It is not difficult to send people to contact the various Mongolian tribes. Among the Qing troops who have been captured in the past, many are Mongolians. It is not a problem to ask them to go back and send a message.
There is no doubt whether the Mongolian ministries can be persuaded to cooperate with the Qin Dynasty and stab the Jurchens from behind.
As long as the Qin Dynasty maintains its military advantage over the Manchu Qing and continues to weaken the Jurchens, even if it does not send people to contact the Mongols, I believe they will no longer be willing to surrender to the Jurchens.
On the grassland, the living environment is harsh. If you want to survive, you must follow the principle of the weak and the strong, and make up for your own lack of living materials by annexing others. It is a world where the strong respects the strong.
The reason why the Jurchens were able to make the Mongols surrender was that they continued to win in the war against the Ming Dynasty, continued to grow stronger, and surpassed the Mongols in strength.
Now with the decline in the Jurchens' strength, even if tomorrow it is reported that the Mongols stabbed the Jurchens in the back, it will not be surprising.
Now Great Qin cannot only focus on the Jurchens, but must have an overall strategic plan for the entire northern nomads.
Throughout China's two thousand years of history, there are not many successful cases for reference in dealing with northern nomads.
Generally speaking, the foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty was relatively successful. In addition to the fact that the Tang army itself was very good at fighting, it also absorbed a large number of foreigners into the Tang army. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, only senior generals like Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Hei Te Changzhi, Ashina She'er, Qibi Heli, etc. all made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, you would say that the Tang Dynasty was ultimately destroyed at the hands of foreign generals.
Qin Mu believed that An Lushan's rebellion could not be entirely attributed to the Tang Dynasty's policy of reusing foreigners. With Tang Xuanzong's connivance towards An Lushan, even if An Lushan was a Han, there would most likely be big problems.
But as soon as Qin Mu proposed this idea, he was opposed by half of the ministers. The reasons for opposition are basically the same: people who are not of my race must have different minds.
On the contrary, Yang Tinglin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was the first to stand up and support him. He said: "It is undoubtedly the most labor-saving to attack the enemy with his spear and his shield. Besides, not all foreigners are treacherous and sinister. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty At the time of the collapse, many foreign envoys cut off their hair and slashed their faces and ears to express their grief in accordance with their own national traditions. Suddenly, the city of Chang'an was stained with blood.
Among them, Ashinasheer, the Turkic prince. He even proposed to the new emperor Li Zhi that he should commit suicide and be buried in order to guard the mausoleum for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen from this that whether the foreigners can be awed mainly depends on whether the monarch's virtue can make people convinced.
During the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there were also many foreign generals who fought for the Tang Dynasty and made countless contributions. The Anshi Rebellion was actually caused by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty who was addicted to drinking and sex. Neglect of governance.
My king often said that the sea is open to all rivers and is large in its tolerance. I, the Qin Dynasty, want to be the lord of the four seas, but I have a narrow-minded heart. Isn’t the so-called common master of the world just empty talk? I think that as long as my king diligently cultivates virtuous government, I can frighten him with force and show my sincerity. Treating them with kindness will surely make all the barbarians come back to their hearts. "
Last time Ai Nengqi threatened to listen to the tune but not the noise, it was Yang Tinglin who came out to admonish Qin Mu. Let him be virtuous and show his sincerity. This time he was the first to come forward, which made Qin Mu look at him with admiration.
Whether to reuse foreigners or not is directly related to the formulation of Great Qin's foreign policy.
For example, if there is no intention to reuse foreigners, the current policy towards Mongolia is simply to use or sow discord and let them kill each other.
If you plan to reuse foreigners, then when formulating a strategy, you can support a certain force and let it be used by me to deal with other disobedient tribes.
With the former policy, there is no need to worry about the danger of causing Xiao Qiang to suffer. However, when you incite people to kill each other, it is likely that one or two tribes will quickly grow through mergers and become another powerful enemy after the Jurchens.
In the case of the latter policy, in the process of support, try to subdue him as much as possible, so that his power is within a controllable range.
Qin Mu himself tends to adopt an inclusive policy. History has proven that a closed country has no future. Only by adopting an open and inclusive attitude can hundreds of rivers be absorbed into the sea and fine sand be gathered into a tower.
Sima An pondered: "The Tang Dynasty's foreign policy of tolerance allowed the Tang Dynasty's power to rapidly expand to Mobei and the Western Regions. There is no doubt about it.
