Chapter 568: Partition
"The princes want to take advantage of the victory to attack the Jurchens?" Liu Jun asked calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." It was Ezhe who spoke, and he was actually not a few years older than the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. But it seems that he is much older, he is dressed in a unicorn brocade robe given by the emperor, and under the crown and hat is a big bald head. Now, the Mongol princes of the Han Dynasty have all gone to the hair identification and changed to the bald hair style.
At first, there was no rule, but now it has become a common practice, not only did the princes shave their heads, but they also made their subordinates change the hairstyles of the Mongols and the Jurchens.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Feng Sheng stand aside, he secretly looked at Ezhe, and he always admired this guy very much. Without saying a word, he dedicated his stepmother to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and without saying a word, he gave the wife of the Jurchen princess to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
However, his resoluteness did bring good results. In the Jurchens, he was just a nominal prince of Chahar, and he was relocated again and again, from the Laoha River area in Yanbei to outside the Great Wall in Datong, Shanxi, and the jurisdiction was repeatedly reduced and restricted. married a Jurchen Gege, it was just to facilitate the Jurchens' control over Chahar and him.
After he joined the Han Dynasty, although he was renamed from a prince to a marquis, at least he no longer had to pay tribute to his father's killer.
As the emperor's intelligence advisor, Feng Sheng knew very well what Ezhe had been planning recently. This guy recently actually planned to ask the emperor to ask the Son of Heaven to marry him and give him a princess of the Han Dynasty. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty does not have a daughter yet, but according to the custom, it is possible to make a daughter of the clan a princess from the clan and then give it to marriage.
However, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had no intention of marrying the princess to the Mongolian princes. But this Ezhe did not give up, and he was planning to go to the table with the Mongolian princes, asking the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to issue an edict that all the Mongolian princes and lords in the future must be married by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and marry a Han woman as his wife. And in the future, the heirs of the Mongol princes must be the sons of the Han wives of the princes.
When Feng Sheng got the news, he couldn't believe it.
There are still such shameless guys in the world, crying so much and begging for marriage, and even in order to get married, they actually came up with such a way to lose their conscience.
But in retrospect, if the Mongol princes were really willing to go along with Ezhe, this would have been a good idea. Of course, the premise is that the marriage does not necessarily have to be given to the princess and the daughter of the clan, if it is only a Han woman. This was of great significance for the Han Dynasty to strengthen its control over the Mongol princes.
Hey, this Ezhe is a traitor. For the sake of his own status, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his stepmother and wife, and now in order to stabilize his position, he even did not hesitate to move other princes to ask the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to marry, and even said that he could only marry a Han girl as the main family in the future. can only take the son born from the main room of the Han girl as the heir.
This request, no matter how you look at it, should be put forward by the Han side. Could it be that it was the East Factory that started first and communicated with Ezhe in advance?
Anyway. This Ezhe is indeed loyal to the Han Dynasty, just like now, the coalition army has just broken through the four parts of Horqin, and he has not yet had time to rest. Ezhe took the initiative to play again, asking the Mongol princes to take advantage of the victory to send troops to the Jurchens and recover Liaodong for the Han Dynasty.
Liu Jun looked at the rest of the marquis.
The Han Dynasty now bestows thirteen Mongol marquises. Among them, there are four in the south of the desert and nine in the north of the desert, but they are all from the original Chahar and the three khans of Chechnya.
At this time, the thirteen marquis, except for Ezhe's young brother Abunai and his two young sons, did not come, and the other ten marquis were present.
In the battle of the Huolin River just now, they won a big victory, and all the departments basically suffered no losses, but they robbed all the four departments and ten banners at once, and the harvest was extremely rich.
Now they learned that the Jurchens had moved their capital to Heilongjiang, not only Tokyo Liaoyang, Shengjing and Shenyang were empty, but also Shangjing Harwin, and now the main force of the Qing army had moved to Xinjing and Huihui, and the east bank of the Liaohe River was very empty.
Just grabbed a vote, and exchanged those heads, prisoners, cattle and sheep for a large number of commercial goods in the Central Plains, and the various ministries didn't want to end it at this time, they still wanted to grab it.
As long as Han Tianzi said a word, they could immediately kill the Liao River.
Those who can see the emperor in Chaoyang's imperial camp today are all Uncle Hou, and Zi Nanxun is not qualified.
