Among the leaders of the tribal alliance, Baturhun Khan of the Jungar tribe and his son Sengge, etc., were basically wiped out and all were killed!
On the side of the Tsarist Russian army, Khabarov was wounded and was found pretending to be dead in a pile of corpses. He is still alive.
In addition, Shukur Daiqing, the great Khan of the Torgut tribe, a larger tribe, was originally in Tibet and joined the army with Gushi Khan, but was also captured in this war.
Unfortunately, there is no news about Gushi Khan and Yarkand Khan until the news of success was sent out, so it is very likely that they escaped.
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with this result. At least after this battle, the strength of the hostile forces in the western part of the Ming Dynasty, including the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, was greatly weakened. When the Ming Dynasty attacked these places, it would
It will be many times easier.
Of course, it was inevitable that Emperor Chongzhen also told Liu Weichao the content of this good news.
The first is to explain to Liu Weichao what he has achieved so far, and the second is to ask Liu Weichao what he thinks.
Judging from past situations, Liu Weichao was of great help to Ming Dynasty's strategic layout. This is especially true when it comes to foreign countries.
Therefore, as usual, after Emperor Chongzhen told Liu Weichao the contents of the victory report, he asked him: "What do you think of the next actions of the imperial court?"
Liu Weichao thought for a while and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "You and I both know the ferocity of the Tsarist Russian colonists, and we also know that in the original history, the world would eventually be divided up by these colonists, and we, China, would be oppressed by them. However, for
Other Ming people besides you probably don’t understand it well enough!”
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what Liu Weichao was doing by mentioning this, so he asked with a little doubt: "Then?"
Seeing him like this, Liu Weichao knew that he still didn't understand what he was going to say, so he explained to him: "Don't you want to expand the territory? At least the Caucasus oil fields must be captured. Then the Ming army will have to go west.
The attack is very far away, even much farther than the sphere of influence of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the Western Regions. Maybe your people, including your ministers, etc., will not fully understand why the imperial court wants such a distant territory..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he roughly understood what he was thinking, and nodded immediately, but did not speak, and let Liu Weichao continue to finish.
"So the Tsarist Russian colonists captured in this war, especially Khabarov, are the leaders of Tsarist Russia's invasion and colonization in the Far East. You can publicize this matter with great fanfare. Not only go to Liaodong, but also find the Sauron people there.
Let me tell you the cruelty of the Tsarist Russian colonists and tell the people of the Ming Dynasty. Look, the Tsarist Russian colonists reached out to the Ming Dynasty again and participated in the battle of Guihua City. If the imperial court was not strong enough, what happened to the Sauron people would be
This will be what happened to the people of the Ming Dynasty; without the destruction of Tsarist Russia, there will always be these cruel tigers and wolves watching outside the Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right, that's great!" Emperor Chongzhen almost clapped his hands in praise when he heard this, "It just goes with that sentence, anyone who offends our Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!"
Basically, every conversation with Liu Weichao brought more or less surprises, which made Emperor Chongzhen look forward to it even more, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao thought for a moment and continued: "By the way, didn't you catch the Great Khan of the Torgut Department? This can also be a topic!"
Because of Emperor Chongzhen's relationship, Liu Weichao had a more detailed understanding of what happened in the Ming Dynasty. This is the basic quality that a military advisor should have. Otherwise, every time Emperor Chongzhen asked, he would just say wait, I will check first, and then
It seems unprofessional.
For this reason, Liu Weichao found out about the situation of the Turgut Department, and based on the content of the victory report provided by Emperor Chongzhen, he came up with an idea.
"What article?" Emperor Chongzhen looked very concerned after hearing this and asked quickly.
Liu Weichao put his cell phone on the phone holder, freed his hands, and started typing while answering Emperor Chongzhen: "This Torgut tribe, at your time, has moved to the Volga River Basin, which is considered to be the Eastern European plain.
If you can subdue this Torgut tribe and use it for the Ming Dynasty, at least once they get there, the imperial officers and soldiers will have local local snakes as guides, which will definitely reduce a lot of troubles that may seem small but may actually have a big impact!"
When he said this, he had already searched the content he wanted on the computer, then turned to look at his mobile phone, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "By the way, in the original history, this Torgut tribe also happened
It’s something that will go down in history!”
"What happened?" Emperor Chongzhen was also very interested in these things that had happened in history, so he asked immediately.
