Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 386 The Appreciation of the Prince of the Qing Dynasty (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass)

The river was fast and rushing by.Maybe it was a few spring rains, or maybe the melted snow in the Tianshan Mountains turned into thousands of streams and waterfalls, which rushed to the lower ground and merged into the Syr Darya River, one of the two mother rivers in the river area.The water level of this big river that nourished the land in the river at the center of the world island finally surged, rolling and rolling all the way west to the Aral Sea, bringing unlimited vitality to the valleys, cities, and grasslands along the way. .This land has also become the most valuable territory in Central Asia!

On the south bank of the Syr Darya River, on the wall of a city that looks quite old and dilapidated, Kangxi Khan of the Great Mongol and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, who had just arrived with his troops, were meeting with Wu Shicong, who came more than a month earlier than him, and an Indian from India. Prince Akbar, Governor Amir Khan, Urut, who was proficient in multiple languages, and Zhuo walked along the walls of the ancient city.Behind a few people, there was a large group of guards in yellow jackets.

On both sides of the Syr Darya River outside the city are green wheat fields, and field soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu are weeding in the fields wearing bamboo hats.Farther away from the north bank of the Syr Darya River, there is an endless grassland, covered with large and small yurts, and countless cattle, sheep and horses, walking happily on the grassland as vast as the sea.

And on the south bank of the Syr Darya, farther away from Khujand City and the campsite of the "Mongol Army", there are also countless tents-this is another military camp, Bukhara-Khiva -The camp of the Persian coalition.

Although the two Central Asian Khanates are Sunny countries with the Ottoman Sultan as their suzerain, their territory and the Ottoman Empire are separated by the Caspian Sea after all, so it is difficult for the Ottoman army to come across the sea.The foreign powers that can really intervene in the river are Persia and the powerful nomadic khanates from the Mughal grasslands.

After the Khans of Bukhara and Khiva found that they were unable to resist the invaders from the grasslands, they immediately sent envoys to the Safavid dynasty of Persia for help.

Although the current Persia has been on the throne twice (not because he was ousted and then came back to power, but when the country was in trouble for the first time after he ascended the throne), the great mage of the Tianfang Sect calculated with his fingers that he ascended the throne at the wrong time, so he chose another Tianfang. Under the rule of the still unlucky Suleiman I, the country has been in decline, but the old foundation of the Safavid dynasty, known as the Third Empire of Persia, is still there.

Therefore, Shah Suleiman I, who worked all day in the harem, still made a decision in the midst of his busy schedule to provide military and economic assistance to the two khanates in the river to help them resist the great Mongolia again. This Mongolia is great again This is no joke!

When Mongolia first became great, Persia was "killed and conquered" by the Mongols, and the Ilkhanate was created. Persia almost turned into a Buddhist or Christian country!

Later, the Tianfang religion in Persia was preserved, but the Mongols still rode on the necks of the Persians to dominate the Persians. It was not until the decline of the Timurid Empire that the Persians had a chance to stand up. And it was not until more than a hundred years ago that Safavid After the establishment of the dynasty, Persia "returned to the world". How long has it been?Why is Mongolia "great" again?

This can not be ignored!

Therefore, Suleiman I, who should have been enjoying peace and happiness in the harem, spent all his money this time in order to continue his debauchery. Not only did he send the British adventurer Robert Shirley to help "first" more than 50 years ago, The new army trained by Shah Abbas I (which was quite new 50 years ago) also sent out the old Turkmen Little Red Riding Hood Army-everyone in this army wore a pointy little red riding hood. 70 years ago, he followed the founder of the Safavid Dynasty, "Sima Yi I", to sweep through Persia!
In the first lunar month, Wu Shicong sent someone to send Kangxi an urgent military report, which said that the Persian army was about to arrive.

And this time the Great Mongolia (Great Qing)-Golden Horde (Junggar)-Chagatai Khanate (Wu Zhou) three-nation coalition fought against the Persian-Bukhara-Khiva three-nation coalition in the Khujand area. Obviously, it is the key battle to determine the ownership of He Zhong.

