Compared to conquering, Xu Jingchang prefers to shape!
Through commercial procurement, the grassland was reshaped... The Ming Dynasty needed cattle for farming, so they raised cattle, and if they needed meat, they raised sheep.
The Ming Dynasty's needs were huge, so they had to stop nomadic herding and settle down, plant grass, produce feed, and raise more cattle and sheep to meet the Ming Dynasty's needs...
In this kind of exchange, the Ming Dynasty would not treat the grassland herders badly, and would even let them live a better life. They would have comfortable houses to live in, nice clothes to wear, drink milk tea, eat mutton, and cook hot pot.
He plays the piano, is good at singing and dancing, and is versatile.
Of course, this kind of happy thing will not be so easy.
In the grassland tribes, there are so many royal nobles and tribal leaders, why should they be your good darlings of the Ming Dynasty?
Especially if they find that the tribesmen under their command are accustomed to buying and selling, indulge in raising cattle and sheep, and forget about bowing, horse riding, and shooting, they will definitely be angry.
They will definitely not sit back and watch the tigers and wolves under their command turn into a herd of useless cattle and sheep... They will overturn the table, become ruthless, regroup their troops, and go south to plunder on a large scale.
At worst, they will take the initiative to cut off trade and give up some of their comfortable life.
"I can see that if we want to maintain the prosperity of Tianjin and maintain the business you mentioned, we must have strong soldiers and horses who can control the situation, right?" Zhu Di's eyes flickered and he stared at Xu Jingchang.
Xu Jingchang also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, no matter how nice the words are or how exquisite the design is, as long as you have enough force, you can overturn the table. But if the table is overturned, you will not be able to eat."
Force is the foundation of everything, but force cannot be used lightly.
Because you are not sure whether force can really work... This sounds a bit contradictory, but it is not.
On the battlefield throughout the ages, it has never been the case that the party with stronger force will definitely win.
Reality is not a chess game. There are too many variables in it.
Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. Zhu Di sent Duke Cheng Zhu Neng to lead troops to deal with Annan. As a result, Zhu Neng was infected with miasma on the way and died directly... He had to hand over the task of conquering Annan to Zhang Fu.
Fortunately, Zhang Fu was capable and tough, and he finally defeated Annan.
But another thing was more tragic... Zhu Di asked Qiu Fu to lead the army to conquer the desert, but Qiu Fu died in the battle in confusion.
The dignified Duke Jingnan, the strongest thug, capsized in the sewer... It was Qiu Fu who died in battle, and Zhu Di had to lead his own troops and continue the northern expedition into the desert.
After all, even Qiu Fu can't do it, and only he, the emperor, can be sure of victory.
So don't use force easily. Once someone sees through your actions, the consequences will be disastrous.
As long as you don't take action, you will always be a martial arts master. If you end up being knocked down by someone with three punches, you will only become a laughing stock forever.
Regarding the Annan matter, Xu Jingchang opposed Zhu Neng going south and instead asked Zhang Fu to go... He was young and not well-known, so even if he died in battle, it would have no impact.
Moreover, Xu Jingchang did not allow him to go south rashly. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the internal conflicts within the Hu Dynasty and let them fight first.
Only when they are completely ripe can you go down the mountain to pick peaches.
Treating the south like this, Xu Jingchang has similar ideas when it comes to northern Xinjiang.
First, get the Mongols to do business, attack from all aspects, and weaken the enemy as much as possible. On your own side, be prepared... The war must still be fought, but you must wait until everything is safe to fight.
"Xu Jingchang, I don't really like what you are saying." Zhu Di said simply: "I am a warrior. As a warrior, we must not wait for everything to be ready before we can use force. We must win at any time! I
I have been fighting Jianwen for four years, and from the beginning to the end, I have always defeated the strong with the weak. I am not completely sure of any battle, but I have won every battle."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Of course what your Majesty said is right, but you don't want the enemy to cause trouble again, right?"
"What if Jingnan comes again?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I will still win."
Zhu Zhanji thought about it seriously, but was not impressed by the emperor's momentum at all. Instead, he said seriously: "If Jingnan is defeated again, you will be Emperor Jianwen."
"you!"
Zhu Di was furious and looked both ways, "Hurry up and hold this kid down, I'm going to spank him!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui both turned their heads and pretended not to see it, they were not going to help!
Zhu Zhanji still spoke plausibly, "Grandpa Huang, you are the emperor now, and you are sitting on the nine states. If you come to Jingnan once, isn't it Jianwen? I'm not wrong!"
"You think I'm reluctant to hit you, right?" Zhu Di raised his fist, but he didn't do it.
There is nothing I can do, this eldest grandson is really a thorn in my side, and the child is right.
During the Jingnan period, Zhu Di was always at a disadvantage and had to take risks again and again. He went to the battlefield to fight for his life and escaped death many times...
Now that the situation of strength and weakness has reversed, Zhu Di has become the one with the most advantage.
What he needs to do now is not to fight desperately to win.
Rather, he must be careful not to make mistakes and avoid others copying his success.
