"Woo ~ ~ ~ ~ "

At the end of July, with the sound of hooping sounding on the grassland, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses joined forces in the grassland at the foot of the southern foot of the Harawen Mountain (Daxing'an Mountains), thousands of miles away from Beizhili, and ran freely.

In a large tent large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, Lin Dan Khan, who was sitting on the main seat, raised the wine bowl:

"The Ming people have deceived me Mongolia for too long, and this time we are out of breath!"

At the time of his words, in the big tent sat Tushetu Khan, Chechen Khan and Zasaktu Khan of the three major tribes of Transkhalkha.

and the Bodhisattva of the Karaqin tribe, and his son Subudi.

In addition to these five people, the more conspicuous ones are Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng, Fan Wenyu, Hu Erhan, Zilharang and other five people with shaved money rat tails, as well as the Horqin League leader Oba next to them.

In short, when these people appeared, it meant that the Mongolian tribes that existed in the south and north of the desert and the east of the desert gathered together.

Lin Dan Khan scanned everything in the tent and was very satisfied, and at this time, he finally felt as if he had become the Great Khan of Mongolia.

It's just that he also knows that the reason why this group of people can get together is not because they are strong, but because Daming is too strong, and they have to hold together because they have too much pressure on the grassland.

And the reason why they are in a group is also because of one person......

Thinking of this, Lin Danhan deliberately glanced at Huang Taiji.

At this time, Huang Taiji raised the wine bowl with a smile on his face, and didn't seem to care that he was subordinate to Lin Dan Khan.

At the time when Zhu Youzhen sent out the Hetao, Huang Taiji was helping Horqin resist the invasion of Lin Dan Khan and the three major tribes of Mobei in the Horqin grassland at the eastern foot of Harawen Mountain.

It was only after the Battle of Hetao had ended for more than three months that Zhu Youzhen had gone to Xining Wei that he learned the news that the three major divisions of Hetao had been exterminated.

When he learned the news, his first reaction was that Dajin could no longer continue to have internal friction with Lin Dan Khan.

So after consulting Nurhachi, he took Oba to Lindan Khan's military camp, presented a thousand cattle and tens of thousands of sheep as gifts, and took the opportunity to propose the idea of an alliance.

When he heard this idea, Lin Dan Khan's first reaction was not to think but to dismiss it directly.

Young and vigorous, he saw that Huang Taiji was soft, but he only thought that his military might suppressed Huang Taiji.

However, when Huang Taiji said something to him, he immediately changed his mind:

"Hutuketu Khan (Khan), now that the Ming army has recovered the Hetao, and for more than 200 years, once the Ming army has recovered the Hetao, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the Northern Expedition, do you still want to fight infighting at this time?"

With just a simple sentence, Lin Dan Khan's thoughts were shaken, and then Huang Taiji hit the railway while it was hot:

"I am willing to ask the five tribes of Horqin to serve you as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and send troops to help you exterminate the fried flowers of Inner Khalkha, so that Karaqin can return to your arms."

After this sentence was said, Lin Dan Khan was completely untenable, just because if Huang Taiji could really achieve this condition, then he Lin Dan Batur would be the second Mongolian Great Khan of Southern and Northern Mongolia since Dayan Khan during the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods.

Because of this, Lin Dan Khan had the mentality of giving it a try, and Huang Taiji attacked the fried flowers in Inner Khalkha, and the process went smoothly so that he couldn't believe it.

After that, only one day later, Bo Huang was persuaded by Fan Wenhuan to turn against the Ming, and after burning down the Baimaguan Market, he went north and came to the southern foot of Harawen Mountain.

It sounds like a simple thing, but only Lin Dan Khan knows how difficult it is.

From the time he inherited the throne at the age of thirteen, it took him thirteen years to master the Chahar Department and make the three major Outer Khalkha tribes in Mobei submit to him in name.

