Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 645
"Does the servant of the past dare to devour the Lord?"

Abu Nai said in a deep voice, breaking the noise.

Among the three major Mongolian tribes, Monan Mongolian, headed by the Chahar tribe, is the direct descendant of Emperor Yuan Shun and Genghis Khan.

Mobei Mongolia is dominated by Genghis Khan's vassal tribes, such as Tataer, Onjira, Mierqi, Wuyila, Kelie, Naiman, and Wanggu. They are either hostile tribes or vassals, so have always been discriminated against.

As for Moxi Mongolia, descendants of Wala, bah!
For the Chahar tribe, which claims to be a golden family, it is acceptable for the Khalkha and Mongolian tribes in Mobei to watch the show, but it is absolutely difficult to accept their going south.

"The tribes of Khalkha have forgotten the glory of Mongolia!"

"Kill these traitors—"

The simple and long-term concept makes many people angry and temporarily forgets the pressure.

Jin Zeming sighed from the side, hoping to last for a while longer!

In his view, the bloodiness of the Mongols had already been castrated by the Qing Dynasty after Lin Dan Khan died, and even if there were still some remnants, it would not last long.

But this thing is like a 70 years old man, a drop counts as a drop.

"The establishment of slavery is approaching, and Daming has countermeasures."

Abu Nai looked at Jin Zeming, with a threatening face on his mature face: "Just relying on some gunpowder is not enough. The Khalkha Mongolian tribes plus the Manchus are enough to overthrow the grassland."

Jin Zeming smiled slightly, and said: "In addition to allowing the Chahar Department to exchange for gunpowder, I argued with the court and added five hundred more matchlock guns."

"In addition, as long as your department still has money, cattle and sheep, armor, knives and guns, they can be exchanged in large quantities."

The nobles were overjoyed, this could strengthen the strength of the Chahar Department.

And if it was in the Lin Dan Khan period, how could the mere trade be happy, and it would not move at all without rewarding silver.

The big deal is to give up the position, and the tribe migrates westward.

However, after several years of indoctrination, the trade has become meat and bone, and the Mongolian nobles can't stop. A large number of grassland specialties such as wool, sheepskin, cowhide, beef tendon, and horns are exported in exchange for silk, food, and weapons.

If you leave, these will be gone.

Moreover, the Yinshan Hetao area was occupied by the Ming court, and they had no place to migrate, so they could only defend on the spot.

Seeing the smiling nobles wearing thick cotton robes, Abu Nai felt a little uncomfortable.

In the huge grassland, there is no place for the Chahar tribe to move at this time. They are like wooden stakes, staring at this place, and have to carry the Qing army to their death.

"Pass down our military order, the headquarters will dispatch one soldier to each tent, and prepare their own horses and weapons, and the rest of the departments must try their best to gather young and strong men to join us here."

The military order of Chahar Khan spread throughout the grassland, and for a while the entire Chahar region entered a wave of war.

Man Qing, who had watched Hal for a long time, learned that the news was exposed, so he was naturally unambiguous, and the soldiers and horses moved quickly.

In Shengjing, Dorgon, instead of Emperor Shunzhi, conferred the title of General Azige Douxi, and appointed Luck Dehun, Nikan, and Aobai as lieutenants to lead an army of [-] from the Eight Banners to attack the traitor Abu Nai.

The [-]-strong army gathered [-] soldiers and horses from Khalkha Mongolia and marched towards the Chahar tribe.

"Prince Regent, the army has just formed, and it is easy to go south to the grassland, the consequences are unpredictable!"

Hong Chengchou looked at the leaving army and was puzzled.

"The Chahar Department has already lost its tail."

Dorgon's face was ugly: "In the past few years, he has been indulged, and the Chahar Department is getting bigger and bigger. If he is not suppressed, the Horqin Department will be in chaos."

"Manchu and Mongolian are one, and the Mongolian tribes must not be allowed to die in chaos."

As he said that, Fan Wencheng smiled lightly and said, "This battle is firstly to frighten the Chahar tribe, and secondly, it is to pull the Khalkha tribe into the water and let them fight the Chahar tribe."

Ning Wanwo, who has a weak sense of existence, laughed in a low voice: "Abu Nai is not a problem, but I am afraid that it will be used by others, and our energy will be involved, and it will be used by the Khalkha tribes."

Hong Chengchou glanced at the silent Dorgon, seeing the other people talking so much, he immediately became interested, and he began to integrate into the core decision-making level of the Qing Dynasty.

This is a gratifying step, but also a difficult one.

In his heart, he had mixed feelings.

The group slowly returned to the palace. Fan Wencheng, as the chief assistant of the cabinet (revised in the past two years), bowed and said:
"In the past two years, the number of clans such as Sauron and the Eight Banners of Korea have been incorporated, and the number of people has increased by nearly 200,000. The number of people in the imperial court has exceeded 250 million."

As Fan Wencheng spoke, his tone was full of difficulty.

When Huang Taiji first came to the Khan throne, due to Nurhachi's broken killing order, there was a serious shortage of Dingkou, and the entire Houjin had only a million people.

And over the years, they have repeatedly entered the pass to rob people, the number of which has reached millions, and most of them are coated slaves.

"In the past few years, the weather has been stable, and floods and snowstorms have been less. In autumn, the veterans went to count the grain depots. There are still a million stones left in the prefectures and counties, as well as the household warehouses in Shengjing, barely enough to meet the imperial court's half-year needs. "

"I have entered the customs many times over the years, and the price of silver is so cheap that it is expensive..."

"After the Ming Dynasty retreated, it only did business with the Chahar Ministry. After the trade was blocked, cotton cloth and porcelain on the market were scarce. The daily needs of the people gradually became insufficient, and the military also gradually became insufficient."

Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng said bluntly: "There is not much cotton, so there is no way to produce cotton armor. Gunpowder is even more scarce, and the court is not enough. If the Ming army enters the west of Liaoning in the future, the artillery at the top of the city can only be used for other purposes." .”

"The only thing that is considered rich is ironware."

Food is sufficient, ironware is abundant, and everything else is in short supply, especially gunpowder, which is severely lacking.

Hearing this, an idiom immediately appeared in Hong Chengchou's mind: internal and external difficulties.

The climate in Liaodong is always inferior to that of the Central Plains. The biggest output is only fur and wood. The lack of inland trade makes people's livelihood poor.

This is the result of North Korea's delivery for many days.

After returning to Guannei, it is really different from the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "The imperial court is quite different now, do you have insight?"

"What the veteran sees, what is lacking are Shanxi merchants."

"That's right." Dorgon praised: "Although they all came to Liaodong, they are far from being useful in the pass."

"Liaodong, it's really too small."

After seeing the splendor and vastness of the Central Plains, the vast land in the past is now much smaller.

The spices of the nobles are gone, there is no silk, and there is also a lack of exquisite porcelain. It is difficult for the nobles of the Eight Banners to adapt.

"Now, we can only find another Shanxi merchant."

Hong Chengchou thought about it, his bright eyes narrowed, and after a long time, he said: "Although the Eight Ways of Korea are small, they have everything they 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 fortify everywhere, right?"

"The regent can let these Shanxi merchants go south to North Korea and pretend to be Ming merchants to do business."

"Oh?"
