After receiving the assurances of Major Niu Zhiyang, King Chelin Dorji Khan, King Artashda Khan, and King Chelin Duandob Khan, all signed their names and stamped their seals on the letter of allegiance. This means that they have officially pledged their allegiance to the Empire and can no longer go back. This also means that the three major Mongolian tribes, in addition to Moxi Mongolia, the other two major Mongolia have taken refuge in the Chinese Empire. Most of the strength of Mongolia is already in the hands of the empire.

"Haha, that's good. Three princes, now we are a family! However, we will not publish this information until the empire falls to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, you will continue to make false relations with the Manchus and the Russians, and you can agree to whatever conditions they propose. After the fall of the Empire to the Manchus next spring, you will openly take refuge in the Empire! Major Niu Zhiyang said. This is also done in order to startle the snake. After all, in the city of Beijing, there were almost 300,000 Manchu Qing people. Among them, if the cavalry is added to the Russian Cossack cavalry, there are almost 100,000 people. If the Manchus wanted to flee first once they got the news, they would be in big trouble. Although with the great strength of the Imperial Army, the destruction of the Manchus was certain. But there will definitely be a bigger price to pay and more time wasted. The plan of the Imperial General Staff was to destroy the Manchus before the arrival of Russian reinforcements, and then occupy all of Mongolia and advance the front directly to Eastern Siberia!

"Okay. General Cow! King Chelindorzi Khan nodded. In this way, it is also exactly what they want. It can effectively protect them.

"Three princes, the Imperial Army will form 200,000 cavalry, these cavalry. There will be a mix of Mongols and Han Chinese. The Mongol tribes in Monan have responded positively, and have sent strong men to join the imperial cavalry troops. What about the Mongol tribes in Mobei? Major Niu Zhiyang asked. The total strength of the Imperial cavalry was about 200,000 men, and six cavalry corps were to be formed, two of which had already begun to be formed. The other four are also about to be formed.

"General Niu, that is, among these cavalrymen. Almost 100,000 people were made up of Mongols. I would like to ask, after we Mongols join the army, can we get the same treatment as the Han Chinese? King Artashda Khan asked.

"Yes. King Artashda Khan! The empire has always treated all peoples equally. After the Mongols joined the army, they also enjoyed the treatment they deserved. Even the smallest soldier has a monthly allowance of 5 Chinese dollars! Major Niu Zhiyang said.

"5 Chinese dollars. That's 5 taels of silver. A year down. There are also sixty taels of silver, which is a considerable income! King Chelin Duandob Khan said. Many herdsmen on the grasslands can't earn so much money after a year of hard work.

"In addition, the commander of the Imperial Cavalry Unit is Monk Grinqin of the Horqin Division, and now he is a major general of the Imperial Army!" Major Niu Zhiyang said. He knew that these Mongolian princes still had some doubts in their hearts. What he had to do now was to dispel the doubts in their hearts.

"The commander of the cavalry unit is actually a monk king?" King Chelin Dolzi Khan and others were shocked. The Chinese Empire would have appointed the Mongols as the senior commanders of the troops. This is obviously not treating them as outsiders!

"General Niu, since our Mobei Mongolia is willing to join the empire, then we are naturally willing to serve the country. As long as the order is given, we will definitely mobilize the young people of the tribe to join the army! King Cherindolzi Khan said.

"By the way, three princes, I still have to remind you. According to the laws of the Empire, no local power could have a private army. So, when the time comes, your tribe will also be disarmed. If they all join the Empire* army, this can be regarded as arranging a way out for them! Major Niu Zhiyang said. For the sake of the stability of the empire, the empire will never allow any local power to be armed.

King Chelindorzi Khan and others were a little difficult to accept, if they didn't have soldiers in their hands, would their safety still be guaranteed? When the time comes, won't the Chinese Empire be left to all kinds?

"Three princes, to be honest, your private soldiers, no matter how powerful they are, are no match for the Imperial Army. Besides, you have pledged your allegiance to the Empire. Therefore, there is no point in you keeping the army. In that case, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. As long as you obey the law, the Empire will keep you safe! Major Niu Zhiyang continued.

Subsequently, Major Niu Zhiyang explained to them some economic support policies, which made the three Mongolian princes very satisfied. When the war was over, the empire would vigorously support the herders of the steppes, so that they would be able to live a better life.

"General Niu, don't worry, we Mongolians are all talkative. Now that we've made our decision, it's not going to change. King Cherindolzi Khan said.

