On March 28, the fifteenth year of Wucheng in China, a huge tent was erected outside the city of Chengde, and Zheng Kezhang entered to officially summon Taiji, the prince of the Mongol banners of Monan, who came to the pilgrimage. The Qing court set up a total of 49 banners in Monan, and this time, all the Mongolian princes except the ten banners of the Zhelimu League came to Chengde for the Hajj.

The process of the pilgrimage was arranged as follows: the Mongol princes used the flag as a unit to deposit a gold tent to meet Zheng Kezang, and offered symbolic tributes such as hata and a sketch of the pasture; After Zheng Kezang's speech, he gave the banner prince Taiji the seal and robe of the Mongolian titles of the Chinese Dynasty below the rank of the first class Zhenguo Gong - these Mongolian princes had already learned from the governor who received them, Yamen Mongol Shilang, that the princes and the county princes were not hereditary titles in the Chinese Dynasty's knighthood, and the objects of the award were only the emperor's brothers, sons and nephews and a very small number of important ministers and fathers of the national public rank who had made great achievements. Therefore, there was no objection to the Mongolian title of the Huaxia Dynasty, which was obviously one level lower than the Mongolian title granted by the Qing court, or if there was any objection, he did not dare to express it publicly; Of course, some of the higher-ranking banner lords in the league also received the title of Mongolian county king, but this also could not be passed on to descendants, and future generations who wanted to retain this title had to make a great contribution to the Chinese court - and were given a version that was changed according to the grassland reported by each banner; After the Mongol princes accepted the seals, robes, and plates, they bowed to Zheng Kezang and then withdrew from the Golden Tent and were followed by another prince of the banner.

Due to the large number of Mongol princes who performed the Hajj, the time for a single flag to participate in the Hajj and receive the title of Huaxia was often about a quarter of an hour (half an hour), so the 39 flags could not be completed in one day, so the whole ceremony lasted for two days.

The day after the canonization ceremony ended, the Mongolian flags slaughtered the white horse and black ox in the Yellow Sect under the witness of the living Buddha of the Yellow Sect to declare the vassal to China again, at this time Zheng Kezhang took the stage and the Mongolian flags swore three chapters, agreed that Huaxia will protect the Mongolian princes and the Mongolian banners of the territory, cattle and sheep, and the safety of the people, respect the Yellow Religion, trade and mutual benefit.

The oath was abandoned, and the princes of the Mongolian banners knelt down to ask Zheng Kezhang to ascend the throne of the Mongolian Great Khan, Bogda Khan.

In this regard, Zheng Kezhang expressed his unequivocal refusal in public: "I am the ruler of all states as the emperor of China, and the Great Khan of Mongolia is also a vassal of me, and I can lead the head of the vassal as a monarch." ”

Of course, it was also important to appease the Mongols, so Zheng Kezhang announced: "I already know the loyalty of the Mongol tribes, and I will issue an edict to the world in the near future, and in the future, the princes of this dynasty will be the Mongol Bogda Khan." ”

The Mongols understood that Emperor Wucheng felt that Mongolia was only a vassal of China now, and it was a bit of a loss to concurrently serve as the unworthy Mongolian Khan, so he simply lost it to the prince of one person, the king of ten thousand, to show the unique status of the Chinese emperor. Well, the crown prince is also the prince, anyway, this Bogda Khan is also a false name, who will be different.

It's just that the Chinese ministers on the side can understand it, and they laugh secretly in their hearts, they must know that the Huaxia Dynasty has not set up a crown prince so far, and according to Zheng Kezang's will, all dynasties will be secretly edicted in the future, so the so-called crown prince leader Mongolian Bogda Khan is actually an air-to-air nonsense. But nonsense can keep the Mongols from feeling wronged, and that's okay.

However, these Chinese ministers did not know that a few years later, when Zheng Kezhang turned over his cards, he really asked the prince to re-receive these Mongols in Chengde on his behalf, and thus ascended to the position of the Mongolian Great Khan, and finally formed a system - after the Chinese emperors announced the candidate for the crown prince, the then crown prince must go to Chengde to inherit the throne of the Mongolian Great Khan, and then return to Beijing to govern the country for one to two years, and then step down from the position of the Mongolian Great Khan after the end of the transition period and officially ascend to the Chinese throne.

The last event of the Chengde League was that Zheng Kezhang announced a crusade against the Jelimu League, which had not participated in the Chengde League.

In the Ten Banners of the Zhelimu League, the Horqin Left Wing Front Banner, the Horqin Left Wing Middle Banner, the Horqin Right Wing Front Banner, the Zarat Banner, the Dulbert Banner, and the Golros Banner, the princes of the six banners continued to attach themselves to the Qing court, and although the other four banners of Horqin changed their courts, they did not participate in the Chengde Alliance because the attacks of Yunyu and Yunyou and others were inseparable. In the name of rescuing the Four Banners and allocating the Six Banners pasture, Zheng Kezhang ordered Kuching to attack the Horqin people before the Northern Expedition.

The temptation of the grassland is naturally not small, except for the seven banners of Ordos that are moving, it is inconvenient to send troops, and the rest of the Mongolian banners actively expressed their willingness to send troops to jointly conquest, especially the banners of the Zhaowuda League, which is about to cede the West Liaohe region, are even more eager to try. To this end, Zheng Kezhang ordered all banners to lead their troops into the Alukorqin Banner before the arrival of summer, and cooperate with the Mongol rebels to launch a general attack on the Qing court and the Horqin coalition army??????

After the Chengde Alliance, Zheng Kezhang returned directly to Wuchang, he was still on the way back, but a war on the distant Tianzhu Ocean was brewing and ripening without his knowledge, and was waiting to explode.

