Chapter 830: Regency of the Seven Kings
After dealing with the draft, the next thing is to talk about the ownership of Mongolian power, but this matter must have the participation of the four-color stick, and now all Yang Meng can do is to arrange for the Mongolian kings to eat, drink and have fun, and wait for the arrival of those distant princes, as for the rest, let's talk about it in a few days!
Another important point is that although the plan to move the Mongol kings to Rehe was set, Yang Meng did not have the means to persuade the Mongol kings now, and the eating, drinking and merrymaking during this period was also the time for Yang Meng to find the weakness of the Mongol kings.
Mongolia is one of the hidden dangers of the Qing Dynasty, although the Mongolian kings are humble on the surface, but once their vital interests are touched, these people are also objects that say the opposite, and if one is not handled well, the inner and outer Mongolia will be cracked.
The affairs of Beijing, Tianjin and the northwest are underway, and Yang Meng, who has nothing to do, has time to fool around with the Mongolian kings in Rehe, not so much that this is an alliance, but rather a hedonistic conference, and the Mongolian king did not have such treatment when he came to Rehe before.
The girl in the building was used to entertain the Mongolian king, and the royal family set up a stage to invite folk jugglers and opera troupes, which was common in Beijing, but it was the first time in a diplomatic occasion.
Mongolia's land is less entertainment than the Qing Dynasty, and the Mongolian princes have no errands.
Similar to the emperor, these Mongolian princes, if they are diligent, there are a lot of things, but if they ignore it, they are also idlers, this is a girl and a big drama, but it is a scene that is difficult to see in the grassland, the Mongolian kings know that this is a scene arranged by Yang Guogong, invisibly, Yang Meng is among the Mongolian kings. It also got a good name.
Most of the men in the grassland are bold. Yang Meng took advantage of the opportunity to eat, drink and have fun. He was also in constant contact with the Mongolian kings, and in addition to drinking every day, they were having fun together, although the burden on his body was heavy, but Yang Meng also found an opportunity to persuade the Mongolian kings.
This opportunity is also very simple, that is, most of these Mongolian princes are poor ghosts, if you talk about the land area under your hands, these Mongolian princes are all big people, but you have to talk about the silver in your hands. Mo said that compared with the Yang family, even ordinary Jiangnan merchants were much richer than these Mongolian princes.
The land is sparsely populated, that is, the characteristics of Mongolia, some princes have land in their hands comparable to a province, but the people under the rule are less than the number of a government, the wealth of the Mongolian kings, most of them is to see the number of cattle, sheep and horses, as the saying goes, the family wealth is not counted. After a heavy snowfall last winter, many Mongol kings looked glamorous. But the wealth in his hands is pitiful.
The reason for this, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Qing Emperor's strategy of dividing Mongolia is good, hundreds of princes divided Mongolia, many real power princes, and they are barely regarded as big landlords in the Central Plains, and the power is not small, but the wealth in their hands and the income of the industry are not much stronger than some big landlords.
There is another opportunity, that is, the glory and noble bloodline of the ancestors hanging on the mouths of the Mongolian kings, the glory and noble bloodline of the ancestors, to put it bluntly, are all derived from military exploits.
Looking for Zaiyuan, Yang Meng roughly said the meaning of going west to the north, and sent him to test the Mongol kings, of course, such a temptation can only be carried out at the bottom, and it will be at the top at once, and it is easy to be misunderstood, isn't it?
There are not many means of secrecy in the Rehe Palace, and soon gossip like this began to circulate among the Mongolian princes, and the news involved Prince Yi Zaiyuan of the imperial court and some Mongolian kings who did not enter the stream, but there must be a reason for the groundless, and such news also attracted a lot of attention.
What is Zaiyuan, most Mongolian kings are clear, although the prince of the court is noble, but there is no real power in his hands, if it is more than the real power in his hands, a solid mountain Belle in Mongolia may also be greater than the prince of the court, the prince of the court has no real power, and the minister Yang Guogong has become the guest of many Mongolian kings with a heart.
