In fact, the emperor rarely used any conspiracy, but the conspiracy made according to the general trend of historical development was even more difficult to crack.

For example, the destruction of slaves in Pingliao is that the soldiers are full of food, and then crushed with absolute superior firepower; Another example is the measures taken against the Mongolian tribes, which are even more accurate in terms of the impact of major disasters on the grasslands.

It doesn't matter if you don't naturalize, as long as you can resist Lin Dan Khan's "Annei". Or, when a catastrophe comes, you can count yourself as good if you don't starve to death.

With the two factors of Lin Dan Khan and the great calamity, the emperor knew that most of the Mongol tribes would be subjugated and naturalized.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to raise troops and loot. But the Ming army's growing combat power gave the emperor a strong confidence in victory.

And Ma Chengfei basically made his words clear on this informal occasion.

Naturalization, that is, the people of the Ming Kingdom, the imperial court will do its best to help, not only to resist Lin Dan Khan, but also to supply grain and grass materials.

If you don't naturalize, you won't be regarded as an enemy, the horse market trade is still the same, and Lin Dan Khan wants to crusade again, so please ask for more blessings.

Nuke also understood, although Ma Chengfei also said that in terms of friendship in the past, he would take some special care of the Zalut Department, but this was still far from the purpose of his visit.

Maybe when you meet Man Gui and Lord Yuan, there will be a turnaround, right?

Hunak Duling and Nuke thought of this unlikely possibility, but then they became interested in the Zasak set up by the Ming Emperor.

Zasak, which means "consul" in Mongolian, was historically a military and political title granted by the Qing Dynasty mainly to Mongolians and Manchus.

Zhu Youxiao also used this official title, but the flag divided by the Qing Dynasty was turned into a district, which was mainly filled by Mongolian nobles such as Beile, Beizi, Gong, and Taiji.

The administrative division above the district is called the prefecture, which is equivalent to the "league".

Lin Dan Khan's downfall was doomed, not only did he do it himself, but the Ming Dynasty, without the threat of Jiannu, would not let him unify Mongolia.

Moreover, the policies pursued by Lintan Khan have led to more rebellions among the Mongol tribes, indicating that the political core of Mongol society is collapsing.

The task of the Ming Dynasty was to fill this gap, replace it with its own system and order, and reorganize the forces of the Mongol tribes.

In the emperor's view, the frontier defense was simply unreliable. Look at the Great Wall, built during the Qin Dynasty, but the Han, Tang, Song, and even the Ming Dynasty, did the border troubles disappear?

Therefore, the emperor accelerated the naturalization of the Mongol tribes, and turned the defense line of the Ming Dynasty into a Ping Domain composed of Mongol tribes.

In the process of establishing districts and prefectures, part of the administrative districts will be directly controlled by ministers and generals appointed by the imperial court; The other part was the appointment of the Mongol nobility.

Naturalized generals such as Xiang Fierce Tiger and Tiger Dawei, as well as Man Gui, who no longer argues that he is not a Mongol, have great hope of becoming "Zasak" in the future.

There was only one principle: the local organization of the Mongol tribes could only belong to the imperial court, and could not produce the basis of a new political core to rival the imperial court.

For these, of course, Nuke and Du Ling did not know. Now they only care about how much power they can have if they naturalize the Ming Dynasty, and how big the grassland can be for the tribe.

And these, it seems that even the Wu Keshan brothers are not very clear. Obviously, the Ming court should be very cautious, and the system of setting up districts and prefectures is still in the experimental stage.

"Lord Buhe has been appointed as the right attendant of the Great Ming Rite Department, in charge of the affairs of the naturalization of various ethnic groups?"

Hunak Du Ling was obviously surprised, according to his understanding of the Ming official system, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was a third-grade official, and he was already a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

Wu Keshan nodded very proudly, as a high-ranking official, this is undoubtedly his capital to show off.

Originally, the emperor wanted to set up a new institution similar to the Qing Dynasty's Imperial Academy, but he felt that it was not mature enough, and it was also an expedient measure to temporarily put the cloth and the Ministry of Rites for the time being.

In the future, the emperor will deliberately promote some ethnic minority officials, so that the naturalization work will continue to advance more smoothly.

"Long live being open-minded and treating naturalized people of all races equally." Ma Chengfei interjected on the side: "The Jurchen Yehe, Ula and other ministries also have official appointments, and civilians have their own places to settle. ”

The naturalized Mongol and Jurchen tribes will not only be resettled by conferring officials, but also have long-term supervision and control measures, which will become a tool for the Ming Dynasty to expand its territory to the north.

If you want the tribe to live well, you have to work hard. The emperor is not a good man and a woman, let alone a boy who scatters money, and he will not do anything without benefits.

Hunak Duling naturally knows the pros and cons of naturalizing the Ming Dynasty. It's just a nominal naturalization, and it still retains its independent status, and the Ming Dynasty still has to supply food and materials, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

What was lost was the power of the Earth Emperor, and what was protected by the Ming Dynasty.

Hunak Duling knew very well in his heart that for the tribe, ordinary herdsmen had nothing to lose, and their lives would be better. For the aristocracy, it is certainly unwilling to accept such an outcome.

To put it bluntly, ordinary herders do not have much resistance to naturalization. Just when there were no preferential policies in the past, many Mongols also fled to the Ming Kingdom due to the compulsion of life and became naturalized.

Others don't say it, the fierce tiger sitting opposite, the tiger mighty, and the naturalized flying cavalry battalion, aren't they all from the Ming Kingdom like this?

The establishment of administrative divisions such as districts and prefectures, as well as the organization of administrative organizations at all levels, were aimed at the Mongol nobility and allowed them to retain a certain amount of power.

The proper resettlement of naturalized civilians so that they can live without worries is aimed at the common people.

It's really thorough and thoughtful! Hunak Duling took a long sip of wine, which was spicy and then bitter.

Ma Chengfei saw the change in Hunak Duling's expression, and probably guessed what he was thinking. He didn't really care if his subordinates could be naturalized.

In the current situation, the naturalized Ming can still retain some power and manage the people. But if Lin Dan Khan gives "Anne", then there will be nothing.

The lesser of two evils, now hesitating, or not being forced to do his part.

"General Fierce—" Nuke suddenly noticed the strange thing on the head of the fierce tiger, and stretched out his finger with the strength of the wine, "What is this, a headband?" ”

Hu Dawei laughed, nodded and said, "That's right, that's right." This is the headband of the fierce general, and he sometimes wears jewelry! ”

Fierce as a tiger rolled his eyes, pulled the strange thing down, buckled it to his eyes, picked his chin at Nuke, and said, "These are called goggles." After wearing it, no matter how big the wind and snow are, it will not stimulate the eyes, but it will not affect the vision. ”

Nuok looked at the fierce tiger-like eyes behind the clear glass lenses, and showed an envious expression.

"The troops have just begun to be distributed, and even the full marshal only has one pair." Hu Dawei explained on the side: "When there are more, I will definitely leave you a pair." ”

Nuke grinned, nodded again and again, and thought: There is nothing wrong with naturalizing the Ming Dynasty, with his own martial arts, it is not difficult to earn such feats as General Tiger and General Meng!
