Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 738 Exchange
Looking at Gui Yingcha on the other side because he was called the first warrior of Mongolia by Chongzhen, Bu Shitu looked a little disapproving.
After being driven out of Guihua City by the Chahar Ministry, he, the king of Shunyi, seemed a little unworthy of his name. Although later, the right-wing Mongol tribes united with the Ming army to defeat the Chahar tribe at Fengzhen and forced Lin Dan Khan to sign a peace treaty.
However, the loss of the Naturalization City, the center of the Cypriot foreign trade distribution center, also lost the economic control of the 30,000 households on the right wing. And without the fertile and fertile Tumut River, the Tumut tribe became an ordinary Mongolian tribe that had lost its roots.
In the end, the king of Shunyi, who could not protect the 30,000 households on the right wing, obviously could not become the leader of the 30,000 households on the right wing. Therefore, the division of territory between the Ming people and the 30,000 households of the right wing of the Chahar tribe ensured the independence of the right-wing Mongolian tribes.
Then, after dividing the grassland for the right-wing Mongolian tribes and establishing an administrative organization in the form of a league-banner, the right-wing Mongolian tribes began to move closer to the Ming people.
Under the wings of the Ming people, these Mongolian tribes soon benefited, first of all, in terms of medical care and education, they were given priority to be taken care of by the Ming Dynasty. The smallpox disease, which was usually heard of by the people, was finally brought under control after the Akito brought cowpox implantation.
As for the gentlemen sent by the Akito, although most of the people who were able to send their children to school were the heads of various departments, it seems that there were not many people who were educated. However, these Ming teachers were able to help these tribes trade with the Ming people, so that they would not be deceived by the Ming merchants who bought their goods at low prices and sold them all kinds of daily necessities from the Kannai at high prices.
Therefore, the performance of the Ming people in the past year made the middle and lower class people of the right-wing departments extremely grateful for the benevolence of the Ming Emperor, and also made them closer to the Ming Kingdom on the basis of the original friendship.
And for those in the upper echelons of the ministry, the trade privileges granted to them by the Ming Kingdom, coupled with a large number of loans, made their lives not only no worse than before the Chahars came, but as if they were living a better life.
Except for a very small number of ignorant chiefs, who took all the loans given by the Ming people and offered them to the lamas, most of the chiefs lived very well. In particular, the Mongol leaders who stayed in Beijing began to miss the comfortable life of the capital after returning to the steppe.
In particular, the wives and children of those leaders, not long after returning to the grassland, began to urge their husbands to change shifts with the people left behind in the capital. Many leaders have begun to think that there is no need to change shifts once a year in the future, and there is no need to change shifts after everyone has finished their division of labor.
Bu Shitu knew why these leaders were making such trouble, in the past, when he led the right wing of 30,000 households, no, it should be said that even when Altan Khan led Monan, the Mongolian tribes only maintained relative peace.
The oppression of small tribes by large tribes, and the battles between small tribes for pastures, can be said to abound, even the famous Altan Khan has to turn a blind eye.
Therefore, the leaders of each tribe are very hard, one is to stand behind the big tribe to avoid being bullied, and the other is how to keep the pasture of their own tribe and increase the population of the tribe to increase the strength of their own tribe.
At that time, the strength of a tribe was closely related to the life and even the life of the leader. Therefore, everyone can't pay attention to it carelessly, and don't let others arch the one-third of an acre of land in their own home.
However, after the Ming people formulated the alliance-flag structure and fixed the tribes in a fixed grassland, all disputes were no longer resolved by force, but were decided by officials in the alliance-flag organization, which made many tribal leaders remove most of their troubles.
When the strength of a clan is no longer a threat to the security of the clan leaders, these leaders will naturally focus more on enjoyment. The leader who stays on the grassland, his life is better than that of ordinary herdsmen, and when it comes to enjoyment, it is naturally impossible to compare with the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the leaders who stayed in the capital, because they served in the religious committee, also enjoyed an additional allowance, so they naturally lived quite well.
Even Bu Shitu, who used to have an ambition, now enjoys this comfortable and comfortable life, where is he willing to break away from the protection of the wings of the Ming people, and then run to the grassland to endure hardships and hardships, in order to make a comeback.
What's more, after the Chahar Department moved westward, Bu Shitu could be regarded as having seen it clearly. The current 30,000 households on the right wing are no longer the 30,000 households in the Altan Khan period, and it may be okay to let them go into battle to kill the enemy, but if they want to eat white meat and drink leaf tea, and live a life of hardship and suffering, it is estimated that they are more willing to surrender directly to Lin Dan Khan or anyone else.
After understanding this, Bu Shitu gave up the idea of not having it, and just kept his name as the king of Shunyi wholeheartedly. With this title, at least the Ming Kingdom still needs him to nominally manage the Mongolian ministries outside the Guan, and he doesn't have to worry about those chores.
