Chapter 109: Best Policy! A Ruthless and Cruel Plan!
Latest website:
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, there was silence in the Nuan Pavilion.
Everyone was thinking about the political implications of Prince Han's words just now, and all of them frowned.
Even Zhu Di's anger had mostly dissipated at this moment, and he kept trying to figure out the deeper meaning of his second son.
War is just a means to achieve political goals!
Armed war is just a bad idea!
A war for money and food, a war for resources, is the middle strategy!
If, as the King of Han said, he continues to instigate rebellion and gather the tribal civilians on the grasslands, grant them the power to station herders on the Ming border, and then subtly assimilate them through various means, then there will be an additional "war barrier" in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty!
Whether they are Tatars or Oaras, if they want to go south to plunder the Ming Dynasty, they must bypass these civilian tribes, or massacre these civilian tribes first!
But, is this plan really achievable?
Jin Zhong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, looked calm and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, the barbarians on the grassland do not appreciate enlightenment and do not know benevolence and kindness. Even if we treat them kindly, how can we guarantee that they will not rebel again and again?"
This concern is not unreasonable.
After all, the three guards of Wuliangha are the best example.
"Yes, King Han, those who are not of my race must have different minds. Your plan is too taken for granted."
"Indeed, those lords of Tatar Wala are not fools. How could they just watch my Ming Dynasty do this?"
No one sitting in the booth is a fool. They quickly discovered the hidden dangers in this plan.
The living example of the three guards of Wuliangha is right in front of us. Who can guarantee that the grassland barbarians who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty will not rebel again and again?
Furthermore, Wala Mahamu and Tartar Arutai are both cunning and cunning heroes. How could they just sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty instigate rebellion against their tribal people?
Everyone talked a lot, and everyone raised their concerns.
Zhu Gaoxu was not angry when he saw this, because these hidden dangers existed in themselves.
"Whether these civilians will rebel again or again, I have made it very clear just now. Maybe you don't know how miserable the lives of those Mongolian civilians are. Once they see the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty, they will feel the welfare benefits of our Ming Dynasty." , even if I, the Ming Dynasty, drive them away, I still can’t drive them away!”
"As for how those Mongolian nobles will react, this is even more trivial. We instigated the tribal civilians on the grasslands to rebel and turned them into a war barrier. Even if the Tatar Oara army attacks, so what? Those who will die first will also die. They’re just prairie barbarians!”
After hearing this, everyone felt a chill suddenly rising from their hearts.
Yes, those who died were Mongolian Tatars. What does it have to do with them?
As long as those who died were not Han people, Ming Dynasty had nothing to lose at all!
On the contrary, if this situation really occurs, those Mongolian civilians will only be more attracted to the Ming Dynasty and full of hatred for the Mongolian nobles!
However, this strategy is too ruthless and insidious, and does not conform to the Confucian concept of benevolent government.
However, Huang Huai and others did not speak, but chose to remain silent.
In their eyes, the Mongolian Tatars are foreign barbarians, and they have nothing to do with Confucianism no matter how hard they die!
Everyone was still deep in thought, secretly wondering whether King Han's plan would work.
But the big fat Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes, looked left and right, and then whispered: "Second brother, didn't you say there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower? Is there a better strategy?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they all looked at Zhu Gaoxu.
Yes, he has a better idea!
Although this strategy has many hidden dangers, if it is implemented smoothly, it is also a good method.
Now everyone is even more curious. How can His Highness the King of Han in front of them defeat the barbarians?
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Although the best policy is the best policy, it is a desperate plan. The smooth implementation of the middle policy is enough to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will have no more dangers. There is no need to talk about the best policy, right?"
After hearing this, everyone froze on the spot.
A desperate plan?
So cruel?
After hearing this, Zhu Di became even more curious and shouted: "If there is any other good idea, please tell me quickly, otherwise you will be punished by the high wall!"
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
What?
Issued with high walls?
I'll match your mother!
The stupid Zhu Laosi!
Jin Zhong and others also became interested at this moment, and they all asked Zhu Gaoxu to come up with the best strategy.
They are really curious, what kind of strategy can they come up with that can be called a "death plan"?
Seeing this situation, Zhu Gaoxu sighed, and had to speak slowly: "This best strategy is based on the middle strategy, and at least mutual markets need to be opened."
"The second step is to set rules for the mutual market. The Ming Dynasty purchased goats at high prices. They wanted all the goats, whether they were wool, sheepskin or mutton. They wanted as many goats as they wanted. They could even raise their prices to two or three times the market price, inducing the grassland tribes to increase their efforts. Breed goats!”
Everyone: "???"
What?
Raising sheep?
What's the use?
Xia Yuanji explained tentatively: "Once the Ming Dynasty purchased wool and mutton at a large premium and had a lot of money in front of them, those grassland nobles would definitely flock to it and force the common people at the bottom to raise goats for profit. Am I right, Your Highness, the King of Han?" "
After Zhu Di heard this, he understood instantly and stood up in shock!
This second method is to use money to lure the Mongolian Tatars to raise sheep!
Although the grassland is large, UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net but the pasture is limited.
As the number of sheep increases, the number of cattle and horses will naturally decrease, especially horses, which are the most numerous on the grassland!
The grassland tribes who lacked or even had no horses were no threat to the Ming Dynasty!
However, there was one question Zhu Di didn't understand, and Jin Zhong asked it for him at the right time.
"Your Highness, King of Han, why do you have to label him a goat?"
Since the purpose is to reduce the number of war horses on the grassland, it is okay to raise cattle and sheep. Why does it have to be goats?
All the giants did not understand and could not understand his true meaning.
"Well, this is because goats have strange teeth. If they eat grass, they will eat the grass roots together. The more goats we raise, the greater the damage to the pasture!"
pasture?
destroy?
What does it mean?
Isn't it to let them raise sheep to reduce the number of war horses?
Everyone was stunned and froze in place.
Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "The third step is to send businessmen into the grasslands to purchase large quantities of insects such as mantises and ladybugs, as well as wild beasts such as snakes, foxes and wolves, in the name of medicine. Purchase them at high prices and encourage Mongolian barbarians to hunt them."
"The fourth step is to release a large number of rabbits, mice, ants and other small animals into the grassland pasture. They can destroy the ground pasture and reproduce very quickly. In addition, natural enemies such as snakes and wild wolves have been greatly reduced due to our acquisition. In a short time, we can Destroy the prairie pasture!”
"The fifth step is that if there is not enough grass, the tribe will be in trouble. This is sending people to teach them to dig ditches from the lakes, wetlands and swamps to irrigate the pasture. In fact, it is a strategy to drain the water. In the end, the entire pasture will gradually turn into desert..."
"Part 6, by this time, I, the Ming Dynasty, can stop purchasing sheep skin and mutton, or even directly close the mutual market, cutting off all hope of the Mongolian barbarians!"