As a result, the alliance with Huangtaiji began, and in just two months, Horqin and Karaqin successively surrendered to him, so that only Moxi's Warat was still outside his control.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said:

"The great Mongol Khanate now only lacks Moxi, if we can make Oirat (Warat) also submit, then there will be more than 100,000 warriors who control the strings, and they can go south to restore the Great Mongolia and restore the glory of the Great Mongolia during the Genghis Khan period."

An embarrassing scene appeared, and when Lin Danhan finished speaking, everyone looked at the people around them and didn't talk, which made Lin Danhan instantly dissatisfied.

At this time, although Huang Taiji looked as usual on the surface, he scolded Lin Dan Khan for being a fool in his heart.

If you don't show grace at this time, and you still want others to contribute thousands of miles away to help you fight other tribes, even Mang Gurtai can't do such a brainless thing.

It's just that there is no way, at the moment, the Jin State does not have the strength to annex the grassland, and if Zhu Youzhen learns about the affairs of Mo Nan, I am afraid that he will return to Beizhili in a hurry, so Huang Taiji can only say good words:

"The Great Khan said very well, Oirat does need a lesson, but ......"

Huang Taiji's previous words made Lin Danhan very useful, and when Huang Taiji broke off, he immediately reacted that Huang Taiji was going to say something to Daming:

"However, at present, the trade between the Ministries and the Ming Dynasty is cut off, although my Dajin can provide iron tools, but the horse population is insufficient, and I can't make so many iron tools."

"If the army has no way to equip armor and weapons, then I am afraid that after Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qi of the Ming court, returns to Beijing with his troops, he will use troops against Mo Nan in the spring of next year."

Huang Taiji's words made Bo Di and Su Budi sit on pins and needles, after all, they promised Zhu Youzhen back then that they would never invade the Ming Land, but now they are playing a backstab, it is hard to imagine how Zhu Youzhen will deal with them.

"What do you want to say?"

Lin Danhan looked at Huang Taiji, who was talking eloquently, and was a little disgusted that the other party had stolen his limelight.

"There is a shortage of livestock in our country, and there are many livestock in your country, so I would like to exchange iron tools for manpower and livestock."

"Thirty catties of iron for a sheep, one hundred catties of iron for a Han slave, three hundred catties of iron for a horse, five hundred catties of iron for a cow......"

"Of course, you can also use a scimitar, a sheep, a set of armor, a horse, a cloth armor, a sword, a bow and arrows, and a cow."

Huang Taiji's abacus played very well, and he knew that Mongolia did not have too good armor-making technology, so he directly used armor to start tempting.

He wasn't worried that Lin Dan Khan would trouble Dajin when he got his armor, because they didn't have artillery.

Huang Taiji also did not intend to coax Lin Dan Khan to attack the Great Wall of the Ming army, what he wanted was that Lin Dan Khan would continue to consume the Ming army on the grassland.

He understands the system of the Ming Dynasty and understands the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

A simple military victory could not deal too much damage to the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, if they dragged their expedition, the consumption would be enough to drag the Ming Dynasty down.

The Jin State did not have such strength, but the Mongols were different, they were numerous enough, as long as they could be equipped, or as long as they could continue to attack, the Ming army would fall into a long-term passive defensive security war.

At that time, the Great Wall will be on the border for thousands of miles, and the Ming army will not have the heart to manage Dajin.

As long as Lin Dan Khan dragged on long enough, the more time Daikin would have to recover.

I have to say that Huang Taiji thought very well, and Lin Danhan's eyes flickered after hearing this, and he finally spoke:

"I'll exchange five thousand cows for you." After that, he looked at the other tribes: "As for you, look at it yourself......

"......" Hearing Lin Danhan's words, not only did most of the people stop, but Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others had nothing to say.

As a Great Khan, at least the nominal Khan of most of the southern and northern deserts at the moment, it is really ridiculous that you don't even want to pay a little benefit, and you want others to work for you.

Looking at Lin Dan Khan's appearance, Huang Taiji began to calculate how long he could be a shield for Dajin with this guy's character.

To form an alliance with such a fool was a strategic mistake on his part.

"We have to win over some Mongolian tribes as soon as possible......"

Thinking so, Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and glanced at everyone.

