Kangxi's local tyrant Khan withdrew his gaze from Kong Shenggong and Yin Reng, and then slowly glanced at the civil servants and generals in the hall. When he saw that everyone had a proud face and a arrogant look, he nodded invisibly.

.

"I have carefully read the instructions given by the Khan of the Western Qing Dynasty and Sheng Gong to invite troops to fight, as well as the strategy and countermeasures for leaving the Tianshan Mountains in the east, and I feel that the odds of winning are indeed high! I have made up my mind, the Khan of the Western Qing Dynasty, and Sheng Gong Kong will listen to the order!"

After hearing this, Kong Shenggong took a deep breath, and then glanced at "Yinwumu" of Xiqing Khan opposite him. He saw "Yinwumu" standing up from his chair, looking impatient. Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

!

Kong Shenggong had no choice but to stand up and walk to Kang Mazi Khan together with "Yinwu Mu". The two of them knelt down and saluted Kangxi Khan.

"My minister Kong Yuqi is respectfully awaiting the imperial edict of the Great Khan."

"My son, Yinreng, respectfully awaits the imperial edict from Emperor Ama."

Kangxi Khan's demeanor was clear. He was also a battle-hardened veteran. Although he had been implementing the route of favoring India, he had not never thought about the idea of ​​​​conquering the Central Plains and restoring the old mountains and rivers. Moreover, he also discussed with his generals

After studying this issue carefully, I already have a clear idea of ​​the route of the possible Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition.

Generally speaking, if Mongolia, centered on Hezhong, Kazakhstan and northwest India, wants to conquer the Ming Dynasty, there are only two feasible routes, one is to leave the Tianshan Mountains; the other is to cross the Himalayas!

The purpose of leaving the Tianshan Mountains is to seize the Junggars in the north of the mountain and the Yerqiang in the south of the mountain. After capturing the Junggars and Yerqiang, they will divide into two routes to march eastward. The northern route will cross the Altai Mountains and invade the Khovd Grassland, and then directly capture the Khalkha Mongolia.

, and finally the Khalkha Mongols went south to attack Beijing. The southern route took the guards of Hami, followed the Hexi Corridor, and then took the Guanlong Scenic Area. Finally, troops were sent from Shaanxi to attack Beijing along the route of Li Zicheng's Northern Expedition.

Going out of the Himalayas... looks a bit crazy, but it is actually feasible. Because the snowy plateau is still under the control of Kangxi's senior brother Sangyi Gyatso - the fifth great lama had already

passed away, but Sangyi Gyatso continued to rule the snowy plateau in the name of the great lama by not announcing the funeral. Of course, Kangxi and Galdan both knew that their teacher had passed away, but in order to avoid Burni, Ila

Lama Guk and Cewang Alabutan took advantage of the reincarnation of the great lama to intervene in the snowy region, so they supported Sangye Gyatso to continue to govern the snowy region in the name of the great lama.

In addition, D Laihan, the koshote khan who co-ruled the snowy region with Sangye Gyatso, was threatened by the Ming army stationed in Xining Prefecture and continued to hold on to the thick legs of Kangxi Khan, so he also acquiesced in the great lama's "pretending"

"live" fact.

With the support of Sangyi Gyatso and Drai Khan, Kangxi's army only had to go north through Nepal and pass through several mountain passes on the Nepal-Tibet border to enter the snow-covered plateau.

Once Kangxi Khan's army enters the snowy plateau from Nepal, it can join forces with Sangyi Gyatso and D Lai Khan to launch an attack on the Ming army in Xining Prefecture. If Galdan can send troops from Yeerqiang to the east, then the entire Hexi

The corridor may be captured by the Qing Dynasty!

However, the march route across the Himalayas and through the snow-covered plateau is not suitable for large armies. It is fine for three to five thousand elite soldiers, but there is no way to think about a large army... That would be challenging the limits of life.

Be careful and you'll die.

Therefore, on the way across the Himalayas, we can only use surprise troops... This can only be implemented if the battle on the line out of the Tianshan Mountains is very good. If the battle on the line out of the Tianshan Mountains is not good, we can only

Let Sanji Gyatso and Lai Khan first give in to the Emperor of Tomorrow so that they can preserve their strength and wait for the future.

The Eastern Expedition Strategy proposed by Kong Shenggong did not mention the route across the Himalayas at all, but only proposed a way to steadily conquer the Tianshan Mountains. The specific route was to use Suiyefu City, located on the south bank of the Chu River at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, as a stronghold, and first establish farmland.

, then join forces with Galdan to seize Ili controlled by Cewang Alabutan, and then seize the Jungar Grassland.

Since Kong Shenggong didn't mention anything about crossing the Himalayas, Kangxi didn't mention the amazing soldiers along the way... As for the amazing soldiers, of course, the more "unexpected" the better, it's best to hide them even from your own people, so that you can be at the critical moment.

Always take a surprise!

