Chapter 300 The Mongolian Messenger

Three days had passed, and Jia Hu still stood still, waiting for information from the sentry camp.

At this time, there was a bustling and busy scene outside the city of Uliasutai. Thousands of Mobei Mongolians were digging trenches around the city wall. In the distance, a group of Mobei Mongolians salvaged the wood floating in the moat, and then carried Go to the open space and stack them up, there is already a lot of wood piled up on the open space.

These people were all members of the Zasaktu Khan tribe who hid in the mountains. Under the command of Montemu, they built an outer city with logs.

According to Jia Hu's plan, Uliasutai City will be divided into inner and outer cities in the future. The inner city is the military camp and the residential area for Han people, while the outer city is the living area for the Mongols in Mobei.

It is also necessary to build garrisons on the main roads in and out.

The headquarters of Jia Hu's Chinese army was located at the former general's residence in Uliasutai, with a large flag embroidered with the three characters "Ning Guogong" billowing in the wind.

Generals such as Li Si, Wang Dalei and Zhao Qiang stood in front of the map with their helmets on and their faces solemn.

Jia Hu scanned the map and said after a long while: "Three days, three days have passed and there is still no news of the Rakshasa people? Do you think the news has leaked?"

Wang Dalei replied: "When we were cleaning the battlefield, we counted the number of people specially, and no Raksha people escaped from the city."

Zhao Qiang: "According to the Commander-in-Chief's order, all the Mongols in Mobei can only go in and out, and those who fell trees are also sent to watch."

Li Si hesitated for a moment, and said, "Perhaps the Raksha people shipped the supplies directly to Heilongjiang."

Everyone was shocked.

Jia Hu's eyes also brightened: "You are right. Lin San!"

Lin San replied loudly: "Yes."

Jia Hu: "Have all the sentries in the direction of Cullen returned?"

Lin San: "Except for General Liu, everyone has returned, but no Rakshasa people have been found yet."

Jia Hu thought for a while: "Send another group of people to search in the northeast direction. Send some people who can speak Mongolian to the Chechen Khan to find out information."

Lin San replied: "Yes!" and hurried out.

Jia Hu stopped looking at the map, turned around, walked to the big case and sat down, picked up the account book beside him and looked through it.

This battle yielded quite a lot. Because the Raksha people were eager to occupy Heilongjiang, the property they looted from the Mobei Mongols was not transported back to Siberia. Ten years of belongings fell into the hands of the Yongweiying. Roughly estimated, the value of this batch of belongings was 600 million, and there were also a large number of precious stones that were difficult to value.

What excited Jia Hu the most was that he found gold ore among the spoils, which reminded him of the gold mines near Culun.

There are thousands of tons of gold buried under Uliasutai, as well as a large amount of iron ore, copper ore and coal, all near Kulun.

Thinking of this, the light in Jia Hu's eyes flashed, and then he quickly looked through the account books. Suddenly his eyes stopped: "The Rakshasa people robbed 11 cattle and sheep?"

Li Si: "Yes."

Jia Hu frowned. It seemed that the information was wrong. There must have been more than [-] Raksha people who entered Heilongjiang.

At this moment, a soldier who was on guard duty outside hurriedly walked in and reported: "Commander, the sentry camp brought back a group of Monan Mongolians, saying they are the messengers of the Xilingol League."

Jia Hu: "Oh? What's the matter?"

The soldier: "He said that the matter is of great importance, and he asked to meet the commander immediately!"

Jia Hu smiled: "Then ask him to come in."

The soldiers responded with a "yes", turned around and left quickly.

After a while, a tall, middle-aged Mongolian man in his forties was brought in.

The man stepped forward to salute Jia Hu, respectfully: "Albugu, the messenger of the Xilin Gol League, pays his respects to Ning Guogong."

Jia Hu waved his hand: "Messenger, please sit down!"

"The villain sent a letter to Duke Ning at the order of King Khan." Albugu took out a letter from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

The soldiers stepped forward to take the letter and presented it to Jia Hu.

