[The starting point has been revised again, and I personally feel very bad]

The whole month of Chen Ming's April passed by quickly in the connection between Chahar and Beijing, the connection between the Chengde battlefield and Beijing and Tianjin, and the connection between Beijing and Nanjing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The offensive of the Fu Han army against Chahar has stopped, and of course the Chahar Mongols have not fallen into the ground against the Manchus, and all the Manchu officials in the eight banners on both sides of the Chahar have been sent out of the country by them. Whether these people plan to go to the northeast or to the northwest, it has nothing to do with Chahar anyway.

Speaking of which, they Chahar Mongolia are already very worthy of the Qing Dynasty. Historically, the Chahar Mongols were a subordinate of Lin Dan Khan. Lin Dan Khan's grandson Bour Min rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and sent troops to Kangxi to exterminate, and then "moved his people to nomadic herding outside Xuanhua and Datong (the Great Wall)", divided into eight banners for the east and west wings, and stipulated that "these eight banners are outside the forty-nine banners of Mongolia." Officials are not allowed to be hereditary, and they are not allowed to be self-explanatory." It is even worse than Tumert, who has only been deprived of hereditary flag rights for ten years. Therefore, although Chahar also has the name of 'Eight Banners', Chen Ming never regarded Chahar Mongolia as a bannerman.

Zhang Jia III is now staying in Chahar, and there are only two or three thousand soldiers left under General Suiyuan in the Sixth Hall of Sui, which is an ornament. Just like the general's palace in Uriya Sutai, without the support of the Manchu court, how could he still order the surrounding Mongols. With the deepening of bilateral negotiations, on the first day of May, the news of Zhangjiakou's reopening of the market has spread throughout most of the grasslands.

And the cooperation of Chahar also allowed the Fu Han army in Shanxi not to worry about the threat of the four banners on the west flank of Chahar in the east north of the Great Wall.

Of course, the Shanxi Fuhan Army did not want to completely take the Guisui Sixth Hall, but needed to take the Guihua City and Suiyuan City, the latter was the station of General Suiyuan, and there were four or five thousand permanent Eight Banner soldiers. The current Suiyuan general Hongsheng is the twelfth son of Wang Yunhe of Zhijun. is also a Taiping general, because there was no war here in the past when there was no war here, what Hongsheng has done most in recent years is to sort out the Eight Banners garrison to reinforce the front line in turn, or recruit Mongolian horse teams in the surrounding places.

Now the Manchu garrisons in Suiyuan City and Guihua City [not only the Eight Banner Soldiers] are estimated to have 3,000 people, not to mention the threat to the Shanxi Fu Han Army, but it is also a tumor that the Fu Han Army must remove.

When time really comes to use, you will find that they pass very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the whole month of April will pass.

The city of Beijing has become more and more vibrant, and those Han people with land deeds can get their homes back as long as they take out the title deeds. And those who do not have a title deed, as long as they have neighbors as guarantees, they can also go home. Of course, there were not a few people who died in this catastrophe, so throughout April, there were many things in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.

I don't know how many rural towns have the sound of suona and crying.

But in this crying for days, I don't know how many people just finished the funeral yesterday heartbroken, and today they wiped away their tears and devoted themselves to a new life. Wheat fields that had been destroyed by the war and the chaos that had preceded it were planted with peanuts and spring soybeans.

In order to prevent the remaining large local households from taking advantage of the opportunity to lend usury or take this opportunity to buy land at a low price, national banks have set up branches in Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding, and other places.

The team also began to go to the countryside!

Compared with the dangers and difficulties of the first batch of rural work teams a few years ago, the current work team is already a green cloud road for countless low-level public servants to climb up.

The trend of the Fu Han army sitting in the world is becoming more and more obvious, and the brains of the big local households are flooded, so that they can poison the work team?

Although the work of the team is still difficult and hard, the promotion of the level and the record on the resume have laid a solid foundation for them to climb up in the future. Who asked Chen Han to pay attention to grassroots work experience.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Chahar about the Russians." Zhang Jia III contacted the Khalkha Mongol prince of Outer Mongolia, but there was no way, Outer Mongolia's Jebzundan Bahutuktu III passed away in March this year, and now the reincarnated spirit child has not been found.

Zhang Jia III also just found out, and quickly informed Chen Ming of the news! This is neither bad nor bad news. Without Jebtsundamba Hutuketu, Outer Mongolia would be a piece of scattered sand, and Zhang Jia III's influence in Outer Mongolia would also skyrocket, which is all good; The bad thing is that there are too many leaders in the Khalkha four and eighty-six banners. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are no ambitious people among them!

Now Zhang Jia III is sending an urgent report from the prince of Outer Mongolia!

"The Russians arrived in Kulen?" It's even worse.

