In this era, the process of war is usually relatively slow, and there are not many times when it is said that it will be fought, and the two sides will fight each other and provoke each other until it can be regarded as fast as a few months.

After all, the main way to mobilize the army now is to walk, to transmit news is mainly to shout, and to raise some supplies and military rations is mainly to pick out the people's teeth...... To bring more than 100,000 people to the Samarkand Oasis is enough for Aurangzeb to have a headache and a pain in his flesh.

Of course, no matter how much it hurts, you can't back down!

If Persia and Rakshasa don't send troops, his old man will shrink, and those newly attached Heavenly Sects in the River will probably understand. But now that the mighty Persia and Rakshasa have sent troops, how can the dignified Timurid Empire retreat? If he runs away, he will be looked down upon by the Heavenly Sect in the River that he finally brought in.

So Aurangzeb can only stand up to the Samarkand oasis, and he will continue to throw a lot of money - a lot of money to invite the armies of the Hil Khanate, Persia and Turkmen tribes to Samarkand!

On the other side, the monastic kingdom of Dzungar is also busy - fortifying the walls, evacuating the old and weak, fortifying the city, stockpiling military resources, of course...... It is also necessary to seize the time to train the army that has been temporarily assembled. It is inevitable that the last squad army will neglect training, so before the war, you have to practice temporarily.

In short, there will be no troops for a while, at least not until the end of the summer.

The envoy sent by the Sangha, Bahabandi (the son of Chuhur Ubashi), took Princess Nisha's golden slippers, portraits and poetry collections, as well as urgent documents from the Junggar Kingdom, and traveled 9,000 miles in a month and a half to reach the heart of the Celestial Empire, the Laoshan Palace of Yingtianfu.

The urgent document of the vassal kingdom!

Of course, it couldn't be more urgent, after the Generalissimo's Mansion received the report from the Jungar Kingdom's Advance Academy, it didn't dare to slack off, and immediately moved to the Cabinet Office, asking the first assistant of the Cabinet, Wei Zaode, to enter the palace with Yan Yingyuan, the military advisor of the Generalissimo's Mansion.

When Wei Zaode and Yan Yingyuan entered the Laoshan Palace, Zhu Cihong, who was in charge of everything, was talking to Mary on the Laoshan horse. Mancini rode on horseback on two Andalusian horses that had just been brought from Spain – two gifts from Philip IV to the Ming Emperor for the signing of the Treaty of San Diego (Zhu Cihong also presented Philip IV with fine porcelain).

The Treaty of San Diego was not strictly a treaty between the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of Spain, but a treaty concluded between the United States of New Cyprus, the Kingdom of Gaqing and the Kingdom of New Spain. The conclusion of this treaty was undoubtedly a major victory for Zhu Cihong. The status of the United States of New Zealand and the Kingdom of Gaqing in North America was recognized by the Kingdom of New Spain,

Moreover, these two Ming vassal states also got the whole of California (including the Baja California Peninsula)!

In addition, the Kingdom of New Spain agreed to open Acapulco to the United States of New Continent and the Kingdom of Gachin on a limited basis - not more than 27 merchant ships of the United States of New Europe and the Kingdom of Gachin were allowed to enter the port of Acapulco each year, in exchange for the Gulf of America, the Gulf of Gold (San Francisco). Francisco) and the port of Gyeongfu (San Diego) will also be open to ships from the Kingdom of New Spain, but there is no limit to the number of ships allowed to enter the port each year (all three ports are already fully open).

Apparently, Philip IV had a premonition that his time was running out, and that he was aware of the ambitions of Louis XIV, King of France next door, so he had to agree to the Treaty of San Diego in order to concentrate the power of the Kingdom of Spain on Europe......

The treaty was actually signed last year, and two Andalusian horses had already been sent out of Spain. But before he arrived at Samba, he encountered a war between the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch East India Company. Therefore, the merchant ships of the Yiguan Merchant Company, which carried two Andalusian horses, anchored at Sambaguier until the Ming Dynasty signed an armistice with the Dutch East India Company.

Of course, the armistice was not the final peace treaty. The conditions proposed by Chu have been agreed to by the Governor of the East India Company, Matt Solko, but not by the Dutch Grand Council and the Amsterdam Board of Directors.

