Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1179
"Your Majesty, the Oirat Department is too far away from my Ming Dynasty. Once our army goes out to rescue, the end of the war will be far away." Bi Ziyan said with a serious face, "The distance is far away, and the logistical pressure will be great; the war will never end. , the logistical pressure will be even greater. Your Majesty, I think it’s inappropriate to ask for an expedition!”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "You Bi Qing, when you mention money and food, it's like asking for your life! How can you not waste money and food when you do things? Anyway, the Oirat tribe is my Ming minister. Can you ignore it?"

The atmosphere of the discussion was not serious, which gave the ministers more motivation to speak.

Hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Bi Ziyan didn't seem to have expected it. He was a little taken aback, and then played again: "Your Majesty, I'm just telling the truth. Now that the treasury has just been filled, I'm really afraid that the war will be delayed." After a long time, the national treasury was exhausted!"

"Your Majesty, Bi Shangshu's words are justified. The three major campaigns of Wanli in the previous dynasty exhausted the treasury's money and food, so Jianlu took the opportunity to rise." Xue Guoguan, the cabinet assistant, said.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, but Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came out and said: "Your Majesty has already said that Oirat is a subject of my Ming Dynasty. As the suzerain country, my Ming Dynasty must be saved..."

He supported the emperor because the Holy Son of Heaven is now in power, and since all nations come to court, this is the greatest achievement of all emperors.To achieve this, a strong country is a factor, and Enwei Overseas is also a factor.On the other side of Nanyang, those who disrespected Ming Dynasty were threatened. Oirat, since he surrendered to Ming Dynasty, has always remained respectful. Naturally, he must save such a vassal state.It was also for this reason that after he received the order from Emperor Chongzhen in the chat group, he began to act.

After Wen Tiren said this, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen again, and then said: "However, Bi Shangshu's worries are justified. The old minister thinks that he should do what he can. After all, the Oirat tribe has another reinforcement to receive."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the same is true of my minister's intentions. I will delay sending troops in the Ming Dynasty." Bi Ziyan immediately echoed, "From Gushi Khan's side, we will first fight the Khalkha tribe and the Tsarist Russian army, and then I will send troops after the Ming Dynasty. , should be able to reap the benefits of being a fisherman!"

"..."

Other courtiers also followed suit. Although some spoke bluntly and some spoke cryptically, they all had the same point of view, saying that Oirat was too far away, and there was Gushri Khan's army over there, so there was no need for Da Ming to rush to reorganize the army. Go to the rescue.

Chongzhen glanced around at them, not angry, and when they had finished speaking, he said indifferently: "I just received a report saying that Gushi Khan was chasing the enemy while taking advantage of the victory, and he couldn't get away, and he couldn't return to help."

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers were a little stunned.

As for the movements around Daming, these high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty naturally knew about it.They knew exactly what Gushi Khan was going to do at this time.Now he gave a reason, saying that he was chasing the enemy while taking advantage of the victory, and he couldn't return to help. This... is this because his own people are in danger?If you don't know, you might think that Gushhan has nothing to do with Oirat!
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, isn't Oirat in danger?" Cao Bianjiao, the chief of the Beijing camp, came out and played.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to him, nodded and said: "The current Oirat Department, if there are reinforcements, they can still persist. If there is no reinforcements, morale will be lost, I am afraid they will not last long!"

"Your Majesty!" Bi Ziyan thought for a while, and then went out to play, "Since even Gushi Khan is like this, there is no need for us Ming to do it for us! Rescue is possible, but it doesn't need to be large-scale, and it doesn't need to be so urgent. As long as you fulfill the responsibilities that the suzerain country should have!"

If it is said that it is only fulfilling the responsibilities that the suzerain country should have, then there are many choices to be made.For example, sending envoys to persuade, such as first promising to send troops, and then waiting for opportunities, etc.It is far from what it is now, the emperor is still in the south of the Yangtze River, so the capital and the Nine Sides have to make preparations.

"Your Majesty, I have no real benefits for the Ming Dynasty. Such things are really not worthwhile." I don't know if it was influenced by Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also began to worry about it, "It's just a vassal state, so there is no need to rush of."

Seeing that his courtiers had become so pragmatic, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little helpless.But if you think about it, you must have the same attitude towards the courtiers you keep and use, otherwise you will let him go if you don't look down on him.

But these courtiers in front of them, because of the limitations of the times, don't see the long-term.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, so he let his subordinates continue to speak, but he entered the chat group and looked at it from time to time.Because he knew that the dispatched envoy had already met Oqiertu, and he was chatting privately with himself from time to time about the news there.

Suddenly, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the latest news. In this way, his plan was perfect.

After exiting the chat group, seeing that the officials were still talking, most of them had the same meaning as Xu Guangqi.

With a smile, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand to make the officials quiet, and then said: "I just received the latest news. Oqiertu just proposed that the Oirat tribes are willing to belong to my Ming Dynasty and become my people!"

As soon as these words were mentioned, all the courtiers couldn't help being stunned.Just now they were saying that Oirat was just a vassal state, but they said that they were going to become a member of Ming Dynasty.If you really want to agree, the Khalkha tribes and the Tsarist Russian army are now invading Ming Dynasty and massacring the people of Ming Dynasty, then the nature of this is different.

