CHAPTER XLIII

After receiving Yang Meng's order, Wu Tian, Zheng Xiong, and Tan Da immediately carried it out, leaving behind 200 wounded expeditionary troops, and they embarked on the journey. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

They had just walked on the front foot for two days, and Yang Meng also arrived at Orenburg on the back foot, and when he saw this fortified city, Yang Meng was very satisfied, and the people of the evil country built a castle for themselves.

This Orenburg holds the mouth of the Ori River, which can be said to be very important in terms of geographical location, and you can drive straight into the Volga steppe, and retreat, you can go straight to the Ural steppe.

In order to insure Orenburg, Yang Meng decided to artificially open several tributaries of the Orenburg River, so that Orenburg has moats on all sides.

The news of the expeditionary force's capture of Orenburg also quickly spread throughout the entire radius of hundreds of miles, and many Mongol descendants under the rule of the former Golden Horde poured over, and for them, their sense of identity with the Qing Dynasty was obviously stronger.

Among them was the Scherer Department of the former Turghut Division.

The Shelers originally lived in the Dzungar Khanate, but after the expeditionary force defeated the Dzungar Khanate with a thunderous force, the Shelers fled to the Kazakh steppes. However, the Shelle tribe was then squeezed out by the Kazakh Three Tents, and had no choice but to come to the Ural steppe, and was driven to the depths of the Ural Mountains by the evil people, and the tribe lived a very difficult life, and most of the cattle, sheep and livestock also died.

Receiving news that the expeditionary force had taken the Ural Valley and Orenburg, Scherer convened a meeting of the tribal elders and finally decided to defect to the expeditionary force.

Yang Meng was overjoyed and met with Scherer and his party in the administrative hall of Orenburg.

"Shelle of the Turghut tribe, I have seen the general!"

Scherer quickly put down his body and respectfully gave Yang a grassland salute. Now that the tribe needs Yang Meng to contain, although Scherer is the head of the department, he has to bend his waist.

Yang Meng smiled and said: "The leader doesn't need to be polite, the Turks are also my Chinese nation, this general has already sent people to the Volga steppe to rescue the Turks somewhere, or it won't be long before your entire Turkut tribe can be fused together." ”

Schelle said happily: "Thank you to the general, my Turkut tribe is grateful to the general today, if there is anything in his day, my Turkut tribe will definitely go all out!" ”

Yang Meng nodded and said: "This is very good, now, although Orenburg has been taken, but if the evil people come to attack with all their might, it will still be difficult for us to defend it, so this general plans to rebuild the moat, you Turk tribe has a lot of people, the leader of Scher can talk to them, let them help the general repair the moat, however, they do not repair in vain, each person 1 tael of silver a day, what does the leader of Scherer think?" ”

When Scherer heard this, he was even happier in his heart, secretly thinking that he didn't have many livestock now, and if all the tribes were grazing, they might not be able to share it.

Scherer immediately said: "The general's intentions, Scherer thinks so, Scherer will go back, notify the tribe to come, and let the general send it!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, the leader of Scherer is here to defect to General Schelle, General Ben should set up a banquet to entertain him, come on, the banquet is on the table, General Ben is going to get drunk with the leader of Scherer today!" Yang Meng said, and then ordered his soldiers to set up a drink, ready to have a big drink with Scherer.

"Thank you so much, General!"

Scheler is better to obey than to obey his orders, and answer the way now.

At the subsequent banquet, Yang Meng said: "Leader Schelle, now my Qing expeditionary force not only swept away the Dzungar Khanate, but also took most of the Kazakh steppe, and occupied Orenburg, and will soon attack the hinterland of the evil country. Leader Scheler, you should think carefully about your tribe, the development of the world has entered an era of rapid change, and the future of your Turghut tribe may be in your hands as the leader. ”

When Scherer heard this, he pondered for a long time, the Turgots inherited the blood of the Mongols, and they still had ambitions and ideas in their hearts.

But Yang Meng is right, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Evil Country, the strength is far stronger than that of the Turk Special Department, even if he joins forces with Ayuqi Khan, the strength is far behind.

