Those outsiders who fled into the rainforest were pursued by local natives as guides, and the end can be imagined, although Schwila was not caught, but it should be a matter of time. Liang Xiaozhen reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen through a chat group, asking for an attack on Goa as well.

On the Lion Country's side, because of the brutality of the Portuguese colonists and the help of the natives, the Ming army had the help of the natives, and the offensive was unexpectedly smooth. This satisfied Emperor Chongzhen, so he approved Liang Xiaozhen's request and began to attack Goa as well.

For Colombo, Emperor Chongzhen did not plan to divide the feudal kings, so as a province of the Ming Dynasty, he was ready to directly send officials to manage it.

Now that the Lion Kingdom has been taken, the soldiers of the Ming Navy can go directly to the Arabian Sea, and even the Red Sea. When you turn back to deal with the Mughals, should you shoot the army landing in Mumbai, cooperate with the Bengal side, and attack on both sides? Anyway, there is a chat group system, no matter how far away, there is no problem in cooperating with the battle!

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, Zasaktu Khan Norbu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the situation in Tsarist Russia was not very good, he was finally given a reply.

At this time, Tsarist Russia, their main enemy, in fact, Poland, Sweden and other countries to the west, Sweden blocked Tsarist Russia's access to the sea, and Poland was even more powerful, pointing fingers at the position of the tsar, and even sending troops to interfere.

Just a few years earlier, there had been a great war between the two sides, which ended in a fourteen-year contract in which Tsarist Russia ceded large swaths of territory to Poland, but Poland recognized Mikhail as Tsar.

It was also because of this agreement that Poland released Tsar Mikhail's father, Patriarch Filaret. As soon as he returned to China, he became the de facto controller of Tsarist Russia, and began to rule Tsarist Russia with an iron fist. It was also at this time that Tsarist Russia actually put an end to the "era of chaos" that had begun since Ivan the Terrible.

Pastor Filaret first wanted to revitalize Tsarist Russia, and several countries in the west were strong enemies, so he had no choice for the time being, so he plundered supplies from Siberia on a large scale to enrich the national strength. It's just that I didn't expect that the big countries in the east also sent troops to swear the sovereignty of Siberia, destroy the army he sent, and drive away those who ran away.

Originally, for distant Siberia, he really couldn't compete with the big powers in the East, and he belonged to the kind that was powerless. Unexpectedly, the rise of Oirat Mongolia gave Tsarist Russia another sword. Not to mention the Far East, no matter how close you are, you can't plunder the supplies, or the looted materials are cheaper for the Oirat Mongols.

This is tantamount to truly cutting off the lifeblood of the revitalization of Tsarist Russia, how can Patriarch Filaret endure it!

It was in this context that Tsarist Russia and Mobei Mongolia united and raided Oirat Mongolia together. The result was still to the satisfaction of Patriarch Filarette, and a lot of supplies were looted. It's just that he didn't expect that the big country in the east would send troops to interfere in this matter, and even wiped out Mobei Mongolia.

This incident made his heart have a little shadow. However, he can be sure of one thing, Tsarist Russia is too far away from the eastern powers, and if the eastern powers want to send troops to attack Tsarist Russia, the cost is too great, and there has never been such a thing in history, so he does not believe that the eastern powers will come to retaliate against Tsarist Russia, so he doesn't care.

However, this time, Patriarch Filaret received a notification from Norbu that he had discovered the Ming army in his territory. This time, he was also a little panicked. That big country in the East is crazy, and it is still calling from so far away?

Naturally, he didn't know that the Ming Emperor once said: "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" If he knew, he probably wouldn't have thought so.

Patriarch Filaret still attaches great importance to the affairs of the great powers of the East. Norbu's remnants still have tens of thousands of people, and it is an army that cannot be ignored, so he hurriedly sent someone to reply to Norbu, stabilize Norbu, and prepare to join forces again against the possible eastern powers.

The reason why it is possible is only because the information received so far is that the big eastern countries have sent them to stay overnight, which is at most a harassment, and is far from a threat. Seeing that the cold winter is coming, it is impossible to fight a big war at this time anyway.

