Chapter 250: The Battle of National Fortunes
The big Belle Daishan, who had been sitting in the carriage and had not spoken, suddenly said: "Mr. Fan's words are a bit evasive, of course the army of the Ming Dynasty can't beat the children of the Eight Banners, but this has nothing to do with the expedition to Central Siberia." ”
Fan Wencheng knew that Da Beile Daishan would have questions, and said a word again, but it made Da Beile Daishan and Ezhe even more incomprehensible in their hearts.
"It's a battle of national fortunes."
The battle of national fortunes?
If you think this is the rich Jiangnan, you can make the Ming Dynasty fall if you conquer here, and the Jurchens can build a powerful empire.
Fan Wencheng knew that Da Beile Daishan and Ezhe couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, not only the two of them, but only a few people in the world who could have such a strategic vision.
Fan Wencheng could only explain the real national policy of this expedition to Siberia in the most plain language: "The Great Khan is preparing to be emperor, and both of them must know about it. ”
"After the founding of the Jurchens, there will be five provinces."
"In Beihaier Province, the land is paste, and after planting a large number of potatoes, it is the Qing Empire's plugging into the south of the Yangtze River."
"The granary of the empire."
"Mongolia Province has a strong people, with millions of Mongolian people, and every Mongolian citizen grew up on horseback and was brave and good at fighting."
"Imperial Arsenal."
"The province of Eastern Siberia has a vast territory with a large number of iron, copper, gold and silver mines."
"Imperial Mine."
"The territory of the Central Siberian Province is also vast, mostly high terraces and forests, with the richest fur and timber in the West and the Far East."
"Imperial Cash."
Fan Wencheng said very plainly, for this national policy that is enough to create a strong empire, I don't know how much it has paid, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent.
In order to survey inaccessible Eastern Siberia, the number of dead Xiongkuru was almost 500.
Da Beile Daishan and Ezhe listened to this bland language, but their mood couldn't be calm, with these four warehouses, the establishment of the country and the emperor is just around the corner.
Fan Wencheng's national strategy is far more than these, and the national fortune he wants to fight for is to completely overwhelm the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty: "The most prosperous trade route between the Far East and the West should be the Silk Road." ”
"But a powerful Ottoman Empire arose along the Silk Road, monopolized commerce between the East and the West, earned unimaginable profits, and is now at its most powerful peak."
"England and Francois went to sea in the hope of finding a trade route to the Far East from the sea, but the English did not put their eggs in one basket."
"Bypassing the Ottoman Empire, it became a Moscow company in Moscow in Tsarist Russia, hoping to find a trade route from the north to the east."
Fan Wencheng suddenly closed his eyes and said lightly: "As long as Central Siberia is captured, the trade routes between the West and the Far East will be opened." ”
"Another Silk Road has been built."
Fan Wencheng's words were an understatement, and they fell into the ears of Da Beile Daishan and Ezhe, but they were speechless for a long time.
has planned the four major national policies, and Fan Wencheng's status in the hearts of the two has risen to the height of Xun Yu in "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Now it seems that Fan Wencheng is the Jurchen Zhuge Liang!
Huang Taiji's face that was always the same as usual, also had a little more smile, as long as he completed the national policy formulated by Fan Wencheng, he Huang Taiji could be comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu.
The national focus is there, but it is not a simple thing to accomplish.
Tsarist Russia was also a very powerful country in Europa, especially the Cossack cavalry almost swept Europa, and its status was equivalent to the Eight Banners that swept across the Far East.
The Cossack cavalry also had a part of Tatar blood, and Ezhe had a deep understanding of these powerful cavalrymen who occupied Sipor: "The Cossack cavalry has occupied Central Siberia for many years, and is much more familiar with the mountains and landscapes here than we are. ”
"If you want to eat Central Siberia, you must pay a big price."
Fan Wencheng understood what Ezhe meant, but his vision was only limited to military affairs.
Military is only a means to accomplish political ends, but it is not the only way.
Fan Wencheng continued to say lightly: "The Cossack cavalry is nothing more than a group of poor people who do not want to become serfs, they are very short of money, and they lack status. ”
"As long as the Great Khan gives them enough silver and status, the difficult Cossack cavalry will become a Cossack Eight Banners, and the sharpest long knife of the Great Khan sweeping the Ming Dynasty."
The Ming Dynasty was miserable enough in the face of the most powerful Eight Banners soldiers in the Far East, and under the planning of Fan Wencheng, the most powerful Cossack cavalry in Europa was deceived.
Ezhe couldn't help but mourn for Chongzhen in his heart.
Ezhe also realized the terrible thing about having a national warrior, the battle of national fortune that would have taken a lot of money to complete, under Fan Wencheng's plan, not only did not reduce his strength, but greatly enhanced his strength.
No wonder in "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei also asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain.
If he changes his Ezhe, he won't see Zhuge Liang for the first time, and he will be directly stabbed.
Fan Wencheng said these lightly, which was enough to make the juniors turn over and over the national policy of continuous study, and his eyes turned to Ezhe: "But before this, I have to ask Eyu to select 800 warriors to defeat a Cossack cavalry head-on." ”
"Let these barbarians see the strength of the Jurchens, otherwise, the silver will only attract a group of unfamiliar wolves."
When Ezhe heard these words, he was inexplicably a little ashamed, he had been Fan Wencheng just now, but he didn't expect Fan Wencheng to give him the first credit.
Fan Wencheng hugged Ezhe, who was about to salute: "If I remember correctly, Efu likes the Romance of the Three Kingdoms rewarded by the Great Khan very much, and he should remember the story of the seven captures of Meng Shu." ”
Speaking of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ezhe was very interested: "Of course I remember, Zhuge Liang in it is as wise as Mr. Fan......."
Before he finished speaking, Fan Wencheng interrupted him: "Elu is fortunate to have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the Cossack cavalry should not have that honor." ”
"Eight hundred pairs of rattan armor are prepared for the forehead on the baggage cart, and when the forehead leaves, the warriors can wear the rattan armor."
This time, no matter how much Fan Wencheng stopped him, Ezhe still treated him with the etiquette of treating distinguished guests on the grassland.
At this time, a third-class guard rode a Liaodong horse to the carriage and reported: "Great Khan, there is a barbarian camp thirty miles ahead. ”
With a laugh, he lifted the heavy curtain and walked out, ready to give the rakshasas a taste of the sharpness of the steppe scimitars.
Big Belle asked coldly: "It should be more secure to choose a Eight Banners disciple." ”
Fan Wencheng smiled: "Two words." ”
"The human heart."
"The fear that Genghis Khan left behind for the Rakshasa barbarians has been engraved into his bones, and this time he is using Genghis Khan's residual power to tell these Rakshasa barbarians."
"The Yellow Peril, here it is again."
