Chapter 301: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf
Stop and go, it’s like an outing, and it actually feels pretty good!
After entering the Qinghai area, in order to save food, Yuzhu killed fifteen sheep every day and distributed them to the soldiers.
After calculation, when there is meat to eat, the rate at which the army eats food is significantly reduced by more than one-third.
The herdsmen on the grassland have many sheep, but few tea bricks.
Along the way, there were no sheep to eat, so I took tea bricks to scattered herdsmen to exchange them.
Please note that this is an exchange, not a robbery.
Five days later, the army led by Yuzhu arrived at Bayannuoer, a small market town in Huitenan Banner.
Dorobele Nazar of the Huitnan Banner led the elders of the clan to kneel respectfully by the roadside to welcome the arrival of the Qing royal master.
When Yuzhu heard the report, he smiled slightly. This Nazabel was obviously here to apologize!
The truth is actually obvious. Xiao Celing and Yaku led a large team of more than a thousand people and passed through the town of Bayannuoer, but Yuzhu didn't get any news.
Riding on a tall horse, Yuzhu slowly came to Nazha and asked him condescendingly: "Nazha, do you know your sin?" He spoke fluent Mongolian.
"I know that I am guilty, but I am willing to atone for my sin." Nazha knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and then asked someone to bring his head.
The head was brought to the pile of prisoners and asked to identify it. As a result, someone screamed, "Habson Khan..."
Yuzhu understood that this boy Nazar must have secretly killed Yaku, the leader of the rebels.
"Sinner Nazar, this is far from enough." Yuzhu was a little disappointed. Yaku's early death made his purpose of leading troops to the front line of Qinghai Lake become unjustifiable.
"I am ignorant, please let the commander-in-chief of the heaven express my opinion." Nazha was very cunning, and his posture was unusually low.
Obviously, Nazha was very familiar with the official rules of the Qing Dynasty. Didn't he just stick to it and not hit the smiling man with his hand?
"One thousand sheep, fifty cows, one hundred horses, and fifty unmarried girls." Yuzhu felt unhappy, and immediately offered a sky-high price.
Nazha complained bitterly: "To be honest, the commander-in-chief, there are only a thousand households in this small department, and fifty girls is really too many."
By interrogating the prisoners, Yuzhu already knew an obvious rule on the grassland: women on the grassland are much more important than cattle, sheep, and horses.
Why?
In the prairie where the strong is respected, population is always the most important strategic resource.
Mongolian women, as long as they like the man they like, can drag them into the tent to have sex.
Hidden behind this behavior is a profound law of population growth.
If a tribe wants to grow, it needs a large population.
If only one man inseminates, the chances of a woman having a baby are definitely not as good as having multiple options.
Unless this woman is born unable to have children!
Yuzhu opened his mouth and asked for fifty Mongolian girls. To put it bluntly, the punishment was much more serious than asking for cattle, sheep and horses.
Na Zha kept talking, but was interrupted by Yu Zhu raising his hand.
Yuzhu said coldly: "I am camped outside the town. If I don't see you sending the girls here before noon, the entire Huitnan Banner will be the enemy of the Qing Dynasty!"
If you don't send women away, you will be the enemy of the Qing Dynasty. This is Yuzhu's ultimatum.
Yuzhu led his army into Qinghai. The so-called counterinsurgency was not the focus in the first place.
As the local emperor of Xining, Yuzhu said that the Huitnan Banner was the enemy, so that was definitely the case.
We are the enemy, so we must organize our army and start a war!
Yuzhu did not detain Naza and others on the spot, because he actually did not want to lose his status.
Why kill the envoy if it is not possible?
After offering a sky-high price, Yuzhu did not enter the market town, but turned his horse's head and actually camped outside Bayannuoer.
After Zha got off the camp, Lu Wu asked Yuzhu doubtfully: "Commander Yu, why didn't you just capture Na Zha?"
Yuzhu sipped the hot tea and said with a smile: "That will ruin my reputation. We came to the grassland not only to punish the enemy, but also to scare the so-called friends. I asked for a high price, and he couldn't pay back the money on the spot.
There are only two ways to go. Either raise an army and attack, or bite the bullet and give in to me."
"Commander Lu, without the blessing of the musketeers, how can the Mongolian cavalry be our opponent?" Yuzhu deliberately did not explain clearly, just to let Lu Wu figure it out for himself.
Before noon, Nazar himself came with the atonement cattle, sheep, horses and women.
Very good, a man can bend and stretch. Yuzhu couldn't help but look at Nazha several times.
When Yuzhu served Naza wine, he smiled and said, "Master Nazabel, are you interested in joining me in countering the rebellion?"
Nazha was worried about his precious strategic resources, which had been robbed of so much by Yuzhu Hengdao. When he heard this proposal, he immediately became excited.
"I am willing to serve the General of the Qing Dynasty." Nazar did not hesitate at all and agreed on the spot.
Nazha endured the humiliation and suffered too much loss. He would definitely not give up until he followed Yuzhu out to snatch a group of girls back.
After they had had enough wine and food to send Nazar away, Wendena reminded Yuzhu in a low voice: "Mr. Zhu, this man is very scheming and has actually bypassed the trap you set for him. We have to guard against it."
