Zhu Yihai has now recovered northern Shaanxi and Gansu, as well as half of Shanxi and Hebei. Next, he will naturally start to contact Monan Mongolia, especially the Ordos tribe that bears the brunt of occupying the Hetao.

First, continue to trade with the Ordos Mongolians through Shanxi merchants. Not only cannot the market be closed, but they must also increase tea-horse and other trade, making the Mongolians inseparable from the Ming Dynasty's economy.

Open the way for the economy, and then talk about abandoning the Qing Dynasty and attaching importance to the Ming Dynasty.

Step by step, the ultimate goal must be to take back the entire Hetao area, which is the foundation of ZTE's founding. The Central Plains cannot lose the Hetao, just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem.

"Send someone to Wu Sangui to deliver the good news of the recovery of Shanxi. Let Wu Sangui block the Lanwu Road for me. Ask Wu Sangui again if he can hold it. If he can't hold it, let him know immediately. I will personally lead the troops into the pass.

Come and fight the Tartars."

From the Jiajing period when they gave up on regaining the Hetao, to the present hundred years, the Mongols have continued to fight for it, and finally firmly occupied it, and settled the Babaishi dedicated to Genghis Khan in the Hetao area.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From the Four Dry Ears worshiping Genghis Khan to the Ming Dynasty, it evolved into the Babai Room to worship Genghis Khan. The tribe where the Babai Room is located is therefore called Ordos.

From the King of Jin who was in charge of Genghis Khan's sacrifices to Jinong, the leader of the Ordos tribe, the sacrifices were initially held in Mobei. Later, according to legend, Genghis Khan wanted to spend his later years in Hetao and was even buried there. Therefore, the sacrifice site was later moved to Hetao, Ordos.

The tribe and its leader Jinong were also stationed here.

The Ordos people were originally a tribe in Mongolia that guarded many palaces. They were the guards who guarded Genghis Khan's mausoleum. They moved to Hetao during the Chenghua period. When Datin Khan was the emperor, they were one of the six Ordos households in Mongolia.

Ten years ago, Ordos was annexed to the Qing Dynasty, and each was granted the title of Zhasak, with a total of six banners. The six banners under his command formed a league of their own, called the Yin Kezhao League.

In the Qing Dynasty, Bo'er Jiejin and Eluochen were conferred the title of Jinong of Ordos. He was also appointed as Zhasak, the Ordos Left Wing Middle Banner of the Yin Kezhao League, the prince of Jinduoluo County, and the leader of the Yin Kezhao League.

"Send a mission to Hetao to formally announce the imperial edict to Efuchen. I canonize him as a farmer of the Ordos tribe and the king of Jiuyuan County in the Ming Dynasty. He will also serve as the protector of the Yin Kezhao League and continue to lead the Ordos Left Wing Center Banner.

Granted the title of Commander-in-Chief. I propose marriage to Ephoschen, hoping to bring her a daughter into the palace as a concubine."

Zhu Yihai felt that the alliance flag system used by the Manchu Tatars to manage the Mongols was not bad and could be learned and used.

However, he planned to change the leader of the alliance to the governor, the banner Zasak to the governor, each alliance to the governor's mansion, and each banner to the governor's mansion. In the future, the name can be Chineseized, and he can also marry them, plus mutual trade

Regarding trade, we need to bring them over first and then talk about it.

In fact, in the Hetao and Trilateral conflicts in the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia's request for tribute and the Ming Dynasty's refusal to pay tribute were important causes of the conflict. Mongolia was a nomadic tribe and relied heavily on the Ming Dynasty for its economy, not only tea, cloth, but even salt and iron.

They relied on the Ming Dynasty, and some of their nomadic skins, hair, cattle and horses needed to be traded to the Ming Dynasty in order to make greater profits. Otherwise, Mongolian nomadism would be very difficult, especially for the upper-class Mongolian nobles. Through tribute trade, they

Can get more benefits.

However, the Ming Dynasty often used military conquests and economic blockades to deal with the Mongols. Later, it divided the Mongols and only allowed some Mongolian tribes to conduct tribute trade. However, the border markets were small in size, so not only was smuggling serious, but the Mongols often went south to plunder.

.

Later, in the nine-border defense line established by the Ming Dynasty, such as the three sides to guard against the Hetao, those border troops were poorly paid and relied on driving horses, breaking nests and robbing Mongolian tribes to make extra money. Therefore, when the Mongols asked for tribute, the soldiers on the three sides were most opposed.

If they were allowed to pay tribute, they could not plunder legitimately, so the servants of the generals on the three sides often deliberately provoked border provocations.

