Dominate the Country

Chapter 952 Li Bai, that's a Chinese!

The news of Napoleon's enthronement was not heard until the late spring of the following year.

For Emperor Chen, this was a very normal thing. He would not be as excited as Beethoven and tear up the music he had worked so hard to compose. In Chen Ming's view, this was only the inevitability of history and the strong inertia of history.

Why did Napoleon want to be emperor? In fact, it is a very simple question. Combining the current situation in France with the social situation in Europe at this time, you will know why Napoleon became emperor. And you should know that although Napoleon has become a new generation of emperor, his nature as an emperor is completely different from the previous one. Napoleon represents the bourgeoisie, which is also what this great era needs. It is completely different from the previous feudal emperors, so Napoleon's degree can get the support of the French bourgeoisie.

Many reasons for Napoleon's coronation were born out of the times. In addition to protecting his own rights and interests, Napoleon also followed the flow of history. Perhaps, the newly turned bourgeoisie in France also needs a kind of "nobleness" to show their inequality with the civilian class.

When the aristocracy that oppressed the common people was defeated, money became a criterion for measuring social status. Napoleon's enthronement just consolidated this criterion.

However, the whole world has obviously changed so much, but Napoleon still became emperor in 1804, and even the time of his enthronement was almost the same as the original time and space, which made Chen Ming sigh at the powerful and extreme revision of history.

Apart from this "gossip", the news from the Ottoman Empire also confirmed from a certain side that Vienna and St. Petersburg are about to merge with London. The Third Anti-French Alliance may have kicked off at this time, and the war on the European continent is about to break out again. Then will the Battle of Trafalgar, which completely destroyed the French Navy and the Spanish Navy, break out as scheduled?

Villeneuve is not a suitable naval commander. As the commander-in-chief of the Franco-Spanish joint fleet, he is not competent. But the only help that Emperor Chen can give Napoleon is to let the European Office convey the message to Napoleon that Villeneuve is unqualified, after Napoleon resolutely rejected the paddle steamer with hybrid power of engine and sail.

Napoleon still has to walk his own path. Whether he can win the Battle of Austerlitz, whether he will lose the Battle of Trafalgar, whether he will break with Spain driven by desire, form an army to march to Russia, and finally be imprisoned in 1814, these are his own paths, and everything has to be "walked" by himself!

While Chen Ming was paying attention to the changes in the situation in Europe, the war situation in Central Asia also had new developments. Russia was determined to get involved in the war against France. A large amount of military supplies were tilted towards the western region of the country, and the support for the three southern khanates in Central Asia was inevitably weakened. This had a significant impact on the war situation in Central Asia.

According to the strength of the three southern khanates in Central Asia, they might still have some productivity in rifled guns, but the hexagonal guns and the shells needed for cannons were too much for them. Now without the support of Russia behind them, the situation of the three southern khanates, which were already at a disadvantage on the battlefield, was even worse.

The ten khanates fought in a dark battle, and the number of deaths was incalculable.

The civilian class suffered the most casualties in the war, especially the three southern khanates. Who made them the defenders? The battlefield was mainly in their territory?

Chen Min, who was stationed at Lake Balkhash, spared no effort to support the seven khanates, and he also knew that this battle was his last moment.

As the big boss of the logistics department, Chen Min, no matter how powerful he was, he would get old one day. Compared with Chen Cong, who was forced to withdraw from politics before he got old, Chen Min, who is now in his early seventies, is very, very lucky.

It has been 31 years since Chengtian, and Chen Cong has been away from politics for 21 years. What a terrible time is this? A generation has grown up. The Song Wangfu, which was very famous in the political arena in the early days of the founding of the country, has now become an ordinary rich brother. No matter how hard Chen Jiqing and Chen Jigong struggled, their positions could not reach half of Chen Cong's weight at the beginning!

Chen Min went to Xinjiang, and the overall situation of the logistics department was managed by the left and right assistant ministers. Chen Min was making room for future generations.

Seeing the bad situation, the Southern Khanate sent envoys to Istanbul for help. In terms of faith, the Southern Khanate and the Ottomans were of the same faction, so they asked for help from the Ottomans instead of Persia, which was closer.

Ailim and his people knew very well the close relationship between Istanbul and Nanjing, so they naturally did not expect Istanbul to send troops to help them. They just hoped that Istanbul could be a bridge and build a communication channel between the Southern Khanate and Nanjing.

In a word: they wanted to negotiate.

But Istanbul was not so easy to fool. The Southern Khanate had not been good at Istanbul for hundreds of years, but now that their lives were in danger, they knew to hug the thighs? What were they doing before?

Istanbul knew that the Southern Khanate was flirting with Russia.

The latter knew that Russia was about to intervene in the European war.

In other words, Russia's support for the Southern Khanate would decline rapidly, and the powerful enemy of Tsarist Russia would abandon the Southern Khanate. Why didn't these three shameless countries think of the honorable Ottoman Sultan and the honorable Caliph, who were sworn enemies of Russia when they were involved with Tsarist Russia?

Selim III was not an idiot who would be easily fooled by the three southern khanates.

Several traitors who joined forces with their enemies to fight against their friends, after being abandoned by their enemies, planned to cling to their thighs so that they could "negotiate" with their friends. What a big face!

