Zhu Youxiao did not plan to achieve much in the westward march, and he knew that this could only be regarded as a military operation with political objectives greater than military objectives. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the most suitable political purpose is to march westward, and this westward advance will be directly defeated, or even annihilated.

It is the first time for Zhu Youxiao to let the forces that do not belong to his own interest group be eliminated in this way.

This may be considered a very cruel conspiracy, but Zhu Youxiao had to choose to do so, just as Zhu Youxiao chose to end his career as emperor early.

However, for the current Ming Dynasty, the focus of military strategy is in the south, and Zhu Youxiao is not very concerned about the westward march, and even the military department still transfers a large number of war resources to the south in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's instructions.

In the south, warships gathered, and in the west, there was movement, and outside the north pass, it was calm.

However, in places such as Waixinganling and Miaotun in the south of Mo and Liaodong further north, it is not quiet.

Mao Wenlong and the Third Brigade of the First Army of the Praetorian Guards began to reopen the system of guards here in the Ming Dynasty shortly after arriving in Houmiaotun and Waixing'an Mountains, re-searching for some Han people who still remained here, and cutting off the Rakshasa people who occupied the magpie's nest, so as to achieve the goal of restoring the ruling order of the Ming Dynasty in this area.

Soon after, Zhu Youxiao simply made Mao Wenlong the chief military officer of Miaotun, responsible for military rule from Siberia to Miaotun Island.

But in fact, so far, he, the chief officer, can only control a few guard posts close to the outer Xing'an Mountains and Miaotun.

Of course, Mao Wenlong was not satisfied with this, his purpose was to complete Zhu Youxiao's grand goal of erecting the boundary monument of the Ming Dynasty west of the Ural Mountains, so while he stepped up the consolidation of the existing strongholds and asked the imperial court to immigrate immediately, he also sent a small group of elite troops to go farther away to investigate the situation when the weather was good, hoping to occupy these places before the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom occupied more territory.

But what Mao Wenlong didn't expect was that the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa country was indeed advancing very quickly, and they had actually reached the area of Eastern Siberia, and even fought with the Ming sentry cavalry.

And no one expected that the combat effectiveness of these Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa country was too strong, and most of these sentry cavalry were the souls of the Cossack cavalry, except for a few who were lucky enough to escape back.

According to the original historical trajectory, the Rakshasa Kingdom only had a territorial conflict with China after it completely occupied the Siberian region and its power had developed into the Outer Khing'an Mountains.

But now, the Ming Dynasty intervened in this territorial dispute in advance, and this dispute extended to Eastern Siberia, not only that, but the Ming army led by Mao Wenlong had already killed some of the Rakshasa civilians in this area because they wanted to recapture the interests of the Han people, so now they have encountered the main force of the Cossack cavalry, and a war is inevitable.

However, the fact is that the current Ming Dynasty does not have much control in this area, a large number of people are immigrants who have migrated one after another, but the army is still the Ming army with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang soldiers as the main body, they are good at guerrilla and surprise attacks, but they are not good at dealing with the world's most powerful cavalry force.

Before the Cossack cavalry reached the area of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and Miaotun, Mao Wenlong immediately withdrew the forces of the part of Eastern Siberia that he had occupied, and immediately rushed into Beijing overnight to inform Zhu Youxiao of the news that a large force of cavalry had appeared in the area of Eastern Siberia, and asked Zhu Youxiao to mobilize heavy troops to strengthen the Ming Dynasty's control in this area, at least in the area of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the goal of establishing a ruling order in the Outer Khingan Mountains and thus forming an encirclement of the Jiannu.

However, the distance from Wai Xing'an Ling to Beijing City is very far, so the current Zhu Youxiao does not know the changes in the situation in the Wai Xing'an Mountains, and he is now busy planning the next sea decisive battle with the Zheng Group.

The Ming Dynasty has now officially confirmed the strategy of first south and then north, that is, to solve the problem of the Zheng pirate group in the fastest time, so that the maritime trade of the entire Ming Dynasty can be fully developed, and the Ming Dynasty, especially the advanced productive forces represented by the Royal Weaving Bureau and the Royal Industrial Company, can completely create amazing wealth.

As long as the problem of sea trade is completely solved, the Ming Dynasty can obtain the early capital of expansion, and can change hands and come back to completely eradicate the Jiannu, the reason why the Jiannu is not eradicated now, is because the Ming Dynasty is still very tight before the sea trade has its own court to make the decision, so if you want to have enough military strength to solve the problem of Jiannu, you have to have enough financial resources.

The main fleet of the North Sea Fleet has also moved south, while the East China Sea Fleet has also begun to conduct frequent exercises in the Zhoushan area, and Gu San Mazi of the South China Sea Fleet has also been ordered to take some ships to the east along the coastline.

The Praetorian Guards stationed in Huguang, Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang also began to gather in Fujian and Zhejiang to prevent the Zheng group from landing on the beach and plundering coastal villages and towns to obtain strategic resources.

In fact, this kind of thing is already happening, the frequency of pirate raids in Fujian and Zhejiang is rapidly rising, although Zhu Youxiao has already ordered the local officials in Fujian and Zhejiang to be on guard in advance, but there is still no way to avoid some places being looted by pirates who are wandering.

After the Janissaries and others entered the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang one after another, they immediately organized patrols, arranged to disperse them in counties at all levels in Fujian and Zhejiang, and established mobile units to crack down on pirates at any time.

Not only the Praetorian Guards, but also other guards were mobilized, and they were mainly responsible for guarding and guarding some villages and market towns.

But the discipline of these guards is really very poor, I expected them to help deal with the frequent incidents of piracy, but I didn't expect that these guards were even more powerful than pirates in looting villages and houses.

In order not to lead to a popular uprising, Lu Xiangsheng, who had been transferred to the five provincial governors, had to transfer a Janissary Army to deal with incidents of soldiers and bandits violating discipline.

The corrupt military discipline of the guards was suppressed, but it also affected the Janissaline's inability to concentrate power against pirate raids.

Because of this, the incident of piracy and plundering became more and more rampant, and even the Japanese who had disappeared in the Jiajing Dynasty began to haunt the coast, and there was one more force, that is, the Western Ocean.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that the real strength of the Zheng Group was not only how strong his combat power was at sea, but that he could provoke all maritime forces to participate in the plundering of the Ming coast.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news, now there are 900 villages and towns looted, tens of thousands of fishermen have died, this is the specific money and grain loss statistics, please Your Majesty take a look", Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, handed a booklet to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh after reading it: "Isn't this going to force me to implement a sea ban?" ”
