However, although the Chinese army did not launch an attack on Nerchinsk City, it also sent a large number of intelligence personnel deep into the Nerchinsk City area to detect the situation of the Russian army. Therefore, the news that Moscow would send reinforcements to the east was also The Chinese Army learned that, of course, Chinese intelligence personnel could not find out the exact information. Therefore, there was no accurate figure for the number of reinforcements sent by Moscow. Some said it was 10,000 to 20,000, while others said 40,000 to 50,000.
The current commander of the Shenyang Military Region is Tong Dayong. The war against Russia a year ago was also personally commanded by Tong Dayong. After receiving the news that Moscow would send reinforcements to Nerchinsk, Tong Dayong did not dare to be careless. Although It is said that in the last battle, the Chinese army achieved a complete victory, but these more than ten years of military training have also enabled Tong Dayong to grow from a mountain village boy to an outstanding commander. He does not think that the Russian army will be defeated because of this. Vulnerable, because in the last battle, the Chinese army basically fought with absolutely superior strength, often using thousands to fight hundreds, and once they had the advantage in weapons, there was no reason why they could not win. .
However, the Russian soldiers were tall, rough-mannered, brutal and warlike. Their strong personal combat ability also left a deep impression on Tong Dayong. Although in the current battle, there are no opportunities for hand-to-hand combat. Not much, but the Russian army should not be underestimated.
Although the Shenyang Military Region has three armies, the Chinese troops stationed in North Korea are dispatched from the Shenyang Military Region, and the area that the Shenyang Military Region needs to defend is also very vast. There is only one army that can be used to defend Heilongjiang. If Moscow really wants to send troops to Nerchinsk The reinforcements of about 20,000 to 30,000 were sent, which still posed a great threat to the situation in Northeast China, so Tong Dayong immediately sent a report back to Nanjing.
After receiving Tong Dayong's report, Shang Yi also began to seriously think about the problems in Northeast China.
Although Shang Yi attaches great importance to the ocean, it does not mean that he does not attach importance to the land. After all, for a country, land is the most basic. Therefore, the bigger the land of a country, the better. Only if it has vast land, Only in this way can the country remain strong. This has also been proven in the historical development of another time and space. The United Kingdom once claimed to be an empire that would never fall, and Japan also established the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. However, because the area of the mainland is too small, the basic Instability eventually led to weakness, and those countries that have remained strong are those countries with vast territories. Even if some of them are temporarily weak due to some special reasons, they will still be able to survive after they recover. They have risen again and their vast territory is their greatest asset.
Therefore, during his lifetime, Shang Yi also hoped to try his best to expand China's territory and lay a solid foundation for the development of future generations.
China is surrounded by oceans to the east and south, and is blocked by mountains to the west. Therefore, if you want to expand the territory on a large scale, you can only expand to the north. Moreover, the vast area of Siberia in the north does not strictly speaking belong to Russia. Thirdly, the territory does not matter. Therefore, whoever takes the first step must at least occupy it first. When future generations talk about it, they can also plausibly declare that these lands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times.
Among the countries surrounding China in this era, only Russia in the north can pose a threat to China, and Russia itself is an extremely expansionary and aggressive country. If both sides want to expand their territories, China will not be able to do so now. It is possible to make any concessions in terms of territory, so of course there will be a war between China and Russia sooner or later, and the war between China and Russia in another time and space will happen thirty years later. What Shang Yi has to consider now is , should this battle be fought early or late?
Internally, although China launched two consecutive overseas wars during this year, due to the good financial condition of the empire, it did not have a major impact on the national economy, and the main force in these two battles was the navy, with the army participating. Not many, and only a few military regions along the coast have sent troops. Several military regions in the north have not been touched. Therefore, China is fully capable of launching another battlefield in the Northeast.
In the external environment, compared with thirty years later, Russia's current national strength is not strong, and its control over the eastern region is very weak. Strictly speaking, it may have no control at all, and Russia's main focus is still In Europe, not Asia, it is impossible for Russia to send a large army to the East to compete for territory. The so-called army of 40,000 to 50,000 is even more nonsense. Yi Yi estimates that Russia cannot exceed 10,000 at most. With the strength of the Shenyang Military Region , is completely enough to cope with it, and if the troops are insufficient, troops can be transferred from the Beijing Military Region to support it.
From the situation at home and abroad, Shang Yi also believes that this time it is entirely possible to advance the Nerchinsk War and fight the Russian army first. Of course, this battle cannot be fought as nondescript as in another time and space. Although they won the military, they lost completely at the negotiation table. Therefore, if they want to fight this time, they must teach the Russian army a harsh lesson. Although it is impossible to completely cut off Russia's idea of peeping into the East, at least there must be a fight. After acquiring it, think carefully about expanding to the east.
