There were also two iron-hatted kings at the banquet. One was Prince Jian Yabu, and the grandson of Prince Zheng Jierhalang. After his brothers Labu and Desai died one after another, they seized the title of Prince Jian in April last year. [] Another
One is Luo Luohun, the king of Duolokeqin County, whose father is Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Prince Li, Daishan, grandson of Taizu. There is also Prince Gong, Chang Ning, who is the younger brother of the current saint. Although he is not an iron hat king, he is also
The position is very high and the authority is very high. The rest are Baylor, Dukes who have reached the eighth level or not, and generals who govern the country.
After Mingzhu punished himself with a drink, he asked his son Nalan Rongruo to also toast to the clan members. Just now someone heard that Mingzhu outside had got the treasure, and now they shouted for him to take it out for everyone to see. Mingzhu smiled modestly,
At the same time, he asked his son to take out those Dongzhu and give them to the princes and the Belles. He said that he wanted to give one to the princes, but they were embarrassed to ask for it, so they brought the matter over with a smile and started to talk about other interesting things.
The banquet was open until it was almost half hour, and Zhao Qiang's stomach was already full. Because Mingzhu still had something to say to him, he kept waiting until everyone in the front and back yards had dispersed, and no servant came over.
Invite him to the Pearl Room.
"I would like to say hello to the Prime Minister and all the adults!"
As soon as he entered Mingzhu's room, Zhao Qiang came to the room. In addition to Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi, there were six or seven people in the room, some in casual clothes and some in official uniforms. They seemed to be of high grade. Two of them were the ones he had just seen in the hall.
When Gao Shiqi saw Zhao Qiang about to salute, he waved his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Forget it, you are not a bannerman, why are you doing this courtesy?"
"Young ones are also considered to be under the flag. It is appropriate to give the Prime Minister and all the adults the flag-bearer salute." Zhao Qiang insisted on saluting and knelt on the ground waiting for Mingzhu to speak.
"stand up."
Mingzhu's face no longer had the smile she had just outside, but looked serious. The officials also had sullen faces, looking at Zhao Qiang attentively, which made Zhao Qiang's scalp feel numb, wondering what they wanted to do.
"Mi Qing, let me ask you, where do your Sauron Qiuhe tribe live now, and how many men are there in the tribe?" The person who asked the question was not Mingzhu, but the infantry commander Xi Zhu.
"Returning to your Majesty's words, our Qiuhe tribe has been living on the banks of the Ergun River since the Chongde period. We currently have a total of 2,400 people in our tribe, less than half of whom are male, and about six to seven hundred of whom are young.
"Zhao Qiang brought out the rhetoric he had prepared for himself.
"Ergun River?" Mingzhu nodded slightly after hearing this, and turned sideways and asked Keerkun: "Is that still north of Sanxing?"
Gao Shiqi also asked: "That place is now occupied by Rakshasa people?"
Keerkun once served as a household minister in Shengjing, so he knew a little about things outside the customs. He said: "The Ergun River was originally located in the far north and was sparsely populated. After the Rakshasa people came to Shunzhi three years ago, we in the Qing Dynasty
I will not exercise authority over that place." Not exercising authority naturally means that he cannot take care of that place, or that he has given up the Qing land along the Ergun River. Kerkun's wording is very euphemistic.
Of course Mingzhu knew what Keer Kun meant, and she sighed immediately and said to Zhao Qiang: "You Qiuhe tribe live under the eyes of the Rakshasa people. The court failed to protect you and allowed you to be bullied by Rakshasa people. It's really hard for you.
"
Zhao Qiang said hurriedly: "The small tribe has never welcomed the Rakshasa people. The whole clan has always regarded the Qing Dynasty as our country. The Rakshasa people's country is a small country, just clowns. Although they show off their evil for a while, but
This will not last forever, the imperial court will send a large army to conquer them one day, and then the Rakshasa people will only follow far away, and will no longer dare to invade our Qing Dynasty!"
"Okay, that's right. The Rakshasa Kingdom is a clown. As soon as the army arrives, it will fall apart. If they are stubborn, they will be killed and no one will be left alive!" After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, he sat next to Xi Zhu with a skin.
The dark-skinned man couldn't help shouting. He looked like he was a military general.
"The imperial court has made a decision about the army's northern expedition. Are we still afraid that we won't be able to fight without you? Don't interrupt and listen to what Prime Minister Ming has to say." Xizhu stopped the man with a smile and told him not to interrupt Prime Minister Ming's question.
After hearing this, the man stopped talking.
