Chapter 606: The Situation in the North

In fact, there are many, many people like Shen Weijun, on the one hand, they have begun to enter new fields with a shallow taste, and on the other hand, they are also extremely vigilant about new changes, and behind them is to reflect the rapid development and changes of Dachu.

As the emperor, Ning Yu naturally vigorously promoted the development of the country on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was indifferent to this change, and he had to carefully control the intensity of the conflict between the emerging and traditional classes in the country, and could not continue to make drastic measures to flatten the problem, which would not solve the problem at all.

Of course, at the same time, he also needs to use one eye to keep an eye on the north where a skirmish is going on, after all, since the main force of the Zungar Khanate was wiped out in a war, the rest are basically in a state of passive beating, especially after the Russians stabbed again from the north, Xiao Celing had to lead the only main force back to defend Ili.

After that, the counterattack launched by Nian Qianyao mixed up this muddy water, especially after the Fu Han army marched into Xingxing Gorge, the whole situation became complicated, for the Jungar Khanate at this time, whether it was the Fu Han army, the Russians, or Nian Qianyao, they were all enemies who wanted to get rid of it quickly.

And at this time, the head of the general staff of the Privy Council, Ujikei, brought another piece of news that caught people off guard.

"Back to Your Majesty, Nian Qianyao has already occupied Karasar, and he has slaughtered the local area directly into white ground, but now he has sent a message to our people, claiming that he is willing to submit to my Great Chu......"

Ujijing frowned, he didn't frown because of these evil deeds done by Nian Qianyao, it was completely because this thing wanted to be obedient was obviously just a pretense, he knew that once he lost his military power, he would face only one result, and that was death.

There are too many people in the world who want him to die, and it can be said that he can't wait to eat flesh.

Ning Yu was looking at the map of the Dzungar Khanate at this time, which had been painted into different color blocks with colors, such as Hami and Balikun in the east had been painted red on behalf of Great Chu, while Tarbagatai in the north was painted blue on behalf of the Russians, and Turpan and Karasar were painted black on behalf of Nian Qianyao, and the rest of the place was yellow on behalf of the Dzungar Khanate.

Obviously? Got to this point? The seemingly largest Zungar Khanate has actually reached a critical point, and these forces only need to further squeeze the power of the Zungar Khanate? Then the Dzungar Khanate would be almost over.

"Multi-party scuffle? Nian Qianyao took the lead in saying that he wanted to submit to my Da Chu? Hehe, it's just a delaying tactic? They don't want us to put the pressure on the offensive to the south, but they want us to continue along Urumqi, Kurkha Lawusu and Yining? Isn't this step for Xiao Celing, who is already going crazy?! It's using us as a shield! ”

A trace of coldness flashed on Ning Yu's face? Obviously, Nian Qianyao's repeated actions have deeply angered him.

Want to pull Da Chu as a shield? It also depends on whether you have the confidence to do so!

Ujijing said cautiously: "That minister will order a refusal......"

"Wait....... You don't have to refuse first, you can send someone to tell Xiao Celing, if he is willing to submit to my Da Chu? Then I can give him Nian Qianyao's head! ”

Ning Yu sighed slightly? At present, if you want to quickly stabilize the situation in Zhunger, it is inevitable to choose a cooperative force, and now Xiao Celing is a suitable partner to cooperate.

is the so-called treat, beheading, and accepting as a dog, and it is not so easy to really raise Xiao Celing into a dog? But if it succeeds, then it will greatly benefit the integration of the Dzungar Khanate? The glory of the Han and Tang dynasties can be restored.

Of course, want to completely integrate the Western Regions into one? It's not so easy, even the Qing Dynasty has been through hundreds of years of war? to completely eradicate the Dzungar Khanate? As for turning the Western Regions into a province? It was not until more than a hundred years later, that is, after Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang from Agubai, that the province was really established.

