Xinshun 1730

Chapter 27
Being said to be the wolf cub in the pigsty, Liu Yu didn't know whether to be complacent or to sigh wryly.

After running to the study and listening to the words of the elders, Liu Yu was really confused.

It was beyond his expectation.

Even if his mother had just finished telling him the story of Marquis Linhuai, at most she thought that she could follow Duke Qi to the shore of Lake Baikal and participate in the negotiations with Russia.

This is not dangerous, and it can be plated with gold, wouldn't it be beautiful?

How could I ever think that I would throw myself to Heilongjiang?

He knows how to shout slogans. He was still shouting slogans like "I want to learn from Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan".

Loud and ambitious.

But when he was really asked to be Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan, he was still a little reluctant.

Zhang Qianbo was envoy to the Western Regions as a Marquis, and he narrowly escaped death.

If you let yourself choose a template, if there is a chance, Liu Yu naturally hopes to be like Li Ershi and Wei Huanqi, relying on the relationship between the elder brother and the younger brother-in-law to achieve it in one step.

But since it has already been decided, the background of his second son can't be picky.

Qi Guogong was right, the second son Feng Xunwei was not granted casually.

Probably seeing Liu Yu's astonishment, Qi Guogong encouraged: "Although this matter is dangerous, if it is done well, it will also benefit you in the future. How can it be used without major incidents? This matter is extremely important. If it is not the case, Your Majesty I will not choose you either."

These words are not just completely reassuring.This matter is indeed very important, and it is of great significance to the strategy of Dashun as a whole.

Entering the palace today, the emperor talked with the two princes about the fight with Luo Sha, and mentioned the "A Brief Examination of the Western Countries" written by Liu Yu. During the period, he also showed some worries about the future.

This time, the border demarcation negotiation with the Raksha Kingdom may be the first time since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Zhu Xia negotiated with a "barbarian country" on an equal footing.

There was no equal negotiation before.

Either a war, or an edict between the Celestial Dynasty and the tributary states.

And this time, I am afraid that it is also the first time that Zhuxia will use the name "China" to sign a treaty-in the past, it could only be the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, all of which were dynasties. There is no equal treaty under the tributary system Space.

The new foreign system began to challenge the order of the kingdoms of the whole world, and the court of Dashun had to find a new way to deal with it, striving to find the correct way of communication amidst confusion and confusion.

Here's a try.

The Westphalian system introduced in Liu Yu's "A Brief Study of the Western Countries" provided a new perspective for the emperor in the palace.

Although he is not quite used to it yet, he can at least get a glimpse of the door and get a general understanding of the other party's way of thinking.

This time of negotiations, this time of war against Russia, is of great significance, and it goes beyond that.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lin Danhan of the Borzhijin family died, and his heirs cast the jade seal of the Mongolian Empire to Huang Taiji.

The Mongol Empire officially perished legally, Horqin and other Mongolian tribes in Monan took refuge in Houjin, and Huang Taiji was not only the Great Khan of Houjin, but also the Great Khan of Mongolia.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the Khalkha tribe of Mongolia in northern Mobei, the rest of the Oala tribe in the northwest and even on the Volga River, jointly formulated the "Khalka-Oirat Law Code", facing the threat of Tsarist Russia and Houjin, and the betrayal of relatives in Monan, we must not Do not hug to keep warm.

This kind of covenant similar to the "Alliance of Han, Zhao, Wei, Three Jins" can be imagined, and it will not last.

The Junggar tribe in Oirat is getting stronger day by day, and the Khalkha tribe of the alliance will be attacked first.

Dashun, who had just pacified the Ding Ding Xin Dynasty in the Central Plains, watched coldly, waiting for the opponent to lose both sides, and forced the Khalkha tribe to go south to ask for help, becoming Dashun's tributary state, in exchange for Dashun to defend the Junggar tribe.

Dashun also didn't want to see a unified Wala and Khalkha alliance, so he took advantage of the trend.

The lesson of Tumubao is still not far away, and the Central Plains Dynasty definitely does not want to see a unified Oirat Mongolia again.

Following Taizong Li Guo's behest, learning the methods of the Later Jin Dynasty, after Dashun counterattacked Li Ting and sweeping the caves in Liaodong, he implemented the method of "feudal system" in Monan Mongolia.

The scope of the grassland is fixed, nomadic tribes are not allowed to "nomade", only fixed-point animal husbandry, which is called "barony".

After the various tribes of Monan Mongolia who took refuge in Houjin were disabled, they had to accept that the entire Monan Mongolia was divided into more than 60 baronies, and more than 60 barons were divided.

The ten barons are combined into a viscount, and a period of five years is formed. A viscount is elected by the ten subordinate barons, and it will take effect after the approval of the capital.

