And what Sobiesky didn't understand was that these Rakshasa serfs did show very fearless bravery at this time, even if they saw their cavalry coming, they didn't change their faces and wanted to fight hard, as if they were completely controlled by the Ming people, and they were not even afraid of death.In order to defend their fields, these Rakshasa serfs did show a lot of blood.As a result, the Polish hussars were unable to defeat this group of serfs who had just abandoned their farm tools, even though the well-trained Polish hussars cut down many serfs.However, Zhu Cizhuo was unwilling to let these Rakshasa serfs suffer too many casualties, and after seeing the Red Flame Army and the Polish hussars fighting together, he let the Ming army on his side also attack.As a result, the Ming army that spread all over the mountains also rushed over.As the best army of this era, once it starts to charge, it is as unstoppable as a torrent.The Polish hussars, who were in a scuffle with the Red Flame Army, were quickly shot down in various situations where they failed to see the enemy's face.Of course, not long after the Ming army joined the charge, the remaining 30,000 Polish hussars completely lost their combat effectiveness and began to flee frantically in all directions, and some even dismounted and begged for mercy.Sobiesky was also on the run.But it was clear that he could not escape, and the Ming army, surrounded from all sides, had surrounded him and the remnants of thousands of Polish hussars around him.Seeing this, Sobiesky didn't say anything, but resolutely put the knife across his neck, and then wiped it, and planted the horse directly.The remaining Polish hussars were either annihilated or captured alive.At this point, the main force of 120,000 Polish hussars was completely annihilated.The Ming army successfully won a big victory in the first stage of the offensive on the northern front, proving its strength as a super-empire.This also meant that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth could no longer organize any forces to stop the expansion of the Ming army.Next, Zhou Yuji ordered Zhu Cizhuo to take advantage of the victory to march to Warsaw, where the army was empty.… Warsaw.King Ovitsky of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had learned that Sobieski and his main force of 120,000 Polish hussars were surrounded in the lowlands along the Dnieper.The news was that Sobiesky had sent someone to swim across the Dnieper River during the siege and brought it back to Ovitsky.Ovitsky even learned about the fall of Minsk shortly after this.Both of these news drove him crazy."
Brandenburg, Prussia, Austria, Czech Republic......
And the Ottomans, didn't they say that they put aside their prejudices and deal with the Orientals together, where are their reinforcements, why haven't they sent reinforcements yet!
”Ovitsky asked anxiously.And his close retainer Dobel had to explain: "They came to report that at the instigation of the Ming army, there had been a serf rebellion in their territory, especially the Ottomans, and that the Arab tribes in their territory had launched a larger-scale rebellion!"
The Ming army used the method of dividing the land and property among the rural serfs, and instigated many serfs, and even many incidents occurred in our Poland, and many nobles had to flee to Warsaw for refuge. ”"What can I do?"
Ovitsky collapsed in despair on the soft chair, looked at the exquisite roof, and said: "I don't understand, these Orientals swallow up the whole world, but why don't they want our land, but give the land they have taken to these lowly serfs!"
Then why are they trying to annex the whole world, what are they trying to do!
”"Report!"
At this time, one of Ovitsky's close ministers in charge of information transmission came running and said: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency Duke Sobiesky and his main force of 120,000 winged cavalry were wiped out half a month ago, and His Excellency Duke himself committed suicide, and now the five princes of the Ming Kingdom have led an army of 300,000 to our Warsaw. ”"What?!"
Ovitsky immediately stood up, stunned."
We have no troops to defend, Your Majesty, let's surrender, according to the policy of the Ming army, there is still a surrender, in addition, we can blame Sobiesky for the past attack on Moscow, anyway, he can no longer speak."
Dobel suggested at this point.After Ovitsky groaned, he immediately ordered: "Go and arrest Morozov and other exiled nobles of the Rakshasa country, and present them to the Ming army when the time comes, and then go to the Vistula River to kneel to meet the army in the east!"
”"Yes!"
