Dominate the Country

Hailancha's face turned green and red, and he felt uncomfortable holding it back, as if a pressure cooker with too much pressure was about to explode.

But the person standing in front of him was Yongxun. When he saw the veins on Hailancha's neck and forehead, he stiffened his neck and refused to reply. Yongxun glared at Hailancha sternly, his eyes like sparks shooting out!

"Slave..., obey your order!"

Hailancha finally gave in, because he knew that what Yongxun said might not be a ridiculous conjecture. And nine times out of ten, this was Chen Ni's plan. But it was also because of this that he felt even more aggrieved.

Part of this anger was directed at Yongxun, but reality forced him to bow his head.

Striding out of the palace gate, Hailancha gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, and he looked like an enraged lion.

He roared and vented his anger.

I want to burst into tears because I feel so aggrieved.

He wanted to go crazy for a while, because he was going crazy.

The roaring sound rolled like thunder and spread far and wide. His whole body seemed to be on fire, and the surrounding air was ignited. His pent-up anger erupted like a volcano, and the anger and pain contained in his roar sounded like it was about to tear your heart out.

On the eve of his departure, Yongxun issued almost the same order to Hailancha, the commander of the Qing army, as he had given Agui. He was to abandon the miscellaneous soldiers when necessary and only needed to keep the Eight Banners New Army and part of the cavalry. Because he could feel the desire to 'fight again' from the offensive posture of the Fuhan Army. It was not like the Fuhan Army came specifically to save the Han people, but more like they wanted to fight first.

No matter how despicable or despicable something is, once you do it once, you won't feel burdened if you do it a second time. Even though almost all of the tens of thousands of Qing troops in Chengde are Eight Banners, they can still be abandoned when the time comes. There is no turning back for Yongxun. Now if he wants to ensure the peace of the Northeast in a short period of time, he must cut his flesh again. When the Fuhan Army thinks that he is no longer a threat, Yongxun can live a comfortable life for a few days. . Otherwise, he will be Yong Rong's scapegoat!

Don't think that Yongxun has only suffered humiliation at the hands of Chen Ming these days. Several people in Chengde don't know that the cavalry from the Xilingol League, Ulanqab League, and Yikezhao League have escaped. Although the number of Mongolian cavalry in these three areas is not large, what does this mean? Are Manmeng going to split up?

There are also people from the Chahar League and Tumote. Another group of Fuhan troops captured Xuanhua, and news came that the people of the Chahar League and Tumote could no longer stay in Chengde. But they were still kind and gave Yongxun a chance to issue an order instead of running away on his own like the other three alliances. Both of these Mongols were completely deprived of their flag rights by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They can be said to be the successful products of the grassland version of "returning the land to the locals".

The departure of these Mongolian cavalry did not significantly weaken Chengde's military strength, but it caused the Qing army's already low morale to drop to the point of complete decline. It also greatly stimulated Yongxun's character!

Chengde was not a good place for the Qing army to fight, but the Qing army had to fight this battle because the Eight Banners immigrants who moved to the northeast were far from their destination. No matter what method the Qing army uses, they must contain the Fuhan army in Chengde to buy time for the transfer of the Eight Banners.

However, at this time, Chen Ming did not need to worry about the war situation in Chengde and Xuanhua. The thing he had to deal with was not the complicated and trivial matters of the people who were returning to their hometowns one after another, but a lawsuit coming from Nanjing.

Chen Hui's method was very effective. Once the land bonds were sold, the Fuhan Army's increasingly depleted treasury directly lost a lot of gold and silver. Not only the wealthy businessmen of the business gangs waved their checks to purchase bundles of land bonds, but ordinary people also donated generously.

The fact that the land price in the Northeast is too cheap is one aspect, the people's desire for land is another aspect, and the last is the support of the people under the rule for Chen Han. Everyone knows why the Fuhan Army did this. There was not enough money in the treasury to fight the war.

