Chapter 497: Strategic Adjustment to Mobei
Zhu Jianji said: "At present, the development of the country requires a lot of resources, and these things, the Southeast Peninsula has, moreover, the Southeast Peninsula has not been the inherent territory of my Shenzhou since ancient times, the cultural gap is too big, even if we lay down the Indochina Peninsula, if we want to assimilate them culturally, it will take at least hundreds of years, but what will the world be like in hundreds of years, although I have foreseen, but it is certain that the Indochina Peninsula at that time must want to break away from the Ming Dynasty, just like the Jiaozhi back then, so once we lay down the Indochina Peninsula, It is to exhaust all means to transport all kinds of resources of the Indochina Peninsula back to China for development, and the domestic resources can be left to future generations, and at the same time, the resources of the Indochina Peninsula have been plundered, and even if the Indochina Peninsula is separated from the Ming Dynasty and lacks resources, they will not be able to develop and cannot pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty. ”
After a slight pause, "And now the construction of the country needs a large number of people, especially the construction of roads and bridges, with the current technology, it is inevitable that people will die, this source of people, Indochina Peninsula must be better than the Mongolian tribes, because once the Mongolian tribes can't bear it, they will rebel, and the Mongolian tribes make laws, can I still kill them?" ”
Of course, it is impossible to kill the common people of the Mongol tribes.
Because everyone is a family.
smiled: "But if the people in Indochina rebel, I won't be polite." ”
Yu Qian was a little confused.
He asked, "Did Your Majesty say the opposite?" ”
The Central Plains Dynasty has always hated Mobei, and the Indochina Peninsula has always been obedient to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Zhu Jianji didn't know how to explain it when he heard this.
After a long time, I remembered a more formal reason to perfunctory Yu Qian, "After all, the Mongolian tribes in Mobei and the Jurchen tribes in the northeast are the same as the inherent territory and people of my Ming Dynasty in the future, and I naturally have to be kind to my own people, but the Indochina Peninsula, I think it is impossible to be ruled by the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so I want to kill chickens and take eggs from the Indochina Peninsula!" ”
Yu Qian thought about it.
But he still didn't dare to agree, "Can the Mongol tribes and the Jurchens really be controlled by the Ming Dynasty forever and eventually form cultural assimilation?" ”
Zhu Jianji laughed, "No, the appearance of Dongfeng firearms has marked the transformation of the Mongolian tribes from the era of being able to fight well to the era of being able to sing and dance!" ”
Yu Qian: "Your Majesty's words are a little too stingy. ”
It's ironic.
Zhu Jianji snorted, "Then Yu Shaobao, this year's grand strategy is to shrink in the north and fully support the south and the Indochina Peninsula to fight to the death, but before this strategy, we need to ensure one thing: that is, the Mongolian tribes will not do their best to invade the south, so is there any way to achieve this goal?" ”
Yu Qian smiled, "It's actually not difficult. ”
Zhu Jianji was puzzled, "Why is it not difficult, when the life and death of the Mongolian tribes are at stake, they can easily give up the last chance to fight?" ”
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty won't think that the Mongolian tribes are really not afraid of death, do you still have the confidence to win the Ming War?" How many times have they won in recent years? ”
Didn't win a single time.
And the biggest hero is the Guang'an Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Now the Mongolian tribes look at the Ming Dynasty, they are a towering and unshakable giant, and if they can, the Mongolian tribes are even willing to learn from Hami's Wu'er and Hetao's Turgot.
】
It's a pity that the Mongolian tribes can't form a unified opinion, after all, there are many careerists, from the free Mongolian tribe to a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and they are constrained, and for the accustomed steppe heroes, life is better than death.
So running away is their best choice.
Zhu Jianji thought about it, but he still had a doubt, "But at the time of life and death, the Mongolian tribes will no longer be able to reap the benefits of the southern invasion this year, and they will definitely move west next year, how can we stabilize them?" ”
Yu Qian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is dark under the lamp, and there is a way that the world is bustling with people, all for profit." ”
Zhu saw Jiji's mouth suddenly, "I understand." ”
Yu Qian smiled but said nothing.
He wanted to know what His Majesty understood, and what he was going to do to keep the Mongol tribes behind.
Zhu Jianji said: "Then the question is, how to operate?" We can't directly say to the Mongolian tribes, you have been beaten too badly by my Ming Dynasty in the past few years, I am too benevolent, I really can't bear to see you freeze to death and starve to death a large number of people every year, so I plan to send you some food, gold and silver, so that you can survive the cold winter this year, this is not my Ming Dynasty's consistent style! ”
In the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, did not get along, and did not pay tribute.
It is the most backbone dynasty.
Still want to send money to someone?
There are no doors!
Yu Qian said: "It's not impossible, but to use the right method, it is definitely not possible to send money and food directly, there is no free lunch in the world, but we can restart the mutual market with the Mongolian tribes, which can allow the people of the Mongolian tribes to exchange cattle and sheep for my Ming cloth, grain and salt, of course, this is to ensure that the people of the Mongolian tribes can survive this year's cold winter, so that the leaders of the Mongolian tribes will not run this year and next year, and they must also enjoy the benefits, so Your Majesty can canonize the leaders of the tribes of the Mongolian tribes one by one." , and reward a large amount of gold and silver, well, it can't be gold, silver and copper money, but treasure money, on the basis of the mutual market, these treasure money will flow into the Ming Dynasty, don't do this strategy well, after a few years, we can not fight the Mongolian tribes, they will be like Hami's Wu'er Department and Hetao's Turghut Department, take the initiative to ask the Ming Dynasty to set up a guard capital division in their territory in the past. ”
There is a condition for this.
It is the current volume of the Ming Dynasty that can support the Mongolian tribes.
It's not that the Ming Dynasty hasn't opened a mutual market before.
But none of them have achieved this effect.
And now the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the economy is booming, all walks of life are ahead of Wanbang, and there is the blood-sucking artifact of the Ming treasure banknote, which can fully afford the oil bottle of the Mongolian tribes.
As long as the people of the Mongolian tribes can live a good life, it is not impossible to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course......
Yu Qian actually preferred to defeat the Mongol militants first.
Your Majesty is right.
The reason that the Ming Dynasty wants to talk to the Mongolian tribes now is based on the same foundation.
Dignity is only above the edge of the sword.
Truth is only within cannon range.
And if you don't convince the Mongolian tribes, you will be an endless stream of careerists to brew all kinds of rebellions in the future, and under internal friction, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will be damaged, which will affect the overall strategy of the entire external expansion.
Zhu Jianji also quickly figured this out, "The mutual market is okay, but the scale and extent must be controlled, the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, we still have to fight them, and kill the careerists, so the premise of the mutual market is that it can only ensure that the Mongolian tribes can survive the cold winter this year, and whether they want to exchange markets next year depends on the situation in the south!" ”
Yu Qian smiled: "Good! ”
The monarch and the ministers are united!
