Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 318

The Ming Dynasty is so powerful that it may be difficult to kill the distant country of England, but it is quite easy to bring down the British East India Company.As long as trade sanctions and private plundering are imposed on the British East India Company... How much capital can the British East India Company lose?

And this British East India Company is a privately held company!

When Childe heard Nalan Xingde's words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead!Most of the shareholders of the British East India Company are either rich or noble, and there are a lot of powerful and powerful lords... If the company is going to go bankrupt in his hands, he will stop living and find a place where no one is around. Bar!

"Yes, but Ming's army will inevitably encounter the Allied forces in Tianzhu. At that time, the cannons and flintlock guns of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will not care who is the soldier of Ming..." Childe's tone had already softened, but he still tried his best to let go. With harsh words.

Zhu Heqi laughed loudly: "What is the Eight-Nation Allied Forces? It should be your Western Six-Nation Allied Forces plus the Mongol-Raksha Allied Forces, right? Kangxi Khan had 20 Mongolian soldiers, and your Western Six Nations only have tens of thousands of soldiers. Still working on an expedition, the rear home is still threatened by the Ottoman Empire, do you still expect to be able to get involved in the inherent territory of the Mughals in the northern plains of Tianzhu?

Moreover, when I entered Tianzhu in the Ming Dynasty, I was fighting against Mongolia, and the six countries are not worthy of being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.In the future, the lands of the Indus River, Ganges River, and Bengal in the north of Tianzhu will either be protected by Ming Dynasty, or it will be the territory of Kangxi Khan, and the six western countries are not allowed to get involved! "

Of course, Zhu Heqi would not learn from the British Empire to create a unified Indian Empire for the Indians—although the British exploited India ruthlessly, even if they were fooled away by the hungry mahatma, a large number of them were still left behind. The "spiritual British" still controls India's economic lifeline.But after all, they left India as a basically unified and huge Indian country.

This gives India a foundation for future revival!

Of course, Zhu Heqi will not be as "kind" as the British... He doesn't want the whole of India, and he doesn't even intend to destroy the Mughal dynasty and establish direct rule in India's fertile northern plains.

His idea is to retain the Mughal dynasty and support them in ruling northern and northeastern India, forming an east-west confrontation with the Great Mongols occupying Afghanistan and northwestern India.

At the same time, Western countries are allowed to establish colonial rule in the Deccan Plateau and the south of India. Although the Deccan Plateau and the south of India are not as fertile as the Great Plains in the north, they have a long coastline and can be used as trade between the East and the West. transfer station.

In addition, there are many plains that can be developed in the southern coastal areas of India, and they are all good places that have been developed for thousands of years or even two to three thousand years.Many European business houses and small colonies are in that area.

If you work hard and squeeze it, it should still be very oily!

On the other hand, Ming can use the European colonies in southern India as hostages and trade transfer points... In this way, Britain, the Netherlands, and France have no major interests in the Midwest of America, and at the same time they want to colonize and trade from southern India. The European powers who benefited from the trade in China and northern India kept them from fighting against Ming on the side of Spain.

Nalan Xingde translated Zhu and Qi's words into Latin again, and he said to Chard: "The great emperor said that the great plains in the north of India are the place where our Ming soldiers and the great Mongols compete. You Westerners You are not allowed to go, otherwise you will become an enemy of the Celestial Empire! The Deccan Plateau and other places in the south are not owned by the Mughals of India, and the Ming Dynasty will not interfere."

As soon as he said that, Childe understood immediately!

Daming was not a "true friend" of the Mughal kingdom in India, but he just wanted to step in and get a big piece—cut off the biggest and fattest piece with a single knife, leaving the fatter piece in the northwest to be eaten by Kangxi Khan.As for the mountainous areas in the south that look relatively poor, let the six western countries go there.

This is to carve up India!Moreover, the best ones were distributed away, and only a bunch of bones were thrown to England, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Sweden, and the Pope.

But something to eat is better than nothing to eat...

Childe breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to inquire about the Philippines, Nalan Xingde had already spoken: "Governor Chadel, 10 minutes are up, bow and leave now!"

Chard had no choice but to bow, and then led Qiongsen and Nalan Xingde out of the main hall of Yuxi Palace.