The solemn statement of King Chelin Dorji Khan made Major Niu Zhiyang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"General Niu, will the Empire's war with the Russians spread to the steppe in the future?" King Artashda Khan asked. Once the war spreads on the grassland, it will definitely bring disaster to the herdsmen on the grassland.

"King Khan, I can't give you any exact assurance right now. However, the Empire will do its best to advance the front into Eastern Siberia. However, the military strength of the Russians was not weak, especially their Cossack cavalry, which came and went like the wind. It is unlikely that their large army will appear in the Mongolian steppe, but some of their small forces will most likely break through our blockade. When the time comes, we can only contain them as much as possible and minimize the losses. In addition, if there are herders who have suffered losses in the war, the Empire will also compensate them! This is something that the prince can rest assured! Major Niu Zhiyang said.

King Artashda Khan nodded, and Major Niu Zhiyang's answer was quite satisfactory to him.

"Humph! Although the Cossack cavalry of the Russians is powerful, we Mongols are not vegetarians either! As long as they come, we will definitely make them pay a heavy price! King Chelin Duandob Khan said.

"Three princes, if there is nothing else to do, then let's stop here today! After the three of them go back, they must keep it secret, so as not to expose it in advance and startle the snake! Major Niu Zhiyang said.

"General Niu, just now you said that His Majesty the Emperor was going to marry a woman from several major tribes in Monan Mongolia as a concubine after the war?" King Chelin Dolzi Khan asked suddenly.

"Yes, King Khan!" Major Niu Zhiyang nodded.

"General Niu, please also ask you to show Emperor His Majesty, the women of several tribes in Mobei Mongolia also admire Emperor Xià and are willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor!" King Chelin Dolji Khan hurriedly said.

King Artashda Khan and King Chelin Duandob Khan also nodded their heads one after another. If they can make peace with the emperor of the Chinese Empire, then they are still relatives of the emperor, even if there are no private soldiers in the future, their power can be guaranteed!

"Princes, I will report your request to my superiors. However, I don't think His Majesty the Emperor will refuse! Major Niu Zhiyang said. Anyway, Emperor Long Yufei is already going to marry the 6 concubines of Monan Mongolia, plus a few of Mobei Mongolia, it is not a problem, just accept them all.

Subsequently, the daughter of King Chelin Dorji Khan, the granddaughter of King Artashda Khan, and the daughter of King Chelin Duandob Khan, became one of the concubines to be married by Emperor Long Yufei. However, Major Niu Zhiyang is still humane, and he has specially explained that he must be a stunning and beautiful woman, otherwise, he will not be able to make an account of His Majesty the Emperor. The three Khan kings naturally patted their chests and said that their daughters and granddaughters are definitely the most beautiful pearls on the grassland.

The three khans had achieved their goal and left the Huitong Warehouse satisfied. Major Niu Zhiyang sent them out of the door with a smile on his face. The four major tribes of Mobei Mongolia pledged allegiance to the empire, which meant that most of the Mongol power had been controlled by the empire. The Manchus' attempt to flee to the Mongolian steppes and resist stubbornly failed. The empire fell to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there were almost no variables.

A few days before the Spring Festival in 1847, Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao, director of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, and General Niu Meng, chief of the General Staff, reported the good news to the Emperor Long Yufei with a smile.

"Your Majesty, according to the information sent back by our intelligence officers on the front line, the Khan kings of the four major tribes of Mobei Mongolia have signed a letter of allegiance, and they have decided to pledge their allegiance to the empire. Now, with the exception of Moxi Mongolia, most of the Mongols have taken refuge in the empire. Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said with a smile.

"Haha. That's great! In this case, the Manchus will be dead! Long Yufei said excitedly. Without the support of the Mongols, the Manchus would not have been able to oppose the empire even if they fled to the steppes. It can be said that the overall situation has been decided by now.

"Your Majesty, the three khans of Mobei Mongolia have also made a request!" Lieutenant Luo Hongtao continued.

"Huh? What are the requirements? Isn't it true that they also have daughters or granddaughters who want to marry me? As soon as he saw Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao's face, Long Yufei realized what had happened.

"Yes, His Majesty is really like a god. Several Mongol khans also expressed their willingness to let their daughters or granddaughters serve His Majesty! Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said.

"Your Majesty, anyway, I already have to win 6 women from Southern Mongolia, plus a few women from Northern Mongolia, it's not a big deal!" General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said.

"Alright! Marry and marry! Long Yufei seemed to be a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, so he felt that it didn't matter. However, there are too many Mongolian women in the harem, shouldn't you choose some Han women to enter the palace? (To be continued......)
