After the elimination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Japanese State, the momentum of the Ming Dynasty swelled unprecedentedly. If he hadn't known that he was not an opponent of the republic, he would have sent troops to Shanxi a long time ago.

Seriously, according to Li Luo's report, whether Chongzhen or the Congress, every day you can hear the news of where the Republic is expanding its territory, and where and how much money it has made, which makes everyone's heart itch, but even if you want to get a piece of the pie, you are afraid that you don't have this strength.

Especially when the news came that the Republic had wiped out the Xiyi Combined Fleet and defeated 300 other people's warships, it suddenly silenced the minority clamoring for war. The navy of the Ming Dynasty may be good, but they will not be arrogant enough to fight with the Xiyi, who has been abusing the Asian forces, let alone the navy of the Republic of China.

However, since the news of the New World came, coupled with Li Luo's inquiry, the shipping route from Japan to the New World was confirmed, Chongzhen has decided to send a team to explore the New World, and it is best to settle there directly, so that it can be regarded as expanding the territory for the Ming Dynasty.

As for who to send, that's pretty much what to send.

Who will the republic send? That's naturally the prince or even the prince of the royal family!

There are many royal children and even royal children of the Ming Dynasty, right? Just send it!

A new expeditionary fleet is being formed, and even in a month or two, the navy will begin to set off for an expedition to the unknown New World.

But I don't want to, at this time, it was accurate, or it can already be confirmed, that Pseudo Shun annexed Pseudo Wu, and a new Big Mac was born. Now there are four forces in the whole of China, one is the Republic, one is the Great Wei, one is the Ming Dynasty, and the last one is the Great Shun. Of course, according to the Ming Dynasty, they are orthodox, and the other three are just pseudo-dynasties. It's just that the three puppet dynasties occupy more than 65% of the original land of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen, who is the emperor, is actually very faceless to see the ancestors and ancestors.

It's not that he doesn't want to take it back, but Dawu occupies the fattest Nanzhili, and those who have a lot of money are going to die, and there are 200,000 soldiers, each of whom is even issued with firecrackers and handguns, and even three grenades. Every town garrison, and even nearly a hundred artillery pieces, to deal with Dawu, first of all, you have to compare with him, who has more money...... There is no way, Da Ming's money at that time does not seem to be as much as Da Wu's.

So how about fighting with Da Wei? It is now clear that Great Wei seems to have submitted to the republic, and although it has not yet been merged, it seems that it is not far off. As a vassal state, if it is to attack Great Wei, it is actually the same as directly declaring war on the republic. When the time comes, whether the two sides can win is really worrying.

As for the war with the Republic...... The other party landed directly in Tianjin, believing that Beijing will change hands in a day...... On this issue, in fact, many people have been building yì and moving the capital to Shenyang. At least, it's landlocked, and it's not so easy for someone else to land.

It's just that although it is the former capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it has long been burned down by a fire, and even if there are some old city walls that have not collapsed, come to tell everyone that there was once a capital here, but now the people living in it are no more than a thousand. It's better to say it's a city than a village with ruined walls.

Moving the capital there, I feel that it is better to surrender directly to the republic.

The only thing that is thankful is that at least no one has come up with the idea of relocating to Wajima. In other words, if anyone dares to say that, it is estimated that next month's ocean-going expedition force will definitely have a part of him. Don't you like to go to another country, let him go to the New World to have fun, anyway, if he has a stronghold, he will need some officials.

Originally, I planned to wait for two years for Daming's treasury to be more fertile before starting to do it.

But I don't want such a thing to happen to Pseudo-Wu now, so that the defense of the entire Pseudo-Wu has entered a trough. The most important thing is that the pseudo-shun is afraid that he will not be able to integrate the wealth of the new territory in the first place, so it will not be too easy to quickly plunge into the war.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you don't send troops at such an opportunity, you will be sorry for yourself.