Seeing Nalanxingde, Childe, and Qiongsen leave, Zhu Heqi then asked the left and right: "Who is next?"

Zhu Heqi's chief guard, Qiu Hu said, "Your Majesty, this is Princess Shunyi."

"Anu?" Zhu Heqi was taken aback, "Why is she here today?"

Qiu Hu said: "Your Majesty, Princess Shunyi is here for official business... This is her invitation booklet."

While talking, Qiu Hu handed a memorial to Zhu Heqi.

Zhu Heqian hurriedly took the booklet, opened it and saw that it was really official business!

Ge Erdan will return to Guihua City soon... He has now passed the Hexi Corridor and is heading back to the grassland along the Yellow River.

Chapter 752 Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to secure the world!

"Stand back! Ah Hu, go ask Princess Shunyi to come in... It's fine for her to come in alone."

Zhu Heqi and Anukodun have been good friends for many years, and they can talk about everything when they meet, so there is no need for a lot of people to wait on them, let alone someone to record daily notes there.

So Zhu and Qi retreated to the left and right, and asked Qiu Hu to ask Anu to come alone.Qiu Hu also left immediately after getting the decree. After a while, he heard the jingle of the ring pendant. He looked up and saw Anukodun, who was wearing a purple Mongolian robe and had a plump and graceful figure, had appeared slowly.

"Ah, Anu." Seeing that Anu Ketun's eyebrows were slightly frowned, Zhu Heqi waved at her, "Come here, sit by my side."

"Yes." Anuko dutifully replied, and blessed Zhu Heqi again, then walked to Zhu Heqi's side, pulled a chair, and sat down by himself.

"Anu, what's the matter?" Zhu Heqi looked at Anu Ketun and said with a smile, "Do you not want Ge Erdan to go home?"

Anu glanced at Zhu Heqi unhappily, "My lord, what you said... Ge Erdan is my husband no matter what, how could I not want him to go home? I just think it's a bit weird."

"What's weird?" Zhu Heqi asked.

Anu replied: "Ge Erdan has been elected as Deputy Khan of Mongolia at the Kuritai Conference in Tashkent... That is under one person, above ten thousand, and he can control the Heshuot Khanate. He can clearly Occupying the three places of Ili, Junggar, and Khobdo, he united the Heshuote Khanate to be our enemy. However, he expressed his willingness to accept the mediation of Your Majesty and Prince Chahar Burni, and distribute part of the family property to Cewangala The three Butan brothers. This is not in line with Erdan Ge's style in the past!"

"What's Ge Erdan's style?" Zhu Heqi asked with a smile.

Anukodun frowned and said: "When you see small gains, you forget your righteousness, and when you encounter big things, you become reckless!"

Knowing a husband is better than a wife!

This Ge Erdan is indeed such a number one person.

Zhu Heqi chuckled: "Why is he worse than Yuan Shao?"

Anu Ke Dun said: "Yuan Shao is the master of entrepreneurship, and Ge Erdan's status is a result of reincarnation... This is actually nothing, but Ge Erdan has the problem of being intolerant and stingy.

Anu's grandfather, Oqier Tuhan, was seized by him and put under house arrest until his death.Anu's grandfather had great kindness and Ge Erdan, and he would not let it go... How could he be willing to distribute so many parts to the brothers Tser Wangarabutan? "

Ge Erdan is indeed a relatively "stingy" Khan... Even the family business of his grandfather-in-law and nephew is going to be taken away!It's not really a majestic leader.

However, Zhu Heqi still understands his "stinginess" very well. His purpose is actually to turn Junggar from a "ministry" into a centralized state!

Since he wanted to establish a centralized country, he certainly didn't want to give up all the people and land in his hands.Moreover, the population of Junggar is small, and it did not exceed 100 million in its heyday. If it is concentrated, it may not be able to do any big things, and if it is dispersed, it will really be impossible to do anything.

Hearing this, Zhu Heqi couldn't help laughing: "Now that Kangxi has entered Tianzhu, he can no longer control the affairs of the Central Plains. His hometown, Shunyi City, was taken by Cewang Allah Butan again."

As he spoke, he glanced at Anu again, and said with a smile: "Even his wife and children have been detained by me...he is still not convinced, what else can he do?

