Ai You felt extremely humiliated in his heart, but he did not dare to pause at all. He knew that he could survive this life only because he was obedient. If he disobeyed Zhu Han even a little bit, these ferocious Ming soldiers would definitely kill him. Cut the corpse into thousands of pieces.
Because, just a few days ago, many tough-boned Mongolian nobles refused to surrender and had been cut into pieces by Zhu Han's order.
Today, their heads are still hanging on pillars outside the Ming army camp.
This great victory of the Ming army at Yuerhai not only defeated the military power of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but also greatly destroyed the confidence of the grassland tribes in the Mongol Khan.
After all, even the Mongolian Khan Aiyou had been captured by the Ming army, and the Chagan Sulu ingot was also captured by the Ming army!
From then on, whenever the Ming army was mentioned on the grassland, all the grassland tribes would be frightened.
Zhu Han certainly knew that conquering the Mongolian nomadic tribes was not an easy task, but such a big victory was enough to make him feel very gratified.
The Ming army celebrated in Yuerhai for three days.
Later, Zhu Han led his troops back south.
Several Ming army fortresses on the way back were greatly praised by Zhu Han for their bravery in resisting Tuoin Timur's sneak attack!
Among them, Luo Guanzhong, the commander of Yingchang Guard who made the greatest contribution, was highly commended by Zhu Han throughout the army.
"Commander Luo Guanzhong, you have defeated more with less several times in a row, you are brave and resourceful!"
"At the beginning, I joined the army as a soldier, but now I am an absolute brave general!"
In fact, this time he was able to defeat more with less, and Luo Guanzhong felt that he did not exert much commanding ability.
The victory of this battle was all due to the Ming army soldiers from top to bottom who sacrificed their lives.
Whether they were Han soldiers, Jurchen soldiers, or even Mongolian soldiers, they all showed the courage to fight to the death and defeated enemies ten times their size!
Zhu Han looked at the remaining scenes near Prairie Fort, which showed how fierce the battle was at that time.
He continued to say to Luo Guanzhong, "My Ming Dynasty's victory over Mobei is not an end, but only a beginning!"
"I have decided to set up the Mobei Protectorate here in Mobei!"
"It's up to you, Luo Guanzhong, to be the first Grand Protector of the Mobei Protectorate!"
Zhu Han's words immediately made Luo Guanzhong extremely excited.
Generally speaking, according to the rank order of generals in the Ming army, being promoted from the commander of a guard post to the governor of a military governor's palace can be said to have won several levels in a row.
The status of the Great Protector is almost at the same level as the deputy position of the Xingdu Division.
In other words, Luo Guanzhong rose from a guard post commander to a frontier army boss on an equal footing with Guo Ying and others!
Not only that, Zhu Han's subsequent order made all the Prairie Fort soldiers cheer with excitement.
I saw Zhu Han leaping forward on his horse, waving his hand and saying to a group of Ming army soldiers.
"All the soldiers of the Third Prairie Fort, you are now a member of the Mobei Protectorate!"
"Everyone is promoted to three levels in a row, the lowest is third-level sergeant!"
.
.
.
Since the Mobei Protectorate was established here, the name of 'Prairie Castle' was naturally changed.
Zhu Han changed the name of 'Prairie Fort' to 'Mobei Fort' as the residence of the Mobei Protectorate.

The size of the Mobei Protectorate cannot be just such a small fortress.
Zhu Han's plan was to expand the fortress of the Mobei Protectorate tenfold. By then, five thousand troops could be stationed in it, including food, grass, clothes, cotton clothes, medicines, and horses that could be stocked and supplied to tens of thousands of people.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
This is definitely a huge project on the Mobei grassland!
Generals such as Guo Ying, Qi Xiang, and Zhou Dexing were all shocked when they heard Zhu Han's plan.
"If His Highness builds such a large fortress in Mobei, I'm afraid he won't be able to get it without hundreds of thousands of dollars!" Zhou Dexing said with a surprised look on his face.
Guo Ying also advised from the side, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. It is really not easy to transport building materials and other items from the Monan Grassland to here!"
Zhu Han naturally did not pay attention to the doubts of the generals.
He smiled and said, "Of course I know it's not easy, but if we don't build this fortress in Mobei, the fruits of today's victory in Yuerhai will one day be lost!"
"So, the Mobei Protectorate Fortress must be built, and it must be built very firmly, like a nail, nailed to the Mobei grassland!"
"I want all the nomadic tribes on the grassland, just like the tribes in Monan, to bow to the Ming Dynasty and obey orders!"
Zhu Han already had his own ideas on how to manage the grassland and control various grassland tribes.
