Chapter 317: Recruitment is decided
Fried Flower coughed and asked, "Dare to ask Xiong Shuai, how is the treatment of this Mongolian after joining the Guards, but it is exactly the same as the Han army?" ”
Xiong Tingbi secretly praised in his heart, this old guy was not fascinated by this large number of benefits, and first thought of the treatment of the Mongols, no wonder he was able to firmly control the Inner Khalkha Department.
He smiled and said, "Jinong asked a good question. The emperor has always taught us that we should be friendly between Han and Mongolia, Han people farming, Mongolian people grazing, this is the scene that the world should have, and naturally we will not treat Mongolian brothers badly. Mongolian soldiers are treated exactly the same as Han Chinese soldiers, and soldiers who have been in the army for more than three years can apply for retirement at any time as long as they are willing to retire. Those who have joined the army for more than five years or have been promoted to the post of flag commander or higher may have their service extended to the age of 45. After retirement, they are given a pension according to their military rank until their death. Those who are promoted to the position of battalion commander or above can serve all the time, and after retirement, they can be arranged to join other departments of the army, such as the general staff, logistics department, patrol room, and railway patrol and arrest bureau as officials. ”
Fried Flower sighed, he was treacherous, and naturally understood that this would cause the elite of the Mongols to slowly break away from the tribe and become seriously Sinicized Mongols. But the conditions for joining the army are so good, can you still stop it? Can you stop it again? Not to mention the side of the court, how will the young people in their own tribe view their own obstacles.
He looked at Oba as well, and the two exchanged glances, both of them shaking their heads slightly. The general trend is like this, if these people dare to obstruct Daming's plan, then maybe tomorrow the tribe's Jinong will be replaced. My own group of people is already old, and now the young people have seen the strength of the Han people, plus they have eaten enough for a few years, and they have long lost the courage to rob the Han people, but they regard other tribes that have been beaten by the Han people as weak chickens.
Oba opened his mouth and asked, "Is it to recruit soldiers from the tribes and send them to the Guards, or are the Guards to recruit from the tribes?" ”
Xiong Tingbi said: "Now all tribes have armies supporting the Guards, and if all of them are re-recruited, it will be more troublesome, so we would like to discuss with you and adopt a compromise approach, recruit some soldiers from the local Mongolian army to join the Guards first, and the soldiers who are not selected will return to the tribe." At the same time, we will also recruit troops in the tribe, which should reduce the time and reduce unnecessary consumption. I don't know what the leaders think. ”
Oba nodded, in fact, he understood that since Da Ming tried his best to re-recruit the Mongol army, of course it would not be recruited by the tribe and sent to the guards, he already knew the answer when he asked, but he only hoped for an eventuality. In this way, the imperial court would be able to easily select the appropriate soldiers, and the tribe would have less and less influence over the recruited soldiers. Because they can be picked because of their own ability, how much can they have left in this way to belong to the tribe?
Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor has a saying, the friendship between Han and Mongolia is the basic national policy of my Ming Dynasty, and no one or any force can be allowed to destroy it. The Mongolian brothers should be the backbone of the protection of the Ming Dynasty, just like the Han people, and will also become an important part of the ruling of the Ming Dynasty, which everyone must understand clearly. Han and Mongolia are as close as a family, and the Ming Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai. ”
The tribal leaders liked to hear this, and the fried flowers and others heard the faint threatening meaning in the words, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to take the Mongols into the scope of their rule and eliminate the threat of the northern nomads from the root, which was unswerving. The inclusion of the brave and combative soldiers of the Mongols in the Guards was an extremely important measure. At this time, if you go against Da Ming, you will definitely suffer a fierce blow from Da Ming.
One by one, the chiefs of the various tribes expressed their loyalty to the Ming court, and promised that when the court recruited the troops of their tribes, they would push out the bravest sons for the court to choose, so that the Mongols would become an indispensable part of the guards and make due contributions to the friendship between Han and Mongolia.
Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were very satisfied with the knowledge and knowledge of the leaders of the Mongolian tribes, and in the banquet that followed, everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. After everyone saluted His Majesty the Emperor, they wanted to pay tribute to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong stood up with a glass of wine and said: "Today, everyone can respond to the call of the imperial court, so that Chengzong can see the bright prospects of the realization of Hanmeng friendship, Chengzong is happy." Here, Chengzong would like to thank all of you for your understanding and help, please drink this cup. ”
Seeing Sun Chengzong say this, the Mongolian leaders were naturally even more happy, and everyone was very interested, so they kept toasting Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi. How Sun Chengzong was the opponent of these Mongolian men, after drinking two glasses, he announced that he could not drink anymore. Naturally, everyone would not persecute him, so they all gathered around Xiong Tingbi to toast. Xiong Tingbi's amount of wine was excellent, and the cup was dry, which attracted bursts of applause from the leaders.
The next morning, Sun Chengzong specially invited fried flowers and Oba to come, and the four of them had a conversation. First of all, Sun Chengzong opened the sect and said: "Both of them are old men in the Mongolian tribe, and they have experienced the border violations from time to time in those years, and they have also experienced the rebellion of Jiannu. There are some things I don't have to say, fried flowers and Jinong, you knocked on the customs from time to time, and what you did was just to communicate goods with Daming, there should be no annexation of Daming, and the meaning of Meng Yuan should be restored. ”
In this life, he was an enemy of the Ming Dynasty for avenging his brother for a while, and because he wanted to fight against the Jianzhou Jurchens, he eased relations with the Ming Dynasty, and finally almost threw himself into Jianzhou, in the original history, he was conquered by the Jianzhou Jurchens in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. In this life, because Jianzhou was defeated quickly, he can still control the five Inner Khalkha tribes now.
Fried flowers said: "The reason why the five departments of Inner Khalkha are guilty of border offenses is indeed to set up with the imperial court. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I did not want to be oppressed, so I did something out of the ordinary, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor was magnanimous and did not care about us, and now the mutual market is fair and reasonable, and our Inner Khalkha Department is very satisfied, and never wants to be an enemy of the imperial court again. ”
Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "When the mutual market was in the past, there were indeed some people who bullied the Mongolian brothers, buying horses at low prices and selling iron at high prices. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has pursued the principle of equality and mutual benefit, so the border is peaceful. However, the tense relationship with Daming back then was not only due to the unfairness of the mutual market. ”
