Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 817 Be Careful

As expected of Gushi Khan, although Daming had already learned the news in advance and mobilized troops, he also sent a message to the western frontier.

However, the Western Allied Forces launched attacks from multiple points at the same time. Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places were all attacked and part of their land was taken away.

The main composition of this coalition, to be precise, is the Heshuote Khanate, which is the Qinghai-Tibet-line Khanate established by Gushri Khan, as well as the Junggar Khanate, the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the Yarkand Khanate .

The Yarkand Khanate was originally very powerful. Their founding king and the founding emperor of the Mughal Empire in India are brothers and sisters. They couldn't beat the enemy and ran away. At that time, one developed to the east and established a The Yarkand Khanate, one developed to the south, established the Mughal Empire.

There was a historical period when the Yarkand Khanate was still very powerful, but by the time of Chongzhen, it was already in decline.

In the western region of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful force was the Heshuote Khanate established by Gushri Khan, followed by Wacha, but when Wacha was disintegrated and only the Zhungeer Khanate was left, its strength was relatively weak. The Yarkant Khanate is still stronger, but if the original historical development is followed, the Yarkand Khanate will eventually be wiped out by the Zhungeer Khanate.

At this time, under the strong pressure of Ming Dynasty, these countries finally united and launched an attack on Ming Dynasty.

All of a sudden, Yunnan urgent report, Sichuan urgent report, Shaanxi urgent report, and emergency memorials flew to the capital like snowflakes.

The people along the way were all shocked when they saw this scene.

"What's going on, where is the war again?"

"Haven't all the thieves been pacified? Even the Liaodong Jian captives have been pacified. Why did the military report send it urgently?"

"I heard the news from the yamen that it was the western barbarians attacking our Daming! And it's not just a single barbarian, it's a coalition of several barbarians. They are very powerful, and they have lost a lot of places at the border!"

"How did this happen? Our Da Ming recruited them or provoked them, why did you beat us Da Ming?"

"You are naive. When will you not provoke me? Unless your fist is hard enough, people will not dare to provoke you. This is the case between people, and it is also the case between countries!"

"..."

Compared with the worries of the people in the western part of Ming Dynasty, the people in the central and eastern regions were not so worried after seeing the continuous urgent delivery of military reports, and were even a little lucky.

"It's really not what the court expected. There is indeed a war in the west. The court sent troops there!"

"That's right, don't even think about it, we are blessed by the Emperor Taizu! So many enemies attacking our Daming together, it is a big deal, the Emperor Taizu will definitely show up, tell the current emperor!"

"The imperial court is right. If it is not directly under the imperial court's jurisdiction, whether it is those chieftains or vassal states, once they become strong, they will attack our Ming Dynasty. Instead of doing this, it is better to destroy them!"

"However, can it be destroyed like this? After destroying a country, there will be a new country that is borderline with our Ming Dynasty!"

"Then continue to destroy, what's wrong?"

"If you want to put it this way, the whole world seems to be called the earth. I heard from my nephew's geophysics that all the countries on the entire earth were wiped out by our Ming Dynasty, and only one Ming Dynasty was left. gone?"

"What's the matter? Can't it?"

"Actually, it's not. Isn't there still a vassal state where the vassal king is the vassal? It's not all Daming's country!"

"..."

These people, living in the middle east, know more about the news that the imperial army has just recovered Liaodong and wiped out the Korean Japanese pirates, and therefore, they have more confidence in the imperial army.

In addition, they saw armies heading west. Therefore, seeing the military report and hearing that the barbarians in the west were all uniting to fight against Ming, even if they lost part of their territory, they didn't have any worries.

However, the occurrence of the Western War has affected them to some extent.

In the past, a small number of people felt that after the imperial court recovered Liaodong and wiped out the Korean Japanese pirates, Nanshan could be released immediately, and the world would be peaceful.As for other surrounding places, as long as they pay tribute.This point of view is no longer heard.

If someone mentions this, they will definitely be besieged by a group of people.Others have come to the door, and let Nanshan go?

After going through troubled times, most people know that peace in the world is not achieved by talking, but by fighting.

The view that people who are not of my race must have a different heart is accepted by more people.

........................

In the Hall of Martial Arts in the Forbidden City of the capital, Sun Chuanting, the second assistant to the cabinet, and others are reporting the frontline battle report to Emperor Chongzhen.

On a screen, there is also a map of the western part of the Ming Dynasty, on which the received situation map of the enemy and the enemy is marked with red and blue winks.

As can be seen from this map, many places have indeed been captured by the Western Allied Forces.The lost places are mainly concentrated in the southwest of Sichuan, and some places in Shaanxi.

