"Mongolia...... Mongol ......"

Zhu Jishi held a candle and stood in front of a complete picture of the Ming Dynasty. Including Mobei, Mongol, Eastern Siberia, the Kazakh Khanate, Xinjiang, Qihe, Qinghai, Tibet, and even parts of the Northeast and Outer Northeast, the names of the Mongolian tribes are scattered and marked.

Zeng Guofan, the secretary of Mongolian and Tibetan affairs in front of Zhu Jishi, and Weng Tongyong, the minister of the imperial study, both stood behind Emperor Zhu with candles, and lit them up for him.

This map shows the general situation of the Ming Mongolian problem, which was obtained by Zeng Guofan after spending more than half a year, reading countless archival reports, and sending people to investigate the field. It should be regarded as a very accurate reflection of the distribution and number of Inner Mongolia tribes in the Ming Empire - unlike the population and distribution of various ethnic groups in China in later generations, there are no 56 golden flowers in the Ming Empire, only six ethnic groups such as Han, Mongolian, Tibetan, Miao, Yi, and Annam. Compared with the new China of later generations, there are 50 fewer nationalities! This is not that Emperor Zhu deliberately wanted to engage in Han nationalism, but that the Chinese ethnic minorities in the late Qing Dynasty were indeed not as colorful as those of later generations. In addition to the dominant Manchu and Mongolian (the Mongols are only partially dominant), there is a large Han nationality, and the other is the Miao, Yi, Tibetan and Hui tribes (referring to the true gods of Xinjiang) and other ethnic groups that have very different living habits from the Han people and have large populations.

As for the Zhuang, Tujia, Buyi, Yao, Bai and other ethnic minorities in the Qing Dynasty, there was no unified ethnic name (in the Republic of China, it was only a republic of five ethnic groups), and the treatment was no different from the Han people...... There are no extra points in the imperial examination, and there are no two less and one lenient for violating the royal law. When paying taxes and rents, you can't miss a copper plate. Who cares what kind of ethnic minority it is? Even if the court tosses out a clan name. I don't think anyone wants to join either. It's not like being a child of the Eight Banners...... If it weren't for New China's ethnic policy, I am afraid that no one in future generations would know about these ethnic groups at all.

And Emperor Zhu and his officials have little interest in inventing the nation, and besides, the Han people of the Ming Empire are the ruling nation, and they are also the ruling nation in the entire Greater East Asia region! Just like the Aryan nation of the Third Reich in later generations - under the rule of the Führer, only people sharpened their heads and drilled into the Aryan nation, and they really couldn't stand up to the side and fight for an honorary Aryan, and no one should let a good Aryan go until he was a Slav or a Jew.

So. Those ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty whose culture and inheritance are not so distinct have been rapidly sinicized in the past ten years and integrated into the big family of the Han nation. However, it is difficult for those ethnic groups with very distinct ethnic characteristics, which are quite different from the Han people, and do not live together with the Han people. The Mongols, on the other hand, are the most powerful and probably the most difficult to integrate. So on the map presented by Zeng Guofan, there are still hundreds of Mongol tribes!

Zhu Jishi put down the candle in his hand and clapped his hands, and exhaled heavily: "There are four hundred and dozens of tribes, of which there are sixty or seventy of them with a population of more than 10,000. The distribution is wide, the number of people is large, and the force is strong. have already overcome the pseudo-Qing Dynasty. It is probably not easy for so many people to integrate into the Chinese nation...... What I want is to really fit in. And not a self-deceiving oneself. ”

"Isn't the emperor the Great Khan of Mongolia? Under the decree, who of the following Mongols would dare not listen? "Weng Tongxiao, who has contributed a lot to the issue of Japan's entry into China (Akiko was instigated by Weng Tongrong to grasp the power of the Tokugawa family Yukikaro), now is the time when the spring breeze is proud, although the official position is still the military advisor and the minister of the imperial study, but the title has been promoted to the marquis.

