In December 1793, the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

Naturalized outside the city.

The wind is cold.

However, snow has not yet begun to fall this year, and the withered grass has turned the grassland a miserable gray.

On the endless gray grassland, flags of all colors are honking in the cold wind.

It can be seen from the flag.

In addition to the eight flags of the eight banners of Mongolia, there are also 16 and 49 banners of Monan.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia and Monan Mongolia were the internal feudal barriers on which the Qing court relied heavily.

The Mongolian Eight Banners are basically not much different from the Manchurian Eight Banners, and the bannermen from the Mongolian Eight Banners can also be in high positions and get more opportunities than the Han Chinese.

In addition to the sixteen and forty-nine banners of southern Mongolia.

The banners of the four Chechen Khans, Tushetu Khans, Zasaktu Khans, and Saiyin Noyan are also among them.

Among them, there are 20,000 cavalry in the Eight Banners Mongolia, 50,000 cavalry in Southern Mongolia, and 30,000 cavalry in Northern Mongolia!

That's 100,000 Mongol soldiers.

In the time of Genghis Khan, 100,000 Mongol cavalry was enough to fight from Liaodong to the Aegean coast.

But at this time.

Chechen Khan Tsiwang Dorji, Tushetu Khan Minjur Dorji, Zasaktu Khan Buniratna.

and the four leaders of the Khalkha Mongols in Mobei, Lawang Dorji, who did not have a khan throne but was canonized as the Prince of Chaoyong by the Qing court, and the Zasaks of the 49th Banner of Monan, all rode behind Emperor Qianlong and were reviewing the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers pulled out of Beijing not long ago.

Muskets and artillery roared, and the Mongolian Eight Banners imitated the dragoons of the Ming army to form rangers equipped with a large number of muskets, as well as the heavy armored cavalry of the Manchurian Eight Banners, especially the infantry formation of the Manchurian Eight Banners equipped with a large number of mortar cannons and field artillery.

Under a rehearsal.

This big array is like a forest, and the firearms are like fire, and these Mongols, who have never seen the world, and at the same time have been taught by the Yellow Sect to be less fierce than in the time of Genghis Khan, are seen and feared in their hearts.

"How? Can I see my army? ”

Qianlong Zhi turned his head proudly and looked at the four Khalkha Mongolian leaders.

Several people smiled and complimented.

"The Great Emperor is invincible!"

"With such a heavenly soldier, how can this Han emperor be able to defeat him?"

"It's really the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldier!"

Hearing the compliments of several people, the smile on Qianlong's face did not decrease.

But there was a sigh in my heart.

Compared to before.

The current Eight Banners are indeed very good.

Under the threat of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, these children of the Eight Banners in Beijing did not dare to pick on them casually.

I can also endure a little bitterness.

The queue is also in shape.

Even more critical.

Under the guidance of craftsmen sent by Britain, Asbania and other countries, the Qing Dynasty was also able to produce flintlock pistols, field artillery, as well as advanced weapons and equipment such as granular black powder and wooden pallets.

With a large number of small-aperture mortars and field artillery armament.

The current Eight Banners is no longer the pursuit of any bow and horse skillful hand-to-hand combat skills.

Rather, it is necessary to pursue a neat queue, and the practice is not to shoot arrows on horseback, but to load muskets between marches, and to cooperate with line infantry and artillery.

Such an army of the Eight Banners, which has completed the reform of new weapons, can have the strength to fight even in the face of their ancestors.

But now they need to face the Ming army, whose muskets and artillery are far sharper than them.

In addition, the current Eight Banners, from Qianlong to the general military officers below, basically have "phobia".

With such a decent-looking army to fight the Ming army, even Qianlong himself had little confidence.

But pulling it out to the grassland to scare and scare Mongolian buns that have never seen anything in the world is still very useful.

This can be seen from the equipment of both sides.

The Mongols still hold bows and arrows from hundreds of years ago, and their archery skills are not as good as those of the Mongols of Genghis Khan's time.

The days of bows and arrows and scimitars are over.

Not to mention the Mongol tribes that are now divided into pieces by the Qing court.

Even if there is another Great Khan in Mongolia now, he will unify the Mongolian tribes.

The Mongol warriors, armed with bows and arrows and scimitars, were no match for muskets and artillery.

What's more.

Just look at the appearance of the three Khans and one Zasak of Nakhalkha.

The Mongols today no longer have the prowess of their ancestors - have you ever seen Genghis Khan's sons and grandchildren like these sons and daughters?

"It's a pity, now is not the era when the prairie boy can dominate the world with bows and arrows and scimitars, but now is the era of muskets and artillery."

Qianlong was wearing yellow armor and an iron helmet on his head.

Strangled the war horse with one hand.

The waist bar is very straight.

Looks quite spiritual.

Of course, this is for these Mongols.

"If you want to compare muskets and artillery, how can the grassland compare with the Central Plains?" Qianlong turned his head to look at the leaders of the four Khalkha tribes and said.

"This great emperor, this Han people have regained power, so what should we do?"

It was Prince Chaoyong who spoke, Saiyin Noyan Department Zahakra Wangdorji.

Although it is said that there is no Khan king in the Saiyin Noyan Division, its Zasak has a close relationship with the Qing court, and it can be regarded as the sand mixed by the Qing court in Khalkha Mongolia.

Lavan Dorji himself was the forehead of Qianlong's daughter, Gulun and Princess Jing.

In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, Lawang Dorji's grandfather Celing died, and his grandfather Chaoyong Prince Jue was attacked.

Qianlong was awarded the Minister of Internal Guard for 40 years, and served as Qianlong's guard and security manager in the Forbidden City for more than ten years.

It can be said that he is one of Qianlong's most trusted Mongolian ministers.

