Chapter 580: The Awkward Chahar Khanate
"Lord, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" As soon as Polo Chi entered the barracks, he smiled and greeted Liu Hong.
"What kind of wind is this that blows Mr. Pineapple here, drag your blessing, this king eats it so fragrant!
Walk! Accounting Narrative! Anyway, you have to be a coincidence, in half an hour, even the king's big tent will have to be dismantled. ”
Although he was deeply surprised by Polochi's visit, after all, he was an old acquaintance, and he had earned a lot of money from others, and Liu Hong gradually became very enthusiastic.
"The prince's conquest of the Rakshasa country this time, and such a vast territory for the Ming Dynasty, is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!" After entering the tent and taking a seat, Polochi praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, don't say that, the main purpose of this king is to exterminate the remnants of Jiannu, and by the way, to drive out the Tartars for the vassal state." Liu Hong gradually said humbly, but he was still suspected of pretending to be forced to say this.
He also wants to keep a low profile, but his strength doesn't allow it, Liu Hong gradually said.
"What is Mr. Pineapple doing here? You can also see that tens of thousands of my soldiers are waiting outside! Liu Hong gradually said again.
"Hehe, although the prince is to exterminate Jiannu this time, but it has also indirectly solved the crisis of my Chahar Khanate, Abnei Khan is grateful and wants to thank him in person, and he specially ordered contemptible people to invite him, hoping that the prince will be willing to appreciate it."
Polochi arched his way in the direction of the Chahar Khanate to the west.
"The king of Abunai Khan's kindness has been understood, but now he really can't get out! I'm so sorry. Liu Hong gradually arched his hand to apologize.
Not to mention that he is in a hurry to return to Beijing, as an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can he dare to go to another country without his uncle's edict, if he is remembered by someone with a heart, it will be a few boxes of bullets to impeach him.
No matter how big his heart is, no matter how much his uncle trusts him, he can't die by himself!
Moreover, the ancient capital of Menggu is like a bird, and there are all kinds of food in Babala, so you can't run to Kulen (the capital of the Chahar Khanate).
"I see if you have something unspeakable, we have known each other for a long time, and if you have something to say, it will be done!" Liu Hong gradually saw that Polo Chi seemed to be a little embarrassed on his face, and knew that this guy didn't specifically invite him to Kulun to eat delicious food.
There must be something difficult that I want to ask him for help.
"Alas, you can't hide anything from the prince, you can't hide it, the contemptible people are entrusted by the Great Khan of Abnai, and I hope that the prince can restrain the governor of the ancient province of your country, Babala."
Polochi stood up, bowed, and said solemnly.
"What the hell is going on, you explain it?" Liu Hong gradually became angry.
Whether it is the ancient people of the League or the Jurchens, as long as they learn Confucianism a lot, they will always become grinding and chirping, and Liu Hongjian can't stand this the most.
"Back to the prince, Abunai Khan hopes that your country will refuse to accept my Chahar subjects." Polo bent down and said.
After more than a year of rectification by the Empress Dowager Sutai and him, the Chahar Khanate has initially stabilized the situation, and there has been no fighting for more than a year, and it is said that the population should grow steadily, but this is not the case.
In more than a year, instead of growing, the population has decreased by nearly 100,000, and people are needed for war and grazing, which is too great a blow to the Chahar Khanate.
Later, after many investigations, it was found that many herdsmen from the Chahar Khanate tribes had quietly moved eastward and moved into the Menggu Province of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason is also very simple, one is the same root, the big guys are all ancient people, with a common language and habits, it is nothing more than that the pasture is not in the same place.
The second is security, how powerful the Ming Dynasty is now, Jiannu has been beaten into a real minority, and the national strength is strong.
The third is to become a subject of the Ming Dynasty, and you can exchange cattle and sheep for rice and grain at a more affordable price.
Last but not least, the governor of Menggu, Babala, did not refuse outsiders.
He needs manpower too much, the population of the ancient province of Nuoda is not more than one million, and people are needed for mining, garrison, and people are needed for reclamation on the side of Feng Dunhou, the governor of the northeast next to him.
Babala's guy even quietly sent his subordinates to pull people's heads, and the people sent were all eloquent people, who said that the Ming Dynasty was crazy, the army was invincible, and the Ming Emperor was the holy lord of a thousand years......
The ancient men of Menggu are sincere, so even the crutches are blown, where to graze is not grazing? Moreover, at this time, there was no border guard in later generations to keep an eye on the national border.
At first, Sutai and Polochi could bear it, after all, the border between Chahar and Daming Menggu Province was so big, and the herdsmen of the Great Wall of Daming couldn't get through, so they only needed to send some cavalry to defend the point day and night.
But when the Ming Dynasty signed an armistice treaty with the Rakshasa Kingdom, Polochi learned the content of the treaty through many ways, but he could no longer sit still.
According to the provisions of the treaty, the Lena River, the Kuda River, and the east of the Ergou River, including Lake Baikal, were all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and almost two-thirds of the territory of their Chakhar Khanate was included by the Ming Dynasty.
To the north and east are bordered by Daming, and there are still large areas of fertile pastures, the key is that there are not many people to graze, how to prevent this?
If he didn't ask the Ming court to intervene, Polochi would bet that within three years, half of the population of his Chahar Khanate would be lost, and the country would not be a country!
"Well, that's a problem, this baba is just too much, hehe...... Aha. Liu Hong gradually wanted to laugh, he felt that he was professionally trained to control it, but he didn't do it.
Lao Ba is a talent! This king really underestimated him.
"Lord Wang, you ...... Please also see that for the sake of the covenant between your country and Chahar, please ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to prohibit outsiders from entering the country! Polo Chi saw that Liu Hong was gradually like this, and his heart was even more depressed.
"Don't worry, this king will go to the Mongolian governor later, and this king will definitely reprimand him, and when this king returns to the capital, he will also make a suggestion to my majesty." Liu Hong gradually said sincerely.
There is no shortage of people in Daming, in fact, although there have been several wars, natural disasters and plagues, there are at least sixty or seventy million people in Daming Pass, which is enough to make all the countries of Europa tremble.
The problem that needs to be solved urgently is the concept of the Han people, the Han people's concept of the countryside is too heavy, even if they are miserable and poor in a place, as long as they do not starve to death, they do not like to leave their homeland to emigrate, in the final analysis, this pot has to be carried by Confucianism.
It seems that we have to think of ideas in the future, and we must solve the problem from the root, Liu Hong gradually said in his heart.
"If this is the case, the contemptible people have thanked the prince on behalf of the Great Khan of our country." Polochi naturally felt Liu Hongji's sincerity, and bowed down very sincerely to thank him.
"Well, that's it for now, this king still has important things to do, so he will stay with Mr. Pineapple soon." Tens of thousands of troops were waiting outside, and Liu Hongjian didn't want to waste time, he had to rush to Horqin before dark.
"Uh...... The contemptible person also has a reluctant request. Polochi hesitated for a moment, and said very embarrassedly.