However, can Oqiertu really become a member of Ming Dynasty instead of being this big sweat?

Regarding this, many courtiers in the hall expressed doubts, and Emperor Chongzhen did not explain much, and pulled several courtiers in the chat group into a temporary group, so that they could see Ban Dian and Oqiertu and others. dialogue.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, these courtiers were no longer surprised, so they were waiting.Inside the hall, there was a moment of silence.

After a while, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came back to his senses and said: "Oqiertu is seriously injured. I am afraid that time will not be long. He should be sad on Gushi Khan's side. Seeing that my Ming Dynasty is so powerful, the emperor is wise." Shenwu wants his people to become the common people of Ming Dynasty and be protected by His Majesty."

The chief inspector of ceremonies, who had been silent all this time, also said with admiration: "The people of the Oirat tribe, after hearing about His Majesty's kindness and the happiness and well-being of the people of our Ming Dynasty, are all very envious and have no doubts about it. Hehe, they are very eager to become the people of Daming, the people of His Majesty!"

Hearing this, all the officials in the Hall of Martial Arts couldn't help being proud.All the former Waci volunteered to become a true member of Daming!It can be seen from this that the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the wisdom of the emperor have spread far and wide abroad!

This is a good thing, and the officials naturally complimented the emperor.But in this way, Daming has an additional piece of territory, but following it, dispatching troops has become an internal matter of Daming, and it is no longer just a vassal state, which is different in nature.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, other people didn't speak much, but Shangshu Hubu still wanted to say something for the money in his pocket.However, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the opinions of the officials had been expressed, so he waved his hand, and two servants took out a large scroll with both hands, hung it on a screen, and then set it up in front of the officials below.

Everyone was a little curious, so they looked over and found that it seemed to be a map.

Some parts of this map are familiar to them, but there is still a large part that they are not familiar with.

While they were watching, Emperor Chongzhen had already stepped down and came to the screen.The servant on one side immediately offered a small long slender stick with both hands, and then stepped back to the side.

"My dear friends, this is the map of the north." Emperor Chongzhen pointed at the map with a thin stick in his hand, and began to explain, "This is Guihua City, this is Baotou, this is the Tianshan Mountains, this is the Daqingshan Mountains, and here is Northland, here is the Arctic Ocean, and this area should be Tsarist Russia..."

This map was actually drawn by Emperor Chongzhen based on the impressions of later generations. Therefore, Siberia, the Arctic Ocean, Tsarist Russia, etc., probably all exist.

All the officials in the Hall of Martial Arts looked at the map curiously, their eyes following the stick of Emperor Chongzhen.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen drew a circle on a large area in the northwest with a thin stick in his hand, then looked at the officials, and said a little seriously: "In fact, I have been making arrangements all the time, and the purpose is to bring this area into the territory of Ming Dynasty. .This place, I am determined to win!"

The officials in the Hall of Martial Ying rarely heard the emperor speak like this, so when they heard it at this moment, they were all very surprised, and they all looked closely, but they couldn't see anything.Even the knowledgeable Xu Guangqi and others don't know what's good there, so why is the emperor so determined to win?

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew that they couldn't know, because this area is the place where Russia will rely most on later generations. It is extremely poor, but it can still continue to collect free money from here.This area is the West Siberia oil region, which occupies more than 60.00% of the oil and gas resources in later Russia.

Emperor Chongzhen held a thin stick and knocked hard on this area a few times before he said seriously: "Because there are buried things that are more valuable than gold in the underground of this place, and the reserves are very large. Inexhaustible oil and gas resources.”

Speaking of this, he had to give these ministers science popularization again: "My dear friends, you should have seen the benefits of the steam engine, right?"

At this time, the steam engine has already started to be popularized in all walks of life, and it has been tested once on the ship. The huge application prospect will change many things in the present. These top officials of the Ming Dynasty have already learned something from various data.

Therefore, when they heard Emperor Chongzhen speak, they all nodded in cooperation.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them, and continued to say seriously: "But I want to tell you that there are still many shortcomings in the heat conversion of steam engines. One of them is that the combustion energy of coal is far less than that of oil and gas. Wait for the technology to catch up in the future." , Wait until one day in the future, there will inevitably be a new type of steam engine.”

"This new type of steam engine no longer burns coal, but oil and gas. The conversion of heat energy into kinetic energy will surely be dozens or even hundreds of times what Zhuqing sees now." Emperor Chongzhen raised his voice a little , continued, "You can imagine how much this steam engine fueled by oil and gas will change the world by then. With enough power, human beings will go to the sky no longer like the hot air balloon this time." It's simple. It takes an hour to get there from the capital to Yingtianfu."

"Or in other words, the current horse-drawn, ox-pulled and other livestock powers are all replaced with new types of power. Think about it yourself, Zhu Qing, what will the future be like?"

"..."

