Chapter 380. Dongjiang, profiteers!
After two huge military groups in Northeast Asia collided violently, they finally returned to silence again. In August of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Yalu Riverside City had been closed for more than five months. Finally, the Yalu Riverside City opened again, and on the first day of its opening, the largest transaction in history was ushered in.
People change animals.
To be honest, Mao Jue didn't want to exchange the prisoners back at the beginning. The biggest shortcoming of the Qing people was the population. Eating his 50,000 or 60,000 prisoners would be equivalent to taking half of his life. However, it took two months. These Jurchens and Mongols were really unbearable. They were clumsy than those Japanese slaves who worked. If it were the workers in Dongjiang, two months and two roads were renovated twice, they would be fine. They had not finished the tofu and shit. Mao Jue was so angry that he simply withdrew the prisoners and replaced them with his own workers and continued to do it.
However, not everyone in the Qing Dynasty redeemed it, so all the Manchu Eight Banners were naturally redeemed. The Mongolian Eight Banners and important Manchu Mongolian allies were not left behind. The Han Eight Banners picked up healthy and healthy redemption, and added one, almost 60,000 prisoners, and the Qing army only redeemed more than 35,000.
As for those coats, the Mongolians in the small tribes were completely abandoned.
The big flag of Dongjiang and Huang Taiji's Huanglong flag were inserted on both sides of the Yalu River. In the past few months, Mao Jue actually ordered the construction of an iron bridge. There were huge steel beams on the concrete piers, and four huge bridge columns covered with paint were hung with more than a dozen steel cables dragging the bridge deck. The industrial level of Dongjiang is vividly reflected on this bridge, and the Qing people who were still in the semi-slave feudal era looked like looking at monsters.
The exchange was also carried out on the bridge. The selected prisoner walked along the right side of the bridge across the Yalu River, and the horses and mules that were exchanged walked back from the left.
The burnt Yalu Riverside City was also rebuilt, and two high platforms were built there, which were reserved for Huang Taiji and Mao Jue to use. The exchange has not been completed yet, and there are only Qing people here for the time being.
Looking at the coming and going, Abatai still smiled disdainfully and whispered to Dorgon.
"This Mao Manzi is really stupid. I don't want the manor in Jinzhou. I want that bitter and cold place. And he really dares to exchange people for a while. Hum, wait! Let's wait! Let's wait for the whole year or two, and the men from Jianzhou will teach him who is the master of Dongjiang Minggou!"
“Not that simple!”
While speaking, Huang Taiji shook his head solemnly.
"Isn't this Tieyi Hamkyung Road, which Dongjiang now occupied, a bitter and cold place before, but what's the difference now? Is this the case in the Central Plains? Before that, the ancestors of Jin also developed between the white mountains and black waters. If they demand such a large land, this guy has a lot of ambitions!"
"Besides, Mao Dongjiang probably won't return the person so easily!"
Today, Huang Taiji really became a crow's mouth. When he spoke, Fan Wencheng, Oboi and several generals ran back in anger and knelt on the ground.
"Emperor! He was cheated by Mao Dongjiang! All my Qing dynasties..., all..."
"Take me there!"
With a tight expression, Huang Taiji led the imperial guards to hurry over with a few soldiers.
Not to mention, Mao Jue really used an old method of being unethical and smoking. As soon as he got off the bridge by the river, a group of Eight Banners knelt down in tears, and kowtowed to Huang Taiji tragically, stretched out one of them, looked at the soldiers' hands, Huang Taiji's fat face darkened again, and even became excited by anger, his breath became hot again.
The man's thumbs were cut off by Qi Gen! Just like the hundreds of regular blue flags that Mao Jue released back after the last battle in Yizhou.
This damage move was what Mao Jue learned about Caesar when conquering Gaul. None of the five fingers of a person is more important than a thumb. When clenching his fist, only the thumb is balanced on one side. Without a thumb, don’t think about pulling the heavy bow anymore, and the grip of the hand has been reduced by more than half. It is even more difficult to slash like before, and it is easy to be shot down by the opponent.
Even carrying a hoe and doing farm work in the future was difficult. It can be said that Mao Jue has returned more than 30,000 strong, and has become more than 30,000 useless people!
"Brave faith and shameless Dongjiang dog thief!"
Even with mental preparation, Huang Taiji was still so angry that his face shivered and roared furiously. Who knew that this skill would add fuel to the fire and follow him down from the iron bridge. Song Xiance, the guy who kicked the mule in a low voice, came to greet him.
"Song has met the commander of Jianzhou Guard, all the masters of Jianzhou, what's wrong?"
"Dog guy, you dare to come! Shameless villain, you actually harmed our Qing soldiers so much!"
Oboi went up and grabbed Song Xiance's neck and roared in anger. He heard the sound of the bridge. Song Xiance's ears were buzzing. It was rare that he had an amazing temper today, so he quickly smiled and waved his hands.
"This is a work that's not done! You can't support them in vain when you're in Dongjiang!"