Choosing a backer now is indeed a good policy.

Thinking of this, Schoeller said: "General, if the Turkut Department joins the Qing Dynasty, I don't know what the imperial court plans to do with us?" ”

"Your business is very simple, that is, as a member country of the Qing Dynasty, you can govern the country, you can call the shots, but the garrison must be the army of the Qing Dynasty, you just need to develop the economy with peace of mind and treat the tribes and tribes of other nationalities well." Yang Meng said lightly.

This policy is a bit like the national autonomy policy of another time and space, in terms of sovereignty, it is the same country as the Qing Dynasty, but you can make your own decisions about the affairs of your own tribe, except for military power.

Schoeller said happily: "What the general said, is it true? ”

"Of course it's true, General Ben is true of his word, and Long Live Lord also gives me autonomy, your business, General Ben is in charge." Yang Meng said.

Let the Turkut Department become a member state in the Ural steppe and the Volga steppe, which will be very helpful for Yang Meng to attack the evil country in the future.

The Turks are brave and good at fighting, and after receiving Yang Meng's favor, they will definitely help Yang Meng fight the evil people in the future.

This is a big investment for Yang Meng.

Scherer got up and said, "In this way, Scherer is willing to obey the general's orders, and if Ayuqi Khan is also willing, the entire Turghut tribe will obey the general's orders." If Ayuqi Khan is unwilling, Schelle is willing to lead his troops for the general to send! ”

Scherer has been moved by the system that Yang Meng said, and he is in charge of his own affairs, and there is the protection of the Qing army, this kind of good thing is simply the best opportunity for development for the Turks who withered during the day.

The allegiance of the Scherer Department made Yang Meng very happy in his heart.

He immediately authorized Scherer to take charge of the formation of the Great Qing Turghut Confederation, whose leader would have to wait for news from Ayuqi Khan.

And because of the arrival of the Turks, the reconstruction of Orenburg was also quickly on the right track, and the city defense army, by the third Orenburg general, also recruited Turkuts and Kazakhs into the city defense army, responsible for the protection of Orenburg.

----------------------------- Dividing Line-------------------------

In the capital, it took more than 20 days for the prisoners of the evil country to arrive in the capital.

Prince Yinren did not come to participate in the capture ceremony, and with Yang Meng's good news again and again, the court is now accustomed to this.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen were captured together, and the hearts of the two were both happy and worried.

The joy is that Yang Meng continued to win battles, greatly raising the prestige of the Qing Dynasty; The worry is that Yang Meng will not listen to the call and form a resistance to his succession.

When all the prisoners of the evil country were escorted to Xuanwumen, Yinxi said: "Fourth brother, come on, the younger brother can take a look." ”

"Eighth child, let's come together, since Huang Ama ordered you and me to be captured together, you are also duty-bound, I will read out Huang Amma's will in a while, and you announce the reward for Yang Meng." Yin Zhen said.

"Alright then, little brother obeys." Yinxi said.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Yinzhen picked up a horsewhip and struck a loud shot at the prisoners of the evil country, and then said: "The evil country is the country of demons, Chen Bing and I are on the border of the black dragon of the Qing Dynasty, and its wolf ambition can be imagined, I sent an expeditionary force in the Qing Dynasty, intended to punish the people of the evil country, and now the punishment has worked, the people of the evil country are not the opponents of my Qing warriors at all, if the people of the evil country do not go back, my Qing warriors will definitely uproot you, and when the time comes, let you have nowhere to live!" ”

All the prisoners of the evil country were silent, although they did not believe that the so-called expeditionary force of the Qing army could destroy the evil country, but they still admired their combat effectiveness very much.

After Yinzhen finished speaking, Yinzhen said: "Huang Ama has a purpose: to break the capture of the general Yang Meng in a series of battles, powerful all over the world, specially named him a loyal and brave marquis, all captives will be rewarded as their slaves, a yellow coat, and 100,000 taels of gold, Qin this!" ”

Yes, the title has finally been upgraded by one level, and now, Yang Meng is already a marquis.

Ruolan held her big belly, bowed slightly, and thanked her: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”
