Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Shoufu's words are reasonable, I will not start a full-scale war with the Mongols now, please rest assured." However, the land of the Hetao must be recovered, and the matter is non-negotiable. The newly recruited guards have been assigned to the Northern Military District and the Northwest Military District, and now the number of Guards troops in the two military regions has exceeded 100,000, and we have obtained nearly 100,000 horses from the mutual market, which is sufficient for our military supplies and for the pursuit of the enemy. ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Elder Sun Ge once proposed to Lin Dan Khan that we would take back the Hetao, but Lin Dan Khan pushed the Ordos Department not to listen to his orders. Lao Chen was worried that if we attacked the Ordos department, would the Mongol departments stand by and watch? ”

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the emperor didn't want to forcibly occupy Beihai now, so he relieved himself. He said: "I am a country of Chinese etiquette, and naturally pay attention to the first salute and then the soldiers. The minister thought that if our guards attacked the land of the Hetao, even if other Mongol tribes came to the rescue, after seeing our military strength, I was afraid that they would retreat in disgrace. The Mongols can't even beat Jiannu, what are we afraid of him. ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "The bachelor's words are reasonable, the Mongols are not easy to fight, because their mobility is too strong, if we compete for territory in the land of the Hetao, with my strength, the enemy's short, our guards will have an absolute advantage." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Sun Ge presided over the mutual market, and the Han and Mongolia were treated equally, although there were many fewer disputes, but it also made some Mongolians arrogant. According to the statistics listed in the last Jinyiwei report, in recent years, in the Han-Mongolian dispute, the Mongols have lost less than 20% two years ago to nearly 50% now. The Mongolian is like this, if you treat him well, he will think that you are a bully, and if you treat him badly, he will be afraid of you. ”

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and laughed: "This soldier's words make sense. Daming is a country of fairness and justice, but when we don't bully you, you want to bully me, then I have to bully you. It is useless to reason with the Mongols, for the nomads, the truth is bows and arrows and knives. So, our truth is that the cannon and the gun, let's compare and see who is better. ”

Bi Ziyan said: "Your Majesty, this dispatch of troops to the Hetao, I am afraid that the treasury will be a little insufficient." ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Issue Hetao bonds, one hundred yuan each, and end with the Battle of Hetao." At that time, 100 yuan will get 25 acres of land. The Yellow River is harmful, mercenary, and I don't believe that no one buys this kind of bond. ”

Yang Lian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in this way, if someone buys 10,000 yuan, he can get 2,500 mu of land, which will violate the principle that the cultivator has his own land." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "In the land of the Hetao, the policy of having land for cultivators is not implemented. The policy of having the land of the cultivators is only implemented in the present territory, and the other newly opened territories are no longer implemented. ”

The ministers were in an uproar, and the Ministry of Agriculture's campaign to own land in the country led to a sharp decrease in the number of large landlords in the country. Some officials who had a lot of land in their families were also forced to sell some of their land to the imperial court as a sign of support for the imperial court's policies. Now that the emperor has said that the land policy of the cultivator will no longer be implemented in the territory he has acquired in the future, then the hope of becoming a big landlord has suddenly appeared, which is really a big surprise.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I will ask Wang Chengen to publicize this Hetao bond in the newspaper, and there is no cap on this Hetao bond, as long as someone buys it, I dare to sell it." If there is not so much land in the Loop by then, then go north and you will always find suitable land for farming. ”

At present, the price of land in the mainland is about 10 to 12 yuan per mu for irrigated land, while the price of land in the river loop is only 4 yuan per mu. As soon as the newspapers advertised, some people began to prepare money, and some of the bold ones began to borrow money from everywhere and even to bank loans, ready to use it to buy bonds.

Zhu Youxiao's policy of not limiting the number of acres of land has enabled the big families in China, who have always rejected the policy of having their own fields, to find a new way to increase their land production. In the letters of readers, many people believe that this policy is the most direct manifestation of the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor, and hope that this method will be adopted in the future of new land development.

Only then did Zhu Youxiao know that it was not that the martial spirit of the Ming people was gone, but because they opposed wars without economic interests. Neither Luzon nor NSW is very attractive to them. However, the land of the Hetao is completely different, first, the land of the Hetao has been reclaimed and is suitable for farming, and the two are not far from the capital, unlike Luzon or Xinzhou, which can only be reached by sea sailing. Therefore, this battle is a rare action that has been supported by people from all walks of life across the country.

This discovery made Zhu Youxiao very happy, he knew that the Ming people did not like to fight, but because they did not have the motivation to fight. This is not a problem, I learned geography relatively well in high school, and the area around Lake Baikal is rich in minerals, especially gold mines, there are more than 200. As long as the gold mines were explored there, the Ming people would definitely strongly support the imperial court to open a passage to Xiaohai so that they could collect gold.

After Sun Chengzong received the imperial decree, he sent an envoy to meet Lin Dan Khan again, asking him to return the Hetao region to the Ming as the Mongol co-ruler, but Lin Dan Khan unsurprisingly rejected the Ming's proposal on the grounds that he could not force a tribe to relocate.

At the same time, Sun Chengzong also sent an envoy to the Ordos Ministry, asking the Ordos Ministry, to move out of the farming area in the Hetao area and keep only its grazing area. Erdos Wanhu Erjin Ngan Phosphorus laughed and said, "Are you Sun Ge always telling jokes? The mutual market can be, and I want my Ordos territory, but it's really wishful thinking. You told a joke, I'm in a good mood today and won't kill you, you bring a message to Sun Chengzong, if you don't exchange markets because of this, I will take the athletes across the Great Wall to get it. ”

After listening to the envoy's report, Sun Ge ordered someone to pass on the words of Erjin Epfuchen to Lin Dan Khan and the Mongolian tribes. Lin Dan Khan still uses his prevarication Dafa to not offend both. Except for a secret letter from the Horqin Ministry, which expressed his willingness to help, no one in the other ministries expressed their opinions at all.

Sun Chengzong wrote a letter detailing the replies of Lin Dan Khan and Erjin Ephochen, and asked the emperor to send troops to reclaim the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Hetao region.

Zhu ordered Wang Chengen to revise Sun Chengzong's recital and publish it in the newspaper, and when he saw the arrogant words of the Erjin and Ephochen, the people in all parts of the Ming Dynasty were indignant and wrote letters asking the imperial court to send troops, defeat the Ordos Department, and take back the Hetao, which is known as the south of the Yangtze River.
