"I dare not do a humble position." Xu Hanfeng said modestly.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "Since you know the reason and the summary is so concise, I think you have more thoughts. Do you think you should deal with these Mongolian tribes."

Xu Hanfeng hurriedly said: "I thought that Shandong would win a decisive battle, and our country would first stabilize the Central Plains, the northwest and Huguang. However, General Pei defeated all Mongolian troops at Balin Bridge, which gave our country a good opportunity to control the southern desert. As long as the southern desert is obtained, the Qing Dynasty will successfully escape to the northern desert and even the Western Regions, which will be a border trouble and will not hurt the fundamentals!

The humble official believes that it is still mainly about recruiting and pacification. The great victory of Balin Bridge is enough to prove our country's strength in fighting on the grasslands and has also damaged the confidence of the Mongolian tribes in the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the third step is to change it first. Your Highness can issue a great order to all the ministries outside the border to avoid the crime of aiding evil, recruit pacifying the feudal seal, and recognize their existing interests so that the southern desert and the Qing Dynasty will break up. By that time, the tribes will submit and divide again, and will not lose their interests.

The second is the religious policy of the Huang Cult. After graduating from the Military Academy, he has been studying Mongolia and has a lot of knowledge about the Huang Cult. He found that the Huang Cult is quite similar to my local Buddhism and Taoism. He is willing to obey secular regimes and have many policy of change in the face of power and interests. He studied the policies between the Huang Cult and the Qing Dynasty and found that it not only did not hinder the Qing Dynasty from ruling Mongolia, but also assisted the Qing Dynasty in ruling Mongolia. Instead, he could have a policy of lenient exemption for the Huang Cult and used it for our country."

He Wenxi said: "Is that too indulging in Mongolia to achieve long-term and practical control?"

Xu Hanfeng hurriedly said, "Sir He, the actual rule is a long-term plan, and it cannot be achieved overnight. If the handling is done properly, you can eat Mo Nan first and digest it. If you cannot seize this opportunity, you can only stabilize the border wall first. After the country's great stability, you will have to go to the south of Mo Nan for five years and eight years of hard work. The Qing Dynasty will take the opportunity to harass the border wall, and waste resources and are unbearable."

"I'm afraid that domestic public opinion will not allow it." He Wenxi did not feel embarrassed when Xu Hanfeng's rebuttal, and said with a smile.

Xu Hanfeng hurriedly said: "Public opinion is not allowed. It was established as early as the Jilin Appeasement Zone and was not allowed when it was recruited to pacify Mandahai. Why should it be now?"

Li Mingxun smiled: "Public opinion is not a problem."

At the beginning of the pursuit of Mandahai was also a test of domestic public opinion. To put it bluntly, at the moment when the United States made a great march, the domestic businessmen wanted to swallow the interests. The officials thought about the promotion of traditional Han areas. The people who should have hated the Central Plains most were the people of the Central Plains. After a long war, they also wanted to be stable and recuperate as soon as possible. In addition to the explosion of face-to-face with enemies, they would just find the account after eating and drinking. This is also the reason why Li Mingxun believes that public opinion is not a problem. When the people in China want to have a hatred issue, they have to wait for the completion of the Qing Dynasty. It will take several years.

Xu Hanfeng was very happy to receive the support of Li Mingxun. Li Mingxun asked: "How many people are familiar with the Huang Cult policy like you, the attendant's office is familiar with Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty and the Huang Cult policy?"

"In addition to humble positions, there are two more."

"Does there any commander, the Army Staff or other departments have similar interests to you?" Li Mingxun asked again.

Xu Hanfeng hurriedly said: "Because the mainland battlefield involves Mongolia, the consul once dispatched ten administrative officers familiar with Mongolia to the commander-in-chief, but they were immediately split."

Li Mingxun said: "Okay, this is enough. You are the main one. Set up a policy research group on Mongolia under the servant's room and find twenty people to do this."

Xu Hanfeng was very happy: "Okay, I'll do it now and submit the list tomorrow."

Li Mingxun shook his head, picked up the coat on the hanger, and said, "No need to submit the list. You go to the commander's headquarters and recruit people first and give you four hours. After lunch, we will set off immediately and head to Bahrain Bridge."

He Wenxi was shocked: "Your Highness, are you going to go out to the northern expedition?"

Li Mingxun nodded: "It seems that I have a low fever. Whenever there is something big, I will wake up immediately. I will recruit King Jin and recruit the capital to reconcile the capital. I will discuss the matter of Cao Yu gathering the guards cavalry division, gathering 10,000 cavalry, and setting out in the afternoon."

