Chapter 699 The strength of the all-round mobilization of Huang Taiji has skyrocketed, in fact, because of Russia.Decades earlier, in 1574, the Tsar had again ordered the Stroganovs to build cities on the eastern side of the Urals - the Ob River and its tributaries Tula, Tobol and Irtysh rivers to recruit troops, thus extending Russia's power directly into the territory of the Siberian Khanate.Adhering to the tsar's will, the Stroganovs repeatedly invaded the Siberian Khanate, where they clashed fiercely with the people of the khanate.In 1579, the Stroganovs sent a contact with Yermak, the Cossack leader who had been severely punished by the Tsar, and encouraged him to join the group to conquer the Siberian Khanate and serve the Tsar's colonization.With the arrival of Yermak, the pace of the Stroganov family's crusade began to accelerate abruptly, and with the Cossack cavalry fighting bravely, the Siberian Khanate was defeated by the invading Russian army.On October 26, 1581, the Russian invading army captured Kashrek, the capital of the Siberian Khanate.Yermak and his gang made a contribution to Russian expansion.The tsarist government decided to pardon Yermak and others, commend them for their actions and award large salaries.The Stroganovs were also encouraged and rewarded with two cities.After the division of the Mongol Khanate, the western Mongolia (Weite Mongols), the central Khalkha Mongols (Outer Mongolia), and the eastern Chahar Mongols (Inner Mongolia) were called the three Mongolian tribes.Weite Mongolia and Dzungaria, Duerbert, Heshute and Turghut four, of which the Turghut department in the lower reaches of the Volga River in Europe, in the eastern Mongolia except for Lin Dan Khan after the death, his son Ezhe only four tribes remained, a total of more than 40,000 (Luo), the other 16 49 feudal lords have taken refuge in Huang Taiji, in addition to the invasion of Tsarist Russia, in order to find a firm Mongolian friend, Weite Mongolia in its leader Batur Huntaiji (the father of Galdan) and Huang Taiji signed an alliance with Huang Taiji to jointly resist the Ming and Tsarist Russia.Under the mediation of Huang Taiji, the emperor, the Khalkha Mongols and the Weite Mongols drew a clear border and signed a peace treaty, and the two sides formed a bloody alliance in Kulen, they first formed a coalition army, ambushed Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuanbi's troops, and then attacked the tribes of Ezhe, beating the Ezhe tribes to the point of losing their armor and suffering heavy losses.As a result, on the occasion of the great victory, the morale of the Qing State was like a rainbow, and Huang Taiji recognized nineteen daughters in the Manchu royal family, and married nineteen nieces and his eight daughters to twenty-seven Mongolian Baylors.In this way, Hauge, Dolgon, have become a tool for marriage, Manchu and Mongolia marry each other, and now, Manchu and Mongolia are in the honeymoon period, especially the Weite Mongolia and Khalkha Mongolia have joined the camp of Huang Taiji, and even the intelligence of the General Staff of the Shang State is also a little lagging behind, and the Qing State is now not the strongest in the Manchu Eight Banners, but Mongolia.If one banner is compiled according to 7,500 people, the Khalkha Mongols alone can compile 500 cattle records, no less than 150,000 people, and as for the four feudal lords of Weite Mongolia, which have 50,000 to 80,000 horses under their jurisdiction, in the Qing State, where all the people are soldiers, the number of troops that the Qing State can use now is not about 250,000 horses as estimated by the General Staff of the Shang State, but between 450,000 and 550,000 horses.Because Lu Xiangsheng has been in the forefront of the Tumo River for a long time, he clearly feels that Mongolia has the support of the Ute Mongols from the Volga River, and it is not only the Tsarist Russia that has Cossacks, but also the Kazakhs, the Kyrgyz and so on.Lu Xiangsheng knew, but Chongzhen didn't know that when he heard that Lu Xiangsheng did not approve of sending troops to conquer the Qing Kingdom, Chongzhen's face became gloomy: "What, Lu Aiqing, are you afraid?"
”Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Emperor Chongzhen pointed at his sleeves, stood up, and said: "Aiqing only knows that my Ming grain and grass are insufficient and difficult to supply, but I don't know that at this time, many rivers in Mobei have been frozen, from the river surface to the bottom of the river, Huang Taiji is more difficult than our Ming Dynasty, when Tang Taizong in Zhenguan four years of the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks, it was to take advantage of the rare snow disaster in the Eastern Turks, more than two-thirds of the people and animals froze to death, Lu Aiqing only saw the disadvantages, but turned a blind eye to the great advantages, not afraid of what is Jiannu?
”Regarding Emperor Chongzhen's blind confidence, Lu Xiangsheng only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.If Quan Xu is here, he will definitely scare Chongzhen, who gave you the confidence to compare the Ming Dynasty with the Tang Dynasty?
Although Quan Xu is known as the god of war of the Ming Dynasty and has never been defeated, he is self-aware and knowing, and he is far from being the opponent of the military god Li Jing, not to mention Li Shiji, Su Dingfang, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Niu Junda and other Tang Dynasty generals.Lu Xiangsheng explained: "Wechen has never been afraid of Jiannu, when he was still the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion, Weichen dared to take a peasant soldier to the capital to fight Jiannu to the death, and now he has tens of thousands of strong troops in his hands, so he is even more afraid of them!"
But now is really not suitable for the army to fight, according to Weichen's opinion, the army to show off its might outside the pass, and immediately withdraw after winning hundreds of heads, if you want to fight Kulun, there is an opportunity, why choose at this time!
”Emperor Chongzhen said irritably: "Jiannu deceived me too much, even if he was called emperor against the sky, he actually sent people to Beijing to ask me to pay them three million taels of silver every year!"
What do they think of me?
Da Ming He once had a son of heaven who paid for money and kissed!
I can't swallow this breath, I have to destroy them!
”Lu Xiangsheng was stunned: "Is there anything else?"
Queen Zhou, who had been staying aside and didn't speak, spoke at this time: "This is what happened a few days ago.Jiannu sent a nobody as a messenger to the capital with a letter from the slave chieftain Taiji, and his tone was very arrogant, asking the Ming Dynasty to pay the so-called Qing Dynasty, otherwise he would personally lead the army south and raze the capital to the ground!
”Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is Jiannu's radical method, don't be fooled!"
”Chongzhen shouted irritably: "Lu Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind and will never change!"
I have appointed you as the commander of the three armies, can you take down the Kulen for me, take off the head of the traitor of Huang Taiji and present it to me?
”Emperor Chongzhen's gaze was both angry and expectant.After the rift with Quan Xu, Chongzhen is like an abandoned spare tire, and he urgently needs to show himself, however, he also knows that he is not the material for war, in terms of the ability to march and lead troops to fight, he is far inferior to Emperor Zhengde, give him a war horse, he can't ride.Looking at Emperor Chongzhen's expectant eyes, this made Lu Xiangsheng quite entangled.He was silent and did not speak for a long time.Emperor Chongzhen waited anxiously and said in disappointment: "What's the matter, Aiqing has no confidence?"
”Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth, knelt down from the table and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to obey!"
At this time, attacking Kulun, the time, place and people are completely not on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Weichen really can't bear to bury the lives of 100,000 soldiers with his own hands, and I implore Your Majesty to take back his life!
”Chongzhen laughed angrily, and said in a loud voice: "Good, good, good!"
This is my most trusted Lu Aiqing!
This is Lu Aiqing, who I rely on as the pillar of the town......"
Lu Xiangsheng knocked his head a few times, this is not pretending, his forehead instantly swollen, Lu Xiangsheng said indifferently: "Weichen is absolutely fearless of the idea of war and greed, and I beg Your Majesty to press it for a few more months, and when the autumn is cool, the minister will lead the army out of the customs, break through Kulun, capture Huang Taiji alive and escort him back to the capital, so that Your Majesty will be cut by a thousand knives!"
”Lu Xiangsheng could only retreat and seek the second, maintain Chongzhen's nine-year spring ploughing, and give tens of millions of people in the north a way to live.However, Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "I can't wait that long!"