"That's the result of my joint investigation with the sailors of the Sea Serpent." Sun Peifu recounted to the captains of the thirty-six Western families who had just arrived. "Hongyi is actually strong in Xilan."

This statement was agreed by most of the captains, and it is true that a mere gunboat armed with twenty-four guns and no more than four messenger ships with twelve guns or less were not worth mentioning to the Chinese sailors, and even fifty warships of various types cobbled together by thirty-six Western companies had an overwhelming advantage over them.

It's just that someone is more careful: "I don't know, how is the town guard going to fight the enemy?" ”

"Since the imperial court did not issue an order to take the initiative to start a war with Hongyi, it is not good for this official to act beyond his authority at will."

Niu Mingli, who served as the guard of Tianzhu Town as the first-class captain of Zhengwupin, made the captains of the thirty-six families in the West commotion, you can't act beyond your authority, so what are we, are we scapegoats that can be thrown out anytime and anywhere?

Someone immediately asked, "Lord Niu, how is this different from what Lord Hua said?" ”

Niu Mingli made a gesture of calm and continued to say: "It's not just that the imperial court hasn't started a war with Hongyi for the time being, but it has this meaning, but the newly established Dongtianzhu Naval Division is still being formed, and there is no way to transfer ships immediately from Lingyamen's side, so this battle can only be fought by everyone here." ”

Looking at the scene of boos, Niu Mingli said quietly: "Several captains of the Tianzhu Town Guarding Mansion have also seen that in the case of the detachment withdrawing to Lingyamen, only two third-class letter ships can be dispatched, and other miscellaneous ships can keep their mouths, and they are afraid that it will be more auspicious to go to the sea, so this official decided to send these two letter ships to Jaffna to contain Hongyi's cruising ships, as for any enemy ships appearing, it will be troublesome for you to clean up." ”

Only then did the 36 Western families understand what was going on with the so-called not taking the initiative to start a war with the Dutch was nothing more than covering their ears and stealing the bell, so as not to send a brigade to blockade Tianzhu Town and defend the mansion and then have the possibility of a full-scale war with China, which caught the Sulu Navy Division and the East Tianzhu Navy Division off guard, which were not yet ready.

Niu Mingli added: "This official thinks that the various families have never cooperated and have different banners, so they will be under the unified command of the sea and the actions after boarding the 6th with a strong captain, and you may obey the dispatch?" ”

As for the imperial court to send someone to command, the thirty-six Western families also took it into account and thought it was acceptable, otherwise, judging from its loose alliance, it might be possible for one or two to join forces, but once the number of ships reached more than forty or fifty, no one could play it.

"That's very good." Niu Mingli nodded. "As for how to build a fortress, such as the abandoned port of Hehui, and how to deal with the 6th Hongyi Division, can you accept it when there is Captain Tu to command?" Even the command of the sea was handed over, and the command of the 6th was not guaranteed, and the 36 Western families did not dare to have any objections. "As for military discipline," Niu Mingli swept the pale faces of the shipowners. "Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and they still have to trade here in the future, and they hope to be restrained."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately promised: "Please rest assured, I will take care of those little rabbits." ”

Niu Mingli knew what the owners and captains of the ships present were worried about, so he further explained: "This battle is not to do a battle with Hongyi, but to force Hongyi to retreat with the advantage of more ships and soldiers, and then as long as the 6th castle port has a prototype, this temporary team can be disbanded, no matter whether the Dutch is looking for the imperial court to protest or directly send a large army of ships, it will take time, enough for the garrison to slowly improve the defense." ”

This made everyone feel a lot more relieved, and thinking about it, these fifty boats could frighten the Dutch just by scare, so someone laughed and said: "It is better to block the gates of Jaffna and Colombo, and maybe you can also plunder the city." ”

Niu Mingli thought about it for a while, and let the 36 Westerners raid the city, and if they succeeded, they could also destroy the dominance of the Dutch in Sri Lanka, shake the status of Colombo and Jaffna's trading ports, and promote the re-prosperity of Trincomalee Port. However, although there were not many Dutch warships in the above two harbors, they were heavily fortified and had a lot of coastal artillery. But looking at the bloody eyes of the shipowners and captains present, and considering that this is not the army of the imperial court, he does not have to care about military discipline, so he finally agreed.

"If you can agree to the two conditions of this official, and you can capture the two cities on your own, it is not impossible." Niu Mingli stretched out his hand: "First, we must ensure that the construction of Trincomalee Port is not affected; Second, those who resist can be killed, and the killing is unknown. ”

Boss Qi, who personally led the team out, patted his chest and promised: "It's a fool to kill people, we still lack labor in Zhuangzi, even if it is not transported to southern Myanmar, it can be ?????? to speed up the construction of the fort port by pulling it to Trincomalee first."

The principal of the thirty-six Western families left, but Captain Qiang reproached Niu Mingli: "Lord Niu, you shouldn't have agreed to the thirty-six Western families, this is obviously not forcing Hongyi to work hard." ”

Although Captain Qiang guards the pipe belt of the Miscellaneous Ship Detachment of the Mansion, the relationship between his superiors and subordinates with Niu Mingli is not very strict, so Niu Mingli does not speak to him in a commanding tone: "The so-called weak and strong, as long as there is overwhelming strength, Hongyi's desperate efforts are just a mantis arm as a car, what is there to fear." ”

Captain Tu on the side also said in a jealous tone: "The thirty-six families in the West are just pirates, and they actually want to count on the identity of the internal domain, and now they are consuming it with the hands of Hongyi, why not ???????"
