Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 535 Jungar Comes to Envoy

The majestic and ancient city wall of Xi'an amazed the envoys from Zhungeer.

"This is the prosperous Central Plains, and only our oasis in Turpan can compare with it. But in terms of the large population and the prosperity of the city, it is far behind." Zhungeer envoy wearing a thick leather robe The leader said to the messengers on the left and right.

"Yes, the Central Plains has a large population. When we came here from Jiayuguan, we saw more people than our entire Moxi Mongolian tribe. This is a relatively marginal place in the Central Plains. If we enter the hinterland, the population will probably be even greater. many."

"This is the area that even the Golden Family couldn't fully rule at their peak, and it is also the last hope of our Zhungeer."

"Do you think the Central Plains will send troops to rescue us? In the Ming Dynasty, our Moxi Weilat was regarded as one of the major problems, and the relationship between the two sides has never been very good. Even if the Kyushu Army replaced the Ming Dynasty, it was only their internal power. The replacement of the people is not friendly to us."

The envoys of several Zhungeer tribes talked a lot. At the gate of Xi'an City, several officials of Xi'an City received them with small officials and a group of soldiers. Down.

"Guests from afar, welcome to the city of Xi'an. We have received the news from the moment you stepped into Jiayu Pass, and we have been waiting for you here." The Chief Civil Affairs Officer of Shaanxi said to them with a smile.

"Thanks to the attention of the Central Plains Heaven, I am very grateful." The Mongolian envoy was flattered.

They still don't know that the person in front of them is the highest chief executive of the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi Province, and he is still a feudal official who can sit on the same level as the leaders of their Zhungeer tribe. Even the entire population of the Zhungeer tribe combined does not have this person. The civil affairs officer manages a large population.Of course, the leaders of the Zhungeer tribe have more freedom of power, and the civil affairs officials are still restricted by other judicial, military and other departments.

The yamen of the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi is located in Xi'an City, and the headquarters of the Seventh Corps is also in Xi'an City.

"It's just snowed heavily, and it's freezing outside. Follow me to the Yamen to discuss matters." The Shaanxi Civil Affairs Officer put on a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you very much." The envoys of the Zhungeer Tribe saw that the officials of the Kyushu Army were so polite, it was hard to turn down their hospitality, and they all thanked the civil affairs officials in unison.

On weekdays, hundreds of officials come and go in and out of the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi to discuss and implement reforms.In addition to the local civil affairs officials, there are also political propaganda envoys sent from the capital. The innovations involved cover the entire Shaanxi, and they are very busy every day.

But today, in order to discuss the affairs of the Zhungeer tribe, the chief secretary's yamen sent additional guards, and soldiers from the military - the Seventh Corps were stationed there.This made the small officials in the chief secretary's office and the common people living near the chief secretary's office feel that something important was going on.

Outside the yamen, a group of soldiers were standing guard with muskets on their backs. When several Zhungeer envoys passed by, they saw that the muskets carried by the soldiers were different from the muskets they used in Zhungeer, and they looked more sophisticated. Fiery eyes.The Zhungeer tribe was originally a traditional nomadic people. Later, it was first influenced by the firearms of the early Ming Dynasty. Later, the firearm technology of the Western Tsarist Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire was also spread. The Zhungeer tribe tasted the sweetness of firearms. more dependent.They took the captive Cossacks, Russians, Swedes, and Ottoman blacksmiths and ordnance officers who were good at making firearms as slaves, and urged them to make firearms for the Jungar tribe.Now the Zhungeer tribe is also a powerful tribe with thousands of matchlock guns and flintlock guns.It was because of their powerful Musketeers and Dragoons that they were able to become the most powerful tribe in the Western Regions, and even the Kazakh tribe had to be hanged and beaten.

Therefore, the Zhungeer envoy knew muskets very well. When he saw that the rifles equipped by the soldiers of the Seventh Corps seemed to be more advanced than the muskets they used, he couldn't help casting envious eyes.

"Where did you learn the manufacturing technology for the muskets you use? They are simply perfect works of art. If possible, can you give us a few of them as precious gifts for our leaders." The Zhungeer envoy had a cheeky face I asked the Shaanxi civil affairs official.

"This is the weapon of our army. Although I am a civil affairs officer, I have no power to make decisions." The Shaanxi civil affairs officer said.

"Doesn't the civil affairs officer even have the right to gift a few muskets to guests from afar?" An envoy asked puzzledly.

"Haha, we are different from the nobles in your tribe who can cover the sky with one hand. We are all restrained here. As long as things are not within our authority, we have no right to intervene, even small things." The Shaanxi Civil Affairs Officer said.

"Oh?" Several Zhungeer envoys nodded thoughtfully.

In the yamen, the main officials and military officers of the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi and the Seventh Corps gathered.Not only the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi and the Seventh Corps, but also officers at the guest battalion level from Xiangyang, Chengdu, Shanxi and other places are also here.The officer of the Chief Secretary sits on the left, and the officer of the Seventh Corps sits on the right.

Several Zhungeer envoys almost peed their pants in fright when they saw this situation.The civil servants are fine, but the military officials are all armed with swords and guns, which is quite a taste of a grand banquet.

"Master Civil Affairs Officer, why are there so many adults waiting for us in the yamen? We have just entered Jiayu Guandong, it seems that you have already known it in advance?" asked the envoy leader.

"Before the storm comes, there will be frightened birds circling in the air in a panic. Before the earth dragon descends, the well water will shake unusually. Our Kyushu Army has sensed the turmoil in the Western Regions in advance and is actively preparing for it." Shaanxi said the civil officer.

"If this is the case, then you must all know about the catastrophe that our Zhungeer tribe has encountered, and we can save a lot of talking. I don't know what your country thinks?" the Zhungeer envoy asked with concern.

"To tell you the truth, all of us got together to decide whether to support the Zhungeer tribe to drive away the hateful invaders, or to actively defend Jiayuguan with troops. Because for us, "It's really hard choice.Supporting your Zhungeer tribe is an active defensive measure, but it will require a lot of manpower and material resources, and you may face the danger of defeat.If they retreated to Jiayu Pass, although it would be a little negative, but with the natural terrain advantages of Jiayu Pass and the closer supply line, it could save millions of military pay. " Xu Shi, the commander of the Seventh Corps, stood up and said, his words were full of embarrassment.

"Masters of the suzerain country, I have something to say, please listen to me!" Envoy Zhungeer heard the tone of the Kyushu Army, it seemed that they were inclined to retreat to Jiayu Pass, and couldn't help being very anxious. At this time, he could only use his smooth tongue to persuade them. Heavenly bosses!