The spacious and airy clubhouse is a makeshift wooden palace. Take the earth and stone as the abutment, and then build the palace with wood, although the palace is only three, but it is already very grand, in the hall, also lay the fireworks on the ground, there is a stove outside, and the heated smoke passes through the tile road laid below, so that the hall is very warm, and there is no smell of fireworks.
Although the Han army did not send a single soldier to participate in the battle, Liu Jun also sent intelligence spies from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to collect intelligence, and also sent a staff advisory group to assist in command.
Therefore, he was very clear about the detailed course and outcome of this battle.
Korqin was indeed finished, and under the attack of the wolf-like troops, they were directly destroyed.
Liu Jun made a will, pointing out that after the reward for the heads of the Horqin people was raised, the various departments competed to cut off the heads, and no one was willing to take prisoners. Captives and heads are at the same price, but how can a captive have a good head, a cavalryman catches three or five captives, and don't think about running again. You can cut ten or eight heads, and you can continue to fight for the spoils after hanging on the horse.
Twenty silver dollars for a head, such a high price, no one will keep a captive and bring it back to the tribe as a slave.
Liu Jun paid nearly 10 million first-level silver rewards to various ministries. These coalition forces have not only cut off the heads of the enemy, but they also do not let go of ordinary herdsmen, whether they are old people or children, all of them are cut down and taken back in exchange for silver.
Liu Jun didn't break his promise, the young and strong ended up with twenty yuan each, and the old and weak were ten yuan each.
A lot of money was spent, and Liu Jun didn't feel distressed. He was just a little distressed, but it was a pity that at least 200,000 young men and women could be brought back, and if they could be brought back, they would be very good laborers. It's a pity that if they are not killed, these young men may be kept and brought back by the Mongol tribes, so that although Horqin is destroyed, the number of people in each tribe will increase.
Liu Jun didn't want to leave any troubles, so he simply came up with a desperate plan.
Liu Jun gave a good deal of silver, and the livestock and other trophies they robbed, Liu Jun also gave a good purchase price to buy, traded them silver dollar coupons, and then sold them rich commodities. The silver dollar changed hands and was taken back.
However, Liu Jun knew very well that the princes rushed here today, in addition to wanting to take advantage of the victory to march and grab another hand. The greater purpose of their trip was that Liu Jun had promised the princes that after destroying the four tribes of Horqin, he would divide the thousands of miles of grassland with them.
Pasture is also the foundation of the tribe, the larger the pasture, the more cattle and sheep can be grazing, the more people can be raised, and there will be more soldiers and horses.
Everybody wants a little more.
As for how to divide up the territory of the Jerimu League. Liu Jun had a plan.
Liu Jun announced that this time, all the troops used their lives to break the rebels, and each was rewarded for meritorious deeds. Liu Jun first promoted six dukes, these six dukes were the original three khans of Mobei, and Chahar Ezhe of Monan, these four people originally had the number of Khan, especially the strength of the three departments of Mobei has been maintained, and they were promoted to dukes. Not too surprisingly.
But the other two were a little surprised.
The fifth duke of Liu Junjin's title was Borzigit. Tobok, who had previously been a count. But he was the original Tumut Khan. It is also one of the five leaders with the Khan in the former Mongolian headquarters, in the south and north of the desert.
Tobok is the grandson of Xin Ai Huang Taiji, the eldest son of Tumut Rida Khan, also known as Bu Shitu Chechen Khan, and the fourth generation of Shunyi King who was once canonized by the Ming Dynasty.
However, at the beginning of Tobok's succession. It caused internal strife within Tumut, and later succeeded to the throne with great difficulty, but he was a guy with no ability. Without the slightest demeanor of the ancestors, Tumut was in his hands, constantly weakening.
Defeated by Lin Dan Khan, surrendered to Lin Dan Khan. Later, when the Jurchens marched westward, Tobok immediately secretly attached himself to the Jurchens and betrayed Lin Dan Khan for Neiying. After attaching himself to the Jurchens, he was not rewarded for his incompetence, and was only given a modest position.
However, Liu Jun wants to crown him as the Duke of the Kingdom this time, but it is not his ability, if he really has the ability, Liu Jun will not be able to seal him the Duke of the Kingdom. Liu Jun took a fancy to him because he was incompetent, and he was the last Khan of Tumut.
