Liu Jin's words made everyone present ponder.

For the grassland, everyone does not have an in-depth understanding, and they do not know what kind of life the grassland people live and what kind of pursuit they have.

It's just that according to the past impression, the stereotype thinks that the steppe people are as cunning as wolves, greedy and ferocious.

Now from Liu Jin's words, he actually said a completely different side.

The grassland people and the Ming people are actually the same, they just want to live a better life.

"Will this work?"

"Since ancient times, there have been many grassland tribes who have taken refuge in our Central Plains Dynasty, and they naturally obey us when they are weak, but once they are strong and we are weak, they will immediately show their sharp teeth to us."

"Basically, they all raise tigers for trouble, and they end up suffering from them."

Li Dongyang thought about it and shook his head slightly and said.

The hearts of those who are not of our race will be different, and this point has been bought by bloody lessons in history again and again.

"Li Gong's worries are not unreasonable, it is true that we have been hurt again and again in history, and we have also raised tigers again and again."

"But we also need to be clear."

"The grassland tribes that were attached to our Central Plains Dynasty in history, we did not have any direct intervention in these grassland tribes, but simply gave the leaders and nobles of these grassland tribes a title."

"In addition, there is no interference in the military, economic, and political power of the steppe tribes, and it is still the leaders and nobles of these steppe tribes who have the final say."

"They are attached to our Central Plains Dynasty, they have obtained time and nourishment for development from us, and they have completely independent power, and when they are strong, they will naturally turn against the water again."

Liu Jin nodded, and then analyzed the matter of the grassland tribes subdued by powerful dynasties in history.

"It's like a local prince, all the power in hand, after a long time, it will naturally be reversed, the principle is the same."

"If we want to turn the grassland into the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and turn the grassland people into our Ming people, then we must solve this problem from the root, and separate the leaders and nobles of these tribes from the power of these tribes, and it is best to implement the county system in the grassland area and appoint officials to manage it."

"In this way, these steppe nobles and leaders have separated from their tribes, lack control over the tribes, and even if they want to make trouble, they have no power."

"At the same time, these ordinary grassland herdsmen, they are the same as our ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, but our people in the Central Plains are farming, they are grazing, and they are essentially the same."

When everyone heard this, they thought about it and nodded.

Since ancient times, whether it is a grassland person or a Central Plains person, in fact, it is essentially the same, as long as this hand holds the power of military and political finance, it will naturally breed a rebellious heart.

Because of the differences in culture and customs between the grassland people and the Central Plains people, it is even easier to rebel, and annexation is only a temporary expedient measure, in essence, it is still to get a respite.

With this point pointed out, it will not be difficult to govern and annex the grasslands.

"But what if these steppe tribal leaders and nobles are unwilling to break away from their tribes?"

Liu Jian thought for a while and asked.

"It's very simple, if you don't want to, we will fight until they will."

"Those who are willing to be my Ming people, that is naturally the best, and if they are unwilling, we don't need to be polite to them."

Liu Jin said very directly, Daming's strength is now strong, and he is naturally tougher and domineering to the outside world, and he wants to solve the grassland problem once and for all, if he doesn't have the courage at all, then stay in the Central Plains honestly.

"If the grassland people are the same as us Ming people, what will happen to them after their population grows rapidly?"

Liu Daxia thought for a while and asked, he thought of the problem of population growth in the future.

The population of the grassland has always been very small, and the growth is extremely slow, but if it is incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, with the support of food and medical technology from the Ming Dynasty, this population will definitely grow rapidly.

"Population growth is a good thing~"

"This means that we can recruit more cavalry from the steppes who can fight well, and it also means that we can have more people to use for overseas migration."

"Again, the world outside the Ming Dynasty is very big, just the Golden Continent, such a huge area, the population that can be fed is calculated in tens of thousands."

"When our Ming Dynasty continues to expand overseas, we will only be troubled by the lack of population."

Liu Jin smiled and said, it's not good to have more people, the more people the better. Jiuzhou Chinese

"Of course, the growth of the population on the grassland will inevitably bring some instability."

"Therefore, all the tribes that belong to our Daming, on the one hand, we want to separate the nobles and leaders of the tribe from the tribe, and on the other hand, we want to disrupt the ordinary herdsmen of these tribes, and also move our ordinary people to the grassland, and we must also regularly migrate the grassland people of one tribe to immigrate overseas."

