Domineering Daming

Nikru didn't say much, Khalkha is strong on the outside, if the Ming Dynasty first destroys the Jin Kingdom they fear, and then destroys Chahar, how can they not be afraid?

They themselves were unable to resist the Ming Dynasty, and the tribes were unable to unite as one. Under the crisis, it is not difficult to imagine that it would be difficult for them to show favor to the Ming Dynasty.

Nicklu glanced at Lin Dan Khan's body, which was tightly wrapped like a rice dumpling, and said, "Turn around and go to the Chechen Khanate."

Several thousand households are Lin Dan Khan's confidantes, and they still respect Niklu, and now they have no choice but to agree and turn to the Chechen Khanate.

They were no longer seen by Man Gui and the others, and they were allowed to leave, waiting for orders from Sun Chengzong and Zhu Xu.

Sending messages with semaphore on the Great Wall is extremely fast. Almost on the night when Mangui received the letter written by Gonbu Khan, Sun Chengzong was urgently woken up.

"Leave immediately...to Kulun City!"

Sun Chengzong dressed in a hurry, and said loudly at the same time: "Notify the capital again, and ask the emperor to show you."

Sun Chengzong was very anxious and ran out wearing only one shoe.

If Moxi, Mobei Mongolia can "surrender" together, even if the Ming Dynasty pays some price, he can bear it.If these two places "surrender", it means that the Nine Towns of Daming have no border problems for the time being!

This is too important to Da Ming now and in the future, he dare not delay even for a moment, for fear that there will be more changes in the night and more dreams!

Chapter 1045 The general trend has been set

Sun Chengzong hurried to Gansu Town, Zhu Xu also received the news not long after.

At this time, he was discussing today's Xia Liang with Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting.

Cao Huachun hurried in from the outside, without caring about other things, he directly handed a secret letter to Zhu Xu with a solemn and joyful expression.

At such times, Cao Huachun seldom interrupted. Zhu Xu glanced at him and opened the secret letter.

After taking a look, Zhu Xu slammed the table and stood up, laughing loudly: "Good! Good! Good! Hahaha, good!"

Zhu Xu said a few good words in a row, laughed all over his face, walked up and down the table, very excited.

He knew that in history, the whole of Mongolia surrendered to Hou Jin around this time period, but he did not expect that things would develop like this. He leveled Monan, and Mobei and Moxi would be deterred and surrender to Daming!

This incident, even for him, is like being in a dream, unbelievable, and it will take a long time to calm down.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu, who was so excited and unable to restrain his emotions. They looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun looked slightly happy, looked at the two elders, and smiled without saying a word.

Zhu Xu really couldn't help it, she didn't expect it at all!

Mongolia's surrender, no matter whether it is true or false, is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty - the Ming Dynasty included Mongolia in its territory, even in name!

In this way, Mongolia is a part of Daming in terms of territory and righteousness, regardless of whether it is true or not, and Daming will have enough excuses to really include it in the territory in the future!

Of course, right now, Daming has completely solved the border troubles. Whether it is Monan, Mobei, Moxi, the important towns on the nine borders of Daming will all be peaceful within the foreseeable time!

Zhu Xu looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, his body trembling slightly.

His chest was still heaving, his eyes were squinted, and countless thoughts were turning in his mind, but he forcibly suppressed them all, and said calmly, "You two elders, please take a look."

Cao Huachun stepped forward and handed the note to Bi Ziyan.

Bi Ziyan had been very curious for a long time, took a look at it, opened his eyes immediately, his expression was brightened, then he stood up, and said anxiously to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, the border troubles can be solved now, the Nine Sides and Big Songs are good for the country and the people. It will be an extremely important matter, please call all the officials immediately to discuss how to deal with it..."

Seeing that Bi Ziyan was so excited, Sun Chuanting pulled it from his hand, glanced at it, and his face was slightly moved, but after all, he had a richer resume than Bi Ziyan, and his thoughts were much more enlightened. : "Your Majesty, Taizu and Taizong have failed to solve Mongolia after decades of efforts. Now that the battle is decided, the Emperor will surely shine and have a long history! But the most important thing at present is how to deal with the whole Mongolia. We need to have a big plan. Make sure that all tribes in Mongolia are safe and sound, and our border town is peaceful..."

Zhu Xu turned around fiercely, looked at Cao Huachun, and said sonorously: "Cao Huachun, delivered the decree, appointed Sun Chengzong as the special envoy with full powers to represent me to 'accept the surrender'. Except for the rigid conditions, everything else can be relaxed! Kulun City moved north, and the Mongolian Prime Minister was appointed. Just send some civil officials, weights and measures, characters, coins, etc. must be unified... No troops will be stationed, the population will be censused, households will be compiled, household registration documents will be issued, the old titles will be abolished, and the titles will be re-canonized according to my Daming princes, laws will be promulgated, and official systems will be established. Some customs that are not in accordance with the etiquette must be abolished..."

Seeing Zhu Xu talking so excitedly, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, and when Cao Huachun recorded it, Bi Ziyan said: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian ministries must not have sincerely surrendered. I'm afraid it may not be as the emperor wished, and it will backfire, rekindling the flames of war on the nine sides..."

