The Han culture is spreading strongly in Southeast Asia

Chapter 655: You, the Emperor, are a bit too gentle
In the Old Summer Palace in Shuntian Prefecture, Beijing, Mo Zibu took a look at the report that his son Asen had sent back urgently from Lanzhou, eight hundred miles away.

Of course, the reports from the escorting Jinyiwei Palace Master of Ceremonies and the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Division Gansu Investigator arrived a day earlier than Asen.

So Mo Zibu is now very clear that the Huang Han group was created prematurely by him using nationalism and the chaos in the northwest.

However, compared to Asen who was a little worried, Mo Zibu felt that this emperor from the northwest was a little too gentle.

Their proposal was to migrate the Han people in northern Shaanxi and northern Shanxi to the Zunghar tribe on a large scale, and of course, some Chahar and Tumed Mongols who were almost the same as the Han people would be brought along.

Then the Mongols from the Dzungar tribe, mainly the Torghut tribe, were sent to pacify the Hui tribe.

As for the Kazakhs in the Land of the Seven Rivers who often crossed the border and had not yet completely joined the Islamic faith, they were restrained and used as vassal soldiers, and were sent to serve as second-class masters in the territory of the Bujibeks.

As for the remaining Hui people, some of the most restless ones were moved to the middle of the river, and the rest, after removing the princes and nobles, were dispersed and resettled locally.
Later, a situation arose in which the Han people were in power, the Kazakhs and Hui people served as second-class masters, and the Bujibeks served as serfs.

This is too outrageous. How can the emperor be so gentle?

Looking back to the future, those imperial Han people wanted to massacre Europe and Japan, feed Tokyo with fried eggs, support the Indians and scalp the bald eagles, sell the white people of Australia to South Africa as serfs to clear out the land for their own people, pack up the Hui people and send them to Türkiye, and send the Annan monkeys to Papua New Guinea to eat bananas.

There are even some people with extremely wild imaginations who, while there is no fraud in northern Myanmar, want to clear out the disciples in the northwest and bring the Han people in northern Myanmar back to settle down in the northwest.

Compared with these Huang Han, the Huang Han in the northwest today are still too moderate, and are not at all what extreme nationalism should be like.

No, this can't be done. Mo Zibu stood up and thought about it. He had spent a lot of money, advanced Dayu's funds for the next ten years, and even rejected a number of naval shipbuilding plans. He had come up with a three-step plan to completely solve the disciple problem, and he couldn't get stuck at the first step.

If we continue like this, won't it become the Western Liao of Dashilinya? If we only want to build a Western Liao, then why do we spend so much money and carefully train so many people?

"Where is Dong Jinfeng?" Mo Zibu thought for a while and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Dong Dangkou was impeached by the censor because his subordinates privately massacred the foreigners in Jugang and captured Bugis women and sold them to Jiaqing Prefecture to be slaves to the foreigners. He is currently suspended from his post and studying in the Imperial College awaiting punishment." The Hanlin scholar of the civil service department beside him immediately replied.

This... this is what a real emperor looks like.

But then Mo Zibu felt a headache. An army that used overly extreme means was not effective in this regard. And this was not just the case with the Dayu Dynasty. Both the Han and Tang Dynasties had proven this.

That is, although some of them know the limits, most of them are addicted to killing. They want military merit too much, or are fascinated by money, or by the feeling of having the power to decide the life and death of others. They are very likely to escalate things under impulse.

This was the case with the Aceh rebellion this time. Originally, it was sufficient to just wipe out Aceh, but after most of the battles were over, small-scale killings still could not be stopped.

Many of the garrison troops who arrived late were jealous of the great achievements of the Shenwei Army of the Beijing Camp, who were making a lot of money from military merits and rewards, so they kept provoking trouble, hoping to fight another battle.

Dong Jinfeng failed to suppress the situation immediately, which resulted in troubles in Palembang and Jambi. The army forced some Sumatran tribes that had already been defeated and could have been dealt with slowly to rebel again.

In fact, after the end of the Battle of Aceh, a very fierce battle to quell the rebellion broke out in Palembang Prefecture.

Including the Battle of Aceh, the Dayu Dynasty dragged on fighting on the island of Sumatra for almost four years, spending more than 14 million silver dollars before resolving the matter.

This gave the civil officials, who had always hated the power of the army and nobles, an excuse to severely punish the entire Beijing army.

