Chapter 666 Mongolian Second Guardian
To rectify the trade market, the first step is to unify the currency. All chaotic silver and copper coins must be withdrawn from the market. Zhu Xu must completely achieve "equivalence" and smooth freight.
"I have not returned to the emperor yet. It is said that there is some objection from the cabinet and it is still being discussed. Master Bi has returned to Beijing and it should not take long to send it." Cao Huachun from outside said.
Zhu Xu's head, the matter of minting coins is very important, and it involves huge amounts. It cannot be accomplished in just one sentence. It requires the coordinated arrangements of various yamen in the court, and it is normal for the cabinet to be cautious.
"The cabinet only takes three days to pass the message back!"
As normal as normal, the efficiency that Zhu Xu wants cannot be reduced.
When Zhu Xu returned to the inn, he saw Bumubutai standing in the lobby, slightly lowering his head, wearing plain clothes.
She stood in the lobby, as if she was independent in the world, she was the only one, lonely and cold.
‘Is this the famous Xiaozhuang in later generations?’
Zhu Xu looked at her and said to herself.
He had seen this woman once in the palace. He didn't have any special feelings at that time. Now he vaguely felt that Bumubutai at this time was the legendary Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in later generations.
It was only a little shorter than him, and his hair was opened and hung behind him. His facial features were a little softer in the cold color. The occasionally blinking eyes were gentle and quick.
"The daughter of the fallen country, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
Bumubutai knelt on the ground, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, and her whole body seemed to be close to the ground, with a cold and straightforward voice. There was a woman behind her kneeling and trembling.
‘This is a calm, rational woman who knows very well what she needs.’
Zhu Xu secretly commented that such a woman is the most terrifying because it is difficult for outsiders to peek at her true thoughts.
But Zhu Xu is not afraid!
He walked over Bumubutai, sat on the chair, and said lightly, "Do you want to see me?"
Bumubutai knelt in place without moving, his forehead tightly pressed against the ground, his expression did not change at all, and a cold voice came out: "The daughter of the deceased country, I beg the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to help Korqin."
Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Continue."
BumuButai's face was still calm, his eyes were looking at the cold floor tiles that were so close to each other, feeling the coldness, and he became more and more calm, saying, "I can help the emperor clear out all the fine works of the Jin Kingdom in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, including in the south of the Mobei and the north of the Mobei."
Zhu Xu held the teacup leisurely and said, "It's not enough."
Bumubutai still looked unmoved and said, "Korqin can recover in just two or three months, and he can fight Chahar."
“Talking to smart people is to save energy,”
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "However, the Mongolian tribe on the grassland has completely declined, and I have long since been very concerned."
"Maybe you don't have to care about it for ten or twenty years. In fifty years, will the Emperor not care about it?" Bumubutai said.
Zhu Xu suddenly narrowed his eyes. Bumu Butai was the one who hit the point, and it hit the point. It should be said that she should have done her detailed homework and had a little understanding of him.
The Central Plains dynasty is an agricultural civilization, and it is at a disadvantage in combat power for nomadic peoples. It may be suppressed for a while, but in a few decades, it will increase and decrease. The Central Plains dynasty begins to decline, and the nomadic people gradually recover. They will start to invade the Central Plains again due to their livelihoods.
The relocation of the Central Plains dynasty is indispensable in the intervening of nomadic peoples, and it is nothing more than changing one or several objects.
The cycle goes on and on, and this situation will not end until industrial civilization.
However, Zhu Xu just smiled and said lukewarmly, "Fifty years... I do have to consider it, but I am still young. In ten years, I will have 300,000 cavalry and thousands of cannons, which is enough to push the grassland from south to north like Taizu Taizong. You don't have to worry."
Bumubutai frowned slightly. This was her first time confronting the Ming Emperor face to face, and she could deeply understand the difficulty of the Ming Emperor.
“陛下英明神武,在世之时自然无忧,那一百年呢?”布木布泰道,她准备的很充足.
‘It doesn’t take a hundred years, fifty years of technology are enough to sweep away the cavalry with cold weapons!’
Zhu Xu said in his heart and said decisively: "I will consider it. If there is not enough letter of confession, you should know the fate of your sisters and Korqin."
