Chapter 1003 An Opportunity to Be Nominated and Admired General
Decades ago, Shitukanov, a wealthy Tsarist Russian businessman who dealt in leather goods, first smelled the huge wealth hidden in it, so he obtained the power to expand eastward from the Tsar in the form of a lease, and then recruited the gangster leader who was on the run. Yemark recruited troops and gathered Kazakh soldiers and mobs, a total of 840 people, plus two priests of the Russian Orthodox Church, crossed the Ural Mountains to attack the Siberian Khanate.After six years of fighting, in the ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Siberian Khanate finally perished in Yemak with less than 1000 people.

Seeing the wealth and the expansion of the territory, the Russian emperor pardoned many criminals and wanted criminals, and dispatched [-] cavalry, led by Yemak, and ordered him to continue eastward with enough troops. Later, he sent his confidant Kalita to accompany the army to supervise the income and expenditure, and formulated the tax collection rules for the conquest.

One of the decrees in the conquered area is that adults need to pay seven mink furs as a population tax every year. Those who are baptized into the Orthodox Church are exempted from the population tax, but they must pay one-tenth of their hunting to the public.

Although the first few people at the head are dead, but because of the effect of wealth, the new tsar and the new leader of the eastward invasion are still going eastward, eastward, and eastward. We can reach the sea to the east.

Emperor Chongzhen just went online, and wanted to know the situation of the war on Hailanzhu's side first. He didn't expect that not only the war was over, but Hailanzhu accidentally captured a Xiyi who knew Mongolian, and learned so much about it.

After reading all the private chats, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In later generations, he had understood it.The Western countries that have grown stronger through the Industrial Revolution continue to carry out global colonization, whether it is Siberia or North and South America, they do not recognize the right to rule of the local people, and they follow the principle that whoever discovers it belongs to whichever country it is.The basis is that these tribes are barbarians, unworthy of sovereignty, and have no written records.

For example, West Siberia belonged to Mongolian and Turkic-speaking peoples before the arrival of the Russians, while East Siberia was the sphere of influence of the Tungusic-speaking tribes. Both the Mongol Empire and the Manchu Empire discovered this area earlier than the Russians. The land, has lived there since ancient times.

It is a pity that Western countries do not recognize this statement, because neither Mongolia nor the Manchus have such written records, just like Indians have no written records.This so-called legal basis is actually very ridiculous. According to this legal principle, only Western countries in the world have the right to "discover" new territories and occupy them legally.

If it was only in the era of cold weapons, these lands would have no value in the eyes of Daming and other Central Plains countries, and it would not matter if they were occupied by others.But Emperor Chongzhen knew how amazing the wealth contained in these lands would be after humans entered the industrial age!Moreover, if it were not for Siberia, Tsarist Russia would not know how many times it would be destroyed.

"Since I have come to this era, I must not let Tsarist Russia succeed!" Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, made up his mind again, and swore to himself.

Hai Lanzhu said a lot of news, and he also got some reminders from it. After telling Hai Lanzhu to return safely, he quit the chat group and thought about it for a long time. Finally, he came up with a way to send troops to Siberia right now. .

At this time of year, the wind has brought cold air, blowing away the green grassland.At this time of the previous year, people on the grassland had to think about how to live this winter!Most of the time, it's worrying!As for the routine and unavoidable things, it is likely to go south to fight grass valley.

This thing is actually a big risk.Every time this time comes in the customs, there will be precautions.Hitting Grass Valley, the bad reputation is second, the key is to pay the price of human life!If you are unlucky, sometimes the southward team suffers heavy losses.

But now, when the herdsmen on the grasslands outside the pass face the threat of severe winter, they no longer have to worry about the winter, and they don't have to risk their lives to go south to hunt grass valleys.The herdsmen who returned from grazing looked at the golden crop fields outside Guihua City, and all of them showed happy smiles.

The Han people grow crops here, the Mongols graze here, and then under the management of the Governor’s Mansion, the Han people have meat to eat, and the Mongols have food to eat, and they cooperate with each other. I don’t know how many times better this day is than before!
At this time, under the rule of Guihua City, regardless of Han and Meng, they are full of hope for the future.Talking about it in normal times is also planning for the future.

