Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

It was early spring in February, the sixth year of Xuanwu in the Ming Dynasty.

It is said to be early spring, but due to the higher dimension of Coulomb, the temperature at this time is still quite cold, and it has not yet warmed up.

There is a thick layer of snow outside that is almost up to the ankles, and the icicles on the eaves are crystal clear and extremely beautiful.

The temperature is still 20 to 30 degrees below zero!
The spring breeze mixed with moisture howled inside and outside Culun, and pedestrians on the street shivered from the cold wind.

Kulun, the palace of the Grand Duke of Manchu and Mongolia.

Saying it is a palace is actually Yongxuan trying to put money on his face. In fact, this is just a few mud houses connected together.

Not to mention compared with the Forbidden City, even compared with the palace in Shengjing, the specifications are much different.

Yongxuan was wearing single clothes and sitting cross-legged on an earthen kang. There was a burning stove in front of him.

It's freezing outside, but it's as warm as spring inside.

With a knock on the door, Fan Boyong walked in from outside, came to Yongxuan's side, and spoke.

"Master, the Mongolian princes from all tribes in Southern and Northern Mongolia have arrived in Kulun!"

"They are waiting for your reception!"

Originally, the Mongolian princes were just talking about Yongxuan's Manchu and Mongolian Grand Duchy, and had no real plans to support Yongxuan's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

However, as the news spread that the Ming army marched north to the grasslands last winter and massacred several small Mongolian tribes, these Mongolian princes could not sit still.

After receiving another call from Yongxuan, they set off one after another and led their troops to Kulun.

Prepare to discuss the communist resistance to the Ming army!

And Yongxuan was naturally regarded as their backbone.

As the Khalkha Tribe was attacked and destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, the Horqin Tribe became the most loyal lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the rule of the Golden Family on the grassland collapsed.

The gold content of the banner of the Golden Family is also constantly declining.

Until now, not many people continue to take the Golden Family seriously.

Currently, the only Manchu who is qualified to command various ministries on the grassland and make them obey his orders is Yongxuan.

A group of Mongolians could not convince each other, but instead wanted to push a Manchu to take charge, which is ironic!
And this is exactly what Qianlong left behind!
Qianlong ruled the world for decades, often traveling between the grasslands and the pass, and had deep connections with all tribes in the grasslands.

It has great prestige on the grassland.

Now that Qianlong has passed away, his prestige has naturally been inherited to Yongxuan.

As the only surviving descendant of Qianlong, Yongxuan is qualified to command all the grassland ministries and let them fight together.

Yongxuan heard Fan Boyong's report and nodded slightly.

"Come here, help me change my clothes."

Yongxuan was going to change clothes and then go to meet the princes of various Mongolian tribes.

……

Soon, the news of Yongxuan's meeting with the Mongolian prince was passed to Bores by Fan Boyong.

"Lord Governor!"

"Yongxuan, the Grand Duke of Manchuria and Mongolia, is meeting with the princes of various Mongolian tribes. I believe it won't take long before we can organize an anti-Ming coalition."

"At that time, the entire Mongolian grassland will become the territory of the empire."

Upon hearing this, Bores put down his work, glanced at Fan Boyong from the corner of his eye, and then gave instructions.

"Mr. Lao Fan needs to keep an eye on it. I need to know what Yongxuan and those Mongolian princes talked about."

Hearing this, Fan Boyong immediately nodded in agreement, then turned around and left.

About an hour passed, and Fan Boyon returned to report to Porres.

"My Lord Governor, the negotiations between Yongxuan and the Mongolian prince are not going very smoothly."

The Borres celebrity brought two cups of coffee, and he sent one cup to Fan Boyong, and then motioned for Fan Boyong to sit down and speak slowly.

Fan Boyong sat down and then spoke.

"Sir Governor, although the Mongolian princes agreed to form an anti-Ming coalition, they expressed opposition to the requirement that they contribute money to support the empire's five thousand guards."

"The attitude is very firm!"

The meaning of those Mongolian princes was very clear. It was okay to resist the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty was their common enemy.

But if you want to take money out of their pockets to raise troops for Tsarist Russia, that's out of the question.

They are not taken advantage of!

Bores couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

If those Mongolian princes really refused to contribute money and effort to help him raise troops, then there was nothing he could do.

