Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 197

"Your Majesty, I know a little about Abnay, Prince Chahar." Zhang Ruowang came to Zhu Cihong and said respectfully.

Although he is an old man beside Zhu Cihong, and has always been taken care of by Zhu Cihong, but he is not arrogant, and he has not forgotten his duty as a courtier, and he must be extremely respectful to his monarch.

"Oh, tell me quickly." Zhu Cihong is not an encyclopedia. He doesn't know what these Mongols and mite people do. If no one tells him, he will be a bit blind.

"This Abnai is the son of Lin Dan Khan. Although this year is only sixteen or seventeen, since Lin Dan Khan was killed by Huang Taiji, he has only left such a son. Although Lin Dan Khan was defeated and killed, the Mongols on the grassland are not Huang Taiji can rule, but the territory he won with great difficulty cannot be handed over to Oirat and Khalkha."

"So Huang Taiji made Abnai the Prince of Chahar. Although he is called a prince, he is actually no different from a vassal state. Abnai's territory will not pay taxes to Huang Taiji, and neither will the Mongolians of Chahar. Treat Huang Taiji as your own monarch."

"Although the Chahar people were defeated by Huang Taiji and the Mongolian Khan was deposed, they only paid some tribute to Huang Taiji every year. Without the permission of Prince Chahar, even if Huang Taiji came personally, he would not be able to move. Every single soldier of Chahar Mongolia."

Then, Zhang Ruowang changed the subject, "However, although Chahar Mongolia is very independent, Huang Taiji and the Qing clan attach great importance to the relationship with Chahar Mongolia, and often marry women from the Borzigit family as wives and concubines. .”

Hearing what Zhang Ruowang said, Zhu Cihuang realized that Chahar Mongolia and Miqing were not in a close relationship, but a complex relationship full of hatred and in-laws.

"So, there is a conflict between the clan of the Qing Dynasty and the Chahar Mongols." Zhu Cihong rubbed his chin and thought carefully.

He couldn't figure out why Huang Taiji had such a big heart. He killed Lin Danhan and let his son be the prince. Isn't this making him feel uncomfortable?Could it be that it is easy to deal with people because they are small? This is too contemptuous of young people.

There is also Dorgon, who is much older than Zhu Cihong and Abu Nai. He might have been there when Huang Taiji attacked Lin Danhan. How could he think of letting Abu Nai lead the Chahar people into the pass to support him?
Could it be that he is so sure of himself, believing that with his own ability and prestige, Abney will be obedient? Zhang Peilun doesn't know how the brain circuits of these mite people are long, and how they can make these ridiculous operations.

However, Zhang Peilun didn't find it strange that Dorgon's choice was made when he thought that the nobles of Mizhou began to implement the escape law and hair shaving order as soon as they entered the customs.

"Yes, I'm afraid the conflict between them is not small." Zhang Ruowang said with pouted lips.

"If we look at it according to our Han people's point of view, Mite Qing and Chahar have revenge for killing their father. When the Qing army marched on the grassland, it is said that they often plundered Chahar's herdsmen and livestock, causing heavy losses to the Chahar people. Mite Qing The clan often forcibly intermarried with the Mongolian princes, I am afraid that those in Abunai have complained about Mi Qing long ago."

Zhang Ruowang felt that Mite Qing must be hated by people in the Chahar Grassland. After all, there were so many hatreds between them. identical.

Since the Han people felt that there was hatred between Miqing and the Chahar people, then the Chahar people must also feel that Miqing had hatred against them.

"It would be great if we could take advantage of the hatred between them and turn Abnai into one of us." After hearing so much from Zhang Ruowang, Zhu Cihong felt that it was very simple to use the hatred between Chiqing and the Chahar people. matter.

But Zhu Cihong didn't expect that Zhang Ruowang would oppose him as soon as he uttered these words.

"No, Your Majesty, those Mongols are unfamiliar wolf cubs. When the late emperor was around, he gave them millions of taels of silver to bribe them to attack Chi Qing."

"In the end, Lin Danhan didn't do anything, took the money and didn't do anything. He just wanted to live a happy life. In the end, he was urged by the first emperor to harass the Qing Dynasty, but in the end they were defeated by the Qing army. In the end, Lin Danhan himself died. "

Zhang Ruowang strongly opposed Zhang Peilun's idea, because he had seen that the Ming court used gold and silver to bribe the Chahar people to let them attack Miqing and what would happen in the end.

It cost millions of silver, but it did not cause any heavy losses to Miqing. In the end, Miqing gained an extra piece of grassland.

Now think about it, if you have those silver bribes to bribe the Mongols, it is better to use them to train soldiers or pay the frontier army. One million taels of silver, if you save it, it is enough to pay 10 people for a year.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhu Cihong asked back.

He doesn't believe that Abu Nai can't be used by him. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Compared with Lin Danhan, the current era has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhu Cihong doesn't believe that Abu Nai will make the same choice as his father. He didn't work hard, took money and didn't do business, and was killed by the Qing army in the end.

"How about this, Zhang Ruowang, you take my edict and go to meet Abnai in secret on my behalf, and talk to him about the conditions. As long as he is willing to submit to me and fight for me, I can accept the conditions if the conditions are not too outrageous."

"I can make him the Prince of Chahar, give him an annual salary of 10 taels of silver, and allow some markets to be opened on the border between Ming and Chahar. No matter who's caravan enters the border of Chahar, he can collect taxes. I don’t care how he manages Chahar Mongolia. If someone attacks him, I will definitely send the imperial army to help him. In addition, I will give him 50 taels of silver at one time as the military expenses of his headquarters in Chongzhen for 17 years. .”

Although 50 taels of silver is a lot, it is too worthwhile for Zhu Cihong to buy the service of Chahar people for several months.

You know, before Wanli, women in the palace spent three to four million taels of silver a year for makeup and powder. During the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli raised this standard to 40 million taels of silver per year.

If the Emperor Wanli was willing to suffer from his harem and save money on food and expenses, the three major signs of Wanli might become the six major signs.

"In addition, I will give you a thousand taels of gold as a reward for this meeting. I believe that Abnay will be satisfied with such a generous treatment."

Zhu Cihong felt that the price he offered was already high enough. Abu Nai was just a teenage Prince Chahar. Seeing so much wealth, he would definitely be blinded by his dog's eyes. contract.
