My Daming New Empire

All spy agencies are actually intelligence centers.
Many inconspicuous little things, when they happen, will have their inevitability and chance.Inevitability is most of the time, chance is only a few.
As long as the inevitable information is mastered, those accidental events will not affect the overall situation most of the time.
The intelligence network of the Secretary of General Administration in Europe has not been well laid out, mainly because of the difference in race, which makes it difficult for ordinary spies to enter Europe to inquire about information.
And using European natives and people from the Western Regions to inquire about news, their status is often not high, and they cannot enter the upper circle.
But Monte now looks like a successful person. He was indeed a European nobleman with a small network of connections.
But with this step, he can enter the upper social circle without hindrance and be recognized by others.
In particular, there are quite a few nobles in Europe who also hope to learn more about Ming through their contacts with Monte.
Therefore, the higher Monte's style was, the more invitations he received.And here, there are many nobles from the area north of the Alps.
They knew that Monte had three shipments, all of which were in short supply in Europe. Even if they were sold in the Vatican, France, and Spain, there were still stocks.
Their invitation is a pass, and Monte's sales network has also reached the area north of the Alps for the first time.
And Mengzheng has also attracted the pursuit of many young girls in Europe. His handsome face with a combination of east and west, and his strong physique from playing football for a long time, even the wives are obsessed with each and every one of them.
In this pursuit, Meng Zheng felt extremely satisfied.Originally, he followed his father on a long-distance trip just because he graduated from college.
His job has already been arranged. After returning to Daming, he will join the Polytechnic Institute football team as the team leader, which is equivalent to a lecturer level.
This position was specially reserved for him by Duan Renzhi. In a few months, he will lead the team to participate in the No.40 Fifth Cuju Competition in March as the captain of the Polytechnic University team.
But now, he feels that this kind of acting-like life is full of excitement, which is much more interesting than being a team leader in a university.
The Secretary of General Administration also attached great importance to Meng Zheng, and after seeking Meng Zheng's opinion, he conducted all-round special training for him.Strive to polish him into a masterpiece of Ming Dynasty in Europe in the shortest possible time.
At this time, Huang Yuan received a telexed decree from Yingzhou Port announcing his return to Beijing.
After arranging all the affairs, he boarded a horse transport ship from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and set foot on his way home.
The trade between Europe and Daming is a surplus trade with Daming as the mainstay.Almost everything in Daming is what Europe wants, but in Europe, there are not many materials that Ming wants. They even have very little gold and silver.
Through trade, the most supplies shipped to Daming are horses and people.
The population will not be transported to the territory of Ming Dynasty. Most of them are used as coolies to build cities in South Asia and North Africa.
And the horses will be transported to Daming to become the labor force of farmers or a supplement to the army.
Although European horses are faster than Arabian horses and bloody BMWs, they do not have much advantage.But European horses are not picky eaters and are easy to feed. They are used to cultivate land and pull goods, which is far more practical than those two expensive horse breeds.
Especially the rough European horses, which are extremely powerful and full of endurance, are better than cattle for plowing and pulling goods.
Nowadays, the landlords in Ming Dynasty all like to use that kind of diesel engine machinery, but the small farmers all prefer the rough horses from Europe.
When the ship sailed to Hulumos for supplies, Huang Yuan got the news that the European allied forces launched the first battle in spring.
They did not attack Samarkand in the south, but concentrated their forces across the Volga River and launched an attack on the three cities in the far west.
The Three Extreme West Cities were the cities that Tang Saier and the others established at the beginning. The three cities formed the horns of each other, forming a barrier to the northwest of Ming Dynasty.
But their number is too small. The combined population of the three cities is only over 50, and the maximum number of people who can be transferred is [-].
Although there are still [-] regular troops to assist them, they are still powerless in the face of the menacing hundreds of thousands of allied forces.
At this time, Zheng Hong, governor of Samarkand, did not dare to help rashly. The distance between them was three thousand miles, and if they sent troops rashly, they would only be surrounded by the enemy.
However, Tang Saier adopted the method of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness. She burned the city of Kazan, destroyed all the materials that the enemy might use, and poisoned all water sources along the way, or threw human and animal corpses , pollute water sources.
From Kazan on the Volga River, the soldiers of the three cities in the far west fought and retreated, lengthening the enemy's front.