Zhu Di pondered for a long time, and suddenly said with gritted teeth: "After all, you are blocking my use of troops! I worked hard to get to Peiping and overcame all difficulties, but in the end you just didn't give me a chance to use my troops. Could it be that I would lose to those people in Arutai?
? Ridiculous!”
Looking at the furious Zhu Di, Xu Jingchang had to admit that the attributes of General Zhengbei could no longer be sealed.
From Yingtian to Peiping, Zhu Di was looking forward to fighting a war, but Xu Jingchang did not give him the opportunity to use troops at all. Even the development of Peiping in the future fell on business, and force was only a guarantee.
This made Zhu Di extremely angry. Is there no use for all my abilities?
"Why don't you let me conquer Arutai first and destroy the Tatars, and then we can talk about trade?"
"no!"
Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu almost said in unison, "Your Majesty (Father) must not use troops, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."
Zhu Di was stunned again, why, still can't use troops?
Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, we are doing business with the herdsmen. We want them to raise more cattle and sheep, and let them sign contracts and cooperate with us... This kind of thing, there is no one who has the final say to help implement it and basically do it."
It won’t work. Otherwise, how long will it take to negotiate with each herdsman?”
Zhu Gaoxu also said: "Father, business requires rules and order. If the Mongolian tribes are dispersed through the use of troops, the land will be reduced to nothing, and there will be no one to make the decision. This business will not be possible."
"Um!"
Zhu Di breathed heavily and stared at his son and his most trusted minister.
"You guys are really good!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "Have you made up your mind not to let me have fun?"
Xu Jingchang paused for a moment and could only bow and said: "Your Majesty, we really can't use our troops casually, but we can't let the Mongols underestimate us... If Your Majesty is willing, I suggest that we hold a school review meeting."
"Reading and hunting?" Zhu Di asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
"I am thinking that if we can review the three armies in Peiping and invite the Tatar tribes to come and watch... we can also hold a riding and archery competition to show off the Ming Dynasty's military force and wealth and scare the opponent. This will have the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.
." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "By the way, I can also display the goods and expand trade. I can also take the opportunity to get to know the details of the Mongols. See how good they are. Even if you want to use troops, you must know yourself and the enemy first!"
How did you say something?
Sports events are wars in peaceful times.
As early as the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongols had the habit of holding the Naadam Conference, which was meant for entertainment.
The conference usually has three major events, namely horse racing, wrestling and archery.
If you can win in the conference, you will be widely respected and become a great hero admired by everyone.
Zhu Di was holding back his anger and wanted to have a big fight.
After messing around, it turned into a riding and shooting competition, which made Zhu Di extremely disappointed.
But no matter what, having a game is better than having nothing at all.
Zhu Di weighed it again and again, but could only nod.
"I agree, but this must be done in a lively manner. Also, if the Tatar tribes are unwilling to come and do not give me this face, then I will have no choice but to go there personally."
Zhu Di said, still a little hopeful, it's best to make them more stubborn so as to give me a chance to use my troops.
Compared to Zhu Di who was neither embarrassed nor reluctant, Zhu Zhanji was more energetic.
"Cousin, cousin... there's a cricket-fighting competition, cricket-fighting competition!"
"You big-headed devil!" Zhu Gaosui couldn't help it, "Do you want everyone in the world to know that the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty lost his ambition by playing with things?"
Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes, "Who said this is just to play with things to lose one's ambition? Mongolians don't fight crickets? Maybe I can even play with the Mongolian princes! Then we won't have to fight, and we will decide the outcome by fighting crickets.
, isn’t it pretty good?”
This is a good idea and deserves praise.
Zhu Gaoxu on the side rubbed his fists for a while, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "I want to end!"
Zhu Gaosui was shocked, "Second brother, what are you doing down here? Fighting crickets?"
"You're the one fighting crickets!" Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "I'm proficient in riding, shooting, and wrestling, so why can't I go out and compete? When the time comes, I will defeat the Mongolian warriors and earn face for our Ming Dynasty."
The end of the King of Han!
This immediately raised expectations.
Zhu Gaosui blinked his eyes, and he suddenly discovered a business opportunity.
"Cousin, if I seize this opportunity to publicize this matter to the world, do you think my Di newspaper will sell well?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Didn't you let people place bets on who I would marry? Now that the opportunity has come, you won't be honest all of a sudden, right?"
Zhu Gaosui was stunned and screamed for a long time, "Good guy, here's your chance to make a fortune!"
In the end, even Qi King Zhu Shu became more energetic and said, "Dong Guo Gong, what do you think I can do? Please give me some advice!"
Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "King Qi, isn't this right in front of you? The competition is in Tianjin. Now you go to prepare the racecourse, build buildings, and build restaurants and restaurants. In addition, the docks have also been expanded to welcome people from all over the world.
Merchants, come here to watch the ceremony and watch the fun. Tickets will be charged for the game, so just sit back and count the money!"
After hearing this, Zhu Shu's blood was really boiling, his heart was excited, and his hands were trembling... "You can demonstrate national power, make money, and frighten Mongolia. Duke Ding, you are truly a genius."