The common people are people who know good and bad, and their lives under the Fuhan Army were much better than those under the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The use of silver dollars to purchase land bonds was their support for the Fuhan Army.

A large amount of gold and silver flowed into the national treasury, and the amount was much higher than the original budget, and this did not include Shanxi's gains. According to Chen Erbao's report, the wealthy businessmen in Shanxi Shanxi Province have already subscribed for 10 million taels of silver and were able to raise more than 4 million taels of silver in the first year. There are no statistics on the small and medium-sized Shanxi merchants and landowners, but they must be The bank will not be disappointed.

The Fuhan Army's books were tens of millions more silver dollars than the original plan. This piece of fat meat immediately attracted people from both the military and political parties to tear it apart.

On the civil service side, the Ministry of Culture and Education hopes to have extra funds to open more primary schools; on the water conservancy side, money is needed to strengthen the embankments of the Yellow River and prevent floods; of course, the transportation department is paving roads and building bridges...

And what about in the army? Building ships requires money, and fighting wars requires money even more. With the money, they can not only raid Sichuan and Shanxi this year, they can also raid Yunnan. Moreover, the military industry department has developed a fairly good hydraulic drilling machine, which has brought the Fuhan Army's musket manufacturing to a new level. Including the rifled guns and Mini bullets that have been repeatedly manufactured by the Fuhan Army n times!

The success of the development of this drilling machine has made the cost and time of the Fu Han Army to manufacture rifled guns plummet. In the eyes of many senior military officials, this is God's help to Chen Han. The drilling machine appeared at such a time. With the cross-era weapon of the Minié gun, it is completely easy to sweep the Mengjiang area.

So what if there are more cavalry? You can shoot people down from hundreds of meters away.

This kind of firearm is completely a magical weapon. Therefore, the members of the drilling machine research team who solved the problem of the difficulty of manufacturing the "magic weapon", a total of seven people, won the first gold medal of loyalty and diligence in the history of the military industry system, and also shared a total of 150,000 silver yuan in the grand prize. The richness of the bonus made everyone's eyes hot!

In addition, it is mercury plus nitric acid. There is no need to say more about the former, and the latter can be obtained by dry distillation of saltpeter [dry distillation of gallstones (alum) to obtain sulfuric acid, and then with saltpeter, Xiaobai in the book]. As a man who has read n historical time-travel novels, Chen Ming is too stupid if he still doesn't know how to make it.

So **** is not a big discovery, and Chen Ming will not give himself a medal.

With ****, firing rifles is no longer a difficult task.

Will it feel super "exciting"? The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Fu Han Army have not been fully equipped with flintlock rifles, but the arsenal has already lit up firing rifles and Minié rifles. With ****, Chen Ming can even light up the breech-loading needle-percussion rifle!

Before fighting with the Western world, the Minié rifle must not be exposed. But the confidentiality level of the firing rifle is not so high. It is the next batch of main combat rifles to be equipped by the Fu Han Army. Although the manufacturing speed is quite slow, and it will be injured and disabled from time to time, and people will die, the things that touch the chemical side are really too that. Small-scale production is okay, but mass production is too dangerous, and storage is also high-risk. Chen Ming can't do industrial production of nitric acid at all. Fortunately, the amount required for each percussion cap is also very small, although the percussion cap itself needs to be made of copper.

It is a very sensitive thing! It reacts with copper to generate alkaline copper, making it more sensitive. You can also add oil, fat or paraffin to make it passivated.

Anyway, these things are in the reserve slowly. But there is no doubt that the military attaches great importance to these. Now that they see the extra silver, of course they want to take it back for military expenses, and produce more rifles and Minié bullets (this weird name) and ****.

The lawsuit went directly to Chen Ming. Behind them stood an important figure of Chen Han, Chen Ming's old supporter, his second uncle Chen Cong, and the giant of the logistics department, his fifth cousin Chen Quan.

