I

Galdan did not choose to flee, he felt that the number of Han troops was small, and there were only 5 people who could really fight, and there were only more than 1 cavalry.

Of course, it is not a direct decisive battle, but to attack and disturb the food road of the Datong army first.

At the same time, He Yudu, who was stationed in Yinli, led 3000 Datong cavalry, 2000 Mongolian cavalry, and 1500 Giligis cavalry, with almost no supplies, went north from the Yinli River Valley, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and went straight to Galdan's lair.They plundered the Mongolian tribes along the way, obtained food on the spot, and killed Galdan by surprise.

The two sides fought a decisive battle on the edge of the desert in the northwest of Berkeseli. Galdan attacked fiercely as soon as he came up, but he couldn't break through the formation of Datong Army's chariots.The charging troops were defeated, Jiang Liang immediately launched a counterattack, and thousands of Heshuot cavalry turned around and rushed towards Galdan together.

Galdan was defeated, and the whole army was defeated. He led thousands of remnants and fled westward to the Balkhash Lake area.

Jiang Liang left the infantry and civilian husbands behind, and led the Datong cavalry, the Jiligis cavalry, and the Junggar and Heshuote cavalry who had defected to them, and continued to pursue with one man and two horses.

Galdan gathered more than 8000 tribal cavalry in Balkhash. Faced with Jiang Liang's pursuit, he still did not dare to resist, and finally fled to Zhongyuzi in the southwest with more than [-] people.

Toukhan, who has conquered most of Zhongyuzi, how can he accommodate this dragon crossing the river?He revealed his identity as Emperor Zhao's uncle, waved the banner of loyalty to the emperor, shouted the slogan of defending Zhongyuzi, and led [-] cavalry to chase and intercept Galdan.

Galdan's troops were already exhausted, their morale fell to the bottom, and they were defeated again without any suspense.

This guy was really able to escape, and with more than a thousand remnants of soldiers, he even fled northward to the territory of Tsarist Russia.Of course, he did not seek refuge in Tsarist Russia, but conquered the natives there, and took the natives to seize the Cossack stronghold.

After this battle, Toukhan's reputation became even more famous, and the remaining Zhongyuzi tribe voluntarily declared their allegiance to him—the Junggar tribe and Zhongyuzi had a feud, and whoever could defeat Junggar would be recognized by the Zhongyuzi tribe.

Toukhan unified Zhongyuzi in this way, and then discussed the demarcation of the border with the Nanjing court.

The southern area is naturally demarcated by mountains and rivers.

China has all the mountainous areas, condescending, and can attack Zhongyuzi at any time.As for Zhongyuzi, if he wanted to invade China, he had to break through the pass through the mountain pass and fight his way in.

As for the north, Balkhash Lake and the surrounding grasslands are all owned by Datong China.

Such demarcation is a bit overbearing, because the grasslands on the south bank and west bank of Balkhash Lake have always been the territory of Zhongyuzi.Even the grasslands on the north bank and the east bank used to belong to Zhongyuzi, but they were taken away by the Junggar tribe.

As compensation, the Nanjing court gave other rewards.

Toukhan was given [-] muskets, [-] sets of cotton armor, and [-] bolts of cotton cloth, equivalent to using these strategic materials in exchange for pastures on the south and west banks of Lake Balkhash.

Toukhan obtained so many supplies, his strength soared in an instant, especially the five thousand sets of cotton armor, which could equip five thousand fine cavalry in an instant.

In the 30th year of the Republic of China, Toukhan led his army to the south to attack Dayuzi, which was being ravaged by the Yarkand remnant army.

Yao Lewas, who was driven to Dayuzi by the Datong Army, beat up the scattered Dayuzi tribe.But it's useless to hold a group, because of different ideas, they organized coalition forces twice, and were defeated by the Yarkand soldiers of Yaolevas twice, so they could only barely hold on to the city.

Toukhan led his army to the south and was immediately welcomed by all the ministries of Dayuzi.

In the first battle, both losers.

