Chapter 462: The Mongols Invade the Border (Page 1/2)

Although he had suffered heavy losses from the night attack, Dodor felt that he could hold out a bit.

At this time, he thought that the factors that could affect him to continue the siege of the city, only the small court of Nanjing sent troops, and he didn't want Nanjing to move, but Mobei Mongolia in the north suddenly went south.

This is not surprising, the living conditions on the grassland are too bad, and it is a common thing for the northern ethnic groups to attack the Central Plains, which can be said to be commonplace.

When the Ming Dynasty was there, they fought the Ming Dynasty, and now the Manchus rule the north, so they will rob the Manchus.

Nomadism is so horizontal, who wants to rob whomever it wants, it has been the case for generations, they only recognize fists and interests, and never talk about any big truths.

You occupy the rich land of the Central Plains, that is, I want to beat you, what are you doing?

There are about 100,000 people in Mobei Mongolia who invaded the border this time, and the leader is Erchuhuer of Khalkha Mongolia, who has broken through the wall and entered the territory of Datong.

At this time, the areas ruled by the Qing court, Beizhili and Shandong were relatively dilapidated, and Shanxi, because of the closed environment, was a relatively intact territory, which was an important source of food and salary for the Qing army.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied the north for nearly two years, except for Guanzhong, the Liukou were basically wiped out, and there was no burden of Liao and border towns, which could barely meet the operation of the Qing court, but it was a little difficult to divide the interests and stabilize Mongolia.

Although as early as the Huangtaiji period, Mobei Mongolia had paid tribute to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was only a superficial submission.

Since last year, the foreign feudal departments have begun to be a little dissatisfied with the Manchus because they have not obtained any benefits, and many of the conditions promised by the Qing court have not been fulfilled due to lack of materials.

Now the Manchu Qing mainly relied on enclosing land and turning the Eight Banners into slave owners to maintain the unity within the Eight Banners, but these lands could not be given to foreign vassals, and the materials seized by the Qing army were limited, and there was nothing to open border markets, to reward Mongolia, and stabilize Mongolia, so there was this Mongolian invasion.

In the past two years, in Beizhi, Shandong, and northern Henan, there have been no rebellions, no military disasters in the east, and the deaths are almost the same, the land contradiction has been resolved, and the local area has been restored to a certain extent, but these places have been destroyed too hard before, and they still can't provide too much for the Qing army, and the main tax area of the Qing army is still Shanxi Province.

The Shun army occupied Shanxi for less than three months, and fled from all over the country, without any major battles, and Li Zicheng's eastern expedition was to seize the world, so it was not as many killings as when he was in Henan, and Shanxi's vitality was preserved.

In addition, the foreign trade dominated by the Jin merchants gradually recovered, and Shanxi's commerce was relatively prosperous, and the Qing court sent officials to loot, making Shanxi an important province to support the Qing court's finances.

Historically, Jiang Xiang was anyway, and the Sanjin Dynasty responded in groups, that is, because the Qing court was too ruthless in looting Shanxi, and the original social structure was not completely destroyed, and many gentry and clans participated in the rebellion, so that such a large-scale rebellion could be formed.

Duoduo received the news that the Khalkha Mongols had invaded Shanxi, and Dol rolled him to hurry back to help, and the war in front of him could not continue.

Geng Zhongming listened to Duoduo's words, and his face was also shocked, he didn't expect that Mobei Mongolia would suddenly invade Shanxi.

Compared with the previous Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had three advantages, one was that there was no burden of border towns, the second was that there was no clan and no tax payment, and the gentry and landlords did not dare to evade taxes, and the third was that there was no trap of rogues.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has more than 100,000 Eight Banners to raise, so the advantage of the second article is not obvious, but the privileged class of the Ming Dynasty does not fight, the old Zhu family purely sucks the blood of the country, and the Lord of the Eight Banners is not corrupt now, and he can still fight for the Qing court and make a lot of effort.

In addition, there was Gao Yihuan to make trouble, and there was a Ming army to defend, and most of the third advantage was also neutralized.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing had the advantage mainly in the first one, relying on their relationship with the Mongols, they did not need to maintain a large nine-sided military town on the line of the Great Wall.

Successive dynasties of the Central Plains had the responsibility of guarding against northern nomadism, and in order to guard against northern nomadism, the money and grain invested often accounted for a large part of the imperial court's income