The martial arts of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty have long been spread to the grassland, and the news of the early fiasco of the horse team of Monk Gelinqin and the later victory has also reached the ears of the Mongolian kings.
The opening of the Mongolian kings is of course what Yang Meng wants, but the current situation still owes a fire, even if there is a war with Tsarist Russia, it is Tsarist Russia itself that provokes disputes, and the hat of aggression is not so easy to wear.
For the request of the Mongolian kings, Yang Meng only smiled and said nothing, the only exception was to unload more than 1,000 long and short muskets from the train, the types of muskets were mixed, there were firearms of the British and French armies, and there were also firearms used by the new armies such as Colt and Dresser, these were the objects that Yang Meng wanted to promote his military exploits, and it was not impossible to give them to the Mongolian kings.
The Mongolian kings are not meat heads, during this time they also probed on the status of this Yang Guogong in the imperial court, and the results are very impressive, the status of this prince of the country is much higher than that of the prince, and the extremely human minister is afraid that it is not enough to explain his identity, in the words of the Han people, this prince of the country is now the storage of ten thousand people under one person in the Qing Dynasty.
Yang Meng gave the Mongolian kings a batch of muskets, and the Mongolian kings were not stingy, of course, they didn't have much money, but there were a lot of women, more than 1,000 muskets were sent out, and Yang Meng also had more than 20 Mongolian women in his hands, these are all women of appropriate age who were selected by the draft, and behind these 20 Mongolian women, there are more than 20 Mongolian princes with real power in the army, and the five khans are also among them, and they can't refuse if they want to!
Sending women, the Mongolian kings are not without purpose, this Yang Guogong's physique is much better than most Mongolian strong men, and the power in his hands is also monstrous, the war in the Qing Dynasty, this country prince can be decided, with such a foundation, even the five great khans have to bow their heads in the face of Yang Meng, if they can get in touch with such a powerful minister, participating in the war, it is not a difficult thing for Mongolia, if you know this, the woman dedicated to the emperor should be kept.
In the face of the eager Mongolian kings, Yang Meng took out the four-color stick to block the emperor, although the attitude of the Mongolian kings was eager, but who knows if they want to participate in the war or strengthen their strength? Something. It's still necessary to plan in detail.
Probably talked to the Mongol kings. Yang Meng felt that he would organize a large army led by the Mongol kings to expedition to Mongolia and the northwest. It's not impossible, as long as you can break up the men and horses guarding the frontier of Tsarist Russia at the beginning, even if you are a wreck, you will know that you can take advantage.
After staying in Rehe for about a month, Yang Meng returned to Beijing in the name of a request, and the area around Beijing and Tianjin was still calm, but Yang Meng knew that such a calm period would not be long, and there would be another month, the means of Britain, France and Russia. It's time to find out.
"Commander, how are the preparations in Yunnan?"
"All the people are ready, just waiting for the order of the third master!"
"Then pull it out! What are the plans on the Mongolian side? ”
"Referring to the Eight Kings Discussion in the early Qing Dynasty, we got a Seven Kings Regent, the two kings of the legal domain, the two Khans of Outer Mongolia and one prince, and the two princes of Inner Mongolia, who were in charge of Mongolian government affairs.
As for the army, in addition to the original guards of the Mongol kings, if the Mongol kings wanted to choose ordinary herdsmen to join the army, they chose one. Three herdsmen of the same age and fitness in the imperial court must be enlisted, otherwise they will not be allowed to conscript. Of course, the salaries of these additional Mongol soldiers were borne by the imperial court.
The armies of the Mongol kings can only be led by their respective princes, and no other generals can be appointed, so that the chances of the Mongol kings dying in battle are very high.
