Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the third day of October in the 14th year of Huaxia Wucheng, according to Zheng Kezang's will, the Huaxia Cabinet and the Ministry of Officials were ordered to make a large-scale resolution to adjust the administrative regions of the country.According to the resolution, the Raozhou Prefecture in Jiangxi was assigned to West Zhejiang, Ruizhou Prefecture and Linjiang Prefecture were reset; Zhili Prefecture, Zhoushan, has jurisdiction over Changguo, Putuo, and Daishan counties; He County, Guilin Prefecture, has been promoted to Hezhou Zhili Prefecture, and Fuchuan and Zhongshan counties have jurisdiction; Xiang County, Liuzhou Prefecture, has been promoted to Xiangzhou Zhili Prefecture, with jurisdiction over Jin Xiu and Xiang counties; Pingliang prefecture was transferred to Shaanxi; Qingyang prefecture and Shuofang governor's residence were moved to Banqiao; the capital of Longxi was moved from Lanzhou to Liangzhou; South; Daming Prefecture was changed to Shandong; Yizhou Zhili Prefecture was changed to North Hebei; Gu'an County was promoted to Gu'an Prefecture, with jurisdiction over Langfang, Yongding (Yongqing), Ba County, Xiong County, Zhuo County (state), Dingxing, etc. Six counties; Qing Daning Province was changed to Liaoning Province

On the fifth day of October, in order to show its gentleness to the various ministries of Mongolia, the Huaxia court announced that in addition to the Huaxia title and Tusi system, it would follow the Qing court system to establish a separate Mongolian title, in order of Khan, County King, First-class Township Duke, and Second-class Township The Duke of the State, the Duke of the Third Town, the Duke of the First Rank, the Duke of the Second Rank, the Duke of the Third Rank, the Duke of Anguo the First Rank, the Duke of Anguo the Second Rank, and the Duke of Anguo the Third Rank are equivalent to the Prince and County of China respectively. King, State Duke, County Duke, County Duke, County Marquis, County Marquis, County Bo, County Bo, County Son, County Man, Khan, Prince, County King, Baylor, Beizi, Zhen Guo Gong, Fu Guo Gong , First to fourth class Taiwan Kyrgyzstan.

While being gentle with the various tribes of Mongolia, Huaxia also restricted the development of the various tribes of Mongolia, the so-called "Tweet Order".According to the "Tweeting Order", the territories and subjects of the Mongolian princes are separated by the sons, and the sons who inherit the territories and subjects do not need to descend to the nobility, and they can still maintain the title for three generations until there is no territory or subjects to inherit.

In view of the inevitable impact of the Tweeting Order on the quality of life of the Mongolian princes, the Chinese court announced the establishment of a special Mongolian mercenary army, the Yi Congjun, to assist the Xia army in the war.The rebel army does not pay military salaries and needs to prepare their own horses and weapons, but the captives obtained in the war will be distributed to the Mongolian rebels as slaves, and some opportunities to occupy grassland wastelands that are not suitable for reclamation will also be distributed to the rebels according to their merits as territory.

This is an organizational method similar to that of the Cossack Army and the Croatian border defense settlements, and it has the same effect as the free allocation of land along the Yellow River to resettle veterans.Therefore, once it spread, it gained the expectations of quite a few Mongolian nobles and even ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, especially the Chahar banners that were first attacked by the Xia army, and quite a few low-level herdsmen defected to the Xia army's side in winter , to be the vanguard when the Xia army comes to the grassland again next year

"My lord, please speak to the imperial court. It is not our intention to be an enemy of the imperial court. We are actually being coerced by the slaves." Facing the Chinese envoys with only green robes, the Zhaowuda League, which suffered huge losses in the Northern Expedition of China, And the Neizasaks of the Three Banners of Harqin crouched like sheep. "I also ask the envoy to convey to the imperial court the last resort of each flag." While speaking, the leader of the alliance held up a list with both hands and presented it to the envoy's feet. "This is a wish from Zhao Wuda League and Zhuo Suo Tu League, please accept it."