Dong Jinfeng was stripped of his military post, and the Nanyang Prime Minister, Cheng Guogong Zheng Miao, was fined five years of dukedom pension and his right to ride in the Forbidden Palace was revoked.

The remaining junior officers who were exiled to the Great Spice Islands (Sulawesi Island) and New Guinea Island numbered more than 200, and a large number of officers had their ranks demoted and their retirement bonuses deducted for three to five years.

Mo Zibu pinched his chin and thought about it. The Huang Han he had given birth to now obviously had two pillars.

One is the vassal army system under the control of the Prince of Ningxia and headed by his nephew Li Xingtai.

One is the imperial army system headed by Dong Jinfeng, which is composed mainly of Han people from the northwest who have been gathering together in battles over the years, especially those whose families were killed after the chaos in the northwest and who are therefore extremely hostile to the disciples.

There are also differences between these two Huang Han systems. Li Xingtai and others belong to the relatively classical Huang Han system. They advocate going westward to restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties and restore their influence in Hezhong during the Han and Tang dynasties.

The only difference may be that they understood that with the support of the Dayu court, they already had a generation gap in weapons. Unlike the Han and Tang dynasties, they were no longer away from the court's support when they went to Hezhong, and farming was a dangerous thing. Instead, they could completely rely on the court's support to establish a vassal state in Hezhong.

Dong Jinfeng and his group inherited the theory of great revenge in the Spring and Autumn Period and adopted the most popular murderous colonization model in the world today. They are simpler.

Of course, this simplicity does not mean that their minds are simple, but that the methods they use to deal with the indigenous people in the river, mainly the Bukit Bek people, are simpler.

It was a pure physics-based plan to kill all the men, take away the women, and steal all the gold and silver. They would not even leave any land to the Bukit Bek people in the river, even if it meant leaving it idle. They would physically exterminate them.

"Which minister is on duty at Wenhua Palace today?"

Mo Zibu decided to use Dong Jinfeng because Li Xingtai's school was too classical and slow, and there was not enough time for them to manage it slowly.

Looking at the map, St. Petersburg is only 1,800 kilometers away from the Aral Sea. If counted from Crimea or even the Volga River basin, it is even closer.

Even from Lanzhou to the Aral Sea, Dayu is about 4,500 kilometers away. Considering that Lanzhou is not enough to serve as a logistics support center, the supply distance will be even longer.

Every kilometer further away will offset a large amount of Dayu's national strength. When it reaches the vicinity of the Aral Sea, Dayu may not be more powerful than the Russian Empire.

Therefore, in order to avoid getting into a quagmire and messy war with the Russians, which they are best at, we must create a fait accompli before the end of the Sixth Russo-Turkish War and then negotiate with the Russians.

Therefore, Dong Jinfeng had to be released so that they could help Li Xingtai speed up the process.

"Your Majesty, today it is the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Duke Zheng, who is on duty at Wenyuan Pavilion."

Now, the outer court of Dayu has also undergone great changes. Since the emperor has his own inner court administration, he does not rely entirely on eunuchs.

The power of the outer court was divided up a bit, and at the same time the affairs became more complicated, so it was impossible to continue to implement the Ming Dynasty's system of red robes and tickets. Instead, it was very similar to the late Qing Dynasty.

The chief minister was now legitimately called the prime minister, and the other four original ministers were each in charge of a part of the powerful department, and together with the Privy Councilors of the Privy Council, which was reformed from the Five Military Commanderies, formed the cabinet.

A real cabinet was formed consisting of the prime minister, the privy councilor, and four grand secretaries.

For non-major affairs of the court, it was only necessary to send a cabinet minister to report to Mo Zibu every three days, and the whole court would report to Mo Zibu on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

This is also the reason why the outer court remained quite stable even though Mo Zibu used the inner court to take away some power, strengthened the army and navy, and acquiesced in the continuous development of the Republican Parliament.

Because the civil servants truly obtained the power to govern the country, most matters did not even need to be approved by the emperor. The head of the civil servants in the Dayu Dynasty was the real prime minister.

The Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Zheng Gong, was Zheng Jinshui, who was in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, and Mo Zibu's half-son.

"Quick, let him come to the imperial study." Mo Zibu was overjoyed and immediately asked the eunuch to call Zheng Jinshui over.

After a while, Zheng Jinshui pondered for a moment and said, "There are two difficulties in using Dong Jinfeng.

Prime Minister Luo would not give in easily, because military generals like Dong Jinfeng were the biggest uncontrollable factor for the civil officials.