Now that he has recognized his love so early, the prosperity and wealth of this life can be regarded as preserved, and future generations can also have something to rely on. "

"Impossible," Anukodun shook his head repeatedly, "Although Galdan has limited talent and lack of stamina, he is a hero who is unwilling to be subordinated to others."

"Haha..." Zhu Heqi smiled, "Ge Erdan is indeed such a character. However, the general situation in the world is such that even if he has Zhang Liang's plan, Zhuge's plan will not help."

Anukodun looked at Zhu Heqi with a bit of resentment, "My lord, do you really plan to let Ge Erdan return to Guihua City like this?"

Zhu Hechi nodded and said, "Of course, he can go back, but Anu, you still have to stay in Beijing as a hostage!"

Anu seemed a little angry, "My lord..."

Zhu Hechi smiled: "Anu, it's a deal."

He thought about it, and then said: "Why don't you do this... I will call the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert to meet in the Ulan Butong grassland. By the way, let's mediate the internal disputes in Junggar. Anu, what do you think?"

Anu sighed, "That's the only way."

Zhu Hechi stretched out his hand, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "No matter what, I will never treat you and your two sons badly."

……

On the boundless Ordos prairie, at some point, thousands of yurts have been set up.There are also countless cattle, sheep and horses swimming in the green grassland.

In the center of these thousands of yurts, there is a giant tent with a golden roof.

The guards around the big tent were heavily guarded, all Zhungeer warriors in chain mail and flintlock guns with bayonets on their backs.

Inside the big tent, at this moment, only Ge Erdan and Zhou Peigong were sitting opposite each other.

Zhou Peigong was still holding an imperial edict in his hand, and he had read it word for word twice, and now he finally showed the smiling face that he only had when his treachery succeeded.

"Deputy Khan, Zhu Heqi has agreed to mediate the internal disputes in Zhungeer. Moreover, he will invite Burni and the leaders of various ministries in the south and north of Mongolia to gather in the Ulan Butong Alliance... When the time comes, Zewang Arabitan The three brothers will definitely go. This is our chance!"

"Opportunity?" Ge Erdan was a little undecided, and said in his heart: "Zhu and Qi will not go to the meeting alone, they will definitely bring a large army. And the three brothers Cewang Arabtan, Burni, and the tribes of Mobei and Monan The leader will also bring warriors. Is there really a chance to strike?"

"There is a chance." Zhou Peigong laughed. "There is always a chance on the grassland. If they are in the city, there is really no way."

"It's true!" Ge Erdan said heartily, "If I follow Zhu Heqi into Beijing, then I really won't have a single chance."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Ge Erdan finally made up his mind, "Scholar Zhou, tell me, what should I do?"

Zhou Peigong said in a low voice: "Vice Khan, you can choose hundreds of dead soldiers to take to Ulan Butong, and then look for opportunities to attack suddenly.

After a blow, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will immediately flee. "

"Okay, just listen to the bachelor." Ge Erdan gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, "I, Ge Erdan, will fight with the surname Zhu!"

"The surname is Zhu?" Zhou Peigong was taken aback for a moment, thinking: "Aren't your three nephews who are arguing with you for the family property? Your three nephews are not surnamed Zhu!"

It turned out that Zhou Peigong's plan for Ge Erdan was to use the Ulan Butong League to suddenly launch an attack and kill the three brothers including Cewang Arabutan, so that no one would fight Ge Erdan, and no one could compete with him for family property.

But Ge Erdan wanted to kill Zhu Hechi!

Ge Erdan nodded and said, "Yes! It's Zhu Heqi! It's him that Ben Khan wants to kill!

As long as this beast can be eradicated, there is hope for the revival of my Great Mongolia! "

What?Zhou Peigong gasped and thought: "This Ge Erdan is so cruel! To actually want to bet so big, this is not a bet on territory, but a bet on life!"

Chapter 753 The enemy is at Ulan Butong Peak!

The sixth year of the Grand Duke, the first day of April.

The Bashang Grassland is full of vitality in summer.This is the best season of the year on the Bashang Grassland. There are many white clouds in the sky, warm wind blows gently on the ground, and there is a bit of fresh water vapor in the air.The Bashang Grassland, which has always been known for its abundance of water and grass, looks even more plump in this season, so fat that it is almost dripping with oil!

