The ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth held by the Great Jin Imperial Court this time did not invite other subject countries to participate, which was an internal affair of the Great Jin Imperial Court, and there was no need for other subject countries to participate.

After Su Tiancheng entered the capital, the first decision he made was to let the heirs of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe return to the grassland, and there was no need to serve as hostages in the capital, not only the heirs of these two tribes, but even the concubines and Fulin of Houjin also returned to Shenyang, Su Tiancheng's move was supported by many people, they thought it was a manifestation of generosity, Su Tiancheng also understood that this kind of support was different from the support he expected, no matter what, The kind of blind arrogance that the Ming court had before still existed in the hearts of these civil and military ministers, thinking that the barbarians were not as good as the Han people, and not as good as the Central Plains.

Su Tiancheng will not do such a thing, his foreign policy is very clear, that is, exploitation, since the vassal state needs to be protected by the imperial court, then it needs to pay a price, at least the price of money, whether to come to worship is not the most important thing, the wealth of tribute must be in place, this is the real surrender.

As for the practice of mortgaging hostages, it is not even considered.

Of course, Su Tiancheng's thoughts will not be said for the time being, otherwise the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court may think that all the measures of his emperor are similar to those of businessmen.

The leader of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe. After Su Tiancheng occupied the capital, they all came to the capital to visit, which was necessary, because the situation of the grassland and the vassal state was different, and in Su Tiancheng's view, the grassland was the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. It must be under the jurisdiction of the Great Jin Dynasty, so the leaders of the two tribes came to the capital, and Su Tiancheng specially met him in the Huangji Palace.

This time, the imperial court appointed two tribal leaders to the official positions, and set up a special Hetao Mansion in the Hetao area, Zheng Hongkui served as the prefect, and the Dauria tribal leader Xia Ba served as the commander of the Hetao Guard, and the entire Hetao area was very large, but because it belonged to the grassland and desert area. The population was not very large, so only the government was established. In the place occupied by the Xibe tribe, the Hohhot Mansion was established, Zheng Chenggong served as the prefect, and the Xibe leader Mo Si served as the commander of the Hohhot Guard.

Sending Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhilong as the first prefect is also the result of Su Tiancheng's careful consideration, according to many people's opinions, since it is an ethnic minority area. Just let them toss it themselves, and the Han people should not interfere. This is conducive to stability, but Su Tiancheng does not see it this way, he believes that the Han people must enter the grassland and use the culture of the Han people to assimilate the ethnic minorities, so that they can truly rule these places, lest these places become the biggest destabilizing factor.

Long. The Ming Dynasty mainly suppressed and despised ethnic minorities, which also caused the opposition between ethnic minorities and Han Chinese, and this situation must be changed, although it takes a process to change.

Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong. is able to complete the task very well, in fact, there is a strong support of the imperial court, after the two of them arrived in Hetao and Hohhot, that is, the real leader, according to their duties, Xia Ba and Mo Si have to obey their dispatch.

Su Tiancheng's preparations were intended to unify the entire grassland, and at the same time lay the foundation for the complete eradication of the Houjin Tartars and the extension to the deeper north.

When the two leaders of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe came to the capital, they brought a large number of jewels, and they begged for more artillery, and at the same time expressed their loyalty to the imperial court and were willing to obey the leadership of the prefect.

Since Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion to capture the capital, destroyed the Ming Dynasty and unified the Central Plains, the grassland has had a huge shock, some tribal leaders have realized that the Great Jin Dynasty is afraid to unify the entire grassland, and the tribes are unable to compete with the Great Jin Dynasty, so some tribes have re-begun to take refuge in these two tribes and are stationed in the Hetao and Hohhot areas.

This situation, Su Tiancheng is clear, he specifically instructed Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong, after entering the grassland, it is necessary to integrate all the tribes, now these tribes are already under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the tribes are different from the Fuzhou counties in the interior, they are nomadic people, there is no fixed place, there is a certain degree of difficulty in jurisdiction, coupled with the lack of materials, many times, life needs to rely on the mainland, so in terms of improving production capacity, we must work the one hand, we need to use strong means to deter these tribesOn the other hand, it is best to use Confucianism to reform the tribe, and encourage the young people of the tribe to participate in the imperial examination of the Great Jin Dynasty, so that they can manage the grassland tribe to the greatest extent.