Although there were many of them, there was not enough bullets due to the shortage of gunpowder.Moreover, the cooperation between the different tribes was not tacit. The several contact battles between the two sides ended in a small victory for Tang Saier's side.
The enemy's luggage couldn't keep up, so they didn't dare to attack again. Now they stopped attacking on the banks of the Kama River, and became unable to advance and retreat.
If they want to attack, they don't have enough ammunition, food and grass, and the landmine traps laid by the Ming people with high explosives also caused them heavy losses.
When receiving this news, Huang Ting was still very relieved. Tang Sai'er was worthy of being a rare woman whom His Majesty valued.
In fact, he was not worried about the power of the coalition forces, because it was impossible for them to pose a threat to the mainland of Ming Dynasty.Not to mention hitting Samarkand, even hitting Tanglin City can exhaust their war potential.
The reason why His Majesty kept them was not because Da Ming couldn't deal with them. If Da Ming sent an army of 50, it would be able to fight directly from the Volga River to the Atlantic Ocean.
But what if such a poor place is defeated?Is it possible to let the army be surrounded by the enemy's people?
Now Daming can't even govern many areas in the north, let alone manage those places.
Not to mention the ministers, even His Majesty will not do things that are not beneficial.
They don't want to lay down a large territory like Meng Yuan, they can't manage it by themselves, and the people will rebel after only a few decades of submission.
They established so many khanates, but now?The vast majority of countries are now white, the Turkic people are the masters of the country, and the Mongolian and Yuan people have long lost their original power.
It is better not to control those places if we only control them.
unless……
Huang Ting looked at the northern sky, thinking that if Daming could build the train all the way to Europa, then he would be able to manage it.
Moreover, the imperial court should encourage the people to continue to have more children.
There are still too few people in Ming Dynasty now, the South Continent is short of people, the East Continent is short of people, the West Continent is short of people, and many areas in Mobei are also short of people.
If there are enough people, the whole world can be occupied.
Samarkand.Governor's Mansion in the River.
Zheng Hong, governor of Hezhong, sat behind the big case with an embarrassed face, and beside him stood a civil servant dressed as a fourth-rank civil servant who was furious at this moment. "On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the white coalition army marched eastward. I said that the current situation would be elevated to a state of emergency, and all ministries were strictly required to patrol the defense area. But you are prevaricating in every possible way, and you don't want to affect the lives of the people. It's good now, even the telegraph lines have been cut off. .Now that we can’t receive orders from the capital, and the war is delayed, we are all waiting to lose our heads!”
Zheng Hong squeezed out a smile and said: "Counselor Hu, that's not the case, don't make alarmist remarks. This telegraph line may have been blown down by a strong wind. I will order people to investigate along the way and repair it as soon as possible."
Counselor Hu looked at him and sneered, "I'm afraid the Governor-General has lived a comfortable life in this river for a long time, and has forgotten his identity. As an important minister of the country, you guard the river for His Majesty, and all your powers are bestowed by His Majesty." Yes. In the past, that’s all. Before the New Year’s Day, you already noticed the movement of the white people. Why did you hold back your troops? Now the situation is so dangerous, and the three cities of Tanglin are at stake, but Samarkand is still singing every night. Neither advance assistance nor upgrade the wartime system now , I would like to ask, what exactly does the Governor-General want to do?"
Zheng Hong was furious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about the civil servant in front of him.Although both sides are under the Ministry of National Defense, the staff of the staff department not only shoulders the power of supervising the army, but also directly reports to the general staff under the command of His Majesty.
Although he, the Duke of Wu, was a super high-ranking official, he couldn't control him.
Of course, he could shoot the other party in a fit of anger, but he couldn't bear the consequences of killing the staff officer.
He clapped his case and said loudly: "Before the Chinese New Year, who knows where the other party's target is? It wasn't until the tenth day of the first lunar month that it was confirmed that the other party's target was Tanglin City. The distance between the two places is three thousand miles, how can I let the soldiers risk rescue? You, the supervising army, just report what we did honestly, and you don’t have to rely on us to fight this war!”
Sensing that Zheng Neng was already stern, Staff Officer Hu didn't dare to press too hard.The level difference between the two sides is too far, and he has already exceeded the rules today.
