It was June, but the Shengjing City at the moment was still a little forested, compared with the prosperity of the past, the Shengjing City here was much more depressed.
In the past few years since the signing of the peace treaty between Huang Taiji and the Ming Dynasty, although Huang Taiji has basically gained a foothold in the political situation, it has been worse than a year in terms of trade and trade.
First, Houjin already belonged to the backward fishing and hunting civilization, and the acquisition of living materials and strategic materials in recent years was based on secret smuggling with certain merchant groups in the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, it was obtained by relying on the annual border raids.
However, a year ago, the Ming Empire destroyed the 'traitor' merchant group headed by the Fan family in one fell swoop, cutting off the private trade route of the Houjin, and secondly, the Ming Dynasty has been thriving in recent years, not to mention the invasion of Liaodong and plunder, that is, the Dongjiang region, which originally occupied an absolute advantage, is now in the case of the Ming Empire's immigration reclamation, and the Jing Navy has won the war.
But it is a turtle cowering in a few small cities, so there is still any large-scale looting, even if there is a small-scale Houjin cavalry harassment, but in the face of the empire's 'barrier policy' in the Liaodong region, it is also a nightmare for the Houjin small cavalry.
Due to internal strife, coupled with the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan Khan, most of the territories obtained by Jin in the Mongolian steppe and the tribes that took refuge in the face of Lin Dan Khan's offensive were retreated again and again, so to speak, the road from the steppe was basically blocked.
As for the Korean state, although the Later Jin conquered North Korea for the first time and signed the Pyongyang Oath with the North Korea, the North Korea at this moment is quite resentful of the Later Jin.
And then Kim is just a prisoner in the eyes of North Korea.
As for the Pyongyang oath, it is just a covenant under the city, and it is no wonder that in the first year of Chongzhen, Joseon Renjo saw the envoy of Houjin and said to him: "Ming is like my father." Help others attack my father's country, but what? The ship is dead. ā
Just imagine, the Ming Dynasty is weak, and North Korea is still like this, not to mention, the Ming Empire is prosperous here, not to mention the land hero, that is, the Dengzhou Sea Division with strong ships and cannons, but it also wants North Korea to bow down, not to mention, in the heart of North Korea, this Ming Dynasty is the country of the suzerain.
Therefore, for Houjin, the North Korean Road, as a place of trade, is almost impassable.
In addition, Houjin Bel Amin occupies the main road to North Korea, and there are wars with Huang Taiji from time to time, so it can be said that this Amin has always had a plan to claim the king of Korea since the first conquest of Korea.
Later, taking advantage of the defeat of Huang Taiji's army in Beijing, Amin got in touch with Dolgon, and quickly divided the Houjin Laozhai (Hetuala), and divided the troops to defend Fushunguang, Yahu Pass, and Lianshan Pass, becoming a country of its own.
In the third year of Chongzhen, he tried to invade Korea again, so as to realize his dream of being the king of Korea.
At that time, Zhu Jian sent a delegation to Seoul to appease his subjects, but the minister of the mission was Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, but he said that when he heard the news that day, Yuan Keli immediately went to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he instructed the DPRK to prepare for war, and brought a regiment of military horses with him to the front line first, all to boost the morale of the DPRK.
Later, he mobilized Dongjiang soldiers and horses, ordered Chen Jisheng to go out of Yizhou, outflank Amin's back road, Liu Aita sent troops to Lianshan Pass, encircled and suppressed Amin's nest, when Amin led the army to Changcheng, North Korea, the vanguard has been in contact with the Ming army, and suddenly heard that the Ming army sent troops to their own nest, but they were eager to get rid of the Ming army and rescue the nest.
In this battle, the Ming army won a great victory by virtue of the advantage of firepower, and beheaded a lot, which could have wiped out Amin in one fell swoop, but considering the containment of Huang Taiji, it was to let Amin flee back to the old camp, so far the current situation in Liaodong has basically taken shape, until now.
