Chapter 430: New Order on the Grassland
Chapter 430: New Order on the Grassland
"What do you mean by establishing a new order?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
"The current order on the grassland was established by Genghis Khan, and its core is the Mongolian Code and the grassland military aristocracy system."
"Before, the Ming Dynasty implemented a feudal tribute system on the Mongols. That is, various rewards were used to win over the leaders of various tribes, so that they would obey the Ming Dynasty and be used by the Ming Dynasty. But in the end, the feudal tribute system failed, which also proved that the feudal tribute system would not work on the grassland. There are many reasons for the failure of the feudal tribute system, but I think the most core point is that the reason why the leaders of the Mongolian tribes are leaders is that the legal source of their identity is the grassland order established by Temujin. No matter how the Ming Dynasty rewards the leaders of various tribes, it cannot legally replace Temujin's role. Therefore, the feudal tribute system is doomed to fail," Zhu Houxuan said in an unquestionable tone.
All the participants in the meeting held their breath and listened to Zhu Houxuan's words very seriously.
All the high-ranking members of the Guards attended this meeting, because with the victory in the war against Mongolia, the question of how to rule the Mongols became imminent. This meeting was also to unify the thoughts of the various units of the Guards on how to govern the Mongols and to explain the reasons thoroughly to prevent any unit from pretending to obey but actually disobeying.
"Since the feudal tribute system has failed, if we want to rule the Mongols, we must find a more effective way and carry out institutional innovation."
"First of all, we must give up trying to win over the Mongolian military nobles. Facts have proved that winning over these Mongolian military nobles can only win them over temporarily, but cannot make them submit to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, because they are the biggest beneficiaries of the system established by Genghis Khan. Long-term submission to the Ming Dynasty will reduce the legality of their status, so they are destined not to completely submit to the Ming Dynasty. Everyone has no objection to this, right?" Zhu Houxuan looked at everyone in the meeting room.
"no disagreement!"
"The Mongolian nobles are just a bunch of wolves that can never be tamed!"
"This should have been done long ago. Trying to win over the Mongolian nobles is like throwing meat buns at a dog."
"."
The participants discussed this enthusiastically, and no one had any objection to giving up the Mongolian nobility.
"Since we have abandoned the Mongolian military aristocracy, we want to establish a new order to replace the order established by Temujin. The most fundamental thing to establish and maintain an order is people, so we need to find enough people to maintain the order, and these people are the most ordinary Mongolians." Zhu Houxuan continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting room immediately began to buzz with discussion. Everyone present knew that the matter of allocating pasture and livestock to Mongolia required the cooperation of the Guards.
"Since we can't win over the Mongolian military nobles, then we can win over the most common Mongolians and give them pastures and livestock."
"We also need to give a new legal basis to this behavior, that is, Your Majesty's reward. As the new Mongolian conqueror and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty is qualified and capable of giving this new legal basis." Zhu Houxuan saw Zhu Houzhao's happy smile, and it was obvious that he liked the title of "Mongol Conqueror" very much.
"Then how can we ensure that ordinary Mongolians will not betray the Ming Dynasty like those Mongolian nobles?" a general asked. "Because the biggest beneficiaries of the order established by Temujin are the Mongolian military nobles, and the biggest beneficiaries of our new order are ordinary Mongolians. The legal basis for their pastures and livestock comes from Your Majesty, so they are naturally supporters of the new order." Zhu Houxuan didn't explain it too clearly, but everyone present understood what was going on.
Zhu Houxuan's action of distributing land to ordinary Mongolians did not surprise many people, because the slogan of equal distribution of land rights was not uncommon. In fact, there were too many uprisings in Chinese history, and there were all kinds of slogans. Shouting slogans is one thing, and being able to realize slogans is another.
Moreover, in the early days of many dynasties, when the land was vast and the population was sparse, the policy of equal distribution of land was implemented. Therefore, the people present were not very sensitive to the issue of dividing the grasslands. Besides, they did not look down on those grasslands.
"I have said before that we must not only control the Mongolians ideologically and make them agree with us, but also deeply bind ourselves with them in terms of interests. Only by walking on two legs can the relationship be the most solid."
"No matter how much we control the Mongolians ideologically, if we do not give them certain benefits, they will become alienated from us under the repeated harsh blows of reality."
"We will also open up the long-cherished right to trade to the Mongols under the new order. The quality of life of the new Mongols, backed by the Ming Dynasty, will be greatly improved. All of this will make the Mongols more loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
"This new order has a fatal attraction to other ordinary Mongolians. I believe that many ordinary Mongolians who understand the situation will continue to join us and join this new order."
"When there are more and more Mongols under the new order, and they become more numerous than the Mongols under the old order, then the orthodoxy of Mongolia will be in the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty will become the new Great Khan of Mongolia."
"Hahaha!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly burst into laughter. "What a legitimate Mongolian dynasty in the Ming Dynasty! What a new Mongolian Khan! I've been waiting for that day!"
Zhu Houxun's last words completely hit the spot for Zhu Houzhao, making him overjoyed.
Moreover, with Zhu Houzhao's intelligence, he also understood that Zhu Houxuan's plan was very feasible, and he was very likely to become the Great Khan of Mongolia in the end.
"Don't worry, my royal brother. I believe that day is not far away," said Zhu Houxuan.
Zhu Houzhao was even happier after hearing this.
"The Mongolians are so lucky. They can get such great blessings just by lying at home and doing nothing." Jiang Bin suddenly sighed.
Jiang Bin's words resonated with many people.
"The Mongols were so arrogant back then, and they had countless blood feuds with the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty led us in three years of battles to achieve these victories and trample the Mongols under your feet. We didn't expect that the Mongols' lives have become better than before because of this," said a military general somewhat indignantly.
Zhu Houxuan immediately understood what they meant. It was easy to say that establishing a new order and winning over ordinary Mongolians was simple, but the century-long blood feud between the Ming and Mongolia made it difficult for many people to change their minds, so it was normal for them to complain.
"What the generals said makes sense, but there is a saying that makes a lot of sense: all the gifts given by fate have been secretly marked with a price. This is no exception for the Mongols." Zhu Houxuan said as he looked at the people in the field.
