The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

It is still very difficult and dangerous for the Sea Dragon Guard Squadron to cross the ocean from North America to explore the land of China.

Although it is also dangerous to explore the interior of Mexico in later generations, it is much less dangerous and easier to do than crossing the ocean.

So, on the second day in Longshou County, Liu Sheng recruited Chen Bo, Shi Lang, and Zhang Shuiqing.

"I still hope to learn about the situation in Mexico City as soon as possible."

Liu Sheng got straight to the point.

"When the southbound detachment was exploring previously, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the Central American area was even hotter, and there might even be miasma, making it difficult to explore deep into the interior."

"But now that winter is approaching, it will be much cooler there, so it's a good opportunity to explore further inland."

"After that, I will order you to select people from Weichu County and Longshou County to form two inland exploration teams of 100 people."

"The team must not only have elite combat personnel, but also people who are proficient in and good at learning the native language."

"The most important thing is to have people who can understand geography and are proficient in wilderness survival and exploration."

"Of course, the dispatch and support work is still the responsibility of your Third Sea Dragon Guard Regiment."

After hearing Liu Sheng's words, Chen Bo and the other three took the order together.

Then Chen Bo said, "If an inland exploration team is formed, there should be many suitable candidates in the expedition teams in Weichu and Longshou counties."

Chen Bo wants someone again.

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "I said that you can choose the personnel from Weichu and Longshou counties, and the equipment you need will be given priority."

Chen Bo and the others immediately performed a military salute and loudly said: "The Third Regiment of the First Brigade of Hailongwei guarantees to complete the mission!"

Liu Sheng returned the military salute and said: "Next year, Hailongwei plans to expand into three brigades. At that time, it will be expanded into one brigade with the soldiers of your third regiment as the backbone."

Chen Bo, Shi Lang, and Zhang Shuiqing all looked happy when they heard this.

They had previously explored along the west coast of North America and had made some achievements.

But in general, it is not a great achievement, it is just a slight improvement in the ranks of some generals.

But if the third regiment is expanded into a brigade, then their military positions and ranks will most likely be raised by an entire level.

Of course, whether they can ultimately be promoted as the establishment expands depends on their subsequent performance.

After thinking about this, the three of them decided to do their best to complete the exploration mission assigned by Liu Sheng.

···
In early December, Liu Sheng returned to Nanjing.

He had to deal with the squeezed government affairs for more than a month for several days in a row.

Among these matters, the most important is naturally military affairs, or military intelligence.

In the past year, Da'ei was busy with internal affairs, recuperating, and relieving the physical and mental fatigue caused by successive years of war on the soldiers.

But according to the information obtained by Xunfengwei, in the past year, both Li Shun in the northwest and the Manchu Qing in the northeast made great military moves.

Li Shun not only captured the entire Turpan Basin before the arrival of summer.

This autumn, it even blocked the joint attack of the Yarkand Khanate, the Khoshuote Khanate and the Oara Khoshote Department!
However, according to the intelligence returned by Xunfengwei's senior spies, the reason why Li Zicheng was able to block the joint attack of the three parties was not only because the Shun army's combat power was indeed much stronger than that of the three parties, but also because of his adoption of foreign policy.

Li Shun's goal was actually clear when they chose to flee westward, that is, the Western Regions.

To be more precise, it was to capture the Yarkand Khanate and even further west.

As for Qinghai, which originally attacked the Heshuote Khanate, it was purely because the piece of "meat" was too fat and it was right next to the mouth. Li Shunjun and his ministers really couldn't control it.

In addition, it is to establish prestige, lest the Heshuote Khanate and the Heshuote Ministry think that they are easy to bully.

Therefore, after learning that the three parties were about to join forces to attack, Li sent envoys to the Kashote Khanate and the Keshote Ministry to lobby.

On the surface, he was trying to persuade these two parties to make amends with Dashun, but in fact, he wanted these two parties to understand that their real target in Dashun was Ye Erqiang, not Heshuote.

really.

After this incident.

In the autumn joint attack agreed upon by the three parties, both the Khoshuote Khanate and Khoshuote troops Li Shun's attacks had reservations.

Li Zicheng took the opportunity to secretly gather the main elite troops and defeated the invading Yarkand Khanate army under the city of Hami.

In one battle, tens of thousands were beheaded and tens of thousands captured!

With this battle, Shunjun can be said to be powerful in the Western Regions!
When he learned about this, Liu Sheng not only did not show a solemn expression, but instead smiled.

Li Shun originally stayed here on purpose to serve as a sword for Damei to reopen the Western Regions. Now it seems that this knife is quite sharp.

Damei's progress in reopening the Western Region would also be accelerated a lot. How could he not be happy?
As for being injured by the knife, Liu Sheng was not worried at all.

It’s the same sentence as before.

As a time traveler, he almost unified the land of China. In this case, if Li Shun was to overtake him in military strength, it would be better to give up the throne to Li Zicheng.