However, although Lavandorji is the Prince of Chaoyong, he is actually very cowardly, and he does not dare to anger Qianlong at all, and he does not discount Qianlong's orders.

Now that the master and servant are singing and harmonizing, it is obvious that they have already done rehearsals.

"Manchu and Mongolia are one, there are hundreds of millions of Han people in the world, how many of us are in the Manchu and Mongolian tribes? If you don't unite sincerely, I'm afraid that the Han people will come to sweep the grassland again in the future and seal the wolf. Qianlong shook his head and said.

"The Han people have heroes born every few hundred years, but the heroes of the Han people are a great disaster for our grassland tribes, not to mention, the former Ming blue jade fishing sea hit the Yuan Emperor hard, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di also swept the north several times, only to fight the Mongolian tribes had to flee far away." Ravandorji said with a sigh.

"Now the Ming Dynasty has been restored again, this time . The Han people, who have the most powerful muskets and artillery in the world, I am afraid that they can really exterminate the Manchu and Mongolian people! ”

Qianlong looked up at the sky and sighed.

This is not just to scare the other three Khalkhakhans.

It's that he really has such worries.

Qianlong was actually quite a clever monarch.

Under his rule, the Eight Banners, which had been decayed to a certain extent, recovered a lot, at least the Qianlong Dynasty could still send the Eight Banners to fight - in fact, in the middle and late Kangxi period, the Eight Banners were almost impossible to fight.

Qianlong was able to restore the ability of the Eight Banners to fight by throwing money.

It's actually quite remarkable.

And he also sees the general trend of the world very accurately.

Pen pal Louis was publicly performed after the decapitation.

He immediately realized the danger of the various ideas that were floating in Europe to the rule of the Manchus, and immediately strengthened the control of the border gates and the prison of writing as never before, and suppressed the thinking of the Han people more severely.

From the perspective of the Manchus.

This Qianlong Lord is really a wise lord.

And in this case, it is not easy for him to pull out an army that relies on the Eight Banners to scare the Mongols on the steppe.

Really.

was frightened by Qianlong and Lavandol's master and servant.

Cold sweat began to flow from the foreheads of the three Khalkhakhans.

Extermination.

It's scary.

The Eight Banners Heavenly Soldier in front of him was already so terrifying.

How terrible should the Ming army that even the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers can't defeat should be?

It seems that the thighs of the Qing Dynasty are no longer thick enough.

Is it too late to hug Daming's thighs now?

It is different from Monan, which is almost completely controlled.

The Khalkha Three Khans still have considerable autonomy and strength.

The combined forces of the three can pull out more than 30,000 cavalry.

The strength is still there.

And

It is not the Khalkha Mongols who offend the Han people and offend too hard.

It's all of you, plus the Horqin Department at most.

The rest of us Mongols are innocent.

We are honest herdsmen who graze on the grassland, and we usually just pay tribute to the Buddhas.

They are all good Mongolians who believe in Buddhism.

It's different from you Manchus who bully Han Chinese.

The Ming Emperor is so wise, he must know it.

And the Mongols were very fierce and fierce hundreds of years ago, not to mention that the Han people also took revenge back then - Zhu Di was so fierce back then, he basically emptied Monan, and there were not many people killed in the Mongolian tribes.

The deep hatred of the year is clear.

Now Da Ming is up again.

This time, apart from Korqin, the other Mongols did not benefit much.

Surely they will not be exterminated.

But he definitely didn't dare to say this in front of Qianlong.

Although the three Khalkha Khans all considered themselves honest and good Mongols.

But they also have a heart, and they definitely won't be so stupid.

Seeing the three honest Khan kings with heart, they didn't say a word.

Qianlong snorted coldly in his heart.

Fortunately, before they went to contact the Ming Dynasty, they were transferred to the Naturalized City Alliance.

Otherwise, these three sweats will definitely go to the wall.

Now that the Three Khans are here, they must not be able to return to Mobei casually.

This is a top priority related to whether the Qing Dynasty can retain the rivers and mountains outside the Guan.

"So now we all have to unite in Manchuria! Only by uniting can we find our way to live! ”

"Emperor, how are we going to unite?"

Lavandolzi is certainly a good one.

"Naturally, it's going to be a big eight banners!"

"Big Eight Banners?"

The three khans looked at each other.

"Great Emperor, what is the Great Eight Banners?"

Chechen Khan Tsiwang Dorzi asked cautiously.

"Naturally, we want to completely integrate Manchu and Mongolia, I want to merge the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and form the Great Eight Banners that are not divided into Manchu and Mongolia, and at the same time recruit warriors in the south and north of the Mobei to enrich the Great Eight Banners, and in the future, the Mongolian banners Zasak and the Khan kings will not have to worry about the war, just concentrate on grazing, and let the Great Eight Banners be fully responsible for the war."

Qianlong said.

This is actually a copy of the "flag general Han soldier" in Han land.

It's just a replacement of Han soldiers with Mongol soldiers.

Originally, the Monan Banners and the Khalkha Mongol tribes all had the right to lead troops.

And now Qianlong wants to directly recruit herdsmen as soldiers in the south and north of the desert, and reduce the power of the four leaders of the banners, Zasak and Khalkha.

At the same time, by absorbing the elite of the Mongolian tribes, it has become the Great Eight Banners that are not divided into Mongolia.

Completely control the warriors of the steppe.

And so it goes.

When Qianlong arrived on the grassland, he could also make a decision with one word, and he had about the same power as when the Han Dynasty was the emperor.

"What? You don't want to? ”

Qianlong saw the three khans stunned in place.

With a cold snort, Rawang Dorji and several Manchurian Baturu beside him had already put their hands on the hilt of the knife.

See this scenario.

How dare the three Khalkhans say no?

Immediately shouted that the emperor was wise.
