Chapter 269: I want the meat to rot in the pot
Zhu Yunwen only stayed in Beiping City for three days, and then hurriedly pulled out the camp and went north.
He planned to come to inspect whether the environment of Beiping was suitable for moving the capital, and went to Monan in order to understand the intricate ethnic situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty and solve the problem of the blank period of the prairie by the way.
The scenery of Monan is very good, the vast scenery of the prairie, the blue sky overhead, and the blue waves under the head, make people feel heroic, and it is no wonder that the people born and raised in this land are full of the pride and ambition of conquest.
can set foot here, Zhu Yunwen sincerely admired.
Not to mention TV, the Internet and other media, this is really the first time that Zhu Yunwen and his two generations have personally experienced the Hulunbuir prairie, and have seen what it means to see cattle and sheep in the wind-blown grassland.
"In addition to the 160,000 troops of Mo Nanwei, there are more than 300,000 of their respective family members, and this time Mo Nanwei moved to the south, and nearly 800,000 moved in."
When he came to Monan, Song Sheng acted as a tour guide and introduced Zhu Yunwen on a horse and half of his body.
"There are about more than ten different ethnic groups in Mo Nanwei at the moment, the composition is more complex, before the people of the Mobei steppe moved south, with our Han people as the main body, the number was about sixty percent, and now it is the most Mongolian."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and didn't speak, he was now busy looking at the scenery.
"Because of the reason for the grassland under the jurisdiction of Mo Nanwei, the number of acres of cultivated fields is very small, and most of them still rely on grazing for a living, like the periphery of Dongshengwei, there are more than a dozen tribes sporadically, since His Majesty ascended the throne and opened the border trade, this side is very prosperous."
"Adapt measures to local conditions, adapt measures to local conditions."
Zhu Yunwen looked very happy and nodded frequently: "There is only the most suitable way to survive, there is no best way to survive." β
Sighing with emotion, Zhu Yunwen also smiled at Zhu Di on the other side: "At the moment, it seems that my Ming Dynasty is the most nourishing soldier in Monan, and there is meat to eat." β
Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Didn't you say that when the minister was in Beiping, he relied on the support of the brothers of the Monan Dusi to fight the tooth sacrifice." β
"Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water."
Zhu Yunwen said excitedly: "I was still worried earlier, how to deal with the blank period after the Mobei Survey, the Mongols are gone, there will definitely be new ethnic groups running to the grassland to survive, and they will grow stronger again in decades or hundreds of years, just like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan grew stronger again."
Now the Marquis of Xining has given me inspiration, the grassland people can live by nomadism, and my Han people can also live by nomadism, who said that agricultural civilization can only farm for generations?
I thought it was ridiculous when I had this idea, but today's field trip, I think it's still promising. I can completely follow the example of the grassland people to engage in a few Han nomadic herdings, so that I can dominate the grassland forever and never suffer in the future. β
Compared with Zhu Yunwen's excitement, Zhu Di and Song Sheng glanced at each other, but they fell silent and looked nervous.
Are they questioning the feasibility of this approach?
"There has never been a static civilization in this world."
Zhu Yunwen said in a firm tone: "Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of ancient times also lived by hunting, because the speed of hunting and predation could not keep up with the speed of population reproduction, so they began to make a living by sowing crops.
The favor of heaven and earth gave our ancestors a piece of anointed land, and gave us land to sow and harvest, so our nation began to multiply and grow rapidly, and the population needed to expand when it reached the limit that the land could support.
In thousands of years, we have expanded from a corner of the Yellow River to tens of thousands of miles from the north to the south and east and west, but the land is too big, and it is impossible for the landform to be consistent, natural, and it is impossible to be suitable for cultivation everywhere, so our ancestors who are full of wisdom began to look for different ways of living in different places, and have the phrase "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water".
I have been to the southwest, and I have seen that many people in Sichuan and Yunnan are still making a living by hunting, the people in Guizhou are mountain households, who go into the mountains to collect medicine and sell them for a living, those in the southeast coast are fishing, and those in the south of the Central Plains are farming, and the guards in the south of the desert are grazing.
Every piece of land can feed the people, the difference is only in the way.
Although we Han people have a strong land complex, but from the point of view that they know how to adapt to the environment, they will still seek change compared to starvation, especially those who are difficult to make a living by farming, and no matter how poor the grazing is, it is much more decent than selling their children and dying of starvation.
In this part of Mobei, I can learn from Xining Hou and move hundreds of thousands of people here!
I want to move the people to fill the desert north, give them cattle, sheep and horses for them to raise, and I can also ask the imperial court to support the winter problem that has plagued the grassland people for thousands of years.
