Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 710 The First Rat at Both Ends

Nan Chu thought about it for a while, and finally reacted, it turned out that the other party actually regarded himself as living evidence. When he understood, anger suddenly ignited in his heart.

"At both ends of the first rat, mercenary is the eye. These descendants of Genghis Khan are indeed inferior from generation to generation. Nan Chu couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

In his opinion, in order to unify the steppe tribes, Lin Dan Khan, who had to attack his tribes in name after nominally submitting to himself under the threat of the Qing Dynasty, was already a relatively short-sighted of the Mongol Great Khan.

But Lin Dan Khan at least had the great ambition of unifying the steppe tribes and restoring the Mengyuan Empire. And after Lin Dan Khan's whereabouts were unknown, these Chahar Nayan people didn't even have such ambitions. They only think about whether their personal interests have been damaged, and completely ignoring such a dynasty, Qin, and Chu, will make the Mongol tribes further lose the space for maneuver between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After something like this happens today, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Kingdom, who will continue to let these Nayan people control their own people? And even if these subordinates directly under the Nayan people, once they see through their weakness and incompetence, they will further abandon them and directly pledge their allegiance to the Ming Kingdom or the Qing Dynasty.

If it was in the past, Nan Chu would definitely have a drink for the performance of these Mongolian Nayans, because such an incompetent and short-sighted Mongolian Nayan would not be able to lead the Mongolian tribes to reunify into a steppe kingdom.

With the threat of force and diplomacy from the Qing Dynasty, he was confident enough to merge the Mongol tribes into the Qing Dynasty one by one, and could no longer become an independent political group.

But at the moment, he would rather have one or two far-sighted heroes to unite the Mongol tribes, thus destroying the Ming Dynasty's assimilation strategy for the Mongol tribes.

For the Qing Dynasty, it was naturally a superior policy for the Mongol tribes to merge into the Qing Dynasty as individual tribes, expand the foundation of the Manchu people's governance, and rule the Han people with a population of hundreds of trillions with a population of 100 million yuan as a whole.

Of course, since the Ming people seemed to have opened their minds and competed with the Manchus for control of the Mongol tribes in southern Mongolism, this superior strategy was already out of reach for the Manchus.

Then we can only hope that there will be another figure similar to Lin Dan Khan among the Mongols, who has the ambition to restore the Mongol Yuan Empire, and also has a certain talent and appeal, so as to lead the Mongol tribes in southern Mo to rebel against the rule of the Ming people.

Although such an independent Mongolian political force also posed a threat to the Qing Dynasty's domination of the Mongolian tribes, today, when the Ming State is getting stronger and stronger, at least the two sides can still hold together to keep warm and fight against the political oppression of the Ming Dynasty.

For the Manchurians, the worst-case scenario is the current situation. The Mongols are fighting at home and have no resistance to the outside. They could only watch as the Ming people gradually annexed and absorbed these Mongolian tribes and turned them into part of the Ming power.

After losing its independent Mongol power, the Qing Dynasty became a caged bird and could no longer fly out of the huge birdcage of Liaodong. Smart people like Nan Chu have been able to foresee that once the Ming Dynasty fully recovers from natural and man-made disasters, it will be the season to break the birdcage and catch birds.

However, for the cage strategy of the Ming people, the Qing Dynasty had no way at all. The north is an endless deep mountain and old forest, and the east is the sea, such a terrain has constrained the possibility of the Qing Dynasty to develop to the north and east.

The Monan Grassland to the west and the Liaoxi Corridor to the south, and behind them is the rich Guannai region of the Ming Kingdom. It was only through these two places that the Qing were able to weaken the power of the Ming State in order to strengthen their own power.

Although the Mandate of Heaven Khan almost wiped out the Ming army in Liaodong, with a huge population and rich territory, the Ming people reorganized and trained the military town of Liaoxi in the shortest possible time, and established the Ningjin defense line, thus blocking the possibility of the Manchus moving south from the Liaoxi corridor.

Therefore, after Tiancong Khan ascended the throne, he tried to find a new way and detoured south from the Monan grassland, so as to avoid the Ningjin defense line that the Ming people had painstakingly managed. Moreover, it can also be used to envelop the Mongol tribes in southern Mo and invite them to plunder the Ming Kingdom together, so as to deeply tie the Mongols and Manchus together.

However, this great idea was destroyed by Emperor Ming, who had just ascended the throne. An imperial brother who was originally unrelated to the throne unexpectedly ascended to the throne of the Ming Emperor because of the death of the apocalypse.

This Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who seemed to be just a teenager, actually dared to take the undefeated Guan soldiers of the Ming Kingdom to run to the Qing soldiers who invaded Jizhou, and he was not worried about another Tumubao Change, making him the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be captured.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is too big, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, even if the Qing soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, they can't stop the Ming army that is constantly being transferred up. The Ming army, which was boosted by the emperor's personal conscription, finally drove the Qing army out of Jizhou.

The defeat of this battle, for the Qing Dynasty, the biggest blow was not the loss of soldiers encountered in the war and retreat, but the bankruptcy of the strategy of detouring through the Monan grassland to enter the pass and plunder.

