Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

What Li Chengyan didn't tell Little Ellis was that it doesn't matter even if the Ottoman Empire can imitate the treasure ships - Daming is now focusing on developing iron-clad ships, and wooden treasure ships will be targets in future naval battles...

Archer, who was vaguely speculating about this but not sure what he was thinking in his mind, pondered for a long time before speaking again: "If this is the case, then I would like to trouble your East India Company to purchase for us. Several warships to form a complete battleship formation."

Seeing the look of embarrassment on little Ellis' face, Archer waved his hand and said, "Silver coins are not a problem! The great Muhammad has approved enough silver coins!"

Little Ellis suddenly laughed and said: "My uncle once told me that any problem that can be solved by silver coins is not a problem. If it cannot be solved, it must be because of insufficient silver coins.

Congratulations, great Governor, you will see a whole fleet of warships by this time next year, provided you have prepared enough silver coins. "

Archer nodded just now, and was about to brag a few more words when he saw his entourage rushing over with an Ottoman envoy.

Seeing the envoy's solemn expression, Archer nodded to pay tribute to little Ellis, and then led the envoy to avoid little Ellis: "Did the caliph know the news about the fleet, did he send you over to check? Or is there any change?" ?”

The messenger's expression showed a trace of grief: "Although I shouldn't tell you this sad news at this time, the Caliph may not be able to see this fleet for the time being."

Archer suddenly laughed: "You must be joking about the caliph's physical condition, but this is not funny, it will bring you trouble instead!"

A hint of hatred appeared on the messenger's face: "No, I'm not joking. The damned Mughals sent people to assassinate the traveling caliph. Although they failed, the caliph was also seriously injured."

Archer, who still couldn't believe the news, was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Then why are you here? Just to inform me of this news?"

"It's not just to inform you of this news." After shaking his head, the envoy continued: "After the caliph was seriously injured, he no longer has the energy to deal with government affairs, and the current government affairs are completely handled by the Elder's House.

Now the notice I bring to you is to ask the navy to form combat power as soon as possible. After the army's training is completed, it will attack the Mughals in all directions by land and sea! "

After sending people to settle the envoys, Archer found little Ellis again, and asked for more warships now.

Little Ellis naturally doesn't care, as long as the current goods are shipped back to Europe, there will naturally be plenty of time to go to Daming again.

However, Archer was extremely dissatisfied: "Now, all your goods have been bought by the Ottoman Empire, and then you will go to the Ming Empire to help us buy more warships?"

Little Ellis naturally didn't care - the goods he brought back this time were of a reserve nature, and would not affect the raging war in Europe, so it would be better to sell favors to Osman.

The same news also reached Daming.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Guoxing curiously: "This is really Ozerambu's own decision?"

Wang Guoxing bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, according to the news that has been sent back so far, it is indeed the decision made by Ozerambu himself, and it has nothing to do with Jin Yiwei or the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."

Zhang Zhiji also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Jinyiwei on the Mughal side sent back the news, otherwise, this crap would have been yellow mud falling into the crotch, and it would have turned into shit if it wasn't shit.

It is not a big problem for the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies to send people to kill Muhammad, nor does it lack the strength. The problem is that they just decided to keep Muhammad a few days ago, and sent people to kill him later. How to explain this to Emperor Chongzhen?

Wang Guoxing and Zhang Zhiji had the same thoughts, that's why he was in such a hurry to get rid of the relationship - the situation of Jin Yiwei acting without edict is absolutely not allowed to happen, otherwise he will definitely bear the brunt of being held accountable.

What's more, it is impossible for Jin Yiwei to kill someone but not be able to kill him, unless Jin Yiwei deliberately left Muhammad with his life.

Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "This is interesting. At first, I was thinking about sending someone to cause trouble for Muhammad, and let them confront Mughal sooner or later. Now Looks like it's not needed."

From Emperor Chongzhen's point of view, it doesn't really matter whether this matter was done by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, or whether it was done by the Jinyiwei.

What matters is that Muhammad survived his injuries.

If Muhammad dies now, the Ottoman Empire will either face a situation where the young master is coming to court, or a situation where ministers will fight for power and profit to support the new king.

Once one of these two situations occurs, it is certain that Ottomandi will fall into turmoil. It is estimated that there will be no time to think about Mughal for a while.

