Lord of Ming Dynasty

His subordinates would not serve a child as their emperor's master. After he left, his sons were still young, and it was impossible to suppress these arrogant soldiers.

Just when Zhang Qiang was in a daze, Hu Kui walked in, "Something happened to the emperor, Japan broke with the Qing Dynasty, and they were dissatisfied with our policy towards them, and the Japanese troops who stayed in Goguryeo attacked the troops we were going to take over." And immigrants, the war has already begun, if it continues like this, the Qing Dynasty will fight on both sides, the front line of the Ural Mountains will collapse, and the Westerners will drive straight in, and the Qing Dynasty may not be able to resist."

This is a big deal. Originally, Zhang Qiang thought that the Japanese and the Qing Dynasty should be consumed with the West, mainly with Russia. The three were exhausted in the war, and then the Chinese Empire went in to take over the land smoothly, and Russia was seriously injured and returned to the Urals. On the southwest side of the mountain range, the two sides are divided by the Ural Mountains. Now it seems that the Japanese are a variable.

Hu Kui was recalled by Zhang Qiang and continued to serve as the captain of his personal guard, the head of the personal guard regiment. Although this position does not seem to be a big one, he is the person closest to Zhang Qiang, and his rank is the same as that of the official of the frontier. In order not to make them proud, and to make them have expectations, Zhang Qiang restricted their grades. They returned to the court and went to the cabinet. Handle, after a period of time, their grades will be promoted to the second rank, and they will be promoted to a certain minister after a few years, and they will be the first rank.

Therefore, his rank is quite high. In the army, he is only equivalent to the third rank. If he is transferred back and jumps two ranks, he will be the second rank. If he goes back again, he will be a lieutenant general. When he was transferred back, it looked like he was punished, but he was actually promoted. This was also Zhang Qiang's comfort to him.

Chapter 971 The Dog Should Be Chained 1

Facing the Japanese begging for mercy, Zhang Qiang has no sympathy at all, and has bad intentions. He chooses to resist whenever he has the opportunity, and turns back on his master. Such a dog is really hateful, and he doesn't know when he will bite you.

Zhang Qiang's mind actually wanted to completely exterminate the Japanese, but he thought that in this way, there would be no one who could rule the Qing Dynasty.

After the battle with the Japanese, the Qing Dynasty seemed to have regained its confidence. Although the Daqing Valley lost nearly 800 million people in the battle with the Japanese this time, mainly Tianfang believers and Nanyang aboriginals, these people were really unbearable. As soon as the Goguryeo people charged, they collapsed and were chased and killed for thousands of miles, and many of them froze to death in winter.

Compared with the Han people who must build houses whenever they go to a place, and try to ensure sufficient food, fatten their horses, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be more able to carry out clan unity, the Nanyang Han people are better. They have the tradition of the Han people. They can't form a large group, but under the influence of the clan concept, they are good at grouping together and forming small groups. Settlements, places where a small population lives, are suitable for clan groups like the Han people to survive.

Relatively speaking, if the indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia are not led by tribal elders or lords, they will be a piece of loose sand, unable to be pinched, and without strong adhesives, they will be lambs driven by others. Of course, there are heroes in any nation, but these The environment that heroes often face makes them just short-sighted tragic characters. Apart from resistance, they do not know the power of unity and greater power. Therefore, local resistance can cause some troubles to the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Empire, or Japan. Help their whole nation or group get rid of this slavery status.

Tianfang believers are relatively united and have a common belief, but no force will let them gather together, and then let one of their leaders climb up to shout, there is no such thing, the Chinese Empire is still the Qing Dynasty, Japan, early Just recognize their faces and use them scattered, so they won't unite and resist.

Even if it is used by a large group, there are also Southeast Asian and Nanyang natives among them. The laziness of Nanyang natives is the best sand, which makes them unable to unite, but they must serve as cannon fodder to complete the tasks assigned to them by all parties.

When the war basically came to a standstill, all the members of the Tianfang Sect were basically dead, and the natives of Southeast Asia were also basically dead. The natives of Southeast Asia were used to this kind of life, and because they had a group of officers in the army who served as high-level leaders, and they The combat effectiveness of the army is second only to the Japanese servant army, and not as large as that of the Goguryeo servant army. Therefore, although the indigenous population in Southeast Asia is small, they are needed by all parties. They are not a big threat and they are all supported.

