Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

It is said that Dushihuoer was a great hero in the battle to pacify Khorchin, and he should be given some face, but the Great Khan Lianhua flatly refused. "God has the virtue of loving life, and I have always been merciful. But if I pardon those who have committed heinous crimes, it would be cruel to the kind people. I am afraid that the Eternal Heaven will punish them. Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili have forgotten their ancestors, flattered the Qing Dynasty, and killed their own people. They are really guilty of heinous crimes. It is better to maintain the original proposal and kill their descendants as a sacrifice to the heaven, confiscate their property, and reward their women. Warriors who have made meritorious contributions in the battle will be enslaved; in addition, Erdeni, the Duolo prince of the Left Wing Middle Banner, Ozir, the Zasaktu Bingtu prince of the Left Wing Front Banner, Ejinyin, the Zasaktu Duolo prince of the Left Wing Back Banner, Zhangjilun, the Heshuo Tushetu prince of the Right Wing Middle Banner, Shajin, and Ozir, the Duolo prince of the Right Wing Front Banner, are all deeply connected with the pseudo-Qing Dynasty and should also be punished. Each family will only be left with a pasture of ten miles in radius, twenty horses, thirty cattle, one thousand sheep, and twenty slaves, and all other property will be confiscated.

On the surface, the Great Khan hated these Mongolian traitors who were attached to the Qing Dynasty and wanted to punish them severely to boost morale. The real reason was two-fold: first, he wanted to register the people in the south of the desert, and the existence of these aristocratic forces was a huge obstacle to reform, so he took the opportunity to eliminate them; second, for the silver. The war had been going on until now, and the treasury was empty. In order to solve the financial difficulties, the Minister of Revenue Xue Zongzhou ordered the Mint to cast an additional 300,000 strings of Qianyuan Tongbao, which were soon spent. He ordered Xue Zongzhou to cast another 1 million strings, but the annual mine output was only so large, where would the extra copper come from? Xue Zongzhou proposed to add more trading ports, set up 16 tea and horse stations on the border, vigorously develop trade with Russia, India, Persia, Annan (Vietnam), Bhutan (a vassal of the Wei state, with a Wei army stationed there), Sikkim, Nanzhang (Laos), Siam (Thailand), Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and other countries, and set up three customs offices in the newly acquired Liaodong area, namely Jinzhou Zhongzuo (Lüshun), Ningyuan Zhongzuo (Tashanbao), and Fuzhou Xiaojiadaoguan, and vigorously develop trade with Western countries such as Ryukyu, Korea, Japan, Johor (Malaysia), Brunei, Java (Indonesia), Sulu (Sulu Islands, Palawan Island, etc. and northeastern Sabah, Malaysia), Luzon (Philippines), Temasek (Singapore) and Portugal. Sultan naturally knew the profits of developing foreign trade. He set up the Hailusi Yamen in the Ministry of Revenue to manage the sea and land trade ports and collect tariffs. He also changed all the tea and horse offices to land customs, which were parallel to the customs. However, it takes time to increase tariffs significantly, and David's country has too few sea trade ports. It can only be considered to have an outlet after taking Liaodong. At present, there are only three customs. It is difficult to rely on tariffs to improve financial difficulties in the short term, so the hope is to confiscate the property of the Mongolian traitors who are attached to the Qing Dynasty. Wu Keshan, Manzhu Xili and others are relatives of the Qing Dynasty. They have a rich family background. If they are confiscated and put into the national treasury, they will greatly alleviate the financial difficulties. Therefore, the Great Khan flatly rejected the plea of ​​the meritorious officials.

"Great Khan," Dushhuoer wanted to persuade him again.

"I will make my own decision on this matter. You may leave first," the Great Khan's face darkened and he waved his hand gently.

Dushihuoer dared not say anything more and could only bow and leave.

"Good wine, good wine!" In the palace of the Left Wing Middle Banner of Horqin, the Duke of Duoluo, no, the commoner Erdeni, was drinking strong wine. The poisonous flowers are the most beautiful, the strong wine is the most fragrant, how to relieve worries, only Du Kang.

"Your Highness, you should be more open-minded. Drinking too much is harmful to your health," someone suddenly advised.

"Uh~" Erdeni burped and squinted at the person who came. It was Dushuhuoer who surrendered to Wei and was conferred the title of Prince of Khorchin.

He hated this man very much! If this man had not turned against him, how could the Khorchin tribe be defeated so badly? How could he and his people end up like this? But he couldn't offend him. He and his people had been demoted to commoners. Now among the relatives of the Khorchin tribe, only this man was in a high position and had power. Everyone had to rely on his protection to survive. Erdeni was not a bold person, otherwise he would not have surrendered when he saw that the situation was hopeless. But he didn't expect that he would be demoted to a commoner and his property would be confiscated after surrendering. Now there are dozens of people in the family. After the house was confiscated, only pastures within a radius of ten miles, twenty horses, thirty cows, one thousand sheep, and twenty slaves were left. However, the families of Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili were even worse. They couldn't become commoners. Their descendants were about to be beheaded and sacrificed to the gods. Their property was confiscated, and their female relatives were rewarded as slaves to warriors who had made meritorious contributions in the war. Fortunately, Dushihuoer thought of the feelings of his relatives and sent one thousand taels of silver to each family, so that life was better. "Prince? You are wrong. You are the prince now, and I am just a commoner. I still need your care to save my life," he said with a wry smile.

Hearing the sarcasm in Erdeni's words, Dushihuoer blushed and said with a forced smile: "According to seniority, I am your cousin, so don't joke with me. This time I came here to discuss with you how to rescue my cousins ​​and nephews. If you don't find a way, they will be sacrificed to the gods!"

His cousins ​​and nephews, that is, Erdeni's uncles and cousins, refer to the descendants of Wu Kesan and Manzhu Xili. Upon hearing this, Erdeni put away his sarcasm and asked tremblingly: "Does my uncle really want to save them?"

"What are you talking about? After all, they are all my relatives! The reason I surrendered to the Wei Army was to preserve our Khorchin tribe. The Wei Army is powerful, and the Great Khan Lianhua is a rare hero. The unification of Mongolia is the general trend. If we don't surrender early, given our relationship with the Qing Dynasty, how can we benefit from the Wei Army after it occupies the Khorchin grassland?" Dushhuoer explained to him the reason why he surrendered to the Wei Army.

"Since you knew we were all relatives, why didn't you tell us when your uncle started the rebellion? Why did you return to Wei alone?" Erdeni asked dissatisfiedly.

"My dear nephew, if I tell you my plan to surrender to Wei, will you let me go? I'm afraid not only will you not return to Wei with me, but you will also kidnap me and hand me over to the Qing Dynasty. How dare I tell you?" Dushhuoer smiled bitterly.

Erdeni blushed. For decades, they had been treated as relatives of the Qing Dynasty and had received a lot of benefits. Naturally, they were unwilling to surrender to the Wei Dynasty. Dushihuoer was right. If he dared to tell the Qing Dynasty about his intention to surrender, he would be tied up and sent to the Qing court for punishment. Thinking of this, he softened his tone and asked in a low voice, "How do you plan to save them, uncle?"

"The old way, marriage. Our Khorchin tribe prospered by marrying with the Qing Dynasty, so naturally we can prosper by marrying with David. If the Khan marries a noble lady from Khorchin, he will naturally feel embarrassed to be cruel to my brothers and nephews."

"Marriage?" Erdeni nodded first, then shook his head, "It's a good idea, but the noble ladies of our Khorchin tribe are either married or engaged, so there are no suitable candidates." (End of this chapter)