Ning Yu naturally won't drag on for so long, after all, how can the homeland of China be separated for a long time? At present, whether it is Taiwan or Tibet and Mongolia, they have nominally belonged to the command of Da Chu, and only after the return of the Western Regions and the recovery of Jiaozhi can the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties be restored.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ujijing already had some understanding in his heart, and naturally nodded his head at the moment, but when he said this question, he seemed to think of something, and then said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Princess Elizabeth seems to be about to reach the grassland......"

Ning Yu smiled, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Is that the princess who claims to be the pearl of the European royal family?" Judging from the distance, they are also almost there, and I can't say nothing - send the Praetorian Division Cuirassier Regiment to the north to meet them first, and when I finish dealing with the affairs of Nanjing, I will also go over. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This is not that Emperor Ning was so anxious when he heard that the princess was coming, the key is the identity of this person, if you look at the current process, Peter II estimates that the grass on the grave has grown, and Menshikov relies on St. Petersburg as a rebel, and it is not an easy thing to compete with the conservatives represented by Anna I.

Maybe at the beginning, with the help of the ability to raid, you can kill many conservative backbones, but if you hold each other for a long time, Menshikov is bound to be no opponent, and Da Chu can't really interfere with the changes in the Russian political situation, so after Menshikov is killed, Elizabeth will become a key card.

If nothing else, as long as Elizabeth is supported to return to the country in Irkutsk, then she can be fully supported to fight to the Urals, divide the whole of Russia into two, and make an East Russia and West Russia out in advance - then the North can be said to have peace of mind.

It's just that if he wants to achieve this, Emperor Taning will inevitably have to pay some hue sacrifices, otherwise Elizabeth alone will not be able to complete the independent establishment of the country......

.......

Hami.

Since Nian Qianyao carried out large-scale killings in this place, he also carried all the Han people here all the way to Karasar, resulting in the originally rich Hami City now completely becoming an empty and dead city.

Of course, after the Fu Han army broke through the Xingxing Gorge, the immigrants from the direction of Shaanxi and Gansu also began to gradually fill this treasure land, and a large number of Han people became the new masters of Hami, they were not only allocated a large amount of land, but also were granted a special tax exemption policy, so as a price, these people need to serve half a year of labor in Hami.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the side of the original Hami city to level the camp land, they need to clean up the ruins of the original city, and then carry out new construction, in the past is a proper heavy hard work, tired hundreds of thousands of people are really common, so everyone is afraid to avoid it.

However, since the reform of the tax law and the forced labor law after the Great Chu, the compulsory system has no longer been adopted for this kind of heavy labor, but the voluntary registration system has been chosen with high salaries, plus a part of the prisoners of war for apportionment, so that the people in the current Great Chu are no longer so afraid of labor activities, and there are even people who specialize in heavy labor for a living.

At this time, Hami had become a large construction site, and a large number of laborers from the north and immigrants from Shaanxi Province sat together in the form of teams in the form of militarized management, holding bread made of sorghum flour in their hands, gobbling it up, and in the middle there was a large pot in which fragrant mutton was boiling.

"Today's weather is good, it's very neat to do the work, the big guy has to grab some strength after eating, yesterday the old grandson and their class robbed the first that belonged to us, and today we have to grab it back!"

A middle-aged man with a simple face was educating his companions at this time, and he squinted at the team next door as he spoke, only to see that the group of laborers were all proud, and he suddenly became a little angry.

Although they are all from different places in the north, they have formed a deep friendship in these difficult construction days, and they all have a sense of injustice when they see the head of the team Wang Cai behaving like this.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even in the militarized management of labor, there is competition, such as they are all in the team as a unit, to carry out the labor competition, often the unit with excellent performance can get better food incentives the next day, while the unit with backward performance will carry out different degrees of deduction, it can be said that it is closely related to everyone's interests, so it can not help but not fight.

In addition to the material rewards and punishments, the most industrious teams will be judged after the whole construction, and the winners will be awarded the Labor Medal, and even if they return to their hometowns in the future, they will not be afraid in front of the local officials, because all the winners of the medal will be no less than those officials in status.

Of course, to win such an honor in tens of thousands of laborers, the difficulty coefficient is naturally not ordinary, for Wang Cai's team, the biggest competitor is Lao Sun Tou and them, the results of both sides are very close, in order to compete for the first place will not be easy to give up.

Just when everyone was hurrying to eat, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves from the far official road, which scared everyone enough, you must know that the Russians in the north have infiltrated Hami, and a few days ago there was a battle with the Fu Han army north of Hami, although in the end it was the Fu Han army that won the victory and cut off hundreds of hairy heads, but there were still more than 30 laborers who died in this raid.

However, fear is fear, after all, the laborers have undergone a certain amount of military training, they have stood up and gathered, and clenched the shovel in their hands, ready to fight to the death, this is also the knowledge taught to them by the Fu Han army, everyone understands one thing, if there is a cavalry coming, do not run, once you lose the formation, you can only be slaughtered alive, if you don't run, there is a chance to survive.

It was only a moment later that a cavalry of the Fu Han army galloped over, he grabbed his reins, and let the horses under his command run happily neigh, and their hooves were raised high, he calmed his mount, and then looked at everyone and shouted: "Lift the alarm, lift the alarm, everyone sit down!" ”

Hearing the words of the cavalry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and continued to eat bread and mutton, but Wang Cai sat down, his heart was more or less unwilling, if it was a real enemy attack just now, he might be able to really make a merit or something, and then the old grandson would no longer be able to compare with him!

After a long time, only a dozen cavalry galloped in the distance, and behind the cavalry was a long carriage, covered with a heavy black veil, but it was impossible to see the inside, but under the escort of the cavalry, most of the people did not dare to look closely, only thinking that this was a noble son of a noble family on patrol.

The cavalry were all wearing the red uniforms of the Fu Han army, with muskets and sabers hanging on the saddle, and the first one was very different, he was wearing a red robe and black yarn, a sword hanging from his waist, and a thick briefcase hanging on the saddle.

Soon, a civil official in a red official robe walked slowly all the way, he first glanced at the carriage, and then bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask which official is driving to Hami?" The contemptible person is Liu Tongxun, the new governor of Hami New City, who is building a city here, please dismount. ”

After hearing Liu Tongxun's name, the civil official on the horse did not hesitate to turn over and dismount, and after standing firmly, he walked over quickly, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, but his attitude was much more respectful than that of Liu Tongxun just now.

"Xiaguan Guan Pingsheng, deputy director of the Far East Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, unfortunately met Hami this time, and met Supervisor Liu."

As soon as he heard that the person who came was the deputy director of the Far East Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Liu Tongxun's eyes condensed slightly, and then he quickly smiled: "Director Guan doesn't have to be polite, everyone is just diligent in official business, but this official is supervising the construction of the city in Hami, and he also shoulders the responsibility of verification. ”

Guan Pingsheng nodded hurriedly, "This is naturally as it should be, when the Russians are plundering here, they naturally have to step up verification, this is originally common sense, but-"

Speaking of this, Guan Pingsheng hesitated slightly, he saw that Liu Tongxun's face was a little unswerving, and hurriedly searched for a letter from the briefcase on the saddle, and then handed it to Liu Tongxun with both hands, and said softly: "It's not that the lower officials don't know the reason, the main thing is that there is a key person in the carriage, and he wants to cross the Star Gorge, this is an order directly from the cabinet, and no one is allowed to check it before arriving in Beijing." ”

Liu Tongxun hurriedly wiped his hands, and then took the letter respectfully, and read it carefully, but after reading it, his face became more and more solemn, and he looked at the convoy again before slowly shaking his head.

"This is an order from the cabinet, does Lord Liu Tongxun have any other questions?"

Guan Pingsheng was suddenly shocked, but he knew that the prestige of this Liu Tongxun and Lord Liu was by no means comparable to him, the small deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