Liu Wenhua (Second Assistant Minister of Wenhua Palace) has no friendship with Dong Jinfeng and will not speak for him. If Your Majesty wants to re-employ Dong Jinfeng, he will probably have to help the Prime Minister.

As for the Privy Council, two years ago, when Dong Jinfeng was leaving to quell the Aceh Rebellion, he got drunk and insulted Privy Councilor Wu Wenyong, calling him a "Cochinese monkey," over a military deployment issue. This angered Privy Councilor Wu Wenyong so much that he drew his knife and tried to kill Dong Jinfeng, but I was the one who stopped him.

Damn you!

Mo Zibu slapped his forehead speechlessly. Dong Jinfeng was quite a troublemaker.

Wu Wenyong is already very sensitive to this kind of talk because of his background, and you even called him a Cochin monkey. This is a huge grudge.

But what else could Dong Jinfeng do? So, Mo Zibu summoned Pan Youdu, the president of the Fuxing Company, and asked him to negotiate with major merchants from Jiangnan, eastern Fujian, southern Fujian, Chaoshan, and Cantonese regions to temporarily suspend the Republican Parliament in exchange for Prime Minister Luo Fangbai's support for Dong Jinfeng's comeback.

Then he asked his favorite concubine, Concubine An Wu, to write a letter to the Privy Councilor Wu Wenyong in Nanjing to persuade him.

Concubine An Wu was the new Minister of Rites and the daughter of Wu Shiren, a great scholar from Annan. She and Wu Wenyong's second wife were cousins.

It would be most appropriate for her to write a letter to persuade him. No matter how angry Wu Wenyong was, he still had to give face to the emperor and his wife's sister, Concubine An.

Finally, Mo Zibu ordered someone to summon Dong Jinfeng, who was detained in the Imperial College, and scolded him severely.

"From now on, keep your mouth shut and control your soldiers. Don't let them become complete idiots who only know how to kill. I can protect you once, twice, but I can't protect you forever!"

Mo Zibu still had some feelings for Dong Jinfeng. He still remembered the scene when he was heading north along the Grand Canal and Dong Jinfeng and Yang Kaijia each led hundreds of Huaishang warriors to ride horses to greet him.

That was the first time that Mo Zibu, the emperor who was born in the extreme south, was bowed down to by a man from the north.

Dong Jinfeng also knew that she had made a mistake and burst into tears. Mo Zibu actually wanted to scold her, but he was afraid that scolding her too harshly would scare the guy and he would not dare to move around in the river, so he had to hold back.

. . . .

Mobei, Segeleng River.

This river is located south of Lake Baikal and has always been a place where nomadic peoples have been entrenched in Chinese history.

Whenever they were unable to defeat the Central Plains dynasty or suffered heavy losses, they would return here to lick their wounds.

However, more than a hundred years ago, this place became the territory of the Russian Empire, and the local Buryats and other indigenous people became slaves of the Russian Empire.

This is also an important reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to firmly control the northern desert, because the Russians blocked the Mongols' retreat. Compared with being a slave to the Russians, it is much more comfortable to be a dog for the Qing Dynasty.

However, in this time and space, when Dayu arrived, the Mongols were surprised to find that Dayu was better than the Qing Dynasty. Although in fact they were still treated as dogs, this dog could already be described as an eagle dog.

Because Dayu completely released the Mongols from their constraints.

Today, Dayu has formed a double set on the grassland.

In terms of military, all Mongolian kings from Shunyi to Zhongshun marquises had to send troops to guard the palace. The 20,000 most capable Mongolians were all by the emperor's side.

Politically, the emperor used his imperial cavalry to control the southern part of the desert, and then used 30,000 Han and Mongolian dragoons in the southern part of the desert to control the northern part of the desert. Even the princes and nobles in the northern part of the desert basically came from the southern part of the desert.

With these two aspects, and the fact that Dayu could indeed bring benefits to the Mongols, it is not difficult to understand why the people in the north and south of the desert were so submissive.

Of course, the imperial court was not afraid of these Mongols rebelling, because the cavalry in the Han area was much stronger than that in the grasslands.

There are more than a dozen types of mounted carbines and more than a dozen types of three-pound cannons that can be pulled around by horses. Dayu can even dispatch more than 50,000 dragoons to the grasslands to carry out line-up shootings.

With such martial virtue, which blind tribe would dare to oppose the court?