Well now, Muhammad did not die, and the hatred of the entire Ottoman Empire was attracted to Mughal. Not only did he have no time to pay attention to the chaos in Europe, but he also had no time to think about other things.

After deliberating for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Let the Nanbei Industrial Group increase production, especially the treasure ships and blessing ships, refurbish the old ones, and sell a few more ships to Osman."

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said: "After this incident, Osman might devote all his power to attack the Mughals. It's hard to say whether the Mughals can hold on."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "Send someone to contact the Mughals and support them with more arms. Don't be killed by Osman early."

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Guoxing again: "When necessary, provide some information about Ottoman to the Mughal side, and let the Mughal side support it no matter what."

For Emperor Chongzhen and Ming, whether Mughal is dead or not is not the key at all, the key is not to let Osman win too happily.

The main reason is the amount of engineering in Ming Dynasty-the railway alone requires a steady stream of labor, which is why Emperor Chongzhen did not completely kill Mughal.

Only when those hostile countries still exist, can Ming Dynasty have a steady stream of laborers to use.

After Zhang Zhiji bowed in response, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked, "By the way, how is the situation in the north?"

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Beishan is now ready to march westward, and Xiahou's troops have now turned back to Hang'ai Mountain to rest and prepare to go north from Hang'ai Mountain to directly cut off the Maonu's retreat in the east.

As for Amin and Manggurtai's troops, because of Manggurtai's body and the need to defend against the direction of the Mughals, Manggurtai can only be left behind, and Amin will carry the Zhenglan Banner , Join Wusizang and several guards on the side of Dogansi to march northwestward, directly marching into the Ural Mountains.

If the battle plan goes well, the entire Tsarist Russia will be completely divided into three parts, one part is the main body of Tsarist Russia west of the Urals, the other part is the West Siberia Plain from the Urals to the Yenisei River, and the remaining part is the Central Siberia Plain and East Siberia. part.

Except for its main body, the remaining two parts are unable to take care of each other because of Xiahou's subordinates. Also because of Amin's subordinates, they will no longer be able to obtain supplies from Tsarist Russia. In the end, they can only be slaughtered by Ming Dynasty. "

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding his head, Zhang Zhiji went on to say, "It's just that there is still one problem, and His Majesty's approval is still needed."

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became curious: "What's the problem?"

Chapter 828 The Rat Licks the Cat

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Qizuo, I think we should call up another group of veterans, at least a million or so."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes narrowed suddenly—conscripting millions of retired soldiers?

Zhang Zhiji continued: "Your Majesty, places such as Leshi Grassland, Wusizang, Nuergandusi, and Beishan are all lands with vast land and sparsely populated areas. No matter the number of people or the number of cities, Monan is the same. Very few.

Now that my Ming Dynasty is attacking Tsarist Russia head-on, if the existing railways and guards in northern Xinjiang are used to undertake the transfer of soldiers and materials, the time and cost required will be astronomical.

The minister thought that it would be better to recruit a group of retired soldiers. Even if these people are not allowed to go to the front line, they can be allowed to complete the transfer of materials that cannot be completed by the railway. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to Wang Chengen: "Send someone to find Elder Lu Ge."

Then Lu Xiangsheng exploded.

Lu Xiangsheng was originally a staunch military member, the premise was that Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Xuanda.

Now that Lu Xiang has been promoted to be the chief minister of the cabinet, he naturally no longer only considers military aspects, but focuses on matters above the court.

It is not a big deal to recruit a million retired soldiers. Based on the population base of Ming Dynasty and the number of retired soldiers, let alone 100 million, even 200 million is only a matter of a few days.

However, the impact on the folks is too great - most of these retired soldiers have entered the county government, and are under the command of the county captain to arrest and arrest robbers. Once these people are recruited, who will be responsible for the public security Responsible?

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng whose nose is not nose and eyes are not eyes, Zhang Zhiji still laughed and said: "If these retired soldiers are not recruited, then in places where the Northern Xinjiang Railway does not reach, people will have to be recruited to complete the transfer of materials?"

Hearing Zhang Zhiji's half plea and half threat, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing angrily: "How incompetent must your military government be to need civilians to complete the transfer of supplies? Do you want to talk to Wu Butang? Next year's military spending?"

This bad old man surnamed Lu is really not a thing!
