Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 379 Great Victory! Great Victory! The Emperor is in high spirits! Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao issue their orders with great enthusiasm!

the other side!
The Oirat Khan Choros had crossed the border and returned to the territory of his Oirat people.

"Sweat profusely."

"Am I really going to leave like this?"

"Now that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is here, as long as the Great Khan gives the order to send his army to attack, we may be able to take him down directly."

“If we really capture him, then the Oirat will have leverage to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, and it won’t be impossible to completely annex the Tatars.”

Upon seeing Choros' return, a Oirat general immediately came forward and asked, quite unwillingly.

"If Zhu Ying were so easy to deal with, the Tatars wouldn't be in their current predicament."

"The Tatars."

“What a hero Arughtai was.”

"He ended up dying."

“Moreover, this time is different from the past. The Ming Dynasty actually intends to directly control the Tatar territory, which is not a good thing for our people.” Choros sighed, his eyes filled with an indescribable solemnity.

"Sweat profusely."

"This may be an exaggeration by the Ming Dynasty."

"Since ancient times, the Han people of the Central Plains have had no control over my grasslands, or rather, it is impossible for them to have any control over them."

"I suppose they deliberately said that the Tatars had submitted in order to intimidate our people and to take control of the Tatar territory."

One of the Oirat generals spoke up.

"kindness."

Choros nodded, but his face showed a thoughtful expression: "Let's hope so. If the Ming Dynasty really gains control of the Tatars, it will not be a good thing. Let's keep a close eye on it."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty is approaching the border, our people should not cross the border again. What we need to do is wait and see. As long as the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops, our people will take advantage of the situation to invade the Tatars and seize their territory in one fell swoop."

And this time!
Another Oirat general said with a solemn expression, "But if the Ming Dynasty really doesn't withdraw its troops, are we just going to live as neighbors with the Ming Dynasty like this?"

“No, it won’t,” Choros said with certainty.

Then.

Look back.

He looked toward where the Ming cavalry were, and where Zhu Ying was.

His eyes were filled with coldness.

"Wait, then."

"Only the Oirat can unify the northern frontier and restore the glory of our grasslands."

"The Ming Dynasty is indeed very strong now, but our clan will be able to contend with it sooner or later and restore the glory of our ancestors," Choros said confidently.

"We swear to follow the Great Khan to the death."

All the surrounding generals spoke in unison.

……

Ying Tianfu!
"Good news!"

"A great victory."

"His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty led his army to attack the grassland palace, broke the Tatar royal court, and once again sealed the wolf's lair, creating a unique achievement that is unprecedented in history."

"now."

"The Great Khan of the Tatars has surrendered to our Great Ming, and the entire territory of the Tatars belongs to our Great Ming."

"From this day forward, the Tatars will cease to exist, and only the people under the rule of our Great Ming will remain."

"A great victory..."

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, inside and outside the city.

The urgent messenger's shouts echoed throughout the city.

Countless people witnessed it and were all shocked, but this was quickly followed by boundless elation.

"Hahaha."

"May Heaven bless the Ming Dynasty!"

"May Heaven protect you."

"The Tatars, the strongest of the Northern Yuan, have now been wiped out by His Highness the Crown Prince's army."

"From then on, the barbarians in the north were no longer a threat."

"Let's see if they dare to invade my Great Ming again."

"They brought this on themselves. It is said that the Northern Yuan was divided into three parts, the strongest of which was the Tatar. This time the Tatar fell, and the next ones will be the Oirats and the Uriyangkhai."

"Let's celebrate with a drink today."

"Yes."

"That is only right, to celebrate the Great Ming..."

Throughout Yingtian City.

As the good news spread, countless people were extremely excited, and the entire city of Yingtian became lively at this moment.

For them.

This is undoubtedly a momentous occasion.

A strong nation shares its glory.

and.

For countless people of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan was not a thing of the past, but a deep-seated hatred, a blood feud.

Inside the Fengtian Hall!
As good news arrives.

The news naturally reached the Fengtian Hall very quickly.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"As expected of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, he is indeed remarkable."

"We will hold the Wolf Mountain Pass twice, and even directly annihilate the Tatars, bringing them under the control of our Great Ming."

"This is much better than sealing the wolf and residing in the Xu."

"From this day forward, the territory of our Great Ming Dynasty will expand by more than a million miles once again."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It was filled with a sense of exhilaration.

Obviously.

Such a grand event, such a triumphant result.

It was truly inspiring.

"We congratulate His Majesty."

"May the Ming Dynasty last for ten thousand generations."

