I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 443 Rebellion against Tiangang
"Yes, I am also curious about how His Royal Highness Prince Jing can 'win the hearts of the Mongolian people'. The massacre is against the harmony of nature, but similar things are not uncommon. Similar things happen every few years," said Mao Ji after reading the military report.

Zhu Houxuan raised his eyebrows. He understood what Mao Ji was talking about.
The Ming Dynasty has been developing the southwest. The conflicts between the natives and the Hakkas in the southwest are very acute, and the conflicts between the chieftains are also not small, so some vicious massacres occur from time to time.

These vicious incidents obviously interfered with Mao Ji's judgment on this matter. Mao Ji clearly equated the massacre of naturalized Mongolians with the vicious incidents in the southwest region.
"Does your Majesty still remember this Daiqin?" Zhu Houxuan asked.

"Daiqin?" Zhu Houzhao frowned and thought, "Is he a former leader of the Hetao Mongolian tribes?"

"My royal brother, if you remember correctly, according to the intelligence we have, Daiqin is not just the leader of a Mongolian tribe, but also the third son of a Mongolian prince and a capable general of the current Mongolian Khan Barsborot!" Zhu Houxuan continued.

"We have learned from the largest group of Mongolians who surrendered that the Mongolian Khan Barsborot and this Daiqin are hiding in the Yinshan Mountains northwest of Hetao."

The people present were all veterans in the officialdom, and they were all highly politically sensitive, and they immediately sensed the difference.
"Your Highness, do you mean that the massacre of naturalized Mongolians was instigated by Barsborough?" Yang Yiqing asked.

"I think it's most likely!" Zhu Houxuan nodded and said.

"Although Barsboroth's strength was greatly reduced due to our army's attack on Hetao, which led to his inability to control the Tatar tribes and he became a Mongolian Khan in name only, his brothers have never elected a new Mongolian Khan. So now Barsboroth is still nominally the commander of the Tatar tribes and the Mongolian Khan on the left and right wings of Mongolia!" Zhu Houxuan said, waving his arms.

Everyone present nodded slowly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and they all understood what Zhu Houxuan meant.

If the current Mongolian Khan, who is from the Golden Family and whose surname is Borjigin, ordered the massacre of naturalized Mongolians, then the political nature of this would be very different.
"So no matter whether this matter was instigated by Barsborough or not, we only have one result and one voice, that is, this matter was instigated by Barsborough." Zhu Houxuan said in a silent tone.

Everyone nodded again. Doing so was the most beneficial approach for the Ming Dynasty because it would effectively damage the reputation of the Golden Family and weaken the prestige of the Mongol Khan.

"In the past six months, I have been leading and promoting a series of policies for naturalized Mongolians. You may not be familiar with the mentality of naturalized Mongolians now. Today I will explain to you the current mentality of naturalized Mongolians." Zhu Houxuan continued.

"We are now just using various benefits to bind the naturalized Mongolians. Although we have transformed 30,000 to 40,000 Mongolians, these people cannot completely change the mainstream thinking of the naturalized Mongolians. They only provide a basis for us to rule the Mongolians."

"My next plan is to continue to attract more Mongols to surrender to the Ming through peaceful evolution, but the Tatar Mongolian tribes will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely launch a counterattack, and the naturalized Mongols will definitely not give up their interests and live a hard life with the Tatar Mongolian tribes, because it is human nature. The contradiction between the two sides will continue to deepen, blood debts will continue to accumulate, and the rift will continue to expand. In the end, the two sides will completely split, and the naturalized Mongols will completely turn to the Ming Dynasty and be used by the Ming Dynasty."

Listening to Zhu Houxuan's slow narration, the eyes of the university scholars present at the scene changed when they looked at Zhu Houxuan.
"I originally thought that this process would take three to five years to show initial results. I didn't expect that Barsborot would do such a vicious thing to the naturalized Mongolians. If this matter is used well, it can create a big enough rift between the Mongols and the naturalized Mongolians. Barsborot's identity will deepen this hatred and eventually split the two sides completely."

"According to my observation, many naturalized Mongolians still have illusions in their hearts. They are still unable to let go. They have a very contradictory mentality. Their biggest illusion is that the Mongolian army will drive our army away, and then the Mongolian nobles will show mercy and not take back the various properties distributed to them by the Ming army." "But this vicious incident directly shattered the illusions in the hearts of all Mongolians. The Mongolian Khan and members of the Golden Family used practical actions to tell all naturalized Mongolians that they would use the most cruel means to deal with the Mongolians who occupied their former property."

"This vicious incident also gave all naturalized Mongolians a reason to completely turn to our Ming Dynasty. This reason is so sufficient. So I said that if this matter is used well, it will be enough to win the hearts of the Mongolian people." Zhu Houxuan slowly ended his speech.

Everyone present was stunned by Zhu Houxuan's in-depth and simple analysis. Zhu Houxuan's control over people's hearts was simply amazing.
Zhu Houzhao didn't think too much about it. He followed Zhu Houxuan's thoughts and felt that they made more and more sense. He said, "This is indeed a good opportunity. What should we do next? Brother, you must have a plan in mind."

"There are some superficial views," Zhu Houxuan said with a smile, "The Royal Group will launch a propaganda offensive in the planning of Mongolian settlements, spread this matter as quickly as possible, and let all naturalized Mongolians know about this matter."

"Then we will also launch a political offensive." Zhu Houxuan said to Zhu Houzhao.

"Political offensive? How to do it?" Zhu Houzhao said somewhat bewilderedly.

"Please ask your Majesty to issue an edict. The main content of the edict is to reiterate your protection for the naturalized Mongols, accuse Barsborot of his atrocities, and issue a reward and wanted order for Barsborot," Zhu Houxuan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao agreed very straightforwardly. "The drafting of the edict will be handed over to the cabinet. The cabinet should draft the edict as soon as possible as the King of Jing just said."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Chu stepped out and responded.

Then he hesitated and continued, "Your Highness, what you just said is not appropriate. I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, want to arrest and offer a reward to the Mongolian Khan for some slaughtered Mongols. This always feels a bit strange. Why not list the various crimes that Barsborough committed against the Ming Dynasty in the edict?"

Everyone present pondered over it and found that it was indeed the case. When they pondered over this will, they always felt that it was against the will of heaven.
"We can't list all the crimes that Barsborough has committed against the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Houxuan directly rejected this proposal.

"That wouldn't be pure enough!"

"This decree is to tell all the Mongols that I, the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, am seeking the arrest and offering a reward for the Mongol Khan just for the sake of those Mongols who died!"
