Great Ming National Teacher

While arms sales were blissful, Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian continued to carry out nationwide military mobilization. They gathered all the ships of the navy from all over the country, including those of Zheng Zhilong, and selected those capable of fighting the battle. It was used, reorganized into various fleets, and formed a new Beihai Fleet. The commander is Yuan Keli's son Yuan Shu.

So far, all naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty have been reorganized. There are four fleets in the North Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, and West China Sea. The people from the Ministry of National Defense were called together to hold a military meeting, and together with Li Yunya, they formulated a strategy to conquer Japan, which was also listed in the second five-year plan, but these were not disclosed to the outside world.

The North Sea Fleet was stationed in Vladivostok at the beginning of its establishment, blocking the Tatar Strait to the north, occupying Sakhalin Island, and the East Sea Fleet was stationed in Busan, occupying Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, and blocking the Tsushima Strait. One south and one north clamp Japan, and the area around the Japanese island is set as a no-go zone. No matter what country's ships appear in this sea area, they will be sunk immediately.

As soon as the ban on sailing was issued, the Netherlands and other countries that often do trade first protested, but it was useless. They still wanted to buy weapons from Ming, and they dared not turn against Ming. A Dutch fleet with two sea shark escorts was attacked. One-third of the ship sank, and the rest were all captured. The goods on board belonged to Daming, and the people on board were asked to redeem each one for 100 taels of silver. As for the usable ships, they were brought back to Tianjin for auction. , and sold it to Spain, which is out of stock, at a [-]% discount.

This time the countries finally gave up completely, knowing that Daming was serious, and no ship from the outside world dared to approach Japan.Ships inside Japan were also unable to get out, including fishing boats. Only occasionally a few escaped successfully, but the number was very small.

However, during the Wanli period, the famous Toyoda Hideyoshi unified the country by force, and then began to formulate a military plan to occupy North Korea first, then conquer China, and then expand to Nanyang.As a country of Japan, because of frequent earthquakes and volcanoes on the island, hurricanes and tsunamis, there are many disasters, and it has always coveted the vast and fertile land of China. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the Battle of Baijiangkou broke out. The Tang Dynasty sent generals Su Dingfang led an army of 13 to aid Silla. He won the first battle and won Japan's obedience. In the following hundreds of years, he sent more than a dozen groups of "envoys to Tang Dynasty" to China to learn Chinese culture, politics, and experience in a comprehensive way.

Until three or 40 years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the country, so he began to think about landing again, to conquer China and North Korea, and to include the territory of "Tang" in the territory of Japan. In just two months, the three capitals and eighteen roads of North Korea They all fell and fought all the way to the south bank of the Yalu River, and asked Ryukyu and Luzon to regard him as Zhengshuo and become a Japanese vassal state.Emperor Wanli sent General Li Rusong to lead his troops to help. After a great battle, they brought Japan back to their hometown.

Iron-like facts prove that as a country, Japan, as long as it is beaten once, it can be honest for a period of time. The length of time is directly proportional to the severity of the beating. You are kind.

The subsequent Japanese invasion of China was exactly the same as the war in the Wanli year. They all wanted to seize China and North Korea first. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Li Yunya was determined to completely deal with Japan.

Now that the Toyotomi family has been killed, Japan has entered the shogunate era. In the original Warring States period, Japan’s foreign trade was relatively developed. It had a large number of trade contacts with China, North Korea, and Southeast Asian countries. Some vassal states gained rapid strength through trade with the West. expansion.After the Tokugawa shogunate took power, it began to issue a national lock-up order, strictly prohibiting trade with Spain, Portugal and other countries. Only the Netherlands has done well, and it has been allowed to trade with China and North Korea, but only in Nagasaki. It also stipulates that Japanese are not allowed to go abroad. Even the manufacture of ocean-going ships was banned.

This time, it was completely blocked by the Ming Navy. Not only was all trade zeroed out, fishing was not allowed even a little farther from the land. The North Sea Fleet led by Yuan Shu set a record of sinking 720 Japanese fishing boats in one day.

Japan's population density has always been very high. At this time, it is roughly estimated that there are already more than 800 million people, all crowded on the disaster-prone island. After the surrounding area is completely blocked, the situation inside can be imagined.

The Tokugawa shogunate was furious and gathered more than 2000 warships to fight the Ming army. In this battle, the two sides invested more than 3000 ships and launched a decisive battle on the Sea of ​​Japan. Lu Xiangsheng sharpened his sword and waited for this day , ordered the two fleets to attack the north and the south. Although the Ming army had few ships, the tonnage was ridiculously large. The flagship Jiaolong ship of the East China Sea Fleet had a displacement of more than 300 tons. A super-sized cannonball, one shot passed, sawdust flying, the ship was broken and people died, and when it encountered a small boat, it rushed over, just like half of the "car crushing the mantis" written in the book. , Sea Shark 22, and the newly built loach boats have all been powered by steam, the sails have been completely thrown away, and the deck is full of various weapons.

The total number of ironclad warships of the Ming army was as high as [-]. They rushed into the pile of Japanese warships like a tiger into a flock of sheep. The sound of guns rumbled and smoke billowed on the boundless flood waves until the wind rose and the clouds closed. Finally, the storm broke out. When it is coming, the two sides withdraw their troops.

The Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and the iron-clad ships without sails made them fear the gods, so they quickly sent people to seek peace with Ming Dynasty, expressing their willingness to change their minds, and no longer want the countries of Ryukyu and Luzon to treat him as the suzerain country, and they are willing to pay tribute every year, every year Pleading a vassal, and sending people to learn China's ironclad ship technology... Of course, they were rejected, and the Ming army did not go ashore, and blocked the surrounding areas of Japan. Japan did not have the guts to drive the remaining ships out to fight another battle. Can work hard to farm at home and be self-sufficient.

