Liu Chengfeng's so-called peace talks are actually a kind of dismemberment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He took out the charter and let Li Ruofan watch it by himself, this is related to the fate of the clan, Li Ruofan naturally didn't dare not care, but the more she looked down, the colder her heart became.
The whole of Mongolia will follow the example of Duoyan Sanwei, although Li Ruofan is nominally honored as king, but in fact it is divided according to the situation of the guards, a total of fifteen guards, and pastures are demarcated between each guards, so that the tribes of each guard can graze within this range, and then the treasure merchants will buy their horses and sheep and provide them with daily necessities.
At the same time, each guard fixed conscription of 6,000 cavalry, by the Ming and Chu State for reorganization, adopt the rotation system, every three years, Mongolia will rotate the cavalry of the six guards to Nanyang to guard all sides, at the same time, there are six guards of the Mongolian cavalry will be stationed in the Ming Dynasty Liaodong and other places garrison, as for the defense of Mongolia, it is responsible for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army will set up guards in Mongolia, build fortresses, and establish towns.
This is actually a copy of the Nanyang reorganization, the strongest warriors of Mongolia must enter the guard army when they reach adulthood, and their food and salary are provided by the Ming and Chu states, but they will also go away to a completely unfamiliar environment.
In an unfamiliar environment, bidding farewell to their familiar hometown, it is impossible for them to cause chaos, they do not understand the language of the local people, and even their eating habits are different, and their food and drink supplies come from the Ming and Chu countries, which makes them have to obey orders.
In fact, before this, the Ming Dynasty had carried out relevant policies against the Mongols, the most successful was Duoyan Sanwei, but due to the constraints of the conditions at the time, it was impossible to implement such a policy on a large scale.
Now it is different, the convenience of transportation makes it easier than before to draw troops thousands of miles away, whether it is the Ming or the Chu State's abundant treasury is enough to support a large number of cavalry.
Most importantly, in Liu Chengfeng's plan, the Ming army would also penetrate deep into the grasslands, and towns and fortresses would be built within a radius of 100 miles. In the past, the Ming Dynasty absolutely did not have such a foundation and financial resources to do such a huge project, and one of the biggest constraints was income.
In the past, the construction of fortresses and military towns was completely only for military purposes, this is the problem, the military is not profitable, the former Ming Dynasty could not afford it, but now it is very different, not only can it be afforded, but Liu Chengfeng is expected to bring great benefits.
Now whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Chu State, the demand for horses and wool is very huge, horses can be used for transportation, and wool can be used for textiles, and the Ming and Chu countries of horses and sheep are very few, Chu has only one Nanzhou can be used, but the transportation cost of Nanzhou is relatively high, and it is still far from filling this demand at present, but Mongolia is different, here is a natural pasture, once the Han people enter, it can produce great benefits.
Therefore, Liu Chengfeng's conditions are clearly stated, and one of the most important ones is to communicate with each other and eliminate boundaries.
Mutual exchange is reciprocal, but the elimination of borders is purely for the sake of purpose, and in the past, the Han people were accustomed to farming and were not adapted to grazing. The reason why you don't adapt to it is not just because of your physique, the main problem is in the organization, no one to organize, it's just a joke to go to grazing alone, you have dozens of people running to the desert, let alone grazing, it won't take a few months to be eaten and there will be no slag left. The grassland, after all, is still the rule of the jungle, there is no law here, there are no rules, there are only fists, whoever has a hard fist will be able to eat.
But now it is different, because in Nanzhou, there is already a precedent, led by the merchants, first in a certain land to rent a large area of pasture, after getting the right to graze, they will recruit a large number of people, not only the wranglers, but also quite a lot of guards, the merchants provide the means of production, and then a large number of people in the situation of hired labor, at the same time, every distance, there will be a Ming army stationed in the town, they can not only communicate with the army in the town, Sooner or later, these towns will also become places for caravans and ranchers and Mongolian herdsmen to trade, with trade, there will be more people, these people need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, there will be more commercial activities, in this way, it will attract more and more merchants, merchants to engage in commercial activities, must hire a lot of labor, and for ordinary people, as long as someone pays them to let them out of the desert, as long as the price exceeds their expectations, it will not be a very difficult thing.
