Section 370
With a wave of his hand, Li Yu ordered Kong Guoer to kneel on the ground and swear - abandon the Lama Red Sect, convert to the Lama Yellow Sect, and follow the tradition of the steppe tribal assembly to decide on all major matters, and never use the strong to bully the weak and judge himself.
"Kong Guoer Ezhe is the only concubine of the Mongolian Great Khan, with the blood of the ancestor Genghis Khan, if one day I can't take care of things, he is the heir to the president of the Naturalization Alliance recommended by me, I believe in him, I hope you also trust him," Li Yu pulled Kong Guoer, walked in front of Batu again, raised his hand and said loudly, "Kong Guoer is young and needs someone to help him, Batu is also a member of the Naturalization League, I recommend him as the vice president of the Naturalization League." ”
Li Yu is deeply expected, but after all, it is not the Son of the Jin clan, and the inheritance of the authority of the Mongolian Khan is not justified, which has become a heart disease of the Mongols who pay attention to bloodline, and today they clearly stated that they will return the rights to the Son of the Jin family, and the Mongolian leaders felt sad, and they were stunned for a while before someone shouted "Hutuketu Batulu, Tengger bless you", "Hutu Ketu Baturu, the spirit of the ancestors thank you"......
Li Yu smiled and waved his hand to signal quietness, and then his face changed and shouted: "March, Eziertu, you two stand up!" ”
Ma Qi and Eziertu stood up very honestly, and Li Yu pointed at them and shouted angrily: "The leaders of the various tribes once met in the Kurustai steppe and publicly elected Batur Hongbaturu as the commander of the Western Regions, but instead of obeying him, you took advantage of the time when Dzungar was fighting against the Rakshasa State to rob and privately divide the land and population of the Yarkand Khanate, what should you be guilty of?" ”
"His subordinates are convicted of their sins and are willing to be punished." March said hurriedly, and then howled cooperatively.
But Eziertu was frightened, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt down and begged for mercy, and at the same time glanced at his uncle Tulu Baihu - the Mongol nobles were not afraid of the royal law, but they feared the assembly from the bottom of their bones, and Li Yu's prestige was too high, and if he proposed to kill him, the tribal leaders would surely agree.
Li Yu beckoned Batu and Tulu Baihu and ordered them to try the case on the spot, this kind of case is too simple, and the result will be given in a short time - Ma Qi and Eziertu committed the same act, and were sentenced to ten lashes, fined 1,000 taels of silver, and sent to the lama monastery for ten days.
"Heaven will spare you a whip, the earth will spare you a whip, I will spare you a whip, beat them seven times, and execute it immediately!" Li Yu shouted.
March and Eziertu wolf howled and were beaten, and honestly returned to their original positions - these whips were not a matter for people with calluses on their buttocks, and they were mainly called out because they were distressed about money.
Batu then stood up to explain the current situation of the Ming, Qing and Rakshasa countries, as well as the establishment of the Datong Federation in Fengzhou, and also read out the draft of the "Federal Regulations" in public.
"Why does Fengzhou only help Han people, we are a family, and the Datong Federation cannot do without us." As soon as Batu finished speaking, a large group of people made a murmur.
"You can't meet the conditions stipulated in the "Federal Regulations", and you are not qualified to abolish slavery, equality, and freedom alone, but it doesn't matter, the Datong Federation does not have you, the Naturalization League has you, and the president will not ignore you!" Batu replied with a smile.
"The customs of the grassland and the customs of the Guannai are different, and it may not be a good thing to put them together, and besides, you don't even have officials to do government affairs, how can you achieve local autonomy? It's better to live your own life first, and then consider joining the federation," Ortai stood up, and then severely criticized Subutai, "You are too reckless, the house arrest of the elders has almost caused a catastrophe, the most important thing in Khalkha at present is to set up industry and commerce, and eradicate poverty, it depends on your own efforts, joining the federation cannot solve the fundamental problem." ”
"No, our people are illiterate, don't settle accounts, and can't do anything except set up cards to collect money, talents, we need talents." Tulu Baihu suddenly shouted, Li Yu lives in Tibetan Lama, and it is of course a good thing that the population and taxes of the former Tibet belong to him, but managing a population of hundreds of thousands is really a headache for him.