While the Northeast was fighting, the Northwest was also fighting. Sun Chuanting led [-] cavalry to sweep across the Western Regions. Li Yunya’s Ming territory was bounded by the Ob River and the Irtysh River in the northwest, and covered Xinjiang in the south until the Pamirs. , Let people build a city, set up a state capital, all the rebel tribes in this part, who refuse to submit, let Sun Chuanting kill them all, or die, or run away, run out of the border and don't care about you, go wherever you like, the Ming army has a strong fighting force , the ammunition is sufficient, and since Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian started selling arms, it has become even more abundant. These tribes that are still bending their bows and shooting eagles are not opponents at all. The more difficult thing is that the Russian Cossacks raised troops. Coming from the Ural Mountains, they burned, killed and looted wherever they encountered people. No matter which tribe they belonged to, they would not hesitate to attack.

The Ming army encountered them several times, warned them a few times, and then began to expel them. The Ming army had advanced weapons, but the area was too large to stop them completely. They could only kill them when they saw them. It was getting bigger and bigger, and at the most one time, a total of 2 cavalrymen fought a decisive battle with the Ming army on the vast Siberian plain. The next six thousand remnants were driven back to the west bank of the Ob River.

Sun Chuanting wrote a memorial about the situation here and sent it to Beijing. Some people suggested that these barren lands be abandoned. It is unwise for the Ming army to waste money and food for these places. Moreover, the Russian army is stronger than the original Qing Dynasty, so it is necessary to build defenses. The battle lines are longer.

Li Yunya resolutely opposed these people's suggestions, and published a special article in the newspaper "One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, [-] million young people and [-] million soldiers", clearly telling everyone the concepts of land, border, country, and nation. Zhu Youjian also made The final decision was made that not an inch of the land of the Ming Dynasty should be lost, and anyone who said to give up the land would be punished as treason!

The tone of defending the soil is set, and the following is how to defend it. At this time, everyone’s opinions tend to build defense lines, even guards. Even Sun Chengzong’s opinion is that, just like the Ningjin defense line was built back then, build a new one across Siberia and The northern line of defense on the Mongolian plateau—they did this as a tactful reminder to Li Yunya of the cost of guarding these places.

Li Yunya disagreed: "We are stronger than them, why should we defend? They can come and kill, why can't we?" He suggested preemptive strikes, using offense as defense, and taking the initiative to attack.

Zhu Youjian finally adopted Li Yunya's suggestion and ordered Sun Chuanting to cross the Ob River and subdue the tribes on the west bank of the Ob River. The Russians urgently mobilized an army of 20, and the two sides started a bloody fight in the Ural Mountains. When they arrived here, the ammunition supply in the rear could not keep up.

This battle killed stumps all over the field, and blood coagulated icebergs. After fighting for more than half a month, only more than 5 Ming troops retreated to the east bank of the Ob River for repairs. Guarding the Ural Mountains, I dare not go east easily.

Zhu Youjian also recruited representatives from the Netherlands, France, and Denmark to express his dissatisfaction sternly, and asked them to convey to his Russian allies that if he dared to covet the eastern territories again, he would punish the Protestant alliance countries on their side. Arms embargo, not a single bullet will be sold to them, and a loan of 3000 million silver dollars will be provided to Spain, and they will also threaten to gather naval and land troops to fight from land to Moscow all the way, and send the South China Sea Fleet to jointly kill Spain with the other way Europe finds the Russians to settle accounts!

This frightened the representatives of all countries. The 30-year war in Europe was already very tragic. The population in Germany died more than 32%. Now with the arms support of the Ming Dynasty, the tragic index has increased several times, and the area covered by the war is even more Guang, the number of deaths is more, and now both sides are a little exhausted, and they can only grit their teeth. If at this time, the Ming Dynasty sends warships over, a battleship Huojiao, four improved cruisers and [-] sea cruisers Shark ships, such a fleet appeared on the European battlefield, no matter which side it helped, it would immediately win an overwhelming victory. This would be a disaster comparable to the doomsday for the coalition forces of various countries on their side!Not to mention refusing to buy bullets.

Representatives of various countries hurried back to report to the king, and all countries immediately practiced with Russia. Russia had just had a bloody fight with the Ming army in the Ural Mountains, and the blood hadn’t been licked clean. After being pressured by other countries, they could only agree and no longer send regular soldiers to enter The area east of the Ob River.

Temporarily solving the problem in Russia, Li Yunya stepped up the construction of cities in the north, and sent experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to redefine the pastures according to factors such as climate and customs. The population made Beiming City, the northernmost city, quickly reach more than [-] households.

Sun Chuanting left [-] cavalry stationed in Xinyuezhou. Since he led the rest of the troops to Qinghai, he mobilized his troops and made preparations for attacking Tibet in the future. In fact, Tibet was originally ruled by the Yuan Dynasty, and troops are still stationed here. Please check After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, the Xuanwei Division, Recruiting Division, Wanhufu, Qianhu, etc. were appointed here, but most of them were local people, and there was no garrison. Tibet has always followed The Mongols kept in touch, and the fourth Dalai Lama later turned out to be the great-grandson of Al Dahan.

In the original history, in the last years of Chongzhen, the Mongols marched into Tibet again, eliminated the Zangba Khan, and established the Heshuote Khan Court to rule the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Today, the tribes of Mongolia are either eliminated by the Ming army or absorbed and assimilated. Either they were forced to move westward. Tibet was nominally still an area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, but it basically had little contact with the central government.

The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and military expenditures are huge. Now the main strategy is placed in the east, and the west can only suspend and ask Sun Chuanting to step up pre-war preparations, and kill them only when the order is given in the future.