The Ming Dynasty has manpower, and there are also merchants, coupled with the huge demand for wool and horses, so in a few years, it will be occupied by a large number of Han people, and in time, the number of Han people will far exceed the Mongolian people, and the Mongols do not have to worry about their livelihood, their vocation is to enlist in the army, and when they become adults, they will be incorporated into the guards, specially for the Ming and Chu countries to guard the Quartet.
To put it more clearly, this is actually to include the Mongols in a large division of labor system, the Mongols live by grazing, but from now on, like the military households of the Ming Dynasty, they have become professional soldiers from generation to generation, and have become the object of conscription, at the same time, large-scale grazing from the original tribe will gradually be replaced by the pastures of the merchants.
As for the Mongolian nobles, the preferential treatment that should be given is still given, but it is limited to the nobles of the Nanyang countries, who do not have the right to hold the guard, but are worshiped by the Ming court, and at the same time give certain privileges.
Li Ruofan, on the other hand, was crowned as the queen, hereditary replacement, and politically enjoyed the rights of a vassal king.
This so-called peace treaty, in a sense, is beneficial to the Mongols, the Mongol nomads, they are good at looting and war, so go and give full play to the advantages of their battle formations, plus although they have a large number of horses and sheep, but these things are of no use to the Mongols except for eating, but when they fall into the hands of the Han people, this is completely different, mutton can be eaten, wool can be woven, and sheep horns can be used in medicine...... And these huge benefits only need to be given back to the Mongols in a small part, and the improvement of the Mongols' lives is by no means a little bit, not to mention that the Mongolian cavalry will never be inferior to the new army, and the Mongols are born to be the best warriors.
But such a contract also completely destroyed the ambitions of the Mongols, and henceforth they would no longer be readable beings, they would only be vassals, like the Cossacks in the Russian Empire, who could only vassalize this bloated and huge empire, expand its territory, and live on or reward.
Li Ruofan looked at it word by word, her face was blue and white, she was such a smart person, of course she could deeply understand the power of this thing, after a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "Your Highness's heart is inevitably too big, what if I don't agree?" ā
Liu Chengfeng sighed and said: "If you don't agree, you will all die here, and at this time the desert is empty, the Ming Dynasty will retaliate, this king will personally supervise the division, lead 200,000 troops into the desert, sweep all the grasslands, between Han and Mongolia, you and I are mortal enemies, I will use you and your people to deal with the enemy, until you are killed!" ā
Either be my friend or my enemy, my friend must rely on my snort, be my minions, and my enemy must die. This intention is overbearing enough, but sometimes, domineering is very useful, at least for Li Ruofan, who has always been very domineering, and her clansmen, it is the most effective.
Li Ruofan's body trembled, biting his lip silently, the Han people are ten times more than the Mongolian people, a hundred times, once the Han people enter the desert, and build towns, garrisons, and then let the Han merchants go deep into the desert to establish pastures, it will not be many years, it will definitely be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, she nodded her head, it is equivalent to burying all the glory of the past and the current ambition, in exchange for the gift and mercy of the Celestial Empire.
But now...... There seems to be no better way.
She smiled and said, "Even if I agree, my people may not agree, after all, your conditions are really unacceptable." ā
Liu Chengfeng was more simply than her: "This is easy to solve, I just need your consent is enough, as for those who disagree, they can't see the sun tomorrow, this king has never cared about the opinions of the dead, Ming said, you bring the nobles here, I will let them all submit and be loyal." ā
Li Ruofan originally just wanted to use this as an excuse, but Liu Chengfeng's words didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, she sighed, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and said: "You said so much, these things are good for Da Ming, but for you, have you ever had a little benefit?" I know who you are, you are definitely not a person who is self-conscious, haven't you ever planned for yourself at all? ā
Liu Chengfeng smiled, put his hands behind his back and said: "It's not something you think about, and, Ming said, I will send a team of military horses to meet His Majesty the Emperor, you Ming said that you must release people, understand?" If not, then your family should be ready to be buried. Speech...... That's all, I think you have to think about it again, and this king will give you one night to think about it, but I hope you can understand the current affairs as before, and stop doing stupid things. ā
Li Ruofan looked at him faintly, sighed, and said, "The stupidest thing I did was to know you." Okay, can Your Highness let me go back now? ā
Liu Chengfeng smiled, reached out his hand, and lifted her chin......
