Chapter 384: The Appreciation of the Prince of the Great Qing Dynasty (Asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)

The river is rushing through it. Maybe it's a few spring rains, or maybe it's the melting snow from the Tien Shan Mountains that turns into thousands of streams and waterfalls, which rush down together and join the Syr Darya, one of the two mother rivers in the middle of the river. The water level of this great river, which nourishes the land within the river in the center of the world island, finally swelled, rolling and rolling all the way west, rushing to the Aral Sea, bringing infinite vitality to the valleys, cities, and grasslands along the way. It has also made this land the most valuable territory in the whole of Central Asia!

On the south bank of the Syr Darya River, on the walls of a rather old and dilapidated looking city, the Great Mongol Kangxi Khan and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, who had just arrived with his troops, was walking along the walls of the ancient city with Wu Shicong, who had arrived more than a month earlier than him, and Prince Akbar, the governor of Amir Khan, and the multilingual Urut and Zhuo from India. Behind a few people, there were a large group of guards in yellow vests.

Outside the city, there are green wheat fields on both sides of the Syr Darya River, and the Tuntian soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu all wear hats to weed in the fields. Farther away from the Syr Darya River, there is an endless grassland, covered with yurts, large and small, and countless cattle, sheep and horses, walking happily on the steppe as endless as the sea.

On the south bank of the Syr Darya River, a little further away from the city of Khujand and the camp of the "Mongol army", there were also numerous tents—another military camp, the main camp of the Bukhara-Khiva-Persian army.

Although the two Central Asian khanates were both Sun-N countries with the Ottoman Sultan as their suzerain, their territory was separated from the Ottoman Empire by the Caspian Sea after all, so it was difficult for the Ottoman army to cross the sea. The real extraterritorial powers that could intervene in the river were Persia and the powerful nomadic khanates from the Mughal steppe.

When the khans of the Bukhara and Khiva khanishes found themselves powerless to defend themselves against the invaders from the steppes, they immediately sent an envoy to the Safavid dynasty in Persia for help.

Although today's Persia has ascended the throne twice (not ousted from power and then come to power, but after the first accession to the throne, the great mage of the Heavenly Sect pinched his fingers and counted, and the time to ascend the throne was wrong, so he picked an auspicious day for the Heavenly Sect to ascend the throne for the second time), and the rule of Suleiman I, who was still unlucky, has been declining, but the old foundation of the Safavid Dynasty, known as the Third Persian Empire, is still there.

Therefore, Shah Suleiman I, who had been working in the harem all day long, decided to provide military and economic assistance to the two khanates in the middle of the river to help them defend against the great Mongols again. It's no joke that this Mongolia is great again!

When Mongolia was great for the first time, Persia was "killed" by the Mongols here, and an Ilkhanate was created. It almost turned Persia into a Buddhist or Christian country!

Later, the Persian Celestial Sect was preserved, but the Mongols still rode on the Persians' necks to make a fortune, and it was not until the decline of the Timurid Empire that the Persians got a chance to turn over. And it wasn't until the establishment of the Safavid dynasty more than a hundred years ago that Persia "returned to the world", how many years has it been? Why is Mongolia "great" again?

You can't leave it alone!

Therefore, Suleiman I, who was supposed to lie down in the harem and enjoy happiness, in order to be able to sustain his own absurdity, this time he broke his blood and sent not only a team led by the British adventurer Robert I. More than 50 years ago, Shelly helped train the new army trained by Abbas I (it was quite new 50 years ago), and also sent the old Turkmen Little Red Riding Hood Army, which everyone wore a sharp Little Red Riding Hood, and once swept through Persia 167 years ago with the founding ancestor of the Safavid Dynasty, "Sima Yi I"!

In the first month, Wu Shicong sent someone to Kangxi to carry an urgent military report, which said that the Persian army was about to arrive.

And this great battle between the Great Mongolia (Great Qing) - Golden Horde (Dzungaria) and Chagatai Khanate (Wu Zhou) against the Persian-Bukhara-Khiva alliance in the area of Khujand against the Persian-Bukhara-Khiva alliance was obviously a key battle to determine the ownership of the river.

