The senior monk Yabanzhida spoke for a long time, and felt that he had said everything that should be said, so he said goodbye and left, and the rising sun sent him far away.

"Hongyuan, some of the monk's words can be listened to, and some you can't listen to." Ma Yingkui waited for Yabanzhida to leave the tent as soon as he hurriedly said to Li Dingguo.

"Brother Shouqing, I think what the senior monk said is reasonable, what words can't be listened to?" Li Dingguo asked suspiciously.

"It's the part where the Metropolitan Governor is the emperor, let me tell you, don't mention these words in the future in the face of the Metropolitan Governor, there were many people in our old division who were locked up because they wanted the Metropolitan Governor to be the emperor." Ma Yingkui said.

Seeing that Li Dingguo was still thinking, Ma Yingkui continued: "The Metropolitan Governor said that the world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one family and one surname, you just remember this." ”

Li Dingguo and Ma Yingkui did not have time to continue the discussion, and the Kulen direction concentrated 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry on the Mongols to make a final fight with the Wehrmacht, and now that the army had approached the Wehrmacht garrison, the combat operations had to be arranged immediately.

However, before the start of the war, someone had to be sent to negotiate, a soldier named Dele of the Mongolian cavalry battalion in Li Dingguo's army volunteered to go to Kulun as an envoy, Dele just wanted to tell the Mongol princes that the Wehrmacht army was not something they could resist, and in order to keep the strong men among the Mongols, it was best not to go to war with the Wehrmacht.

Li Dingguo is a little reluctant, these current Mongolian princes have no bottom line, and the Mongols who have received help from the Wehrmacht on the steppe will be wiped out, not to mention the Mongols who have joined the Wehrmacht? Most of Dele's departures are without return.

But Dele rushed to Cullen without hesitation, and three days later, Delle's head was returned.

The Mongol princes succeeded in angering Li Dingguo and Ma Yingkui, and also succeeded in sending tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry to death

Uncontrollable anger, Li Dingguo and Ma Yingkui no longer had scruples, and more than 30,000 horses from the two divisions went straight to Kulun.

The battle that followed was not the slightest bit of suspense. With the exception of more than 3,000 Mongol cavalry who fled from Kulen, the Mongols lost almost all of their elite troops.

Liu Wenxiu and Ainengchi led the cavalry division, led by the Mongolian cavalry battalion, and pursued the fleeing Mongolian cavalry all the way to Lake Baikal.

The fall of the Mongol army meant that there was no longer a force in the steppe that could stop the advance of the Wehrmacht, and the two divisions were scattered in battalions across the steppe.

More than a month after the Battle of Kulen, a large number of officials who had rushed from Beijing finally arrived at Kulen, where they were to establish a provincial government. Li Dingguo was appointed as the first governor of the Mongolian province.

Except for Bulbutai and the little emperor of Shunzhi, who were still hiding in Tibet on the Haochen Chahar steppe, the entire Mongolian steppe was basically settled at this time.

Just when Li Dingguo and Ma Yingkui pacified the Mongolian steppe, Liu Zhaoji personally led an army to advance into Xinjiang.

The First Army, led by Wang Zecheng's cavalry division, left Yumen Pass in the west, crossed Xingxing Gorge, and opened the prelude to marching into Xinjiang along the foot of Qilian Mountain.

Skirmishes continued, but no one could stop the advance of the First Army, and by September, Lou Ting's cavalry division had reached the banks of the Yilie River.

Luo Jian did not expect that the first clash with the Russians would take place near Lake Baikal.

The battle was provoked by Ainengchi. More than 2,000 Mongol cavalry fled across Lake Baikal, and Ainench led more than 2,000 cavalry in hot pursuit, all the way across Lake Baikal, and the Mongol cavalry fled into the camp of the Russians (near present-day Irkutsk), and after ordering the Russians to hand over the Mongol cavalry to no avail, Ainench launched a direct attack on the Russian camp.

In this battle, the more than 500 Russian Yaksa cavalry in the camp were beaten and fled, but the Mongol cavalry escaped again.

The Mongol cavalry continued to flee north, giving Ainengchi an excuse to continue the pursuit. The Russian troops, who arrived later, again engaged in a fierce battle with Ainengch, and the Russian army was defeated and retreated again.

Liu Wenxiu, who arrived later, joined forces with Ai Nengqi. The two brothers, with more than 6,000 cavalry, marched north along the Lena River until the logistical ammunition supply was completely unable to keep up, and the two brothers stopped, by which time the Wehrmacht had reached the vicinity of Yakutsk.

After hearing that Liu Wenxiu and Ainengchi had reached the vicinity of Yakutsk, Luo Jian had a new idea, that is, to use the Lena River as a border with Russia. Divide Siberia equally with Russia.

Although most people did not agree with Luo Jian's idea, Luo Jian, who had the support of Shi Kefa, made up his mind, and the supplies from Beijing began to be transported to Kulen in a steady stream, and from Kulen to the banks of the Lena River.

At the same time, Yan Yingyuan's three armies set out from the northeast. By the summer of 1652, the Russians east of the Lena River had been completely driven out, and in August of the same year, the first border negotiations with the Russians were launched on the shores of Lake Baikal.

