Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 197 Completely solve the grassland problem
For Zhu Jinsong's statement, these princes and Taijis on the grasslands actually didn't really believe it.

If it is said that Daming can regard the grassland as a part of Daming, these princes and Taiji will not doubt it at all, after all, there is a precedent of the Sauron tribe.

But if it is said that Daming can treat the herdsmen on the grassland as the people of Ming Dynasty, these princes and Taijis can't help but murmur in their hearts.

There is a saying called looking at the essence through performance——

On the grassland, from the Huns to Rouran to the Turks, from the Tatars to the Oirats to the Mughals, why did generations of grassland tribes keep going south to plunder?Why can't they learn to farm like Tangkou in the Central Plains?

The answer is that because of the ecology and living environment of the grassland itself, they cannot farm like the people in Tangkou of the Central Plains, so they can only choose the nomadic way to ensure the survival of the ethnic group.

Similarly, due to factors such as low productivity and single means of survival, these grassland tribes can only solve the problem by abandoning the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe and going south to plunder when facing black disasters and white disasters.

From the perspective of Zhongyuan Tangkou, this is certainly wrong, because you can't survive and you come to rob me?There is no such reason in this world!
From the perspective of the tribes on the grassland, besides this method, where else do they have other solutions?
Therefore, the grassland tribes can only fight back and forth with the Central Plains hall.

When the prairie is strong, they will beat the Central Plains Tangkou wildly, and when the Central Plains Tangkou is strong, they will beat the grassland crazily.

For example, now that Daming's fist is hard, these princes and Taijis on the grassland are willing to submit to Daming. Even if they want to practice Chinese law, speak Chinese, and lose part of their rights in the future, these princes and Taijis can only hold their noses and endure. up.

Don't talk about inland relocation, because this is the most thoughtless way to play - even if the tribes on the grassland agree to inland relocation, will the people in the Central Plains who have been squeezed out of their means of production because of their inland migration be willing?Even if the current prairie tribes moved inward, wouldn't new prairie tribes be born in the future?

Like the Qing Dynasty's policy of reducing the number of men, it is completely a game of drinking poison to quench thirst.

On the surface, during the 200 years of the Qing Dynasty, there was indeed no such thing as grassland going south, and the strategy of reducing the number of people is also there, but in reality?

In fact, this is just a little earlier in the Qing Dynasty, and it has caught up with the good time again. If the Qing Dynasty is a little later in the evening, and the cool time is another hundred years in the morning, it is not certain what will happen to the Qing Dynasty fate.

If you are interested, you can search for "Prairie Cutting" and add the combination of Xuan and Yan. There is a high probability that you will find a new world. The full name of this call cannot be issued directly).

Chen Danran once said: Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough for a region.

The strategy of reducing the number of people, which only seeks one time and one area, is simply drinking poison to quench thirst. Not only can it not completely solve the problem, but it will leave an endless legacy.

The only way to really solve the problem of the grassland is to completely tie the grassland and the Central Plains together.

Emperor Zhu looked at the prairie princes and Tai Ji standing in the main hall, and said with a smile: "How are the living conditions in Sauron's department? All the nobles must have seen it before?"

When it comes to the life of Sauron's tribe, all the princes and Taijis on the grassland can't help feeling a little envious and jealous.

Speaking of the original living conditions, it must be that these tribes on the grassland lived better. After all, the place where the Sauron tribe lived was bitterly cold, and my Qing Dynasty forced the Sauron tribe to maintain the habit of fishing and hunting, and they were not allowed to farm. They are not allowed to breed. Compared with the life of the grassland tribe, the living conditions of the Sauron tribe are actually more difficult.

But since Sauron's tribe took the lead in falling to Daming, all this has changed.

Daming directly sent people to instruct the people of Sauron's department to cultivate and raise them, so that the beggars of Sauron's department learned to cultivate and breed again.

As the grain cultivated by Sauron's department began to be harvested, the living conditions of Sauron's department are now better.

But, it's no use being greedy.

At that time, the situation between Qing and Ming was not particularly clear, and when the Sauron tribe did not take the lead in falling to Ming, all the tribes in the grassland were extremely optimistic about Qing, thinking that the old dog Qian Deaf could fight another famous victory in history, No one dared to bet on Daming.

When the rule of the Qing Dynasty began to decline, the princes and Taiwanese princes on the grassland began to worry about the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the grassland.

In the past, there was also a Ming Dynasty, the emperor was also named Zhu, and there was an emperor named Zhu Laosi...

As a result, it has been delayed until now, and I almost regretted the intestines of all the princes and Taiji.

However, Zhu Jinsong didn't seem to see the envy and hatred on the faces of these princes and auspicious people at all, he just smiled and said: "I just said that the grassland and the Ming Dynasty should not be distinguished from each other, and the herdsmen of the grassland and the people of the Ming Dynasty should be treated equally. Naturally, we want the herdsmen on the grassland to live as well as the people of Ming Dynasty."

"So, I plan to build cities and roads on the grassland."

"Build a city at the center of every few tribes, connect each city with straight roads, and build several roads leading directly to Daming."

"For example, Chahar and Hujiertu will build a city each, connecting Xuanhua with a straight road, and there will also be a straight road connecting the two cities."

To play bundling, there must be a rope—a road.

