"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I have no objections to this!"
"His Majesty the Great Emperor, Chen Babu has no objections and is willing to sign and seal it immediately!"
There were many harsh conditions in the treaty, but the future Chahar Khan and Tumote Khan did not show any dissatisfaction, because in addition to various harsh conditions, the treaty also stipulated that the Ming court would grant rewards to two people every year. The amount of property in the Great Khanate!
Starting from the year when the two great khanates moved to Mobei, the Chahar Khanate and the Tumote Khanate could each receive a reward of 360,000 taels of silver from the Ming court every year - these rewards would be paid in the form of banknotes from the Ministry of Household Affairs. (The check) is issued in full amount without any department fees or a penny of rebate. The two major khanates can withdraw corresponding amounts of silver at Maritime Bank and Salt Merchant Bank with their checks. However, they could not bring the silver back to the grassland. Instead, they had to purchase items, pay freight or other related expenses within the direct provincial territory of the Ming Dynasty.
As for what the two khanates can buy? The Ming court would issue a list of restrictions - not everything can be bought! However, as long as it is not on the list, it is allowed to be purchased.
In addition, the khans of the two major khanates will be awarded the title of Prince of the Ming Dynasty and will be given the title of Laoshan in Nanjing. The prince of the Khanate will not be granted land, but will receive a corresponding salary, which is about ten thousand taels of silver a year. This money will be used to maintain the royal palace and the expenses of the Khan's heirs or other heirs while serving as hostages in the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, the two khanates can receive a total of 740,000 taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty as a reward every year!
What a fortune!
Of course, the Chahar Khanate and the Tumut Khanate were both vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and they also had to pay tribute to their overlord, the Ming Dynasty. But their tribute was a symbolic "Nine White Tribute", that is, each of the two khanates handed over eight white horses and one white camel every year.
Nine worthless animals were exchanged for 370,000 taels. Babu and Abu Nai would be stupid not to sign this kind of treaty!
These 740,000 taels are not all the money that Zhu Cihong used to earn money in the Mongolian lands of northern Xinjiang. Emperor Zhu still has to spend hundreds of thousands of taels every year on the great lamas from Tibet, and also on Zhungeer in the northwest. A large subsidy for the Ministry - the reward for the Zhungeer Ministry is temporarily set at 400,000 taels per year!
In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also station a small number of troops in important places in the Chahar Khanate, Tumed Khanate, and Jungar Khanate (not yet established). This is another huge expense!
Just to maintain these three Mongolian vassals, Emperor Zhu Da had to spend nearly two million taels of silver a year, and this kind of loss-making business was simply a bottomless pit, and he had to pay endless losses!
Not to mention machine guns and railways, even with atomic bombs, the territory ruled by the Yellow Sect Mongolia is still a "compensation", and the compensation is even more - how much is two million taels of silver? It’s only over 30 million. If we only pay this amount, the leaders of the great powers in future generations will be able to laugh out of their dreams...
However, the two million taels of silver now are not the more than 30 million US dollars of later generations. Two million taels now is a huge sum of money. Even Zhu Cixiang, who was the best at plundering in the history of the Ming Dynasty, felt very sad when he thought of this expense. .
And of course such a large sum of money cannot be thrown away casually!
Emperor Zhu breathed out, smiled and said to the two Mongolian Khans: "The rewards of the Ming Dynasty are given to those who have the ability! The treaty for granting rewards is given to you, but if you want to get the reward, you must first defeat the Kabul." The three Erkha tribes have a foothold in Mobei, because this reward is given to the Chahar Khanate and Tumote Khanate in Mobei!
Do you two understand? "
The Chahar tribe and the Tumote tribe are not worth that much money, but as long as they can return to Mobei and defeat the three Khalkha tribes, it will be worth the price!
Without their efforts, Emperor Zhu would not have been able to defeat the three Khalkha tribes - this was not nonsense made by Emperor Zhu himself, but the unanimous view of Zhu Cijiong, the acting king who knew the reality of Mongolia, and Wu Sangui, the Duke of Liang.