"If such a thing had happened long ago, what are we Mongols and Han people doing for so many years of fighting! Why didn't we do this in the past!"

"It goes without saying that now we are all one emperor, and everyone is a citizen of Ming Dynasty. The emperor is wise and treats us equally, so there is such a thing. In the past, whether it was the emperors or the emperors in the pass, everyone No matter what, how could such a good thing happen!"

"Actually, what you said is wrong. The main reason is that the current emperor is wise and powerful. He not only defeated Lin Danhan and the others, but also knew the benefits of this land. Let the Han people come to plant large-scale crops, which made up for the shortcomings of our Mongolians. , God has nothing to do with us!"

"Yes, yes, you are right. Since ancient times, it is not that there has been unification. Whether it was when Genghis Khan was in the past or when the Ming Dynasty occupied this place, there was no such thing as it is now. In this way, in the final analysis, the current emperor is wise. , is also our blessing!"

"No, the emperor not only solved our food and clothing problem, but also built us houses and schools. From now on, our children will no longer have to experience the hardships we have experienced!"

"..."

Most of the people, regardless of Han and Meng, are very satisfied.Of course, there are also some people who are not satisfied, and long for a better life, to be an official, to visit the capital, and to visit the customs.

No matter what they think, life goes on like this.

On this day, the people near Guihua City suddenly noticed that there were cavalry galloping from time to time, rushing into Guihua City.Those who knew him were very surprised. It seemed that all the generals under the Governor of Naturalization, even those from Baotou, had come to the Governor's Mansion. Is this going to happen?
"Could it be that Oirat's department wants to call over?" Someone speculated worriedly.

Immediately, someone retorted: "That's impossible. The Oirats surrendered to our Daming. Didn't you see last time that when their envoys returned from the capital, all of them were very respectful to our Ming? Our Hetao idea!"

"What could it be? Could it be Jianlu? Yes, it must be Jianlu. They want to rob us of our cattle, sheep, and food!" Some people suddenly realized that their thoughts were right.

Some people also sneered at this kind of speculation, and immediately retorted: "This is impossible, you think it was in the past! The present Jianlu have been beaten by our army in the eastern part of Daming and can only hide in their dens. It is impossible to come to us. Hetao!"

It's impossible, and finally someone pointed to the north and said suspiciously: "Then... is it the Khalkha tribe? It's across the Daqing Mountains!"

This possibility is also unlikely, because the Khalkha tribe in the north generally seldom go directly southward around the Daqing Mountains, but migrate westward, and there are often conflicts with western Mongolia.

In this way, these common people couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure out where the enemy came from.In the end, an older Mongolian said bitterly: "No matter who comes to destroy these, I will never agree, and I will fight them!"

Upon hearing this, the other common people, no matter Mongolian or Han, nodded their heads, agreed with serious expressions, and resolutely safeguarded their own interests.

When there was a lot of discussion outside, the generals who gathered in the lobby of the governor's mansion were mostly confused.While they were standing in the hall waiting for the governor, the acquaintances exchanged information in low voices.

But the result of the mutual communication is still confused. I don't know what the governor is rushing to send everyone over here.
The doubt didn't last long, and with the sound of footsteps in the back hall, Hong Chengchou finally appeared.

"See you, Governor!" All the generals clasped their fists in salute, while peeking at Hong Chengchou's face, but they didn't find anything wrong.As a result, they were even more surprised. Could it be that the Governor called everyone together, and there was something good to happen?
After seeing the ceremony, Hong Chengchou sat on the main seat and glanced at the generals below.Among these generals, some were from the official army of the imperial court, some were from former thieves, and some were from the Mongols. It can be said that the composition is a bit mixed.

