My Daming New Empire

"Well, for the sake of Changshengtian, I also bow my head to the Han people today."

Wu Geqi raised his right arm, stretched out a finger, waved forward, and rushed down the hill in the first place.One hundred riders rode side by side, like a long dragon, rushing down behind, really coming and going like the wind.

In front of Liu Sheng's car, there were already two thousand household chiefs from the Tatar tribe, and they were also the highest-ranking military generals of the Tatar tribe today.

In the First World War four years ago, the Ming Dynasty almost defeated the Tatars, leaving only two elderly ten thousand household heads, and now they have been replaced by these rising stars.

However, in order to control the rise of Tatar, Daming did not confer the post of head of ten thousand households of Tatar.

Four years ago, the Tatar tribe had 150 million people, could organize 5 cavalry, and had 30 household heads.But now, there are only [-] troops, and it is difficult to organize even two Wanqi.

Daming is actually satisfied with this result.If Wala is disabled again this time, allowing them to maintain a military strength similar to that of the Tatars, then the northern border of the Ming Dynasty will be stable in the future.

But thinking about the grandson's confession before leaving, Liu Sheng got a headache.

Although this piece of grassland is vast, Daming already had Liaodong, Nine Sides, and Chuzhouwei horse farms. Now it has nearly 200 million horses and 50 qualified army horses.

Therefore, neither the emperor nor their generals have any plans for the land here.

A Nuer Gandusi needs to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver in military expenses every year.One Jiaozhi costs millions of taels of military expenditure every year, and the tax is only 10 taels.

On the grassland, there are more tribes, and they are more barren. Apart from raising horses, there is almost no income. What is the use of it?

However, in order to cultivate the grandson, the emperor strongly supported his plan. I am afraid that he also wanted to make the grandson suffer a bit, so he knew that the bigger the country, the better!

"Report, Wu Geqi, the head of a thousand households in the left of the Tatar imperial court, came to welcome the commander. The army is still six miles away from the intended destination."

"Let him accompany you..."

Liu Sheng snorted, and said to himself: "I don't even sweat profusely, and it's a joke to return to the imperial court!"

After Ben Yashili was killed, the Tatars no longer had a big sweat, which also officially announced the end of Kublai Khan's family rule of the Mongolian Yuan Empire.

Meng Yuan became Bei Yuan, and the Bo'er Jin Jin family was finished. At this time, Bei Yuan had lost its threat in Liu Sheng's eyes.

But he doesn't know that after more than ten years, this family will revive again, and Bei Yuan will be the biggest threat to Ming Dynasty throughout the Ming Dynasty.

When the two armies were still three miles away, at the mouth of the branch of the Kalaotai Lake tributary, the Tatars specially prepared a garrison for the Ming army.

It is close to Kalaotai Lake, surrounded by water on both sides, and the terrain is flat and open.In addition to leveling the land, the Tatars also prepared sufficient hay for the army as horse food.

When the army gradually approached, Alutai also led three hundred tribes to greet Liu Sheng in person.

As soon as the army was settled, Liang Bokai, the eunuch accompanying the army, took the lead in setting up the incense case and read out Zhu Di's imperial edict.

In the imperial decree, Zhu Di expressed his appreciation to the Tatars for their willingness to serve as the vanguard of the war against Wala, and appointed Alutai as the deputy governor of the Eastern Route Army, and led the army to follow Liu Sheng's command.

Of course, since the Tatars are to be used as the vanguard, it is natural to give them some benefits.

The army brought two hundred stones of sea salt and one thousand iron pots, and immediately rewarded the Tatars, and allowed the Tatars to send a caravan of no more than 5000 people to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, two thousand sabers and one thousand spears will be rewarded to the Tatars, but these will only be rewarded to them after the army is assembled.

This also means that the Tatars have to make a little contribution first.

Alutai felt bitter in his heart. The short bow he wanted the most was not included in the rewards this time, and this is the weapon that the Tatars lack the most.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not scatter eagles when they did not see rabbits. It would be difficult for them to work without exerting themselves.

The big tent was raised, Liu Sheng ignored Alutai and sat beside him, and began to count troops and generals.This is also a way to declare force to the Tatars, so the faces of Alutai and his gang present here are a bit ugly.

