After listening to Zhu Youxiao's idea, the expression on Xiong Tingbi's face became serious.

This idea cannot be said to be bad, but it cannot be said that it is good. Xiong Tingbi still has some worries.

So Xiong Tingbi said: "Your Majesty, if they become bigger, it will not be good. ”

"Bigger?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I'm not worried about this. ”

This is not to comfort Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Youxiao is really not worried. The reason is also very simple, the tribes in the Central Plains who can crush the grasslands are actually because of weapons and equipment, and to put it bluntly, because of science and technology.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the iron swords and armor used by the Central Plains Dynasty were not comparable to the grassland. The steppe does not have the strength of this production, nor does it have the capacity of this production.

It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that the grassland peoples invaded south, allowing them to learn a lot of things, and as a result, the generation gap in science and technology was smoothed out.

After the Song Dynasty, the north was occupied by the Liao, and the technology of the grassland naturally developed even more, until Mongolia reached its peak, so that there was no generation difference in science and technology between the two sides.

Personal bravery has become the key on the battlefield, and in such a situation, all the power of the grassland tribes has been developed, so that the Central Plains Dynasty has been suppressed, and it is no longer like the Han and Tang dynasties.

Of course, there are many other reasons, such as the self-emasculation of science, etc., which Zhu Youxiao has considered.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, hard power is still very important. So Zhu Youxiao knows very well what he wants to do, he just wants to open up the generation gap in science and technology.

Where is this generation difference?

Firearms, of course.

Build up your own troops, pull them out to fight, unless you encounter a difference in the level before the First World War, there is absolutely no problem, and you can definitely win.

What if they get together? Isn't it going to be crushed and wiped out by itself?

There were no other surprises at all. As long as you want to fight, you can beat them to a crying father and mother.

It is basically impossible for the grasslands to catch up, and the scientific and technological content of firearms is too high, and it is not possible to catch up if you want to.

From the cultivation of talents to the investment of funds and so on, the grassland tribe has no such foundation at all, and it is impossible to reach the same level.

Maybe Jiannu can make artillery, or even a redcoat cannon, but not in other aspects.

A complete industrial system is not something that everyone can play. So Zhu Youxiao is not worried about them growing, but worried that they will not grow.

When they grow stronger, you can easily destroy them by going by yourself. From coercion by force to economic monopoly, this kind of operation is not uncommon in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "They are growing, and we are also growing, don't you have confidence?" ”

These words are actually like chicken soup for the soul, and they have no practical meaning at all. It's just that after such words come out, you, as a courtier, are naturally embarrassed to say that you can't do it.

Xiong Tingbi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Confidence in the minister! ”

"That's fine." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

When I started the wool project, the rest of the things will be easier. If you really want to get rid of this place, there are too many ways to co-opt, provoke, and divide the contradictions between the Red and Yellow Sects.

It's just that you can't mess up, you have to take them over, otherwise Zhu Youxiao will already use all kinds of methods to provoke them.

As for the wool project, the Mongol sheep could not be used for spinning, because their wool was thick and the fibers were thick, and there was no way to use it for spinning. The best spinning sheep are sheep, but there are no here.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew that there were two kinds of sheep in the land of China, one was the goats living in Liaodong, and in the Jilin area of Heilongjiang in later generations.

The wool of this sheep is soft, the texture is very good, better than that of sheep, and the price of combed cashmere is very, very high.

On the one hand, the breeding of Liaodong goats can be promoted, and on the other hand, mixed materials can also be used, such as wool and cotton blending, and hemp blending, in short, there will be a way.

Another kind of sheep is the goats that live in Qinghai, with soft coat color and light texture, and it is also very, very good wool. It's just that I don't need it here now, and I'll talk about this later.

Looking at Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Then let's do this matter and get things done as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows what to do." Xiong Tingbi hurriedly agreed.

"Then go ahead." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

Although on the surface, Daming gave the Mongolians a lot of benefits, but in fact, what he wanted, Zhu Youxiao knew very well in his heart.

Now there is no need to fight with these Mongolians in the north, the grassland is a quagmire of war, once it is trapped, it will consume a lot of national strength, and the things you get are too little, and the gains outweigh the losses.

I need to concentrate on doing big things, to the south, to the south, all the way to the south.

In the next few decades, the days of the grassland and Liaodong will not be easy. The Xiaoice River period is coming soon, and they will all converge on the Great Wall. So it is enough to have a way to stabilize them and balance them.

