Section 291
The text of the peace treaty was quickly agreed, and Buyantu and Qi Chongge drew a pledge on the peace treaty, which was a happy result for everyone - Fengzhou got a large piece of land, and there was a depth of nearly 1,000 miles from naturalization to the east to Duolunor, and the threat of the Jin State was greatly reduced, as for the jade seal of the country, it was just a valuable antique in the eyes of the merchants, and it was worth the money in exchange for the huge business opportunities with the Jin State, although the officials were a little distressed, but they also understood that this thing was too hot, and if it was not done well, it would cause a big disaster, so it was best to make a move as soon as possible; The Jin State is also satisfied, that land is not theirs in the first place, and it is beyond the reach of the whip if you want to control it, it is the most realistic to get the benefits first, according to Tiancong Khan's idea, if you can't eat the opponent, you will be friends with the opponent, with Fengzhou as a potential ally, the pressure on Ming Guo on him has suddenly decreased; Yang Sichang of Yanghe will definitely be happy, the outside of the Xuanfu border is controlled in the hands of Naturalization Town, the front line of Xuanda is completely safe, and the Naturalized General Soldier just wants to do some business, what's so terrible about this?
On the day of the signing of the peace treaty, the two sides swore an oath on a black cow and a white horse by the lightning river, Qi Chongge represented the Jin State, and Buyantu represented Fengzhou, and jointly swore to the sky to abide by the peace treaty, and those who violated it would be punished by heaven - but both sides cheered for the truce, but ignored a problem, Chahar has always said that he only obeys the Mongolian Great Jinong, not the Great Commander of Fengzhou, and has always been outside the Fengzhou system, Li Yu is too lazy to care about them, this fish that slipped through the net is backed by the boss Fengzhou, but is not subject to the constraints of the Great Commander's Office, and finally provoked a big war between Fengzhou and Jin a few years later.
Jin Jun then immediately packed up and returned to China, although Li Yu repeatedly asked them to stay for a few more days, so as to prepare some gifts to bring to relatives and friends in Liaodong, but Jin Jun has already learned well, and must not let the soldiers on both sides idle to contact, the current soldiers are not easy to bring, and they will have the idea of defecting to Free Fengzhou at every turn, so it is better to leave early. However, Li Yu did not let them go, and led a group of Zhushen soldiers to catch up and say goodbye, Tu Lichen, Fei Yangwu, Haishan and Dehun An's subordinates were Zhushen soldiers, and when they saw their fellow villagers, they pulled out of the team, and the Jin soldiers were not angry, tears flowed loudly, Dolgon felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop it, the Fengzhou soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers hugged each other and cried and laughed together, and the lightning river was suddenly full of people.
In the whistle of the Fengzhou army, Duolong and the captives returned to the team with honor, these guys were all wearing the woolen military uniforms of the Fengzhou army, stepping on brand new leather boots, and lined up to rush back to their ranks with red faces, and the Jin army surrounded them with envy and shouted - when the prisoners also earned a new set of clothes, these guys were so lucky, this kind of handsome military uniform is really covetous. Ao Bai, who had eaten and drunk well for a few days, also returned, in addition to a new military uniform, he also carried a black and shiny double-barreled horse, and proudly told the Baylors that his brother Erlu had sent a hundred sets of military uniforms and a hundred horseguns, and the officers of the Jin Army were crazy with joy and rushed to grab them wildly.
"Erlu, how can you let us fight with you after you do this?" Yue Tuo said sourly.
"Will we still fight? Is it a family now? Li Yu smiled and hugged Hauge, stuffed a brand-new horse gun into his hand, and then pointed to Chang Shu and said, "My senior brother has been away from home for a year, and I want to go back to see the family, so it's convenient for you to give him back to me after the beginning of spring." β
"Chang Shu, who are you from?" Sakhalian couldn't help but ask, Chang Shu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly stuffed him with two books - "Toyosu University" and "Toyosu Gewu", Sakhalian patted Chang Shu and closed his mouth with a smile.
"It's getting late, let's hit the road." Dolgon urged, keeping an eye on his team, fearing that someone would take advantage of the chaos and become deserters, and he became impatient.
