Chapter 229: Harmony

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Chang Shuai happens to be in Shuntian Mansion at this time, so let him personally lead the troops to reprimand the King of Shunyi, and Chang Shuai's prestige is enough to deter his subordinates." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Chang Yuchun is short-tempered, even if he has nothing to do, he can make an accident, let him reprimand King Shunyi, do you want to fight with Mongolia again?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "The softer it is, the more likely it is to boost the arrogance of the Mongolian tribes, only if it is tough enough, even if it forces the king of Shunyi, it will not hesitate." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't rush to say anything, just listened silently, Zhu Biao continued: "I can still afford a small-scale battle, the Mongolian ministries launched the King of Shunyi to test, and instead of supporting him as the king, he rebelled and the rest of the ministries will never join, but will help us suppress the King of Shunyi together." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, Quan Xu has not wasted time on the grassland for so long, the details of the Mongolian departments have long been in Zhu Yuanzhang's control, they now have the courage to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty, but they have not yet the courage to start a war.

If the King of Shunyi really dared to rebel, they were even more panicked than the Ming Dynasty, because they knew that once the Ming Dynasty was forced to raise troops to conquer the grassland, it would never mean that they could go back after killing the Shunyi King's troops, but they must have to plunder them to weaken their strength.

In fact, the two sides have always been compromising with each other, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have canonized them as kings, but now it is Mongolia who makes the first move, and the Ming Dynasty must also return the favor and remind the other party not to forget their situation.

Chang Yuchun is not a candidate for peace talks, but he is definitely a good candidate to stir up trouble, and how the king of Shunyi responds to the temptation of the Ming Dynasty will be able to know what the Mongolian tribes think.

If the king of Shunyi was humiliated and rebelled, and the Mongol tribes not only did not respond but helped the Ming Dynasty suppress it, then the rift between them would be even greater, and it would not be easy to talk about rebellion in the future.

If you endure it, then you will naturally be fine, Mongolia can only take advantage of it and can only support itself, it is about to enter winter, everything on the steppe is exhausted, and there are hungry and crazy herdsmen in each of their departments, and it is inevitable to consume each other.

Mongolia is now in urgent need of a war, less food and more people, then you can only consume the surplus people, the question is to fight with the Ming or with your own people, otherwise the contradiction can not be transferred, Mongolia does not have the habit of the prince to use his own money and grain to help the herdsmen.

Nomads have been like this for generations, raising cattle and sheep is very risky, a disease may take them all away, and there are no cattle and sheep leaving only wives and children to be fed, what should we do?

Of course, it's to rob, if there is no unified king, then the tribes rob each other, kill all your people and take all the supplies, if there is a unified tribe, then organize a large army to invade the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is good to grab the nature, take the grain and go back happily, it doesn't matter if you can't grab it, consume a large number of herdsmen, and the remaining grain is enough, anyway, the herdsmen of the grassland are like this, just like grass, the spring breeze blows and grows.

I'm afraid that some people can't wait for the King of Shunyi to rebel, maybe the King of Shunyi is the meat they have chosen, and now they are waiting to be served on the table to share the food, after all, the resources of the King of Shunyi are extremely rich, and everyone is full when one person falls.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son walked to the familiar tree, and Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In the future, if a vassal country asks to marry a princess, will you agree?" ”

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, Da Ming did not make peace, did not pay compensation, did not cede land, and did not pay tribute, which was too familiar in later generations, so he never thought about this.

However, Zhu Biao actually did not have an extreme view of harmony, and the reason why Daming did it was entirely because the shame of the Song Dynasty was too great.

First of all, it is definitely not as simple as sending a woman in exchange for just a few years of peace, if sending a woman to a foreign tribe can prevent the foreign tribe from coming south to plunder, then where is this sacrifice, this is a fucking miracle.

Heqin is essentially a political means, and it is not as simple as a political marriage, it is the process of accepting a younger brother in the Central Empire, and it is not so much a princess as a princess, but an essence of accepting sons-in-law, of course, the Song Dynasty is an exception.

Han Tang is not strong enough, they still choose to be friendly, even if they don't include the few times they were forced to make peace, they will still choose to be friendly at their peak.

That is because harmony is a high-level political means with low cost and high returns to install agents for foreign cores, and weak countries are not qualified to play this game.

The Song Dynasty did extremely badly, because it did not subdue the Liao State by force, and the two sides formed a brotherly state, and the Jurchens took away many royal daughters after breaking the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, but these princesses were reduced to slaves, and they were not qualified to make peace

The best thing to do in this is the Yuan Dynasty, there was a period of time in the history of Goryeo called the Yuan Intervention Period, and the princesses of the Yuan Dynasty enjoyed a high status and power in Goryeo, and even the anti-guest.

The princesses wantonly installed courtiers who came to marry, controlled the political situation in Goryeo, and beat the king of Goryeo with their fists at every turn, King Chungseon and King Chunghye were also arrested and exiled by the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongolian princess was stunned and successfully domesticated the king of Korea.

Do you dare to say no? They don't dare, what are they afraid of? Afraid of a woman? No, it's the huge country behind the woman.

Since then, Goryeo has a long memory, even if North Korea is established, Zhu Di mentioned twice in history that he wanted to make peace, and he also wanted the princess to marry the prince of North Korea, but he was politely refused.

In the end, the king of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, was forced to say that his prince was married, and he refused to accept Princess Daming, for fear of ending up with the same fate as Goryeo.

Since then, Zhu Di has lost face, and he never mentions marrying a princess again, and the princess of the Ming Dynasty is married to her own country, in fact, there is not much difference, and it is not the princess's turn to choose a husband.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Erchen doesn't have this plan, sending the princess and relatives to the end falls to the lower level, not to mention that if you don't marry the princess, then let the princes work more and marry some princesses of the vassal country." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Then let's say it, the third princess of the King of Goryeo is about to get married, and we are worried about how to arrange it." ”

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched, he thought about it so much in vain, isn't it just a matter of marrying a woman, Zhu Biao suddenly had a feeling of dedication to the country.

However, he didn't want to marry Princess Goryeo, after all, he didn't understand the language, so he pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, don't you have only one prince, aren't the third children still engaged?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with his hands behind his back: "The third child is not good, this princess is either accepted by you or accepted by us, if you want to implement your plan perfectly, then you can only show sincerity." ”

Zhu Biao sighed, Yao Guangxiao and they have already arrived in Goryeo, it seems that things are going well, otherwise Goryeo would not be in a hurry to send the princess over and kiss, I don't want to spit out the land of Liaodong.

Zhu Biao could only nod and agree, the two walked back to Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao led Chang Luohua to say goodbye, and the couple walked to the East Palace, Zhu Biao didn't expect that he was still tricked by his father, and it was him who finally kissed!

Zhu Biao now suspects that the king of Shunyi really asked the court to marry the princess?
