Even if it is far away, it will be punished!

Without strength, saying it will only make people laugh, and Altan's head is in front of him. This is an ironclad fact, and no one dares to question it.

After learning that Altan was killed, Yikehatun lit a curtain in his bedroom and left with the fire. When Dacheng Taiji arrived, only a charred and hunched body was left.

The matter would not end just because Yikehatun died. Dacheng Taiji arrested everyone around him and tortured and forced confessions. Finally, he asked. It turned out that Amudai from the Tuman tribe obtained the plan for the Ming army to march through Yikehatun. The Tuman tribe was suppressed by Altan for decades, and both sides had a great hatred. The Khan of Tumen naturally wanted to see Altan in trouble.

But his lips were lost and his teeth were cold. Altan was completely finished, and his next target would fall on their heads. Therefore, the Khan of Tumen ordered Amudai to send 800 soldiers to attack Ma Fang and his son, and even if Altan was released, he wanted to leave a thorn for the Ming Dynasty.

After the truth was revealed, Dacheng Taiji immediately reported the situation to Tang Yi and ordered Tumote, Yongshao, Ordos and other troops to concentrate their troops to attack the Tumans.

It’s true that the three departments actually gathered more than 30,000 cavalrymen, which was quite powerful.

Facing the army's obscurity, the Khan of Tumen did not take it seriously. On the day of Altan's prosperity, he could still save his life, let alone Dacheng Taiji, a furry child, and a group of mobs.

What he was really afraid of was the powerful Ming Dynasty behind him. In the battle of Tokto, Altan died, which shocked Tumen Khan strongly.

The second assistant Tang Yi even shouted that even if he was far away, he would be punished. Could it be that the next goal of the Ming Dynasty was himself?

Tumen Khan thought about it over and over again. He sent an envoy to express his willingness to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and accept the canonization. At the same time, he blamed all the charges on Amudai, saying that he was bribed by Yikehatun and knew nothing about what he did. He also tied up Amudai and gave it to the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehe, this Tumen is not slow to sweat, and knows that he has cut off his tail to survive." Hu Zongxian rubbed his hands and said with a smug smile: "Let's just send a large army to destroy him. As far as I know, Liaodong is a large piece of fat meat, and the fat and oily fields there are better than Hetao."

After he said this, the generals present were ready to go, their eyes shining. Even as steady as Qi Jiguang and as old as Tang Kekuan could not sit still. As long as Tang Yi nodded, they would lead troops to fight and cut off Tumen's head.

It’s not that they are active, but the rewards for this re-contract are so generous. All the meritorious soldiers have obtained land and the capital to settle down. As long as they fight a few more battles and are lucky enough to die, their family business will flourish all at once, and at least they can catch up with the middle-class landlords.

Who doesn’t want to get rich and who doesn’t want to live a good life can show that the army is eager to fight and wants to go to the battlefield immediately.

Tang Yi saw it and was both happy and worried. He needed an enterprising army, but he also knew that fighting would lead to death.

At present, the Ming Dynasty is far from the point of fighting whoever you want, and some things can be achieved without war. Why take that risk!

"Do you guys know how much money the court spent in total when he went to the grassland this time?"

When everyone heard Tang Yi’s question, they were stunned for a moment.

Qi Jiguang frowned and tentatively said, "Gei, this time, he used 100,000 people and 300,000 civilians and countless livestock, and unprecedented scale. Although it was only the battle between Dabansheng and Tokto, it must have consumed a lot. Without 5 million taels, I'm afraid I can't get it."

Ma Fang scratched her head and said in disbelief: "I'm catching up with half of the year, there's not that much, right?" The others couldn't explain clearly.

Tang Yi sighed, "This time the imperial court allocated three million taels of military expenses, plus the annual expenses of nine sides, one hundred and fifty taels, and issued seven million taels of war bonds. To be honest, the cabinet now has only 300,000 taels of silver left."

suck!

The audience was filled with breathtaking sounds. They knew they spent a lot of money, but no one expected that there was so much, which was more than 10 million taels, which cost all the annual income of the Ming Dynasty!

"This ten million taels do not include the brothers who are paying for the death and wounded, and the construction of cities and troops on the grassland. In the future, they will build water diversion channels, dig deep wells, and build roads... All aspects are completed. Without the investment of 30 million taels, it will definitely not be successful."

This is why Tang Yi presided over the cabinet. He had a way to make money, and had a good way to mobilize troops and had proper measures. In just two battles, he destroyed Altan's main force.

If we had really followed Zeng Xian and Xia Yan's strategy back then, once we fell into a protracted and hard battle, the thin family of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not be able to bear it, and financial collapse would be inevitable.

Ideas and actual operations are completely different things, just like an uncle who likes little girls draws a 200,000-kilometer railway on the map while slapping his forehead. As a result, he spent his whole life without a single mile building. Decades later, someone worked hard to build more than 100,000 kilometers, but he was still ridiculed, without the courage of an uncle.

Things in the world are really speechless...

After hearing Tang Yi's account, all the generals lowered their heads silently. Fighting war is just burning money. When they truly understood this sentence, they would never dare to shout and kill easily.

