The door to the dormitories opened, in the dim light. At the age of 43, Duoduo did not lie on the bed, but sat on a circle chair, wearing a large face, and his skinny face still looked majestic and inoffensive, and the bearing of the king outside the gate had not been weakened by illness.

If you want to ask who is the most feared person by the lord of the Ming Dynasty in the Laoshan Palace? There is no doubt that it is the terminally ill Duoduo in front of him!

Although Duoduo lost the battle to enter the customs, he retained his strength. His Guanwai Kingdom still has a population of two or three million, and it can still pull out fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers at any time. If you add the men and horses of the Horqin Mongols and the Zhaowuda Mongols who are attached to Duoduo, plus the elite soldiers of the Korean Kingdom, you may be able to pull out more than 100,000 troops!

In addition to the large number of troops, Duoduo also had two important "Pacific trading ports" on its territory, Vladivostok Port and Busan Port Pugang, as well as valuable furs and pearls.

The furs and pearls produced between the white mountains and black waters were transported to New Spain through the Pacific route, and then transshipped from New Spain to Europe, where they could exchange the original muskets, cannons and gunpowder produced on the European continent for the army of Duoduo! You can also bring in Spanish and German military advisers for Dord!

Therefore, the equipment, tactics and training level of Duoduo's army are even better than those of the Qing Dynasty soldiers in the same period in history!

If the Qing soldiers in history met the current Guanwai Army, there was no doubt that they would be hung up and beaten violently!

Of course, Duoduo's Guanwai Legion still did not have the strength to fight head-on with Zhu Cihong's new army of the Ming army - the new army of the Ming army had developed to the stage of transition from arquebuses to flintlock pistols (because the current musket is still a manual job, so the output cannot be compared with the industrial era, so the transition period to the flintlock pistol will be longer), and it also has the only wooden tray flowering bullet in the world!

However, the army in Duoduo's hands with relatively strong combat effectiveness and his other trump card can make the emperor of Nanjing feel a great headache.

This trump card is Guanwai and its vast territory!

No one can force Dordor to sign an unequal treaty ceding the Outer Northeast! With the new army at hand of Duoduo, which has absorbed the advanced military technology of Spain and Germany, not to mention that the Rakshasa country cannot win the Cossack battle in Siberia, even if it mobilizes 20,000 or 30,000 "Santa Claus soldiers" from Moscow, it will also be sent to death.

Therefore, the area outside the border at the hands of Duoduo includes the outer northeast and Sakhalin Island, with a total area of 2,450,000 square kilometers!

Moreover, because of the existence of the Heilongjiang Naval Division and the Pacific Naval Division, Duoduo's mastery of these 2.45 million square kilometers was still very real - the troops stationed in the Xingkai Lake Plain could be transferred to the Heilongjiang front line quickly and in large quantities through the Ussuri River or the Pacific Waterway (Tatar Sea).

Similarly, the troops of Heilongjiang, including the Mongol army of Horqin who retreated to the Hulunbuir steppe, could also use the Heilongjiang-Ussuri River water transport to quickly move to the Xingkaihu Plain or Vladivostok.

And the Guanwai Army, which is based on the Xingkai Lake Plain, also has enough room for strategic detours. It is easy to deal with the crusade of the Ming court with a protracted war.

Plus, it's the Xiaoice River season! As soon as winter began outside the pass, it was freezing and snowy, and it was as cold as anything, and the Ming army from the south could not adapt to it at all.

Therefore, as long as Duoduo's Guanwai army held the foundation of the Xingkaihu Plain and then relied on the support of Heilongjiang, how could the war be dragged out until winter......

It is precisely because Duoduo is not easy to deal with, so after defeating the Qing Dynasty in the pass, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue outside the pass, but stopped in front of the Shanhaiguan. Even when Duoduo entered Korea, he chose to settle the matter and recognized Korea's substitution of Kim for Lee.

Zhu Cihong's "appeasement" was of course not because he was afraid of Duoduo, but because he needed time to digest the fruits of the victory in the battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty. Large swaths of land in Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, and western Shandong provinces need time to be sorted out and distributed, the Yellow River dam, which has fallen into disrepair, needs to be cleaned up, the depressed commercial city needs to be restored, the castle in Beijing needs to be repaired, and the four towns of Daning, Beiping, Anbei, and Shuofang need time to be taken care of, and two Mongol vassal states need to be established in Mobei...... A lot of troubles, all of which have to be thrown out with real money!

