In September, Ning Yu once again went north to Jingshi, and this time the most important thing was naturally about the ownership of Mongolia, and the new deputy assistant Li Fu and the cabinet and Privy Council ministers also followed Emperor Ning on the ship to Beijing.

As for the problem of this Mongolian conference, it is not just to simply add the title of Heavenly Khan to Emperor Ning, but also to further control the Mongol forces, and use this as a springboard to compete with the Russians for the northern world.

Of course, the title of this Tian Khan is also very important, just like Huang Taiji was promoted by the Mongol tribes of Monan as Bokda Chechen Khan, and Kangxi was called Enkh Amgulang Khan by the Mongols, it doesn't matter what Khan is called, but with this title, Ning Yu can get involved in Mongolian affairs.

Therefore, seeing that in September, after arranging other things, Ning Yu went north non-stop to attend the Mongolian conference held in Beijing in mid-September - as for why the Mongolian conference was arranged in Beijing, the reason was also very simple, Ning Yu wanted them to completely understand whose hands the initiative was.

When this Mongolian Khan is not what he Ning Yu rushes to be, but your Mongolian tribes have to pull him to be it, just like the Korean king, you must be willing.

"This Sun Jiagan is indeed a talent, and I am still relieved to send him to contact the Third Khalkha Department."

Ning Yu sat in the cabin, and in front of him was the joint memorabilia of Ning Zhongyi and Zhao Xiantai, but he smiled, and drew a red circle on it, and three red words were written on it, 'Got it'.

As far as Li Fu, the second assistant who accompanied the car, his temperament was more dignified than Cui Wancai, and he immediately said softly: "Your Majesty, Sun Jiagan is indeed talented, but the current situation is different, I am afraid that the third Khalkha department will not be so easy to take refuge in Da Chu, and I need to make another preparation." ”

Ning Yu nodded, "This is natural, we don't have to fight with Russia at the moment, just leave a few divisions on the border, and the rest of the troops will turn to the Mongolian front, if they can't recover peacefully, they will also be peaceful by force next year at the latest, but this is definitely not my will." ”

In the final analysis, Ning Yu still hopes that it can be resolved peacefully, as long as those Mongolian princes are obedient enough, it will not be a problem to seal some county kings or county princes when the time comes. If he is not obedient, then Ning Yu can only choose to use force to solve the problem.

Li Fu nodded, then remembered another thing, and said softly: "Your Majesty, many people in Nanjing are interested in armed farms now, and they think that this matter may be combined with the vassal system...... Maybe it's more efficient. ”

In fact, it is not the so-called 'some people' behind this matter at all, it is still those noble ministers, the reason why they want to combine the two systems is actually to hope for more protection, after all, the nobles who are all in Myanmar are not willing to pin all their security on the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.

Ning Yu smiled, of course he could understand the thoughts of these people, but he had implemented the two systems separately from the beginning, so he naturally had his reasons.

"Combining them will cause big problems, not because I am worried that the vassals will pose a threat to Great Chu, but because the armed farm plan must always be in the hands of the imperial court and must be supervised by the imperial court."

To put it bluntly, what does armed farm mean? With 100 households as a unit, form a self-defense militia organization that can be assembled to fight a big war at a critical time - if this system is placed in the hands of vassals, it will only quickly turn bad and form an alternative guard system, and there will be no other choice but to abolish it at that time.

Even Ning Yu himself did not think that the armed farm would exist for a long time, he had already set a time limit for operation, and after the time limit was completed, the armed farm would be completely converted into a private household to prevent it from eventually becoming corrupt.

Li Fu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your Majesty, this time the minister wants to go to the gate to see it in person...... Regarding the armed farm plan, the minister was still a little relieved in his heart. ”

Ning Yu nodded, but he had already guessed a few points in his heart, Li Fu was still worried about whether it would affect the government after the mob held guns, this plan had been discussed by many people before, and now if Li Fu went to check it with his own eyes, he might be able to have a more reliable conclusion.

......

Renovation in September of the fourth year, Anxi Province.

The sky was high and the clouds were low, and under the wilderness, a long procession was marching, their clothes were shabby, the bird guns they were carrying were almost out of shape, and their lips were almost parched, and many even fell down as they walked.

In this vast wasteland, there is nothing but the wind and sand in the distance and some poplar trees standing in the desert, and the desolation and loneliness seem to be the eternal background color here.