Before the second battle started, Yao Levas caught fire in the backyard. In the city of Dayuzi, which he conquered, rebels appeared one after another, and He Zhuo led his followers to rebel.

Yao Levas had no choice but to take the Yarkand army back to suppress the rebellion, and Toukhan immediately led his army to pursue it.

The two sides fought a decisive battle in Talas, Toukhan won a big victory, Yao Levas was defeated and killed, and the remnant of Yarkand was completely destroyed.

After the war, the leaders of various ministries in Dayuzi publicly promoted Touke Khan as the Great Khan of Kazakhstan.

In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, Tou Kehan ​​led the armies of Zhongyuzi and Dayuzi to attack Xiaoyuzi.Along the way, all the ministries surrendered one after another, and they won the allegiance of all the ministries of Xiaoyuzi with almost no fighting.

This alien brother-in-law of Zhao Han quickly completed the great cause of Kazakh unification.

But he never thought of jumping back, it is really a bad location.The Kazakh grasslands are flat, and the Datong Army can come and go whenever they want, but the borders of China are full of mountains. Invading China is almost like clearing a customs game.

Even if the descendants of Toukhan were rebellious, they would at most attack the Balkhash Lake area.

In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the Bukhara Khanate fell into civil strife.

The major separatist forces are no longer satisfied with the separatist regimes, and all want to swallow the neighboring forces.Some people even contacted the Datong Army, hoping that the Han people in Dawan Mansion would send troops to help them reunify, and that they would give enough rewards when things were done.

The military and government officials of Dawan Mansion did not agree, and Toukhan did not dare to agree either.

Historically, Touk Khan sent troops to support the separatist forces to unify Bukhara, and was regarded as the Great Khan by the new king of Bukhara.

At this time, he was afraid of offending the Chinese emperor, and Toukhan did not dare to take action easily, and the Bukhara Khanate fell into continuous civil strife.

It has been in chaos for several years, and the Chinese court can no longer sit still. The magistrate of the Dawan Military and Civilian Mansion, and the chief guard of the Anxi Governor's Mansion jointly requested the court's permission to send troops.Because the Bukhara Khanate continued to be in chaos, the Silk Road was scourge, and the annual trade volume and tax revenue were declining.

After the approval of the Nanjing court, the Chinese army in Dawan Mansion and Kazakh Khan sent troops to Bukhara at the same time to support the separatist forces to establish a puppet regime.

……

The 34th year of the beginning of the Republic of China.

The reason why Li Dingguo took so long to take down the entire territory of the Yenisei Warlord Region in Tsarist Russia was because he had to step by step.

That is to say, to lay down a stronghold, you have to garrison troops to immigrate, and at the same time appease the local aborigines.Basically, winning two Cossack strongholds every year is Li Dingguo's limit, otherwise the transportation of military rations will be too difficult.

Also in this year, Zhao Han received a letter from France.

Two letters, one from Louis XIV and one from Leibniz.

Leibniz is a letter-writing fanatic and has three-digit pen pals throughout his life.Kangxi, who is in parallel time and space, is also Leibniz's pen pal, and the two often discuss academic issues together.Leibniz's binary system was also inspired by Chinese Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams, which eventually influenced the invention of electronic computers.

This gentleman was sent to Paris as a diplomat by the Duke of Saxony.

He didn't achieve much in foreign affairs, but he took advantage of his position to communicate free of charge with nobles and scholars from various European countries.After getting through, I started writing letters to Zhao Han, and sent them together with Louis XIV's letter.

Zhao Han was very surprised to receive the letter from Leibnitz, and what was even more surprising was that the content was not about mathematics, but asking Zhao Han for philosophical questions.

Leibniz was also a philosopher.

Zhao Han expounded his outlook on the universe and morality, and warmly invited Laibnitz to China as a guest.If you are willing to settle in China, you can let him serve as an official.

Four years later, Zhao Han received a reply letter from Rebnitz, thanking His Majesty the Emperor for his invitation, but he had no plans to leave Europe yet.

The specific reason is that Leibnitz was a diplomat in Paris and made hundreds of pen pals at the same time.Once the address is changed, those letters will not be received...

