Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 734: Just kill more and you’ll be fine

Galdan, who was only ten years old, carefully knelt down to the center of the hall and kowtowed humbly.

Zhu Youjian looked at him, feeling a little self-deprecating.

Thinking that many tribes in Junggar might also be involved in the unrest in the northwest, he selected the one who seemed to him to be the most famous among the many protons, but he did not expect that he was only about ten years old.

He's just an ignorant kid.

No matter how good you are in reading, it is probably useless for such military and national affairs.

But it is quite useful on another level.

After all, he is not only the son of a leader of the Junggar Mongolian tribe, but also a candidate for living Buddha.

Before being asked to come over by Zhu Youjian, he studied scriptures under the Fourth Panchen Lama. Because he was asked by name, he also had some unpleasantness with Junggar Mongolia and Tibetan Buddhism.

If he hadn't just defeated Oirat Mongolia, would this man really have come?

"Stand aside."

Galdan was originally very frightened. If the guards of the tribe hadn't said that their tribe had not sent any news before, he might have run away at this time.

Now that I saw Zhu Youjian just glanced at him without any anger on his face, he felt calmer.

Soon, all the hostages sent to the capital as guards or students from the other northwest Mongolian tribes were in place.

Zhu Youjian first sent the report to Jiayuguan for them to circulate.

There's no point in attacking these protons.

The original request to send people was just one from each tribe, and those who were sent were naturally not popular. Now that the Jiayuguan battle is about to begin, these people are already abandoned.

Zhu Youjian naturally had to make them realize the identity of the abandoned son.

After reading the report, most of these people showed fear and uneasiness on their faces. Many people knelt down to beg for mercy. Galdan also knelt down and kowtowed. During this period, he looked at the people around him with sharp eyes.

It’s not that I hate them.

I just feel that the tribe that sent them here is really stupid and uncivilized.

It's best for you to just make trouble and ask for something. If you really want to go against the Qing Dynasty and just use the scattered grassland and desert of the Western Regions, you really can't understand it.

"Since this is what your father and brother are causing trouble, you naturally have to deal with it. Tomorrow, those over the age of 13 will report to the Eight Banners camp outside the capital city and go out with the army to support Jiayuguan."

It is easier to take care of them if they are sent to the army, and they can be killed when the time comes, making them easier to use.

After saying that, Zhu Youjian asked them to retreat and prepare. Those who were older had a look of death on their faces, while those who were younger were either ignorant or lucky.

Galdan also breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

"Galdan stays."

Turning around respectfully, he saw Zhu Youjian looking at him with interest.

The tall and muscular figure, coupled with the illustrious reputation accumulated over the years, and the rumors of gods and ghosts, made Galdan dare not look at him and hurriedly knelt down.

There are many descendants of nobles in the Imperial College, and there are also people with old black flags and black guards.

The discussions in their mouths were mixed, and the sources of information were wide. Galdan heard them all. Although he did not dare to make unreasonable opinions, he had a vague answer in his heart.

"I heard that you want to marry my daughter?"

"This slave is young and cannot drink alcohol at all. He was tricked into drinking a few drinks before he uttered lies. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "It seems that you do have some wisdom. It's true that I asked you to come here by name. But it's definitely not possible to ask to marry my eldest daughter, but I still have a daughter, so you can It’s not like there’s no chance.”

Galdan's brain couldn't help but heat up after hearing this.

"Please give me your Majesty's permission!"

"Okay, okay, let me tell you straight. You have been worshiping Sakyamuni since you were a child. You once studied sutras with the [-]th Panchen Lama. You were originally supposed to be a living Buddha. I wanted you to come here, but I cut off your influence in the Junggar tribes. The road is smooth, but it can still be connected. When you are fifteen, I will ask the living Buddha of the Yellow Sect in Guan Nei to personally send you back to worship the fourth Panchen Lama. After that, if you become a living Buddha and return to the secular world to unite the Junggar tribes, I will allow you to marry the princess. .”

Galdan kowtowed hurriedly, fearing that Zhu Youjian would regret it.

Is this task difficult?
It's not difficult for Galdan.

Before he was asked to come to the capital, he was already an incarnation of a living Buddha. He studied sutras with the fourth Panchen Lama just to make his path to a living Buddha smoother, otherwise his father Batur Hutaiji would make him his successor. , he won’t refuse.

Long before he came to the capital, at the age of eight, he had already thought about his identity as a living Buddha and was slowly planning for everything he wanted.

So when he was asked to come, he was extremely reluctant.

However, the Black Banner Qing army was strong, and the three tribes of Khalkha and Mongolia were still invincible. Not to mention the Junggar tribe, even the leader of the Yellow Sect, the Living Buddha, the Fourth Panchen Lama, could not protect him.

But of course he left the Western Region full of resentment and entered the world inside the pass.

He could no longer feel any resentment.

What kind of world is this?

It was okay at first, but the closer he got to the capital, the more impact his young mind received.

I have been studying for several years now.

The only thing left in his heart about the desert grassland that he once thought about so much was the 'people' there.

The people in the pass live the life that human beings live.

Galdan raised his head, his eyes filled with tears and tears of gratitude.

My father-in-law was so appreciative that he asked the master of the Yellow Sect in Guan Nei to send him back, and he would definitely need follow-up support. What is this? This is the wealth and achievements that come to his door!
I admire him so much.

After sending Galdan away, Zhu Youjian was waiting for new information from Jiayuguan.

The reinforcements also embarked on the road carrying a group of protons.

Two more days.

Intelligence from Jiayuguan kept coming, and the local situation gradually became fuller in Zhu Youjian's eyes.

The scale of the war was not too big. It was not that a hero suddenly appeared from the Western Regions and attracted all the tribes to join him. It was just that several Mongolian tribes united to 'recover' Jiayuguan.

In addition, the foreign trade prices of goods exported to each other are too high, and the Zhengbai Banner comes out of the customs from time to time to harass ethnic settlements outside the customs.

Along the way, the Tibetans also got involved and formed a miscellaneous army that claimed to have 5 people, but in fact, according to Zhengbai Banner, it only numbered [-] to [-].

Because people from the surrounding areas of Jiayuguan were involved in the turmoil, a small team formed by them went to the rear of Jiayuguan to grab something, but was repelled by the Jiuquan Suzhou Guard garrison.

The Black Flag Qing Dynasty's management of Jiayuguan was just like that.

But the Hexi Corridor behind Jiayuguan is managed quite well.

If it weren't for the fact that the local area was sparsely populated and the races were not easy to control, which led to frequent thefts on the railways, the railways would probably have ended abruptly in Lanzhou instead of in a big way.

As the volume of overseas shipments from the Black Flag Qing Dynasty surged, old-fashioned goods such as porcelain, silk and tea were showing signs of industrialization, and the Silk Road was booming.

So this battle needs to be fought harder now.

It just so happened that the Eight Banners was eager to make contributions.

It shouldn't be a problem to fight a war that will bring peace to the Western Region for five years.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian looked at the folding paper in front of him again.

There's been a lot going on these days.
