Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the 25th day of January in the 15th year of Wucheng in China, Zheng Kezhang appointed Kuching as the protector of the Northern Chamber Wei Du Protectorate, and the resident Erren.
On the same day, Zheng Kezhang appointed Yin Long, the former privy councillor, as the ambassador of the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, the Xia army that entered Shanxi and Daibei had already been dismantled, and those who returned to their original defense returned to their original defense, leaving only the four divisions of the provincial garrison troops under the jurisdiction of the two general armies of Shanxi and Daibei, as well as the second and third divisions of the Flying Cavalry Army, the second division of the Hussar Army, and the third division of the Iron Cavalry Army under the command of Yin Long, which would be used to sweep away Yikezhao and Ulanqab, and the third division of the Hussar Army and the first division of the Iron Cavalry Army under the jurisdiction of Kuching to clean up Chahar and Xilin Gol.
"Brother Keqiang, you have returned to Zhongdu to enjoy happiness, but poor little brother, I am going to eat sand here." Yin Long, who arrived in Datong with the people who announced the decree, asked Tang Baoyi for advice in a self-deprecating tone. "Speaking of which, my brother has also been in Datong for a few days, and I hope to give me advice on how the customs of the north are."
Tang Baoyi replied solemnly: "Brother Cunde, this official is busy with military affairs, but he doesn't have time to taste the customs of Datong girls." ”
Yin Long was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, you Tang Keqiang, this sloppy eye will fight, you are a dignified uncle, gather a few Datong girls, but you don't have to tell me, as long as you can settle the Hedong lion at home." ”
Tang Baoyi pursed his lips: "Hedong Lion is not afraid, but I am afraid that the Military Law Department will join me." ”
"That's just as well. The generals accepted concubines and maids in front of the battle, and they had to be punished lightly. Speaking of this, the two laughed at the same time, and after laughing, Yin Long asked again. Let's not talk about it, the Holy One means to set up four Zhili Prefectures along the Yellow River, this is a troublesome matter, your brother can't just leave it, so give me an idea. ”
"I'm only two months earlier than Brother Cunde, how can there be rules." Tang Baoyi shook his head. "It's nothing more than pushing all the way through." Tang Bao pointed to the huge map hanging in the center of the room. "In the past two months, I have searched all the prefectures and counties, the green camp of Toucheng and the Jin merchants, and finally drafted this map, thinking that I would lead the troops out of the fortress, but it turned out to be cheaper for you."
Of course, Yin Long knew that Tang Baoyi was a little disappointed, so he gaged to comfort the other party: "Brother Keqiang, what you said is not right, you have already paid homage to the county uncle, even if you add the merit of leveling the grassland, is it possible that you can still be promoted to the county marquis?" It's better to leave the soup and water to me, and the little brother is grateful. ”
"Why can't you be promoted to the county marquis?" Tang Baoyi argued strongly. "Even if most of the princes are from the clan, it's not that the saint has not been crowned a county marquis, and even there are a few county marquis." Tang Baoyi refers to Hou Honglei of Huiji County, Zheng Yingping of Yuzhang County, and Hou Keping of Lingling County, these are all old ministers who have followed the Zheng family for three generations, and their status is naturally different from that of a newcomer like Tang Baoyi, and Tang Baoyi also understands this. "I know that those are veteran ministers, different from us, but in a few years, we are different from veteran ministers, is it possible that I can't fight?"
Perhaps thinking that this was a bit false, Tang Baoyi added stupidly: "Besides, even if I can't earn the county marquis, I can also apply to the saint for tuien, you know, there are six bastard boys in my family, and the finished one is the third one, but the others are also in the army, and they have the status of meritorious people, and they will be given titles, and they don't have to worry about falling into the family after a hundred years." ”
Hearing this, Yin Long subconsciously nodded and said: "This is also true, a county can receive a maximum of 800 jia of Yitian, and a county can receive a maximum of 200 Jia, so if it is calculated, it is not a problem for a county to demolish four counties, if it is split into a county man, it will be more." Fortunately, I have only one son, so I don't need to worry. ”
As soon as the words came out, Yin Long felt that he was led off the topic by Tang Baoyi, so he hurriedly brought the words back on track: "By the way, since you can make a picture, then there must be a guide who can lead the way." ”
"Yes," Tang Baoyi gave Yin Long a clear answer. "There are more than 30 prepared in total, there are Han Chinese, there are Mongolians, all of them are old horses who know the way, you can use it with confidence, but you should not be stingy with the reward."
"I'll save it." Of course, Yin Long understands that there must be a path of a brave man under the heavy reward, but he is still a little confused. "It's not strange that there are Han people, how can there be Mongolians, is it possible that they don't know that we are preparing to fight the grassland?"
"Traitors are not unique to us Han people." Tang Baoyi commented disdainfully. "Mongolians are the same, if you have milk, you are a mother." When it came to traitors, Tang Baoyi suddenly remembered something and explained. "In fact, there are more than four divisions of soldiers and horses in your hands, and there is also a Mongolian volunteer army. There are already thousands of people, but you don't expect anything from them, they are all shepherd slaves who have defected to Chahar, and they have never left Chahar in their lives, so they are not as good as those thirty or so guides. ”
Rao is so, this news still made Yin Long a little surprised: "So fast, there are already hundreds of people?" ”
"It's still winter, you see, there are more voted after the beginning of spring." Tang Baoyi said with great certainty. "Now those who come here are scattered Chahar fugitive slaves, after the beginning of spring, the princes of various banners and alliances will also come to join, these Tartars are very good, and they have long known how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages."
