Orknido finally chose to retreat, not wanting gold, not having food, and discarding all other supplies.

Orknido took his surviving remnants of the Cossack cavalry and ran northwards.

But what Orknido would not have thought was that his remnants of the Cossack cavalry had completely penetrated into a pocket at this time. As soon as he fled the pursuit of the chariot battalion and the 6th battle infantry of the Third Army, he encountered the frontal blockade of a brigade of the Imperial Guards again.

The Cossack cavalry, who have become frightened birds, dare not look down on the group of yellow shorts in front of them anymore!

As soon as he saw the infantry of the Imperial Guard appearing on the snow field with guns, he no longer rushed forward with his knife for a while, but immediately turned his head and retreated in another direction.

But he didn't run from the other direction for a long time, or just passed a valley entrance, he was hit by fierce fire again, and the blinded Cossack cavalry had to run around like headless flies.

Orknido, the commander, cannot take any attention now. According to his previous combat experience, in this case, the defeated side will surrender and then become a prisoner of war and be killed by the victorious side.

It is obvious that Orknido doesn't want to admit that he lost the war or surrender. He just wants to run out as much as possible now, even if he is the only one left, he will flee back to Western Siberia.

Orknido had no choice but to order all parts to break through to divert firepower.

But in fact, for the Cossack cavalry who only have steel knives and behind firearms, this will have the same effect.

In the vast northeastern region, from forests to rivers, from tundra to valleys, gunfire and roar of war horses were heard everywhere.

Countless Cossack cavalry were shot to the ground by the sudden arrival of the Imperial Guard infantry, and even an Imperial Guard infantry dared to shoot at more than ten Cavalry Cossack cavalry directly, prompting them to change the direction of the breakout.

However, the Imperial Guard's own Third Cavalry Army, the living force, has just been dispatched.

Oboi learned about this world-famous Cossack cavalry through the military theory course of the Royal Military Academy. He also wanted to try fighting against such a top cavalry in the world.

But now it made him very depressed and disappointed. I don’t know when the cavalry can only use it for finishing work.

The artillery and chariots that are responsible for the main killing are even poisonous gases that are invisible to touch and see.

Oboi realized that the way of war was changing, but he was unwilling to admit this fact. He tried his best to prove that cavalry was still the most important military in the world, so he continued to insist on high standards and high requirements for his Third Army cavalry unit.

Even for such a finishing work, he had to ask that a Cossack cavalry could not escape. The entire Third Army was walking on the periphery of the Imperial Guard like a keen wolf pack, and was scattered in units. Once the existing small groups of Cossack cavalry broke through, if the number was small, they would be wiped out directly. If the number was large, they would be rushed directly into the encirclement and let the infantry be wiped out.

In this way, none of the Cossack cavalry escaped from the encirclement of the Imperial Guards. Except for some of the people who had to give up their dignity and surrender to the yellow shorts of the Ming Dynasty whom they looked down upon because of fear of death, almost all the Cossack cavalry died here.

The next morning, the body of Orknido, the commander of the Cossack Cavalry, was also found in a dense forest in the encirclement. The only one who was killed was an ordinary guard soldier. The guard soldier was ambushed here and was just preparing to fire a cold gun, but Orknido ran into him by chance.

Orknido was shot in the head, but from the countless thorn bushes and the sliding traces, Orknido was obviously hit in the head while galloping.

This is the individual quality of the Imperial Guard infantry!

Although the physique may be worse than these tall Cossack cavalry, under the abundant nutritional supply, even an ordinary soldier can shoot a fast-moving cavalry and hit the head with the reflection of the snow, without causing Orknido to escape due to night blindness and firearms.

Of course, being able to successfully snipe Orknido at night by coincidence cannot rule out accidental factors.

...

Only two days after the entire battle began, tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry who marched into East and West Siberia were all annihilated by 100,000 imperial guards in the outer northeast region.

This was something the Cossack cavalry themselves could never have imagined.

This cavalry that scattered the entire Eurasian Great Six will have to face the crushing caused by the gap in the times and will also become the first European army to be conquered by the Ming Dynasty.

The situation in the northeastern world was thus resolved. The supervisor Lu Xiangsheng also arrived at Miaojie City on the afternoon of the day. After meeting Mao Wenlong and Zhu Guozheng, he began to dispatch various units of the Imperial Guards to take the opportunity to recover other lost territory and occupy parts of East and West Siberia.