"Hey! Sir, don't be excited! Otherwise, don't change it? You drive the person back here, and my general will drive the horse and mule back there?"
Huang Taiji really wanted to nod. But in the trembling eyes of a group of Eight Banners, it was extremely difficult. If he almost squeezed out from his teeth, he finally shook his fat head heavily.
"Continue to exchange!"
It's still a matter of personal thought. Fighting with Dongjiang is now unsure. If it doesn't change, who will dare to fight bravely once the battle is fought in the future? Wouldn't it be a dead end if you are captured? Besides, there are many Eight Banners here and many Mongolian tribes. If it doesn't change, Huang Taiji will be hated by the family of these people. Even though he knows it's a big pit, Huang Taiji will have to jump in. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a red nose bleeding spurted out from his breath. He covered his nose and turned around quickly. The wise and wise Tartar master was quickly taken out by his command.
Seeing the fat figure in the bright yellow robe, Song Xiance was really surprised. Before coming, Mao Jue had instructed him to observe Huang Taiji to see if he had symptoms of nosebleeds, which he guessed.
After a moment of surprise, a gloomy smile appeared on Song Datou's huge face again.
Be angry! Be angry! It’s better to be angry to death earlier! Without you! The prosperous Jianzhou Jurchens must also decline in a flash like Tumot back then!
The exchange lasted for more than a day, but after the replacement, he waited for another half an hour before Huang Taiji appeared and presided over the oath with Dongjiang. Although the sky was much dimmed, he could clearly see that his face became much pale under the illumination of the brazier.
The covenant was recited by Mao Jue and Huang Taiji. The content of the covenant was the brothers' gang, and they would never violate each other. However, this peace contract could last for several years. Mao Jue and Huang Taiji knew in their minds that there would be a battle between the Qing Dynasty and Dongjiang in the morning and evening. At that time, one of the two families could only survive in this cold land of Liaodong!
There is still a highlight after the swearing, that is allegiance!
Nurhaci started his business by conquering the vast majority of the Jurchen tribes and unifying the Jurchen tribes. But now, the Jurchen tribes have once again split. After the Huang Taiji edict cedes all the land north of the Songhua River to Dongjiang, more than 40 tribe chiefs of the Haixi Jurchens knelt on the ground with fear and declared their allegiance to their new masters.
In fact, according to Dongjiang's strength, Huang Taiji's consent was not required at all. Mao Jue could lead his army to forcibly invade Heilongjiang, but at this time, Heilongjiang was really wilderness. Seeing that there were many more than 30 tribes scattered in the vast Northern Wilderness, the population density may not be as high as that of Tibet in later generations. If we want to fight against these Jurchen tribes, Mao Jue would have to spend a lot of effort, unlike now, where they kneel at their feet.
More than a dozen braziers illuminated the radius, and the night was approaching very deep. In the fierce fire, the Qing army stopped and retreated in a low morale. Although the peace agreement was signed with the Dongjiang River, it was estimated that Huang Taiji would not sleep well on the side of the Yalu River, so the Qing army would rather go to the night.
The firelight also illuminated Mao Jue's face, watching these people wearing Dongjiang prison clothes, and their hands were not adapted to each other. The back, which was a little twisted, gradually disappeared from sight. His young face also showed a cunning smile like an old fox who was only older.
The business goals of the past few years have been achieved in front of us, and the rest is Mao Jue’s favorite, which has been built from scratch.
The leaders of the Haixi Jurchens were still kneeling at their feet. The oldest of these guys was over fifty years old, and the youngest was thirty years old. They looked even older with animal skin hats, but they were all panicked like children. They were abandoned here by the Qing people, and they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move at all.
This is also the effect Mao Jue wants. If he wants to shock these vicious nations between the white mountains and black waters, he can only be more vicious and cruel than them, making them afraid and then performing benevolent policies to win people's hearts. Otherwise, just giving money and cloth like the Ming Dynasty would only make him feel cowardly, and in turn, he would be extremely vicious to ask for more.
He stood up suddenly, and the handle of the flintlock rifle in his hand hit the wooden board of the swearing platform under his feet. As the chiefs Beller shivered, Mao Jue roared murderously.
"On September 28th, all tribes gathered in Vladivostok and were on standby, and they would accept the ban of this general. If they were not allowed, they would be exterminated!"
Amid the murderous call, the bearded chief Beller shivered in a trembling manner, and then they knocked their heads to the ground.
"Abide by the order!"
…………
When Mao Jue issued an order on the Yalu River, there was also a face that was sunny under the fire in the deep palace grid of the Forbidden City in the capital. However, compared to the cunning but full-hearted face of Mao Jue's old fox, this face was shriveled, pale, and thick dark circles, even thicker Jiangnan powder could not be covered, and the corners of the mouth were twitching like a dog that wanted to bite people.
Finally, Chongzhen burst out suddenly, and he smashed his fist hard on Yu'an in anger. A lot of memorials fell to the ground with a crackling sound, gritting his teeth, and the emperor roared in anger.
"This traitor!"
Chapter completed!