There were also two spectators in this battle, one was the "Catholic Observation Group" headed by Nan Huairen, and the other was the "Hindustan Observation Group" led by Akbar and Aamir Khan - the purpose of this expedition jointly launched by the Qing Dynasty and Wu Zhou was to seize some territory in Central Asia as a retreat, that is, to open up the Western Regions Trade Road again to earn some living expenses.

The key to the success of the Western Regions trade route lies not only in Central Asia, but also in Europe and India.

And the combat effectiveness of this so-called Great Mongolia also determines the degree of cooperation between Europe and India. Especially India!

The group had already walked along the walls of Khujand for a while, from the city of Khujand, on the side of the Syr Darya River, to the south of the city, facing the camp of the Persian-Bukhara-Khiva tripartite alliance.

At this time, in the open grassland south of Khujand, a great battle is about to begin!

The vanguard cavalry of both sides was already chasing and fighting on the steppe. The cavalry of the Persian, Bukhara, and Khiva kingdoms had quite high-quality horses, which were fast and powerful, while their opponents were only relatively short Mongol horses. It seems that the advantage of cavalry should be on the side of the combined forces of Persia, Bukhara, and Khiva. But the scene on the battlefield at this time was that the cavalry of the Great Mongol Alliance riding a short war horse had an overwhelming advantage.

I saw the Wu Zhou lancers armed with extra-long bamboo spears in a team of dozens of horses, or in a horizontal formation, or in a phalanx, rushing back and forth on the open battlefield, smashing groups of cavalry groups of Persia, Bukhara, and Khiva that had almost turned into frightened birds one by one - although these cavalry rode better quality war horses, they could not give full play to the advantage of speed when they fought in groups, and unless they scattered and fled, they could escape with the advantage of speed.

And once these Persian, Bukhara, and Khiva cavalry disperse, they will become the target of Kangxi Khan's white-armored cavalry and Dzungar musketeers!

Kangxi's white-armored cavalry is the best at hand-to-hand combat, they often ride in a group, once they see the enemy's scattered cavalry, they will follow up, first hang behind their backs and release arrows, drive them to keep running, and when their horsepower is exhausted, then pounce on them to solve the battle with hand-to-hand combat or close-range "face shooting"!

The Dzungar musketeers under the command of Anukodun performed equally well!

Their role on the battlefield was not to line up to shoot, but to lure the enemy for Wu Zhou's lancers - they would often line up in horizontal formations, holding muskets lit with arquebuses, advance to the vicinity of the enemy's cavalry group, and then fire a volley, kill a few count, and retreat when the battle is over, if the enemy's cavalry does not pursue, then they will reload and come again. If they pursued, the Dzungar musketeers would shoot arrows while leading the enemy to the vicinity of Wu Zhou's group of lancers

The outpost battle of the cavalry of both sides alone has already caused heavy losses to the cavalry of Persia, Bukhara, and Khiva!

Seeing that his cavalry had the upper hand, the infantry troops who were lining up on the side of the Great Mongolian Alliance naturally boosted their morale.

On the battlefield, "Wan Sheng!" Wan Sheng" cheers came and went.

Kangxi Khan was really proud to see this scene, and asked Prince Akbar and Aamir Khan, who were wearing Mongolian-style robes, with a smile: "What do you think of my Great Mongolian cavalry?" ”

Aamir Khan hurriedly picked up a thumbs up, and said with admiration: "Strong, it's really strong, the minister finally opened his eyes this time!" It turns out that this is how the invincible iron cavalry of my Great Mongolian Kingdom fights! ”

Aurangzeb's favorite son, Prince Akbar, was still a little reassured, and he frowned and said to Kangxi Khan: "Great Khan, are you sending too few infantry?" The enemy had more than 50,000 infantry, including the famous Persian New Army and Turkmen Red Heads, while you sent less than 20,000 infantry, and the formation was thin. ”

The prince is still a very good language learner, he didn't speak Mongolian when he left Delhi last time, but now he can speak an authentic Mongolian with a curry flavor.

