According to Sima An's intention, it is roughly the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty treated the Horqin tribe.
Let him benefit from being attached to Da Qin, while imposing control over him and making him his younger brother without actually annexing him.
In this way, the influence of Great Qin was basically projected to the entire Monan through the Horqin and Sutni tribes. If anyone disobeys, gather two troops to attack him. This is generally similar to the way the Manchus dealt with Mongolia before.
The only difference is that Da Qin wants to truly bring the Horqin tribe under its control and no longer treat it with a policy of restraint.
This is an opening, and when the time is right, this opening will be expanded bit by bit.
However, the inclusion of Horqin under the rule of the Qin Dynasty is still only a consensus reached by Qin Mu and his ministers. To turn it into a fact, some means need to be used.
First, Qin Mu ordered the generals at the court meeting to let Meng Ke lead 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry out of the border to strengthen control of Liaodong and put greater pressure on Horqin.
After the court meeting, Qin Mu summoned Sima An and Meng Ke to the Yangxin Hall for a small-scale discussion. After clarifying the details of the entire plan, he sent Gannan, the young minister of Honglu Temple, as envoy to Mongolia and summoned the leaders of various Mongolian ministries to come to Beijing. Sealed.
Of course, this is just a diplomatic mission on Gannan's stage. If it's private, it depends on Gannan's methods.
Horqin seemed to have become a key point in Qin's Mongolian policy, but Wu Keshan did not know this at this time.
Autumn is here in Horqin Grassland, and the wind on the grassland has already brought a hint of coolness...
Wu Keshan sent his son and daughter Meng Guqing to Shenyang. Zhou Yun expressed some goodwill, but refused to send troops to help Horqin deal with Dorji, the leader of the Ujimqin tribe, and Sebu, the right-wing banner of the Bahrain tribe, citing the weak military strength in Liaodong. Teng, left wing flag Man Zhu Xili attacked from three sides.
This made Wu Keshan restless. He thought that Ning Yuan and Zhou Yun clearly refused to let go of the Horqin tribe. After all, Horqin and the Manchus were tied too tightly before, and Horqin's role in entering the border was indispensable.
He didn't ask for many reinforcements. As long as the Qin army came with a few hundred or even dozens of people to show their support for Horqin, it would be enough to make Dorji, Hanbuteng, and Manzhu Xili have some scruples. Zhou Yunhe Ningyuan refused on the grounds that Liaodong's troops were weak, which was clearly an excuse.
Bier Tahar sent his sister Meng Guqing away, but did not get any reinforcements in exchange. This made him both ashamed and angry.
It's just that the situation Horqin faced was dangerous enough. If he fell out with Da Qin again, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.
At this time, Teng Jitai of the Suteni tribe led his troops to the Laoha River area and was approaching the Horqin Grassland;
If Horqin joins the Sutenni tribe again, Horqin will have to deal with the siege of four evil wolves at the same time. How can he cope with this
Wu Keshan was worried and said to Bier Tahar: "Son, you should go to Shengjing again."
"Father, are you still going? What's the point of going? Zhou Yun has made it very clear that Horqin should accept the rule of the Qin Dynasty. How can we agree to this? I would rather cede the west of Bayangling to Manzhu Xili ”
"Son, Zhou Yun can ask for a lot of money. We can also pay back the money on land. Manzhu Xili has obtained the pasture west of Bayangling. Do you think he will really deal with Dorji and the others with Horqin
No, he would just sit on the sidelines at most, if Dorji and the others gained an advantage. Manzhu Xili will still come together to carve up our Horqin. My child, Da Qin’s price may be higher, but no matter what. It is better than being swallowed up by various ministries. In the current situation, we can't count on anything else. "
The father and son were discussing when a tribesman suddenly came to report that He Luo would come with 900 remaining soldiers to surrender to Horqin. Wu Keshan's first thought was to turn them away to avoid offending Great Qin.
But then, he changed his mind and personally took people to greet He Luohui.
He Luohui was miserable enough. Yanjing was captured. He and the troops stationed in Ning Taiyuan were so frightened that they hurriedly evacuated Taiyuan and fled northward;
Although there were no obstacles on the way, the demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty made everyone panic like a lost dog. In addition, they had long heard that once captured by the Qin army, they would be sent to hard labor until death. There were many people along the way. He fled alone to avoid being targeted by the Qin army.
When He Luohui escaped all the way out of the Great Wall, there were even more people fleeing alone. He Luohui looked around at a loss. He could not go back to Liaodong. There were hundreds of people left, looking at the vast grassland, but there was no Their place of refuge.
