He came to replace Liu Yu with a mighty general of the Zhongji Battalion, and also brought more than 400 soldiers from the Zhongji Battalion.

It is estimated that the imperial court also knows the virtues of the government soldiers and border troops who have changed their taste, and someone has to suppress them.

Otherwise, the devil knows if they will run home and keep their little life when they see that they can't hold it and the war is not going well. As the saying goes, the progress of the downwind rush is like the wind, and the headwind sticks to another master.

A powerful general of neither high rank nor low was sent to wait for the arrival of the sailor to lead and cooperate, so as not to make any mistakes.

The order over there was for Liu Yu to take a group of Beijing soldiers who had gone to Yongning Temple with him, and then select some of the soldiers from the government who had seen blood in previous battles and performed well.

After the handover, all the officers quietly came to congratulate Liu Yu.

The fight in the west is not going well, which is said to be a very bad thing, but people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

All the officers felt that the fight in the west was not going well, didn't it seem that we were following Lord Liu to play a prestige here? This time, this is going to be promoted?

Liu Yu was not complacent, but carefully asked the mighty general and Du Feng who came to see what was going on on the western front.

It is very likely that he will be caught by the emperor as a firefighter, so it is better to ask the elite of the five battalions of the imperial court first, and he has a good idea.

The mighty general told him in detail about the battle in Muli Jiwei in the west, and Liu Yu was shocked...... This elite is an elite, and it's quite beautiful.

This group of people felt that it was very difficult to fight over there, mainly because of the comparison between the ambush battle on Liu Yu's side and the battle report of the field battle.

But in Liu Yu's opinion, the west is clearly playing very well.

This elite combat power is very strong.

In the early stage, it was indeed because I didn't know much about the attack and defense of the fortress, and many people died.

This kind of experience is all practiced, and it cannot be born with it. Dead people are an insurmountable price, it's normal, how many have died? The experience of the fortress made by the European side is piled up by tens of thousands of dead.

In the later period, after the heavy artillery suppressed the fortress artillery, the elite heavy turtledove guns drawn from the Hetao suppressed the fire formation of the fortress without chaos; Under the cover, the veteran of the medal fought hand-to-hand combat, broke through the last defensive line of the fortress in a daze, and succeeded in landing the city by relying on a simple wooden ladder.

Storming a fort garrisoned by four or five hundred people killed a thousand people, and in the last part, he was able to organize backbone veterans to fight, and the combat effectiveness of this elite was definitely worthy of the word elite. It is estimated that the whole country will be able to draw 20,000 or 30,000 such troops, right?

Relatively speaking, with such a strong combat power, as long as the tactics are appropriate, the Rakshasas can't hold a few fortresses on this side at all. When negotiating, it's entirely possible to take a few more bites.

Even since the emperor gave the order, Liu Yu did not dare to delay. He selected some soldiers and light horsemen to follow him, and found a few people from the local tribe to be his guides. did not take the waterway, but directly crossed the Xiaoxing'an Mountains Broken Ridge Valley Road and went straight to Muli Jiwei.

As soon as you get to Murijiwei, you can feel that this place is heavily defended.

The leaders of the Khalkha Mongol tribes had arrived, and the emperor did not hold an alliance, because the military might was not enough to deter.

In order to prevent any changes in the Khalkha Mongols, nearly 12,000 emperors' personal troops, guards, and cavalry were ready to fight.

After the conquered Muli Jiwei was simply repaired, the emperor's camp tent was temporarily stationed there.

There were no houses that met the specifications, so large bright yellow tents were used. Several large vermilion tents were also set up inside the city, which were intended for the Mongol chieftains, and the rest of the Mongol cavalry were stationed outside the city.

There were constantly wooden boats carrying grain and grass on the Nenjiang River, and Mongolian riders were not allowed to set up tents along the river, probably to prevent accidents and facilitate the emperor's escape along the river.

When he arrived outside the city, the Duke of Eguo, who was in charge of the guards, received Liu Yu first and arranged for the people brought by Liu Yu to be stationed near the city.

The work of receiving rewards for meritorious service can only be carried out after the battle is over. In addition, the waterways taken by the captives captured by Liu Yu could not be used to strengthen the military at this time.

