Fighting a war, for Da Ming, is as simple as eating.

It didn't take much effort to fight Batavia's little red yi, and Zhu Cihong didn't bother to hold a pre-imperial meeting to discuss.

As soon as the deployment in the South China Sea ended, the military planes handed over the war report from the north again.

When Zhu Cihong personally conquered Japan, a small war broke out between the Northern Protectorate and Tsarist Russia in the northern Nebuchu, which was called the "Battle of Nebuchu" by the Ministry of Military Aircraft.

As early as mid-June of the eighth year of Tianwu, the commander of the Russian army, Khabarov, led 200 armed Cossacks from Yaksa to invade the village of Daur, the head of Daur, and looted a lot of things.

The Daur people are one of the Sauron tribes, and the Sauron tribe is the junior brother of the northern capital protectorate, and the younger brother is beaten, and the eldest brother naturally wants to retaliate.

Moreover, the Russians are aggressive, I don't know what to do, and the new capital protector Zhou Yuji is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In order to better run in and grasp the northern army and maintain the national defense of the north, Zhou Yuji, the prince of Dingguo, personally went out and led the army to launch an attack on the Russian Cossack army, defeating the Russian army, recovering Humal Fort and Yaksa City in one fell swoop, and advancing the battle line to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang.

Then, like the Cossack cavalry, the Northern Expeditionary Army formed an adventure team to spy on the northern plains of Siberia and explored all the way to the Bering Strait.

After a lapse of three years, Tsarist Russia made a comeback, and the Tsar sent an army of 3,000 people to kill all the way to the Far East, and built a walled fort in Nebuchu in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, set up fortifications, and used this as a stronghold, trying to continue to burn, kill, loot, and encroach on everywhere.

Zhou Yuji, who got the news, ordered his eldest son Zhou Zhou to be the vanguard officer and took the initiative to attack the Russian army in Nebuchu.

Zhou Yuji has always been known for his iron-blooded management of the army, and after three years of training in the Northern Army, military discipline and drills have made a qualitative leap, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.

Zhou Zhou led 800 men and horses, and conquered Nebuchu in one fell swoop in only three days, killing 2,000 Russian troops, and the rest became ice slaves of the Ming army.

Zhou Yuji said in the war report that the Protectorate of the Northern Empire has pulled the border to Xiaohai (Lake Baikal), from the north of Liaodong, the extreme land, all of which are the land of the Ming Dynasty!

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Cihong laughed three times, highly praised the merits of the Northern Army, and ordered to reward the generals of the Northern Army, promote Zhou Zhou to the deputy capital protector, and add the title of earl.

Zhu Cihong asked the Military Aircraft Department to reply to the Protectorate of the Northern Expedition, and asked the Northern Army to continue to advance to the west and compress the sphere of influence of Tsarist Russia to the west of the Ural Mountains!

According to his strategic plan, after taking over the whole of Siberia, the Northern Protectorate will move westward, and together with the Western Protectorate, he will cross the Tianshan Mountains and penetrate Central Asia!

Speaking of the Tianshan Mountains, Zhu Cihong thought of the Jungar Ministry, so he ordered the Zhungar mission, which was still staying in Nanjing, to meet him.

When the court meeting was about to end, a long and loud voice suddenly came out in the Fengtian Temple:

"Xuanzhun Ger Department Galdan to meet you!"

A short time later, a sturdy young man walked into the Fengtian Hall with two Jungar envoys.

The Great Khan of the Dzungar Khanate, Batur Huntaiji, died in the tenth year of Tianwu, and his sixth son, Galdan, personally led an envoy to Nanjing to report to the Ming Emperor.

Because Zhu Cihong drove to Japan, Galdan stayed in Nanjing, during which he also met the crown prince Zhu and His Majesty, and the two of them of the same age hit it off at first sight and talked very happily.

In the main hall, Galdan's swarthy little face was calm and composed, his right hand was blocked in front of his chest, and he bowed and saluted: "Galdan of the Dzungar Department, meet His Majesty the Great Emperor!" ”

Zhu Cihong looked at him and said with a smile: "Your father Batur is a hero, and I am very impressed with him!" ”

For Batur's achievements, Zhu Cihong praised him from the bottom of his heart.