Theoretically speaking, even if the means of survival on the grassland are too single, but with so many livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses, even if they exchange things, the herdsmen will not be unable to deal with disasters such as white disasters and black disasters. Bar?
The problem lies in the word road.

If there is no road, what is the use of no matter how many cattle and sheep the herders have?Once a sudden heavy snowfall occurs and a large number of cattle and sheep are frozen to death, how many cattle and sheep can the tribes on the grassland eat?How to transport it to the entrance of the Central Plains and sell it?

With roads and cities, combined with sociology, markets and other means, it is almost possible to convert the herdsmen of these grassland tribes from nomadic to settled. Quick help in times of disaster.

Therefore, the road is the most prerequisite for solving the problem.

It's just that the princes and Taiji of these grassland tribes didn't think that building roads would facilitate Daming's disaster relief. They only thought that building roads and cities would facilitate Daming's use of troops on the grassland.

Once you transform from nomadic to settled, you will have nowhere to run!
Zhu Jinsong naturally also saw the pain and entanglement on the faces of these princes and auspicious people, but Emperor Zhu didn't care about it. Instead, he said straight to the point: "In the future, Daming will build social schools in these cities, so that the grasslands The children in the country can also have books to read like the children in Handi."

"At the same time, these cities are also responsible for the tasks of frontier markets in the past, but they have changed from being open occasionally to long-term opening, just like the markets in the cities of Handi, including salt, iron, and tea, and there will be no more messy things like before. , such as the statement of limited transactions by receipt."

"In addition, Daming will also station some troops inside and outside the city. Once there is a white disaster or a black disaster on the grassland, the garrison will quickly dispatch to rescue the disaster."

"What's more, the Ming Dynasty will also recruit soldiers on the grasslands. All grassland herdsmen who are over the age of 35 can sign up to join the army, and they will be treated exactly the same as the Han family."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong suddenly changed the subject, and said solemnly: "In the future, the Ming Dynasty will set up prefectures, counties and government offices at all levels on the grassland, which will be exactly the same as those in the Han Dynasty in every respect."

"That is to say, from the date of the establishment of the government, private soldiers and lynchings are not allowed in the various ministries of the grassland. You and the elders and nobles of the various ministries will be conferred by the imperial court, and will be demoted from generation to generation. , until the removal of the title."

"If you are willing to accept it, you will stay. If you are not willing to accept it, I will not embarrass you. You can leave now. Whether you are going to join the old dog Qian Deaf or plan to move to another place, I will guarantee that you will stay in Daming. safety in the country."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jinsong picked up the tea and quietly waited for the choices of these princes and auspicious people.
No one chooses to leave.

Zhu Jinsong directly put all these conditions on the table, and these princes and auspicious people were relieved-not afraid of the conditions and requirements of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but afraid that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be like the emperors and lords of the Qing Dynasty. The knife cuts the grassland's flesh and bleeds the grassland's blood!

Du Erbert's Tai Jidang even bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

A group of other princes and Taiji also bowed and said: "We will follow the will of Tian Khan!"

The princes and auspicious people on the prairie have figured it out. If you lose some rights, you will lose them. Losing rights is better than going on the road neatly with the whole family.

Furthermore, if it can be completely the same as Handi, it is really hard to say who will benefit and who will suffer.

As for the fact that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was willing to guarantee their safety in the territory of Ming Dynasty... Who will guarantee their safety after leaving Daming?The ministries of the grasslands can't even compete with Qian Deaf and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Do they still want to meet the Ming's army?
Looking for death is not such a way!

Seeing that all the princes and auspicious people have made choices, Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Since you have chosen to trust Zhen and Daming, then Zhen and Daming will not let you down."

"Da Ming will set up many workshops on the grassland, and I will ask people to allocate some extra shares to you for dividends. The benefits you will gain in the future will far outweigh what you will lose."

"In addition, as I said just now, if the Ming Dynasty wants to build cities and straight roads on the grassland, it will need a lot of young and strong people. The herdsmen on the grassland who are willing to work on the construction site will all be paid according to the treatment of the Han family. .”

"With money and a market, the life of grassland herdsmen is much better than before."

Zhu Jinsong's promise made these princes and Taijis happy.

Duerbert's Taiji even knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said: "The only supreme, great and invincible emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Tian Khan! Duerbert's department is willing to use his life to defend your Majesty, carry out your will with blood!"

The complexions of the other princes and auspicious people immediately turned dark.

It's this Dulbert Butaiji again!
This person has the appearance of Heshen and Zhongtang, so don't underestimate him!
Then, all the princes and princes who didn't want Duerbert's Taiji to be more beautiful than the former ones also bowed: "I'm waiting too!"

Zhu Jinsong laughed aloud, stretched out his hand to help, and said, "Be flat."

After all the princes and Taiji stood up, Duerbert's Taiji said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think that since we have the protection of the Ming army and the law of the Ming Dynasty must be fully enforced, then Du There is really no need for Albert's department to retain the original cavalry."

"So, I thought about dedicating all the original cavalry of Dulbert's troops to His Majesty and handing them over to His Majesty?"

All the princes and Taiji from the Lute, Aerzhai, Haoqite, and Karaqin tribes hurriedly shouted: "The same is true for the ministers, and the ministers will also dedicate all the cavalry in the tribe to your majesty!"
