Chapter 344: Changes in the Mongolian Situation
The Mongolian grassland is lush and lush at this time. It is just like the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep everywhere. The sheep are bleating and bleating happily eating the grass, cows and chewing calmly in the grass, and horses swaying with their tails.
The sunny grassland has a beautiful scenery. Yurts are located on the grasslands, on the grasslands of the Ming-Terminal District, and the herdsmen are quietly and peacefully herding cattle and sheep. There is no hustle and bustle here, because each herder has 5,000 acres of pasture, which is relatively far apart from each other.
Although it seems a bit boring, it is carefree in this summer season, like a paradise. Because they don’t come into contact with anyone, these herdsmen gradually become more hospitalized. After adapting to the new environment, they gather together to race horses on some festivals every year, so that young people can talk about love and other things.
These herdsmen are taking care of a large herd of cattle and sheep on weekdays, and they don’t have to worry about not being able to eat enough. Moreover, after a year of busyness, the wool and leather can be sold for money, which is enough for them to buy daily necessities such as tea, iron pots, porcelain, cotton cloth and sugar.
The lives of these herdsmen are getting better and better every year. Now they will obviously not be willing to let them return to the life of living by pursuing water and grass.
Who would have a better life, but I went to the same life as before. I was a life where I ran around all day and had no property, but I never felt so comfortable in the day. What's more, with the protection of the Ming Dynasty, I don't have to worry about encountering wars between tribes in the Ming dynasty.
The Mongolian nobles in the Ming Dynasty were not willing to return to the past model at this time. Now this model is really cool. They actually don’t have to take care of the affairs. They can reap the dividends of ruling every year and spend money in the pass. Many Mongolian nobles simply went to the pass to settle down.
Of course, most of these Mongolian nobles have no education, and they obviously haven't realized that such a good thing in the world cannot last for a long time.
If you receive great fortune without merit, this is a great danger in the world.
In another ten or twenty years, it won’t take that long. The Ming Dynasty would not need these Mongolian nobles anymore. Then kick these Mongolian nobles away, what can they do?
By then, these Mongolian nobles would have no support from Mongolian herders and no power in their hands. It was only a matter of a government order to kick them away.
For those Mongolian herders, once they break away from the rule of these Mongolian nobles, whoever can give them a good life will naturally support whoever they support.
However, for the time being, this model can still be maintained. At this time, the order of the Mongolians in the Ming dynasty area was already managed in an orderly manner. Mongolian herdsmen all lived and worked in peace. When encountering disasters or something, the court would also lend a helping hand, presenting a scene of great governance.
In contrast, Mongolia and Mo Nan and Mo fought on the grassland since the beginning of summer. After some mobilization, they killed each other on the grassland to death.
Lin Danhan was full of confidence. After several years of rest, his prestige finally recovered a little, and his control over Monan was restored again. The Ming Dynasty also sold some weapons and equipment for them again. It should not be difficult to attack Mobei Mongolia now.
Seeing that Lin Danhan had suspended the attack, Mongolians in the northern desert sent people to negotiate with them and agreed to the negotiations.
Both sides knew that if they fought like this, they would eventually be picked up by the Ming Dynasty. It would be a result of not being worth the loss for both sides.
Since both sides have such a consensus after a fight, then sit down and talk!
"Listen to me, the barbarians in the south are now strong in their military power, especially their artillery. We, Mongolia, cannot resist it. And just got the news that Junggar had surrendered to the barbarians. Ben Khan attacked Mobei not for anything else, but just wanted to unite Mongolia and fight against the barbarians of Ming Kingdom. Do you Mobei also want to be conquered by Ming Kingdom?" Lin Danhan personally attended the scene and asked the Mongolian nobles in Mobei who were working.
"Of course we don't want to, but we don't want to surrender to the south of the Mobei." The Mongolian nobles in Mobei immediately started shouting, and Lin Danhan immediately said: "Ben Khan does not have to conquer Mobei. We are both descendants of Genghis Khan and are now facing strong enemies. Why not unite to protect ourselves?"
"joint?"
"Yes, join forces to protect our interests." Lin Danhan said: "Ming Kingdom has now established a Mongolian autonomous region, but what that model means to us is probably a smart person. Once we lose the herdsmen below, can we still enjoy the current benefits in the future?"
The living standards of Mongolian herders on the grasslands in the Ming Dynasty have indeed been greatly improved, but the interests of these Mongolian nobles are sacrificed.
Over time, the Ming Dynasty may not take them, the Mongolian nobles seriously. At that time, kick them away, who will they cry?
Actually, no one can see this problem, but the Mongolian nobles in the Ming Dynasty were mostly small nobles. This problem was not the level they considered, so they naturally just passed it.
But for these top Mongolian nobles, the current system is the most suitable for them. They traded with the Ming Dynasty. They could still enjoy the things of the Ming Dynasty, and they could also truly rule a group of Mongolian herders, with the power of life and death. How could such a day be compared to surrendering to the Ming Dynasty?
