Chapter 558 Chaotic Russia
In July of the fifth year of innovation, Ning Yu met with the various tribes of Monan Mongolia in the capital, as well as the envoys of the three Khalkha Mongolia tribes who ran over from Mobei. The Khanate was defeated and the peace and beauty of Mongolia were completely restored. Everyone present was overwhelmed with gratitude and wished to bring the Chinese army back to Khalkha Mongolia immediately.

You must know that the envoys of the three tribes of Khalkha and Mongols were not born to cry. A large army launched an offensive, causing the three coalition forces of Khalkha on the front line to retreat steadily, and even Tuxietu Khan was almost captured alive by Dace Lingdunduobu!
This time, Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan were completely scared. They calculated that if there is no external support, the Tushetu Khan will become a thing of history by the end of the year at the latest, and the Chechen Khan is relatively weak. , I am afraid that at most it will last until next spring, and at that time, it will be meaningless even if Ning Chu sends troops again.

Therefore, the three tribes of Khalkha sent envoys asking for help, and this time the envoys showed a very humble attitude, saying that as long as Ningchu sends troops, everything will follow the old practice of Monan Mongolia in the future and let Ningchu arrange, of course the premise is It is necessary to keep the wealth of the three parts.

After receiving such good news, Ning Yu naturally would not let it go in vain. He first held a welcome ceremony in Beijing to express his attitude and sincerity as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and then decisively released a plan to personally conquer Mobei The decree can be regarded as further stabilizing the morale of the army.

Regarding the news that the emperor wanted to personally conquer Mobei, the ministers were more or less slanderous. In their view, it was just to deal with the Zhungeer Khanate. Naturally, the Privy Council can plan and there are many generals who can take command. Why let the emperor How about going there in person?Wouldn't it be a big deal if something went wrong?

Therefore, when Ning Yu returned to the palace to rest and was about to eat a piece of watermelon, the privy envoy Ning Zhongyi ignored the criticism and personally came to advise him.

"Your Majesty, the Zhungeer Khanate is not such a powerful enemy. Why do you need your Majesty to take action in person? Doesn't it seem that I, Da Chu, value this generation too much? As a privy envoy, I am willing to share your majesty's worries."

Ning Yu looked at the watermelon in front of him, then at Uncle Wang with a dignified expression in front of him, and smiled immediately: "Uncle Wang, it's hot today, so let's eat a piece of watermelon first. I like it very much.”

Ning Zhongyi naturally wouldn't think about eating watermelon at this time, but how could he refuse the emperor's request?At the moment, I could only pick up one piece and put it in my mouth. I just felt that it was extremely sweet, and it tasted quite refreshing, so I took another piece and started eating.

Seeing that Ning Zhongyi was eating deliciously, Ning Yu also picked up a piece, bit down, and after swallowing the watermelon, he smiled and said: "For me, the battle of the Northern Expedition is no less refreshing than this watermelon. It's all right in front of my eyes, you can eat it if you eat it, but now that it's in front of me, is there any reason not to taste it?"

"Your Majesty, the war is dangerous." Ning Zhongyi wanted to refute again.

"Could it be that the privy envoy doesn't have the confidence to win this battle?" Ning Yu's face was as usual, but this sentence made Ning Zhongyi hesitate slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Said to win?The emperor naturally climbed up the pole; said he can't win?Then he, the privy envoy, might step down immediately.

Ning Zhongyi was originally not good at words, but now he became blushed and his neck was thick, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Ning Zhongyi's expression, Ning Yu didn't need to continue to embarrass him, but said softly: "Uncle Wang should be able to understand that this battle is extremely important. In addition to dealing with the three Khalkha tribes, you also need to deal with the latter The Mongols, in addition to military medicine and war, also have to comfort the Mongols politically, and they can be described as cooking small fish."

What is cooking small fresh?Lifting weight is light, impatient and harmful, quiet is true.

As far as Ning Yu is concerned, after the Northern Expedition, the threat from the north has not diminished. On the contrary, the looming Russians have become Ning Chu's biggest enemy at present.