Shortly after Chen Ming received the news that Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, the main force of the 20,000 new troops of the Central Juz joined the 10,000 troops of the Small Juz, together with the 20,000 to 30,000 militias of the two countries, plus the 30,000 new troops and more than 20,000 cavalry gathered from the four Mongolian Khanates, a total of 110,000 to 20,000 troops, with the Torghut Khan Wabashi as the main general and the 70-year-old veteran Sheleng as the deputy general, claiming to be an army of 200,000, burned, killed and looted all the way into the territory of the Bukhara Khanate. The Bukhara side had no choice but to hope that the main army on the Kokand battlefield would come back quickly, while dividing the troops into two groups to defend Samarkand and Bukhara. The large area outside the two cities could only be left to the Northern Allied Forces to ravage at will.

Wabashi is already 63 years old. He had not participated in the exhibition for many years before, but it turns out that he is still young. The coalition army led by him reached the outskirts of Samarkand in May.

Samarkand is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia, and its history can be traced back to 500 BC. As the most important commercial center of the Bukhara Khanate, the Bukharans have also completed the fortification of this city. It is obviously not a good idea to attack violently. Wabashi's approach is to dig trenches and siege the city, and organize a large army to surround the entire Samarkand.

Then he defeated the Bukhara rescue twice, especially the second time, which caused heavy trauma to the Bukhara people. Tens of thousands of prisoners were captured!

Then time went until the beginning of the next spring, and the siege of Samarkand lasted for ten months. The food and grass in Samarkand were exhausted, but the siege army outside the city was still motionless. The final result was that the people in the city collapsed.

At the end of March in the 32nd year of Chengtian, a white flag was hoisted on the top of Samarkand. Fourteen thousand Bukhara soldiers walked out of this solid fortified city and took the initiative to enter the prisoner-of-war camp of the Northern Allied Forces.

Samarkand, the largest city of the Bukhara Khanate, a city larger than the capital Bukhara, fell.

The fall of this city split the entire Southern Three Khanates in two halves, because Samarkand, as an important commercial city in Central Asia, is itself an important transportation hub, just like Zhengzhou and the Chinese railway network in later generations. The destruction of a transportation hub is definitely not as great as the fall of a prosperous commercial city seen on the surface.

Moreover, when the army surrounded Samarkand, the cavalry of the Northern Allied Forces had swept away all the towns and villages within two or three hundred miles around Samarkand.

A large number of captured people and cattle and sheep wealth were rolled back to the northern khanates. These things can be sold to Chen Han. Whether it is cattle, sheep, jewelry, or people, Chen Han will accept them all. But the old man doesn't want it!

The women and children were sent back to the mainland by the Chinese, while many young and strong people were sent directly to the mines, and some were transported to the western coast of the Caspian Sea, then loaded onto ships and shipped to the West Sea on the opposite bank, and then entered the Ottoman Black Sea coast through the Caucasus region.

In the Ottoman Empire, which allowed slave trade, the population business was a long-lasting hot business, and now the Ottoman Empire is worried about the labor force of the Suez Canal.

With the Iram family, the Egyptians could not be deceived into the construction site at an extremely low price as in the original time and space history, and then died in the thousands. How many people are there in the whole of Egypt? Iram could not watch more than 100,000 Egyptians in the Suez Canal.

Before, the Greeks played the original role of the Egyptians.

The victory of the sixth war against Russia won the Ottomans a precious breathing opportunity, and there was time to reorganize the internal Ottoman Empire. The first to suppress was Greece. After a "purge", the two million Greeks were reduced to only 1.6 to 70 million.

Among the one-sixth of the population that was reduced, some died in the war, some were slaughtered by the Ottoman army, some fled to the Balkans, and the last part was trafficked.

Greeks are white people. Men can be sold to the Suez Canal construction site, and young women are sold in large quantities to the Chinese. For a time, the price of white slaves in the Chinese population market became volatile.

But the Suez Canal is a bottomless pit that swallowed up the lives of tens of thousands of Greeks and still opened its mouth wide to desire more lives. Now the prisoners of war in the three southern khanates have become the best substitute!

After the time went to the summer of 1806, with the fall of Andijan, Mohammed Omar committed suicide, Alimu Khan surrendered, and the Bukhara and Khiva Khanates also came to their last moments.

Iltuzer of the Khiva Khanate died of illness, and the hastily succeeded Mohammed Rahim Khan fled to Russia; Haidar Tura Khan of the Bukhara Khanate chose to surrender.

The Central Asian war that had been going on for many years came to an end, and a threat on the Chen-Han border was lifted.

In the history of the original time and space, the Khanate of Kokand had "unreasonable ambitions" for southern Xinjiang. And the sad thing is that the Qing Dynasty in the original time and space, not only gave in and was timid to the powers such as Britain and France, but also gave in to the small country of Kokand.

For example, during the Zhang Geer Rebellion, although it was known that Kokand was behind it, Emperor Daoguang "swallowed his anger". At that time, there was no opium war. It really makes people depressed when thinking about it!

Now these three khanates have been completely wiped out. Not only Kokand is finished, but Bukhara and Khiva are also finished. Their land will be divided among the three Kazakh Khanates, and at the same time, the Three Kazakh Khanates will also give up part of their land to the Four Mongolian Khanates.

China will take all of Congling, the Pamir Plateau, and then the national boundary will cross westward into the Fergana Basin and take the Bishkek region in the north into its hands. Bishkek is the node of the Chu River and has a key geographical location. And it is in the west of Tokmak Fortress, and Suiye City in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was in the Tokmak area!

Suiye City is said to be the birthplace of Li Bai.

Then in China at this time and space, the question "whether Li Bai is Chinese" will no longer arise.

This question from the past life confused Chen Ming when he first heard it. Now he wants it all to become meaningless and unquestionable!

Although no one realizes this. Many people thought that Emperor Chen planned to take back all the Chu River Valley area in the future and completely connect Balkhash Lake to Congling...