Jia Hu took the letter, tore it open and read it. He was startled for a moment, then he read the letter quietly, put the letter on the big case, and asked with a smile: "How is your body, King Khan?"

Albugue was slightly startled, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Please remember, King Khan is still strong. He eats a leg of lamb and drinks three bowls of kumiss for every meal."

Jia Hu smiled: "King Khan means to hope that the imperial court will allocate all the pastures east of Kulun to the Xilin Gol League, is that true?"

All the generals were shocked, and all glared at Albuquerque.

Albugou didn't care and replied with a smile: "Including Cullen."

The faces of all the generals changed and they all looked at Jia Hu. As soon as he spoke, they immediately pulled this reckless guy out and chopped him into pieces!
Jia Hu remained silent, but asked, "Then I'd like to hear the great secret that your King Khan said."

Albugue looked at Li Si and the others.

Jia Hu: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"To be honest, the Raksha people sent envoys long before your country. Not only did they promise to give us this large pasture, but they also promised [-] self-generating guns and [-] cannons."

"What about the conditions?"

"Cooperate with them to eliminate the Horqin Mongolian tribes, and then raid the Zhou army in Liaodong."

"How did you know that I was in Uliasutai?" Jia Hu asked suddenly.

As soon as he said this, all the generals looked at him with surprise and suspicion.

Albugu smiled lightly: "The cavalry under the Duke's command are good at running for thousands of miles. When we learned from the court envoy that the Duke was leading the army, our King Khan guessed it."

All the generals looked at each other and fell silent.

Jia Hu's eyes flashed and he asked again: "What are the conditions?"

Albugu understood and said to Jia Hu: "We know that this request is somewhat unreasonable. If the Duke agrees to allocate this pasture to us, in return, our Khan will not only provide Rakshasa for the army by agreeing to form an alliance. People's intelligence will also cooperate with the army to attack the Rakshasa people at critical moments.

I don't know what Ning Guogong thinks? "

Jia Hu looked at him: "Have you formed an alliance with the Raksha people?"

Albugu nodded: "We are not the Horqin League, and we are not capable of resisting the Rakshasa people."

Jia Hu smiled: "You are planning to take both ends!"

Arbugu said awkwardly: "We can't afford to offend Dazhou and Rakshasa. The Rakshasa envoy said that they have 2 main forces in Heilongjiang, and they can go south at any time. We bribed a Raksha nobleman and got a lot of money from him." According to news, Governor Rakshasa transferred a cavalry force of [-] people from the mainland.

By the way, they also have an army of prisoners, about 2 people. These people came from the north and have entered the jurisdiction of the vice capital of Heilongjiang. "

Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The land we have conquered belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. I have no right to decide this matter. I must get His Majesty's will."

Albuquerque was taken aback for a moment: "How long will it take?"

Jia Hu: "A month and a half."

Albugue rolled his eyes: "One month. Express it in [-] miles!"

"Okay. At that time, the imperial decree will be sent directly to your royal court."

"Okay! I will return to the royal court to report to King Khan and wait for His Majesty's imperial edict."

Arbugu hesitated for a while, and then said: "We will provide the army with information on the Raksha people during this period. Farewell!" With a salute, he turned and walked out.

Looking at his back, Jia Hu sneered. Compared with the Horqin Mongolian tribes, he hated such scumbags. In any case, the Horqin Mongolian tribes had always been loyal to the Manchu and Qing Tartars.

There was silence in the hall.

After a long time, Wang Dalei couldn't bear it anymore: "Marshal, do we really want to give them such a large piece of land?"

Jia Hu: "This is something the court has to consider."

Wang Dalei: "But."

Jia Hu waved his hand: "From now on, this land will belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the Monan Mongolian grassland." Speaking of which, he stood up, walked to the map, and pointed at Ku Lun, "Wait no more. The camp will be set up in an hour , the army went straight to Cullen."
