Chapter Seventy-Five: Implementing the Silage Law

It is even said that if Shaofu is a new yamen, the court has not yet gotten used to this yamen. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Duanmurui to be in charge of this yamen.

Even if he is now above the Shaofu Cheng, not the Shaofu Commander served by Liu Dingzhi.

However, Zhu Qizhen wants to change him now, but it is not because of his qualifications.

After all, in Zhu Qizhen's view, Shaofu should never be occupied by the imperial examination, and Liu Dingzhi is just a special case.

There are two reasons why Zhu Qizhen sent Duanmurui there.

The first one, Duanmu Rui's ability Zhu Qizhen is understood, and although the Duanmu family has withered for a while, and now it has also been pressed to Duanmuzi, the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics, although he is not a high-ranking official, but he also has dignity.

Don't think like a eunuch, insatiable.

The implementation of the silage method is a strategic behavior of Zhu Qizhen and an important strategy to block the grassland. In this matter, there must be no mistakes.

Therefore, those who are sent to implement this technology in the past must be elite soldiers.

Zhu Qizhen thought about sending a civil official over.

But after thinking about it, I still gave up.

Because Daning, Kaiping, and other places are on the grassland. It is all the nobles who are in charge, which is conducive to the Ming army's operations. If the rank of the civil official is high, it is estimated that there is a struggle for power, and if the rank of the person is low, if people pay attention to this matter.

Therefore, such an errand is most suitable for eunuchs to do.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't trust the eunuchs.

It's not that they don't trust the loyalty of the eunuchs, but they don't trust their ability to do things.

And Duanmurui entered Zhu Qizhen's sight, his ability to do things has been tested, and he is from the inner court, so he can be used as a messenger. Replace the functions of certain eunuchs.

The second reason is because of Liu Dingzhi.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen has any opinions about Liu Dingzhi, but Liu Dingzhi has now become a cabinet minister, in charge of the world's finances, but he knows the financial figures of the inner court well.

Zhu Qizhen felt that this was inappropriate.

Liu Dingzhi is in charge of finance as a cabinet member, and he is naturally qualified to know some specific numbers of Shaofu, but the problem is that after all, he is from the outer court, and the inner court should keep a distance from him.

And Duanmurui is a person drawn out by Liu Dingyi, and the two are inseparable at all.

That's not going to work

That's why Zhu Qizhen started like this.

It's one thing what Duanmu Rui thinks in his heart, but he doesn't have the confidence to resist the decree, so he can only say: "The minister's decree." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I won't let you alone. Zhu Qizhen turned around and asked Fan Hong, "Is He Yong here?" ”

Fan Hong said: "It's already here. ”

Zhu Qizhen said, "Let him in." ”

This person is Zhu Qizhen used to govern

A killer feature of the steppe.

This man is none other than the grandson of Arutai.

The son of Arutai defected to the imperial court before, but he was old and had gone a few years ago, so he left this son. Sent by a hereditary brocade guard.

In order to let his son better integrate into the Ming Dynasty, he also changed his Chinese name.

Why is it called Heyong, but Arutai was named the king of Hening by the Ming Dynasty.

Although Arutai has been dead for twenty years, it stands to reason that if He Yong goes to Mongolia alone, it will be useless.

But there is a Ming Dynasty behind He Yong, which has a great effect.

He Yong came in and saluted, and said: "The ministers pay homage to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Zhu Qizhen saw that He Yong was a short and stout man, probably in his thirties. He has a round face and a big beard, but he looks quite brave.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Heqing, please." ”

He Yong immediately stood up and stood with his hands down.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty emperors who loved to use Tartar generals in history, Zhu Qizhen never liked to use Tartar generals, not because he doubted their loyalty, but because Zhu Qizhen believed that it was inevitable for history to replace cold weapons with firearms.

The so-called Tartar generals are battle modes that are doomed to perish

Why should Zhu Qizhen bother to cultivate.

But for the Tartars who have been sinicized, they will be treated equally. In a way, this group of people is more loyal.