Bi Ziyan still strives for "stability". His focus has always been on "China". In the "New Deal", it is gratifying to relieve the border troubles, but if there is a resurgence of war, it is not what he wants.

Sun Chuanting knew Bi Ziyan's thoughts, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said: "Your Majesty, there is basically no problem with Monan and Mobei. The key is in Oala. This place is too far away from my Daming. It is too far away and complicated. The minister's thoughts , is to be gentle, to sit and watch the changes..."

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting, his thoughts were realistic and not so conservative.

Smiling and sitting back at the table, Zhu Xu calmed down his excitement, and said: "Monan and Mobei are easy to talk about, and Moxi, there will be a good show soon, so wait patiently. These policies must not be implemented. To the point, but as long as it starts, it will be carried out in the future, no matter whether they oppose it now, or whether it is obedient or obedient, I don't care... Sometimes they come to me to ask me!"

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu and always felt that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him was plotting something again.

Naturally, they don't know that Junggar will rise in a short time, smashing the current Oirat (Oirat, Moxi Mongolia) leader He Shuote to pieces, becoming the new leader, and even defeating Khalkha. Invincible vertically and horizontally, the huge Mongolia, Junggar is respected!

You must know that the territory occupied by the current Mongolian tribe is larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, with great ambitions, and there is almost no place for other tribes to survive.At that time, whether it is the Heshuo Special Department or Khalkha, their only way of life will be in Daming!

At that time, Zhu Xu will have the final say on everything, and they will no longer be up to it!

Of course, the premise is that Zhu Xu wants to defeat the ambitious Junggar Khanate!

It must also be defeated. The Russians, who have risen from the West and have extremely strong territorial desires, are already on their way!

After a while, Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, looked at Cao Huachun with a calm expression, and said, "Let's deliver the decree, and leave the rest to Mr. Sun Ge. In addition, the first Prime Minister stationed in Mongolia was appointed by Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War. In charge, the cabinet selects officials and sends people there, and the rewards to the khanates of Khalkha can also be generous. In addition, the mutual market, commerce, and trade must be open. , to show me Da Ming's 'benevolence'..."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting have no objections, and they have gradually accepted His Majesty's "benevolent" approach.

Cao Huachun said: "Follow the order."

After finishing speaking, Cao Huachun turned around and ordered the Imperial Academy to draft an edict, send it to the cabinet, be reviewed by the supervisor of ceremonies, and then go to the Qianqing Palace for affixing the seal.

Although Bi Ziyan was excited about the Ming Dynasty's solution to the nine border troubles, the core of his concern was the "New Deal". After waiting for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the 'New Deal' will be implemented, especially the new land tax. I am afraid that the article of "paying taxes according to the amount" will not be able to come true, and there will be a lot of backlash. The governors and prefects of various places have also played a lot..."

The so-called "taxation based on the amount of acres of land" is a clear version of "the government and gentry pay taxes together", which treats taxpayers without distinction, regardless of identity and status.

Zhu Xu was not surprised by this, and said decisively: "The backlash at the local level has not been a day or two. I ordered the local government to continue to implement it without delay! All acts of resistance to the law must be relentless and resolutely suppressed. If they fail to do so, I will send troops from the capital!"

The faces of Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting changed slightly. The Majesty in front of him never liked killing people or dismissing him. If you can't do it, you will send someone else to do it, and you will bear the responsibility.

This is almost incomprehensible to officials all over the world who regard "reputation as an official" more than their fate, so they have to bite the bullet.

Bi Ziyan felt the pressure was great, and said: "Yes, the cabinet will not hesitate, but a period of chaos is inevitable. This year's summer grain will be reduced by a part, and I am afraid it will be less than 800 million shi."

The "Little Ice River" has entered the most intense period of time, and the number of places that reduce or exempt food taxes is also increasing, and a large reduction in income is inevitable.

"How about the business tax? Guomao Temple?" Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan.

Bi Ziyan pondered for a while, and said: "There is an estimated 800 million taels of silver for commercial taxes in various places, and an estimated 600 million taels of silver for Guomao Temple, and 3000 million taels of silver for all other places."

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly. Guomao Temple is also known as Huitong Trading Company. In his hands, it is at least 3000 million yuan a year. Tea, salt, gunpowder (firecrackers), mines, etc. are all monopolized, and there are many other businesses. The profit is astonishing, but in the hands of the cabinet, it shrinks so quickly!

He glanced at Bi Ziyan and said nothing.

At present, the imperial court's expenditure is mainly in three aspects, one is disaster relief, the other is the army, and the other is the Ministry of Industry.The annual expenditure for disaster relief is as high as tens of millions, and there are even more troops. The water conservancy projects of the Ministry of Industry will not stop for a while. In the next two years, the annual expenditure will be 800 million, and the total of these three items will exceed 3000 million. !

That is to say, unless Zhu Xu uses internal funds, the imperial court is already unable to make ends meet. This is still for this year, and the gap will be even bigger every year in the future!
