Before Banshu changed the land and returned to the stream, the imperial court granted the local Tusi the official position, and the Tusi still retained the right to rule the local area.

"You mean, we are granted the official position of the imperial court, but the Chahar Ministry is still in our charge, right?"

The Empress Dowager asked.

"Roughly so, but there are some subtle differences." Liu Ruozai didn't hide it, and said very bluntly: "If you have anything to say, the official will say it directly, the Chahar Department has just belonged, and there must be people in the court who are worried." If it were exactly the Banshu rule, it would be unlikely. Therefore, it is very likely that the imperial court will send a cadre and several of his subordinates to the Chahar department. ”

Liu Ruozai didn't say exactly what he was sending this official to Chahar to do, but he could naturally guess it with the wisdom of the Empress Dowager. Needless to say, the primary task is definitely surveillance, and the secondary task is control and infiltration.

This kind of thing is well known to everyone, and it is not interesting to hide it.

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, just nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Liu Ruozai asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes." The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Third, I don't know what the materials we need from the Chahar Department?" ”

"It is impossible to transfer it directly, and the imperial court is also very difficult now."

Liu Ruozai said: "However, there must be rewards for all the blessings and nobles, and besides, the Ming side can also reopen the trade route, and the caravan leading to the sea will not be cut off in the future." Your ministry can communicate directly with these merchants. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, which was also expected by her.

The most critical and core questions she wants to ask are just these three, and the rest are some small and trivial things, so there is no need for her to talk to Liu Ruozai one by one, that is what her subordinates do.

At this point, her request is considered to be finished.

Liu Ruozai said with a smile: "Now it's time to talk about the requirements of our imperial court for the Chahar Department." ”

In fact, the imperial court did not have any requirements for the Chahar Ministry at all, because before Liu Ruozai came, no one knew whether the Chahar Ministry could be persuaded to surrender, and the order given by the imperial court to Liu Ruozai did not specifically indicate what conditions the Chahar Ministry needed to agree to. There are even some hints in words: as long as we can make the Chahar tribe surrender, we will be fine if we suffer a little loss.

Putting forward conditions for the Chahar Ministry is purely Liu Ruozai's own assertion. If it is according to the will of the imperial court, if you can't follow the Chahar Department for everything, where will you put forward conditions?

The reason is very simple.

First, it's for fame. Although the court gave Liu Ruozai that kind of hint, it was not explicitly stated after all. If Liu Ruozai goes back, as soon as the court announces it to the outside world, some people will take a look at it and drink it, and give so many benefits to the Chahar Ministry, and we haven't caught it at all, what does this mean? Are you Liu Ruozai a traitor? Did you take the benefits of the Chahars? In the late Ming Dynasty, there were a lot of mad dogs who only knew how to bite around, and if they were really bitten, Liu Ruozai's reputation would inevitably be greatly damaged. Perhaps the imperial court was under pressure. and blame him.

The second is to make the errand beautiful. If it is calculated according to the standard of the exam, Liu Ruozai has now achieved this step, and let the Chahar Department return to the Ming Dynasty, and he has already scored 100 points in the exam. Absolutely perfect marks, because what he has done, has met the highest requirements of the imperial court. But he wanted to get a score of 120! Do it more beautifully in the imperial court, so that the imperial court will pay more attention to him.

The first and the second are actually one, but they face different people. The first is to silence some people, and the second is for the government to see.

The Empress Dowager arrived: "Lord Liu, please speak." ”

"First, the Queen Mother, as well as several other nobles from the Fujin and Chahar Departments, must go to Beijing City to meet my Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

"Okay, no problem, that's the way it should be." The Empress Dowager agreed very simply.

As soon as she agreed, Liu Ruozai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, this is one of his most important and core conditions.

Why? Because this move is about Daming's face! And His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers of the court, what they value most is face, that is, decency!

Especially in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the imperial court is always disgraced, and there are not many times to raise their eyebrows, but now, it is obviously an excellent opportunity.

Drink, the Chahar Department has surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, and the nobles of Lin Dan Khan's Fujin and Chahar Ministry, are coming to worship His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! How face-saving is it to say this? Doesn't it mean that I will face the majesty of the country tomorrow and conquer the four empires? The people will also praise His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom and martial arts, and the ministers of the court and the central government are able to do things!

This is a big deal for Daming, and it can be talked about by Liu Ruozai as the most core condition, but for the Queen Mother, this is nothing! They didn't think that this kind of behavior was very shameful, on the contrary, the Empress Dowager was still willing to do it, because she would definitely get a lot of rewards from Daming.

That's the real benefit.

Daming wants to save face, and the Chahar Department is affordable, which is exactly a hit!

If this condition is achieved, the dignity of the court will be there in the future, and the court will have face, so it is certain that Liu Ruozai will be praised for his ability.

Liu Ruozai also knows a lot about these people in the Chahar Department, so it was also expected that the Empress Dowager would agree to this.

"Article 2." Liu Ruozai said with a smile: "It's about the relationship between the Chahar Ministry and the Ming Dynasty and Houjin in the future. ”

He paused and continued: "Since you have surrendered to our Da Ming, the relationship with Houjin will naturally have to be broken. In the future, they shall not sell any horses or other materials to Houjin, and all relations shall be severed. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded: "It should be so." ”

"And it's with us Daming." Liu Ruozai said: "At that time, some cavalry will be transferred from your department to join our Ming army." Of course, we are responsible for all the weapons and armor of the cavalry, and we also supply the food, and we can get the military salary. ”

He thought that the Empress Dowager would object, but he didn't expect the Empress Dowager to clapped her hands happily and said with a smile: "This is a good thing!" I'm worried, after returning to the Ming Dynasty in the future, there will be no war, no enemy, and the sons and daughters will not be able to fight! ”

Liu Ruozai couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, sighing in his heart, sure enough, the two of them were not very different.

"There is also the need to provide war horses for Daming." Liu Ruozai said.

The Empress Dowager smiled on her face and became serious: "Yes, you can, but you have to buy it, you can't give it away for nothing." ”

"Good!" Liu Ruozai said: "We must buy it, and we can't take advantage of you." But there is a rule, in the future, the purchase and sale of horses must be officially managed. It is necessary to set up a special yamen, which is responsible for reviewing the horses and distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages of the horses, and the inferior horses can be sold to merchants, and the good horses that can be used as war horses can only be sold to the imperial court! All the war horses must be handled from this yamen. Dong Ce listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart. Liu Ruozai's move can be described as killing four birds with one stone!