…… A few days later.Morozov and other Rakshasa nobles living in exile in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were all tied up and knelt on the snow on the banks of the Vistula River.Behind them, Ovitsky, the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, also led a group of nobles to kneel here.Although the cold wind was biting, they did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.After all, the artillery of the Ming army, which is getting closer and closer to them on the other side, will open fire at any time, leaving them dead with no place to bury.The only ones who did not kneel were the serfs outside Warsaw, who were not national, but simply numb.For them, who live one day at a time, they are not afraid of death and immortality, so why kneel for survival, if the Ming army gives them a bowl of porridge at this time, they will naturally kneel.More and more Ming troops appeared on the banks of the river on the opposite bank, dense like a forest, and like plum blossoms in the snowfield, they began to bloom along the riverbank.Zhu Cizhuo sat in the steam chariot, looking at the Polish nobles kneeling like ice sculptures on the opposite bank with binoculars, and the white flag erected high on the castle, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "I should be the prince who has walked the farthest in the three hundred years of the dynasty!"
At this moment, it would be great to have someone draw it, and when you enter the city, remember to ask their court painter to draw one. ”Soon after, Zhu Cizhuo led the Ming army across the Vistula River and surrounded the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Ovitsky, and others.Ovitsky held up the instrument of surrender and, after Zhu Cizhuo came to him, he expounded his request for surrender.Zhu Cizhuo thus took Ovitsky's surrender and asked Jinyiwei to escort Ovitsky and the others down.Not long after, as the king, Ovitsky was imprisoned in an iron cage and sent by the Jinyi Guard to the Ming Jingshi.In the process of being escorted to the Ming Dynasty, he saw that many Rakshasas were actively transporting food and building roads for the Ming army under the command of the Orientals, and they were all smiling."
Oh my God, what kind of country is this!
Why can they let these Rakshasas do things for the people who have destroyed their country!
”Ovitsky thus questioned inwardly with great incomprehension.In fact, it is normal for Ovitsky to have this question.After all, the current Ming Dynasty, strictly speaking, is indeed a country that has stepped into modern civilization.Decades of civilian education and ideological unification construction have allowed the Ming Dynasty to have a large number of scholars who believe in the great justice of the world and should be based on the interests of producers.These scholars constitute the ruling system of the Ming Dynasty from the grassroots level to the central court.The central court of the Ming Dynasty has a strong mobilization ability.Unlike in the past, when imperial power did not go to the countryside, the imperial court needed to cooperate with local gentry in order to complete various military and political tasks.Even the former Rakshasa region, which had only been annexed for a few years, is now filled with a large number of Xingming Society scholars from the interior of the Ming Dynasty as grassroots officials, thus participating in its work of dividing land and collecting taxes and mobilization.As a result, Ovitsky saw a large number of Rakshasas taking the initiative to hand over part of the grain they produced to the designated site under the command of the Orientals.Ovitsky asked himself if his Confederation could do it, and not long after the destruction of a country, it would be able to get the people of that country to bow down and build roads for themselves.When Ovitsky was taken to the Anxi Protectorate and saw the train that had already opened, he was even more surprised: "My God!
Why are they so smart?
It was possible to make such a huge iron monster run on two iron tracks. ”Ovitsky thought that after seeing the railroad and trains, he was about to arrive at the capital of the Ming Kingdom, and saw the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.But what he didn't expect was that he only went to the outside of the core area of the Ming Kingdom, and it was still thousands of miles away from the capital of the Ming Kingdom.So much so that when he arrived at the Daming Jingshi, he couldn't help but sigh: "Compared with his own Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it is really like an ant compared to a goshawk!"
”Ovitsky was completely convinced.But all he was curious about now was how such a vast empire had been run, why there had been no divisions, and why people everywhere had accepted the rule of a king.Newton was also curious about the question.He is now a student of the School of Foreign Religion and Chemistry at the Huaxia University Hall of the Ming Dynasty, where he was educated in Chinese along with scholars from Cambridge University in other natural sciences who were also brought to the Ming Dynasty.This academy was set up by Zhu Youxiao's decree, with the purpose of Sinicizing education for the captured Xiyi scholars and the kings who surrendered or voluntarily surrendered.Naturally, Ovitsky will be brought here, if he is acquitted......." front-line battle report, King Ovitsky of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has surrendered, and the country has been annexed by my Ming Dynasty!
