"Marriage invitation?"

Liu Jun shook the wine glass thoughtfully, drank it all, and then put the wine glass on the table, leaning his whole back into the bearskin chair. It was a very relaxed and comfortable position, and he raised his right hand and gently pinched his chin, rubbing his fingers against the short mustache.

"If the Mongol princes' intention to marry is sincere, this is a good thing. However, this kind of thing is best proposed by the princes themselves, if we bring it up, the princes will feel that the court is too strong, and they will rebel. Have you figured out whether the marriage proposal was just the intention of Ezhe alone, or did the other princes have this intention? ”

"This matter was decided by Ezhe, and then he has already contacted the princes and persuaded most of them to agree." Feng Sheng said truthfully. One of the important duties of the Jinyiwei was to spy on the Mongol princes. Ezhe's activities were not deliberately secretive, so Jin Yiwei knew everything about it.

"Have most of the princes agreed?" Liu Jun smiled.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing. Now that the imperial court is divided into vassals, if it can marry them again, it will definitely strengthen the relationship with the princes. If it is really possible to make all the princes marry Han women as the main family, and then in the future, the son of the Han girl will be appointed as the heir, then after a few generations, Mongolia will become a vassal of the Han people, or even directly become a Han people. Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was very interested in this.

Feng Yuanbiao felt that something was not suitable.

"It's always a little uncomfortable to be friendly with Mongolia." What he still thinks in his heart is that for more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, if he does not get along with his relatives, he does not pay tribute, he does not pay tribute, he guards the country, and the king dies, even if it is critical, he must be tough.

However, Liu Jun is a more pragmatic person, and he can't just look at the surface of a thing.

For example, in the Han and Tang dynasties, there was indeed a sense of compromise and concession. For example, the generation of male lord Tang Taizong, Princess Wencheng and pro-Tubo Songzan cadres, but the dignified Tang princess arrived in Tubo. is actually a little wife, which is a bit of a loss of face for the country.

However, the current situation is different, if the Han is willing to marry with the tribes, it is not forced to marry, but to marry. It is not even necessary to marry the princess, and if the princess is only the main room after the past, this is a great help to the Han-Mongolian relationship.

If all the princes and nobles really come in the future, they can only marry the Han girl as the main family, and they can only take the son of the Han girl in the main family as the heir, so that it will go down for several generations. It is indeed possible to completely transform the Mongol princes into Han vassals or even Han Chinese.

The temptation is quite big.

The nature of this kind of affinity is completely different from that of the Han and Tang dynasties, just like the difference between a wife and a concubine.

"This Ezhe can't think of it, but he has quite an idea." Zhang Guodong said with a smile. He couldn't understand a person like Ezhe, it was so shameless to send his wife to his wife, and now he could shamelessly propose this kind of plan.

Liu Jun likes Ezhe very much, and the imperial court needs such a person.

However, although his plan is good, if he really dares to give marriage on such a large scale, there is still a very practical problem. Where to find so many women to send to the grassland, and I am afraid that there are not many people who are willing to go. Not to mention such a marriage. The woman selected must at least be the daughter of the royal family and the nobles of the family, but how many people from such a family are willing to send their daughters to the grassland?

Liu Jun thought about it, and he couldn't choose the daughter of the emperor's relatives and nobles. First, they have a high status, and they may not be willing to send their daughters to the grassland. Second, these people are already very powerful, in case there is a son-in-law of a Mongolian prince. Wouldn't it be better for them to be more powerful at that time, and once the tail is too big to fall, there will be trouble with internal and external collusion.

"Your Majesty. How about the draft? Listening to Liu Jun's worries, Zhang Guowei came up with an idea.

Liu Jun's eyes lit up, draft. It's a good idea, in the past, in order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the Ming Dynasty set a rule, and the emperor's concubines were selected from ordinary families. In this way, there will be no strong relatives.

If the Han Dynasty uses the method of draft girls, selects some women from ordinary families from the people, and then marries the princes of the grassland, it is also a good way. First, it is necessary to avoid the unwillingness of the relatives of the DPRK and China, and second, to prevent internal and external collusion.

As for whether the people will be willing, Liu Jun thinks it's not a problem. After all, there are 200 million people in the Han Dynasty and tens of millions of households, as long as it is not coercive, there will always be people who are willing to marry the Mongolian nobles.

Having a son-in-law of a Mongolian prince is also a good choice.

As for whether the girl is willing or not, these years have paid attention to marriage is the order of their parents, and they can't be the master, even if it is an ordinary marriage, it is also a blind marriage and dumb marriage, and they don't know what the people who will live a lifetime look like if they don't enter the cave room.

Of course, the court had to make some compensation.

For example, Xiucai first had to volunteer to participate, and secondly, after being selected, the imperial court would give their family a sum of money. In addition, these selected girls should first be sent to Beijing for one or two years of intensive etiquette training, and learn Mongolian language and Mongolian etiquette.

Finally, you can't directly point out the mandarin duck spectrum. Liu Jun thinks that it is completely possible to have a blind date, and then a large group of Mongolian princes and nobles and their children will have a group blind date with these show girls, so that they can have a preliminary understanding of each other.

