In July 1649, He Renlong sent a telegram to Gao Junshan, informing him that they had completed their mission of controlling the waters of Okhotsk and the western shore of the Bering Strait.

In order to control these areas, Gao Junshan also made a bloody investment, he mobilized three army corps and a fleet of nearly 80,000 troops, and after three years of hard work, he finally controlled these areas in his hands.

The reason why so much effort was spent was not because of how powerful the enemy was here, but because these places were sparsely populated, the territory was wide, and the climate was cold.

Why go and occupy a place where these birds don't?

These places are the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom in later generations, and only Gao Junshan knows how much effect it will have on the improvement of national strength in the future if they occupy these territories.

Gao Junshan also commended the He Renlong Legion, the Ma Yuanli Legion, the Li Dingguo Legion and the Fifth Fleet of the Navy.

He transferred back the He Renlong Legion and the Ma Yuanli Legion and let them rest in Henan. The management of the Jurchens also achieved the desired purpose, so Gao Junshan revoked the supervision of the Jurchen tribes and gave them full freedom to travel freely in the western Xinjiang.

Gao Junshan prepared two sets of mansions in the capital and invited He Renlong and Ma Yuanli to move to the capital to live.

He summoned his two generals in the Imperial Study of the Hall of Transmission.

"The last general will meet Your Majesty!" The two generals were very respectful when they saw Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan said: "I asked you to come to my imperial study, just to treat you as my own family, so you don't have to be formal, you can relax in my imperial study." ”

These two generals are not descendants of Gao Junshan, so unlike the Red Army Friends, Li Busi and Liu Fang's Liang, they have anything to say casually, and these two are in awe of Gao Junshan.

He Renlong, a native of Beicaidi, Mizhi County, Shaanxi, was a Wujinshi during the Wanli period, and was initially subordinate to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui Town, as a garrison officer. During the Chongzhen period, he participated in the suppression of the rebels, fought bravely, and was called "He Crazy", and later surrendered to Gaojun Mountain with Cao Wenzhao because of the trouble.

Ma Yuanli was Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate general and fought bravely. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, Gao Junshan took over all of Zhang Xianzhong's belongings, including his generals. Ma Yuanli was the only general of Zhang Xianzhong's department who was promoted to the top ten generals under Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan looked at the two of them with serious faces, and said jokingly: "You have been in the cold and freezing Western Xinjiang for two years, are you so frozen that you can't speak?" ”

He Renlong smiled and said, "How can it!" My Lao He is still iron! ”

Gao Junshan said: "This is the right one!" Only a general cast of steel can bring out an iron-clad soldier. I said that Lao He and Lao Ma are the generals of steel. ”

Then, Gao Junshan praised He Renlong and Ma Yuanli, especially Ma Yuanli, who had always been responsible for supervising the Jurchen tribe, and now he could finally come down easily, and Gao Junshan let them rest in the capital to meet the more arduous tasks.

……

The war in Persia continued for another month, and it was not until late August that the campaign ended.

Cao Wenzhao led the combined forces of the two countries to fight all the way to the city of Baghdad, annihilating more than 10,000 Ottoman Janissaries along the way, and the defeated 30,000 Ottoman troops retreated in Baghdad and resisted stubbornly.

Since Gao Junshan did not want to get involved in the territorial disputes between Arab countries, as long as he kept the Persian Kingdom from being violated and Abbasid II from being overthrown, he ordered Cao Wenzhao to withdraw from the suburbs of Baghdad.

The Ottoman Empire, having been battered by the Chinese army, withdrew from Persian territory again and returned to their original borders.

Although the two sides did not sit down to negotiate any agreement, from the analysis of the current situation, it was no longer possible for the Ottoman Empire to organize a new war of aggression against Persia, so Gao Junshan ordered all the troops of the Huaxia State to withdraw from Persia.

Gao Junshan did this because he wanted to carry out a major reorganization of the army of Huaxia Kingdom to deal with future wars, and all the troops needed a truce and recuperation.

……

Abbasid II of Persia ascended the throne on 15 May 1642, and because of his youth, power was placed in the hands of his prime minister, who was assassinated on 11 October 1645 and became enemies on all sides for fighting corruption.

Abbasid II appointed the Sultan of Burj Khalifa as the new prime minister, and appointed the Shair to preside over the military, which struck the second invasion of the Ottoman Empire and stabilized his power in the midst of the storm.

But Abbasid II was young after all, and Gao Junshan was worried that his regime would be overthrown by careerists, in view of the experience of history, Gao Junshan sent a report to Shair that he must control the army in his hands, and that there are dissident forces in the army, and he must resolutely eradicate them, and the officers who have made outstanding military achievements in this war against the Ottoman Empire must be strictly guarded, even if there is bloodshed, they must not hesitate to protect the young king.

……

Cao Wenzhao's army was all withdrawn to Yuzi Province in Huaxia to rest.

Yuz Province is a Kazakh minority region, and there are two corps stationed in the Kazakh Army and the Han and Mongolian Army, which are under the command of the supreme military commander of Yuz Province, Uliji, and belong to the local army.

Wuliji received instructions from Gao Junshan, asking Yuci Province to do a good job in supporting the logistics of Cao Wenzhao's corps, and Cao Wenzhao's corps should stay in Yuci Province for the winter.

……

The capital in September.

Dongdan archway is a bustling street, with many shops and pedestrians.

One of the tea houses, the car in front of the door said Ma Long, a big signboard, "Ruyun Tea House" hung on the gate of the street, and a curtain was hung in front of the door.

On this day, there were two people dressed as merchants, one of whom walked in front and opened the curtain, and the two entered the Ruyun Tea House together.

"Your guest has arrived!"

The shopkeeper also saw that the two of them were not small, so he loudly spread the word inside.

There are not many customers in the tea house, they are all concentrating on picking up the tea leaves, and no one will pay attention to who comes in to buy the tea.

Like other merchants who came in to buy tea, they chose the quality of the tea from among the various teas.

The shopkeeper heard the news of the shopkeeper, held a hookah in his hand, and walked out slowly.

"This distinguished guest, do you have any good tea?" The shopkeeper said to the one who seemed to be the master at first glance.

This master-like person is Gao Junshan, he glanced around, and asked the shopkeeper: "Do you have a high-grade Longjing?" ”

The shopkeeper spat out a puff of smoke rings and said, "If you want to have goods in the spring next year, if this guest officer really needs it, you can leave the address, and we will deliver it to your door." ”

Accompanying Gao Junshan was Sun Kewang, who put on a posture and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Don't you take our master in to negotiate the price? ”

"Please! Please! Please! ”

The shopkeeper said three "pleases" in a row, and he led the way in front and brought Gao Junshan and Sun Kewang into the room.

When he got to the inner room, Gao Junshan asked, "Where is your big treasurer?" ”

The shopkeeper asked, "Are you going to make a big deal?" ”

Sun Kewang said politely: "To tell you the truth, this master is the current emperor, why don't you go and spread the word to your big shopkeeper?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard that it was the emperor who arrived, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground: "Xiaomin kowtow to Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord Blessings!" ”

Sun Kewang said: "Don't you want the emperor to sit down?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and said, "Please sit down with the emperor!" ”

He put a Taishi chair beside Gao Junshan, and shouted loudly: "Tea!" ”

Then he said to Gao Junshan: "Please wait for the emperor, Xiaomin will let people invite the big treasurer." ”

Because the big shopkeeper Bai Ruyun has a relationship with the emperor, of course this shopkeeper will not doubt Gao Junshan's identity.
