Chapter 666 Dorgon Khan
On the banks of the Yaic River, the Tatar camps were quite spectacular.
There are a large number of tents, with tens of thousands at most. The tents are shining in the sun. There are tall tassels on the tops of a large tent, swaying among the colorful small flags, pennants and military flags.
Among the numerous tents, the most gorgeous in the central tent is the Tatars' tent, which is the big tent of Dorgon. In the eyes of the Rosa people, Dorgon was the great Khan of the Tatars. The gorgeous tent was surrounded by hundreds of iron armored soldiers.
In this gorgeous tent, Dorgon, standing in front of the map, stared at the map on the wooden wall, his eyes becoming more and more greedy.
"Hong Chengchou, look, after crossing this river, going west, there are still tens of thousands of miles of land. Even the so-called Rakshasa is only a few tens of thousands of soldiers!"
Dorgon said with his fingers on the map with a bit of interest.
"In the past, who knew that the West would be so rich. The land on both sides of the Yayike River to the Volga River is no less fertile than Liaodong, but it is dozens of times as vast as Liaodong. Such a good place is no worse than the Central Plains!"
The prince's words made Hong Chengchou's expression look a little strange.
Even on the way to the Western Expedition, I saw the scenery of the Western Regions and the prosperity and vastness of the West. However, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, what place in the world can compare to the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains?
However, the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty did not give the Qing Dynasty a chance to enter the Central Plains again. Not to mention entering the Central Plains, why did the prince even move Shengjing to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains? It was not so much because the land there was more fertile, but rather to avoid the Ming Dynasty.
That man has been ascending the throne for five years!
Calculate the day, and you're about to start!
"Prince, I heard that Genghis Khan had fought all the way to Europa, but now the prince's army is no less powerful than Genghis Khan!"
Hong Chengchou's flattery made Dorgon laugh and said with great help.
"Hong Chengchou, you remember this wrongly. It was not Genghis Khan who hit Europa, but his grandson Badu. He went all the way to Qincha. Now in Rakshasa, Hungary, and Poland, he fought many places, and he also built the Qincha Khanate there..."
When talking about the Khanate Kingdom, Dorgon turned to face the map and said,
"Mongols... The Mongols will never forget Genghis Khan in their hearts. They were all from the Mongols in such a large territory back then, but now? They were occupied by the Rakshasa people. So many Khanate countries were destroyed. Hong Chengchou, do you think they are willing?"
"Prince, if they were willing, the Mongols would not be so excited when you said you would revive Genghis Khan's glory when you said you would go to the West to expedition!"
In recent years, what is the reason why the Mongols are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty under the command of the prince? First, they join this robbery group, and everyone can indeed make a profit, and whether they are Manchu, Han, or Mongolians, they can get extremely generous returns.
During the Western Expedition, they not only obtained gold, silver, treasures, slaves, and women, but also land. Large tracts of more fertile pastures were extremely attractive to the Mongolians. Even the Eight Banners of Manchu and Han were full of desire for the land.
In the West, there are more land, population and wealth waiting for them to plunder. For this robbery group, as long as they can still sit and divide the dirty things, everyone will cheer for "robbing the West". There is no difference from when they were in Liaodong in the past, but the target of the robbery has changed.
Of course, for the Mongols, they still have a desire to recreate the glory of Genghis Khan. Of course, now they can only achieve this glory under the leadership of the Qing Dynasty.
"Mongols, as long as they are willing to drive our Qing Dynasty, the world will sooner or later be our Qing Dynasty..."
Smiling, Dorgon said.
"Look, after crossing the river, the other side is the ranch of the Turkuts. They are the Mongols of the Erlut tribe, which is what you Han people call the Wasat people. Almost thirty years ago, in order to avoid the expansion of the leader of the Junggar tribe, Baturhuntaiji, he was forced to lead his troops to move west here with Orluk. The current leader Shukurdaiqing is the son of Orluk, and died at the hands of the Rakshasa people a few years ago. Shukurdaiqing and Rakshasa have an irreconcilable hatred. If they can be taken to my king's position, my Qing Dynasty will have another 50,000 or 60,000 Mongolian Eight Banners!"
