Chapter 19: The Maori Child

There were three ways to place other Mongol generals.

The first way is to be promoted to the Ming army camp normally and become a member of the Ming system, and there are many such generals.

The most representative is the Wu Jin family.

It can be said that he has been loyal for generations.

If they can do it, after a few generations, they will forget about the grassland and become a member of the Ming Jiangmen system, as for whether it will change to other directions, such as civil officials, it is another matter.

The second way is to return to Mobei and Monan.

This is the Mongolian generals who are more honest and have no intention of opening up in the Western Regions, and after they return to the south and north of the desert, the Ming Dynasty will naturally have rewards.

It's just that Da Ming used the gallop to divide the grassland into pieces.

In the future, these Mongolian generals are estimated to slowly become ranchers. It is inseparable from the economy of the Ming Dynasty.

The third way is to be more ambitious, unwilling to die under the cage of the Ming Dynasty.

It became the Tusi of the Southern Frontier of the Western Regions.

When dividing the Southern Territory Tusi, Yu Qian was also very scheming. Almost the local natives are divided into the Mongolian tribes that have migrated over to them.

So that they can't hold each other together, or even to the point of monitoring each other.

Compared with the garrison in southern Xinjiang, plus the four towns in southern Xinjiang, there are only about 30,000 elite cavalry. Plus the thousands of foot soldiers of the governor of the Western Regions.

These troops, scattered for thousands of miles in southern Xinjiang, are generally somewhat small.

Only by making full use of the contradictions between the various Tusi and dividing and ruling can we reduce the strength of the army and the burden of the people in the northwest.

The Maori child is the exception.

Mao Li child followed Shi Heng and participated in several major battles, and even when he confronted Andijan, Mao Li child led his headquarters and fought a fierce battle with the tile spur on the secondary battlefield.

This made the little prince famous.

I have to say that although the brand of the Erjin family has ended, it is still useful, and many Mongolians in the Western Regions are unwilling to follow the west of the Watts, nor are they willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, so they gather under the Maoli children's tent.

The Mauri occupied the ancestral land of Wathorn and controlled nearly 30,000 tents.

The account is a kind of statistical unit in Mongolia, which can be understood as the household of the Han people, and with the system of the Mongols all soldiers, 30,000 accounts are 30,000 cavalry.

Although now the Maori child also understands.

If ordinary Mongolian cavalry wants to win against the Han cavalry, I am afraid that it will have to be two against one, three against one, and then there is hope.

So even if there are 30,000 riders, it is very peaceful.

But the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty.

In Yu Qian's eyes, all the troops in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty combined, but only sixty or seventy thousand. There are 30,000 horsemen alone, plus the Mongolian tribes scattered all over the country, it is estimated that the Maori children are under the vertical and horizontal, and it is not a question to get 50,000 or 60,000 horses

Title.

Therefore, Shi Heng's domineering can be endured, but Mao Li's strength is inflated, but he can't bear it.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen has another understanding of Maoli children.

That is, in fact, this is not suitable for the Ming ruling model and the grassland ruling model.

No matter in the south and north of the desert, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, there are actually many independent Mongolian tribes, and these Mongolian tribes have thousands of soldiers and horses, and hundreds of them.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qizhen was able to pull out 100,000 Mongolian cavalry in one go.

It's because they were where they were.

This is also the reason why heavy troops are stationed in the south and north of the desert.

And the Western Regions, especially the Northern Frontier, are too far away from the Ming Dynasty.

This maladaptation is particularly evident.

The Western Regions is a land that is also cultivated and pastured. The Ming Dynasty handled the land that could be cultivated in the Western Regions very well. But dealing with large pastures is problematic.

In particular, south of Jinshan and north of the Tianshan Mountains, this grassland where the tile thorns have lived for generations shows that they are powerless.

It is not so much that Mao Li Boy seized the opportunity to reunite his people in this land, but that Da Ming Wufa completely controlled this land and left Mao Li Child with a chance.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen did not want to deal with Maoli children urgently, of course, it must be a hidden danger to let Maoli children develop, but the fundamental way to eliminate this hidden danger is not to eliminate him, but to increase the control ability of the Western Regions.

