Today's Ming Kingdom is rich and strong, and the Nanyang Navy Division is even more powerful in European countries. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, there is no country in the world that can always be smooth sailing on the road of development.

No, the Manchu Qing, who had been quiet for less than two years, began to do things again...........

The previous defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, coupled with the violent death of the regent Dolgon, the Manchus were divided internally, and they were unable to make any small moves against the Ming Dynasty.

But this is no longer the case, and last year (November 1649) the lord of the white flag, Dodor, died violently of smallpox.

At the same time, Xiaozhuang, a woman with extremely high political skills, suddenly launched a mutiny while Azig was at war with Tsarist Russia on the front line.

Duoduo, who remained in the Outer Khing'an Mountains, died violently, the dragons inside the white flag were leaderless, and Azig was dragged by the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia, and he was unable to return to help..........

After Xiaozhuang incorporated the white flag and stabilized the Manchu interior, he sent Prince Zheng Jierharang to attack the Zhengbai flag of Azig on the front line.

Azig's troops were defeated and captured.

On April 26, 1650, the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliamentary Assig convicted him of the crime and imprisoned him, and his son Lao Qin was removed from the title of prince and demoted to Beizi.

During his solitary confinement, Azig not only did not restrain himself, but became more and more rude, hiding a large knife in the prison cell, secretly digging tunnels, and claiming to set fire to the prison cell.

On December 15, 1650, the kings thought that Azig had rebelled to the extreme, and he was afraid of future troubles, so he should be immediately executed, and Emperor Shunzhi ordered him to commit suicide.

Just one year after Duoduo's death, Aisin Jueluo Fulin (Emperor Shunzhi) successfully subdued the Zhengbai and Baibai flags at a small cost, and the Manchus were finally reunited after two years of division.

Perhaps even God can't see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty led troops into the customs and caused many massacres of several major generals, basically all of whom died unexpectedly.

The regent Dolgon fell from his horse and died, the Prince of Su Haoge was framed and killed, the Prince of Yu Duoduo contracted smallpox, and the Prince of Heshuoying, Azige, failed to seize power and hanged himself...........

There are always striking similarities in history, and in the history of another time and space, these people, including Aisin Jueluo Fulin, are basically short-lived ghosts.

Even if the Ming Dynasty drove these invaders out of the gate, it could not change their fate.

Others are good to say, but Azig is the most tragic one, because he was killed by the Manchu Qing and Tsarist Russia.

That's right, when Xiaozhuang sent an envoy to persuade Azig to enter Siberia, he was already planning for this matter.

Although this region of Siberia is vast and rich in products, the harsh climatic conditions make neither Tsarist Russia nor Xiaozhuang interested in this land.

Tsarist Russia is only aggressive, and when it sees it, it wants to hold it in its hands, and if it really wants them to invest hundreds of thousands of troops in Siberia, Tsarist Russia may not be willing to pay this capital.

But Xiaozhuang persuaded the Russians, but the bait thrown by Xiaozhuang was not the land of Siberia, but the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, Tsarist Russia and the Manchus are both greedy and warlike races (the Manchus were indeed very warlike in the early stage), but the two countries were poor and fought back and forth, except for heavy casualties, there was no benefit at all.

Tsarist Russia wants land, Manchus want wealth, and these things, the Ming Dynasty, located in the south, just met these two conditions.

Tsarist Russia has coveted the territory of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but there is still a desert north in the middle, although the Mongolian tribes have declined, but they are also descendants of Genghis Khan, which is so easy to conquer?

Now with the Manchu Eight Banners as the guide, the plan of Tsarist Russia's southern invasion finally has a trace of feasibility.

Of course, the premise is to help the Manchu Eight Banners complete the unification.

So the plan to flank Azig back and forth was born.

From Azig and Dordor to Siberia with their armies, he was doomed.

The fall of Azig was only the beginning, not only marking the reunification of the Manchus and the formation of a strategic alliance with Tsarist Russia, but also marking the rekindling of the war in the northern region of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to gain the trust of Tsarist Russia, Xiaozhuang ordered the Manchu tribes to retreat to Hulunbuir and give Siberia to the Tsars.

In addition, she used her Mongolian status to actively contact the Mongolian tribes in the Hulunbuir steppe.

Hulunbuir is located in the east of the whole Mongolia, and the Mongolian tribes in this region have a close relationship with the Manchu Eight Banners, and now the Manchus are in power again, and some Mongolian tribes who want to take advantage of the opportunity have also joined in.

Of course, this is only in the vicinity of the Hulunbuir Prairie, and it is far enough away from Daming.

The closer the Mongol tribes were to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the more serious their resistance to the Manchu Qing Dynasty became, and when these people heard that they were going to attack the Ming Dynasty, they refused without thinking about it.

