The night in Cullen was exceptionally cold, and the wind mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow blew on people's faces, as if they had been cut with a knife. A somewhat dilapidated carriage pulled out from behind the residence of the Khan of Tushetu Khan and slowly drove through the streets of Kulen City. After turning around, they stopped in front of the gate of the Huitong Warehouse in the west of the city. At this time, the exchange warehouse had already closed. In fact, because of the outbreak of the war, there was no business to be done now, and the same was true for the exchange store. Except for two guys and a shopkeeper, there was no one left.

Several men in thick coats, whose faces were covered inside, stepped out of the carriage. Three of them were standing in the street, and the other walked up to the door of the Huitong Warehouse and knocked on the door with a bang.

"Who!" The door opened, revealing the head of a young undergraduate.

"Little brother, we have something important to come to your shopkeeper!"

"Looking for the shopkeeper, wait a minute!" The young boy scratched his head, then closed the door.

A few minutes later, the door to the Huitong warehouse opened, and a middle-aged man in a leather coat stepped out of it.

"The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of Huitong, I don't know who you are?" The shopkeeper of the exchange asked hesitantly. He didn't know the man.

"I am the steward of the palace, and our prince is the one who wants to see you. Our prince is already waiting there! The butler said.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed drastically, and he was about to turn back and close the door. But. The butler stopped him in time.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, we have no malicious intentions!" The housekeeper hurriedly said. This time. After discovering the situation here, the Khan King of the Tushetu Khan, Chelin Dorji and others also hurriedly came over.

"Hello, this king is really someone who has something important to see you, rest assured, we have no malicious intent, this is Artashda, the Khan of the Chechen Khanate, and this is the Khan of the Zasaktu Khan, Chelin Duandob. We didn't bring the guards! Chelin Dolji said hurriedly.

"Alright, come in!" The shopkeeper hesitated. Then he said. He knew Chelin Dolji, and since the other party had already come to the door, he wanted to deny it now. That's not going to be possible. However, depending on the situation, these Mongolian princes did not seem to have malicious intent, so he made the decision to let them in.

Wait until a few people from Chelin Dorji enter the door. The young student who had opened the door before looked out the door. After making sure that no one was there, he closed the door.

"A few princes, who are you here this time?" The shopkeeper of Hui Tong asked calmly. After all, they are intelligence officers of the Empire's * Military Intelligence Agency, and once they are exposed, they know very well what it means, and if they don't do it well, their lives will be lost.

"We have something important to meet your person in charge!" King Chelindorzi Khan said sincerely.

"Okay. Three princes, come with me! The shopkeeper hesitated. Then he said.

"Okay, butler, you just stay outside!" King Chelindorzi Khan said. This time he had come to join the Chinese Empire, and he was not afraid of danger. If this is the case, then the Chinese Empire is not worth their refuge.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" King Chelindorzi Khan's steward nodded.

The three Mongolian princes followed the shopkeeper of Hui Tong to the backyard and came to a small hidden room. He knocked on the door, and a young voice came from inside. Subsequently, the door opened from the inside. A young face appeared in front of everyone.

"Old Zhou, what's going on? Who are they? The young man asked warily.

"Sir, these three are the Khan kings of the Mobei Mongolian tribes, and they have something important to come to you!" The shopkeeper of Hui Tong said.

"Ahh How many Khan kings? Come in! The young man was shocked, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.

A few Mongolian princes entered the room, the furnishings of the room were simple, a desk and a chair, plus a single bed, a coffee table and a few stools, and there was no other furniture.

After a few people sat down, Lao Zhou, the shopkeeper of Huitong, made a pot of hot tea, and then left the room, and he stood outside the door, just in case.

"Three princes, you have personally found it, you must know my identity! My name is Niu Zhiyang, Major of the Empire* Military Intelligence Directorate. Now in full charge of the affairs of the Empire* Military Intelligence Bureau in Mobei Mongolia! The young man said. He also has another identity, that is, the youngest son of the chief of the Imperial General Staff, General Niu Meng, who is only 21 years old this year. It's just that he is not willing to serve in the army or go to the government department, but is very interested in the intelligence front. Despite the danger of this front, Admiral Niu Meng could not resist his persuasion and agreed to join the Empire* Military Intelligence Bureau. Of course, within the Imperial * Military Intelligence Bureau, no one except the director, Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao, knew his true identity.