So now Matsolko and Wei Qingshan have left Batavia together and are on their way to the Netherlands.

Although the final peace treaty has not yet been signed, the war between the two sides has ended - only the Ming and the Dutch are not big, and the few stubborn princely feudal lords who followed Dutch imperialism and betrayed the interests of the working people of Southeast Asia still have to be eliminated or expelled...... So the war on the Malacca Peninsula and Sumatra continues.

It is worth mentioning that the war that took place on the Malacca Peninsula and Sumatra Island was not a "national war" in the true sense of the word, but a "private war" of Zhu Cihong.

Because the seized territory was to be allocated to Zhu Cihong's sons as principalities, and these principalities were the private property of Zhu Cihong's sons, not the property of the Ming court, so the expenses of the land war were all taken out by Emperor Zhu from the profits accumulated by the Royal Chamber of Commerce...... However, the war at sea is another matter, this is the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands fighting for the sea power in the South Seas, there is no doubt that it is a national war, of course, the court has to pay for it!

Zhu Cihong, the emperor, has done a very good job in distinguishing between public and private finances. However, the most precious thing for him, the emperor, is not money, but time!

Money can be divided between public and private, but time cannot be divided between public and private.

As soon as he used a one-percent stake in the Duchy and the East India Company to make Mancini, a little goblin, happy, Huang Dabao sent him a copy of the book that Wei Zaode and Yan Yingyuan had invited to meet.

"My dear," Zhu Cihong had no choice but to smile apologetically at Mancini, "You go to the Pang Family Garden first, and I'll look for you when I'm done." ”

Mancini pursed her lips, looking a little unhappy, but she still nodded reluctantly, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Cihong said to Huang Dabao, "Dabao, send Mary back." ”

After speaking, he rode the Andalusian horse under his crotch, took a few guards, and went straight to the Imperial Palace. When he arrived at the Imperial Palace, it was already a little dark. Wei Zaode and Yan Yingyuan, a dark and thin (tired like this), and a man yawning vigorously, saw the emperor walking briskly, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Wei Zaode and Yan Yingyuan bowed, and the Mongolian knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up, get up," Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "no need to kneel...... All sat down to talk. ”

Wei Zaode and Yan Yingyuan both sat generously, only the Mongol, the first person to stand in Bahaban, the envoy of the Junggar Kingdom, looked very restrained.

"What's going on?" Zhu Cihong did not beckon Bahabandi to take a seat, but asked.

"Your Majesty, someone has declared war on us!"

Yan Yingyuan startled Zhu Cihong with one mouth.

"A declaration of war? Who is it! Zhu Cihong asked.

Bahabandi interjected: "Your Majesty, it is Aurangzeb of the Timurid Empire who has declared war on us!"

He, he also had slippers brought to His Majesty! ”

"What? Slippers? Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment, his face immediately turned blue, he remembered that Aurangzeb elephants sent slippers - Daming and Tianzhu sometimes send envoys to each other, so he knows how arrogant this Tianzhu "Emperor" is!

"He's so bold!" Zhu Cihong was furious.

"Your Majesty," Yan Yingyuan on the side was holding a box, seeing Zhu Cihong angry, knowing that he had misunderstood, he hurriedly handed over the box, "The slippers are here, you can take a look at ......"

"See? You ......" Zhu Cihong glared at Yan Yingyuan, "A stinky slipper, take it out and throw it away!" ”

"It doesn't stink......" Yan Yingyuan said.

"Have you smelled it?" Zhu Cihong almost gave Qi Le.

"I haven't heard it, it's a ...... for you" As he spoke, Yan Yingyuan had already taken off the lid of the box with one hand, and then held the box with one hand and sent it to Zhu Cihong's eyes.

Emperor Zhu glanced at it and was stunned for a moment, "This is Aurangzeb's shoes?" How do they look like women's shoes? ”

"Your Majesty, this is Aurangzeb's daughter," Wei Zaode also stood up at this time, and unfolded the portrait of Princess Nissa with a smile, "The slippers and portraits given to you by the beautiful and wise Tianzhu No. 1 talented daughter, Princess Nisha, and a book of princess poems. ”
