Chapter 269: The Thirteenth Task Zhu Youlang's Wish 12
It has been the 46th year of Yongli to deal with the affairs of the southwest and northwest, Lu Renbing is already seventy-one years old, and everyone is waiting for him to hang up. But he is still stubbornly alive.
His cheap old lady, Empress Dowager Ma, has passed away. She lived 107, and on her deathbed she finally fulfilled her life ideals, built a church, and buried herself in the church. This custom was propagated to Zhu Cixuan, who had successfully become a priest, after he returned from the West, and it is said that Western celebrities and royal families did this.
Then Lu Renbing drove him away, and Zhu Cixuan took a large amount of gold and silver and went out to sea, and it is said that he went to the Americas.
After five years of trimming, Lu Renbing began to work on Maozi. The reason why Kangxi's army fought very hard in history was mainly a logistical problem. The Qing army's cannons were too large to be transported, and the enemy held the city. It's cold, and it's too hard.
In Lu Renbing's place, this condition is not much better, but Lu Renbing has improved his own equipment. He made a small cannon, a gun with a longer range than the opponent, and a more powerful gunpowder than the opponent.
It's still pretty simple to deal with a gang of bandits. Under the joint efforts of the warriors of all ethnic groups, the Maozi did not escape at all, and they were all killed. Lu Renbing was not as worried as Kangxi, he knew that the Russians would soon go and return, so he ordered the army to continue to march until all the Russians' eastward army was wiped out and Beihai was restored. Be sure to hit them. Isn't it good for European countries to stay directly at home?
Because of the climate, the battle was fought very slowly, and after three years of repeated fighting, Lu Renbing's army finally advanced to Siberia. At this time, Peter the Great, who was fighting with his sister for power, was not very concerned about the management of the newly occupied territories east of the Urals.
Tsarist Russia had just attacked Crimea and was about to annex Poland, so it didn't pay much attention to the desolate eastern regions. The successive defeats made both of them very sick.
In the end, Lu Renbing reached the Ural Mountains before stopping. If you fight again, it will be the core area of Tsarist Russia, and they will fight hard.
Lu Renbing is not afraid of fighting, the key is that it is not cost-effective. In the era when there was no railway, this place would basically not be able to occupy it. Too close to others, too far away from yourself. The Mongols were too weak to hold on.
Therefore, after negotiations, Lu Renbing signed the Ural Treaty, stipulating that the two countries should be bounded by the Ural Mountains. Lu Renbing drove boundary posts along the mountains all the way to the North Pole.
Take another lap along the North Pole. In this way, even if it is lost by future generations, we can still have a history since ancient times.
Anyway, Lu Renbing is very persistent in driving boundary posts, as long as he shoots down, he will hit boundary posts. Siberia and other places are really bitterly cold, and they can only be given to the local border people, no matter which ethnicity, as long as they are willing to garrison, they will be rewarded. If there is a clan that is willing to come, double the seal. Some of the commoners who came, and those who came, all of them had titles and fiefs.
In order to keep this land, Lu Renbing also made a bloody investment.
Lu Renbing really did not underestimate the countrymen's dedication to the title of land, and Lu Renbing actually placed 30,000 clans and 40,000 leaders of various clans in this land, each with a title. The people of Pingtou also sealed more than 300,000. Kind of sold the land.
Well, it was sold, except for the leaders of the various clans that needed to be wooed, the rest of the title land had to be bought for money. Otherwise, Lu Renbing would have to make up for it.
The final result was that Lu Renbing made money by blood, and even the land around the Arctic Ocean was sold. I don't know what the guy who bought that piece of land did when he bought it? Reselling polar bears to the Central Plains?
Anyway, people who have a little money in the country and a little military merit have all gone to the north to buy a knighthood, which is finally except for a piece of Lu Renbing's heart.
After the north is cleaned up, there are various forces on the Indochina Peninsula, looking at those small countries, Lu Renbing has a little headache, and then they are all sold out. Beat your own army and hire our army to fight, and it will be yours to fight it.
Save your own army from idle eggs, except for the Central Plains, which is not sealed, you can seal anything. Lu Renping's principle is to encourage people to start their own businesses. Those who are ambitious and rich should all go out, and they will be officials for officials, and they will be knights for knights, and they will ask for land to help you fight.
Anyway, just get rid of all the troubles at home, and go out to waste if you have money, power, and ambition. The world is so big, why do you have to be aggrieved here.
Anyway, those who go out have to buy boats, horses, guns, cannons, porcelain, silk, books, everything. We don't have much else here, it's just that there are a lot of these things.
As for the land that is divided, it will be independent in the end. So what does it matter? It's not yours in the first place, and it's not interesting to hold on to it, the Commonwealth model or something, isn't he fragrant? As long as the northern frontier does not secede.
In order to ensure that his grave would not be dug up after his death, Lu Renbing insisted on being the emperor to the end this time.
He asked his Academy of Sciences to study the steam engine in advance, and then began to set off the industrial revolution, with a head like cheating, almost no detours, Lu Renbing launched the industrial revolution in advance, not to develop the industry or anything, to put it bluntly, he was to consolidate his rotten rule.
Needless to say, the queen and their old concubines had already gone to heaven to serve their lord. Lu Renbing's current harem is full of beauties from the Western Regions, Northern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and all the ministries sent to the palace to marry, not to mention that there must be hundreds.
For the sake of the stability of the frontier and the long-term peace and stability of the country, the kindness of any tribe Lu Renbing cannot be refused. Those sons who want to share his worries, the tribe can't believe it, so they have to stuff it into the palace.
Lu Renbing had to drag his old body and work day and night. Alas, such a corrupt and depraved life, Lu Renbing is really, I really wish it would take some more time.
As for what his sons thought, he didn't care, and the adult sons were all sent overseas, and let them run their own land, and train them in the name of beauty. Dozens of cubs are born in the palace every year, and the production and survival rate are amazing, and the women in the harem are afraid that Lu Renbing will run into the harem.
This guy's seed vitality is amazingly high, anyway, depending on whose land is idle, Lu Renbing will go to sow seeds, and as soon as he sows seeds, he will definitely succeed. The women of the harem raise children's heads.
If you have more children, it's not worth much, and in the early days, there were still women who thought about calculating and getting a pet or something. It's a pity that Lu Renbing is like a sowing machine of feelings, and he never lets his own land be idle. All women want to make a mistake or something, so that they can be punished to the legendary cold palace and be clean for a few days.
It's a pity that this little wish can't be realized, what else to fight, just the emperor's old cucumber, whoever wants it will go.
