"In the past, it was called a national war, but now it is called a bandit suppression. This is because the situation has changed..."
After the great victory in Jinzhou, Zhu Yongxing issued an imperial edict that from now on they would no longer be called the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Later Jin Dynasty, but would all be called the Tartar rebels.☆→
In other words, the current Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer qualified to be regarded as a country, and Jianzhou Jurchen was originally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. It is justifiable to regard it as a rebellion. At the same time, this also expresses the firm attitude and determination of the Ming Dynasty. The relationship between the country and the Qing Dynasty
Countries can cease war and negotiate, but there is no reason to compromise with local rebellions within the country, which must be suppressed and eradicated.
At first it was called a national war, because it was a fear of oneself, to boost the morale of the people, and to carry out this war with the greatest vigilance and ability; now it is called a bandit suppression, which means that the war in Liaodong has become a local peace.
The change in the concept of extinguishing rebellion showed the confidence of the Ming court and gave the people peace of mind. At the same time, it also gave the clearest attitude to those forces that were swinging between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as the Mongolian tribes.
Without peace, without negotiation, even Jianzhou will no longer be a safe haven for the Tartars. In addition to surrender, they will be completely wiped out. Those who adhere to the Qing Dynasty are rebels, and those who do not adhere to the Qing Dynasty and have a warm and ignorant attitude will not gain the favor of the Ming Dynasty.
Treat with kindness.
The war in Liaodong was ongoing. The Ming Dynasty could not carry out direct military attacks on the Mongolian tribes that were dependent on the Tartars, but it had a helper - the rebel Qing armed forces headed by the Chahar tribe. Each had their own purposes and used each other. The Ming court and the
The rebel Qing armed forces have such a relationship, but now they are still cooperating very harmoniously.
The Ming court not only granted the Chahar tribe preferential treatment and concessions for trade in border markets, but also dispatched thousands of dragoons to assist it in fighting, and dealt a heavy blow to the Mongolian tribes such as Tumote East Banner and Horqin Zuo Banner who had attached themselves to the Qing Dynasty. At the same time,
, the Chahar tribe used its own and captured cattle, sheep and livestock to exchange materials from the Ming court. It could not only continue to fight and plunder, but also use these materials to win over other Mongolian tribes.
This is a win-win situation at present. The Ming court obtained the cattle, horses and livestock it lacked, and recruited an armed force to fight against the Tartars; the Chahar tribe gradually expanded its power and seized large tracts of pasture, which also made more and more people
Many Mongolian tribes expressed their submission.
There are concerns within the Ming court about such cooperation. Feeding a tiger will lead to disaster. This may be a quite appropriate description. When the Tartars are destroyed, will there be a powerful Donglu group, and will there be another turmoil?
war?
Zhu Yongxing has his own opinion on this. In popular words, "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." Although the Chahar tribe will become stronger, it has insurmountable shortcomings. Compared with the Tartars,
, he may pose a threat, but to a degree that the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty can withstand. With standardization, institutionalization, and powerful firepower, the Ming army will be able to crush all opponents and sweep away all famous historical generals.
And this is Zhu Yongxing's real capital and real reliance. He is not afraid of the Mongolian tribes, let alone Burni.
Advancement defeats backwardness, and civilization defeats barbarism. Although there are exceptions to this, the chance is still relatively small. The nomads have inherent shortcomings. As long as there are no problems in the Ming Dynasty, and the times and technology are changing in favor of the farming people, Zhu Yongxing will not
He believed that a unified hero like Genghis Khan would appear on the grasslands, and he did not believe that Burni from the Chahar tribe had such outstanding abilities and wisdom.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not support Burni unconditionally. The establishment of various border cities also served to win over and control other Mongolian tribes, forming a restraining and fettering force for the Chahar tribe.
There are many Mongolian tribes, and they seem to occupy a very large area and have great power, but they can never be unified. This is a fatal weakness, making it difficult for them to repeat the glory of Genghis Khan.
For the nomadic people, their life is not as comfortable as they imagined. Although they raise cattle and sheep, it does not mean that they can often eat meat.
In fact, their life is very busy and difficult. They spend all day grazing, milking, cheese making, shearing, tanning, felting, and collecting livestock manure as fuel. In autumn, they have to cut pasture to store for the winter.
In addition, they also have to hunt, gather, and even engage in farming. They are busy, but they only have enough food to eat. Due to the single production, their ability to withstand disasters is very poor. Once black disasters and white disasters occur, famine will be inevitable.
avoid.
Therefore, they often used cattle and sheepskin felts, etc., to exchange items with the people of the Central Plains. Food was one of them, such as cloth, tea, salt, iron pots and other daily necessities, which they could not lack.
………….
As far as the eye can see, vehicles are meandering along. In addition to food, there are also various commodities such as tea, cotton, silk, tobacco, cane sugar, iron nails, iron pots, porcelain bowls and porcelain plates. There are also many local farmers, who use
Cars carrying vegetables and other goods came to the market for trade.
"The Donglu outside the wall lack everything, well, except for cattle, sheep and horses." An officer stood at the top of the city and muttered in a low voice, but the Jin King Li Dingguo next to him heard it.
Although it's not all hits, it's almost the same. Li Dingguo also feels the same way. The two major market transactions in January are completely controlled by the Ming army outside Lanzhou City. Of course, the Ming army only maintains law and order and intimidate Xiaoxiao. You know,
Without the protection of force, the nomads still believe that it is more cost-effective to rob.
It was still tentative at first, but the Ming army did not rob, and the Ming merchants did not commit fraud. The fairness and safety of the transactions could be guaranteed, so more and more Mongolians passed the border inspections and received trading licenses.
, driving cattle and sheep to exchange for daily necessities.
The transaction volume is constantly rising, and a large number of cattle, horses and livestock flow into the Ming Dynasty. This not only provides the Lanzhou Military Region with war horse resources, allowing the cavalry to continuously expand, but also enables inland farmers to gradually get rid of manual farming and greatly improve labor productivity. And the profits earned by Ming merchants
, and part of it was directly converted into the military expenses of the Lanzhou Military Region, becoming an ever-increasing amount of food in the warehouse, and an ever-increasing amount of weapons and equipment.
Of course, the targets of the Lanzhou border market are the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai. They have no collusion with the Manchus in the first place, unlike the accomplices such as the Mongolian Mongolia. If it is in the border cities of Datong, Zhangjiakou and other border markets, the restrictions are much stricter.
Getting a municipal license is quite difficult.
Under the strict supervision of the government, no businessman dared to violate the regulations and trade with the Mongolian tribes privately, risking confiscation and exile. The fate of profiteers such as the Eight Imperial Merchants was a lesson for them.
Jin King Li Dingguo looked at the large market gradually forming outside the city and let out a long breath. In addition to market changes, the imperial court also had other policies. Is it really feasible to recruit cavalry and fight in remote places?
