My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 203 Give more mutual market

Pointing to the place of Daningwei on the map, Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked Huang Kezhan.

"I remember that there was a hero in Chahar named Huduntuhan (Lin Dan Khan). Over the years, he conquered the east and the west with the intention of unifying all the Mongolian tribes, and he repeatedly violated the border?"

"That's what happened."

Hearing this, Huang Kezhan nodded.

"He is also called Lin Dan Khan and is the Great Khan of Chahar today."

"After he succeeded to the throne, he merged with the Duoyan Three Guards in the east and attacked the Inner Khalkha tribes in the north, gradually gaining prestige."

"From the 40th year of Wanli to the 43rd year of Wanli, Lin Dan Khan and the traitors of Neikalkha led their troops to raid hundreds of miles of the border from Guangning to Jinzhou several times and plundered the population."

"In the forty-fifth year of Wanli, the captives were returned to show respect. The late emperor granted Guangning and Lin Danhan mutual trade, and Tieling and Chaohua tribes to trade with each other."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, indicating that he had some understanding of the Mongolian tribes.

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao changed his subject and asked with an abrupt smile.

"Huang Shangshu, have you ever fought with crickets?"

"I have had a strict upbringing since I was a child. I have never been so strict."

Looking at the emperor's smiling face, Huang Kezhan was stunned, but after thinking about his childhood, he shook his head and said.

I haven't done it before, it's just a toy to lose one's ambition.

However, it seems that many emperors of the Ming Dynasty lost their minds by playing with things.

The cricket emperor Xuanzong, the tiger and leopard emperor Zhengde, the Taojun emperor Jiajing, and the carpenter emperor Tianqi.

If you really want to give nicknames, there are fat Renzong, lame Wanli, Oedipus Chenghua, bronchitis Hongzhi, hands-off shopkeeper Long Qing, and the whole moon emperor Taichang.

"When I was young, Wei Zhongxian once gave me two crickets."

Putting away the map on the table, Zhu Youxiao picked up a pen, pulled out a piece of tribute paper from his side, and put two black dots on it.

"This cricket, on weekdays, if you want it to grow strong and beautiful, you have to feed it more."

"But when you want to fight him one day, you have to starve him the day before, put two crickets together, and then tease them with fresh leaves."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao wrote the word "mutual market" on the paper in front of him and asked Huang Kezhan.

"Ai Qing, don't you think this principle of fighting crickets can be applied to the Mongols?"

"..."

Looking at the two words written by the emperor, Huang Kezhan opened his eyes wide.

"What does your Majesty want?"

"Let the Mongols fight on their own."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao folded the piece of paper and handed it to Huang Kezhan.

"Send envoys to Horqin and tell them that as long as they can contain the Inner Khalkha tribes from the side, I will agree to trade with them in Tieling."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Kezhan and said.

"Ask the envoys to ask more about what they want and what they have when they go there."

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind to use Horqin to contain Inner Khalkha, Huang Kezhan immediately took the note from the emperor and whispered.

"I will first arrange for the people below to test it out."

"This matter must be kept secret first, don't let it spread."

"I understand."

Hearing this, Huang Kezhan nodded immediately.

Ming Dynasty is a good-looking country.

The agreement to trade with Chahar and Nekarka was only given to the other party after the two sides had a fight and the other party showed respect.

This kind of unsolicited giving has never happened before.

"The Ministry of War must find a way..."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youxiao looked at what Huang Kezhan was about to say, but then he retracted his words.

"Forget it, I'll let Jin Yiwei do this."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Kezhan said that he wanted to hand it over to Jin Yiwei, and immediately asked anxiously.

The emperor wants to use a spy organization, so we still need to find out about this.

"Agree to mutual trade, and then secretly send agents to rob, kill, poison, burn wasteland, spread rumors, and make Horqin fight with the tribes of Inner Khalkha, and even the tribes of Chahar are involved. Can the Ministry of War do it? "

"this..."

Hearing this, Huang Kezhan blinked.

This is a bit embarrassing.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty can only do this kind of detailed dispatching work by Jin Yiwei.

Thinking about it, Huang Kezhan shook his head and said.

"It can't be done."

"Then go ahead."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao didn't say much and signaled Huang Kezhan to leave.

After he walked away, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but turn out the map again, recalling the illustrious martial arts of the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding the Mongolian tribes, or the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty.

Ming's attitude changed over time.

We all know the story of Zhu Yuanzhang expelling the Tatars and restoring China.

In the first year of Hongwu, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others made an expedition to the north, regained the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and drove the Yuan Dynasty northward.

In the third year of Hongwu's reign, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, and Tang He formed the Tiantuan Group. The first Northern Expedition saw no organized army in the Northern Yuan Dynasty after the First World War.

At this time, Ming Dynasty's policy towards Bei Yuan was to open up and cooperate with others.