Kangxi listened a little hard, but he could still understand the general situation, and laughed immediately: "It's just some local chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable." He turned his head again and said to Wu Shicong with a smile: "Yushuai Anda, how about you still command the whole army today, and Galdan Anda commands the cavalry?" ”

"Okay, then I'll be covered!" Wu Shicong was not polite, patted his chest and took the order, and led his escort down to command the battle.

Kangxi has now learned to make progress with an open mind, although he also set up an infantry army with a full flintlock pistol according to Wu Zhou's recipe, but he actually can't play such an infantry, and he has to learn from Wu Shicong and Wu Yushuai again.

In addition, the Anukodun of the Galdan family is also quite capable of commanding cavalry. The lancers of the Wu family, the white-armored soldiers of Kangxi and the musketeers of the Junggar Department can actually play together, she really deserves to be a female general surnamed Xiaoer!

In the future, if you have the ability of Yushuai to command the infantry army, and then have the ability of Anu to command the cavalry, if you can spend more military money, maybe you will be able to defeat the Northern Expedition of Li Zhongshan, a traitor, and keep the four provinces of mountains and rivers in the Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty!

Kangxi was thinking about good things, when the battlefield suddenly heard the roar of artillery, he turned his head to see that the "Great Mongolian Army" on the battlefield south of Khujand had already completed its formation, and began to shell the enemy troops who were still lining up on the opposite side.

Kangxi nodded, and said in his heart: It seems that the formation must be fast, and it is necessary to attack first while the opponent's formation is not completed!

He took a closer look and found that the artillery under the command of Wu Shicong was not evenly arranged, but concentrated on his own center and shelled the enemy's left flank. And the infantry formation on the right flank of his side is not a horizontal formation, but a dense column, and the concentration of troops far exceeds that of the left flank!

In addition, Wu Shicong also concentrated Wu Zhou's lancers and the Qing Dynasty's white-armored soldiers on the right flank. Oh, and they have begun to make a detour to the left of the enemy under the cover of the smoke of artillery shelling.

In addition, Wu Shicong also concentrated Wu Zhou's lancers and the Qing Dynasty's white-armored soldiers on the right flank. Oh, and they have begun to make a detour to the left of the enemy under the cover of the smoke of artillery shelling.

Look at this posture, it is to make a detour to the rear of the enemy's left flank!

The cavalry on the right flank made a detour, and the infantry column on the right flank attacked again, and came to flank the front and rear. It's hard for the enemy's left flank not to collapse!

Kangxi said in his heart: This Wu Yushuai really has two brushes. It's a pity that he is the Wu family!

"Knock Knock"

Wu Shicong had already ordered someone to beat the drum of the march at this time!

Kangxi continued to observe, he found that the right flank of the "Mongol coalition army" first began to advance under the cover of artillery fire in the center, while the middle road only crossed the artillery position and began to push forward after the shelling stopped, while the left flank, which was relatively thin, finally began to advance, and marched relatively slowly.

Kangxi has already seen it!

The purpose of this Wu Shicong was to first crush the enemy's left flank, and then encircle their middle and right flanks. That's why he concentrated his forces on his right flank, but in order to avoid his left flank and middle flank being broken by the enemy, he adopted the "diagonal tactic" of the right flank first, then the middle flank, and finally the left flank.

Maybe when your right wing crushes the enemy's left flank, your left flank hasn't fought the enemy's right flank yet!

This way. That's high!

Seeing Wu Shicong's "slash tactics" that he didn't know where he learned, Kangxi was excited.

The Great Mongolia is about to rise again, and the Great Qing Dynasty is going to be great again!

The Rakshasa Kingdom and the Mughal region, that's really vast!

From Tashkent to Moscow, it is more than 6,000 miles, and it takes two months to travel 100 miles a day. In fact, it is difficult to walk so fast, not because the horse-drawn sleigh of the Mao Xiong's family is not fast, but because Fuquan and his party have to encounter a spring snow melting period, and the roads are muddy and difficult to pass for almost a month. So Fuquan walked all the way for three months!

The journey takes place in two months of the Western calendar, and it is only in May that we arrive in Moscow, which is already full of vitality and competition!

It's been a long time, a long time. All of them have made the wandering prince of the Qing Dynasty fully appreciated!

That's right, it's appreciation!

Fuquan never thought that his own run, coupled with such a delay on the road, would increase his worth.

