Chapter 527: The Great Khan of Mongolia

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Different from the taciturn guard battalion, the soldiers of the grenadier battalion suddenly let out a burst of shouting and killing when they passed through the Jiangtai, and the thick killing aura suddenly made the Mongolian princes feel a chill in their hearts, and in an instant, some people even avoided their eyes slightly, and subconsciously did not dare to look at the grenadier battalion soldiers below.

As the soldiers of the grenadier battalion passed, almost all the other soldiers of the Fu Han army looked at them and silently performed a military salute, which was not for anything else, but only to express the highest respect for the warriors in the army.

Everyone knows that if the most dangerous place in the army is naturally the grenadier battalion, and even the casualties of the guard battalion are often lower than that of the grenadier battalion, because the guard battalion is a shield after all, which needs to play a protective role, and will not go too deep into the dangerous place, but the grenadier battalion is different, their mission from the beginning is to block the enemy's charge with flesh and blood, and kill back into the enemy position, and always stand on the road of attack.

"The strongest grenadier battalion soldiers, their faces are always facing the enemy, and their fragile backs are always facing their teammates." This is a maxim that has spread wildly in the grenadier battalion, and has even spread to other troops, because behind this sentence, there is a bloody fact - that is, in the casualties of the grenadier battalion of the Fu Han army, almost all of the wounds are frontal.

There is only one reason for the wounds on the front, they never retreat, let alone run away.

The Mongolian princes looked at the grenadier battalion below, and couldn't help but fall into silence, the guard battalion just now could still make them sigh a few words, but the current grenadier battalion made them not even have the heart to sigh, and the only thing left was fear.

After the grenadier battalion passed, there were several more phalanxes, slowly passing through in the drumbeat, they were not too special compared to the guard battalion and the grenadier battalion, but they were also the titled battalions from the divisions and regiments, and they were also the elite of the divisions.

The so-called title battalion refers to the title that has been awarded by the superior in a special battle, and is usually named after the name of the place in recognition of their great sacrifice and exploits.

Compared with the grenadier battalion in front, the titled battalion did not show much momentum, so that the Mongolian princes who were originally sitting honestly in their chairs couldn't help but relax slightly at this time, and even began to comment on the battalion that had just passed.

Although this kind of comment is a positive compliment, it is very different from the silence just now, and it can also be seen how much fear they have of the grenadier battalion in the hearts of the Mongol princes.

Just when everyone was talking, suddenly it was a lot quieter, only to hear a sound of horses' hooves, but it attracted the eyes of the Mongolian princes, it turned out to be the cuirassier regiment under the Praetorian Guard Division of the Fu Han Army, which was lining up in a neat phalanx, walking towards this side.

"The 1st Cuirassier Regiment of the Praetorian Guard Division, it was they who blocked the surprise attack of the Qing army's horse army, and the casualties after the war were also very heavy, 1,500 cavalry almost a third were killed in the battle, and they have barely recovered until now."

Ning Zhongyi looked at the Mongolian princes in front of him, and introduced it indifferently, but this kind of treatment was something that the infantry in front had never enjoyed, but it made everyone feel a shock in their hearts - they were no strangers to the Battle of Bali Bridge, in that battle, the final duel of the cavalry decided the outcome of the battle.

It can even be said that Yongzheng himself died on the way of the cavalry charge.

Therefore, when the interpreter translated Ning Zhongyi's words, all the Mongolian princes at the moment even stood up and looked at the cavalry in front of them with solemn eyes, hoping to get a glimpse of the powerful secret of the Fu Han army.

"Da-da-da-da-"

I saw the cavalrymen of the First Cuirassier Regiment of the Janissary Division of the Fu Han Army, all of them wearing red military uniforms, a layer of black plate armor on the outside, helmets on their heads, and swords in their hands, and shiny Arabian horses under their crotches, with long muskets and handcuffs hanging on the saddles, which looked very heroic.