"President, there are only more than 100,000 people in Dzungaria, and you can't deal with the Rakshasa country, you have to send me more people, and you have to send people to help me manage the place and train the army, and I also need a lot of talents." Batur also shouted that he would do it well in charge of the tribe, but he was weak in his hands in the Western Regions.
The sun came out of the west, and the Mongol chiefs cried out in bitterness, these guys actually need talents.
Li Yu made the Mongolian tribes miserable, in the past, the Mongols lived a simple life, a few pieces of beef and mutton were a meal, and they could wear a sheepskin jacket to go out with a bare buttocks, and it was easier to fight, with a bow and a few arrows sharpened by themselves, they dared to go into battle, but the food, cloth and weapons aided by Fengzhou made these people also learn to pick, and they were tired of eating meat and wanted to eat food, and they had to wear cloth robes when they went out, and dozens of iron-headed arrows had to come to war-in the face of the increasing demand of the people, the leaders also felt a headache, and it was obviously not a long-term solution to reach out, and they didn't know where to start by doing it themselvesOf course, it is a shortcut to pull some people from Toyosu to work.
"Talent, I'm also lacking, didn't you send some children to naturalize and study, send more people, and it will be good in the future." Li Yu shook his head and replied.
The Mongolian leader shouted even more, and in the next few days, everyone repeatedly argued, Li Yu was pestered impatiently, and promised to send Namur to be the deputy commander of the Western Regions and the prime minister of the Western Regions, the veteran Asari to assist in the military affairs of the Western Regions, the prime minister of the Tibetan area and the West Sea government affairs, and Wang Dengdao and Bi Lige to plan the business and taxation of the Western Regions, Tibetan areas and the West Sea. However, Li Yu was very unwilling, and insisted on digging up Ashu from Dzungaria, Hechilie from Heshuote, and Subutai from Khalkha to the presidential palace.
"I answer, we don't use your people in vain, the ancestor Genghis Khan once used the Mongolian warriors to form a cowardly Xue Iron Cavalry to conquer the world, you are the president of the Mongolian tribes, and there should also be a cowardly Xue Iron Cavalry to accompany you, everyone has discussed, all tribes have sent people, and they have made up a thousand good hands who can open a stone bow, and they will come to naturalize next month." Khalkha's Shuo Lei said with a smile.
Li Yu almost jumped up, I gave talents, but you sent people to mix military salaries, do I lack these thousands of people? Ortai quietly stepped on his foot and replied first: "Okay, we want this iron horse, and all of them will be incorporated into the Flying Tiger Battalion." ”
Yun Rong ran over and said to the Mongolian leaders with a smile: "Do you want to go to Datong for a few days?" Those who want to go come and get the money, thirty taels of silver bills per person. ”
The Mongol leaders thundered with joy, and they rushed up to collect the money, and even the beaten Eziertu was not far behind, and ran away with a stack of money. Ortai pulled Li Yu aside and explained in a whisper: It is not easy to cowardly Xue Tieqi, and the leaders of the tribes hand over their children to the ancestors not only to show their loyalty, but also to give their sons and nephews the opportunity to obtain military merits and titles, so as to glorify the family, and the ancestors will also keep these noble children by their side, entrusting each other with life and death, and guaranteeing that they will never lose the Mongolian tribes, this is a tacit agreement reached by the two sides, if they do not agree, the leaders will be suspicious.