So Shang Yi immediately summoned Minister of Defense Zhou Shaohuan and convened a military meeting. Members of the Ministry of Defense all agreed that they should respond harshly to the invading Russian army. If there is a chance, they can further expand to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, because this battle It is to defend the territory, not to initiate an attack on Russia, so it does not need to be approved by Congress, as long as the cabinet agrees. Of course, the cabinet has no reason to disagree. After all, guarding the territory is also the responsibility of the cabinet.
Therefore, after the cabinet approval, the Ministry of National Defense immediately issued an order to the Shenyang Military Region to strictly guard the northeastern border, deal a heavy blow to all invading enemies, and wait for an opportunity to seize Nerchinsk City.
After finishing dealing with matters in the Northeast, Shang Yi was about to return to the harem. At this time, a servant came over and asked: "Your Majesty, send the official document to that palace tonight."
Although Shang Yi has been listening to cabinet reports every day these days, Bi Jing has been away from official duties for more than seven months. It is impossible to understand them all in just a few days, and there are new official duties coming every day, so Every night Shang Yi would spend a considerable amount of time reading old official documents. After Shang Yi returned to China, of course he also had to comfort the concubines one by one after they had been separated for more than half a year, so he changed them one by one every day and took turns accompanying them. If you spend the night in the palace, you will send the official documents you want to read to that palace.
However, it happened to be a round today, and everyone spent the night, so I asked Shang Yi again where to send today's official document. Shang Yi also hesitated and said: "Send it to Kunning Palace." Go ahead."
Da Cong agreed and went down immediately, while Shang Yi first went to Xianfu Palace to visit Toyotomi Kaoru, stayed with her for a while and then went to Kunning Palace.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Ye Yaoyu was coaxing her newborn son to sleep in the inner room, while Shang Wan was lying on the desk in the outer room writing. Seeing Shang Yi coming, Shang Wan also raised his head and called out softly. : "Father".
Shang Yi nodded, touched her little head, lowered his voice and said, "Guan'er, what is it written?"
Shang Wan said: "It's written about the surnames of hundreds of families. It has been written." As he said this, he pushed it in front of Shang Yi.
Now Shang Guan is over six years old, her character is still naughty and naughty, and she can jump and jump, full of energy, which makes the maids who look after her almost exhausted every day, but it also adds a lot of joy to the palace. However, Ye Yaojia is not just laissez-faire towards her daughter. She spends some time every day teaching her to read and write. Moreover, Shang Wan is also very smart and can now recognize more than 200 words.
Shang Yi took his daughter's calligraphy paper and saw that each Chinese character was written stroke by stroke. Although it was immature, it was also very neat, so he patted her head again and said, "Guan'er writes very well."
At this time, Ye Yaoyao came out of the inner room and said, "The emperor is here." He turned around and asked Shang Wan again, "Guan'er, I've finished writing Feng."
Shang Wan said: "I finished writing. My father just read what I wrote and said that I wrote very well."
Ye Yaoyao also took the paper, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the writing is much better than before, okay, let's go and play, but keep your voice down when you leave the palace, so as not to wake up your brother. "
Shang Guan agreed, tiptoed out of Kunning Palace, and then ran away quickly. Several palace maids followed him in a panic, shouting hurriedly: "Princess, slow down, run slow."
Looking at his daughter's retreating figure, Shang Yi smiled and said: "Time flies so fast, Guan'er is already over six years old. If it were before, she would have gone to elementary school."
Ye Yaoyao smiled and said: "What about going to elementary school? It's just like a princess going to school. It's almost enough to hire a master for her, but we have to wait until Huan'er grows up a little. Wait another two years to arrange a master for them. .”
In ancient China, when princes and princesses were young, their biological mothers would teach them some reading and literacy. When the princes were five or six years old, they would find a tutor to formally teach them various knowledge, usually from the court. Ministers who are recognized as knowledgeable will serve as the tutors of the princes. If there are many emperors, one tutor will teach them together, or each prince will be given a tutor. Of course, he will also be taught by a pontiff, but generally After the age of ten, the princess will no longer come to attend classes, because in ancient China, girls aged eleven or twelve could get married.
Now Shang Yi's eldest prince, Shang Huan, is less than four years old and is still too early to go to school. Therefore, Ye Yaoqi said that she would wait until Shang Huan grows up before she can find a master for him, and he will also teach Shang Guan, Shang E and other princesses. .
Shang Yi shook his head and said: "Such one-to-one teaching is not good for the growth of children, because children are still young now. They not only need to learn knowledge, but also learn to get along and communicate with others. Therefore, They should be allowed to study together with other children of the same age. Only in this kind of collective environment can it be conducive to children's growth."
