In the past, when there was a famine in the northern grasslands, the nomadic chieftains would lead their troops south to plunder, but now they were afraid of the Rakshasa musketeers and Cossack cavalry behind them, and they were afraid of the strength of the Ming Dynasty's royal army, so they chose to exchange for grain, grass and cloth in the Central Plains through trade. In this way, Zhu Youxiao ordered the heroes, and the leaders of the various departments would naturally give him this face, which was also a helpless move, who let them ask for the Ming Dynasty.

When they entered the Beijing Division, Zhu Youxiao deliberately delayed the time of the meeting, and secretly sent people to take these Mongolian men back and forth between the bustling troubles and the tangled teaching department. These leaders found that the women and wealth that had once been robbed by playing with their lives could now be enjoyed to their heart's content, and as long as they obeyed the orders of the Ming Dynasty, they could even bring them back to the grassland.

In fact, men fight for women and wealth, and if they can be obtained by peaceful means, who is willing to risk their lives. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhu Youxiao summoned the leaders of the various departments in the Imperial Palace, and said straight to the point:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the previous invasion of the Rakshasas and Cossacks caused heavy losses to the tribes of the steppe, and although our army annihilated this invading enemy in the Battle of Uiju, as far as I know, they have their own country in the northwest, with a total strength of 500,000 men. These people are similar to the Wuhu who caused trouble in China back then, they are brutal by nature, thirsty for killing and blood, and they are not the same as the Chinese people with yellow skin and black eyes.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty and the Khans made an alliance in Oirat to jointly resist foreign invasion, and the effect has been remarkable. However, natural disasters in the north have affected not only the grasslands, but also the Central Plains, with grain production decreasing year by year, and 20,000 people in the territory are starving all over the wilderness, waiting to be fed. In this difficult situation, the imperial court still squeezed out food to support the compatriots on the grassland, and I hope you can understand our good intentions. ”

These words were very pertinent, and they were indeed the truth at that time, and several leaders hurriedly echoed them, expressing their gratitude to the Ming Dynasty for their generosity and leniency. Zhu Youxiao pretended to be polite and continued:

"Although the Ming Dynasty has made an alliance with the Rakshasas, and the two sides are bounded by the Ural Mountains and the Black Sea, this is just an expedient measure, once they defeat their opponents in Europe, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not turn around and trample on our homeland again, plunder our wealth, and bully our wives and daughters, so we must take precautions and take precautions in advance.

According to historical records, the Han and Mongols originally belonged to the same group, and they were both descendants of the Chinese people. After Chiyou was defeated that year, some people migrated south to become the Miao people, and another part migrated north to become the Xiongnu people. Now that the Miao have returned to the Chinese family, I hope to accept the Mongols with the utmost sincerity, abandon thousands of years of grievances, and form a flesh-and-blood alliance of the yellow race to resist the invasion of the white race and pagans.

In today's court meeting, I would like to discuss with you khans the establishment of a guard on the Yenisei River north of the former Dzungar Khanate, the construction of a city in the North Sea, the joint relocation of the people, and the implementation of a combination of herding, fishing, and farming, so that the harvest of the steppe can be increased and protected from natural disasters, and the other can concentrate on defending our land and people. ”

This proposal was the result of joint discussions between Zhu Youxiao and the imperial court elite, and naturally it had its maturity, but the Ming Dynasty had fought a war with Mongolia for more than 200 years, and both sides were very deeply guarded. The Ming Dynasty was afraid that Mongolia would become a fierce enemy in the north after reunification, and Mongolia was worried that it would lose the natural barrier of the steppe after settling, so there was a lot of discussion for a while, and finally the Khalkha chieftain Halbara, who had lived in the Hetao area for a long time, got up and said:

"Respected Emperor Ming, Ben Khan very much agrees with your proposal, Meng Han is a family, and now foreign enemies should be united. It's just that the Mongols are accustomed to a nomadic life, and if the nobles live in castles and serfs cultivate the land, how will the security of the steppe be guaranteed in the future? ”

In response to this concern, Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong and others deduced it many times, and replied confidently:

"I did not set up guards and castles to bring the steppes directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but to form a national alliance with the khans. Under the framework of this alliance, each tribe has fixed pastures and arable land, and can independently handle the affairs of the tribe internally, and add mutual markets for trade in goods; Unify foreign diplomacy and military operations, and form coalition forces to ensure peace in the steppes. ”

These Mongolian tribes living in Mobei already lived a hard life, and experienced the invasion of Tsarist Russia, they were already frightened birds, heard Zhu Youxiao's answer, secretly thought that in this way everyone could coexist peacefully and enjoy wealth forever, and immediately agreed.