Li Yu nodded, scratched his head and said: "I can't figure it out, these guys have always been independent, guarding the door of the house from entering the rain, this time they suddenly learned to give up power, and they are closely linked step by step, there must be a conspiracy in advance." ”
"You are not Chahar Khan, you have a lot of money and look down on the poor, but they are worried that you will leave it alone and give up the right to play, but they will tie you together and not suffer at all." Ortai laughed.
The Mongolian leader went to play, Li Yu brought Ma Qi to chat a few words, and asked him to go to the lama monastery to recuperate for a few days, and then hand over to Nuo Min, preparing to take over as the prefect of Baoketu, this guy immediately felt that his butt didn't hurt anymore, and he left happily. While it was still early, Li Yu and his entourage rushed to naturalization - the Ming and Qing Dynasty peace discussions only provided the Qing State with a credential, Ma Shaoyu was still empty-handed, and the two sides talked for two days and ended hastily, and the Qing envoy was waiting for the return of naturalization, and proposed to see Li Yu.
In the Commander's Mansion, Sonny handed over a copy of the national letter of the Qing Dynasty, and Shuotuo said angrily on the side: "Erlu, look carefully, we didn't bully people, the surname Ma has not given a letter from the entry of the customs to the present, and the Ming court has not given a letter of approval, and they are playing us again!" ”
The Ming and Qing dynasties touched each other in western Liaoning, and the Qing emperor made a letter of state in advance, and handed over to Ma Shaoyu at the end of the peace conference - the letter of state wrote: If the two countries are sincerely reconciled, since then, the old grudges will be released, and the difference between respect and inferiority should not be compared! Every year, your country gives 10,000 taels of gold, 10000 taels of platinum, our country feeds 1,000 catties of ginseng, 1,000 mink, with Ningyuan Shuangshu Fort in the middle of the soil ridge as your national boundary, with Tashan as our boundary, even the mountains are in the middle of the land and the two countries are in this mutual market, if you want to make peace, quickly send the envoy and the oath to come, and give the letter in the past, otherwise do not send the envoy to the letter also.
Li Yu handed it over after reading the national letter, sat on the chair and closed his eyes to think, Ortai, Batu, Yunrong and others discussed in a low voice for a while, thinking that the conditions of the Qing Emperor were not excessive, and even quite beneficial to the Ming State - Ning Yuan was lonely and hung on the border, and if he could keep it, he would take advantage of it, and the annual currency was only a small part of the Liao salary of more than six million taels per year.
"How's the Four Baylors?" Li Yu opened his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"After Concubine Chen went, the emperor was grieved day and night, his diet was reduced, and he fainted several times, but people in their early fifties were getting thinner and weaker," Ashdarhan kept shaking his head and sighing, looking at Li Yu and said sadly, "You and the emperor have a father-son relationship, the emperor's mind is clear, our Manchuria is still too weak after all, the old Khan has been looking forward to peace with the Ming State since then, the emperor has been talking to Yuan Chonghuan and Shen Di to no avail, this is back to you to talk, eighty percent of them have no news, Erlu, you are a person who wants to face, You can't let the Ming court play a scoundrel again. ”
"I can't figure it out, we are sincere and negotiable, and we have also mentioned it before to be called ministers and change the era name, why do they refuse to accept us, can we only be Jiannu?" Sony blushed with excitement.
"I can't do anything, I'm just a northern captive in the eyes of the courtiers," Li Yu shook his head slightly, still thinking about Sibeile, in the past so many years, some things have gradually understood, as long as he follows the old path of the previous dynasties, whoever sits on that throne will deny his relatives and kill excessively, Sibeile is already relatively merciful, Li Yu raised his head and said, "When you go back, Sibeile will take whatever he lacks, and tell him that there are some things that should be put down, and if he is not in good health, he will live with me for a few days, and I guarantee that he will come and go freely." ”
"Erlu, the emperor can't let go of the future of Manchuria, we lost 10,000 people in the Songjin War, so we have to consider building the Han Eight Banners to make up for the people, the older generation is dead, how many Manchurians are there in the next generation? The second girl of the Abatai Belle family followed you, and the emperor was happy in his heart, and made an exception to make the second girl the princess of Heshuo, and said that running a university is a good thing, and the Qing Kingdom can pay to help you. We are a family, the alliance is logical, we join forces and we no longer have to be afraid of the Han people, the emperor himself said, support your self-reliance, if you don't want to be self-reliant, you will be the prince of Heshuo Jin of the Qing Dynasty, and you will be allowed to be hereditary. Ashdarhan added.
