Chapter 535 Chahar
Although Dong Dashan understood what Zhu Yicheng was referring to, he still felt that Zhu Yicheng seemed to be a little bit of a big deal. In his opinion, he was just a barbarian of less than a hundred people. The appearance of these Rakshasa people was just a trivial matter, not to mention that the other party did not take advantage of this battle, so why did Zhu Yicheng do this?
Besides, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is only surviving now. Everyone in the world can see that the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable to restore China. Even the Qing Dynasty that occupied the world was like this, let alone a few Rakshasa people? In the battle of the South China Sea, the Portuguese fleet was so fierce that it did not stop the Ming Dynasty. Are they still afraid of these Rakshasa people?
Dong Dashan was an excellent general, but his eyes were far from Zhu Yicheng after all. Even Zhuang Yan did not see the problem from the battle of Huaian. He just sent it to the capital in the form of an ordinary military newspaper.
But Zhu Yicheng is different. In Zhu Yicheng's view, whether it was the Portuguese fleet at that time, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries that had outstanding strength in Southeast Asia, or Britain that had begun to rise gradually, France, which was known as the largest European power, the threat to the Ming Dynasty was far less than that of Tsarist Russia, which was called the Rakshasa Kingdom in this era.
Looking at modern history, although Western countries took advantage of the late Qing Dynasty to open China's doors with strong ships and powerful guns, thus allowing China to enter the darkest period in modern history. But in fact, as early as the early Qing Dynasty, Russia's plunder and harm to China was far from comparable to other countries.
The greedy polar bear has been sucking blood and eating meat from the old empire of China since its appearance in Siberia. For more than a hundred years, with China's continuous weakness, Russia's territory has continued to expand, and the benefits it has gained from China are unimaginable.
Even in the so-called Jaxa Victory and the Treaty of Nebchu described in later science and technology, they were both sing praises to the victory of the Qing Dynasty. But in fact, forty-three square kilometers of territory was ceased, especially the precedent for the "victor" to be ceded, which was unprecedented.
Even in later generations, some so-called experts also distinguished the Qing Dynasty and the Kangxi Emperor. Their reason was that these territories were not areas controlled by the Qing Dynasty, but were actually occupied by Russia long ago. So from this point of view, the so-called ceasing was simply unstoppable, and the signing of the treaty brought peace to the Qing Dynasty for more than a hundred years, etc.
These reasons have deceived many people who don’t know the truth. Anyone with a clear mind understands that if these lands do not belong to China, why would this so-called treaty be written into it? Furthermore, when the ownership of Lake Baikal is used as a reason for discussion, where does the great poet Li Bai go? Where does Su Wu shepherd the sheep? Where did Guo Shoujing go back then?
From this we can see that these so-called reasons do not exist, and the truth of history is often distorted. Now, the Rakshasa people actually appear in Huaian, which makes Zhu Yicheng even more alert. What this means can be imagined.
"Rakshasa is of great importance and must be found out immediately!" Zhu Yicheng insisted on the railway, with no intention of bargaining in his tone. Dong Dashan was shocked. Although he still didn't understand what Zhu Yi was so mobilizing, as a minister, he still responded immediately.
Seeing that Dong Dashan was a little confused, Zhu Yicheng sighed in his heart, and then he slowed down and said: "Rakshasa Kingdom has always been ambition and extremely greedy, so we must guard against it. For nearly a hundred years, Rakshasa Kingdom has not stopped moving eastward. Even though the war broke out with the Qing Dynasty in Yaquesa decades ago, although it suspended its expansion to the east after the war, it has never given up its attempt to invade the East. Now, the Rakshasa people have appeared in Huaian. There is only one possibility, that is, it has secretly joined forces with the Qing Dynasty, trying to take advantage of the opportunity of the great change in China to occupy our territory again."
"Emperor, do you mean that these Rakshasa people are actually helpers found by the Qing Dynasty?" Dong Dashan frowned and said, "But what can more than a hundred people do? Besides, Mongolia has had some contact with Rakshasa people for a long time. Maybe it was not necessarily the case that the Qing Dynasty recruited from Mongolia.
"I'm afraid it's not a recruitment from the people." Zhu Yicheng said with a serious expression: "This matter is not careless. You should know that the Rakshasa Kingdom is a big country with a vast territory and a large population. Tsar Peter is even more talented and has a prosperous national strength. Once the Qing Dynasty joins forces with it, it may not be so with the firearms and military power of the Rakshasa Kingdom to deal with the current situation. You must not be careless. You can go to Beijing in person immediately. I will ask the Jinyiwei and the Tongshi Office to assist you and find out the truth as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Dong Dashan took it seriously and immediately took the order. Zhu Yicheng asked a few more words to ask Dong Dashan to go back and prepare and go north as soon as possible to find out the reason.
After Dong Dashan left, Zhu Yicheng thought about it and found Zhang Ran again, and explained it to the same, and then ordered the Public Affairs Office to assist in the matter.
Just when Zhu Yicheng was deeply alert to the appearance of the Rakshasa people in Huaian, far away in Chahar, Mongolia, a unit was stationed here. The general who led the troops was no one else, but Ortai. Now Ortai has already sealed the General Punishment of the Kipou, and led 40,000 troops composed of the main forces of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia, and Green Camp to gather here.
On one side of the camp, with a bang, a clay pot about a hundred steps ahead was suddenly shattered by lead bullets, and bursts of awesome sounds came from the crowd next to it.
"This musket is good, it's shooting far and accurate." Ortai put down the musket in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"God of General, my Russian musket is the best musket in the world!" A big bearded soldier in a military uniform said proudly. Judging from the golden spikes on his shoulders, he should be a colonel.
In fact, although Russia is now becoming stronger under the leadership of Peter the Great, it still has many gaps compared to European countries, not to mention that it is compared with the French Empire, which can use its own strength to fight against the entire Europe.
Although Russia is not weak now and defeated the European power Sweden not long ago, which made its status in Europe increase, in the eyes of European powers, Russia is still a poor relative in the countryside. Naturally, Russia's firearms are not the most advanced, so what the colonel said is just a boast, and it is simply a lie with his eyes open.
