Xinshun 1730

Chapter 69 Strange Requests
The person who came to replace Liu Yu was a mighty general from the Zhongji camp, and he brought with him more than 400 soldiers from the Zhongji camp.

It is estimated that the imperial court also knows the virtues of the changed government soldiers and frontier soldiers, and someone needs to suppress them.

Otherwise, the ghost knows whether they will run home when they can't hold on and the battle is not going well, so as to guard their little life.As the saying goes, attacking against the wind progresses like the wind, and sticking to the wind against the wind is another skill.

A formidable general of neither high nor low level was sent to lead the navy to cooperate after the arrival of the navy, so as not to make any mistakes.

The order over there was to let Liu Yu take a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp who had gone to Yongning Temple with him, and then select some soldiers from the government who had seen blood in previous battles and performed well.

After the handover, a group of officers quietly came to congratulate Liu Yu.

The fight in the west is not going well. It is said that this is a very bad thing, but people's sorrows and joys are not the same.

All the officers felt that the fight against the west was not going well, didn't it just show that we followed Mr. Liu to fight with prestige here?After going this time, is this going to be promoted?

Liu Yu was not complacent, but asked the mighty general and Du Feng carefully what was going on on the western front.

It is very likely that I will be caught by the emperor to become a firefighter, so it is better to ask what level the elite of the five battalions of the imperial court are, so that I know it well.

The mighty general gave a detailed account of the battle at Mulijiwei in the west, and Liu Yu was shocked... This elite is an elite, and they fought beautifully.

This group of people felt that the fight over there was quite difficult, mainly because of the comparison between Liu Yu's ambush battle and the battle report of the field battle.

But from Liu Yu's point of view, the west is clearly playing well.

This elite combat power is very strong.

It is true that many people died in the early stage because they did not understand the attack and defense of the bastion.

This kind of experience is all practiced, and it is impossible to be born with it.Dead people are an insurmountable price, it's normal, how many people died?The bastion experience obtained in Europe, let alone tens of thousands of people died.

After the heavy artillery suppressed the artillery of the bastion in the later stage, the elite heavy turtledove gunners dispatched by Hetao faced the fire array of the bastion and suppressed it without chaos; The last line of defense was to rely on simple wooden ladders to successfully climb the city.

A strong attack on a bastion guarded by 500 people only killed a thousand people, and in the end, they were able to organize the backbone veterans to fight. This elite combat power is definitely worthy of the word elite.It is estimated that [-] to [-] such troops can be drawn from the whole country, right?

Relatively speaking, with such a strong combat power, as long as the tactics are proper, the few fortresses of the Raksha people here can't be defended at all.When negotiating, it is entirely possible to take a few more bites.

Since the emperor gave the order, Liu Yu did not dare to delay.I selected some Fubing Qingqi to go with them, and found a few local tribesmen as guides.Instead of taking the waterway, we went directly to Mulijiwei through the Duanling Valley Road in Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

When you approach Mulijiwei, you can feel that the defense here is heavily guarded.

The leaders of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes had arrived, but the emperor did not hold an alliance, because the military power was not enough to deter.

In order to prevent any changes in Khalkha Mongolia, nearly 1 emperor's pro-army, Xunwei scattered cavalry, etc., are waiting in full battle.

After the conquered Mulijiwei was briefly repaired, the emperor's tent was temporarily stationed there.

There were no houses that met the specifications, so a big bright yellow tent was used.Several large vermilion tents were also set up in the city, which were prepared for the Mongolian leaders, and the rest of the Mongolian cavalry were stationed outside the city.

There were wooden boats transporting grain and grass on the Nen River, and Mongolian riders were not allowed to set up tents along the river, probably to prevent accidents and make it easier for the emperor to run along the river.

When they arrived outside the city, Duke E, who was fully in charge of the security, received Liu Yu first, and arranged for the people brought by Liu Yu to station near the city.

The matter of receiving rewards for meritorious service cannot be carried out until the battle is over.In addition, the water route taken by Liu Yu's captives, there is no way to show off the might of the army during the war at this time.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, or maybe the atmosphere was too tense, E Guogong didn't say anything extra to Liu Yu, but just patted him on the shoulder and nodded at him.