After his heart calmed down, Bu Shitu could see that he had a better understanding of the Ming people's policy methods. For example, now Chongzhen is wearing the hat of the first Mongolian warrior on Guiyingcha's head, which is obviously a pit.
Although Lin Dan Khan often used Genghis Khan as an example, after dealing with him a few times, Bu Shitu knew how petty the Great Khan of the Chahar Department was.
When Guiying went back to naturalize with the first Mongolian warrior given by the Ming Emperor, it is estimated that the first person to look at him unpleasantly was Lin Dan Khan himself, as for the feelings of others?
Bu Shitu looked at the opposite side, and then looked at his side, except for the Mongolian general from the Guiyingcha tribe, his face was as usual, and the other Mongolian leaders present were all unswerving, obviously everyone was very unconvinced, and the title of the first Mongolian warrior fell on Guiyingcha's head.
But in front of Chongzhen, no one dared to raise a voice of doubt. This is not because of the identity of the emperor of Chongzhen Ming, but because this young man not only dared to take risks himself, but also defeated the Houjin army, which was considered irresistible by the Mongols, several times.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, most of the emperors who dared to lead troops to conquer themselves were unprovoked by the Mongols, and no one was willing to challenge the majesty of such an emperor, even if he seemed to be just a soft teenager now.
The gold cup that Zhu sent by the inspector was a cup decorated with gold, copper, and precious stones about the size of a melon. The shape of the cup is very in line with the aesthetic concept of the Mongolians, and it is quite atmospheric and heroic.
Chongzhen personally poured wine in the golden cup and gave it to Gui Yingcha, who was the third. Gui Yingcha, who was already a little drunk, finally got a little drunk, and he even held the golden cup and excitedly sang a Mongolian tune for Chongzhen.
After Zhu Youzhen listened, he clapped his palms and said to him with a smile: "Gui Zaisheng is really a high-spirited man, he can capture the enemy when he gets on the horse, and he can sing when he gets off the horse."
As I said just now, I invite you to the banquet today, and the first thing I want to do is to thank you for assisting the Ming Dynasty in resisting Houjin.
This second thing, I want to ask Gui Zaisheng to sell face to me, I don't know if Gui Zaisheng is willing? ”
Gui Yingcha, who was hot-blooded under the stimulation of alcohol, felt that he had never been so beautiful, and for a while, the pride of dying for his confidant came out of his chest.
He put down the golden cup in his hand, walked quickly to the open space in the middle of the banquet, landed on one knee in front of Chongzhen, stroked his chest with his right hand and said: "As long as His Majesty the Emperor gives the order, go to the fire and go to the water, as long as Guiying cha frowns, he is not worthy of the title of the first warrior of Mongolia." ”
Zhu Youzhen immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it really deserves to be a noble Zaisheng, and it is not difficult for me to ask you for something."
Zai Sheng had swept a lot of 36 tribes on the way, and according to the original agreement, I should not have said anything to these captured people.
But after the 36th division succumbed to Houjin for a while, someone finally woke up before the battle and returned to my Ming side. I think of the merits of these people, so I want to ask Gui Zaisheng for a favor, can I hand over these captives to Daming to deal with? ”
Although Gui Yingcha was a little drunk, he still hesitated about the disposal of the 36 prisoners.
This time he sent troops, Lin Dan Khan asked him to bring back these captured 36 people, so as to replenish the population lost by the Chahar tribe in the west. Although the 36th Department of Guanmen theoretically belongs to the 30,000 households of the right wing, it is still in an independent state in practice.
These populations, after being relocated to the Tumut River, were much more loyal than the right-wing tribes who surrendered. Moreover, Lin Dan Khan also hoped to take this opportunity to completely digest the strength of the 36 tribes, so as to avoid letting the Later Jin, Ming, and right-wing Mongolian tribes gain the power of this tribe.
For Lin Dan Khan, these three forces were either obstacles to his unification of the Mongol tribes, his present enemies, or his future enemies. Therefore, he would not be willing to let the 36th part throw into the arms of other people.
Looking at Gui Yingcha's hesitant appearance, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "I naturally won't embarrass Gui Zaisheng, I think what Lin Dan Khan needs is also 36 young people, not those old and weak women and children."
In this kind of weather, I am afraid that I don't know how many white bones will be added to the road to send these old and weak women and children to the Hetao. Therefore, as long as Gui Zaisan leaves those old and weak women and children behind, I will not ask these people for nothing, and I will let people exchange armor and soldiers for them. What about the slaughtering business? ”
Hearing Chongzhen say this, Gui Yingcha immediately recovered, and he hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Emperor is so righteous, if the foreign minister doesn't agree again, wouldn't it be too unconscionable..."
Zhu Youzhen suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, today's two things are over." Everyone continues to drink, and if they don't get drunk, they won't go home..."
After negotiating with Chongzhen to exchange the old and weak women and children for armor and soldiers, Guiying was quite proud, but what he didn't notice was that several small leaders of the 36 departments looked at him and the Chahar people on the side with hatred, and their attitude towards Chongzhen was more respectful.