However, from the map, it can also be seen that the enemy is not advancing at the same time, because behind the battle between them and the Ming army, there are actually some cities that have not been pulled out and still belong to Daming.

Listening to Sun Chuanting's explanations one by one, Emperor Chongzhen nodded from time to time, and did not show any expression of anger because of losing the city and land.

After Sun Chuanting finished reporting, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became concerned about the situation in the south.I heard him ask Sun Chuanting: "How's the news from Annan?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there just happened to be an urgent report from the south, and I was about to report it to Your Majesty!" Sun Chuanting immediately reported, "The Zheng family in the north of Annan and the Ruan family in the south joined forces under the plan of the Dutch. After ambushing the imperial army, on the surface, the two sides have shook hands and made peace, and still respect the Li clan as the main one, but in fact, Lingjiang is still the boundary, and each lives in its own way."

After a pause, he went on to play: "It should be heard from the Dutch that the imperial navy is strong. They must be worried that their respective strategic focus is not enough, so they are all attacking neighboring countries in the west, and even the Ruan family in the south. They also attacked south at the same time, intending to occupy more places in order to deal with my Ming Dynasty."

"This point has also been confirmed by those neighboring countries in Annan who asked me for help from Ming Dynasty." Sun Chuanting said here, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "At least from the current situation, Annan's Ruan and Zheng's offensives are fierce. , these small countries are not their opponents."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately nodded with a smile, but before he could say anything, he heard the Chief Assistant He Fengsheng come out and say: "Your Majesty, these small countries are also vassal states of my Ming Dynasty, and now they are asking my Ming Dynasty for help. Isn't it inappropriate to press and not return?"

Earlier, Emperor Chongzhen had ordered that no requests from the vassal states in Nanyang be ignored.

In this regard, He Fengsheng thought that now that Daming had become very powerful, he should have the airs of the heavenly kingdom, let them hang out, and respond to them immediately if they asked anything.

But now, people are very urgent. If they want to put on the airs of the heaven and the kingdom, what if they are not careful, they can't resist and they are wiped out?
Therefore, he finally reminded the emperor, of course it's okay to put on airs of the heaven and the kingdom, but you must also pay attention to propriety!

But who knows, when Emperor Chongzhen heard his words, he sneered and said: "In the 15th year of Chongzhen, I issued an imperial decree to the countries in Southeast Asia, asking them to pay tribute to food. The more the better, can any country respond?"

He remembered very clearly that at that time, whether it was disaster relief or military rations, there was a shortage of food.So, he followed Liu Weichao's suggestion, and knowing that the countries in Nanyang had food, he sent an imperial decree to the vassal states of Nanyang to ask them to pay tribute to food.

Unexpectedly, none of the vassal states gave tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and they all found various reasons to refuse.

According to Liu Weichao's guess, those countries in Nanyang may have been greatly influenced by Western colonists, and they felt that the Ming Dynasty was in such a mess and had no strength, so they listened to the Western colonists.

Although this is the case, some vassal states may have difficulties.However, Emperor Chongzhen would not care about these!

He just remembered that no one would give a helping hand!If Zheng Sen hadn't been used as a breakthrough and the Zheng family had been taken over for the imperial court, the days of Zhongxing Daming would definitely be moved back.

Emperor Chongzhen always remembered this matter!

Therefore, when he heard He Fengsheng say this, he replied like this.

When He Fengsheng heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect the emperor to be so narrow-minded, and he still remembered this matter!
He really wanted to remind adults that there should be a lot of them, but looking up at Emperor Chongzhen's expression, in the end, he put this idea behind him.

For those small countries in Nanyang, let the emperor be unhappy, as for?
As he was thinking about this, he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say to the courtiers: "I just want to use Annan's knife to harvest in Nanyang first, and when they are almost destroyed, I will do it again and wipe them all out. By the way, you can also find a few places to seal a few vassals out!"

"..." He Fengsheng couldn't help being speechless when he heard this, thinking in his heart, look, this is the fate of offending the emperor!Don't talk about people, the country will be destroyed!

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, under the propaganda in the south, Daming is being attacked by millions of enemy troops in the west, and the south was ambushed by the Annan Army, which also suffered heavy losses. Therefore, it will take time to regroup the army. it is good!"

Speaking of this, before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, he thought for a while and added: "In addition, dispatch some warships to the seaside of Annan to show off, so that Annan will think that if the imperial court sends troops to conquer Annan, it will definitely be on the coastline. Some places launched an attack, forcing them to urgently need strategic depth to deal with the attack of the imperial court army!"

Obviously, he was going to add fuel to the fire!