The establishment of the Mobei Protectorate is only the first step.
After so many days of marching, the Ming army had lost almost all of its food and grass supplies.
After replenishing supplies at the Mobei Fortress, Zhu Han led his Ming army soldiers southward across the Gobi Desert and returned to the North Parallel Capital Division.
As soon as he returned to the capital of Peking, Zhu Han immediately sent people to send the news of the victory over Yuerhai and the captured Emperor Aiyou of the Meng Yuan Dynasty to Yingtian Mansion in the capital.
Zhu Han naturally knew how much shock and glory this news would bring to the people of Ming Dynasty!
Just inside the city of Beiping, there was already a scene of joy!
The celebrations of firecrackers and gongs and drums from morning to night actually resounded for three days and three nights.
In the fourth year of Hongwu, Beiping.
After the great victory in Mobei, Zhu Han ordered all armies to rest and regroup in Beiping.
The captured Aiyou and others had been transported to Yingtian Mansion in a prison car under Zhu Han's order.
As for the other Mongolian nobles, Zhu Han applied with his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang to stay in Peiping.
Because these captured Mongolian nobles are of great use to Zhu Han!
In the early morning of October, the cool autumn wind has already invaded the bone marrow.
The backyard of Prince Ying's Mansion in Peking was as warm as spring. Warm wine was boiling on the stoves. Zhu Han, Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing, Qi Xiang and others gathered to drink together again.
Since a few days ago, there has been deep and heavy snow on the grassland.
Generally speaking, as long as it snows on the grasslands, there is basically no possibility of large-scale wars.
What's more, the Monan grasslands are full of fortresses built by the Ming army, and there are no Mongols who can threaten Peiping.
Therefore, when the Ming army rested in Peiping, they naturally had a small drink every three days and a gathering on the fifth day.

"Your Highness, there is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask more!" Guo Ying asked Zhu Han, smelling of wine.
"Oh, what's the matter? Just ask." Zhu Han said nonchalantly.
As several veteran-level generals who raised troops together, Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing and others naturally made Zhu Han very friendly and approachable.
"Your Highness, why don't those Mongolian wine bags and rice bags be sent to Yingtian to beheaded and sacrificed to the ancestral temple, instead of being left here in Peiping to enjoy spicy food every day? I heard that Song Lian, the governor of Peking Prefecture, recently He also made several Mongolian Tatars his disciples and followed him every day to dance and write. This is to spoil the Tatars!" Guo Ying said sadly.
Although Guo Ying drank a lot of wine, there was no confusion in his heart.
These were all complaints he heard from the soldiers of the Ming Army on daily basis.
The soldiers in the Battle of Mobei naturally hated Meng Yuan. They were naturally dissatisfied when they saw that the Mongolian prisoners were living a good life in Peiping.
However, these soldiers all knew that His Royal Highness could not do anything wrong, so they all blamed Song Lian, the prefect of Beiping.
"Haha, I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this!" Zhu Han laughed after hearing this.
In fact, Zhu Han could understand the doubts that the Ming army soldiers had.
For thousands of years, almost all the princes and nobles whose countries were destroyed had no good ending.
However, these captured Mongolian nobles lived a good life in Peking. How could they not make the soldiers angry?
"Your Highness, what's the deep meaning?" Guo Ying asked quickly.
Zhou Dexing, Qi Xiang and other generals also stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhu Han in unison.
Zhu Han said with a smile: "Our victory in Yuerhai is just a military victory. If we want to completely conquer this grassland, we must find a way to conquer them in the hearts of others!"
"So these Mongolian nobles must be left behind, because the herdsmen on the grasslands are all rough guys who don't know what government and courts are. They only recognize their own tribal leaders and nobles!"
"If we kill all these prisoners, then to issue orders on the grassland, we have to go to each tribe through our own people. If we don't understand the language and customs, we will be in big trouble!"
"And if these Mongolian nobles are recruited under the command of my Ming Dynasty, when the time comes, these people will obey and obey the orders, and the herders of various tribes under their rule will become loyal and obedient subjects of my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han's words made Guo Ying, Zhou Dexing and others nod in agreement.
But Qi Xiang saw some shortcomings in this statement.
"Your Highness, although I haven't read much, I have seen some records in history books. When the Tang Dynasty conquered the Turks, it also surrendered many Turkic nobles, including the Turkic Jieli Khan who also became Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. loyal and obedient subjects, but not long after, the grassland tribes no longer obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty adopts this strategy, won't there be a risk of the grassland tribes rebelling again in the future?" Qi Xiang said worriedly .
