New Shun 1730

On the hill, when Daze Lingdundub was sent over, Liu Yu was questioning several special prisoners.

The Pole Bolshevski's horse was hit by artillery during the charge. He was lucky enough to not be trampled to death by the cavalry behind him after falling off the horse, but his arm was broken.

The Swede Lenat readily chose to surrender and asked Liu Yu if he could take a boat back to Sweden via Guangdong.

The remaining Russian prisoners were called over by Boris and muttered something.

Looking at the various prisoners, Liu Yu felt that it was really a bit like fighting against a multinational coalition.

Swedes, Poles, Russians, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Mongols... There are quite a few such people in the Junggar army.

Liu Yu agreed to Lenat very readily, because Lenat could provide all the information about the copper mines near Lake Issyk-Kul. Copper is not cheap nowadays, and the copper mines in Lake Issyk-Kul are still worth a boat ticket back to Sweden.

I seem to have heard that Sweden has also opened an East India Company, and just sent a ship to Guangdong for trade last year. This can be agreed to.

His cannon casting skills are outdated, and artillery tactics have lagged behind for decades, so they are useless.

But Liu Yu was not so straightforward with Bolshewski.

A Polish nobleman who has been playing with lances since childhood, Bolshewski can ride a horse and poke rabbits with a lance.

He wants to form a lance cavalry. In the future, lance cavalry will still be very useful for charging the formation, especially in plains.

The main purpose is to sort out the fighting and lance skills of the Polish cavalry, and to integrate the East and the West in order to achieve superior victory.

Some Cossacks captured in the battle in the north can also use lances, but their skills are much worse.

There are also many generals in the country who use lances, which can be integrated. In the future, lance cavalry will be more suitable for charging infantry phalanxes.

The training of lance cavalry is more complicated. They must be able to charge the formation and fight against cavalry. The enemies around Dashun are temporarily unable to launch a musket battle of tens of thousands of people.

To conquer the South Seas, East Seas and even India, you still need to take the route of elite troops. For long-distance operations, the carrying capacity is limited, so the more elite the better.

After asking Bolshevsky, Bolshevsky wanted to go back very much. Liu Yu laughed and asked someone to suppress him first.

Not long after, Daze Lingdun Duobu was escorted over.

"Daze Lingdun Duobu is so old?"

Liu Yu muttered to himself after glancing at Daze Lingdun Duobu who was brought over.

The famous general in front of him was really old, and his spirit was completely scattered. He looked like an old man in his twilight years.

His right eye was red and swollen, probably glaucoma or some other eye disease, and he took out a handkerchief from time to time to wipe the corner of his eye.

His round figure was very characteristic of the Choros family, and his face was full of wrinkles from wind and frost, and it was dark.

This man had created a miracle in military history. Six thousand people set out from Yili, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, bypassed the Taklimakan Desert, passed through Aksai Chin, crossed the snow-capped mountains, and went straight to Lhasa, where they successfully beheaded the enemy.

It can be said that he had turned over the most difficult uninhabited areas in the world, and he was indeed quite capable.

But after this great defeat, the former glory and vigor were all gone, and he was exhausted.

Liu Yu did not have much respect for him, nor did he think that catching this man was a great achievement.

After this battle, the Western Regions basically meant no major wars, and the rest was political layout and balance of power, which was the real difficulty.

But this man advocated anti-Russia and suppressed Yarkand and Kazakhstan, which was still useful for Liu Yu's conception of the Western Regions.

Liu Yu was an atheist and had no good feelings towards the Yellow Sect.

But compared with the black hats, white hats, and flower hats in Kazakhstan and Yarkand, there was a Yellow Sect area stuck west of the Hexi Corridor, and it could only be said that it was the lesser of two evils.

The Hanafi sect in Xijing and other places, and the Sufi sect in Yarkand and other places, it is better to have a Yellow Sect corridor between them.

Looking at the age of Daze Lingdun Duobu, Liu Yu felt that he could still talk.

At this age, he should be indifferent to life and death. How many more years can he live?

As the general pillar of the Junggar tribe and the nephew of Junggar, if he really doesn't want to talk, he should choose to commit suicide, or escape and fight again.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu also asked Jiaolaobutu what was going on, and asked the guards to bring an empty gunpowder barrel as a stool, and prepared some hot water to soak the warm handkerchief and send it over.

Daze Lingdun Duobu thanked him and wanted to say something, but Liu Yu waved his hand.

After waiting for a while, when Zhang Jin and others arrived and someone witnessed that he did not discuss important matters with the other party's commander privately, he said: "Celing Dundub, I don't care why you want to meet His Majesty, but there is one thing I need to make clear. No matter what, I have to cross the Altai Mountains. When a general is away from home, he is not subject to the orders of the king. If you want to negotiate, it will not be too late to talk after my army has crossed the mountain and built a city."

This general is not subject to the orders of the king, which is not to add to the emperor's worries. The emperor will never be stupid enough to really give up such a good opportunity and choose to negotiate.