Of course, this is not a good thing for Lin Dan, who dreamed of unifying the grassland, he saw that the leaders agreed with the plan of the Ming Emperor, and knew that this trick would make the nomads completely dependent on the imperial court, so he hurriedly got up and defended:

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian steppe is as vast as the sea, and there are as many tribes as the stars, so it is not easy to form a national alliance. Moreover, the Mongols were the most fierce warriors in the world, having conquered Europe, Persia, Eclipse and Egypt under the leadership of the great Genghis Khan. Now the invasion of the Rakshasa people alone is like facing a great enemy, and I am afraid that it will be too much of a snake. ”

This is the demolition of Chi Guoguo, and everyone immediately stared at Zhu Youxiao who was sitting on the dragon chair. I saw that the little emperor got up unhurriedly and walked to the vicinity of Danqi, and said loudly:

"Genghis Khan is the pride of the Chinese nation, and I also highly respect his great achievements. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu people who migrated west had entered Europe, and they fought with the Qin and Han dynasties for a hundred years, and were well versed in China's war art and strategy.

Later, Uldinshan led his army into Hungary, forcing the Vandals, Rivi, and Alanchatians to cross the Pyrenees westward and enter the Iberian Peninsula, establishing present-day Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The Goths moved south to hide from the Huns, besieging the city of Rome three times and capturing it. The Anglo-Saxons, under the pressure of the Huns, crossed the sea and fled to the British Isles to establish England and Ireland.

Uldin was a great man, and his grandson Attila became the most powerful king in Europe, with the court on the banks of the Danube River in what is now the Danube. At that time, the ancestors of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Slavs and the Finns, were also attached to him, and entered Western Europe for the first time as servants of the Huns.

In order to gain more territory, Attila commanded an army of 500,000 troops into France and fought a decisive battle with the European coalition in the Catalan plain. The following year, he led an army that suddenly crossed the Alps and attacked the Roman Empire directly, destroying all the cities in its north, forcing the Romans to cede land and sue for peace. After these two battles, the entire European population feared the powerful Huns, calling them the whips of God, meaning that the Huns were messengers sent by God to punish them.

The Han people have an ancient saying called 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river, and now more than 1,000 years have passed, Europe has become a large number of powers, and the Rakshasa is only the weakest one of them. These Caucasians have not only a powerful army, but also a powerful navy, and have occupied more than half the world. The Rakshasa musketeers who had swept across the Mongolian steppes were nothing more than a private army formed by their merchants themselves, not a regular army cultivated by the state, and I concluded that this was a temptation on their part and would definitely attack us in the future. ”

Zhu Youxiao was like telling a story, telling the two western expeditions of the Huns and the Mongols, and the blood of the group of tribal leaders was boiling at the bottom. Then he turned around and blew the current Europe into a dazzle, and everyone talked about the tiger's color. Previously, they had made the musketeers of Tsarist Russia toss a lot, and when they heard that these people were just spontaneous armed forces of the people, they were immediately confused.

In their eyes, although the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a fuel-efficient lamp, at the age of sixteen, he began to command thousands of troops and horses to defeat the invincible Eight Banners Force, and then led 100,000 iron cavalry to exterminate the Jungar Khanate.

While trying to stabilize the grasslands in the north, while being determined to seek refuge, the two sides soon reached a consensus and decided to establish an alliance with the Ming Dynasty as the absolute dominance, and the tribal leaders could manage their own internal affairs, but the successor needed to go through the canonization of the imperial court, and worship in Beijing every year, and bow to the Ming Emperor. Externally, the generals of the Ming Dynasty commanded the coalition forces to jointly resist the infiltration of Tsarist Russia, Ottomans and Persia, and maintain the stability of the overland Silk Road.

For these herdsmen who were accustomed to horse hunting, submitting to the Ming Dynasty was not the best choice, but if they annoyed this decisive little emperor at this time, not only would the grassland lose a large amount of aid, but perhaps the tragedy of the Rus would be repeated. Once the Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia jointly attacked the Mongolian steppe, it would be a disaster of extinction.

On the day of the meeting, the autumn wind was blowing on the grassland, and the banks of the Onen River were lush and green. This was once the place where Temujin bent his bow and shot the eagle, and it was from here that he raised his army and led the Mongol warriors to fight until the city of sunset, creating the most powerful nomadic empire in human history.

The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. These heroes were overwhelmed by the vast history books, and today's national alliance divides the northern steppes into fixed plates, essentially cutting off the possibility of Mongolian unification. As the Ming Dynasty fully turned to the era of firearms, the fierce Mongolian men gradually became hospitable and truly returned to the embrace of the Chinese nation. To commemorate this great day, Zhu Youxiao decided to build a castle here, which was named Ulaanbaatar according to the Mongolian meaning, which means red hero.
