I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

"The Dongxue Literature and History Museum shall verify the number of slaughtered by the Eight Banners in Liaodong, Kinki, Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places before and after the Jiashen Tianchang. The mercy of the Holy Father!"

In other words, the blood debt committed by the Eight Banners in those years must be paid in blood.

But the compensation was paid to Daming, not to foreigners.

Even if it is a chicken, a dog, or a cockroach of Daming, it is not your turn to kill Raksha devils.

Therefore, in the end, Zhu Fugui decided to still characterize the Russian massacre of the Bannerman and Daur people as a provocation and violation of the Ming Dynasty by the despicable and shameless Raksha Empire in his external and internal propaganda.

At 7 a.m. on July 7th, Fengdu time, after the Ming government secretly notified its ally Prussia and made a promise that it would not affect the "Pork Operation", it sent a telegram to the world again:

"The Heilongjiang River Basin is the homeland of the Eastern Hu tribes, and the Huaxia has been bound for thousands of years. It is the natural extension of our empire to the northeast territory."

"The foot-washing servant girl of the Raksha barbarians from Mongolia is showing off her troops in the Far East today, slaughtering my soldiers, destroying my property, and treating my Xia people as cattle and sheep. "

"Pseudo-Qing people, eat corpses on a vegetarian diet, don't worry about the people at the bottom, don't save the nation at the top, make Rakshasa (Baiyi in the internal propaganda, Rakshasa in the external propaganda) a low species, humiliate my divine weapon, enslave my race, and be vicious. Still, there have been many generations of violence, the temples are full of hogs and deer, and there are sighs of wolves in the wild. But my emperor Ming, who came out of the east, shaded the summers, and the ancestors' virtues and merits were covered by the world."

"Today, Zhu Yushan (Emperor Zhu Yushan), the great emperor of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, has issued an edict to all ministries. Under the sky and above the thick soil, all my East Asian races, the blood of Yan and Huang, and the descendants of the summers, should respect the Ming and gather their hearts. In judging Siyi, it is appropriate to target one's determination, unite one's group, persevere one's virtue, tie up one's strength, go into battle and retreat, join forces with warriors, and get ugly in the interrogation, so as to show meritorious deeds."

"Therefore, the Ming Empire, the Governor of Washima, the Southern Tang Kingdom, the Southern Chu Kingdom, and the Principality of Seattle, the Principality of Aztec, and the Mayan Kingdom of Colima, and other [-] states, submitted to the Russian Empire and its American colonial territories— —declare war!"

Chapter 455

"It's a disorderly fate, Tang will not obey the order!"

Suzhou, Tang Guogong's shogunate, Li Hongzhang's staff, Zhou Yushan and Sheng Xuanhuai stood on the left side in turn.

On the right side, Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shushan, Wu Changqing, and Pan Dingxin stood.

These people were all Li Hongzhang's confidantes, even Jin Yiwei's spies couldn't get their eyes and ears into this meeting room.

So the conversation here is more casual and unrestrained.

At this time, it was none other than Li Hongzhang himself who shouted "This chaos is fate, Tang will not obey the edict".

In his opinion, some savages died in that remote place than Ninggu Pagoda, and the Manchu Emperor is not in a hurry, you Zhu Fugui, hurry up!

The Russians committed a crime, wouldn’t it be enough if you asked them to pay some money?

The Russians are not willing to pay money, and it will not be too late to learn from them and become famous!

Raising troops because of anger is a taboo for military strategists!

What's more, he even took his own family into it.

"My lord, no!"

Zhou Yushan stepped forward to dissuade him, and stroked the black gauze cap on his head.

According to the Ming system, the higher the official rank, the narrower the Wushamao's wings, and vice versa. Zhou Yushan's slender wings swayed, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"My lord, Emperor Ming is cruel, but he has a youthful heart. He has fought fiercely with France before. This time, when he meets the Raksha country, it is unreasonable and will cause trouble! We in the Southern Tang Dynasty rely on Ming for all our money and supplies. People, you must not disobey that Zhu Fugui!"

"Disobey Zhu Fugui?"

Li Hongzhang is still in his prime now, and he wanted to call himself a widow, but in the end he could only be made a Duke due to irresistible force, so he felt somewhat resentful.

He patted the table and said angrily: "My lord wants to honor the imperial decree of Emperor Zhu, but take a look, is this decree illegal? How can I ask my lord to respect it?"

As he spoke, Li Hongzhang threw a telegram in front of Zhou Yushan.

Picking up the telegram, all the civil and military staff gathered around, and they all took a breath when they saw it.

I saw a short sentence written on the telegram: "I hit the northeast, and the second prince hit the northwest. The first to enter the Gurban Ali Matu will be the king. If you don't drive it, the sixth division will move after Russia!"

