The princes and lamas had gray faces, and although they were unconvinced, no one dared to express any opinion at this moment, here and now.

Seeing that everyone's affection was not high, Wang Maoru smiled and said: "Actually, I very much hope for the stability and prosperity of Mongolia, you know, we are all yellow people, we are different from white people, our ancestors must be the same ancestor." Fundamentally, we are brothers, a stable Mongolia, which meets the expectations of all yellow people. As for the Kyakhta Agreement, it is all bullshit, it is a yoke imposed on the heads of the Mongolian and Han peoples by Russian bandits. Therefore, I declare that, with effect from today, the Kyakhta Agreement shall be immediately nullified and that Mongolia, like any other part of the Republic of China, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the central government. As for the living Buddha or the living Buddha, you princes are still princes, your pastures are still your pastures, and your beauties are still your beauties. But there is a request that I hope everyone can cooperate, and in the future I will build some large cities in Mongolia, so I need a large number of people, and your people can live in the cities and be city people, and these cities will welcome you. Of course, if you want to continue to be ranchers, and I support you, this country lacks talent from all walks of life. ”

"Your Excellency the General, are you saying that there will be Han Chinese who will continue to come?" Dashabi Shang Zhuoteba stood up and bowed and asked in unfamiliar Chinese.

"yes." Wang Maoru said with a smile, "They just came to open a mine, not from the ranch with you, as far as I know, there were Han people who came to mine before, and they were driven away, right?" ”

"Yes, it was the Russians who did it, and the mines are now owned by the Russians." Dashabi Shang Zhuoteba hurriedly cleared up the relationship. Of course, he would not say that they wanted to occupy the mine and tried to cooperate with the Russians, but the Russians drove them away after taking the mine.

"That's not good." Wang Maoru frowned and said, and instructed Bai Ziqing: "You let Major General Zhang Zhuwu come over." ”

Hearing Zhang Paiwu's name, the princes present trembled one by one, and Zhang Paiwu's name became famous because of his expedition to Mongolia. also got the nickname of Zhang Killing God. In fact, Zhang Jianwu did not have many people, but there were few Mongols, and he felt that he could not kill hundreds of rebels. But I don't know how many rebels there are in Mongolia, so the name of Zhang Killing God has the effect of children stopping crying in the middle of the night on the grassland. Zhang Jianwu was waiting outside the tent, patrolling with a gun. Thinking that Wang Maoru was going to kill someone again, he came in with a guillotine knife and shouted: "Xiushuai, say, which one to cut?" ”

Wang Maoru smashed a wine glass and scolded: "You rammer, don't you see me treating guests politely?" ”

Zhang Baowu hurriedly threw away the guillotine, and when he threw it on the ground, he made a choking sound, which showed how heavy the guillotine was, and hurriedly said, "Xiu Shuai." I was wrong. ”

Wang Maoru said: "In the past, some Han gold mines were occupied by the Russians, and now Russia has gone away, let's not be polite to Lao Maozi, in the afternoon, you first collect the expatriate escort of the Russian consul in Kulun, and then take back the gold mines." They are breaking the law, they are really a bunch of savage people who don't understand the law, you teach them how to respect the law. ”

"Yes." After Zhang Jianwu finished speaking, he picked up the machete and went out.

Wang Maoru smiled and pointed at Zhang Pingwu and said to the princes and lamas below: "This kid, when he fought with me, he came down with a machete and killed more than a dozen of my soldiers. His master was even more powerful, and more than two dozen soldiers were killed with a big gun. But he is talented, and I have subdued him, and I have entrusted him with great responsibility, and I will entrust him with great responsibility as long as he follows me, but those who have evil intentions and dissenting intentions are now buried in the ground. After the stick is given, it should be a radish, Wang Maoru said with a smile, "Of course, the banner owner who cooperates with us, we will look for mineral sources in their territory, and the profit will be three or seven points, you should know the profit of mining, right?" One year is enough for you to use for a lifetime, and ten years is enough for your children and grandchildren. If it is gold and copper mines, you will earn even more, and I can guarantee that you will earn at least 100,000 or more oceans a year in the future. ”

The eyes of the crowd widened, and they got up and stretched their necks, like geese with their necks stretched out to be slaughtered, although Mongolia is vast but very barren, relying only on the animal husbandry of sheepskin, wool, cattle and mutton, and also suffering from the price reduction of Han merchants, even if a Zasak can earn 5,000 oceans a year, it is already very rich, and General Shangwu threw out an annual profit of 100,000 oceans at once, how can they not be tempted. So they said, "Really? How dare General Shangwu guarantee it? ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said to the princes and lamas: "Do you know how much money it costs to invest in mining? A small iron mine needs hundreds of thousands of oceans, will I take hundreds of thousands of dollars to play? You can't make money, first of all, I accompany hundreds of thousands of dollars. So don't worry, I don't want to lose money, and you won't lose money. ”

After the meeting ended, Chen Yi found Wang Maoru and said: "General Shangwu, your attitude today is really too tough, and you must pay equal attention to suppressing and appeasing Outer Mongolia, so that you can govern Outer Mongolia." Although you tempted him to take advantage, it would be unwise to kill Zasak. ”

Wang Maoru patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Consul Chen, you, your heart is too soft-hearted. It is necessary to know that fighting snakes does not die but suffers from them, Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia are different from the banners Historically, they have never really surrendered to the Han and Manchu bannermen, there was the battle of Tumubao in the Ming Dynasty, and the Geldan Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty, I don't want to give me a Geerdan. By the way, Consul Chen, help me recommend someone. ”

"What do you mean by Xiu Shuai?" Chen Yi asked.

