Chapter 810: If you don't go, you can't go

Naxun Zhuomutu was furious, he wanted to refute Wang Feng's fallacy, in his eyes, this was a fallacy, but although the Khalkha Ministry was located in the north of the desert, it was not ignorant of the world situation, at least the Russians made the Outer Mongolia realize the importance of muskets and artillery.

Emperor Yuan Shun was still able to flee to Mobei, but the Qing Dynasty had to move to Australia under the blow of the Democratic Alliance, and he did not dare to escape back to the deep mountains and old forests between the white mountains and black waters, what does this mean? It shows that the old routine of running if you can't beat it in the past no longer works.

Industrialized civilization is pervasive, and it can pull you to the ends of the earth.

Naxun Zhuomutu had no choice but to snort coldly: "We have the support of the Russians, and we may not be able to fight with you." ”

"Hahahaha~~" Wang Feng suddenly laughed and said: "The Russians are too busy to take care of themselves, otherwise how can it be your turn to be a substitute for the Russians?" Didn't the Russians know that the Mongols were low in combat effectiveness?

Now that these hundreds of thousands of Russians have been besieged by our army in Xinjiang, why should he rush to attack? Because he has realized that something is wrong, and only by taking the initiative to attack may there be a glimmer of life, why did he drive the Central Asians to death? Because he did not dare to fight our army head-on, he wanted to consume the ammunition of our army. ”

As he was talking, Wang Feng waved his hand and asked people to untie the rope of Naxun Zhuo Mutu, and then he smiled: "You have been escorted all the way, and you have also seen the ammunition replenished by our army, not to mention these hundreds of thousands of Central Asians, even if it is doubled, our army's ammunition will not be able to run out, and it can continue to be transported from the rear, do you Khalkha Mongols dare to rob again?" ”

Wang Feng's sentence, the low combat effectiveness of the Mongols deeply stabbed Naxun Zhuo Mutu, but he was speechless. Under the Qing court's policy of reducing the number of people for more than 200 years, the population of Mongolia has decreased sharply. Most of Ding Zhuang was forced to become lamas, and his strength was greatly affected.

Take, for example, the Tushetu Khan. For a long time, it has been the head of the four Khalkha tribes, the Chechen Khan in the east, Suiyuan and Chahar in the south, the Sanyin Noyan in the west, the Tangnu Ulianghai in the northwest, and Siberia in the north, with an area of nearly one million square kilometers and a population of only a few hundred thousand. Lamas also accounted for a considerable part, and the princes and nobles could really govern less than half of the population.

This time, the Mushetu Khan was bewitched by the Russians and attacked the transport convoy of the Democratic Alliance with 20,000 elite cavalry, paying more than 5,000 casualties.

Because of the small population of Mongolia, every Mongol is precious, and Nasun Zhuomutu is also to avoid more casualties among the warriors. took the initiative to stay in the palace, but was shot in the calf, and he was helplessly taken prisoner, although the Democratic Alliance tried their best to treat him. The shot was lucky not to hit the leg bone, but the wound recovery was a long process, and to this day. Walking is still a little limping.

This also illustrates from the side, although the Mongols are expensive. But Mongolia's strength has indeed declined very much, otherwise. Why hitch yourself for thousands of casualties?

Wang Feng glanced at Naxun Zhuomutu, and said: "You Khalkha Mongolia is not benevolent, but as the emperor of China, I can't help but be generous, this time you Khalkha is my enemy, I can read that it is for the sake of being bewitched by the Russians, and I don't care, I can also not kill you, but I will never allow another time."

In this way, after the Russian army has been broken, I will let you go back and send a message on my behalf to the Great Khan of Chelindorzi and the remaining three Khalkhas, first, to cut off all trade with the Russians, and second, the five-year treaty is still in force. ”

Naxun Zhuo Mutu's mind was completely robbed, and at this time, he could no longer have the slightest intention of resisting, as if he was unable to resist in the face of Tianwei.

In fact, the severance of trade with Russia was beneficial to the foreign vassal Mongolia, and in 1802, the Qing court was forced to sign the "Sino-Mongolian Land Trade Charter" with Russia.

With the help of this charter, Russia monopolized the trade between Mongolia and Xinjiang, seriously hindered the development of trade between the interior and the frontier, and made the 10,000-mile border area between Mongolia and Xinjiang a tax-free trade zone exclusively occupied by Russia.

From Kulun to Zhangjiakou, Russia's economic plundering was rampant, and Russian foreign companies sprung up in Mongolia one after another, and most of the Russian merchants who came to Mongolia practiced barter and animal products as collateral, and were jointly guaranteed by the Mongolian people.

They gave the local population on credit the goods they had brought in, such as cotton textiles, woollen wool, foodstuffs, ironware, and other miscellaneous goods, at a much higher price than the market price, and then charged the animal products at a discount below the market price, and if they could not repay them when due, the Russian merchants, through the Russian consul, sent a note to the Allied flag chief, and fined the Mongols two or three times the amount until they had seized all the property that the Mongols might have.

In order to make high profits, Russian businessmen often raise the price of commodities to one to two and a half times the original price in the name of surcharges, and through this cruel means of cunning and plundering, the net profit of each Russian businessman is not less than four to fifty percent, and even if this standard is not reached, the operators will be treated as imbecile losers.

