After listening to Liu Jin's introduction, everyone's eyes were slightly surprised, this was the first time that they had seen the importance of the region where the northern Tatar tribes were located to the Ming Dynasty so intuitively.

I didn't realize this before, but now after listening to Liu Jin's analysis, I suddenly feel that this area is too important to Daming.

"If it can be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, doesn't this mean that the Beijing-Tianjin region of the Ming Dynasty will have an additional barrier, and it will be absolutely impossible for the grassland people to approach the Beijing division again in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but think so in his heart.

The other ministers also nodded slightly after hearing this, and they all realized the importance of this area to Daming.

"If we just want to solve the Warat, the threat of the northern steppes for a short time."

"It's not difficult, our Ming Dynasty is now thriving, artillery and muskets are becoming more and more advanced, more and more powerful, with the passage of time, with the maturity of technology, we will be able to crush the grassland people with muskets and artillery in the future."

"For now, it's not too hard for us to clean up the war."

"On the grassland, only cavalry can deal with the steppe people~"

Liu Jin looked at everyone and continued to speak slowly.

"Last year we defeated the little Tatar prince and inflicted heavy losses on the Tatar tribes, and now there are some Tatar tribes who are willing to join our Ming dynasty, which means that we can get a large number of war horses from them."

"It doesn't take too much to use these war horses to form a cavalry, 50,000 people are enough, and with the fine armor and swords of my Ming Dynasty, equipped with muskets and artillery, a few months of training is enough to deal with the Warat tribes."

"In addition, we can also requisition the Tatar troops who are dependent on my Ming Dynasty, and use the steppe people to deal with the steppe people, which will be easier."

To deal with the grassland people, Liu Jin from later generations knew that before entering the era of hot weapons, only cavalry against cavalry was the best way.

Unless you wait until the muskets and artillery are really mature before you can use infantry to deal with cavalry, in the vast grassland, only a strong cavalry in hand can deal with the steppe people.

The reason why the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were able to defeat the grassland people was actually relying on cavalry, cavalry against cavalry, and then using the advantage of equipment and strong national strength to finally defeat the grassland people.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone couldn't help but nod slightly.

Raising 50,000 cavalry was simply unrealistic for the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, one was that there were not enough war horses, and the other most important thing was that there were not enough financial resources to support it.

But now it's different, there are not a few Tatar tribes who want to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty, they were scared last year, and their vitality was greatly injured, and they were honest.

By attaching to Daming, you can get a chance to breathe, and you can also get a backer, otherwise if they are unified by Wara, their life will definitely not be easy.

Because of the unification of them, they are very likely to lose everything now, and it is different to rely on the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been benevolent and generous, dependent on the Ming Dynasty, and can also get the food, salt, iron tools, etc. they want from the Ming Dynasty, and quickly expand their strength.

Since they are attached to the Ming Dynasty, these grassland tribes naturally have to attack the Ming Dynasty or sell the war horses, which means that they can easily obtain a large number of war horses.

As for the financial resources, this is not a problem, now there is no one in the whole world who is richer than Emperor Hongzhi, not to mention that not long ago he got fifteen million taels of silver from the side of the Wa Kingdom.

With this money it would have been enough to arm fifty thousand cavalry to the teeth.

"What if you want to solve the problem of the northern steppe once and for all?"

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while, thought about it and asked.

The ministers also showed a strong interest at this time, and wanted to continue to hear what tricks Liu Jin had that could solve the problem of the northern grassland once and for all.

"Your Majesty, Princess~"

Liu Jin nodded slightly, thought about it and spoke again.

"If you want to solve the northern problem once and for all, there is only one way, that is, to incorporate this large area of the north into our Ming territory, and at the same time turn the grassland people into my Ming people, so that they can use Chinese characters and speak official dialect like us, and take the imperial examination like us, and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

Generally speaking, it is assimilation, the grassland people have been completely assimilated, they have become the Ming people, so naturally this area is the Ming Dynasty, and they will not pose any threat to themselves.

"Become the territory of our Ming Dynasty?"

"Become our Da Ming?"

Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and they also felt that it was a bit fantastical.

"Liu Jin, if this grassland person can become our Ming people, then it will already become our Ming people in history."

Liu Jian shook his head slightly and said, still a little disappointed in his heart, he originally thought that Liu Jin could say something high, but it was such empty talk.

