Now that you are sweating, you need the headquarters, which is the core team to maintain the Mongolian tribes.

In Suiyuan and Hetao, a mutated version of the military household system is used, which is quite suitable in the two places. The tribal leaders serve as hundred households, deputy thousand households, and thousand households, which regulates the order, but does not change the power, just like the southwest region Execution of restraints.

Fundamentally, this is what Genghis Khan did hundreds of years ago.

Tracing back to the source, it is still the enfeoffment system, because its ruling cost is the lowest, especially in barren areas like the Mongolian Plateau.

Mr. Lu Simian once concluded that there are three steps in the expansion of the enfeoffment system, first:

"Intimidate others and order them to obey."

If you want to rule others, you must win first, this is the most basic.

Then comes the second step, called:
"For the chief, change my surname, relatives, meritorious officials, and old friends."

The concubines and heroes of the armed colonization in the Western Zhou Dynasty, as well as the continuous marriage between the Manchu and Mongolia, all did this.

If the people cannot be changed, it is often easiest to change a few leaders from top to bottom.

Connected by blood, culture eroded, so that it changed from raw to familiar, and then continued to change from enfeoffment to prefecture.

The third and final step:
"Open up wasteland, so that the same surname, relatives, meritorious officials, and old friends will be transplanted."

Mobilize to fight, so as to improve cohesion, obtain land, tribes, money, and then the relationship will be inseparable.

These three steps were taken in this way in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Chu State, known as "I am a barbarian", also followed the example of the enfeoffment system, and its territory even expanded to the Lingnan area.

The Mongols took two steps. In the end, the population base was too small and the culture was simple, so they were assimilated instead.

The Manchus completed all three steps, but because of insufficient population, they were forced to assimilate, so that in the late Qing Dynasty, the Manchus in the court could not speak Manchu.

Even Pu Yi only has one "Yi Li" (flat body).

There is no three-step process in the West, which is directly physical annihilation and direct colonization.

The first step has been completed, and now Zhu Yixi has come to the second step, which is to change the chiefs into his relatives and old friends.

The nobles have no such possibility, and the clan has no such ability.

Marriage is possible.

Didn't the emperor just marry a Mongolian concubine?
His sons are not exempt from customs, and they must accept concubines.

It is difficult to marry a daughter.

"Han supremacy is not advisable, after all, it is the Chinese nation."

Zhu Yixi touched his chin and made up his mind without hesitation.

The imperial power is supreme, and there is no need to choose between the loyal aliens and the double-minded Han.

Perhaps it is because the weaker you are, the more inferior you are. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, they have been ashamed of making marriages. In the Ming Dynasty, they even regarded old coins and marriages as a scourge.

The atmosphere has also become more conservative.

Although this kind of one-size-fits-all approach is quite encouraging, it does not conform to political behavior after all.

For imperial power, as long as the rule can be maintained, let alone a daughter, even the prince can sacrifice.

Of course, considering public sentiment and public opinion, Zhu Yixi did not dare to act arbitrarily, and only considered the matter of marrying a wife for the time being.

Budali was so happy to miss Shu in Yuquan Mountain that he almost forgot about the Chahar tribe.

After the emperor summoned him, he rushed over to see him.

"Kalka Mongol Qufu, I think it won't be long before herdsmen will go south to the mutual market. You are in the Chahar department, so you have to watch carefully."

When Qiqige became interested, she still acted as an interpreter without feeling tired.

"Don't worry, I, Budali, will definitely take a good look at Chahar's department."

Although I don't know how sincere Budari's words are, Zhu Yixi feels relieved because he is an uncle after all.

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

Zhu Yixi thought over and over again, instead of pouring a glass of wine, looked at his face, and said carefully:
"In my opinion, it is easier to change the Chahar tribe from the banner alliance system to the thousand household system, just like Suiyuan and Hetao."

As for Baihu, Deputy Qianhu, and Qianhu, etc., after Qiqige explained it, Budali suddenly understood, and then said with a tangled expression:
"Your Majesty, the Chahar Department now has more than [-] accounts, and my subordinates have more than [-] accounts. I'm afraid it will be difficult to divide!"

Budali didn't hesitate to separate those big tribes, but when it comes to himself, that's another matter.

"You are the king of Beihai County, so it is naturally different."

The emperor nodded and said with a light smile: "I agree, the county king gets two thousand accounts, and the remaining more than 1000 accounts, you can split them up and give them to your sons."

"A thousand households, hundreds of households, they are all your heirs anyway, it's no different."

The corner of Budari's mouth twitched, and he glanced at her sister, looking at her nose and chest, and could only bow down:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"Then, Prince Chahar?"

The five-year-old Prince Chahar, Burni, the eldest son of Abu Nai, is the nominal ruler of the Chahar tribes.

"How many people does it directly control?"

"When I was in Abu Nai, there were more than [-] tents, and now there are about [-] tents left. Many tribesmen have been divided up..."

Budari gloated, now that he is Chahar's second in command, naturally he can't see it well, even though he is only a child.

"The prince will manage three thousand tents!"

Zhu Yixi smiled slightly, and with one thin lip, half of his strength was cut off.

In this case, the people directly under the central government are only a thousand more than Budari, and even if they grow up in the future, they will not be able to keep their promises.

Hearing this, Budari thought about prying the corner of the wall and wooing some of his followers, even if he didn't have many, he could give some to his son.

It was just the emperor's next words that made his smile freeze.

"The [-] tent members, together with Qiqige's dowry, will just establish four thousand households and become the Khan Ministry."

Qiqige's dowry of [-] tents was forced by the Chahar Department, and it was also the result of the coercion of Governor Xuanfa.

Zhu Yixi said to himself: "The Khan's tent directly belongs to Chuluo Khan. After all, as a great Khan, how can he not have a group of people?"

"You're right." Budari stopped his surprised expression and hurriedly said, "Is four thousand tents too little for a sweat tent? I can—"

"no need."

The emperor shook his head, and said softly: "Suiyuan, Hetao, and then Horqin and other tribes gather together, and [-] tents can be paid out."

"The key lies in the boundaries of grazing. It can't be too far away or too close."

Budari was silent.

[-] accounts, that is, [-] families, can produce at least [-] cavalry. What a huge number.

At the same time, he also considered that this sweat tent will not be placed in the Chahar Department, right?Otherwise, why ask this question?

Budari raised his head and looked at the emperor's smiling expression, which seemed indifferent no matter how he looked at it.

He looked at Qiqige, asking for help, but found nothing.

Obviously, this is a hard outcome to get rid of.

In the whole of Monan, there is no more suitable place than the Chahar Department. It is close to Xuanda, and after crossing the Great Wall, you can reach Beijing in a few days.