Chapter 1062 [Final Chapter [-]]

The 46th year of the beginning of the Republic of China.

Prince Zhao Kuanghuan is 51 years old. Since he was 40 years old, he has been formally handling the government affairs.

All the memorials sent by the cabinet were sent to the prince, and the emperor only randomly checked and reviewed them every day.

This situation made the prince even more stressed.

Because the prince wants to do things, he must have his own team.The team he promotes often conflicts with the important ministers of the cabinet, and the important ministers of the cabinet are the emperor's people.

In the end, it became a conflict between the emperor and the prince!

Under normal circumstances, the emperor is left to the prince.But at every critical moment, the emperor suddenly exerted force, and more than a dozen people from the crown prince's team were demoted one after another, and one was even exiled to Beihai (the one who was exiled deserved it, and was involved in the case of coercion against the people. Datong In the prosperous age, the people of Gansu actually rebelled).

Fortunately, he was already in his early years, and the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and his mental head was getting worse day by day.

"Your Highness, the birthday ceremony has been properly arranged."

"Drill it again, I'll go and see it myself."

It was the emperor's [-]th birthday soon, and Emperor Zhao, who had always been reluctant to make arrangements, suddenly proposed to celebrate his birthday grandly.

When the news came out, not only the officials were enthusiastic, but even the people were jubilant.

Merchants inside and outside Nanjing City spontaneously purchased red satin, decorated their shops with joy, and hung red lanterns to celebrate all night.

In the early morning of this day, Nanjing was already lively.

Civil and military officials all wore uniforms, and envoys from various countries also entered the city early and waited in line outside the Donghua Gate.

Zhao Han rode the imperial chariot to the Meridian Gate Tower, stood up tremblingly, and was supported by a female officer to climb the city.

Three years ago, he was still in good health and thought he would live to be 90 or [-] years old.

I don't know when it started, the frequency of defecation increased, and I had to pull three or four times a day.When defecating, it seems to have diarrhea but not diarrhea, and there is no other discomfort, and the energy is very energetic, and there is no problem with appetite.

Just last year, Zhao Han suddenly felt severe abdominal pain, and even had blood in his stool.

Famous doctors from all walks of life came to the palace for consultation in turn, and the diagnosis results were similar. They all said that the emperor had heat poison in his body, and he had to clear the heat and eliminate the evil to recover.

Take medicine for many days, slightly improved.

Last winter, the condition took a turn for the worse.Difficulty defecating at the beginning, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and then the liver also hurts. Sometimes he fell asleep and couldn't wake up, so he had to wait for him to wake up naturally.

This year is even worse, at least lost 30 pounds.

Zhao Han can probably guess that he should be suffering from bowel cancer, and it is probably at an advanced stage.

If it cannot be cured, it will not be cured in another 300 years.

The concubines followed them and went to the city one after another.

Empress Fei Rulan has died of illness for four years, Tian Xiuying and Liu Rushi have also passed away.Now it's Fei Rumei who is the queen, and she doesn't do very well, and she has a little temper from time to time.

Today was sunny, Zhao Han was helped to sit on a chair.

Although the spirit is not bad, but the physical strength is not enough to sit for a long time, Zhao Han can only lean on the backrest and look at the city.

"Clan clan enters!"

Members of the clan lined up in front of the Meridian Gate, led by King Zhao Kuangping of Chu.The two eldest princesses, Zhao Zhenlan and Zhao Zhenfang, were also there, but their husbands had both died of illness, and this time they brought their children to the capital to celebrate their birthdays.

After Zheng Sen stepped down as the chief envoy of Guangdong, he served as Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion for two years.I really couldn't stay idle, so I took the initiative to apply for a transfer and was assigned to be the governor of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has been destroyed, not by invasion, but by playing itself to pieces.

The emperor of Bengal launched a military campaign and expanded his territory to the limit. When the monarch was critically ill, rebellions broke out all over the country and split into seven separatist forces.Chinese merchants took advantage of the situation and obtained the commercial privileges of several ports by selling cold weapons.