Yun Rong interjected: "No, you all know that the towns of Xuanda are about to establish the Datong Federation, and they respect the Ming Emperor, the Ming and Qing dynasties are in a state of hostility, and the alliance will not only fail to obtain the approval of the parliament, but may also lead to internal chaos in us, you still try to make peace with the Ming Kingdom, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the university, our Chamber of Commerce has money." ”
Batu added: "However, the peace negotiations between the Ming and Qing dynasties are beneficial to the people, and if the Ming court is stubborn, our previous promises will continue to be valid, supporting you to occupy Liaoxi, and if you want to enter the customs and force peace, the scope of activities can even be relaxed to Jinan Mansion in Shandong." ”
Shuo couldn't help sneering, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about Mingguo, now talk about the matter between us, how to calculate the account of Fengzhou's invasion of my Qing Dynasty?" Also, we handed over to you the one hundred and ten Ming officers captured by Songjin, including two general soldiers, and the Mongolian nobles you returned back became chattering, and they were full of 'freedom, equality, and benevolence', and some guys even scolded us as barbarians who believed in shamans and refused to return to the Qing Kingdom, you explain clearly, what is going on? ”
"Our president is recognized by the whole of Mongolia as Hutu Ketu Batulu, inheriting the authority of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and has the right to go anywhere in Mongolia to appease the people, promote good and eliminate evil, and we entered your foreign domain only to punish those who violate Mongolian customs and Buddhist teachings, and bring some of the people who have gone astray back to Fengzhou for teaching, during which there is no offense to the Qing State, but the Eight Banners Army attacked our army for no reason, resulting in the martyrdom of General Dehun An, how should this account be calculated? It's embarrassing to mention the captives, the nobles we returned are all white and fat, but the captives you return are yellow and thin, which must also be explained. ”
Yun Rong was arrogant and angrily reprimanded Shuotuo, but his heart was empty, Fengzhou was indeed excessive, broke into other people's territory and fought hard, and locked up the Mongolian nobles who were captured in the lama temple and brainwashed repeatedly, which is really unreasonable.
The envoys of the Qing Kingdom were furious, and they jumped up together to accuse Yun Rong of being shameless, Yun Rong's face was blue and white for a while, and Li Yu waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "Forget it, the fault is indeed ours, I admit the punishment, Shuotuo, is 50,000 taels of silver enough?" ”
"Don't, don't want to stuff your money into Liaodong." The three envoys replied firmly - Fengzhou money poured into Liaodong in large quantities, not only swept away the silver, but also dominated the market, and had the potential to become the common currency of the Qing State, the imperial court realized the danger, but they had to lose money by minting money, and the printing of money was unanimously opposed, and in desperation they played a stupid way to restrict the entry of Fengzhou money, and Fengzhou did not dare to lose money.
"Don't pull the money down, let me ask you, Hong Chengchou is the person I named and wanted, why don't you send it back?" Li Yu said.
"Just kidding, I finally caught a big fish for you! However, don't blame us, the latest news, Hong Chengchou shaved his hair and returned to my dynasty last month, didn't expect it? Shuoto replied with a smug shake.