The Jin army set off in a hurry, many of them had gifts from their fellow villagers, showing off to each other and saying good things about Fengzhou while walking, and the officers also wore new military uniforms to be more handsome than anyone. Hauge played with the horse gun and muttered, is this to fight a war or to visit relatives? Dolgon, however, pointed out that Eru was a big villain, not only disturbing the hearts of our army, but also trying to make money from the Golden Kingdom.
Finally sent these guys away, and Fengzhou bought a few more years to recuperate - Li Yu looked at the back of Jin Jun and breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his face to the generals of Fengzhou and ordered: "Asari, Dehun An, follow them to receive Duo Lunoer, Darhan, Martyr's Ceremony, you go north to control the Sanbula River, immigration is about to begin, clean up the territory for me first." β
Li Yu returned to the camp of Dushikou and immediately reported to Yang Sichang, and by the way, he boasted about the tragedy of the great battle, and asked for some more money and food to be given to him in order to compensate for the dead and wounded and reward military merits. Three days later, Yang Sichang replied, mentioning Li Yu's boastful military exploits, but asked Li Yu if he was secretly masterminding the Shanxi gentry to escape taxes, and the imperial court had allowed the mines to be opened to shelter the homeless people, but the government was shy and had no money and food to use, and asked Li Yu to lend him some money first, and then give some war horses to replenish armaments-Xuanda Governor Xuanda was aware of everything, which frightened Li Yu and no longer dared to stretch out his hand to him.
There is no abnormal situation in the retreat of the Jin army, Duolunuoer and Sanbulachuan have taken advantage of the situation, and now they should withdraw their troops - Li Yu brought Liu Xingzuo, Buyantu and other civil and military officials to discuss, everyone thinks that at least this year it is impossible to fight again, and the immigration matter should be started immediately.
"Good news, the Great Commander's Office has agreed to open up the Khalkha trade route immediately, good brother, we have made a fortune, and my brother will fly with you! Fly! The Khalkha merchant Derge suddenly shouted and broke in, startling Li Yu.
"Don't fly, why aren't you running around in naturalization? Terige, you said something happened. Li Yu drank Derge and turned his face to look at Terrig behind him.
"Grand Commander, you are going north to Khalkha, I will accompany you, this is the official document of the Grand Commander's Palace." Terige smiled bitterly and handed a letter to Li Yu.
When the news of Jinguo's withdrawal from the army reached the council, Derge, the councillor of the council, immediately jumped out and swore with a few Khalkha businessmen to be the leading party - the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce had promised to hand over the business agency of Khalkha to them, which was a big deal, and they couldn't sleep well if they didn't get it. Derge and others boasted about the business prospects of Khalkha, and suggested that while the Jin army was retreating, the Khalkha trade route should be opened, and the sooner the better, otherwise it would be bad for Khalkha to surrender to the Jin State.
The emotions of the businessmen were stirred, and the Khalkha had long been targeted, and the bill to open up the Khalkha trade route was successfully passed. Wu Langha couldn't sit still, and came forward as the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the commander of the merchant army to support the dispatch of troops to Khalkha, and at the same time suggested that the Chamber of Commerce hire a thousand merchant troops to rush to Chahar to prepare to assist the Fengzhou army to go north. Under the influence of businessmen, the common people of Fengzhou, no, should be called citizens now, and they were inexplicably excited, as soon as the commander came out, the world-famous Eight Banners Army immediately got out, and Fengzhou easily expanded hundreds of miles, so it would be hard again, and by the way, the Khalkha would also be included in the bag.
At the meeting, Li Jianji resolutely advocated sending troops to Khalkha in accordance with the will of the people, and believed that the original preparation of food and ammunition for one month outside the border of Xuanfu was carried out, but the Jin army retreated without a fight, and this expenditure could not be prepared in vain, it was better to go to Khalkha and find a way to make money for Fengzhou. After discussion, the Office basically agreed with Li Jianji's opinion, and only changed the purpose of sending troops from opening up trade routes to negotiating business, and left Li Yu to consider how to handle the matter himself.
"Do you want to exhaust Lao Tzu to death, do you send troops to negotiate business?" Li Yu scolded and spread out the map handed over by Derge - Derge was really attentive, and marked the mountains, rivers, lakes, sandy lands, and tribes on the way that he thought of on the map.
