In fact, Zhu Cixi could win over the Mongolian tribes first and completely isolate the Jiannu. After destroying the Jiannu in the future, he could gradually control the other Mongolian tribes.
This is the wisest strategy.
But Zhu Cixiang obviously didn't want to cause so much trouble. Now that the Tumote tribe was causing him quite a lot of trouble, he naturally didn't want to accept the superficial surrender of other tribes.
What's more, in his opinion, there is no need for any division and disintegration. After the two anti-queens in the country are pacified, hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of chariots will directly crush them. Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish.
Let’s see, in this era, who can stop us?
Perhaps only distance can temporarily block the Ming army's conquest.
The Jiannu army retreated, covered by 100,000 cavalry, and Zhu Cixiang did not bother to pursue it, because at this moment, Zhu Cixiang's thoughts were no longer on Jiannu, but on the Tumote troops.
The Tumote tribe lost nearly half of their warriors this time, which was a huge blow. If Tugel was not his uncle, I am afraid that the leaders of the tribes would no longer favor Tugel, the King of Shunyi.
Therefore, he planned to take this opportunity to completely solve the problem of the Tumut tribe, and at the same time set an example for other Mongolian tribes to solve the problem in the future.
It is definitely not possible to continue to seek temporary stability as the Han Dynasty did to the grassland tribes in the past, and it is also unrealistic to directly send Han officials to manage it.
After much thought, Zhu Cixi had no choice but to refer to the methods of the previous Qing Dynasty to deal with these nomadic tribes.
Of course, we cannot copy it. After all, the situation in the Ming Dynasty now is somewhat different from that in the Qing Dynasty at that time.
First of all, the Qing Dynasty had a small population and had to rely on the Mongols to check and balance the Han people. Therefore, it gave the Mongols many privileges. Even the queens of the past dynasties were from the Mongolian ethnic group. In order to prevent the Mongols from growing, they also restricted their population development.
First of all, with the population base of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to restrict the population development of the nomadic tribes on the grasslands, as long as they continue to deepen exchanges and assimilation.
Therefore, he not only did not intend to limit the population on the grasslands, but also planned to increase their fertility, help them develop the population, and then let them continue to move west and north, opening up and expanding the territory for the Ming Dynasty and the Han people, and protecting the territory.
After all, the survival ability of nomadic tribes is indeed much stronger than that of the Han people. If hundreds of thousands of Han people are moved to settle in places like Central Asia, the cost will be too high and the conditions will be too difficult.
"My lord, Jiannu has retreated. My eldest brother and others asked me to ask you for instructions, when can they go back?"
While Zhu Cixiang was thinking about how to deal with the Tumote tribe, Ran Duoer walked in.
"Oh? There is food and drink here. Is your brother in such a hurry?"
Zhu Cixiang pulled her into his arms and asked with some confusion, but he said in his heart, how could it be so easy to leave?
Randall said in a depressed mood: "This time the tribe lost so many warriors and did not get any spoils. The leaders of each tribe are very dissatisfied with Big Brother and are clamoring to go back. Big Brother has nothing to do."
"Does your eldest brother want to ask me for some rewards to stabilize his authority in the clan?"
Zhu Cixiang didn't know Tugel's plan.
"Well, sir, please help me. Otherwise, after I go back, the tribes will no longer listen to me."
Randall nodded, then begged.
Zhu Cixiang looked at her seriously and asked: "Duo'er, my husband wants to ask you, if one day there is a conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Tumote tribe, will you side with my husband or your elder brother?"
"ah!"
"Ms. sir, aren't we allies? How do you... do you want to..."
Ran Duo'er was immediately frightened and looked at Zhu Cixi with some trembling, at a loss.
Obviously, although Ran Duo'er was simple-minded, she was not stupid. She knew that her husband was probably going to attack Tumut's men.
"Yes, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, and for the Han people and the Tumut people to live in harmony forever in the future, this so-called alliance cannot be achieved now, and we must find another way."
Zhu Cixi nodded, and then said slowly.
"In what way?" Randall asked nervously, feeling that her husband's embrace was not very comfortable either.
"The strength of the Tumote Department is too strong. Although it suffered heavy losses this time, it will regain its strength in a few years, and its strength will only become stronger in the future. Maybe it can easily pull out more than ten or two hundred thousand soldiers.
Xianzhishi, people's desires and ambitions will grow with their strength. Now everyone is in peace, but in the future as the Tumote tribe becomes stronger, who can say for sure? What's more, even if your eldest brother has no ambition,
What about their descendants?
Therefore, in order to solve the problem once and for all, the Tumut Department must be split up and accept the actual control of the court. Of course, the court does not really control everything. In fact, as long as it abides by some court laws, it is still very free.
"
"Then...what should my elder brother do?"
"He, King Shunyi, the leader of the Tumote Tribe, will definitely not be able to stay in the Tumute Tribe any longer, but don't worry, for your sake I will not treat him badly in any case, and I will build a building for him in the capital.
A mansion allows him to dream of all the glory and wealth in the future, and to taste all the delicacies in the world."
Zhu Cixi said with a smile.
Landuoer was relieved when she saw that she was just bringing her eldest brother to the capital to enjoy his life instead of killing him. As for the future of the Tumut tribe, she didn't care much as long as her people were not massacred.
"Duo'er, you haven't answered my husband yet. Are you on my husband's side or on your elder brother's side?" Zhu Cixiang asked while raising and lowering his hands, making her blush.
"Duo'er naturally wants to face our husband..." Ran Duo'er lowered her head and whispered.
"I know my husband's love for you was not in vain."
Zhu Cixi said with a loving look on his face, and then told her his plan.
He planned to ask Randall to invite Tugel to visit the capital, and then bring his family over.
Then all the Tumut tribes in the Hetao area were moved to the Liaohe area, and then divided into dozens of tribes and resettled. These tribal leaders were given titles. The 20,000 warriors who came this time were also given official titles, and pastures were allocated.
Leaders must not attack or annex each other. Leaders cannot directly deal with warriors who have official status, but must report them to the court.
"My lord, why do you want to move them all here? Can't you just move some of them? Does your lord plan to move the Han people to open up wasteland and farm in the Hetao area?"
When Randu'er heard that the entire Tumut tribe was going to be relocated, she was also surprised and her mouth grew wide.
"You misunderstood. The reason why my husband moved all the Tumut tribe out of the Hetao area was because he didn't want them to graze and destroy the ecology. How could he move the Han people to open up wasteland and farm?
In order for future generations to no longer suffer from the flooding of the Yellow River, not only the Hetao area, but also the Han people in northern Shaanxi and eastern Shanxi will be relocated elsewhere in the future."
Zhu Cixiang explained that with the current technical means, it is almost impossible to build a dam to solve the flooding and sediment problems of the Yellow River, so we can only draw fire from the bottom and use the most direct and simple way, which is to divert the Yellow River into the river.
The vast area near the zigzag was protected, the population moved out, and trees were planted.
In this way, he believes that the water in the Yellow River will be completely clear within twenty years. If the Yellow River is diverted from the Bohai Sea to the sea, the flooding of the Yellow River will be fundamentally solved. At least it will not be like now, which happens every now and then.
Henan is flooded.
As the heartland of Henan, it has always been the province with the largest population and land. Once a disaster hits Henan, the victims will attack the surrounding provinces, causing turmoil in the world.
Ran Duo'er obviously couldn't understand that the herding society was related to the floods in the Yellow River, and she looked confused.
