Chapter 42: Someone Has to Play the Bad Guy

Li Qing has the element of fooling, but he is not nonsense.

The situation in Warat is indeed dangerous, and if this situation continues, it will be a matter of time before it is blown up.

This is a certainty!

And Li Qing did not allow Warat to be defeated, once that situation occurred, Mongolia would inevitably have a unified situation, although the Ming Dynasty could contain it, but the cost was undoubtedly greater, and the effect was far less than now.

"What should this king do?" Boyan Timur was a little anxious.

Li Qing smiled slightly: "Simple, fight!" โ€

Boyan Timur frowned: "Who to hit?" โ€

"Hit whoever doesn't like it." Li Qing said, "The purpose of beating people is to improve your prestige, and now the overall strength of Warat is the strongest in the grassland, isn't it that you can fight whoever you want?" โ€

"That's ...... Wouldn't it be too hated? Boyan Timur hesitated.

As Li Qing said, Warat has always been unpopular with the locals, and if this war is fought indiscriminately, it will be even more difficult in the future.

"King Shunning's words are wrong." Li Qing shook his head, "The stronger and more fierce the Warat shows, the more intimidating it can be, the strength pursued on the grassland, whoever has a hard fist, who is the king!"

Moreover, the use of troops abroad is always the only choice to solve internal contradictions. โ€

After a pause, Li Qing said again: "Through war, you can push Warat's strength to a higher level, and as your strength increases, those who were originally half-hearted will also be more convinced of you;

Because without you, not only will life be miserable, but they will also have to worry about being reckoned, and they will only be more faithful. โ€

Boyan Timur nodded slowly: "Constantly waging war can indeed solve the problem to a great extent, and can make Warat stronger and stronger, but ...... The cost is just as huge. โ€

He sighed: "Even with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Warat Department can't afford it!" โ€

"It doesn't matter, Da Ming can lend you some money first, wait for you to solve the problem, and then slowly pay it back." Li Qingdao said, "In addition, Daming can also provide you with firearms, a large number of firearms. โ€

Boyan Timur was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was ecstatic, with the blessing of artillery, they who had an advantage in the battle would be destroyed.

However, there is also something unreal in his heart.

"Da Ming... Why do you help Warat so much? โ€

Li Qing smiled: "For so many years, hasn't Da Ming always supported Wara?" โ€

Boyan Timur was stunned, this is the truth.

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty's help to Warat is not a little bit, if it were not for the help of the Ming Dynasty, Warat would have been killed by the Tatars who were in full swing in the past.

Li Qing said: "The Ming people don't say dark words, the Ming Dynasty supports Wara, and the purpose is clear to the King of Shunning, so the King of Shunning does not have to doubt the intentions of the Ming Dynasty;

Daming won't harm you, the grassland is without Warat, which will do more harm than good to Daming. โ€รณฮ ัŠ.oั๏ผง

Li Qing said seriously: "We have a common enemy, and Warat is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, who will we help if we don't help you?" โ€

Boyan Timur nodded lightly, no longer doubting Da Ming's sincerity.

Immediately, he was a little worried, and said tentatively: "If Warat unifies the grassland, then ......"

"That's even better." Li Qing said with a smile, "Of course the Ming Dynasty hopes that the Warat Department will rule the grassland, and the monarchs and ministers are like a family, isn't it better?" โ€

This is pure foolishness, and for Daming, no matter who unifies the grassland, it is unacceptable.

For the time being, a grassland that is constantly fighting is a healthy grassland.

If their strength is not used in internal fighting, then their strength will be used at the border of Daming.

And this is still not Li Qing's ultimate goal.

His true purpose is only one,

- Engage in integration!

Warat set off a bloody storm on the grassland, and Daming could run out and pretend to be a good person, so that it would accelerate to the arms of Daming, so as to appease the grassland tribes more efficiently.

Li Qing is very confident, because as long as Boyan Timur does what he says, then Warat can not only solve internal problems, but also gradually become stronger.

And as Warat becomes more and more fierce, the living space of many tribes in the grassland will be further compressed.

For example, the tribal leader who took refuge in him was given to an official.

Don't worry about no one coming to run!

When a certain number of defectors accumulate, they can begin to expand to Mobei, and then include the entire grassland into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this will take a long time, even generations, but this method is the most worry-free, the most cost-effective, and the most labor-saving, and the Ming Dynasty has not directly sent troops from beginning to end, and it will not cause strong resistance in the grassland.

