Zhu Cijiong finally agreed to the generals' proposal. In order to find enough food, the soldiers of the 50,000 soldiers were divided into 50 thousand-man teams.

Beyond the Yukon Territory, the number of indigenous people has increased dramatically, suggesting that there is enough food in this land, and if you are patient and look for it, you will definitely get a harvest. Sure enough, at the end of October, the Ming army collected enough grain.

And Zhu Youxiao also decided to let the empire's war in the Great Wilderness Dongzhou achieve a decisive victory before the end of the armistice agreement between China and Russia. When the time comes, if it fights on two fronts, the empire will definitely not be able to support it.

"I have decided to increase the number of troops in the Great Wilderness Dongzhou by another 20,000 to ensure a phased victory in the offensive against Manchukuo next year and complete control of the entire Indian region."

"Your Majesty, the empire has only sent 50,000 soldiers to the military cantonment this year, and the military cantonment will not have preliminary results until the end of next year, if it continues to increase the troops, the supply of military food is the most serious problem." Sun Chuanting said.

"Beyond Mount Rocky, you get enough food, and it's said that there are hundreds of thousands of people east of Mount Rocky."

"Your Majesty, but the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion plans to send 20,000 female soldiers to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou next year." Hong Chengchou said.

"Send 10,000 female soldiers next year, and then send 10,000 female soldiers to the Great Wilderness East Continent the year after next, controlling the entire Indian region is extremely important to the empire's strategy in the Great Wilderness East Continent, if you can control the entire Indian region, the empire will be able to completely solve the food problem in the future."

"According to the informant, Manchukuo has purchased a batch of firearms from the British." Chen Sidao.

"British? Tell the British that if they sell firearms to Manchukuo again, the Empire will treat it as a declaration of war by Britain against the Empire. Although the empire does not want to get involved in the wars of Westerners, it does not mean that the empire has never been afraid of war. Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No."

"In addition, the Metropolitan Governor's Office is preparing to form a new navy, and the responsibility of this navy will be to defend the interests of the empire in the Great Wilderness East Continent." Zhu Youxiao said.

"It takes tens of millions of taels of silver to form a new navy, and I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to come up with so much silver now." Hong Chengchou said.

"I don't need to put this navy in one step, I can give the cabinet and the Metropolitan Governor's Office ten years to build this navy. If the empire can have a powerful navy in the Great Wilderness East Continent, then the empire will have more say in the Great Wilderness East Continent. ”

"No."

……

At the end of the spring of the thirty-sixth year of the Apocalypse, the empire once again sent 20,000 troops to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou.

Li Dingguo and Zhu Cijiong were also discussing the use of troops against Manchukuo at this moment. Zhu Cijiong and Li Dingguo have a clear division of responsibilities and powers, Zhu Cijiong is the governor, he is responsible for the affairs of Tuntian and the political affairs of the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, while Li Dingguo is responsible for the military.

Li Dingguo's current strength was not enough to launch an offensive against Manchukuo, and he did not know that the empire had sent another 20,000 soldiers to reinforce the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, and the cold winter had completely cut off the connection between the Great Wilderness Dongzhou and the empire itself, so he hoped that Zhu Cijiong could send 10,000 soldiers from the army to assist him. After all, the soldiers who participated in the military camp were all veterans and soldiers who were about to retire, and their combat power was not inferior to that of Li Dingguo's commanded soldiers.

"To mobilize soldiers to participate in the war, there must be a military order from the emperor and the Metropolitan Governor's Office, if there is no military order to move, the empire will be regarded as a rebellion. Admiral Li, you also know the current situation of this king, if someone really takes such a handle, the consequences can be imagined. Zhu Cijiong said softly. Zhu Cijiong is now cautious and does not dare to make a single mistake of principle.

Li Dingguo also understood that Zhu Cijiong's situation was very embarrassing now, but he still couldn't understand why Zhu Youxiao had to send Zhu Cijiong to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, "Lord Wang, you are in charge of the affairs of the military tun, and the military tun area includes the entire Indian region, the last general does not need the prince to send troops directly to help, only needs the soldiers of the military tun to help the last general guard the back road, don't let the Manchurian army cut off the back road of our army." ”

"When are you going to continue to use troops against Manchukuo?" Zhu Cijiong asked. Zhu Cijiong also wanted to understand why Zhu Youxiao had to let him come to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou? If you don't violate the principle, Zhu Cijiong is still willing.

"We're going to wait until the beginning of summer, it's still cold, and it's going to be very difficult to get over Rocky Mountain." Li Dingguo replied.

"This king will send 5,000 soldiers to the tuntian at the foot of Mount Loki within this month." Zhu Cijiong nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Longen!"

……

It's just that he didn't wait for Li Dingguo to send troops, he received the news that the empire had sent an additional 20,000 troops to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, and with these 20,000 troops, he didn't need to borrow troops from Zhu Cijiong.

However, just as the empire was preparing to use troops against Manchukuo, the Russian army of 100,000 launched an attack on the Polish army in Belarus and the Smolensk region on the northern front, in the north, in the center and in the south. The first phase of the Russian-Polish war came to an end.

In July, Li Dingguo led 30,000 Ming troops across the Rocky Mountains and launched a summer offensive against Manchukuo. In order to resist the offensive of the Ming army, Manchukuo mobilized 63,000 people into this war.

The commander of the Manchurian Army was Hauge's eldest son, Qi Zheng. At this time, Haoge had already died of illness, and the power of Manchukuo had fallen into the hands of Qi Zhengyi.

The location of the decisive battle between the two armies was chosen at the foot of Rocky Mountain, and at this moment, the Manchurian Army already had a team of 5,000 people equipped with Apocalypse Spears, which was also Qi Zheng's biggest reliance.

The formation of the Ming army was backed by Mount Rocky, while the formation of the Manchurian army was facing Mount Rocky.

At about 9:10, the Manchurian Army took the lead in launching an offensive against the Ming army. The gap between the firearms of the two sides was suddenly narrowed, which made the Ming army very uncomfortable, in the past, the Ming army was hanging and beating the enemy, and now the enemy suddenly has the ability to counterattack, which caught the Ming army a little off guard. But fortunately, the Ming army had a clear advantage in artillery, otherwise, it was very likely that the Ming army's Chinese army would have been defeated by the Manchurian army on the first morning.

On the first day of the battle, the Chinese army of the Ming army fought very badly, but the left and right flanks of the Ming army relied on the advantage of firearms, not only successfully suppressed the attack of the Manchurian army, but also firmly held the upper hand.

The first day of the battle made Li Dingguo very aggrieved, which also reminded the Ming army that the Ming army, which was accustomed to fighting with the wind, was not fully prepared when it was evenly matched. However, the Manchurian Army saw the hope of defeating the Ming army, and Qi Zheng'e decided to focus on defense on both flanks and concentrate on defeating the Ming army's Chinese army first.

The next day, Li Dingguo made a bold decision, he decided to use the cover of Rocky Hill to place the right flank in the position of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army to go around to the rear of the Manchurian army.

Li Dingguo's strategy was so successful that the Manchurian army did not realize that the central army of the Ming army had become yesterday's right flank, and the right flank was actually only an empty shelf. When the Ming army suddenly appeared behind the Manchurian army in the afternoon, Qi Zheng'e even thought that the reinforcements of the Ming army were coming.

The Manchurian Army, which was flanked by the Ming army in front and rear, soon lost its own formation and lost the protection of the formation, and the Manchurian Army was quickly defeated. The most crucial war between the Ming army and the Manchurian army ended with the victory of the Ming army.