As a former right-wing khan of the Mongolian headquarters, and after being an authentic golden family, his identity is still somewhat useful. Using his identity and lifting him up, you can further divide Mongolia and make Mongolia more scattered.
However, Liu Junjin named him the Duke of the Kingdom, and the ostensible reason was that Tumut had the best performance in this Eastern Expedition, and the soldiers were brave and the results were amazing.
Liu Jun promoted Tobok as the prince of the country, and in the west of the Horqin grassland, under the Great Xing'an Mountains, carved out a piece of territory, and transferred some herdsmen from the east and west Tumut to establish a new Tumut tribe, the original East Tumut was changed to the Middle Tumut, the original two Tumut left and right wings and six flags, a total of twelve flags The shape of the flag remains unchanged, but the new East Tumut is also two wings and six flags.
The official name is two counties and six districts.
Tobok, as the newly sealed prince, well, is the county prince, and his new county territory is under the Great Khing'an Mountains.
The sixth county prince who was promoted to the title was the leader of the Mobei Khalkha Saiyin Nuoyan Department.
The Saiyin Noyan Department was originally subordinate to the Tushetu Khan Department, and because of its meritorious apologetics, it was awarded the title of Saiyin Noyan by Da Lai, and its status was equivalent to that of Khan.
The Khalkha Three Khans in the entire Mobei were subordinate to one of the six 10,000 households under the left and right wings when Dayan Khan unified the Mongolian headquarters in the early years. At that time, Khalkha was organized into a 10,000-household house, which was divided into 12 parts. These twelve divisions were subordinate to the left and right wings respectively, and were later divided into the outer seven divisions and the inner five divisions, the inner five divisions eventually moved south to Monan, and the outer seven divisions gradually mastered the north of Mobei.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, eastern Mongolia, that is, the Tatar part of the main part, was divided into two major parts: the south and the north.
The seven parts of Mobei have become the three roads in the east and west, and the three sweats are in charge. The Saiyin Noyan Department is in the middle of Mobei and belongs to Tushetu Khan, but because of his meritorious apologetics, he has won the title equivalent to Khan, and his status in Mobei is also very transcendent.
Liu Jun can't wait to set up a few more mountains in Mobei, so he has this opportunity, of course, he has to find a way to insert a few nails. This time, he happened to use the reason that the Eastern Expedition Saiyin Nuoyan was meritorious in the battle, and directly named the leader of Saiyin Nuoyan as the county prince.
This is actually equivalent to raising all the five people who had the Khan position in the past, but adding a Tumengken who originally had the equivalent of the Khan number of the Saiyin Noyan Department as the county duke.
In addition to not keeping their sweat numbers separately, this is equivalent to setting up six mountains in the south and north of the desert in disguise.
If it weren't for the fact that the leaders of other tribes did not have such a prestige and reputation, Liu Jun also planned to set up a few more hills, so that there would be a few more agents, and the Mongolian tribes would be more scattered.
It turned out that the Tushetu Khan Department was the strongest and the largest in Mobei, and now Liu Jun made Tumengka a county prince with the same status as Tushetu Khan, and immediately turned the three major departments of Mobei into the four major departments.
Six new county dukes, their original marquis and earl. and they gave them brothers and nephews.
Today, the Mongol princes of the Han Dynasty are the six dukes, the thirteen marquises, the fifty-six uncles, and hundreds of sons and sons of the third rank.
The biggest princes, as soon as they came up, all of them were promoted, and they were all very happy. Subsequently, Liu Jun took the opportunity to propose to give some of the most courageous Mongolian warriors this time.
Among them was Chu Hu of Eastern Tumut, who and about three hundred of his best-performing warriors were knighted by Liu Junci and given the title of more than 1,000 warriors.
"I have given them knights and warriors. They would be directly subordinate to the court of the Han Empire. ”
Liu Jun directly knocked down the northern part of the Horqin and other grasslands, that is, in the north of the Songnen Plain in the south of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, which is between the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Little Xing'an Mountains, which is relatively remote, and belongs to the territory of Heilongjiang in later generations, but it is not the most fertile Songnen Plain, so Liu Jun in this area, to these new Imperial Knights and Samurai Knights and Samurai Commanders were given direct knight and warrior leaders.