If both parties can meet the right one, it is naturally the best.

This kind of blind date is better than indiscriminately pointing to marriage.

The more Liu Jun thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was good.

"Your Majesty, I think we should not only engage in a draft, but also marry the princes of the steppe from the folk draft. Moreover, a noble school can be set up in Beijing, so that all the Mongolian princes and their children can come to Beijing to study. Let them learn Chinese, learn Han culture, and at the same time have a proton effect. Zhang Guodong also put forward his own ideas.

That's not bad, Liu Jun nodded.

It would be better to divide the princes, divide the territories, and give marriages, if you add a cultural assimilation. If the princes and nobles of the grassland all learn Han culture and accept Han culture, then they will soon be sinicized, just like the Xianbei nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the future, they will speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, wear Hanfu, and may even change their Han surnames to take Han names and marry Han wives.

Confucianism's ability to assimilate is quite amazing, and many of the Hu people who were once strong in history but went south to dominate the Central Plains were eventually sinicized. Historically, after the Jurchens entered the Central Plains, they vigorously married the Mongolian people and promoted Buddhism, built temples, and made many Mongolian men become monks, so that the number of Mongolian people not only did not increase for hundreds of years, but continued to decrease.

Liu Jun felt that it was naturally feasible to promote Buddhism to persuade people to be good, but if Confucianism was vigorously promoted at the same time, it would be a powerful weapon to truly assimilate them.

How many Mongolians are there now? The total of the south and north of the desert is about two million, and if the Mongols accept Confucianism, I am afraid that they will be truly finished.

Through the opportunity of marriage and marriage, it is a good plan to summon those Mongolian nobles to Beijing and let them learn Han culture and accept Confucianism.

"I think that the draft marriage is indeed a clever trick. Ordinary relatives and famous families are reluctant to let their daughters go to the grassland, but ordinary people, there must be many people who are willing to have a Mongolian noble son-in-law. Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

Liu Jun also nodded with a smile, even in the future generations, aren't there many Chinese women who go to the Middle East to go on a blind date with the local tyrants. The Mongol princes were nobles, who were not rich and powerful.

The most crucial point of this plan was that the Mongol princes themselves had to be willing, and they had to take the initiative to ask for marriage and be willing to accept these Han Chinese civilian women. Otherwise, the big man can't be forced into them.

"The minister thinks that when the time comes, after selecting these show girls from the people, His Majesty can give them ranks, for example, if you marry a woman who is a Mongolian county duke, you can give the status of county lord or county lord, if you marry a Mongolian marquis, you can give it to the county lord of the county, etc., and if you marry a knight or samurai, you can give the status of a lady, etc."

Another good ploy.

At this time, Liu Jun finally made a decision, "This matter can be operated." ”

Then he turned his head to Feng Sheng.

"Feng Sheng, tell me about the situation on the Jurchen side."

"Your Majesty." Feng Sheng immediately began to turn to the Jurchens' side, "Your Majesty, according to our information, after Dai Shan's death, the two red flags have been in the hands of Dolgon, and even the two yellow, two white and Zhenglan are under his control, even the inlaid blue in Zilharang's hand is also completely subordinate to Dolgon. Dolgon, now the regent of the dynasty, was the true ruler of Manchu Qing government. ”

"Before the Mongol princes attacked Horqin, Dolgon ordered the Horqin tribes to move north to Heilongjiang with him, but Horqin did not agree."

Liu Jun nodded, if Horqin had followed the Jurchens north at that time, the situation would have been different.

"Dolgon is currently in Minghui on the Heilongjiang River, and Jierharang has been transferred to Shenyang."

"What about Liaoyang?" Zhang Guowei asked.

Feng Sheng smiled, "When Ji'er Harang moved to Shenyang, he took all the soldiers of Liaoyang away, in fact, Liaoyang is already an empty city now. ”

"Did the Jurchens abandon the area south of Shenyang? It's very decisive. Zhang Guowei said.

Liu Jun shook his head, "If the Jurchens are really decisive, then they should give up Shenyang as well, transfer all the soldiers, horses, and population and materials south of Harwin to the north such as Harwin and Yuanhui, and burn all the cities and villages in the south, only in this way can there be some obstacles to our eastward advance." Now like this, on the one hand, he gave up Liaoyang and other places, but on the other hand, after the main force went north to Minghui, he still left soldiers and horses to guard Shenyang. ”

Zhang Guodong and several other generals also agreed with Liu Jun's view, either they would fight and stick to the first battle, or they would withdraw and withdraw decisively. Now this reaction of the Qing people is full of hesitation.

"Your Majesty, directly send troops to surround Shenyang and take Liaodong."

"Don't worry, aren't the Mongol princes very interested in the Eastern Expedition to the Jurchens, so let them go and fight well."

Zhang Guodong smacked his mouth, "Liaodong is empty now, if you let the Mongolian princes fight, the money, grain and population will be theirs, it's too cheap for them." ”

Liu Jun smiled, "This is just a little benefit that I deliberately gave them, even if the horses want to run, why don't they let the horses eat grass." What's more, now that Liaodong has a little belongings, what is worth staring at. (To be continued.) )
