Chapter 977: War, Sickness

Since the Yongxing Dynasty, the national strength of the Zhou Empire has gradually recovered. According to Jia Huan's plan that day, he began to conquer and pacify the surrounding countries. As the saying goes: if you don't take it, you will be blamed!

Jia Huan's time and space, the country has suffered too much on the terrain.

For example, if the Komsomolsk and the Far East are still in hand, they will face Dongying with a place of victory. Dare to jump on the four islands of Dongying?

For example, Annan has always been a vassal state of China. With this land in hand, can you jump up to the city? Obediently shrinking.

Also, the islands of Luzon.

By the eighth year of Yongxing, when a generation of famous people were in unison, the Zhou Empire was already a great empire that stretched from Khorasan in the west, Siberia in the north, Nanyang Islands in the south, and Dongying in the east.

By this time, the Zhou dynasty had already won the war against the Persian Empire and took possession of Khorasan. And the battle with Tsarist Russia has never subsided. It's just that Armageddon didn't happen. The Far East is cold and sparsely populated.

Geographically, the west of the Ural Mountains can be called Siberia. Siberia is further divided into: the West Siberian Plain, the Central Siberian Plateau, and the East Siberian Mountains.

The strategic situation of the Zhou Dynasty is that from the northeast of Liao, the Outer Khing'an Mountains, East Siberia, Sakhalin Island and other places, to the present day, the vast land of the East Siberian Sea is all owned by the Zhou Dynasty. Establishment of the Tokyo Division.

After the Zhou Dynasty pacified Mobei, it conquered and controlled the Central Siberian Plateau in the form of binding various tribes and forming a servant army. Lake Debaikal and other places. It is possessed of the Central Siberian Plateau.

The Western Siberian Plain was the granary of the Russian Empire. As early as many years under its control. The Mobei tribes often felt the advance of Tsarist Russia back then, and many small tribes were slaughtered by it.

This time, Shen moved out of Saibei. The decisive battle with the Russian army was probably in the eastern part of the West Siberian Plain, in the area of Lake Baikal.

This is a national battle, and all eyes are on it. It must be the famous general Shen Qian to lead the army. In the past few days, Pravda, the newspapers in Beijing, and newspapers in various places have been reporting on this matter one after another. To Yongxing's ten years of scorching summer, it adds a bit of restlessness.

Beijing, Yongfang, Pengfu.

At night, Peng Shijun, the head of the household, was in the study, read the note from the old servant, and burned it on the candle. In the firelight, his expression was uncertain. He whispered, "But! ”

Although, a big war is about to take place in the northern frontier. It's a collision between two huge empires! The strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire was far stronger than that of the Safavid Dynasty of the Persian Empire, but the territory of the Zhou Empire, which spanned tens of thousands of miles, was not peaceful.

It's an inevitability!

You must know that when the dynasty only possessed the Central Plains, natural disasters and man-made disasters were the daily routine in the government, not to mention that the territory is so much larger now?

In the south, the strategic posture of the Zhou Empire was to use the Tocharian governor Pang Ze, who was responsible for attacking Tianzhu and other places. Siam, Piguo, Annam and other places adjacent to the southwest have long been the counties of the dynasty. The border of the southern line has long been pushed to the Nanyang Islands.

With the governor of Luzon Xu Cheng commanding the overall situation, he attacked Luzon, Java, the Sriwijaya Islands, Australia and other places. He had more than 30,000 Zhou troops and about 100,000 servants. Maintain stability in the area of about 30 million people.

Yongxing 10 years, mid-July. A rebellion broke out in Palembang province in southern Java. Xu Cheng, the governor of Luzon, sent a large army to conquer. After the fleet arrived at Palembang, 4,000 Zhou troops and 20,000 servant troops marched inland.

In the Central Plains, when it is already autumn, it is still hot. Zhou Jun was still red, and his clothes were thin. Mainly flintlock pistols. The Servants were short, native, dark-skinned and disorganized in flags.

Wang Guerrilla rode on his horse and watched the procession on the road. There was an indescribable irritability in his heart. Perhaps it was because there had been no major war since the departure, unlike the indigenous rebellions in the South Seas in the past.

At this moment, there was a "whoosh", and a batch of poisoned arrows came from the depths of the dense forest. "Ahh

"Enemy attack!"

In the autumn of the tenth year of Yongxing, the Luzon Governor's Office failed to suppress the rebellion on the island of Java. 5,000 Zhou troops and 20,000 servant troops were ambushed by the rebels. The guerrilla king who led the team was killed. This is the highest-ranking officer to die in Nanyang.

There is intelligence suspicion that the route of the Zhou army was betrayed to the rebels.

This defeat caused a shock in the situation of the Nanyang Islands. For a time, rebellions sprung up everywhere!

