platform.

The ministers gathered together, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Yang Reform is looking at the big sand table.

This big sand table can be said to be the epitome of this world.This is the sand table of Eurasia made according to "The Complete Map of Kunyu All Nations". In this era, Eurasia basically represents the world, and America at this time can basically be regarded as a barren land.

"Yuan Chonghuan bombarded Kagoshima Castle of the Satsuma clan of the Japanese country..." Yang Reform said this.Then I pointed to the sand table with my hand, pointing out the approximate location. Fortunately, this large sand table is big enough. Although Wa Kingdom is already small, for the sake of intuition, I still made a tiny "Kagoshima Bay".

The officials all stretched their necks to look, but no one spoke. The people who came here basically knew some inside information, and they also knew the emperor's temper.Know what to say and what not to say.

Yang Reform just gave pointers here, and didn't say much. The distance is too far away. Even with the "maritime transportation network" he built today, it is still too long to exchange news once. Yang Reform has no intention of pointing fingers.It's just a notification of the news. I want to hit Kagoshima. The next step is to settle accounts with the emperor. It's time to bomb the Seto Inland Sea.

Yang Reform only stayed on the Japanese side for a while, and his eyes turned to another place.

"Let's not talk about the Japanese country for the time being. With Yuan Chonghuan here, I believe there should be no problem. Let's talk about it first... According to the intelligence bureau of the Jinyiwei Army, there is a country called Russia, which is the Rakshasa I mentioned in the court. country, its power has expanded to this position..." Yang Reform tapped the big sand table with his baton to show his position.

The faces of the ministers were not very good-looking.The emperor asked everyone to come to the platform. There must be something wrong. As for what the matter is, it is already obvious. Anyone who has been with the emperor for a long time and knows a certain amount of inside information knows what the emperor said.The Japanese kingdom in the east fought a deadly battle with the Ming Dynasty in North Korea a few years ago, and before it subsided, the Eastern Prisoners rose again, cutting off a piece of flesh from Daming's body abruptly, causing the Ming Dynasty to suffer a lot, and now it has just been resolved. Some kind of Rakshasa country popped up out of nowhere in the Northwest.In the past, there would definitely be people who stood up to fight, but now, no one dared to come out to argue with the emperor. Didn't the Wa Kingdom fight to the death between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty?This Eastern Prisoner only started with thirteen sets of armor, who would dare to say that this Raksha country is a minor disaster?In front of the world map, the previous thinking horizon has to be changed.

"Military Department?" Yang Reform shouted.

"The minister is here!" Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately agreed.

"Let me tell you the details..." Yang Reform said.

"The minister leads the decree!" Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately agreed, took the baton carefully, and began to explain.

"Your Majesty, fellow elders and colleagues, the information this time was obtained by the Mongolian Imperial Army under the Intelligence Bureau of the Jinyiwei Army. It has now been confirmed that the power of the Raksha Kingdom has indeed expanded to this place. There is a camp built here, which currently belongs to Mobei Karka Tuxietuhan's territory..." Shen Yongmao's baton was spinning on the big sand table, constantly pointing the position.

All the ministers looked serious.

"Let me just say a word, this place may feel unfamiliar to you, or you may not have any concept, so let me tell you something, there is a lake here, it is very big, it is called Beihai, when Su Wu was herding sheep in the Han Dynasty, it was Arriving at this place..." Yang Reform put in a sentence, the North Sea will be Lake Baikal in the future, the importance of this place is self-evident, now that we have received the exact information from the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Russians are already not far from here The fortress was built... and before it expanded, it had already encountered opponents who came head-on. Yang Reform had to call the ministers to brainwash them.Get ready to expand.

The ministers were slightly moved.

Yang Reform gave Shen Yongmao a signal to continue, and Shen Yongmao continued.

"...This place currently belongs to the Mobei Karka Tuxietu Department, and the battle between our dynasty and Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan is also related to this department..." Shen Yongmao continued to introduce his information.

