Chapter 575: Once and for all
Sure enough, just two days after Nian Qianyao and Hu Qiheng secretly discussed, the high-spirited Xiao Celing sent an invitation to Nian Qianyao to come to the banquet, and the words of the invitation were very polite, but it was completely different from the arrogance of the past.
When he was in Guleza, Xiao Celing Dundob showed a shrewd and cunning appearance, but since he returned to Hami, what he showed in front of outsiders was the original arrogance, perhaps for him, the arrogant face he played in the past has been completely imprinted on Xiao Celing's body, and he can no longer get rid of it.
Of course, Xiao Celing Dundob, who took an arrogant attitude towards others, was still quite polite to Nian Qianyao, in order to become the Great Khan of Zungar, then he had to win over Nian Qianyao's army of 30,000, and in the process, he also needed to be cautious to prevent this old tiger from eating himself.
It was night, the government in the city of Hami was brightly lit, everyone sat around the lobby, each in front of their own fat mutton and beef, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall was endless, and there were graceful women with the flavor of the Western Regions dancing for it, so it looked like a happy and harmonious look.
Xiao Ce Ling Dun Dobu held a woman in one hand, raised the wine bowl with the other, and smiled at Nian Qianyao, who was sitting at the bottom: "General Nian, as soon as we came to Hami, we have never had time to feast General Nian, so we have to make up for it today, and ask General Nian to forgive me!" β
Nian Qianyao smiled slightly, then also raised the wine bowl, and said softly: "General Dun Duobu is really polite, the last general also visited the general a few days ago, but it's a pity that the general went to Guleza, so he didn't have the opportunity to see him, and the last general didn't have this blessing!" β
"Hahahaha, General Nian is really a big smart person!"
Xiao Ce Ling Dun Duobu laughed loudly and looked at Nian Qianyao, "In the early years, when the Great Khan was still there, I heard the Great Khan say that the name of General Nian was prominent, but it was a pity that he didn't have a chance to see it. β
When Nian Qianyao heard Xiao Celing say this, his heart suddenly moved, and he deliberately put on a depressed look, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that the Great Khan has died, and even the Great Khan of Galdance Ce has died in front of the battle........ It's really heartbreaking! When he said this, he really squeezed out a few tears from his eyes.
Seeing Nian Qianyao's appearance, Xiao Ce Ling Dun Duobu was overjoyed, the reason why he deliberately mentioned this was to draw this out, after all, in Xiao Ce Ling Dun Duobu's view, without the support of Cel Alabutan, Nian Qianyao had already become a street rat, except for himself who could take him in, who else would dare to take him in?
As long as Nian Qianyao can be put into his account, then with this 30,000 army, no matter what, he can overwhelm Ge Ce and others in terms of momentum, and then he will be able to become a new generation of Jungger Khan without blood!
Thinking of this, Xiao Celing Dundobu did not show happiness, but nodded with a heavy face: "That's right, the Great Khan has died, and I and other old ministers don't know what to do. β
Nian Qianyao pursed his lips in his heart, this tartar is a tartar, he talks and does things so roughly, he almost can't wait to snatch the seat of the Great Khan directly and sit ......
Where is it like Huaxia, if you don't ask three times, others will only think that you are a wolf and ambitious, and you have premeditated!
Of course, at the moment, Nian Qianyao naturally pushed the boat along the river and did the rough work, he opened the table very happily, stepped forward, and knelt in front of Xiao Ce Ling Dun Dobu with his legs, with a little gratitude on his face.
"General, the last general thinks that now that the Zungar Khanate has suddenly undergone a great change, only the general can lead the force to turn the tide, although the last general only has 30,000 tired divisions, he is willing to contribute to the general, but it is just ......"
"Just what? General Nian might as well speak bluntly. Xiao Ce Ling Dun Duobu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Nian Qianyao who was kneeling in front of him.
Nian Qianyao smiled slightly, and said softly: "Although the last general has 30,000 tired troops, but there is not much repair, now the soldiers' armor is insufficient, most of the shotguns are also damaged, and the artillery in the army is even more lost, and the gunpowder is less than 100 catties, not to mention the low morale, this combat power is almost zero!" β
Xiao Ce Ling Dun Dobu had a smile on his face, "What if these can be transferred to General Nian?" β
"If the general can allocate materials to come, then our army must repair the appearance of the army, train hard, and contribute to the general's ascension to the position of the Great Khan in the future!"