"The expedition to Mobei is too difficult, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Ming army had attacked the Northern Yuan several times, but the defeat was more than the victory, basically in vain, Emperor Chengzu went out of the desert to show off his martial arts, and the Ming army's defense line retreated to the south to the side wall. This Sanbula River is the only way to enter Mobei, the famous generals Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng have been in and out many times, but the Ming army has never been able to control it, and Sun Xingzu, the branch of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, also died in that area, which is a hard job! Ma Guangyuan, the most knowledgeable, pointed to the picture to explain to everyone, and finally shook his head and said, "The key is to provide food, where is the grain station?" How do I ship forward? It's all big problems, the Khalkha people's nest is on the Khalkha River two thousand miles away, and now it's less than two months away from heavy snowfall, and it's too late in time. β
"But we also have advantages, equipment, combat power and mobility far exceed the Ming army, and it is not the enemy of ordinary steppe tribes, and the Sanbula River is already in our hands, maybe we can fight for it, Derge, if we don't go to the Khalkha River, cross the big sands to the north and wait on the spot, will the leaders of the Khalkha come?" Liu Xingzuo asked thoughtfully.
"It's hard to say, after the big sands is Tushetu Khan's territory, I can send someone to contact him, but the Khalkha people have always dragged their feet, and the devil knows when they will come, so it's best to beat Tushetu Khan first, and he will definitely pull Zasaktu Khan and Chechen Khan together, and run and jump to find the door." Derg replied with a smile.
Everyone laughed, Li Yu waved his hand and said: "In this way, the infantry of the two associations will stay near the old Shangdu city to meet the front and back, and the cavalry left the left association in Sanbulachuan, and set up the grain platform there, and the cavalry right association and the artillery association are equipped with enough horses, each carrying five buckets of fried rice through the big sand, and creating some movement near Lake Salonor, which can attract them the best, and if it is not good, they must be withdrawn before the heavy snow." β
Ma Guangyuan and Terrig both thought that this was more safe, and then the two quarreled over who would go on the expedition and who would stay behind, and Mo Rige came in from outside the tent to present an urgent report, and whispered a few words in Li Yu's ear.
"Bastard Tuba, what is he doing in Sanbulachuan?" Li Yu slammed the table and said to everyone, "The Chahar people went north without authorization and were defeated by the local tribes outside the northern entrance of the Sanbula River, suffering hundreds of casualties, let's set off immediately." β
"It must have been done by the people of the Maomingan, Ulate, Abahai and Sizi tribes of Polo Korqin, they have been operating in that area, and they have long taken refuge in the Jin Kingdom, the Great Commander, destroy them!" Derg stood up with his fist raised.
Sanbula River, the only way to cross the mountains to the north of the desert, after the Ming forces were expelled from the desert, Mongolia is gradually divided, the grassland tribes guard their homes, do their own thing, here has become a wilderness that no one cares about, except for the occasional caravan passing by, there are few people in ordinary times, but today it is suddenly lively, the black eagle flag is planted on the key points everywhere, and people are also coming and going in Sichuan, there are Chahar battalions with the black eagle flag, there are Fengzhou merchant troops with the wolf's head flag, and there are Chahar young and strong who shout, There were also the merchants of Toyosu who led the convoy to come, and there was a lot of commotion - there were armored soldiers at the north entrance, which was much quieter, and a group of people gathered on a small hill and pointed to the north.
"Tuba, Tutu, you two can't hide your ideas from me, it's not so easy to grab the population, you can't even help men, women and children who are not fully armed, you deserve to lose the battle!" Sun Tingyao, who was wearing a guerrilla military uniform, said arrogantly that he was now the vice chairman of the Council, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the superintendent of the merchant army.
Fengzhou and Jin negotiated a truce, and the Chahar people also returned to their hometown, but they unexpectedly found that the Fengzhou merchant army was coming, and Tuba and Bangtu figured out what was going on, and immediately had the idea of getting a piece of the pie, leading 3,000 Arima Qingzhuang to rush to Sanbula River first, and went out of the north without authorization. The Chahar people were unlucky, they didn't have time to show their skills, they met the Polo Korqin people, this is a sworn enemy, Chahar Khan was defeated by them on the way to the north of Khalkha last time, and even the Great Khan's Wuyun Nahatun was also taken away, and the two sides were red when they met, and the men, women and children of all tribes of the people worked together to beat the Chahar people to the ground.
"Can you blame me, I don't have armor soldiers, Darhan and Martyrdom don't listen to me, people have a lot of black pressure, it's good that we can escape back." Tuba defended aggrievedly, and glanced at Darhan and Darhan by the way.
