Chapter 529 Pros and Cons of Naturalization

In fact, the emperor seldom used conspiracies and tricks, but the conspiracy made according to the general trend of historical development was even more difficult to decipher.

For example, the eradication of slaves in Pingliao means that the army has sufficient food and supplies, and then it is crushed with absolutely superior firepower; another example is the measures against the tribes of Mongolia, which is based on the impact of the catastrophe on the grassland.

It doesn't matter if you are not naturalized, as long as you can resist Lin Danhan's "Anne".Or, when a catastrophe strikes, it’s also considered amazing if you don’t starve to death.

With the two factors of Lindan Khan and the catastrophe, the emperor knew that most of the Mongolian tribes would submit and naturalize.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to raise troops and plunder.However, the increasing strength of the Ming army made the emperor have strong confidence in victory.

And Ma Chengfei basically explained his words in this informal occasion.

Naturalization is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will do its best to help, not only to resist Lin Danhan, but also to supply food and grass materials.

If you are not naturalized, you will not be regarded as an enemy. The horse market trade will continue as usual. If Lin Danhan wants to attack again, please ask for blessings.

Nuke also understood, although Ma Chengfei also said that in view of the past friendship, he would take special care of Zalut's department, but this is still far from the purpose of his coming.

Perhaps there will be a turning point when meeting with Man Gui and Master Yuan?
Hunak Dulen and Nuke thought of this unlikely possibility at the same time, but then they became interested in Zasak set up by Emperor Ming.

Zhasak, meaning "consul" in Mongolian, is a military and political official title mainly granted to Mongolians and Manchus by the Qing Dynasty in history.

Zhu Youxiao also used this official title, but it just turned the banners divided by the Qing Dynasty into districts, mainly occupied by Mongolian nobles such as Baylor, Beizi, Gong, and Taiji.

The administrative division above the district level is called a special area, which is equivalent to a "league".

Lin Dan Khan's demise is doomed, not only did he do it himself, but Ming Dynasty, without the threat of slavery, would not let him unify Mongolia.

Moreover, the policies implemented by Lin Dan Khan have caused more rebellions from various Mongolian tribes, indicating that the political core of Mongolian society is collapsing.

The task of the Ming Dynasty is to fill this gap, replace it with its own system and order, and reorganize the power of the Mongolian tribes.

In the eyes of the emperor, relying solely on danger and obstacles for frontier defense was simply unreliable.Look at the Great Wall, it was built in the Qin Dynasty, but in the Han, Tang, Song, and even Ming dynasties, has the border troubles been eliminated?

Therefore, the emperor accelerated the naturalization of the Mongolian tribes, turning the dead line of defense in the north of the Ming Dynasty into a Pingfan composed of Mongolian tribes.

In the process of setting up districts and special districts, part of the court will appoint ministers and generals to directly control the districts; the other part will appoint Mongolian nobles.

Naturalized generals such as Meng Ruhu and Hu Dawei, as well as Man Gui, who no longer argues that he is not a Mongolian, all have great hopes of becoming "Zasak" in the future.

There is only one principle: the local organizations of the Mongolian ministries can only belong to the imperial court, and cannot form the basis of a new political core that can compete with the imperial court.

Of course, Nuke and Dulen didn't know about this.Now they only care about how much power they will have and how much grassland the tribe will have if they are naturalized in Ming Dynasty.

And these, it seems that even the Wu Keshan brothers are not very clear.Obviously, the Ming court should be very cautious, and the system of setting up districts and special districts is still in the experimental stage.

"Lord Buhe has been appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of the naturalization of all ethnic groups?"

Hunake Du Leng was obviously surprised. According to his understanding of the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is the third rank, and he is already considered a senior official of the court.

Wu Keshan nodded very proudly. As a high-ranking official, this is undoubtedly his capital to show off.

Originally, the emperor wanted to set up a new institution similar to the Lifan Academy of the Qing Dynasty, but he felt that it was not mature enough. It was also an expedient measure to temporarily put Buhe in the Ministry of Rites.

In the future, the emperor will deliberately promote some officials of ethnic minorities to make the naturalization work continue to progress more smoothly.

"Long live is open-minded, and treats naturalized people of all ethnic groups equally." Ma Chengfei interjected, "The Jurchens' Yehe, Ula and other ministries also have official appointments, and civilians have their own places to settle."

The naturalized Mongolian and Jurchen ministries not only need to be appointed and resettled, but also have long-term supervision and control measures, which will become a tool for the Ming Dynasty to expand its territory to the north.

If you want the tribe to live well, you have to work hard.The emperor is not a good man and a believer, let alone a boy who spreads money. He will not do things that are not beneficial.

Hunak Dulen naturally knew the pros and cons of naturalizing Daming.Naturalization in name only, still retaining an independent status, Daming has to supply food and supplies, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

What he lost was the power of the Tu Emperor, and what he got was the asylum of Ming Dynasty.

Hunak Dulen knew very well that for the tribe, ordinary herdsmen had nothing to lose, and their lives would be better.For the nobles, they are definitely unwilling to accept such a result.

To put it bluntly, ordinary herdsmen do not have much resistance to naturalization.When the preferential policies were not introduced before, many Mongolians fled to the Ming Dynasty due to the pressure of life and became naturalized people.

Others don't mention it, the fierce tigers, the powerful tigers, and the naturalized flying cavalry camp sitting across from each other, didn't they all become Ming people in this way?

The establishment of administrative divisions such as districts and prefectures, as well as administrative management organizations at all levels, was aimed at the Mongolian nobles so that they could retain certain powers.

The proper resettlement of naturalized civilians so that they can live without worries is aimed at ordinary people.

This is really comprehensive and thoughtful!Hunak Dulen took a big sip of the wine, and felt bitter after the spicy.

Seeing the change in Hunak Dulen's expression, Ma Chengfei probably guessed what he was thinking.He didn't care much about whether his followers could be naturalized.

Under the current situation, Naturalized Daming can still retain some power and manage his tribe.But if Lin Danhan gave "Annei", then there would be nothing left.

The lesser of two evils, now hesitating, is still not forced to the point.

"Fighting General——" Nuke suddenly noticed the strange thing on the head of the fierce tiger, and pointed out with the strength of alcohol, "What is this, a headband?"

Hu Dawei laughed, nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. This is General Meng's headband, and he sometimes wears jewelry!"

Meng Ruhu rolled his eyes, pulled the strange thing down, and put it on his eyes. He picked his chin at Nuke and said, "This is called goggles. After wearing it, no matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it won't irritate your eyes." , but does not affect vision."

Nuke looked at the tiger-like eyes behind the transparent glass lens, and showed envy again.

"The army has just started to distribute, and even the commander-in-chief only has one pair." Hu Dawei explained from the side: "When there are more, I will definitely keep a pair for you."

Nuke grinned, nodded again and again, thinking: There is nothing wrong with becoming a naturalized Daming. With his bravery, it is not too difficult to earn merits like General Tiger and General Ferocious!
