"My mother! Who is afraid of whom?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Ma Gongcheng blushed and stood up: "Emperor, I am willing to go to Liaodong to lead troops to attack the north. The Russians in the north are so bullying. He did it on the first day of the lunar month and I was the fifteenth day of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of war, can I still be suppressed by mere Maozi? Let me raise troops to destroy the Russians in Yaquesa first, and then drive them back to my hometown directly!"

"Ma Shuai is right! How can our great Chinese power be bullied by barbarians like this? What is this face? How should the Ming Dynasty face the world? I ask the emperor to order the emperor to immediately expel the ministers in Beijing, block customs, and cut off trade! Especially in the South China Sea, aren't there any colonies in various countries? With the strength of our Ming navy, our Ming navy is enough to destroy its garrison and seize its colonies, and give them a hard lesson!" Sun Jiagan was a civil servant, but at this time his expression was even more excited than Ma Gongsheng, and his words were even more excessive.

"Your Majesty must not!" Zeng Yishu, who had just returned to Beijing, quickly persuaded: "It's too reckless to deal with it like this. Once you do this, my Ming Dynasty will become the target of public criticism, and there is no possibility of detour again..."

"Hmph, I said, Lord Zeng, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly. Now you are bullied to the point of being bullied. Do you still deliberately pretend to be ignorant? Such a thing is not equivalent to stealing the bell?" Sun Jiagan glared at Zeng Yishu and sarcastically rudely.

Zeng Yishu ignored the angry Sun Jiagan and said solemnly to Zhu Yicheng: "Old Master, I think this matter has not reached such a point. Although there are various signs that countries seem to intend to target our Ming Dynasty, they have not broken up against our Ming Dynasty in the end."

Zhu Yicheng didn't say anything, looked at Zeng Yishu quietly and asked him to continue talking.

Zeng Yishu bowed to everyone and said, "Emperor, sir, I am a civil servant, but I also know that Sun Tzu's Art of War says that war is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death. We must observe it! Although the current situation is not good for our Ming Dynasty, all countries have not officially broken up against our Ming Dynasty. Even Russia, which took action first, is the same. If Russia wants to use this to start a war against our Ming Dynasty, why should it cover up? Just start a fight directly."

"It may also be that Russia did it intentionally to cover up its purpose?" He Xianzu asked.

"Absolutely not!" Zeng Yishu said with certainty: "Gangsun said an idiom. Zeng thought that the reason why Russia was doing this was so simple. Once Russia started a war, it would have no room for maneuver with our Ming Dynasty. Next, Russia only has one way to go, that is, to fully support the Qing Dynasty and increase troops to the border."

Speaking of this, Zeng Yishu asked Deng Bing: "Mr. Deng, you are in charge of the Ministry of Public Affairs. You should have some understanding of Russia's situation in the East, right?"

Deng Bing understood Zeng Yishu's meaning and stood up and said, "Russia set up the Oriental Governor's Office in the East, and its Governor's Office is located in Aoergao, Mobei. This place was originally the Khalkha Living Buddha's headquarters. After the Battle of Mobei, it was obtained by Russia and is now the Governor's Office in the Eastern (Far East) of Russia."

"Russia's power in the East is not very strong. At most, the current Governor's Office and the defenders of Yaksha are less than 20,000. Apart from these troops, the cavalry composed of the Mongols who surrendered in the northern desert of the desert were about 10,000, and all of them were only more than 30,000."

"It is impossible to transfer all these 30,000 troops to fight against our Ming Dynasty. The resistance forces in Mongolia after Russia occupied the northern part of the desert still existed. In addition, Russia occupied a vast territory in the east, and the strongholds and fortresses also needed to be stationed in various strongholds. In my opinion, the real use of troops is only more than 10,000 at most."

Speaking of this, Deng Bing turned to Zhuang Yan, who had not spoken, and asked: "Mr. Zhuang, with the General Staff, I have received the news, how many troops have the Russians in the Western Regions used?"

"The specific amount is not clear, but judging from the current war reports sent back from the Western Regions, there are definitely less than 10,000 people." Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said.

Deng Bing nodded and continued: "Russia is now directly bordering our Ming Dynasty, that is, the area north of Liaodong. Although Russia has not clearly sent troops to our Ming Dynasty, but has taken private troops. In my opinion, Russia does not have the idea of ​​going directly with our Ming Dynasty. Because once the war begins, our Liaodong troops can directly attack Russia's Yaquesa area to the north. With the thousands of Russians in Yaquesa, they cannot stop our army at all."

"In addition, if Russia wants to officially start a war with our Ming Dynasty, it will have a serious shortage of troops unless it is dispatched from the West. However, the current information shows that although Russia has shown signs of increasing troops to the east and increasing material transportation, it has not conducted a large-scale transfer of troops. This shows that Russia does not have the idea of ​​really fighting this battle with our Ming Dynasty."

Zeng Yishu and Deng Bing finished speaking and immediately took over and said, "Thank you Lord Deng to help us solve our doubts, Emperor, you all, from this we can see that Russia's move is only to support the Qing Dynasty privately, intending to use this method to delay our Ming Dynasty's occupation of the Western Regions and hinder our Ming Dynasty's strategy to completely eliminate the Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, the possibility of Russia going directly with our Ming Dynasty is extremely small."

"But there is no guarantee that this is not possible!" Sun Jiagan reminded.

Zeng Yishu nodded and said, "Of course, this is only the current judgment and cannot guarantee possible changes in the future. However, dear lords, in addition to what happened in the Western Regions and Mongolia, as well as the situations in Myanmar, Xinming and other places, although the behavior of various countries against our Ming Dynasty has brought great pressure to our Ming Dynasty, one thing needs to be noted, that is, none of the countries have taken formal actions! This is crucial!"

"Not taking formal actions may be just the time has not come!" Ma Gongcheng said from the side.

Zeng Yishu expressed his agreement: "As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, and you should not be unfair to guard against others. The exchanges between countries are more complicated than those between people. Moreover, today's situation is clear that countries have joined forces and adopted a joint strategy to target our Ming Dynasty."

"All countries actually know that if they formally start a war with our Ming Dynasty, they will inevitably bear the revenge of our Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that this is not what countries want to see. In other words, the actions of Western countries are just to curb our Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would not be so. I think that although our Ming Dynasty is strong at present, we still need to beware of a full-scale war with other countries, and the risk of starting a war is extremely high."

"Western countries are different from our China. The only thing they see is the word "interest". What they want to put it bluntly is also the benefit. Emperor, I beg the Emperor not to start a war recklessly. It is easy to start a war, but it is difficult to pack up. What is the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty at the moment? Please think twice before you act!"