Chen Ming couldn't make a decision for a while, and sent a pigeon to send a letter to Chen Hui. He wanted to hear what his father said about this matter first.

The second was the report from Shanxi. The governor E Bao had no intention of fighting. Before the Fu Han army approached too far, E Bao fled with his men. Moreover, the Fan family of Jiexiu could not be caught, and the Fan family also fled to Shaanxi.

At the same time, there was a letter from Xuanhua. Zhangjia III sent his disciples to Zhangjiakou to seek peace with Chen Han.

The gifts were 500 sheep, 100 oxen, and 100 war horses.

It was a big gift.

What surprised Xuanhua even more was that Zhangjia III, one of the four great Hutuktu of Tantric Buddhism who had such a close relationship with the Qing Dynasty, not only did not share the hardships with the Qing Dynasty when it was in danger, but also kicked the Qing Dynasty hard.

The troops in Xuanhua did not dare to neglect it and immediately reported the news to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming could not help but stand up when he heard that Zhangjia III had run to Chahar with the cavalry of Xilin Gol, Ulanqab, and Ikh Zhao League.

Don't underestimate this Zhangjia Hutuktu. Even in the 21st century, this name is not known to people at all. He is neither a well-known character like Dalai Lama and Banchan Erdeni, nor is he the Jebtsundamba Hutuktu who was frequently beaten by the protagonist's subordinates in the time-travel novels in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. However, in Tantric Buddhism, Zhangjia Hutuktu is on par with Jebtsundamba Hutuktu, and his status is slightly inferior to the two in Tibet.

But the Zhangjia III in front of him entered Beijing at the age of eight, and has never left at the age of 57.

Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne. In this year, Lobsang Danjin in Qinghai rebelled. It is said that Youning Temple was one of the main anti-Qing strongholds, and the situation was chaotic. In the first year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng sent Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi to lead troops to quell the rebellion of Lobsang Danjin. Nian Gengyao adopted a high-pressure deterrence policy such as burning temples and slaughtering monks in the Mongolian and Tibetan areas of Gansu, Qinghai, and most of the Buddhist Tantric temples in Gansu and Qinghai were burned down. In addition to Tiantang Temple, 13 other temples in Huarui, including Huazang Temple, Shimen Temple, and Xiama Temple, were burned down. The Youning Temple and Taer Temple, the home temples of Zhangjia Hutuktu, were burned down on the charge of being "comrades in arms", and more than a thousand monks and laymen were killed. Before the war, Zhangjia III was taken by the monks of the temple to a cave in the dense forest in the upper reaches of the Haomen River for refuge. Emperor Yongzheng also ordered to find the third Zhangjia Hutuktu. Soon, Nian and Yue invited the third Zhangjia soul boy to Beijing.

Emperor Yongzheng asked Zhangjia III to study exoteric and esoteric Buddhism and doctrines, and ordered him to study with the fourth son Hongli (Emperor Qianlong) and other princes. Therefore, Zhangjia III not only had great attainments in Buddhism, but also formed a schoolmate friendship with Emperor Qianlong, who was six years older than him.

In the 10th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (at the age of 29), Zhangjia III was promoted to the position of Imperial Teacher. A grand ceremony was held in the palace, and Zhangjia Hutuktu gave Emperor Qianlong, his concubines, and the princes a Shengle empowerment. Therefore, Zhangjia and Emperor Qianlong had a very close relationship. Qianlong gave Zhangjia a dragon-carrying yellow sedan chair, dragon robe, and yellow dragon umbrella. He was exempted from kneeling and could sit on the same bed with the emperor. When he met the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Sixth Panchan could ride a sedan chair to the third step of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Zhangjia Hutuktu's sedan chair could reach the second step. It can be said that Zhangjia Hutuktu was the Hutuktu with the highest status in the Qianlong Dynasty. Even Danase, Panchan, and the political and religious leader of Outer Mongolia, Supreme Danba, also relied on Zhangjia's dealings with Emperor Qianlong in politics. Most of the princes and nobles in the six leagues of Inner Mongolia were disciples of Zhangjia III. Therefore, no one could underestimate Zhangjia III's influence in Inner Mongolia.

