Chapter 558: Russia in Confusion

In July of the fifth year of the reform, Ning Yu met with the Mongol tribes in the southern part of the country, as well as the three envoys of the Khalkha Mongol tribe who ran away from the north of the Mobei, and immediately said that he would defeat the Dzungar Khanate and completely restore the peace and beauty of Mongolia in the identity of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

You must know that the envoys of the three Khalkha Mongol tribes are not born to cry, but they have to cry because of the current situation of the three Khalkha tribes - not long after Sun Jiagan returned to Beijing, Galdan Tsering launched an attack with a large army, resulting in the defeat of the Khalkha three coalition forces on the front line, and even Tushetu Khan was almost captured alive by Dace Lingdun Dobu!

This time it completely scared Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan, and the two calculated that if there was no external support, Tushetu Khan would become a history by the end of the year at the latest, and the Chechen Khan's original strength was relatively weak, I am afraid that at most it will hold on until next spring, which means that at that time, even if Ning Chu sends troops again, it will be meaningless.

Therefore, the three Khalkha tribes sent envoys for help, and this time the envoy put on a very humble attitude, saying that as long as Ning Chu sent troops, everything in the future would follow the old practice of Monan Mongolia and let Ning Chu's arrangements be made, of course, the premise is to keep the wealth of the three departments.

After getting such a good news, Ning Yu naturally would not let it go in vain, he first held a welcome ceremony in Beijing to express his attitude and sincerity as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and then decisively issued an edict to pro-conquer Mobei, which was regarded as further stabilizing the morale of the army.

Regarding the news that the emperor wants to personally conquer Mobei, the ministers still have some slanderous remarks, in their opinion, it is just to deal with the Dzungar Khanate, naturally there is a privy council to plan, and there are many generals to take command, why let the emperor go in person? Wouldn't it be a big deal if something went wrong?

Therefore, just when Ning Yu returned to the palace to rest and was about to eat a piece of watermelon, the privy envoy Ning Zhongyi ignored the criticism and came to advise in person.

"Your Majesty, the Dzungar Khanate is not such a strong enemy, why should Your Majesty take action personally, doesn't it seem that my Great Chu values this generation too much? As a privy envoy, the minister is willing to share His Majesty's worries. ”

Ning Yu looked at the watermelon in front of him, then looked at Uncle Wang with a solemn expression in front of him, and smiled at the moment: "Uncle Wang, it's hot weather, let's eat a watermelon first, this melon tastes very good, but I still like it a lot." ”

Ning Zhongyi naturally wouldn't think about eating watermelon at this time, but how could he refuse the emperor's invitation? At that moment, I could only pick up a piece and put it in my mouth, only to feel that it was extremely sweet and refreshing to eat, so I took another piece and began to eat it.

Ning Yu saw that Ning Zhongyi was eating sweetly, so he also picked up a piece, took a bite, and swallowed the watermelon before he smiled and said: "For me, the battle of the Northern Expedition is no less cool than this watermelon, if it is not placed in front of my eyes, it will be fine, you will eat it, but now that it is placed in front of me, how can it not be tasted?" ”

"Your Majesty, but the war is ...... dangerous," Ning Zhongyi wanted to refute again.

"Could it be that the privy envoy did not have the confidence to win this battle?" Ning Yu's face was as usual, but this sentence made Ning Zhongyi stagnate slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Say to win? The emperor naturally climbed up the pole; Say you can't win? Then he, the privy envoy, is afraid that he will step down immediately.

Ning Zhongyi was already not good at words, but at this moment, he became even more blushing and thick-necked, and he didn't know what to continue to say.

Seeing Ning Zhongyi's expression, Ning Yu didn't need to continue to embarrass him, but said softly: "Uncle Wang should be able to understand that this battle is extremely important, in addition to dealing with the three Khalkha departments, it is also necessary to deal with the Mongols behind. ”

What is Cooking Xiaoxian? If the weight is light, it is restless and harmful, and the quiet is all true.

For Ning Yu, after the Northern Expedition passed, the threat from the north did not become smaller, but the looming Russians became Ning Chu's biggest enemy at present. Ambiguous 43

Some people may ask? Why is it that Ning Chu's biggest enemy is Russia at the moment, and not those European countries in the South Seas?

