Moxi Mongolia is located in a remote area, the economic situation is not very backward, and the products are also very simple, basically no food crops.

There is a great demand for grain, tea, sugar, salt, iron, cotton, silk, medicinal herbs, wood, gold and silver products and other materials in the Central Plains.

The horses, cattle and sheep, animal bones, leather products, dairy products, etc. produced in Mongolia are also the commodities needed by the Central Plains, and the trade between the two sides has a good complementarity.

In terms of trade dependence, the dependence of nomads on the commodities of the Central Plains is much greater than that of the Central Plains.

The advantage of the Central Plains Dynasty over the northern nomads was mainly experienced in economic strength, and due to the narrow concept and lack of knowledge, the Central Plains Dynasty ignored the use of economic means to control the northern nomads.

They regarded the opening of ports and cities to the northern nomads as a gift to them, reflecting the emperor's grace, rather than a means of restricting them.

In the 21st century, economic means have actually become the main means of the game between major powers, and most of the things can be solved at the economic level, such as economic sanctions and trade wars, and there is no need to wage war at all.

Of course, at this time of the seventeenth century, there were only a few things that could be solved by economic means, but they could still be used as an important auxiliary means of warfare, and as long as they could be used well, they could still play a considerable role.

For example, this all-round trade seems to be a loss for the Ming Dynasty and a profit for the Mongols, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty has become the world's first.

Can Zhu Cihong lose?

Trade can promote exchanges between Han, Mongolia and Tibet, further bring them closer to integration, and strengthen the Mongols' sense of identity and belonging to the Ming Dynasty, which is easier to control than sending troops to conquer the territory.

Not only that, but it can also control the lifeblood of Mongolia's economy through trade.

When all the Mongolian tribes were accustomed to trading with the Ming Dynasty to obtain various materials, the leader suddenly said: We will enter the Central Plains and unify the world, right?

You'll see if someone will kill it secretly!

Not all nomads have the ambition to conquer the Central Plains, and many northern nomads just want to survive, and the war is also to compete for resources and live better.

I've lived well enough, why should I throw away the job in my hand, pin my head to the waistband of my pants and go with you to steal someone else's job?

Fighting a war is a dangerous thing, if you don't get it right, you won't be able to see your wife and children, no one is stupid, those who can benefit from fighting will always be a small number of people, how many of the big soldiers can develop by fighting?

All economic means, the premise is that the Ming Dynasty maintains a strong armed force for deterrence, otherwise any economic means and diplomatic means are nonsense!

The tiger is fat, and that is more deterrent; Pigs and sheep are fat, and they can only lure wolves into the house!

.......

Compared with the Heshut Khanate and the Dzungar Khanate, the conquered Mongol tribes such as Tumut did not have such good autonomy.

The Ming Dynasty directly set the Hetao area as a naturalized province, sent officials, governed the local area and garrisoned the guard, which was managed by the Northern Military Governor's Office, and the provincial capital was Naturalized City, which was the sixteenth province of the Ming Dynasty.

Guihua City has a high strategic position, surrounding the Beigi region, is the place where the army gathers, backed by Horqin, left according to the Yellow River, good reclamation conditions, can meet the garrison food supply.

Since the time of Altan Khan, it has been an important town of domestic and foreign trade, and it is the economic center of northern China.

The current territory of the Ming Dynasty not only exceeds the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, but also has the same territory as the heyday of the Qing Dynasty in the later generations, with more than 13 million square kilometers.

After more than three years of construction, the large-scale Chinese altar has been completed.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Zhu Cihong led the royal family, civil and military nobles, and personally worshiped the altar.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, on the main road leading to the altar, there are two columns of sergeants of the Tianwu Army, they are neatly dressed, all holding guns against each other, and every other mile, there is also a flag, fluttering in the wind, all the way to the Chinese altar.

The Fifth Dalai Lama and more than a dozen Mongolian leaders, guided by eunuchs, also went to watch the ceremony.