Winter clothing, food, medicine are carried out by the imperial court through the way of buying and selling, so with the support of my Ming Dynasty, our Han nomadic reproduction will be far faster than that of Warat Tatar, etc., within fifty years, hundreds of thousands can become millions!
When we Han people take root in Mobei and develop to three million or five million, the prairie will be our Han people for generations. β
The more Zhu Yunwen spoke, the more excited he became, he felt as if he had found the best way to solve the crux of the Central Plains for thousands of years once and for all!
The Hu people are gone, there are Xiongnu, and after the Xiongnu, there are Xianbei, Wuhuan, Turkic, Hui, Jurchen, Mongolian, and the peoples on the steppe disappear one by one and will give birth to new ones, and disappear one gives birth to another, and has never really died out.
Therefore, there is no way to take the prairie in all dynasties, including when Zhu Yunwen first crossed over, his head exploded, and he still thought that only after the advent of the heavy machine gun would the nomadic problem be completely solved, but now he seems to have found a way.
Don't Han Chinese know how to graze? Could it be that the guards raised by Mo Nanwei are all fakes?
The Han people can do anything, or any ethnic group as long as they are human, they will grope for a way to fill their stomachs when they are hungry.
A saying that 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water' has been quite clear.
The excited Zhu Yunwen looked up to the sky and laughed a few more times, but found that Zhu Di and Song Sheng behind him were not very excited, and frowned slightly at the moment.
"Why, is there anything flawed in my idea?"
The two looked at each other, but they didn't speak first, but in the end, it was Zhu Yunwen who called Song Sheng's name.
"Xining Hou, you know best in Monan for a long time, tell me, is my idea feasible?"
Song Sheng immediately showed a bitter face: "Minister, don't dare to say it." β
"What dare you dare."
It is related to the centennial plan of the nation, and Zhu Yunwen is absolutely open-minded in this kind of matter, so he waved his hand immediately: "Say it boldly, the more straightforward I say, not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you." β
"Let's talk about it."
Zhu Di sighed at this time, turned over and pulled the reins of Zhu Yunwen's horse, raised his neck and said: "The minister thought about doing this when he was in Beiping, does Your Majesty remember Yao Guangxiao?" β
Seeing Zhu Di mention Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment, and then got off the horse, found a turf to sit on the ground, and beckoned the two: "Of course remember, come on, sit down and talk." β
The two thanked each other and sat down cross-legged, and Zhu Di followed suit.
"At that time, the minister felt that the army was used in the north, and there were not many excellent riders in my Ming Dynasty, far less than the grassland people on horseback, so I thought of this method, and moved the people of many places in Beiping to live in Monan, and since then they have followed the grassland people to reproduce, and over time, backed by the rich supply of the Central Plains, the number of Dingkou will definitely exceed the grassland, but this inscription has just been written, and it was burned by Yao Guangxiao, and he said to the minister, 'Mo Nan, but there is no command yet'."
When it came to this, Zhu Di didn't say more, he knew that the emperor could definitely understand what he meant.
Zhu Yunwen did understand, and then smiled bitterly.
Yes, Mo Nan didn't have all the commanders at that time.
Why didn't Yao Guangxiao let Zhu Di go to this inscription, and why didn't Emperor Taizu set up a commander-in-chief in Monan?
The tail is too big to fall off!
As Zhu Di said, backed by the rich supply of the Central Plains, the Dingkou in the land of Monan can multiply quickly, and within many years, it will be another 'Mongolia'!
Set up a commander-in-chief in such a place, and a new 'Genghis Khan' will be born with that carenation!
If Song Sheng has ambitions, then he will become An Lushan!
No wonder more than a dozen health centers in Monan were not subordinate to each other back then, it wasn't for Zhu Yunwen, a traverser, who came up to promote Song Sheng, but now Monan is still a plate of scattered sand.
Zhu Quan's clan is in Daning, Zhu Di's clan is in Beiping, one south and one east blocked the road to Monan, if the generals of Monan want to engage in the Anshi Rebellion, then these rebels will not be able to enter the Central Plains at all!
To use, but also to prevent.
And Zhu Di even returned the proposal of Tou Tie, and moved the people of Beiping to the south of the country, and he went to the south of the country to resist the Warat and the Tatars?
This question doesn't matter if he is dedicated to the country, as long as he dares to hand it over to Nanjing, he will immediately be recalled to Beijing by Emperor Taizu to be placed under house arrest until death!
This is the opposite.
Thinking about what was going on, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but sigh.
He also thought that he was so clever that he had solved a problem that the ancients had not solved for thousands of years, but it turned out that the ancients were not unexpected, but unwilling to do it.