It's not that Daming is so good to these tribes, on the contrary, because these tribes are close to the territory of Daming, they have more or less seen the power of Daming firearms, and they can't have much resistance at all.

Since it can't be solicited, then use force.

As a result, from August 1650, the Mongolian steppe ushered in a series of great battles.

In the east, the Manchus were attacking, and in the west, Tsarist Russia was invading.

The Russian-Manchurian coalition army, starting from Lake Baikal, went all the way to the south, and the front of the army was directed at the Ming Dynasty.

It was not until March 1651 that the Russian-Manchurian army finally fought the first battle with the Ming National Defense Army in Ningxiawei.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ningxia Mansion was established, two years later, it was abolished in the fifth year of Hongwu, and Ningxia Wei was set up four years later.

Ningxia Wei is not only one of the "nine important towns" of the Ming Dynasty, but also the northwest region of the Ming Dynasty, and the main mutual market place with the Mongolian ministries.

In fact, the Russian-Manchurian coalition army did not plan to fight the Ming Dynasty now, after all, from Lake Baikal to the border of the Ming Dynasty, the territory is very vast, and it is no less than a Siberia.

Although the Russian-Manchurian coalition army is powerful, it is still unrealistic to want to annex the Mongolian departments in just half a year.

The trip of the Russian-Manchurian coalition was originally just to pursue a group of Mongolian nobles, because Mongolia is still a slave society, as long as the nobles of a tribe are controlled, then the population of this tribe is all owned by the other party.

But this group of nobles was too cunning, and they fled all the way to Ningxiawei, so the Russian-Manchurian alliance simply tested the strength of the Ming Dynasty army.

The battle lasted only an hour, and the final result was self-evident, and the Russian-Manchurian army retreated in disgrace.

And for a long time, whenever the Mongols fled into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Russian-Manchurian coalition army would not continue to pursue............

Daming, Beijing, Zhongnanhai office location, Li Hongfei is talking with Situ Yan.

"Lao Maozi is quite rampant, it's only been half a year, and he has reached the border of Daming." Li Hongfei said with a smile while looking at the battle report.

"If you don't let it go, will they be able to break into Mongolia?" Situ Yan didn't have a good airway.

"I can't say that, the Mongol tribes are not attached to my Ming dynasty, we have no excuse to meddle in other countries' disputes, and even if I agree, the parliament will not pass the war proposal." Li Hongfei argued.

The Mongol tribes have always looked down on the Ming and Han people, and the peoples on horseback are generally only closely related to the people on horseback, even if the Manchu Dynasty they submitted to in the past was driven back to the outside of the pass because of defeat, but the Mongolian tribes did not turn their heads to the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the tribes took the opportunity to declare their independence, and once again returned to the chaotic period of conquest by the various tribes.

Only some relatively weak tribes announced their recognition of the status of the Ming suzerainty.

And this is only a nominal admission, even the most basic tribute has not been carried out, and the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty has no sense of existence in their eyes.

"Is that why you have been avoiding the envoys of the Mongols?" Situ Yan said with a smile.

That's right, as early as when the Russian-Manchurian coalition invaded Mongolia, those affiliated tribes saw that the situation was not good, and began to send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, asking the Ming to send troops to relieve the danger of the Mongolian tribes.

However, Li Hongfei did not even want to meet these Mongolian envoys in person, and directly handed them over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for handling.

What are you kidding, you usually don't respect the boss, and you only crammed when you encounter something, how can there be such a good thing?

As for what decision the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can make, it is not to accompany these envoys to play Tai Chi every day, and it is really impossible to shirk it, so in the past two months, it has ordered the border guards to allow the reception of Mongolian refugees.

"I'm not a world policeman, there's no need to maintain world peace, Tsarist Russia invaded Mongolia for the territory of the entire Mongolian steppe, shouldn't this high-quality pasture belong to my Ming Dynasty?" Li Hongfei asked rhetorically.

"I don't think the Mongolian tribes will agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty." Situ Yan analyzed.

The Ming Dynasty was reluctant to send troops on the grounds that it was not its own territory.

Its intention has been very obvious, that is, that the Mongolian tribes declare that they will completely belong to the Ming Dynasty, so that Mongolia belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will have a reason to send troops to protect its people.

But the Mongols are not stupid, the Russian-Manchurian coalition is also for the territory of the Mongols, the big deal is to finally annex the Manchus, at least the current power of the Manchus is still the Mongols, why are you still rushing to beg you Daming?

"No, they'll say yes. The Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is stronger and which is weak, have long been known in their hearts. Besides, if all the Mongol tribes were attached to the Manchus, it would save a lot of trouble, you know, we and the Manchus have always been at war. Li Hongfei pointed out.

The Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be described as an endless situation, and the other party was allowed to develop in the Hulunbuir area before, because the whip was beyond the reach of the Ming army, and it was difficult for the Ming army to completely recover this area due to logistical reasons.

The Mongolian steppe, but next to the Ming Dynasty (beyond the Great Wall is Mongolia), if this place becomes the land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after the Ming army is defeated, it will naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty.

When the time comes, another province will be set up and the Mongols will be self-governed, and other countries will not be able to say anything morally.

In fact, big countries also have the difficulties of big countries, expanding their territory and leaving a name in history, this is what any ruler wants to do, but can this kind of thing really be done casually?

Of course not, it is not the imperial court or the army that has the final say in the war, and without the support of the people, it is called a division that is nameless and bullying a weak country.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the strength was strong, such as Burma, Vietnam, North Korea and other places, it was not a rhythm of a direct slap to death, but because the other party was too weak, and took the initiative to show goodwill, there was no benefit from beating it down.

Therefore, those in power do not want to end up with a reputation of working hard and losing money, and being reckless in military force.

And is it good to take Mongolia?

Of course, Mongolia's war horses, beef and mutton, and even the future wool textile industry have given Li Hongfei enough reasons to do something about the Mongolian steppe.

But the common people don't understand this!

Li Hongfei couldn't tell the world that he had taken a fancy to the wealth of the Mongols and wanted to grab it.

How is this different from barbarianism?

Even the overseas colonial plundering of the Ming Dynasty was propagated by the common people in the context of doing business, and ordinary people even thought that those overseas resistance forces were just a group of pirates who were red at the treasures of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, if you want to eat Mongolia, you must have a good reason, either Mongolia takes the initiative to merge into the Ming Dynasty, or it is scraped by the Russian-Manchurian coalition army.

"It seems that the Russians are going to work in vain this time." Situ Yan said.

"I'll have to make them vomit twice as much as they eat!" Li Hongfei said coldly.

At least in Siberia, Li Hongfei must be held in his hands.

Siberia may be just a deserted land now, but the rich mineral resources contained in the ground are coveted by all countries in the future............

Bayannur City, Mongolia, is located in the Hetao area, only more than 300 miles away from Ningxiawei, the border of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the front-line command of the Tsarist Russian army.

"We need artillery, many, many cannons, otherwise we won't be able to attack the Han city at all!" A Russian general roared.

His troops suffered a big loss in Ningxia Wei and wanted to get back on the field.

"The firearms of the Han people are too advanced, even if there are cannons, they may not be their opponents, don't forget, the cannons of the Han people can fight two kilometers away and declare war on the Ming Dynasty, which is not a wise choice!" Another general said.

"Yerumuf, are you scared, I know you are a coward!" The roaring Tsarist generals did not even give face to their own superiors.

"Actually, don't you think it's enough to take the whole of Mongolia? Although the Ming Dynasty was rich, it was not so easy for us to eat, and we didn't have to work hard for those yellow-skinned monkeys, and they were still female monkeys. Yarumuv said.

Obviously, some of the Tsarists saw the intensity of the Ming army's firepower and had already begun to retreat.

According to the original agreement with Xiaozhuang, most of Mongolia belonged to Tsarist Russia, and the Manchu Qing only needed the area east of Ulaanbaatar, as for the Ming Dynasty........... The Manchus only needed wealth.

However, through the brief exchange of fire with the Ming army in Ningxiawei before, the Tsarist Russians had already discovered that they had been used as guns by the Manchus.

It is simply unrealistic to occupy the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if Tsarist Russia is greedy for land, it is still self-aware, and if the Han people are weak in combat, it is worth considering.

But how can a superpower with a population of more than 100 million and extremely strong combat effectiveness occupy its territory so easily?

"That's right, unless you change the conditions and divide the plundered gold and silver treasures in half, there is really no need to waste time here." Someone agreed.

Only in the first confrontation, Tsarist Russia has no illusions about the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why it still stays here is that, like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it also covets the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

"We still want to clean up the Mongolian ministries, and then wait for these territories to be in hand, and then see if that woman is sincere." Yarumuv said.

Although the firearms of the Ming Dynasty army were powerful, in Yerumuf's view, they were only more than enough to defend and not enough to attack.

As long as they do not take the initiative to cross the border to find the bad luck of the other side, the other side will definitely not dare to enter the Mongolian steppe, and the Ming army lacks cavalry and is not good at field warfare, which is almost the consensus between the Tsarist Russians and the Manchus.

Therefore, Yerumufu was not at all worried that his prestige in Mongolia would attract the retaliation of the Ming army.