In the real melee, the merchants couldn't bear it, so they had to ask the imperial court to send troops, and those ports became the imperial court's colonies.

Together with the Chittagong obtained by dowry, they will form the Governor-General of Bangladesh.

"My son, Zhao Kuangping, congratulate Father on Christmas, and wish Father a long life!"

Zhao Han raised his hand slightly with a smile on his face.

Zhao Kuangping immediately retreated to the side, and Han Wang Zhao Kuangbai came forward to celebrate his birthday again.

Among them, Jin Wang Zhao Kuangchen did not come in person, but sent a Han official as a birthday emissary.

Zhao Kuangchen's health was also not very good, and he was bedridden occasionally.But his state of Jin has expanded its territory several times, owning the lands of the five kingdoms of Tanjore, Madurai, Julan, Klady, and Mysore, occupying half of South India.

The number of Han immigrants and their descendants is about 50, but they rule more than 1000 million Indians.

In order to facilitate the rule, compromises had to be made, and South Indian customs, culture and politics were accepted with reservations.It has become a freak, a fusion of Chinese culture and Dravidian culture, but the official language and characters must use Chinese and Chinese characters.

The land system adopts the advanced landlord ownership system.

Almost all Han Chinese are big landlords, and Indian elites who can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, of course, also became big landlords.

Hindu culture has been impacted, and at the same time, it actively caters to the rule, and the caste ranks become: Chinese, Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, Sudras, and untouchables.

The Chinese are the Han people, superior to all castes, and at the same time not bound by caste occupations.I can engage in whatever occupation I want. This has aroused several rebellions, which were completely suppressed by the army.

Moreover, no matter which caste they are, as long as they pass the imperial examination and become an official, they can immediately become Chinese, and their descendants will also be Chinese.

But there is a restriction. Those naturalized Chinese who do not intermarry with Han people within three generations will automatically cancel their Chinese status.

Facts have proved that Indians are very obedient, and they are willing to cooperate no matter how outrageous the policy is.

The Mughals brought Persian culture, which was quickly accepted by North India.The British brought European culture, and deliberately divided India, forcing the North Indian language into two official scripts, which made it impossible for India to unify the script hundreds of years later.

Now that Chinese culture has come, South Indian elites take the initiative to learn, and many even go to China to study.

After the clan celebrates the birthday, all civil and military officials stepped forward.

Then there are envoys from various countries, including North Korea, Japan, Siam, Laos, Dai, Meng, Brunei, Sulu, Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, Tsarist Russia, Mughals, Persia...

Foreign envoys no longer live in Zhongshan Temple, and a special embassy has been built.

There are so many that even European countries have envoys stationed in Nanjing to facilitate access to Chinese information at any time.

North Korea is very obedient now. The king's name is Li Xuan, who is different from the same name in history.

The main reason was that she was beaten by China once, which caused the queen of Joseon to change, and of course the prince who was born also changed.

This unlucky child was born with fierce party struggles, and now the party struggles are still in pro-government.He hated party struggles deeply. After taking office, he immediately had a big change in the court. Three times in ten years, each time was accompanied by attacks and killings.Not only did the party struggle not subside, but it intensified because the parties had killed their blood feuds.

Japan is still governed by the Tokugawa shogunate. Since the country is no longer closed to the outside world, the strength of local daimyos has greatly increased through sea trade.

This increase in strength did not weaken the power of the shogunate too much.The only result is that when the local big names are arrogant and extravagant, they no longer owe huge sums of money to merchants in Sandu.Their sea trade income, coupled with the taxation of the territory, is enough to support the squandering, and only the large-scale construction projects are heavily in debt.

There are also one or two powerful feudal clans who worked hard to govern, and even quietly learned about steam engines by sending envoys to study abroad.

However, it is very embarrassing, Japan is a coal-poor country!

Only in the northern part of Kyushu Island, the northern part of the Kanto Plain, and the western part of Hokkaido, there are a small number of coal mines, and Hokkaido has long been China's Ezo County.

At present, there are only two steam factories in Japan.

The Governor-General of Luzon in the south was changed to Luzon Province eight years ago.