The Zhou army was strong in ships and artillery, and these rebellions were not enough to affect the shipping lanes of the South Seas and the rule of the Zhou army in the region. However, it has affected the output of local products.

The battle situation and the local situation were quickly reported to the capital by Xu Cheng, the governor of Luzon, waiting for the decision of the imperial court. The Son of Heaven of Yongxing held a pre-imperial meeting in the Qinzheng Hall of Daming Palace.

University scholars Zeng Jin, Xiao Pi, Yin Peng, Ningru, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials Ning Ru, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hu Xuan, the Ministry of Household Shangshu Peng Shijun, the left capital of the imperial history Li Si, Yue Wang Ning Cheng, the Beijing King Shui Rong, the governor of Tongzhi Xincheng Wang Shen Cheng, the military department Li Shangshu.

All the bachelors in the south study are here: the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Shi Cai Yi of the Zhan Shifu, the bachelor of the Hanlin Chamberlain Ji Cheng, the bachelor of the Hanlin Chamberlain, and the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites Wei Yuanzhen.

Ning Xi's face was slightly pale. Recently, under the weight of the war, he asked the green beauty to accompany him and indulged a little. At this time, sitting on the throne, he looked around at the ministers and said, "All Aiqing will talk about it." ”

The instability of the situation in the South Seas has not affected maritime trade for the time being, but it does not mean that it does not affect it. Moreover, the products of the South Seas are a supplement to the Central Plains. Now, it's basically stopped. This must be resolved in order to avoid a war affecting northern Xinjiang.

Peng Shijun took the lead and said: "The minister thinks that Governor Xu is not strong militarily. It is necessary to dispatch generals quickly and at the least cost to quell the rebellion in the South Seas. After a long delay, it is difficult for the household to pay for the money and food. ”

Later, several important ministers were of this opinion! From the fast, from the heavy, kill a hundred examples!

Xiao Pi, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, did not look at Peng Shijun, and said: "Long live, the minister thinks that he should be a general with a chariot!" ”

In the early days of the Yongxing Dynasty, Zhang Sishui, a cavalry general, led his troops to quell the rebellion in Liaodong, and then went south to defeat the king of Chu in Lingnan, and made great achievements. In the past 10 years, he has been training troops in Beijing. It is a double gem in the army of the country and the dynasty!

Ning Xi nodded lightly, "Okay!" ”

After the dissolution of the imperial meeting, the important ministers came out of the palace of diligence in twos and threes.

When crossing the square, Cai Yi slowed down and chatted with Ji Cheng. "I just want to speak and stop, why?"

Ji Cheng said that he was the "little character" of the academy, but he was actually older than Jia Huan. He was 34 years old. There are two children with Xiangyun. At this time, with a beard and a calm bearing, he said in a low voice: "Bachelor, the hussar general and the chariot general, it is best for the two of them to leave one of them in Beijing to be the sea god needle." ”

Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished! The first army of the hospital raised troops and supported the Son of Heaven. relied on the support of military power and Qi Zhongtang. This year, Chunqi Zhongtang has passed away. The situation has long changed. Don't look at the fact that 10 years have passed since the coup d'état, and it may not be at peace.

Military power must be held in the hands of the military.

Cai Yi groaned slightly. Fang Cai proposed that the Son of Heaven approve of sending Zhang Boren to Nanyang to quell the rebellion.

"Then, why didn't Bo Yan stop it?"

Ji Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "How can you stop the general from making meritorious service?" On the other hand, in such an arrangement, the elite of the world is in the hands of hussar generals and chariot generals. To others, it may not be reassuring. In addition, the military lecture hall has held ten sessions. All the generals and colonels in the army are protégés of the Son of Heaven. As long as the Son of Heaven is still there, there is no danger of accidents! ”

Cai Yi smiled and nodded.

He will talk about it with the Son of Heaven when he comes back.

With Zhang Sishui, an army of 50,000 went south to the South Seas. Jia Huan met him at the port of Huating. In the winter of the tenth year of Yongxing, the north and south ends of the Great Zhou were fighting at the same time!

In the heart hall of Daming Palace, Ning Xi, the son of Yongxing, was lying on the bed. The surrounding eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial doctors knelt on the ground. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

It snowed last night, and the Son of Heaven and the green beauties took advantage of the night to enjoy the snow in the pavilion of the "Bitong Academy". Or maybe they did something else. This morning, the Son of Heaven did not get up, but was a little dizzy and feverish. By this afternoon, the fever had not subsided.

Empress Zhen sat on the edge of the bed with a frosty face, looked at the green beauty kneeling on the ground with a cold expression, and said coldly: "Qing beauty, now you are satisfied?" ”

Qingmei's face was terrified, her face was full of tears, and she said, "Don't dare to concubine!" "That's not what she intended. But how did she refuse to get the Son of Heaven?
