    "In the past, it was called a national war, but now it is called a bandit suppression, because the situation has changed" After the great victory in Jinzhou, Zhu Yongxing issued an imperial edict. From now on, they will no longer be called the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they will not be called the Later Jin Dynasty. They will all be called the Tartar rebels.  Bandit as a title.  ¡î¡ú In other words, the current Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer qualified to be regarded as a country, and Jianzhou Jurchen was originally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, so it is justifiable to regard it as a rebellion.  At the same time, this also expresses Ming's firm attitude and determination.  There can be ceasefires and negotiations between countries, but there is no reason to compromise with local rebellions within the country, which must be suppressed and eradicated.  At first it was called a national war, because it was a fear of oneself, to boost the morale of the people, and to carry out this war with the greatest vigilance and ability; now it is called a bandit suppression, which means that the war in Liaodong has become a local peace.  Destroy the rebellion.  The change in concept showed the confidence of the Ming Dynasty and also gave the people peace of mind.  At the same time, it also gave the clearest attitude to those forces that were swinging between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as the Mongolian tribes.  There is no peace, no negotiation, and even Jianzhou will no longer be a safe haven for the Tartars. The only option is to surrender or be completely wiped out.  Those who adhere to the Qing Dynasty are rebellious. Those who do not adhere to the Qing Dynasty but have a warm and ambiguous attitude will not be treated kindly by the Ming Dynasty.  The war in Liaodong is ongoing. The Ming Dynasty is not yet able to carry out direct military attacks on the Mongolian tribes that are dependent on the Tartars, but it has a helper - the rebel Qing armed forces headed by the Chahar tribe.  Each has its own purpose and uses each other. This is the relationship between the Ming court and the Qing rebels, but now they still cooperate very harmoniously.  The Ming court not only granted the Chahar tribe preferential trade and concessions in border markets, but also dispatched thousands of dragoons to help them fight, dealing a heavy blow to the Mongolian tribes such as the Tumote East Banner and the Horqin Zuo Banner attached to the Qing Dynasty.  At the same time, the Chahar tribe used their own and captured cattle, sheep and livestock to exchange supplies from the Ming court, so that they could continue to fight and plunder.  These materials can also be used to win over other Mongolian tribes.  This is a win-win situation at present. The Ming court obtained the cattle, horses and livestock it lacked, and recruited an armed force to fight against the Tartars; the Chahar tribe gradually expanded its power and seized large tracts of pasture, which also made more and more people  Many Mongolian tribes expressed their submission. ??????????? But there are concerns within the Ming court about such cooperation, and raising tigers is a recipe for danger.  This may be a quite apt description.  When the Tartars are destroyed, will there be another powerful Donglu group, and will there be another turbulent war?  Zhu Yongxing has his own opinion on this. In popular words, "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."  Although the Chahar tribe will become stronger, it has shortcomings that are difficult to overcome.  Compared with the Tartars, he may pose a threat, but to a degree that the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty can withstand.  standardization.  With institutionalization and powerful firepower, the Ming army will be able to crush all opponents and sweep away all famous historical generals.  And this is Zhu Yongxing¡¯s real capital and real reliance. He is not afraid of the Mongolian tribes, let alone Burni.  ¡°Advanced vanquished backwardness, civilization vanquished barbarism.  Although there are exceptions to this, the chances are still relatively small.  Nomads have inherent shortcomings.  As long as there are no problems in the Ming Dynasty, and the times and technology are changing in favor of the farming people, Zhu Yongxing does not think that there will be a unified hero like Genghis Khan on the grassland, nor does he think that Burni of the Chahar tribe has such outstanding abilities.  and wisdom.  Of course, the Ming court did not support Burni unconditionally and established border cities everywhere.  It also attracted and controlled other Mongolian tribes, forming a restraining and fettering force for the Chahar tribe.  There are many Mongolian tribes, which seem to occupy a very wide area and have great power, but they can never be unified.  This is a fatal weakness that makes it difficult to repeat the glory of Genghis Khan.  For the nomadic people, their life is not as comfortable as imagined.  Although they raise cattle and sheep, it does not mean that they can often eat meat.  In fact, their life is very busy and arduous. They spend all day grazing, milking, making cheese, shearing, tanning, and felting. They also collect livestock manure as fuel. In autumn, they have to cut pasture to store for the winter.  In addition, they also have to hunt, gather, and even engage in farming. They are busy, but they only have enough food.  Due to the single production, their ability to withstand disasters is very poor. Once black disasters and white disasters occur, famine is inevitable.  Therefore, they often used cattle and sheepskin felts, etc., to exchange items with the people in the Central Plains. Food was one of them, such as cloth, tea, salt, iron pots and other daily necessities, which they could not lack.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­. There are endless vehicles as far as the eye can see. In addition to food, there are also various commodities such as tea, cotton, silk, tobacco, cane sugar, iron nails, iron pots, porcelain bowls and porcelain plates.  There are also many local farmers who come to the market with their vehicles transporting vegetables and other supplies.  "The Donglu outside the Great Wall are lacking everything, well, except cattle, sheep and horses." An officer saidAt the top of the city, he murmured in a low voice, but the King of Jin next to him, Li Dingguo, heard him.  Although it¡¯s not all hits, it¡¯s almost the same.  Li Dingguo also felt the same way.  The great market transactions held twice a month were held outside Lanzhou City and were completely controlled by the Ming army.  Of course, the Ming army only maintained law and order and frightened Xiao Xiao.  You know, without the guarantee of force, the nomads still think that it is more cost-effective to rob.  It was still tentative at first, but the Ming army did not plunder, and the Ming merchants did not commit fraud. The fairness and safety of the transactions could be guaranteed, so more and more Mongolians passed the border inspections and received trading licenses.  , driving cattle and sheep to exchange for daily necessities.  The trading volume is constantly rising, and a large number of cattle, horses and livestock flow into the Ming Dynasty. This not only provides the Lanzhou Military Region with war horse resources, allowing the cavalry to continuously expand, but also enables inland farmers to gradually get rid of manual farming and greatly improve labor productivity.  And part of the profits earned by Ming Shang were directly transformed into the military expenses of the Lanzhou Military Region, turning into an ever-increasing amount of food in the warehouse and an ever-increasing amount of weapons and equipment.  Of course, the targets of the Lanzhou border market were the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai. They had no collusion with the Manchus in the first place, unlike accomplices like the Mongolian Mongols.  In border cities such as Datong and Zhangjiakou, the restrictions are much stricter and it is very difficult to obtain a trade permit.  Under the strict supervision of the government, no businessman dared to violate the regulations and trade with the Mongolian tribes privately, risking confiscation and exile.  The fate of the Eight Imperial Merchants and other profiteers is a lesson for them.  Jin King Li Dingguo looked at the large market gradually forming outside the city and let out a long breath.  In addition to market changes, the imperial court also has other policies. Is it really feasible to recruit cavalry and fight in different places?  ¡­¡­¡­¡­.(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
