"In the past, it was a national war, and now it is a bandit, because the situation has changed......"

After the victory in Jinzhou, Zhu Yongxing issued a holy decree, not to call it the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, not to call it the Later Jin, but to call it the Tartar traitors.

In other words, the current Manchu Qing is no longer qualified to be regarded as a country, and the Jianzhou Jurchen originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and it is justified to regard it as a rebellion. At the same time, this also shows the resolute attitude and determination of the Ming Dynasty. There can be an armistice and negotiations between countries, but there is absolutely no reason to compromise on local rebellions in the country, and they must be pacified and suppressed.

At first, it was called a national war, which was the fear of oneself, boosted the morale of the people, and carried out this war with the greatest vigilance and ability; Now calling it a suppression of banditry means that the war in Liaodong has been a local suppression of rebellion. The change of concept shows the confidence of the Ming court and gives the people peace of mind. At the same time, it also gave the most definite attitude to those forces that swayed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the Mongol tribes.

Without peace, without negotiations, even Jianzhou would no longer be a safe haven for the Tartars, except for surrender, it would be completely wiped out. Those who attach to the Qing are rebellious, and those who do not attach themselves and have a warm attitude will not be treated with kindness by the Ming Dynasty.

The war in Liaodong was ongoing, and the Ming Dynasty was not yet able to carry out a direct military attack on the Mongol tribes that were attached to the Tatars, but they had a helper - the rebel Qing forces led by the Chahar Ministry. Each has its own purpose and uses each other, and the Ming court and the rebel forces have such a relationship, but now they are still cooperating very harmoniously.

The Ming court not only gave preferential treatment and concessions to the border cities of the Chahar tribe, but also dispatched thousands of dragoons to help it fight, and dealt a heavy blow to the Mongol tribes such as the Tumut East Banner and the Horqin Left Banner attached to the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, the Chahar tribe exchanged its own and captured cattle, sheep and livestock for supplies from the Ming court, so that they could continue to fight and plunder. They can also use these materials to attract the attachment of other Mongol tribes.

This was a win-win situation for the time being, as the Ming court got the cattle, horses, and livestock that was lacking, and gathered an armed force to fight the Tartars; The Chahar tribe gradually expanded its power, seizing large areas of pasture and making more and more Mongol tribes submit.

And the Ming court is not without concerns about such cooperation, and it is a problem to raise tigers. That's probably a pretty apt description. When the Tartars are destroyed, will there be another powerful Dongyu group, and will it be another turbulent war?

In this regard, Zhu Yongxing has his own opinion, in popular words, "there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests". And the Chahar Ministry, as powerful as it may become, has flaws that are difficult to overcome. He may pose a threat compared to the Tatars, but Cheng Dù is something that the increasingly powerful Ming State can withstand. Standardization. Institutionalized, coupled with strong firepower, the Ming army will be enough to crush a qiē opponent and sweep a qiē historical general.

And this is Zhu Yongxing's real capital, the real reliance, he is not afraid of the Mongolian tribes, let alone Bulni.

The advanced defeated the backward, and civilization defeated the barbarism. Although there are exceptions to this, the probability is still relatively small. Nomads have congenital deficiencies. As long as there are no problems in the Ming Kingdom, and the times and science and technology are changing in favor of the farming nation, Zhu Yongxing does not think that there will be a unified hero like Genghis Khan on the grassland, nor does he think that Brni of the Chahar Department has such outstanding ability and wisdom.

Of course, the Ming court did not unconditionally support Burnny, and the establishment of various border cities. It is also to win over and control other Mongolian tribes, and form a force to contain and fetter the Chahar tribe.

The Mongols have many tribes, and they seem to occupy a very large area and have great power, but they have never been able to unify them. This is the Achilles' heel, which makes it difficult to repeat the glory of Genghis Khan.

And for nomads, their lives are not as comfortable as they imagined. Just because they have cattle and sheep doesn't mean they can eat meat regularly.

In fact, their life is very busy and hard, all day is grazing, milking, cheesemaking, shearing, tanning, felt-making, collecting animal manure for fuel, and in autumn, cutting grass to reserve for winter.

In addition, they also have to hunt, gather, and even engage in farming, etc., and they are busy, but they are only full of food. Due to the single production, their ability to resist disasters is very poor, and in the event of black and white disasters, famine is inevitable.

Therefore, they often have to use cow and sheep skin felt to exchange goods with the people of the Central Plains, and grain is one of them, such as cloth, tea, salt, iron pot and other daily necessities, which they are also indispensable.

………….

In addition to grain, there are also tea, cotton, silk, tobacco, cane sugar, iron nails, iron pots, porcelain bowls and porcelain plates and other commodities. There are also many local farmers who use trucks to transport vegetables and other goods to the market.

"This is lacking in everything, well, except for cattle, sheep and horses." An officer stood at the head of the city and muttered in a low voice, but Li Dingguo, the king of Jin next to him, heard it.

It's not all in the middle, but it's pretty much the same. In this regard, Li Dingguo also feels the same way. The big city change twice a month, outside the city of Lanzhou, was completely controlled by the Ming army. Of course, the Ming army was only to maintain law and order and deter Xiaoxiao. You know, without the guarantee of force, the nomads still think that it is more cost-effective to rob them.

At first, it was tentative, but the Ming army did not loot, the Ming merchants were not fraudulent, and the fairness and safety of the transaction could be guaranteed, so more and more Mongols went through the border to check the Guò, received a permit to trade in the city, and drove cattle and sheep to exchange for necessities.

The volume of trade continued to rise, and a large number of cattle, horses, and livestock flowed into the Ming Dynasty, which not only provided the Lanzhou Military Region with war horse resources, enabled the cavalry to continue to expand, but also enabled the peasants in the interior to gradually get rid of manpower cultivation and greatly improve labor productivity. And some of the profits earned by the Ming merchants were directly turned into the military expenses of the Lanzhou Military Region, and became the increasing grain and weapons and equipment in the warehouse.

Of course, the target of the Lanzhou border city was the Mongol tribes in Qinghai, and they had no collusion with the Manchus, unlike the accomplices of the Mongols. In border cities such as Datong and Zhangjiakou, the restrictions are much stricter, and it is quite difficult to obtain a market permit.

Under the strict supervision of the government, no merchant dared to violate the regulations and trade with the Mongol tribes without permission. The fate of the profiteers such as the Eight Families of the Imperial Merchants is a lesson for them.

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, looked at the big market that was gradually forming outside the city, and let out a long breath lightly. In addition to the city change, the imperial court also has another policy, recruiting fancai and fighting in other places, is it really feasible?
