In the end, Orknidor chose to retreat, and the gold was gone, the food was gone, and all the other baggage was discarded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Oknido ran north non-stop with the remnants of the Cossack cavalry that he had survived.

But what Oknidor could not have imagined was that the remnants of his Cossack cavalry were now completely buried in a pocket, and had just escaped from the pursuit of the chariot battalion and the Marine infantry of the Third Army when he was again met with a frontal attack from the infantry of a brigade of the Praetorian Guard.

The Cossack cavalry, who had already become frightened birds, did not dare to despise the group of yellow dwarfs in front of them anymore!

As soon as they saw the Praetorian Guards infantry appear on the snowfield with their guns in hand, they no longer rushed forward with their swords, but immediately turned their horses and retreated in the other direction.

But not long after running from the other direction, or just past a valley pass, they were again hit by heavy fire, and the blinded Cossack cavalry had to scurry about like headless flies.

Orknidor is not paying attention to the fact that according to his previous combat experience, in this case, the losing side will surrender, and then become a prisoner of war and be killed by the victorious side.

It was clear that Orknidor did not want to admit that he had lost the war and was not willing to surrender, he now just wanted to run as far as he could, even if he was the only one left, and he would flee back to Western Siberia.

Orknidor had no choice but to order all parts to break out in order to divert fire.

But in fact, for the Cossack cavalry, who had only steel knives and backward firearms in their hands, the effect was the same.

In the outer northeastern region of Nuoda, from the forests to the rivers, and from the tundra to the valleys, the sound of gunfire and the roar of war horses resounded everywhere.

Countless Cossack cavalry were shot to the ground by the sudden arrival of the Praetorian infantry, and even one Janissary infantry dared to shoot directly at more than a dozen Cossack cavalry, prompting it to change the direction of the breakthrough.

And the Praetorian Guard's own cavalry, the Third Army, a vital force, had only just been dispatched.

Ao Bai knew about this world-famous Cossack cavalry through the military theory class of the Royal Military Academy, and he was eager to try his hand at fighting such a world-class cavalry.

But now it makes him very depressed and frustrated, and I don't know when the cavalry can only be used to sweep the tail.

The artillery and chariots that are responsible for the main killing, and even the poison gas that people can't touch and see.

Ao Bai realized that the way of war was changing, but he was reluctant to admit this fact, and he tried his best to prove that cavalry was still the most important branch of the army in the world, so he insisted on high standards and high requirements for his cavalry units of the Third Army.

Even in this kind of sweeping work, he had to demand that not a single Cossack cavalry escape, and the entire Third Army was at this time walking on the periphery of the Praetorian Guard like a keen wolf pack, and scattered in teams, and once a small group of Cossack cavalry broke through, if the number was small, it would be annihilated, and if the number was large, it would be driven directly into the encirclement, so that the infantry could be destroyed.

Since then, none of the Cossack cavalry has escaped from the encirclement of the Janissaries, and almost all the Cossack cavalry have died here, except for some of them, who had to surrender their dignity to the Ming Yellow Dwarfs they despised for fear of death.

Early the next morning, the body of the Cossack cavalry commander Oknido was also found in a dense forest somewhere in the encirclement, and it was only an ordinary Praetorian Guard soldier who was ambushed here and was only about to fire a cold gun, but he didn't want Orknidor to collide with it by chance.

Orknidor was shot in the head and died, but it is clear from the numerous fallen thorn bushes and sliding marks that Orknidor was shot in the head while riding his horse in rapid motion.

This is the individual quality of the Janissaries infantry!

Although they may be inferior in physique to these tall Cossack cavalrymen, with their abundant nutritional supply, even an ordinary soldier can shoot a fast-moving cavalry in the head through the reflection of the snow, without allowing Orknido to escape due to night blindness and negligence in firearms.

Of course, the coincidental success of sniping Orknidor at night cannot rule out the element of chance.

……

Only two days after the whole battle began, tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry marching into Eastern Siberia were annihilated by the 100,000 Janissaries in the outer northeast.

This was something that the Cossack cavalry themselves could not have imagined in any way.

