"Inner Mongolia has six alliances, twenty-four departments, and forty-nine banners, only twenty-seven banners are willing to submit, and eleven banners are willing to obey the imperial court's decision?"

"Back to the emperor, those who are willing to obey the decision-makers of the central center are all Mongolians along the border of the Han land. The rest of the generations are still delusional that I can't reach the whip of the heavenly empire, and I can't touch it. It's disrespectful to dare to disobey! However, not all of the other 22 banners supported the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But I didn't see my emperor's kindness to Meng, and he hesitated and didn't dare to move. ”

"Do I still need to take the initiative to be considerate of them?" Liu Xian looked at the group of ministers under the seat, with disdain on his face.

Wei Ming had expanded the Hanzhong cavalry to one division, one regiment and one battalion, with a total of more than 14,000 men and more than 30,000 horses. According to Hanzhong's report, there were many veterans who returned to Qinghai when he went west to Xinjiang and then returned to Qinghai when he withdrew the army, plus the juniors and relatives and friends brought by these people, as well as the Mongolian and Tibetan children who were encouraged by them, the Mongolian and Tibetan cavalry in the new barracks has exceeded 5,000 horses, and most of them have brought their own war horses, and some have brought more than one.

That's nearly 20,000 cavalry. Coupled with the many armies surrendered in Shaanxi and Gansu, that is, the cavalry under Cao Kezhong, Tao Maolin, Lei Zhengwan and others, the total strength will not be less than 25,000 cavalry.

How much pressure will there be on this force, the 25,000 armed forces fully equipped with modern cavalry, sweeping away Inner Mongolia and the Six Leagues with a total population of only five or six hundred thousand, and even sweeping away Inner and Outer Mongolia, which has a total population of no more than one million?

Today's Mongolia has long since decayed.

Whoever has eight brothers, seven must be lamas; If there are five brothers, four of them must be lamas; Only one commoner can marry a wife and have children. When lamas have red and yellow satin to wear. You can also sit and enjoy a generous salary.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty also officially issued an order prohibiting Mongolian lamas from marrying during the Jiaqing period. Today's Inner and Outer Mongolia really has more people under the prince of a banner than a township in the interior.

Liu Xian didn't want to have too much to do with Mongolia. Many princes and nobles were dizzy when he saw them. Also confiscated the idea of compilation. Anyway, with the obedient eleven flags, it is enough to erect the archway. The rest is up to their creation.

Moreover, Liu Xian did not think that the vast number of Mongol civilians would die for their princes. The Mongol princes were not the living Buddhas they entrusted. The 8th Jebtsundamba Living Buddha. It is the great Mongolian emperor who engaged in Mongolian independence in the history of the original time and space, and he is only ten years old now. He knows a fart! There's no real power.

As long as Liu Xian does not abolish his position as a living Buddha, as long as he does not kill this ten-year-old little man, the civilians of the entire Mongolia will not be able to swell at all.

You must know that twenty years ago, that is, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was fierce, the Mongolian people also set off a great struggle against the Qing Dynasty and the banner king. The first is the Wushen Banner of the Yikezhao League in Inner Mongolia, where the "Dugui Dragon" movement, or "Duogui Wheel", which means "ring" and "circle" in Mongolian, led by low-level herdsmen such as Pilejie. People who participated in the "Dugui Dragon". When the meeting is held, sit on the floor in a circle, and when the document is signed, the name is also arranged in a circle, hence the name. Rebelled against the excesses of the Mongol princes, taxes and military service. At that time, it was the time when Monk Greenqin was in the limelight. At the same time, in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, there was Yizhou led by Bai Ling'a, and Chaoyang Uprising.

Bai Ling'a was born in poverty, his parents died early, and he had no close relatives to support him, so he suffered all the hardships of life since he was a child. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, Bai Ling'a resolutely participated in the Han peasant rebellion led by Wang Luoqi in a desperate situation, and he led more than 200 Mongolians. In some areas of the Zhuosuo Tumeng, the border area of Fengtian Province, and inside and outside Shanhaiguan, he repeatedly attacked the Qing army.

Xianfeng ten years. Bai Ling'a led a rebel army of more than 300 people to Yiju and joined up with the local people who resisted the public grain there, forming a team of more than 500 people. In one fell swoop, he captured the city of Uiju. The Qing government was very shocked by this and hurriedly ordered General Sheng Jing to send troops to suppress the rebel troops. At its peak, the rebel army grew to three or four thousand men. It has been troubled until the fifth year of Tongzhi. The climax of the armed uprising was suppressed. Bai Ling'a also died in the seventh year of Tongzhi, and then the aftermath flooded for more than a year. It was close to 1870 before it was completely wiped out.

Liu Xian didn't think that an uprising would increase the memory of the Mongol princes. On the contrary, this kind of revolt will only make the Mongol princes resentful and exploitative of the lower ones deeper.

In the past ten years, there have been no uprisings in the Mongolian region, and there have been frequent occurrences in Duguilong. It smacks of Gandhi's non-resistance movement.

Now if the Qin army sweeps the steppe, how many Mongols will rise up and fight to the death? What's more, there are eleven flags in Inner Mongolia obediently.

"The Mongolian steppe is the cornerstone of my development towards the wool textile industry. I don't have the time or time to think about it in Mongolia. After the heavy snow melted, he ordered the Zhou army to immediately march to Guihua and capture Suiyuan. ”

Because of the successive defeats of Shaanxi and Gansu, the road that the Manchus prepared to go west has been shattered. Moreover, the million Manchus have long been finished, and the Manchus who followed the Manchus to the city of Guihua were less than 100,000. And the army in the hands of the Manchus was only a little more than 10,000.

