Everyone in Inner Khalkha only needs front-end support, while the Yehe tribe has to go into battle with real swords and guns to fight for their lives. This is too unfair.
Fortunately, Bushiyamala still fell in love with him, this guy is simply a wolf-hearted man!
Seeing that Delgler was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, his chest was rising and falling sharply, his fists were clenched, and he almost came up to beat himself. However, Feng Ziying said slowly and unhurriedly, "The guests are here, why don't you pour a cup of tea? Do as the Romans do, women." Don’t real people even understand these rules?”
Delgler was even more angry, but he also knew that this was not the time to get angry. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand, making him lean down and pour tea. He was also very angry at Feng Ziying's arrogance and domineering. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Feng, you If I don't care about this, I will kill you here..."
"Okay, Delgrad, what's the benefit of killing me? How much more money and food will the imperial court give you, or will the princes in the imperial court look at you Haixi Jurchens in a different light? Ridiculous!" Feng Ziying said contemptuously: "I ask myself if it is the imperial court. I have treated you the Haixi Jurchens the most kindly and generously, so much so that the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household began to wonder if we had some secret deal."
Delgrad was hateful and angry, but he had to admit that what the other party said was true.
"If you always stare at the Khalkha people and compare them with jealousy, then you have to use your fingers to count how many people are there in the remnants of your Yehe tribe and the Jawula tribe?" Feng Ziying's tone became more and more distant, "People. The five tribes of the Inner Khalkhas now number three to four hundred thousand, and they are now going all out to compete with the Jianzhou Jurchens for the Barbarian Jurchens. If he grabs one more Jurchen from the Savage Jurchens, it means that Jianzhou Jurchens will get one less Jurchen. This increase The reduction is beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, they also recruit people from the Outer Khalkha people, which can also weaken the allies of the Chahar people. Can you compare?"
Delgler was speechless.
"I told you a long time ago that I also asked someone to bring a message to your father and Buyangu, asking you to win over the Horqin tribe, or to destroy the marriage between Horqin and the Jianzhou Jurchens. Have you done it?" Feng Ziying kicked out. With one boot and one foot on the edge of the kang, he said: "I suggest to Buyangu that you and Buyangu both marry the daughters of the bannermen of the Horqin tribe, such as the daughter of Zui Ming'an and Hong Guoer. Daughter, have you done this?”
Delgrad was speechless.
"Didn't you do it? That's fine. Ming'an's daughter, Borzigit, married Nurhaci. Why didn't you attack and snatch her back when you were sending her off? Why, when did your Yehe tribe become so polite to the enemy? Are you polite?" Feng Ziying asked again without politeness.
"Master Feng, if we attack the bride-to-be, the Horqin people will definitely fall out with us, and the Jianzhou Jurchens will not give up, and will definitely start a war..." Delgrad was furious, "How will we respond then?"
"Haha, fall out and start a war?" Feng Ziying squinted her eyes and said word for word: "Do you think your Ye He tribe will let you go if you bow your head and grovel to Nurhachi? Horqin and you fall out, they Can you destroy your Ye He tribe?"
Delgler gritted his teeth and could not answer.
"Let me tell you, Delgrad, the reason why Nurhachi has never been able to attack your Ye He tribe is not because he doesn't want to, but because he knows that Liaodong Town is nearby and will not tolerate this kind of thing happening. He knows it in his heart. , the time is not yet ripe; even if the Horqin people fall out with your Yehe tribe, so what? Do they dare to launch a war against your Yehe tribe? Not to mention the Inner Khalkha people who are watching eagerly from the side, the Chahar people have also already We can’t bear to see them flirting with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and we don’t want to see them socializing with the Jianzhou Jurchens. Are they not afraid that the Inner Khalkha and Chahar people will take the opportunity to take advantage of them?”
Feng Ziying analyzed it very rationally and calmly: "But if Zhou Dynasty is restrained due to internal rebellion and has too much energy to estimate the time in Liaodong, then the situation will change. Who do you think the Jianzhou Jurchens will attack first?" ?The reason why I have made good friends or even bribed the Inner Khalkha people is not only for Liaodong Town, but also for your Haixi Jurchens. Of course, I also admit that once your Haixi Jurchens are annexed by Jianzhou Jurchens, The threat to us, Dazhou, will be greater, this is a win-win situation, our interests are integrated, do you understand?"
Delgrad was silent.
Feng Ziying unabashedly clarified the relationship between the Dazhou, Hercynian Jurchens, Inner Khalkhas, and the Jianzhou Jurchens, Chahar people, and Horqin tribe, which made him realize that Feng Ziying was not targeting Ye He. Instead, we position our interests from a more objective standpoint.
The Yehe tribe, or the Haixi Jurchens, cannot be of any use to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so no matter how close Feng Ziying is to the Yehe tribe, her position and tendency cannot change much. This completely depends on the Yehe tribe's own strength and its What can it bring to Dazhou?
