1o-1 declares war

Liu Ziguang is worried that he didn't go out of Beijing to avoid Liu Rus, a great opportunity will come to the door, and this time it is not okay to go out, the countries in the east, west and north of the Ming Dynasty submitted the war table to the imperial court at the same time, and an unprecedented war is about to begin.

The envoys of the Western Xia, Manchu and Goryeo were handed over the battle table, and they came to participate in the canonization ceremony of the empress dowager just by the way, mainly to declare war, but people know the rules very well, salute first and then soldiers, and submit the war table after participating in the ceremony.

Needless to say, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Kangxi Xiao'er was disfigured by Liu Ziguang, this hatred cannot be resolved in any way, a war is inevitable, as for Western Xia and Goryeo, although there was no tragic war with the Ming Dynasty, it is also a potential threat.

First of all, the Western Xia, this name is called by the Ming people, people themselves do not call it so, the official name is the Great Xia Khanate, both the characteristics of the orthodox dynasty, and the taste of the Mongols, yes, the Western Xia is the Mongol dynasty of the main body, their Khan is named Galdan, is a legendary figure, since he was a child went to the Tibetan Buddha country as a small living Buddha, when his tribe Erut Mongolian Dzungar Department was infighting, after his brother Sangha was killed, Galdan resolutely returned to his hometown, led the old department of the monk to start a fierce battle with the enemy and won a great victory.

Although Galdan was born as a lama, he was extremely capable of military affairs. In all kinds of war, he had proper strategy and tactics, decisive command, fearlessness, and fought hard; Therefore, every battle must be won, and he will "not have a target", thus establishing high prestige. His aim was not only to avenge the Sangha, but also to create a unified Mongol empire that was not dependent on any political power, as Genghis Khan had done. Therefore, he adopted the strategy of long-distance and close attack, and launched a series of conquest wars against the surrounding small tribes, and continued to grow his strength.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and the Central Plains was in flames, the Western Regions were also shrouded in the clouds of war, and the powerful Dzungar Ministry received great help from the Tubo State.

On the one hand, he continued to seek the aid of Tibet, and implemented the Tubo Yellow Religion in the ruling area, on the other hand, he vigorously carried out trade with the East, and constantly obtained excellent ironware, tea, cloth, grain, advanced technology, etc. in the Han ruled area, Shaanxi was his good partner, and even in order to ensure the smooth passage of this channel, he sent a cavalry to help Zhou Zhenglong, the governor of Shaanxi, resist the attack of the Manchus.

The Dzungar Khanate, which had been nourished by the advanced Han culture, began to manage the Huijiang and further west areas south of the Tianshan Mountains, and Galdan personally led his troops to occupy Hami and Turpan, and then fought westward to the Caspian Sea.

During this period, the nomadic land of the Dzungar Khanate, reaching the Altai Mountains in the north, the vast nomadic areas of the Kazakhs south of Lake Balkhash in the west, the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in the east, and also ruled the vast areas south of the Tianshan Mountains.

Although he was born as a lama and a nomadic people, he was very yearning for Han culture, and his subordinates collected many Han strategists and craftsmen, and changed the name of the country to Xia, self-proclaimed emperor of the Xia Dynasty, this Xia and the Xia Dynasty established by the party during the Song Dynasty is different, and the Xia Dynasty during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors is a little connected, Galdan takes Chinese culture as the main Shuo, and the domestic architecture and official system are all Han system, reuse the Han people, and intend to go east to seek the world.

At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had subdued the Chahar Department and the Horqin Department of Northern Mongolia, and the Manchu and Mongolian families were close, and the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty was herself the princess of the Horqin Department, so she and the Xia Dynasty could barely be regarded as the same kind of culture, although there was a small friction before, but everyone could still sit together and talk in front of interests.

The country of the Han people has always been a big fat meat in the eyes of nomads, and Nanming is no exception, especially in recent years, Nanming's economy has developed rapidly, and overseas trade has earned a lot of silver, especially the land in the south of the Yangtze River, with a large population and economy, and the climate is also very suitable.

With the strategic center of gravity of His Majesty Emperor Galdan moved eastward, the capital of the Xia Dynasty also moved to Lanzhou not far from Xi'an, Galdan met with the envoys of the Manchu Qing in Ningxia, discussed the major affairs of the world, and agreed that the war against the Southern Ming Dynasty was imminent, because the Ming Dynasty had recently won several wars at home and abroad, and the vitality was greatly restored, and the morale was also very high, and in the near future there will definitely be a northern expedition or a westward expedition, rather than waiting for the Ming people to be fully prepared to start the war, it is better to take the initiative to attack and advance the war into the enemy's territory.

