Chapter 527
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Unlike the taciturn guard battalion, the soldiers of the grenadier battalion suddenly let out a cry of killing when they passed the general platform. He opened his eyes, subconsciously not daring to look at the grenadier battalion soldiers below.

When the soldiers of the Grenadier Battalion passed by, almost all the other soldiers of the Fuhan Army looked at them and silently gave a military salute. This military salute was not for anything else, but just to express the highest respect for the warriors in the army.

Everyone knows that the most dangerous place in the army is naturally the grenadier battalion, and even the guard battalion has lower casualties than the grenadier battalion, because the guard battalion is a shield after all, and it needs to play a protective role. It doesn't go too deep into dangerous places, but the grenadier battalion is different. Their mission from the beginning is to block the enemy's charge with flesh and blood, and return to the enemy's line. They will always stand on the road of attack .

"The strongest grenadier battalion soldiers always face the enemy with their faces, and their fragile backs always face their teammates." This is a crazily circulated motto in the grenadier battalion, and even spread to other troops Among them, because behind this sentence, there is a bloody fact hidden-that is, among the casualties in the bombing battalion of the Fuhan Army, almost all wounds were frontal.

There is only one reason for the frontal wounds, they never retreat, let alone run towards the rear.

The Mongolian princes looked at the grenadier battalion below, and couldn't help falling into silence. The guard camp just now could make them sigh a few words, but the grenadier battalion right now made them no longer even have the mood to sigh. Only fear.

After the grenadier battalion passed, several square formations passed slowly to the beat of the drums. Compared with the guard battalion and the grenadier battalion, they were not too special, but they were also from various divisions and regiments. The title battalion is also the elite of each division.

The so-called title battalion refers to the titles that have been awarded by superiors in special battles. They are usually named after place names in recognition of their huge sacrifices and achievements.

Compared with the grenadier battalion in front, the title battalion did not show much momentum, so that the Mongolian princes who were sitting on the chairs honestly could not help but relax a little at this time, and even started to talk to Just passed the battalion for evaluation up.

Although these comments are all positive compliments, they are very different from the silence just now. From this, it can be seen that in the hearts of the Mongolian princes, how much fear they have for the grenadier battalion.

Just when everyone was discussing, it suddenly became quieter, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, but it attracted the eyes of the Mongolian princes. The cavalry regiment, in a neat square formation, was walking towards this side.

"The First Cuirassier Regiment of the Imperial Guards was the ones who blocked the surprise attack of the Qing army's cavalry. The casualties after the battle were also very heavy. Almost one-third of the [-] cavalrymen died in the battle, and they barely recovered their vitality until now. "

Ning Zhongyi looked at the Mongolian princes in front of him, and introduced it calmly, but this kind of treatment was never enjoyed by the infantry in front of him, but it made everyone feel shocked-they were not interested in the Battle of Baliqiao. No stranger, in that battle, the final duel of the cavalry determined the outcome of the battle.

It can even be said that Yongzheng himself died on the way of the cavalry charge.

Therefore, after the translator translated Ning Zhongyi's words, all the Mongolian princes stood up and looked at the cavalry in front of them solemnly. They hoped to see through the powerful secret of the Han army.

"Da da da--"

I saw the cavalry of the First Cuirassier Regiment of the Imperial Guard Division of the Fuhan Army, all dressed in red uniforms, with a layer of black plate armor on the outside, helmets on their heads, and gleaming sabers in their hands , and under the crotch are shiny Arabian horses, with long muskets and pistols hanging on the saddles, which look very heroic.

But relatively speaking, what is more striking is that each cavalry phalanx is like the infantry phalanx in front of it, and the phalanxes are neatly arranged. Whether it is the horses or the cavalry above, the movements highlight a kind of uniformity. beauty.

"hiss"

The Mongolian princes were once again shocked, and this time the shock was even worse, because in their opinion, the Fuhan Army was nothing more than powerful firearms. To really talk about the cavalry depends on their Mongols-but currently The cuirassiers trained by French cavalry instructors showed strength in another sense.

When a powerful opponent appears in a familiar field, it is often even more frightening.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the cavalry phalanx of the Fuhan army passed one by one. Unlike the infantry phalanx, the cavalry phalanx moved faster. Therefore, in just a short moment, six cavalry phalanxes passed the general platform , and the shocking effect they gave to the Mongolian prince has turned into a deep surprise.

It only took a short period of one or two years to create such a cavalry army, no matter from which level you look at it, it can reflect the strength of the Fuhan Army.

After the cavalry phalanx passed, the artillery phalanx entered the field, and the formation they formed was simpler. First, 36 eight-pound cannons were slowly passed through the podium under traction, followed by 36 twelve-pound cannons, and 36 cannons. Eighteen-pound cannons, and in the end there were twelve 24-pound cannons.

The muzzles of the cannons pointed obliquely at the sky, flickering a frightening light under the sunlight, and behind the cannons were the artillery soldiers who followed, all of them looked very big and round, There is only a six-shot pistol pinned to his waist, and there are no other weapons.

Compared with the infantry phalanx and cavalry phalanx in front, the artillery phalanx is not very neat, but visually it is more likely to make people feel fearful - in the face of so many artillery, destruction has become the only destiny.

After all the phalanxes of the Fuhan Army had gone up and walked around, the officers of the Fuhan Army sitting on the general platform almost all looked high-spirited, while most of the Mongolian princes were in awe, watching The eyes looking in the direction of the emperor seemed awed.

"His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, ministers and others, the 49 Banners of the Sixteen Divisions of Monan Mongolia, would like to honor His Majesty as the Great Khan of All Mongolia, and Tengger Khan would like to offer a tribute of nine whites."