And he himself, when he arrived in Vladimir, learned that he was worth a bullish value. Because at that time, Moscow sent an envoy to Vladimir and told him and Yazikov that His Majesty the Tsar would send Princess Sofia to the village of Orekhovo outside Moscow to meet him, a Qing visitor!

This can make Fuquan a little flattered and think about it. O princess! How big of a face does this have to be to work, and the princess of a big country of thousands of miles will personally go out of the city for dozens of miles to greet her?

This tsar doesn't want to recruit him as a concubine, right?

Recruit the horses first, and then lend him troops to restore the country. It must be like this!

As soon as Fu Quan thought that he might borrow a Rakshasa soldier, his whole person's spirit rose. When he was in Vladimir City, he deliberately rested for three days, picked himself up, washed the black robe, changed into the clothes of the Rakshasa from the inside out (he didn't bring his own luggage), and according to the aesthetics of the Rakshasa people, cut his braids, kept his beard, and found a white horse. So a bearded prince dressed in a black robe and riding on a white horse came to Moscow in a graceful manner.

Outside Moscow, in the village of Orekhovo.

Early this morning, a large group of Moscow lords and a princess Sofia with a big waist and a round waist and a meaty face came to this very small village!

However, Fuquan still misunderstood, Tsar Fyodor III did not think about marrying his sister to Fuquan, the wandering prince of the Qing Dynasty. He sent Sofia to greet him, just to show the value of Fuquan!

Because Fuquan has appreciated!

On his way to Moscow, the situation in the world changed, so that Fuquan, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, who was not important, suddenly became very valuable.

There are two reasons for the appreciation of Fuquan, one is that at the end of 1677 on the American side, there was another "Battle of Acre", and the result of the battle was still a complete victory for the city-state of Acre supported by the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the previous two battles, in this battle of Acre, the citizens of the city-state of Acre were also armed to fight, especially some of the half-blood whites and Indians who were particularly brave in the battle!

Moreover, the GH Revolution in Acapulco also showed signs of spreading, and many Spanish cities on the Pacific coast saw commotion dominated by mestizo whites and Indians.

The news reached Madrid, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, Juan Brown. Jose couldn't sit still, and sent an envoy to the Netherlands again, asking William III to fulfill his obligations as an ally and declare war on the Ming Dynasty!

And the second news prompted William III to make up his mind to form an alliance with Spain and Portugal against Ming!

It turned out that it was the Daming Yue Trading Company that turned Bintan Island, which was exported east of the Strait of Malacca, into a large stronghold for the southward expansion of the Ming Dynasty, and the news of the large-scale fortressing spread to the Netherlands.

This is poking William III's lungs!

Although the Strait of Malacca and the East Indies are not under the control of the Dutch East India Company. Some of these territories were still the territories of the original vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and there were even pirate armies from the Ming Dynasty operating in action. But the Dutch still regard this area as their monopoly sphere of influence.

If the Ming Dynasty only touched the Pacific coast of North America, the Netherlands might ignore it, but now the Ming Dynasty has extended its claws into the most important trade hub area in the world, and as soon as it makes a move, it occupies a large island, and it is quite tough to fortify it.

What does Da Ming want to do, can William III still understand?

So William III finally made up his mind, and before the Franco-Dutch War ended, he concluded an anti-Ming alliance with Spain, and then pulled Portugal, which had been bullied by Li Yat-sen, into the field. Spain brought in the German Habsburgs and several small states, and began to build a multinational alliance in Europe against the Ming Dynasty.

And the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and the Holy Roman Empire joined forces against the Ming, so there must be powerful countries who want to join forces with the Ming Dynasty - the enemy of the enemy should be a friend, right?

There are currently two such powers, one is France, and the other is the Ottoman Empire, which previously opposed the Great Mongols with the Rakshasas.

But no matter whether you want to link the Ming or anti-Ming, first of all, you can't figure out the situation in the east? It's best to find a real Oriental Game of Thrones insider.

And Fuquan is exactly such a person!

Can his worth not rise?

Fyodor and Sofia, who are rushing to collude with the Western powers, can they not value Fuquan?

Isn't the blessing of the whole coming?