If I wait any longer, I will lose face and become the laughing stock of the world!
You don't want to lead an army against Cullen, do you?
Okay, I'll lead the troops myself!
Don't think that without you, no one in the Ming Dynasty will be able to fight!
”After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he pointed his sleeves and walked out angrily.Lu Xiangsheng was in a hurry, knocked his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
At this time, Cullen really can't go!
If you go, I'm afraid you'll fall for Jiannu's tricks, Your Majesty think twice!
”Emperor Chongzhen just didn't hear it, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Lu Xiangsheng looked at Chongzhen's back blankly, only to feel that his heart kept sinking.In the past, he always felt that Chongzhen was good at listening to the opinions of his courtiers, fully trusted capable courtiers, and boldly delegated power, which made him grateful, but now he saw the other side of Chongzhen: rigid, impatient, and inviolable!
These character weaknesses are very fatal when put on the battlefield!
Two days later, Lu Xiangsheng was the reason why Chongzhen was so angry, and everyone in the capital talked about it, Emperor Chongzhen was Quan Xu's puppet, and he was not a fart without Quan Xu.These strange words even spread into the palace, making Emperor Chongzhen extremely angry, and now Lu Xiangsheng strongly advised him not to drive the expedition in person, let alone fight Kulun's idea, he immediately came out!
Now Chongzhen is already difficult to ride a tiger, not to mention that he has a rift with Quan Xu, even if it is the same as before, he will not let Quan Xu participate in the Northern Expedition, otherwise how can he prove that he is not worse than Quan Xu?
In any case, he must go north to Kulun, slaughter Huang Taiji, and prove to the world that he is no worse than Quan Xu!
Probably even Quan Xu didn't expect that just because of those cold words, there would be such a big rift between him and Chongzhen.And Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that it was precisely because he persuaded Chongzhen not to go on the Northern Expedition, however, there was also a rift between him and Emperor Chongzhen.Lu Xiangsheng's refusal to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the army and his pessimistic attitude towards the Northern Expedition to the Qing Dynasty angered Emperor Chongzhen, and three days later, he issued a decree appointing Gao Qiqian as commander-in-chief of the three armies.As soon as this order came out, the Ming generals were in an uproar.In the eyes of all the generals, even if Quan Xu is not sent to lead the troops as the commander of the three armies, Lu Xiangsheng is also the best candidate for the commander of the three armies, even if Lu Xiangsheng is unwilling to be the commander of the three armies, isn't there still Man Gui?
Isn't there still Mao Wenlong?
Even if it is not good enough to let Zhang Fengyi take command of the expedition, he doesn't know how strong it is compared to Gao Qiqian, a gelding!
However, now Chongzhen has handed over the army to such a eunuch, but the morale of the Ming army generals is not light, and they all scolded angrily: "What ability does that dead eunuch have, he can ride on our heads!"
”Soldiers only serve those generals who fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield, and they are not birds for others.And Gao Qiqian did not disappoint everyone, after he became the commander of the three armed forces.The first order shocked the whole army: Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, was ordered to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to join the Northern Expedition.When Lu Xiangsheng learned of this order, he was so angry that he scolded: "Mess around!
It's just a mess!
What can the Qin army do when thousands of people come to Beijing?
Isn't it good for them to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng in the direction of Shaanxi?
”Sun Chuanting was a general who stood out in the battle to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng's rebels, after Lu Xiangsheng captured Gao Yingxiang alive and severely damaged the peasant rebels, Li Zicheng led the remnants out of the Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi borders, and made a noise, and Li Zicheng's command grew to more than 50,000 people.Under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and Chen Cangguan ambushed with heavy troops, so that the army of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was almost wiped out, and Li Zicheng only broke through with less than 100 cavalry.If such an army is transferred to participate in a frontal attack, will he fight in the end?
