Jiang County.
The outer city in the south and the inner city in the north are clearly separated.
The outer city is bustling with traffic, noisy and prosperous. In the inner city, in addition to the ministers' mansions, there are also government offices of various ministries. Those who move on the streets are either officials in the government offices or the servants of the officials' families.
They are all very quiet and low-key.
There is a government office among them, with the words "Imperial City Division" hanging on the plaque.
The Chu State did not have this court department, and the Han State's system basically copied the Chu State. Many people in Han Dynasty don't know what this yamen does.
"drive!!!!"
On the road in front of the Imperial City Division, the crisp sound of horse hooves sounded. The three knights galloped over on horseback. After arriving at the yamen gate, they communicated with the soldiers guarding the yamen, then entered the yamen and went to the study to meet Chen Jiagui.
"Sir, this is Meng Yuan's information. For this information, many of our brothers died." A knight took out a letter stained with sweat and body odor from his arms, knelt on the ground, and handed it to Chen Jiagui .
This knight is very strong and has a determined look. But at this time, it is also sad.
He is an official under the Imperial City Department, named Liu Jun. He personally led the team to carry out activities in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty just for the letter in his hand.
The spies of the Imperial City Department can have the help of the people within the territory of Han Dynasty, and their activities can be unimpeded. However, it is difficult to move within the borders of Mongolia, Yuan and Chu.
Every time a piece of information is spied on, an unimaginable price will be paid.
And the spying information this time is extraordinary.
"Thank you for your hard work. The King of Han will never forget the sacrifices of our brothers. He will certainly provide generous compensation to their families. Their sacrifices will not be without value. They will definitely become an important part of the recovery of Liaodong and the expulsion of the Tartars. "Chen Jiagui first helped Liu Jun up and said in a deep voice, and then reached out and took the letter.
"yes."
Liu Jun and the other two spies looked excited when they heard this, bowed and clasped their fists, and shouted yes.
That's right.
The great cause of expelling the Tartars and recovering Liaodong will definitely be completed. In this process, our spies from the Imperial City Department, although not as famous as the generals, still contributed their efforts.
Any sacrifice is worth it.
Chen Jiagui asked the officials to arrange for the three of them to rest in the Imperial City Department, then called the guards and rode into the palace with the letter.
In the Imperial Garden. Wu Nian, Liu Xiang and all the concubines, surrounded by a large number of eunuchs and maids, admired the exotic flowers and plants.
Like this palace, these exotic flowers and plants also come from Goguryeo. Li Jinzhu is very familiar with him and plays the role of "tour guide".
Hearing that Chen Jiagui was coming, Wu Nian had a solemn look on his face, waved Liu Xiang to take the concubines down, and then came to sit in a pavilion.
Not long after, Chen Jiagui walked in.
Wu Nian waved his hand again, asking the eunuchs and maids to stand farther away.
"But have things made progress in the north?" Wu Nian asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Shengming. This is what the spies heard. Within the Meng Yuan Empire, there may be Meng Yuan tribes or foreign tribes that are dissatisfied with Meng Yuan."
Chen Jiagui nodded and handed the letter in his hand to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian reached out and took the letter, took out the letter paper and read it. What flooded my nose was the stench of sweat. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there were countless stories behind these thin pieces of paper.
After calming down, Wu Nianzi looked carefully line by line.
The Mongols and the Han were at odds with each other.
Wu Nian's basic national policy is to capture Mongolian and Yuan soldiers on the battlefield and kill them without mercy. As for the civilians of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the generals had revenge and grievances.
Wu Nian will never interfere.
However, the addition of Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong changed his national policy.
In order to win, sometimes you have to do some dirty things.
In order to reduce casualties, sometimes you have to compromise.
The battle at Huanglong Mansion must be a brutal and unimaginable battle. Every piece of strength, no matter how small, may become the key to victory or defeat in the end.
The Meng Yuan is a large tribe disguised as an empire. In addition to the original Meng Yuan people, there are also foreigners who were conquered by the Meng Yuan people and became the Meng Yuan people, and some are still foreigners.
The relationship between these foreigners and the Meng Yuan is like the relationship between the hereditary chieftains in the southern mountainous area of Chu State and the Chu State.
These tribes maintain semi-independence and need to pay tribute to the Mongolian people with certain local specialties every year according to the size of the tribe. For example, dongzhu, ginseng, sea green, animal skin, etc.
Liaodong is cold.
Meng Yuan is even colder. Some of the animal skins produced in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasties are priceless.
Whether they are the Mongolian people or the semi-independent tribes on the periphery of the Mongolian "empire", if anyone is willing to submit to him.
They were all the battles of Huanglong Mansion, with effective forces outside the Han Dynasty's establishment.
Before this, the Han Dynasty was not clear about many situations in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
This is the first piece of information about the structure of the Mongolian and Yuan tribes.
But after reading it, Wu Nian frowned deeply, and then handed the letter to Chen Jiagui. Of course Chen Jiagui didn't dare to read it first because he didn't know the content. After seeing Wu Nian's expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took the letter and read it at a glance.
Like Wu Nian, he also frowned.
"These tribes, or forces. Either their power is too small and of little use. Or their power is too strong and they are powerfully controlled by the Meng Yuan people."
"It is very difficult to select a collaborator from among these forces. If you are a little short-sighted and choose the wrong person, it will be a waste of money. That would be bad."
Wu Nian sighed and said.
"Yes." Chen Jiagui nodded solemnly.
The Mongolian people's control over large tribes was simple and crude.
Make peace.
Marry the clan girls or royal princesses to the leaders of these large tribes. Then support people who are related to the Mongolian and Yuan royal families to come to power.
The leaders of the large tribes on this list all have the blood of the Mengyuan royal family flowing in their bodies.
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it.
Moreover, this list was discovered by spies from the Imperial City Division.
There is no monolithic country in this world, not even the Han Dynasty. It's just that the gaps are big or small.
Since these names appear on this list, it proves that the leaders of these tribes, or the tribes, have great conflicts with the Mongolian people.
There is the possibility of instigating rebellion.
"Come here. Summon the cabinet ministers to Dexing Pavilion." Wu Nian said loudly to the eunuch standing far away. Then he took Chen Jiagui to Dexing Pavilion.
After some discussion, the core monarchs and ministers of Han Dynasty decided. Decided to start with a tribe called Sushun.
This is a large tribe with a size of about 100,000 people. Living in the eastern coastal area of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, they made a living by fishing and farming.
Its leader is called Hao Ge.
His mother and wife both came from the Mongolian and Yuan royal families.
The Jin family.
But he had conflicts with the Mongolian and Yuan royal families.