Lin Dan Khan's political stupidity also put the entire alliance into an embarrassing situation.

After the meeting ended, the leaders of the various ministries found Huang Taiji privately, basically to exchange armor and weapons.

For the leaders of various departments, Huang Taiji also took the opportunity to release goodwill, and constantly erased some odds and bits in business, so that a group of leaders had a good impression of him.

Of course, this practice also made Lin Dan Khan jealous of him in private, so he issued an expulsion order to Huang Taiji in disguise the next day, asking him to go back to assassinate Lu Wei and prepare armor and weapons.

Huang Taiji also knew the other party's dissatisfaction, but what he gained in this transaction was far more valuable than what he had looted from the barbarian tribe.

The order of tens of thousands of cattle and more than 200,000 sheep is enough for Daikin to speed up the development of Thorn Luwei.

However, their trade is spread among the various tribes with evil intentions, and some tribes that secretly support the Ming Dynasty will naturally not let go of this information.

In just half a month, the news was sent to Zhu Youzhen.

"Huang Taiji, this guy is preparing to temporarily transform the economy......"

Looking at the information sent by some small tribes through the Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Youzhen, who had arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, sat on the carriage and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

With more than 30,000 cattle and more than 200,000 sheep, the former can release more than 100,000 laborers, and the latter can feed the population under Houjin's eyes for a month or two.

It seems that Houjin's food is already insufficient, and the effect of the attack on Beishan Jurchen has begun to decrease, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have exchanged so many sheep......

Zhu Youzhen saw the situation very clearly, Huang Taiji just wanted to arm the Mongols to cultivate an ally and block the offensive of the Ming army for the Later Jin.

The current situation is like that of the Three Kingdoms, the Ming army is Wei, the Jin army is Han, and the Mongols are Wu.

However, this situation is weaker, because the Han of the Three Kingdoms can locally suppress the Wei State, and in fact, with the same number, the current Ming army can suppress the Jin army.

The death of tens of thousands of real captives directly caused the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army to break down a generation, and it will take at least ten years to cultivate it.

It's only been two years now, and I'm afraid they haven't even recovered a mouthful of blood.

Coupled with the large number of Han Chinese they had captured to develop the Northeast, and the arable land could not support so many people, then they had to carry out economic transformation and obtain food from the direction of Mongolia.

Armor was exchanged for cattle, sheep and horses, and the mobility of the army was restored, and more arable land was cultivated for meat.

These three points are connected, and the historical Huang Taiji and Nurhachi also survived until the seventeenth year of Chongzhen by constantly attacking and absorbing the Mongol and Beishan Jurchens, as well as entering the customs many times.

If Li Zicheng is a little stronger and Wu Sangui's bones are a little harder, I am afraid that in a few years, they will fall apart.

The difference is that due to the broken backbone in the Battle of Fuliao, the current Jin army does not have the strength to swallow the Mongols, and can only obtain livestock stably by cultivating allies and form a battle line.

Faced with such a situation, what Zhu Youzhen had to do was very simple, that is, to observe the position of each department, and then decide whether and how to sweep the north.

According to the current information, after the robbery, Bo Huang ran to Haravin Mountain, this place is thousands of miles away, and the burden of sweeping the north is very large, so it is naturally best not to sweep the north for the time being.

No matter how strong Mongolia is, Zhu Youzhen doesn't care, after all, it is no longer the era of pure cold weapons.

He is more concerned about the construction of the Northeast, and if he wants to clean up the construction of the Northeast, he must wait for Liaodong to stabilize.

However, this time is not too long, starting from the second year of the Apocalypse to migrate the people to Liaodong, the first batch of Henan people who arrived in Liaodong will be able to harvest grain this year, and the new land will slowly increase to a relatively stable output.

After the autumn harvest next year, Henan will move to Liaodong, and the three million people in Liaodong, including Liaodong, will tend to stabilize production.

Under this trend, it also means that in the spring of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Ming army will have a supply point of 3 million people and 10 million mu of cultivated land.

The people of Liaodong were not only able to feed themselves, but also produce some grain to provide military rations for the Ming army.

