Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 55 World Situation and the Mongolian Threat
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace in the bitter wind and snow. At this time, the dawn had begun to appear on the horizon, but it was difficult to dispel the gloom in his heart. The news that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty really made him feel bad.

Queen Ma didn't sleep well either. She was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace. When she saw Zhu Yuanzhang stepping into Kunning Palace, her eyes were full of concern because Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed when he just returned from Zhongshan Saint Sun Altar. , obviously something happened.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang told her what he saw and heard at the Zhongshan Holy Sun Altar, Empress Ma's eyes flashed with an imperceptible joy.

You must know that the third batch of radio stations transmitted by Dasun through Yin Yang Qihai is of great significance.

The first batch of radio stations established a connection between the imperial palace and Zhongshan Saint Sun Altar, while the second batch connected the entire Ming Dynasty's center with the Thirteen Chief Envoys to form a large network.

But these are not enough for the huge Ming Dynasty.

Because there is another issue involved, and that is the expedition of the Ming army.

Whether it is a large-scale attack on the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, or an attack on the Northern Yuan Prime Minister Nahachu who occupied Liaodong, they are all marching over long distances. In most cases, due to factors such as logistics and battlefield width, the army must be divided. Attack, and communication between the various units is very important.

The most intuitive example of the impact of communications on cold weapon warfare is actually the Battle of Saarhu.

To be honest, if the Ming army had five radio stations, it is hard to say whether they could wipe out Lao Nu, but they would definitely not lose like that, because what Lao Nu is fighting is a time difference, which includes the time difference caused by the marching distance between the units. , also includes the time difference in the transmission of military information. If the latter can be made up, then with the superior strength of the Ming army, Lao Nu must retreat as long as they are encircled.

Now there is a third batch of radio stations. Although there are only six stations, they are enough for the Ming army. It can be said that this has brought unprecedented equipment improvements to the Ming army.

Well, it also brings the consequences of possible micro-manipulation.
In the past, it was still possible to say, "I will not be affected by the emperor's fate." But now I really meet an emperor who likes to play micro-manage, and he can really use the radio to micro-manage thousands of miles.

In addition to the radio station, I also learned about the existence of the military aircraft driver system.

Empress Ma knew very well that for Zhu Yuanzhang, this system was nothing more than giving timely help.

This system can not only help Zhu Yuanzhang get rid of the dilemma of being entangled in government affairs, but also weaken the power of the prime minister to the greatest extent and consolidate the imperial power. This is undoubtedly the help Zhu Yuanzhang needs most at present.

However, what puzzled Empress Ma was that Zhu Yuanzhang's face did not show the expected joy.

Empress Ma stared at him and asked softly: "Chongba, why are you still frowning after such a happy event?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang gave a bitter laugh, he told the truth: "Because this system, Da Sun said, was implemented after the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty."

"Qing Dynasty?" Queen Ma repeated this strange country name in astonishment. She had never heard of this country name, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was also full of confusion.

Apparently, this is something that hasn't happened yet.

The two looked at each other, and an indescribable thought surged in their hearts. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma realized that this must be the "future secret information" obtained by the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying from the underworld. ——This dynasty called "Qing" will replace the Ming Dynasty at some point in the future and become the new ruler of China.

Empress Ma gently held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and her voice was very soft: "Chongba, the change of dynasties is an eternal truth. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song people never thought that they would compete with the Liao Dynasty for hundreds of years. Destroyed by the Jurchens in the deep mountains and forests? The Southern Song Dynasty also could not foresee that the tyrannical Jurchens would be defeated by the Mongols, and they themselves would eventually be overtaken by the Mongols. Who can stop the movement of these fateful tracks?"

"The Ming Dynasty will eventually face such a fate one day, but now with Da Sun's reminder and taking precautions, it may be possible to avoid this disaster, or in other words, not to perish in the hands of this 'Qing Dynasty', and to give the Ming Dynasty a chance to survive." fate, just like if the Northern Song Dynasty did not perish at the hands of the Jurchens, but persisted until the rise of the Mongols."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Queen Ma's consolation, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew very well that Queen Ma was right. The change of dynasty was indeed unavoidable, but if he could predict the future crisis in advance and take measures to deal with it, maybe the Ming Dynasty would be better. It can really reverse the future that Da Sun saw.

"Sister, do you think this 'Qing Dynasty' was established by the Mongols who went south again?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked uneasily.

The Mongols, this terrifying existence that swept across the entire known world a hundred years ago, was the nightmare of countless countries.

No one is sure that one day the Mongols will ride south again and rule the Central Plains.

In fact, this is currently the most likely one among all possibilities in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

After all, the current Beiyuan still has more than 400,000 people who control strings, and has a complete political organization and military structure. They have all the things that the Ming Dynasty had, and Beiyuan has always been obsessed with returning to the Central Plains.

Of course, the most critical issue is that although the Yuan Dynasty became the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the power of the Mongols in the current world is still huge.

Close to the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate established by the Mongols still exists, and further to the west, the Timurid Khanate, which destroyed the Western Chagatai Khanate, is rising day by day. At the far west, the White Horde clan Tokhtamysh He had controlled the main territory of the Kipchak Khanate and became the Great Khan of the Kipchak Khanate.

If you look at the Kantu map, the four countries of Kipchak Khanate, Timur Khanate, Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Northern Yuan Dynasty occupy the entire northern part of the world, which is what is called the "Eurasian Continental Bridge" in post-secular terms. .

They are closely connected, and although they have conflicts with each other, it is obvious that they still have the possibility of union, even if their golden family bloodline is no longer so pure.

In fact, these countries still respect the blood of the Golden Family. This is reflected in Timur's vigorous efforts to intermarry with the nobles of the Golden Family of the destroyed Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and Tokhtamysh's emphasis on the fact that he is the eldest grandson of Genghis Khan, Orda ( The identity and other behaviors of the descendants can be seen.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not sure whether the Timur Khanate and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate would intervene if he sent troops to completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Although the probability of such a thing was low, it was by no means impossible.

"Of course you have to be wary of the Mongols' ambition to make a comeback, but the future that Dasun sees is not necessarily how many years from now. Chongba, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Looking at Queen Ma, a warm current surged in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. He held Queen Ma's hand tightly, with a firm light flashing in his eyes: "When the eldest grandson sends a message through the Yin and Yang Qihai next time, we must pay attention to it in detail." Ask him about the 'Qing Dynasty', and then plan carefully to see how to deal with this enemy who will destroy the Ming Dynasty in the future."