The feudal system, dismantled and reorganized, one faction to fight against the other, whoever takes the lead will be beaten, whoever is disobedient will be beaten, and whoever does not cooperate will be of no benefit.

He found the descendants of the Bo'er Jijin family, sealed a puppet-like county king, and surrounded him in the capital.

The duke and noble were selected to build a city guard in Chifeng.

Take back the Hetao area, build a city in Hetao, and put another frontier general to guard it.

Monan Mongolia is no longer a threat, and the Khalkha tribe in Mobei has to pay tribute because of the threat of the Junggar tribe.

It seems that the situation has been stabilized, but it is actually in danger.

Before going to war with the Khalkha tribe, the Junggar tribe briefly offered tribute and asked for mutual market trade.

Some people are keenly aware of the problem. In the Ming Dynasty, the iron pot that was regarded as a good thing by the Mongolian tribe was no longer needed by the Junggar tribe.

Either, the Mongols no longer need to use iron pots; or, the Junggar tribe is not just nomadic, but can smelt iron and spin pots.

Obviously, the answer is the latter.

Coupled with trade with Safi Persia in Central Asia, the Mughal Empire in South Asia, and Northwest Tsarist Russia, the level of firearms in the Junggar tribe has improved rapidly.

After the Khalkha tribe in Mobei went south to take refuge, its affiliated Buryat Mongolia was still grazing on Lake Baikal, which is the pasture of the Buryats.

Tsarist Russia has been expanding eastward and southward year after year, and the Buryat Mongols are constantly being oppressed, but the Khalkha tribe has been unable to support them, so the Buryat Mongols can only send people south to seek help from Dashun.

The Russians charge fur taxes, force them to perform military service, and force them to believe in the Orthodox Church.

Relatively speaking, being a tribute to Dashun would at least not be exploited like this.

Furthermore, the plateau Buddhism they believe in and the Orthodox Church can't pee in the same pot, but in the Dahuguo Temple near Liu Yu's house, there is a great lama with the title of Daqing Dharma King, no matter how you look at Buryatia, Monan Mongolia and Dashun It's also close.

However, the situation has changed dramatically in recent years, and the relationship between the Junggar tribe and Tsarist Russia has become more and more rigid.

The continuous fighting between the two sides, coupled with the Turghut tribe on the Volga River, made Tsarist Russia extremely uneasy. After all, the Turghut tribe was also a tribe that participated in the "Khalka-Oirat Code", and the Volga River was even more Arrived in the heart of Tsarist Russia.

As soon as the relationship between Zhungeer and Tsarist Russia froze, some people from the Khalkha and Buryat tribes began to fight at both ends.

In the past, Dashun paid tribute, but they also secretly communicated with Tsarist Russia. They were waiting and watching—who is the real and powerful backer?

The emergence of gunpowder and muskets brought the golden age of nomads to an end.

In the past, he couldn't fight but could run.Run away, rest and recuperate for a few years before coming back.

What now?
The times have changed.

There is the deadly enemy Junggar in the west, Tsarist Russia in the north, Liaodong Jiedushi in Dashun in the east, and Dashun, which has been thriving not long after the founding of the country, in the south. There is nowhere to go.

You can only choose a side, you can only choose a backer.

Or, surrender.

Or, vote for Russia.

The benefits of surrendering, Dashun has a celestial dynasty, the treasury is rich, there are great benefits, and there is no need to change religion.

The advantage of investing in Russia is that you can be the vanguard of Tsarist Russia, cooperate with Russia, go south to Monan to grab the best pastures, and cooperate with Tsarist Russia's southward invasion to beat the autumn wind.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

Therefore, Mobei Mongolia is still waiting and watching, who is the strongest in Northeast Asia at this time - if Dashun wins, he will take refuge in Tsarist Russia and bear the brunt, not to mention getting beaten; if Tsarist Russia wins, he will be beaten Taking refuge in Dashun, Tsarist Russia still bears the brunt of going south, and still has to be beaten.

Monan Mongolia has been conferred more than 60 baronies, and they are constantly mixed with sand, so they can no longer be regarded as an independent political force.

Only Mobei Mongolia still has the capital to wait and see, and the capital to choose sides.

Although it is easy for the Junggar Department to beat them.But the Junggar tribe can't beat Tsarist Russia, and they can't beat Dashun either. As long as they choose a side, they can be at ease.

So this battle is extremely important, and Dashun cannot afford to lose.

Not only can't afford to lose, but also fight very beautifully.

Let the Khalkha and Buryat tribes see the military strength of Dashun, and let them recognize a reality: Tsarist Russia is strong, but its ability to deliver across Siberia is limited; Dashun's military technology is slightly weak, But the volume is huge, at least in Northeast Asia, it is stronger than Tsarist Russia.