The Sixth Division is the title of the Son of Heaven's pro-army in Zhou Li.

Six divisions moved!

It is to use the emperor's own army to punish the princes who are not ministers.

Destroy his country, seize his title, and destroy his ancestral temple, just to make an example!

This is a blatant threat!

Everyone in the Nantang Duke's Mansion felt a chill rise from behind.

This is indeed something that Zhu Fugui who wears Linbei's legs can do.

They couldn't help but think... Mr. Li doesn't know how many shots we can take?

As for Zhu Fugui's promise of becoming a king, the staff and generals automatically ignored it.

What about Xiang Yu and the king who promised Liu Bang to enter Xianyang first, isn't it the same as farting?

Everyone is no longer a newcomer to the officialdom, and the carrot that the boss urges you to work has long since ceased to work.

Previously, Zhou Yushan and others thought that the power of the Ming Dynasty would bring Southern Tang and Southern Chu to the world, as well as a bunch of unheard of states like Seattle, Aztec, Maya, and Colima. It is used to support the scene.

Zhu Fugui's extortion from the Southern Tang Dynasty is probably just to search for some money and food, and force a little donation.

These years guarding the big Shanghai, plus the affluent land of Gusu, relying on Daming to do business in human goods, Li Hongzhang and his family are full of food.

Li Hongzhang personally also has dividends from railway stocks.

Therefore, if Daming needs to donate to lose, Li Hongzhang is very happy to hand in a big red envelope as protection money.

However, Zhu Fugui's request is not the same thing at all.

He actually asked the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty to go out of the northwest to fight head-to-head with the Russians.

Zhu Fugui, a lunatic, actually wants to have two sides!

"Marshal, don't fall into Zhu Ming's plan to kill someone with a knife!"

Liu Mingchuan, the head of the "Four Great King Kongs" under Li Hongzhang, also strode forward, saying, "Commander, it's not the last general who will use his tongue to destroy the prestige of our own army. However, our soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty were originally from the Hunan, Huai, and Chu armies, and they are all southerners." The Northwest has been a place for Qiang and Hu to run horses since ancient times, and it is not a place for our southerners to use their skills! After all, where is this Gurban Alimatu?"

Liu Ming was said to be the sixth in the family, with pockmarks on his face, known as Liuliu pockmarked.

In history, he was not only Li Hongzhang's confidant and beloved general, but also the first governor of Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty, who severely damaged the French army in the Sino-French War.

But on the other hand, as Li Hongzhang's subordinate, Liu Mingchuan was a capitulator like Li Hongzhang on the issue of regaining Xinjiang. He was afraid of fighting with Tsarist Russia and its agents in the northwest, and he did not cherish his homeland in the Western Regions.

Liu Mingchuan's words also represented the aspirations of Li Hongzhang and the Huai army.

Li Hongzhang ordered someone to fetch the map, searched for it with a magnifying glass for a long time, and finally found Gurban Ali Matu in the north of Rehai.

It's just that on this map, Atami has become Lake Issyk-Kul, and Gurban Alimatu has also become another name-Almaty.

If it is said that Jilin Province, the largest coastal province in far China, has been turned into an inland province by sending away the Northeast for free, it can also be understood that the Manchu Qing "hired" Russians to station in the sea, and sending the Northwest Territory is a higher-level mysterious operation.

In October 1864, the Qing Dynasty and Russia signed the Treaty of "Reconnaissance and Division of the Northwest Boundary", and the Qing Dynasty was ceded 10 square kilometers of territory.

Historically, in 1884, Tsarist Russia would force the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Continuation of the Kashgar Boundary Treaty" to further erode the northwest frontier.

Although the "Continued Survey of the Kashgar Boundary Treaty" has not yet been signed, the "Record of the Survey and Division of the Northwest Boundary" has basically cut off most of the land.

Ming Dynasty and all its subjects declared war on Tsarist Russia, so naturally they would not forget this territory.

Regardless of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Western Regions are the core territory of China.

Its core degree is no less than Liaodong, North Korea and the Red River Delta.

In a sense, the Ming Dynasty did not completely control the Western Regions from beginning to end, and could only use Hamiwei to play the sidelines. In fact, as a Chinese orthodoxy, there are certain flaws.

However, finding an external cause for this matter must be the fault of Song Song.

If you want to find the internal cause, you have to start with the story that Ye Xian and the old uncle Zhu Fugui had to tell, which is really a bit embarrassing.

On the contrary, Kang Ma, Qianlong's grandfather and grandson were able to exterminate the family of Ye Xian's descendants, and this achievement does not need to be denied.

In short, for the two pieces of land in the Northeast and the Western Regions, Ming must acquire them.

It's just that Daming didn't have much energy to recover the Outer Western Regions for the time being, so he sent a telegram to Li and Zuo with the idea of ​​hitting two shots if there was no date.