There are still two spectators in this battle, one is the "Catholic spectator group" headed by Nan Huairen, and the other is the "Hindustan spectator group" led by Akbar and Amir Khan—this expedition jointly initiated by the Qing Dynasty and Wu Zhou The purpose, apart from grabbing some territory in Central Asia as a way out, is to open up trade routes in the Western Regions so as to earn some living expenses.

The key to the successful development of trade routes in the Western Regions lies not only in Central Asia, but also in the willingness of Europe and India to cooperate.

And the combat effectiveness of this so-called Great Mongol State also determines the degree of cooperation between Europe and India. Especially India!
The group had already walked along the city wall of Khujand for a while, from the side of Khujand City close to the Syr Darya, to the south of the city, facing the camp of the Persian-Bukhara-Khiva Allied Forces.

At this time, on the open grassland south of Khujand City, a big battle is about to begin!
The vanguard cavalry from both sides have already started chasing and fighting on the grassland.The cavalry of Persia, Bukhara, and Khiva had very high-quality tall horses, which were fast and powerful, but their opponents were only relatively short Mongolian horses.It seems that the advantage of the cavalry should be on the side of the coalition forces of Persia, Bukhara, and Khiva. But what appeared on the battlefield at this time was that the cavalry of the Great Mongolian Alliance riding on short horses had an overwhelming advantage.

I saw the Wu Zhou Lancers holding super-long bamboo spears forming a team of dozens of cavalry, either in a horizontal formation or in a square formation, rushing back and forth on the open battlefield, and drove groups of Persian cavalry who had almost become frightened birds. The cavalry groups of the three countries of China, Bukhara, and Khiva were smashed one by one-although these cavalry rode better horses, they could not take advantage of their speed at all when fighting in groups. advantage out of.

And once these Persian, Bukhara, and Khiva cavalry disperse, they will become the targets of Kangxi Khan's white armored cavalry and Junggar Musketeer cavalry!
Kangxi's white-armored cavalry are best at melee combat. They often ride in groups of several. Once they see the enemy's scattered cavalry, they will follow them. When you are exhausted, jump forward and use hand-to-hand combat or close-range "face-to-face shooting" to solve the battle!
The performance of the Junggar Musketeers commanded by Anukotun was equally outstanding!

Their role on the battlefield is not to line up and shoot, but to lure the enemy for Wu Zhou's Lancers—they often line up in a horizontal line, holding muskets with lit matchlocks, advance to the vicinity of the enemy's cavalry group, and then fight. Bo salvos, kill as many as you can, retreat after the fight, if the enemy's cavalry does not chase, then they will refill their bullets before coming back.If they pursue, the Junggar musketeers will shoot arrows while leading the enemy to the vicinity of Wu Zhou's cavalry group.
Just the skirmish battle of the cavalry on both sides has already caused heavy losses to the cavalry of Persia, Bukhara, and Khiva!
Seeing that their own cavalry had the upper hand, the morale of the infantry that was lining up on the side of the Great Mongol Alliance was naturally boosted.

On the battlefield, cheers of "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng" came and went.

Kangxi Khan was extremely proud when he saw this scene. He smiled and asked Prince Akbar and Amir Khan in Mongolian robes, "What do you two think of my Mongolian cavalry?"

Amir Khan quickly raised his thumb and said with admiration: "Qiang, you are so strong. I finally opened my eyes this time! It turns out that this is how the invincible cavalry of Mongolia fights!"

Aurangzeb's most beloved son, Prince Akbar, was still a little worried. He frowned and said to Kangxi Khan: "Khan, is the infantry you sent too few? The enemy's infantry exceeds [-], of which It also includes the famous Persian new army and Turkmen red-headed soldiers, but you only sent less than [-] infantry, and the formation is also thin."

Prince Akbar is still very good at learning languages. He could not speak Mongolian when he left Delhi last time, but now he can speak authentic Mongolian with curry flavor.

Kangxi had a bit of trouble listening to it, but he could still understand the general idea, so he laughed immediately: "It's just some local chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow." He turned his head again, smiled and said to Wu Shicong: "Yu Shuai'an answered How about you commanding the whole army today, and Galdan Anta commanding the cavalry?"

