Chapter 457: The Mongolian Civil War

In the 66th year of the Han Dynasty, when the monarchical coalition army of the European continent was marching into the city of Paris, the new army of more than 100,000 Han people of the Han Empire, with the help of Maxine heavy machine guns, defeated the main force of the last Huihui horse team that intended to be independent in Qinghai in a battle, completely subdued the resistance forces that swept away Gansu and Qinghai, broke the last barrier in Xinjiang, and entered the vast Xinjiang highlands!

At the same time, the Han Empire sent a diplomatic note to the Mongol kingdom, a client state, demanding that the Mongol kingdom fulfill its obligations as a vassal state and send people to participate in the suzerain's foreign reconquest war!

The vassal state of the Han Empire is not so easy to be, unlike the Manchu Empire and the former Ming Empire, the subject state only needs to pay tribute for nothing, and then grovel to express its reverence and yearning for the heavenly kingdom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The client states of the Han Empire not only had to hand over a part of their taxes to the suzerain, but also sent human resources to support the suzerain's foreign wars in wartime!

This point is clearly written in the peace treaty, however, Qianlong Lao'er does not care about this article, the obligation of the client state to the suzerainty is not to send troops, but also to send a large number of young and strong laborers to serve as the wartime labor coolies of the suzerain, just like in the history of the earth, during the First World War, China did not send troops to the European battlefield, but sent hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese to support the labor shortage of the European warring countries!

However, the Han Empire opened its mouth to the Mongol kingdom and raised as many as 100,000 young and strong laborers in one go!

How many people were there in the Kingdom of Mongolia?

100,000 at a time, and you must be young and strong!

This is digging into the foundation of the Mongols!

Of course, Emperor Qianlong doesn't care about it, these 100,000 people are from Mongolian herdsmen, and there is no relationship with the already sparse number of Eight Banners, to put it bluntly, in the Mongolian Kingdom under the rule of the Eight Banners, these 100,000 indicators will definitely not allow Qianlong Lao'er to choose among the children of the Eight Banners who are loyal to him, and it is impossible for the Eight Banners Janissaries to break their muscles and bones, and the last wool will inevitably come out of those local Mongolian princes!

The herdsmen of the Mongolian steppe have no real personal freedom, in fact, most of the herdsmen belong to the children of the Mongolian prince, to put it mildly, the herdsmen belong to the private property of the Mongolian prince!

Of course, there are some truly free civilians in the Mongolian steppes, but a small number of free people can't fill the huge gap of 100,000 young people!

If you want to meet the gap of 100,000 young people in the Han Empire, you must cut the meat from the Mongolian princes!

Herdsmen are regarded as the primary productive forces of the Mongolian steppe, and the herdsmen are young and strong, so naturally, the income and loyalty of the Mongolian princes are greatly reduced!

Whether it is for the economy or the military of the Mongol prince, it is a great weakening!

It is inevitable that the Mongolian princes are naturally very dissatisfied with Emperor Qianlong's approach!

Zhao Dutian of the Han Empire suddenly became full of humanity at this time, and he could reduce the number of young and strong laborers that the Mongolian kingdom needed to send from the vassal state, and only needed to replace it with the Eight Banners Janissary Guards!

These two Ten Thousand Eight Banner Praetorian Guards are cannon fodder to go to the battlefield!

At this moment, the Mongolian princes laughed, and Emperor Qianlong's face changed!

Fortunately, Zhao Dutian is not an unreasonable person, he knows that Emperor Qianlong must not be able to do this, the Eight Banners Praetorian Guard has a total of more than 30,000 people, which is the lifeblood of Emperor Qianlong......

Therefore, Zhao Dutian gave the Mongolian Kingdom two choices, one is to pay 100,000 real herdsmen to work with the army, as for how long it will be returned, it depends on when the Han Empire does not want to fight......

The second is to let the Mongolian Kingdom draw at least 20,000 soldiers from the regular elite (Eight Banners Praetorian Guard) to cooperate with the Han Empire to fight abroad, and after the war, the surviving Eight Banners Janissaries will be returned, but the war will eventually kill people, and how much it will be returned depends on whether God gives Qianlong Lao'er face.

These two options seem reasonable, but they put the contradictions between Qianlong Lao'er and the Mongolian princes on the table!

The most terrible thing is that the Han Empire did not force the manpower of the Mongol Kingdom too much, but just put the conditions in front of them and let them choose for themselves!

The Han Empire should train and train its troops, and it should beat Xinjiang and beat Xinjiang, without delay at all......

However, Zhao Dutian did not urge the Mongol Kingdom, it does not mean that they can escape this catastrophe, the oppressive force of the Han Empire hangs over the head of the Mongol Kingdom all the time, if they do not make obligations according to the treaty of the client state, the Han Empire has every reason to bulldoze them!

On the surface, the Han Empire let the Mongol Kingdom choose one of the two and put pressure on Emperor Qianlong, asking him to quickly pull out 100,000 herdsmen to assist the Han Empire in launching a war.

Otherwise, pull out the Eight Banners Praetorian Guard and throw 20,000 people into the battlefield!

It's just that, secretly, those Mongolian princes have received a promise from the Han Empire, as long as they overthrow the rule of Qianlong Lao'er, the Han Empire will not pursue the war obligations of the client states, and will protect them and maintain the property safety of the Mongolian princes, the only thing they need is the allegiance of the Mongolian princes!

For the Mongol princes, it is undoubtedly better to be loyal to the huge Han Empire and retain their property and semi-independent situation by the way than to follow the precarious Qianlong Lao'er!

What's more, there are also flintlock pistols and smoothbore cannons that the Han Empire secretly sold one after another!

For their own interests, these Mongolian princes finally caught fire with the Eight Banners Janissaries who came to forcibly pull people in the late 66th year of the Han Dynasty!

Since then, the civil war in the Mongol Kingdom has completely broken out under the instigation of the Han Empire!

Zhao Dutian was very satisfied with his attempt, but the result of the Mongolian civil war made Zhao Dutian dumbfounded......

The Mongolian princes, who had an advantage in numbers, territory, resources, and even weapons, were knocked out by the few Eight Banner Guards, one after another, like whack-a-mole!

Although the soldiers of the Mongol princes were given flintlock pistols and smoothbore cannons, their will to fight and their understanding of modern military operations were not at all comparable to the Eight Banners Janissaries who had been educated by the Han army through repeated defeats!

The skinny grassroots officers in the Eight Banners Praetorian Guard are all veterans who have experienced the baptism of fire of the Han army, and it is really not difficult to deal with the backward army under a group of Mongolian princes, coupled with the high morale of the soldiers of the Eight Banners......