"The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is so difficult, do we even need our Haixi Jurchens to send troops to help?" After a long time, Delgrad said slowly.
"The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed very difficult, but in terms of military strength, it does not lack the men and horses of the Ye He tribe. How many men and horses can your Ye He tribe bring out? Five thousand, ten thousand, or twenty thousand? I won't hide it from you. He said that my father is leading the Northwest Army to this side, with 120,000 troops. This does not include the armies of Ji Town and Shanxi Town, so there is really no shortage of people like Ye He." Feng Ziying said nonchalantly: "This is A gesture is also an opportunity to prove the value of your Yehe tribe. If you want the court to support your Yehe tribe, you have to prove your strength, right? The Inner Khalkha people proved their own strength with the battle of Santun Camp last year. This year, they have continued to prove their efforts by fighting for the wild Jurchens and wooing the Outer Khalkha people. Of course Dazhou is willing to support it, but what about your Yehe tribe?"
Delgrad finally moved: "The problem is that the Jiangnan rebellion has interrupted water transportation. Isn't it very difficult for the court?"
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Delgrad, you can go and see Yuguan Port. You can also go and see Dagu Port outside Tianjin Wei. You can see the docks and warehouses there and the ships coming and going." Although the interruption of water transportation has an impact on the imperial court, the imperial court can still withstand it." Feng Ziying said nonchalantly, "With Shandong taken back, almost half of the water transportation can be restored. You should know that all the elites of our Zhou army are in the frontier army, right? The rebels in the south are a bit The most powerful ones are the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army currently entrenched in Shandong. As long as the rebels in Shandong are eliminated, Jiangnan can be conquered in one fell swoop."
Feng Ziying's confident posture made Delgler gradually admit that what the other party said was true.
Everyone knows that all the elites of the Zhou army are in Jiubian. The combat effectiveness and training level of the inland guards cannot be compared with the frontier army. The military power relied on by the rebellion in the south is the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army, but they are different from the other seven towns in Jiubian.
In comparison, that seems insignificant.
Even if the main military strength of the two towns in Ji Town in Liaodong has to deal with the Jurchens and Chahar people in Jianzhou, Delgrad believes that the four northwest towns plus Shanxi and part of Datong Town are enough to wipe out these rebels.
"That's all I've said. As for the decision, Delgrad, it's up to you to make it." Feng Ziying clapped her hands and stood up, "Originally, I wanted to find someone to bring a letter back to your Ye He tribe. You
It's best if you come. You can bring my words to your father and Buyangu intact. I believe that if you are a wise leader, you should understand that time waits for no one and the opportunity will never come again."
He slapped his butt and left in a cool manner. Delgler sent Feng Ziying to the door. He was still thinking, but Feng Ziying believed that the other party would make a rational decision.
If we can recruit some troops from Ye He's tribe, they will be of great help to the northern army formed from Ji Town and Shanxi Town.
According to the current plan of the imperial court, the Northwest Army will act as the main force of the West Route Army, while the North Route Army will be composed of the first part of Ji Zhen and the first part of Shanxi Town, with a strength of about 60,000. If Ye He’s troops can reinforce 10,000 to 20,000
The cavalry army will undoubtedly significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the Northern Route Army, especially the mobile cavalry group, which is quite effective in Shandong.
After leaving Delgrad, Feng Ziying went directly to the Ministry of War. He needed to inform the Ministry of War of this unexpected gain.
A verbal promise, and material compensation after the fact, can win a boost for the Northern Route Army, which is a good deal.
Zhang Huaichang really welcomed such a result, and repeatedly expressed that he could provide greater support to the Haixi Jurchens, as long as they could dispatch more troops to assist the court in suppressing the rebellion.
Feng Ziying felt that this was a bit like the Tang Dynasty court borrowing troops to return to Hehe to help quell the "Ding'an Rebellion". However, borrowing troops to return to Hehe was a last resort. Ye He's tribe was much weaker and had limited troops, so they could only
Using it as an auxiliary army will not affect the entire army strategy. This point still needs to be distinguished.
If we all rely on borrowing troops from outside to win the war, then the situation will be really dangerous.
Feng Ziying also reminded Zhang Huaichang that there would be a price to pay for borrowing Ye He's cavalry, and he hoped that the court would be fully prepared in terms of money, food and supplies, so as not to end up being short of money and unable to provide it, which would be embarrassing.
He had boasted enough in front of Delgrad before, but it is hard to say whether he will be able to show it after retaking Shandong next year.
But by that time, it was already like this, and it was no longer up to Ye Hebe. Only by continuing to fight and winning completely could we get rewards. Otherwise, once the court really lost, everything would be in vain. Ye Hebe would definitely become another
The new dynasty will hold the person accountable.
Feng Ziying firmly believes that that kind of situation will not happen. As long as he is here, it will never reach that point. He has this confidence.