Just listen to Kangxi slowly say: "Yinfeng, the younger brother of Shenggong, I order you two to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Ruba Banner and Horqin Mongolian Regiment, leave the Tianshan Mountains, collect Suiye, and wait for the opportunity to march eastward to Yili to aid the deputy Khan.

Erdan. All the Kazakh tribes on the Qinchak grassland are also controlled by you two!

In this battle out of Tianshan, you must not imitate Zhuge Kongming out of Qishan. You can only achieve a quick victory, not a lasting victory... I want you to make a big show of yourselves, advance slowly, work step by step, and fight steadily. You only want a long-lasting encroachment, not a single victory.

Hit and win.

Nacewang Alabutan is now fighting on two fronts, and it is said that Zhu Heji is jealous of him. As long as the stalemate lasts for a long time, there will definitely be a wave of instability. When the time comes, if we advance in large numbers, we will definitely win a complete victory!"

"I will obey the imperial edict of the Great Khan!"

Hearing what Kangxi Khan said, Kong Shenggong, who was originally prepared to fight a "protracted war", breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to Kangxi respectfully and received the imperial edict - he originally had the principle of "do not worship or follow suit".

"power", but now that his emperor Yinfeng has knelt down to Kangxi, it is not appropriate for him, a minister, to stand in front of Kangxi carelessly, so he can only kneel down and worship along with him.

"Emperor Ama, my son and I accept the decree!"

Yinreng also worshiped Kangxi Khan together with his teacher and father-in-law Kong Shenggong.

Yin Reng, who was leading an army in a war for the first time, was now full of excitement, his chest was rising and falling, and he kowtowed a few times. Together with Kong Shenggong, he received the imperial edict to "come out of the Tianshan Mountains". Because "forcing his father to resist the Ming Dynasty" seemed like

After achieving success, he already felt that Kangxi Khan's Ama was more real... Well, at least 60% of it was real!

And the "General Kangxi" who was sealed by Emperor Zhu in Beihai now seems to be only 40% likely to be his real Ama!

...

Just when Yinfeng and Kong Shenggong were ordered to march eastward, they were preparing to march to the Ili grassland with great fanfare.

On Bei'anmen Street inside Taipingmen in the inner city of Yingtianfu, Nanjing, dozens of people on fast horses galloped past on the broad street.

The roads on Bei'anmen Street are paved with bluestones. Horseshoes hit the road, splashing sparks from time to time. The knights on the horses are surrounded by a stout man. This is what "Yinwu Mu" and Kong Shenggong want to deal with.

That Cewang Alabutan, his fighting skills were much better than his uncle Galdan, and he was also better than Kangxi Khan, Kong Shenggong and others expected.

In the past two years, he and his two brothers joined forces to attack Yerqiang from the Ili grassland and Zhungar grassland. Galdan was almost unable to resist, and they had captured Aksu at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Kuqa, Karashaar, Turpan and other places. The Hexi Army led by the Ming Dynasty general Ling Zongjun, who sent troops from the Hexi Corridor, also seized the territory originally belonging to the Hami guards.

Galdan, who had been retreating steadily, has now retreated to Yeerqiang City, the headquarters of the Yeerqiang Khanate, and the only territories under his control are Yeerqiang, Kashgar and Khotan.

However, because Galdan received support from the Heshuo Special Department in Qinghai and also received arms from Kaitianfu in Beijing and Qitianfu in Shangjing, there were some signs of recovery. Cewang Alabutan was "jealous" of him because of Ling Zongjun

His military exploits intercepted the arms sent by the Ming Dynasty to Cewang Alabutan, making him unable to attack Yeerqiang. Therefore, the war south of the Tianshan Mountains temporarily showed signs of stalemate.

For this matter, Cewang Alabutan immediately told the Ming Emperor Zhu Heqi through his stepmother and sister-in-law Anu, and asked Anu to help him talk bad things about General Ling.

....

Within three months of sending his excerpts and autographed letter to Anu in Nanjing, Emperor Zhu issued an imperial edict to summon him to the Hajj!

After receiving the imperial edict, Cewang Alabutan was quite happy, thinking that Emperor Zhu would make the decision for him, so he happily left his Karashale camp at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and embarked on the long journey to Nanjing.

Long distance. But his excitement soon turned into anxiety, because when he passed by Hami, he discovered that General Ling not only had not been transferred, but had also been promoted from the original Chaoyong Marquis to the Duke of Anxi County...

....Looks like he will be stationed in the Western Region permanently!

This Ling Zongjun was promoted to the rank of nobility. Cewang Alabutan must be uneasy, but he did not dare not to go to Nanjing. Because he stabbed Galdan, the deputy Khan of Mongolia, in the back before, he did not dare to go to Kang Mazi, so he could only force him to go to Nanjing.

He rushed to Nanjing with all his strength, hoping that his stepmother and sister-in-law Anu could save him.