Zhu Jishi smiled faintly, turned his head to look at Zeng Guofan, "Zeng Qing, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the words of the military advisor are only half right." Zeng Guofan's face was solemn and authentic, "The emperor issued an edict in the name of the Great Khan of Mongolia to cancel the name of the Mongolian clan, and of course there is no problem in mixing it with the great Chinese nation. The people of the steppe have always followed the strong, and there was no Mongolian race before the rise of Genghis Khan in the past, and the current Mongols are also Genghis Khan's fusion of the steppe tribes. Today, the emperor's power is far greater than that of Temujin, how dare the people of the steppe disobey? ”

Zhu Jishi nodded slightly, this is the rule on the grassland, whoever has the big fist has the final say! Even the slaughter of a man is justified. Even Genghis Khan called this the greatest joy of men! He is now the Great Khan of the Mongols, and his strength is far greater than that of Temujin, and if the Mongols are not convinced, they will use the methods of their ancestors to treat them.

"But the submission of the Mongols does not mean that they will integrate into the Great Chinese nation, and the name of Greater China and real integration are completely different things. If the emperor wants to truly integrate the Mongolian people, he has to do something for the Mongolian people. It's like the emperor helping to protect the Japanese people. ”

Zeng Guofan shook his head and said, "The minister has been dealing with the Mongols all these years, and he knows that Mongolia is poor and ignorant. The poverty and weakness of the Mongols is not due to the fact that the land is small or the property is not rich, on the contrary, the land they live in is extremely vast and abundant, so that the Han people can get rich and satisfied, and the Mongols live in it are extremely difficult to even have food and clothing. Therefore, in a place like the Kazakh Khanate, where Han and Mongolia live together, the difference between Mongolia and Han has not dissolved because of mixed living, and the gap between Mongolia and Han has become more and more clear because of the inequality between the rich and the poor. In recent years, the Mongols and Han Chinese of the Kazakh Khanate have often clashed and fought, and thousands of people have not been killed or injured in any year. ”

Yes, it was very common for Han Chinese immigrants and Mongols to clash with each other! This was caused by Emperor Zhu's policy of armed emigration, and of course it was also related to the aggressive habits of the Mongolian nomads. Not only in the Kazakh Khanate, but also in the Outer Northeast, in the territory of the Eastern Siberian Company, in Xinjiang, in Qinghai, in Qihe, in the provinces of Monan and Mobei, as long as there were collective farms, there was no time for the conflict between the Han Chinese and the locals.

Moreover, the local Ming government and garrison usually supported the Han collective farms, and the armed forces of the Han collective farms were not bad, with excellent weapons and strong fortresses. Therefore, the Mongols are often the losers in the struggle against the Han Chinese...... However, suffering losses is one thing, but the expansion of the Ming Empire also gave the Mongols in the Ming Dynasty a broader living space, and the large grasslands of East Siberia and Central Asia, which were originally occupied by the Russians, have now become the pastures of the Mongols again.

Therefore, the Mongols generally benefited under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the conflict with the Han people was actually within their acceptable range. In fact, even if there were no Han Chinese, their Mongolian tribes had been fighting back and forth for thousands of years. The rules of the steppe are more respectable than whose fists are hard, and if the Han immigrants are not organized and armed, they are all the masters who can be beaten and killed, and the descendants of these Great Khans are considered useless and inferior. In turn, they always suffered under the foreign guns of Han immigrants, which made the Mongols feel that the Han men were warriors who were not easy to bully......

Zeng Guofan paused for a moment, and said in a solemn tone: "Although it is the true nature of the people of the grassland to be brave and ruthless, it is not a way to continue to fight and kill like this. After all, Your Majesty wants to merge all races into one and seek the unity of the world. Therefore, the minister felt that it was still necessary to give grace and power to the Mongolian seed, and use the method of Huairou education to remove its wildness and then it could be integrated into China. If you want to practice Huairou education, you must first transform it from a nomadic people to a people who are animal husbandry and farming. For example, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places in Monan all have settled Mongolian races, and now they are all the same as the Han people. At the time of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, there was still the Eight Banners Mongolian clan, and now it is completely integrated into the Han people.

Therefore, the minister's opinion is that in order to turn Mongolia into Xia, the imperial court must also use more Huairou education methods, first help them settle down, and then help them turn from poor to rich, which is the same as the Han people, and then educate their young people with compulsory education, so that they can be proud of the people of Greater China. In this way, it only takes 20 years to make tens of thousands of miles of land in Mobei and Moxi forever become the land of China. And the great achievements of the emperor in bringing the four Yi to Xia will also be left behind. (To be continued.) )