The proceeds of plundering are also according to the method of eighths, we account for the majority of the property, they account for the majority of the land, and the guns given by the court to the Mongol kings must be deducted from the previous plunder. ”
Xu Ziwei's method sounds good, but the seven kings of the regent, except for the two kings of the jurisdiction, Yang Meng can't control it, which is also a huge hidden danger.
"Chief, the five Mongol kings of the regent are a trouble!"
The Yang family started by conspiracy, such an obvious loophole, Yang Meng could not ignore it, but Xu Ziwei's reaction was a bit child's play, this live monkey actually laughed.
"Third master, murder and arson gold belt, wealth is moving! Once the Mongol kings who led the troops made a fortune outside, could the five regent kings still sit still?
Why did the regent of the Seven Kings add the two kings of the jurisdiction? Mongolia also worships Buddha, let the two kings of the jurisdiction regent, the Mongolian kings should be at ease, when the time comes, the Mongolian kings have gone out, Mongolia is not our final say?
Tsarist Russia is not a meat head, the Mongolian kings want to make contributions in Tsarist Russia, this man is not successful, they levy a soldier, they have to give the court three soldiers, these three soldiers, let's divide two more to them, Tsarist Russia bloody war is indispensable, so the Mongolian kings in the steppe of the people's hearts are lost, our many means are used, are you still worried about Mongolia not returning?
When the Mongolian kings are almost dead, the Tsarist side should almost be exhausted, and then let the new army give the last blow to Tsarist Russia, the Mongolian kings are out of the fortress in vain, and they should also kill some, and the Mongolian steppe is boiling with resentment, and some Mongolian princes should also be killed, so how many Mongolian kings can be left? ”
Xu Ziwei's strategy was also born out of Yang Meng's strategy to deal with the Qing Dynasty.
"Hmmm! Not bad! Hide these things, sort out an excerpt, try to have no loopholes to check, the excerpt is in the name of the Mongol kings, this is the evidence of the future!
Get it for me immediately, Lao Tzu wants to enter the palace! ”
As soon as he walked out of the signing room with Xu Ziwei's excerpt, Yang Meng was stopped by Liu Yitie from the medical hall.
"Liu Yiti, why are you here? Is something wrong in Yunnan? ”
Liu Yitie is the mastermind of the medical hall, and when he saw Liu Yitie Yang Meng's heart, he 'groaned', but there was no epidemic in Yunnan.
"Yunnan is good! Third master, I heard that you got more than 50 Mongolian women this time, but do you want to use it alone? ”
Because he was a medical officer, Liu Yitian spoke more directly, and when he heard this, Yang Meng also had a headache, more than fifty! It's really deadly.
"Hmm!"
Yang Meng responded sullenly, and the expression on Liu Yiti's face was much more exciting.
"It's worthy of the third master, this number is a bit much, the third master should be a little restrained! There are medicines to support up to five women a day, otherwise it will be a loss of longevity, the third master is an heir, and the medical hall will send a few gynecological holy hands over. ”
Yang Meng is looking for the deep meaning of so many Mongolian women, Liu Yitie has heard from Xu Ziwei, with the experience of the four-color stick, Xu Ziwei and others naturally don't want their third master to die early on the woman's belly, Liu Yitie is here, specifically for this matter.
"Got it! Three daughters a day! This year, you must let these fifty or so get pregnant, it is a matter of importance, and your manpower must be more appropriate. ”
Bloodline is very important to Mongolia, those Mongolian women are pitiful, why not Yang Meng?
After finishing this stubble, Yang Meng went directly into the palace, for the Mongolian women, this day is quite unhappy, the emperor's words, they became Yang Guogong's exclusive, they thought of being concubines, how could they think that they would become goods when they entered the imperial city?
As for the matter of the regency of the Seven Kings, the four-colored stick also agreed after looking at it, Mongolia's territory is too big, and it is best to trap the regent's Mongolian king in Rehe, and as for the matter of sending troops, it is also very good, this is a good way to dissipate Mongolia's combat strength.