Because, Da Ming has always played the role of a good person.

In this way, we can have long-term peace and stability!

Life is like a play, some people play good guys, some people play bad guys, since someone always has to play bad guys, then you might as well let Wara play it.

Li Qing wants Daming to play a good guy!

As for whether Warat will grow and unify the grassland, Li Qing is not worried at all.

Just kidding, how many people are there in the Warat headquarters?

The grassland has a population of several million, and with his small number of people, it is simply not enough to see.

Taking a step back, even if Warat really grows up, then the Ming Dynasty only needs to cut off trade, and Warat, which is the enemy of the whole people in the grassland, will be crushed for thousands of miles.

So... There's no need to worry about it at all.

Expanding the territory is not so simple as talking, especially now that the Ming Dynasty is in a period of peace, not the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is not rational or cost-effective to use violent means to open up the territory.

Even if it expands hard, it will bring a lot of problems in return.

The only thing Li Qing could think of was this relatively mild method.

Although it takes a long time, it is safe.

Next, Li Qing pointed out a clear path for Boyan Timur on the future development direction of Warat.

Li Qing is using Warat, but he is not completely ignorant of it, and he does not let Warat perish, he is sincere.

Although he is for the sake of Daming, he can also make Warat profitable.

Where is Boyan Timur with Li Qing's black belly, don't say that it is him, it is those people in the court, and he is not Li Qing's opponent.

After listening to Li Qing's theory, he shouted in his heart: Niu wow Niu Wow.

As long as the development route set by the Li is followed, Navarat will be even stronger in the future.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and finally drank again.

Li Qing said with a smile: "You are out of people, Da Ming is out of money, for the stability of the grassland, do it!" โ€

"!"

Boyan Timur raised the wine bowl and drank it all, but ignored the money given by Daming, but it was not given for free, it was to be repaid.

But then again, even so, Boyan Timur did not complain in the slightest, because it was indeed the best choice to solve the internal problems and strengthen Warat.

โ€ฆ

Li Qing stayed for three days, during which Boyan Timur ate and drank well and entertained, and the two sides talked about everything, and finally settled on a detailed and feasible plan.

On the day of leaving, Boyan Timur personally sent him off and sent him three hundred miles.

~

Ten days later, Li Qing and his entourage joined the army.

Before he had time to get a good night's sleep, Shi Biao stuck to him and asked him to take out the hand he kept.

In fact, Li Qing didn't have anything to teach, so he taught Shi Biao the skills of breathing and nourishing qi.

To be precise, this is not kung fu, but health.

But Shi Biao is like a treasure, nothing else, practicing this can make him full of energy and energy.

After sending Shi Biao away, Li Qing was able to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the grassland all day long.

Thinking that the grassland will be included in the Ming Dynasty in the future, he is in a better mood.

โ€ฆ

dragged his family with his mouth, and the slow marching speed was pitiful, and it took more than two months to rush back to Beijing.

When Li Qing arrived home, it was July.

didn't have time to rest, so he changed his clothes and entered the palace, and told Zhu Qiyu about this trip to the grassland.

After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but stroke his palm and praised: "Sir's plan is very wonderful, wonderful!" This time, the Ming Dynasty will definitely incorporate the grassland into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. โ€

His heart is surging, his blood is boiling, and opening up the territory is always the emperor's first pursuit.

Any merit will be overshadowed in the face of expanding the territory.

In particular, this territory is still the vast Mobei grassland, who is not excited?

This is an achievement that Taizu and Taizong have not achieved!

Based on this alone, the promising kings in the future history books will have a place for him Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Qing with sincere and serious eyes:

"Sir, I want to reward you, and I will reward you heavily."

"No," Li Qing waved his hand, "I'm not for that." โ€

Zhu Qiyu said: "It's your business whether it's rare or not, and it's my business whether to reward it or not!" โ€

Li Qing is not the kind of person who can't get along with money, the emperor insists on rewarding, so he has to give people some face, right?

"How much gold does the emperor reward me?"

"Gold?" Zhu Qiyu said categorically, "It's too light, it's too vulgar!" โ€

I just like the vulgar ...... Li Qing was puzzled: "Then what does the emperor want to reward me?" โ€

"Yongqing Hou!"
