Even Hong Chengchou, who prided himself on being shrewd, could not think of any good news in Liaodong, at least good news worthy of the regent. What exactly was it?
Therefore, he listened with open ears.
Hearing Daishan ask this, Dorgon immediately laughed, and then said to him: "Do you still remember when you were on a mission to Japan and found out about cannibals in the north?"
"Yes, remember." After hearing this, Dai Shan immediately remembered this matter. When he was robbing the baby girl, news came that there was indeed such a thing, so he asked curiously, "Is it possible that this good news can be returned to the cannibals?"
Does it matter?"
When Dorgon heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "I rushed over to deal with the matter personally, only to find out that they were not cannibals at all, but pioneers of the Tsarist Russian Empire. They had red hair and blue eyes, like devils, and because of threats and threats
They are people of Sauron, so they are regarded as cannibals by the Sauron people.”
"The Tsarist Empire?" After hearing this, Daishan immediately asked in confusion, "There is such an empire in the north of us? When did this happen?"
Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there has been a common practice of constantly going north to plunder the Sauron people and replenish the military strength of the Jin Dynasty. This matter has been continued, but even if it is qualified as a good deed, it has never been heard of. In the Qing Dynasty,
In the north of the empire, there was actually a Tsarist Russian Empire.
Dorgon's words were not good news for him, but rather shocked him even more.
As soon as Dorgon heard Daishan's words, he knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, this Russian Empire is in the far west. It's just that they sent troops from the north all the way to the south. It is said that they arrived at the seaside.
Going south, we will encounter our Qing Dynasty!"
"The far west?" Daishan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that they are still in the west of the Ming Dynasty? Did they come east from the Mongolian grassland?"
Judging from the terrain, it is impossible to cross the Ming Dynasty.
Dorgon listened, nodded again, and continued to introduce Daishan: "This Tsarist Russian Empire has sharp firearms. It is said that it is a powerful empire in the far west. It comes east mainly for furs, not for fur.
We need to expand our territory.”
At this point, seeing Daishan listening carefully, he continued: "I contacted them and finally reached an agreement. We have plenty of the furs they need, and we also need their firearms. Both parties
Mutual trading is something that benefits both parties!"
After a pause, Dorgon raised his voice a little more and became a little more excited, and continued: "In addition, I told them that the Ming Dynasty was extremely prosperous. If we can unite and conquer the Ming Dynasty together, the colorful world will be over.
It belongs to the two countries. Their leader was very moved, and after asking about the specific situation of the Ming Dynasty, he said that they would return immediately to report this matter to their emperor."
"Will their emperor agree?" When Daishan heard this, he finally showed joy and asked quickly.
After hearing this, Dorgon nodded and said with a smile: "They have actually heard about the wealth of Eastern countries a long time ago. Haha, the rumors are quite outrageous. It means that the land in the country is paved with gold. If you can rob it,
, I feel like they will definitely come to snatch it!”
When Daishan heard this, he immediately recognized it. Is it possible that Dorgon followed their tone and emphasized the wealth of the Ming Dynasty?
Sure enough, as soon as the idea came to him, Dorgon expressed his gratitude to him: "In order to get their emperor to agree, I sent them a batch of gold items, which were all trophies we had obtained from the pass.
.By the way, I want to show them that although the Ming Dynasty is rich, its military strength is really not that good. We, the Qing Dynasties, have gone to the pass to rob many times. It’s just that the Ming Dynasty is too big and our population is too small, so we can’t eat it by ourselves.
."
"Okay, that's well said!" When Dai Shan heard this, he immediately had an impression in his mind, and immediately nodded and praised, "This person from the Tsarist Russian Empire came thousands of miles just for a mere fur, so now there are wealthy people from the Ming Dynasty.
If you use it as a bait, you may be able to arouse their greed. This is good, we will have one more ally in the Qing Dynasty!"
He actually didn't know that fur was hard currency in Eastern Europe and was very valuable. It was for this reason that Tsarist Russia sent colonists east to plunder furs.
Moreover, Tsarist Russia at this time was not very powerful. At least Sweden at this time was stronger than Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia was aggressive and was bullying the Polish-Lithuanian Federation with Sweden at this time, but at the same time, it was a little afraid of Sweden and did not dare to
Expanding too eastward.
Of course, because the distance was too far, just as Tsarist Russia did not understand the Qing Empire, Dorgon, Daishan and others also did not understand Tsarist Russia. Anyway, after listening to the boasts of both sides, they felt that the other was a good ally.
At this time, after hearing Daishan's words, Dorgon said excitedly: "Now it seems that we have officially formed an alliance with the Japanese country and Zheng Yiguan, and will also form an alliance with the Tsarist Empire. The situation has improved greatly. Grassland.
It’s time for all ministries to sort things out.”