The reason is also very simple. Mobei is too big, the three Khalkha tribes are nomadic tribes, erratic, and the Ming cavalry itself has no nomadic ability, so it cannot stay in Mobei for a long time. They could only blindly carry out a short northern expedition based on the outdated information they obtained (there were no telegraphs these days, and the Ming army stationed in Monan knew that the information about the three tribes in Mobei must be outdated). Hide and seek with the Ming army on the grassland. As long as they hide for thirty to fifty days and wait for the Ming army to run out of food, they can win without a fight.
Therefore, if we want to defeat the three tribes, we can only arm the Chahar and Tumote tribes in Monan and let them go north to Mobei. They themselves are nomadic tribes, and once they go north, they can stay for a long time. Once Chahar and Tumut are nomadic in Mobei, the three Khalkha tribes will not be able to "float" - they will not leave and have occupied the most fertile pastures of the three tribes. Where else can the three tribes hide? ? When the time comes, they will either fight to the death or run away...
And once the three parts of Khalkha are finished, Horqin will also have to finish it, or get out together!
Because the west and northwest of the Horqin tribe have become the enemy Chahar tribe, the Horqin tribe can no longer "float", and there is only a dead end for the Daning army and the Chahar Khanate to attack from a pincer attack!
Therefore, the northward movement of the Chahar tribe and the Tumote tribe should help the Ming Dynasty settle the three Khalkha tribes and the Horqin tribe, and by the way, Daning (occupying the former land of Horqin), Anbei (occupying the former land of Tumote), The four towns of Shuofang (occupying the former place of Ordos) and Beiping (occupying the former places of Chahar, Xilingol, and Zhaowuda) took over large tracts of land.
Once the two towns of Daning and Beiping are set up, Duduo's Anton Protectorate will be attacked from three sides!
"I understand, I understand!"
"Please rest assured, Great Emperor, we will definitely defeat the Mobei Tribe, because the Mobei Tribe is very weak and is no match for our Monan Mongolia!"
Seeing that the two Mongolian princes were full of confidence, Emperor Zhu had nothing to say. Everyone knew that the three Mobei tribes were weak, while the Chahar tribe and the Tumote tribe would also receive Shuofang, Anbei, Beiping, and Daning. With the help of the Fourth Army and a lot of arms assistance from the Ming court, they should not lose to the Mobei Tribe and the Horqin Tribe.
The two Mongolian Khans finally left with smiles on their faces, but Zhu Cihong's loss-making business was not over yet!
A total of eight "creditors" including Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Yujian, Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Shang Kexi, Kong Tingxun, and Choros Chuhu'erwubashi from Zhungeer tribe, all held the bills and laughed. Waiting to ask the Ming Emperor for payment!
If they don’t have tens of millions a year, don’t even think about sending them away!
Emperor Zhu now understands Xuande's reasons for shrinking... It's all because he has no money! After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, the court was far away from the economic center. At the same time, in order to supply Beijing with grain and rice, it had to work hard to maintain the canal and go to the bottomless pit of the Huanghuai flood. The financial problem will definitely become more and more serious!
If Mr. Xuanmiao was like Zhu Cixiang, with an income of hundreds of millions a year, he would definitely not give up even an inch of land!
However, although Zhu Cixiang was rich, he could not open up the compensation, otherwise he would lose money to Ming Dynasty sooner or later!
"King Xuan Dai, Huang Degong, and Gao Jie come to the palace!" Zhu Cixiang named the three "creditors" in one breath.
The acting king Zhu Cijiong was originally the governor of Shuofang, but now he is moving to Datong to serve as the governor of Anbei. Huang Degong was originally the military governor of Huaibei, but now he wants to move to Daning to seize Horqin's territory. Gao Jie was originally the Jiedushi of Xuhai, but now he will move to Xuanfu and serve as the Jiedushi of Peiping - the Jiedushi of Peiping governs the territory of the Peiping Dusi, excluding Shuntian Prefecture.
The large-scale transfer of the three vassals, coupled with the military operations they sent to support the northward march of the Chahar and Tumote tribes, together they amounted to astronomical expenses!
So Emperor Zhu had to settle accounts with the three of them... He couldn't let these three debt lords be too fierce, and at the same time, he couldn't let the three of them lose their money.
Otherwise, once the three vassals of Anbei, Daning, and Peking went bankrupt, Ming's northern stability would be in trouble.