Thinking of the emperor's will, he was a little stunned, no wonder the emperor would entrust this task to Guihua City.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou said slowly: "In the old days of the Han Empire, there were hussar generals who sealed off the wolves and lived in Xuxu, and even went straight to the vast sea, leaving behind the glorious deeds of the Han Empire everywhere. At that time, although the world Great, but there is no one who has not heard of the Great Han Empire! The enemies of the Great Han have nowhere to hide, and they tremble in awe when they hear the name of the Great Han. All peoples in the world respect and yearn for the Great Han Empire..."

When the generals heard the governor's opening remarks, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the governor meant by that?
Hong Chengchou naturally understood what the generals under his command were thinking, so he didn't take it seriously, he still said slowly: "Hussar general Huo Qubing was named champion at the age of seventeen. I am very impressed. This official believes that the champion Hou Shi is a role model for generals!"

The prestige of the champion, not to mention the son of the Han family, even the Mongols, has been heard of many times.But they didn't understand why the governor suddenly felt that the champion was here?
However, no matter what they think, the governor is feeling that they have to respond.Therefore, no matter who among them had never heard of Champion Hou's deeds, they clasped their fists and responded, "Champion Hou is a role model for my generation!"

Hong Chengchou nodded, looked at the generals below, and said with emotion: "Actually, in my opinion, many of you are quite capable, but you lack the opportunity like the champion. Otherwise, I believe , among you, there should be someone who has the hope of becoming a Marquis!"

If it is a situation of consecutive defeats, most generals may only think about saving their lives and winning the idea of ​​​​getting the marquis immediately, and they will not even think about it.But if the battle goes well and the morale is high, then the generals will naturally have to look forward to Shu, no longer thinking about just saving their lives, but wanting to be promoted and become a marquis.

Hearing this, many generals slowly figured out the meaning of the governor's words. It seemed that there was some chance to make military achievements and win the title of Marquis.Thinking about it this way, these generals became excited immediately.

Hong Chengchou saw the expressions of the generals eager to try from the main seat, changed the subject, and suddenly said: "However, our naturalized side will focus on recuperation for the past few years. As long as no enemies appear, we will not take the initiative to attack... ..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the generals under the hall suddenly became very bright, and they all slandered in their stomachs: What do you mean?Governor, although you are aloof, but these words go around, hooked our thoughts of worshiping generals and marquises, and then another plate of cold water was poured down?Is it fun?
Of course, there were also a few generals who were good at grasping people's hearts. They could not help being very curious when they heard something from the Governor's unusual words, and quietly waited for the Governor to finish speaking.

Sure enough, Hong Chengchou's face suddenly became solemn, he clasped his fists and gestured towards the capital, "However, I have just received the emperor's order, and I have a chance for you. As long as you can do it, don't talk about glory and wealth, you will be ennobled by the general." There are also..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the faces of the generals below, and suddenly emphasized: "I am not asking you to take the head of the general among thousands of troops, nor is it asking you to destroy Jianlu. This opportunity is actually dangerous. It's not high, the most difficult thing is actually to suffer!"

Hearing this, all the generals were excited immediately, there is a chance to worship the general and be knighted, so it is nothing to suffer!So, they all clasped their fists and responded, "Only by the governor's orders!"

Hong Chengchou nodded, looked at them and said: "The emperor intends to continue to expand the territory to the north, so that the Ming army can reach the northernmost point, the end of the sky. The former champion Hou Yinma Haohai, today the emperor thinks that I, General Daming, can drink horses in the Arctic Ocean." ! That is Haohai goes further north, at the end of the sky. Along the way, conquer the tribes you meet, and let all tribes become citizens of Ming Dynasty!"

"..." Hearing this, all the generals were speechless.

They were frightened by the emperor's ambition, and even more frightened by the difficulty of this goal.You know, to the north of Daqing Mountain, there is another Khalkha Mongolia, which is a large tribe of 10,000+ people.With the current strength of Guihua City, it may not be possible to win!
Or knowing their worries, Hong Chengchou immediately explained: "Of course, this expedition is to avoid the Khalkha tribe. The tribes encountered are all small tribes..."

Adhering to the will of Emperor Chongzhen, he explained the situation in detail, because the environment was too difficult, it would be best if someone volunteered.