"Yes, these grassland people are unruly and free to manage, and they are nomadic, we are farming, how can this become our Ming people."

"What's more, they don't know how to educate, they don't know etiquette, they don't know benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, how can they become our Ming people?"

Tong Zhong also shook his head and said.

"Princess, I don't know if you have ever been to the grassland?"

Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.

"This..."

Everyone was silent, who would go to the grassland to endure hardships.

"In fact, the grassland people are also the same as our Ming people, they are very poor, and they are eager to live a rich life, they are the same as our Ming people, they are also raised by their mothers, and they also have relatives and friends."

Liu Jin from later generations has traveled to the grassland, and the grassland people are hospitable, true temperament, and boldness also left a deep impression on Liu Jin.

"As long as we can give them a rich life, they will be as loyal to the Ming Dynasty as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be equally loyal to Your Majesty."

Liu Jin said with great certainty.

In fact, the low-level herdsmen on the grassland, like the common people of the Ming Dynasty, were very poor, and the cattle, sheep and horses they had worked so hard to raise were all encroached upon by the tribal leaders and nobles.

Don't look at the lot of cattle and sheep, they eat meat every day, and they seem to live very well, but in fact, they are also very poor, but they eat cattle and sheep, and they are not really rich.

Once there is any calamity, their ability to withstand it is actually very weak, which is why in winter, they have to go south to plunder, because if they go south, they may die, but if they don't go south, they will definitely starve to death.

"If we want to truly rule the grasslands, we must first distinguish between ordinary herdsmen and tribal noble leaders."

"Then treat them in a targeted manner, for the leaders and nobles of the grassland tribes, we can get them to the capital to provide for the elderly, give them an official position, and just raise them."

"For the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland, we should treat them like the people of the Ming Dynasty, and treat them as the people of the Ming Dynasty to love."

"The world is very big, there are many excellent pastures in the world, the grasslands in the southeast of Australia are one of the best grasslands in the world, and here in the South Golden Continent, the grasslands in this large area are also the best grasslands in the world."

"And they are also the best warriors, if they can become the people of our Ming Dynasty, we can also use them to form the most powerful cavalry."

"When the time comes, we can fight all the way from the east to the west, from the Western Regions, and directly to Europe, even if there is no sea route, we can also connect Europe from the land, and this large area can be included in our Ming territory."

Liu Jin thought about the rule of the various tribes of the grassland when the later generations concealed it.

When it was concealed, the tribal nobles and leaders of the grassland were used to envelop them, such as crowning kings, knights, and continuous marriages, so that the tribal nobles and leaders of the grassland were willingly ruled.

For the ordinary herdsmen on the grasslands, a cruel policy of reducing the number of herdsmen has been implemented, and the number of people in a tribe must always be maintained at a certain number, and all the excess population must be reduced, and the number of herdsmen must always be controlled within a certain range.

It is impossible for Liu Jin to say that he learned this policy of reducing the number of dings, and now the population is not much, and if the dings are reduced, there will be no population.

Anyway, the world outside of the Ming Dynasty is very big, and the Ming Dynasty needs a large population to grab more colonies, and the grassland people will graze, which is also a good thing.

Australia, the Southern Golden Continent, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, etc., there are places in the whole world to graze for you, the more cattle and sheep you graze, the better, the people of the Ming Dynasty lack meat, and need wool, but also need soldiers who can fight well.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone fell silent.

For a long time, when talking about the grassland issue, everyone has never said that they really understand the grassland, and treat the tribal nobles and ordinary herdsmen on the grassland differently.

In everyone's concept, the grassland people are very ferocious and vicious, and they are always coveting the Central Plains.

But I never thought that for the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland, they actually just want to live a prosperous life and live a better life.

To plunder the Ming Dynasty, it is very likely that they will die under the war, for ordinary people, whether it is the Ming people or the grassland people, no one wants to fight.

In fact, what everyone wants to live most is just to be able to support their families with their own hands and live a happy life for their families, so simple.

As for the invasion of the Central Plains, the reproduction of the great glory of the steppe people, and so on, these are just the ambitions of the steppe nobles and tribal leaders.

It's just that their ambition not only hurts the people of the Central Plains, but also hurts the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland.