During his reign, Batur promoted the development of agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts in Dzungaria, and jointly convened a meeting of the lords of the Oirats and Khalkha tribes with the Khalkha Zasaktu Khan, formulated the "Oirat Code", and stabilized Moxi Mongolia.

He also defeated Tsarist Russia and the Kazakh Khanate several times, making it impossible for Tsarist forces to invade Moxi Mongolia.

Batur has always advocated good relations with the Ming Dynasty, and after the five years of Tianwu, after Zhou met Ji and destroyed the Yarkand Khanate, he came to Nanjing in person with 23 leaders of the Oirat Mongol tribes such as Gushi Khan, and met with Zhu Cihong, which promoted the great process of merging the Jungar Khanate and the Heshute Khanate into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

There was a hint of joy on Galdan's face, and he said loudly: "Galdan thanked His Majesty the Great Emperor for his father Khan!" The ministers are willing to follow the example of the first Khan, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Eternal World will be the Heavenly Sage Khan! Defend the northwest frontier for the Ming Dynasty! ”

The ministers couldn't help but look at this little guy again, this person is not surprised at a young age, he is quite ambitious, and he may be a character in the future.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "I understand your loyalty, but you are still young, not a few years older than my crown prince, you still focus on your studies, and then make meritorious contributions to Daming and your people when you become an adult." ”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand lightly and motioned for Wu Zhong to announce the decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: I respectfully accept the mandate of heaven and reign over all nations, and will make the sun and moon shine on the place inside and outside the desert...... Now canonized as the new Great Khan of the Dzungar Khanate, the fifth son of Batur! ...... He still told the people of Erbu that he would obey the orders of Er, and that he would not disobey them, and that he would live in Ertu, and that he would be the ruler of the people......"

In the hall, Galdan looked at Emperor Ming with a bewildered expression, not that he didn't understand, but his reaction after understanding.

According to his ideas, he established a good friendship with the Prince of Daming, and he personally came thousands of miles to the capital of Daming to meet him, and showed his loyalty to the emperor in person, so it should be logical to canonize him as the new Great Khan!

Why did Emperor Ming canonize the fifth brother monk who had never met at once!

Galdan glanced at the tribal elders around him, only to see that the old man was desperately trying to make a look at him, telling him not to be impulsive.

Galdan sighed lightly, and had to honestly accept the order on behalf of the Jungar envoy, and said a stack of words of gratitude to Dade.

Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes slightly and carefully looked at his every move, secretly saying that why are the children now like human spirits?

Galdan was only eleven years old, but he showed an unusual calmness, which made Emperor Zhu feel uneasy, and he was even more convinced that his decision was correct.

He pondered for a long time about the question of the new head of the Dzungar tribe, and finally chose a capable but not ambitious monk.

The Galdan Commander withdrew from the main hall and prepared to return to the Zhunger steppe with his people.

Watching the eagle on the grassland fly away in the future, Zhu Cihong thought about it and issued a second will: to let Galdan enter Lhasa, Tibet, and take Panchen Bokduo as his teacher and receive Buddhist education.

Originally, he wanted to keep Galdan in Nanjing, but he felt that this was too deliberate, and it was obvious at a glance that it was an act of withholding protons, which was easy to cause dissatisfaction among the Dzungar Department and Moxi Mongolia.

When Galdan was born, the upper echelons of the Tibetan Yellow Sect sent people to Dzungaria and identified Galdan as the third incarnation of Tibet's Yin Wehu Tuketu.

With this incident, Zhu Cihong naturally put Galdan in Tibet, which is also a disguised attempt to stabilize Tibet's Yellow Sect and Moxi Mongolia, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

As for the proclamation, Zhu Cihong will send another envoy to the Junggar Department to conclude a new covenant with the monks, allowing the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Western Capital Protectorate and garrison troops in Junggar to jointly prevent the invasion of Tsarist Russia.

Zhu Cihong believes that the monk will be grateful for Dade's consent, after all, his father Batur agreed to the stationing of troops back then.

It's just that the Protectorate of the Western Empire has been busy developing Ili and rarely enters the territory of the Junggar Department in the Tianshan Mountains.