In front of everyone's eyes, perhaps because the atmosphere was too tense, E Guogong didn't say anything extra to Liu Yu, just patted him on the shoulder and nodded at him.

After resting for half an hour and changing clothes, I heard the emperor's summons.

Entered the big tent, kowtowed and saluted, scolded his mother in one go, and there was no one else in the tent except for the emperor, eunuchs, and guards.

The emperor neither praised nor rewarded, but went straight to the point and asked directly: "The Rakshasa people are in the castle in the west, can you be sure to capture it, so as to show the power of the imperial army in the eyes of the Khalkhas?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the height of the castle, the number of defenders, and the quality of the soil, Wei Chen doesn't know. Don't dare to reply whether. ”

Li Gan snorted, thinking that this was the case, and he was impatient again. However, this Liu Yu is not arrogant, which is extremely rare.

"Your Majesty wants to attack the city, and the ministers should do their best. I don't know the big hole lantern made by the minister that day, can it be? ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of that thing.

When it was first made, the capital shook, and Liu Yu talked eloquently about thinking about the border war, and he was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but in fact, the emperor guarded him and was ready to run away to Nanyang.

Later, Jin Shuiqiao asked, but the thing was not returned to Liu Yu immediately. This time, the emperor didn't think that it would be useful at all.

Now that Liu Yu said this, the emperor suddenly woke up.

yes, isn't that a siege weapon? Fly into the sky, with the help of a clairvoyant mirror, isn't the situation in the city clear? To the west, there is a large grassland, trees are hard to find, and a watchtower is really not as tall as a hot air balloon.

Moreover, those Khalkha Mongols did not expect to have seen such a thing, and it was a good time to deter them at that time.

Originally, Li Gan was preparing to use this war to completely surrender the Khalkha Mongols. After the battle, it is necessary to meet the alliance, and the alliance requires a variety of preparations.

Mongolians believe in the Red and Yellow Religions, all of which are Buddhism, and some of the animals in Buddhist scriptures have special meanings.

At the time of the alliance, Li Gan was going to send people to bring tribute elephants, lions and other animals from the capital, one was the style of the Celestial Empire, and the other was to respect their beliefs.

One of the major reasons for the surrender of the Khalkha Mongols is that the Rakshasa people believe in Dongzheng, and there are lamas and Huangjiao Buddhist temples in the capital. Let two elephants decorate the façade and make auspicious celebrations, and the Khalkha people are also happy, anyway, they must be closer than the Orthodox who nagged the Virgin all day long.

The delivery of these things is slow, but if you take the grassland post line for 800 miles to expedit, some small things can still be transported quickly.

Thinking of this, I didn't know what strange requests Liu Yu would make, so he said, "What else do you want, just say it." Just ask the fast horse to transport it. All you have to say is that I only want this battle to be subjugated by the Khalkhas. ”

Liu Yu asked tentatively: "Weichen does have something to want." It's just that although the minister wants it, whether this thing can be used or not needs to be decided by His Majesty. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Wechen's family also had a few Western military uniforms from French missionaries. Presumably, there must be a lot of Western uniforms from the capital of the DPRK. The minister invited dozens of sets of blue Western uniforms of France, a blue iris flag of France, and a French military flag with a white background. The two armies clashed, and the soldiers did not tire of deceit; At the negotiation table, it is even more deceitful. These few things may be able to trick the Celestial Empire back from the Rakshasa for several more miles. ”

This thing is really a bit imaginative, Li Gan was a little puzzled for a while, and then reacted.

"You mean, tell me to put on the generals and trick the Rakshasas into thinking that the French are also helping in this battle? France is thousands of miles away, and it doesn't seem to border the Rakshasa country, even if there are some soldiers, but what is the use? ”

Liu Yu was just testing just now, if the emperor was not interested, or didn't want to do it at all, then he couldn't help it. Shut up obediently, continue to climb up, and then consider the problem of opening your eyes to the world after climbing high.

Since the emperor did not immediately deny it, there was obviously a chance.

If you were to choose an ally, or a potential ally, in Europe at this time, the best target would be France.

One is that the French navy could not defeat the British, and the British have now reached India, and their influence in Southeast Asia is growing day by day. France had no chance of any conflict with Dashun for the time being, and the land did not border, and the French Navy and the East India Company were definitely being played by the British Navy.