Small yurts are dotted here and there on the green prairie. Flocks of sheep and colorful horses that look like white clouds flow on the prairie, making this fertile prairie even more affluent.

On the official road leading to Ulan Butong Mountain from the third hall in the north of the mouth, the sound of horseshoes rumbled like thunder.Hundreds of Junggar chain armored cavalry, surrounded by their Danjin Boshuoketu Khan and Deputy Khan of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, walked ahead.

Behind these elite mail cavalry, there are countless blue Junggar military flags waving in the wind, and there are endless chain armor cavalry following.The most elite cavalry of the Junggar Khanate finally arrived at the Bashang Grassland.

Mongolian nomadic troops usually go out with a part of their family members and a large number of cattle and sheep—fighting, production, and holding hands. However, this time Ge Erdan left all his family members and livestock in the Houtao grassland. Only [-] of the most elite Junggar warriors were brought to cross the Monan Grassland in the name of participating in the Ulan Butong League, all the way east.

In order to achieve a surprise attack, Ge Erdan also deliberately concealed the purpose of the trip. Only Zhou Peigong and his three confidant generals Dugar Alabatan, Danjin Ombu, and Danjila knew the real status of the Great Mongolian Deputy Khan. thoughts.Others thought that going to Ulan Butong was to accept the emperor's review, and there might be a good deal to do with money to fight for the emperor-some of them had participated in the Japanese war, and they all knew how to fight with the emperor The salary is high, the benefits are good, and it's all smooth sailing.The rockets and cannons blasted over the head and covered the face, and the iron-strike enemies were thrown into chaos. Then, under the impact of the iron cavalry, they could almost win a big victory.

Thinking of good things in their hearts, every Junggar cavalry soldier had a happy face, and looking at the fertile and fertile grassland around them, he was even more happy.Only the three confidant generals under Ge Erdan's command and Zhou Peigong had serious expressions on their faces.The four of them had already discussed and used the opportunity of Ulan Butong's alliance to assassinate Cewang Allah Butan.

Zhou Peigong, who is familiar with the "Anti-Scripture", has long been prepared to assassinate someone!When he came to Ge Erdan's side to take office, he brought the high-grade Hedinghong that Emperor Kangxi personally refined, and put it in a big bowl, and keeping it could poison people to death!

He also brought a Cossack sharpshooter who could use a rifled gun to snipe, and he was equipped with a rifled foreign gun produced in the London House of England... one dozen is accurate!

In addition, when Zhou Peigong was a big boss of Confucianism, he raised more than a dozen dead soldiers, all of whom were good at martial arts, and they could also form a team to carry out assassinations. They have already helped Zhou Peigong get rid of many thorns !

Among the above three assassination packages, there is always one that suits Allah Butan!

As long as Cewang Allah Butan is killed, his two little brothers are nothing to worry about, and the matter of dividing the family property will naturally disappear.

At that time, while Ge Erdan was running away, he had the cheek to ask Anukedun to go out and beg Zhu Heqi for forgiveness, so he should be able to fool him for a while—from the special care Zhu Heyi took for Anu, Zhou Peigong had already come to a conclusion However, Emperor Zhu did not want to resolve the Junggar Khanate by force, but wanted to use peaceful means to dismantle the Junggar Khanate into several parts.

Zhou Peigong is completely understandable for Zhu Heqi's approach.Because he knows too well that the Junggar Khanate has a vast land and few people-this Khanate now controls the Hetao grassland in the south of the desert, the Khobdo grassland in the north of the desert, the Junggar grassland and the Yili grassland in the west of the desert, and also controls the entire Ye'er Qiang Khanate.On such a large piece of land, there are only hundreds of thousands of Junggars and less than 100 million Hui people of the Yeerqiang Khanate.

If Zhu Heqi wanted to solve the Junggar Khanate by force, it would easily lead to a bad battle of "hide and seek on the prairie".And the Ming army was not a nomadic soldier, and it simply didn't have the ability to produce, move, and hunt for enemies on the prairie...so this kind of "hide-and-seek battle" was very difficult to fight.

