Chapter 522: Mission to Mobei
Although Sun Jiagan said that he was a useless person, Liu Tongxun naturally didn't think so. In fact, Sun Jiagan could play a very important role in the Mongolian issue, and it was not an ordinary person who could replace it.

After persuading Sun Jiagan to become an official, the two rushed to the capital together to meet the privy envoy Ning Zhongyi who presided over the overall situation, and Zhao Xiantai, the left servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When His Majesty is not in the capital, Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai are the main persons in charge of the Mongolian issue. Of course, they are also responsible for the recruitment of Monan Mongolia in the early stage. As for the more important matters in Mobei, Ning Yu will personally coordinate in the future.

The two rushed all the way back to the capital from Guihua City, but before they really took a breather, Ning Zhongyi, who had been waiting for the news, sent someone to invite Sun Jiagan and Liu Tongxun.

"Master Sun, Lord Liu, this way please, the Privy Envoy is waiting for you."

The lieutenant colonel accompanying Sun Jiagan and Liu Tongxun made a gesture and directed them to the yamen of the Privy Council of the capital. After passing through a heavily guarded courtyard, they came to a quiet and deep courtyard with the door half closed. However, there is a sense of mystery.

When the two reached the gate of the courtyard, Sun Jiagan hadn't observed carefully before he heard a burst of yelling coming from the courtyard, and the yelling of these people seemed to have lasted for a long time.

"All the young and old from the Eight Banners of Chahar have arrived, but His Majesty has not given a clear meaning."

"That's right, we intend to take refuge in Great Chu, and we can also send troops to attack Qing in the future."

"Banner masters are nothing more than seeking stability. If you are a stable official of Dachu, you will naturally be a member of Dachu."

Before Sun Jiagan and Liu Tongxun listened carefully, the face of the lieutenant colonel changed slightly, and he quickly stopped in front of Sun Jiagan, saying: "All the people from the Eight Banners of Chahar have arrived. You two wait here first, I will Go and report to the Privy Envoy."

Sun Jiagan felt a little displeased, since you, Ning Zhongyi, invited them here to discuss Mongolian affairs, why did you leave them here now?

Liu Tongxun smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is going to hold a Mongolian conference in the capital, and people from the 49 Banners of the [-]th Division of Monan will all be there, but they are here ahead of time. They just want some bargaining chips."

Hearing this, Sun Jiagan's heart trembled. He probably understood why he met someone from Monan Mongolia by such a coincidence. You might as well use Monan Mongolia to try his foundation first.

If the people in Monan Mongolia can be dealt with, then the affairs of Mobei Mongolia can naturally be handed over to him, Sun Jiagan, but if he can't even handle this matter well, then let's fight back and forth.

After Sun Jiagan came to his senses, he had figured out some meanings about Ning Zhongyi's thoughts, so after he figured it out, he didn't hesitate at all, and walked directly into the courtyard, while Liu Tongxun smiled slightly and followed suit. behind him.

"Mr. Sun's name is like thunder, and this king has admired him for a long time."

There were more than ten people sitting in the lobby of the courtyard. One of them was wearing a military uniform and smiling. He was looking at Sun Jiagan and bowed his hands in salute.

Beside Ning Zhongyi, there is a dignified civil official, presumably Zhao Xiantai, the left servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and under the two of them, there are more than a dozen Mongolians, each with a little displeasure on their faces .

Sun Jiagan cupped his hands and said, "Sun Jiagan, a grassroots man, pays his respects to the lord, to your lord."

Ning Zhongyi's expression was as usual, and he said: "Come here, let's take a seat." Then he said with a smile to the other Mongolians: "Everyone, this is the famous Sun Xigong, everyone must have heard of it."

The person sitting next to Ning Zhongyi's left hand said with a smile: "Naturally, naturally, I have heard of Mr. Sun's name when I was at Yongzheng Lord's place. It is said that he is very bold!" It sounded like a sneer, and the Mongolians on the side also laughed.

Sun Jiagan looked at the Mongols with a serious face, and said softly: "Although Sun was very bold back then, he is not as bold as you are today. You don't even know when you are about to die."

"Oh? Sun Jiagan, do you know what you're talking about?" The Mongolian looked a little angry, and he glanced at Ning Zhongyi again, and said with a cold snort: "How can such people participate in the cooperation between the various tribes of Mongolia? Come during Da Chu's negotiations."

