Qing Kingdom, Isfahan City, Regent's Palace.

Dolgon personally repainted the territory of the Ming Dynasty on the map of the world in front of him, which was written down by Zihar several envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and then Dolgon ordered the craftsmen to make it.

After making the last stroke, completing the remarking of the Ming Territory, Dolgon's face was already gloomy as water.

I saw that on the map of this chapter, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is from south to north, if you count the ocean in the middle, the Ming Dynasty is 50,000 miles from north to south, and 20,000 miles from east to west! That's a lot of scale.

Although Dolgon is not unaware that most of them are sparsely populated barren places, but the same as the feeling of Zihar at the beginning, the visual impact on him is too great, making him feel full of pressure just by looking at it, this is less than ten years since the Qing Dynasty moved westward, and the Ming Dynasty has suddenly expanded to this point.

The territory is only one aspect, and the information on the current population and income of the Ming Dynasty brought back by Jihar is even more stressful.

That's the equivalent of 260 million taels of silver, and 230 million people!

The territory, population, and income of the Ming Dynasty are just more stressful, but the most deadly thing is that the Ming Dynasty does not know when the railway on the border of the Qing Dynasty has been built!

Although Dolgon has not seen the railway with his own eyes, from the mouth of Jihar and others, it can transport Jihar and others and their war horses from Nanjing City to the border of the Qing Dynasty within three days, doesn't this show that the Ming Dynasty can transport a large number of troops from Nanjing City to the border of the Qing Dynasty within three days?

This point is not just as simple as doubling the pressure, but also shocking and frightening!

If the Ming Dynasty really started a full-scale war against the Qing Dynasty one day and was determined to destroy the Qing Dynasty, would the Qing Dynasty be able to stop the Ming Dynasty, which could calmly dispatch heavy troops and a large amount of grain and grass materials from the Central Plains?

Originally, although the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty bordered, but the Ming Dynasty's strength was mainly in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains were separated from the Qing Dynasty by the vast Gobi steppe and desert after all, and it was not easy for the Ming Dynasty to mobilize enough troops and transport enough supplies, which was the reason why the Ming Dynasty might not attack the Qing Dynasty with all its might, and it was also the only reason why he could feel at ease.

But today, all the reasons are gone!

As long as the Ming Dynasty wants to fight the Qing Dynasty, with the so-called railways and trains, there is no need to be limited by the long distance and the inability to transfer troops and transport grain and grass materials!

"Smack!" Dolgon's anger slapped the inkstone on the side.

"Nope! The Qing Dynasty cannot be extinguished! I won't allow it, I won't allow it! Dorgon roared with a hideous look on his face.

Although thinking of Daming's current national strength also made him feel desperate and powerless, he was unwilling! Unwilling!

Dolgon almost fell into madness, thinking that he Dolgon called himself a king, once ruled the Central Plains, occupied half of the Han people, and almost dominated the Central Plains, but in just a few years, he was completely defeated by Zhu Cijiao.

Did the will of his father Khan, and the ambition of his Dolgon, just give up?

Even if he was willing to give up, he didn't believe that the Ming Dynasty would really stop attacking the Qing Dynasty and would let the Qing Dynasty continue to exist. He absolutely didn't believe it, nothing else, Da Ming didn't know when to build the railway to the border of the Qing Dynasty is the best proof!

Dolgon didn't know how long Zhu Ci would let the Great Qing Dynasty stretch, but he was sure that the Great Ming must have the heart to destroy the Great Qing Dynasty!

"Regent, now that Da Ming is getting stronger and stronger, and he must have the heart to destroy my Da Qing, even if we fight to the death, we will not let Da Ming succeed!" Ao Bai spoke.

At this time, even the always arrogant Ao Bai felt extremely powerless, and no longer defeated the Ming Dynasty with his mouth closed as usual, destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and restored the Qing Dynasty. Now no matter how arrogant Ao Bai is, he knows that it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming Dynasty at present, and the only thing he can think about is how to keep the Qing Dynasty immortal under the iron horse of the Ming Dynasty and wait for the opportunity in the future.