The Chinese altar is towering, the Emperor Palace, the Wenqu Palace, the Wuqu Palace, the Martyrs' Palace, the Qizhi Palace, the Divine Doctor Palace, plus the main hall in the middle of the Prayer Temple, a total of seven shrines.

Around each hall, the colorful dragon pattern flags are planted all over, and the armor of the Tianwu Army stands around, the east wind hunts, and the bayonets reflect the sun, dazzling.

On both sides of the main road leading to the Temple of Prayer, the Imperial Forest Army lined up in a phalanx, standing solemnly, between the phalanx, there was a row of artillery of different sizes, the light of green seepage, the muzzle of the black hole, which made people stand chillingly.

More than 10,000 horses, except for the sound of the wind blowing the flag, there is no other sound, the whole scene seems solemn and dignified, and the momentum is shocking.

The Mongol leaders standing in front of the altar involuntarily held their breath and kept silent.

The eyes of Batur Huntaiji, the leader of the Jungar Tribe, quickly swept a few glances at the musket in the hands of the Imperial Forest Army, and the cannon in front of the high platform.

He exhaled slowly, it was this powerful and terrifying weapon of war that allowed the Ming army to sweep the world and pacify the south and the north.

If the Dzungar tribe were to become an enemy of it, I was afraid that the end would be even worse than that of the Yarkand Khanate.......

Under the leadership of the officials of Honglu Temple, Batur and other Mongolian leaders lined up and lined up under the altar.

"The Emperor is down!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!! ”

The salute roared, deafening, the earth shook, and even the altar seemed to tremble, and the Mongol leaders were unprepared, and two of them were unsteady on their feet, and they were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and they were shocked into a cold sweat.

One of the Mongolian leaders said to the officials of Honglu Temple beside him: "Your country's salute is really powerful, and the sound of the cannon has shaken my internal organs!" ”

After the roar of artillery, it was followed by rows and rows of guns from the Imperial Guards, a round of nine rows.

After the gunfire stopped, the cannon was fired again, and the cycle continued.

All the guns fired at the scene were salutes, filled with gunpowder, and no bullets or shells were placed.

The Mongol leaders did not know that the salute was fired, and their hearts trembled, and they were terrified to find the landing place of the shells, lest the shells turn and fall on their heads.

In the sound of gunfire and cannons, Emperor Zhu Cihong of Tianwu wore a black crown and calmly ascended the high platform of the altar.

When Zhu Cihong turned around and faced the ministers and the military formation, all the guns stopped abruptly, and the shouts of civil and military officials and soldiers came from the field.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Thousands of voices converged, the sound soared to the sky, and it was deafening.

In this situation, where have the Mongolian leaders seen such a scene, they don't even dare to come out.

At the end of the shouting, there was silence again, and the salute officer glanced at the Mongol leaders who were still there, and shouted: "Chiefs of the tribes, make a great salute!" ”

Only then did all the Mongolian leaders suddenly realize that except for the fifth Dalai Lama's horn, the rest all knelt on the ground, bowed three times and bowed nine times to Zhu Cihong, and shouted three times long live.

Zhu Cihong's face was like water, and he raised his hand slightly and said, "Flat!" ”

In fact, according to the current etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor's enthronement ceremony, there is no need to bow down under other circumstances, and the Ming civil and military officials and soldiers did not kneel.

The Mongolian leaders habitually bowed down, and no one stopped them at the moment, so they were regarded as surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and kowtowing to Emperor Tianwu.

Zhu Cihong said slowly: "The Mongolian tribes are willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty, it is a fortunate thing for the emperor, I have a Ming sea, there is tolerance, all ethnic groups should be accepted, since then, all ethnic groups are the same family, the same brotherhood, regardless of each other, all ethnic groups are equal!" ”

The Mongolian leaders knelt down again and said in unison: "Your Majesty Emperor Xie! ”

Subsequently, Zhu Cihong announced that the Heshute Khanate and the Jungar Khanate would be officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

The leaders of the Mongolian tribes once again said that they would submit to the Ming Dynasty and never rebel!