The Emperor of Han suddenly bestowed more than 300 Zhili knights and more than 1,000 Zhili warriors, which surprised the leaders of the various departments.
These men were the fiercest warriors of the tribes. Most of them were freemen, but many were subjects, but now they were given knights and samurai under the Empire, which meant that they had to break away from their original tribes.
All the departments felt pain in their flesh.
Liu Jun proposed a compensation plan. Each duke is given a quota of 100 knights and 300 samurai, the marquis has 50 knights and 150 samurai, the viscount has 20 knights and 60 samurai, and the baron has 10 knights and 30 samurai. The Lord also has a knighthood of five knights and fifteen samurai.
They could bestow their own knights and samurai within a specified number of knights, and these knights and samurai belonged directly to them, and the imperial court recognized and sealed them. At the same time, they were also given a fortune and allowed to inherit the succession.
This is actually for the princes to canonize their own children, and the real intention is to further disperse the rights of the princes.
Although these knights and warriors they gave were subordinate to them, the imperial court only gave them the required fiefs, but these princes had to divide them from their own territories, even if these knights and warriors were only territories without judicial and tax powers, they would also weaken the strength of the princes.
This is the same as the landlords of the Central Plains court who annexed the land too much, and it will also damage the power of the central court.
Liu Jun gave them a quota to canonize the knights directly under the princes, which would have no impact on the imperial court, and he paid some money a year, but with this money, although these knights were directly under the princes and lords, they also became reserve officers of the Han Dynasty.
On the other hand, Liu Jun canonized thousands of knights and warriors as direct subordinates of the empire, and these elite warriors were separated from the tribes, which also weakened the strength of the various tribes, and the territories they canonized were far away from the imperial frontier anyway.
Of course, this is an act of digging up the foot of the wall from the ministry, so Liu Jun also gave them sufficient compensation.
The newly laid territory of the Zhelimu League, Liu Jun only needed the Songnen Plain, and the large area west of the Songnen Plain, Liu Jun took it out and gave it to the tribes, and each prince chose a son to confer the title, and then distributed it to his tribe population and moved there to live as a herd.
Liu Jun has officially set up the area where the original Horqin is located as two new provinces, one in the west by the Great Xing'an Mountains as Xing'an Province, and one in the east of the Songnen Plain as Liaobei Province.
Hung Yen Province is mainly the domain of the feudal princes, and retains some Zhili territory. Liaobei Province, on the other hand, is a territory directly under the empire, and there are no feudal princes.
Of course, just like this, Liu Jun knew that he still couldn't comfort the princes who had just been dug into the corner.
Therefore, Liu Jun added another compensation to the princes.
"Since the Mongol princes are willing to take advantage of the victory to attack Liaodong, I will not stop them. I allowed all the troops to send troops to the east, and agreed with you that the people and food of the cities that were defeated would belong to you, and the land and cities would belong to the Han Dynasty. ”
"In addition, according to the old practice of the Eastern Expedition to Horqin, each young and strong Jurchen will be rewarded with twenty pieces of silver at the first level, and each old and weak head will be rewarded with ten pieces of silver, and the price of the captives will be the same."
Liu Jun allowed the Mongol princes to attack Liaodong, and also promised that the money, grain, and population belonged to them, which was to allow them to let go of the fight, and let go to rob, the princes all knew that Liaodong was empty now, and to attack at this time was naturally to take advantage of the fire to rob.
For a while, the emperor had just poached more than a thousand of the bravest warriors from various ministries at once, and everyone reluctantly accepted it.
"The Liaodong Jurchens are no better than the Horqin tribes, they have a lot of cities and fortresses, as well as firearms to defend the city, and please send your majesty to send firearms troops to assist in coordination." Ezhe pleaded again.
Liu Jun waved his hand and readily agreed to his request.
"No problem, I will send someone to collect information and provide you with intelligence support. Artillery units will also be sent to provide you with artillery support. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, Liaodong is far richer than Horqin, and the imperial court is now giving you a chance to fight first. The opportunity has been given to you, but whether you can grab it, and how much you can grab it, depends on your respective abilities. ”
Liu Jun laughed and said to the princes.
In a word, the Mongol princes' desire to plunder was raised, and they couldn't wait to immediately lead their troops into Liaodong and rob the Jurchens. (To be continued.) )