Regarding Qi Xiang's question, Zhu Han was not only not angry, but also showed a very pleased smile.
He nodded first, and then patiently explained to the generals.

[Da Ming: Brother, monks have no future, let’s rebel] []
"I have already thought about this matter."
"My Ming Dynasty ruled the grassland. Although we borrowed elements from the Tang Dynasty, we must do a better job than the Tang Dynasty."
"So the Mobei Protectorate and the Beiping Dusi are the key to it!"
"Although the Tang Dynasty also established some government offices to control the grassland tribes, such as the Mobei Protector's Office and the Songmo Protector's Office, in the final analysis, they were still some Ji Mi Mansion with loose governance methods."
"The Mobei Protectorate I have set up now and our Peking Parallel Command are different from those of the Tang Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty not only had to station troops and build strong castles in the military, but also exerted the strongest influence and control on the grassland in terms of economy and people's livelihood."
Zhu Han's plan was to turn Peiping into a wealthy nest to control the spirits of these Mongolian nobles.
Use the prosperous and prosperous life in Peiping to make these Mongolian nobles admire the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly.
Then, these Mongolian nobles can be allowed to live in Beiping on weekdays, and their power on the grassland can be gradually controlled by some of their slaves.
In this way, the Mongolian nobles became puppets in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
This also provided the grassroots legal basis for the Ming Dynasty to rule the grasslands.
The Ming Dynasty then cooperated with its own caravans and the garrison of the Protectorate to transport large quantities of Central Plains materials to the tribes in the grasslands in a fair transaction.
These measures can not only control the hearts of the grassland tribes.
These living supplies can also be used to allow various tribes to get rid of the troubles caused by the scarcity of supplies.
After listening to Zhu Han's statement, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying, Qi Xiang and others gave thumbs up and praised in unison.
"Your Highness indeed has a far-reaching plan, I will admire you!"
"Your Highness, you are a genius!"
"Your Highness is very clever. From now on, no barbarian on the grassland will dare to disobey the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han's strategy can be called an unsolvable conspiracy.
The basis of the strategy is actually to use the endless national power and prestige of the Ming Dynasty to surrender the princes and nobles first, so that while they can enjoy the wealthy life of the Ming Dynasty, they can obediently and gradually hand over their rights to the tribes in the grasslands.
Their power can be exchanged for their happy rich life in Peking, which can be regarded as a peaceful evolution.
Historically, Tsarist Russia used this method to firmly control the various local nomadic tribes in its hands during its expansion to the east and Central Asia.
However, Zhu Han's strategy was still higher than that of Tsarist Russia back then.
The Tsarist Russia of later generations was, after all, a foreign European, and its ability to assimilate the nomadic peoples of Central and North Asia was much poorer.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is powerful in all directions. Zhu Han's combination of Huairou's first method and big stick policy will surely achieve more outstanding results on the grassland.
.
.
In the streets of Goulan Washi in Beiping, Enke is the leader of a Mobei grassland tribe.
His ancestor was the brother of Genghis Khan Temujin, who had been named the leader of the Hesagar tribe in the grassland for generations.
When Enke's generation arrived, although he did not inherit the position of Hesagar Khan, he was allocated a lot of pasture and tribes, and he could be regarded as a medium-sized Mongolian nobleman.

[Da Ming: Brother, monks have no future, let’s rebel] []
In the previous battle of Yuerhai, Enke was captured by the Ming army.
Because he had a strong ability to adapt to the situation, he did not adopt a arrogant attitude towards the Ming army's interrogation and resisted to the end.
Therefore, when the Ming army killed chickens to scare monkeys, Enke was not involved.
After arriving in Peiping, Enke, a Mongolian nobleman who grew up on the Mobei grasslands, was immediately attracted by the prosperous and prosperous scene of Peking in front of him.
Although Peiping was the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty, after two years of construction by Zhu Han, today's Peiping City is even more prosperous and prosperous.
The streets are lined with rows of shops and bustling with activity.
The Ming Dynasty people on the street all had red faces and happy smiles on their faces.
The strong aroma of food and the lively noise made Enke, the leader of the Mobei nomadic tribe, fully understand what prosperity is.
In particular, Song Lian, the prefect of Peiping in the Ming Dynasty, often sent people to take them sightseeing in and around Peiping City. Within a few days, Enke, an old man, had already regarded Peiping City as a paradise.
No!
Peiping, where there is no war, is a fairyland several times better than heaven!
Enke and other leaders of the grassland tribes quickly integrated into the prosperous and prosperous life in Peiping.
In just two months, Enke learned the Peking way of life.
He first selected delicious food from the shops along the street.