Therefore, as long as Ge Erdan escapes after getting rid of his nephew Cewang Allah Butan, Zhu and Qi are likely to pinch their noses and admit defeat.Then he will continue to detain the two sons of Anukodun and Ge Erdan... As long as Ge Erdan dies of illness, Anukodun will be able to take Ge Erdan's two sons and some of the quasi-division fighters in the Ming Dynasty. Returning to the Junggar Khanate with the support of the army, the Junggar Khanate can be easily dismantled into several parts.

But such a good plan cannot pass on Ge Erdan's side!

Although this Tenzin Boshuo Ketu Khan was born as a lama, he is very murderous and gambling. Now he just wants to gamble, what should he do?

At this moment, a group of knights galloped up from the front of the team. The first rider was a lama, and it was Lama Yiraguk whom Ge Erdan relied heavily on.This Lama Iraguk has been working with Anukedun for the past two years... that is, he was a big lama in Beijing, but he was doing well, his complexion looked good, and he was white and fat .He is also in a very good mood now, because together with Burni, he helped Zhu and Qi organize the Ulan Butong Conference, and he has contributed a lot!

Zhu Heqi also promised him yesterday that when the Junggar matter is settled, he will be sent to Tibet with Tsewang Allah Butan to drive away the Dalai Khan and Kangxi Khan's good brother Sangji Gyatso!In the future, the Mongol king in the snowy region would appoint Anu's uncle or brother (Anu is the princess of the Heshuote tribe), and the chief lama will be appointed by Iraguk.When the Fifth Grand Lama passes away, the matter of finding a successor will also be handed over to Lama Iraguk... Now the power is really in the snow!

So when Iraguk saw Ge Erdan, he was very happy, put his hands together, performed a Buddhist ceremony, and then said with a smile: "Danjin Boshuoktuhan, you came so fast! "

Ge Erdan smiled and said: "The Great Emperor has a call, how dare I not come day and night? By the way, has the Great Emperor arrived? Has Anu arrived?"

"It's here, it's here...just arrived yesterday!" Iraguk said with a smile, "We arrived together, and now the Great Emperor is camping on Ulan Butong Peak!"

Hearing that Zhu and Qi had arrived, Ge Erdan smiled and asked, "Where's Anu? She's also on Ulan Butong Peak?"

"Yes, yes... She is also on Ulan Butong Peak." When Iraguk said this, he felt a little nervous, but he felt relieved when he saw Ge Erdan's face.

Ge Erdan was still full of joy, and said with a smile: "It's great that Anu is here... Has Cewang Allah Butan arrived yet?"

"Not yet," Lama Iraguk said, "Cewangarabutan and Burni have not arrived yet, the Great Emperor and Ketun have come first, and they were planning to go hunting around Ulan Butong Peak. How many days?"

Ge Erdan nodded, performed another Buddhist ceremony, and said with a smile: "Master, please work hard, go back and tell the emperor and Anu that Ge Erdan can go to Ulan Butong tomorrow morning, and tomorrow night See you on the mountain."

"Okay," Iraguk nodded with a smile, "I'll go back and talk to the Great Emperor and Ke Dun."

After speaking, he clasped his hands again, saluted once more, then turned his horse around, and headed towards Ulan Butong Peak in no time.

Looking at Lama Iraguk's back, Ge Erdan's complexion gradually darkened, and then he let out a cold snort.Dugar Arabutan, Danjin Ombu, Danjila, and Zhou Peigong hurried forward and got close to Ge Erdan.

I only heard Ge Erdan say: "Now only Zhu Heqi and Anu have arrived in Ulan Butong... This is because the Buddha helped me succeed! Pass my order, the whole army must speed up, and must arrive in Ulan Butong tomorrow morning." Tong Peak! The enemy is at Ulan Butong Peak!"

Chapter 754 Burn him to death, burn him to death!

It was already night, the sky was full of stars, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, which looked extraordinarily bright. The sky and the earth were peaceful. It was really a good day to launch a night attack.

Looking north from a mountain on the south bank of the Sarick River, we can only see camps crouching silently at the foot of Ulan Butong Mountain.Ulan Butong is Mongolian, which means red jar. The mountain is not tall, but a small mountain standing abruptly on the prairie. The height is only more than [-] feet, and the vision is extremely wide.A mountain city made of wood and sandbags appeared on Ulan Mutong Mountain at some point.Torches are lit and lanterns are hung on the mountain city, emitting bits and pieces of light in the night.