"General Yue, the marshal asked you to hurry up and see him, it seems that there is good news!"

With the sound of hooves, there was a group of cavalrymen in cotton armor, galloping from the wind and sand, they looked at the middle-aged man in front of them, with a little reverence on their faces.

This so-called General Yue is the previous Yue Zhongqi, his face is full of wind and frost at this time, and he is standing on top of a raised stone mound, with a little sadness in his expression.

"Tell Dashuai, Yue will go back ......."

When the cavalry turned to leave, Yue Zhongqi was still standing on top of the stone hill, looking at the wind and sand whistling in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Since the successful Northern Expedition of the Fu Han Army, Yue Zhongqi, who was hiding in Qinghai-Tibet, and Nian Qianyao, who was in Gansu, both felt the piercing threat, especially for Nian Qianyao, he still had to face the westward advance of the Great Righteous Army of more than 70,000 people, but after a few battles in Gansu, Nian Qianyao found that he could not defeat the strengthened Great Righteous Army at all, so that the army was defeated again and again, and retreated from Ganzhou to Suzhou, and then from Suzhou to Anxi Mansion.

What is Anzai Province? Further west, you will reach Hami and Dihua, which are basically in the sphere of influence of Zungar. And judging from the previous grievances between Nian Qianyao and Zhungeer, it is not harmonious in any way.

was really helpless, Nian Qianyao had to write a letter to Yue Zhongqi in Qinghai-Tibet, asking to join forces in one place, so as to form a response, if they were scattered, I was afraid that they would be broken one by one. Standby station

And Yue Zhongqi was also squeezed out by the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai and Tibet, and he had this intention in his heart, so he led the army all the way north, traveled thousands of miles, and implemented a joint army in the same year in Anxi Mansion with Qianyao, so far the remaining troops under the two of them were only less than 50,000 people, and they were still 50,000 tattered troops who lacked food, clothing, and weapons.

After July, with the gradual defeat of the Qing court, the problem in the northwest gradually intensified, and a large number of Fu Han troops were stationed in Gansu, expressing their fierce eyes on the nearby Jungar, which also triggered the fear of arguing Alabutan.

I have to say that this old friend of the Qing Dynasty has not been very good in recent years, when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the Qing court was in turmoil, although Alabutan had made peace with the Qing court at that time, but the thief was not dead, but he hooked up with the Mongolian leader of Qinghai and Shuote Luobzang Danjin, and raised troops against the Qing.

Although Emperor Yongzheng at that time had just succeeded to the throne, not everyone could bully him, so he immediately pulled up a northwest army, and let his cronies Nian Qianyao and his valued general Yue Zhongqi take care of it, and beat Luo Buzang Danjin, who was not clear about the situation, and completely cleaned up Qinghai Mongolia.

After sacrificing the so-called good comrades-in-arms, the conspiracy of Alabutan also stopped for a few years, but this discontinuation of the Qing Dynasty was completely cleaned up by the Fu Han army, and this time it aroused the careful thinking in the heart of the delirium, and he decided to re-embark on the old path of his uncle Geerdan, that is, to retake the three parts of Mobei, and then annex Monan, so that the unification of Mongolia can be re-realized.

In this case, Celsil Arabutan took the initiative to extend a hand of friendship to Nian Qianyao, and Nian Gengyao also gladly accepted the friendship of Arabutan after uniting Yue Zhongqi, but the three parties gradually reached an alliance in the northwest, on the one hand, it eased the situation of Nian Qianyao's department, and on the other hand, it also prompted Celium's ambition to move.

Yue Zhongqi is actually very reluctant to go against Ning Chu at the moment, on the one hand, the previous battle has made him gradually lose confidence in Ning Chu, and on the other hand, he understands that his little strength will only become cannon fodder for plotting against Alabutan and Nian Qianyao, and once it is exhausted, there will be only a dead end.

It's a pity that Yue Zhongqi has no other choice, and he can only take one step at a time.

"Dashuai, do we want to continue west?"

After returning to the handsome tent, Yue Zhongqi looked at Nian Qianyao who was cutting mutton with a knife in front of him, but asked such a question.