However, relatively speaking, what is more striking is that each cavalry phalanx is like the infantry phalanx in front, arranged in a neat phalanx, whether it is a war horse or the cavalry above, the movements highlight a neat and uniform beauty.

"Hiss........"

The Mongol princes were shocked again, and this time the shock was even greater, because in their opinion, the Fu Han army was nothing more than a powerful firearm, and the real horse team had to look at them Mongols - but the cuirassiers trained by French cavalry instructors at present highlighted the strength in another sense.

When there is a strong opponent in the field you are familiar with, it is often even more frightening.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the cavalry phalanx of the Fu Han army passed one by one, different from the infantry phalanx, the cavalry phalanx marched faster, so in a short period of time, the whole six cavalry phalanx passed through Jiangtai, and the shock effect they gave to the Mongolian prince has become a deep surprise.

In just one or two years, it was only one or two years to be able to shape such a cavalry army, no matter from which level, it could reflect the strength of the Fu Han army.

After the cavalry phalanx passed, the artillery phalanx came to the field, and the camp they lined up was simpler, first 36 8-pound cannons slowly passed through the podium under traction, then 36 12-pound cannons, 36 18-jin cannons, and finally 12 24-pound cannons.

The muzzles of the cannons pointed diagonally to the sky, shining with a terrifying glow in the sunlight, and behind the cannons were the advancing artillery soldiers, all of whom looked very large and round, with only a six-shot handcuff pinned to their waists, and no other weapons.

Compared with the infantry phalanx and cavalry phalanx in front, the artillery phalanx does not appear very neat, but visually it is easier to make people feel afraid - in the face of so many artillery, destruction has become the only fate.

After all the phalanxes of the Fu Han army had gone up and walked around, almost all the officers of the Fu Han army sitting on the platform had a high-spirited look, while most of the Mongolian princes were in awe, and their eyes looked much more in awe when they looked in the direction of the emperor.

.........

"His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, the ministers of the Sixteen Departments of Southern Mongolia and the Forty-Nine Banners are willing to honor His Majesty as the Great Khan of All Mongolia, the Great Khan of Tengger....... I would like to offer the tribute of nine whites. ”

In the big tent, the leaders of the Mongol tribes in Monan, who had been shocked by the military parade, knelt on the ground and chanted, and most of their eyes were filled with a little awe.

The so-called nine white tributes refer to eight white horses and a white cow, and it is also the highest etiquette for Huang Taiji that year.

Ning Yu sat on the throne and swept over the Mongolian princes in front of him, with a slight smile on his face, "If you want me to be the Great Khan of Mongolia, are you willing to obey my orders?" ”

"Ministers should obey the Great Khan's decree."

The Mongol princes of Monan agreed in unison, but when most of them answered, their demeanor changed slightly, and it was obvious that most of them did not really obey Ning Yu's orders unconditionally, for them, the current scene was no different from the scene in Shengjing back then.

In the final analysis, the Central Plains Dynasty had no way to establish a strong and powerful rule on the grassland, and the strong period may be able to make the Mongol power bow to the ear, but once it declines, these Mongol princes and ministers will naturally not be polite, and their speed of turning their faces is no slower than turning the page.

Ning Yu naturally knew in his heart, and immediately threw out his thoughts, "Since you are all willing to listen to me, how about you take some practical action?" For example, I want all the banners and forces in southern Mongolia to stop nomadism, implement a settlement system, and implement a system of provinces and counties? How is it? ”

What the? Don't let the nomad anymore? And let the Mongols implement the county system?

When Ning Yu's voice just fell, there was a commotion in the tent, for these Mongolian princes, the way of life of the steppe people living by water and grass has been thousands of years, it can be said that farming with the Han people is rooted in the blood, how can you give up now?

"Silence!"

The privy envoy Ning Zhongyi snorted coldly, and looked at the Mongolian princes below with a threatening look in his eyes, but it made the Mongolian princes' hearts sink, and they immediately didn't dare to make any more noise, but they were not convinced at all in their hearts, because although the emperor was supreme, the soldiers had no right to interfere with the way of life of the Mongols.

