In fact, Yang Qing already had to seriously deal with the expansion of the Russians.

Next they will go south.

It is now 1651 in the Western calendar, in the Battle of Buzara in 1652, our Qing Dynasty drove back the Russians at home with an absolute advantage of 2,000 people, and at the cost of 700 casualties, the latter suffered 88 casualties, including 10 dead, officially opening the fierce confrontation between the Qing and Russian sides in the Heilongjiang River Valley. In 1658, he fought again on the Songhua River, this time he completely annihilated 270 Russians, and in 1660, he fought again on the Boli Ancient Altar, and our Qing warriors annihilated 60 enemies, but the commander Bahai was quickly removed from his post for concealing losses......

The two sides continued to fight each other.

At the same time, the Russians had more and more strongholds.

Strongholds such as Yaksa and Nebuchu were established, and in the end, Ma Ge could not bear it anymore, and won a great victory, and then signed the first unequal treaty of our Qing Dynasty, ceding all the land north of the Trans-Khingan Mountains to Lake Baikal.

It's a bit speechless to say that this big win is really speechless.

Now it's Yang Qing.

He will spend the next decade facing the first wave of Russia's southward movement.

And not only in this direction.

In the direction of Central Asia, the Russians are also moving south, but at this time it is not Yang Qing who needs to think about it, the Dzungar Ministry is the first to bear the brunt, and Batur Huntaiji has already declared himself a vassal to the empress. In fact, his envoys were stationed in Chang'an, and when Yang Qing promised to maintain the status quo on both sides, they simply changed from being a vassal to Li Zicheng to a vassal to the empress, just like the Heshuo Special Ministry. Anyway, it was just a symbol, they paid a tribute every three years, and the Empress of the Ming Dynasty gave them a golden seal, canonized Batur Huntaiji as Dzungar Khan, and then he and his successor eldest son Sangge will continue to fight the Russians west of the Altai Mountains.

Until Ge Erdan succeeded to the throne, changed his strategy and turned to Russia.

And in the Baikal direction.

By this time, the Russians had already built a fortress in Bratsk, 500 kilometers from Lake Baikal, and ten years later the city of Irkutsk was founded, and then in just five years, they crossed Lake Baikal and founded Ulan-Ude.

Officially spy on the Mongolian plateau.

Within twenty years, the Russians spread all over the 10,000-mile frontier from Boli to the Irtysh.

But......

"Twenty years?"

Yang Qing said with some emotion: "Twenty years later, Tamar will attack Yekaterinburg!" ”

Indeed, that was originally historical.

But now, with the development speed of the Ming Dynasty, it is really time to attack Yekaterinburg in twenty years, in fact, as long as the national highway through the Western Regions is repaired, the Ming army will have the conditions to sweep the Western Regions. In his plan, this national highway was not only built to the Western Regions, but also from Turpan to the south of Xinjiang, the Ili River valley and Burzin, as long as it reached Burqin, the rest was the rafting of the Irtysh River, which would send the Ming army all the way to Tyumen. Along the way, Omsk and Tula were not real fortresses, but ordinary earthen cities, which were impossible to withstand the artillery fire of the Ming army.

Only Tyumen is a real fortress.

The city has been built for more than sixty years.

But it is useless, the Russian forces east of the Ural Mountains are simply not enough to resist the Ming army of even one army, and what protects them is only the distance and the severe cold of winter, but in any case, the Ming army after the twenties will definitely come to Yekaterinburg.

So he didn't need to think about the invasion of the Russians at all, but the Russians trembled under the attack of the Ming army.

As for the Russians who went south......

Just let them go south, anyway, it is the Mongols and the Saurons who are facing them, and they have not surrendered to the Ming so far, so the Ming has no obligation to protect them. When do you want to get the protection of the Ming Dynasty, let's first talk about this issue of being a minister and paying tribute.

Five days later.

Guangzhou.

"Where's Elephant Gong?"

King Gui looked at a group of village sages and officials and said.

"Xianggang Gong is seriously ill and is bedridden!"

The head of the village sage, who is also the same as He Wuyu's old man Wu Ruilong, said.

King Gui nodded.

"Wang Chengen's letter, Yang Qing wants us to hand over Gaozhou and Luoding Erfu as a gift for his son for 100 days, and the King of Jingjiang has already handed over Liuzhou Mansion like this, and the King of Joseon has also handed over his Jingcheng Protectorate, so do you think we will pay it or not?"

He said as he threw the letter down the table.

Of course, Yang Qing like King Gui can't be clear, just like asking Lu Jiude to scare King Jingjiang, this has to be done through Wang Chengen, so that Lao Wang can use a private message and a persuasive tone to let King Gui be smart and take the initiative to donate land. As for those fanbangs, there was no need for such trouble, and it was the messenger who carried the decree and asked them to directly donate the land, so it took a long time, and in fact it must have exceeded his son's hundred days. But it's not a big deal, I didn't send it in 100 days, and there will be a birthday gift next!

In short, you can give a gift whenever you want.

"With the land affairs of Qin, it is still a salary to fight the fire, the salary is not exhausted, and the fire is not extinguished!"

Wu Ruilong stroked his white beard and said.

"What does Tie Shan Gong mean not to give?"

Chen Zizhuang said.