Da Ce Lingdun Duobu smiled bitterly and said: "You won. The young horse beat the old horse. But if you win, will the world be stable? How many troops can you station here?"

"The Rakshasas in the north, the Kazakhs in the west, the Torghut tribe in the distance, the black hats, white hats and flower hats in the south... The fall of the Junggar will not bring peace to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains for decades. The Junggar is a small country and has never thought of being an enemy of a big country. The Celestial Empire has conquered the Khalkha tribe and occupied the holy land of the snow-capped mountains. The fall of the Junggar is also within my expectations. As long as you are determined, you can always win. But how should the Celestial Empire treat the various pastoral tents of the Junggar?"

For the time being, Liu Yu is not qualified to specify policies on this matter. It depends on what the Tianyou Palace and the emperor think.

But as for what Da Ce Ling Dun Duobu said, Liu Yu agreed with it from the bottom of his heart.

The special holy land environment of the snow-capped mountains is a natural obstacle; the Yellow Sect tradition of the Mongolian Plateau is also a natural obstacle.

The only thing to worry about is the Hexi Corridor. If the Hexi Corridor is occupied, it is equivalent to opening up the road for expansion from north to south.

Through the Hexi Corridor, go south to Yunnan and Guizhou, and east to Gansu and Shaanxi. The missionary route is too easy.

Some traditions of the Hanafi sect are too troublesome, and the emerging Sufi sect has too many advantages in missionary work.

Confucianism cannot defeat any monotheistic religion in semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural areas. If the power of the Junggar tribe is retained, it will be beneficial for Dashun to control the Western Regions.

Immigration... It is not that tens of thousands of people went there with the intention of "guarding the border for the country" at the thought of thinking. Not to mention now, even in the future, how many people will take the initiative to go? Given Dashun's ability to control the grassroots, within 30 years, once the Junggar tribe is destroyed, it is inevitable that the Western Regions will be in chaos.

After thinking about what Da Ce Ling Dun Duo Bu said, Liu Yu tentatively said: "The Heavenly Dynasty has its own preparations for the affairs of the Western Regions. You have also seen that the soldiers are so brave now. If we build cities in the future, as long as there are seven or eight cities, who can attack them?"

"Now that the new army I have trained has won this battle, you should understand what it means."

"It means that from now on, two thousand Han infantry can sweep and suppress the rebellion. If you want to deal with two thousand people, you have to prepare for a large-scale action of more than ten thousand people. That will definitely leak out, and it will not be completed overnight. The Heavenly Dynasty has its own means to protect the peace of the Western Regions."

Faced with the cruel reality, Da Ce Ling Dun Duo Bu was helpless and had to admit it.

Each army could only send out more than a thousand troops at a time. This battle made Da Ce Ling Dun Duo Bu feel desperate, not just because the main force was annihilated and the strategic intention failed.

It was the Qingzhou army's speed of changing formations and its ability to resist cavalry, which meant that from now on, the two thousand Han army could walk sideways between the various tents.

Fewer people means more mobility and shorter preparation time for expedition.

In the past, facing two thousand people, it was possible to gather one or two people in the army and rush forward when the opportunity arose, and then they might win.

Now, to fight these two thousand people, it may take four or five people in the army, or even more. Such a large mobilization can be discovered by any Han general stationed at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the future.

Liu Yu is very good at building cities, and Da Ce Ling Dun Duo Bu knows this.

By then, seven or eight bastions will be locked and more than a thousand people will be stationed. In the future, apart from the cannons of the Zhun tribe at that time, who will have the ability to capture a bastion with more than a thousand people stationed?

If the siege fails and the field battle fails, the two thousand Han army can go everywhere. It seems that in terms of military issues, the issues of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains have been resolved.

However...

Da Ze Ling Dun Duo Bu asked back: "What is left of the Buddhist country in the Western Regions? The Mongol and Kazakh people with turbans, and the Rakshasas in the north are all untrustworthy. The Celestial Empire rules the south of the desert, the Khalkha surrenders, and there is the holy land of the snow-capped mountains. Isn't the Junggar an important cornerstone for stabilizing the Tianshan Mountains in the future?"

"A pasture, the cows left, but the sheep came, the sheep left, and the horses came. Is there any difference? Even if you Han people can farm in the river valley, can you go to the pastures on the mountains?"

Da Ze Ling Dun Duo Bu was very worried. He was worried that after Da Shun destroyed the Junggar, he would support the surrounding Kazakhs, Mongol and other tribes to prevent the Junggar from making a comeback.

In that case, tens of thousands of tribes might die without a burial place.

Even if Da Shun did not kill... the surrounding tribes all had a blood feud with Junggar.

The religious beliefs were completely different. The Junggar defeated Yarkand, but they lacked the ability to make Yarkand give up.

Once the Junggar tribe is defeated, those people will eat the Junggar tribe clean like vultures pecking at carrion.

