Yuan Chonghuan was now preparing for the Northern Expedition, and he did not consider the entry of the army into Tibet at all. Now that Zhu Youxiao has decided to enter Tibet next year, he has to immediately rush to persuade Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, if you enter Tibet next year to crusade against Zangba Khan, the army may not be able to continue the Northern Expedition, and the empire will not be able to fight two wars of this scale at the same time." ”

"After the army enters Tibet, it will not immediately crusade against the Tibetan Khan, it will take a period of time to adapt to the climate of Tibet in the early stage, and the army will only march into Shigatse after a period of repair in Lhasa, and this time I will only send 50,000 troops into Tibet, I only require the army to take Shigatse in two years." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, after entering Tibet, how to solve the military supplies?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Sonam Qunpei and Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen agreed that they would be responsible for the food and salary of the army, and I only need to be responsible for the arms needed by the army, as long as Sonam Qunpei and Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen strongly support, this battle will be won." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Qing is still going according to the original plan?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"It must be carried out according to the original plan, the empire has been planning for several months for this northern expedition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can it be wasted." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer able to threaten the empire, the minister proposes to set up a new weapons manufacturing bureau in the Jilin Domain, and by the time the Northern Expedition is made in June next year, the two weapons manufacturing bureaus in the northeast can meet the needs of the Northern Expedition, and can also shorten the supply distance of the army." Yuan Chonghuan suggested.

"The new Weapons Manufacturing Bureau can be set up in Heilongjiang to prepare for the victory over the Manchus." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No. The ministers will discuss the matter with the cabinet and the military department. Yuan Chonghuan said.

……

In the intensive preparation of the Northern Expedition, the empire entered the twenty-third year of the apocalypse. And the news of the Empire's imminent third northern expedition to the Manchus also reached Dolgon.

"According to the report of the spies, the number of the Ming thief's northern expedition is between 100,000 and 150,000, this battle will be the last battle between our army and the Ming army, if it wins, our army will have the ability to go south, if it fails, our army will have no way to retreat." Dorgon said.

"Lord Wang, I heard that you have been planning to evacuate to the Americas, I don't know if there will be any results?" Bomu Bogol, the leader of the Sauron's tribe, asked. The Sauron Department has always been at odds with the Manchus, but under the strong pressure of the Ming army, the Sauron Department and the Manchus were forcibly reconciled.

And the spies of the Ming Dynasty have been spreading the news of the retreat to the Americas among the tribes, making this matter known to everyone.

"To evacuate to the Americas, you need to cross the Pengju Strait (Bering Strait, there is no name at this time, so it was named Pengju Strait by Zhu Youxiao), there is no boat, are you going to swim over?" Dorgon said dissatisfied.

"I heard that Daming has a ship to take us across the sea, and someone has been contacting, but I don't know what the result will be?" Bomu Bogol said.

"I've heard this news too, and I've always thought it was just a rumor." Badali, the leader of the Korqin Tribe, said in surprise.

"I don't know where you heard about it, how did I not know about it?" Dorgon said coldly.

"The Han people often say: If you can withdraw to the Americas, I suggest that it is best to withdraw to the Americas. It is said that the Americas are extremely rich, and after we arrive in the Americas, we will be able to compete with the thieves in a maximum of ten years. Bomu Bogol said unrelentingly.

"If I can withdraw to the Americas, I also think it is the best policy to withdraw to the Americas." Badali also said.

"If there is a chance to withdraw to the Americas, I will definitely give priority to arranging for everyone to withdraw to the Americas, but now that the Ming thieves are about to attack our army, I think it is still necessary to give priority to how to defeat the Ming thieves, as for the matter of retreating to the Americas, I suggest putting it aside for the time being." Dorgon said.

"The Ming thieves will not march until at least May or June this time, and now there are at least four months left, and I think we should prepare for the attack of the Ming thieves while preparing for the retreat to the Americas." Badali said.

"Just do as you say. Sauron's department was familiar with the terrain and was responsible for detecting the movements of the Ming army, Feiyango was responsible for contacting the ships, and the rest of the people were preparing to meet the Ming army. "Dolgon knew that there must be no division at this moment, the three of them together were not necessarily opponents of the Ming army, let alone if there was a split.

"Lord Wang, I think it is most appropriate to be in charge of contacting the ship to the Horqin Ministry." Bomu Bogol said.

Hearing Bomu Bogol's words, Dolgon was really angry, today's meeting, Sauron's Ministry seems to have been raising the bar with him, he couldn't help but glared at Bomu Bogol fiercely, Bomu Bogol also gave Dolgon a look in return, the two are like two fighting cocks seem to turn their faces at any time.

"The two of them are angry." Seeing this, Badali hurriedly persuaded and said, "Lord Wang, leave the matter of contacting the ship to our Horqin, and Horqin will definitely advance and retreat with the prince." ”

Fighting back his anger, Dorgon said, "Yes. I hope that everyone will not be unreasonably suspicious in the future, which will only give the thief an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

……

At the end of the meeting, Dolgon asked Feuyango, "How is the matter of the ships connected?" ”

"It's almost there, but the price has not been negotiated, and the other party asked for 500,000 taels of silver before agreeing to send us across the sea." Feiyango said.

"Given, as long as someone is here and goes to the Americas, are we afraid that we won't be able to earn 500,000 taels of silver dollars?" Dorgon gritted his teeth.

"I'll try again, and if I really can't negotiate, I'll pay the 500,000 taels of silver. It's just Badali's side......," Feyango said.

"Regardless of Badali, we do ours. Who do you think leaked the news? Dorgon asked.

"A year ago, there was already rumor among the tribes that they could cross east to the Americas, but I really don't know who leaked the news. Could it be a businessman from the Ming Dynasty? Feyango said.

Dolgon thought for a while and said: "Today's news must not be leaked again, if it leaks out again, without waiting for the Ming army to attack, our army's morale will have already been dispersed." ”

"Brother Fourteen, why do you have to fight this battle with the Ming army? If we go to the Americas now, we can at least preserve our strength, and after a few years, when we have our strength restored, we can make a comeback. Feyango said.

"This battle must be fought, I believe that if we go to the Americas now, as soon as we set foot on the soil of the Americas, the Sauron Ministry will leave, which will greatly weaken our strength, and I will take advantage of this battle to eat the Sauron Department." Dorgon said.

"Then we might as well do it now." Fei Yangguo said softly.

"No, if you do it now, Korqin's heart will be scattered." Dorgon said.