April 1790, 4, was the second day of the third month in the 15th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty.

The ice and snow in the north had just begun to melt, and the siege of Irkutsk began again.

The first battle to take place was the battle to eliminate the Buryats around Irkutsk.

These people, who should belong to the Mongols, have come to consider themselves part of the Russian Empire after being ruled by the Russians for more than a hundred years.

Well, actually they had no choice but to think so, because the Mongols in the south and north of the desert looked down on them and regarded them as traitors and slaves.

Every emperor who came from the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert to recruit cavalry had the greatest wish to capture a few Buryat men and women to take back as his herdsmen.

They simply did not allow the Buryats to surrender, because that would prevent them from capturing slaves. Even the Barhu people, who were of the same ethnic group as the Buryats in the far north, thought so.

General Yang Kaijia of Uliastai wrapped himself in his cotton jacket. He felt a little cold even after wearing three layers. As soon as he walked out of the tent with burning charcoal, he was surrounded by a biting cold.

He is from Shouzhou, Anhui Province. Strictly speaking, he can be considered a southerner. Therefore, although he can accept the coldness of the Far North, it is difficult for him to adapt.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. The six hundred cavalrymen under his command, King Kusugul Shunzhi, had returned. The prince of King Kusugul Shunzhi was a typical Mongolian man with a round face. His name was even more typical, Arsalan.

Among the Mongols, there are at least eight hundred people with this name.

"General, the Khuvsgul Cavalry Battalion has returned victorious. The Buryat population west of the Ergou River has been purged."

Although Arsalan is the prince, he still has to kneel down obediently in front of Yang Kaijia.

Not to mention him, even if his father, King Kusugul Shunzhi, came, despite his title of king, he would have to behave properly in front of Yang Kaijia.

Yang Kaijia looked into the distance and saw at least a thousand Buryats with ropes around their necks and wrists, being led back like animals.

In the biting cold wind, they were only wearing a few pieces of animal skin clothing, their skin exposed all over, red from the cold wind. They were covered in mud, their faces were pitch black, and it was difficult to tell them apart, male or female, young or old.

Yang Kaijia walked over with a horsewhip in his hand and took a closer look at the prisoners. He found that most of them were young people. Only then did a smile appear on his face.

There are not many Buryats, or rather, population is a scarce resource around Lake Baikal.

The capture of thousands of young people indicates that a large ethnic group, at least one thousand households, has been basically wiped out, and the number of Buryats is probably no more than ten thousand households.

Yang Kaijia walked over and saw a short, stocky, dark-skinned boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, and whipped him.

A long blood mark appeared on the black boy's face after being beaten, but he did not show any hatred. Instead, he was extremely excited. He knelt on the ground and cried with a thud. The Buryat people around him showed expressions of extreme envy.

Afterwards, Yang Kaijia directly selected seven or eight people with a whip. All those who were whipped were extremely excited without exception.

Because this was not to fight them, but to select some strong men from the captives according to the convention, and after training them, they would serve as the ghost slave cavalry directly under the Uliastai General's Office.

Sure enough, after the beating, the White Lotus Sect’s monks came up immediately and shaved their heads while chanting scriptures in the cold wind.

When the surrounding Kusugul Mongolian cavalry saw this, they also started chanting.

After singing a part, they would kowtow towards the south of Beijing and shout in Mongolian something like "Long live the great Emperor Tengri, may the wise king come to the world to guide the suffering people."

As the power of the Dayu Dynasty deepens, the beliefs of the grassland are changing. The White Lotus Sect is slowly carving out a piece of its own territory in the grassland that is completely controlled by the Yellow Sect.

"The rest is the reward from His Majesty the Emperor to your Kusugul tribe." Yang Kaijia retracted the whip and then emphasized to Arsalan:

"Tell all the tribes to kill the most vicious Cossacks, but their women and children must be spared.

His Majesty's oral decree: Whoever first captures Erkou (Irkutsk) will be the King of Erkou Shunning, and his tribe will be able to enjoy the most fertile pastures!

Some people in the court originally thought that the Cossacks could be used, but after final investigation, they decided to kill them all.

Because during the more than 100 years that the Russian Empire ruled the Xianbei Desert, the Cossacks had become the concrete representation of the Russian Empire's strength.

If the Dayu Dynasty does not kill all these Cossacks who are regarded as devils in the eyes of local tribes, how can it demonstrate the power of its new master?