In this way, the expedition can also be formed.

However, judging from the methods of Huang Taiji and Nurhachi, as well as the stupidity of Lin Dan Khan, they obviously will not let Daming spend the six years of the Apocalypse next year safely.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen closed the military situation of the Beizhen Fusi, and at the same time said to the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who was following outside the car:

"Since Nurhachi does not allow other Han Chinese and Koreans to enter, he can consider training some Jinyi guards from the Jurchens who migrated to Zhenjiang before."

"Commander Lu has been training for a year, and it will probably take a while to send them to Beishan and take the initiative to join the old slaves in the way of a small tribe." Qianhu replied respectfully, and handed out a military intelligence by the way:

"Your Highness, there is also this matter that you need to know."

"The twenty-nine princes and eighty-two county kings in the world have gone up and down, please long live the meeting of the West."

"In addition, Prince Rui, Prince Hui, and Prince Gui in the capital have also gone up one after another, and it seems that they can't wait for the overseas domain."

"It's okay if you can't wait......" Zhu Youzhen took a look at the military situation, and then asked, "Has the imperial brother agreed?" ”

"Long live has been approved, and now there are nine princes and seventeen county kings gathered in Beijing, and the rest of the clan relatives are also on their way." Thousands of households replied, and Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly.

Zhu Youzhen didn't feel strange about the urgency of his clan relatives, and even he felt that such urgency was normal.

After all, when the old port was recovered and the news of obtaining so many acres of land was transmitted back to the capital, many people also knew that although overseas was poor, it was not as bad as imagined.

This group of princes dared to go to the capital in person, which was enough to see that they were anxious about the matter of overseas vassals.

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen did not feel a lot of pressure, on the contrary, he only felt that this was a good opportunity for the wool of the clan.

Even if we organize a trip to the West this year, we don't just go to the West and come back when we say we go.

It will be at least a year since they returned, and when they returned, the Twelve Guards of the Navy would go out again to conquer the places they had their sights, and it would be at least a year later.

Zhu Youzhen is confident in the combat power of the Navy's 12 Guards, and if he says that it will be a little difficult for them to start a war with the Mughals in the north, but attacking some Deccan Plateau and coastal princely states, there is no pressure at all.

In other words, before the great drought in the second half of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the kings could organize overseas vassals.

In the capture of overseas domains, Zhu Youzhen was able to collect a sum of their wool, and when they were ready to move and gain a foothold, the great drought began to break out.

The victims that the Ming can't digest will be digested by them.

Not only can it increase the proportion of Han people in South Asia, but it can also feed back a large amount of silver to the imperial court to help the imperial court survive the next seventeen years of drought.

Population migration is not a one-shot deal, and the kings do not have the ability to take out a few million taels to move hundreds of thousands of people in one go.

To move a common people, the vassal king needs to give the court ten taels of migration silver.

Asking the First Guard Navy to help expand the territory and conquer the domain, it will take more than 300,000 taels of silver a year.

After conquering the domain, the domain needs to be guarded, right? When the time comes, the Gongwei Battalion of the Southern Military Governor's Mansion will be transferred to Tianzhu, and there will be 3,000 and 31 people in one battalion, and the cost of a year will be nearly 110,000 taels.

These are all profitable transactions.

That is to say, the vassal king spent silver to help the Ming relocate the victims, and spent silver to purchase ordnance from the Ming Dynasty, and finally asked the Ming Gongwei battalion to help defend the vassal country and train the new army.

Moreover, this training is also tiresome.

Because the training of the new army is over, the number of arch guard battalions in Tianzhu of the Southern Army Governor's Mansion will not be less than twenty at least.

These 20 Gongwei battalions will not return to the old port after completing their training, but will be transferred to the coast of Donghu to cooperate with the Western Military Governor's Mansion to recover Sanxuan and Liuwei.

In short, Zhu Youzhen's idea is to link one link to another, and never waste a little resource.

Under the great drought, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to support tens of millions of victims without expanding outward.

Even if it expands and migrates, it needs enough food.