Seeing the extremely excited Zhu Yuanzhang, all the civil and military officials also offered their congratulations.

Many ministers also had expressions of excitement on their faces.

As the territory expands and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty grows, their salaries will also increase.

This is naturally a good thing.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"This is a report written by His Highness the Crown Prince himself."

"To bring stability to the Tatars."

"The Emperor needs to appoint officials to go to the northern grasslands to take over the administration of the Tatars."

"We will also carry out education and civilization for the Tatar people." The messenger respectfully held up a memorial.

Yun Qi, who was serving nearby, immediately walked quickly towards the prince, picked up the memorial, and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not a moment.

When Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial written by Zhu Ying himself, he opened it and read it.

He, who already had a smile on his face, nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty."

“Our grandson has completely controlled the Tatar princes and nobles, and now they have no choice but to submit to our Great Ming.”

"Except."

"Many strongholds of our Great Ming have been scattered across the northern grasslands, all of which were originally key locations of the various Tatar tribes."

"With these Tatar royal nobles acting as puppets, within a few years, all of these millions of Tatar people will be under the control of our Great Ming," Zhu Yuanzhang said with great emotion.

Obviously.

The report contained Zhu Ying's proposed methods for implementing national policies in the Tatar territory.

only.

Just as Zhu Ying had said, he was responsible for expanding the territory, while governance was left to Zhu Yingtai and his son.

Therefore, Zhu Ying would not worry too much about subsequent official transfers and governance.

"Father."

"The total population of the Northern Yuan was only a little over ten million, while the Tatars had four to five million people. This governance aims to completely incorporate them."

"Only by implementing benevolent policies can we win their hearts and completely submit them to our Great Ming."

"Only in this way can the northern frontier region enjoy lasting peace and stability."

"of course."

"We cannot treat them with the same kindness we show to the people of the heartland of our Great Ming."

“But with the implementation of our Great Ming's national policy, the land tax and poll tax have been merged, and various other benefits can also be applied,” Zhu Biao said slowly. “That’s natural,” Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He then looked at the assembled officials in the court and said, “Our Great Ming can show kindness and implement benevolent policies towards the common people, but only the Han people hold power. However, our Great Ming will not do the same cruel things that the former Yuan court did.”

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the civil and military officials spoke in unison.

Obviously.

These words of Zhu Yuanzhang became the ironclad rule for the future Ming Dynasty.

No matter how vast the territory of the Ming Dynasty may become in the future, it will always treat the common people under its rule with benevolence, win their hearts, and make them serve the Ming Dynasty.

can.

They will never be able to take power.

In the future, there may even be a kind of subtle, pervasive rule.

For example, in the army, the rank of centurion is their limit, and if they make a really great contribution, the rank of deputy commander is their limit.

It's impossible to let them wield too much power.

As for local officials, the county magistrate was the highest rank.

Use barbarians to control barbarians.

That's it.

"Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Personnel."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

"The minister is here."

Yu Xin and Zhao Mian immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"The Ministry of Revenue dispatched enough officials to the Tatar lands to register households and compile records for storage."

"Since the Tatars no longer exist, the Tatar people are now subjects of our Great Ming. To ensure their complete submission, they must be registered and recorded. As long as they live on the territory of our Great Ming, unless they hide and become outlaws, they must all be registered."

"The Ministry of Personnel selects officials to go to the northern frontier to take over the administration of the government, establishes various prefectures, appoints prefects, appoints county magistrates, and establishes various powers."

"In short, the national policy of 'equalizing land tax and poll tax' implemented by our Great Ming Dynasty, and even the fine salt, must all be extended to the Tatar lands."

“We must let these Tatar people know that although the Tatars are gone, they can live a better life if they submit to our Great Ming.”

"Only in this way will they truly submit to the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind," Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the two ministers directly.

"May I ask, Your Majesty?"

"How many officials are needed for this deployment?" Zhao Mian asked respectfully, just to avoid making any mistakes.

“The more the merrier.”

"The chief official should dispatch some experienced ministers, while younger officials can be appointed as clerks and county magistrates."

"Fang Xiaoru, who is currently handling government affairs in the northern frontier, is quite good. Let him go to the northern frontier to govern a region and be in charge of the management of officials in the Ministry of Personnel."

"Even the supervision of the integration of land tax and poll tax."

“And Bu Wan.”

“He’s not bad either. The reason why our grandson was able to stand out in Daning back then was largely due to Bu Wan’s support, and we’ve always remembered that.”