The reason is very simple, the current Ningchu is a land power country, and Russia is also a natural land power country, the two sides have stronger resilience in the land struggle, once there is relaxation, it will be taken advantage of by the other party, just like the strange interpretation in history, with the decline of the Qing court, Russia gnawed a few big mouths on the Qing court.

Therefore, in Ning Yu's opinion, the enemy he needs to fight the most is the Russian Empire, and the best way is to dismember this giant, which is not particularly strong, so that it will never become a threat to Great Chu again, and there is a golden opportunity right now.

To put it simply, according to Ning Yu's understanding, just after the death of Peter the Great, the Russian Empire experienced a series of turmoil, intrigues almost infected the country, and the imperial family at the center of its storm suffered many twists and turns.

It has to be said that the succession of the Russian tsar was almost full of drama, as mentioned earlier, during the lifetime of Peter the Great, he had a child with his ex-wife Lopsina named Alexei, which basically determined the status of the crown prince at that time.

Unfortunately, under the influence of Lopsina and the conservative ministers around him, Alexei did not approve of Peter the Great's reforms, and was later suspected of rebellion by Peter the Great and thrown him into prison, and then the poor crown prince also died in prison very appropriately, leaving only a three-year-old child, that is, Peter the Great's grandson Pyotr Alekseevich.

According to the decree of the time, after the death of Alexei, the son of Peter the Great and his wife Catherine Catherine should inherit the throne, but this boy also died in infancy, causing his grandson to leap to the throne and become a possible heir to the throne.

But the problem is that the Russian version of Zhu Yunwen was not favored by his grandfather, but made Peter the Great worry that his grandson was too young and would be used by conservatives to attack his reforms, which would be something that the emperor would never tolerate, so he made a very decisive decision to change the traditional imperial succession decree, stipulating that the throne does not necessarily have to be passed on to male direct descendants.

The meaning is very simple, whoever Lao Tzu wants to be the emperor will be able to become the new tsar of the Russian Empire!

Unfortunately, Peter the Great died too quickly, and he did not have time to appoint his heir, but attracted the attention of countless careerists, all of whom were eyeing this empty tsar's throne, the most powerful of which was the marshal Menshikov who held the power of the monarch in the court.

Later things turned out to be logical, Menshikov staged a coup d'Γ©tat and put Peter the Great's empress, his old lover, on the throne of Tsar, of course, not necessarily for love reasons, but largely just wanted to overdo it and create opportunities for himself to be Tsar.

Then two years passed without a hitch, and now Catherine I was sick and hung up, so Menshikov once again began to make a riot, inventing an edict to pass the throne to Peter, who was only eleven years old, and at the same time exiled all his political enemies to Siberia. As a result, the Russian version of Zhu Yunwen officially became the emperor.

Although this is the world line of Ningyu's original world, I don't know if it's still like this, after all, the two sides are too far apart, and if you want to know the news of Europe, there will be a delay of at least three or four months, so even if there are changes now, Ningyu is not clear.

But in Ning Yu's own opinion, such a change should not occur, and even if it does, it doesn't matter, because not only Catherine I is a short-lived ghost, but now the new Tsar Peter II is also a short-lived ghost, and the key is a short-lived ghost who has no real real power.

To put it simply, Marshal Menshikov was too domineering, and after he supported Peter II to the throne, he became regent himself, proclaimed himself the commander-in-chief, and married his daughter Maria to Peter II, who was only eleven years old, and he himself oversaw the government and began to carry out crazy suppression of Peter the Great and the other children of Catherine I.

If the story goes on to this point, it can only be said that there is a Dong Zhuo-like character in Russia, but the problem is that this Russian version of Dong Zhuo is not strong enough, and he suddenly fell ill and lost his power - which shows how important it is to exercise.

In the years after Menshikov's illness, the whole of Russia fell into a kind of crazy confusion, and all kinds of purges and counter-purges continued until after the death of Peter II and the accession of Anna I, the rather ruthless empress finally completely suppressed the conservatives and stabilized the situation.

That is to say, in front of Ning Yu is a Russia that has fallen into the brink of civil strife, and this process will last at least three years or so, if this giant is hit hard at this time, it is likely to cause it to collapse, and this will be the biggest feast.
