"I congratulate your majesty on regaining the important town in northern Xinjiang," Concubine Zhao congratulated Yingying. Although she is young, she has also been in the palace for several years, and she still has the ability to observe people's words. The major affairs of the country are in the sacrifice and military affairs. Since ancient times, the hero has been the leader.
There is no one who doesn’t like military glory.
"Haha, Yu'er knows that the Rakshasa people have a total of four military districts in Siberia, namely Yakutsk, Yeniseisk, Tomsk, and Tobolsk. Now, I have obtained these four areas.
Third, there is Tobolsk, which is coming soon. In the future, these thousands of miles of ice fields will be the rear of our Ming Dynasty. The land has expanded thousands of miles. Throughout the ages, no king of China has ever had as great a martial arts as me." Zhu Hengjia
Holding the goat's beard, feeling complacent.
"Your Majesty, after you capture Siberia, will you continue to march westward and destroy the Rakshasa Kingdom?" Zhang Yu'er blinked her big bright eyes and asked with admiration.
"Well, I will stop when I hit the Ural Mountains. God is kind to me. As long as the Rakshasa people surrender to me, I can't bear to destroy their tombs." The old emperor did not say that hitting the Ural Mountains was the limit of the Ming Dynasty.
, but put on a compassionate face.
"Your Majesty's holy virtues are spreading and your benevolence is boundless. Even the Rakshasa people are grateful for your Majesty's kindness." Zhang Yu'er's little mouth was very sweet, and she suddenly smiled.
"Why is my beloved concubine laughing?"
"Your Majesty, I think the place names of the Rakshasa people, such as Yakutsk, Yeniseysk, Tomsk, Tobolsk, etc., are very difficult to pronounce, but our Ming Dynasty place names are smooth."

"Oh, my concubine reminded me that these places already belong to China, so it is really inappropriate to use Rakshasa place names again. Well, we have to change them to Chinese place names."
Emperor Guangwu said to himself, "Nerchinsk is originally the name of the Mongolian people, so this province does not need to be renamed. Among the four provinces in northern Xinjiang, I have previously renamed Erkou City to Beihai City and Yeniseisk Military District.
It was changed to Beihai Province. As for Yeniseisk, it means mother river in Kirgiz language. Well, the city was renamed Mother City. The land of Yakutsk was originally Beihai in the Tang Dynasty, so Yakutsk was renamed the Beihai Province.
Tsk Province was changed to New Beihai Province, and Yakutsk Fort was renamed New Beihai City; Tomsk, located to the north of the Altai Mountains, was changed to Shanbei Province, and Tomsk Fort was renamed Shanbei City; the last one
Tobolsk, in my intention, will be the borderland adjacent to the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom in the future. In order to shock the barbarians and commemorate the Western Expedition, I changed it to the Western Expedition, Tobolsk
The fort was renamed "Zhengxicheng".
As worthy of being a great emperor, he had a clear mind and changed the names of places in Tsarist Russia into famous cities of the Han Dynasty while talking and laughing.
After the change, she proudly asked Concubine Zhao: "My dear concubine, how did I make the change?"
The answer was naturally yes, no matter how brave Zhang Yu'er was, she would not dare to spoil the old man's interest.
After the old emperor had finished his addiction to changing his name, he thought again. I had previously appointed the Governor of Beihai to take charge of the four provinces in northern Xinjiang. However, these four provinces are so vast, covering tens of millions of square kilometers. The power of the Governor of Beihai seems to be too great.
It was a little too far, and the distance was too far, so the command remained unchanged. Therefore, the power of the Governor of Beihai was reduced to only govern the two provinces of Beihai and New Beihai; Zhengxi Province and Shanbei Province were removed, and the jurisdiction of the Northwest Governor was newly established.
Poor Yang Weizhi, the newly appointed governor of Beihai, half of his jurisdiction has been reduced before his butt is hot. This is the emperor, supreme. He can change whatever he wants. Who dares to say more?
As for the candidate for the northwest governor, the old emperor was tired of the power struggle between Guan Shouzhen and Sun Jinding, so the candidate for the governor could not be either Guan Dang or Sun Dang.