Someone may ask?Why is Ningchu's biggest enemy right now Russia, not those European countries in Southeast Asia?
The reason is very simple. Ningchu is a land power country right now, and Russia is also a natural land power country. The two sides have stronger resilience in the land struggle. The strange interpretation in history, with the decline of the Qing court, Russia took a few big bites from the Qing court.

Therefore, in Ning Yu's view, the enemy he needs to fight the most is the Russian Empire, and the best way is to dismember this not-so-strong giant so that it will never become a threat to Da Chu again. And right now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To put it simply, according to Ning Yu's understanding, just after the death of Peter the Great, the Russian Empire experienced a series of turmoil. Conspiracies and tricks almost infected the country, and the royal family at the center of its storm suffered repeated twists and turns. If As history develops, the current Russian Empress Ekaterina I should be dead.

What I have to say is that the succession of the Russian Tsar is almost full of drama. As mentioned earlier, when Peter the Great was alive, he and his ex-wife Lopusina gave birth to a child called Alexei, basically The status of the crown prince at that time was confirmed.

It's a pity that under the influence of Lopusina and the surrounding conservative ministers, Alexei also disapproved of Peter the Great's reform measures, and was later suspected of rebellion by Peter the Great and put him in prison. Quite fittingly died in prison, leaving only a three-year-old child, Peter Alexievich, grandson of Peter the Great.

According to the decree at the time, after Alexei's death, the son Peter Petrovich, born to Peter the Great and his second wife Yekaterina, should be the successor to the throne. , becoming a possible heir to the throne.

But here comes the problem. This Russian version of Zhu Yunqi did not get the favor of his grandfather. On the contrary, Peter the Great worried that his grandson was too young and would be used by conservatives to attack his reform cause. Tolerance, so he made a very decisive decision, issued an edict to change the traditional imperial succession law, stipulating that the imperial throne does not have to be passed on to male direct descendants.

The meaning is very simple, whoever I want to be the emperor can become the new tsar of the Russian Empire!
However, it is a pity that Peter the Great died too quickly. He did not have time to designate his heir. Instead, he attracted the attention of countless careerists. It was Marshal Menshikov who held the monarchy in the imperial court.

What happened later became a matter of course. Menshikov launched a coup and lifted Peter the Great's queen, his old lover, to the throne of the tsar. Of course, he was not necessarily out of love, to a large extent just I want to overdo it and create opportunities for myself to be the czar.

Then it passed two years so smoothly, and now Ekaterina I was also sick and died, which made Menshikov start a show operation again. He made an edict without authorization and passed on the throne to the emperor at the age of 11 Peter, and at the same time exiled all his political enemies to Siberia.As a result, the Russian version of Zhu Yunqi officially became the emperor.

Although this is the world line of Ning Yu's original world, I don't know if it is like this now. After all, the two sides are too far apart. If you want to know news from Europe, there will be a delay of at least three or four months, so even if it appears now Ning Yu is not clear about the change.

But in Ning Yu's opinion, such a change should not happen, and even if it does, it doesn't matter, because not only Catherine I is a short-lived ghost, but now the new Tsar Peter II is also a short-lived ghost, the key is A short-lived ghost with no real power.

To put it simply, Marshal Menshikov is too domineering. After he supported Peter II to ascend the throne, he himself became the regent, proclaimed himself the commander-in-chief, and betrothed his daughter Maria to the 11-year-old Peter II, who was [-] years old, took an overview of the state affairs by himself, and began to frantically suppress Peter the Great and other children of Catherine I.

If the story has reached this point, it can only be said that there is a Dong Zhuo-style character in Russia, but the problem is that this Russian version of Dong Zhuo is not strong enough. He also suddenly fell ill and lost his power because of this. It can be seen how important exercise is.

In the years after Menshikov fell ill, the whole of Russia fell into a kind of crazy confusion, and various purges and anti-purges continued to be staged until the death of Peter II and the ascension of Anna I Only then did this rather ruthless queen finally completely suppress the conservatives and stabilize the situation.

In other words, in front of Ning Yu is a Russia that has fallen into the brink of civil strife, and this process will last for at least three years. If this giant is hit hard at this time, it is likely to lead to It came crashing down, and it was going to be the biggest feast.