After resting for half an hour and changing clothes, I heard the emperor's summons.

After entering the big tent, I kowtowed and saluted, cursing my mother in one go, but there was no one else in the tent except the emperor, eunuchs, and imperial guards.

The emperor neither praised nor rewarded, but cut straight to the point and asked directly: "Can you take the castle of the Raksha people in the west with confidence, so as to show the prestige of the imperial army in the eyes of the Khalkha people?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know the height of the castle, the number of defenders, and the quality of the soil. I dare not answer whether or not."

Li Gan hummed, thinking that this was true, and he became impatient again.However, it is extremely rare for Liu Yu to win without arrogance.

"Since your majesty wants to attack the city, I should try my best. I don't know if the big Kongming lantern that I made that day is there?"

The emperor was startled, and only then did he think of that thing.

When it was first made, the capital was shaken, and Liu Yu talked eloquently, saying that he was thinking about border wars, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but in fact, the emperor was conservative and he was going to break up and run to Nanyang.

After Jinshuiqiao questioned, the thing was not returned to Liu Yu immediately.This time, the emperor didn't even think that it would be useful.

Now that Liu Yu said this, the emperor suddenly woke up.

That's right, isn't that thing a siege weapon?Flying to the sky and looking through the binoculars, isn't the situation in the city clear?To the west is a large grassland, trees are hard to find, and it is really impossible to make a watchtower as high as a hot air balloon.

Furthermore, those Khalkha Mongols had never seen this thing before, so it would be a good time to frighten them.

Originally, Li Gan planned to use this war to completely surrender Khalkha Mongols.After a battle, an alliance must be formed, and an alliance requires various preparations.

Mongolians believe in red and yellow religions, both of which are Buddhism, and some animals in Buddhist scriptures have special meanings.

During the alliance, Li Gan was planning to send people from the capital to bring in tribute elephants, lions and other animals. One was to show the imperial style, and the other was to respect their beliefs.

One of the main reasons why Khalkha Mongolia surrendered was that the Raksha people believed in the East, and there were lamas and yellow Buddhist temples in the capital.Getting two elephants to decorate the facade as a sign of auspicious celebration, the Khalkha people are also happy, anyway, it must be closer than Dongzheng who is nagging about the Virgin Mary all day long.

The delivery of these things is slow, but if you take the grassland post station line for eight hundred miles to expedite, some small items can still be shipped quickly.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu didn't know what strange request Liu Yu would make again, so he said, "If you have any other requests, let's talk about them together. Just ask Kuaima to transport them over. You just say, as long as I let Khalkha in this battle People worship."

Liu Yu tentatively asked: "I do have something else I want. However, even though I want it, your majesty has to decide whether it is usable or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"My minister's family also had a few pieces of Western military uniforms from French missionaries. Presumably there must be a lot of Western military uniforms as tribute from the capital of Chaozhong. I invited dozens of sets of blue Western military uniforms from the French country, and one piece from the French country. Blue iris flower flag, a French national flag with a white background. When two armies confront each other, soldiers never tire of cheating; at the negotiating table, it is even more necessary to cheat each other. These few things may be able to swindle the Celestial Dynasty from Rakshasa for several miles of land."

What he asked for was really wild and unconstrained. Li Gan was puzzled for a while, and then he realized it.

"You mean, ask my soldiers to wear them to deceive the Raksha people into thinking that the French are also contributing in this battle? What's the use?"

Just now Liu Yu was just testing it out. If the emperor is not interested, or doesn't want to do it at all, then he has nothing to do.Shut up obediently, continue to climb up, and then consider the problem of opening your eyes to see the world after climbing higher.

Since the emperor didn't deny it immediately, there is obviously a chance.

If you choose an ally, or a potential ally, in Europe at this time, the best target is France.

A French navy can't beat Britain. Britain has now arrived in India, and its power in Southeast Asia is also growing.France has no chance to have any conflict with Dashun for the time being, and the land does not border. The French navy and the East India Company must be played around by the British navy.

