Chapter 172: Angry Dolgon

The temporary head of the military department is definitely an unexpected surprise.

Tiemo is still a little self-aware, although he spends financial and material resources to make a fool of himself, Chongzhen will definitely be very happy, but he will not give an official title of head of the military department.

Just as Tiemo thought, the title of the head of the military department was not given by Chongzhen on his own initiative, but Sun Chengzong said something good, and the head of the military department fell to Tiemo.

In fact, Tiemo really needs this official title. For a long time, Tiemo's biggest problem was his background.

Born as a pure big-headed soldier with no merit and no reputation, he is definitely an outlier in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has the rank of head of the Ministry of War, he can be regarded as a good seedling.

After receiving the reward, Tiemo went to Hancheng with Liu Yingyu and others and met Yang He. A few days later, they withdrew from Shaanxi one after another. Now Wang Jiayin's department fled to the northwest, Wu Yangui and Wang Daliang were destroyed, and the pressure on Shaanxi dropped sharply in a short period of time.

In this case, in order to save expenses, the imperial court naturally urged the border troops of all ministries to return to their original places as soon as possible. Of course, the imperial court was not stupid, and while the elite border troops of Tiemo and Lou Daji withdrew from Shaanxi, they left Cao Wenzhao's Liaodong soldiers and horses.

Cao Wenzhao was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Suide and temporarily stationed in Yan'an Mansion to cooperate with Yang He to rectify Shaanxi's military affairs. It is said that it is to rectify military affairs, but in fact, it is to prevent Wang Jiayin's peasant army from making a comeback.

......

On May 21 of the second year of Chongzhen, Tiemo finally returned to Zhangbei with people after a long absence.

Today's Zhangbei, all walks of life are developing vigorously, which has also driven the surrounding Tucheng and other places. In a year, many businesses in Zhangjiakou have been slowly dispersed to Zhangbei and other places, and in comparison, Zhangjiakou's commerce and trade have weakened.

The firearms workshop also gave Tiemo a lot of surprises. When Elizabeth was thrown into the workshop, there was no hope, but this woman stayed in the workshop for a while, which made Zhao Jinrong admire. The improvement of the bullet alone, combining the primer and the bullet into one, the firing speed up the firing frequency and saving a lot of trouble. Although it is still a one-shot bullet, at least there is no need to pour some gunpowder.

This alone is a leap forward for breech guns.

Zhao Jinrong is full of praise for Elizabeth, you know, this old man has always been very picky. Tiemo finally determined one thing, Evangel didn't talk nonsense at all, Elizabeth was really a firearms genius.

For a genius like Elizabeth, it must be firmly in his hands, and even if Evangel wants to take Elizabeth back to Russia, Tiemo will allow it.

The technological progress of muskets has also greatly accelerated the process of changing the equipment of Zhangbei's soldiers and horses.

Changing clothes, there will naturally be all kinds of problems, the five camps of Han and Mongolia all want to change their clothes first, and Zhou Dingshan and others are making a lot of trouble about this.

In the backyard of the Moon Palace, Tiemo, Chen Zilong, Aqige, Wang Zuojiao and others gathered together, still having a headache over the allocation of equipment. The sand sculpture burst in through the archway, strode to Tiemo's side, leaned down and whispered, "Dolgon has sent someone over again." ”

"Someone sent again? This kid is in a hurry! ”

Tie Mo rolled his eyes a little impatiently, and when he saw his reaction, the corners of the sand sculpture's mouth twitched. A few years ago, he agreed to make a deal with Dorgon, but General Tie was good, and he was in a hurry to search and eliminate the remnants of weapons, but he was not in a hurry to trade. In order to get these weapons, Dolgon robbed several tribes and got a lot of good things, but as a result, the war horses and other materials were pressed in his hands, and the weapons were not seen for a long time.

"Hey, can he not be in a hurry, recently Huang Taiji intends to use troops against several Mongol tribes in the west, and Dolgon's two white flags bear the brunt. Dorgon must have wanted to expand his strength before using his troops. ”

As the leader of the secret agent, the sand sculpture naturally had an investigation into the affairs of Liaodong.

Tie Mo thought for a moment, raised his hand and scratched his forehead. It's nothing to pit Dolgon, but it can't pit Dolgon to death. Dolgon's recent war horses and supplies in the past six months have angered many people, and if he doesn't stretch out his hand at this time, Dolgon is estimated to be crippled by Huang Taiji. Dolgon and Huang Taiji are arguing, and this is the situation he wants to see.

"In this case, you go and prepare, inform Dolgon, and let him bring people to the Hanhai Grassland, and the money and goods will be cleared by then."

"Huh? What if he refuses to come? ”

"If he doesn't come, this deal won't be done, hmph, do you want us to send weapons to Liaodong?"

......

After receiving the reply, Dolgon's mood can be imagined. Originally, it was a good transaction in February, but it was delayed again and again, and it dragged on for more than three months, and the clay man still had three points of blood, not to mention Dolgon.

For the sake of this transaction, Dorgon can be said to have taken great pains to offend many tribes. After a series of actions, it has aroused the vigilance of Huang Taiji. But in this case, the surnamed Tie not only delayed time, but also traded in the Hanhai Grassland.

Tiemo is a dog man, too cunning, I really want to push the chessboard and say "stop playing".

However, even if Dorgon was angry, he would still have to endure it. There is no way, the strength of the two white flags is too weak, Huang Taiji is vigilant again, and intends to weaken the two white flags by external forces, if he doesn't think of a way, he will really be suppressed by Huang Taiji.

The top priority at the moment is to quickly replenish the strength of the inlaid white flags, and as long as the two white flags return to their normal strength, they will have the capital to protect themselves.

Therefore, I really need this batch of weapons, even if I know that I will be pitted, I have to pinch my nose and admit it.

After all, Duoduo is younger, and his characterization is not as good as Dolgon, he grimaced, and slashed over the low stool in front of him with a knife, "This iron ink is too deceitful, we didn't talk about the Hanhai Grassland trade at the beginning." ”

"Okay, bear with me, what we need is those weapons, as long as we can get these weapons, we have to admit some losses. In my opinion, this iron ink is not stupid, what good is it for him to really watch us being locked by Huang Taiji? Hmph, for now, he still needs us, at least for now, he can't settle the Mongolian ministries, the Tumut Ministry, the Khalkha Ministry, and a headache Lin Dan Khan. ”

"Brother, what you said makes sense, but let's just let the surnamed Tie lead the nose away?"

"The Han people have a saying, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. As long as we manage the two white flags well, and then Xu Tu Mongolia, it is unknown who will have the last laugh in the future. ”

Dolgon's hands were clenched, and his eyes were shining.

He Dolgon has never lacked fighting spirit, whether it is Huang Taiji or Tiemo, no one can make him Dolgon lower his noble head.

......

Northeast of Hanhai Grassland, Wokoli Grassland. The Vokoli grassland is small in size, but it is closely connected to the Hanhai grassland. At this time, a group of Mongols drove slowly on the dark green grass with their war horses.

This army came from the north, under the banner of the Khalkha Ministry.
