The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 228 Lord System
"Duo'er, what are you talking about? Your husband wants to dismantle my Tumote department? And take me to the capital to put me under house arrest?"

Tugel looked at Landuo'er in disbelief, startled and angry.

"Brother, Xianggong is also for the permanent peaceful coexistence of our Tumote tribe and Han people. Xianggong said that when brother goes to the capital, he will enjoy the same treatment as those princes and dukes of the Han people. The title of Marquis of Shunyi can also be hereditary. go down."

Seeing that her elder brother reacted so violently, Landuoer hurriedly explained.

"Fart, the Han people are the most cunning, the little emperor is clearly crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, betraying his allies naked."

Tugel couldn't listen at all, and cursed, his face was full of anger, obviously unwilling.

"Brother, keep your voice down..." Landuoer was also surprised, and quickly reminded, and then began to persuade.

Under Landuoer's persuasion, Tugel gradually calmed down and saw the current situation clearly.

Now the Tumed department has no ability to resist at all, and he has no choice.

If he disagreed, the little emperor would probably kill him and all the top officials of the Tumed Department without hesitation, and then directly canonize those ordinary clansmen.

If it was in the past, the emperor killed him, King Shunyi of the Tumed tribe, and the leaders of the tribes, which would definitely arouse the resistance of the entire Tumed tribe.

But now that Lan Duoer was comforting the [-] clansmen who were brought to the Ming Dynasty, the little emperor could really bypass him and the tribal leaders and directly subdue the ordinary clansmen of the Tumote tribe.

Thinking of this, Tugel also hated him greatly. He shouldn't have married his sister to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, let alone let him bring five thousand warriors with him.

At this moment, Tugel felt that he had been abused by his father Bu Shitu, and he shouldn't have completely fallen the Ming Dynasty in the first place.

In fact, Bu Shitu cannot be blamed for this, because according to the traditions and temperament of the Han people in the past, as long as the Tumote tribe wholeheartedly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, not only would they receive huge benefits and rewards, but they would not have to worry about the Han people bullying them.

Because the emperor and those officials of the Han people looked down on their pastures, cattle and sheep, and the leather of war horses could be traded, so there would be no conflict of interest at all.

What's more, since ancient times, only the grassland nomadic tribes first broke the covenant and invaded the Han people. There has never been a Han dynasty that voluntarily broke the covenant and was unwilling to live in harmony.

It is precisely because of this that Bu Shitu threw all his eggs in one basket and fell to the Ming Dynasty. Without the slightest precaution, he not only married his daughter, but also married five thousand warriors.

However, Zhu Cihong, the emperor, was completely different from the thinking of the previous Han emperors. This is probably something that Bu Shitu would never have thought of until his death.

"Duo'er, even if the master of your family wants to split up our Tumote tribe, why do you want to move your family out of Hetao?"

"My lord said it was to protect the Yellow River, but I don't know the specifics. Brother, I know you are unwilling, but even if my lord doesn't take you to the capital, without the support of the imperial court, I'm afraid the leaders of the tribes won't be there after you go back." Convince you, instead of intrigue and fight for survival on the grassland all day long, it is better to go to the capital to enjoy the blessing..."

At the end of Landuoer's speech, she had no choice but to follow the temptation carefully. She also understood a little about her husband's temper. If she couldn't convince her elder brother today, even if he didn't take action directly because of his reputation, he would encourage other leaders to get rid of his elder brother. It's what he doesn't want to see.

She couldn't convince her husband, so she could only try to convince her eldest brother.

"Duo'er, isn't your husband really trying to trick me into going to the capital to kill me?"

Tugel stared straight at his sister, obviously he had no trust in Zhu Cihong at all.

"Brother, you can rest assured about this. My husband has already promised me that I will be conferred the title of Marquis of Shunyi in front of all civil and military officials in the Huangji Palace. You will be hereditary and will retire with the country!"

"Hmph, didn't he canonize me as the King of Shunyi just outside Shahukou back then, and he was willing to never invade with my Tumed department?" Tugel snorted coldly, obviously no longer believing in the Ming Dynasty's set.

"Brother, this is different. Huangji Hall is the most sacred and solemn hall of the Han people..."

Lan Duoer hastened to popularize science for him again, the significance of being canonized in the Emperor Palace is far from what the so-called alliance on the grassland can compare.

"So, we should have formed an alliance according to the traditions of the Han people, so the little emperor wouldn't dare to break his promise, right?" Tugel was a little dubious, regretting that the alliance was too hasty at the beginning, and it was even more difficult for the younger sister to marry. It's too direct.

"Ok!"

Lan Duoer nodded helplessly.

"Well, what can the elder brother do now? I hope your husband can keep his word this time."

Tugel took a breath, and then said helplessly.

Seeing that her eldest brother was finally willing to compromise, Landuoer also heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhu Cihong also heaved a sigh of relief. Although the entire Tumote Department is the meat on the chopping board, he actually doesn't want to have a reputation for treachery. It's good that Tugel is willing to compromise.

After all, once he gets rough, no matter what excuses he makes, he can't cover up the emperor's treachery and treachery. Once he does this, it will definitely affect the values ​​​​of all Han people in Ming Dynasty.

Because the Han people in this era, whether they are scholars or ordinary people, are deeply influenced by Confucianism. They have a very strong sense of justice and moral values, unlike the West, which puts interests first.

The next day, Zhu Cihong summoned Tugel and dozens of leaders of the Tumed tribe, big and small, and announced his decision.

First of all, the entire Tumed Department will be relocated to the Liaohe area. Daming will manage the entire Tumed Department in accordance with the lord system of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Ten slightly older leaders will be canonized as earls, more than 20 medium-sized leaders will be canonized as viscounts, and the remaining more than 30 small leaders will be canonized as barons. The titles of all lords are hereditary and will be divided according to the size of the title A territorial ranch.

The Daming will set up an Anton Protectorate, which is at the same level as the provinces and is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government.

The jurisdiction includes the entire vast grassland area east of Zhangjiakou, north of the Great Wall, and south of Yinshan Mountain, and even includes the northernmost Horqin tribe.

The lords, large and small, do not need to pay taxes, and have absolute autonomy over the jurisdiction. The lords are not allowed to attack each other, and any conflicts must be reported to the Protectorate for resolution.

Anyone who dares to attack others without permission, regardless of the reason, the lord will have his family and family wiped out.

The only obligation of the lords is that once the emperor is recruited, he must lead the warriors to fight for the emperor.

The earl wants to send out a thousand horses, the viscount needs to send out five hundred horses, and the baron needs to send out two hundred horses. The horses and weapons are prepared by themselves.

There is no military pay at ordinary times, only when they go to war, and the rewards and pensions for those killed in battle are also different from those of the Ming army.