Ning Yu pondered for a while and said, "Don't you think that I am harming you by letting you give up your nomadism and choose to settle down?" ”

"The ministers don't dare."

The voice of the answer was a little sparse, and it was clear that most of the Mongol princes had chosen to resist, even if those who answered only did not dare to openly oppose it.

Ning Yu sighed slightly, and said: "I actually know a lot about the way of life of the grassland people, I actually know a lot, that is not your original intention, after all, you can stay in one place all the time, and reduce the pain of running around and working hard, no one will be unwilling, but if you are not nomadic then the cattle and sheep will starve to death, and once the cattle and sheep starve to death, the grassland people will naturally not be able to live, are you right to say that I said?" ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true." At this time, most of the Mongolian princes answered very neatly, and they were also looking for death in their hearts, didn't this emperor quite understand?

Ning Yu looked at everyone and said softly: "The reason why I hope that you can be decided, is naturally not that I hope to starve to death, but that I hope that the future Mongolians can gradually get rid of this wandering life. ”

"Your Majesty, the grassland people don't want to be comfortable, what the grassland people need is survival." Zarut sighed softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if it weren't for the sake of living, how could the steppe people fight all day long?"

"Your Majesty's kindness, the ministers and others know in their hearts, but if God doesn't give the grassland a way to live, the ministers can't ......"

The Mongol princes finally spoke their minds, many of them may have become accustomed to fighting for a living, but what is wrong with being able to survive comfortably?

Throughout the ages, herders living on the grasslands have often had a worse life than their inland counterparts, because they are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and many people may starve to death if it is just a snowstorm. In this case, security is just a luxury for them.

Of course, at the same time, because the survival pressure of the grassland will also be transformed into the driving force for external expansion, the ultimate victim is naturally the relatively wealthy Han people in Guannei.

Ning Yu stretched out his hand to stop everyone from continuing, and said, "I understand what you mean, but naturally I will not let the grassland people starve to death, in fact, your life can be completely better." ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty for advice."

"Maintain production, promote commerce and trade, and promote development."

Ning Yu looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and then said, "First of all, the first step is to ensure production. The prairie people are most worried about not being able to survive, so I will send someone to help you build a green storage cellar, bury the green fodder and ferment it, so as to ensure that there is a stable pasture for the cattle and sheep, and if you are well prepared, you don't need to worry about the cattle and sheep dying even in winter. ”

"Your Majesty, what is this green storage cellar? The ministers had never heard of ........"

"My Ministry of Agriculture will tell you the detailed information and the effects of field application at that time, in short, with the promotion of this technology, survival will not be a big problem."

Ning Yu didn't care about the suspicious looks of others, and continued: "Secondly, it is to prosper commerce. There is a shortage of everything in the grassland, so it can be said that the demand for trade is very extensive, so I will establish a trading house on the grassland, and when the time comes, the materials from the interior will be transported to the grassland for sale, and the cattle, sheep and wool from the grassland will be sold to the inland to promote the production and living problems of the herdsmen. ”

"This is good, this is good......." The Mongol princes were immediately overjoyed, they had never rejected the caravans of the steppe, even those black-hearted merchants were often able to make a fortune on the steppe - not really because the steppe people were simple and honest, in fact they had no other better trade options, so they could only suffer in vain.

Ning Yu still didn't bother with those happy princes of the grassland, but continued: "This matter will be in charge of my Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and when the time comes, all the trade arteries and trade centers connected to the grassland will be opened, and all the tolls will be canceled, and only the relevant industrial and commercial taxes will be collected." ”

There was a hint of incredulity on everyone's faces, such generous conditions, they had never heard of them, even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the past, it was impossible for the Mongols to win over them like this, and they still adopted a strategy of pulling and fighting for the Mongols.

It's just that when the topic comes here, everyone can't help but look at Ning Yu with an expectant look - the previous production and commerce are enough to make them feel happy, so what does this last one mean to promote development?
