Looking through the past dynasties, the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty is now probably at the forefront.

However, upon careful reflection, we find that such changes only occurred in a few short years after the Ming Dynasty was canonized.

Such a terrifying natural king still controls the most powerful dynasty in the world. To fight against him is to seek death.

Now that I think about it, Elbek was still a little scared. If his minister, the Minister of War, had not caught the King of Yan, Zhu Di, in a few years, the Northern Yuan Dynasty would have fallen apart under the plan of the Ming Taisun.

In the past half year or so, Elbek has felt exhausted both physically and mentally, struggling to survive.

Fortunately, the current grandson of the Ming Dynasty has the intention to cooperate. This is probably the best news that Elbek has received since he came to the throne.

Zhu Ying thought for a while and said, "I know the situation in Beiyuan relatively well."

"In fact, for Beiyuan, the biggest problem is that it limits the population and economic development in all aspects."

"To put it simply, what looks like a huge grassland is actually like a bird in a cage."

"To the north is a bitter and cold land. Life is even more miserable than it is now. There is no room for development at all."

"It goes without saying that going to the south, my current soldiers at the border of Ming Dynasty, I think Khan knows very well how much price they have to pay. Even those who fight against the autumn wind, few of them dare to get close now."

"Going to West Wara and East Chagatai Khanate, the two forces are intertwined. Although Beiyuan is stronger than any of them now, once it passes, it will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the two."

"The land of Liaodong to the east is a land of barren mountains and harsh waters, and there are even Jurchen tribes. Although they are few in number, they are extremely tough, and fighting them will not be of much use."

"Looking at it this way, the southeast, northwest, and four directions are like barriers, locking the seemingly powerful Bei Yuan here."

"Khan, what I said is right."

Upon hearing this question, Elbek could only nod helplessly.

This is Beiyuan’s biggest dilemma right now.

The grassland itself cannot nurture the powerful Bei Yuan, and the Bei Yuan, which is in decline, is even more unable to conquer other forces. It is a mess internally.

Zhu Ying turned her head slightly, looked at Elbek seriously, and said slowly: "The Ming Dynasty has money, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty has soldiers."

"If I say that I am willing to spend money to ask Beiyuan to send troops to help me conquer the world, what does the Khan want?"

At this point, Zhu Ying finally revealed his purpose.

That's right, he just wants to develop Beiyuan into a country similar to mercenaries.

Judging from the current situation, this is possible.

If this can be achieved, then Beiyuan will not be a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

After gradual penetration, Beiyuan will slowly integrate into the Ming Dynasty's system.

In the development of civilization, the advanced civilization will have an extremely strong attraction to the backward civilization.

There is no comparison in some things. When the two parties compare, various aspects such as benefits, treatment, living environment, etc. will have a huge impact on the weaker party.

To put it simply, would the cavalry on the grassland be willing to return to the grassland after experiencing the prosperity of following the Ming Dynasty?

Come to think of it, most of them don't want to.

Among them, there is a very critical point, that is, the Mongolian culture is very weak and does not have much advantages in itself. Together with the current Northern Yuan, it is the former Mongolian Yuan.

In today's Northern Yuan Dynasty, many Mongolians have been missing their former lives in the Central Plains.

Even the children born later on the grasslands will listen to their father or mother talk about the beautiful memories of life in the Central Plains.

The difference between barbarism and civilization is really like a chasm in today's world.

Elbek frowned. He did not expect that Zhu Ying actually wanted to borrow troops from Beiyuan.

Is the Ming Dynasty short of soldiers?

The Ming Dynasty had two million soldiers, how could it think highly of his more than 100,000 cavalry?

If a large number of cavalry were loaned out, wouldn't Beiyuan be in danger?

The tribe here is already ready to make a move, how can we suppress it in the future?

"I don't quite understand what Taisun means. Could you please explain it in detail?"

After hesitating for a moment, Elbek did not directly deny it, but asked again.

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Bei Yuan now has many tribes and their troops are in chaos."

"Although our Ming Dynasty has enough troops, the territory it guards is too vast, and it is extremely difficult to expand to the outside world."

"I intend to form a joint team of Beiyuan and Ming Dynasty. The cavalry of Beiyuan, coupled with the infantry and firearms of Ming Dynasty, will be almost crushing for many small countries."