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, he turned around and looked at the seven temples around him.

The deeds of historical figures jumped in his mind, these are all great people who have made contributions to China!

"The ancient sages are all lonely, only the drinker leaves his name, China is strong, the Ming Dynasty is strong, I want the world to remember you forever!"

Zhu Cihong's waist slowly bent down and bowed deeply......

First worshiped the Temple of Prayer, then the Palace of the Emperor, and then the Hall of Loyalty.

Zhu Cihong looked at the dense shrines in the Hall of Loyal Martyrs, the former subordinates, the former loyal ministers and martyrs, and the scenes of their past appeared in front of him.

They threw their heads and shed their blood in the hope of saving the country whose edifice was about to collapse......

There are also Wen Tianxiang and Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, this martyr's hall records how many heroes have sacrificed their precious lives for the loyalty in their hearts step by step in China to the present!

"Salute to the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for national liberation and freedom from ancient times to the present!"

"All the soldiers who sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty, it was you who recovered Liaodong, recovered Mongolia, and pacified the world for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Bow down!"

"Worshiped by the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

.......

After the ceremony of worshipping the altar, Daming held a big parade on Shenlie Mountain.

On the platform, the Ming Dynasty is on the left, and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes are on the right.

Zhu Cihong was dressed in a military uniform, with a cloak and a handcuff hanging from his waist, and was the first to perform.

He rode around the field on horseback and personally shot at the target with a gun, and shot ten shots and ten shots.

After watching the shooting, the leaders of the Mongolian princes sighed in shock: "Great Emperor Shenwuye! ”

Batur Huntaiji even praised: "It is rumored that the emperor once shot and killed the slave chief Dorgon, and today it seems that the rumors are true!" ”

Although I don't know where he heard this rumor, there seems to be some discrepancies, but no one from the Ming Dynasty came out to correct the matter.

After the Emperor's performance, he began to parade the army.

The troops under review were the Tianwu Army, with 10,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and 2,000 artillery, and the team was arranged for ten miles.

The infantry and artillery were in the middle of the ranks, the cavalry was divided into two wings, and Zhu Cihong rode through the middle to inspect the troops.

In the midst of a drum beat, a loud horn sounded, first the infantry marched in formation, the horn sounded, the march also stopped, and so on, three advances and three stops.

Suddenly the trumpets sounded, and all the cavalry shouted forward, and ten thousand horses galloped, and the sound shook the valley.

Then, the Shenwu army fired a volley of guns, and the sound shook the earth.

The artillery also performed an excellent live-fire target shooting performance, allowing the leaders of the Mongolian tribes to observe the firing effect of the musket artillery at close range.

Taken by the power of the artillery of the Shenwu Army, Batur Huntaiji and other leaders were terrified and almost dodged sideways.

Zhu Cihong was not afraid of revealing the secrets of muskets and artillery, not to mention that the gun technology of the Ming Dynasty had reached a high level, and the production method had also departed from the pure handicraft workshop production, and became large-scale, molded, and large-scale production.

With the current technical level of various Mongolian departments, it is okay to make pots and pans, but if you want to make guns and cannons, you should wash and sleep.

Even if they can imitate some, at most they are at the level of bird guns and rumi guns, and most of the firearms they use are purchased from Russia.

The more the Ming Dynasty was so open, the more the Mongolian ministries thought that the Ming Dynasty had nothing to fear and its strength was unfathomable.

The whole parade lasted for half a day, although it was much smaller than the previous Shenlie Mountain parade, but it was enough to deter the Mongolian tribes.

The leaders of the Mongolian tribes were very surprised, shocked, and convinced by the powerful military appearance, solemn military might, strict military discipline, and new ordnance of the Ming army.

Since then, no one present has dared to speak lightly against the Ming Dynasty.
