Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 899 Military Conference
At the same time that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations were dispatched, Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty was also summoning some of his capable generals in the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor's personal beauty bodyguard Ah Qing, Jinyiwei Commander Qinglong, East Factory Governor Cao Zhengchun, West Factory Governor Yuhuatian, Jinyiwei Deputy Commander Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku were present.

There are also Sun Chengzong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Qi Jiguang, Governor of the Five Armies, Sun Chuanting, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Xia Wanchun, the younger son-in-law, Zheng Chenggong, the eldest son-in-law, Li Dingguo, Huang Degong, Yan Yingyuan, Li Dakai, Zhang Mingzhen, the second son-in-law, and more than 20 important ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that almost all the ministers who held great power and heavy troops in Ming Dynasty were on the list, only some important generals stationed overseas were not present, and almost all others were there.

This was an extremely important meeting prepared by Zhu Youjian to avoid accidents in the country before the imperial conquest. Even the other five ministers who usually did not participate in the military meeting stood aside respectfully.

Today's Qianqing Palace is comparable to the Ming Dynasty Hall. This is also Zhu Youjian's habit. He likes to summon his officials in Qianqing Palace for important state affairs, and then they will pass them on to various departments.

When the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty saw these colleagues around them, they immediately felt that today's meeting was different from usual. In the past, the commanders of Jin Yiwei and Cao Zhengchun Yuhuatian hardly attended this kind of meeting.

The purpose of Zhu Youjian's personal conquest is not the Kazakh Khanate, nor the alliance of the Five Kingdoms and some Mobei Khanates. They are not qualified to let the emperor of Ming Dynasty take the personal conquest, but for the powerful and ambitious Raksha Kingdom .

If it weren't for the extremely difficult environment in the Raksha Kingdom, the Emperor of Ming would not need to send a few troops to send them back to Kiev with ease.But this time is different. Because of the climate problem, the soldiers will face severe supply problems. Without enough food and ammunition, there is no chance of winning this battle.

In the history of the rise of any great country, there are countless crises, even the crisis of subjugation, and the Raksha Kingdom is no exception.However, the reason why Russia has survived these countless crises of national subjugation and is still one of the best big countries in the world has a lot to do with its geographical environment.

Especially in the face of foreign attacks, its harsh geographical environment, especially the famous "Winter General", whose temperature can reach as low as -70°C, is the biggest protection of the Rakshasa nation

The first time "General Winter" showed its power was in 1812.At that time, the French Emperor Napoleon used the excuse that Tsar Alexander I violated the "Tilsit Peace Treaty" and led troops from Prussia, Poland and other countries, totaling 60 troops, to launch a war of aggression against Rakshasa.

As the god of war in Europe, Napoleon and the French army, the number one army in Europe, have won many battles in the early stage. The army of the Raksha country was defeated. Even the capital Moscow was easily captured by Napoleon, but Napoleon never did. Thinking that taking Moscow was the beginning of the nightmare.

On September 1812, 9, Napoleon led his army into Moscow, but he did not expect that the Raksha State implemented the scorched-earth policy of "strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness". The entire city of Moscow was burned down, and Napoleon took only the ruins of the city.

To add insult to injury, since the Rakshasa Kingdom had already entered winter in September, with cold winds and heavy snowfall, the French army, who could not live in the city, could only sleep outside the city, shivering from the cold.Coupled with the harsh climate there, the roads are muddy and difficult for heavy vehicles to pass.

The large amount of food and grass that Napoleon prepared to attack the Raksha country could not be delivered to the front line on time.In addition, the Raksha Kingdom adopted a scorched-earth policy for any attack area of ​​the French army, which caused the French army to find no supplies in the local area to supplement consumption.

As a result, Napoleon had to announce the withdrawal of troops from Moscow after forcibly gritting his teeth in Moscow for nearly a month.At this time, the French army had been hungry, cold and exhausted for many days.

The Raksha State took advantage of this opportunity to pursue the victory, and finally wiped out 57 French troops of more than [-]. Napoleon was also forced to flee in a hurry, and the crisis of Raksha's subjugation was resolved.Facing the "General Winter" of the Raksha Kingdom, even Napoleon, the god of war, has to bow his proud head!
The second time "General Winter" showed his power was during the Great Patriotic War.

In 1941, Germany launched the Barbarossa plan and dispatched about 190 million troops to launch a surprise attack on the former Rakshasa.The Rakshasa Army, which was undergoing military reforms, was caught off guard and lost Kiev, Minsk, Smolensk and other places in a row, and at least 500 million troops were wiped out by the German army.

By October 1941, the German army had already approached the city of Moscow, and some German troops on the front line could even see the minaret of Red Square.But then, the German army quickly realized the power of "General Winter".

Because the German army's Barbarossa plan is based on the use of lightning tactics by the German army to quickly annihilate most of the main force of Rakshasa, occupy Moscow, and force Rakshasa to surrender.Therefore, the German army did not consider winter combat at all when fighting, and the front-line troops did not even distribute cotton coats and frostbite medicine.

What is even more tragic is that the production of automobiles in the German army is seriously insufficient. Except for a few mechanized troops, most of the troops rely on mules and horses to transport supplies, and the roads in Luocha, due to their harsh natural environment, can reach as low as - The temperature of 70°C put the German army into the same predicament as Napoleon.

By December 1941, some German troops on the Moscow front line were so frozen that even the rifles in their hands were so frozen that they couldn't pull the trigger.The Rakshasa Army, which had already adapted to the climate, counterattacked, and finally annihilated 12 German troops, seized the initiative in the entire Patriotic War, and laid a solid foundation for the success of subsequent battles and other series of battles.

It can be seen from this that in the face of the "General Winter" of the Raksha Kingdom, whether it is Napoleon, the first army god in modern times, or the industrialized German army that perished in France in 39 days, they can only tremble.The Raksha Kingdom relied on its harsh geographical environment to completely destroy the immigrants.Could it be that no one can conquer such a high and cold place?

Of course not, the most powerful Mongolian Empire in history easily occupied the Rakshasa Kingdom and ruled them for more than 200 years.

In fact, the early Raksha Kingdom was far less powerful than later. After the death of the ruler of Kievan Rus, the land of Kievan Rus was divided among his sons. The struggle among these sons soon caused the split of Kievan Rus.

Until the Mongol invasion, Kievan Rus had been divided into more than 10 unrelated countries, the largest of which were the Novgorod Republic in the north and Vladimir-Suzdal in the northeast. Principality and Galicia-Volyn Kingdom to the southwest.

To their southeast, in the northern part of the Black Sea, from Crimea to the Caspian Sea and the northern Caucasus, lived the Turkic-speaking Kumans, also known as the Polovtsians or Kipchaks.

To the east of them live the Volga Bulgars. Their relatives entered the Balkans in southeastern Europe hundreds of years ago, conquered the local Slavs and Greeks, and established the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

The small Rus countries and these Turkic peoples sometimes attacked each other, and sometimes formed alliances. Nearly 200 years have passed like this.