But then, there was a crushing defeat.

In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Li Wenzhong launched a three-pronged attack, intending to join forces at Helin.

Then, Xu Da's main center route army was defeated, Li Wenzhong's east route army had equal gains and losses, and only Feng Sheng's west route army won.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his strategy against Mongolia, focusing on defense, and then carried out a small-scale war of attrition by cutting the flesh with a blunt knife.

Until the 21st year of Hongwu, with Lan Yu as the general and Guo Ying and Tang Shengzong as his deputy, the army set off for the Northern Expedition.

After attacking for thousands of miles, the Ming army encircled and annihilated the Northern Yuan Dynasty court at Yuyuerhai. This battle completely destroyed the Mongol royal court. The Mongolian tribes were immediately dispersed, and each tribe's family could live their lives.

After that, there were two more Northern Expeditions, and the leader was a hot blue man - Zhu Di.

After the success of Zhu Dijing's revolt, Ming Dynasty needed a period of internal repair, or to adapt to the new emperor, so it chose to postpone the attack on the north.

Then, the Mongols went crazy. In the seventh year of Yongle, Benya accidentally killed the Ming envoy.

Zhu Di took a look and said, oh, such an arrogant person is not allowed to exist in front of me.

By killing the envoy, you are hoping to get an immortal life.

Therefore, Zhu Di took the famous Jingnan general Qi Guogong Qiu Fu as his commander, wore the seal of the general who conquered the captives, and asked him to lead the northern expedition with the Marquis of Wucheng Wang Cong, the Marquis of Tong'an Huozhen, the Marquis of Jing'an Wang Zhong, and the Marquis of Anping Li Yuan.

Then, Qiu Fu rushed in greedily and took the officer corps to send him off.

In one battle, a duke and four princes were killed, and the entire officer corps was wiped out.

When Zhu Di received the news of his defeat, he almost died of anger. Together with the five of them, they were defeated and expelled, and their titles were taken away. The whole family was sent to Qiongzhou to fish.

It doesn't matter if you die, you can't drag the officer corps along with you to send him off.

This achievement was really eye-catching in the eyes of Zhu Di, who had been following Xu Dachui in Mongolia for the first half of his life.

Then, Zhu Di immediately became angry and personally led his army in the Northern Expedition, followed by moving the capital.

If the general can't do it, I'll do it myself.

This marked the beginning of Zhu Di's five expeditions into the desert.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Mongolia became a matter of whoever is crazy about who on the grassland.

In the early years of Xuanzong and Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty's army was still powerful and could hit Mongolia with heavy blows one after another.

Then, Zhu Qizhen took charge and established the emperor. Needless to say what happened next.

Starting from the Tianshun period, Mongolia became bigger again and Ming Dynasty fell on the defensive.

Although Xianzong had the idea of ​​​​Qian Tingya, Wang Fu, the first civil servant to be knighted, was also capable enough. But Wang Fu and Wang Zhi have a close relationship. After Wang Zhi's misfortune, Wang Fu also followed suit and fucked him to the end.

By the time of Emperor Xiaozong, the king was resurrected and repeatedly conquered the west of Yumen Pass.

But after Wang Fu died, no one in the court could take command anymore, so Hongzhi abandoned his land.

However, during this period, the Mongolian tribes also started to fight against each other. After several rounds of death matches, Boljijin Batu Mengke stood up and was named Dayan Khan.

Then, Ming Wuzong Zhengde said, tell me loudly, what is your name?

Yingzhou's great victory and battlefield gains are unknown to this day.

But what we know is that Dayan Khan died during the great victory in Yingzhou.

The actual records of Wuzong record: "In the later years, they invaded the border, but they did not dare to enter in large numbers.", "In this year, Ryukyu, Tianfang, and Oara paid tribute."

Posthumous title: Strong and straight-forward is called Wu, powerful and powerful is called Wu, conquering disasters and chaos is called Wu, punishing the people and overcoming them is called Wu, and boasting of many ambitions is called Wu.

History has clearly given his evaluation of Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhengde Qian defeated Dayan Khan, it provided precious time for Jiajing to take control of the court.

During the Jiajing period, although the imperial court's policy towards Mongolia had always been abiding by, there were still blood debts committed under the capital.

But with a group of people, Xiao He showed his sharp points.

Yu Daqiu, Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Tan Lun, Yang Wen, Zhang Jing and other famous generals and coaches appeared one after another.

When Jiajing went to see the gods in person, Longqing and Wanli came to power.

Zhang Juzheng rectified the imperial court and dealt with the barbarians from all directions.

Daming only sent two words, "Pan him!"

Myanmar, Annan, Mongolia, Jurchen, Southwest Chieftain.

One by one, Daming gave them a meal.

Zhu Youxiao sighed secretly as his fingers crossed the map of eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the generals are withered and the heroes are no longer there.