Liu Yu supports Daze Lingdun Duobu's idea in his heart, and he does not want a power vacuum in the Western Regions.

If the Junggar tribe is there, it can suppress the Kazakhs and the Mongols and can stop them.

If the Junggar tribe is not there, even if there are immigrants every year, the Han people will not have an absolute advantage in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the next 20 to 30 years.

Compared with other tribes, the Junggar tribe is actually very easy to control, relatively speaking.

After all, Dashun has experience in controlling the south of the desert and Khalkha. There is no need for many garrisons, as long as they can ensure that they have an advantage over any tribe.

Splitting, feudalization, and dividing baronies that are not allowed to cross the border can also be implemented in the Junggar tribe.

Now, the Junggar tribe actually still has certain negotiation qualifications.

Fighting costs money. If the Junggar tribe can be surrendered, it will not only be good for the stability of the Western Regions in the future, but also save a lot of money at present.

"Celing Dundub, I can consider what you said. But it seems useless for you to tell me this. The final decision still lies with His Majesty and Tianyou Palace. I personally think that this matter can be discussed in detail."

Ling Dunduobu, the great strategist, glanced at the young Liu Yu and said: "You are good at building and defending cities, and the soldiers in your hands are very powerful. You are so young, your emperor must be planning to let you guard Tianshan... …”

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Liu Yu raised his head and laughed, thinking, there is no way I can come to this place.

Dace Lingdunduobu didn't understand what Liu Yu was laughing about. He felt that based on his experience, this matter was almost inevitable.

Building, defending, and stabilizing the city all require an army like the Qingzhou Army to be the most suitable. No matter how you look at it, Dace Lingdunduobu feels that Liu Yu is the most suitable candidate.

So he wanted to talk to Liu Yu.

After Liu Yu smiled, he said seriously: "I can't make the decision on this matter. However, since you want to leave a way for the quasi-department to survive, it is not impossible to talk about this matter, but there are some points that cannot be overcome when talking about it. "

"First, the Quasi-Ministry must be like Monan Mongolia, splitting up tribes and pastures, accepting titles from the emperor, and not crossing the boundaries of their respective pastures."

"Secondly, some people from the Choros family are going to live in the capital. Wouldn't it be nice to be rewarded and canonized, to serve as the Turkic Khans of the Tang Dynasty, without losing their status as princes, and to have rich descendants?"

"Third, be quick. You can meet the emperor, negotiate terms, and solve the problem as soon as possible. I don't care if you really want a way out, but I will not stop crossing the Altai Mountains. Let's talk if we can. Of course, I don’t want to fight if one general succeeds. If we can’t negotiate, then we will fight. As for the things you mentioned, China will also find a way to solve them.”

"Fourth, don't talk too much about the conditions. The Junbu can stabilize the border, but Monan Mongolia and the Khalkha tribe, don't they like the pastures of the Altai Mountains? Without the Junbu, the Han people will not be nomadic, but those tribes You can still go.”

"Fifth, the heirs of the leaders of each tribe must go to the capital. They will go back to take over the knighthood in the future."

"Without these five items, I guess we won't be talking about it. And I don't have much time left for you. I can tell you clearly that I will be repairing here for a few days. Once I get supplies, I will climb over the mountain. I don't want to set up anything. One man's unparalleled achievements in defeating the quasi-communist army are unworthy of his reputation. God has the kindness to live a good life. I hope your 'Great Khan' can make the right choice."

"You are the one whom Galdan Celing relies on. Xiao Ce Lingdun Dobu died in the battle. Your words have enough weight. This is not a question of loyalty, but a question of the survival of the quasi-unit. I hope that if Galdan Celing If you can't make the right choice, you should think about the tribe."

After listening to the conditions mentioned by Liu Yu, Dace Lingdunduobu frowned and thought for a moment, knowing that he could not strive for more of these conditions.

He wanted to find a way to survive for the tribe, but what he worried about was that Dashun was worried about making a comeback and would lead to a massacre. By taking advantage of internal strife and introducing the Yarkand Mughals, Kazakhs, etc., the group may be wiped out.

Having made too many enemies, the great strategist Lingdun Dobu already knew that the Russian envoy was in the camp, and even the road to defecting to Russia was blocked.

Liu Yu's words sounded like a threat. In fact, Dace Lingdun Dobu understood. This was to explain clearly the conditions and bottom line to him, and not to waste too much time on nonsense. Seeing the combat power of the Qingzhou Army and knowing that it was impossible for the army to stop them once they crossed the mountain, Ling Dunduobu stood up and bowed slightly towards Liu Yu to express his gratitude.

After the guards took Dace Lingdun Duobu down, Liu Yu hurriedly ordered: "This old man is too old. Send him back quickly, don't die in our hands. Be sure to eat well and drink well on the way. Don't do it." He will die in our hands. Quickly organize the battlefield and send people to the rear camp to report the victory!"
