On January 10, 1847, after a heavy snowfall, there was a rare sunny day in Cullen. However, the temperature did not rise much because of the sunny day, but rather made people feel colder. The so-called snow does not turn cold into snow, probably this is the truth.

A horse-drawn carriage walked through the streets of Cullen, and because the snow was so good, the wheels left deep marks in the snow. Two horses pulling carts gasped. A group of Qing soldiers surrounded the carriage and protected the people inside the carriage. This carriage was the carriage of the Manchu Qing minister in Kulun. The people sitting in the carriage, in addition to Cheng Kai, the Manchu minister in Kulen, also had a high nose, white skin, and a bearded Russian. He was the Russian Consul General in Kulen, Maxim. In the corner of the carriage, there was also a young man huddled there. He was an interpreter for the Yamen, the minister of the Kulen office. Cheng Kai did not speak Russian, and his conversation with the Russian Consul General in Kulen, Maxim, was all translated by this interpreter.

"Your Excellency, we are about to arrive at the palace of King Chelindorji Khan. King Chelin Dorji Khan is the Khan of the Tushetu Khan and the Saiyin Noyan Tribe, these two tribes are the largest tribes in Mobei Mongolia, as long as he can support us, we can completely control the entire Mongolian steppe! This time, I have brought orders from His Royal Highness the Regent, and Chelindorji will have to obey our orders! Cheng Kai, the minister of Kulun's office, said with an oath.

After the Manchu government signed a traitorous pact with Russia, they also realized that if the Chinese Empire launched an attack the following spring. It is estimated that the city of Beijing cannot be defended. After negotiations between the Manchu government and the Russians, they decided that if the Chinese Empire launched an attack, they would not be able to hold the city of Beijing. He took the initiative to retreat to the Mongolian steppe and relied on the vast steppe to continue the confrontation with the Chinese Empire. Although the Mongolian steppe is barren, it is vast, and the Chinese Empire, which does not have enough cavalry, wants to defeat them on the steppe, it is very difficult. Because Monan Mongolia is too close to Guannai, once a war starts. It is estimated that it will not be able to withstand the powerful army of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the Mongolian steppe in Mobei is the best place. The Manchu government even issued an order to the Mongol tribes in southern Mo, and after the beginning of spring, all Mongolian tribes moved to Mobei Mongolia. Prepare for a protracted war with the Chinese Empire. At this time, the Manchus did not know that the Mongol tribes in southern Mo had made a secret alliance and had pledged their allegiance to the Chinese Empire.

For this order of the Manchu government, the Mongol ministries in southern Mo were very resistant. There are so many of them. How could it be possible to move all of them to the Mobei grassland? Besides. The Mobei grassland doesn't have so much grassland to feed them! Many Mongol tribes were even more disappointed with the Manchus. Even the tribes that originally had a trace of illusions about the Manchu Qing have extinguished all illusions at this time. The Manchus didn't care about their lives at all! So why did they change to a better master?

The Manchus thought that the Mongol tribes would listen to their orders, and they did not know that the Mongol tribes were only deceiving them according to the orders of the empire. In addition to Monan Mongolia, you also have to say hello to the Mobei Mongolian tribes. When the time comes, the Manchu government will move to Kulen, and it will first have to get the support of these local snakes in Mobei Mongolia. Therefore, this time, Cheng Kai, the minister of Kulen, and Maxim, the Russian consul general in Kulen, went to the palace of King Chelindolji Khan for the purpose of discussing this matter with King Chelindolji Khan.

After the carriage came to the hinterland of King Chelindorzi Khan. The subordinate guarding the door hurriedly went to report. Soon, the figure of King Chelindolzi Khan appeared. He didn't seem to expect Cheng Kai to visit him. And there was also an old Russian Maozi with him.

"Lord Cheng, Lord Consul, please come in quickly!" King Chelin Dolzi Khan greeted warmly.

"Haha, King Khan, excuse me!" Cheng Kai said with a smile.

And the Russian Consul General in Kulen, Maxim, nodded haughtily, and did not seem to take King Chelindorzi Khan seriously. Although the Russian army suffered a crushing defeat under Shengjing City, these Russians stubbornly believed that it was because the Russian army was well prepared, and they did not lose to the Imperial Chinese Army, but to God. If they had enough supplies to survive the winter, they might not have failed. Now, the Manchu government can only rely on Russia, which makes the Russians even more arrogant.

Seeing Maxim's attitude, King Chelindolzi Khan was a little displeased. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, as the Khan King of the two largest tribes in the Mobei grassland, when has the King of Chelin Dorji Khan been so despised!