At first, he was interested in Wang Jiezhi, the left deputy governor and censor. This man was a retired academician named He Wuzhi. He belonged to a different party and was not related to Sun Yat-sen. However, this man had a desire for democracy and freedom.
The younger brother is Wang Fuzhi, the governor of Taiwan. Because Wang Fuzhi published a book advocating strengthening democracy and restricting imperial power, the old emperor changed his position from governor of Baoding to governor of Taiwan to see the effect. Wang Jiezhi was influenced by his brother, and there is a vague democratic style in his poems. Well,
This person can't be of much use, let's take another look.
After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of Zhang Huangyan, the right minister of the Ministry of War. This man was originally a member of King Lu. When King Lu abdicated the throne, he became a vassal and became my member. He has never paid much attention to Guan Shouzhen and Sun Jinding. He is very upright.
He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. When he fought against the Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang, no matter how hard and dangerous it was, he would rather die than change his mind. More importantly, this man was a die-hard royalist with conservative ideas. He believed that if the king lets the minister die, the minister must die.
; The father tells the son to perish, and the son has to perish. Good! This is a good idea! It’s him. With a stroke of his pen, Zhang Huangyan was promoted to the governor of the northwest.
The two sons competed, and the old father was naturally happy. He issued a commendation: "I am very happy that the Western Expeditionary Army is invincible. It is worthy of being the pillar of the country and the backbone of the Ming Dynasty! After returning to Beijing, the court was generous with rewards. However, the road is long and long.
Come on, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, so you must not slack off. It is advisable to pursue the victory while the Rakshasa reinforcements have not arrived, and drive the enemy to the west of the Ural Mountains. If time is tight, you can seize all the land east of the Irqis River and follow the enemy.
Despite the dangers of mountains and rivers, you can advance and retreat freely."
Emperor Guangwu was a great poet, and he liked to write limericks and give them to others when he was happy. This favor was no exception to his son.
First, he gave a song to his second son, King Zhu Ruodeng of Ji:
"Conquest to the West"
The four provinces of northern Xinjiang have been collected.
China has never had this ability.
You are now ordered to go west.
In the territory of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
He also gave a song to his youngest son, King Zhu Ruofeng of Yu:
"Mian'er"
I usually boast about my bow and bow,
Talking on paper is ultimately empty.
Men should make meritorious deeds as early as possible,
Wanli gallop to destroy Xirong.
The old man finished changing the place names, composing poems, and happily viewed the unicorns with Concubine Zhao, and then returned to Qianqing Palace to review the memorials.
Emperor Guangwu was a great military strategist. He gave his son a strategic strategy: before the Rakshasa reinforcements arrived, attack the Ural Mountains in one go and defend the mountains; if time was too tight and it was too late, then attack as far as the Irqis River.
Defending against a river is an experience gained from hundreds of battles. If it can be realized, it would be great.
But the front line is thousands of miles away from Nanjing. How can anyone who is thousands of miles away from the enemy predict things like a god? The old man's combat strategy is based on two assumptions: first, the Rakshasa reinforcements did not arrive that fast;
Second, the Ming army attacked the city at an unusually fast speed.
The Ming army was so overwhelming that Tsar Alexei had trouble sleeping and eating. He repeatedly urged the commander of the reinforcements, his father-in-law, Grand Duke Miloslavsky, to hurry up and hurry up!
Under tremendous pressure, Grand Duke Miloslavsky led his two deputy commanders, Begedov and Kabelov, and a new regiment of 12,000 people to arrive in Tobolsk in just over two months.
After meeting with Erbatov, they gathered 15,000 troops and marched to the Omsk Fortress on the Irtysh River.
After arriving in Omsk, Miloslavsky found out that the Ming army had captured Novosibirsk Fort and Barnaul Fort in the south of Tomsk, but had not yet crossed the Ob River, so he resolutely ordered to cross the Irtysh River.
Prepare to fight the Ming army in the plains east of Omsk.
If you want to fight, I will fight.
Zhu Ruodeng, the Ji king of the Ming Dynasty, also crossed the Ob River at this time and faced off with the Rakshasa army on the plain between the Ob River and the Irtysh River.