This cavalry, which traversed the entire Eurasian continent, would have to face the crushing of the time gap, and also became the first European army to be conquered by the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the situation in the outer northeast was resolved, and the superintendent Lu Xiangsheng also arrived at Miaojie City in the afternoon of this day, and after meeting with Mao Wenlong and Zhu Guozheng, he began to dispatch various units of the Praetorian Guard to take advantage of the opportunity to recover other lost territories and occupy parts of Eastern Siberia.

At this time, the East Siberian region was the only remaining middle ground between the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty.

The Rakshasa State marched eastward, spearheaded by the Cossack cavalry, first by force, and then by establishing administrative order.

Now Eastern Siberia had just been occupied by the Cossack cavalry, so it had not yet had time to be fully Europeanized by the Rakshasa state.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng took advantage of this situation to immediately send the Third Army of the Praetorian Guard Cavalry to occupy this part of the area first, and choose a critical place to build a castle to prepare for future immigration.

The current share income of the Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers is basically in Huangzhuang, and Huangzhuang is now the largest agricultural reclamation group in the Ming Dynasty, and the amount of land it owns will determine the harvest of Huangzhuang, and also determine the income of these Royal Praetorian Guard officers.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng and other officials of the Praetorian Guard system supported Zhu Youxiao's policy of foreign expansion.

What's more, everyone knows that once the war is over, it is the members of the army who suffer the most.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not want to start the road of external expansion.

The main reason for this is that this south-north operation has just ended, and the troops urgently need to rest and recuperate.

In addition, there is still a westward expedition going on, and the tax revenue of the sea trade has been deported to Beijing, so the difference between the treasury expenditure and the income of the Ming Dynasty has begun to expand.

Coupled with continuous fighting, both the army and the people were tired, so Zhu Youxiao had to suspend further expansion.

What's more, there are still two forces in the north that need to be solved urgently, one is Jiannu, and the other is the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan.

Zhu Youxiao has never relaxed his vigilance against Jiannu, and the frequency of Jinyiwei's activities in Jiannu has never decreased.

In Monan, the land was changed and many traitors were corrected, coupled with the increasingly powerful Praetorian Guard of the Ming Dynasty, the current Jiannu seems to have no former vitality.

At this time, the Jiannu country can probably be divided into two forces, one is the yellow flag and the white flag, such as Huang Taiji and Dolgon and other Manchu nobles are still stubborn, hoping to compete with the Ming Dynasty again in the future.

One is that the Manchu nobles represented by Zhenglanqi and others began to gradually lose their fighting spirit to plot against the Central Plains, and began to be content with pleasure under the assimilation of the Han bureaucracy.

In fact, in the original history, there had always been disagreements among the Manchu nobles about whether to enter the customs and occupy the Central Plains, and not all Manchu nobles were ambitious.

What's more, even the Manchu nobles themselves at that time were not sure that they could become the masters of the world, if it were not for Li Zicheng's Dashun regime too far away from the landlord and gentry group, resulting in the Han big landlords and big bureaucrats colluding with them, I am afraid that the Manchus would not be able to seize the country.

And now, the Ming Dynasty has the image of Zhongxing, the force is strong, and the Manchu nobles who built slaves are more aware that they can't take the Ming Dynasty, and with the addition of a large number of Han people, these Han people who can even lose their national integrity can not expect to have any good guiding role, which will naturally bring the extravagant style of the late Ming scholars to Jiannu.

As a result, many Manchu nobles not only lost their hard work style of drinking blood, but also became vassals and elegant, raising flowers and amusing birds.

Some Manchu nobles followed Nurhachi to possess a lot of the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and now they are exploiting millions of serfs in northern Liaoning.

In addition, some ambitious and unscrupulous traitors who tried their best to advocate the Manchu aristocracy to plot against the Central Plains and relied on the help of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to shine in the annals of history were successively eliminated by the Jinyi Guard, so most of the Jiannu Han bureaucrats who can stay now are sloppy people.

When a regime loses its enterprising spirit, it begins to fall into division and infighting, as is the case with Jiannu now.

Huang Taiji is still unwilling to be a Caotai emperor by himself, and can only be a cold king in a bitter cold land.

Therefore, Huang Taiji still wants to fight hard, accumulate strength, and prepare for him to continue to plunder the pass in the future.

Dolgon, who maintained the same attitude, was still trying his best to plan how to increase his power to build slaves, but in Dorgon's view, it was not a question of whether he could destroy the Ming Dynasty, but whether the Ming Dynasty would destroy himself.