The Russians crossed the Kazakh steppes to the Tangnu-Ulianghai, and then through Outer Mongolia into Kulen, where they began to march last year, thousands of miles away with conscription of soldiers, and carrying artillery muskets and ammunition, until not long ago they brought together the Baikal Cossacks and Tatar cavalry, and this army was completely complete.

Along with the information, there was also the composition of the Russian army, which numbered about 10,000 men, including 3,000 Turkut cavalry, 2,000 Siberian Tatar cavalry [Buryats], and 1,000 Belga Cossacks, the latter of which was the most elite of the entire Cossacks and the most loyal to the Russian Empire, unlike the Siberian Tatar cavalry. The vast, fertile Baikal steppes allowed the Cossacks there to live a rich and free life. There were about 4,000 Russian so-called regular cavalry, consisting of Russians, Poles, serfs, and a small number of Cossacks gathered along the Ural and Don rivers.

This news was leaked to the Khalkha Mongol princes by the Turghut chieftain Zebok Dorji, who then quickly relayed it to Zhangjia III.

"It's a hodgepodge!" Chen Ming's first impression of the 10,000 Russian cavalry after reading the letter was like this.

And the second impression is that the Turkut tribe, which is the tribe under the Wubasi who led the troops to the east in history, and the leader of the Turkut cavalry, Zeberk Dorji, leaked the news to the Khalkha Mongols, and his intuition told Chen Ming that there was a mystery in this.

And then there was the munitions brought by this Russian army, a full 20,000 flintlock muskets and fifty artillery pieces. This is a large number, whether it is Yonghui or Yongying, or Outer Mongolia has obtained this batch of arms, it can bring a significant increase in their military strength.

And the leader of this Russian detachment is none other than Grigory Alexandrovich Potemkin. In Chen Ming's cognition, Catherine II's 'lover' is more of a Russian bigwig than a 'Russian military and political minister'.

He is now a lieutenant general.

Catherine II's coup d'état, a person who was promoted to second lieutenant in the Russian Janissaries, is now Chinese New Year's Eve, and in just eleven or twelve years, he is now a lieutenant general of the Russian Army.

Zeberkdorji did not introduce Potemkin too much, but only faintly revealed that Potemkin was a little hesitant now, he was now very skeptical that the Manchus still had the ability to implement the treaty, compared to Shengjing, which was in a precarious form, it seemed that handing over this batch of arms to Xi'an would be more likely to cause trouble for the Fu Han army, or to stay in Kulen.

This news was delivered to Beijing just two days ago, and on the last day of April, Xuanhua once again flew a message from Zhang Jia III, Potemkin decided to send a candidate to Beijing to listen to the information leaked by the Khalkha Mongol princes, if Chen Han was willing to admit that the land cession treaty between the Manchus and Russia would continue to be valid, Russia would not only not help the Manchus, but the 10,000 Russian troops could also become the most powerful helper for Chen Hanjun's sweep outside the pass.

"Hehe, it's wishful thinking. The barbarian country in the west actually wants the Celestial Empire to cede the land! Xiong Bingzhang looked disdainful after hearing the news. There is no anger in his heart, the Chinese who regard themselves as the superior country of the Celestial Empire now look down on any foreigners, even if the steam engine, textile machine and other machinery in the West have confirmed their 'civilization', subconsciously Xiong Bingzhang and others still look down on them.

When there is no interest involved, his contemptuous face can still be put away deeply. But once it comes to interests, it will immediately expose the red fruit. Although Russia is a big country in the West, it has traveled thousands of miles to the East to open his mouth to Chen Hanshi, and Xiong Bingzhang has the words 'Yelang arrogant' in his mind.

And Xiong Bingzhang has been by Chen Ming's side for so long, and he knows very well that Chen Ming attaches great importance to the land, not to mention the Outer Northeast, his master is still planning to annex North Vietnam, annex North Korea, and annex Burma. Although the Outer Northeast is barren land, it is impossible to cut out a single penny.

And look at the tone of the Russians, oh, Chen Han recognized the agreement to cede land, and the Russians helped Chen Han fight the Manchus; So what if Chen Han doesn't admit it? Are the Russians going to help the Manchus fight Chen Han? Is this a threat?

What about 10,000 horses, even if it is 100,000? This kind of potential threat argument cannot be tolerated by any high-level Chen Han executive.

"Your Highness, why wait for the Russians to send someone, we will send someone on our own initiative. Let them go back where they came from. What is agreed and not agreed is all bullshit. I haven't heard of it, so let them go home, there is nothing to discuss. Huang Song had the same expression on his face as Xiong Bingzhang, and he was even more arrogant.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks it is necessary to send someone to go to Outer Mongolia. No matter what happens with the Russians, there should be an explanation for what to do with the Russians, just saying that today, the Qiankun is replaced, the Han dynasty is revived, and Outer Mongolia is going from there. Feng Lian stroked his goatee and said from another angle.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Chen Ming made up his mind, this should be done. Regardless of when the men and horses sent by the Russians would arrive, the Fu Han army should send envoys to walk the steppe.