In the end, He Luohui chose to defect to Horqin. After all, Horqin's tribe had the best relationship with the Manchus in the past.
As soon as Wu Keshan greeted him, he couldn't help but said with tears in his eyes: "General Shiqi, you came just in time, you came just in time, the Qing Dynasty... Alas! Ever since the news came that Prince Yu's army was annihilated, Dorji Three jackals, Sebuteng and Manzhu Xili, pounced on me and wanted to carve up Horqin, so that I was unable to enter the border to meet the regent. Now Horqin's tribe is also in danger and has lost its general. Don't you have an army of more than 10,000 people? What’s going on with only these thousand men and horses left?”
"It's a long story. Your Majesty, please give us some food first. We haven't eaten for two days." He Luohui looked miserable and wanted to die.
"Ah!" Wu Keshan exclaimed, and quickly asked his son Bier Tahar to take He Luohui's soldiers to resettle him. He led He Luohui back to the king's tent. The king's tent was covered with fine carpets and luxurious interior furnishings. .
It is said that Horqin produces beauties, which is not true. Most other Mongolian women have round faces. Horqin seems to be the only exception. Horqin women tend to have long faces. Several maids in the tent all have typical melon-seed faces and look very delicate. But He Luo I would be so hungry that my eyesight would be blurry and I wouldn’t be able to look any further.
Wu Keshan asked people to bring roasted whole lamb and mare's kumiss in a hurry, and then repeatedly persuaded them to drink.
He Luohui was hungry and full of wounds from the country's subjugation. Without his persuasion, He Luohui bit into the barbecue and drank a large bowl of thirsty wine, and soon he became very drunk.
After confirming that He Luohui was drunk and unconscious, Wu Keshan called his son Bier Tahar and planned to ask him to take He Luohui to Shengjing to offer it to Da Qin in exchange for Da Qin sending troops to help.
But Ertahar said: "Father, take He Luohui to Shengjing. What if the Qin people ask for He Luohui's men and horses?"
Wu Keshan originally planned to annex the 900 troops brought by He Luohui. After Bi'er Tahar reminded him, Wu Keshan also felt that the Qin people were likely to make such a request;
Horqin now only has 6,000 troops left, and he needs to strengthen his strength. Wu Keshan is really unwilling to hand over the 900 troops that He Luohui brought.
It's just that paper can't contain the fire. If He Luohui is not handed over, Da Qin will definitely use this as an excuse to attack Horqin.
Horqin Cao borders the Liaodong border wall to the east, and his royal tent is only three to four hundred miles away from Shenyang. The Qin Dynasty even destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it still couldn't destroy Horqin
In the midst of the dilemma, another tribesman hurried to the big tent to report: "Your Majesty, Gushan'er Zhenheli led two thousand tribesmen. They were chased by pincers and had nowhere to go. Horqin has defected to me."
A He Luohui has already put Wu Keshan in a difficult position. What should I do if another Heli comes
"Son, forget it. Let's welcome Heli in first. Everything should be done as before. Control Heli and his tribe first."
"Yes, Father."
Bi'er Tahar was a little excited. No matter what Great Qin's plan was, annexing Heluo and Heli's two or three thousand troops first would greatly increase Horqin's strength. When the time comes, he would have more bargaining chips with Great Qin.
The father and son then sang together again, as if they were meeting an old friend in times of trouble. With tears in their eyes, they sincerely welcomed Heli into the Horqin Banner. Herry's condition was no better than Hollow's situation.
He Luohui escaped all the way and no one was chasing him, but Heli was chased by Zhebai and Tian Heng and was miserable. He was about to be overtaken at Jianshan Gate, and Heli was ready to surrender. However, a heavy rain suddenly came, causing the stream below the mountain to swell, and Heli had the opportunity to temporarily shake off his pincers.
When the Qing Dynasty fell, Heli, like He Luohui, the first thing he thought of was to seek refuge with his once closest partner;
He also had 2,600 people, all of whom looked panicked, and some even lost their armor. Everyone was extremely moved to see Wu Keshan's parents and son, who missed their old friendship and came to pick them up in person. But little did they expect that Wu Keshan and his son had already dug a hole waiting for them.
Zhibai and Tian Heng chased him for half a month, but they still failed to annihilate Heli. Wu Keshan and his son only used a few roasted sheep and a few pots of Ma Ma wine to easily solve the problem.
He Luohui and Heli had taken it, but how to deal with it became a difficult problem for the father and son.