"I also know Khan's worries, but Khan has forgotten one thing. When it is profitable, there is no need to send troops by himself. Those tribes will naturally choose to seek a way out, as long as Khan can guarantee them that in their youth

After Zhuang goes out, he can protect the safety of the tribe."

"At the same time, the Khan can also collect an appropriate part of the tax from those tribal cavalry who go out to fight and receive rewards. In this way, it will not only better maintain the stability of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but also give the tribe a new way out."

"For most tribes, they are more concerned about how to live. I can promise the Khan that as long as the tribe is willing to send troops, we can advance a part of the money and food in advance and settle the settlement when we return."

"The cavalry who died in battle also received generous pensions."

Hearing these words, Elbek was greatly moved.

What he has always been most worried about is the impact of various tribes on Bei Yuan.

As the former overlord of the grasslands, Beiyuan actually had a strong acclimatization after being launched from the Central Plains.

Beiyuan, which seems to be a huge force, is actually riddled with holes in the lower-level institutions.

And Elbek himself was not much of a hero, and he only felt overwhelmed by the many annoying things.

Now that there is such a good way in front of you, there is nothing worth hesitating about.

"Okay, this is a good method. They will definitely be willing to borrow troops. By then, I, Beiyuan, will be able to stabilize."

"As long as Taisun can do this and solve the problem of food for our people in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, we in the Northern Yuan Dynasty can also be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties forever in the Ming Dynasty."

Elbek laughed heartily and said in a very comfortable mood.

This can be considered as a solution to his urgent need. Moreover, if he follows this path, Beiyuan will have real dominance over the grassland.

Of course, he also knew that Ming Dynasty was going to use his Beiyuan cavalry to charge, but what did it matter?

Could the situation get any worse than it is now?

As for the aspects of civilized assimilation planned by Zhu Ying, they have basically touched upon Elbek’s intellectual blind spots.

Let alone Elbek, even in today's world, no matter how talented and learned the Ming Dynasty is, there is no concept of civilized assimilation. The export of Chinese culture in the past was not an active spread, but the passive spread of the surrounding small countries.

Just absorb it.

Seeing Elbek's excitement, Zhu Ying immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "To be honest with the Khan, I have a small request here. I wonder if the Khan can agree to it."

Elbek smiled and said, "My grandson, please speak frankly."

Zhu Yingdao: "In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there are many Han ministers. I know that they do not respect the Khan. Many of them have close contacts with Prince Hal and have conflicts with the position of the Khan."

"The Mongolian nobles are dissatisfied with the fact that the Han ministers occupy high positions. Can the Khan hand over all these Han ministers to me for disposal?"

Elbek frowned suddenly and said: "This is not good. Although they have some problems in various aspects, in any case, they have all served me Beiyuan, and most of them have made many achievements.

Credit.”

"If you say something like this, wouldn't it chill people's hearts?"

Zhu Ying nodded slightly.

Of course he knew that Elbek would not do this. He just raised a relatively high-level question first so that he could discuss the subsequent issues more easily.

"I was rude, but I can't stand these Han ministers."

"In this way, if I use some means to target them, if they ask the Khan to resign on their own, please ask the Khan to let them come over, and don't stop them by force."

He had refused once before, but now Zhu Ying had to settle for the next best thing. It seemed rude to refuse again.

After all, from the beginning of the negotiation to the present, Zhu Yingke has given Beiyuan a lot of benefits. On a deeper level, it has helped Beiyuan consolidate its dominance.

Elbek himself did not like those Han officials. The main reason was that they were not completely loyal to him, but more loyal to his younger brother Khaltaj. This made Elbek's heart

I have always been very unhappy.

Just for the sake of Beiyuan's overall situation, we can't touch them.

Now that we have the help of the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to care about them.

"Okay, if they leave on their own, of course I won't care."

"Thank you Khan."

The two looked at each other and smiled, extremely satisfied with the current negotiation.

As the negotiations progressed, the details were gradually finalized.

The two parties, who were once at war with each other, immediately became very good friends after this round of negotiations.

Among them, Han officials like Ou Anmin were the most embarrassed.

When the two forces are no longer hostile, their identities become somewhat eye-catching.

Moreover, after Zhu Ying's previous satire on them, some of the respect Qi Tai and others had for Ou Anmin was gone.