In the big tent, the leaders of the Monan Mongolian tribes who had been stunned by the military parade knelt on the ground and proclaimed their praises. Most of their eyes were filled with awe.

The so-called tribute of nine whites refers to eight white horses and one white cow, which was also the highest courtesy given to Huang Taiji back then.

Ning Yu sat on the throne, glanced at the Mongolian princes in front of him, and smiled slightly, "If you want me to be the Mongolian Khan, are you willing to obey my orders?"

"The ministers should obey the golden order of the Great Khan."

Monan Mongolian princes agreed in unison, but when most of them answered, their demeanor changed slightly. Obviously, most of them did not really obey Ning Yu's orders unconditionally. For them, the current This scene was no different from the one in Shengjing.

In the final analysis, the Central Plains Dynasty had no way to establish a strong and powerful rule on the grassland. During the strong period, the Mongolian forces might be able to bow their heads and ears, but once they declined, these Mongolian princes and ministers would naturally not be polite at all. Turning faces is no slower than turning books.

Ning Yu was naturally clear in his heart, and immediately threw out his own thoughts, "Since you are all willing to listen to me, how about taking some practical actions? For example, I want all the banners and forces in Monan Mongolia to stop nomadism and implement the settlement system. , implement the provincial, county and county system? How about it?"

What?Stop nomadic?Do you want the Mongols to implement the county system?

When Ning Yu’s voice just fell, there was a commotion in the tent. For these Mongolian princes, the grassland people’s way of life has been living by water and grass for thousands of years. It can be said that farming with the Han people is rooted in their blood. Things, how can it be possible to just give up now?

"quiet!"

The privy envoy Ning Zhongyi snorted coldly, and looked down at the Mongolian princes with threats in his eyes, but it made the Mongolian princes' hearts tremble, and they didn't dare to make any more noise, but they were not convinced at all in their hearts, because although the emperor is supreme , But soldiers have no right to interfere with the Mongolian way of life.

Ning Yu pondered for a while, and said, "Don't you think that I am harming you by telling you to give up nomadic animal husbandry and choose to settle down?"

"I dare not wait."

Now the voices of the answers were a little sparse, and it was obvious that most of the Mongolian princes chose to resist, even those who answered did not dare to openly object.

Ning Yu sighed slightly, and said: "I actually know a lot about the way of life of grassland people who live by water and grass. I don’t want to, but if you don’t nomad, the cattle and sheep will starve to death, once the cattle and sheep starve to death, the grassland people will naturally not be able to survive, do you think I’m right?”

"Your Majesty's words are very true." At this moment, most of the Mongolian princes answered very neatly, and they were also looking for death in their hearts. Didn't the emperor understand it?
Ning Yu looked at the crowd and said softly: "The reason why I hope you can settle the situation is not because I want to starve to death, but because I hope that the Mongols in the future can gradually get rid of this kind of wandering life. Inside the house, it must be more comfortable than a yurt."

"Your Majesty, the prairie people don't want to be comfortable, what the prairie people need is survival." Zalut sighed softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if it wasn't for the sake of living, how could the grassland people fight all day long?"

"Your Majesty's kindness is well known in the hearts of the ministers, but God does not give the grassland a way to live, and the ministers have no choice."

The Mongolian princes finally opened their mouths to express their thoughts. Many of them may have become accustomed to fighting for a living, but what's wrong with being able to live comfortably?

Throughout the dynasties, the life of herdsmen living on the grasslands is often more miserable than that of farmers living in the interior, because they are more vulnerable to climate change. Even if it is just a snowstorm, many people may starve to death .In this case, stability is just a luxury for them.

Of course, at the same time, because the survival pressure of the grassland will also be transformed into a driving force for external expansion, the final victims will naturally be the relatively wealthy Han people in the pass.

Ning Yu stretched out his hand to stop the crowd from continuing, and said, "I understand what you mean, but of course I won't let the grassland people starve to death. In fact, your life can be better."

"Also ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."

"Ensure production, promote commerce, and promote development."

Ning Yu looked at the suspicious eyes of everyone, and then said: "The first step is to ensure production. The grassland people are most worried about not being able to survive, so I will send someone to help you build a green storage cellar, bury the green fodder for fermentation, and thus Ensure that there is stable pasture for cattle and sheep, and if you have enough preparations, you don’t have to worry about cattle and sheep dying even in winter.”

"Your Majesty, what is this green storage cellar? I have never heard of it before."

"My minister of the Ministry of Agriculture will tell you the detailed information and the effect of field application. In short, with the promotion of this technology, survival will not become a big problem."

Regardless of other people's suspicious looks, Ning Yu continued: "Secondly, it is to promote business. There is a lack of everything on the grassland. It can be said that the demand for trade is very extensive, so I will establish a business and trade line on the grassland. Materials from the interior are transported to the grasslands for sale, and the cattle, sheep, and wool on the grasslands will be sold to the interior to improve the production and living issues of the herdsmen.”

"This is good, this is good." The Mongolian princes were immediately delighted. They have never rejected caravans that go to the grassland. Even those black-hearted businessmen can often make a fortune on the grassland—not really It's really because the grassland people are simple and honest. In fact, they have no other better trade options and can only suffer in vain.

Ning Yu still ignored those happy prairie princes, but continued: "This matter will be taken care of by the Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. At that time, all major commercial routes and commercial centers connected to the prairie will be opened. All the corresponding tolls will be cancelled, and only the relevant industrial and commercial taxes will be collected.”

There was even a hint of disbelief on the faces of the people. They had never heard of such generous conditions. Even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the past could not win over the Mongols in this way. For the Mongols, the strategy of pulling and beating is still adopted.

It's just that when the topic came to this point, everyone couldn't help looking at Ning Yu with anticipation-the previous guarantee of production and business promotion were enough to make them feel happy, so what does the last promotion of development mean?