The emperor is reluctant to do it, he is afraid of shaking his rule, after all, the Anshi Rebellion has left too much ink in history, and since then, which of the courtiers should not always be cautious, and at the same time pursue power and control the power in their hands, too big to lose their heads.
Song Sheng is estimated to have been tormenting day and night in the past five years.
When he took office, Mo Nan was 160,000 guards, and five years later it was still 160,000.
He didn't dare!
Zhu Di never mentioned this kind of thing again, and he didn't dare.
"I'm not afraid."
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yunwen suddenly smiled.
"I once said, 'I'd rather be a house slave than a thief'!"
The faces of the two changed in unison.
"Let's not go, in the future, there will be a new nation in the desert prairie, such a vast land, they can quickly get through the early stage of reproduction, maybe one or two hundred years, a tribe of thousands of people will multiply to millions, the men of the grassland people are all in control, and then the scale of the whole army is four or five hundred thousand in an instant, and they should invade the south again.
Kill, rob, burn. In history, our nation will continue to endure the sufferings it has suffered.
And if this desert grassland is also our Han people, it will be different, I dare not say that everyone is a loyal minister and filial son, but it must not be a chaotic minister and thief.
Even if there are one or two people who are anti-minded, or if my descendants are not angry, they also want to seize power under the banner of the Qing monarch, then they need the support of the people when they go south to enter the customs, they dare not slaughter their relatives, and they fight back and forth, it is nothing more than fratricide, the meat is rotten, and it is also in the pot. β
The meat is rotten, but it's still in the pot after all!
The artifact has changed hands, and no matter how fake the hand is, it is in the hands of his own family!
The emperor did this, and Zhu Yunwen was the first in history!
Zhu Di shook his head and smiled bitterly, he understood why the hearts of the army and the people in the world were tied to Zhu Yunwen alone.
This nephew of his own is really fulfilling his original promise step by step, and what he can really do is dedicated to the country!
is obviously doing a selfless act, but on the contrary, he has collected all the power in the world.
And those small-bellied, narrow-minded emperors have been thinking about power all their lives, and in the end, they have turned the whole world away from morality.
Actually, the reason is very simple.
You have the people in your heart, and the people can have you in their hearts.
You have a soldier in your heart, and the gun in the soldier's hand will protect you!
If you have the will of the people and the army, no one in the world will be able to fight you, so they will be afraid of you and dare not oppose you.
Then you have all the power of the world.
"I don't want to sleep uncomfortably in the future, so in order to let myself sleep peacefully, I plan to merge Mo Nan and Mo Bei!"
Zhu Yunwen said: "I want to set up the left, middle and right three capital protectors of the Moting, so I will do it in this way, in addition to the Mo Nanwei, and then select the barren from the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, and move 50,000 households to the Moting, so as to ensure that the number of Moting Dingkou is about 600,000, and my Han people will account for all of them."
The Mongols, Jurchens and other ethnic groups in Monan immediately moved back to the interior, numbered hundreds of households, and distributed them to all provincial capitals and counties across the country. β
It is a very risky thing to set up a province on the grassland, and the traffic conditions in this era are here, and it is easy to have a big tail, so Zhu Yunwen is still a little cautious and changes the province to Sandu Hufu.
Or, it can also be called a three-part nomad!
At that time, he, the emperor and the clan, will receive one, the cabinet will nominate talents to receive one, and the Zongxun of the Five Military Mansions will elect a general!
In the future, even if one of the three departments is an ambitious party, he will not dare to rebel rashly, because he must unify the three departments before he can raise troops to the south.
The commanders and backbone cadres of the three ministries will take up their posts in rotation after five to 10 years, and the three ministries are naturally opposing camps, and peaceful reunification is unrealistic.
And the unification of force, when they are finished, it will be easier for the imperial court to clean it up, and it will be easier to divide it.
If the clansmen, the cabinet, and Wuxun all secretly colluded together, then there was no need to rebel in the court, and the central government would directly remove the emperor from power in a coup d'Γ©tat.
Moreover, it is difficult for a unified dynasty to have a large-scale armed rebellion if it does not suffer from a large-scale peasant uprising and lose the support of the people.
The Anshi Rebellion was so big, the famous generals of the whole world were still loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and after the rebellion was suppressed, Guo Ziyi chose to honestly hand over the military power.
Therefore, as long as the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic, it is impossible for Moting to rebel from generation to generation.
And if the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty is messed up, then if the Moting Court does not rebel, this Zhu Ming's country will also be lost!
This truth is very intuitive, so Zhu Yunwen thought about it and felt that since this was the case, what else was there to scruple about? The meat is rotten, as long as it's still in the pot.
