Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Chengfeng's so-called peace talks are actually a kind of dismemberment.

    He took out the charter and asked Li Ruofan to read it for himself. It was related to the fate of the whole family. Li Ruofan naturally did not dare not to be careful, but the more she read, the colder her heart became.

    The entire Mongolia will follow the example of the Duoyan Three Guards. Although Li Ruofan is nominally respected as the king, in fact it is divided according to the situation of guard posts. There are a total of fifteen guards. Pastures are demarcated between each guard post, so that the tribes of each guard can be separated.  Grazing was carried out within this range, and their horses and sheep were purchased by treasure dealers to provide them with daily necessities.

    At the same time, each guard recruited six thousand cavalry, which were reorganized by the Ming and Chu states and adopted a rotation system. Every three years, Mongolia would rotate the cavalry of the six guards to go to Nanyang to guard all parties. At the same time, there were six  The Ming Dynasty's Mongolian cavalry will be garrisoned in Liaodong and other places in the Ming Dynasty. As for the defense of Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty will be responsible for it. The Ming army will set up guard posts, build fortresses, and build towns in various Mongolian guards.

    This is actually a replica of the Nanyang Reorganization. The strongest warriors in Mongolia must join the Guards when they reach adulthood. Their food and salary are provided by the Ming Dynasty and Chu State, but they will also go far away to a completely unfamiliar environment.

    In a strange environment and saying goodbye to their familiar hometown, it is impossible for them to cause chaos. They cannot speak the same language as the local natives, and even their eating habits are different. Their food, drink and supplies come from the Ming Dynasty and Chu State. This is  This makes them have to obey orders.

    In fact, before this, the Ming Dynasty had carried out relevant policies towards the Mongols, and the most successful one was the Duoyan Sanwei. However, due to the limitations of the conditions at the time, it was impossible to implement such a policy on a large scale.

    But things are different now. The convenience of transportation allows armies to be deployed thousands of miles away more easily than before. The abundant treasuries of both the Ming Dynasty and Chu State are enough to support large-scale cavalry.

    The most important thing is that in Liu Chengfeng's plan, the Ming army will also penetrate deep into the grassland and build towns and fortresses within a radius of a hundred miles.  In the past, Ming Dynasty definitely did not have such a foundation and financial resources to carry out such a huge project. One of the biggest constraints was revenue.

    In the past, the construction of fortresses and military towns was purely for military purposes. This was the problem. There was no military benefit. The Ming Dynasty could not afford it in the past. But now it is very different. Not only can it afford it,  And Liu Chengfeng is expected to bring huge benefits.

    Nowadays, both the Ming and Chu states have a huge demand for horses and wool. Horses can be used for transportation, and wool can be used for textiles. However, horses and sheep in the Ming and Chu states have very few production areas. Chu state has only one Nanzhou.  It can be used, but the transportation cost in Nanzhou is relatively high, and it is still far from being able to fill this demand. But Mongolia is different. It is a natural pasture. Once the Han people are allowed to enter, it can generate huge profits.

    Therefore, Liu Chengfeng¡¯s conditions are clearly stated, the most important of which is the exchange of needs and the elimination of boundaries.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But the elimination of borders is purely for purpose. In the past, the Han people were used to farming and were not adapted to herding.  The reason why you are not adaptable is not just because of your physical constitution. The main problem lies in organization. Without anyone to organize, it is simply a joke to go herding alone. If you go to the desert with dozens of people, let alone herding, it will not take you long.  In just a few months, he will be eaten until not even the dregs are left.  In the grassland, after all, the law of the jungle is still the law of the jungle. There are no laws or rules here, only fists. Whoever has a strong fist can eat it.

    But it is different now, because in Nanzhou, there is already a precedent. The merchants took the lead and first rented a large grazing land in a certain place. After obtaining the grazing rights, they would recruit a large number of people, including not only horse herders, but also  A considerable number of guards and merchants provided production materials, and then a large number of people poured in as hired workers. At the same time, there were towns where the Ming army was stationed at regular intervals. Not only could they interact with the troops in the towns,  Sooner or later, these towns will become a trading place for caravans, ranchers and Mongolian herdsmen. With transactions, more people will be attracted. These people need food, clothing, housing and transportation, and more commercial activities will appear.  , will attract more and more merchants. If merchants want to engage in commercial activities, they must hire a large number of laborers. But for ordinary people, as long as someone pays them wages and allows them to leave the customs and go to the desert, as long as the price  Exceeding your own expectations will not be a difficult thing.