Although the Goguryeo people helped Japan fight the war, some of them were also from the Qing side, so they were not seriously injured, and the population is still quite large. There are still about 1000 million people fighting until now, and the Japanese are miserable. The Qing Dynasty only needs to seize Japan People were put to death, which caused the Japanese population to drop to 400 million until now. Japan's total population of 5000 million has really become 400 million. Japan realizes that if this continues, the Japanese nation will perish , so they had to send envoys to the Huaxia Empire to ask for a way out. They did not send people to the Qing Dynasty, because they knew that the conflict between them and the Qing Dynasty could no longer be reconciled. The Huaxia Empire is the suzerain of the Qing Dynasty. Without them, it means that the Qing Dynasty has no threat to them.

Zhang Qiang sent Feng Quan and Xue Hong as envoys to the Qing Dynasty to discuss the truce between them and Japan. At the same time, how to deal with the Japanese nation is a common concern of both sides. It is impossible to let Japan go like this.

The Qing Dynasty sent Nalan Mingzhu to the Chinese Empire.

The Qing Dynasty lost 1000 million people, 500 million troops, retreated from the front line of the Ural Mountains, immigrated to settlements, and soldiers transporting supplies, people, and 200 million soldiers fighting on the front line all collapsed After gathering and reorganizing, there are only 200 million combat troops left in the country, and most of them are recruits recruited from reliable settlements.

The front line has retreated [-] kilometers. If it weren't for the fact that the front line was too long, the settlements were looted by rioters, and the settlements were burned. Before the winter came, the Russians would not be able to march without supplies along the way. retreat and loss of population.

Looking at this famous figure in history, Zhang Qiang felt very emotional. If he didn't have himself, he might be Kangxi's right-hand man just like Suo Etu. Don't contribute less, at this moment he is wearing a bearskin padded jacket, looking wretched like an old farmer who has been working in the fields and has been beaten by wind and frost.

It also does not have the lofty status of the Qing Dynasty in the original historical line. It is graceful and luxurious, and it is exposed to wind and rain all day long. Living in a house made of wood, it faces severe cold of minus [-] to [-] degrees, and the temperature in summer is also around minus a few degrees. , such a place, what kind of scholarly temperament can they cultivate, what poetic flavor and poetic flourish can they have?

"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers came here this time to bring back some people from the Qing Dynasty and find a place to support the people. They can no longer stay in such a cold place. Your Majesty, show mercy and give the Qing a way out. The Manchus of the Qing Dynasty Now there are only less than 200 million people left, and although there are nearly 1000 million banner people, they are not real banner people, they are Han people, do you really have the heart to see them fall into the bitter cold and die one by one?" Nalan Mingzhu fell on the ground, crying with tears and snot.

It seems that the Qing Dynasty has really suffered enough in the past few years, and it is unbearable. It is estimated that many Manchus and Han people have already regretted losing the Northeast and going to the Siberian wasteland.

Zhang Qiang also thinks whether to let those Han people come back, at least go to Goguryeo, and use them to fill up the land there. There are not many people in the Huaxia Empire who can immigrate. If there are any, they will have to wait for a few years. The population has been used up, and each farmer can be allocated about ten acres of land. With the current population, each household is allowed to have seven or eight people, and the land of each household is as much as one hundred acres. Now many people It is no longer possible to farm the land.

It has been adopted to plant half or more of the land this year, let the rest of the land rest in rotation, fertilize the soil, and then replace the seeds after two or three years. Before Yuan Longping's hybrid rice comes out, even Zhang Qiang, a traverser, cannot increase the yield. All kinds of fertilizers, human manure, bird droppings, plant ash, but still can't increase the yield much. It would be good to increase the yield per mu by two to three times. This kind of yield is not enough for one mu of land in the future. many.

Therefore, there is a lot of land, and a lot of manpower is needed to cultivate it. There was no land before, but now there is not enough land. Only when more young people grow up can they continue to immigrate. Who will occupy so many places?

Chapter 972 The Dog Should Be Chained 2

"Allow 800 Manchus, 100 million Han Chinese to come back, plus [-] million Southeast Asian aborigines and Nanyang Han Chinese, you can go to Goguryeo, Xue Hong and Master Feng Quan will arrange for you at that time, you must intersect with the Han people who have immigrated there, Live separately, not in groups, understand?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of the Qing Dynasty, I thank the Emperor," Nalan Mingzhu knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.

Zhang Qiang said: "Although you are allowed to come back, that place still belongs to the Huaxia Empire. You are just borrowing it and you must obey the management of the Huaxia Empire. You can follow the laws of your Qing Dynasty and manage your Qing Dynasty, but you cannot manage it in the Huaxia Empire. Do you understand the territory and people of the Huaxia Empire?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nalan Mingzhu stood up and bowed again.