The troubles in the Ming Dynasty never went away.

These things are a bit unbelievable to Zhu Yihai. Although the economic blockade is helpful in fighting the Mongols, it is a double-edged sword. In fact, blind blockade will only be counterproductive. It is better to use trade to fight economic war with the Mongols. As long as it is done well

, economic weapons will be more effective than swords, guns, bows and arrows.

You can even use the money earned from trade with Mongolia to strengthen border defense, arm the army, and reward and subsidize soldiers. This is far better than the Ming Dynasty who built the Great Wall, abandoned the Loop, and deployed 200,000 troops on three sides all year round, which cost countless money.

On the contrary, it was often invaded and plundered by the Mongols from the south.

The court was not allowed to pay tribute, but border smuggling was still serious, and the de facto blockade was not completed. Instead, the court lost a lot of tax revenue, profits, etc. It was just as stupid as the sea ban.

He is now willing to do the opposite. As long as E Fuchen is aware of current affairs, Zhu Yihai is willing to trade with him comprehensively. Even if he is unwilling to betray the Qing Dynasty for a while, Zhu Yihai is willing to start trade with them.

Open up trade, expand border markets, and even restore border inns, forts, etc. through the One Belt and One Road Initiative. We can also use Shanxi merchants to enter the Hetao grassland caravans, go deep into the tribes, find out the true and false, and even bribe and win over the tribal leaders.

wait.

In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols were no longer the same Mongolian people as before. After the rise of the Hou Jin Dynasty, they were already a being that everyone could defeat.

Zhu Yihai can now win over the Mongols with trade and seals. In the name of tribute, the Mongolian tribes want to trade with each other, so they can pay tribute and ask for seals. The court takes advantage of trade to officially canonize the Mongolian tribes.

.

For the sake of trade, by accepting canonization, the Mongols got the trade they had always wanted, and the Ming Dynasty was also able to cut off the Jurchen allies and incorporate Mongolia into its own celestial dynasty system.

During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, relations with Mongolia eased, and there was an attempt to establish a tribute and mutual trade relationship with both Mongolian wings. However, only Anda Khan accepted the title of King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty and established a tribute relationship, while the Tuman Khan on the left wing, that is,

Zasaktu Khan of Transkarkha did not accept it.

Of course, the Longqing Peace Treaty itself was indeed an alliance under the city walls. The emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have always been ashamed of it. The Mongols themselves also believed that the Ming Emperor was afraid of them, so they paid tribute to seek peace. Later, the Ming Dynasty simply praised and trampled on each other, divide and rule, and supported them.

One suppresses the other.

The Ming Dynasty did not burn wastelands or destroy nests to drive horses, while Anda Khan did not go south to the border with the invaders. After the peace negotiation, there was indeed peace for several decades.

Now Zhu Yihai is willing to give Ordos a more comprehensive trade market to untie them from the Manchu chariot and appease them so that there will be no conflict first.

Mutual benefit can also be gained through trade. You can sell tea, cloth, porcelain, salt, iron, tobacco, wine, etc. in exchange for furs, cattle and horses, and you can also collect taxes. This business will never be a loss. If you can achieve a marriage and marriage, there will naturally be more benefits and a more stable relationship.

As for the recovery of the Hetao area in the future, that will only happen after the Jianlu are killed and even the three guards of Jianzhou are recovered. That is still early. There is no need to treat Ordos as a mortal enemy now. There is no need to make enemies on all sides.

"If E Fuchen wants to marry a Ming Dynasty woman, I can agree to it."

The Ming Dynasty had an ancestral motto of not making peace, not paying tribute, and not ceding territory, but Zhu Yihai felt that marriage between the two parties was not a bad thing. He did not need to marry a princess. He could recruit maids from the palace who volunteered to go to Mongolia to become princesses or wives of the duke, and adopt them as adopted daughters.

, just give her the title of princess and send her to get married.

It is not a bad thing for an ordinary palace servant to go to the grassland to become a tribe's princess, or even become the emperor's adopted daughter and princess, as long as it is voluntary, and many people can only dream of it.

Moxi and Mobei Mongolia are now on friendly terms with the Ming Dynasty, and have paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and even made peace with the Ming Dynasty. Monan Mongolia can definitely be appeased and win over.

Be polite first and then fight. Unless you are really stubborn, there is no need to make enemies everywhere.

Zhu Yihai is a pragmatist.

Even if it is the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, he will not take it seriously. Anyway, he has already violated many ancestral rules, and he does not care if he violates one more.