I hurriedly and slowly along the way, and finally arrived at Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the middle of winter in the eighth year of the Grand Duke's reign.

Sitting on the horse, Cewang Alabutan just looked around with a sullen face. Looking at the tall city-like buildings built on both sides of Bei'anmen Street, he felt a little emotional... This Nanjing is indeed the Celestial Empire.

The capital, the houses in the city are so tall that they are almost catching up with the royal city in Ili!

Looking further south, the overlapping palaces came into view, and their momentum was even more overwhelming. All I could see were layers of red walls and gold tiles, exuding the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Dozens of Mongolian knights were all frightened by the power of the Nanjing Imperial City. They just silently surrounded Chucewang Alabutan and followed the leader Ilaguk Lama all the way to the outside of Bei'an Gate.

Lama Ilaguk was the envoy sent by Zhu Heji and Anu to the Shunyi Palace located east of Xuanwu Lake in the outer city of Nanjing to greet Cewang Alabutan - Cewang Alabutan and his party arrived in Nanjing three days ago

, did not immediately go to the imperial city to have an audience, but first stayed in the Shunyi Prince's Mansion, and then handed over the memorial to invite him. However, Zhu Heji did not summon him immediately, but only now sent Lama Ilaguk to announce his entry into the city.

Outside Bei'an Gate, there was a group of foot soldiers standing guard with flintlock rifles mounted on bayonets. The leading officer recognized Lama Ilaguk and knew who the lama had brought. So he shouted: "Your Majesty

Orally ordered, it is allowed to mount a horse in the Forbidden City of Alaputan!"

Lama Ilaguk turned around to deal with Cewang Alabutan and said: "King Khan, you can bring one of your followers into the palace, and everyone else must wait outside Bei'an Gate."

"Celing Dunduobu," Cewang Alabutan called his cousin's name, "Follow me!"

"yes."

A young man who was almost as stocky as Cewang Alabutan immediately got off the horse and came to Cewang Alabutan's side. This young man was a few years younger than Cewang Alabutan. He was Galdan's younger brother Bumu.

After his father died, he led the few tribes his father left behind to live with his cousin Cewang Alabutan. This time Cewang Alabutan brought him to Nanjing because Mrs. Anu had previously

He was ordered to select a young and promising leader from the Choros family with a small number of tribesmen to come to Nanjing to assist Zhu Celing.

Cewang Alabutan did not dare to take Anu's instructions seriously, so he selected his cousin Celingtun Dobu and brought him to Nanjing.

Lama Ilaguk looked at Celingdun Dobu, and then said frankly to Cewang Alabu: "Your Majesty, please come with me!"

"Thank you." Cewang Arab Tanchong greeted the Lama politely, and then followed him into Bei'anmen, the north gate of the Imperial City of Nanjing.

.......

The place where Zhu Heji summoned Cewang Alabutan was very formally placed in the Huangji Hall. Because he was given the courtesy of riding a horse in the Forbidden City, Cewang Alabutan did not get off his horse until outside the Huangji Gate. There was already a crowd outside the Huangji Gate.

There were many guards, all wearing helmets and armor, standing upright with flintlocks with bayonets on their shoulders, creating a formidable scene.

When following Lama Ilaguk into the Huangji Palace Square, Cewang Alamutan discovered that some ceremony was being held in the Huangji Palace Square, and it was filled with officials wearing various court uniforms. Cewang Alamutan’s stepmother

Anu, the sister-in-law, was also in the square, wearing very formal court clothes and holding a child in her hands. She was walking out of her shift and heading towards the white marble steps outside Huangji Hall.

Cewang Alabutan was a little confused when he saw the scene in front of him, so he asked Lama Ilaguk who led him over, "Master, what are you doing?"

Lama Ilaguk whispered: "The Great Emperor is conferring official titles on the kings, khans, marquises, dians, male, wei, bangbo, yin, zai, qing, etc. of the Shang Kingdom in the New World."

"What? The Shang Kingdom in the New World? Is it the Shang Kingdom that was granted to Ce Ling Khan?" Cewang Alabutan knew that there was a New World, and he also knew that Anu's son was also granted the title of Khan there, but in his impression

, that country seems to be called the United States.

Lama Ilaguk nodded and said: "Yes, it is the country Ce Ling Khan and the third prince are going to. It was originally called the United States, and it was also a combination of one king and one khan. Now it has been changed to the Shang Kingdom."

"Shang Guo?" Cewang Alabutan was a little confused, "Why should it be changed to Shang Guo?"

"It seems that a large Shang country was discovered in the New World. It was established after the descendants of King Zhou of Shang fled the Central Plains and crossed the sea to the New World when King Wu conquered Zhou. They have multiplied in the New World for two thousand and hundreds of years.

Now it has developed into a Dafang country with a population of one million. However, this Fang country has not encountered a strong enemy in more than two thousand years. At most, it is internal strife within its own family. Not all strong men participate, only nobles participate, so the fight