Li Yu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and Sony said in a low voice: "Erlu, it is not surprising that Songjin turned the world upside down in the First World War, and people's hearts have changed, do you remember Zhang Chun, who was captured in the First Battle of Dalinghe, the old man died of hunger strike when he heard the news, and Jiang Hongli, the Korean marshal who surrendered in the Salhu War, also hanged himself." ”
Zhang Chun, the former Yongping soldier, was placed under house arrest in Shengjing Sanguan Temple for more than ten years, refused to shave and swore not to surrender, and the Qing emperor did not care, he respected the old man very much, and never treated him badly in his daily life. After Li Yu learned the news, he sent Fan Erxi to greet him several times, and the old man seemed to be worried about the state of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that Li Yu would promote the peace talks of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
"You go to Datong and wait, if the Ming court hasn't answered, go back!" Li Yu sighed and walked out of the lobby.
At the end of June, the bad news came, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was careless, and threw the secret report sent by Ma Shaoyu on the table, and the clerk mistakenly thought it was a Tang newspaper, and handed it over to copy it down, but the whole dynasty was in an uproar, and the voice of opposition to the peace conference rose again, the emperor wanted to whitewash himself, angrily reprimanded Chen Xinjia, and made him defend himself, and Chen Xinjia also knew that it was not good, so he simply went out to evaluate his merits and put it on the table, and also implied that at the instigation of the emperor, the monarchs and ministers passed the buck to each other, and the peace talks of the Ming and Qing dynasties were completely broken, and Ma Shaoyu had to return to Beijing gloomily - Li Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, but he could no longer take care of the Ming court, Hurried to Datong.
At the end of the Datong Conference, the House of Representatives agreed to take Datong as the national capital, and to use Datong as the name of the country, to promote the great harmony of the world, Li Yu was elected president of the Federation without any suspense, Zhou Yi was elected as the prime minister of the Federation, and the Department of Dafa was changed to be composed of nine major judges, and the presidential palace, the parliamentary chamber, and the prime minister's office each recommended three, Ortai became the first major judge, and his and Bai Yuzhu's resignation applications were naturally rejected. The Criminal Trial Division was also established, and Liu Zhilun was elected governor, but it was an empty shelf, and it happened that Wei Jingyuan, the governor of Datong, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, and Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, appointed by the imperial court, arrived and happened to be arrested on an errand.
On the last day of the meeting, Li Yu signed the "Federal Regulations" in public, and gave the most glorious moment to the eldest councillor, Wang Zheng, and the old man excitedly announced loudly: "The "Federal Regulations" will take effect on the same day, and our Datong Federation has been established!
"Long live the Union, long live freedom, long live citizens!" The slogan sounded immediately, and people regardless of nationality embraced each other to celebrate the birth of their country.
"Hermes-Epitek, no matter how hard you work, you will also include Shaanxi in the federation." You Shiwei, Wang Shiqin, Hou Shilu and a group of Yulin people shouted - there are no generals available in the imperial court, and the Yulin generals who live at home are ordered to go to Beijing to wait for the call, and the emperor also summoned them to Zuozhongmen for questioning, but the court is not worth defending, and they then asked for leave and returned to their hometowns.
"The Naturalization League and the Datong Federation are one family, sharing blessings and hardships." The Heshutes, Dzungars, and Khalkhas are also shouting that the establishment of the Datong Federation has given them more confidence.
"The Qing Empire resolutely supports the Datong Federation." Shuoto, Ashdalhan, and Sonny suddenly jumped out and shouted, and Erle and Changshun immediately hugged them.
"God bless the Datong Federation!" Fr. Long Hwa-min prayed with open arms, and more than 100 young people from Toyosu volunteered to study in Europa, and he made a special trip from Beijing to pick up people, and he was very excited about the pomp and circumstance in front of him.
On the first day of July, the towns of Xuanda changed flags, the red flag on behalf of the Ming Kingdom was lowered, and the three-color black eagle flag on behalf of the Datong Federation was raised.
It was also on this day that the Presidential Office announced: the formation of the Shanxi Left and Right Infantry Army, the Great Synchronous Cavalry Association, and the Xuanfu Infantry Army.