"But such a big thing... Your Highness, the capital will be restored soon, you have something more important." He Wenxi stopped Li Mingxun.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "Do you say you are ascending the throne and becoming emperor? You have to wait until the veteran congressmen arrive before talking. Besides, don't the capital be cleaned up? I don't want to continue waiting here. You said that the Northern Expedition is not the Northern Expedition, it can only be considered a hunting. Okay, go and do it. With you and the King of Jin, I don't feel at ease?"

Seeing that Li Mingxun refused to give in, He had to respond. Li Mingxun said, "By the way, there must be Huang Cult Lama in the capital. If you can find a few, you can ask Jidumandahai to send a few. I will use it."

Half a month later, beside the Bahrain Bridge.

Li Mingxun wrapped his cloak tightly, got off the horse, waved his hand to the general who was about to show his respects, stepped on the mud and entered the tent. Finally, the rain with snow was allowed to flow into his neck. Li Mingxun muttered, "It's March, why are there still sleet? The strange weather."

After entering the big tent, Li Mingxun took off his cloak and asked someone to go to the fire to bake, saying, "Go, get a bowl of tea, don't have milk tea, you're too tired."

Drinking rough tea, Li Mingxun sat on a chair and listened to Pei Chengyi's report: "The captives have been stable and there is no trouble, but Bat, Bayin and others reported the news. They chased and wiped out the remnants of the Qing army and captured a lot. Not only did they capture many Manchu and Mongolian nobles, but they also recruited Mongolian tribes with several flags along the way. Only no trace of the Qing emperor was found. The roads across the Xing'an Mountains were sent, but no trace was found. The last one should die, and the Qing emperor was not captured."

Li Mingxun waved his hand and knew that Pei Chengyi was blaming himself. In his first good news, he promised to capture the Qing Emperor soon and present it to the capital. Li Mingxun asked: "Do you know why you didn't catch the Qing Emperor?"

Pei Chengyi shook his head, and Li Mingxun said, "You think that in the Battle of Balin Bridge, the Qing army was defeated, and even the elite Gebush Xianhachao was destroyed by you. The Qing emperor would definitely retreat to Mobei in a hurry. In fact, you underestimate the old woman Bumubutai and Sony. These two people know very well that without the Monan tribe, you can't balance the Mobei tribe. If you can't balance Mobei, there will be no place for the Qing royal family to stand. Therefore, they will definitely not flee north, but will go west to Guihua City, gathering the tribes there, and then going north to Mobei."

"Looking west?" Pei Chengyi's expression changed.

Li Mingxun said indifferently: "Okay, this is all a trivial matter. The life and death of the Qing emperor are not important at all. Anyway, are there any Qing Dynasty who will go to the northern part of Mobei? With the Qing emperor here, it can still allow him to join the northern part of Mobei and give us a chance to catch up with it. If you don't mention this, how is the morale of your soldiers?"

Pei Chengyi said honestly: "Morethy is not high. Fortunately, he won the battle of Balin Bridge, otherwise the general would have to retreat to Liaodong. The soldiers were not seriously injured, but there were too many soldiers and horses, and at least 50% of the soldiers died. Moreover, this place is too far from Liaodong, so the military supplies cannot keep up. In the past half month, the three meals soldiers had eaten, and the food and dry vegetables were decreasing, and meat and dairy products increased. The soldiers were not comfortable, but the rest were not used. In addition, the frozen rain, and many people were sick. The soldiers became emotional and worried that they would continue to attack north or advance west."

Li Mingxun waved his hand: "There is no large-scale military operation. I have ordered the command to send military supplies here, at least tea is indispensable."

"Yes, what soldiers want most is tea! This can relieve the tiredness." Pei Chengyi smiled.

"How did the captured Mongols settle?" Li Mingxun asked.

"The noble chiefs and soldiers were all concentrated in the prisoner camp, and ordinary herders were organized according to one hundred and fifty households and one assistant leader. A total of 240 free civil servants and 65 slave servants (formerly nobles, Ha Richie's family's small family). In addition to rewarding the generals with meritorious vassals, there were 220 free civil servants and subordinates under direct jurisdiction. There were too many cattle and sheep, so they had to be distributed to these assistants first to avoid freezing too many. The last general meant to settle in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, otherwise many cattle and sheep would definitely die." Pei Chengyi said.

Li Mingxun was still satisfied with Pei Chengyi's handling. He called Xu Hanfeng and said, "Take the people in the attendants to take the sergeant to count them, and give priority to counting the situation of the sergeant's men. Then see how many Han people there are in each tribe, whether they are bought and sold, brought by the Qing court to marry, or loot, they and their families have counted them."

"I heard that several Mongolian chiefs surrendered to us, how many people were?" Li Mingxun asked.

