Secondly, it ensured the source of war horses for the imperial court.

Again, it also gave those merchants who sold horses a way to live, after all, they can't buy and sell war horses, but horses can be bought and sold, and the Ming Dynasty has a great demand for these horses, which is also a big market.

Fourth, it effectively prevents the war horse from continuing to flow into the hands of thieves and other thieves!

The Empress Dowager is not stupid, after thinking about it for a while, she also touched a little bit of the key points, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that in the newly established yamen, some people will take bribes, and even blackmail our Chahar Department." ”

"Please rest assured, this yamen, this official will personally watch it. And ......" Liu Ruozai smiled: "Not all of them are sent by the imperial court, and your ministry can also send people in to oversee." ”

The Empress Dowager's expression immediately softened a lot, and she said, "That's very good." ”

What she was most worried about was that after the officials of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the Chahar Department and formed this department, which could block a large amount of economic resources from the Chahar Department to a considerable extent, they began to extort money, eat and take cards, and do misdeeds. This is not unfounded, the Ming Dynasty at the end of the period has almost rotted to the roots, corruption is rampant, there are countless vices, and it is not normal to not be corrupt or extorted.

If there is really such a group of people, the hard days of the Chahar Department will come.

But now, with Liu Ruozai's assurance, there is no need to worry about this. Moreover, the Chahar Ministry can also send people in, which will be more able to fight for its own rights and ensure that the interests of the Chahar Department are not damaged.

As for the benefits, they must be given, and the Queen Mother is also the kind of person who has insight into the world and is skilled in human feelings, so she naturally knows that the money that should be spent cannot be saved.

"Third." Liu Ruozai paused, looked at the face of the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile: "It's the people of the household." ”

Hearing the words Qi Min, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed.

It was a very effective way for the Central Plains Dynasty to exercise effective rule over some regions after conquering them.

Organize the households, clarify the household registration, and organize the people to protect the armor, and then usually the next step is to arrange the flow of officials according to the number of people. This series of actions was a complete transformation of the land and return to the stream, completely disintegrating the rule of Tusi, and bringing the local area under the rule of the imperial court.

When the Empress Dowager heard Liu Ruozai put forward this condition, she almost turned her face on the spot.

Once the land is changed and returned, it means that the nobles of the Chahar tribe will completely lose their dominance over the people and become nominal nobles. And the actual power will be in the hands of those officials sent by the Ming court.

Moreover, the change of land and return to the stream is contrary to the conditions she proposed that Liu Ruozai promised before, according to the Banzhou example, that is, to set up a Tusi management, and at this time Liu Ruozai proposed to organize the households and the people, which is clearly a reversal.

Why, bullying me for not being knowledgeable? The Queen Mother sneered in her heart.

Seeing her expression, Liu Ruozai knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand the Queen Mother, it's not that what she meant." ”

The Empress Dowager sneered: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Only make up the households and the people, and do not change the land and return to the stream." Liu Ruozai said: "It's just a matter of counting how many tribes there are, and how many households each tribe has registered. The purpose of this is to let His Majesty and the adults in Beijing know how many people there are in the Chahar Department, and they can also think about what they will do in the future. As for the internal affairs of the Chahar Ministry, the imperial court will not interfere, and may appoint officials, but all officials will definitely be the nobles in your ministry. As for who will be the one, it is naturally the Queen Mother who will recommend it. ”

The back of the sac is a little dark, and there are still some doubts in my heart. She asked tentatively: "In that case, the ministries only need to report the general account number, right?" It shouldn't be too delicate. ”

Liu Ruozai nodded with a smile: "The Queen Mother is reasonable. ”

The Empress Dowager relieved her heart, nodded, and agreed to this article.

Liu Ruozai seems to be nothing, but in fact, he is quite regretful in his heart. Bringing up this article, in fact, he is indeed sinister.

If it was just to report a general number of household registrations to the imperial court, there was no need to compile households and gather the people, and he did this to prepare for the future change of land and return to the stream. But at this time, the Empress Dowager was already suspicious, and if he insisted on accurate statistics, he was afraid that it would cause the Empress Dowager to be even more suspicious, which would affect the overall situation. So Liu Ruozai had no choice but to agree with the Queen Mother's statement first, and as for this matter, he could only figure it out slowly.

He's not in a hurry, anyway, there's time.

"Fourth." Liu Ruozai stretched out another finger.

The Empress Dowager's face changed, and she said unhappily: "Why are there so many conditions?" ”

"This is the last one." Liu Ruozai was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, it is better to say it now than to add it endlessly in the future, right?" Isn't this a demonstration of my sincerity? ”

The Empress Dowager smiled noncommittally.

"The fourth article is about the sword soldiers." Liu Ruozai said slowly.

As soon as he heard him mention the word sword soldier, the Empress Dowager's expression became cautious.

Bing Ge is a major matter of the country, since the Chahar Ministry has been subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, it is natural that the two sides will change from military confrontation to military cooperation, but how to cooperate, then it has to be pondered, studied and studied.

"Your ministry has now returned to the Ming Dynasty, and we have negotiated before, your ministry will move to the Xiashui Sea, so that your ministry will naturally not attack the Ming border pass again. Right? Liu Ruozai said.

"Hmm." The Empress Dowager nodded: "From now on, I am a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never do anything to disturb me again." ”

"It's so good." Liu Ruozai smiled: "In this way, the Ming Dynasty can transfer more troops to Jizhen, Liaodong and other places, the army will press the border, and the fall of Jiannu is just around the corner!" ”

What Liu Ruozai mentioned actually pointed out another extremely important chain reaction caused by the subduing of the Chahar Ministry.

At the beginning, the Chahar Department was in the south of the desert and peeked into the Central Plains, so that the Ming Dynasty had to deploy a large number of troops in these important towns of the Nine Border Defense Line.

It can be said that Gansu Town, Ningxia Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town and other border towns were actually set up to guard against Monan Mongolia represented by the Chahar Department, and they had to maintain a large number of troops here to guard against their invasion of the Central Plains.

And now, the submission of the Chahar tribe will also lead more Mongolian tribes to submit, and the threat of Monan Mongolia is still there, but it has been sharply reduced, and it is not as good as before.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty could appropriately reduce the number of troops in these border towns, put more troops into the battlefield of fighting Jiannu, or transfer them to the Central Plains to suppress the peasant uprising.

Of course, more troop input can certainly improve the situation, but it is difficult to say to what extent. As for the situation of the collapse of the army and the fall of Jiannu as Liu Ruozai expected, it is almost impossible to occur. The battlefield with Jiannu is protracted and difficult, and it cannot be solved by investing more troops. What's more, most of the troops in these military towns cannot be called elite.
