Tian Shanyue is indeed envious.

The Son of Heaven invented a decree in the northern capital thousands of miles away to recruit a county commander into Beijing.

This must be a great thing.

And Chen Zhongliang has indeed performed more prominently among the officials who have been "seconded" by Lan Fang over the years.

Chen Zhongliang's face also showed joy.

He is a smart man, and he can quickly guess the reason for the summons of the Son of Heaven - his greatest achievement was completed in Jifeng County, maybe the Son of Heaven will also promote the Jifeng County model throughout Nanyang?

Saying that, he arched his hand to Tian Shanyue: "Mr. Tian, thanks to the care during this time, the Son of Heaven has an order, Chen Mou will clean up and go north, if there is a chance in the future, I will drink with you again!" ”

Tian Shanyue also arched his hand and said, "Chen Sang, I will settle down in Lanfang in the future, if you come to Lanfang at that time, don't forget to visit your old friends." ”

Chen Zhongliang shook his head and said: "Mr. Tian should not be arrogant, with Mr. Tian's talent, how can he be wasted in Nanyang?" In the future, we will fight in all directions, and it is the time to use the generals, and when the time comes, the talents of the gentleman will be useful! ”

The Japanese fake samurai Tian Shanyue now has the military registration of the Ming Army, and he is not Japanese in terms of identity, but Han.

Therefore, as long as he makes contributions, he can complete the promotion in the Ming army system.

There are many Japanese people like Mt. Tayama.

Now is not the time for the rise of nationalism in later generations, and Japan is still poor, if you can be a Han Chinese, who will be a Japanese?

Therefore, many Japanese who have made meritorious contributions have passed the "Sinicization Examination", received the military registration of the Ming Army, and when they are discharged from the army in the future, they can also be assigned household registration according to their own wishes.

The benefits are very good.

Moreover, Chen Zhongliang and Tian Shanyue have been working together for more than a year, and he knows very well how powerful this fake samurai is.

Such characters will not be buried.

"Chen Sang, have a good trip!"

Tian Shanyue's face was solemn and said.

In this era of basic transportation, this parting is likely to mean that we will never see each other again in this life.

Chen Zhongliang bowed his hand and bowed deeply.

"See you soon!"

Just when Chen Zhongliang had to go north by boat from Lanfang because of Emperor Zhu's order.

Emperor Zhu was furious in the imperial study in the Forbidden City.

"Protect this thief! Damn it! ”

Emperor Zhu's face was very unhappy, and he paced back and forth in the study for a few steps.

And what made him so unhappy was naturally the news from the northwest.

Le Bao, the former governor of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty, refused the surrender order of the docile king Jin Sanxin, and led his troops to attack several Mongolian nomadic tribes in Uriya Sutai, plundering cattle, sheep, horses and women.

For the time being, Emperor Zhu didn't have much to do with this mountain high emperor far away.

He didn't even dare to send the expeditionary camp out to deal with Lebao.

After all, the content of the Eight Banners in the camp of the expedition to the west is too high, what if these original Eight Banners disciples directly bring weapons to Le Baoye?

And judging by the number and models of flintlock muskets and various types of field guns in the Lebao army

It is highly likely that Lebao was supported by the British.

In the Western Regions, only the British Viceroyalty of India had the possibility of providing large-scale assistance to Le Bao with all kinds of weapons.

Lebao is about to merge with the European overlord Britain.

This made Emperor Zhu feel a little uneasy.

In addition, Emperor Zhu also had a copy of the information on the increase of Tsarist troops in Irkutsk.

Tsarist Russia and Britain were originally allies, and now they still have direct contact with Lebao, India, the Western Regions, and Siberia.

There are threats in all three directions.

And Emperor Zhu didn't want to be involved in too much energy in the three directions.

Because none of these places can accommodate too many people.

The Western Regions Province is good, but it is nothing compared to the Northeast.

Emperor Zhu hoped to concentrate on migrating the poor people of the Central Plains to the northeast as much as possible, and after accumulating enough immigration experience, he could use this experience in North America.

As for the Siberian, Central Asian, Indian directions.

These places only need to maintain influence, and even do not pursue actual control, but are divided into vassals to guard them.

But at this time, there were troubles in all three directions.

In particular, if Le Bao had the support of Britain and Tsarist Russia, he might really be in the northwest direction and ruin Emperor Zhu's affairs.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this thief, you just need to urge the king of Pingxi to go west and drive him away, the key is not to let this thief disturb the military heart of the camp to the west!"

Tao Biquan on the side said.

Zhu Daohua looked at the map when he heard this.

"The affairs of Tsarist Russia must not be let go so lightly, and Tsarist Russia must be taught a lesson and let them understand. War doesn't start when you want to start and end when you want to! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Daohua suddenly said,

"Order Chen Dewang to lead his troops north and destroy Irkutsk!"

Emperor Zhu's fist slammed into Irkutsk, not far from Lake Baikal.

Irkutsk was the core of Tsarist rule in Eastern Siberia.

There was a large river passing through it, and the Tsarist side could transport supplies and troops from Moscow to this place by river.

From the 16th century onwards, it was the support point for the eastward expansion of Tsarist Russia.

Smash Irkutsk.

It can ruin the operation of Tsarist Russia in the Far East for more than 100 years!

"Can the battalion of the expedition to the west beat the shooting army of Tsarist Russia?"