"This is the Hutuktu of the Tantric Buddhism!" Group interests are paramount. It is no longer an act of personal emotional manipulation.

Zhangjia III and the Qing Dynasty have been friends for almost fifty years, and Chen Ming has never moved Zhangjia III from a hostile position. He never expected that he would take the initiative to jump off the broken ship of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Ming certainly knew that this move would be of great benefit to Chen Han's current stability in Inner Mongolia, but he still despised Zhangjia III in his heart. Whether it was "individually" or "collectively", he felt that this guy had a problem with his character.

"Zhangjia III's conditions are very simple, everything is the same as the rules of the Qing Dynasty. The six alliances of Inner Mongolia expressed their submission to our dynasty, and tributes are indispensable every year, but the grassland still belongs to them. Our dynasty is like a yoke to them." Chen Han can still accept this condition in the short term.

What the Fu Han Army needs to do is to ensure the supply and demand of ironware, tea and salt on the grassland and open Zhangjiakou. This is very simple. Zhangjia III of the Six Leagues of Inner Mongolia was not sure that all the Mongols would submit to Chen Han. It was unlikely for Zhelimu and Sozhuotu in the east, as Khorchin in the middle was a staunch supporter of the Qing Dynasty. But he was very sure about the leagues in the west. He hoped that the Fu Han Army would immediately stop attacking Chahar Mongolia. Even when the Fu Han Army attacked the Qing Army in the northwest, he could let Qinghai Mongolia turn against the Qing Army.

Zhangjia III was even willing to act as a bridge between Chen Han and Jebtsundamba Hutuktu of Outer Mongolia, and Dalai and Banchan of Tibet. As long as Chen Han fulfilled his promise, he was willing to go to Beijing and Nanjing again.

In the 22nd year of Qianlong (1757), the Qing army conquered Dzungar again, but soon the Great Khoja Polonidu and the Small Khoja Khojizhan rebelled, and Tibet also sent away the Seventh Dalai. The news of the death reached Beijing. In compliance with the imperial decree, Zhangjia III, accompanied by a minister stationed in Tibet, two imperial doctors and several officials, entered Tibet via Kangding and other places to identify the reincarnation of the emperor. They arrived in Lhasa in December. In April of the following year, he went to Tashilhunpo Monastery in the rear Tibet to pay a visit to the Sixth Panchan Lobsang Huadan Yixi, and went to Natang to pay homage before returning to the front Tibet.

Now more than a decade has passed, and the Eighth Dalai Lama has grown up. Although he has not yet ruled the country, his influence and power in Tibet are definitely not comparable to that of a minister stationed in Tibet and hundreds of accompanying soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. The Sixth Panchan has a greater influence in Tibet. If Zhangjia III really makes a connection, it will have an extraordinary effect on the infiltration and stability of the Fu Han Army in Tibet, Qinghai and the entire Mongolia.

"Your Highness, this is God's help for me." Xiong Bingzhang was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up.

Even though Chen Ming still had some contempt for Zhangjia III in his heart, he personally felt that he should put it aside for major events. "It is indeed God's help." God helped Chen Ming. "But things can't be said so easily. Don't forget the reincarnation of the spirit boy." The "Golden Urn Drawing" system has not been established yet. The rules were not established until the late years of Emperor Qianlong. But forgive Chen Ming's ignorance. Apart from knowing these four words, he knows nothing about the "Twenty-Nine Articles of the Imperial Decree".

This matter needs to be discussed!

"You can temporarily follow the rules of the Qing Dynasty. The specific conditions will be conveyed to Nanjing." If Zhangjia III really came to Beijing, Chen Ming would send him to Nanjing immediately.