Nian Qianyao slammed the silver knife in his hand into the mutton, and sneered: "Seeing that Chen Daoxian and these traitors went to Qinghai-Tibet, but Chu Daoxian's soldiers arrived in Suzhou again, I heard that although it is only a division, it is not a problem to deal with our remnants and defeated generals....... What can I do if I don't continue walking now? ”

Yue Zhongqi still wanted to try again, and said softly: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will only let us rush to the front line, and our little strength can't withstand the consumption........ Why don't you talk to the Fu Han army in Suzhou? ”

"The old man didn't completely become an enemy with Ning Chu, but you also know Ning Tieshan's attitude, since he entered Gansu, he has almost bitten us like a mad dog, and your clan brother Yue Lingfeng, since he entered Gansu, he has thought about raiding our department several times......" Nian Qianyao looked at Yue Zhongqi meaningfully.

Yue Zhongqi was pushed up, and suddenly the following words were not easy to say, he sighed slightly and said: "Great marshal, Ning Chu's strategic focus has obviously shifted to the northwest, but I am afraid that the troops that will come by then will not be just these two or three divisions, we really have to think about it early." ”

Nian Qianyao smiled, but he didn't worry so much, "Dongmei, it's not us who have to worry about it now, but Arabutan, as for our surname, Aixin Jueluo, and not those Mongolian princes, if we really can't hide, naturally there are other ways to go......."

"This ......." Yue Zhongqi's expression moved slightly, and he finally didn't continue, but directly chose to retire.

After Yue Zhongqi left, Nian Qianyao's expression turned grim, he clapped his palms, and saw a Mongolian coming out of the tent, his face was red, and a scimitar was hanging from his waist.

"Isn't Dashuai really going to take refuge in Ning Chu? If that's the case, why don't you give me my head as a greeting gift? The Mongol had a smile on his face, but there was naked murderous intent in his eyes.

Nian Qianyao smiled, "Da Ce Ling Dun Duobu, if the old man wants to take refuge in Ning Chu, how can he wait until today?" You and I both know in our hearts that it is impossible for the old man to take refuge in Ning Chu, so he is rushing to do what he has done in the northwest for so many years, even if the old man surrenders, Emperor Ning will definitely not spare the old man. ”

Indeed, since Nian Qianyao entered the northwest, he has repeatedly slaughtered the people, and he has already become a target for Ning Chu, and there is no room for peace talks at all. On the contrary, Yue Zhongqi rarely slaughtered with soldiers, and it was only for Tusi, but there were not so many taboos on Ning Chu's side.

Da Ce Ling Dun Dob smiled, he was just a lie just now, "Nian Dashuai, the Great Khan has long admired the prestige of the Great Shuai, if the Great Khan is willing to take refuge in the Great Khan, the Great Khan will definitely not treat the Great Shuai badly." ”

Nian Qianyao groaned, "But the old man heard that the Khan's body is deteriorating, is this true........?"

Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu's face changed, he was the nephew of Arabutan, of course he knew the inside story, but now even Nian Qianyao knew these things, so he gritted his teeth fiercely, and when he went back, he must find out the thief who dared to leak secrets, and directly lit him on the sky lantern.

"Nian Dashuai, the Khan is strong, why is there anything wrong? What's more, the eldest prince is now also a generation of heroes of my Zhunger, his vision and skills are quite similar to Galdan back then, and he has been supported by my Zhunger, even if there are changes in the future, it will not affect the rise of my Zhunger. ”

Nian Qianyao smiled lightly, he was able to understand the meaning of the words back then, and the body bones that wanted to come to the delirium were indeed not good, and the eldest prince Galdan Tseling had also been recognized internally, maybe the battle of the Eastern Crusade was his chance to prove his bravery.......

If this is the case, there is no need to worry too much, before the end of the Eastern Crusade, the eldest prince Ce Ling will not attack Nian Qianyao, and when the time comes, with this time and space, he may really be able to find a new opportunity.

Thinking of this, Nian Qianyao's expression froze, and he said: "Go back and tell the Great Khan, just say that I, Nian Qianyao, am willing to take refuge in the Great Khan, but I also ask the Great Khan to carve out a piece of territory and let my army rest for a while......."

"Then what about Yue Zhongqi? This person must not stay. Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu's expression was first happy, and then he thought of Yue Zhongqi's expression and demeanor just now, but he was a little uneasy.

Nian Qianyao smiled, "Please rest assured, although Yue Zhongqi is talented, the old man will never show mercy when he should be hurt........"