I believe that the shortcoming of the Tang Dynasty's inclusive policy, which is also its fatal flaw, is that it did not make great efforts to assimilate foreign races after they were included. So that each ethnic group still retains their original customs;
I believe that our Qin Dynasty can use its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, adopt the Tang Dynasty's inclusive policy, resolve the issue of ownership of the northern and western regions as soon as possible, and then persevere in promoting sinicization. "
Sima An's words are in line with Qin Mu's intention. The first step is to defeat them first. After defeating them, it should be easier to promote Chineseization.
After the general foreign policy was decided, Qin Mu gave Song Xiance full responsibility for lobbying the Mongolian prisoners. Song Xiance was a good talker and knew some sacred things, which came in handy.
After subduing those Mongolian prisoners, letting them go back to lobby the tribesmen will undoubtedly have a twice the result with half the effort. Even if they do not contribute to the Great Qin after they return, there will not be much loss to the Great Qin.
I don’t know what tricks Dorgon can use to deal with it this time. You eliminate the factions within the Qing Dynasty, and I will go and provoke the Mongols. I will overwhelm you.
When the meeting ended, Qin Mu felt much more relaxed. He said to the ministers: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Ministers have worked hard for a year. Ahem... I won't say much else. No matter how much I say, if I don't come, To be honest, I am afraid that after the ministers go back, they will inevitably be nagged by their wives, and some may even have to kneel on the washboard. Boquan, after the meeting is over, give all the New Year gifts that the king has prepared to the ministers. Go down."
"My lord, I obey the order."
After Liu Boquan finished answering, he laughed first, and the ministers present couldn't help but chuckle. There was a moment of joy among the monarch and his ministers.
After the ministers dispersed, Qin Mu came to Yan Gaofei again and asked about the progress of the Zheng family in Fujian.
Up to now, Gan Nan, the young minister of Honglu Temple, is still in Fujian. Qin Mu clearly knows that the Zheng family's affairs are not urgent. Even if you send troops into Fujian and occupy Fujian, as long as the Zheng family's fleet is not damaged, Fujian will not be recovered. .
The powerful fleet of the Zheng family is related to the development of Great Qin's future maritime strategy. Longmen Shipyard can build a large number of ships, but after having the ships, qualified people must be able to operate them. Now the navy of Great Qin may not even know the direction when it goes to sea. Can't find it. If the Zheng family can be subdued, Da Qin's maritime strategy will save at least a few years of time. So Qin Mu can't help but be concerned.
Yan Gaofei shook his head and said: "Back to King Qin, there has been no new news from Fujian in the past two days."
"We can't just wait for Gannan and let Ye Bushou try to contact Zheng Sen. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"Yes, King Qin."
As the New Year is approaching, the palace is also decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and is dressed up happily. The maids in the backyard also put on new clothes.
When Qin Mu walked into the back garden, Qiao'er was teasing his son in the garden. She was holding a piece of pastry in her hand, which made Qin Ye chase after him. The little guy ran so hard that his face was red, and all he could see was the piece of pastry, which almost killed King Qin. Your Excellency "knocked down".
"Ouch, my old waist is broken now. My son, you broke daddy. You are such an unfilial son..."
Qin Ye didn't care how badly he was hit. When he saw his father, he immediately pulled him and pointed at the cake in Qiaoer's hand and screamed. It was obvious that he wanted to fight with his father.
Qiao'er laughed so hard that Xiaoman's waist bent, and he did not forget to hit Qin Mu and said: "Your Excellency, King Qin, have you seen that in the eyes of your son, you are not as important as the snacks in my hand, hehe..." ."
"I rebelled against you! Girl, come here and surrender immediately, otherwise I will send troops to crush your Yuezhou City immediately."
"Don't be afraid. You might as well send troops to fill up Dongting Lake."
"Son, come on!"
It’s rare that the Qin family can’t compete with their father, so they have to fend for themselves. How can they be willing? He burst into tears. Now the Qin family is such a single seedling, and he has such a voice, which immediately alarmed the entire backyard. Yang Zhi, Gu Hanyan and others ran out one after another.
Qiaoer panicked when he saw it and quickly brought the snacks over.
"Qiao'er, no." Qin Mu grabbed Qiao'er's hand and brought the snacks over, "From now on, whenever he asks for something by crying, no one is allowed to give it to him. I am just a son. If anyone dares to give him something, If you are spoiled, I will never forgive you."
"Oh... But..."
"No buts, you must remember these words." After Qin Mu finished speaking, he knelt down and said to his son: "Ye'er, stop, stop crying. If you cry again, Daddy will eat the cake. Do you think so?" There is only one way to eat, stop crying and promise daddy that you will never cry again."
