Li Qing was a bit of a liar, but he wasn't just talking nonsense.
The situation in Wala is indeed dangerous. If things continue to develop at this rate, it will only be a matter of time before they are overwhelmed.
This is a sure thing!
And Li Qing will not allow Oara to be defeated. Once that happens, Mongolia will inevitably be unified. Although the Ming Dynasty can also contain it, the cost will undoubtedly be greater, and the effect will be far less than what it is now.
"What should I do?" Boyan Timur was a little anxious.
Li Qing smiled slightly: "Easy, fight!"
Boyan Timur frowned: "Who to hit?"
"Hit anyone you don't like," Li Qing said. "The purpose of beating is to increase your prestige. Now that Wala's overall strength is the strongest in the grassland, why don't you just hit whoever you want?"
"Would this... make me too hated?" Boyan Timur hesitated.
As Li Qing said, Wala has always been unpopular with the locals. If this war starts without distinction, it will be even more difficult in the future.
"King Shunning's words are wrong." Li Qing shook his head, "The stronger and more ferocious Wala appears, the more shocking it is to people's hearts. Strength is practiced on the grassland. Whoever has the strongest fist will be the king!
And using troops externally is always the best choice to resolve internal conflicts. "
After a pause, Li Qing continued: "Through war, Wala's strength can be pushed to a higher level. As the strength increases, those who were originally half-hearted will become more convinced of you;
Because without you, not only will life be difficult, but you will also have to worry about being liquidated, so they will only become more loyal. "
Boyan Timur nodded slowly: "Continuously launching wars can indeed solve the problem to a great extent and make Wala stronger and stronger, but... the cost is also huge."
He sighed: "Even with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Oara tribe cannot afford it!"
"It doesn't matter. Daming can lend you part of the money first, and then pay it back slowly after you solve the problem." Li Qing said, "In addition, Daming can also provide you with firearms, large quantities of firearms."
Boyan Timur was startled, and then he was ecstatic. With the blessing of artillery, they, who already had an advantage in the war, would surely be destroyed.
However, there was something untrue in his heart.
"Da Ming...Why are you helping Wala so much?"
Li Qing smiled: "Didn't Ming support Wala for so many years?"
Boyan Timur was startled, this is the truth.
Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has not helped Oara in the slightest. Without the help of the Ming Dynasty, Oara would have been killed by the Tatars who were at their peak in the past.
Li Qing said: "People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret stories. King Shun Ning clearly thought about the purpose of Ming Dynasty in supporting Wala, so King Shun Ning need not doubt Ming Dynasty's intentions.
Ming Dynasty will not harm you. The loss of grasslands will do more harm than good to Ming Dynasty. ”óΠъ.oяＧ
Li Qing said seriously: "We have a common enemy, and Wala is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. If we don't help you, who will we help?"
Boyan Timur nodded slightly, no longer doubting Daming's sincerity.
Immediately, he became a little worried and tentatively said: "If Wala unified the grassland, then..."
"That would be better." Li Qing said with a smile, "Of course the Ming Dynasty hopes that the Oara tribe will rule the grassland, and the monarch and his ministers will be as close as one family, wouldn't it be better?"
This is pure deception. For Ming Dynasty, no matter who unifies the grassland, it is unacceptable.
For now, a grassland that is constantly fighting is a healthy grassland.
If they didn't use their strength in internal fighting, they would have to use their strength on the border with the Ming Dynasty.
And this is still not Li Qing's ultimate goal.
His real purpose is only one,
——Engage in fusion!
When Wala caused a bloody storm on the grassland, Ming Dynasty could come out and pretend to be a good person, so that they could quickly fall into the arms of Ming Dynasty, thus appeasing the grassland tribes more efficiently.
Li Qing is very confident, because as long as Boyan Timur does what he says, Wala will not only solve its internal problems, but also gradually become stronger.
As Wala becomes more and more fierce, the living space of many tribes in the grasslands will be further compressed. By then, the Ming Dynasty will only need to provide some benefits.
For example, the tribal leader who came to seek refuge was treated as an official.
Don’t worry about no one coming to join you!