In terms of personal force, they think they are stronger than the Han people, but there are too many Han people!

Until the evening, when the tents of the whole army were set up, Liu Sheng deliberately pretended to free up time and hosted a banquet for Alutai and his party.

Alutai paid the most attention to the Emperor Ming's attitude towards Tatars. Liu Sheng followed the strategy discussed in advance and praised the friendly relationship between Tatars and Ming Dynasty.And he regards Ming Dynasty's dispatch of troops this time as Ming Dynasty's most powerful support for Tatars.

At the same time, he also emphasized the cooperation and development between Ming and Tatar, and he is willing to expand commercial trade on the existing basis.

Although Bei Yuan was powerful in force, he was poor.

Except for fur and cattle and sheep trade, they have almost no production development capacity.Now even blacksmiths and gunpowder manufacturers have no successors.

The herdsmen at the bottom do not have kitchen knives or iron pots, and they need to share iron knives even for slaughtering cattle and sheep. Without iron pots, they can only cook rice and stew meat in clay pots.

In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty implemented an economic blockade, cut off trade, and there was no tea and no salt. As a result, at least 10 people died in Beiyuan.

But now they are completely unable to go to Daming to rob.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive, the Wala people wouldn't be eager to fight against Daming as soon as they regained a little vitality.

Just to be able to trade with Daming, Alutai had no choice but to agree to Liu Sheng's conditions, sending 1 cavalry and [-] horses to participate in this war.

This is not only to help Daming, but also to find a way of life for the current 30 Tatars.

Chapter 47 Encounters

On April 25th, Zhu Di, who was in the camp of the Chinese Army, received the news sent by Liu Sheng. When he knew that Alutai had agreed to Daming's conditions without any compromise, he was extremely excited.

The weather is getting warmer, and his old illness has improved a lot. Recently, he stopped riding a car, but rode on horseback again.

After passing the information from Liu Sheng to Zhu Zhanji, he couldn't help but think about Zhu Zhanji again. "How did Jier judge that Alutai would agree to our conditions? Will they really not rebel on the battlefield?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "We are guarding against him, and he is also guarding against us. Neither of us will give the other a chance to rebel. With preparations, Grandpa Huang feels that his 1 people can How much effect will it play? Moreover, force is never the best means of conquest, all-round economic and cultural control is the real conquest. When the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty take pride in speaking Chinese and wearing Hanfu, when their basic necessities They all depend on Daming for supply, at that time, even if they are asked to rebel, they will not rebel."

"But this will only speed up their recovery time! The policy of softness has been used a lot in the past."

"Grandfather, the Confucian policy of softness can only be aimed at people with moral conscience, not against the wolves of Beiyuan people. The control I am talking about is not softness, but the use of means other than war to change the situation. Good control of them."

"So you asked Jin Yiwei to investigate the trade between the Nine Frontier Guards and the Beiyuan people? When the water is clear, there will be no fish!"

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I won't do anything about it for the time being. I just want to better understand what supplies the Beiyuan people need most. They need iron, so we will We must control the ironware. They need craftsmen, and we cannot give them a single craftsman. Even if they can't beat us, they can only bow to us, which is the first step in controlling them."

Zhu Di also laughed, and said with relief: "Ji'er has such insight, and I have lived up to my expectations of you."

Zhu Zhanji was actually rejoicing in his heart that he traveled through the era when the power of the Ming Dynasty was the strongest, and it was also the era when the power of the grassland was the weakest.

The grassland was not so weak more than ten years ago. Although Zhu Yuanzhang drove Meng Yuan to Lingbei and occupied most of Monan, Bei Yuan's military strength was still there.

In the past ten years, Beiyuan has changed several emperors, and the several ethnic groups have been fighting each other.

Zhu Di kept swinging from side to side between them, and when anyone was about to be defeated, Da Ming immediately sent weapons so that they could continue to fight.

It was because of this weakening that he was able to cleanly drive Benya Shili to the North Sea four years ago. In the end, there were only seven people left who followed Benya Shili and were killed by the Oirats.

And Arutai, which had been clamoring wildly to recapture Beiping, can only bow to Zhu Di now.

It can be said that in the original history, Bei Yuan at the end of Zhu Di's period had almost lost any ability to resist.