Nian Qianyao slammed his head on the ground, and his blue scalp suddenly turned red and purple, but it was shocking to watch.
Xiao Ce Ling Dun Dobu was very satisfied with Nian Qianyao's statement, he directly pushed away the woman in his arms, and then walked down personally, grabbed Nian Qianyao's arm, and helped him up.
"General Nian, these materials will be given to you at the latest in ten days, but I also hope that you can keep in mind what you said today, and when General Ben becomes a Great Khan, you will also have a share of the credit, and when the time comes, General Ben will make you Taiji, how about it?"
The so-called Taiji, derived from the Chinese crown prince, Wang Taidi, is a title of the Mongolian tribal leader, in the past, the head of the son-in-law of the golden family called Tabu Nang Mongols often used "Taiji" as a title, and will add "red" and "yellow" words in front, like Huang Taiji is also evolved from "Huang Taiji".
Of course, in this era, Taiji has also begun to gradually flood, there are Taiji who are in power, and there are Taiji who are not in power, such as the idle Khan, Wang, Beile, Beizi, Gong, etc. of the Borzigit clan of Inner and Outer Zasak Mongolia, but Xiao Celing Dundobu can promise Nian Qianyao a Taiji position, which can also show that he will accept Nian Qianyao to develop in Moxi Mongolia, I have to say that the sincerity is still very strong.
If Nian Qianyao didn't have too much ambition before, he would naturally be satisfied with this arrangement, but after a conversation with Hu Qiheng, he didn't want to just be a titular Taiji, so he was a little unimpressed, of course, he still did a very good job in the face.
I saw Nian Qianyao's tears soaring out again, regardless of Xiao Celing Dundobu's obstruction, the whole person fell directly to the ground, and even stepped forward to lick Xiao Celing Dundob's boots to express his surrender.
This scene suddenly surprised everyone, especially those big and small Taiji who looked at Nian Qianyao and laughed loudly, and even Xiao Celing Dundobu himself had a little disdain on his face, but what everyone didn't know was that Nian Qianyao, who was kneeling on the ground and licking his boots, had only one thought in his heart at this time.
One day, I'm going to let you all lick my boots!
.......
In October, the situation in northern Xinjiang was changing, the army was traveling thousands of miles, and the battles were one after another, but for Ning Yu, it was almost time to draw the end number.
Especially after arranging the expedition to the west, Ning Yu no longer needs to participate in it, because through the plan of the Privy Council, it is enough to gradually incorporate the current entire Mobei and Moxi Mongolia into the rule of the Fu Han army in the next half a year, and this process is only slowly grinding.
However, for Ning Yu, the war in northern Xinjiang has ended, but it does not mean that other things are over, especially when the Mongolian tribes begin to carry out new policy reforms, they need to keep an eye on it - this will be related to whether Ning Chu can integrate the Mongolian tribes and whether they can stabilize the hearts of the people.
Of course, this is also destined to be a long thing, and it may not be completely successful in spending ten or ten hundred years, but Ning Yu must do it, because if he doesn't do it, someone else will do it in the future.
Fortunately, Ning Chu has always played the role of a savior in Mongolia, whether it is dealing with Southern Mongolia or the three Khalkha tribes in Northern Mongolia, the Fu Han army has never directly slashed at each other, but has saved each other, which also makes the Mongolian tribes have an extremely complicated emotion towards Ning Chu, they are grateful for Ning Chu's help, but they are disgusted with the changes brought by Ning Chu at the same time, and there are some fears for the future.
Therefore, after returning to Beijing, Ning Yu immediately convened the ministers stationed in Beijing and began to discuss this important matter related to the foundation of the empire.
In the Winter Warm Pavilion, the green smoke is filled, and the faint smoke fragrance fills this space, which also makes the whole hall warm and thick, sweeping away the autumn chill.
Among them, Ning Zhongjing, the former first assistant and the current secretary of the Imperial Academy, as well as Sun Jiagan, the new secretary of the Mongolian Affairs Development Comprehensive Department, Zheng Mingkui, deputy director of the Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Chen Jingsheng, deputy director of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Finance, and others, all gathered together and waited for the emperor's inquiry.
