"His Highness Regent, what should we do with our Mongolian tribe in this situation now?"
"Yes, the Dongjiang Army was not destroyed. It's not a problem for us Mongolians, right? Then what I promised before, should we find a way to solve the problem for us?"
"Yes, we have already made efforts. We have to express our opinions on the Qing Dynasty, right?"
“…”
Among these people who speak, Wu Keshan, especially the Korqin tribe, is the most active, because among all tribes, his identity is the most noble.
How to say, his aunt married Huang Taiji, and his two sisters married Huang Taiji one after another; then, Huang Taiji's daughter, to be precise, was the fourth daughter, that is, the daughter of his sister Bumubutai, married his son.
According to the customs of the Han people, it is really impossible to figure out the relationship between Wu Keshan and the Qing emperor.
But no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, Wu Keshan and the Jianlu royal family have the closest relationship.
Therefore, on the way here this time, the leaders of other tribes first found Wu Keshan and told him to communicate with the Qing Dynasty, wanting an explanation.
The Korqin tribe is a big clan, but the natural disasters are caused by heavy losses regardless of whether you are a big clan or not. If the tribe members can try to die as little as possible in this white disaster, Wu Keshan would also have to get relief from the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, he promised that other tribes could step forward and communicate with the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, Wu Keshan is not that stupid, he will be used as a gun, he has his purpose.
In his opinion, the Mongolian tribes used him as their representative to communicate with the Qing Dynasty, so that he would have more investment in negotiations. If he talked more, he would be able to gain more benefits as a representative.
Dorgon listened to them whining and making various requests, but he was not angry at all. He smiled and nodded from time to time, as if he agreed very much. What these Mongolians said made sense.
Seeing this situation, Wu Keshan and others put forward specific requirements. For example, how many cattle, horse and sheep died, and to survive this white disaster, how much food is needed, or cattle, sheep or anything else is possible.
Hearing their requests, Dorgon smiled and said to them, "I know that it is not easy for everyone. This time, you obey the Qing Dynasty's orders. Regardless of whether things succeed or not, the Qing Dynasty will naturally have to express it. Let's hold a banquet to welcome you. If you have any requirements, we will talk about it carefully at the banquet."
Of course, this can be found. The leaders of various Mongolian tribes, including Wu Keshan, all laughed and followed Dorgon and the others into the city.
As for ordinary elite Mongolian cavalry, they were all placed outside the city and were treated to by others.
All of this seems to be very harmonious.
In the imperial city, the banquet was held, and Dorgon and Daishan led other princes Beile to toast the leaders of these Mongolian tribes, and both sides were drinking very enthusiastically.
During this period, Wu Keshan also asked Dorgon whether they made the request, did the Qing Dynasty agree or not?
According to their private plan, they made the request. Knowing that the Qing Dynasty was in trouble, they could bargain with their requests and finally achieve a result that both parties could negotiate.
But what surprised them was that the Qing Dynasty did not bargain at all. When asked, they avoided answering and just kept toasting.
They were helpless about this situation and could only drink first.
I don’t know how long it took, a yellow jacket came outside. Wu Keshan recognized this person as Obai, the leader of the palace guards.
Then Oboi went directly to the Regent, whispered a few words, and then ignored anyone and left directly.
Wu Keshan looked at him a little strange because if he had the past, Oboi would say hello to him. What's wrong now? He didn't even look at him directly?
While he was thinking, Dorgon suddenly patted his hands and made a "slap" sound, attracting everyone's attention, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Then, Dorgon said to these Mongols: "There is a bad news to tell you."
Hearing this, the Mongolians who were drinking excitedly looked at each other: Why did His Highness the Regent be so disappointed? What bad news do you want to say?
Then Dorgon continued to say to them: "I received the news that the Ming cavalry sent more than 20,000 to the grassland and raided your tribe. At this time, the Ming cavalry should have returned. The news received from the pass was that all your tribes suffered heavy losses."
When all the Mongolian leaders were stunned when they heard this.
Originally, they thought that what Dorgon said was that there was not much food and grass, so they had to discount their requirements.
They were mentally prepared for this, so they didn't care much about it. But they never expected that this bad news would be news that was a catastrophe.
The Tumote tribe was an example when they were raided by the Ming cavalry. Thinking of their tribe, they might have the same fate as the Tumote tribe, and their eyes were all red.