After coming to the living room of the palace, the two sides sat down, and after the servant brought the tea, they withdrew, and there was no outsider except for a butler. At this time, King Chelindolzi Khan asked about their intentions.

"Lord Cheng, are you here this time?" King Chelin Dolzi Khan asked.

"King Khan, this official is here this time to convey the order of His Royal Highness the Regent!" Cheng Kai said solemnly.

"His Royal Highness the Regent's order?" King Chelindorzi Khan was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect it. After all, the regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu is now the de facto master of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Emperor Xianfeng, the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was nothing more than a puppet. The regent actually gave him an order himself, which made King Chelindorji Khan a little flattered. Of course, he was also guessing what exactly this order was.

"King Khan! After the beginning of spring next year, the rebels will definitely launch an attack on the capital. With the current strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist. Because, His Royal Highness the regent has already decided to abandon the Guannai and retreat to the Mongolian steppe to continue the fight against the rebels. When the time comes, we will need the strong support of the Khan King! Cheng Kai said.

"What? You said that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and His Majesty the Emperor were coming to the grassland? This, how can this work? King Chelin Dolzi Khan said in astonishment. He is now the master of the Mobei grassland, if the regent and the emperor come, then what position does he have? Maybe you'll be taken advantage of to get rid of it. After all, the regent and the others would never be reassured of him.

"The King of Khan, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and His Majesty the Emperor came to the steppe to continue the fight against the rebels. After the reinforcements of our Russian allies arrive, and after we have defeated the rebels, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and His Majesty the Emperor will return to Beijing and will not stay in the steppe forever! Cheng Kai seemed to see what King Chelin Dorzi Khan was worried about, so he said.

"No, Adult, I definitely didn't mean that. I mean, the grasslands are inherently bitter cold lands. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and His Majesty the Emperor are both golden bodies, how can they suffer on the grassland? King Chelin Dorji Khan stammered a little, and of course he could not admit that the regent and Emperor Xianfeng were not welcome to come to the steppe. There are only other excuses. In addition, once the Manchu government withdrew to the grasslands, the flames of war would definitely spread to the grasslands. Aren't they the Mongols who will suffer at that time?

"King Khan, these are extraordinary times, and we have no other way. As long as you can defeat the rebels, it's worth it! Cheng Kai said. Giving up the world of flowers in the Guannai is very sad for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, if the ministry gives up, it may be completely wiped out and retreat to the grassland, and there is no way.

"Okay, Master Cheng, I know!" King Chelindorzi Khan said. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to agree first, and then discuss with the Chechen Khan and the Zasaktu Khan.

"In addition, King Khan, at that time, the Mongol tribes of Monan will also retreat to the Mobei steppe with His Royal Highness the Regent and His Majesty the Emperor. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent hoped that the Khan would be able to set aside some pastures in advance to settle the Mongol compatriots in southern Mongols. Don't get messy! Cheng Kai continued.

Suddenly, King Chelin Dorji Khan couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, there are a total of two million people in Southern Mongolia! Including the people evacuated by the Manchu government to the Mobei grassland, the total number is at least 2.5 million people. After so many people poured into the Mobei grassland, where could they afford it! If nothing else, there is simply not enough pasture to house those compatriots in southern Mongolia.

"Lord Cheng, there are not many grasslands in the Mobei grassland, and many tribes have been affected this year, so I'm afraid we can't afford it!" King Chelin Dolzi Khan said with a bitter face.

"King Khan, I know there are difficulties. But now, we have no other way but to try our best to overcome the difficulties! After defeating the Manchu Qing and restoring the Qing Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will definitely not treat the Khan King badly! Cheng Kai promised.

"Humph! It is not clear that the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty have not yet been restored, and our Mobei Mongolian tribes have been destroyed. If we can't defeat the Chinese Empire, will our department also suffer? King Chelin Dorji Khan secretly thought that he believed these empty checks issued by Cheng Kai!

Seeing the face of King Chelin Dorji Khan, Cheng Kai was a little displeased.

"King Khan, as a courtier of the Great Qing Dynasty, shouldn't he share his worries about the Great Qing Dynasty at this time?"

"Master Cheng, may I think about it?" King Chelindorzi Khan said.

"King Khan, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops are about to arrive. If your tribe cooperates with us, your clan will be regarded as an enemy of the Russian Empire! Maxim, the Russian consul general in Kulen, said suddenly.

King Chelin Dolji Khan's face suddenly became a little unsightly, and this old man was obviously threatening him.

"Okay, Lord Cheng, Lord Consul, I know, I'll arrange it!" King Chelindorzi Khan said. All he can do now is to agree to come down first, and stabilize Cheng Kai and Maxim first. (To be continued......)