"Yes, Regent, we will fight to the death to protect the Qing Dynasty!" Jihar and other generals of the Eight Banners who were present also said.

Although they are afraid of the current strength of Daming, didn't they survive after fighting Daming for decades? They don't think that once the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, their people will have good fruits to eat, and it is possible for the clan to be wiped out in the world, so no matter how strong the Ming is, they will have to keep the Qing Dynasty no matter what.

"Yes, even if this king fights to the death, he will definitely keep the Qing Dynasty immortal!" Dorgon gritted his teeth.

"At present, it is not known when the Ming Dynasty will attack the Qing Dynasty, and doing everything possible to improve the strength of the Qing Dynasty is the most important thing. The Qing Dynasty has been silent for another half a year, and the losses from last year's battle with the Ottoman Empire and the Cossack cavalry have gradually replenished, and it is time for the Qing Dynasty to expand its territory again! Dorgon said with a slight squint of his eyes.

The Manchurian population is now more than 800,000, and every year more than 13,000 Manchu men reach adulthood, making up for the losses of the Manchurian Eight Banners campaign.

In last year's battle with the Ottoman Empire and the Cossacks, a total of 10,000 casualties were lost in the Eight Banners, and the servant cavalry, the Persian banner, etc., all of which will be replenished in the new year.

After the replenishment, the number of Manchu Eight Banners not only recovered its original number, but also increased by more than 3,000, reaching more than 83,000 iron cavalry.

In terms of servant cavalry, the population of the three steppes such as Burha is about twice that of the Manchurians, and the number of replenishments is naturally more, plus there are still many adult herdsmen who have not been recruited, and all of them have been recruited this year, and the servant cavalry has also recovered to 70,000.

In terms of the Persian flag, there were originally more than 10 million Persians, and after conquering Baghdad and other areas of the two river valleys, they gained another 3 million people. The young men selected from these populations were also included in the Persian banner. Counting the remaining tens of thousands of people, the Persian banner was directly expanded to 150,000 people.

The flint rifle team of the Dragon Breaking Army is mostly composed of Manchurian elders over the age of forty-five and some Manchu men under the age of fifteen, including some women selected by the two white flags.

This is an extremely special army, the first time that the Manchurian people have let the Manchurian women participate in the team, and the combat effectiveness is not weaker than the same number of Manchu Eight Banners, or even stronger than the same number of Manchu Eight Banners.

At the beginning, in order to attract the attention of the Ottoman army, he resisted the attack of 200,000 Ottoman troops alone, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, and less than 10,000 remained.

The Manchurian wars for many years, and there are not many Manchu men who can live to be over forty-five years old, which leads to the fact that if the Dragon Breaker Army flintlock team wants to restore the size of 20,000 people, it must absorb more Manchu underage men and adult women to join.

Dolgon did not hesitate too much, and also persuaded other Manchu nobles to completely give up discrimination against women, and expand the Dragon Breaker's recruitment of Manchu women, after all, the pressure of the Ming Dynasty was too great, and the reason why they discriminated against women at the beginning was only because they were weak and could not fight with the enemy on the battlefield with a knife, but if they held a flint, it was different, and they could kill the enemy without relying on strength alone.

With the unanimous acquiescence of the Manchu nobles, the Qing Army's Dragon Breaker Army expanded the conscription of Manchu women, and at least 6,000 Manchu women were recruited into the Dragon Breaking Army, counting other 45-year-old Manchu men and Manchu teenagers under the age of 15, the Qing Army's Dragon Breaker Army flint team has finally recovered to the size of 20,000 people.

Combined, the number of several armies was combined, and Dolgon once again had an army of more than 300,000 men.

"Target Mughal Empire!" Dolgon's murderous announcement of the goal of this expedition was made.

"Obey the Regent's orders!" The Eight Banner generals present shouted loudly.