Yang Reform's thoughts are flying around, the east is at war with Japan, the northwest and north are still at war with Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan, and will prepare to fight the Russians in the future, and the west is the Uzbek area, which is The red-yellow sect dispute still has to be fought. To the south is Vietnam and Southeast Asia, and the Europeans are blocking the door. If you want to go out of Asia, you must fight with them. Every step is difficult, and every step is difficult. You can't make a mistake in one step, and if you make a mistake in one step, it will be a huge loss for the Ming Dynasty...

The ministers all lowered their hands and listened carefully, but no one made a sound.

"...The general situation is like this, Your Majesty, I have finished explaining..." Shen Yongmao carefully asked for instructions.

Yang Reform nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I called you here today, and I think you all know what I'm thinking. You must have looked at the world map in the past, and you have also learned about the situation outside of Da Ming. Now, Da Ming is besieged on all sides and enemies on all sides. The situation is very serious. Not optimistic!" Yang Reform said with emotion.

The ministers who came here were all important ministers, almost all of whom could be regarded as the emperor's confidantes. Even if they were not confidantes, on such occasions, they would look at their faces to some extent, knowing that something was unusual, and would not dare to speak nonsense.

"...to the east is Pingwo, which is being done by Yuan Chonghuan; to the north and northwest is the battle between our dynasty and Donglu, and Lin Danhan, and now it involves this Raksha country...; to the northwest and west is The issue of Uzang is the dispute between the Red and Yellow Sects, and the Red and Yellow Sects also involve Donglu and Lin Danhan in the north...; as for the south, it is the Westerners who have forced them to my doorstep..." Yang Reform said again.Yang Reform made a rough outline of the situation around the Ming Dynasty, and the form of surrounding forces has basically come out.

"...The situation in these four directions is roughly like this. There is no peace on the other side, and a bloody road must be shed.... Let's talk about the Raksha Kingdom in the north. I have carefully discussed with a few Western guests. I have inquired, this Raksha country, on their side, was originally a small country, not as big as half a province in my dynasty, and the population cannot be compared with mine, let alone the degree of wealth, but after decades of development Expansion, but it has already expanded its influence to my Daming's doorstep..., Shen Qing's family, you can compare and see how far the Raksha Kingdom is from Western Ocean to my Daming?" Yang Reform said.

All the ministers lowered their heads and listened carefully. They all understood what the emperor wanted to say. The situation here is indeed complicated, and there are quite a few people who know it.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, judging from the markings on this map, there are at least eight thousand miles..." Shen Yongmao quickly answered. These data are not difficult for him.Although I have prepared for a long time, I am still very ashamed. Eight thousand miles is almost the distance from the east to the west of Daming. I touched the door of my house, but I don't know much about him...

Even though the ministers were mentally prepared and had seen the world map, they were still shocked when they heard this number.

"...eight thousand miles..."

"...Eight thousand miles...?" The ministers asked back with disbelief and inconceivable words.

"Yes, from the map, it takes at least [-] miles to reach Beihai. This is the reason why I called you here today. Apart from the population and wealth, in terms of land, it is already the same as mine. Extending the power thousands of miles away, I think you all know the difficulty of it. I think you have a certain amount of control over thousands of miles away. ... This country will become a serious problem for my dynasty in the future, I don’t know Thinking about the appearance of a new Eastern captive, even if his power in the east may not be so strong, if he colludes with the Mongols, it will be extremely detrimental to our court... This matter must be contained in the bud , it must not be made big..." Yang Reform said carefully, facing the expansion of polar bears, although Yang Reform had been prepared for a long time, when he got the actual information, he still felt a headache. In [-], Kangxi probably had to sign the Nerchinsk Treaty with Tsarist Russia.

"...Your Majesty, this may not be terrible. Even if the Raksha Kingdom can extend its power to this point, if it confronts me, I may not be afraid of him. Your Majesty, it is true that I have very little control over the outside and outside. Generally speaking, if you think about it, Rakshasa Kingdom’s control over the thousands of miles away must be very low. Even if you want to harm our court, you may not dare to do it. Your Majesty, here, our court is the master, and he is a guest. It is beneficial to our court ..." Chen Yuting thought for a while, but still came out to pick a thorn.