However, it is said that for Huang Taiji, the three trade routes are all blocked, but as a political power, and many materials are not self-sufficient, and now the trade routes are cut off, so for Huang Taiji, it is necessary to seek another trade route.
As a result, the Mongolian Trans-Khalkha Department and the Russians became the first choice of Huang Taiji.
Mongolian Outer Khalkha Department, Mongolian Dayan Khan was one of the three left wing of the Khalkha Department of the outer seven, which belonged to Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, Sanyin Nuoyan, Zasaktu Khan and other departments, the distribution area east to Heilongjiang Hulunbuir City (now Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), south to Hanhai, west to Altai Mountain (now Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region), north to Russia.
As for the Russian Empire at this time, it was during the reign of the Romanov dynasty, and since Ivan the Terrible, the army of the Russian Empire has begun. With the assistance of Adashev and Sylvester, he promulgated a new legal code, reorganized the administration, reformed the military system, strengthened the military force, defeated the Kazan Khanate and the Astrakhan Khanate in the east, and forced the Siberian Khanate to submit.
Later, after the conquest of the Siberian Khanate, Tsarist Russia sent heavy troops, built castles, and held military positions to consolidate the newly occupied areas. And use these strongholds as base camps to further penetrate the Barabin steppe.
After the destruction of the Siberian Khanate, the road was paved for the complete conquest of the lower Ob region. In 1593, after the victory over the Chites, the Russians established the city of Berezov on the site of the Khantic city of Sugmutvash, and continued to march to the Tazar River from this base, and in 1601 established the city of Mangajieya in the lower reaches of the Tazha River, which marked the basic occupation of the lower Ob River region by Russia. At the same time, Tsarist Russia stepped up its advance to the upper reaches of the Ob River and established the city of Tomsk at the mouth of the Tom River.
By the 30~40s of the 17th century, the invading forces of Tsarist Russia have crossed the Yenisei River, reached the Lena River, the Chukotka Peninsula and the Sea of Okhotsk, that is to say, the power of the Russian Empire here has already been in contact with the Houjin in terms of geography, the Ming Empire Chongzhen five years, after the expansion of Tsarist Russia to the Lena River valley in eastern Siberia, the establishment of Yakutsk City, as the main base for the southward invasion of China.
Huang Taiji was reluctant to deal with the Russians, and he also knew the ambitions of the Russians, but after the gold trade routes were cut off, Huang Taiji got in touch with the Russians and agreed to trade, which was also the result that the ambitious Russians were willing to see.
......
And today's Shengjing City, sweeping away the coldness of the past, is the day when the Mongolian Outer Khalkha Department and the Russian Imperial Mission meet to enter Shengjing City.
"Mr. Fan, have the missions settled down?"
Here, Shengjing, Khan's Palace.
Huang Taiji stood with his hands in his hands, but he was asking Fan Wencheng about the Mongolian and Russian Empire's envoys coming to Shengjing.
"Back to the Great Khan, everything is already in order, the Mongolian Trans-Khalkha Department is already in charge of Lord Niyaha, but there is Lord Sonny on the Russian side!"
Hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded.
It's just that in the face of this, Fan Wencheng wanted to speak several times, but he seemed to be thoughtful, but this was seen by Huang Taiji.
"Sir has been with Ben Khan for a long time."
Although it is a short sentence, the meaning here is enough for Fan Wencheng.
And Huang Taiji's words have already reached this point, Fan Wencheng naturally doesn't want to shirk anything, but he expresses the doubts in his heart.
"Great Khan, it's just a matter of Outer Khalkha Mongolia here, but the Russians are very barbaric, not to mention, his Russia has been eyeing me Manchuria for a long time, and the minister is worried."
Regarding what Fan Wencheng said, Huang Taiji was silent.
He didn't know, but now, it was a time of danger, not to mention, the battle of Zhenbei Pass was imminent.
"The Russians promised Ben Khan three hundred musketeers......."
Huang Taiji muttered a little in his mouth.