Bumubutai took a deep breath and said, "Korqin was willing to offer 12 million taels of gold, silver and jewelry, 5,000 good horses, 10,000 cattle and sheep each. He asked the Ming Dynasty to enthrone the title, and worship two thousand good horses and five thousand cattle and sheep every year, and will never rebel."
‘One thousand two million taels…’
Zhu Xu looked slightly shocked and immediately realized that this was definitely not Korqin's. Mostly Huang Taiji didn't have time to take it away and hid somewhere in Liaodong. As for the others, Zhu Xu didn't care much. There was Chahar in front and Shen Yang behind, and there was enough horse farm. The Ming Dynasty now has no shortage of good horses.
However, Bumu Butai's courage is really extraordinary, and someone else might not be able to do it.
"I don't like it." Zhu Xu was still lukewarm.
Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Yuan Kezhong and others were all shocked.
Bumubutai frowned slightly, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty's appetite exceeded her expectations.
"Your Majesty, this is already owned by Korqin. If Korqin cannot gain a foothold in the north of the desert, there is no other way except to move westward." Bumubutai said, his voice cold and sharp and determined.
This is a threat!
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes. Bumu Butai was amazing. If it were someone else, he would have agreed long ago. Even the adults of the six ministries of the cabinet would probably accept it.
After all, the north cannot let Lin Danhan's family dominate, and there must be checks and balances, otherwise they will go back after a while, and the Great Wall and Liaodong will be threatened by Chahar.
"If you want to move west, then move west." Zhu Xu said, he would not take this trick.
Bumubutai's hands on the ground couldn't help but tremble.
If Huang Taiji and some Korqin moved westward, the rest of Korqin followed him and left, how can he still go now? It doesn’t mean that Lin Danhan has been eyeing him, and if it weren’t for the Ming Dynasty’s suppression, he would have attacked long ago.
It can be said that the remaining Korqin now has no way out except seeking help from the Ming Dynasty!
Bumubutai knelt there, and suddenly showed a sense of perseverance. He stood up and turned his knees, looked directly at Zhu Xu, and said resolutely: "I would like to ask the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to save me, Korqin, Korqin, Bumubutai is willing to pay all the price!"
Zhu Xu's mouth moved slightly, this was what he wanted.
He picked up the tea cup, and gently fiddled with the water surface. After a while, he said slowly: "I plan to set up two guards on the grassland. The Hulang Guard commanded Chahar and all Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert, and set up Taining Guard in Korqin to control all Mongolian tribes in Korqin and all Mongolian tribes in the north of the desert."
BumuButai frowned slightly. She had read a lot and knew that in the early Ming Dynasty, the three guards were established in Mongolia in ancient times, and the leaders were enthroned, and rewarded them. However, the army had to obey the Ming Dynasty and be responsible for fighting against the enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
But isn't this the same as what she just said?
"Please tell me your Majesty." Bumubutai's voice was cold and his eyebrows were stubborn.
‘It’s getting more and more like…’
Zhu Xu whispered in his heart, Bumubutai may have experienced the pain of losing his country and being abandoned, and his whole body is transforming, becoming more and more calm and rational.
"Simple," Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and smiled: "My Ming Dynasty is in charge of all the troops, and the grassland is included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty. The leader of Korqin is a king and is hereditary. The court will not interfere in your government affairs. It will also provide appropriate subsidies. The opening of the market will be made public. Your population can also be freely migrated within the Ming Dynasty, enter Liaodong, or even enter the pass. There is no problem."
Bumu Butai's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was cold.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to completely annex Korqin, without any room for negotiation!
Either it is annexed by Chahar and nothing is left; or it is annexed by the Ming Dynasty, Korqin can still breathe a little.
Even though Bumubutai was calm and rational, his eyebrows were frowning at this time and his breath was disordered.
Her current answer will determine the survival of Korqin!
Zhu Xu smiled and looked at Bumubutai quietly.
This is a cold beauty with a beautiful face, not fat but thin figure, wearing a plain skirt, wrapped around a slender body, frowning, pursing her lips, showing her sad face, adding a unique charm of a young woman.
"The Emperor really won't interfere with anything else?" Bumu Butai looked up at Zhu Xu. Although he knew that once he agreed, he would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one