After a while, Ning Yu walked in directly from outside the hall, he was only wearing a thick velvet robe, his face was full of tiredness, and his dark circles were extremely eye-catching.
In the past few days, in order to deal with the backlog of some government affairs, Ning Yu can be said to have stayed up all night, and even when he met with local ministers, he met while reviewing and reviewing the folds.
"Please take care of your majesty's dragon body!"
Ning Zhongjing bowed deeply, although he was a courtier, he was also an imperial uncle, watching Ning Yu grow up since he was a child, so when he saw Ning Yu like this that day, he felt a little distressed in his heart.
Ning Yu's heart warmed, and he immediately stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang's entrustment, I don't dare to forget, it's just that the government affairs are complicated, and it is also a helpless move, today I called you over, that is, to entrust these burdens to you, whether I can live a leisurely life in the future depends on you." β
"The ministers dare not live up to His Majesty's entrustment."
Ning Yu nodded with satisfaction and said softly: "The big war in Mongolia is definitely gone, and the small war will be difficult to calm down for a while, but in the long run, these are some small problems, which will not affect the overall situation at all, so there will be a relatively big change in the focus of our future rule, and this will be related to whether we can completely control the grassland." β
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly sank, and they would soon understand how far Emperor Ning Yu's gaze was.
"There are not a few dynasties that have been able to suppress the grasslands in the past dynasties, such as the Han expedition against the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty's defeat of the Turks, and even the five expeditions of the former Ming Dynasty to Mongolia, which can show that it is feasible to suppress the grassland by force, but after the conquest, it will be decades or hundreds of years, and there will be more powerful grassland forcesββ"
Ning Yu couldn't help but sigh slightly when he said this, "Of course, the world has changed over time, and it is already commendable to be able to suppress it for hundreds of years, and I am not saying this for the sake of the ancients, but I have been thinking in my heart, is there a way to completely turn the grassland into an empire?" Wouldn't that be a good thing to do once and for all? β
Hearing the emperor say this, everyone looked at each other, but they all looked pensive, it was obvious that they had also thought about this problem, but no one could really come up with a good solution.
Ning Zhongjing's face was thoughtful, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, the grassland people are afraid of power and not virtue, and blindly applying the technique of Rouren may be useful for a while, but it is difficult to last......"
In the eyes of the former Shoufu, the emperor seemed to attach too much importance to winning over the hearts of the people, and the policies he did on the grassland seemed to be too lenient, and he was more or less disagreeing with it, so he advised him very tactfully.
Ning Yu smiled slightly, "For me, benevolence is a means of governing the people, and the law is also a means of governing the people. And if we want to firmly control Mongolia at the moment, I think it will take several major stages before we can completely control Mongolia. β
"How many big stages?" Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious.
Ning Yu raised a finger and said softly: "The first stage is destined to be a relatively difficult process, we need to enter the grassland, and we need to have enough influence on the grassland, first of all, we need to maintain a certain garrison force on the grassland, in order to ensure the steady implementation of my Ningchu new policy, and to maintain the stability of the situation." β
"The second is to win over the tribes on the grassland that can be used by our Great Chu, urge them to practice the new policy, let them become the vanguard of reform on the entire grassland, and effectively improve their quality of life, so as to erect such a big banner and attract other tribes to start following suit."
"In the end, it is necessary to severely crack down on those tribal leaders who still harbor undesirable illusions, and those who do not cooperate, as well as those who collude with the Russians, must not give them the slightest chance, and remember to eliminate all evil."
After hearing Ning Yu's words, Ning Zhongjing nodded hurriedly, "What Your Majesty said is indeed Lao Cheng's words to hold the country, but the old minister is still a little curious, with Your Majesty's intentions, this is only the first stage, could it be that there are other stages?" β
The other ministers were also quite curious, according to their thinking about the grassland policy, at most they had reached this point, but listening to the emperor's unfinished words, it seemed that there was much more than that.
"Of course it doesn't stop there...... Since I am determined to do it once and for all, I will never do anything that is too bad to be a snake. β
Ning Yu stood in front of everyone with his hands in his hands, and his face became more and more mature, with a little look of anticipation for the future.