A large number of Han people migrated and strengthened their control over the Western Regions. Find a way to build a gallop road to the Western Regions and connect the Ming Dynasty with the Western Regions.

This is the way to cure the root cause.

However, this did not prevent Zhu Qizhen from listening to Yu Qian's views on the Western Regions.

"In my opinion, what should I do now?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

Yu Qian said: "The new decision of the Western Regions should be based on stability and not recklessly. In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to build three cities. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Where to build a city? ”

Yu Qian said: "First, Luntai. ”

Where Luntai is, it is Urumqi.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty ruled the Western Regions, so naturally it is impossible to use the name of the tile spur. Yes, the name Urumqi is what the Waspur people call here.

Luntai is one of the north-south passages in the north and south. At the same time, it was one of the main pastoral areas of the Tile Spur. By building a city here, you can suppress the Maori children nearby and maintain the deterrent power of southern Xinjiang against northern Xinjiang.

After all, the core of Yu Qian's governance of the Western Regions is that the southern Xinjiang is the inner and the northern Xinjiang is the outer one.

"The second is to choose the eastern foot of Yanran Mountain, a place with abundant water and grass to build a city, and connect it with Longcheng with a gallop road."

Yu Qian didn't say anything specific about this place, but the first thing that came to Zhu Qizhen's mind was Uriya Sutai, that is, one of the cities in Outer Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty.

Garrison troops here, and connect them with dragon cities by galloping roads.

as

In this way, if the Ming Dynasty uses troops against Maoli children, there is a close starting point.

"The third is that Your Majesty can send craftsmen in the name of rewarding Maori children. Build a city for him. ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but say, "Okay." ”

Isn't it believed that Mauri was at risk of rebellion in the future, and that he would build a strong city for him?

No, for the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols who have always been settled are easy to deal with, and the nomadic Mongols are difficult to deal with.

Nowadays, under the influence of silage law, Mongol settlement has become a general trend.

The construction of a city for the Maori children was a clever means to speed up the settlement of the Maori children.

Maybe the top brass has their own ideas.

But for the Mongolian people, I really thought that they would like to be nomadic and wander around. Don't they want to live in a house or a city like the Han Chinese?

No.

They want to, too.

It's just what you need to survive.

Now that the silage method is prevalent and there is a ready-made city, this city will surely become the center of the Mauri tribe.

In this way, once the Maori child changes, there is a considerable chance that the army will not rush to this place.

Even if the Maori child has great courage and courage, he burns the city and leaves. At that time, it can also cause a split within the Maori Division.

Zhu Qizhen said: "The matter of the Western Regions, as soon as I see it from Mr., Mr. will write an excerpt and hand it over." I can't be inaccurate. ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I haven't seen you for many years, I think very much, but now I don't talk about political affairs, I talk about something light." I recently read rams. If you have some questions, please ask Mr. to solve my doubts? ”

Zhu Qizhen said this, which made Yu Qian very suspicious.

Without him, Yu Qian understood early on that the current emperor was a thorough pragmatist, he was very interested in everything that was useful to him, and he regarded everything that was not useful to him as non-existent, and even had a sense of contempt.

Zhu Qizhen may have consciously concealed this very well. That's now.

When he was just in power, he was naturally not as leaky as he is now, and it was normal for Yu Qian to see the clues.

Although Yu Qian didn't understand why Zhu Qizhen suddenly liked to study. But Yu Qian thought about it, it is estimated that when he was young today, he didn't understand it, but when he grew up, he could understand the sage road better with experience.

This is also the charm of ancient Chinese learning, reading at the age of ten is one meaning, reading at the age of twenty is another meaning, reading at the age of thirty can taste new ideas, and now His Majesty is forty years old, and I don't think it was young and frivolous at the beginning.

Yu Qian said, "Your Majesty, please speak." The old minister has not studied for many years, or if there is something he does not know, please forgive your majesty. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's easy to say, I'm just asking casually. ”
