Chapter 87: Grange Keeper
Whether it was Asha or Kang Xiaozi himself, the reason why they were willing to attack Kanto was because Kang Xiaozi knew some Manchu language.
Only the Kang family was his coat slave and had done his pen and posts, so they naturally understood some Manchu language.
Kang Xiaozi's family origins, and after Truqin's founding country, everyone must know one or several other languages except their own mother tongue. Manchu became the only choice for Kang Xiaozi and Kang Xiaozhong brothers.
Although there are not many Manchus at this time, especially Manchus in the Pass, who know Manchus, they are obviously different outside the Pass.
In addition, he is forty years old this year, and his appearance is similar to that of General Shengjing Qinggui, the deputy commander of the Bayala Guardian Army, Hurha, which is very suitable for his brigade to play the role of a surprise attack on Kanto.
After careful discussion, Kang Xiaozi decided to cross the Bohai Bay by boat and go straight to Tianzhuangtai at the Liaohekou.
Then go ashore from Tianzhuang Taiwan Port and go straight to Shengjing along the Liaohe River.
As the intelligence manager of Gyeonggi and Kanto, Yuan Yingtan naturally followed him, and he dressed up as Hurha's pen and post.
With the military uniforms, seals and flags of the Eight Banners outside the Pass, a group of 3,000 people boarded Zhuang Jiyun's ship and drove into the Bohai Sea and headed straight to the Liaohe River outlet.
Since the Truqin army has blocked the Bohai Sea coast, no one will know their actions. Even if they know, they will only think that they are heading to Jeju Island.
"Governor"
On the flagship Bogda, Yuan Yingtan is reporting the situation in Liaodong to Kang Xiaozi.
"After the Qing people entered the pass, they sealed the entire Northeast region, preventing ordinary Han people from entering, and also built the so-called Willow Border. After they took power, most of the Manchus followed suit, resulting in a very small number of true descendants of the Jianzhou Jurchens left outside the pass."
"But in the northeast and east, there are still vast places, and there are also some tribes that generally speak Jurchen. The Manchus called the east side the Jurchen Jurchen, the north side the Jurchen, and the ones sandwiched between them were called the Sorens"
"Their languages are similar anyway"
"The Qing court set up Fengtian Prefecture here, with General Shengjing and General Fengtian Prefecture. Nowadays, General Shengjing Prefecture Qinggui was captured by our army. The part of guarding the entire Fengtian Prefecture is obviously the General Fengtian Prefecture."
"Since Qianlong came to power, the prefect of Fengtian Prefecture has been the exclusive position of Manchu people. The current person named Bo Qin'er and is also a Manchu Jinshi. He also holds the position of deputy governor of Fengtian Prefecture. Although Manchu people in the Qing Dynasty are superior to others, their civil servants are still both civil and military, which is different from the requirements for the Han people."
"Now, the entire Fengtian Prefecture is estimated to have a population of more than 100,000, less than 800,000 people. Jilin and Heilongjiang are even more sparsely populated, with an estimated population of less than 100,000 people"
"After the Qing nobles entered the pass, they would naturally move all the Han people who farmed for them, and Korean Aha slaves who all wanted to enjoy the world of flowers in the pass. Who would like to continue to stay in the bitter and cold place?"
"But the Longxing land outside the pass cannot be abandoned like this, and someone needs to protect and govern, so they stared at the East China Sea Jurchens and the Savage Jurchens who spoke roughly the same language"
"For the big tribes who marry the princess, of course, they spent a lot of money at the beginning, and the daughter of the imperial concubine, Heshuo Princess, can marry. Now, the Qing Dynasty is so powerful that most of the people who marry are royal women below Gushan Princess, and some are even just daughters of Manchu ministers."
"The guards of the places are also the Xinna East China Sea Jurchens, the savage Jurchens, who compiled them into Niulu, which is the auxiliary leaders in the pass, and one Niulu recorded three hundred people. Naturally, these people do not need to farm. The descendants of Han criminals who kept sending them here to farm for them."