So, Liu Weichao turned to the computer, looked at the information on it, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "In the original history, Tsarist Russia expanded eastward and asked the Torgut troops to join Russia. After being rejected, they arranged to join Tsarist Russia.
The Cossack tribe moved eastward and oppressed the Torgut tribe, which made the Torgut tribe very difficult. The Great Khan at that time had the idea of returning to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. As a result, he was chased by Tsarist Russia and suffered heavy casualties.
, and then finally returned to the Tianshan Mountains and was accepted by the Manchus."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he clearly grasped Liu Weichao's main purpose in saying this and confirmed to him: "That is to say, the local tribes are relatively repulsive to the Torgut tribe, which has made their life difficult.
?”
"Yes, that's probably the case!" Liu Weichao nodded and replied after hearing this.
In fact, when the Torgut tribe moved westward to the Volga River Basin, it was not because it was an unclaimed land. Instead, they fought all the way and conquered Nogai, Hadai, Kebchak, Jiji, etc.
Only the Tatar tribes such as Gessen occupied the Volga River Basin.
After confirming Liu Weichao's intention, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, agreeing with the idea.
The captives of the Torgut tribe in Eastern Europe are, after all, still yellow people. They have a deep connection with the Ming Dynasty, and they are the type that would be more agreeable to assimilation. If they are just used as free labor, it will be a bit of a loss.
Not to mention, among the Turgut tribe who moved westward, there are actually some herdsmen from the Duerbot tribe and the Heshuote tribe. For these people, it is easier to make them sincerely serve the Ming Dynasty. Without other things, just
All they need is for people from their original tribe to come forward and speak out.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen wrote down this point again, and then asked Liu Weichao if he had any other suggestions. This made Liu Weichao laugh: "That's all I thought of in one moment. As for chasing and killing the remaining enemies, Sun Chuanting definitely
If you have your own ideas, they won't be bad. I can't think of anything for the time being."
Emperor Chongzhen ended the topic after hearing this.
However, it was obvious that he had no intention of hanging up the video communication, but continued to say to Liu Weichao: "By the way, regarding the war in the west, I think the biggest problem in the future will be the restrictions on the imperial officials and troops in terms of message transmission and logistics transportation.
If these two things can be solved, the imperial court's combat power will be enough to crush its western tribal opponents!"
After a pause, he immediately explained: "So, I want to launch a cable telegraph and have asked Song Yingxing to go south to Qiongzhou to take charge of rubber production."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he still needed to add something, so he quickly added: "Judging from the reports from Qiongzhou, some rubber trees are now ready for tapping!"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao immediately smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, the western region is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many deserts and wastelands. What restricted the Ming army's western expedition at this time was indeed the transmission of news and
There are two aspects of logistical support.”
At this point, he didn't wait for Emperor Chongzhen to speak, and continued: "As for logistical support, the best thing is of course the train. This is absolute. You have captured a lot of prisoners anyway, so just build the railway to the west.
Okay. As for messaging, I think limited telegraph is enough..."
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and said quickly: "Don't we need wired telegraphy? But...but didn't you just say that wireless telegraphy...isn't the technology difficult to implement?"
He could no longer remember the specific professional terminology, but he had already kept this matter in mind.
Liu Weichao heard what he said and knew that he had misunderstood, so he shook his head and said: "Wireless telegraph detectors, ore radios, etc., were indeed a bit difficult for your time and the current technical level. I think
Let’s wait and continue to accumulate knowledge in physics, chemistry and other mathematical and physical aspects!”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused and immediately said doubtfully: "Then what do you mean by this?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled slightly and said: "Instead of wired telegraph, go directly to wired telephone. It is much more practical than telegraph, and your scientific level is enough at this time. Not only that, some telegraphs are composed of three parts. These three
Some of them can be applied independently, but they are all very useful things. Even if you still have a certain degree of difficulty, it is definitely worth investing in manpower to get it done!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being overjoyed and said quickly: "Yes, yes, the telephone is much more practical than the telegraph! If a telephone can be made, of course it would be better to make a telephone! By the way, you also said we should separate.
If applied, they will become three very useful things, so what are these?"
From Liu Weichao's words, he seemed to hear a treasure. A telephone consists of three parts. When put together, it is a telephone. When taken apart, it is three kinds of good things. Such a useful thing must be made, no matter how much manpower and material resources are invested.
OK!
Thinking of this, he quickly urged: "Hurry up and come!"