"What a great deal, 150 fine horses, 300 taels of gold, and ten strings of East Pearls." The Chinese envoy who received the gift list burst into laughter after reading it. "It's just that the banner owners thought that this official came to Zhaomeng and Zhuomeng through the wind and snow just for these things. It's ridiculous, ridiculous!" Although the tone was flat, the tent that was as warm as spring suddenly seemed to be frozen by the strong wind It generally became dead silent, leaving only the extremely suppressed breathing of the Mongols. "Where are the two Zhuoyun Dagen (League Leaders), the ministers of Zhaomeng and Zhuomeng?" The Qing court had two ministers of affairs in each Mongolian alliance. One was a Manchu, the other was a Mongol. Of course the envoy was referring to the former. "If you want to surrender sincerely, then hand him over first."

"Master's lesson," the Mongol reported back in an extremely hasty voice. "I heard that the soldiers of the imperial court entered Chengde, and the Buddhas also changed their words, and the ministers who were in charge of the Manchus had already fled."

"Escaped?" The Huaxia envoy laughed. "Well, it looks like you don't trust each other?"

The Mongols didn’t dare speak up, so the Huaxia envoy continued to smile: “In this way, it’s useless to say anything now. I was ordered to repatriate the captured princes of the Zhao League. See, you go back to discuss and discuss, after the discussion, come to see me again, remember, I will only stay in Chifeng for three days, and I will not wait when it is overdue."

In less than three days, early the next morning, the Mongols, who had negotiated overnight, appeared in front of the Chinese envoy one by one: "Please report to the emperor, after the spring, all the bannermen of the Zhao League and Zhuo League will go to The capital pays homage to the great emperor to show our Mongolian submission to the imperial court."

"This is excellent." The Huaxia envoy nodded. "Just what if Jiannu sends someone to contact me this winter?"

The Mongols looked at each other and immediately cursed and swore: "We will definitely send the bondage to Chengde and hand it over to the imperial court."

"It's best like this, but if it can't be done, don't blame the heavenly soldiers coming next year." The messenger's voice was not high, but the frightened Mongol subconsciously lowered his head. "By the way, I heard that the left and right banners of Tumot and Jianlu were a bit dirty because of the reclamation of Daning. Now that Daning is the Liaoning Province of the dynasty, should the owners of the two banners know what to do?"

The two banner owners hurriedly responded: "Understood, I understand, I will evacuate Fuxin and Chaoyang immediately when I get back."

"It doesn't have to be like this. The Holy One has already made a decree. Not all places can be reclaimed. The grasslands must be preserved, and the mountains and forests must also be preserved. As long as they don't violate each other and exchange what is needed." The envoy said this, and he didn't feel relieved. The flag masters of the two banners glanced at each other, and just took care of the leaders of the two alliances. "The imperial court is also very concerned about the movements of Zhelimu and Xilin Gol. If Zhaomeng and Zhuomeng can persuade them to make a pilgrimage to our emperor together, it will be more useful than bringing any tribute."

"Angel, please rest assured, we will definitely find a way to persuade the two alliances, but the Horqin Banners have the most intermarriages with Jiannu"

"If you refuse to accept Wang Hua, then kill Jiji directly." The envoy waved his hand lightly. "It just so happens that the imperial court is preparing to further colonize the surrounding areas of the Xiliao River, so it will save trouble at that time."

It was Zheng Kezang's intention to colonize the West Liaohe River and establish Tongliao Zhili Prefecture. The purpose was to expand the area of ​​​​Liaoning Province and hand over the three alliances in eastern Inner Mongolia to Liaoning Province. The banners of the Chabu League are managed by Shuofang Province, and the Mongolian tribe of Qinghai is managed by Longxi Province.As for the farther Outer Khalkha Tribes, Huaxia is temporarily unable to take care of them.

Hearing the murderous words of the Chinese envoy, the leaders of the two alliances had no choice but to respond: "I will understand later."