Tao Biquan frowned slightly.

"It's impossible not to fight, the battalion of the expedition to the west has been reformed by the staff system, and the top and bottom are controlled by the staff officers, holding the base camp of the Naturalization City, and they are not afraid of the rebellion of the original Eight Banners, not to mention that there is an upward channel for meritorious service to rise and be rewarded, and they have no reason not to work hard!"

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

Not to mention.

In armament.

The camp also occupied an absolute advantage.

Moreover, now sending the capital of the expedition to the west to the coast of the North Sea can also avoid the "temptation" of Lebao.

Of course.

The key is to drive Le Bao away from the Western Regions!

"Send an edict to Qi Lin, let him go west quickly, and don't delay for any reason! Autumn harvest? The imperial court will replenish him with food! How much wheat can be produced in that place in Guanzhong! If you don't want it, you will immediately pull out the camp and go west, if you don't go. The two dragoon brigades at hand in Luo Dingshan are also about to move! ”

Zhu Daohua looked at the land of Guanzhong again.

It was already the third time that he had ordered Qi Linxi to enter.

But this king of Pingxi delayed three times and twice for various reasons.

What ammunition is insufficient, what military pay is not enough, what has to wait for the autumn harvest.

Emperor Zhu, who had a good temper, is also angry now.

His words this time were already very heavy.

If you don't go west at once, then send a large army to drive you away!

Guanzhong Plain in June.

The temperature is very hot.

On the terraces of the loess with thousands of ravines, the lush wheat pulls out the ears of wheat.

If God appreciates faces.

This year is going to be a good year.

Chang'an City.

Pingxi Palace.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! ”

Zhang Hanchao hurriedly came with the military order from the Generalissimo's Mansion that he had just received.

Seeing Qi Lin, the king of Pingxi, who was sitting in the seat and drowsy under the service of several Shaanxi beauties, he was angry.

"Emperor Zhu has come to order again." Zhang Hanchao put the military order in front of Qi Lin.

"Come on, come on, this wheat has just come out of the ear, you can't do without these millions of acres of wheat."

Qi Lin said indifferently.

I got an errand for the king of Pingxi before, but now I am comfortable squinting in Guanzhong, and I don't really want to go to the Western Regions to eat sand.

"No, this time Emperor Zhu seems to be really angry, he asked us to immediately order troops to go west, because the former Qing Governor of the Western Regions, Le Bao, sent troops to attack Uriya Sutai three times and twice." Zhang Hanchao frowned and said, "Now Emperor Zhu is going to drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger, let us deal with Le Bao." ”

"If we don't leave now, he will let Luo Dingshan bring troops to drive us away"

When he said this, Zhang Hanchao's face showed helplessness.

"What? Luo Dingshan is here? ”

Qi Lin suddenly stood up when he heard this.

If the Ming court is not in a hurry.

He doesn't have any sense of urgency yet.

But if the murderer from Luo Dingshan came with soldiers, then Qi Lin would not dare to squat in the pass.

"Yes, the dragoons of the two brigades have already passed Tongguan."

Qi Lin walked back and forth a few steps when he heard this, and at this time his wife Wang Cong'er walked in.

"Lord Wang, it seems that we have to go, otherwise Emperor Zhu is really angry, and we can't bear it."

Hearing this, Qi Lin looked at Zhang Hanchao.

Zhang Hanchao also nodded.

Now the entire army of the original Heavenly Kingdom has been obviously frightened.

Now if you mention fighting with the Ming army, I am afraid that before the fight starts, most of your own army will have to escape.

So it's simply not going to be able to fight.

"It's okay to go, this king wants food, weapons, and ammunition!"

Qi Lin gritted his teeth and said.

"The emperor can't let us send a dozen or two hundred thousand people to the Western Regions to die!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hanchao hurriedly said: "The Generalissimo's Mansion has issued a military order, and the military rations have been transferred into the customs, and a lot of gunpowder and lead bullets have also been transported, which is enough for us to fight in the Western Regions for a year or two." ”

Qi Lin nodded when he heard this: "After driving away Le Bao, we can make our home in the Western Regions?" ”

"Not yet, the Emperor's promise is. Let's go to the Ferghana Basin. ”

"Where's that?"

"In Central Asia."

"Central Asia?"

"The former Tang Dynasty Western Regions Protectorate is in that area."

"That's thousands of miles away from the Central Plains." Qi Lin sighed, "That's it, Emperor Zhu is so fierce, this king is also afraid, it's better to stay away from him." ”

"Lord, I heard that the Fergana Basin is richer than Guanzhong, and between the two mountains, there are several large rivers passing through it, and it is the best agricultural land in the whole of Central Asia."

Zhang Hanchao said.

Qi Lin waved his hand: "What if it's better than Guanzhong, strong enemies are around, when we get there, we have to be pinched by Emperor Zhu, he tells us to bite whoever we want, and when the time comes, maybe we will be cunning and dead lackeys!" ”

"Lord Wang, when you go to the West, there are many cunning rabbits, and we and our lackeys are afraid that we can do it for one or two hundred years." Zhang Hanchao smiled bitterly.

"Yes, the children and grandchildren have to be his Emperor Zhu's dog."

Qi Lin was even more helpless.

"No matter, pass on the king's order, the guards immediately order their troops, and march west after assembling in Chang'an!"