Second, France is the "filial son" of God, not as zealous as Spain or Portugal, and has long formed an alliance with Turkey and arrested the pope under house arrest. In the face of the frequent religious plans within the country and the imminent implementation of the ban on religion, France should also be willing to take this opportunity to replace the dominant position of the Jesuits in China.

Third, the exchanges between France and Dashun are also close, and the map with latitude and longitude is also drawn by a group of Frenchmen. And France, although it has a picture, it is useless. Before winning the battle against Britain and eating India, China has no ability to covet China at all. If France had exploded Britain and eaten India, Dashun would have not completed the initial military reforms...... That's not helped, wait for a cannon to sound and the red flag will roll up to save yourself.

Seeing that he was about to ban religion after this battle, Liu Yu still hoped to take this opportunity to leave a big window for foreign exchanges.

His "mentor", Dai Jinxian, the squire of the government and the eunuch of Qintian, was already going to Rome, but he didn't have to think about it, it didn't have any effect, and it was impossible for the rigid old men in Rome who were in their eighties to have this flexibility.

This is nothing more than a symbolic effort by the DPRK and China to silence the mouths of the Korean believers in order to ban religion.

Just because of Protestantism and Old Christianity, it has been fought for decades, and it is destined who is the most conservative and who is the pope, this is a stress reaction, and there is no way.

It was not until the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo that the pope allowed the followers of the state to worship their ancestors and worship Confucius.

That's because in Japan, some believers who did not worship the emperor were "punished by heaven", and by the way, the puppet Manchukuo wanted to sacrifice Confucius to instill a servile education, so an old piece of paper was turned out and thought that the believers worshipping their ancestors and worshipping Confucius were not idolatrous - the paper was issued in 1258. The reason is also very simple, that year the Mongols captured Baghdad, trampled on the death of the Harifah, and there was a great tendency to capture Jerusalem, and the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of Tulei were Nestorian Christians, and the Pope exclaimed that the crusaders were from Mongolia, and in order to lick the Mongols, he had to make a metaphor, saying that custom worship was not idolatry contrary to dogma - of course there is this paper now, but it is impossible for the old men to turn it out at this time.

This war against Russia may be Dashun's best opportunity to reach out to the West in decades.

Once the war against Russia ends, the northwest is pacified, and religion is banned, the country is likely to turn conservative.

Although the official consciousness of Dashun at this time originated from Ye Shi and Chen Liang, and was fused by Wang Fuzhi and Huang Zongxi, no one dared to guarantee that they would take advantage of this ban on religion to fully retro and conservative. may not be as good as the stress response of a large paramecium under external stimuli, but bury your head in the dream of the heavenly kingdom.

As long as you don't open your eyes, the outside world doesn't exist.

If he can't take this opportunity to leave a door for the future, Liu Yu estimates that even if he climbs up in the future, it will be extremely difficult to open the door to see the world.

Now that he deliberately mentioned this matter, he had already asked Du Feng to give the emperor a preventive shot, and when he mentioned it again at this time, the emperor was really not so stunned.

Liu Yu took the opportunity to say: "You can also ask Qi Guogong to add one when negotiating with Rakshasa . When the king of Poland is served, the Rakshasa should support the father-in-law of the King of France to restore the Polish throne, so that the Rakshasas can be sure that the French kingdom will also contribute to this battle. ”

"The Polish throne has nothing to do with the dynasty. But the so-called negotiation is nothing more than asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot. If you want a price, ask the Rakshasa people to make a counteroffer. It is nothing more than dozens of uniforms and two flags, if even an inch of land can be exchanged back, it will also save the blood of soldiers and the Khan. If it is useless, His Majesty should only reward the soldiers to wear. ”

"Your Majesty, the banner is uniform, but the cloth is not enough. The cloth is gone, Songjiang cotton, Suzhou brocade, where can this cloth not be produced? But what about the land? Let's ask if today, who can produce even an inch of land? ”

"On the occasion of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the south of the Yangtze River is wild, and you don't know the fish and rice in the future? Before the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions did not know, but did they know the benefits of chiseling? Although this place is not barren, who dares to assert that it will not be ripe in the Northeast in the future? ”