"Hello General Niu, this king is the Khan King of the Tushetu Khan Department and the Saiyin Noyan Department of Chelin Dorji, this is the Khan King Artashda of the Chechen Khan Department, and this is the Khan King of the Zasaktu Khan Department Chelin Duandob." King Chelindorzi Khan introduced.

"Hello, General Niu. Wasn't there a General Zheng before? Is he out of Cullen now? King Cherindolzi Khan then asked. He had previously been visited by Major Zheng Haisheng of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau.

"You're talking about Major Zheng Haisheng, right? He's already gone to Monan! Major Niu Zhiyang said with a smile. These Mongol princes braved such a heavy snow to come to him, and they must have a tendency to fall to the empire, which made him very excited. Young people? I always want to make a contribution, and it is the ministry that relies on the protection of my parents to make a contribution!

"Oh, that's right!" King Chelindorzi Khan was thoughtful.

"Three princes, you still know! Major Zheng Haisheng has successfully contacted the various departments of Monan. Tribes, including the Horqin tribe, the Xilin Gol tribe, the Ordos tribe, the Chahar tribe, the Zhuosuotu tribe, and the Ulanqab tribe, have all pledged allegiance to the empire. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor will win the women of these tribes as concubines after the end of the war! Major Niu Zhiyang said with a smile.

"What? This? How is this possible? King Chelindolzi Khan was in disbelief.

King Artashda Khan and King Chelin Duandob Khan were also stunned. Why did all the tribes of Southern Mongolia turn to the Chinese Empire in the blink of an eye? This situation is inevitably moving too fast!

"Rest assured, I can swear to God that I didn't lie to you!" Major Niu Zhiyang said.

"But, General Niu, we have just received an order from the imperial court, and after the beginning of spring next year, the imperial court will withdraw to the grassland. When the time comes, the Mongol tribes of Monan will also retreat to the steppe with them! King Cherindolzi Khan said.

"King Khan, this has long been clear to the Empire. This was nothing more than an attempt by Mongol to confuse the Manchu government. You'll know when next spring comes. When the time comes, the imperial army and the Mongol tribes of Monan should cooperate with the outside world and wipe out the Manchu Qing in one fell swoop! Major Niu Zhiyang said.

Looking at the confident Major Niu Zhiyang, King Chelin Dolji Khan and the others only felt a tingling of their scalps, the deployment of the Chinese Empire was really terrifying! Originally, the Manchu government wanted to retreat to the steppe and resist stubbornly. As a result, he did not expect that this was a trap set by the Chinese Empire. It is estimated that this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty is completely finished, and there will definitely be no more chances. At the same time, they were also a little apprehensive, but fortunately they had made a choice and were ready to take refuge in the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, with the support of Monan Mongols, Mobei Mongols wanted to resist the Chinese Empire, which was simply delusional. At that time, the entire Mongolian steppe will be occupied by the Chinese Empire, and any resistance will definitely not end well.

"Three princes, when you come to me this time, you must have made a choice! The Empire sincerely welcomes you to join the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor has said many times that all ethnic groups will be treated equally, and there will be absolutely no discrimination. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is already doomed, how to choose, you also know it in your hearts! Major Niu Zhiyang said.

"General Niu, we've already thought about it. It is inevitable that the Chinese Empire will replace the Qing Dynasty, and we are not willing to go against the sky. Therefore, the three of us represent the four tribes of Mobei Mongolia and pledge allegiance to the empire! King Cherindolzi Khan said.

The other two Khan kings also nodded their heads one after another. In fact, they had already made their choice when they decided to come to the people of the Imperial * Military Intelligence Directorate. Now after learning that Monan Mongolia had betrayed the Manchus, they were very glad for their choice.

"Haha, yes, that's great! Three princes, we are villains first and then gentlemen. This is a letter of allegiance, please sign it! Major Niu Zhiyang was overjoyed, then took out a three-point allegiance letter from the drawer of the table and handed it to the three Mongolian princes.

The three Mongolian princes looked at each other, but none of them started writing first. They knew that in order to convince the Chinese Empire that they were genuine, they had to sign a letter of allegiance. However, once signed, it means that they will never go back.

"General Niu, the Russian Consul General in Kulen, Maxim, said that after the beginning of spring, the Russians will have hundreds of thousands of troops rushing to the Far East. When the time comes, will the Empire be able to defeat them? King Chelindorzi Khan said with some concern.

"Rest assured, the Empire will not fight unprepared battles. After the fall of the Manchus, the empire would have a decisive battle with the Russians. Our army, also ready, can definitely defeat the Russians! (To be continued......)