As for the interests of the Mongolian herdsmen below, they are inconsistent and unified with them. Once the interests of the Mongolian herdsmen are gaining too much, their interests will inevitably be damaged. In this case, these top Mongolian aristocrats naturally do not want to live in the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.
The rise of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Mongolian autonomous region system introduced by the Ming Dynasty, has threatened the interests of these Mongolian senior leaders. Under such external threats, a group of Mongolian nobles in Mongolian in northern Mongolia were soon convinced by Lin Danhan.
Soon both sides killed cattle and sheep, and held an alliance ceremony.
Mongolia in the north of the Mohe and Mongolia officially formed an alliance, and Mongolia in the north of the Mohe also accepted Lin Dankhan, the Mongolian Khan, and elected Lin Dankhan as the leader.
Of course, this leader is just a good reputation. In fact, Lin Danhan cannot enjoy the interests of the Mongolian tribes in northern Demon, and the distribution of the ruling interests of both sides is still independent.
After the alliance, the two sides agreed to an offensive and defensive alliance, and unified their attitude in trade with the Ming Dynasty. The trade naturally continued, otherwise there would be less things that the nobles could enjoy. However, in the war horse trade, the north and south of the desert reached a consensus on restricting exports.
Although the Ming Dynasty obtained the origin of war horses, the restrictions still need to be restricted, so as to prevent the Ming Dynasty's military strength from expanding too quickly and attacking them. However, as long as the Ming Dynasty was willing to exchange armor and weapons, the war horses were still willing to sell them in large quantities to the Ming Dynasty.
After reaching these consensuses, Lin Danhan withdrew his troops.
After a war, although he did not conquer Mobei as he wished and lost some troops, he did not fail to do anything at least. After retiring to the next level, he formed an alliance with Mobei Mongolia, which made Lin Danhan feel more self-protection strength.
The war between Mongolian and Mongolian in northern and southern deserts was also a surrounding situation that the Ming Dynasty was highly concerned about. When Zhu Youxiao received the information sent back by the Jinyiwei, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Although the two sides fought hard, they were so rational that they didn't kill the red eye. In the end, they even formed a terrible alliance. What the hell is this?
This change caused another change in the Ming Dynasty's strategy to Mongolia.
Zhu Youxiao immediately held a meeting of the imperial front to discuss a new strategy against Mongolia.
"My dear friends, according to the information of the Jinyiwei, Mobei and Monan have formed an alliance. It is obviously impossible for us, the Ming Dynasty, to continue to watch the show. I want to completely resolve the Mongolian threat and fully incorporate Mongolia into the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty. Do you think how should we achieve it?" Zhu You proofread the ministers and asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Mongolian troops can mobilize more than 400,000 troops in this alliance. If these Mongolians suddenly launch an attack on our Ming Dynasty and our Ming Dynasty is not prepared enough, the consequences will be unimaginable. I think we should strengthen the military strength in the northern border." Sun Chuanting suggested, "When the court takes his hands out of the Western Regions, we will deal with Mongolia."
"I think that the court has been carrying out internal reforms in recent years and its financial resources are not so sufficient. If Your Majesty conquered Mongolia at this time, it is very likely to lead to internal and external turmoil. It is better to wait until the northern provinces complete the reforms and have sufficient finances before exploring Mongolia." Shen Qing pondered for a moment and suggested to Zhu Youxiao that Shen Qing was worried about whether the emperor was blinded by the successive victory.
You should know that now is a critical period of reform, and the second and third kings of Fu may jump out of the internal forces at any time. If the military force is drawn to fight Mongolia at this time, the war will inevitably damage national strength and will also lead to the emptiness of internal forces. Once something goes wrong, it is very likely that one step will be wrong and one step will be wrong.
"What I said is reasonable, and I am not in a hurry to clean up Mongolia soon. I just made plans in advance and formulated a next strategy against Mongolia." Zhu Youxiao said to Shen Qing with a smile, dispelling Shen Qing's concerns. As a time traveler, how could he not know the huge crisis in the late Ming Dynasty?
Since the situation has been opened, we naturally have to make steady progress, and there is no need to make too aggressive progress.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, as long as the Ming Dynasty further develops its productivity and further improves its national strength, Mongolia will inevitably become a so-called existence and will be forever excluded from the stage of fighting for hegemony in the world. By then, Mongolia will only become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao only regarded Mongolia as a piece of cake, a place of origin for the grassland economic raw materials that could produce a large amount of wool in the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is wise." Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good that the emperor could listen. Otherwise, his mind would be hot and his rhythm would be messed up, and he would be a trick to death.
"Your Majesty, now the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have opened up trade. As long as the military strength is strengthened, Mongolia will not dare to take the initiative to invade our Ming Dynasty. Mongolia is the only force that can threaten the Ming Dynasty's borders at this time. Before the reform is completed in the north, the Ming Dynasty should take active prevention and trade as the main focus. It is not necessary for the Ming Dynasty to use force in the future, and Mongolia will inevitably become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty." Sun Chuanting proposed a new strategic idea.
With the current pace of active reforms in the Ming Dynasty and the emerging technological inventions, as long as the northern provinces complete the reforms, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty can rise sharply in less than a few years.
