Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 179 No War in Peking

However, Aiyou felt extremely humiliated in his heart, but he didn't dare to pause at all. He knew that he could survive this life because he was obedient. To shred the corpse into ten thousand pieces.

Because, just a few days ago, many Mongolian nobles with relatively strong bones refused to surrender, and Zhu Han ordered them to be chopped into pieces.

Today their heads are still hanging on the pillars outside the Ming army camp.

The victory of the Ming army in Yuerhai not only defeated the military power of the Mongolian Yuan, but also greatly destroyed the confidence of the various tribes in the grassland in the Mongolian Khan.

After all, even Aiyou, the Great Khan of Mongolia, was captured by the Ming army, and Chagan Sulu Ding was also captured by the Ming army!

From then on, as long as the Ming army is mentioned on the grassland, all the ministries on the grassland will definitely be terrified.

Of course Zhu Han knew that conquering the Mongolian nomadic tribes was not an easy undertaking, but such a big victory was enough to make him feel very gratified.

The Ming army celebrated three days in Yuerhai.

Afterwards, Zhu Han led his troops back south.

Several Ming army fortresses on the way home were also greatly praised by Zhu Han for their bravery withstood Tuoyin Timur's surprise attack!

Among them, Luo Guanzhong, the commander of Yingchangwei who made the most contribution, was emphatically commended by Zhu Han in the whole army.

"Commander Luo Guanzhong, how many times have you defeated more with less in a row, you are brave and resourceful!"

"At the beginning, I joined the army, but now I am an absolute hero!"

In fact, this time he was able to win more with less, and Luo Guanzhong felt that he did not display much commanding ability.

The victory of this battle was due to the Ming army soldiers from top to bottom who sacrificed their lives.

Whether it was Han soldiers, Jurchen soldiers, or even Monan Mongolian soldiers, they all showed the courage to fight to the death and defeated the enemy ten times their own!
Zhu Han looked at the remaining scene near Prairie Fort, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time.

He continued to say to Luo Guanzhong, "My Ming Dynasty's big victory in Mobei this time is not an end, but just a beginning!"

"This king has decided to set up the Mobei Protectorate here in Mobei!"

"It's up to you, Luo Guanzhong, to be the first Chief Protector of the Mobei Protectorate Mansion!"

Zhu Han's words immediately made Luo Guanzhong extremely excited.

Generally speaking, according to the rank sequence of the generals of the Ming army, it can be said that they have won several ranks in a row from a guard commander to a chief guard.

The status of the chief protector is almost at the same level as the deputy of the Xingdu division.

That is to say, Luo Guanzhong has risen from a guard commander to a frontier army leader on an equal footing with Guo Ying and others!
Not only that, Zhu Han's subsequent order even made all the soldiers of Prairie Fort cheer enthusiastically.

I saw Zhu Han leaping forward, waving his hand and saying to a group of Ming soldiers.

"All the soldiers of the Three Castles in the Grassland, you are now a member of the Mobei Protectorate!"

"Everyone is promoted to three ranks in a row, the lowest being a non-commissioned officer!"

. . . . .

Since the Mobei Protectorate was set up here, the 'Prairie Fort' naturally changed its name.

Zhu Han changed the name of 'Prairie Fort' to 'Mobei Fort' and made it the residence of the Mobei Protectorate.

It is impossible for the scale of Mobei Protectorate to be just such a small fortress.

Zhu Han's plan is to expand the fortress of Mobei Protectorate's Mansion tenfold. By then, 5000 troops can be stationed inside, including grain, clothes, padded clothes, medicines, and horses that can supply tens of thousands of people.

This is definitely a huge project on the Mobei grassland!

Guo Ying, Qi Xiang, Zhou Dexing and other generals were all shocked when they heard Zhu Han's plan.

"If Your Highness builds such a big fortress in Mobei, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of thousands of silver cars that can't come down!" Zhou Dexing said with a look of surprise.

Guo Ying also persuaded from the side, "Your Highness, this matter is very important. It is really not easy to transport building materials and other items from the Monan grassland to here!"

Zhu Han naturally didn't care about the doubts of the generals.

He smiled and said, "Of course I know it's not easy, but if we don't build this fortress in Mobei, then the fruit of today's victory in the fishing sea will be lost one day!"

"So, the fortress of the Protectorate of Mobei must be built, and it must be built very firmly, like a nail, firmly nailed to the grassland of Mobei!"

"I want all the nomadic tribes on the grassland, like those tribes in Monan, to bow down to Daming and obey their orders!"

Zhu Han already had his own ideas on how to manage the grassland and control the various grassland tribes.