"Well, what do you think of Japan?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Nalan Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "They must be wiped out and their evil must be eradicated. Such wolves cannot survive in the world."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, although there are not many Japanese, only three to four million people, but there are still many Japanese servants, and there are still nearly one million servants in your team, and your main population is Han and Manchu. The total population is less than 400 million, and most of the other population is Goguryeo. This is your largest population, about 2000 million people. Southeast Asian natives and Han native immigrants are almost 600 million people. The rest are from Japan. Huamin and Nanyang Han account for millions of people, which is almost more than 900% of your population, and the rest are Tianfang sects, as well as the Middle Eastern people entrusted to you by the Chinese Empire, as well as the Han people of the Chinese Empire and the people of the Qing Dynasty , as well as Siamese natives, Indian natives, and the defeated Western coalition natives and expatriates, your population is almost 50.00 million today."

"With such a large population, your main ethnic group does not have an advantage, and you can only slowly consume them. Today, the Japanese and Goguryeo people still have 300 million people. If you add these people, you still have a population of 7000 to [-] million. Even if the war continues, you will still not be able to defeat them, but will intensify the consumption, and you will die together. This is not good, why not send them to the front line, let them settle down while fighting west, how about opening the way for you?"

Zhang Qiang asked.

Nalan Mingzhu said: "Okay, Your Majesty is wise." But in his head, he thought, this is how you deal with us, but now it's reversed, let us drive the Japanese to attack Russia, and we will be driven behind by you.

But he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. Zhang Qiang promised to let 100 million Manchus live in the original northern land of Goguryeo. Almost all of them moved there, commanded the Qing Dynasty remotely, and kept them. As for the bannermen at the bottom , What are they doing to them?

At the same time, he knew that Zhang Qiang didn't have a good grasp of the situation, at least the statistics were wrong. The Chinese Empire didn't make in-depth statistics. Under such a harsh environment, how could there be so many people, even 7000 million people? Japan can only have 600 million people. That’s right, this is in addition to the population of Goguryeo that was seized by them, and their Qing Dynasty was attacked by the Russian and Western coalition forces, as well as the Japanese on both sides. On a land of nearly 800 kilometers, they died of freezing this year because of winter. Those who died in battle, and those who escaped and disappeared, there are about [-] million, which is not bad.

At least more than half of the Chinese Empire has not been counted, and Zhang Qiang said that the Tianfang Sect and the people have almost died a long time ago, and the natives of Nanyang have almost died. They were all consumed by the Qing Dynasty's counterattack and Japan's response to the battle. up.

"Your Majesty, I have one more matter." Nalan Mingzhu said.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that Goguryeo should be restored to the country, and then they should be placed in the rear to reclaim the land, and the soldiers should be transferred to the front line. At the very least, they should be used as settlement militias, or to transport food and grass, and put them behind the Japanese. Then add the control of soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty, just like a rope, the Goguryeo people are the rope itself, the Qing Dynasty is the backbone in the rope, Japan is the dog, and the officials and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty sent in the Japanese soldiers and horses are Chains and rings, tie them up and drive them to bite."

"Well, this analogy is good. If some captive soldiers are added to the backbone, and the native soldiers and horses from other places, let the Southeast Asian native soldiers watch them, then it will be good. Let the Japanese fight the Russians, and you will hold the rope behind. , very good, let’s do it.”

After the two discussed, within half a month, Feng Quan and Xue Hong also returned to Yanjing. Since the horse-drawn railway, they returned to Yanjing from the northeast border much faster.

After listening to the reports of the two people, Zhang Qiang knew that Kangxi had surrendered his status, regarded the Huaxia Empire as the suzerain, called himself king, took off his emperor's hat, put on the king's crown, and completely obeyed the Huaxia Empire. After receiving the report from Nalan Mingzhu Afterwards, they sent troops to the southern front, swept across a large area, and detained all the Goguryeo people. The Japanese lost the population advantage of the Goguryeo people, so they asked the Qing Dynasty for peace, and finally reached an agreement. The Ural Mountains marched, and the eastern part of Siberia was completely handed over to the Goguryeo people and the Qing Dynasty. Goguryeo was restored to East Siberia with a population of 200 million.