Tomorrow is the first day of May, Zhangjiakou is reopened, and Chen Ming has already decided to send an invitation to Zhang Jia III in mid-May and then send him to Nanjing to meet Chen Hui.

The Mongols traded cattle, sheep, war horses, skins, horns and medicines from the Mongolian region, and to be honest, there were really not many things they could get their hands on. And the goods sold by the Han people on the steppe are not very diverse, and the more luxurious things ordinary Mongolians, or low-class nobles, cannot afford at all. But ironware, tea, and salt are things that Mongolians can't do without in their daily lives.

Without iron, salt, and tea bricks, it is really difficult for the Mongols to live.

From the day the Fu Han army came into contact with Zhang Jia III, Chen Ming quickly sent a message to Shanxi and Nanjing, urgently needing a large quantity of brick tea for trade with the Mongols, and now Zhangjiakou has stockpiled more than 2,000 boxes of brick tea, as well as a large number of iron tools and salt. The follow-up is in a steady stream of shipments.

After the Han army seized Beijing and Tianjin, the salt workers and stove households of the Changlu Salt Farm have returned from all over the place, and now the Changlu Salt Farm has resumed production, of course, if you want to completely transform the Changlu Salt Field, it will take a long time. The salt ponds here and in Shanxi are enough to supply the entire north.

In the evening, Gao Yanming came to ask for a meeting, and the first thing he said after seeing Chen Ming was that he was going to go to Outer Mongolia.

Why?

"It's too slow to take credit for just turning around in the staff. I want to leave a knighthood to my son. "He is Gao Pengqi's fourth son, and Gao Pengqi's title can't fall on his head no matter what.

And seeing that Chen Han was about to wantonly divide the heroes, Gao Yanming was of course anxious.

"It's dangerous to go to Outer Mongolia." The devil knows what the current princes of the banners of Outer Mongolia have for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In case it touches the water in the brain, Gao Yanming will be slaughtered with a knife......

Gao Yanming waved his hand, "How can there be any credit in this world that is not dangerous at all?" When Jigong first entered the dark camp, in Jiangyin, Shanghai, and Zhoushan, didn't he hang a guillotine over his head every day? But now that Chen Jigong has come out, he will be knighted in the future.

If there is no comparison, I don't know the gap, compared with Chen Jigong, Gao Yanming, Huang Song, and Chen Jiqing, their contributions are too inferior.

After Gao Yanming left, Chen Ming sat in his position for a long time and let out a long sigh.

Everyone is growing up, and things that he didn't think about or thought about when he was a child, when he got married, when he had children, he had to think about it, he had to think about it.

Gao Yanming is now fighting for his future, and he is also fighting for his son's future.

……

In late April, hundreds of Mongols from all over the world gathered outside Zhangjiakou, from different tribes.

A yurt is erected in an open place outside the city, and at a glance, the grassland scenery is blowing in the face.

A large herd of cattle, sheep, and horses, as well as camels carrying bundles of fur and medicinal herbs. Livestock in the steppes were the most valuable treasure, and the most direct way of bilateral trade between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, in addition to buying each other with silver, was a very primitive barter.

As lively as the Mongolians outside the city is the Zhangjiakou market in the city, although more than half of the shops have no owners, or have changed owners, but now Zhangjiakou is still more lively than the previous Zhangjiakou to the sky.

The Fu Han army now almost completely occupies the Shanxi Prefecture south of the Great Wall, and the Jin merchants who are deeply entangled with the Manchu government in various places are either early or are ruthlessly liquidated by the Fu Han army.

Kang family, Qu family, Chang family, Cao family, etc., these first figures in the current Jin Shang Group have relied on careful planning and pioneering spirit to replace the original "speculative" national scum represented by the "Eight Great Emperor Merchants", but this does not mean that Shanxi Jin Merchants are really clean. Many of them are still deeply entangled with the Manchu government.

How to distinguish whether these merchants were dependent on the Manchu government to make money, or whether they had to deal with the government for a more convenient way after making money, this is the main criterion!

For such a family, unless the family reputation is really good, it is mostly impossible to avoid being liquidated. Chen Han's purge of the Jin merchants, except for the removal of a few people such as the Fan family, was judged by this standard.

Those Jin merchants who died or were reformed through labor can only blame themselves.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The trombone sounded, and the Fu Han army directly opened the gate of Zhangjiakou. This transaction did not set up a field outside the mouth, but opened the door of Zhangjiakou by itself. The troops of the Fu Han army on the city wall and inside the city are ready to fight! (To be continued.) )