It helps them to be realistic and pick the right side.

Similarly, this is also good for Dashun - the Khalkha tribe has chosen a border and recognized Dashun as the suzerain state, then the Junggar tribe is a traitor who violated the "Khalka-Oirat Code", and all tribes will discuss it together.

Dashun, as the suzerain of the various tribes in Oala, pacified the Junggar tribe, that is, the suzerain helped the younger brother to suppress the rebellion.

Now the descendants of the Borzhijin family are the free and easy county kings in the capital, the legal order of Monan has been obtained, and the method of dividing the feudal system and fixing the ranch seems to be very effective. The Dashun court believes that this is a solution to the border troubles of Mongolia in one fell swoop. it's time.

But if you lose...

I fear there will never be peace on the northern frontier.

There were Tatars in the Cossacks of Tsarist Russia.

The stability maintenance and brainwashing assimilation effect of the Orthodox Church is too strong.Tatars who believe in religion can also become Cossacks, and the Orthodox Church is the strongest link between the tsar's "baby daddy" and the Cossacks.

At that time, a Baikal Cossack military region and an Amur Cossack military region will be on top of their heads, and I am afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of Ming Dynasty.

Qi Guogong Tian Suo believes that Liu Yu can understand the stakes.

As long as you understand the pros and cons of this, you can understand how important it is to go to the Northeast this time.

How he talks about Tian Suo depends on how the Northeast is fighting; how the Northeast is fighting depends on how Liu Yu is doing with the information of the Northeast with the boy army.

Suffering is a bit bitter, and difficulty is a bit difficult, but it also shows the emperor's hope.If it wasn't so important, Liu Yu wouldn't have been given the title of Honorary Guard directly.To a guard, if there is no such thing, it is so generous that people can't understand it. Rumors spread around Yiguo's mansion that Liu Yu might seize the title.

"As the saying goes, there is specialization in the art industry. You should be familiar with what you do and what you need when you go to the Songhua River this time. If you need anything, just come to me and I will solve it."

"As soon as tomorrow is over, there will be a formal order issued. It will only say that you will serve in the army to deceive people. It is already August, and we will start in mid-September."

"It's bitter cold there, and you should have prepared early. This matter is related to the future, and it is even more related to my troubles in the north. It is not a trivial matter, and it must be done well."

"Your Majesty allows you to do things cheaply, and will also give you an embroidered spring knife, an honor guard's brocade uniform, and the title of a patrol slave to serve as a tribe in the forest. As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes tomorrow, someone will call you to the military camp outside the city. This is the end of the matter, There is no way out, if you feel like retreating at this time, your life will be ruined."

With a big wave of his hand, Tian Suo told Liu Yu that the escape route had been sealed.Liu Sheng looked on coldly and didn't say a word, until the end he said lightly, "What Duke Qi means is what I mean."

Liu Yu didn't even think about quitting at this time, his brain was not rusted, and if he quit at this time, he used Tian Suo to tell himself that his life would be ruined?
After sending Duke Qi away, Liu Sheng felt that he had nothing more to say to Liu Yu, so he let him go back to his small courtyard.

In the room, the maids who were frightened in the morning and surprised in the afternoon asked him about his service in the frontier army.

Liu Yu also felt that his future was uncertain, who knew if he could come back alive, so he simply had a show with the two maids to vent his anger, and went to bed at midnight.One by one suffers, it is really far from those women in the entertainment field, the skills are jerky, and it is not fun.

On the second day, he got up like a soft-footed shrimp, and spent most of the day in a daze until the family dinner at night.

The gossip in the mansion dissipated with the family banquet, Liu Sheng praised Liu Yu for being able to serve the country early; the second key point mentioned the small courtyard to be opened for Liu Yu.

Brothers and sisters-in-law don't care about serving the country.

Open up a small courtyard, that's what they really care about.

After saying this, it was fun and harmonious, and brothers and friends respected each other.

After losing the interest relationship, the true feelings were revealed, and the eldest brother even shed a few tears for Liu Yu's upcoming journey.

After mid-autumn, I went to the Wude Palace for a formality, and entertained the students for a drink, and the emperor's official decree came down.

This time going north, it is not easy to bring too many family members, so Liu Yu brought along a steamed bun who has been with him since childhood, can read and write, and can ride a horse and shoot a gun.

Wearing the honorary brocade uniform bestowed by the emperor, with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, and a servant carrying steamed buns, he wandered unsteadily to the military camp outside the city.

As soon as he entered the gate of the barracks, the officer who came to welcome him met Liu Yu face to face, and the two of them were completely dumbfounded.

"It's you?"