Wang Maoru said: "Mongolia has a lama and a Mongolian governor to govern together, but under the Mongolian governor, I also plan to support a deputy governor, with Han officials as the officer, who do you think has this possibility?" Seeing that Chen Yi was very surprised, he laughed and said, "You think about it carefully, I'll wait for your news." And he returned to the army.

Although the Fourth Division returned to Heilongjiang, the Third and Sixth Divisions, as well as Wang Maoru's guard regiment that followed him, also had more than 50,000 people. But the Han people living in Kulun City can be regarded as raising their eyebrows, setting off firecrackers and going out with their heads held high all day long, and they no longer have to be angry.

In the following days, Wang Maoru placed the 3rd Division as the main force in Kulen City, and sent the 6th Division to the north, and marched north with Bayanbadar, the head of the Tangnu Ulianghai Kemuzik Banner, to recover all the territory of Tangnu Ulianghai. Since the occupation of the Tangnu-Ulianghai by the Russians, they have made the city of Kulen as a Zasakbayan Badar without territory and subjects. This time Wang Maoru recovered Outer Mongolia, Bayan Badar saw the opportunity, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Wang Maoru, and said to Wang Maoru: "I am willing to give half of the land of Tangnu Wulianghai to the Han people to cultivate, in exchange for the territory of my ancestors." ”

Speaking of Tangnu Ulianghai, all the occupation has a lot to do with Wang Maoru, when Wang Maoru, who was the Hulunbuir escort envoy, had a conflict with Outer Mongolia, but the unfortunate one was Outer Mongolia, and the Russians forcibly occupied a piece of land in Tangnu Ulianghai, and then the Russians found excuses and opportunities to occupy the land every time, so that in the end, the entire Tangnu Ulianghai was occupied, resulting in Bayanbadar becoming a homeless person. However, it was already November, and it was already snowing heavily, so it was absolutely impossible to march at this time, so we could only wait for the beginning of spring to fight again.

However, it was said that Chen Yi returned to the Kulun Office, and together with Yan Shichao, the secretary general of the office, Huang Chengyu, the secretary, Zhang Qingtong, the Kyakhta commissioner, and Chen Yi's friend and businessman Jing Xueling Wang Maoru, who stayed here, wanted to set up a Han man as the deputy governor of Mongolia, Zhang Qingtong slapped his thigh and shouted: "Lord Chen, you said that your reaction is too slow, Xiushuai's meaning is obvious, it is to win you over, if you take refuge in Xiushuai, this Mongolian deputy governor is in your pocket." ”

Jing Xueling said: "Brother Shike, it's a great opportunity, it's a big opportunity." Yan Shichao and Huang Chengyu also said that the opportunity should not be lost, and Yan Shichao said: "My lord, seize the opportunity and become famous from now on." ”

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "I am an official appointed by the central government, how can I ...... Serving the local community. ”

Jing Xueling hated iron and said: "What is the central and what is the place, now in this Republic of China, can you tell who is the central and who is the locality?" Guangdong is not local, but now Guangdong has a provisional government of the Republic of China, are they central or local? You see that General Shangwu is a local official now, but have you ever thought about it, he has an army of 200,000. There are only 800,000 troops in China, and he has a quarter of them, and his place is much heavier than the central government. Can you guarantee that he won't be staying in Central in the future? He also said: "We businessmen must know how to invest, we must see the wind to make the rudder, and adults must know how to see the wind and rudder in the political arena." What is Central today? Be in charge of the house today, and go into the wild tomorrow, do you think Premier Duan is powerful? But he was still embarrassed, and now the newspapers are scolding him for being a traitor every day, I think it won't take a few days for Duan Qirui to go into the wilderness. Instead of going back to the center to see the changing banner of the king at the head of the city, it is better to follow General Shangwu. In the words of a businessman, this Shangwu general has never made a loss-making business, and with him, the tide rises. ”

Perhaps it was the words of an old friend that made Chen Yi make up his mind, and in the evening, he took Yan Shichao and Huang Chengyu to the headquarters of the Heiji Coalition Army to ask for a meeting with Wang Maoru. And Wang Maoru was having dinner with a few officers, so he roasted the whole sheep and drank red sorghum, and in this cold Mongolia, it was comfortable to drink some wine and sleep.

When Wang Maoru heard Chen Yi's request to see him, he said: "Chen Yi must have thought about taking refuge with me, Adjutant Ma, and invite him quickly." ”

Ren Yuanxing said with a smile: "Xiushuai, this Mongolia is too boring." ”

Gong Xiaoqi and Fei Chaogui immediately scolded: "You damn it, the enemy was killed by you all the way, we didn't even get the soup, and you complained about a fart." The others burst out laughing.

When Chen Yi and the three pushed the door in, everyone was joking that the third division was not particular and did not make meritorious contributions to the brothers, Wang Maoru looked up and saw the three of them and smiled and said: "Three, sit casually, they are not outsiders." Ma Liang, bring them chopsticks and knives, and then a big bowl of sorghum wine. ”

I saw Yan Shichao, the adjutant next to Chen Yi, who couldn't help but shout when he saw Ren Yuanxing: "Ren ...... Mortal dust! Is it really you? ”
