Besides.

It also allows them to have enough to hold on until the remaining cattle and sheep grow up, and return to the peaceful life they used to live by grazing.

And as long as Daming firmly grasps the cannery, he will hold it in his own hands.

These barbarians on the grassland will definitely not have the slightest disobedience.

Otherwise, they will not have time to make the cattle and sheep into jerky, and they will only rot in the grass.

Even if it is born into a rebellious heart, those barbarians who have benefited from the canneries will be the first to crush them to death.

Zhu Bai on the side probably understood Lin Che's strategy, but he asked puzzledly: "Sir, the grassland barbarians are already wild and untamable, if they are allowed to eat meat every day, won't everyone become tall and strong warriors?" ”

"Then once he has a bad heart, I'm afraid my Ming will have to experience a vicious battle~!"

"Sir, it's also a hassle to build a city on the grassland."

"And if those barbarians, regardless of casualties, forcibly break through the city, plunder the workers who make cans, and torture the secret recipe."

"The grassland barbarians have a stable military ration, and they must be able to send troops to my Daming at any time!"

The question raised by Zhu Bai is also what Zhu Fan is worried about.

With the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty today, it is indeed not difficult to build a city on the grassland.

But the problem is that the grassland is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, if those barbarians have any unsubordinate actions.

Even if Da Ming can get the news as soon as possible, the reinforcements will have to go for at least a few months.

The city has already been breached before the people arrived.

"Those barbarians can't even eat salt, and even if they give them the recipe, they won't be able to find that many spices."

"Even if the canning factory is extended to the entire grassland, this thing will only be a delicacy exclusive to the nobles."

"Those ordinary barbarians, the first thing they do when they get a canned food will definitely be their Imperial City cheese and other more shelf-stable food."

Lin Che responded to Zhu Bai's worries in just two sentences.

He also pinched the arm of this little broken child, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is a little stronger than when I first came to the class, and it seems that you also know the benefits of eating more meat." ”

Then I didn't care if Zhu Bai understood it or not.

Lin Che smiled again: "Are you worried about the grassland barbarians stealing the recipe for canned food?" ”

"Moreover, didn't I just say that the premise of giving these barbarians a way to survive is to subdue them and beat them until they compete to become the dogs of the Ming Dynasty."

In Lin Che's opinion, the barbarians on the grassland are the most threatening state.

It was when they ran to the Central Plains to loot in order to survive.

But as long as you take the initiative to attack and beat them for a while, you don't dare to regain the heart of herding horses in the south.

The rest of the problems are solved.

The grassland barbarians who died because of the war will be the living environment of the barbarians who will survive in disguise.

As long as the Ming sees the opportunity, he will rule in the steppe and give some benefits to the obedient barbarian tribes.

The prosperous era that appeared on the grassland because of the war will be counted as the credit of the Ming Dynasty by these barbarians.

Such a combination of grace and power, coupled with the interests of the cannery.

There will inevitably be tribes who will loyally surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and will take the initiative to help the Ming Dynasty eliminate those who are not subordinate.

As for how to subdue the barbarians of the steppe.

None of the Zhu brothers asked this stupid question.

Because, whether it is the Ming Emperor or Xu Da and other leading generals, there are actual examples in front of them.

The problem is not how to fight the remnants of the Northern Yuan on the grassland, but how to find their main force and defeat it in one fell swoop.

And how to establish the ruling power of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland.

Zhu Fan told Lin Che about his worries.

"If you want to find the main force of Beiyuan, the easiest way is to develop it internally."

Lin Che flipped the bubbling skewers and said lightly: "No matter how powerful the forces are, they all die in the end. ”

"And there are a lot of remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who have no faith and righteousness, as long as the price offered by the imperial court is enough, there is no worry that no one will abandon the dark and turn to the light."

"As for how the Ming Dynasty should rule the grassland after defeating those remnants, this is indeed a big question."

Speaking of this, Lin Che put the grilled lamb skewers on the plate on the table to dry.

You picked up several strings of tenderloin, and continued while taking the test: "The situation on the grassland today is too different from the Tang Dynasty. ”

"If you want to use the capital to control those barbarians, it will be difficult to achieve any results."

"So if you want to make those barbarians obedient, Da Ming first has to transfer a powerful cavalry."

"With this as the backbone, collect the strong men on the grassland, and take them to conquer the people who are not subservient, and want to use military force to show the ruling power of the Ming Dynasty to the grassland tribes."

Lin Che's meaning is very simple, to put it bluntly, after subduing those barbarians, he is now under military control on the grassland.

Let these barbarians, who are far away from the king, become familiar with and accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

When the time is ripe, most people accept the sinicization, and then set up a state capital on it, and send civil officials to assist in management.

Zhu Bai asked with some concern: "Sir, to suppress the cavalry troops on the grassland, I think it will take at least 30,000 troops." ”

"Coupled with the barbarians who surrendered, I'm afraid the number will exceed 100,000."

"If the general who controls such a large number of cavalry has any ambitions, I'm afraid that my Ming will not be able to escape the Anshi Rebellion!"

Lin Che smiled faintly when he heard this: "Not to mention, throughout my more than two hundred years of Sheji in the Ming Dynasty, there has not been a general who was born as an orthodox general to rebel, even if the people sent to the grassland by the imperial court look at the strong soldiers and strong subordinates, and have a heart of disobedience." ”

"Even if his men, as well as the barbarians who have been loyal to the imperial court, do not stop him, the military rations needed for an army of 100,000 will extinguish his ambitions."

You must know that Lin Che proposed to set up a canning factory on the grassland, which solved the problem of herdsmen's cattle and sheep disposal under disasters.

So that they can use canned food made from their cattle and sheep in exchange for cheese and barley and other food, and survive the worst famine.

It's not out of nowhere, give them a source of food.

Therefore, the Ming sent an army to rule the steppe.

The food needed had to be transported from the Central Plains.

In the case that the lifeblood is pinched in the hands of the court.

Even if they forcibly rebelled, there was only one ending: the army cut off the general's head and surrendered to the court under starvation.

Zhu Fan's understanding of the military system of the Ming Dynasty is more in-depth than that of Zhu Bai.

He knew that it was not only food that limited the possibility of a rebellion by a large army outside.

Officers at all levels in the army who are in a state of checks and balances can prevent the ambition of leading generals to the greatest extent.

As long as he doesn't rule the grassland army for more than ten years, I'm afraid that as soon as the general puts forward the idea of rebellion, he will be tied up by his subordinates and escorted to the capital!

However, Zhu Fan still has a question.

"Sir, the ethnic groups on the grassland that do not obey the king's transformation will one day be swept away...."

"What if those barbarians who followed the Ming Dynasty rebelled again after losing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?"