If the words of Emperor Chongzhen were replaced by the words of the past, these people in the early seventeenth century might not be able to understand what he said.But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already promoted the steam engine, scientific and technological knowledge, and successfully experimented with hot air balloons, allowing them to see swimming in the water, flying in the sky, and so on.This is tantamount to opening a foundation for the people of this era to have enough room for imagination.

Therefore, although what he said at this time is still very shocking, at least these elites of Ming Dynasty can already follow the thinking of Emperor Chongzhen to imagine.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the Hall of Wuying was very quiet. All the courtiers, no matter what their status, age, or knowledge composition, were all dumbfounded, staring at the huge map, and fell into whimsy. among.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for a long time, felt that it was almost done, and then tapped the area on the map that was bound to be won with a thin stick, and said firmly: "Therefore, for the future of our Ming Dynasty, for the sake of future generations, I am determined to obtain this underground thing!"

At this time, the differences between Chinese and Western thinking are reflected again.

For Chinese culture, for the sake of future generations, no matter how difficult it is, it will be solved for them.Instead of saying, live the present, live well, and care about future generations!

Therefore, Chinese people can have many gods, but there are no exceptions. The ancestors must be worshipped. This is the belief of Huaxia!
If some of the courtiers felt that Daming was not worthy of sending troops before, when Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, they all had no opinion and agreed to send troops.

Emperor Chongzhen made a signal, and the two servants moved the screen aside, and he himself walked up to the throne, sat down again, and said to the courtiers: "Oirat Mongolia is located in the Western Regions, and it is the closest to there. Therefore , In the past, I planned to provide armaments, arm them, let them fight west, and be a pioneer for my Ming Dynasty. I don’t tell you about the things under the ground, and no one can know that there is such a treasure. Wait until In the future, I will choose an opportunity to take it..."

When the officials heard this, they suddenly realized that the reason why the emperor sold the newly developed military weapon to Oirat was for this.The emperor's foresight and foresight are really unmatched by anyone!

Seeing their expressions, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care, and continued: "Unexpectedly, God gave me the best chance again, and the Oirat tribes were defeated by the Khalkha tribe and Tsarist Russia teamed up to make a surprise attack, and now they are grateful to me, Da Ming, and voluntarily join Da Ming. Such a good opportunity, how can I not take it."

Speaking of this, he said with a resolute tone in his voice: "I want to take this opportunity to annihilate Khalkha Mongolia in one fell swoop, so that the northern part of the Ming Dynasty will no longer suffer from the Mongolian nomads. I want to take this opportunity to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Expand to the Western Regions, compile and train the various tribes of Oirat, think of it as a pioneer, promote justice, and vengeance, crusade against Tsarist Russia, and occupy that treasured land for future generations!"

In the face of such a great benefit, the officials in the Hall of Martial Arts suddenly felt a sacred responsibility, no one cared about it any more, and they all bowed their hands and said: "The minister waits for the order!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then continued: "My intention is to direct Liaodong Governor Lu's department to be incorporated into Governor Hong's department, and to mobilize the elite of the nine border towns, divide them into multiple groups, and attack together to destroy the Khalkha Mongols in the first battle." The ministries, and then choose an opportunity to destroy Tsarist Russia!"

This is the largest battle in the Ming Dynasty since the eradication of the Liaodong Jianlu.Compared with this one, those wars in the south are small fights in terms of scale.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs Bi Ziyan, with a serious face, bowed and said: "I should do my best to plan for the army!"

This financial steward of Ming Dynasty seems to have a big picture.Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and smiled again on his face: "Actually, Bi Qing doesn't have to be too nervous. This battle will not consume too much money and food from my Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan immediately lifted his spirits.Because he knew that the emperor was very good at this.In the wars in the past few years, the imperial court did not spend much.

Seeing Bi Ziyan staring at him, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The main force of the Khalkha Mongolian tribe is now in the Western Regions, and this is one of them. And my Ming army is advancing in multiple ways, and I will also send factory guards to divide As far as the various armies and even the outposts are not closed at night, the communication is correct, and the remaining troops to encircle Khalkha and the Mongolian tribes will be determined in one battle. The captured cattle, horses and sheep can also be used for military use."

These courtiers in the Hall of Martial Arts all understood that the factory guards sent by the emperor must be those factory guards with clairvoyance and wind ear ability.With these factory guards in the various armies, the biggest problem of the Battle of Mobei was solved.Surrounded by several roads, I am afraid that those Khalkha Mongols will run away!
As long as it can be determined in one battle, without delay, it really won't cost too much money and food, not to mention, there will be supplements captured!

"Then the army circled from the north to the back of the enemy in the Western Regions, joined forces with other armies, and then defeated the enemies in the Western Regions." Emperor Chongzhen had already had a plan in mind, and continued, "When the battle is settled, the battle to the north in the Western Regions will follow. After the reorganization of the Oirat Division, the Ming Army of the Grassland under the Guihua City Division is the main force. Their ancestors have demonstrated this kind of warfare, and I believe that with my support, they will make the Western Regions terrified!"

When he was talking, he had actually already decided on the candidate for the coach: Hehe, aren't you two secretly lamenting that there is no battle to fight?When I look back, I will let one of you be the commander-in-chief and the other be the general to attack Tsarist Russia for me!