The second is that France is a "filial son" of God. It is not as keen on missionary work as Spain or Portugal. It also formed an alliance with Turkey early and captured the Pope and put it under house arrest.With the frequent occurrence of teaching plans within the DPRK and the imminent implementation of the ban on religion, France should also be willing to take this opportunity to replace the dominant position of the Jesuits in China.

The third is that the exchanges between France and Dashun are considered close, and the map with latitude and longitude was also drawn with the help of a group of French.Although France has a picture, it is useless.Before defeating Britain and eating India, it has no ability to covet China at all.If France explodes the seeds and destroys Britain and eats India, and Dashun has not yet completed the initial military reform... then it will not be saved. Wait for the red flag to be fired to save yourself.

Seeing that teaching will be banned after this battle is over, Liu Yu still hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to leave a big window for foreign exchanges.

His "mentor", Minister of the Li government, Zheng Dai Jinxian, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, was about to go to Rome, but without thinking about it, there was no effect. The group of rigid old men in their 80s in Rome could not have this flexibility.

This is nothing more than a symbolic effort by the DPRK and China to silence the Christians of the DPRK in order to ban religion.

Just because of decades of fighting between the Protestantism and the old religion, it is doomed who is the most conservative and who is the Pope. This is a stress reaction and there is no way around it.

It was not until the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo that the Pope allowed the Christians of the Kingdom to worship their ancestors and Confucius.

That’s because in Japan, some religious believers were punished for not worshiping the emperor. By the way, the puppet Manchukuo wanted to worship Confucius to instill slavery education. Then an old paper came out that believed that worshiping ancestors and Confucius was not regarded as idol worship—— Paper, issued in 1258.The reason is also very simple. That year the Mongols captured Baghdad and trampled the Caliph to death. They were on the verge of conquering Jerusalem. Tuo Lei’s daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were both Nestorians and Nestorian Christians. The Crusaders came from Mongolia. In order to lick the Mongols, they had to issue a metaphor, saying that custom worship is not idolatry that violates dogma—of course there is this paper now, but it is impossible for those old men to turn it out at this time .

This war against Russia may be the best opportunity for Dashun to contact the West in decades.

Once the war with Russia is over, the northwest is pacified, and religion is banned, the country is likely to turn conservative.

Although Dashun's official ideology at this time is too derived from Ye Shi, Chen Liang, and the meritorious school merged by Wang Fuzhi and Huang Zongxi, no one can guarantee whether it will take advantage of this storm of banning religion to fully return to the old.It may not be as good as the stress response of a large paramecium under external stimuli, but buried in the dream of heaven.

As long as you don't open your eyes, the outside world doesn't exist.

If he can't take advantage of this opportunity to leave a door for the future, Liu Yu estimates that even if he climbs up in the future, it will be extremely difficult to open the door to see the world.

Now that he deliberately mentioned this matter, he had already asked Du Feng to vaccinate the emperor before, but when he mentioned it again at this time, the emperor was not so surprised.

Liu Yu took advantage of the situation and said: "You can also ask the Duke of Qi to add a clause when negotiating with Luocha. When the king of Poland dies, Luocha should support the father-in-law of the French king to restore the Polish throne, so that the Luocha people can be sure that France is also here. Contribute in battle."

"The throne of Poland has nothing to do with the country. But the so-called negotiation is nothing more than asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot. Once the price is asked, the Raksha people are called to counter the price. It is nothing more than dozens of military uniforms and two flags. If you can exchange Returning even an inch of land will save the blood and sweat of the soldiers. If it is useless, His Majesty will only reward the soldiers to wear it."

"Your Majesty, the banner uniform is nothing but cloth. The cloth is gone, Songjiang cotton and Suzhou brocade, how can they not produce this kind of cloth? But what about the land? May I ask, who can produce even an inch of land in today's world?"

"During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the south of the Yangtze River was wild. How could we know the future? Before Han and Wu, the Western Regions were ignorant, so how could we know the benefits of drilling? Although this place was barren, who dares to say that the Northeast will not be ripe and the world will be full in the future? "
