What Meng Tuo said is not wrong at all, because in Zhu Youzhen's conception, it is indeed the case, the Ming need to control Mongolia, need Mongolian horses, cattle and sheep, and even need the Mongolians for their own use.

But Da Ming did not have the consciousness to solve the problem in a gentle way.

Daming Shuntianfu.

Zhu Youzhen was sitting firmly above the court, but the ministers below were rarely arguing in the hall.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that to control Mongolia, he only needed to support a Mongolian Khan who listened to the control of my Ming Dynasty, and he would end up in person, and the cost would be huge! One of the Imperial Historians of the Imperial Inspectorate said.

Nowadays, almost all the functions of the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate have been replaced by new bureaus.

Ministers who are capable and have more lively ideas and thinking have been sent to other departments, and those ministers who are unwilling to accept new ideas and are unwilling to admit that they have lagged behind the Ming Dynasty can only guard the old yellow calendar in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhu Youzhen did not object, but asked the household department to distribute the money every month as usual.

The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who have no power in their hands and dare not speak have not lost their temper in front of Zhu Youzhen, but who is Zhu Youzhen... How could it be possible to return the power to them again, every time the imperial historians made trouble, Wei Zhongxian came forward to solve it.

Every time I get good results, almost the same day...

They will be able to understand the emperor's good intentions, and understand that the development of the Ming Dynasty requires them to shut up obediently...

But today's court.

Zhu Youzhen rarely allowed all ministers and relatives of the emperor to make suggestions on the Ming Dynasty's strategy towards Mongolia.

"Phew! One more Mongol Khan? The ambition of the Mongolian wolf, looking at the history of which time it has not jumped out after decades of stability, in the final analysis, it is still useless! ”

"Well said! This official felt that it was best to subdue these Mongols at one time! beat them until they couldn't forget the pain that Daming brought them today! ”

After that, the court was lively again, like a vegetable market on the downtown street.

For a while, the ministers were talking about it, and it could be said that there was everything.

Holding on to his own point of view, he was unwilling to change it, arguing endlessly, and even some ministers blushed because of this, and they had to refute views different from their own.

But everyone knew it in their hearts.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen had to nod and have the final say.

Zhu Youzhen coughed, first, he cleared his throat and prepared to speak, and second... is to tell the ministers, don't chatter, my brain is almost big, I don't want to hear it.

Shut up and listen to my final decision.

"What about the opinions of all Aiqing... I almost understood, but what I was trying to say was..."

With a turn of complexion, Zhu Youzhen's expression became serious again.

"The Mongolian problem has a long history, and it has been difficult for many kings and emperors in all dynasties to solve, and the root cause is... Attack but not defend, or defend but not attack..."

"What I want to do this time is not just to fight the Mongols, but to solve the Mongol problem once and for all!"

Zhu Youzhen's words were loud, and all the ministers were surprised.

Only Wei Zhongxian and other Zhu Youzhen's henchmen nodded as if they were serious, and bowed down to look forward to Zhu Youzhen's next words.

"To solve the problem, we must first understand why there have been constant wars in the north since ancient times, and why these peoples on horseback always love to come to us for trouble!"

"One is the question of strength... Only attack but not defend, once the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty weakens, then their wolf ambitions will be unobstructed, and the grassland people are fierce... Therefore, he came to plunder the Central Plains again and again. ”

"Second... It's a matter of eating, there are not many resources, not good at planting, life on the grassland and desert is not easy, it has been a barren land since ancient times... It is barely better to trade with them, but once the blockade is established, then they have nowhere to obtain necessities such as ironware, tea, and cloth, so they only defend and do not attack, which often only increases in exchange for intensification..."

In fact, Zhu Youzhen has never thought of simply teaching Moxi Mongolia or Tatar Mongolia a lesson, let alone taking care of which side.

You must know that Tatar Mongolia has just fought with Huang Taiji and Daming.

The Tianhu Army also paid a lot of price, how could Zhu Youzhen not charge some interest?

And the best way to collect interest is to get the whole of Mongolia into your own territory.

"I! The decision has been made! After conquering Mongolia, it will divide two new provinces into Eastern and Western Mongolia, send officials, accept displaced people, build cities along the great rivers, and hold on to the steppe..."

After finishing speaking, an imperial historian rushed forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty! It can't be like this, then Mongolia is a barbarian race, so doesn't it mean that the Mongolians are no different from my Ming Han people?! ”

"Isn't it a good thing?"

Zhu Youzhen responded.

Then he sent someone to get a map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

This map from the system was carried up by the little eunuch... Unfolding...

Then all the ministers' eyes were locked on the huge map.

Zhu Youzhen got up from the dragon chair in a step, walked down, and stood in front of the map.

To all the ministers...

"You Aiqing can see that this is the map of the Ming Dynasty and the territory of the world, and it is a map of the world's borders, and it is well-made!"

"This is Mongolia, which is divided into Moxi Mongolia and Tatar Mongolia..."

"Moxi Mongolia has been entrenched in the Hetao area all year round, and although a large number of high-quality grasslands have been taken away, the Hetao Plain is also extremely rich, so it can be developed to this day."

"This is Tatar Mongolia, and I just fought a battle with my Heavenly Tiger Army in Liaodong..."

Where have many ministers in the hall seen such a fine map of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't care about face and etiquette.

Closer and closer...

Closer and closer...

"That's it! Don't squeeze! ”

"I don't want you to be gracious, but at least! We must go all out, not make the slightest mistake, and help the Heavenly Tiger Army win this battle! ”

Above the steppe...

After several days of marching, the overall speed of the army was not fast, but it could be called extremely slow.

Mont Tuo is also riding on a horse, where the leisurely and leisurely look like he is going out to fight...

"Commander! Why are we so slow this time? Shouldn't we be the first to strangle the Mongol attack in the cradle? ”

A staff officer in the back held a map in his hand, and a fan in the other, swaying the breeze.

At first glance, it doesn't look like it's coming to fight...

"No hurry, no hurry! This matter is the division commander... Make your own decisions. ”

"Oh! Commander, do you eat ice cream? ...”

Mongt is not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry... My eyes are red in a hurry...

Hutu Ketu couldn't believe his ears, and his voice was full of incredulity: "The Ming army... Less than 200 miles in 15 days? ”

"Did they crawl?!"