It is enough to take Liaodong down, let Jiannu fall, and open the passage with North Korea. Newcastle

As for the Mongols in the steppe, it is mainly pacified that it is impossible to destroy them.

Next, Zhu Youxiao's main energy was to develop the economy, colonize the sea, attack the domestic gentry, establish a new capital noble, and at the same time develop a sound industrial system, invade the south, and so on.

After this series is done, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will be rapidly improved, and the overall strength will be developed rapidly.

When these things are done, looking back and cleaning up the Mongols, Zhu Youxiao believes that there will be a very good effect.

At that time, it will not only be in southern Mongolia, but you can go all the way to the north.

It's just that the population is not enough, and it is unlikely that you want to immigrate. Occupy an empty steppe, useless. Even if you build a castle, you can't afford this kind of consumption.

For the current Daming, it is too weak, the volume is not enough, step by step. Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one.

After he destroyed Huang Taiji, Zhu Youxiao believed that the north would be much quieter, and he would have to make some trouble for Lin Dan Khan at that time.

You must know that this Lin Dan Khan has always been eyeing Da Mingke. Before Nurhachi did not rise, Lin Dan Khan also kept making trouble.

And Korqin and Nekhalkha are the opponents that Zhu Youxiao found for Lin Dan Khan.

In this matter, Zhu Youxiao had already thought about it, and after recovering Liaodong, he could encourage Horqin and Nekharkha to fight westward, and let them fight Lin Dan Khan, preferably all the way to Qinghai. It is estimated that this war will last for many years.

When Lin Dan Khan is eliminated, Da Ming can also provoke Nekhalkha and Korqin to let the two of them fight each other.

Anyway, if Daming wants it, or if Zhu Youxiao needs it, the war on the grassland will inevitably continue.

However, Zhu Youxiao felt that there was no need to do that, and at that time, he could shout a sentence: "Those who are hungry are hungry!" ”

The one who learned was Qin Shi Huang!

And in Hetuara City, Huang Taiji's mood is not as good as Zhu Youxiao.

His father's death was too sudden, although Huang Taiji got his father's inheritance, which can be regarded as justifiable, but the people below were not so convinced, even his brothers.

Whoever has become a brother of the year, everyone is eyeing the seat under Huang Taiji's buttocks. This made Huang Taiji's mood very bad, and the whole person became very anxious.

This also makes Huang Taiji urgently need to do something, first, to appease people's hearts, and second, to show his strength. This matter is very important to Huang Taiji.

It was at this time that footsteps sounded outside.

Huang Taiji raised his head and looked over and found that it was the eldest brother Daishan.

This made Huang Taiji's face show a hint of comfort.

Since his father's death, there are not many people who support him, and his eldest brother Daishan is one of them. There was also some comfort in his heart, after all, not all his brothers were staring at his position.

At this time, seeing Dai Shan walking in, Huang Taiji hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Compared with the fear in the future, the current Huang Taiji needs to be good even more.

In fact, in the original history, Huang Taiji also sat in this position under the auspices of Dai Shan. It's just that as time goes by, Dai Shan's age is getting older and his prestige is getting higher and higher, which makes Dai Shan's person gradually suffer and fade out of the core of power.

But at this time, Huang Taiji really needs the support of Dai Shan, so his attitude is very polite and his posture is also very low.

After Dai Shan walked in, he glanced at Huang Taiji, and said helplessly: "See the Great Khan." ”

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Huang Taiji hugged Dai Shan and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago, we brothers don't need to be so polite, the eldest brother still calls me my younger brother in private." ”

"Can't mess around." Dai Shan said in a deep voice.

He doesn't dare to mess around, he respects and cools for a while, but what to do afterwards?

This younger brother doesn't care now, but it doesn't mean he won't care in the future. can't leave trouble for himself, Dai Shan is very smart, and it is not unheard of messy things between his father and uncle back then.

Also How did Chu Ying die?

You can't mess around.

Dai Shan said: "I came over today and have something to tell you. Our people in Zhangjiakou have returned, but they have fled. It's a terrible situation over there, and there's one thing you should know. ”

"Is something wrong?" Huang Taiji hurriedly asked.

The supply channel in Zhangjiakou is very important to Huang Taiji, and many things need to be provided there. For example, iron ore, such as grain, table salt, even silk cloth, and tea.

Why did something happen all of a sudden? Hasn't it always been good?

"People are outside, let him talk to the Great Khan himself." Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji and said directly, the expression on his face was very serious.

It can be seen that Dai Shan's mood is very low.