At this time, the East and West Siberia region was the only remaining middle area between the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty.

The Rakshasa Kingdom marched eastward with the Cossack cavalry as the vanguard, first occupying force, and then establishing administrative order.

Today, East and West Siberia has just been occupied by Cossack cavalry, so it has not had time to be completely Europeanized by the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng took this opportunity to send the Third Army of the Imperial Guards to occupy this part of the area first, and selected key places to build castles to prepare for future immigration.

The current share income of the Imperial Guard officers and soldiers is basically in the Imperial Guard. As the largest agricultural reclamation group in the Ming Dynasty, the amount of land it owns will determine the harvest of the Imperial Guard officers and the income of these Imperial Guard officers.

Therefore, officials of the Imperial Guard system such as Lu Xiangsheng supported Zhu Youxiao's policy of external expansion.

What's more, everyone knows that once the war is over, the most disadvantaged will be the military members.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not want to start the road to external expansion.

The main reason is that the battle between the south and the north has just ended, and the troops urgently need to rest.

In addition, there is still a western expedition in progress, and the taxes from the sea trade are also deported to Beijing, so the difference between the treasury expenditure and income of the Ming Dynasty began to widen a little.

Coupled with the continuous combat, both the army and the people were exhausted, so Zhu Youxiao had to suspend further expansion.

What's more, there are two forces in the north now that need to be solved urgently, one is Jiannu and the other is Lin Dan Khan's tribe in Mongolia.

Zhu Youxiao has never relaxed his vigilance against Jiannu, and the frequency of Jinyiwei's activities in Jiannu has never decreased.

In the desert, the land was reincarnated and many traitors were rectified, and the Ming Dynasty's increasingly powerful imperial guards made the Jiannu seem to have no vitality as they used to be.

At this time, the Jiannu country could be divided into two forces. One was the Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner, such as Huang Taiji and Dorgon, who were still stubborn in the hope of confronting the Ming Dynasty in the future.

One is that the Qing nobles represented by Zhenglan Banners and others gradually lost their fighting spirit to plot against the Central Plains, and began to enjoy themselves under the assimilation of Han bureaucrats. In their opinion, their Qing Dynasty no longer has the ability to fight against the Ming Dynasty, so it is better to live the present.

In fact, in the original history, there have always been differences among the Qing nobles about whether to enter the pass and enter the Occupy Central Plains, and not all the Qing nobles had ambitions.

What's more, even the Qing nobles at that time were not sure that they could become the master of the world. If Li Zicheng's Dashun regime had not deviated from the landlord and gentry group too much, resulting in the collusion between the Han landlords and bureaucrats, the Qing Dynasty would have been afraid that the Qing Dynasty would not be able to seize the country.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has shown signs of revival and its military power is strong. The Qing nobles of Jiannu knew more that they could not seize the country of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, with the addition of a large number of Han people, these Han people who could even lose their national integrity could not expect any good guiding role, and naturally brought the extravagant style of the late Ming literati to Jiannu.

This made many Manchu nobles not only abandon their hard work of eating raw meat and drinking blood, but also became arty and elegant, growing flowers and making birds funny.

Some Manchu nobles followed Nurhaci to possess many interests in Liaodong before the Ming Dynasty, and now they exploit millions of serfs in northern Liaoning. Naturally, they also enjoyed life with capital like the powerful and powerful in the pass, and thus began to fall and become corrupt quickly.

In addition, some of the intentions of the Qing Dynasty nobles to plot against the Central Plains were successively eliminated by the Jinyiwei by relying on the Qing Dynasty to spread to history. Therefore, most of the Jiannu Han bureaucrats who could stay now were flatterers.

If a regime loses its enterprising spirit, it will begin to fall into division and internal struggle within it. This is how Jiannu is now.

Huang Taiji was still unwilling to be a Caotai emperor like this, and could only be a cold king in the bitter and cold land.

So Huang Taiji still wants to prepare for his troops and accumulate strength, and prepare to continue to plunder the pass in the future.

Dorgon, who maintained the same attitude, was still trying his best to strengthen his Jiannu's power. However, in Dorgon's view, it is not a question of whether his Qing Dynasty can destroy the Ming Dynasty, but whether the Ming Dynasty will destroy it.

