Chapter 423: Divide and disintegrate the various ministries of the Northern Yuan Dynasty

You know, during Zhu Yuanzhang's several Northern Expeditions, he never thought of using the internal conflicts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to attack the opponent.

If it was true as Lin Che said, it would indeed be much easier.

Now I have Lin Che's guidance.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind suddenly became much more active.

He eagerly asked Liu Sanwu: "Liu Aiqing, do you think that if we implement Lin Che's plan, the Oara and Tatars in Beiyuan will be fooled?"

"Your Majesty, I thought they would jump into it even if they knew it was a trap."

After hearing this, Liu Sanwu gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Although he is not proficient in martial arts, he has been in the imperial court and followed His Majesty for so many years, and he understands human nature very well.

In Liu Sanwu's view, the Tatar Haowara in the Northern Yuan Dynasty was blackmailed into some war horses by the Ming Dynasty. For the two tribes, it was actually nothing.

After all, there are countless horses on the grassland, and giving some away is just a drop in the bucket.

The most unacceptable thing for Oara and Tatar is probably that the number of horses presented to the Ming Dynasty is less than that of the other side.

So it was up to Da Ming to take one of the players and play a mixed doubles match against them.

The resulting losses and humiliation.

It's much better to hand over a large number of war horses than to be frightened by Ming Dynasty.

After all, today's Ming army can still sweep across Mobei.

If Daming is about to hit someone.

The selected target had to flee thousands of miles away to avoid the Ming Dynasty's army.

The only way left to kneel down and beg for mercy is to avoid the fate of genocide.

"Hahaha, with Lin Che's plan, the disaster on the grassland will be insignificant."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Sanwu's analysis, he couldn't help laughing loudly.

Just when he was about to praise Lin Che a few words.

Lin Che, who was next door, spoke again: "By the way, if the court doesn't pay, strategic blackmail will have no effect on Bei Yuan."

"However, if the imperial court purchases Beiyuan war horses according to the market price, Ming Dynasty will be able to continuously obtain war horses."

"And when the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty get rich, they may also spend money to smuggle iron from the Ming Dynasty, and the court can send special merchants to earn back the money."

Zhu Gui had great admiration for Lin Che's strategic blackmail tactics.

But I heard my husband say again that he wanted Daming to pay for the blackmailed horse, and he also wanted to use iron tools to earn the money back.

This made him very puzzled and asked: "Sir, the reason our Ming Dynasty can defeat Bei Yuan is because there is a lack of iron ore on the grassland."

"So their armors and weapons are not as sharp as our Ming army's."

"And if we provide them with iron tools, there is no guarantee that the iron will not turn into arrows and shoot at the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

As cold weapons have developed for thousands of years.

Various weapons and armors have evolved to the most reasonable and lethal state.

So much so that even the barbarians outside the Great Wall were proficient in making various weapons.

Just because of the lack of iron on the grasslands, the proportion of Beiyuan soldiers wearing armor has always been very low.

Facing the heavily armed soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to take advantage in a head-on confrontation.

But if they can obtain unlimited amounts of iron, the ambitions of those remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will inevitably expand to the extreme in an instant, and they will have the ambition to invade the Central Plains again.

Zhu Bai couldn't understand.

Why would Lin Che bring up such a thing that would endanger the Han family, the country, and the country?

"You are too honest, kid."

"We buy horses from Beiyuan at the market price of Ming Dynasty."

"Does the ironware sold to them also follow the Ming Dynasty's market price?"

Lin Che was amused by Zhu Bai's worry.

He tapped the table with his index finger, "Sold to Bei Yuan for blacksmithing, not only must it be crudely made, but Ga Ge can make it as high as possible."

"Anyway, the amount of iron sold is such that each warrior of their tribe can only equip one scimitar and have a few iron arrows."

"It is far from enough to use their equipment to defeat the Ming Dynasty, but they will have the upper hand against their fellow clansmen."

In Lin Che's opinion, the most profitable thing was selling arms. Even if it is sold to the enemy.

After all, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland are not the only enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

The civil wars between the Tatars and Oaras were much more frequent than the Ming Dynasty's expeditions to Mobei.

As long as Ming Dynasty can control the amount of ironware exported.

The armed Tatars and Oaras were both defeated by the Ming Dynasty.

After they gain some strength, they will definitely not think about revenge immediately.

Instead, they sent troops to conquer other tribes on the grassland.

After integrating its powerful force, he then showed his fangs to Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that for thousands of years, this process will be followed before the grasslands invade the Central Plains.

In this way, Ming can take advantage of this.

Take turns to strengthen the strength of Oara and Tatar, and let them have the idea of ​​​​conquering each other.

This will consume their combat effectiveness.

"Can the troubles of the grassland be eliminated like this?"

Zhu Bai heard that Lin Che planned to use a small amount of iron tools to trigger an internal fight among the remaining members of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

She couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed of her suspicion towards Lin Che just now.

But he still asked worriedly: "Sir, what if it's the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who get the iron tools?"

"What if instead of forging weapons, you stand up and forge armor?"

The threat of armor is countless times greater than that of swords.

If there is a tribe that sells iron and makes it into armor to conquer other tribes.

I am afraid that very few tribes can withstand the charge of the armored cavalry.

If they were allowed to use these armors to roll snowballs on the grassland.

The Ming Dynasty's frontier facing the grassland will probably never have peace.

"First of all, iron armor is not that easy to make."

Lin Che couldn't help but yawned again when she heard Zhu Bai's worried words.

He couldn't help but speak faster: "Moreover, even if they turn all the iron they bought into armor."

"But there is still a long way to go before it threatens my Ming Dynasty."

"As long as I hear about any grassland tribe starting to build iron armor, my Ming Dynasty will send troops to exterminate them."

Such a simple and crude answer immediately stunned Zhu Bai on the spot.

He had just been worried that smuggling iron into the grassland would cause great disaster to the Ming Dynasty.

But he didn't expect that Ming Dynasty was now in a dominant position.

Whether it is strategic blackmail to purchase war horses, or selling iron weapons to lead the grassland tribes to fight within themselves.

They are just means to achieve strategic balance.

If the situation really gets out of control, Daming has one last trick to use.

That is to directly overturn the chessboard.

"If there's no problem, that's it for today's class."

Zhu Bai showed a look of surprise.

Lin Che stretched out and directly turned on the lying corpse mode.

Zhu Bai wanted to ask what today's homework was.

However, I heard that Lin Che had issued an order to expel guests.

He could only wake up Zhu Gui, who was still thinking about how many things in the world could be replaced by machines.

He left the Confucius Temple residence with him.
