Chapter 694: Fight for the Western Regions

When Babu learned of the arrival of the Wei envoy, he reported to the three and guessed the Wei envoy's intentions.

The Chechen Khan and the other two looked at each other, and their hearts really wanted to stop them from going south.

The three of them talked a few words in Mongolian, and the Chechen Khan spoke, "Why do we Mobei Mongolia want to form an alliance with your Western Wei State?" ”

Zhou Ronghua said: "Because this is in the interests of several Great Khans. ”

After listening to the translation, Zasaktu Khan spoke: "How to say? ”

Zhou Ronghua said with a smile: "Presumably, a few Great Khans should have heard what happened in the Hetao!" ”

Babu walked over and whispered to the Chechen Khan, and after the Chechen Khan listened, he immediately said: "Yes, I have heard that the old nest of the king of Zasakdoro County has been washed in blood, and it is said that the loss is extremely miserable, but it is just a Phosphine minister, and it does not explain anything, the strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is still very strong, and I don't think that the Western Wei Dynasty can defeat the Eight Banners." ”

Zhou Ronghua said: "You just need to know about it. I want to ask a few great khans, you touch your chest and be honest, even if you go south in Mobei Mongolia, can you please it? Flip it to them. ”

After some processing, Sun Ningtian said: "I didn't mention this matter to discuss whether my Great Wei Iron Cavalry could fight against the Eight Banners, in fact, the Eight Banners soldiers have been defeated by my Great Wei many times. We are here today to analyze the pros and cons of several Great Khans. If Mobei Mongolia goes south, it will face a powerful Wei army, and you will definitely not be able to bargain for a little. The intention of the Manchu Qing is obvious, he just wants to use Mobei Mongolia to contain our Great Wei, and at the same time weaken Mobei Mongolia. At that time, the Great Wei will be pinned, and Mobei Mongolia will inevitably suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, the Manchus will definitely take the opportunity to control you, not to mention the loss of several Great Khans, and in the end, they will be controlled by the Manchus. Why bother? So several Great Khans, should cooperate with us. ”

Zhou Ronghua looked at Sun Listing in a daze, and said in his heart that Mongolian is really fucking verbose, and he must advise the king to let them all speak Chinese.

Mobei Mongolia did not want to go south, the main reason was that they were worried that their strength would be further weakened due to excessive consumption, and finally they would completely become puppets of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the faces of the three of them were still not moved.

In fact, when they decided to meet the Wei envoys, they already had a strategy in their hearts, that is, to sway on both sides, and see who gave the conditions, which was more in line with their interests.

Chechen Khan said in a deep voice: "The Great Qing Dynasty promised to hand over all the materials in Guanzhong to us, and promised us heavy benefits, what can the Western Wei Dynasty give us, is it worth letting us risk breaking with the Great Qing?" ”

Zhou Ronghua smiled, "If the materials in Guanzhong are so easy to take, it will be your turn, and the Eight Banners will go in and grab it themselves." With our Great Wei Hezuo, the king of my family said that he can not only sell grain, tea, and iron tools to you, but also give you the Hetao. ”

This time, Sun Listing translated directly, and the three Great Khans listened to it, but their faces were a little unhappy, but what Zhou Ronghua said was indeed the truth.

If Guanzhong is easy to fight, where can they get their turn, but under the Manchu army, they can't not send troops. If they don't listen to their orders, Dorgon will surely attack them again.

Moreover, Hetao was the land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how did the Western Wei give it to them?

At this time, Zhou Ronghua continued: "My Great Wei is not asking you to break with the Manchus on the surface, if you break up, you will inevitably suffer from the huge pressure of the Manchus, and even suffer from the attack of the Manchus, which is not what my Great Wei is willing to see." What I mean by Dawei is that you and the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Snake Committee have no problem going south to the Hetao, as long as you don't attack my Dawei hard. At that time, we will fight slowly, not only can we trade with each other, but you will also have the opportunity to graze in the loop. With such cooperation, you have nothing to lose! ”

Chechen Khan's triangular eyes narrowed, obviously moved.

The Wei envoy meant that by taking advantage of the Manchu Qing's desire for them to attack the Western Wei Dynasty, Mobei Mongolia could go south, but it needed to maintain a certain tacit understanding with the Western Wei State, which was called attacking Guanzhong and looting materials, which was actually a collusion between the two.

If this is the case, Mobei Mongolia is completely able to take advantage of this opportunity to graze cattle in the Hetao while bringing iron tools from the Western Wei Dynasty to equip the warriors of Mobei and restore the strength of Mobei.

"Let's think about this again!" Chechen Khan finally spoke.

In Beijing, in the artillery casting workshop of the Ministry of Industry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Dolgon was accompanied by Hong Chengchou and others to inspect the equipment cast by craftsmen.

In the war with the Wei army, after many defeats, the Qing army learned from the pain, and felt that the bravery of the soldiers of the Eight Banners did not lose to the Wei army, and the reason why the Wei army was able to win was mainly because of the advantage of equipment.

When Nanjing sent a fine worker to infiltrate the city of Xi'an and peep into the Wei army's ordnance manufacturing, the Manchu Qing in Beijing also began to order the imitation of the captured Wei army's equipment.

At this time, Doll rolled and led a group of people to the cannon casting workshop in the outer city, where several blast furnaces for refining copper and iron were rising black smoke, and in the room next to the blast furnace, the craftsman was drilling a gun.

Dolgon looked at the busy workshop and said to Hong Chengchou: "Gao Manzi moves quickly, this king is a little careless, he has already captured Sichuan and incorporated the Guanning army, if he continues to let him develop, within three years, he is afraid that he will go east out of Tongguan!" ”

Dolgon said as he walked: "According to the information obtained by Xizuo, after Gao Yihuan captures Sichuan, his next strategy is likely to be to pass through the Western Regions. Now that the Qing Dynasty is unable to cross the Yangtze River to the south, it is difficult to expand its power in the Guannei, and this king has decided to subdue Mobei Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia to the west, and compete with Gao Yihuan for the Western Regions. ”

Hong Chengchou pondered: "The Xiongnu unified the grassland, and the Han occupied the land in the pass, and they still need to ally the Western Regions to fight back against the Xiongnu." The land occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty, but Qin, Chu, and Shu only accounted for one-third of the world, and if the Qing Dynasty could unify the grasslands and control the Western Regions, the Western Wei State would be strategically passive. ”

Dol rolled his head slightly: "This king is exactly this idea, to unify the Mongolian tribes, my Qing Dynasty will immediately have 200,000 more people to control the strings, and it will definitely be able to re-form an absolute advantage." However, the strength of Mobei Mongolia still exists, and Moxi Jungger controls more than 100,000 strings, and it is not an easy task for me to realize the great cause of unifying Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty! ”

As he spoke, Dolgon suddenly picked up a firebolt from the side and asked, "Master Hong, how many self-generated firebolts can the Ministry of Industry make in a month now?" ”

Hong Chengchou hurriedly saluted: "Back to the regent, there is a shortage of skilled craftsmen in the workshop, and now in a month, it can make up to a hundred self-generated firecrackers!" ”

Dol's face sank, "So little? No, we have to increase production. ”

Hong Chengchou looked embarrassed, so he immediately saluted: "Regent, Gao Yihuan started to make guns five years earlier than us, and trained a large number of craftsmen, and we have just started, and the output will definitely not be able to increase for a while." However, if the regent gives the courtiers a person, he may be able to increase some production. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Dorgon wondered.

Hong Chengchou said: "Westerner Tang Ruowang! ”
