The Ming army's senior officials intentionally showed off their own tricks and introduced the situation in Outer Mongolia to the Mongolians, as they knew them.

He said: "From the map, the entire Outer Mongolia is basically located on the Mongolian Plateau, with an average altitude, high terrain in the west and low terrain in the east..."

The mountains are mainly distributed in the central and western regions of Outer Mongolia, occupying one-half of its territory. In the south, there is a vast Gobi Desert.

Gobi, from Mongolian, is an original world-class word. It has the meaning of deserts, gravel deserts, arid places, desert grasslands, etc. It may be deserts, stone deserts, or water.

The strong sunshine and temperature difference cause the rocks exposed to the surface to collapse and break down repeatedly, forming debris. Under the action of the wind, fine sand and dust in the debris material on the flood plain are blown into the sky, and the dust is blown to areas thousands of miles away, forming the Loess Plateau; while those fine sands are carried by the wind to nearby, forming deserts. Gravels with relatively large particle sizes are left in place, forming the current Gobi Desert.

Moreover, this huge Gobi area spans north and south, divides Mongolia into southern desert and northern desert. The conditions in southern desert are far better than those in northern desert, and its climate is more mild. There are two major countries of the Hulunbuir Grassland and Hetao Plain as support, as well as the strong support from the central government nearby, which is comfortable!

The northern desert is in tragic, with cold in the north and dry in the south. This area is like a huge inland basin. In addition to lacking water, what is even more terrifying is the cold current from Siberia.

Such extremely cold and barren lands are not surprising, and there are many disasters and difficulties.

For nomadic peoples, the most severe things are "white disaster", "black disaster" and "yellow disaster". White disaster refers to heavy snow covering the grassland, the snow exceeds very deep, grazing cannot be carried out normally, and the pastoral areas are isolated from other places. If it is still cold at first, the snow melts and freezes, forming a layer of ice shell, and cattle and sheep cannot find food.

Black disasters are disasters caused by snowless winters compared to white disasters. Nothing seems to have happened, but they secretly lay the hidden danger of death. In winter, people and animals rely on snow to drink water. If black disasters occur, people and animals will lack water, and even epidemics will occur.

Even if the snow is thick, animals can still eat grass roots in the snow.

But if it doesn't snow, even if you survive the winter, you may not even have grass next spring.

The reason is actually easy to understand: auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and heavy snow is not a bad thing.

Yellow disasters are sandstorms. When they come, they cover the sky and the sun and carry a lot of sand and dust. In mild cases, they can cause respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases to be infected with, and in severe cases, they will cause death of a large number of livestock, scraping away fertile soil in farmland, seeds and seedlings. The thick sand and dust covering the leaves of plants will affect normal photosynthesis and cause the grass to wither.

...

Listening to the High Sect in the Great Living Buddha's tent, the situation in Outer Mongolia was introduced one by one, so that the Great Living Buddha, the Great Khan and the Chiefs felt that the backs were soaked. It seemed that the southerners knew their own situation very well!

If they had been resentful of three points before, there would be only one point left now.

Know yourself and your enemy. If others know you clearly, it will be easier to beat you up.

For example, after the black disaster on the Mongolian Plateau, they will definitely be able to fight the cavalry after sending troops.

After the black disaster, no grass will grow in the coming year. The Ming army attacked and the infantry exerted normal power, while the Mongolians were thin and it was difficult to run away.

It seems that Outer Mongolia is vast, but in fact, there are not many good places to live in, just those water sources, including rivers and lakes, and these goals are all on the map!

"This place is mainly based on animal business, and we should eat according to the weather." Ming Jun Gao Shen paused and said, "It's very backward!"

The Mongolians carried out traditional nomadic production and lived a life of living by water and grass. They migrated periodically within a vast grassland. They domesticated five animals, namely sheep, goats, horses, cows and camels, which were both property and the main source of food.

"The carrying capacity of a single grassland of Mongolians is very low. In this environment, they can only maintain sustainable development in a nomadic way, but it also means that multiple grasslands can maintain a tribe. If the population cannot be increased, it will be difficult to form a settled city." Gao Shen said, and used a teaching stick to knock out some locations on the map to make the Inner Mongolians feel cold in their hearts.

The Mongolians said that "grass-burning valleys" were the saying that they went to southerners to make money, and the flowers were not as good as they were.

It is impolite to come but not come. The southerners have the saying of "burning grasslands", which means that the southerners go to the Mongolian grasslands to set fire.

Whether the Central Plains dynasty is enterprising depends on whether the army dares to set fire on the Mongol grassland.

Now it seems that the Ming army is ready and can find out clearly in the ground. Everyone is head-on. As long as the Ming army shows the mental attitude of "one is enough to make money, two are profitable", the Mongolians will definitely give in.

Because they can't afford it!

In fact, the Great Living Buddha and the Great Khan saw the Ming army's attitude of fighting and fighting, but they were timid.

One more reason is that the same clan is more terrifying than the enemy!

Once you fight hard with the enemy to the end, it is often not the enemy who gives you the last blow, but the same tribe.

If you lose to the enemy, you will still have a glimmer of chance. If you lose to the same clan, the upper class will die and the lower class will become slaves, and the prospects will be extremely terrible.

"Outer Mongolia can initially walk on two legs. The first path is to implement grain self-sufficiency, and the second path is to develop the forage economy!" Gao Shen gave a suggestion on behalf of Ming Jun.

"The planting industry must be developed!" Gao Shen said.

"We can grow wheat, potatoes, hay, a small amount of oil crops, as well as fruits and vegetables. In fact, our empire's Ministry of Revenue has long conducted experiments and verifications and has prepared a lot of seeds for use." Gao Shen said with a casual stroke of the teaching stick on the map, and it is always located in the water sources such as rivers and lakes.

“… Due to the severe cold restrictions, crops in Outer Mongolia must be strictly restricted to sowing in mid-May and harvested in September, so as to increase the unit yield as much as possible…”

"On the basis of food self-sufficiency, vigorously develop animal husbandry and earn silver dollars through animal husbandry!" Gao Shen pointed out, talking about some ways to make money by animal husbandry, such as selling livestock, air-dried meat and cheese industries.

"In order to support the industrial chain of Outer Mongolia, the court not only did not collect taxes, but also provided tax refunds and subsidies!" Gao Shen explained.

...

After Gao Guan finished speaking of the imperial court's strategy to Outer Mongolia, Gan Hui personally made an additional speech and said: "We Chinese people pay attention to being hardworking and getting rich, not stealing or robbing."

When the Mongolians heard the faces changed!

"We Chinese also pay attention to self-reliance and develop our own initiative, and do not wait or rely on it." Gan Hui said this, and the Mongolians' expressions changed again.

"The court has a large amount of support for Outer Mongolia, which is to support the horse and give it a ride, but the Mongolians themselves must work hard!" Gan Hui warned.

He smiled and asked the Mongolians, "What do you think?"

The three great knights smiled and said, "It's so good!"

The Great Living Buddha proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Good, good, every peck and drink, there are fixed numbers. General Gan said so!"