The Ming Dynasty now controls the southern part of the country and the outer northeast, as well as the mouth of the sea in Liaodong, Rao is the Jiannu at this time, no matter how busy he is with the integration of internal contradictions and his own development, it is impossible for no one to realize that his Qing Dynasty has fallen into a situation surrounded by the Ming Dynasty on all sides.

And Dolgon is naturally the one who understands this, so although there is also a gap between him and Huang Taiji, in order to keep his foundation in the Qing Dynasty, he will do his best to support Huang Taiji to continue to develop, and he is ready to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty at any time.

Although many Manchu aristocrats who were content with the status quo did not want to go to great lengths to train in horseback archery and even firearms and artillery, the Qing Ordnance Institute of Jiannu still produced a lot of flintlock pistols, and even equipped a flintlock pistol unit with a size of 10,000 people, and even a lot of artillery.

In addition, Huang Taiji and others also mobilized serfs to strengthen the city walls on the basis of the original city of the Ming Dynasty, and continued to strengthen the training of elite soldiers because of their own small population.

That is to say, because there are still some Manchu nobles who maintain an enterprising spirit, the current Jiannu has not completely degenerated, and its Eight Banners army still has the strength to fight, and even organized firearms and artillery troops.

In addition, Huang Taiji's series of reform measures to rest with the people also enabled it to achieve basic self-sufficiency and reserve certain strategic materials.

……

As for the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, this person was also an ambitious person, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty was busy exterminating the Zheng Zhilong pirate group and exterminating the Outer Northeast, Lin Dan Khan also accelerated the pace of unifying the other Mongolian departments.

Even at this time, when the Ming Dynasty went west to conquer Hamiwei, it attracted a large number of Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area as an alliance, and it was very likely that the Ming Dynasty was now provoking the northwest war as the reason to start a war with the Ming Dynasty.

But whether it is Jiannu or the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, Zhu Youxiao has no time to deal with these two elbows and armpits at this time.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has begun to show its prominence in the world, it has also offended many of the so-called powers at this time, such as Baron Turia, who forcibly took back the right of residence in Macao and beheaded the Francois on the grounds of extraterritoriality, which will inevitably cause the wrath of the Franco, and no one is sure that the Francophone will not retaliate against the Ming Dynasty and provoke a war with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, now that the Cossack cavalry has been completely annihilated and has occupied Eastern Siberia, it represents the official escalation of the contradiction between the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa State, a Western power.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that there were some things that needed to be done, otherwise Zhu Youxiao was not sure that he would not be provoked by other foreign forces when he cleaned up the two strong enemies in front of the house.

Because of the upcoming Wanshou Festival and the fact that there will be envoys from various countries to pay tribute, Zhu Youxiao did not let Lu Xiangsheng directly execute these captured Cossack cavalry in the outer northeast.

Instead, these Cossack prisoners of war were escorted to the city of Beijing.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to use the heads of these Cossack prisoners of war to make a show, so as to show the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty to these people who visited the Ming Dynasty or stayed in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Oriental and Nanyang people.

Galileo, who had been in the Ming Dynasty for two months, was specially invited to the noon gate as a foreigner of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

It was not only Galileo but also other foreigners, such as the students from the Kyoto University, the merchants and envoys from various countries who stayed in the capital, and many missionaries.

In short, almost all the outsiders in the capital were invited to the noon gate.

And Zhu Youxiao let them come to the noon gate for only one purpose, that is, to execute these captured Cossack cavalry in front of these outsiders.

The Cossack cavalry is a powerful army in the world, especially for the West, like a demonic existence.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao wanted to inform these outsiders of the news that the Ming Praetorian Guard had defeated the Cossack cavalry and captured more than 100 Cossack cavalry, so that they could bring the news back to their own country to understand the true strength of the Ming Empire.

"This is the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa country, why is it that at this moment they are also tied to the column like prisoners of war."

Galileo was not a nerd, although he lived in Florence all the year round, he also visited other countries in Europa in his early years, and he was naturally aware of the bravery of the Cossack cavalry, and even saw the slaughter of a manor by the Cossack cavalry, so he recognized these prisoners of war as Cossacks as soon as he looked up.

But Galileo did not expect that these Cossacks would become prisoners of the empire and seemed to be waiting to be judged for their crimes.
