Chapter 362: Dreams are as big as people's hearts
Zheng Sen's face was shocked, but the generals accompanying him were not shocked, and those family members who were dressed as military generals were even more indifferent, they just followed behind and continued their own defense work.
It seems that everyone is used to Zhou Huchen's style of doing things, Zheng Sen doesn't want to be looked down upon by others, so he decisively closed his mouth and never spoke out again.
The group returned to the station, and Zhou Huchen was idle again.
Of course, Zhou Huchen will not be completely idle, he will also arrange future battles.
"Dashuai means to enter the Hulunbuir steppe, and then southwest into Siberia." In front of him was a simple map, and Zheng Sen pointed to the map and asked.
The map is marked with the Hulunbuir steppe, but also marked with the vast Siberia and Outer Mongolia, although this map is very simple, only Outer Mongolia and Hulunbuir grassland are marked with place names and mountains, but it is good to have a map, in this era has been really difficult.
"The territory of Siberia is too vast, it is not possible to take it all in one moment, and it must be left to Mo Shuai to slowly clean it up in the future, the east of the Siberian territory is not in a hurry, it will easily belong to us, this time in order to prevent Tsarist Russia from occupying the western end of Siberia, we will inspect there to show our existence, of course, if there is a chance, we will also take it all. The main target of this campaign was Outer Mongolia, where there was a gap between the two mountain ranges, and controlling a large area would allow for patrolling back and forth between Siberia and Outer Mongolia. Before the winter, we will enter the steppes of Outer Mongolia here, enter Siberia, and then we will continue to conquer and then return to the north to return our exploits to Bixia."
Zhou Huchen talked eloquently, while Zheng Sen gestured the distance of the map with his hand, he glared and asked, "Dashuai, how far is this?" I'm afraid it's a journey of thousands of miles! Oh, my God! If I still don't go, how long will it take to get home? I'm afraid that when I return to Fujian, my daughter will marry Zhou Zhentian! ”
Zheng Sen is exaggerating. But this distance is really scary.
"We can't get to it for thousands of miles, but it's almost the same to go back and forth to fight all over the place, so we have to use all the cavalry this time, and the Mongols have horses, which are just for us! My men are the best soldiers, and when I equip them with horses, that's what I call galloping! Zhou Huchen explained with a smile.
It's too much to take it for granted, the Mongols will help like this, Zheng Sen shook his head: "Are the Mongols so stupid?" Will give us so many horses, they are not my real subordinates. Who does such a stupid thing? ”
"The people of Inner Mongolia will do it, I will let them obediently sacrifice their horses, and at the same time they will be our guides and follow us to fight." Zhou Huchen continued to smile, looking confident.
Zheng Sen continued to shake his head and said, "Okay! I know you have a lot of ideas, and these foolish Mongols may be fooled by you. However, I am not optimistic about such a long-term rush of operations, and if there is an accident, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. How many ancestors wanted to do this, but after all, there was no foundation. Let's take our time and find a more secure approach. ”
"Well, that's right!" Zhou Huchen sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have such time, so I have to use the fastest and most effective way to deal with these future troubles." Brother, how many years do you say a person can live? If I don't, what chance will I have in the future? ”
Zheng Sen stopped talking for a while, and he fell into thought. After a long period of contact, he actually understood Zhou Huchen. The blueprint in Zhou Huchen's heart can be said to be shocking, and these ideas and Jihua Zhou Huchen have repeatedly discussed with Zheng Sen.
"Well, in that case. No matter how difficult it is, I also want to join, in the future, when we are old, we can proudly boast to future generations, look, this Ming Dynasty is what we laid, the far north land once used us to gallop, think about it is not bad! ”
How big a person's heart is, how big a dream is, Zhou Huchen undoubtedly has a super big heart, Zheng Sen has no reason to make Zhou Huchen's heart smaller, so Zheng Sen no longer persuades, but adopts a calm attitude of support.
In fact, not supporting him can't control Zhou Huchen
A few days passed quickly, and the Mongol tribes finally sent emissaries.
This time it was Wu Keshan and the local leader Lamur, Wu Keshan, the prince of Jianzhou, who was actually full of hatred for Zhou Huchen. Because many of his relatives ran away with Dorgon and others, and now their lives and deaths are unknown, and there is no hatred and abnormality. But at the same time, for the tribes of Inner Mongolia, this can be regarded as a relief, the brutality of the Jianzhou people has been a long time, and now it is the turn to bargain with the Ming Dynasty.
Whoever has a sharper knife has the right to speak, the Mongols believe in liliang, and Wu Keshan comes with a mission. The Mongols rely on the tribe, women and marriage are just tools, Wu Keshan can't abandon the tribal interests because he follows his relatives in Jianzhou, so Wu Keshan came this time to obtain the maximum benefits for the tribes of the entire Inner Mongolia.
Zhou Huchen naturally knows the relationship between Wu Keshan and the Jianzhou royal family, but this is nothing, it is impossible for Jiannu to turn over, these Inner Mongolian nobles know the stakes, and they will make the most correct choice in front of the interests of the tribe.
In fact, in order to show solemnity, Wu Keshan and Lamur came to inform Zhou Huchen that tomorrow will still be the big tent, and a new round of negotiations will begin
The negotiation is nothing more than a question of autonomy and treatment, and it is a matter of some of the details, which are a continuation of history, but it is only a question of the control of the suzerain, and there are many examples to follow in history, and Zhou Huchen can be said to be in control.
It can be said that the negotiations were carried out very easily, and the guests and hosts spoke one after another. The Mongolian leaders are just to get more benefits and autonomy, this is easy to talk about, Zhou Huchen is very well prepared, and Zheng Sen, who rarely speaks on this occasion, knows it in his heart, he can be regarded as a good handful, and frequently bragging about the benefits of various policies for Zhou Huchen, which can be regarded as a great help.
The conversation was very enthusiastic, the process was very fast, and I felt that the time was almost up, Zhou Huchen decisively threw out the biggest bait: "I also want to inform you that Ben Shuai will not return to the division immediately after negotiating with everyone this time, and Ben Shuai will continue to go north here when the supplies arrive." ”
There was silence in the tent for a moment.
Zhou Huchen silently began to wait, because these Mongol leaders should understand what he meant.
The first to break the silence was Badali: "May I ask the commander, are you going to crusade against Hu Helu?" ”
"The tribes of the Hulunbuir steppe have not paid tribute for many years, and they have been very close to our enemy Jianzhou, and they also have a part in entering the customs.
Badali smiled, this is all an excuse, are there any tribes that are closer to the Kor Mongols and the Jianzhou people? The Qing Dynasty queens of the Jianzhou people are all the sisters and aunts of the Kol people, as for how many daughters of the Kol people have married the Jianzhou nobles, and how many Jianzhou royal families have married as bargaining chips, Badali can't count them. The founding of the state is a thing of the past, the rich Hulunbuir prairie is the goal, and Hu Helu is just a political victim. (To be continued......)