"Ryukyu, Golden Continent, Nanyang, Australia, some places to settle them, move them overseas, they have to rely more on our Ming Dynasty, and they will also be more loyal to our Ming Dynasty."

Then Liu Jin put forward a strategy to disrupt the grassland tribes, migrate the Han people to the grassland, and migrate the grassland people overseas.

There is only one purpose, to constantly break the original tribal system and establish a new system that is completely dependent on the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jin clearly knew that if he wanted to truly make the grassland people become Ming people, he had to work hard from many aspects such as politics, economy, culture, and military to make the grassland form a serious dependence on the Ming Dynasty.

For example, a very simple thing.

In the case of wool, through economic means to let the grassland know that sheep shearing is more cost-effective, they will naturally slowly expand the scale of breeding, and slowly get used to raising sheep and shearing wool to sell, becoming a part of the wool textile industry.

Once this dependency was formed, they became a constituent tribe of the Ming economy, and once they broke away from the Ming, their economy collapsed.

For example, in the winter of the grassland, the weather is very cold, and the cattle and sheep will freeze to death on a large scale, which is a very big loss for the grassland people.

If before the winter, the Ming side buys their cattle and sheep on a large scale and gives them grain, so that the cattle and sheep will be turned into food and money, and their own losses will be much smaller, and they must be very happy to exchange some cattle and sheep for money and food and other living materials.

Year after year, year after year.

They will slowly form habits, and once they get rid of this habit, they will not be able to survive, and their lives will be very sad, which is also a kind of dependence.

So if you want to control the grassland, there are many ways.

Moreover, Liu Jin knew that with the continuous development and maturity of musket and artillery technology, the agricultural civilization would eventually rely on powerful firearms to gradually and completely defeat the nomadic civilization.

Once the capitalism of the Ming Dynasty is developed and the technology is mature in the future, in fact, there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the grassland people again.

Later generations of polar bears developed from a small principality to a superpower, and in the process they conquered many steppe peoples, including the fierce Cossacks and the Mongols who once whipped Europe, so they relied on muskets and cannons.

In the face of powerful muskets, no matter how fast the war horse runs, it can't be faster than the bullet, no matter how powerful the bow and arrow, it is not as powerful as the musket, especially when the machine gun appears, the cavalry is gradually and completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

"That's a good idea~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Emperor Hongzhi frowned and finally relaxed, and couldn't help but nodded.

It is entirely possible to break away from ordinary herdsmen and aristocratic leaders, disrupt the grassland tribes, mix the grassland and the Han people, and migrate the grassland people overseas, and turn the grassland into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the grassland people into the Ming people.

"I think it's feasible~"

"Now that our Ming national strength is thriving, it is a good time to solve the problem of the northern grassland, and once and for all, we will no longer have to worry about the problem of the northern grassland."

Zhang Mao thought about it and nodded and said.

"I'm not as good as Liu Jin~"

Wang Shouren has been listening carefully, and after listening, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had actually thought of a lot of countermeasures just now, countermeasures against the grasslands, but the countermeasures he thought of were not much different from the countermeasures in history.

It is nothing more than to give the grassland people kings and knights, give them favors, make them grateful to Dade, and hope that they can be loyal to the Central Plains Dynasty and so on.

Now after listening to Liu Jin's strategy, he can't help but sigh that he is still too far behind Liu Jin.

"Your Majesty, in fact, we can also try it on the grassland first."

"Aren't there some grassland tribes that are attached to our Daming now, we can start with these grassland tribes that are dependent on our Daming."

"By separating the noble leaders of these steppe tribes, and disrupting these steppe tribes at the same time, we can also recruit troops from these steppe tribes, and we will soon have a strong cavalry."

"Coupled with the cavalry that our Ming Dynasty has set up itself, there is no problem at all in using it to sweep away the Warat Tribes, and we can snowball at that time."

"While constantly conquering more tribes and letting them belong to our Daming, we will use these tribes that have been conquered and attached to continue to sweep the wider grasslands and conquer more areas."

Liu Jin thought about it and proposed a method, or as before, pilot first, try to see if the new policy works on a small scale, see if the effect is possible, and then implement it on a large scale.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly again, yes, yes~
