Chapter 479: The Sixth Year of Yan Huang (1652)
The magazine is full of interesting facts about various places, and it is accompanied by prints, and in order to keep it attractive, it also depicts some lace love stories.
In just half an hour, all 2,000 copies of the first issue of the magazine were sold out. Let the people who queue up behind and come one after another can only leave disappointed.
Even if a few thousand people are not ordinary people, they don't dare to complain more.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Xiao Zhaoren breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that these people were just giving the royal family a face, and how the three-day magazine would develop in the future depended on the content inside.
At a time when the empire was stable and developing and building, the war in this world did not stop.
The Manchu Empire in North America also became more and more powerful, and the Tartars burned and looted all the way until they reached the middle of the Rocky Mountains before gradually stopping.
The Manchus, who now had 200,000 troops and more than 1 million slaves, also began to establish a new Shengjing city in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.
"Zhuqing's family, although no one can resist our strength in the wilderness, but after all, I am full of sparse people! 20,000 children of the Eight Banners controlling 200,000 troops is already the limit. "Xiaozhuang's vision is still a mirror, and she is not paralyzed by false strength.
Today's Manchu Qing Dynasty is headed by Xiaozhuang, the Manchus are represented by Prince Mingzhen, and the traitor forces are represented by Li Hongshangshu, a son of the Li family.
Now the power of traitors is getting stronger and stronger, and even the Tartars no longer dare to lightly touch the united traitor forces. However, all the Han and Manchu Eight Banners have the same enemies and common interests, so their relationship is still solid.
In the face of the pressure of the empire, the Manchu and Han Eight Banners naturally did not inward, there were countless indigenous barbarians to enslave them, and there were countless fertile fields waiting for them to develop, and the interests of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners were all the same.
Although the new Qing Dynasty is not as large as before, its territory is comparable to that of Liaodong in the past.
"What the Queen Mother said is very true, now that I have a thousand miles of land in the Qing Dynasty, I should rectify it for the time being." For the current situation, in fact, Ming Zhen is already very satisfied! If it weren't for the fact that they still had a feared enemy, the Manchus would not have been so anxious to expand their power.
After the prince finished speaking, Li Hongshangshu also said: "Queen Mother, it is necessary to build Guancheng in various places, and at the same time, we must also educate these foreign people!" ”
"Exactly! It's a pity that there are still too few craftsmen! Xiaozhuang suddenly sighed! All fortifications and weapons were built by Han Chinese craftsmen, and now the Manchu had the manpower available, and even teenage apprentices began to lead their own teams in command of ignorant indigenous slaves.
Of course, Li Hong hopes that there will be more craftsmen, but they are not what they used to be!
"Queen Mother, you must not appear near the coast again in the future, the Han people's sea ships have passed by before! However, they were unable to spot our large forces. ”
Han people are really pervasive! Xiaozhuang smiled bitterly and nodded: "General Mingzhen, in the future, everyone is strictly ordered not to go to the west coast, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”
"No." Mingzhen also knows the urgency of this matter. When they don't have an army of a million and an army of 100,000 firearms, they must not let the empire find out.
After that, large-scale killing and looting had ceased for the time being, but the Manchu Qing had not stopped fighting on a small scale.
And in the southern part of North America, Western European colonizers are also investing more.
Due to the emergence of the Yanhuang Empire, Western Europeans even intended to abandon their colonies in Indo. Even if the vast expanse of the Orian land had been discovered, the colonists of Western Europe did not dare to get close to the Imperial Navy.
Western Europeans, who were interested in abandoning the East, also focused on the American continent and the African land.
The Anglo-Dutch War, which should have broken out in history, also made the Dutch much more honest because of the actions of the empire. The Dutch are honest, and now it's not a brother's sun that doesn't set and doesn't have the heart to provoke.
In the face of the empire's giant ships and cannons, Western European countries, the Ottomans and the northern ** countries began to vigorously develop artillery and steam engines.
Due to the butterfly effect of the Yanhuang Empire, today's Western European countries have also begun to explore the door of the first industrial revolution in advance.
The continental friction and wars in Europe that had reached a common defense against the Yellow Peril also stopped for the time being, but the colonial wars in the Americas and Africa became more and more intense.
Colonial wars are all petty fights, and the real war clouds belong to the Black Sea region on the border between Asia and Europe.
"King Meng, Beimao has successively strengthened the troops in the north, I'm afraid that as soon as the snow melts, they will increase their troops in a big way."
The greedy Maozi did not dare to touch the Western European powers, nor did they want to touch the old Ottoman Empire, and they did not dare to approach the borders of the Yanhuang Empire. Even if he hasn't fought before, Beimaozi knows the strength of the empire.
Afraid of the Yanhuang Empire, but the Maozi are not afraid of the new Simon Kingdom.
The early start of the North Mauritius was also due to the support of Western European countries. In order to weaken the vassal states of the Yellow Empire, Western European countries provided a large number of weapons to the northern ** countries one by one.
Geldan frowned and nodded: "The cavalry is the strongest in our Simon, but Maozi's tens of thousands of firearms army can be extremely difficult to deal with!" ”
After returning to the vassal empire, the Simon Kingdom also armed tens of thousands of ordinary heavy cavalry, and also purchased 100,000 cavalry crossbows. The rest of the armor, steel knives and other weapons are redressed in large quantities. Carrying the heritage of the steppes and the acquisition of occupying the steppes of Central Asia also made the kingdom of Simon an upstart.
The general Ramatai also frowned and said: "Tens of thousands of firearms army at least 200,000 cavalry can be defeated!" This is also the reason why Maozi's firearms are weaker than those of the Empire. ”
At present, the yellow explosives in Western Europe are still being studied, and the black powder used by Maozi is still granular.
The new Prime Minister, Prince Suller, hurriedly shook his head: "It is impossible for my Simon Kingdom to lose 200,000 horses!" Otherwise, the Ottoman and Persian Empires will probably move troops too! If the vassal is in trouble, it is time to ask the empire for help. ”
"But the empire is already reducing its troops, and the empire will try not to fight for ten years!" Gerdan didn't hold out much hope.
Tholler nodded: "If the empire personally sends troops, we Simon will be very passive!" However, we can ask the empire to buy Chongzhen-style firearms, and now that Western firearms are flourishing, presumably the empire will not refuse! ”
Geldan thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible, even if there are not many of them, but you have to let the empire send instructors!" ”
"Good! I'll send a flying letter to the Sangha immediately! Tholl stood up as he spoke.
When it comes to Sangha Geldan, I'm very depressed, I can't hide from this guy anywhere! Now as a feudal official of the Simon Kingdom, in addition to patrolling the loyalty of the Simon Kingdom, he is also responsible for Simon's contact with the Empire.
The monk would come to Simon for three months a year to inspect him, and of course he was still spending the winter in his old home in Dzungaria.
The cool breeze in the cold winter is like a knife, but the flying eagles in the sky still insist on going to work.
A day later, the letters were also delivered to the monks, and the attachments were also being sent to the Western Governor's Mansion.
If the monk does not respond, the commander of the Western Governor's Mansion will continue to report.
After receiving the letter, the monk immediately forwarded it to the empire, and he also wrote his opinion in two. One was sent to the military headquarters and one to the Western Governor's Mansion.