"Your Qiuhe tribe is right under the eyes of the Rakshasa people. I believe the Rakshasa people must have had an idea of you. I wonder how you fought against the Rakshasa people. Can you tell me the truth about the situation?" Mingzhu then asked Zhao Qiang.
"The group of Rakshasa people closest to our Qiuhe tribe is entrenched in Erguna City. There are hundreds of Rakshasa soldiers. Every time they come to loot our tribe, there are more than a hundred people and dozens of people at the least.
They are all equipped with firearms, and their fighting power is very fierce. However, there are many men in our clan, and they are all good hunters. They are equipped with many longbows and dozens of muskets, so although they suffer a disadvantage, they can't do anything to us.
Perhaps they know that our tribe is not easy to mess with, so these Rakshasa people do not attack our tribe easily, and only come to cause trouble in autumn and winter before the ice freezes. Sometimes, our tribe has no choice but to provide them with some food as a way to protect the tribe.
Plan." At this point, Zhao Qiang knelt down again and kowtowed: "This is a last resort. Please don't take offense to the Prime Minister and your lords."
"Well, how can the imperial court blame you for this expedient measure?" Gao Shiqi said, and Keerkun and others also nodded. It is understandable that the Qiuhe tribe provided food to the Rakshasa people for self-protection. Who can
Let the court abandon them.
Mingzhu pondered for a while and asked Zhao Qiang: "Mi Qing, I want to ask you, what do you do to the Rakshasa people in the north?"
Zhao Qiang was startled: "What aspect is the Prime Minister asking about?"
Mingzhu said: "Just talk about it, don't refer to any specific aspect, just talk about your method. After all, your Qiuhe tribe has been dealing with the Rakshasa people all year round, and you know yourself and the enemy, so you should know a lot more than the rest of us."
"Yes, Prime Minister." Zhao Qiang pondered in his mind and said: "The Rakshasa people have very powerful firearms, and they have Cossack cavalry to help them. Their sabers are very sharp, and it is difficult to resist the fast horses. But come and attack the Rakshasa people.
It seems that there are not many soldiers. Every battle can range from a hundred to dozens of soldiers. We have never seen more than this number."
"Everywhere they go, they will first kill all the men and drive away the old, weak, women and children for their own use. If the court sends a large army to conquer these Rakshasa people, they will not be able to fight for more than three or four months in spring and summer. Once it snows and freezes, the Rakshasa people will
They refused to defend the fortified city and relied on the superiority of firearms, but there was nothing the imperial court could do against them."
Zhao Qiang talked about the objective situation of the Russians. I'm afraid Mingzhu and the others also know these situations.
Mingzhu listened with great concentration. Seeing Zhao Qiang stop, she couldn't help but said: "What else?"
"What else?" Zhao Qiang's heart suddenly trembled, wondering what else the other party wanted to know.
"Just tell me how to deal with Rakshasa people is the best way." Gao Shiqi saw that Zhao Qiang didn't know what to say, but reminded him.
"Young people are just people from the countryside and have never been in the military. How can you know how to deal with the Rakshasa people?" Zhao Qiang looked at Gao Shiqi in a dilemma, hoping that he could say a few words for him.
But Gao Shiqi smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want. Everyone here has not seen a big scene. You will know whether your words are good or bad as soon as you hear them. There is nothing to worry about."
"Okay, let's think about it." Zhao Qiang buried his head in thought. After a while, he said: "The Rakshasa soldiers are few and scattered. We only need to choose elite soldiers and generals who are familiar with the terrain, lurk behind them, and cut off communication with each other.
Then these Rakshasa people will be like a scattered group, with no information about each other. As time goes by, their positions will be disrupted without the need for a large army to conquer." This method was the actual combat of Guan Ning's army against the Russian army.
Zhao Qiang said it now, but he didn't think Mingzhu would adopt his suggestion. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter. Now the Russians only have large strongholds in the Heilongjiang Basin, and the rest of the places are basically in their own hands. If the Qing army really
Heading north rashly will help you and save you a lot of trouble.
After Zhao Qiang finished speaking, Mingzhu glanced at everyone in the room: "What are you doing?"
Xizhu nodded: "It makes perfect sense."
Kelkun also said: "It's feasible."
Another official said hesitantly: "It sounds feasible, but as soon as we know the Northland, it is not difficult to send good soldiers and generals. The problem is that if you are not familiar with the place, if you plunge in, why don't you let the other side use it?"
Did the person just get the handle?"
"We're not familiar with each other, but someone is." Gao Shiqi smiled slightly and asked Mingzhu.
Zhu nodded slowly and said to Zhao Qiang: "Mi Qing, are you willing to share the worries of the court?"