Huaxia has no way to take into account Outer Mongolia, but the top and bottom of the Khalkha Tribunal, who have already learned from the defeated soldiers that the Qing court is about to fall, are already thinking about their future.

Facing the threat of the Zhungeer Empire directly, the Zhasaktu Khan tribe lost the support of the Qing Dynasty. The Zhasaktu Khan tribe could only choose a new ally, but the emerging China was Russia in the north. People made the princes of the Nineteen Banners of Zhasaktu Khan's tribe quarrel, and there was no way to make a decision for a while.

The Tuxietu Khan tribe is the most powerful of the three tribes in Wai Khalkha, with 37 banners. Since there are many people and a large area, Tuxietu Khan Wang Zaledorji feels that he has lost the suppression of the Qing court. It is a good thing for him, or he can take the opportunity to unify the entire Outer Khalkha Mongolia, and coexist with China, Jungar, and Russia as an independent steppe empire.

With ambition, Wang Zaledorji was busy in the winter, ordered all the banners to reorganize their troops, and contacted the Russians to buy weapons, but only worried about Jebtsundamba Hutuktu and the other two Khans. The opposition and the bad weather temporarily forbeared, trying to delay the next spring and then lay the foundation in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, the first Jebtsundamba Hutuktuluo Sangdanbei Gyaltsan was Zanabazar, the son of Wanzaldorji’s great-grandfather Gonpo Dorji, and his relationship with Wangzaledorji’s uncle , There is every reason to support the Tuxietu Khan's unification of the grasslands.However, Luo Sangdanbei insisted on his heart to the Qing Dynasty and believed that Bogda Khan was the great Khan of the Mongols. Therefore, Wang Zaledorji could only secretly prepare behind the back of this political and religious leader who was deeply worshiped by all walks of life in the grassland. everything.

Among the other two tribes in Waikalka, Wangzaldorji is not most afraid of the more powerful Zasaktu Khan tribe. In his opinion, the Zasaktu Khan tribe, which is threatened by Zhungeer, is still very easy. Recovered, but the Chechen Khan is different.The Chechen Khan had only twelve banners in the Kangxi Dynasty, and was the weakest of the three Khalkha tribes. Moreover, the relationship between the Khan King Umoke of this tribe and the Qing court was not good, but this tribe was the most likely Investing in China has a long history.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Chechen Khan Ministry, the first subject of the Ministry was Chahar Lindan Khan, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan.In the ninth year of Huang Taiji Tiancong, Hou Jin's army defeated Lin Danhan, and Chechen Khan Shuo Lei was forced to pay tribute to Hou Jin instead.In the first year of Chongde, Hou Jin accused Chechen Khan of conducting trade with the Chinese Ming Dynasty and threatened to use force against it. Chechen Khan had no choice but to cut off trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between Chechen Khan and the Qing court began to deteriorate.In the third year of Shunzhi, Chechen Khan Shuolei, who was repeatedly oppressed by the Qing court, once induced the Sunite tribe of Monan Mongolia to betray the Qing Dynasty and sent [-] troops to help it resist the Qing army. However, the two coalition forces were defeated by the Qing army. The Khan suffered a great loss and had to resume paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

Shuo Lei died, and his son Babu succeeded Khan. At that time, the Qing Dynasty divided Khalkha Mongolia into eight Zasaks on the left and right, and appointed Chechen Khan to lead one of the left-wing Zasaks.From one of the three chiefs to one of the eight Zasaks, the loss during the period is conceivable.It was just that in the 27th year of Kangxi, Galdan invaded eastward, and Umoke, who had just taken over as King Khan, was young and unable to command his troops to resist. In order to protect the whole family, the ruling Namzhal Taiji had no choice but to attach himself to the Qing court.

Now that the Chechen Khan might fall to China, Wang Zaledorji eagerly started to win over Umoke, but no one is a fool, and in his eagerness he could only expose his intention to become the Great Khan of Khalkha. Wangzal Dorje had no choice but to be patient and draw pictures slowly.