The Eight Banners of Mongolia, what did the Qing Dynasty rely on in recent years?
Isn’t it just relying on the Eight Banners of Mongolia!
How many soldiers and horses were under Dorgon's command at the time?
The total number of people was only 50,000. Even though he later recruited 20,000 savage Jurchens and added 30,000 Han troops and Eight Banners, he now has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. After conquering Mongolia, he organized Khalkha Mongol into Eight Banners. Five years ago, he took advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife of Junggar and led more than 100,000 troops to expedition to Junggar and defeated the various troops of Junggar and organized them into Eight Banners.
Now he has 400,000 soldiers under his command, and only 50,000 people in the Manchus. In addition to 50,000 Han troops, the remaining 300,000 Mongolians had at least 250,000, and tens of thousands were the soldiers they recruited when conquering Kazakhstan. But even so, he did not think that the Mongols would pose any threat to him.
After all, the Qing Dynasty had long tamed Mongolia, and the Mongolians' characteristic is that the strong are kings! Of course, more importantly, he can strengthen his connection with Mongolia through his in-laws.
Manchuria and Mongolian Alliance!
This is the only option to fundamentally solve the shortage of the population. Of course, this alliance is not to recreate the glory of its ancestor Genghis Khan! It is to tie Mongolia to the chariot of the Qing Dynasty and to capture the city for the Qing Dynasty.
In the past, it was to conquer the Central Plains, but now it was to conquer Rakshasa and conquer the distant West.
"Half a year ago, Kurdeqing expressed his hostility to the envoy sent by the orphans. He was worried that the Rakshasa people would definitely take further measures to invade and control them in the next step, so he hoped to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty."
After a pause, Dorgon expressed his thoughts.
"What do you think if you are going to marry Shukuldaiqing's sister and join them in an in-law alliance?"
The prince's words made Hong Chengchou mutter in his heart, your harem is full of the sisters and daughters of the leaders of Mongolian tribes.
The marriage between the Qing Dynasty was the national policy of the Qing Dynasty!
I still need to say it!
"Prince, if this is the case, the betrothal gift should not be light. In the opinion of the minister, you might as well send troops to help him seize the city of Astrakhan. He died in the battle when he besieged Astrakhan. He seized this city and handed it over to him. Then Shukuldaiqing will definitely be used by my Qing Dynasty!"
Hong Chengchou's suggestion made Dorgon laugh.
"Only one Astrakhan city may not satisfy Shukuldaiqing. Gu planned to grant him all the territory of the Astrakhan Khanate in the past, and then set up the Zasak banner to let him drive my Qing Dynasty."
Although the Mongols were an important part of the Eight Banners Army, they now became the main force of the Eight Banners Army when the Eight Banners lost serious manpower. However, in addition to the Eight Banners Mongolia, there was also the Zhasak Banner. In the past, they were dozens of Neizasak Banners established by the Qing Dynasty subjugated Mongolia in the south of the desert. They did not belong to the Eight Banners Army system. Usually these Mongols did not receive any salary, and only when they were summoned by the Qing emperor to go to war for their own life. They implemented the unity of military and civilians, and they usually supported themselves, but they could maintain a certain degree of independence in the designated pastures. This was also the way the Qing Dynasty mastered the Mongols and let them drive them for themselves.
After Dorgon and Hong Chengchou discussed how to win over Shukuldaiqing and let him be driven by him, Hong Chengchou asked again.
"Prince, then Li Guo has conquered Bukhara! How can we deal with this matter?"
In fact, when Li Guo was going to fight the West, Hong Chengchou also thought about stopping them, but in the end, considering that someone needed to suppress them in the south, he agreed with this.
But they didn't expect that they would occupy Bukhara so quickly.
"It's okay, let him take it first. The south side is in their hands, and it's more at ease than in the hands of those semen."
Dorgon said with his eyes narrowed.