"I tell you all this, it is not that I don't want to fight, but that I don't fight useless wars. For example, Altan has been invading for decades and cannot surrender, nor can I make peace. Only by completely erasing it, no matter how much the price I pay, our cabinet is willing to bear it. Some of them can be fought or not, so don't do it casually. At present, the grassland tribes are complicated and fight each other, and we can completely use their contradictions to make a big difference, divide and disintegrate, let them restrain and consume each other, and ensure the interests of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland. If you swallow whales and eat, you must learn to use your brain, learn to use means other than war, do your best, and finally get the best of your efforts."

Tang Yi's earnest teachings were heard by all the generals present. In fact, Tang Yi was able to win a great victory this time, and he also put his kung fu outside the war.

He first joined hands with the Shanxi merchants, then encouraged the three guards of Duoyan to surrender, creating momentum, forcing Altan to escape from Qinghai to avoid disaster, and then decisively sent troops to Dabansheng to support Dacheng Taiji, and with the minimum cost, he cut off Altan's retreat.

Dacheng Taiji surrendered, and prompted the Wei Lat tribe and Altan to resolve the issue.

By the time the Ming army and Altan fought decisively, they were already surrounded by enemies and were in turmoil. Only then could the Ming army's thunder strike work decisively.

Everyone is smart. When they carefully savor the taste, they feel that Tang Yi's methods are more and more clever. They are not limited to gains and losses on the battlefield, but are in mind. They seem to have to learn more in the future.

After accepting the Tang family secret book, the big guy analyzed the situation of the Tuman tribe.

Compared to Altan, the Tuman tribe is much more honest, at least on the surface, and there are many conflicts between Dacheng Taiji and the Tuman tribe. The Tuman tribe hopes to restore the majesty of the Mongolian Khan, while Dacheng Taiji wants to restore the Tumote tribe to reach the height of Altan.

If there is a conflict, you can use it.

You can fully support Dacheng Taiji and deal with Tumen. Why do you have to take action yourself!

Is this enough? Tang Yi decided to allocate a piece of grassland from the Ordos tribe to the Qilagut tribe, rewarding them for their outstanding contributions to Altan.

The situation was fun now. The Tuman tribe in the east, the Tumote tribe in the middle, and the Chilagute tribe in the west formed a situation of mutual restraint.

The three sides fought to survive, and they all rushed to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty.

"In the next two or three years, the grassland will be relatively peaceful. What we need to do is to digest the land we have, establish a complete defense system, organize armed immigration. Establish cargo stations, purchase wool and textile wool, open the market, change the economic form of the grassland, and carry out harmless integration of various departments..."

The so-called harmless fusion is Tang Yi's reflection on the failure of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After the Han and Tang Dynasties defeated the enemy, they accepted the support of the Xiongnu and Turkic tribes and directly allocated them to land without changing their way of survival and customs. The Tang Dynasty even hired Hu people to serve as soldiers, which eventually led to eternal regrets.

Tang Yi believed that killing could not solve the problem, and it still needed to integrate, but the integration must be dominated by the Ming Dynasty. After he had a chat with Gao Yi, he decided to set up ten official schools in Guihua City and among the various ministries to absorb Mongolian teenagers, enter the school, read and read, read the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and learn business and business.

After completing his studies, he joined various tribes to act as civil servants, responsible for management, doing business, and even participated in the imperial examination. During the examination, three to five places were allocated to them specifically.

"The sage of Lao Tzu said that it is weak in one's heart, weak in one's ambition, and strong in one's bones. Only by promoting education and prosper can one's long-term stability." Gao Yi sighed and said, "The second auxiliary master is very broad. These ten official schools may be more than 100,000 soldiers in the future!"

The old man always forgets to step on the military officer, and Tang Yi does not blame him, and smiles: "Does Gaobutang think there are any difficulties?"

"Yes, the first thing that is to bear is that there is not enough teachers, and the Ministry of Etiquette has limited funds. Can I allocate more money in the cabinet?"

Tang Yi laughed dryly, "Gaobutang, it's really not to be hiding. I am a complete poor man now and still have a lot of debts. For the teacher's problem, I went back to the Imperial College to find some people. As for the funds, I went to Zhang Yunxia and asked them to pay for the Shanxi merchants. After fighting, they got all the benefits. They had to pay for this little money!"

Tang Yi did not tell any lies. This time, the Shanxi merchants did make a fortune.

They obtained nearly 10 million acres of pastures and fields from Hetao alone, and they made more money from other departments. Even with the cheapest algorithm, these lands were worth 20 million taels. Not only did they fill in the 12 million taels and war bonds they had previously lent to the court, but they still had a lot of money.

In addition, what made Shanxi merchants most pleased was that all loans were used in silver dollars.

Shanxi merchant Hesheng Yuanbiao took the opportunity to issue 10 million silver dollars, using silver nine copper one, each yuan equals one tael of silver. The front is a Guan Gong pattern and the back is a big elm tree common in Shanxi.

It is called "Guanyuan" in the market. Because of its excellent workmanship and convenient transactions, it became popular in northern provinces once it was launched. Heshengyuan Piao has become the second largest bank in the world after transportation. Shanxi merchants were so happy that they couldn't talk. (To be continued.)