"Let Bu Wan go to the northern frontier to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and entrust him with all matters such as the merging of the poll tax into the land tax and the distribution of fine salt," Zhu Yuanzhang said after thinking for a moment.

"I understand."

Zhao Mian and Yu Xin respectfully accepted the order.

"Father."

"The situation in the northern grasslands is different from that in the heart of our Ming Dynasty."

"In our Great Ming Dynasty, the main crop in the south is rice, while in the north it is wheat. The grasslands of the northern frontier are mostly used for grazing, and wheat is the second most important crop."

"Therefore, regarding the integration of land tax and poll tax."

"In my opinion, we need to be more meticulous," Zhu Biao said at this moment.

"The northern frontier is extremely far."

"We can't see it right now; the national policy can only be implemented after the governing official arrives."

"Anyway."

"Fairness and impartiality are paramount."

"Distribute pastures and fields, and register them all. Since we have already wiped out the Tatars, let's go all the way and nationalize all the pastures and fields of the Tatars in the northern frontier. The people can graze their livestock and grow crops, but they cannot trade them."

"All will be allocated according to household registration."

"Those with household registration will be granted pastures and fields; those without household registration will not be granted such land," Zhu Yuanzhang said after a moment's thought.

This was in line with the previous policy of merging the poll tax into the land tax in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally adept at handling these matters.

"I understand."

Zhao Mian and Yu Xin immediately nodded in agreement.

"Biao'er."

"Is there anything else to add?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao.

"The Tatars have just been established, and their territory is vast, requiring a large number of soldiers."

"With the Tatars settled, the border areas of Beiping, Daning, and even Xi'an and Taiyuan are no longer in danger."

"All border troops in these four prefectures can be transferred to Tatar territories for defense."

"The Tartars have just been pacified, and while there are no major disasters, minor ones are frequent. Moreover, the implementation of our Great Ming's national policies requires the support of an army to suppress them in order to ensure their success," Zhu Biao said after a moment's thought.

With the Tatars settled.

These northern border prefectures were no longer threatened by the border, so they could move further north, allowing the military forces here to be deployed and utilized.

The total strength of the border troops in these prefectures is quite large, amounting to over a hundred thousand.

It was once a major military stronghold of the Ming Dynasty.

"In addition to the border troops, the county troops can also be deployed as appropriate."

"What we need to send troops to guard now is this newly opened grassland territory."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that having over 100,000 border troops wasn't enough, so he decided to add another fire.

"Tang Duo."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at the Minister of War.

"Your subject is here." Tang Duo immediately stepped forward.

"The Ministry of War is responsible for the deployment of troops this time, in short."

"Ensure that this newly opened grassland land is completely under the control of our Great Ming, and garrison it with heavy military force."

"If any Tatars refuse to submit to my Great Ming, the army shall directly suppress them, the ringleaders of the rebellion shall be executed, and all followers shall be reduced to slaves and exiled to various places." Zhu Yuanzhang issued a direct order.

"I accept the decree."

Tang Duo respectfully accepted the order, and then said, "Reporting to Your Majesty."

"These troops stationed in the northern frontier still need a skilled and capable general to command them so that they can be deployed in real time. Your Majesty is requested to make a decision on the selection of such a general."

Hear this!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the military officials in the main hall.

Many military officials wore expressions of anticipation.

Obviously.

This is a good job, a job that will bring great rewards.

"Duke of Ying".

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on Fu Youde.

Upon hearing his name called, Fu Youde was extremely excited. He strode forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Your subject respectfully awaits Your Majesty's decree."

"Would you be willing to guard this grassland for us?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

“Your Majesty trusts this old minister so much, this old minister swears to repay you with his life,” Fu Youde replied loudly.

"it is good."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction and immediately made the final decision: "With the Duke of Ying personally guarding and commanding these hundreds of thousands of border troops, it is enough to stabilize the grasslands and the northern border of our Great Ming."

"The general guarding this time is the Duke of Ying."

"As for the selection of the deputy general, we will discuss it with the Crown Prince, and we will prepare to set off for the northern frontier in the next few days."

Fu Youde immediately bowed and said, "This old minister accepts the decree."

Subsequently.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao each gave a sentence, continuing to issue numerous instructions regarding the governance of the northern frontier. If the decisions were made today, the northern frontier would be stable in the future, and education and civilization could be put on the agenda as quickly as possible.

After everything has been explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've said so much, there are so many things to do."

“Our grandson is full of martial virtue, he is indeed formidable.”

"But it's also caused a lot of trouble for us and his father."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, seemingly with a hint of helplessness.

However, his tone was filled with a strong sense of pride.