    The Ming Dynasty had a lot of manpower and merchants, and coupled with the huge demand for wool and horses, within a few years, this place would be occupied by a large number of Han people. Over time, the number of Han people would far exceed that of the Mongols, and the Mongols  There is no need to worry about their livelihood. Their bounden duty is to join the army. When they reach adulthood, they will be incorporated into the guards to guard the Ming Dynasty and the Chu Kingdom.

      To put it more clearly, this actually means that the Mongols are included in a large division of labor system. The Mongolians make a living by herding, but from now on, they, like the military households of the Ming Dynasty, have become professional workers from generation to generation.  Soldiers have become the targets of recruitment. At the same time, large-scale grazing by the original tribes will gradually be replaced by merchant pastures.

    As for the Mongolian nobles, the preferential treatment should be given, but it was only limited to the nobles of Southeast Asian countries. They did not have the right to control the guards, but they were enshrined by the Ming Dynasty and given certain privileges.

    Li Ruofan, on the other hand, was granted the title of queen by imperial edict. She was hereditary and enjoyed the political rights of a vassal king.

    In a sense, this so-called peace treaty is beneficial to the Mongols. The Mongolian nomads are good at looting and war, so they can take advantage of their battle formations. In addition, although they have a large number of  horses and sheep, but for the Mongols these things were of no use except for food, but when they fell into the hands of the Han people, it was completely different. The mutton could be eaten, the wool could be woven, and the horns could be used as medicine.  and only a small part of these huge benefits need to be given back to the Mongols. The improvement of the Mongolian life is by no means a little bit, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry will never be lower than that of the new army. The Mongolians are born to be the most powerful.  Excellent warrior.

    However, such a contract also completely ruined the ambitions of the Mongols. From now on, they will no longer be an independent existence. They are just vassals, just like the Cossacks in the Russian Empire. They can only be vassals to this bloated and huge empire.  The empire opens up territories and expands its territory, and lives by relying on or receiving rewards.

    Li Ruofan read every word, her face turned blue and white. She was such a smart person. Of course she could deeply understand the power of this thing. After a long time, she raised her eyes and said: "Your Highness's heart is too big."  Some, what if I don¡¯t agree?¡±

    Liu Chengfeng sighed and said: "If you don't agree, you will all die here. At this time, the desert is empty, and the Ming Dynasty will retaliate. I will personally supervise the army and lead an army of 200,000 into the desert to sweep away all the  In the pasture, between the Han and Mongolians, you and I are sworn enemies, and I will deal with you the same way you and your people deal with the enemy until I kill you all!"

    " Either be my friend or my enemy. My friends must rely on my breath and be my minions. My enemies must die.  This intention is already domineering enough, but sometimes, domineering is very useful, at least for Li Ruofan and her tribe, who have always been very domineering, it is most effective.

    Li Ruofan's body trembled and he bit his lip in silence. The Han people were ten to a hundred times more numerous than the Mongols. Once the Han people were allowed to enter the desert, build towns, and station troops, and then let the Han merchants go deep into the desert to establish pastures, it wouldn't take many years for them to leave.  That place was definitely the territory of the Ming Dynasty. By nodding her head, it was equivalent to burying all her former glory and current ambitions in exchange for the favor and mercy of the Celestial Empire.

    But nowit seems that there is no better way.

    She smiled slightly and said: "Even if I agree, my people may not be willing to agree. After all, your conditions are really unacceptable."

    Liu Chengfeng was more straightforward than her: "This is easy to solve. I just need your consent. As for those who disagree, they can't see the sun tomorrow. I never care about the opinions of dead people. Tomorrow, you  Bring the nobles here, and I will make them all surrender and serve."

    Li Ruofan originally just wanted to use this as an excuse, but Liu Chengfeng's words gave her no chance to refuse. She sighed, looked deeply at Liu Chengfeng, and said: "You have said so much, these things are not important to Daming."  It¡¯s good, but has it ever done you any good? I know who you are, and you are definitely not someone who abandons private life for the sake of public service. Don¡¯t you think you have any plans for yourself at all?¡±

    Liu Chengfeng smiled and said with his hands behind his back: "This is not something you have to consider. Also, tomorrow, I will send a team of troops and horses to greet His Majesty the Emperor. You must let them go tomorrow, understand? If you don't let them go, then your  Let the whole clan prepare to be buried with you. That's all I have to say. You must think about it again. I will give you one night to think about it. I hope you can understand the current affairs as before and stop doing stupid things.  "

    Li Ruofan looked at him faintly, sighed, and said: "The stupidest thing I did was to meet you. Okay, can your highness let me go back now?"

    Liu Chengfeng smiled, stretched out her hand, and raised her chin