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "No matter how powerful our army is, it only has a main force of 500. If one person is killed in battle, there will be one less person. Since there are people who are willing to serve as my pawns, why not? Besides, let's
The Mongols in Qinghai bear each other's blood debt and deepen each other's hatred, which is very conducive to our divide and rule."
After they were on the road again, the entire army changed into a pattern where Naza led 300 Mongolian cavalry to explore the road, and Yuzhu led the main Qing army to suppress the formation.
Along the way, Nazar was very dishonest and secretly sent people to destroy several yurts that were grazing outside.
Yuzhu clearly knew what Nazha was thinking, but he deliberately turned a blind eye and allowed Nazha to do bad things.
It's not the Central Plains area, and it's not the people of the Qing Dynasty who are causing harm. Yuzhu just pretends not to see it.
In fact, the higher Nazara's hatred value is, the more he can only rely on Yuzhu's support to continue to gain a foothold on the Qinghai grassland.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, when passing the Chuonan Right Head Flag, Nazar finally hit the iron plate.
Chuonan Youtou Banner is a branch of the Choros tribe. The Choros tribe is also a branch of the Junggar tribe.
The full name of the Junggar Khan-Galdan who committed suicide is Choros Galdan.
Nazar wanted to take advantage of Yuzhu's power to sneak attack the yurts along the way and steal the women and slaves.
As a result, by accident, Nazha's soldiers and horses were ambushed by Chuonan's Youtou Banner.
Damn it, when Naza was eating meat, he didn’t remember to call Yuzhu. Now, when Naza was beaten, did he remember to call Yuzhu for help?
There are ready-made examples. Yuzhu learned enough of Dorgon's tricks and kept his troops in check.
The people waiting for Nazha were beaten to exhaustion and looked defeated.
Yuzhu then took advantage of the situation and ordered Ma Qingfang to lead the cavalry to fight out. He blocked Chuonan's right head flag man and caught him off guard.
Chuonan Youtou Banner and Nazha's people fought hard, but both suffered losses, but Yuzhu took advantage of them.
By accidental calculation, the prince of Chuonan Youtou Banner, Beile and Taiji were either killed or captured.
To Nazha's surprise, Yuzhu not only did not kill the princes of Chuonan Youtou Banner, but instead allowed them to atone for their crimes. Like Nazha, he brought his elite cavalry to serve as the servants of the Qing Dynasty.
As the old saying goes, if you lose something outside the dike, make up for it inside the dike.
On the grassland, the fastest way to replenish women and warriors is to follow the strong men out to rob.
As a result, by the time they arrived at the Kalkanan Right Banner, the servant army outside Yuzhu had grown to more than a thousand people.
Since Yaku's death, Yuzhu deliberately let out the wind and wanted to choose one of Yaku's sons to be the new flag leader.
Unexpectedly, several of Jaku's sons were dissatisfied and led their troops to start a melee.
This is very much like the Yuan Shao family back then.
Not long after Yuan Shaogang died, it was clear that Cao Mengde was watching from the south, and the three brothers of the Yuan family were about to kill each other.
As a result, Yuan Shao defrauded Han Fu and carried forward the huge four-state foundation, but because of the fighting between his sons, they were all handed over to Cao Amo.
It’s really deplorable!
Yuzhu was sitting on a large army, but he deliberately stood still and watched the tiger fight.
When Jaku's sons had just decided the winner, Yuzhu took action to support the one who took the initiative to vote.
In fact, Yuzhu didn't take any action. He just asked the brothers Nazar and Chuonan Youtou Banner to climb the mountain and work hard. Whoever grabs the thing will own it.
Nazar and Chuonan Youtouqi, who had suffered huge losses, were eager to replenish their lost strength and did not care about the brotherhood on the grassland.
After some internal turmoil in Qinghai and Mongolia, the Kalkanan Right Banner was almost wiped off the map.
Borzigit Celen's little cousin is in Yuzhu's hands. As long as he is sent to the capital, Yuzhu can do business.
To be honest, Ce Leng didn't necessarily have deep feelings for his uncle.
Ce Leng came to Kangxi to make a request, just to confirm his status in Kangxi's mind.
With Ce Leng's cleverness, how could he possibly outplay Kangxi?
To be honest, when Yuzhu left Beijing and resigned, Kangxi just told him to preserve the blood of his uncle Ce Leng.
That's all!
It was nearly September, and when the weather gradually turned colder, Yuzhu led his troops around Qinghai Lake. After walking a long circle, they returned to Henan Zuomo Banner.
Belle Dorji Sebuteng, when he saw Yuzhu again, he was extremely respectful.
Wenard, who was standing aside, watched with helpless eyes as Dorzi Sebuteng hunched over, accompanied by careful attention, and flattered him obediently, saying a lot of cruel things.
Well, Mr. Zhu still has the foresight. The grassland people are afraid of power but not moral. If you have money, you are Ama. If you have breasts, you are Eni. They are born to like Mu Qiang!
By the time Yuzhu returned to Xiningwei in triumph, the chilly cold wind had already begun to ravage the entire northwest plateau.
"Sir, I got a letter from home, saying that Ama has left his position as the left assistant minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has been appointed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi."
As soon as Yuzhu returned home, he heard Cao Chun tell him about Qingtai's new whereabouts.
The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is a famously fertile position!
More importantly, Qingtai's appointment in Guangdong will play a significant role in Yuzhu's smooth recruitment of technical talents from European countries.