Russian merchants also set up trading posts, consignment shops, and mobile tents throughout the outer Mongolian domains, and often took advantage of the fact that the Mongols were short of money and in urgent need of cash to lower the purchase prices of livestock, furs, and other raw materials, and to order from them in rubles the livestock products of the following year.

These so-called credit trades are actually a kind of usury in disguise, and to this day, the number of usury loans pledged by Russian merchants to the Mongols with land and property is also increasing, resulting in a lot of debts and misery for the local population.

Since the "Sino-Mongolian Land Trade Charter" stipulates that no tax will be paid on the commercial trade of Russian businessmen in this area, and it is difficult for Chinese businessmen to compete with Russian businessmen because they pay taxes at the customs, and it is difficult for them to compete with Russian businessmen because they have been tricked into paying taxes, so Tsarist Russia has discovered business opportunities and induced Chinese businessmen to join Russian nationality, or they have bought blank licenses and shipping slips from Russia, pretended to be merchants, trafficked in land loans, evaded taxes, and even set up checkpoints in China's border areas without authorization, set up false names, and forcibly collect taxes.

As a result of the shameless acts of the Russian government, from the government to the merchants, the commercial taxes of the foreign vassal Mongolia were completely destroyed, and the Qing court not only suffered huge losses in fiscal revenue, but also almost lost the effective rule of the foreign vassal Mongolia.

Not only that, but Russia also flagrantly violated the treaty by imposing taxes on goods imported from China into Russia, and sometimes withholding or confiscating them under various pretexts.

Russia has been confiscating Chinese goods for hundreds of years.

In addition, Russian businessmen would also enter the bazaars of Inner Mongolia to trade, exchanging inferior cotton products, daily necessities, woolen fabrics, and agricultural and animal husbandry production tools for camels, horses, cattle and sheep, furs, medicinal materials, and native products, and they often returned with a full load.

In recent years, Mongolia has supplied Russia with hundreds of thousands of poods, marmots, and all kinds of furs, as well as hundreds of thousands of sheep and large livestock, and in fact, Mongolia has become a market for Russia to dump industrial products and a base for plundering livestock and furs.

The pood is the Russian unit of measurement, and one pood is equal to forty Russian pounds, which is about 16.38 kilograms.

This shows the importance of trade with Mongolia to Russia, and banning Mongolia's trade with Russia can not only severely damage Russia's economy, but also enable Mongolia to avoid being exploited by Russia, and Nasun Zhuomutu is happy to see it, anyway, the Chinese are powerful, and Mongolia does not dare to disobey, unless Russia can defeat China.

However, going to Australia not only requires leaving the steppes where our ancestors have lived for generations, but more importantly, everything has to start from scratch, and in the process, the outer Mongolian vassal may lose its independence and be completely absorbed by the Manchurians.

You must know that the outer Mongolia is different from the inner Mongolia, the inner Mongolia can basically be regarded as a province of the Qing Dynasty, and the princes and ministers of the outer Mongolia have considerable power, and the relationship with the Qing court is also very delicate.

Naxun Zhuomutu gritted his teeth and gave a Mongolian courtesy: "Your Majesty, since you pride yourself on being generous, why can't you allow my Mongolians to settle in the steppe?" When I returned, I persuaded my father Khan and the other three Khans that the Khalkha tribe would be a vassal of China forever and would never betray him. "Oh?" Wang Feng said with a playful smile: "In May of the thirtieth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1691 AD), when Kangxi and the princes of Inner and Outer Mongolia met in Duolunuoer, how did your ancestors promise at that time? But as the Qing Dynasty decayed, what did you do? Well? Knowing that the Russians are not a good thing, but still have to fight with the Russians, there is a tendency to gradually break away from the Qing Dynasty, this is the so-called eternal vassal of your Khalkha Ministry, and will never betray? ”

Naxun Zhuo Mutu blushed, the facts were here, he didn't know how to tell the difference, and it was useless for him to guarantee what would happen in the future.

"That's it!" Wang Feng waved his hand and said: "Between China and Mongolia, since the Southern Song Dynasty, grievances have been entangled for hundreds of years, and it's time to solve them.

In fact, this is like two brothers, if they don't live together, they can maintain a good relationship, and if they live together, all kinds of contradictions will follow, and sooner or later they will get to the point where brothers are at odds and soldiers meet each other.

Take a step back and say, didn't you Mongolians also call the world home in your early years? The Golden Horde and the Chagatai Khanate were all built in Europe, and the Mughal Dynasty in India was also built by the Mongols, so why can't you do it? Is it that hard to migrate?

I know your worries, I am afraid that if you go to Australia, you will be annexed by the Jin State, but this is your own business, Australia is very big, you can organize troops, and the territory you have seized is naturally yours, or you can also go to New Zealand, not far from Australia, there are also large natural pastures, of course, if the Mongolian tribes lose their enterprising spirit, then, it may not be a proper way to belong to Manchuria.

In addition, I will not repeat the wealth of Australia, in short, within five years, the relocation of the Mongol tribes of the outer vassal must be completed, if they are not forced to leave, the Chinese government will regard the Mongols of the outer vassal as voluntarily naturalized as Chinese nationality, break up the Mongols as family units, and move to the south to settle down, and if the above two are not accepted, then we can only strike at them by force. (To be continued.) )