And in order to enter the New World, he went to Spain, and also joined the French and British gangs, and went to bite Philip IV, who thought he was the king of the earth.

So you have to put Duoduo aside...... If Emperor Zhu could choose Duoduo's lifespan, he would really want Duoduo to live for another ten or eight years. Because Duoduo did not die, there was no question of inheritance and division of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate—the Imperial Protectorate was an internal feudal town, not an external feudal state. According to the law of the internal subordinates of the Ming Dynasty, unless the favor of the Ming Dynasty is obtained, the lord of the internal feudal town cannot be long-term and hereditary.

And Zhu Cihong never agreed to the hereditary leadership of the Anton Domain, but Enzhun Duoduo served as Anton for a long time - the area of the Anton Domain is more than 2.5 million square kilometers! It also occupies the fertile Northeast and the Outer Northeast, how could Zhu Cihong allow the Andong Domain to be hereditary like the Anxi Domain?

Duoduo can't be compared with Wu Sangui! Wu Sangui is the second brother of Wu Sanmei, the Wu family is the first relative of the Ming Dynasty, or the leader of the Liao family of the new army, who is Duoduo? He is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, having Wu Sangui hereditary Anxi was beneficial to the stability and unification of the Ming Dynasty - Anxi was still so poor and close to Central Asia, which was ruled by the Tianfang Sect. The rule of the Wu family generals in Anxi was extremely dependent on the central dynasty, and there was no possibility of independence at all......

Andong Town is different, 2.5 million square kilometers of fertile soil, if several generations are placed outside the central power, it would be strange not to make independence - now among the ten big feudal towns in the Ming Dynasty, Andong, Beiting, Anxi, Hexi, Anbei, Shuofang, Beiping, Daning, Jinou, Jinghai, the most likely to be independent is Andong Town, followed by Beiting Town, and the other eight towns can't actually make trouble.

The Ming Dynasty itself had the intention of splitting Beiting Town into the Zhugger Khanate and Beiting Domain, but there was no room for concessions to Andong Town.

Therefore, Duoduo is alive, Zhu Cihong is just jealous and vigilant, and as soon as Duoduo dies, Emperor Zhu will have to face a rebellion in the feudal town that gives him a headache!

"Doni, Aobai, you all sit!"

Doni and Ao Bai went into Doddor's dormitory together, and just now Ao Bai asked Dodor to say goodbye, and Dodo asked him to wait outside for Downy, and when Doni returned, they would come together to see him - because Dodor was very poor now, and he had to take care of himself.

Seeing that Doni and Ao Bai had finished their salutes and sat down respectfully on the embroidery pier, Duoduo sighed lightly and said, "It's all providential...... I thought I could shield you from the wind and rain, but I didn't expect the sky to accept me! ”

"Lord ......"

"Ama ......"

With a wave of his hand, Duoduo stopped the two of them from talking meatily, and then continued, "I've figured it out these days...... God not only wants to accept me Duoduo, but also is looking for trouble with Zhu Cihong!

Because I don't die, the status quo of the Andong Protectorate can be maintained! This is also the situation that the surname Zhu wants to see the most. I don't die, whether I fight or not, it's in the hands of the surname Zhu.

And as soon as I die, the initiative to fight or not to fight will be in your hands! Zhu Cihong could not tolerate the hereditary inheritance of Andong Town...... Dhoni, you're only twenty-one years old this year, and once you attack Daduhu, it will be a long time! How could Zhu Cihong tolerate Guan Wai in our family for another few decades? So he will definitely attack the issue of Andong Town's inheritance!

If you're not convinced, it's a rebellion! I look at the current Ming Dynasty, and what I am most afraid of may be the rebellion of the feudal town! Ten feudal towns! If one is uneven, the remaining nine will all move their minds to divide themselves...... If he blindly appeases it, the future Daming will be the Tang Dynasty! And now he is at war with Spain, and he is at war with Mongolia, and he wants to interfere in the chaos in Japan, and Siam has to go to the rescue, so he is very busy! Do you know what to do? ”