The grassland tribes can be roughly divided into four groups. They are Western Mongolia, also known as Oirat Mongolia; Mobei Mongolia, which mainly consists of three tribes, as well as Eastern Mongolia and Central Mongolia.
Among them, the Great Khan of the Chahar Mongolian tribe, who was originally known as the Golden Family, was Lin Dan Khan. He was frightened by the Jianqi, so he ran west and occupied the Tumut tribe of the central Mongolian tribe.
At this time, the Tumote tribe was no longer in the era of Anda Khan. They could not defeat Lin Dan Khan and ran away.
In the eastern Mongolia, all the people surrendered to Jianlu. With the unity of the people, they all followed Jianlu.
Later, Huang Taiji personally led an army to conquer Lin Dan Khan who was still unconvinced, and frightened Lin Dan Khan so much that he fled to the west and died of illness on the way. Later, his son surrendered to the Jianqi, and his wife became one of Huang Taiji's wives.
The Tumote tribe surrendered to Jianlu, and was split into two banners, the left and right, and two commanderies;
In addition, Mobei Mongolia and Western Mongolia were mortal enemies and attacked each other, but they both sent envoys to submit to Huang Taiji's Qing Dynasty.
Nominally speaking, the entire Mongolian grassland was the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
The policy before the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to take precautions against the Mongolian tribes, split them and make peace. In addition, some Mongolians were collected and the Eight Mongolian Banners were established as a standing army. Other Mongolian tribes were relatively independent and were removed when needed.
However, at this time before, the Manchu Qing Dynasty suffered two major defeats, suffered heavy losses in strength, and was too busy to take care of itself. Naturally, it would not worry about the affairs of the various Mongolian ministries.
However, now the situation in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties has improved, at least from the overall situation and strategic point of view. It has not only formed an alliance with the Japanese country and introduced strong reinforcements, but also ambush a secret chess piece in the Ming Dynasty, which can help the Ming Dynasty at critical moments.
The Chinese army has dealt a fatal blow, and even wants to form an alliance with the Tsarist Russian Empire far in the west, waiting for the decision of the Tsarist Russian Emperor.
Under such a situation, Dorgon naturally thought of the necessity of integrating the Mongolian tribes in the grassland.
Not to mention anything else, the minimum requirement is that if the Tsarist Empire really formed an alliance with the Qing Empire and wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty from the west, then the western Mongolia would have to give way, and even the western Mongolia would have to follow the Tsarist Russian Empire to attack the Ming Dynasty.
This is something that the Qing Dynasty needs to coordinate and consider in advance.
At this time, Daishan listened and quickly asked: "How is the situation of reclaiming wasteland in the north?"
When Dorgon heard this, he immediately replied: "Not to mention, the land over there is fertile. If we continue to move Koreans there next year, we can open up more grain fields."
After a pause, he remembered that North Korea was going to be handed over to the Japanese country, and he immediately continued: "When this winter is over, as much of the grain and grass supplies in North Korea as can be moved back to Liaodong will be moved back. According to current estimates, at least
As for food and supplies, if we work hard tomorrow, we should be able to feed more people without any problem!"
Hearing this, Daishan was very happy and said: "The Ming Dynasty was prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River, and there must be a lot of food. When Zheng Yiguan sends people to trade, we can make a request to purchase food. This will be very important to the Qing Dynasty.
It will definitely be a great addition.”
Dorgon was very happy to hear this. It was definitely not easy to have enough food to rely on one's own efforts, but it would be the best way to use the stolen gold and silver to buy food from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he hurriedly
Asked: "In that case, why don't we go find that Zheng Yiguan and urge him to trade as soon as possible?"
After hearing this, Daishan shook his head and said: "Zheng Yiguan left in a hurry and did not discuss more details. But I gave him my waist card so that he could contact us!"
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he had no choice but to ask about the details of the Japanese country.
It is a pity that the Japanese country itself is not rich in terms of food and grass supplies, and many of them are hungry.
So, he turned to discuss with Daishan and others about handing over Korea to the Japanese state and how to coordinate with the Japanese state to deal with the Ming army.
In the meantime, whether it was Dorgon or Daishan, they would ask Hong Chengchou what he thought when discussing everything.
In this regard, Hong Chengchou knew everything and said everything, which showed his self-consciousness very well.
Duduo basically said nothing about these matters. He only asked Hong Chengchou suddenly when he was going out, asking about his life-long events.
The time soon came to the eighteenth year of Chongzhen. For some reason, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be particularly happy about this new year. The New Year's rewards in the palace were much more than before.
For most people, they thought this was because the emperor was rich, so he was generous. Only Liu Weichao knew that this was because in the original history, there was no eighteenth year of Chongzhen, but now, there is!
In the first month of the first month, when Emperor Chongzhen was happy, Li Ruolian, the commander of the Imperial Guard, finally rushed back to the capital.