Through this battle, the Mongol tribes found that the Ming were not weak enough to allow them to break through the customs and plunder the interior at will. On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty had no ability to stay in the border pass of the Ming State for a long time, so after the Qing army broke through the border pass of the Ming Dynasty and withdrew, the Ming people could calmly retaliate against the tribes who assisted the Qing army to enter the pass.

The Mongols finally reacted, isn't this the white dog eating and the black dog suffering. As the Ming expanded their daily trade with the steppes, the Mongols became less interested in the Manchu raids.

However, with the setback of the Manchu Qing's political offensive against the Mongol tribes in southern Mo, the results of the Ming people's efforts to win over the Mongol tribes were advancing by leaps and bounds. When Lin Dan Khan was attacked and disappeared by the Qing army, the Ming people took advantage of this to sign a brotherly alliance with the Mongol tribes, thus establishing a northern defense line covering the desert steppe.

Nan Chu's heart kept flashing these thoughts, and by this time he also understood that the rebellion instigated by the killing of Gonchuktaiji this time was probably a failure, and these short-sighted Mongolian Nayan once again turned back to the position of the Ming Dynasty.

After Nan Chu's thoughts turned, he finally calmly persuaded the other party again: "Everyone, capriciousness is the behavior of villains, do you really think that after arresting me, the court of the Ming Kingdom will be able to let you go?"

The consequence of your doing this is to offend both the Ming Kingdom and my Qing Dynasty. The governor of Yuan, who expelled the Ming Kingdom, is in front, and the envoy who kidnapped me from the Qing Dynasty is behind, I think that whether it is the Ming Kingdom or my Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that they will not be able to accommodate such capricious villains, right? ”

Nan Chu's words immediately aroused the anger of several Na Yan, Desen Jinwang clapped his hands to quiet his companions, and after coughing lightly a few times, he said: "Why should Nan Chu's envoy speak hurtfully, no matter how badly you scold, the matter is irreparable." If you are willing to be captured, I am willing to save your life in front of the angels of the court, what do you think? ”

Nan Chu's eyes were fixed on the other party, and he replied for a long time: "You are so sure that you can talk about the generals in the city?" Since ancient times, how can there be an army that can go back after a rebellion, if you are willing to do it, those soldiers can also agree.

If I'm not mistaken, the army in the city seems to have more troops in our hands, except for Morrigan's men, do you really plan to have an internal war with us? ”

Desen Jinwang looked at Nan Chu with some pity and said, "Except for the soldiers in this courtyard, there is no more of your army.

It is true that the Living Buddha of Zhangjia did not come alone, and the young master of the Chahar Department, Ezhe, also came. After the news spread in the city the night before yesterday, many officers and men in the army had already left the city to swear allegiance to Ezhe yesterday.

Haven't you noticed yet? Most of Princess Tyson's generals don't appear here today, where do you think they will go? ”

Nan Chu's heart sank suddenly, but he still said calmly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Princess Taisong's subordinates have made a great effort in the rebellion, they ran to pay allegiance to Ezhe, aren't they afraid of being detained by the Ming people for questioning?" ”

Desen Jinwang shook his head and said, "After all, Gonchuk Taiji is just the husband of Princess Taisong, and Ezhe is the nephew of Princess Taisong and the master of the Chahar Department. For Ezhe, these subordinates will be regarded as his descendants, and he naturally wants to come out to protect them.

Therefore, yesterday Ezhe had promised the soldiers who went out of the city to meet him that this rebellion would only be counted on Gunchuktaiji, and anyone who was willing to cut off with Gunchuktaiji could be regarded as victims of coercion.

Well, Princess Tyson's generals have been deceived by you, so they are naturally victims of the rebellion rather than participants. Ao, in addition to the envoys of Nanchu, if you are now on our side, you can also be regarded as victims of coercion to participate in the rebellion. ”

Desen Jinwang suddenly turned his head and said this to the Mongolian generals who were standing beside Nan Chu, which suddenly gave rise to a glimmer of hope for these generals who were already desperate for the future, and several generals in the corner subconsciously moved their steps away from Nan Chu's side.

Desen Jinwang looked at these emotionally fluctuating generals, and couldn't help but add, "If the equal Zhe and the imperial court angels enter the city, you won't have a chance to change your position, do you really plan to die with the Nanchu envoy?" ”

As soon as Desen Jinwang's words fell, together with the generals who had just moved their steps, several more people quickly walked behind Desen Jinwang and the others Nayan. There were only four or five people left around Nan Chu for a while, and even Hazar, who had been following Nan Chu since the rebellion began, rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nan Chu looked left and right, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hazar, if you want to go over, you might as well go early." I'm going to see if the Akito can really tolerate you..."

Hazar struggled for a long time and finally didn't dare to get up, he worked too hard for Nan Chu these days, and regarded himself as the heir of Gunchuktaiji, so he offended many Nayan and the generals in the army. He felt that if he stood up, even if Mingren was willing to let him go, those Nayan and his colleagues in the army would explain him and treat him as the mastermind of the rebellion.

"My lord laughed, I, a Mongolian man with iron bones in Hazar, how could the soldiers who were raised in order to avenge Taiji be scolded in a few words..."
