Chapter 399 Rakshasa wants a strategic buffer again (please subscribe!)

The Ming Dynasty held sports games happily, but in the far northwest, a drastic change was taking place.

The Rakshasa turned his face again and refused to recognize anyone.

Because some time ago, Cewang Alabutan took the initiative to seek peace talks with the Qing Dynasty, expressed his willingness to surrender, and called Kangxi the Khan of Heaven!

Seeing that the Junggar tribe was quite sincere, the Qing Dynasty also readily accepted it.

Because the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty encountered the same problem as the expedition to Siberia.

First, logistical supplies are too difficult. The places in the northwest are too desolate and transportation is very inconvenient.

The second is the matchlock gun made with ingenuity by the "Dutch" people. It is very easy to use, but it has a fatal problem: it is easy to explode!

The casualties caused by the Junggars to the Qing Dynasty Army were not as great as the casualties caused by the Dutch matchlocks exploding the barrels!

In fact, musket explosions have always been a problem, but it was more serious with Dutch matchlocks!

In this regard, the Ministry of Works of the Great Qing Dynasty also consulted the fake Dutchman Julio and asked him what was going on.

This seriously affects the national security of the Rakshasa people. Golovin said that they felt very insecure, so a strategic buffer was needed.

The nomads on the grassland, with the sky high and the air clear, and the wind-blown grass low to the ground showing cattle and sheep, seem poetic and picturesque, a very beautiful life.

The Qing Dynasty's attack on Junggar was not intended to exterminate the Junggar people with one blow. If they killed all the people, occupying this land would be of no use.

In fact, the grassland tribes knew very well that despite their enthusiasm for attacking the Central Plains Dynasty, although they robbed a lot of things and killed many people, the gains outweighed the losses. The Central Plains Dynasty was the most powerful!

The nomads prospered quickly and died quickly. One after another, tribes large and small disappeared in the long river of history. There were various reasons. Attacking the Central Plains and wiping out the tribal power was one of them.

Similarly, the life of the Qing people was quite attractive to the nomadic people.

Kangxi believed that the assimilation ability of the Central Plains was so terrifying that as long as Mongolia from Mongolia joined the Qing Dynasty, ten years later, the Baobao court would be able to spend silver dollars to hire gentlemen to teach Mongolians to learn Mongolian!

After all, there is the Manchu case first.

"Dear envoy, this Khan has only one condition, and that is that Emperor Kangxi marries this Khan's sister as his concubine." Cewang Alabutan believed that only marriage can be reliable!

To be honest, if the tribesmen live a decent life, they would rather not provoke the Central Plains Dynasty.

In fact, Golovin had a premonition that the Junggars would definitely not be able to defeat the Qing Dynasty, so he assembled 20,000 troops in the Altai Territory just in case.

Even though the leaders of the various Oirat Mongolian tribes were all arrogant and arrogant, they were terrified in their hearts, because on the grasslands the jungle was eaten by the strong and killings were rife, so it was remarkable that a tribe had prospered for three generations.

In comparison, a title is nothing. People's hearts belong to me. This is the greatest wealth in the world!

Golovin thought: Rakshasa has always supported you in the Junggar fight against the Qing Dynasty. If the Junggar army joins the Qing Dynasty, then they will have to fight with the Qing Dynasty!

Julio, this big liar, had already had countermeasures. He claimed that the black powder of the Qing Dynasty was too backward and had too many impurities, which seriously affected the performance of the Dutch matchlock gun, and explosion of the chamber was inevitable.

As the saying goes, the barbarians have no luck, this applies not only to the barbarians stationed in the Central Plains, but also to the barbarians on the grasslands. They have seen it a lot. They stepped on the corpses of their former leaders to rise to power, and they were also worried that others would step on their corpses to rise to power.

In fact, this is an appearance. The real grassland life is extremely difficult. When the white-haired wind comes, all the livestock will die. Without the livestock, all the tribesmen will die in the coming year.

The leaders of the remaining tribes were granted titles based on the number of tribal warriors at the time of submission. For example, a tribe that could form 10,000 cavalry would be granted the title of marquis, and a tribe with 30,000 cavalry would be granted the title of duke. Both were hereditary.

If something went wrong, the family would not be safe, the men would be executed, and the women would become other people's wives and concubines.

If Junggar surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they would be able to receive food assistance from the Qing Dynasty, which was actually a good thing for ordinary herdsmen.

By the way, let me explain here, the predecessor of the Junggar Khanate was the Oirat Mongolian Junggar tribe, and the Oirat Mongolian tribe was actually the Mongol Oara tribe during the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing this statement, the Ministry of Industry of the Qing Dynasty was helpless. Indeed, the craftsmanship of the Dutch gun was very high, and it was almost carved from the same mold. If there was a problem, it could only be caused by the use of the Qing Dynasty gun.

Of course, these Junggar people have very good thoughts and are still living with the country. How long the Qing Dynasty can last depends entirely on the face of the Ming Dynasty.

The Altai Territory is too far away, so being able to assemble an army of 20,000 Rakshasa troops is already a great effort!

In addition, Golovin also colluded with the neighboring Kazakh Khanate and agreed to carve up Junggar together.

The Ming Dynasty is a thing of the past, but now, the Junggar people have encountered a problem.

The Qing Dynasty guaranteed the spread of Cewang Alabutan's branch. As long as they did not rebel, the position of county king would always be reserved for them. For example, if a county king was stripped of his royal title by the court for committing a crime and the county king stepped down,

Wang Jue also selected people from his branch.

There is also horse plague, which can sweep across the entire grassland!

And if you become an official of the Qing Dynasty, you will act in accordance with the law, and the families of the leaders will be separated from the country!

As long as you don't commit suicide, you no longer have to worry about your family having no heirs in a hundred years.

The problem is that the Rakshasa people quit. As soon as they heard that the Dzungars were going to collude with the Qing Dynasty, the Rakshasa Empire Count, Imperial Minister, Field Marshal, and Chief of the Altai Territory Feodor Alexeevich Golo

Wen immediately became angry.

It was Wala who captured the Mingbao Sect.

Not to mention, the conditions offered by the Qing Dynasty were still very generous.

"I will report this condition to the Emperor."

Why did the tribes go south to attack the strong cities of the Central Plains Dynasty? It was because they could not survive.

There was no other way. The Qing Dynasty asked the Netherlands to export gunpowder to them, but Julio said that the Ming Dynasty's trade embargo was too strict. It was extremely difficult to smuggle muskets, but gunpowder was absolutely impossible. Let the Qing Dynasty die early.

A heart.

This Golovin was historically the plenipotentiary representative of the Rakshasa side in the Treaty of Nerchinsk.

Based on the consideration of reducing casualties, the Qing Dynasty felt that peace talks at this time were an opportunity.

The capital of the Altai Territory is Barnaul, which is right on the edge of the Junggar Khanate. It can take up to five days to invade Junggar territory.

However, the Qing army was basically in the east of Junggar, and the journey there was relatively long. At least the Junggar Khanate had to face the Rakshasa army for half a month.

Junggar Khan Tsewang Alabutan gritted his teeth, and after sending someone to speak to the Qing envoy, he transferred all the Junggar cavalry that had to deal with the Qing army back to the Khan's tent to concentrate all his efforts on dealing with the Rakshasa army.

Regarding Cewang Alabutan's transfer of all the cavalry prepared to deal with the Qing Dynasty back to the Khan tent, the Qing envoy just smiled and did not care. After all, if the Qing Dynasty continued to attack Junggar, even if all the Junggar cavalry were to stop it,

Useless.