When the number of defectors reaches a certain level, they can begin to expand to Mobei, and then include the entire grassland into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this takes a long time, even several generations, but this method is the most worry-free, cost-effective, and labor-saving, and the Ming Dynasty never directly sent troops from beginning to end, and it will not cause strong resistance in the grassland.
Because Daming has always played the role of a good guy.
Only in this way can we achieve long-term peace and stability!
Life is like a play, some people play the good guys and some people play the bad guys. Since there is always someone to play the bad guy, you might as well let Vala do it.
Li Qing wants Ming to play a good guy!
As for whether Wala will grow and unify the grasslands, Li Qing is not worried at all.
Just kidding, how many people are there in Wala headquarters?
The grassland has a population of several million, and just the few people there are simply not enough to see.
To take a step back, even if the Wala really grew up, the Ming Dynasty would only need to cut off trade, and the Wala in the grassland would be defeated thousands of miles away.
So...no need to worry at all.
Expanding the territory is not as simple as talking about it, especially now that the Ming Dynasty is in a period of peace, not the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty. It is not rational or cost-effective to use violent means to expand the territory.
Even if the expansion is tough, it will bring about a lot of problems.
The only thing Li Qing could think of was this relatively mild method.
Although it takes a long time, it is more reliable.
Next, Li Qing pointed out a clear path for Boyan Timur on the future development direction of Wala.
Li Qing was using Wala, but he was not completely unconcerned about it. He was sincere in not letting Wala die.
Although he was doing it for the Ming Dynasty, he could also benefit Wala.
Boyan Timur is not as evil as Li Qing, not to mention him, even the elite people in the court are not Li Qing's opponents.
After listening to Li Qing's theory, I exclaimed in my heart: Wow, Wow, Wow.
As long as we follow the development route set by Li, Nawala will become even stronger in the future.
The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more interested, and finally ended up drinking again.
Li Qing smiled and said: "You send people and Ming Dynasty pays for the stability of the grassland. Let's do it!"
"Dry!"
Boyan Timur raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, but ignored that the money given by Daming was not given in vain, it had to be repaid.
But having said that, even so, Boyan Timur will not have any complaints, because this is indeed the best choice to solve internal problems and strengthen Oara.
…
Li Qing stayed for three days. During this period, Boyan Timur entertained and ate well. The two parties talked about everything and finally settled on a detailed and feasible plan.
On the day he left, Boyan Timur personally sent him off three hundred miles away.
~
Ten days later, Li Qing and his party reunited with the large army.
Before he could have a good sleep, Shi Biao stuck to him and asked him to take out the remaining hand.
In fact, Li Qing had nothing to teach, so he taught Shi Biao the technique of breathing and nourishing Qi.
To be precise, this is not Kung Fu, but health preservation.
But Shi Biao felt like he had found a treasure. Nothing else. Practicing this could make him full of energy and energy.
After sending Shi Biao away, Li Qing was able to relax and spend the whole day enjoying the beautiful scenery on the grassland.
Thinking that the grassland would be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, his good mood became even better.
…
With his family and his family behind him, the march was pitifully slow. It took more than two months to get back to the capital.
It was already July when Li Qing arrived home.
Without time to rest, he changed his clothes and entered the palace, telling Zhu Qiyu the whole journey to the grassland.
After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Sir, this plan is very clever and wonderful! With this, the Ming Dynasty will definitely incorporate the grassland into the Ming Dynasty territory."
His heart is surging and his blood is boiling. Opening up territory and expanding territory is always the emperor's first pursuit.
Any achievements pale in comparison to the expansion of territory.
Especially, this territory is still the vast Mobei grassland, who wouldn't be excited?
This is an achievement that neither Taizu nor Taizong achieved!
Based on this alone, Zhu Qiyu will have a place among the promising kings in future history books.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Qing with sincere and serious eyes:
"Sir, I will reward you, reward you heavily."
"No need," Li Qing waved his hand, "I don't care about that."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Whether you like it or not is your business, whether you reward it or not is my business!"
Li Qing is not the kind of person who has trouble getting along with money. If the emperor insists on rewarding him, he must give him some face, right?
"How much gold will the emperor reward me?"
"Gold?" Zhu Qiyu said flatly, "Too light and too vulgar!"
I just like vulgar things... Li Qing asked doubtfully: "Then what does the emperor want to reward me?"
"Hou Yongqing!"
