第1139章不就是用钱吗,朕有的是

Europeans would never have dreamed that in this era, just as capitalism was taking its first steps onto the historical stage, there would already be people ready to start redistributing land from the rich.
Especially in Eastern Europe, the serfdom system under the rule of the Russian Empire has exacerbated social contradictions. This has made it easier for the Ming army to incite unrest, leading to a large number of people causing trouble.
Most importantly, the Chinese army has a guide like Khabarov, making many things much simpler.
In fact, even before the expedition, the Chinese army had already learned about numerous issues and contradictions within the Russian Empire from Khabarov.
It is necessary to prescribe the right medicine for each social class, tailored to their specific needs.
For example, for the serfs, the solution would be to free them from bondage and let them sing songs. The landlords would be eliminated, and the local bureaucrats would be removed.
As for the willing landlords who were ready to cooperate, the approach used was to win them over. For instance, buying grain from them with silver and encouraging cooperation between Ming businessmen and these landlords.
This is called the internal division of the landlord forces while suppressing the landlord forces.
As a result, the speed of the Ming army's advance towards Moscow cannot be considered fast.
It can even be described as slow.
This can also be considered as one of the tactics used by the Ming Dynasty's army.
Objectively speaking, the winter in the Russian Empire is indeed cold, making it difficult for enemy forces to capture Moscow during the winter.
The main challenge lies in the long frontline, lack of logistics, and bases.
For example, Napoleon, for example, the little mustache.
They both adopted a tactic of brute force, also known as aggression.
This has been proven to be a failure.
Of course, the strength of the countries in this era also played a role in their failures.
In the era of Napoleon, Tsarist Russia had already completed the reforms of Peter the Great and the expansion under Catherine the Great.
During the time of the Little Mustache, the Red Giant achieved industrialization.
And in this era, the 17th century, Russia was still in the early stages of its empire, and Peter the Great had not yet carried out reforms.
Currently, Russia has only implemented some reforms on its military, establishing a mixed military system by imitating Western Europe.
莫斯科对地方的控制非常薄弱。
这也给了明军可乘之机。
From May to June, the Ming Army has been stationed in the western Volga River basin, gradually advancing and making efforts to establish pro-Ming strongholds in the area. Reply: Moscow's control over the local areas is indeed fragile, which has created favorable conditions for the Ming Army to exploit. During the period from May to June, the Ming Army has strategically positioned itself in the western Volga River basin, slowly but steadily progressing and striving to establish supportive strongholds in the region.
Zhu Cilang initially thought that only the farmers of the Ming Dynasty needed to rise up and become masters in their own homes, but he didn't expect that the fate of the Russian Empire's farmers was even worse than that of the past farmers of the Ming Dynasty.
If this is the case, there are still many farmers in the Western world who need to be liberated?
Having realized this, Zhu Cilang suddenly developed a strong interest in the Western world.
This is what he wrote in his military journal: On June 10th of the 23rd year of Chongzhen, the army solved the farming issue for 12,543 people. After receiving land, these people's goodwill towards us greatly increased. Some people even gave us gifts and others showed us the way.
He continued: We have also gained support from several landlords and nobles here. They are willing to do business with our merchants. This is a good thing and it proves that the efforts of the railway team have not been in vain. In the future, more people may sell their goods here.
He wrote again: If the economy of the Ming Dynasty is closely connected to this place, the mission of the Western Expeditionary Army will be basically fulfilled.
Finally, he summarized in his writing: At first, I thought the Western Expedition was about conquest and destruction, satisfying the emperor's desire for victory. But it's not the case. Along this journey, we killed enemies, but we also did a lot of construction work. We liberated serfs, and we spent money to buy food from the local area. Our railways are gradually advancing in this direction, and our products are following closely behind.
This will be an economic belt spanning the world.
On June 20th, Chongzhen in Chengde, where he was avoiding the summer heat in the north, received a report from Li Dingguo.
After reading it, he expressed his satisfaction.
He was very clear in his heart that he couldn't rush to attack Moscow.
Was the First French Empire powerful?
Napoleon also faced defeat at Waterloo.
Was the little mustache man going insane at that time?
后来一样玩完了。
An expeditionary force must be steady and methodical, going to a place not to plunder, but to rebuild.
把那里从敌人手里，变成自己手里。
In the era when the concept was not yet formed in this country, doing so would be more efficient.
He even called Li Dingguo and said that it doesn't matter if we don't attack Moscow this year, the most important thing is to solidify the rear strongholds.
Of course, Li Dingguo's purpose was not merely to submit a written report; he came to request support. Translation:
西征军深入敌境已经一年多时间，该用的钱都用完了。
后续的补给线速度明显有些跟不上。
一旦钱不够，如何在当地打根据点呢？
Chongzhen, who is currently summering in Chengde, immediately summoned all senior military officers to come to Chengde.
On June 25th, the emperor met with officials from the Military Commission in Chengde.
In fact, Sun Chuanting also received a report from Li Dingguo, which is basically consistent with the one here in front of the emperor.
Chongzhen said, "The situation on the frontlines is roughly like this. Li Dingguo has already advanced to a distance of only a thousand miles from Moscow."
"Moscow has already assembled a large army, and to the north of our troops are the Tatars. These Tatar tribes, mainly composed of Mongols and Turks, would pose a formidable military threat if they were united."
"Fortunately, Moscow is currently unable to fully assemble them."
"Our army is currently here, establishing a support point. The railway in the rear has been built up to this point." Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
"It is now the end of June. If we forcefully advance westward and launch a strong attack on Moscow, even if the progress goes smoothly, it will take at least until the end of September. By that time, Moscow will have cooled down and will be greeted with heavy snowfall."
“这样会削弱我军的机动性，敌人也可能会趁机切断我军后勤，使我军孤立。”
皇帝一板一眼地说着。
“所以，眼下当务之急，诸位看怎么办？”
孙传庭说道：“加快后勤体系的建设。”
“如何加快？”
Li Banghua said, "Increase the mobilization of supplies. Since the railways have already been laid down, we can increase the transportation of materials."
Chongzhen sat in a reclining chair, lightly tapping the armrest with one finger, lost in thought.
"How much money has been spent on the Western Expeditionary Army?"
Sun Chuanting replied, "30 million taels."
"Establish a temporary logistics dispatch team. Sun Chuanting, you will be the overall commander. Budget can be freely proposed, and training needs can also be requested. I want to use every possible means to transport money and food to the frontlines."
"Your Majesty, this may require a huge expenditure."
@"No worries, take over Moscow and make them pay first, then sell goods to the Russian Empire at a differential price."
无非就是再用3000万两。
这点钱，对于现在的崇祯来说还真不算什么钱。
Since the conquest of the Mughal Empire, the sales of their goods in the regions of the Western Border and the sea have grown significantly.
Only one Mughal Empire, it brings an income to the court of no less than 80 million taels a year. In ten years, it can accumulate an income of 800 million taels from the Mughal Empire.
It is nothing more than using the Mughal Empire's ten-year income to defeat the Russian Empire.