"Of course, there are still some Manchurian generals coming from within each larger city, and they are responsible for training these new Manchurians every now and then"
"The outside of the pass is bitter and cold, and most of the Manchus in the pass are unwilling to stay for too long, but it is quite good for the New Manchus, and they are also willing to guard the Qing court."
"Because of the vast land and sparse population, most of the farms in New Manchuria are located a hundred miles around the city, so that they can enter the city guards at any time"
"Often times, 300 of them need to be on duty in the city, just like our militia. In addition, if you want to do business outside the pass and purchase things, you must obtain the waist card of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of the affairs of the bannermen. Manchus are very close to the outside of the pass and have very few waist card issued to the outside world"
"My side was purchased from a Manchu businessman for a large price. If I didn't have this waist card, I would not be able to walk in Liaodong. Once I discovered, my family would be sent to three northeastern places as slaves of armored people. If an official and general commits a crime, he will still have a day to make a comeback"
"If ordinary people are there, they will be slaves there for generations"
"Of course, as a New Manchuria, there were too few Aha slaves. At this time, because the Qing people reproduced too quickly, many Shandong people secretly crossed the sea to farm here, and without exception they became slaves of New Manchuria. Although it was a bit humiliating for them, they could have enough food after all."
Kang Xiaozi nodded, "What about the city?"
"That is, Fengtian City, Liaoyang City is larger. The rest of them are not only small in cities, but also have few populations. Liaoyang City was the former governor of the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty. Fengtian City is the Kyoto occupied by the Manchus. The cities are quite large. However, Qinggui has taken away most of the Eight Banners soldiers from both places, and there are only a small number of troops left in the city."
"But if it gathers the new Manchuria around it, it still has some power"
"Governor, although our ships can enter the Liaohe River, they have too much noise. So the Ministry of Justice suggested taking the Tianzhuangtai at the exit of the Liaohe River, stopping the ships there, and then getting off the boat, riding horses and heading towards Shengjing along the official road."
"If we can win Tianzhuang Taiwan Port with the lightning momentum and prevent the news from leaking out, we will be half successful"
"Tianzhuangtai is not only a must-pass place for buying ginseng, animal skins and Dongzhu in and out of the northeast, but also a must-pass place for Koreans to come to pay tribute. Nowadays, there is a Niulu man guarding the guard. The guard is called Sakhalin, but he is from the East China Sea Jurchens from Sakhalin Island in the east. His mother is a married royal princess"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Although Tianzhuangtai is just a military fort, due to its important geographical location, there is a complete Niulu people guarding the Qing system. A bannerman has ten slave households, and three hundred people are three thousand households. In such a heavy area, the bannerman often picks out the strongest of his slave households to practice swords and guns"
"The Niulu from the Qing people obviously will not be fully fully paid, but Kanto is always full without exception. Due to the vast land and sparse population, these Niuluo often hide the fugitives who escaped from Shandong. In fact, there are more than 3,000 households, and some are estimated to reach 5,000 households."
"Even so, the land is still vast and sparsely populated, because there are only a few thousand households in these new Manchuria, and there must be only tens of thousands of slave households"
"According to regulations, the Qing court only had 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers in Fengtian Prefecture, so there were 5,000 New Manchu households, that is, 50,000 Han slave households. Together with farmers who were granted civilians, all the farmers had only 100,000 households"
"Civilian?"
"Oh, there were originally a large number of former Ming officials and descendants of generals here. After the Qing people seized power, they did not demote them all to slaves in order to appease these people, but instead placed them on the spot as tax-paying farmers. After the families of the distributors received a general amnesty, some were also placed on the spot."
"In addition, there are quite a few Mongolian Eight Banners, plus their slaves, the total number should be around 700,000, and most of them are concentrated near Shengjing and Liaoyang."
