of relief, the Donghu State had nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the Zhou State was constantly sending troops over, with the help of the terrain and climate of Donghu, the Ming army would definitely be able to drag the Ming army in Donghu.At this time, when everyone was excited, a minister hurriedly entered the main hall and reported urgently, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Doni that Bai Mang has made peace with the Ming Dynasty!"
”As soon as these words came out, Wu Sangui and the others were stunned.()