There are hundreds of princes and county kings of the Ming Dynasty, even if each vassal country only absorbs 10,000 victims, it can solve millions of victims for the Ming Dynasty.

The strength of strong feudal domains such as the Zhou Domain, the Fu Domain, the Chu Domain, the Qin Domain, the Jin Domain, the Zhao Domain, etc., is not yet known, and I am afraid that it will be easy to absorb hundreds of thousands of people.

Moreover, this is only their silver deposits, and if the troops of their vassal states are trained, I am afraid that they will attack many princely states in the Deccan in the inland region.

Not only the princely states, but even the Mughals in the north may collide.

Twenty-nine princes, even if there is only one battalion of soldiers in a country, that can pull out nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention more than 80 county kings......

The vassal kings moved overseas, and the Ming Dynasty could only benefit, and it was a hundred years before they could fight back.

The only thing Zhu Youzhen wants to control is the issue of the domains of hundreds of princes and county kings.

They didn't actually have much to go to, because Levia (Africa) and North Asia Melica (North America) were too far away, and it would take at least two years to go back and forth from the Ming Dynasty with the current seafaring technology.

The vassal kings did not dare to go, and it was impossible for them to go, and they wanted a place that had already been developed.

Such a place must also be able to accommodate hundreds of vassal kings, so only South Asian Tianzhu remains.

However, for better defense, their domains were doomed from the beginning, and they had to be connected.

Because only in this way can the Gongwei battalion of the Southern Military Governor's Mansion better protect them, and they can also advance inland with each other's horns.

However, in this way, the territory of some vassal kings is destined to be a big deal.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen had to come up with a way to get many vassal kings to sign a "non-aggression" treaty before this meeting.

In addition, it will inevitably involve the issue of many feudal lords changing their domains after the war.

But no matter what, the South Asian Peninsula with more than 4 million square kilometers and a population of hundreds of millions is definitely enough for them to toss.

As for the farther places, with the navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty, there are still supply problems, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult in the short term.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian said to the side without raising his head: "Dingguo, bring the map I read this morning." ”

"Huh!"

The immature voice sounded, and Li Dingguo, who was sitting opposite yawning, stood up suddenly, then walked to the bookshelf, took the map that Zhu Youzhen needed, and handed it over with both hands.

Zhu Youzhen, who took over the map, glanced at Li Dingguo, who had been cleaned up well, although he was relatively young, he could still see that his bones and appearance were not bad.

This is not surprising, if the strength is not good, it is impossible to be recorded by the literati of Nanming and Myanmar as a character who singles out the elephant.

Although Zhu Youzhen thought that it was the boast of the literati, Li Dingguo's nickname of "Little Captain Chi" appeared when he was a teenager, and it can be seen that his strength is not bad.

It's just a pity that personal bravery is nothing in the torrent of the next era.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen opened the map, then glanced at the map of South Asia, and after thinking about it, he drew the places on the map one by one that could be settled.

After finishing the painting, he circled the places that could be used as the supply points of the Ming Navy in the future.

Needless to say, the Andaman Islands in the southern part of the Burmese Sea have already sent people to conquer the local dwarf blacks.

In addition to this archipelago, there is Ceylon in the south of South Asia, which is now divided into several small states, which can be used as a military base to monitor many feudal lords.

When they had taken Taungoo, they gathered a large army from the south and fought from east to west, recovering the area north of the Ganges.

From this, one south and one north, it can also be a good way to bind the hundreds of vassal kings on the peninsula.

As long as they maintain a certain number of troops in South Asia, as well as a certain combat effectiveness, they can become a bridgehead for the Ming to defend against the Atlantic enemy.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen circled the Mughal dynasty in the north with a red pen.

This dynasty, ruled by the Mongols, has been founded for less than a hundred years, and has maintained an army of more than 100,000 light infantry + war elephants + artillery + cavalry, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

If you want to take it, you have to rely on the cannibalization of the vassal kings......

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Youzhen put down the red pen:

"I'm looking forward to the clan court after returning to Beijing......

There is a chapter at four o'clock in the afternoon
