Chapter 1712: Expanding the Territory Zhu Houzhao made the final decision, and the Manchu Dynasty had no choice but to admit it silently.
Zhu Houzhao then looked at this Tuoba and said: "In this case, then you immediately repair a book, and let your father Khan take the people of the headquarters to the town, Qiqige wants to visit her father, how can Ye Chunqiu, as a husband, not accompany you, you will meet there." ” This request made Tuoba hesitate.
The entrance of the town is closer to Qinglong, where the Tatar iron cavalry was defeated, and since the Zhenguo Gong also went, then he will definitely bring a new army.
It's a matter of mutual trust.
If you want to win the trust of the Ming court and show that you are not cheating, then you must also show a little sincerity.
Since you are sincerely attached, how can you still be worried?
But then again, if he did, how could he be completely confident that the new army would not take this opportunity to exterminate the Tatars This is almost an unsolvable problem, but if you don't go, the consequences are obvious, after the battle of Zhenkou, Tuoba has used the lesson of blood to make Tuoba very clear that the Ming Dynasty already has the capital to kill the Tatars, at this time, the Tatars have no capital to negotiate the conditions at all.
After thinking about it, Tuoba said helplessly: "I will send a messenger to inform my father Khan." ” What decision did Father Khan make, of course, it was Father Khan's business, and he didn't say yes, but only promised to repair the book.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "In this case, let the matter be settled, since you have come to the capital, Chunqiu and your sister did not make the trip so quickly, so you can stay first." ” He glanced at Zhu Qing, and then said, "Retreat." ” After saying that, he stood up, but his eyes fell on Ye Chunqiu's body, and said, "Chunqiu, come with me." ” Zhu Houzhao's decision can be said to have a far-reaching impact on Ye Chunqiu.
He knew very well that Zhenyuan Kingdom originally existed as a small vassal state, on the surface, it seemed to be the same as Korea and Annam, but in fact, it only existed as a dependency of the Ming Dynasty.
To the north of Zhenyuanguo, it is Jinzhou, then Liaodong, to the south, it is Shanhaiguan and Guannei, to the east, it is the vast ocean, and only to the west, it is the vast grassland.
If this time, the Tatars escaped into the desert, the imperial court would inevitably begin to go deep into the desert and establish countless strongholds, and the entire Zhenyuan country would essentially be completely surrounded by the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
This town is far away, and it is naturally like the vast majority of clan vassal states, such as the land of King Ning of Nanchang, but it belongs to the country within a country.
But this decision this time is equivalent to releasing Zhenyuanguo, which is equivalent to completely assigning the entire desert to Zhenyuanguo, so that the space to exert his strength is too big.
Of course, this is not without benefits to the imperial court, because Guanwai is a place beyond the reach of the imperial court, even if it occupies this vast grassland, the ruling method of the imperial court is probably to constantly build cities, just like Liaodong, countless strongholds are arranged in the entire Liaodong, and then military households are assigned to garrison.
The manpower and material resources to be used in this way can be described as astronomical, not to mention, the imperial court has raised various border towns, and it is already beyond its means, if you have to add a desert, how many military horses will be needed But if the Tatar Ministry is ruled in the name of Ye Chunqiu's concubine Qiqige, the cost of this rule will be much less, and Zhenyuan Kingdom will be equivalent to becoming a city wall in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, there will be gains, as everyone is worried, if Zhenyuan Kingdom gains the entire desert, commanding hundreds of thousands of Tatars, and more and more Han herdsmen have become craftsmen in the future, will this become a hidden danger for the imperial court?
Zhu Houzhao is still determined to believe in Ye Chunqiu.
And the reason seems to be very simple, as he said to the ministers at the court meeting, those dynasties that have the art of the emperor and guard against others every day, and there are a few good endings Zhu Houzhao is righteous.
Ye Chunqiu was also struggling in his heart, he didn't know what the future would be, he was just grateful to Zhu Houzhao for his unconditional trust.
Ye Chunqiu followed Zhu Houzhao to the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao sat down, and said: "Chunqiu, what do you think?"
When he asked, of course, he was asking about the rule of the desert.
Ye Chunqiu thought for a while before he said, "What the younger brother actually wants, it's not the desert. ” "Hmm" Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Chunqiu puzzled, and said, "Why, you don't want it" Ye Chunqiu smiled and said: "How big the world is, just like the Francois people, they are tens of thousands of miles away from my Ming Dynasty, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty is just a corner, Your Majesty, the land in this world is too much, the younger brother thinks, Your Majesty just said that how can others snore under the couch, in fact, it is precisely because the kings of the past dynasties are too short-sighted, and it is precisely because of the shortness that they are worried about their own one-third of an acre, and they are afraid that the land and wealth in their hands will be touched, so they think about it day and night, is always afraid that someone will rob what is in his hands, which is essentially selfish.
But from another point of view, this big world, there is so much land to be explored, there are so many subjects to conquer, just look at these small profits in front of you, what's the point Your Majesty is the male lord, so Your Majesty has such a mind, and only then did he allow Qiqige's affairs, so the courtiers admired His Majesty's vision. ” the groove Zhu Houzhao never thought that there would be such a reason But as soon as Ye Chunqiu said this, he suddenly became enlightened, he had studied the map for too long, of course he knew what Ye Chunqiu was talking about.
Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily and said: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable, the world is too big, even if the Ming Dynasty occupies the desert, but here, there are more Rus' people, and the Rus' people have become a big problem again, if they occupy Rus again, there will still be countless henchmen, this desert, I reward you because I am not rare." ” Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply, and then said: "This is because this is not the territory that I personally opened up, I want to open up the territory, and I will go by myself." ” This seems to have become a good understanding of Zhu Houzhao, of course, to make this determination, Zhu Houzhao said that he did not struggle in his heart, but it was false: "This time, it has been proved that your strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army is indeed useful, so it seems that it is imperative to implement this commercial tax law." ” But at this time, his expression suddenly darkened, and he continued: "It's just that I never expected that Li Dongyang would be so ill-intentioned about the country, hey, let Liu Jin investigate this matter, Chunqiu, you are also tired, go back and rest." ” aa2705221:
