Chapter 522: Envoy to Mobei

Although Sun Jiagan said that he was useless, Liu Tongxun naturally did not think so, in fact, Sun Jiagan can play a very important role in the Mongolian issue, and it is not something that ordinary people can replace.

After persuading Sun Jiagan to come out, the two rushed to the capital together to meet Ning Zhongyi, the privy envoy who presided over the overall situation, and Zhao Xiantai, the left attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At present, when His Majesty is not in the capital, Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai are the main persons in charge of the Mongolian issue, of course, they are also responsible for the appeasement of Southern Mongolia in the early stage, and as for the more important things in the northern part of the country, Ning Yu will personally coordinate them in the future.

The two rushed all the way back to Beijing from Guihua City, but Ning Zhongyi, who had not really taken a breath and had been waiting for news for a long time, sent people to invite Sun Jiagan and Liu Tongxun.

"Lord Sun, Lord Liu, please come here, the privy envoy is waiting for you."

The lieutenant colonel officer who accompanied Sun Jiagan and Liu Tongxun made a gesture and guided the two to the yamen of the Privy Council of the Beijing Division.

When the two of them reached the gate of the courtyard, Sun Jiagan had not taken a closer look, but he heard a shouting from the courtyard, and the shouting of these people seemed to have lasted for a long time.

"The old and young masters of the eight banners of Chahar have arrived, but His Majesty has never given a clear meaning......

"Yes, we have the heart to take refuge in Da Chu, and we can also send troops to attack the Qing ....... in the future."

"The banner lords are just looking for a stable ....... If you are an official of Da Chu, you are naturally a person of Da Chu......"

Before Sun Jiagan and Liu Tongxun could listen carefully, the lieutenant colonel's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stopped in front of Sun Jiagan and said, "The people of the Chahar Eight Banners have already arrived....... The two of you will wait here first, and I will go to the Privy Councillor. ”

Sun Jiagan was a little unhappy in his heart, since it was you Ning Zhongyi who invited them here to discuss Mongolian affairs, but why did you leave them here now?

Liu Tongxun smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is going to hold a Mongolian conference in Beijing, and when the time comes, people like the Sixteen Divisions and Forty-Nine Banners of Monan will arrive, but they are coming in advance now, and they still want some bargaining chips......

When Sun Jiagan heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and he probably understood why he met someone from Monan Mongolia so coincidentally........ Ning Zhongyi's meaning is very simple, others say that you Sun Jiagan is a famous minister in Shanxi, but after all, he is famous, so he might as well use Monan Mongolia to try his roots first.

If the people of Southern Mongolia can be settled, then the affairs of Northern Mongolia will naturally be in the hands of him Sun Jiagan, but if he can't even handle this little thing, then go back and forth.

After Sun Jiagan's mind cleared up, he had already figured out a little bit of meaning for Ning Zhongyi's thoughts, so after thinking about it, he didn't hesitate at all, and walked directly into the courtyard, and Liu Tongxun smiled slightly on his face and followed behind him.

"Mr. Sun's name is like thunder, and he has admired this king for a long time."

There are more than ten people sitting in the lobby of the courtyard, one of them is wearing a military uniform, smiling, at this time is looking at Sun Jiagan bowing his hand, the whole popularity is very extraordinary, I think it is Zhongshan Wang Ning Zhongyi.

Beside Ning Zhongyi, there was a civil official with a good bearing, who was Zhao Xiantai, the left attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and below the two, there were more than a dozen Mongolians, all of whom had a little displeasure on their faces.

Sun Jiagan arched his hand and said: "Sun Jiagan, a grass man, greets the prince and the adult." ”

Ning Zhongyi's face was as usual, and he said, "Come on, take a seat." Then he smiled at the other Mongolians: "Everyone, this is the famous Sun Xigong, I think the big guy should have heard of it." ”

The person sitting next to Ning Zhongyi's left hand said with a smile: "Naturally, naturally, when I was there in Yongzhengye, I had heard of Lord Sun's name, and it was said that it was very bold!" As he spoke, he burst out laughing, but it sounded like he was laughing, and the Mongols on the side laughed along.

Sun Jiagan looked at those Mongolians with a calm face, and said softly: "Although Sun was very bold back then, he was not as bold as you are today, and he didn't know that he was dying. ”

"Oh? Sun Jiagan, do you know what you're talking about? With a little anger on the Mongolian man's face, he glanced at Ning Zhongyi again, and snorted coldly: "How can such a person participate in the negotiation between the Mongolian tribes and the Great Chu. ”

"It's not about negotiations, it's about resetting the Mongolian order." Zhao Xiantai lightly threw out a sentence, they are not qualified enough for things like negotiations.

The Mongolian face was even more angry, and said: "Mo Nan Mongolia sixteen departments and forty-nine banners, how can it be decided by Da Chu's words?" The Mongols on the side also made unhappy looks.

Sun Jiagan interjected at this time, and said with a smile: "Sixteen and forty-nine flags? It's a big breath, but what can you decide, a little Chahar Zhenghuangqi? Even if they want to talk, it is with Karaqin, Tumut and Ordos. ”

Zalut, the owner of the Chahar Zhenghuang Banner, suddenly changed his face, and without introduction, the other party recognized himself - this can only show one problem, his understanding of the Mongolian tribes is probably deeper than he imagined.

As for Sun Jiagan's words, Zalut has no room for refutation, because what the other party said is right.

Among the three major Mongolian forces today, the strength of Monan Mongolia can be regarded as the worst, not to mention that compared with the Jungar Department, even the Khalkha Mongols in Mobei are much inferior, and among the 16 and 49 banners of Mongol in Monan, Chahar Eight Banners is the weakest tribe.

The reason is very simple, since Chahar was defeated by Houjin, it was completely incorporated by the then Huang Taiji, and it was also compiled into the Chahar Eight Banners, which can be said to be the deepest degree of control, and this control and envelopment is reflected to this day, but it has made Chahar's horse team almost all controlled by the Qing court, and they have all been lost on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.

Today's Chahar tribe has almost reached the most critical time, it can be said that as long as Ning Chu sends troops, Chahar will not even have the strength to organize 10,000 cavalry, at most thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, which is not enough at all.

When a cold sweat began to break out on Zalut's face, Ning Zhongyi's face was slightly smiling, it seems that Sun Jiagan does have his own unique side, but how to use it has to be observed again.

Sun Jiagan took a sip of the teacup and said softly: "What is more critical at the moment is that it is not that Great Chu needs Monanmeng, but that Monan Mongolia needs Dachu, as for the reason, I think I don't need to say more." ”

Zalut was silent, and the current Mongol tribes in southern Mongolia had indeed reached a situation of life and death.

First of all, naturally, after cutting off the grain and grass trade from the mainland, there is simply not enough grain and grass in Monan Mongolia to survive this winter. Secondly, after the Northern Expedition, the strength of Monan Mongolia has decreased sharply, and in the future, it will not need Ning Chu to do it at all, and it will be swallowed directly by Zhunger.

As for the proposal to take refuge in Zungar, it was not approved by the leaders of Monan Mongolia from the beginning, the reason is very simple, in the war of the Qing Dynasty against Jungar that lasted for decades, Monan Mongolia has always been the main force in it, and it can be said that they have formed a blood feud with the Jungar Department.

As for taking refuge in Mobei Mongolia, there is no need for this at all, because the other party does not have the ability to save them at all, and even Mobei Mongolia itself is in front of the quasi-department, and has no ability to protect itself.

Speaking of which, only Da Chu is the only character who can ask for help in Monan Mongolia at the moment, and they have no choice.

Zalut said astringently: "Mr. Sun is really powerful, but we are all the people of the Immortal Heaven, even if we take refuge in Dachu, we want to get the status that Chahar should have.......

"What status? Zasak? ”

Sun Jiagan looked at the Mongols in front of him almost with a sympathetic look, he didn't seem to understand the current situation at all, when did the Qing Dynasty implement Zasak in Mobei? Don't talk about them at the moment, even Mobei Mongolia can't get the title of Zasak.

As mentioned earlier, Zasak is basically equivalent to the status of the prince, and even more powerful than the prince, in the fief of Zasak, mountains, rivers, mountains and forests, pastures, and fields are all owned by him, and he does not bear any conscription or taxes to the government. The people were under his rule, and they paid taxes and forced labor, and Zazak had the right to kill them.

Today, when Ning Chu realizes the new policy, it is impossible for anyone to achieve such a status again.

Zalut looked at Ning Zhongyi aggressively, and said, "If the imperial court can agree to the condition that we become Zasak, the Forty-Nine Banners of the Sixteen Divisions of Monan can surrender to Great Chu right now and become the vassal of Great Chu in Monan." ”

Ning Zhongyi didn't even think about it at all, shook his head and said: "Impossible, Zasak will not award it to anyone again, not to mention Monan Mongolia, even if it is a conspiracy Alabutan, it is impossible to get this title - if Monan Mongolia has other choices because of this, you can leave now." ”

"This ......." Zalut's face was a little heavy, he looked at the other Mongolians, but he muttered a Mongolian dialect, Sun Jiagan still knew Mongolian, but he heard it clearly, and the smile on his face was a little bigger.

Ning Zhongyi has an interpreter by his side, so naturally he doesn't have to worry, those Mongolians are just talking some nonsense about unity openly and secretly...... But they don't want to think about it? What can be used to unite? Whether there are muskets or cannons, relying on the past cavalry shooting alone has proved that it will be beaten to the ground by the Fu Han army.

Zalut didn't hold on after all, he looked at Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai, "Even if we choose to join Chu, we have to see Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Xiantai laughed loudly and said: "If you want to see Your Majesty, then wait until Your Majesty arrives in the capital, and then you will naturally have the opportunity to see Your Majesty, but there is one more point, when the time comes, you have to write to Your Majesty, and you must give Your Majesty the honorific title of 'Heavenly Khan'......."

"Heavenly Khan?" Sun Jiagan's brows jumped, this majesty really didn't hide his ambition at all........

........

After the Mongols dispersed, Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai took Sun Jiagan into a pavilion to talk, and there was re-renewed tea in front of them, and the fragrance of tea was quite exciting.

Ning Zhongyi looked at Sun Jiagan, who was in his early forties, and sighed: "When Mr. Sun was strong, he chose to retreat to the countryside, it was really a waste of talent. ”

Sun Jiagan arched his hand, "King Changshan's words made the grass people extremely frightened, he had not responded to the edict before, and he was really relieved that the old mother at home was not relieved, and now since the king of Changshan has been sent, the grass people will naturally come." ”

Zhao Xiantai smiled, "Xigong, what you have seen and heard today is not wrong. ”

Sun Jiagan sighed, and he said softly: "Lord Zhao doesn't know, Xiaguan only knows a little about Mongolia, and he can still say a few words in Monan Mongolia, but when he really comes to Mobei Mongolia, he is also confused." ”

Ning Zhongyi groaned slightly, he was not too worried about the problem of Monan Mongolia, because with the strengthening of the control of the Fu Han army in the north, even if it was to use force, it would be able to pacify Monan, so the real problem was still Mobei.

It's just that Ning Zhongyi thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled: "A few days ago, the Military Intelligence Department got the news that there has been a new movement in the Jungger Department, and they seem to want to unite with Nian Qianyao and others to re-conquer Mobei Mongolia and the Northwest ........."

"What? Jungar and Nian Qianyao went together? This is a strange thing in the world! ”

Sun Jiagan raised his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised, you must know that among the northwest army led by Nian Qianyao, a considerable part of them have fought with Jungger in the northwest, and if they are united at this stage, they are not afraid of mutiny?

Zhao Xiantai also sighed, "That's right, not only Nian Qianyao, but Yue Zhongqi from Qinghai and Tibet also went north, they gathered 50,000 horses, it seems that they are already a little ready to move, maybe they will be invaded in Gansu or even Shaanxi....... And Jungar will send troops to Mobei and attack the three parts of Mobei Mongolia. ”

"What about it....... It seems that it is also an opportunity for us......." Sun Jiagan showed a smile on his face, if the three tribes of Mobei Mongolia are really in trouble, who else can they find in the future besides Ning Chu for help?

Ning Zhongyi nodded, "This is a variable, but we have to send people to the three divisions of Mobei to persuade them to return to Chu as soon as possible, the only thing that the old man is worried about is that the three divisions of Mobei will not last long before they will be eaten by Zhungeer, and when the time comes, facing such a Zhungeer, it will be more or less understood." ”

Sun Jiagan had completely understood, and he said in a low voice: "The grass people are willing to serve the imperial court. ”

"Okay, Duke Xi, this king will present this to His Majesty, and specially appoint you as the liaison ambassador of Mobei Mongolia, and be fully responsible for the liaison with the three departments of Mobei Mongolia, and I hope it will be completed as soon as possible."

"Yes, the grass people have thanked the king of Zhongshan."

When Sun Jiagan raised his head again, his whole person changed a little, and he seemed to be sharper.