Towards vassal states, Su Tiancheng's attitude is different.

For example, North Korea, the royal family of the Li family has sent people to worship several times, not long after Su Tiancheng entered the capital, representatives of the Li family's royal family came to the capital, bringing a large number of gifts, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhou Yanru meant, is it to give some rewards, Su Tiancheng did not agree, he even talked directly with the envoy of North Korea, the meaning is very clear, the Great Jin Dynasty will protect all the interests of North Korea, and even does not need North Korea to come to worship every year, but North Korea must pay a certain amount of local specialties every year, This can be discussed with the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites.

Su Tiancheng also had the same attitude towards the policy of Southeast Asia, focusing on the need for them to transport rice, which must be delivered every year, otherwise the Great Jin Dynasty would no longer protect their interests.

This seemingly harsh condition will not be met with any rejection.

The power of the Jiangning Camp Naval Division, not only many vassal countries have seen it, but even Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands in the Western Regions have fully seen it, and no one can compete with it, even if the naval divisions of all the countries in the Western Regions are united, they are not the opponents of the Great Jin Naval Division, in this case, the Dutch warships and Spanish warships that were arrogant in Taiwan and Southeast Asia have long disappeared without a trace, and from the southbound Champang, Chenla, Siam, Sumatra, Catchawa, and Ceylon and other places in the southward from Taiwan, It is completely within the control of the Great Jin Water Division.

The royal family or the official office in these places is basically unable to support it if it does not have the support of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries did not expect that the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty attached so much importance to the area of the sea, which was completely different from the previous emperors, and the former Jiangning Naval Division, and now the Great Jin Naval Division, are powerful and terrifying.

Su Tiancheng's foreign policy has been determined in the word of the public, in fact, several prime ministers in the imperial court, their understanding has long changed, after seeing the role of merchants, they feel that the imperial court can collect more taxes, it is possible to really develop, and only then can they take out the silver to do things, the wharves and shipyards located in Dengzhou and Laizhou, the silver earned by ordinary people cannot be imagined by ordinary people, especially the shipyards, whether it is merchant ships or war ships, are always in short supply, These transactions were mainly aimed at countries such as the Western Regions, among which the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries became the main force of purchases, all of which were traded for gold and silver.

The arsenal has become a cornucopia, many countries in the Western Regions have come to buy artillery, flintlock pistols, etc., and they are very generous, and they don't talk about the price at all, if it is not controlled by the imperial court, to prevent the Houjin Tartars from getting too many artillery and flintlock pistols from the arsenal, hurting the interests of the Great Jin court, the household department does not know how much income Lu Dao will increase.

With these practical experiences, coupled with the fact that the expenses of the imperial court are not small, the prime ministers also understand that the development of commerce and trade proposed by the emperor and the collection of more taxes by the imperial court may be the track of benign development, and only when it embarks on this track, the Great Jin Dynasty will become stronger and stronger.

In fact, everyone supports external toughness.

Southeast Asia, Korea and other countries are completely dependent on the support of the Great Jin Dynasty, and without the support of the court, it is difficult for them to live a peaceful life, in this case, the court does not need to take out a large amount of silver to maintain this dependent relationship, and if you want to get the support of the court, you must have to pay a price.

It's just that everyone is a little strange that the emperor never mentioned Japan, in fact, Japan also waited and watched for a long time, and secretly sent an envoy, but unfortunately the envoy did not see the emperor, you must know that from the position, Japan is closer to the Great Jin Dynasty.

After establishing these foreign policies, everyone finally got an experience from it, and the vassal countries such as Southeast Asia were busy paying tribute, learning from North Korea one after another, negotiating with the Ministry of Household Rites, and clarifying how much to pay each year, on the condition that they were sheltered by the Great Jin Dynasty, and they also got unexpected surprises, so it was good that the Great Jin Dynasty would never interfere in their internal affairs, and everything was up to them.

Everyone didn't expect that all the decisions made by the emperor were just laying the foundation and preparing for greater actions later. (To be continued......)