It was useless to scold, under the strict orders of the Ministry of War, Sun Chuanting could only lead Wang Qiaonian, Hu Dawei and other fierce generals and 6,000 elite soldiers to march towards Beijing.Watching Qin Bing retreat, Li Zicheng knelt on the ground and cried, shouting: "Heaven will never stop me!"

”Quan Xu, who was in the same heavy mood as Lu Xiangsheng, was speechless for a long time when he learned that Gao Qiqian had become the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty.He drew his pistol, and the shadow wall of the Shang King's Mansion was a shuttle bullet, and the bullet hit the reinforced concrete, and sparks flew everywhere.Quan Xu roared like thunder in anger: "Such a court, such a center, how to save, how to save?"
How to save ......" said three in a row how to save.The Ming Dynasty has ruled the world for more than 200 years, and it is not possible to say that Zhu's orthodox ideology is really so deeply rooted in the bone marrow of these people.It is not so much the fear of the new era that these people are coming, the fear that everything they have learned and everything they are accustomed to has been abandoned by the tide of the times.The pace of history has always been heavy and slow.Quan Xu's strength, especially military strength, has more than enough to overwhelm the Ming Dynasty.But he still has to work hard to create another wave of tide.This wave of tide shows that in the face of great changes unseen in 3,000 years, everything that was familiar in the past and everything that was used handily is no longer appropriate.In the face of the new forces, everything will only get worse and worse.They must be left to take this last step on their own, and any attempt to save it will seem like a joke!
Jeon Wook was a little exhausted.In the last days of the Ming Dynasty, only conspiracy remained, only stale remained, and only intrigue for power and profit remained.Quan Xu had already seen all this, but he was just a little naïve and a little fantasical.There is no owner of the artifact, why should everyone be convinced that you Quan Xu is the true son of heaven?
Don't be decades of civil unrest then!
The history books are full of evidence.Maintaining the authority of the central government and then reforming it is not another way!
In fact, it turns out that this path does not work.At this moment, "Your Majesty!
”"What's the matter?""
Li Xin asks to see you!""
Spread Li Xin and Shen Mingze to come over to discuss matters!"
After half an hour, Quan Xu's mood slowly calmed down.In the warm pavilion of the Shang King's Mansion, Quan Xu stood at the window: "I have been trying my best to avoid a full-scale civil war, the world is now in an era of unprecedented changes, we have taken a step ahead, as the so-called one trick fresh, eat all over the world, our Chinese nation has been ahead of the world for two or three thousand years, this step, if you can't catch up, it's not a day or two to catch up, now you can't avoid it!"
”Shen Mingze opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard the rumors, saying that someone had joined forces to build slaves, and wanted to lead the slaves into the customs, and the artifact changed hands, and when the time came, gather the strength of the whole country to deal with the king's ......"
"I understand!"
”Quan Xu looked at Li Xin and said: "Li Xin, I'll give you a bottom line, you go to the South Seas, give the Dutch East India Company, and the Great Britain East India Company, give an ultimatum, I give them half a month, don't give me a reasonable explanation, and start a full-scale war, but all Western ships, I see one sinking one......"
Quan Xu knows that the Europeans do not have the strength to occupy the South Seas on a large scale now, and their biggest shortcoming is that there are too few people, originally Quan Xu thought about taking Mindanao.However, there is no need to rush for a while, with the strength of the Shang Navy, even if it cannot defeat the European Combined Fleet, forcibly wait for the land Zamboanga and cover the Marines to occupy Zamboanga, no one can stop it.In the strategy of going south and going north, the center and court of the Ming Dynasty forced Quan Xu to give in, otherwise, with the Ming Dynasty's family background, this battle would definitely be lost.Li Xin bowed and said, "The minister understands!
”Quan Xu looked at Shen Mingze and said: "Dean Shen, I order you, as the dean of the political affairs, to issue an administrative order, and the Shang country will be fully mobilized, even if you use people to carry it, you must carry food and ammunition to Mobei." ”PS: Make an advertisement, the movie "Life and Death Sniper" written by me, starring Li Youbin and Zhang Guangbei Yano Koji, will be launched on 10.2, welcome everyone to hold a personal show!