"It's a good thing to know that it's powerful, it can save us a lot of hands." Yin Long is very optimistic. "I wish the various departments of the Yikezhao League were so knowledgeable." Yin Long said as he spoke, and suddenly stopped. "No, since the head of the flag in Chahar is no longer able to control the flags, won't our dynasty be able to properly and completely receive them? This time, I am afraid that it will not be possible to move the Yikezhao League to the hometown of Chahar. ”
Tang Baoyi thought about this problem: "If the Chahar banners are attached, and the Seven Banners of Ordos are willing to accept the dispatch of the imperial court, then the two sides will exchange territories. ”
Seeing Yin Long's puzzled expression, Tang Baoyi explained: "The imperial court wants to open a horse farm in the set, but I see that the ten official ranches of the past dynasties are getting worse and worse, and there is not much to say about the mysteries, it is better to let the Chahar people run it, and the imperial court only needs to collect horses every year, and it can also save the state money." Moreover, the Chahars are also the best source of soldiers for the Mongol volunteers??????"
Yin Long interrupted Tang Baoyi's tirade with a speech: "Brother Keqiang, have you asked for this idea?" ”
Tang Baoyi said with some regret: "I was about to ask for a decree, but now it seems that I don't need to worry about this leisure." ”
Yin Long squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Brother Keqiang, it's a shame that you didn't have time to play, otherwise I'm afraid that you will be rejected by the saint." ”
Yin Long explained: "I guess the meaning of the saint is that the horse farm in Ji County is too small, and he is going to use the set as a new horse farm for those Taixi horses, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate to hand it over to the Chahars." ”
Tang Baoyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartlessly: "Sai Weng is not blessed if he loses his horse, the ancients did not deceive me, okay, this matter should be your brother's concern, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Tang Keqiang, it's really good to be kind." Yin Long sneered. "It's a shame that I still mention you, you actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge."
Tang Baoyi also pretended to be disappreciative and responded: "Brother Cunde, this is not right, what is called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, I haven't done anything, what river to cross, what bridge to tear down." ”
"After your brother returns to Wuchang, isn't he allowed to go to school?" Yin Long unceremoniously debunked. "Based on what I know about Brother Keqiang, I don't think you are one of those people who only do officials and don't do things."
Tang Baoyi smiled bitterly: "Okay, you are a grandson, but you have been taken into the army, if I really don't care, wouldn't I become one of those bastard officials who only do officials and don't do things in your mouth." ”
Yin Long said proudly: "It's good to understand, Brother Keqiang, one person is short and two are long, and I want to trouble you to give me an idea." ”
Tang Baoyi replied angrily: "There are three stinkers who are better than Zhuge Liang, according to this, you shouldn't let me come up with any ideas at all, it's better to let the military Sima below brainstorm, that must be more than my ideas." ”
Yin Long said: "Jun Sima has to let them think of a few countermeasures, Brother Keqiang, you also have to ask for an idea, as the saying goes, an old man in the family is better than a treasure, your old man will help the younger brother with this." ”
Tang Baoyi was so tempered by Yin Long that he lost his temper, and he was not good at being angry with his deliberately small peers, so he frowned and held back a bad idea: "According to me, or I will ask the order to move the Chahar people to Henan, Shandong, and Huaibei." ”
Yin Long's eyes narrowed, and he said sternly: "This is the plan of the Han and Jin Dynasty to migrate the Xiongnu and Xianbei into the mainland, will there be chaos." ”
"How could there be a mess?" Tang Baoyi also responded seriously. "Didn't the former Yuan also leave many Mongols and Semu people in the Central Plains? Now if you go and see, there are still any Mongols and Semu people, all of whom are mixed up as Han Chinese. And there are only a few people in Chahar, more than 200,000 in the sky, sprinkled everywhere like pepper noodles, I am afraid that there are people who want to find it, but it is not even. ”
"Even if the Holy Lord's edict allows, the Chahar people must be able to agree to move into the Central Plains in units of 100 households."
"It's up to them." Tang Baoyi said murderously. "Now the knife handle is in our hands." Tang Baoyi's face then slowed down. "In fact, being able to avoid the bitter cold of the grassland and move to Huahua is really a good thing that the Mongolians can't dream of, how can these Chahar people not agree."
"I'm afraid that the Holy One won't agree." Yin Long pondered for a moment and sighed. "100,000, 200,000 Chahars are still too many. Otherwise, one or two thousand households will be the best herdsmen. Darigang Ai can't settle down, and Cam Ranh and Borneo are too far away and too hot, so I can't live much even if I move there. ”
"Lots of people? What's so hard about that. Just kill a few more. The corners of Tang Baoyi's mouth twitched. Even if the Chahars were to annex in time, it would be easy to drive them to conquer and conquer Mobei, and finally let them go to war with the Oros, and fight all the way down, ensuring that there are not a few ?????? left."