After much deliberation and two discussions in the Diet, the Ming decided to declare war on Dashun, at least to take Nanzhili back!

The army began to be reorganized, led by Sun Chuanting and Ma Xianglin, while Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were transferred to the border to ensure that in the course of the battle, the Republic and the puppet Wei would not intervene in the battle by the way.

Zheng Chenggong was not without things, he had to cruise the waters around Nanzhili to make sure that no sea ships could go to sea. At the same time, it also shoulders an important task, that is, to bypass the border guards of Nanzhili and send the army going south to the hinterland of the enemy! Yes, send the army directly to the enemy's rear, then tear a hole and keep expanding the results!

After the basic offensive was determined, the army began to regroup, and the loading began. The materials that were originally used for expeditionary expeditions could just be used for this war, and as for the matter of ocean-going expeditions, they naturally had to be put on hold for a while.

The news that Da Ming was going to make a move on Da Shun naturally spread to the republic.

Wei even got the news and sent an envoy to ask Zhang Hongbin if he wanted to do anything about Fujian or Guangdong. If you want to do it, Wei will try its best to cooperate on the land side. The meaning is very clear, the Republic also needs to attack the coastal areas of Guangdong at sea in order to contain part of the opponent's strength.

Wei was trained by the Republic, and its combat effectiveness was somewhat proportionate, using automatic rifles, and more or less equipped with some light machine guns and submachine guns. There were also large-caliber mortars in artillery, and they were even taught to use unconscionable guns. The power of the latter is even more powerful than heavy artillery, but the range is a bit maddening.

At the National Assembly, some representatives of the people said that the root of the republic is still in China, reunification is the right principle, and there is no rush for external expansion. Therefore, this is a rare opportunity, even if it is a direct war against the Ming Dynasty, it is not impossible.

It was only after discussions in the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Administration that it was confirmed that the Republic would not send troops for this campaign.

Yes, the republic will not intervene in this war between Dashun and Daming. The reason is very simple, first, the manpower and material resources of the republic have entered a stage of digestion, and second, the main focus at this stage is how to digest the new territory of Great Wei and completely integrate it into the republic. Unlike the Republic, the Great Wei still had a very strict feudal power, including the old gentry and large landowners. The Great Wei allowed private ownership of land, the republic set aside land for residence, and the rest of the land was state-owned. Therefore, if it is a direct merger, it will inevitably provoke the dissatisfaction of these forces, and even affect the old forces that cannot be resisted by the local forces for other reasons.

According to the predestination of Congress, the best time for annexation must be three years from now, when the officials of these old powers are either promoted or retired, and new officials flood the whole republic. At that time, even if the Wei State is chaotic, the Republic itself will not have any impact. Whether it is the National Assembly or the representatives of the people, they all hope that there will be no accidents in their own country, so that their fundamental interests will not be harmed. Congress is sometimes so cheating because every member of the parliament has their own interests, so sometimes they have to compromise.

As for the situation of rebellion in Wei three years later, Wei can personally act as this villain, thereby reducing the trouble after the Republic takes over. Even if everyone knows that it was instructed by the Republic, in the general environment, it doesn't make any sense.

On a discounted basis, the republic will not fight foreign wars for a period of three years. In other words, unless the enemy comes to the door, neither Wei nor the Republic will fight externally. At the very least, there will be no battles that involve increasing territory.

Just inaction at all, that's also impossible.

Therefore, the Republic decided to watch the tiger fight from the other side, watch Dashun and Daming go to war, but at the same time, when necessary, land in Shandong or Guangdong, and kidnap a group of people to fill the population shortage of the Republic. For the republic at this stage, the population is forever insufficient. Under this premise, the republic will not occupy a single city or place.

At the end of the discussion in the Congress, the navy stationed on Hainan Island and Taiwan Island was naturally notified through a special channel. They began to prepare for the first time and waited for the start of this battle.

At the same time, Daming also made complete preparations in the early stage, and the army began to board!