"It's not negotiating, it's resetting the Mongolian order." Zhao Xiantai threw out a sentence lightly, they are not qualified for such things as negotiating.

The Mongols looked even more furious, and said, "How can the 49 Banners of the Sixteen Divisions of Mongolia in Monan be decided by the Great Chu?" The Mongols on the side also showed unhappy expressions.

At this time, Sun Jiagan broke into the conversation and said with a smile, "Sixteen 49 Banners? It's a big tone, but what can you do with a little Chahar Zhenghuang Banner? Even if you want to talk, it's with Ka Let’s talk about Laqin, Tumot, and Ordos.”

The face of Zarut, the owner of the Zhenghuang Banner in Chahar, suddenly changed. Without an introduction, the other party recognized himself—this can only explain one problem. His understanding of the various ministries of Mongolia is probably better than he imagined. Deeper.

As for Sun Jiagan's remarks, Zarut had no room to refute, because what the other party said was correct.

Among the three major Mongolian powers today, the strength of Monan Mongolia can be regarded as the worst. Let alone compared with the Jungar tribe, even Khalkha Mongolia in Mobei is inferior. Among the sixteen tribes and 49 banners of Mongolia, the Chahar Eight Banners are the weakest tribe.

The reason is very simple. Since Chahar was defeated by Hou Jin, he was completely incorporated by Huang Taiji at that time, and it was also compiled into the Eight Banners of Chahar. It can be said that the degree of control and win over is the deepest. This kind of control and win over It has been reflected up to now, but almost all of Chahar's cavalry has been controlled by the Qing court, and they have all been lost on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.

Today's Chahar tribe is almost at the most critical time. It can be said that as long as Ningchu sends troops, Chahar will not even have the strength to organize [-] cavalry, at most a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, which is not enough at all. road.

When cold sweat began to break out on Zalut's face, Ning Zhongyi smiled slightly. It seemed that Sun Jiagan did have his own unique side, but how to use it still needs to be observed.

Sun Jiagan took a sip from his teacup, and said softly, "The more important thing right now is that it's not that Great Chu needs Monan Mongolia, but that Monan Mongolia needs Great Chu. As for the reason, I don't think I need to say much."

Zalut was silent, and the tribes of Monan Mongolia have indeed reached the point of life and death.

First of all, after cutting off the grain and grass trade from the mainland, Monan Mongolia has no enough grain and grass to survive this winter. If Ning Chu does not lend a helping hand, the population of Monan Mongolia will drop sharply right now. Secondly, after the Northern Expedition, the strength of Monan Mongolia has dropped sharply. In the future, if Ning Chu does not need to do anything, it will be directly swallowed by Zhungeer.

As for the proposal to take refuge in Zhungeer, it was not approved by the leaders of Monan Mongolia from the very beginning. The reason is very simple. During the decades-long war against Zhungeer in the Qing Dynasty, Monan Mongolia has always been the main force. , It can be said that they have formed a deep blood feud with the Jungar tribe. Once they take refuge in Jungar, they, the leaders of Monan Mongolia, may not escape death.

As for seeking refuge in Mobei Mongolia, there is no need for this at all, because the other party simply does not have the ability to save them, and even Mobei Mongolia itself is in front of the Zhunbu, and has no self-protection ability.

After all, only Da Chu is the only character who can ask for help in Monan Mongolia at the moment, and they have no choice.

Zalut said shyly: "Mr. Sun is really powerful, but we are all citizens of Changshengtian. Even if we rely on Dachu, we must get the status that Chahar should have."

"What status? Zasak?"

Sun Jiagan almost looked at the Mongolian in front of him with sympathetic eyes. He seemed to have no understanding of the current situation. When was the Qing Dynasty implementing Zasak in Mobei?Don't talk about them right now, even Mobei Mongolia can't get the title of Zasak.

As mentioned earlier, Zasak is basically equivalent to the status of the prince, and even has greater power than the prince. In Zasak's fiefdom, mountains, rivers, forests, pastures, and fields are all owned by him, and he does not want to The government bears any corvee and taxes.The people are under its jurisdiction, pay taxes, and undertake corvee service, and Zasak has the power to kill them.

Today, when Ning Chu has implemented the New Deal, it is impossible for anyone to obtain such a status.

Zalut looked at Ning Zhongyi aggressively, and said: "If the imperial court can agree to the conditions for us to become Zasak, the 49 Banners of the Sixteen Divisions of Monan can surrender to Da Chu right now and become Da Chu's vassals in Monan .”