It takes some time to calm down.

Just when the emperor was dejected, Huang Kezhan returned to the Ministry of War with the emperor's reply and began to formulate policies in accordance with the emperor's instructions.

First of all, we must understand the situation of the Mongolian tribes.

Mongolia = Mongolia headquarters (tribes on the grassland) + Oirat Mongolia (people in the forest).

In addition, there is the Buryat tribe (also called Barhu Mongolia), which are forest people under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian headquarters.

Mongolian headquarters = Mongolian left wing (three divisions) + Mongolian right wing (three divisions) + Horqin tribe (Eastern Mongolia, equivalent to an independent branch).

Oirat Mongolia = Junggar + Heshuote + Durbot + Turgut, this distance is still far away.

Mongolian left wing = Chahar (now Ulanqab) + Uliangha (outside of Guangning) + Khalkha.

Mongolian right wing = Tumut (now Hohhot) + Karaqin (Chifeng) + Ordos.

So where is Horqin today?

The location of Horqin can be said to be a blessed place, rich in gray mice.

This place is called Tongliao!

Today, the imperial court's policy in Liaodong is to conquer the east and defend the west.

In the east, Liaoshen was used as the base to conquer Jiannu.

In the west, Guangning is the base point to guard against the Mongolian tribes of Chahar.

Looking at the division of the Mongolian tribes on the map, Huang Kezhan couldn't help but frowned.

Does the emperor's strategy really work?

Are you sure you won't create trouble for bandits?

Just when Huang Kezhan was thinking about the emperor's next step to increase the mutual market policy.

In the Shuntian government office, Zhou Yingqiu asked suspiciously as he looked at the various township officials who had been assigned.

"Are you sure that just by relying on these township chiefs and police officers, you can take over the food distribution business from those gentry?"

Grain tax collection is the Ming Dynasty's current summer grain and autumn tax. Because of the shortage of court officials, most of the grain officials who went to the countryside to collect taxes were collected by the gentry.

This is a top priority that involves officials' black hats and money bags.

Only when officials are well fed and have excellent exam results can they hope to be promoted.

If your pockets are empty and you can't get anything here, you will naturally end up with a low grade in the exam, and your future will be gloomy.

If you don’t take it, how can I take it?

If I don’t take it, how can Commissioner Geng take it?

If Commissioner Geng doesn’t take it, how can we make progress?

Those big families and gentry with good reputations took over the grain distribution, and they would not hand over their own fields if they could.

With people who have contact with you, pay as little as possible.

After all, only interests can bring these people together.

As for those missing acres.

One is various affiliations, which are free of fame and fortune.

The other one is apportionment.

Anyway, those idiots don't know how much tax the court collects, and they have no place to sue even if they want to sue.

The end result is that the common people rebel and gather in the mountains and forests to protect themselves.

The county patrol officers and the gentry's family members came out together, and the two sides started fighting one after another.

As a result, the people will naturally suffer.

After all, how could the common people defeat the gentry and the court if they really took out their knives?

Even if a few lives are lost, the tax will eventually have to be paid.

And if what is collected and calculated in the booklet is still not enough, then the apportionment will continue.

This is called the government forcing the people to rebel.

They had all worked in the local area. Zhou Yingqiu and Yuan Shizhen knew how deep the oil and water was in the food delivery matter.

That's really true, Jin Gentry's money will be returned in full.

People's money is divided into 30 and 70 accounts.

Seventy percent of it belongs to others!

When food grows from the fields, it no longer belongs to the farmer.

The grain gentry divided their hands.

The office clerks in the county's household offices split their hands.

Of course, the most important thing is to prepare a copy for the local county magistrate and local magistrate.

After such layer upon layer of exploitation, no one knows how much a penny from national funds has suffered in the countryside.

"That's why the emperor set up rural police to patrol the countryside and ensure peace."

Hearing Zhou Yingqiu's suspicion, Yuan Shizhen said with a smile.

"I proved something in Lianghuai."

"what's up?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yingqiu asked curiously.

"If the salt household loses its owner, it will live better. But if the nest owner loses the salt household, it will die."

Pointing in the direction of the horizon, Yuan Shizhen said calmly.

"Tell me, what would happen if those gentry had no common people?"

"How could they be willing to give up the power that the imperial court had given them before?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yingqiu shook his head and was not optimistic about the good news.

"And this also involves all the dirty things in the county."

"So, I plan to go to Huang Shangshu next to see if I can get some weapons for Dong Yingju."

Seeing Dong Yingju explaining to these rural officials the precautions for going to the countryside, Yuan Shizhen turned around and walked outside.

"As for those dirty things, it's your problem as the Minister of Civil Affairs."

ps: Wu Liangha, also known as the Three Guards of Duoyan, disappeared after the Ming Dynasty, and the three tribes of Chahar, Tumut, and Kalaqin were merged.