"Well, the old man didn't say that, the old man just thought that this Yang Qing was encroaching step by step, and the land of Guangdong fell into his hands piece by piece, and we couldn't just sit back and wait for death!"

Wu Ruilong said.

"That's not giving!"

Chen Zizhuang said very ignorantly.

Wu Ruilong snorted coldly with a calm face and stopped speaking.

"I think it's time for us to be tough, we have raised 50,000 elite soldiers over the years, built a strong fortress, and spent so much silver, is it just for nothing? Yang Qing wants Leizhou, Gaozhou and Luoding, so next time he must find an excuse to Zhaoqing, what should we do? Did you give Zhaoqing to him too? If Zhaoqing also gives it to him, then what are we still supporting? Honestly and directly give him Guangzhou too! So this time we can't continue to be at his mercy, he is nothing more than letting the navy fight Humen again, but we already have the Humen fortress and hundreds of cannons waiting. We also have the fortress of Shaoguan when he attacks Shaoguan, even if he attacks from the Xijiang River, we also have the defense of the Xijiang River, not to mention that Guangxi may not necessarily hand over Liuzhou honestly.

What is the difference between them handing over Liuzhou and handing over the whole of Guangxi?

Is there a lonely city left in Guilin?

What's more, Liuzhou fell into the hands of Yang Qing, can those toasts in Guixi endure it? It's not that the Cen family's toasts don't understand, and Yang Qing will take Liuzhou again, and they will be the next target.

The world has been bitter for a long time!

We need to say no to him! ”

Chen Bangyan said.

However, the sages of the country looked at each other with a wince.

Although they are really unwilling, if they want to make them rebel against Yang Qing, they don't have the courage either! It will definitely not be able to fight, although they also have an army of 50,000, and there are also top fortresses such as Shaoguan and Humen, but the problem is that Yang Qing has already solved the north, and hundreds of thousands of troops can go south at any time. They didn't think that their strength could withstand the huge army of the imperial court, and the 20,000 in Guangxi was not enough, plus the Tusi ......

Plus toast is not enough.

At least the Tusi could not guarantee that Yang Qing's army would not break through Guangzhou, and the Tusi could only protect themselves from danger, even if the wolf soldiers of the Cen family were pulled to the flat ground, they could not support the two rounds of salvos from the marines.

There is still this point of awareness, and the village sages still have it.

"You can't fight it, if you beat us, we will become a rebel, and if you hit it, Yang Qing will have an excuse to copy our house!"

Wu Ruilong sighed and said earnestly.

This is an important question.

Even if Yang Qing takes back Guangdong, as long as they don't resist, then Yang Qing has no excuse to raid his family, these people are all wealthy, and any one of them is dozens or even millions of family properties, compared with these, simply losing land, this can actually be endured with gritted teeth.

Of course, it's best if you don't lose it.

After all, when Yang Qing recovered Guangdong, they not only lost their land, but also had to face a large number of competition for labor in Huangzhuang, and they had to increase the wages of the workers.

This one is even more unbearable than losing the land.

Who still enters their factory if there is Huangzhuang?

If there is farmland that can feed the whole family, who will go and give them the eighteen hours a day to be slave laborers? And the competitiveness of their products almost depends on the exploitation of workers! Without the millions of men, women and even children working in the city of Guangzhou, how could they be as rich as the rest of the country? How did they compete with factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that used new machines and even began to promote steam engines? If they were to switch to the new machines as well, how much extra money would it cost?

But resist......

"Guys, we seem to have overlooked something very important!"

Chen Zizhuang looked at the letter and said.

The sages looked at him together.

"This is not His Majesty's holy decree, nor is it the text of the imperial court, it is just a private letter from Wang Chengen to the king, and a private letter from the director of the Ming Taxation Department to the king of the Ming Gui Domain."

Chen Zizhuang said.

"What's the use of that? If we don't give it to Yang Qing, we still have to do it! ”

Wu Ruilong said.

Of course, he understood what Chen Zizhuang meant.

"What excuse did he use?"

Chen Zizhuang said.

"If he wants to do it, he's afraid that he won't have an excuse? What is the danger of adding to the sin? Don't always think that he will reason with you, is Yang Qing that kind of person? How could a sinister and cunning man like him be afraid that there would be no excuses? Outside Humen is the battleship of the Nanyang Naval Division, just get a few catties of gunpowder one night and listen to it, saying that we can send people to sabotage! ”

Wu Ruilong said disdainfully.

It is clear that he and the American capitalists will have a common language.

Chen Zizhuang bowed his head in embarrassment.

"What if it's public opinion? Isn't Yang Qing the most particular about public opinion? Let's also learn from him, let the wind out first, and say that the king is going to sacrifice Gaozhou and Luoding Erfu, and then find some people to march on the streets, and disagree with the king to do this, and the newspaper will also advocate it. In addition, in various places, especially Gaozhou and Luoding, some civil petitions were held to ask the king to take back his order, and the army also got some people to join the petition, in short, this kind of activity. Then the king asked the Advisory Bureau to vote on it, and we voted again, bribed the newspapers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to report the results, and at the same time organized a petition group to go to Beijing to beat the drum! ”

Chen Bangyan said.

The village sages looked at each other.

"This plan works!"

Wu Ruilong stroked his beard and said.
