"You have to be like asking for help! What qualifications do these guys who are inferior to beasts have to be my ministers?"

Zhu Youxiao talked about this in the Political Affairs Hall, and his tone was not very good.

"Accepting his tribute and tribute is to compromise. On the surface, decent, but no one has any internal qualities! How can I let the Ming Dynasty suffer a secret loss because of some false reputation? How can false decency be regarded as the dignity of the country! If the gains and losses of war are only calculated on paper, it would be even more unreasonable. Zhao Song was very rich and willing to buy peace with money. Why is the land smaller and smaller, and the number of people who can protect them will be less and less, and in the end, they will be destroyed by the people he abandoned. I will not do such a thing that is not worthy of the name!"

Zhu Youxiao continued to speak, and waved his sleeves suddenly. In a flash, it seemed like a dragon roar, and the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall were silent.

After a while, Yuan Keli said: "They are also sympathetic to the border people, but out of public aspirations, and they are not really willing to be so decent. Please calm your anger."

Zhu Youxiao did not deny Yuan Keli's words, but also commented on these ministers of the peace and sect, saying: "These people not only want to restore the tribute system, but also want to disarmament! In their eyes, war is the weapon, and courage is the rebellion of morality. The stronger the army, the more uneasy they will be!"

Yuan Keli smiled bitterly, thinking that His Majesty, his emperor, was indeed not that easy to fool.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuan Keli at this time and continued: "This matter is strong and has a strong resistance. The existing strategy remains unchanged. Use war to promote peace. It is better to spend money to make guns and cannons than to give them to the enemy directly. Now firearms have long become the main shooting weapon of our Ming Dynasty, and flintlock guns that do not use fuses have appeared. Therefore, the ban on bows and arrows can be relaxed and the border people can have bows and arrows to defend themselves!"

"In addition, elite troops are drawn from the Guards and the Brave Guards, forming several troops, and going out to war, they spend money and food, and they have to show their posture. Others can't bear this tone, which will give them benefits! As for how to fight, it is the affairs of the Privy Council, and how to mobilize military pay is also yours!"

"Yes! Before this, I have begun to plan how to use military forces against the Tatars. There are two disadvantages to our Ming Dynasty:

First, the number of young and strong people placed in the army to continue fighting is indeed misconstructed;

Second, the Tatars were nomadic people, and they had no fixed place to live and were difficult to wipe out all of them;

In the view of the ministers, the first point is that the Tatars can be used to defeat the Tatars, and the border people of the Ming Dynasty can be killed after leaving the pass, mainly middle and upper-class Tatars aristocrats. They are savage and bloodthirsty, and they will not truly assimilate and become our Ming Dynasty's obedient people;

However, there are also many ordinary Tatars among the Tatars. They had already migrated collectively due to survival difficulties, or fled to the Ming Dynasty to be the submissive people. The court could not accept the Tatar nobles' tribute and surrender, but could accept those Tatars who were willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty to be the submissive people, and use their skillful cavalry to form more cavalry to fight against the Tatars!

As for the second point, since the Tatars were wiped out, according to their pasture land, the strategic purpose is no longer to annihilate the living forces of the barbarians, but to change the land and return the current to the land, cut all the pasture land we occupied into pieces with barbed wire, wooden pile fences, brick walls, etc., build cities and send officials to various pasture areas, and divide pasture land for the herdsmen in each pasture area, and draw some of the young and strong people to continue to occupy other pasture areas, so that there is no need to draw the young and strong people from the whole country to guard a wider territory."

Yuan Keli responded and made his own suggestions.

Zhu Youxiao naturally agreed after hearing this, and said: "Changing the land to the outside world is education and rescue. All those who are willing to be with the people and receive education will be rescued. Whether those who are actively with the people or arrested by the army and the local government will first gather together to start mining outside the pass or participate in other projects, and concentrate on learning Chinese language. Those who meet the customs of the Han people will be given pasture land and exempted from labor service. As for taxes, you should make it clear that it should not be high. You should be attractive to ordinary Tatar herders who are willing to be withdrew, and then recruit soldiers in pastoral areas with high degree of sinicization."

"I remember!"

...

Therefore, after Emperor Zhu Youxiao made a tough statement, the Ming Dynasty decided to send troops.

Except for those who were disabled and proactively applied for demobilization, the officers and soldiers of the Guards and the Brave Guards were not disarmament, but were transferred out and sent to the border town.

According to the strategic arrangements formulated by the Privy Council, this time, the Ming Dynasty's official army still did not aim at annihilated the living forces of the Tatars, but based on the characteristics of the Tatars being nomadic people, and mainly based on their pasture land.

The Ming Dynasty has not attacked the Tatars on a large scale since Yongle, and once the Zhengyi Dynasty lost.

Therefore, after more than two hundred years of reproduction and survival, the Tatars have already grown in population, and there are many ordinary herders among the Tatars.

When Anguo Duke Lu Xiangsheng led the Guards to send troops to Daning and occupied the pastoral attachment in the Mammonshan area, the Guards' nights failed to collect and met a large number of Tatar herders in this area.

The Tatars were serfdom.

These Tatar herders were equivalent to slaves of the Tatar nobles, and were under the control of the cavalry under these Tatar nobles.

A centurion of the tribe named Edonila also learned from the scout that the Ming army had arrived, and quickly took his Tatar herders to leave the pastoral area in this area, and waited for an opportunity to ambush him when the guards pursued him.

However, the Guards did not attack as before after occupying the pastoral area. Instead, they did not advance as before, but instead drove wooden stakes and wired up.

In addition, a team of Tatars who were gathered together in advance with the Ming Guards were also asked to build cities for the Ming Guards.

These Tatars in the inner circle were all ordinary Tatars who fled to the Ming Dynasty by the border towns. Their original tribes were also the Ming Dynasty who escaped because they were exploited too hard and the harsh climate could not continue to live.

Therefore, for these Tatars who are attached, you can give them a bite of food, let them do anything, or even kill their own people.

Not to mention letting them work or something.

And there are many Tatars.

Because the economic conditions of the Ming Dynasty were too good, almost every day, many ordinary Tatars who sneaked into the city walls could be caught at the gates of each border of the Great Wall.

Now the Ming Dynasty court has taken the initiative to accept it, so these Tatars are naturally more active, and there will undoubtedly be more Tatars.

Therefore, after the Guards occupied the pastures in the Mamonsan area, it was easy for them to recruit a group of Tatars to graz.

These Tatars who came to Ma Mengshan began to be organized by Ming officials sent here to participate in various engineering constructions, and changed their customs and learned Chinese.

Not only Ma Mengshan, but also as the Guards and the Brave Guards marched everywhere, they have occupied more and more pastoral areas as the new ruling area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

The Guards and the Brave Guards, whose entire outer periphery were broken into pieces, had a large number of new pastoral areas outside the pass, using this as the depth of the border town’s defense.

But when some Tatar Rangers wanted to attack these pastoral areas again, they had to attack them first.

However, all pastoral areas were strictly guarded and were formal Ming official troops stationed, so these cavalry had to be discouraged.