The Ming Dynasty now controls the sea outlets of the south of the desert, northeastern and Liaodong. Even if Jiannu is busy with internal conflicts and integration and his own development at this time, it is impossible for no one to realize that his Qing Dynasty has been surrounded by the Ming Dynasty.

Dorgon is naturally the sensible person here, so although there is a rift between him and Huang Taiji, in order to protect his Qing Dynasty, he did his best to support Huang Taiji to continue his exhibition and be ready to fight the Ming Dynasty at any time.

Although many Qing nobles who were content with the status quo did not want to go to work hard to train horse riding and archery and even train firearms and artillery training, the Qing army station of Jiannu still built many flints and even equipped a flints with a scale of 10,000 people, and even a lot of artillery.

In addition, Huang Taiji and others also mobilized serfs to strengthen the city walls on the basis of the original city of the Ming Dynasty, and continued to strengthen elite troops because of their small population.

In other words, the Jiannu is still in charge of some of the Qing nobles who are enterprising, so the Jiannu of this matter has not yet completely degenerated. The Eight Banners army still has the power to fight, and even organized firearms and artillery troops.

In addition, Huang Taiji's series of reform measures to rest with the people also enabled him to achieve basic self-sufficiency and reserve certain strategic materials.

...

As for the Mongolian Lin Danhan, this person was also an ambitious person. Taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's busy extermination of Zheng Zhilong's pirate group and extermination of the foreign Northeast, Lin Danhan also accelerated the pace of unifying other Mongolian tribes.

Even taking advantage of the time when the Ming Dynasty was expeditioning the Hami Guard in the west, it attracted a large number of Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area to join forces, and it was necessary to start a war with the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty is provoking the northwest war.

But whether it was Jiannu or the Mongolian Lindan Khan tribe, Zhu Youxiao had no time to deal with these two elbows and armpits.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has begun to show its strengths internationally, he has offended many so-called great powers at this time. For example, Baron Turia, who forcibly regained the right to reside in Macau and killed Folangji on the grounds of extraterritorial legal rights, will inevitably cause Folangji's anger. No one is sure that Folangji will not revenge on the Ming Dynasty and provoke a war with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, after the Cossack cavalry has been wiped out and the East and West Siberia has already occupied East and West Siberia, it means that the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Western power of the Rakshasa Kingdom has officially escalated. With the arrogance and domineering nature of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Zhu Youxiao did not dare to guarantee that the Rakshasa Congress would give up.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that some things were necessary, otherwise Zhu Youxiao would not be sure that he would not be provoked by other external forces when he cleaned up the two powerful enemies in front of the house.

Because considering the upcoming Wanbao Festival and envoys from various countries will come to pay tribute, Zhu Youxiao did not ask Lu Xiangsheng to directly execute these captured Cossack cavalrymen in the northeast.

Instead, these Cossack prisoners of war were escorted to Beijing.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to use the heads of these Cossack prisoners of war to show off his prestige of the Ming Dynasty for those who visited the Ming Dynasty or stayed in the Ming Dynasty.

Galileo, who had been in the Ming Dynasty for two months, was specially invited outside the Meridian Gate as a foreigner of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Not only Galileo, but also other foreigners, such as international students from the Capital University, merchants and envoys from various countries who remained in the Capital, and many missionaries.

In short, almost all the external actors in the capital were invited outside the Meridian Gate.

Zhu Youxiao asked them to come outside the Meridian Gate to execute these captured Cossack cavalry in front of these expatriates.

The Cossack cavalry is a powerful army that has attracted worldwide attention in this world, especially for Westerners, it is like a demon.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao was going to inform these foreigners of the Ming Imperial Guard that the Ming Dynasty defeated the Cossack cavalry and captured more than 100 Cossack cavalry, so that they could bring the news back to their country to understand the true strength of the Ming Empire.

"This is the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and why is it tied to a cylinder like a prisoner of war at this moment."

Galileo was not a nerd. Although he lived in Florence all year round, he had visited other countries in Europe in his early years. He naturally knew the courage of the Cossack cavalry. He even saw the tragic situation of the Cossack cavalry slaughtering a manor with his own eyes, so he recognized these prisoners of war as the Cossacks as soon as he looked up.
