Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Chang Shuai happens to be in charge of Shuntian Mansion at this time, so let him personally lead the troops to reprimand King Shunyi. Chang Shuai's prestige is enough to intimidate his troops."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Chang Yuchun has a bad temper. He can cause trouble even if nothing happens. Let him reprimand King Shunyi. Do you want to fight Mongolia again?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "The softer you are, the more likely it is to fuel the arrogance of the various Mongolian tribes. As long as you are tough enough, you will not hesitate to force King Shunyi to rebel."
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to say anything, but just listened silently. Zhu Biao continued: "My Ming Dynasty can still afford a small-scale battle. The Mongolian ministries launched King Shunyi to test it, but they did not support him as king. He rebelled."
The other ministries will never join, but will help us suppress King Shunyi together."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. Quan Xu had not wasted his time on the grassland for so long. The details of the various Mongolian ministries had long been in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. They now have the courage to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty, but they have not yet the courage to start a war.
.
If King Shunyi really dared to rebel, they would be even more panicked than the Ming Dynasty, because they knew that once the Ming Dynasty was forced to raise troops to conquer the grasslands, it would not be possible to return by killing King Shunyi's troops, but they would definitely have to plunder them.
So as to weaken their strength.
In fact, both sides have been compromising with each other, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have crowned them kings. But now that Mongolia was the first to test, Ming must also reciprocate and remind the other party not to forget their own situation.
Chang Yuchun is not a candidate for peace talks, but he is definitely a good candidate for stirring up trouble. How King Shunyi responds to Ming's temptation will make it clear what the various Mongolian ministries are thinking.
If King Shunyi couldn't bear the humiliation and launched an army to rebel, and instead of responding, the Mongolian tribes helped the Ming Dynasty suppress it, then the rift between them would be even greater, and it would not be easy to talk about rebellion in the future.
If you endure it, you will naturally be in peace. Mongolia cannot take advantage and can only support itself. Winter is coming soon. Everything on the grassland is exhausted. There are hungry herdsmen in each tribe. It is inevitable that they will consume each other.
of.
Mongolia is in urgent need of a war now. There is less food and more people, so the extra people can only be consumed. The question is whether to fight with the Ming Dynasty or with our own people. Otherwise, the conflict cannot be transferred. Mongolia does not have a prince to take his own money and food.
The habit of providing relief to herdsmen.
This has been the case for nomadic people throughout the ages. Raising cattle and sheep is very risky. A disease may take them all away. Without the cattle and sheep, only the wives, children and children are left waiting for food. What should we do?
Of course, they are going to rob. If there is no unified king, then the tribes will rob each other, kill all your people and take away all the supplies. If there is a unified tribe, then organize an army to invade the Central Plains Dynasty.
Naturally, it’s good to grab the food. Go back happily after taking the food. It doesn’t matter if you can’t grab it. A large number of herdsmen will be consumed, and the remaining food will be enough. Anyway, that’s how the herdsmen on the grassland are. Just like grass, it grows again in the spring breeze.
.
I'm afraid some people are still impatiently waiting for King Shunyi to rebel. Maybe King Shunyi is the meat they selected and are now waiting to be served to the table. After all, King Shunyi's army is extremely rich in resources. If one person falls, everyone will be full.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son walked to the familiar tree. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If a vassal country asks to marry a princess in the future, will you agree?"
Zhu Biao was stunned. The Ming Dynasty did not make peace, pay indemnities, cede territory, or pay tribute. This was so familiar to later generations, so he had never thought about it.
However, Zhu Biao actually did not have any extreme views on marriage. The reason why the Ming Dynasty reached this point was entirely because the Song Dynasty was too humiliating.
First of all, getting married is definitely not as simple as giving a woman in exchange for a few years of peace. If giving a woman to a foreign tribe can prevent the foreign tribes from coming south to plunder, then this is not a sacrifice. This is simply a fucking miracle.
Marriage is essentially a political method, and it is not as simple as a political marriage. It is a process of accepting a younger brother in the Central Empire. Rather than marrying a princess, a marriage is essentially a son-in-law. Of course, the Song Dynasty was an exception.
Whether the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong enough, they still chose to make peace. Even excluding the times when they were forced to make peace, they would still choose to make peace at their peak.
That's because marriage is a low-cost and high-yield high-level political method to install agents for foreign cores, and weak countries are not qualified to play this trick.
The Song Dynasty did extremely poorly because they did not subdue the Liao Kingdom with force. The two sides formed a kingdom of brothers. After the Jurchens broke the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, they abducted many royal eldest daughters, but these princesses were all reduced to slaves, let alone
The qualifications were raised and we got a kiss.
The Yuan Dynasty did the best in this regard. There was a period of time in the history of Goryeo called the Yuan Intervention Period. The princesses of the Yuan Dynasty enjoyed a high status and power in Goryeo, and even turned against the guests.
The princesses arranged for many courtiers who came as dowries to control the political situation of Goryeo, and beat the King of Goryeo at every turn. King Chungxuan and King Chunghye were arrested and exiled by the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongolian princess surprisingly successfully domesticated the King of Korea.
Do Korea dare to say no? They don't dare. What are they afraid of? Afraid of a woman? No, they are afraid of the huge country behind the woman.
From then on, Goryeo had a long memory, even after North Korea was established. In history, Zhu Di mentioned twice that he wanted to get married, and he also wanted to marry the princess to the prince of North Korea, but he was politely rejected both times.
In the end, King Li Bangyuan of North Korea was forced to insist that his crown prince was married and refused to accept Princess Ming for fear of ending up like Goryeo.
From then on, Zhu Di lost face and never mentioned the matter of marrying a princess. In the end, the princesses were all married to their own country. In fact, there was not much difference. It was not the princess's turn to choose a husband.
.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "My son has no such intention. Sending a princess to marry him has fallen into the lower class. Besides, if you don't marry a princess, the princes will have to work harder and just marry some vassal princess."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "That's it, the third princess of the King of Korea is about to marry, and we are worried about how to arrange it."
The corner of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched. It was in vain that he had thought so much. It was just about marrying a woman. Zhu Biao suddenly felt like sacrificing himself for his country.
However, he didn't want to marry Princess Goryeo. After all, he didn't understand the language. He pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, you only have one son and one prince. Isn't the third child not engaged yet?"
Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands behind his back and said, "You can't do that, third child. Either you accept this princess or we accept it. If you want to implement your plan perfectly, you can only show sincerity."
Zhu Biao sighed. Yao Guangxiao and the others had already arrived in Goryeo. It seemed that things were going well. Otherwise, Goryeo would not have been in a hurry to send the princess over for marriage. He probably did not want to spit out the land of Liaodong.
Zhu Biao could only nod in agreement, and the two of them walked back to Kunning Palace. Zhu Biao led Chang Luohua to say goodbye. The couple walked to the East Palace. Zhu Biao did not expect that he was tricked by his father, and he was the one who ended up getting married.
!
Zhu Biao now doubts that King Shunyi really asked the court to marry the princess?