"...According to what the Qing family means, it should be enough to draw a line where I can't reach? I only want to be rich and can support people, and I don't care for people. I look down on land that is too barren. Is it?" Yang Reform asked.

"...Since the Qing family knows that our dynasty's control over thousands of miles away is not very good, how many soldiers can we deploy thousands of miles away? However, the court may not be able to send many people to fight..." Yang Reform was speechless.

"Your Majesty, although it is good to occupy a larger land, you have to do what you can. It is unwise to spend money every year for the barren land..." Chen Yuting said vigorously.

"Well, very good, and then the Raksha Kingdom and the Mongols go south to hunt grass valleys every year. Anyway, there are grains that I cultivate for the people in rich places, right? It's like every time a nomadic tribe goes south to hunt grass valleys for the Chinese people. Generally, it’s just that the place is a lot to the north, isn’t it?” Yang Reform taunted.

"This..., minister..., I'm ashamed..." Chen Yuting was at a loss for words immediately, embarrassed for a while, he just came out routinely to pick on this, is it necessary for the emperor to say that about him?To make him so sad, he also intends to be an imperial party!

All the officials quickly lowered their heads. Judging from today's situation, it is probably setting the tone for future strategies in the north and northwest.

"So, we can't say that we don't want barren land. It is barren for our dynasty, but it may not be barren for our enemies. I don't want to see my people being slaughtered like livestock every year for the New Year. Therefore, the north should be expanded as much as possible. If the land is barren, then the camps should be built sparsely, and the population should be scattered. , we can no longer raise an Eastern captive who feeds on war..." Yang Reform said.

"I understand..." the ministers said.

"...Well, Shen Qing's family, didn't they reach Heilongjiang only this year when they expanded to the north?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, this year it is expected to expand to Heilongjiang and the Songhua River Basin, and restore the jurisdiction of the traditional Nurgan capital in our dynasty. Next year, it will take about a year of training to prepare enough food and supplies. In the year after next, we will start to move to more Go north and further west, probably next year or the year after, we may set foot in the North Sea, and strive to build a military fort in the North Sea in the year after next at the latest, and this will be the case in the future, one year to advance, one year to consolidate..." Shen Yongmao Immediately said, obviously, he has done a good job in the General Staff Department recently, and he knows many things that can only be known in the General Staff Department, so he can be regarded as the Minister of the Ministry of War, otherwise, he is just a minister of the Ministry of War.

"Well, that's right. What if we meet people from the Raksha country? What should we do with the Mongols?" Yang Reform asked. In fact, this is for the people here to listen to. The basic plan has actually been made.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, if you encounter people from the Raksha country in the extreme north, you should entangle them. With the help of our dynasty's internal construction, all kinds of new firearms will destroy them. Thinking about the extreme north, people have difficulty in giving birth. For several years, Over the past few decades, I must be the only one in that place, and the land will naturally belong to me. I don’t think there will be any worries about going south to the Grass Valley, and the people in the south can live with peace of mind. . . . In the process, you don’t need to care about the gains and losses of the region. The key is to kill the population so that it cannot gain a foothold in the local area... Of course, the imperial court should also give some support, especially in terms of keeping warm, keeping warm, and firearms. Support as much as possible... If the Mongols here are here, they will be divided and disintegrated, and some of them will be surrendered as the Imperial Alliance Army, and some will be eliminated..." Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, said it clearly and logically, as if this was his own plan.

The ministers present were all silent. The emperor was no longer the first to say this strategy. Now that it is said through Shen Yongmao's mouth, it can be regarded as the basis for future actions.

"Well, yes, if so, Mobei still has a lot of output, such as leather, fur, medicinal materials, etc., are rare and good things, and should be raised in this way, so that people who go north can have A way to make money, otherwise, no one is willing to go north... In the future, when we meet the Raksha Kingdom in Mobei, let's do it this way. The strategy in Mobei in the future will basically be like this. Anyway, this north Until the extreme north, no other forces can exist, and the matter of going south to fight grass valleys must never happen in our dynasty again..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty is wise..." All the ministers immediately complimented each other.