In addition, according to the Heguo Gong Bao, the Ming officers and soldiers who were responsible for opening up territories in the hinterland of Europe had established a number of Ming ruling areas in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Saxony, and asked the imperial court to appoint various officials as soon as possible. ”Zhu Youxiao learned the news of the destruction of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by the Ming Dynasty from Zhang Tong's mouth, and laughed because of this, and said to Zhang Tongchang: "I didn't expect that this Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth couldn't help fighting!"
”"It's not just that you can't help fighting!
The entire hinterland of Europe must not be able to cope with the expansion strategy of my Ming Empire, with a seal and a gun and the policy of dividing the land and land, he can quickly establish himself as the king in his rear, unless these European nobles can give up their family business to buy serfs, otherwise, they cannot be my Ming opponents. ”Zhang Tongchang replied with a smile."
The officials here must step up the appointment of officials from all the ruling districts!""
In addition, this is a method that can speed up unification, and the officials who are excellent in the grassroots assessment do not have to wait for the actual shortage to appear before being promoted, they are first promoted to higher-level alternate officials, and then sent to Moscow, and they can be replenished to the local area at any time, and the officers who have been discharged due to injury or age will also stay in Moscow first, waiting for appointment!""
In addition, the court of the three laws has a regulation on the discussion of crimes, and all officials and ordinary people who have committed related crimes, if they have the courage to go thousands of miles away, to the rear of the enemy country, and launch a slave rebellion, and open up new territory for the Ming Dynasty, can be guilty of meritorious service in this way, and if they die in the enemy country, the crime committed will not be investigated; If he really opened up territory behind the enemy's country, he was considered meritorious and could be appointed as a local official; If you defect to the enemy country and do things for the enemy country, once you are arrested in the future, you will be punished for both the old crime and the new crime, and you will be dealt with severely!
”Sending a small group of elite troops to the rear of the enemy country to plot against the serfs at the bottom was originally the idea mentioned by Zhu Youxiao when he gave instructions to Zhu Cizhuo and Zhou Yuji.Now, Zhu Youxiao saw that this effect was not bad, and in order to speed up the process of reunification, he thought about whether the people who committed crimes among the Han people could also be sent to all parts of the world in the way of making meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty.The imperial court issued documents that allowed the territory to be opened up and temporarily administered for the imperial court, so that the Han Chinese among these criminals could also play some value."
Your Majesty, how can we be sure that they are really willing to open up territory, and what if they go into hiding after they are released?"
Lu Xiangsheng asked.Wen Tiren said at this time: "It's better to let them pay the guaranteed silver!"
”"The imperial court doesn't care whether anyone really wants to open up territory to atone for their sins, and directly stipulates that if you want to be exiled to an overseas enemy country to open up territory for the Han family, how much money you have to pay, buy and change the penalty and open up the territory, and only those who have this document and the household department case can be sentenced to exile overseas, and there are special law enforcement ships to send to the rear of the enemy country, and different crimes and punishments will naturally pay different money!""
In this way, even if the person who pays the money to change the sentence does not open up the territory, the imperial court can enrich the national treasury by buying documents, so that the increased national treasury can be used to form more fleets, and continue to open up territory overseas in the name of the imperial court!""
Of course, if the common people have not committed a crime, but also want to open up territory for the imperial court, they can buy similar documents to the sea, but the money is much less, and there are always ordinary people who dare to go overseas to pan for gold, especially in Fujian and Guangdong."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "This is a method, you discuss it at the court meeting, draft a question script, submit it to the imperial court for approval, and then implement it in the world." ”In this way, the Ming Dynasty was the third time that the Ming Dynasty allowed the powerful to go to sea to open up territory and establish a country, and took the initiative to divide the nobles of the clan to go to the sea to establish a vassal state, and let people go overseas to open up territory, but this time it was to allow civilians to do so.It can be seen that in order to include global resources in the hands of the Han people as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao has constantly lowered the requirements for the identity and status of people who go overseas to build a country."
Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, in the future, my Ming Dynasty will open up new ruling areas overseas, and if you want to instigate the local people to become the people of the Ming Dynasty, you must also take into account the problem of language and customs.Zhang Tongchang suggested at this time.Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Very good!"
In the future, the education of international students will change from accepting international students from the foreign aristocratic class to choosing to train foreign students from the civilian class!