Establishing the Mobei Protectorate is only the first step.

After so many days of marching, the Ming army has consumed almost all of its food and supplies.

After replenishing the supplies in the Mobei Fortress, Zhu Han led his soldiers of the Ming Army to cross the Gobi Desert to the south and return to the North Parallel Capital.

As soon as he returned to Beiping Dusi, Zhu Han immediately sent someone to send the news of the victory of Yuerhai Dasheng to capture Mengyuan Emperor Aiyou to Yingtianfu in the capital.

Zhu Han naturally knew what shock and glory this news would bring to the people of Daming!

Just in the city of Beiping, there has long been joy!
The sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums for celebration from morning to night resounded continuously for three days and three nights.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Beiping.

After the great victory in Mobei, Zhu Han ordered all the troops to rest in Beiping.

The captured Aiyou and others have been transported to Yingtian Mansion by Zhu Han's order in a prison car.

As for the other Mongolian nobles, Zhu Han applied to stay in Peiping with his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because these captured Mongolian nobles are of great use to Zhu Han!
In the early morning of October, the chilly autumn wind has already invaded the bone marrow.

In the backyard of King Ying's Mansion in Beiping, it was as warm as spring, warm wine was boiled on the stoves, and Zhu Han, Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing, Qi Xiang and others gathered for a drink again.

Since a few days ago, there has been a lot of deep snow on the grassland.

Generally speaking, as long as there is snow on the grassland, there will basically be no possibility of large-scale wars.

What's more, there are fortresses built by the Ming army everywhere on the Monan grassland, and there will be no Mongols who can threaten Beiping.

Therefore, when the Ming army rested in Beiping, they naturally had a small drink on three days and a big gathering on five days.

"Your Highness, there is one thing I don't understand at the end, and I want to ask more questions!" Guo Ying asked Zhu Han, breathing out the smell of alcohol.

"Oh, what's the matter, just ask." Zhu Han said indifferently.

As several veteran generals who raised troops together, Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing and others naturally made Zhu Han very kind and close.

"Your Highness, why don't those Mongols' wine bags and rice bags be sent to Yingtian to have their heads chopped off as sacrifices to the ancestral temple, but stay here in Beiping to eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day? I heard that Song Lian, the prefect of Beiping Prefecture, recently To recognize a few Mongol Tartars as disciples, and follow him every day to dance and write, is to spoil the Tartars!" Guo Ying said bitterly.

Although Guo Ying drank a lot of wine, he was not confused.

These words were all the complaints he heard from the soldiers of the Ming army on weekdays.

The soldiers in the Battle of Mobei naturally hated Meng Yuan, and they were naturally dissatisfied when they saw that the Mongolian captives lived a good life in Beiping.

However, these soldiers all knew that His Royal Highness could not do wrong, so they all resented Song Lian, the prefect of Beiping.

"Haha, I thought it was something, it turned out to be this!" Zhu Han laughed out loud after hearing that.

In fact, Zhu Han could understand the doubts of the soldiers of the Ming army.

For thousands of years, the princes and nobles who were exterminated in almost everything did not end well.

However, these captured Mongolian nobles lived a good life in Beiping, how could they not make the soldiers resentful.

"Your Highness, what's the meaning?" Guo Ying asked hastily.

Zhou Dexing, Qi Xiang and other generals also stopped what they were doing, and looked at Zhu Han in unison.

Zhu Han said with a smile: "Our victory in fishing is just a military victory. If we want to completely conquer this grassland, we must find a way to conquer them in their hearts as well!"

"That's why these Mongolian nobles must be left behind, because the herdsmen on the grasslands are all big bosses who don't know the government and court. They only recognize their own tribal leaders and nobles!"

"If all these captives are killed, then to issue orders on the grassland, we must go through our own people to find tribes one by one. The language and customs will not understand, and there will be a lot of trouble!"

"And if these Mongolian aristocrats are brought under the command of our Ming Dynasty, when the time comes, when an order is given, these people will bow their heads and obey their ears, and the herdsmen of the various tribes under their rule will become loyal subjects of our Ming Dynasty."

Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing and others nodded in agreement with Zhu Han's words.

But Qi Xiang saw some shortcomings in this statement.

"Your Highness, although the last general didn't read much, he also read some records in the history books. When the Great Tang conquered the Turks, it also surrendered many Turkic nobles, including the Turkic Jieli Khan, who also became Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The loyal and obedient subjects, but not long after, the ministries of the grassland no longer obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty. Now that I, Ming, adopt this strategy, isn’t there a danger that the ministries of the grassland will rebel again in the future?” Qi Xiang said worriedly .