"We are a regular army, and it is the military order of the commander to hold the Sanbula River, but we don't dare to be sloppy, how can we run around like you." Darhan replied dismissively.
"I'm the Prime Minister of the Chahar Commandery, so I don't want to listen to what I say?" Tuba angrily quarrels with Darhan, and Buntu and Martyr immediately join in.
"Don't argue, I'm a guerrilla top-grade, the highest rank here, and now they all listen to me," Sun Tingyao waved his hand to stop the quarrel, and glanced at Tuba and them by the way, "What, you're not convinced?" β
The military rank is the guerrilla middle grade, the lower grade of the Darhan, the martyrdom is not angry, Tuba, Zhentu also bowed their heads, this person can't afford to provoke it, the Dongsheng Iron Works and the Baoketu Iron Works in the four major iron factories in Fengzhou are his, and the Dongsheng silver banknote shop in the three major silver banknotes is also his, not only rich but also the big boss of the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce that the Chahar people are most afraid of - the Chahar Commander's Mansion also wants to learn from Fengzhou to collect taxes, but it can't learn, but it makes a miasma of smoke and complaints, Li Yu is furious, In the capacity of Dajinong, he ordered to prohibit the Chahar Commandery's Mansion from taxing the people, and only retained the customs tax on the goods imported and exported from Fengzhou and Chahar, but they all entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to collect and pay according to the Fengzhou tax system, and the income tax was used to maintain the normal operation of the Chahar government offices at all levels, as well as the military expenses and food and salary after the restoration of the two battalions on the left and right sides of Chahar.
"This battle is actually very easy to fight, we have two thousand battalions, one thousand merchant troops, and thousands of horses and weapons are strong, and the equipment and combat power are far superior to the other party, Tuba, Zhentu, you two bring them over, see how I clean them up," Sun Tingyao shook his head proudly, he had seen a few big scenes but it was different, this time he wanted to show his hand to this group of dirt buns, and pointed to everyone to remind, "Don't run too fast for the people who deliver the letter to the commander, so that we have time to finish this battle first, and deal with a group of wooden sticks, The rabble of bone arrows still has to wait for the battalion soldiers, and it is a shame to say it! β
These guys who are afraid of embarrassment will do what they say, Tuba and Jintu will take the Chahar people out to rob again, and the Polo Korqin people have not dispersed yet, and when they see this group of thieves, they chase and fight, and hit the ambush soldiers who are waiting for them halfway. The rest is simple, Sun Tingyao commanded Ruoding to respond to the battle calmly, and defeated this group of rabble - the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the Polo Korqin people are poor, and the combined tribes are only a hundred sets of armor, using more wooden sticks and dung forks than iron knives and spears, and most of the arrows shot are made of animal bones and stones, although there are nearly 10,000 men, women, and children, but they are too weak in the face of the enemy armed to the teeth.
Encountering such a weak opponent, it is difficult for Sun Tingyao to defeat the battle, the Chahar battalion soldiers have fought a bad battle, and the merchant army is also a horse thief and a veteran of the guard hired by the Chamber of Commerce, with horses and armor well-equipped, it is easy to deal with the poor people, even the merchants and their bodyguards also ran to join in the fun, without waiting for the other party to approach, the dense rain of arrows and guns will hit over, the poor Polo Korqin people have not approached the opponent and the corpses are all over the field, Tuba and Tuntu and the gang took the opportunity to rush up to take revenge, and the Polo Korqin people were crushed at the touch.
When Li Yu led the battalion to arrive, the battle was over, and the Chahar battalion and the merchant army were leisurely gathered together, while eating, they boasted about their bravery, and the busiest were the people of Tuba and Tuntu, who all ran around to catch life, and at this time they would not encounter a strong enemy when they went out. Groups of captured Polo Korqin were brought back one after another, and sat on the ground trembling under the drive of whips and clubsβthe ferocious enemy had exterminated them, and their fate would only be at the mercy of heaven.
"Send someone to pacify the captives at once, and get them some food." Li Yu sighed and said, those men, women and children sitting on the ground in ragged clothes and with yellow faces and thin muscles couldn't stop crying, he felt panicked in his heart, maybe it was like this when Ula was exterminated, and now he has done the same thing as Jin Guo.