Because based on Tsarist Russia's current logistics capabilities in Siberia, they are unable to support five thousand Guards troops on the premise of supporting the original Siberian garrison.

If you use robbery, it will not work either.

Because the Mongolian grassland is so big, if Tsarist Russia dares to send troops to rob it, the Mongols will dare to run away.

Playing tug-of-war with the Mongolians on the Mongolian grasslands is no different from fighting with Maozi in winter.

Not a wise move!

The reason why Tsarist Russia was able to wipe out several Mongolian tribes so quickly before was because those Mongolian tribes were unprepared.

In addition, it was winter at this time, the season of cat winter, so the Mongolians were even more relaxed.

Having said that, as long as those Mongolian tribes can take precautions, Tsarist Russia's raid will never be successful.

But when Bores saw the hesitant expression on Van Boyon's face, he realized that there might be a chance of a turn in the matter.

"Mr. Fan, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Seeing this, Fan Boyong stopped refusing and spoke directly.

"But after Yongxuan's arguments, the Mongolian princes relaxed a little and said that if we can agree to a few conditions, then it is not a matter of asking them to provide food, grass and weapons for the imperial army. Not negotiable.”

When Boles heard this, his frown eased slightly, and then he asked.

"Tell me, what conditions did they put forward!"

If the conditions are not excessive, Bores will consider agreeing.

Fan Boyon carefully glanced at Bores's face, and then spoke.

"Those Mongolian princes asked them to garrison troops in Kulun and arrange guards and ministers around Yongxuan..."

When Boles heard this, he raised his eyebrows at first, and then smiled.

In an instant, he realized that Yongxuan was probably jumping up and down a lot during this incident.

He is not willing to really be a puppet of the empire, but wants to introduce the power of the Mongols to create a balance.

Fan Boyong has been staying with Yongxuan for such a long time, but he has not reported this matter.

It seems that Fan Boyong's role in this matter is not very glorious!
However, Bores's ability to sneak into the position of governor of a place is still somewhat prestigious.

Although he was angry at the backstabbing of Fan Boyong and Yongxuan, he did not act out on the spot. Instead, his face was slightly gloomy, and he lowered his head to think about the pros and cons of this matter.

The reason why Fan Boyong chose to stab Tsarist Russia in the back this time actually had his own considerations.

The simplest truth is that triangles are the most stable.

Secondly, it is better for two poles to compete than to dominate one family. What Fan Boyong is doing now is to give Yongxuan the power to compete with Bores.

Because only in this way can a balance be reached between the two parties.

Only when a balance is maintained between the two parties can the importance of Fan Boyon be revealed.

Otherwise, Fan Boyong really doesn't think that he is a sounding board and is really irreplaceable.

After a moment, Bores spoke.

"Mr. Lao Fan will tell Yong Xuan that I can agree to the Mongols' request."

"However, the food and grass supplies promised by the Mongols must be received as soon as possible."

"Her Majesty's five thousand Guards have now arrived in Barnaul and are expected to arrive in Cullen this summer."

"Before this, the food and grass supplies needed by the army must be arranged in advance."

The main reason why Bores agreed so neatly was because Ming Dynasty's economic sanctions on Tsarist Russia were now in effect.

After Zhu Jing'an ordered a ban on trade with Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia suffered heavy losses in terms of economic interests.

St. Petersburg has expressed serious concerns about this.

Therefore, Bores was a little anxious to break the situation.

If he wanted to break the situation, he would either have to make concessions to the Ming Dynasty on territorial issues, or go south to fight the Ming army and open up the situation on the battlefield.

Not surprisingly, Porres chose the second option.

Because of this, he urgently needed the support of various Mongolian ministries, so he could satisfy Yongxuan's little thoughts so easily.

When Fan Boyong heard this, he looked stern at first, and then spoke.

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, I understand!"

He felt the threat from Bores's gaze. At this moment, Fan Boyon knew in his heart that Bores really knew everything.

After saying this, Fan Boyong resigned from Bores and then went to Yongxuan, preparing to report Bores's attitude to Yongxuan.

Soon, he came to Yongxuan and repeated the matter to Yongxuan.

After Yongxuan heard the words, he first showed a thoughtful expression, and then spoke.

"very good!"

"In this case, Gu can get out of the current predicament."

"And Mr. Fan, you will really have the real power and status of a military aircraft foreman. We no longer need to be a puppet for the Rakshasa people."