It was also this realization that made Norbu really relieved in his heart. He began to order the migration to be halted and to survive the winter. For the panicked tribes, he reassured: "If the Ming army fights, Tsarist Russia will send troops." And there is also good news, the patriarch said that he also sent envoys to persuade the Crimean Khanate and Turkey in the south, if the Ming country really has to fight, let them also send troops, several countries unite to deal with the Ming army, I don't believe it, so we can't win the Ming army! ”

Speaking of which, the relations between Tsarist Russia and the Crimean Khanate, as well as Turkey, are all okay. In the previous case against Poland, Tsarist Russia did this, but this plan was not realized for various reasons.

Hearing the Great Khan's reassurance, his tribe was relieved. If the Ming army dares to chase after it again in the coming year, there will definitely not be many troops that can come over, but here are several countries united, I really don't believe that they will not be able to defeat them!

However, they ignored the fact that the future famous generals were not known at this time, so they began to camp with confidence and prepare for the winter.

More than a hundred miles away from them, the Ming army's night retreat also began to converge. The night procession, which was inquiring westward from all directions, was also eight hundred horsemen when they were gathered. Several general flags were gathered together, but a young man was the leader. This young man can be said to be unusually young, he is not yet seventeen years old, but he has already been in the army for seven years.

Not only that, but he also has a lot of experience, participating in the battle of the Ming Dynasty against the Tumut tribe of Hetao and eliminating Lin Dan Khan; participated in the Ming Dynasty's counteroffensive against Liaodong and the battle of destroying the country. I have studied in both the Elementary and Advanced Martial Arts Halls of the Kyoto Division. I also trained in the new army, and the results were all very good. And he has also heard and seen it by the side of Hong Chengchou, the great official of the Ming Dynasty, and the most important thing that cannot be ignored is that he is a person that Emperor Chongzhen values very much.

No matter who it is, they know that his future is limitless. He is Li Dingguo.

An elderly Han general banner said to Li Dingguo: "Li Zongqi, we have almost heard about the situation, and now that the cold is coming, it's time to go back, right?" ”

"In a few days, it's likely to snow. The weather is going to be bad! Another Oirat clan's chief flag echoed the situation.

Li Dingguo didn't speak immediately, it seemed a little inconsistent with his age, he looked a little old, just bowed his head and pondered.

When the other people saw him, they knew that he had an idea, so they didn't say anything, waiting for his decision.

They all know that if it weren't for the age limit, Li Dingguo would have been a guerrilla military post above the guerrilla level based on his experience and merits. It is also for this reason that before the departure of several general flags, there were military orders, and everything was headed by Li Dingguo, and he acted at the right time.

In fact, Yang Sichang, the Governor of Tian Province, felt that Li Dingguo's age was still too young, and he would not have given this military order. I heard that it was the emperor's direct order, and the governor had to obey it.

After waiting for a while, Li Dingguo suddenly raised his head, with a look of determination on his immature face, and said to the several general flags around him: "Norbu feels that the cold is coming, so stop and prepare for the winter; You also feel that the cold is coming, and we should go back and recuperate. Right? ”

"yes, yes!" Several other people listened and nodded subconsciously. But when I came back to my senses, I seemed to feel something, and I couldn't help frowning slightly.

Li Dingguo didn't seem to see the reaction on their faces, but continued: "During the time we followed them, we knew that their tribe had no morale at all, right? ”

At this point, these people present can be selected, and they are naturally experienced and not collected. Therefore, they nodded again and responded: "Indeed, the army has no morale, otherwise, they would not have seen us, just tens of thousands of horses, and they began to migrate!" ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he decisively said: "In this case, why do we attack them unprepared, so that everyone thinks that we just don't take it at night, and when the cold comes, we have to go back to rest and give them a hard blow!" If you make some contributions and go back, you can also build momentum for the day of our army's westward expedition. What do you think? ”

Hearing this, several general banners couldn't help but glance at each other, and then the older Han general banner admonished: "Li Zongqi, we only have 800 cavalry, but the enemy has 10,000 or 20,000 horses, even if you don't count women and children, then there are about 10,000, the gap is so huge, how can we fight?" ”

The other flags all nodded their heads, which is too different and a bit unrealistic.

