"Do the former slaves also dare to bite the master?"
Abu Nai said in a deep voice, breaking the noise.
Among the three major Mongolian tribes, the Monan Mongolian tribe is headed by the Chahar tribe, who are the direct descendants of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty and Genghis Khan.
Mobei Mongolia is mostly dominated by Genghis Khan's vassal tribes, such as Tata'er, Wengjila, Meerqi, Woyila, Kile, Naiman, and Wanggu tribes. They are either hostile tribes or vassals, so
Have always been discriminated against.
As for the descendants of Mongolia and Wala in the desert, bah!
For the Chahar tribe, which claims to be a golden family, it is acceptable for the Mobei Khalkha Mongolian tribes to watch the show, but it is absolutely difficult to accept them going south.
"The tribes of Khalkha have forgotten the glory of Mongolia!"
"Kill these traitors——"
The simple and long-lasting concept makes many people angry and temporarily forget the pressure.
Jin Zeming lamented on the sidelines, hoping it could last a little longer!
In his opinion, the bloody nature of the Mongols had been castrated by the Manchus after the death of Lin Dan Khan, and even if there was still a little bit left, it would not last long.
But this thing is like a seventy-year-old man, if one drop counts, just one drop.
"The creation of slaves is coming, does the Ming Dynasty have any countermeasures?"
Abu Nai looked at Jin Zeming with a threat on his mature face: "Just relying on some gunpowder is not enough. The Khalkha Mongolian tribes plus the Manchu Qing Dynasty are enough troops to overthrow the grassland."
Jin Zeming smiled slightly and said: "In addition to allowing the Chahar tribe to exchange gunpowder, I argued hard with the court and added five hundred matchlock guns."
"In addition, as long as your department still has money, cattle, sheep, armor, swords and guns, you can exchange them in large quantities."
The nobles were overjoyed, as this would strengthen the Chahar tribe.
And if it was during the time of Lin Dan Khan, how could the mere trade be happy? Without the silver reward, it would not move at all.
At worst, they would give up their position and the tribes would move westward.
But after several years of indoctrination, the trade turned into meat and bones, which made the Mongolian nobles unable to stop. They exported a large number of grassland specialties such as wool, sheepskin, cowhide, beef tendon, and horns, in exchange for silk, grain, and weapons.
Once you leave, these will be gone.
Moreover, the Yinshan Hetao area was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, so they had no place to move and could only defend in place.
Looking at the smiling nobles wearing thick cotton robes, Abu Nai felt a little uncomfortable.
In the huge grassland, there was no place for the Chahar tribe to move at this time. They were like wooden stakes, staring here and had to carry the Manchu army.
"Pass on my military order that each of our troops should send out one soldier from each tent and provide their own horses and weapons. The rest of the troops must do their best to gather young men and women to meet here."
Chahar Khan's military order spread throughout the grassland, and for a time the entire Chahar region entered a wave of war.
After observing Haer's Manchus for a long time, he learned that the news was exposed, so he was naturally unambiguous and moved his troops quickly.
In Shengjing, Dorgon replaced Emperor Shunzhi and awarded Azig the title of General to the West. He also appointed Leke Dehun, Nikan, and Aobai as deputy generals to lead an Eight Banners army of 30,000 people to attack the rebel Abu Nai.
The mighty 30,000-strong army gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses from Khalkha Mongolia and marched towards Chahar.
"Prince Regent, the army has just been formed and it is easy to go south to the grassland. The consequences are unpredictable!"
Hong Chengchou looked at the retreating army with doubts in his heart.
"The Chahar tribe is too strong to get rid of."
Dorgon looked ugly: "In the past few years, I have indulged him, and the Chahar tribe has grown larger and larger. If we don't suppress him, the Horqin tribe will be in chaos."
"Manchuria and Mongolia are one, and we must not let the Mongolian tribes die in chaos."
As he said that, Fan Wencheng on the side chuckled and said: "This battle is, firstly, to intimidate the Chahar tribe, and secondly, to draw the Khalkha tribes into trouble and make them fight with the Chahar tribe."
Ning Wanwo, who had a weak sense of existence, laughed in a low voice and said: "Abu Nai is not in danger, he is afraid of being used by others, involving our energy, and borrowing it from the tribes of Khalkha."
Hong Chengchou glanced at Dorgon who was silent. When he saw the other people talking so much, he immediately became interested and began to integrate into the core decision-making level of the Qing Dynasty.
This is a gratifying step, but also a difficult step.
He had mixed feelings in his heart.
The group of people slowly returned to the palace. Fan Wencheng, as the chief minister of the cabinet (replaced in the past two years), bowed and said:
"In the past two years, the tribes such as Sauron and the Eight Banners of Korea have been incorporated, adding nearly 200,000 people, and the number of people in the imperial court has exceeded 2.5 million."
Fan Wencheng said, his tone full of difficulty.
When Huang Taiji first ascended the throne, there was a serious shortage of Dingkou due to Nurhachi's incomplete killing order. The entire Houjin Dynasty only had one million people.
Over the years, they have entered the customs many times and robbed people, the number of which has reached millions, and most of them are slaves.
"In the past few years, the weather has been stable, with fewer floods and snowstorms. When autumn came, I went to count the grain depots. There were still millions of stones left in the various prefectures and counties, as well as in the warehouses in Shengjing, which could barely meet the needs of the imperial court for half a year.
"
"I have entered the customs many times over the years, and the price of silver is extremely low, making things expensive..."
"After the Ming Dynasty retreated, they only did business with the Chahar tribe. After trade was blocked, cotton cloth, porcelain, etc. were scarce in the market. People's daily needs were gradually insufficient, and military supplies were also gradually insufficient."
Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng said bluntly: "There is little cotton, so cotton armor has nothing to produce. Gunpowder is even more scarce, and the court does not have enough. If the Ming army enters western Liaoning in the future, the artillery on the city can only be used for other purposes."
.”
"The only thing that is relatively rich is iron."
Food is sufficient, iron tools are abundant, but everything else is in short supply, especially gunpowder, which is severely lacking.
Hearing this, an idiom immediately came to Hong Chengchou's mind: internal and external difficulties.
The climate in Liaodong has always been inferior to that of the Central Plains, and its biggest outputs are only furs and timber. The lack of inland trade has left the people in poverty.
This is the result of North Korea's transportation for many days.
After returning to Guannei, things were really different from those during the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "The imperial court is much different now than before. Do you have any insights?"
"What the old minister has seen and lacked is Shanxi merchants."
"That's right." Dorgon admired: "Although they all came to Liaodong, they are far less useful than staying in the pass."
"Liaodong is really too small."
After seeing the beauty and vastness of the Central Plains, the vast territory in the past is now much smaller.
The spices for the nobles were gone, there was no silk, and there was a lack of fine porcelain. It was difficult for the Eight Banners nobles to adapt.
"Now, we can only find another Shanxi merchant."
Hong Chengchou thought about it, his bright eyes narrowed, and after a long while, he said: "Although the Eighth Route Army of Korea is small, it has everything it should have. As long as the court is willing to spend money, it is possible to have one more Shanxi merchant."
"The Yalu River is so long, it's impossible to set up defenses everywhere, right?"
"The regent can let these Shanxi merchants go south to Korea and pretend to be Ming merchants to do business."