"Okay, then leave it to me!" Wu Shizheng was not polite, he took the order with a pat on his chest, and led his guards down to command the battle.

Now Kangxi has also learned how to make people progress with humility. Although he also followed Wu Zhou's prescription to set up an infantry with all flintlock guns, he still can't play with such infantry, and he has to learn from Wu Shicong and Wu Yushuai. .

In addition, Anukodun of the Galdan family is also quite capable of commanding the cavalry. The Lancers of the Wu family, the Baijia soldiers of Kangxi and the musket cavalry of the Junggar tribe can play together. She is really worthy of the surname Bo My dear female general!

In the future, if you have Yushuai's ability to command the infantry, and Anu's ability to command the cavalry, if you can spend more on the military, you may be able to defeat the Northern Expedition of Li Zhongshan, a rebel, and keep the four provinces of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains. up!
When Kangxi was thinking about something good, artillery roared suddenly from the battlefield. He turned his head and saw that the "Great Mongolian Army" on the southern battlefield of Khujand City had already completed their formation and started shelling the enemy troops who were still lining up chaotically on the opposite side. up.

Kangxi nodded, and said to himself: It seems that the formation must be fast, and the opponent must attack before the formation is completed!

He took a closer look and found that the artillery commanded by Wu Shicong was not evenly distributed, but concentrated in the middle of his own side, shelling the enemy's left flank.And the infantry formation on the right wing of our own side is not a horizontal line, but a dense column, and the concentration of troops far exceeds that of the left wing!

In addition, Wu Shicong also concentrated Wu Zhou's Lancers and Qing's White Armored Soldiers on the right flank. Oh, they have already begun to use the gunpowder smoke from the artillery to cover them, and they have begun to detour to the enemy's left side.Judging by this posture, it is necessary to bypass the rear of the enemy's left wing!
The cavalry on the right flank made a detour, and the infantry column on the right attacked again, attacking back and forth. It is difficult for the enemy's left flank to collapse!

Kangxi thought to himself: This Wu Yushuai really has two brushes. Unfortunately, he is from the Wu family!
"dong dong dong"

At this time, Wu Shicong had ordered someone to beat the marching drum!
Kangxi continued to observe, and he found that the right wing of the "Mongolian coalition army" first started to advance under the cover of the artillery fire in the center, and the center line started to push forward after the shelling stopped, and the left wing, which was relatively weak, started to advance last. , and marched relatively slowly. At the same time, Anukodun led the Junggar Musketeers to go around to the right side of the enemy's right flank, and also assumed a posture of outflanking. The infantry phalanx fired and harassed, delaying their movements.

Kangxi has figured it out!

The purpose of this Wu Shicong is to defeat the enemy's left flank first, and then cover their center and right flank.That's why he concentrated his forces on his right wing, but in order to avoid his left wing and the middle lane being broken by the enemy, he adopted the "slash tactic" of the right wing first, then the middle lane, and finally the left wing. First fight first, and then fight later. !

Maybe when our right wing defeated the enemy's left wing, our left wing hadn't fought the enemy's right wing yet!

This method is really high!
Kangxi was excited when he saw Wu Shicong's "slash tactic" he didn't know where he learned it.

Great Mongolia is about to rise again, and the Qing Dynasty is about to be great again!
The Raksha Kingdom and the Mughal region, that is really too vast!
From Tashkent to Moscow, it is more than 6000 miles, and it takes two months to travel a hundred miles a day.In fact, it is still difficult to go so fast. It is not that Maoxiong's horse-drawn sleigh is not fast, but that Fuquan and his party must encounter a spring snowmelt period, and the roads are muddy for almost a month, making it difficult to pass.So Fuquan has traveled for three full months!

Started the journey in two months of the Western calendar, and arrived in Moscow, which is already full of vitality and everything is competing for development, in May!
This road has been going for too long, it has been so long that it has made the wandering prince Fuquan of the Qing Dynasty appreciate in value!

That’s right, it’s appreciation!
It never occurred to Fuquan that his running and the delay on the road would increase his worth.