When saying this, Yongxuan could not help but show excitement.

The two looked at each other and nodded, feeling uncontrollably excited in their hearts.

Yongxuan immediately ordered to invite the Mongolian princes to prepare for discussions with them.

Discuss the matter of various ministries contributing money and effort to jointly support Tsarist Russian foreign troops and the formation of an anti-Ming coalition.

……

In Datong City, the Ming Army camp!
The Ming army sentries who went to perform reconnaissance missions on the grassland returned to Datong dusty, bringing two pieces of bad news to Zhu Jing'an.

First, all the Mongolian princes on the grasslands have gone to Kulun, preparing to discuss the formation of an anti-Ming coalition with Yongxuan and the Siberian governor of Tsarist Russia.

Daming is afraid that he will face a very serious test next!

Secondly, due to the abundant snowfall last winter, the grasslands are now being cultivated, and there is mud everywhere, making the roads difficult to pass.

If the Ming army goes north to the grassland at this time, transportation will become the biggest obstacle!

Judging from the current situation, it will take at least ten days and a half before the road is completely dry.

In other words, it will take ten days and a half before the Ming army can start moving north.

Zhu Jing'an didn't have any good ideas for this.

The only thing we can do is to continue to write about the capital and let the capital continue to transfer various grain, grass, baggage, and ordnance materials to Datong City.

In order to ensure that there will be no problems with the logistics of the Ming army in this battle.

In addition, just in case, Zhu Jing'an also ordered the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to strengthen the defense along the Great Wall.

In order to prevent Tsarist Russia and Mongolia from taking advantage of the Ming army to harass the pass and threaten the capital.

Of course, there is good news.

That is, after the beginning of spring, the Ming army successively recovered several provinces such as Liaoning and Jilin in eastern Liaoning, and Gansu in the northwest.

Moreover, the Ming army continued to march into Heilongjiang, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places.

The remaining Qing troops in various places resisted to varying degrees, but they were all suppressed by the Ming troops.

In addition, the remnants of the White Lotus Religious Army have entered Xinjiang and clashed with local religious forces and the Qing army.

It is said that the fighting was very intense!
……

Time has entered the sixth year of Xuanwu. The situation in the world has been changing rapidly, and there are many conflicts in various places.

But the capital of the Ming Dynasty looked like it was prosperous and prosperous.

Before dawn, there was a long queue outside the capital, and merchants and people were preparing to line up to enter the city.

It can be said that there is a huge flow of people!

The golden morning sun shines from a distance and shines on the tall and majestic city walls of the capital, turning the blue-gray city walls into a golden color.

A well-known sergeant stood at the top of the capital city, his sharp eyes scanning around, full of vigilance.

With a creak, the city gate slowly opened, and merchants and people preparing to enter the city lined up at the city gate.

However, someone suddenly let out an exclamation, pointed to a notice posted at the city gate, and spoke.

"Is the salary for workers recruited by the imperial court so good now?"

There is an official document posted on the notice board at the city gate. The title of the official document is "Recruitment" in two bright big characters.

"In order to facilitate north-south transportation and commercial exchanges, the imperial court decided to build a railway line running from north to south along the canal."

"In order to meet the needs of railway construction, we are deliberately recruiting a number of workers with preferential treatment on a first-come, first-served basis."

A scholar dressed as a scholar stood in front of the official document and read aloud.

"A common worker earns one silver dollar per month, including food and accommodation. He has one day off every ten days, and the court issues corresponding work clothes and labor protection tools."

"Technical workers earn two silver dollars per month, including food and accommodation, and enjoy four-person high-end dormitories. They eat meat once every ten days and take a day off from bathing. The court also issues corresponding work clothes and labor protection tools..."

"The imperial court is recruiting workers, with preferential treatment, first come, first served!"

As the scholar shouted, someone from the crowd stood up and asked.

"Master, may I ask what a railway is? Does it use iron to build roads?"

Nowadays, railways are still a new thing.

Many people in Nanjing may know about it, but not many people in Beijing really know about it.

Hearing this, the scholar opened his mouth to explain.

"The railway does not use iron to pave the road, but uses rails to connect it into a road that can be used by trains, and is connected with sleepers in the middle..."

"A car traveling on it can travel thousands of miles in a day!" (End of Chapter)