The Manchu is finished. Not only their strength, but also their hearts.

More than 200 years of wealth and nobility could not have turned these princes and nobles of the Eight Banners into a nomadic tribe with a super cohesive heart in an instant. And they also did not have enough cattle and sheep, with a large amount of grain lost in Zhangjiakou, Datong and Daihai, the grain stocks in the city of Guihua have supported the Manchu Qing until now, which is no longer sustainable.

If Cixi and Devil Six were really smart, they should surrender now. This was good for the Manchus, and it was also good for Liu Xian to control the Mongols. And there is Xinjiang. Jin Shun, who was left behind by the Manchus in Xinjiang, also had tens of thousands of troops under his command. It's just that Dong Fuxiang has already been linked to the Qin army, and the southern Xinjiang where he sits, that is, Shache, Hotan, Kucha, Yarkand, Aksu and other places headed by Kashgar, are already going to meet with Jin Shun's guns.

"Plant melons, you get melons, plant beans, get beans. What happened to the Manchus in the end depends on their own choice! ”

Liu Xian's eyes narrowed, in addition to the cavalry led by Wei Ming, he also had to organize a corresponding cavalry in the east, and then good things would be at the same time!

……

Chuankhouang, later known as the province of Chuankhouang, Laos, is close to Vietnam.

In the early days, it was also a kingdom that was destroyed by Siam, but now it is the territory of Luang Prabang. Since the latter participated in Liu Xian's enthronement ceremony, Siam was very obedient and gave up Chuankuang.

This area is a key transportation point in the northeast of Laos, with land and water routes to Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Vietnam.

Although the plains occupy only one-fifth of the total area, the climate and fertile land are home to many of Lao's indigenous people. There are also abundant mineral resources hidden among the high mountains and hills, with iron, antimony, zinc, silver, copper, gold placer and coal mines nearby. It has been a land of abundance since ancient times.

Laos belongs to the Mesozoic folded terrain, and its geological structure is basically the marine Triassic strata formed during the Indochinese geodetic movement from the end of the Triassic to the beginning of the Jurassic. At that time, there were strong depressions in the earth's crust, which caused the area to form many folded mountain systems, and neutral and mafic magma seeped into the shallow layers. These magmas are rich in metallic and non-metallic minerals. Among them, non-ferrous metal ores and jade not only have many varieties, but also have large reserves. The metal ores that have been discovered in later generations include copper, iron, tin, lead, zinc, manganese, and gold; Tungsten, manganese, etc. Non-metallic minerals include white jade, topaz, black jade, jadeite, sapphire, crystal, amber, granite and quartz.

The western side of northern Laos and northern Myanmar are considered to be the world's most important gem belts, and the eastern side of northern Laos and southwestern Yunnan are considered to be the world's most important non-ferrous metal ore belts.

Liu Xian is not clear about the specific mineral distribution points in Laos, but he knows what the mineral deposits in Laos are.

Funds in the name of Daqin began to enter the north and south of Laos last year, whether it is Luang Prabang or Champasak.

One of the highlights is Chuankhouang, as it was the main production area of iron in Laos historically. The Puloan deposit, located at the eastern end of the Char Plain in Sichuan Khouang Province, has an iron ore belt that runs long in Shishuli, and the southern slope of it is an open-pit iron ore mine, some of which are hundreds of meters thick, and the iron ore grade is very high, and the mining is extremely cheap.

The Luang Prabang iron ore deposit and the Luang Prabang copper deposit in Luang Prabang are the two major minerals that Daqin first invested heavily in Laos and developed using the most advanced mineral development technology.

The latter is right on the edge of Luang Prabang City. The area between the Mekong River and the Nam Sen River, ten miles north of the Tadua Pier in Luang Prabang City, has considerable copper reserves.

Hibiscus got up in the morning and ran around the residence, then washed his face with well water, and walked out of the door of the Plean Guest House refreshed. This is said to be a guest house, but in fact, it is just two two-story small buildings and five small farm courtyards. The land is very large and empty.

In front of the gate, there is a piece of rammed flat land of about two or three hundred square meters, which is relatively clean and tidy as the façade of the guest house. There is a well on the north side of the flat-bottomed side, with a few small trees and two green greens. It's not eye-catching, but it makes people feel like they have a rural life.

Not far from the guest house is a mining area under large-scale construction, and staying in that place for a day and then returning to the guest house is so beautiful.

In the grass outward, some old hens are foraging in the grass with large flocks of chicks, and you can even hear four or five fat pigs chirping in the pigsty behind the guest house. Maybe it's time for the morning feeding, and they're all screaming loudly.

A local native carrying a large bucket of pig food scolded and walked over to feed it, and suddenly saw Zhu Hibiscus walking out of the guest room, and immediately showed a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Zhu, good morning!" ”

"Okay." Zhu also smiled and nodded.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Mr. Liu from the No. 3 courtyard was happy because the construction had completed the task ten days ahead of schedule, and invited his foreman to have a good meal in the guest house. I didn't pay much attention to the impact, and several gentlemen have already filed complaints today. ”

Zhu Jin smiled when he heard this, why didn't he know about this. Yesterday he didn't sleep as well as he said he would.

He nodded to the waiter at the guest house in front of him, "The official words have grown, the words are very accurate, continue to work hard ......" (to be continued......