"Each city has about 100,000"
"North of Liaoyang City, there is a capital city before the Qing Dynasty obtained Shengjing, called Tokyo City. There are also some Manchus who are unwilling to move into the pass, and all trade involving inside and outside the pass must also be carried out in this city"
"At the same time, the Qing people and the Jurchen tribes of the East China Sea, where the ceremonies and savages and Jurchen tribes were married and held ceremonies were held. Every year, ten royal women were waiting to marry here, ten royal men and women were waiting to marry here, and ten tribal men and women were waiting to marry here, and the ceremony was handled by the Office of Internal Affairs"
"There are other tribe leaders who are not qualified to marry daughters or masters, but they must also come here on August 15th to wait for the reward from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, these tribes must also use Northeast specialties to pay tribute"
Kang Xiaozi nodded, "What day is today?"
"On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, according to the rules, the Qing court, tribe men and women, and all the merchants with waist-to-branded cards have arrived. They call it the tribute ceremony and the tribute city. Two grand events were held together to demonstrate the grand occasion of our Qing Dynasty"
“………”
At dawn this day, the fleet finally approached Tianzhuangtai, the Liaohe River's sea entrance!
The autumn wind suddenly rises, and the farm platform more than twenty miles away is hidden in a morning mist. The autumn wind blows the morning mist and floats all over the place.
Kang Xiaozi said: "Can't move forward anymore. A few days ago, our warships had swept this area. People here are already familiar with the roar of our ships. Fortunately, we are still dragging the large bluff ship of the Qing Navy. Since there is only one Niulu's man in Tianzhuangtai, we rowed and seized it by the accompanying Marine Corps."
Tianzhuangtai, thirty-year-old Niu Luezhen Sakhalin was asleep with two concubines.
Sakhalin is the son of the Jurchen leader of the East China Sea of Sakhalin Island. As the son of the tribe leader of a large island, he was fortunate to acquire the daughter of Bele, the Doro Gege. However, this princess looks very average. After Sakhalin got married, he placed him in Tokyo and he was stationed in Tianzhuangtai for a long time.
Tianzhuangtai is a must-pass place for the Korean tribute attendant and Kanto trade, so it has naturally become a popular commodity. At present, he has two concubines on the left and right, one is a Korean, and the other is a thin horse in Jiangnan. They are all charming and charming, which makes Sakhalin love them, so naturally he is happy to Shu.
A few days ago, Truchen's warship swept across the Bohai Bay area, which really made Sakhalin sweat. However, the Truchen people obviously had no intention of going ashore, but they just attacked the ships anchored in the port, which made him a false alarm.
"The Truqins will definitely not stay in Tianjin for too long, and they will definitely withdraw in winter"
This idea is not only the thoughts of people inside the pass, but also the thoughts of people outside the pass. Therefore, Sakhalin slept very well.
At this time, the Russians in Sakhalin Island had not yet entered, and they were still in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. However, the Qing government's jurisdiction over it was quite weak, and it was simply to continue its jurisdiction through tribute and marriage through tribal leaders.
In fact, in addition to the East China Sea Jurchens, there are also the Anu Yiren and the Japanese who entered the south of the island. The East China Sea Jurchens only occupy the northern part of the island.
However, as a Jurchen in the East China Sea, he has been fighting with brown bears for a long time and has the habit of catching whales. It is impossible to kill whales without any trouble. In addition, the Manchus collectively call people east of Changbai Mountain the East China Sea Jurchens. In fact, they have their own names.
Sakhalin is actually a Feiyakar, with strong body hair and wearing fish skin. Sometimes he is called a fish skin Tartar. His language and race are somewhat similar to Hezhe. When he comes to a flower world like Fengtian Mansion, he can still get such a beautiful woman. Sakhalin is naturally happy.
In any case, if you can be favored by the Qing people and be favored by the throne, you will be brave.