Of course they hated the Ming cavalry. But what they hated even more was that the Qing princes Bell in front of them.
If they hadn't asked the elite army of the tribe to leave the tribe, even if the Ming cavalry came over, they would have resistance.
Also, since the Qing Dynasty knew that the Ming cavalry had killed him, why didn’t they go to rescue him? Why didn’t they notify them?
However, what they never expected was that before they were angry with the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon said to them again: "In this situation, I think your best way out is to come to Liaodong, and there is your place among the Eight Mongolian Banners. From then on, we will not distinguish between each other and are all members of the Qing Dynasty. How about it?"
The intention of this statement is very obvious. The Qing Dynasty wanted to take advantage of your illness to kill you and take advantage of this opportunity to annex the Mongolian tribes.
After understanding this, all the Mongolians became angry. However, before they could speak, Wu Keshan asked loudly: "Your Highness Regent, what you are talking about includes our Korqin tribe?"
In his opinion, the relationship between the Korqin tribe and the Qing Dynasty was extraordinary. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to annex the Mongolian tribe, it would not be possible that it would include his side, so this question was asked.
But who knew that Dorgon nodded without changing his face and responded: "You are right, our Qing Dynasty treats everyone equally."
Hearing this, Wu Keshan jumped up immediately, pointed at Dorgon and shouted loudly: "What if we don't agree?"
"Yes, what if we don't agree?" The other Mongolian leaders followed and agreed.
After hearing this, Dorgon just slapped the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer. Then he threw the cup in his hand down with force, making a "pop".
Immediately, a group of yellow jackets rushed in from outside, holding knives one by one, surrounding them.
Seeing this scene, all the Mongolians, including Wu Keshan, were stunned. Does this mean that if they disagree, they would kill people?
"I want to see your emperor, I want to see your empress dowager!" Wu Keshan came to his senses and immediately asked loudly, "I don't believe it. This is what the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty means! It must be that you are doing this with the emperor and the empress dowager on their backs!"
When the other Mongolian leaders heard this, they also shouted.
"What's wrong with us? You're going to treat this way?"
"I'm dedicated to doing your work for you and expeditions to North Korea. As a result, our tribe was attacked by a sneak attack, you still have to take advantage of the situation to rob and annex us. Do you have any allies like you?"
“…”
Seeing them like this, Haoge, who had been silent on the side, suddenly drew his sword and directly chopped over the Mongolian leader beside him.
A scream of "Ah" immediately scared all the Mongolian leaders.
The Qing Dynasty was not just scared, but really acted seriously, and those who were disobedient would be killed!
Seeing them like this, Dorgon sneered and said, "If you don't want to eat a toast, you can only blame him for yourself. Who else, who is unwilling to accept it and wants to eat a fine, stand up?"
“…”
No one spoke, no one stood up. Including Wu Keshan, he was also scared and did not dare to stand up. Because he had just looked at Dorgon and saw the murderous intent in Dorgon's eyes.
He knew that if he dared to stand up, Dorgon would never mind killing him to establish his authority.
He doesn't want to die, so he can only be silent.
After waiting for a while, Dorgon saw that no one dared to stand up, he actually smiled on his face, picked up a cup again, poured wine calmly, and then raised his glass to say to the Mongolian leaders: "Since everyone agrees, we will be a real family in the future. Come and toast!"
After saying that, he found that no one raised his glass, and sneered, "Did no one drink this toast?"
The implication is that you have to drink and drink.
Hearing this, the Mongolians, including Wu Keshan, finally raised their wine glasses.
After dealing with these Mongolian leaders, the next thing was easy to do. Jianlu was prepared for it, and immediately took advantage of the names of these Mongolian leaders to start dividing the elite Mongolian army outside the city, and then divided and disintegrated into the Mongolian Eight Banners.
Then, Jianlu sent troops out of the pass and went to the grassland to clean up the mess. Sure enough, at this time, no one could see the Ming cavalry, but only the corpses of the Mongols in one place.
It is obvious that after the Ming cavalry swept across the eastern grasslands, they had already returned to the pass.
But no matter what, after all, the grassland is boundless, and many Mongolians still escaped and were not killed by the Ming cavalry.
These people from various Mongolian tribes who escaped the disaster moved to Liaodong and became members of the Jianlu.
Dorgon's decisiveness not only resolved this crisis, but also annexed the Mongolian tribes and strengthened the strength of the Mongolian Eight Banners.