Because he is an outlier in the circle of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, he is a niche person, and he can only rely on the Ming Emperor to occupy a place in the center.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Duanmuqing, tell him about silage." ”

"Yes." Immediately, Duanmurui told He Yong about this technique.

When He Yong heard this, he didn't react for a while, and said in a daze: "In other words, with this method, even in winter, the livestock have forage to eat?" ”

Duanmuri said: "Exactly. ”

He Yong suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

He Yong is a Mongolian, and although he also speaks Chinese, he is only fluent. So I don't know how to say the words used to praise the saints, so it's just a sentence: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." He said it over and over again, kowtowing as he spoke.

It's a little clumsy and ridiculous, but it's sincere.

Because if you are not a party to the case, you will not know how hard the Mongolian people are living.

This method is just an ordinary method in the Ming Dynasty, but on the grassland, it can save countless lives. When He Yong fled to Daming with his father, he was already a teenager.

At that time, he was already a little adult, so he naturally knew the ruthlessness of the white plague on the grassland.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's get up." Zhu Qizhen gave an order, and immediately a eunuch helped He Yong up.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I want to implement this law on the grassland, what do you think? ”

He Yong said

Said: "The minister dares to guarantee that the grassland warriors are willing to die for Da Ming." I will die for Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't take it seriously.

After all, there were too many people who swore allegiance in front of him, and as for how true and false what they said, Zhu Qizhen didn't dig into it at all.

But there seems to be a characteristic that the more ignorant the people are, the longer they will remember their kindness, and the more they read, the more they know, will be ungrateful, and beautify what others do not know.

He Yong's judgment was right, because of the implementation of the silage law, in the later period of orthodoxy, and even for a long time after Zhu Qizhen's death, Mongolia was the most loyal courtier of the Ming royal family. For the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many Mongols died in Central Asia.

Even the Ming Zhu family has a tendency to surpass the Xiao'er Jin family on the grassland.

Silage may not be the only reason, but it is one of the most important.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Duanmurui, go down and prepare." ”

Duanmu Rui immediately knew that the following words were not what he should have heard, and immediately retreated.

Zhu Qizhen paced and said: "He Yong, I won't talk about the grievances between Emperor Taizong and King Hening, since I ascended the throne, I have always wanted to make peace with the Han land and grassland. ”

"Life is sad on the grassland, but there are also many disasters in various parts of my Ming Dynasty, but the imperial court has a lot of relief. And the grassland can not survive, can only go south to plunder, cholera two countries, from then on, the descendants of the two countries, can only lick the blood with a knife, only to have a bite to eat. ”

"What I want to tell you is that this is not the only fate of the grassland, and the people of the grassland can only have a good life by relying on the Central Plains, so that they will not struggle between life and death all the time."

He Yong has long since stood in his position.

Arutai's legacy is long gone, and his current glory and wealth are given by the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he had to speak on the side of Daming.

As for what Zhu Qizhen said, it may not be wrong.

The reason why I always want to go south is nothing more than the economic inautonomy on the grassland. Unable to resist natural and man-made disasters on the grassland. Only by seizing the Central Plains can their lives be greatly changed.

It is only necessary to have materials from the Central Plains, but there may not be only one way.

If you can't beat it, you can join the other party, and in Heyong's opinion, there is nothing. Everyone who can survive on the grassland is a very pragmatic person.

Not to mention that He Yong's ass was already sitting on Daming's side at the moment, he naturally agreed with Zhu Qizhen's words, and said: "Your Majesty's brilliance shines on the grassland like a loving father, which is the well-being of the people of the grassland." The protection of the Immortal Heaven, Your Majesty is the embodiment of the Immortal Heaven. ”

He Yong is a devout shaman. He never worshiped gods and Buddhas in his life, nor did he worship coffins, nor did he follow the customs of the Han people.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care about this, and said: "This time, I want you to go to Daning with Duanmu Rui to implement the silage method, but your task is not only to implement the silage method. ”

He Yong said, "Please give your Majesty's orders." ”