Li Hongzhang and a group of staff took the telegram and the map, stared at it for two days and two nights, but couldn't think of a regulation.

Looking at it horizontally and vertically, this Ming Dynasty thought that he wanted to use the knife of Tsarist Russia to kill the members of Lao Li's family.

Not to mention how much loss there would be if we had to pass through the provincial capital on the way to the Western Regions, even those brats are not easy to mess with!

In the end, Li Hongzhang decided to use a trick in officialdom - procrastination!

Chapter 456 You Must Be Happy To Be Daming's Dog

Li Hongzhang figured it out.

Anyway, the imperial decree issued by Daming was not given to someone like Li. Isn't there a stubborn guy in Zhejiang to stand up to it?

Li Hongzhang knew Zuo Zongtang as a person.

This guy belongs to the temper of a stubborn donkey who whips and walks backwards. Unless it is something he really agrees with, even if the king of heaven comes, don't try to force it.

Zhu Ming asked him to attack the Russians...

Isn't that... isn't it...

Shouldn't it be?

Li Hongzhang lost confidence, and quickly sent out spies to Hangzhou to find out the truth.

It didn't take long for the news to be sent back by Kuaima:

"Report! My lord, the barracks of the Chu army outside the city of Hangzhou are already empty. According to the people of Hangzhou, three days ago, my lord Zuo carried a large coffin, raised 13 troops and [-] civilians, and headed west!"

Li Hongzhang felt dizzy when he heard the words.

"Ji Gao missed me!"

Li Hongzhang yelled, vomited blood and passed out.

……

The declaration of war on Russia this time was relatively hasty.

The most obvious thing is that Ming did not engage in the previous trick of declaring war on France 31 minutes before the start of the war. Instead, before the army was assembled and the non-commissioned officers on leave had not had time to recall, they telegraphed the world and declared war on Russia.

The reason why they put on such a posture is mainly because the outer northeast area is also unable to prepare for battle in a short period of time for both Ming and Russia.

In a sense, fighting in areas east of Lake Baikal, including what the Russians call Amur, Primorye, Sakhalin, Hokkaido, Kamchatka, Chukotka, Alaska, etc. It is not a military capability at all, but a logistical support capability.

Although it is said that fighting in the final analysis is about logistics, this sentence applies everywhere.

But fighting on the polar frozen soil, its significance is far beyond ordinary.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever can make soldiers eat hot noodle soup will win this war!

And when it comes to logistics, to be honest, I am invincible tomorrow!

In fact, due to the not-so-strict economic blockade imposed on Ming by Britain and France, there is a slight problem of overcapacity in Ming now.

The reason why it is said to be slight is mainly because the Washima Governor's Mansion, the tens of millions of property owners in the Qing Dynasty, the Aztec Confederacy, the Southern Confederacy and other places are all part of the dual cycle of the Ming Dynasty's internal and external economy.

Zhu Fugui actively promoted pork to Prussia before, and Zhu Fugui was also a move to find a way out for the Ming pig industry.

In fact, in the past two years, Zhu Fugui relied on Daming's pig farming industry to export pork to future generations and earned a good amount of foreign exchange.

It's a pity that the price of the second senior brother has plummeted in the past two years, which suddenly made Daming's pork a little unsalable.

At present, the per capita pork consumption in Daming has reached 34 kilograms per year, and the total meat consumption is 38 kilograms, which is not far from the 60 kilograms of later generations.

Moreover, since the meat of animals such as bison and moose legally hunted in the Great Western Wilderness was not included in the calculation, the per capita meat consumption of Ming Dynasty was even higher.

Of course, these data do not count the residents of the Japanese Island Protectorate.

Because the female population is dominant and there is a long-term tradition of not eating meat, the current per capita meat consumption in Washima Dogofu is less than 8 kg.

Twice as many Indians as later generations.

But just like this, the Japanese people, who have been the standard for nobles for hundreds of years, are already panicking, feeling that they have suddenly become rich and cannot grasp it.

For the physical and mental health of the Japanese, Zhu Fugui could only make canned pork and sausages and sell them to the Germans in exchange for the golden mark of William's brother.

In addition to the production of food, meat, eggs and milk, the automobile production that Ming is proud of also has overcapacity due to the slow population growth (it has not exceeded 1000 million).

Against such a background, it is a good way out to release production capacity through an all-out war with low intensity and stable consumption.

After hearing this, the Austrian painter absolutely called himself an expert.

In addition, Zhu Fugui had another reason to conquer Tsarist Russia.

That is to completely eliminate the dowry theory in the Northeast of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Although Zhu Fugui didn't quite understand why his own slave's possession of his master's things could be called a dowry, but it is undeniable that there are still many believers in this saying in later generations.