As for Qinglu.

This spring, they began to invade North Korea's Yellow Sea Road. Although Da'ei "supported" North Korea with a batch of muskets, artillery, and armor, the Qing captives were slightly hindered in their invasion of the Yellow Sea Road.

But in the end, they defeated the North Korean army in November and occupied the entire Hwanghaido.

Qinglu even took advantage of the victory to pursue, and even occupied part of Jiangyuan Road.

If it weren't for the relatively powerful rebel forces in North Korea and the slight pressure exerted by Da'an in western Liaoning, I'm afraid the Qing Dynasty would have taken Seoul in one fell swoop like the previous two times.

In addition to invading Korean territory to the south, the Qing Dynasty also carried out a mountain-hunting strategy in Laolinzi (Daxinganling) this year, arresting wild Jurchens and harvesting more than a thousand young men to enrich the Eight Banners Manchurian troops.

However, in the past year, Qinglu's military affairs have not been smooth sailing.

The relationship between the three major Mongolian tribes in Mobei and the Manchu Qing Dynasty became increasingly alienated, and their tribute was even more perfunctory.

Even in Mongolia, several tribes broke away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty and fell into the arms of Dawei.

If it had been the pre-Ming Dynasty, the Qing government would have sent out troops to destroy them as soon as possible to serve as a warning to others.

But now, Da'ei's tens of thousands of standing troops on the border of Hebei are like a sharp knife chosen by the Qing government, making them dare not act rashly and can only acquiesce in the rebellion of those Mongolian tribes.

And this made other tribes in Monan Mongolia also have different ideas, and the trade and even document exchanges between the leaders of various tribes and Damei became more and more frequent.

Although the Qing court knew that if things continued like this, the Monan Mongolian tribes would break away from their rule sooner or later, there was nothing they could do.

After Liu Sheng learned about the general military intelligence of the Qing Dynasty, he frowned.

Immediately, the Secretariat was asked to specifically select war information about its invasion of Hwanghae Province and Gangwon Province and send it to the Staff Department of the Military Academy for analysis.

The next afternoon.

Ma Shimin and Zhu Dadian came to see him.

After the ceremony, Ma Shimin said directly: "Your Majesty, looking at the battles in which the Qing invaders captured Huanghai Road and Jiangyuan Road, there is indeed something strange."

Liu Sheng: "What's so strange? Tell me in detail."

Therefore, Ma Shimin took out several important battles between the Qing army and the Korean army for analysis.

At the end of the story, he said: "Through these few battles, I can conclude that the Qing captives have a lot of spare power. It can even be said that they intend to control the progress of the war."

"If the Qing rebels attack with all their strength, even if the North Korean army has guns and other weapons purchased from our country, there is a high probability that the entire army will be annihilated."

"In this case, the Qing Dynasties may now have occupied Gyeonggi Province, and even Gangwon Province and Chungcheong Province, instead of just occupying Hwanghae Province."

Zhu Dadian also continued, "Your Majesty, judging from this information, the Qing captives may have an insight into our Dahei's strategy of 'driving away wolves and chasing deer'."

"So he took advantage of the strategy and deliberately controlled the speed of annexing North Korea to delay the time for us to take over Liao."

Liu Sheng nodded after hearing this, "I also read the Xunfengwei's intelligence and felt that the Qing Dynasty intends to slow down the speed of annexing North Korea. This time, I asked the staff to analyze those battles."

"Now it seems that it is not my conjecture, but that Qinglu did have this intention. In this situation, how do you think I should deal with it?"

Ma Shimin said, "We should send troops to capture western Liaoning, put more pressure on the Qing captives, and force them to annex North Korea as soon as possible."

Zhu Dadian added, "You can also send envoys to persuade the Monan Mongolian tribes to break away from the puppet Qing Dynasty."

"Then the navy will be dispatched to cruise in the Liaodi Gulf, and the navy will land in Liaodi and attack Shenyang directly!"

"Hahaha," Liu Sheng smiled after hearing this, and said, "Zhu Qing's strategy of landing the navy in Liao and attacking Shenyang is really a good one. If we don't have to use Qinglu as a wolf, I am really prepared to use this strategy to kill him quickly. Of."

After a pause, Liu Sheng continued, "In that case, after the two beloved ministers return, let the staff discuss taking control of Liaoxi after next spring to force the Qing captives to speed up the war to annihilate North Korea."

The two of them bowed and raised their hands together, "I obey!"

After the two left Tianxin Palace, Liu Sheng came up with another secret information about Qinglu.

After reading it again, a sneer appeared on his lips.

'Building a shipyard secretly in Vladivostok? Please ask Xiyi to supervise the construction of large ships? Sure enough, if you don’t push hard, you don’t know how far you can go. '

After collecting the secret report again, Liu Sheng sat back on the throne and continued to review the memorial as if nothing had happened. (End of chapter)