Ning Zhongyi didn't even think about it at all, shaking his head and said: "Impossible, Zasak will not award it to anyone, not to mention Monan Mongolia, even Cewang Allah Butan can't get this title-if Monan Mongolia therefore has other options, and you can go now."

"This..." Zalut's face was a little heavy. He looked at the other Mongolians, but he babbled a Mongolian word. Sun Jiagan still knew Mongolian quite well, but he could hear it clearly, and the smile on his face was even bigger. A few points.

Ning Zhongyi has an interpreter by his side, so naturally there is no need to worry. Those Mongols just said some nonsense about unity. But they don't think about it?What can be used to unite?Whether there are muskets or cannons, just relying on the riding and shooting in the past has proved that it will be beaten to pieces by the Fuhan army.

After all, Zarut didn't hold on, he looked at Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai, "Even if we choose to vote for Chu, we still have to see His Majesty."

Zhao Xiantai laughed loudly and said: "If you want to see His Majesty, then wait until His Majesty arrives in the capital. You will naturally have the opportunity to see His Majesty at that time, but there is one more thing. At that time, you have to write a letter to Your Majesty, and you have to give His Majesty a "God!" Khan's title will do"

"Heavenly Khan?" Sun Jiagan frowned, this His Majesty really did not hide his ambition at all
After the Mongols dispersed, Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai brought Sun Jiagan into a gazebo to talk. There was refilled tea in front of them.

Ning Zhongyi looked at Sun Jiagan, who was in his early forties, and sighed: "When Mr. Sun is strong and strong, he chooses to go back to the countryside. It is a waste of talent. This king has heard of Mr. Sun's name long ago, but he should not act rashly." Excuse me, now, taking advantage of state affairs, I have to invite Mr. Sun out of the mountain."

Sun Jiagan cupped his hands, "The words of King Changshan made the grassroots extremely terrified. They had never accepted the imperial edict before, so they were really worried about their old mother. Now that King Changshan has an order, the grassroots will naturally come."

Zhao Xiantai smiled, "Xi Gong, what I saw and heard today, I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Sun Jiagan sighed, and he said softly: "Lord Zhao doesn't know something, I just know a little about Mongolia, and I can speak a few words in Monan Mongolia, but when it comes to Mobei Mongolia, it's also a head-scratcher." Fog."

Ning Zhongyi pondered for a while. He was not too worried about the issue of Monan Mongolia at first, because with the strengthening of the control of the North by the Fuhan Army, even with the use of force, Monan can be pacified. Therefore, the real problem is still the issue of Monan. North this one.

It's just that Ning Zhongyi was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said: "A few days ago, the Military Intelligence Department got news that the Zhungeer Department has made new movements. They seem to want to unite with Nian Gengyao and others , re-conquer Mobei Mongolia and the Northwest."

"What? Zhungeer and Nian Gengyao walked together? This is a rare thing in the world!"

Sun Jiagan frowned, but he was a little surprised. You must know that a considerable part of the Northwest army led by Nian Gengyao had fought with Zhungeer in the Northwest. At this stage, if they are united, they are not afraid of mutiny?

Zhao Xiantai also sighed, "That's right, not only Nian Gengyao, but Yue Zhongqi from Qinghai-Tibet has also gone north. They have gathered 5 people, and they seem to be ready to move. Maybe they will invade Gansu and even Shaanxi and Zhungeer will send troops Mobei, attack the three tribes of Mongolia in Mobei."

"Then this matter... seems to be an opportunity for us." Sun Jiagan showed a smile on his face. If the Mobei Mongolian Tribe is really in trouble, who else can we turn to besides Ning Chu for help in the future?

Ning Zhongyi nodded, "This is a variable, but we have to send people to the Mobei Three Departments as soon as possible, at least to persuade them to return to Chu as soon as possible. The only thing I am worried about is that the Mobei Three Departments will not be able to hold on for long before they are Zhungeer." Eat it, when the time comes to face such Zhungeer, you will more or less understand."

Sun Jiagan fully understood, he whispered: "Caomin is willing to serve the imperial court."

"Okay, Mr. Xi, this king will present a report to His Majesty, and specially appoint you as the liaison ambassador of Mobei Mongolia, who will be fully responsible for the liaison with the three tribes of Mobei Mongolia. I hope it will be successful as soon as possible."

"Yes, Caomin thanked King Zhongshan."

When Sun Jiagan raised his head again, his whole body changed, and he seemed sharper.