The delegation with Zou Maodi as the negotiating ambassador eventually signed the Baikal Treaty with the Russians, which defined the two countries as the boundary between the Lena River, and thus a large area of land east of the Lena River, including the Novosibirsk Islands in the north and the Bering Strait in the east, was included in China's territory, and the Sea of Okhotsk became China's inland sea.

In the summer of 1652, Liu Zhaoji personally led a division to Kashgar, and Lou Ting's cavalry division also arrived on the shores of Lake Balkhash, which soon turned Lake Balkhash into an inland lake in China.

The pace of Wehrmacht's expansion to the north continued until June 1653, when the northern boundary was finally finalized, and by this time China's land area had exceeded 15 million square kilometers, excluding Tibet, far exceeding the territory of another time and space during the heyday of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Luo Jian has been busy expanding his territory, and Liu Lan has been busy preparing for the establishment of two universities in the past two years, and has been running back and forth between Beijing and Nanjing.

The names of the two universities were finally named after "Lan Jian" and "Jian Ran", and the cabinet meeting unanimously approved the naming of the two universities except for Luo Jian, which made Luo Jian both amused and helpless.

The situation on the northern border finally stabilized, and Luo Jian began to focus on Japan.

After Sakai Tadakatsu bought back 3,000 rifles from China, the Japanese shogunate began to unify Japan by force.

What Tokugawa Iemitsu did not expect was that the unified action met with fierce resistance from the daimyo, and almost using the same equipment of the daimyo launched a protracted war with the shogunate army, and the entire Japanese archipelago began to be full of smoke, and the Japanese archipelago seemed to have returned to the Warring States period.

If there is one pure land in Japan, it is Nagasaki.

At present, the port of Nagasaki has begun to take shape, and the area of the concession is constantly increasing. In order to continue purchasing weapons from China, the shogunate had to extend the concession to three hundred years, which made both Luo Jian and Shi Kefa determined to build Nagasaki into a prosperous overseas city.

With the secret establishment of the Japanese working group in Nanjing, the war on the Japanese archipelago became more and more intense, but no matter how it was fought, people found that no matter which side could not have an absolute advantage, the army of the shogunate had been advancing smoothly, but with the rapid improvement of the weapons and equipment of the daimyo army, the advantage of the shogunate was quickly neutralized, and with the weakening of military power, the shogunate's dominance over Japan became weaker and weaker.

Although the financial situation of the Nanjing government has been fundamentally improved, Luo Jian and Shi Kefa still work in the old houses of the former Nanming, but some repairs have been made to these houses.

With the completion of the first thermal power plant outside Nanjing, electric lights have now been installed in these old houses.

Shi Kefa was in the office watching a group of technicians install a telephone in his office, and with the precedent of a walkie-talkie and some basic scientific knowledge, Shi Kefa was not surprised by the telephone.

After the technician installed the phone and left, Shi Kefa picked up the microphone on the telephone, shook the crank a few times, and then said, "Please answer 001." ”

001 was the phone in Luo Jian's office, and after a while, Luo Jian's voice came from the microphone: "Hello, who is it?" ”

"Xinghua, hurry up and come over, there is news from them again." Shi Kefa said into the microphone.

"I said Brother Xian, our offices are next to each other, you go out and shout much faster than you call, right?" Luo Jian stood at the door of Shi Kefa's office and said with a smile.

"Well, isn't that just pretending? I'll just try to see if it works. Shi Kefa said with a smile.

"What's the news of them?" Luo Jian asked.

"Come, Xinghua, sit down, Shi Lang and they only returned from North America yesterday, you are not in the office, Shi Lang reported the situation to me, it seems that we must increase our help to them." Shi Kefa said with some concern.

"Brother Xian, what's going on over there?" Hearing Shi Kefa say this, Luo Jian was also worried, and hurriedly asked.

"Xinghua, come and see here." Shi Kefa led Luo Jian to the world map hanging on the wall.

"Here, didn't Wu Sangui fail to go to the West Coast after he arrived in North America?" Shi Kefa said.

"yes, didn't you let him push west from the land? What's going on? Hearing Shi Kefa's words, Luo Jian also began to worry.

"But no, Wu Sangui and they encountered strong resistance from the Europa people after they arrived here, listening to Shi Lang, these Europa people also use similar weapons as Wu Sangui and them, and they also have the support of some countries in Europa, and now they are in a stalemate here." Scofa said, pointing to the Mississippi River on the map.

"Brother Xian, what do you think? Why don't we give them some of our new rifles and artillery? Luo Jian thought for a while and said.

"Xinghua, are you at ease?" Shi Kefa stared at Luo Jian and asked.

"Brother Xian, what's so worrying about this? You don't know yet, do you? They have already developed a machine gun. Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Really? That's great! My opinion on this matter is that we should help them sooner rather than later, and we must help them as soon as possible. Now the most fundamental problem of the Ming Kingdom is that the population is too small, if the equipment is no longer dominant, they may not have an advantage in competing with the Europa people for the North American continent. Shi Kefa said.

Of course, Luo Jian also knows the problem that Shi Kefa said, but now that China's territory is so large, its own population density is very low, and it is no longer realistic to immigrate to North America, not to mention that the country has been stabilized, and the people's lives are improving day by day, who will run to North America thousands of miles away if they have nothing to do?