Send 200 million soldiers to escort 380 million people in Japan, 30 soldiers and horses, to Yartsk, where to attack the Russian Far East, followed by the Southeast Asian Allied Forces, and the Qing Dynasty escorted 50 soldiers and horses, the Qing Dynasty Gathered 300 million people and 500 million civilians from East and Central Siberia, including 100 million Goguryeo civilians, and marched towards West Siberia in this direction.

The nobles and officials of the Qing Dynasty retreated from the front line of Chita and led 800 million Han people back to Goguryeo.

The Chinese Empire forcibly dispatched wealthy immigrants from Fujian, Anhui, and Suzhou to Goguryeo, surrounded the Han people and Manchus of the Qing Dynasty with the population, and prepared to assimilate them. Although the southerners are weak, their cultural integration is relatively high. Compared with the northern The tough and poor Han people should pay more attention to cultural inheritance.

Then through the transfer of the family members of the garrison brigade, the transfer of the garrison brigade, the northern troops were transferred to the south, so that the northern soldiers were less brave and more literary, and let the southern soldiers go to the north to hone their combat effectiveness and cultivate their blood.

At the same time, it fills the population emptiness in the north caused by massive immigration to the Middle East, Mongolia, the Northeast, and Southeast Asian states and islands in the south.

In short, Zhang Qiang will not make the south more and more rich, and the north is more and more turbulent, bitter cold. Because the south is in the rear of the battle line, there are always scenes of singing and dancing in the West Lake. They don't know what it feels like to cut people with swords, guns, swords and halberds. Now Zhang Qiang Let them try it to prevent the Huaxia Empire from getting weaker and weaker. Comfort is a disaster. The Song Dynasty wanted to be comfortable too much, so it perished. Not thinking about progress was the root cause of the Song Dynasty's demise.

With the development of the situation, Russia finally transferred a large number of people and troops from the rear, and advanced nearly 3000 kilometers with the Western Allied Forces, advancing to the border line after the retreat of the Qing Dynasty.

Chapter 973 Greedy Russian Empire

From 1462 to 1533, after Russia completed its expansion to the west, that is, to the west of the Ural Mountains, it began to go north and northwest, that is, to seize their outlets in the west and fight with the principalities such as the Baltic Sea. In just 30 years Since then, they have annexed many small khanates and pushed the territory southward by 450 kilometers. At the same time, they moved eastward and southward.

From 1533 to 1598, they successively wiped out the Khanates of the descendants of Genghis Khan in Mongolia, the three largest Khanates, the Kazan Khanate, the Astara Khanate and the Noga Khanate, which are west of the Ural Mountains and The Mongolian Khanate in the lower reaches of the Volga River, then they crossed the Ural Mountains and developed eastward, destroying many small Mongolian Khanates along the way, extending to today’s West Asia and conquering the Khanate there, until 1610, and thereafter In the 30 years of the first 450 years, Russia's military border moved about 4500 kilometers to the south; during the same period, Russia's colonial activities advanced almost [-] kilometers to the east, encroaching on a vast area from the Ob River to the Pacific coast.

At that time, most of the ethnic groups in Eastern Siberia were still in the stage of clan society development. A small group of Russian adventurers, driven by the huge profits of fur, advanced along the river, killing and capturing a large number of indigenous residents along the way. Russian colonists arrived in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in 1647 and in the northeast corner of Asia in 1648.

At the same time, Russian adventurers set foot in the Heilongjiang River Basin and began to occupy Chinese territory. After being attacked head-on by the Qing Dynasty, they were forced to agree to peace negotiations. In 1689, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed, which legally affirmed that the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, including Sakhalin Island, were all Chinese territories.

These are the histories of later generations, but this life is roughly the same, except that when the Russian adventurers came to the border of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was quite different. Well, it may have been good at the beginning, and the Russian adventurers still took advantage of it Yes, because at that time the Qing Dynasty hadn’t realized the power of firearms, or they already knew the power of firearms, but in fact they didn’t bother to use firearms. Those who used firearms were some prisoners of the Ming army, or Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, Fortunately for these people, when the Russian adventurers were not aware of it in the Qing Dynasty and did not take precautions, they achieved some victories and successfully gained a firm foothold at the gate of the Qing Dynasty.

And it developed, built cities, and started colonial activities, harassing the people of the Qing Dynasty, and capturing some Mongolian tribes and Jurchen people who were still in their original state. , and when most of the land was captured by the Jinhua Rebels, the Qing Dynasty began to develop firearms, but only limited to the Han Army Banner and Green Battalion soldiers, and the Qing soldiers still disdain these firearms.