As for himself, when he arrived in Vladimir City, he learned that his worth had increased.Because at that time the city of Moscow sent an envoy to Vladimir and told him and Yazikov that His Majesty the Tsar would send Princess Sofia to the village of Orekhovo outside Moscow to welcome him, a visitor from the Qing Dynasty!

This made Fuquan a little flattered and fanciful. Princess!How much face does it take to work a princess from a country thousands of miles away from the city to greet her in person?
The tsar wouldn't want to recruit him to be his son-in-law?
Recruit the son-in-law first, and then lend him soldiers to restore the country. It must be like this!
When Fuquan thought of the possibility of borrowing the Raksha soldiers, his energy rose.When I was in Vladimir City, I took a three-day rest on purpose, picked myself up, washed the black robe, and changed into Raksha people's clothing from inside to outside (his own I didn’t bring any luggage), and according to the aesthetics of the Raksha people, I cut off my braids, kept my beard, and found a white horse. So a bearded prince wearing a black robe and riding a white horse went to the place in a graceful manner. Moscow is coming.

Outside Moscow, in the village of Orekhovo.

Early this morning, a large group of Muscovite lords and a big-armed, flesh-faced Princess Sofia came to this very inconspicuous small village!

However, Fuquan still misunderstood. Tsar Feodor III had no intention of marrying his sister to Fuquan, a wandering Qing prince.He sent Sofia to come out to greet him just to show Fuquan’s worth!

Because Fuquan has appreciated in value!

On his way to Moscow, the world situation changed, so that Fuquan, who was not an important prince of the Qing Dynasty, suddenly became very valuable.

There are two reasons for the appreciation of Fuquan. One is that at the end of 1677 in the Americas, there was another "Battle of Acre".

Different from the previous two battles, in this Battle of Acre, the citizens of the city-state of Acre were also armed to participate in the battle. In particular, some mixed-race white people and Indians performed particularly bravely in the battle!

Moreover, the GH revolution in Acapulco also showed signs of spreading. Many Spanish cities on the Pacific coast had riots with mixed-race whites and Indians as the main force.

When the news reached Madrid, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, Juan José, could no longer sit still. He once again sent an envoy to the Netherlands to ask William III to fulfill his obligations as an ally and declare war on the Ming Dynasty!

The second news prompted William III to make up his mind to form an alliance with Spain and Portugal against the Ming Dynasty!

It turned out that it was Daming Yue Trading Company that turned Bintan Island, which was exported to the east of the Strait of Malacca, into a stronghold for Ming's southward expansion, and the news of its wanton fortification spread to the Netherlands.

This is poking William III's lungs!

Although the Straits of Malacca and the East Indies are areas that are not under the control of the Dutch East India Company. Some of these sites are still the territory of the original vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and there are even pirate forces from Ming Dynasty active.But the Dutch still regard this area as their monopoly sphere of influence.

If Da Ming only got involved in the Pacific coast of North America, the Netherlands might ignore it, but now Da Ming has stretched its claws into the world's most important trade hub area, and has occupied a large island as soon as it makes a move. It is quite tough. Fortify it.

What does Daming want to do, William III still can't understand?
So William III finally made up his mind. Before the Franco-Dutch War was over, he concluded an anti-Ming alliance with Spain, and then brought Portugal, which had been bullied by Li Zhongshan before, into the arena.And Spain has drawn in Germany's Habsburg Dynasty and several small states, and began to build a multinational alliance against Ming in Europe.

And the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and the Holy Roman Empire joined forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty, so there must be a powerful country that wants to join forces with the Ming Dynasty - the enemy of the enemy should be a friend, right?
There are currently two such powers, one is France, and the other is the Ottoman Empire that previously opposed the Great Mongol together with Rakshasa.

But whether we want to unite with the Ming Dynasty or oppose the Ming Dynasty, we must first understand the situation in the East?It would be best to find someone who is a real insider in the Eastern Game of Thrones to inquire.

And Fuquan is just such a person!
Can his worth not go up?

How could Feodor and Sofia, who were eager to curry favor with the Western powers, not value Fuquan?
Isn't Fuquan's blessing coming soon?