However, one of the chief banners of the Oirat tribe suddenly turned red after hearing this, gritted his teeth and nodded: "General Banner Li wants to fight, and I will accompany them with this banner, and I will definitely make them pay for their blood debts!" ”

Needless to say, his relatives must have been killed by the Mobei tribes in a sneak attack a few years ago.

Li Dingguo glanced at him, nodded, and then looked at the other people, not angry, but said calmly: "In the sixth year of Yuanshuo in the Western Han Dynasty, the hussar general Huo Quai, General Huo, was seventeen years old at the time, but he only led eight hundred light cavalry, raided thousands of miles, and killed two thousand and twenty-eight enemies, including the Xiongnu Xiangguo and the officials of the household, and also killed Shan Yu's grandfather Ruohou, and captured Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi, and won the whole army. ”

Speaking of this, he stared into the eyes of several people and said: "Now we also have eight hundred horsemen, and we still don't collect elites at night, but the enemy on the opposite side is just a group of defeated dogs, and there is no morale. The hussar general could do it back then, why should we be afraid of thousands of people? ”

Although the other general banners did not study like Li Dingguo, they could hear about the deeds of the hussar generals back then. At this time, I heard Li Dingguo in detail again, and imagined that the hussar general of that year led 800 light horsemen to rush into thousands of miles with a weak crown and destroy the Xiongnu royal court. Compared with such great achievements, it is true that the situation they have to face now, although similar, is much less difficult.

They were thinking about it, but Li Dingguo raised his voice and asked loudly: "It's time to make meritorious contributions, the glory of the ancestors is at the moment, the man is a big man, such a good opportunity, why are you still hesitating?" ”

Hearing this, several general banners were obviously excited, there was originally a military order, to take Li Dingguo's head as the leader, and now they know that there is likely to be an opportunity to make great contributions, so they no longer hesitate, one by one became serious, and responded to Li Dingguo: "Li Zongqi, listen to you, do it!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Li, you just say how to do it?"

“……”

If Li Dingguo forcibly ordered them, because there was a military order in advance, it would naturally be okay. However, even if this kind of war in which less is fought more, no matter how advantageous it is, whether or not one's own officers and men can have high morale and subjective initiative will still have a great impact on the battle situation. Therefore, Li Dingguo said so many things to convince them.

Now, having persuaded the general banner, Li Dingguo summoned the whole army, glanced at the eight hundred elite Daming Night, and said to them solemnly: "I joined the army at the age of ten, and now it has been seven years. I have been to the palace of Lin Dan Khan; His body, I've seen; In the first battle of the Hetao that year, I personally participated in the ......"

Hearing him say this suddenly, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but wonder a little, well, ready to go back, what are you talking about?

Even those general flags were wondering in their hearts, didn't they have already made a decision, why did they suddenly talk about this? They also couldn't understand why Li Dingguo was talking about his experience.

“…… I am the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and the first is the new army! Li Dingguo didn't care, he continued, "In the new military camp, I also participated in training together, and all the assessments were excellent; Jingshi Junior Martial Arts Hall, what others learned in one year, I have already learned it in three months, and I have passed the assessment......"

Some people know about Li Dingguo's experience, and some people don't. At this time, no matter who knows or doesn't know, when they listen, they can't help but show admiration. Because they know that Li Dingguo's achievements are not something that ordinary people can do.

"After I came out of the new military camp, I participated in the Haizhou War of the Ming Dynasty's counterattack on the Jianyu War. At that time, our army waved a shot in Daheisheng, successfully mobilized Jianyu to leave the nest, and took Haizhou in one fell swoop. Later, the emperor drove the expedition in person, and I also accompanied the drive to participate in the battle to destroy the country......"

Listening to Li Dingguo talking about these past events, at this moment, these elite people didn't collect the night, and they forgot that the person who was talking in front of them was actually just a seventeen-year-old boy. Their eyes were full of admiration and envy for Li Dingguo.

And Li Dingguo, after talking about his experience, suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "This time, I found a good opportunity to seal his wife and son, and glorify his ancestors. ”