Pei Chengyi made a step forward and gave up Yuan Kaiwen. He has been in charge of pacification in the Liaodong Military Control District. After conquering the grassland, he was responsible for such matters. Yuan Kaiwen said: "Your Highness, after the Battle of Balin Bridge, the Emperor of Qing disappeared. The Mongolian tribes north of them were originally going to follow the Qing army to the north of the desert, but now there is no one to organize them. Many people sent envoys to surrender. Huye could only respond. All treatments have been asked for permission from the commander. However, most of them asked for surrender in the flag unit. Most of the envoys were in the camp. After discussing with General Pei Chengyi, Beiye originally wanted these tribes to go to Liaodong first to avoid the Qing court reacting and colluding, but they refused to move and insisted on submitting first and then obeying orders. I heard that you were coming a few days ago, and even asked to see you first."

"As a matter of fact, I am still lucky!" Li Mingxun thought to himself. He thought for a while and said, "You treat the envoys well and tell them to wait for two days first. After two days, I will give them a reply."

stable.

Wuliji walked in with seven or eight Mongolian soldiers. More than a hundred people were lying or sitting in the stable. They were all unkempt, thin and slim, and all were barefoot. No one was well dressed. Most of them had only a rag robe. These were prisoners, and they did not wear shoes and had few clothes to prevent them from running away. They could only spend the cold rainy night in the horse manure with each other and holding dry grass.

"Master..." A Mongolian soldier checked and walked to Wuliji.

Wu Liji picked up a whip and slapped the Mongolian soldier in the butt, and angrily said, "Call you call me! You are no longer a slave to noble people. Now you are a soldier in the new dynasty. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will sew your mouth!"

The Mongolian soldier company begged for mercy and said, "Sir, please check it clearly. There are all Korqin's people here, with 130 people, four of them almost gone."

With the captives' eyes in various eyes, Wu Liji walked into the crowd and saw the four people lying on the ground. The four people were all injured, and most of the wounds were bleed. The eyes were blurred. Obviously, they were about to die. Wu Liji pulled out a dagger and pierced their hearts one by one, relieved the pain of these people. He knelt on the ground and put his hands together: "Gods and Buddhas are blessed, Wu Liji is just pitying his pain, giving him compassion, and a clear understanding of Gods and Buddhas."

After doing all this, Wu Liji stood up and found that the prisoners were obviously divided into two piles, one pile of thirty-five people. The remaining armor leaves could also show that they were elite soldiers or team leaders, obviously they were all like Ha Rishaote. But when he thought of only one hundred and thirty people, he obviously felt something was wrong and asked, "There should be two hundred people here, right? Did the rest escape?"

A guy walked out of the crowd and said carefully: "A master named Akdun came just now, picked up dozens of people, saying that he would be his conqueror in the future."

"Damn, this guy Akdun started plundering people so early." Wu Liji was indignant.

"Okay, get up and go to work with me!" Wu Liji complained a few times, whipping the people on the ground, and a group of people followed him staggeredly. A burly Ha Richu said angrily: "A Chinese lackey, sooner or later, will not die well."

A group of people came to the military commander. Wu Liji stepped forward and said a few words to the military commander. The military commander pointed to a large cart. Wu Liji called people forward and opened the carriage. It was full of clothes and boots. It was all enjoyed by noble people, Wu Liji said, "A group of good luck guys, please change their outfits. You can finally enjoy them once after seeing these things for a lifetime."

The prisoners had been frozen for a long time, and saw warm clothes and boots, and rushed forward, changed into each other, put on their clothes, and the prisoners were much more energetic. The guy who cursed Wuliji just now muttered: "Damn, are you going to take me to behead? If you give me a full meal before beheading, that would be great."

"Stand up and go to dinner with me after dressing. Seeing that you dogs look like you, you don't have the strength, how can you do the work assigned by the Shangguans?" Wu Liji whipped the whip and roared.

"Alin, you are so amazing. You are actually giving food." One person said.

Alin was Naha Sunriset. He had never spoken. Another person said, "Don't be true god, I don't want to die."

Hundreds of people were pulled to the kitchen. It was already noon. It was very quiet here. Dozens of women and children were helping to wash dishes, pots, and pick firewood. It was still a busy scene. Wu Liji obviously knew the chef, so he escaped a box of cigarettes, handed it to him, and said, "Brother, Shangguan sent me to get some prisoners to work, but this group of people only had a meal for two days. If they couldn't do it, please give them a bite of food."

The captain took the cigarette, lit one, and put his head into the tent and took a look: "The time for dinner has passed, there are only leftovers."

Wu Liji smiled and said, "Don't dislike it, just have something to eat."