I heard that the Ming Dynasty has produced several fierce generals in recent times, and also made advanced weapons, which made Galdan dare not take it lightly, you must know that the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty but it took the old nose to exert effort, and the tenacity of the Han people should not be underestimated, in order to ensure the victory of the war, he chose to form an alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty together. After the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, everyone would have it by heart.

The Xia Dynasty army is strong, there are many people, in addition to the Mongols, there are many concave eyes and high noses of foreign people, all of them are soldiers recruited from the Western Regions, they are mostly nomadic people, the body tolerance is very strong, plus years of conquest, experience, combat effectiveness is not trivial, the momentum is even more incomparable to the Manchu lovers who have been defeated in successive battles, so that when the Manchu envoy Lord Mingzhu inspected the Western Xia cavalry, he had some doubts about whether it was a wrong decision to form an alliance with the Western Xia, look at this way, It seems that it is the right way to form an alliance with Nanming to fight against Western Xia.

There is also an ally is located in the east of the Shandong Peninsula Goryeo State, Goryeo is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the first leader is called the King of Goryeo, absolutely can not be called the emperor, the daughter-in-law can only be called the princess, even the year name and the Ming Dynasty take the same, whenever the old king dies, Wang Shizi takes over, but also the Ming Emperor must send a messenger to take the edict to canonize it before the formalities are officially completed, every year the kingdom must send a messenger to comfort the vassal king, whenever this time the king has to personally welcome out of the capital, kneel under the Cheng'en Gate outside the city to receive the envoy of the country.

Goryeo is often bullied by the Wa Kingdom in the east, so it needs the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, but since the rise of the Manchu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has no energy to take care of this little brother, the current King of Goryeo is named Li Liang, is an extremely wise monarch, he is clearly to the Ming and the Manchu Qing are vain, behind the back to accumulate strength, trying to become bigger, sending spies to steal the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty is from his orders, in the city of Nanjing resident Goryeo Tai Hospital mission is also on the surface to learn, secretly steal all kinds of advanced technology of the secret spies.

The ambition of the king of Goryeo was very ambitious, that is, to establish the great Goryeo Empire, and to trample the Wa Kingdom, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty under his feet, of course, this was only a secret buried in the minds of some of the "Shilin faction" elites in Goryeo, and in the secret negotiations with the Manchu Qing, Li Liang only said that he wanted to get rid of the status of a vassal and ask for the title of emperor.

After three rounds of secret discussions, the Western Xia, Manchu, and Goryeo finally formed a written agreement in the city of Beijing, and the three kingdoms jointly sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Xia attacked from the west, mainly attacking Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan; The Manchus pressed down from the north and went south along the Shandong line; Goryeo dispatched a naval army to contain it immediately, and after the matter was completed, the three kingdoms will always be a state of brothers, sharing the jade silk children of the Han people, and the world of flowers.

Whether it was Galdan of the Xia Dynasty, or Kangxi of the Manchu Dynasty, or Li Liang of Goryeo, they all felt that they were a dignified hero and disdained to do a surprise attack, so they sent envoys to salute first and then soldiers, and participated in the canonization ceremony of the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty decently, and then showed a hideous face and declared war against the Ming Dynasty together.

To be honest, their decision was right, even if they didn't come to fight Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao would go to beat them, according to the original plan, when the situation in the country was calmed down, the food and salary were sufficient, and the soldiers had trained well, they would cut them one by one, and people were not willing to honestly wait to be cut, and there was nothing wrong with striking first.

However, the ministers of the cabinet still quoted scriptures and scolded the three foreign envoys who declared war, especially the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, who was scolded for his blood, over the years, the Ming Dynasty has not been thin on them, and several times the Japanese people are about to destroy the country, it is the Ming Dynasty who sent troops to help them clean up the mess, and now it is good, and the grace will take revenge.

Zhu Youxiao was also angry enough, he didn't expect people to do it first, he wasn't ready, he was originally going to develop a high-off-road wind and fire four-wheeled vehicle suitable for use in the western Gobi Desert, but he didn't improve it at all after patronizing and playing, and now everyone has hit the door.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms did not leave after declaring war, and stood on the main hall waiting for Daming's reply, because their declaration of war was conditional, and if Daming agreed to their conditions, it would be okay to fight without fighting.

The conditions offered by the Western Xia were to cede Shaanxi and Sichuan to them, and to pay a tribute of 10 million taels of silver to the Great Xia every year, and the conditions offered by the Manchu Qing were to ask for the heads of the two provinces of Shandong and Henan and the war criminal Liu Ziguang.

This kind of condition is deliberately set out just to show the righteousness of my war, to show that I have not given you a chance, and that I fought you because you did not cherish this opportunity. Zhu Youxiao was furious and maintained the demeanor of an emperor, and sneered: "Your appetite is not small, I actually heard that there is someone who wants to suppress the head of Marquis Wu, come here, go and pass Liu Aiqing and ask him if he is willing to give it." ”