Regarding Qi Xiang's question, Zhu Han was not only not angry, but showed a very gratified smile.

He nodded first, and then patiently explained to the generals.

"In this matter, I have already considered it."

"My Great Ming ruled the grasslands. Although I have borrowed elements from the Great Tang Dynasty, I must do better than the Great Tang Dynasty."

"So the Mobei Protectorate, as well as the Beiping Capital, are the key points!"

"Although the Tang Dynasty also set up Mobei Duhufu and Songmo Duhufu to control the grassland tribes, in the final analysis they were still Jimifu with loose governance methods."

"The Mobei Protectorate that I set up now is different from our Northern Parallel Capital, which is different from Datang."

"Da Ming not only needs to have garrisons in the military, but also to build strong castles, and also to exert the strongest influence and control on the grassland ministries in terms of economy and people's livelihood."

Zhu Han's plan is to turn Beiping into a nest of wealth and honor to control the spirit of these Mongolian nobles.

Taking advantage of the prosperous and affluent life in Beiping, these Mongolian aristocrats admire Daming wholeheartedly.

Then, these Mongolian nobles can be allowed to live in Beiping on weekdays, and their power on the grassland can be gradually controlled by some of their servants.

In this way, the Mongolian nobles became puppets in the hands of Daming.

This also provided the grassroots legal basis for the Ming Dynasty to rule the grassland.

Daming then cooperated with its own caravan and the garrison of the Protectorate's Mansion to transport a large amount of materials from the Central Plains to the tribes on the grassland in a fair trade.

These measures can not only control the grassland tribes in the hearts of the people.

These living materials can also be used to free the tribes from the annoyance caused by the lack of materials.

After hearing what Zhu Han said, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying, Qi Xiang and others all gave a thumbs up and praised in unison.

"Your Highness really has a far-reaching strategy, and the general admires it!"

"Your Highness, the genius of heaven!"

"Your Highness is very clever. From now on, no barbarian on the grassland dares to disobey Daming."

Zhu Han's strategy can be called an unsolvable conspiracy.

The basis of the strategy is actually to use the boundless national power and prestige of Ming Dynasty to take down those princes and nobles first, let them enjoy the rich life of Ming Dynasty, and obediently gradually hand over their rights to the tribes on the grassland.

Their power can be exchanged for their rich and happy life in Beiping, which can be regarded as a peaceful evolution.

In history, Tsarist Russia, in the process of expanding eastward and Central Asia, also used this method to firmly control the various local nomadic tribes in its own hands.

However, Zhu Han's strategy is still higher than that of Tsarist Russia back then.

The later Tsarist Russia, after all, was a foreign European, and its ability to assimilate the nomadic peoples of Central Asia and North Asia was much worse.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, Zhu Han's combined use of Huairou's first method and the big stick policy will definitely achieve more outstanding results on the grassland.

. . . .

On the streets of Wasi in Goulan, Beiping, Enke is the leader of a grassland tribe in Mobei.

His ancestors were the brothers of Genghis Khan Temujin, who had been enshrined as the leader of the Hesagar tribe in the grassland for generations.

By the time of Enke's generation, although he did not inherit the position of Hesagar Khan, he was assigned a lot of pastures and tribes, and he could be regarded as a small Mongolian nobleman.

Enke was captured by the Ming army in the previous Yuyuerhai battle.

Because he has a relatively strong ability to adapt to the situation, he did not adopt an overbearing attitude of stubbornly resisting the Ming army's interrogation to the end.

Therefore, Enke was not involved in the process of the Ming army killing chickens and monkeys.

After coming to Peiping, Enke, a Mongolian nobleman who grew up on the Mobei grassland, was immediately attracted by the prosperous and prosperous scene in front of him.

Although Beiping was the capital city of the Great Yuan Dynasty back then, after two years of construction by Zhu Han, the city of Beiping is now more prosperous and prosperous.

There are row upon row of shops on the street, which is very lively.

The people of Daming on the street were all red, with happy smiles on their faces.

The strong aroma of food and the lively noise made Enke, the leader of the nomadic tribe in Mobei, fully understand what prosperity and fireworks are.

In particular, Song Lian, the magistrate of Beiping in the Ming Dynasty, often sent people to take them touring inside and outside of Beiping city. It took only a few days for Enke, an old hat, to see Beiping city as a paradise.

Do not!
Beiping, where there is no war, is a fairyland that is several times better than heaven!
Enke and other prairie tribe leaders quickly integrated into the prosperous and prosperous life in Beiping.

In just two months, Enke learned the way of life in Peking.

He first chose delicious food among the shops along the street.
