Tibet is located in a high and cold area and is difficult to control. In addition, its religious influence is huge. After defeating Bailutuhu, how to truly bring Qinghai-Tibet under effective governance does require advance consideration and the formulation of a feasible plan.
War is only a means, not an end. Qin Mu must look beyond the war and make long-term considerations from a political perspective.
"Ying'er, you are good at scheming."
As Qin Mu spoke, he hugged Hong Niangzi and patted her plump buttocks once or twice.
Hongniang only felt waves of numbness in her buttocks, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She blushed and defended herself, "Your Majesty, matters of war should be left to your generals. As the ruler of a country, Your Majesty should have considered more about the subsequent governance. Am I wrong?"
When Hongniang saw him polishing his sword, she was afraid that he would really go out and face the arrows and stones. So she had an idea and brought up the issue of post-war governance in Qinghai-Tibet. It was indeed a trick she had in mind, hoping to divert his mind from the war itself.
Hongniang was right. Qin Mu should really focus on how to solve the problem of long-term stability.
With the rapid development of technology in all aspects of the Qin Dynasty and the continuous improvement of firearms, as long as there is no large-scale civil war, it is only a matter of time before the Qin Dynasty defeats the surrounding ethnic groups.
Qin Mu has ordered the Ministry of Revenue to urgently allocate 700,000 dragon coins for the manufacture of flintlock rifles. Once this large number of weapons are equipped to the army, the Qin army will have an overwhelming advantage over the nomadic peoples. Moreover, this kind of weapon is not like the thunder bomb, which can be easily imitated by forces like Bailutu Hu.
To put it bluntly, even if Bailutuhu won this time and successfully occupied the entire Longyou, with his comprehensive strength, it would still be difficult for him to compete with the Qin Dynasty for a long time.
Qin Mu held Hong Niangzi's soft body with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand. He began to think.
Lady Hong's full-moon-shaped breasts gently moved on his legs, and she turned around, hugged him and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Qinghai-Tibet is nothing more than a matter of the Yellow Sect and the Red Sect. Bailutuhu can rule Tibet, so why can't Daqin rule?"
Qin Mu laughed and said, "It's not that simple. Most Tibetans make their livings as nomads, and so do the Mongols. Bailutuhu's entry into Qinghai-Tibet has not brought much change to the social ecology of Qinghai-Tibet..."
"That's not right!" Hong Niangzi couldn't help but say. "If the Qin Dynasty took control of Qinghai-Tibet, it wouldn't necessarily have to force the people of Qinghai-Tibet to change their existing lifestyle. Wouldn't it be enough to let them continue to be nomads?"
"Nomadic peoples and agricultural peoples are two completely different ecosystems. If the people of Qinghai and Tibet continue to live a nomadic life as they do now and continue to retain their original culture and customs, they will inevitably become disunited and it will be difficult to implement meticulous governance to ensure long-term peace and stability."
"But in a cold and harsh place like Qinghai-Tibet, it is simply unrealistic to ask all the local herders to give up nomadic life and switch to farming."
"So the problem is very complicated. We must find a balance between the two, so that it is easy to govern and feasible. At the same time, don't forget that the religious issue in Qinghai-Tibet is more complicated than any other issue."
Hongniangzi could not help but nod her head. The incense on the table was wafting, making her face a little hazy. A wisp of white cloud floated past the window, bringing a midday shade, making the room seem even more peaceful.
The posture in which Hongniang turned around and embraced him made her pair of papaya-shaped breasts almost burst her clothes, outlining her fit body with amazing curves, and exuding a faint feminine fragrance.
"Your Majesty, Bailutuhu is both the Imperial Master and the Dharma King who protects the religion. He has given himself a lot of titles. I believe this will be very useful for his rule over Qinghai-Tibet. I think Your Majesty should get two more titles. Perhaps this will also be useful for Your Majesty's governance of Qinghai-Tibet in the future."
"Hiss!" Qin Mu took a light breath. Hong Niang's words gave him some ideas.
In order to strengthen his rule over Qinghai and Tibet, Bailutuhu went to Lhasa to meet the Fifth Dalai Lama and the Fourth Panchen Lama, and was given the title of "Gushi. Tenzin Chokyi" and "National Teacher. Dharma King", or "Tenjin Chokyi Gyapo", which means "Buddhist Dharma Protector". In Mongolian, he is also called "Gushi. Nomen Khan" ("National Teacher. Dharma Protector Khan").
Afterwards, he paid homage to the Fifth Emperor and placed him on a high pedestal, and he himself ruled the country as the imperial teacher and Dharma Protector Khan, which to a great extent helped him gain recognition from the Tibetan people.
Qin Mu said hesitantly: "I am the Son of Heaven. If I were to become a national teacher and guardian like Bailu Tuhu, it would be a bit of a devaluation of my status."
"That's right." Lady Hong also felt that it was inappropriate. She thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty certainly cannot condescend to be a Dharma protector. In this way, Your Majesty can also confer titles on the Panchen Lama and the **, and then build a temple for the Yellow Sect and the Red Sect in Beijing to protect the country;
Your Majesty will go on a expedition to the north every few years. You can invite the Tibetan and Panchen Lama to go to Tibet every time. The journey from Lhasa to Beijing is long. If you ask them to pray for the believers on the way,
In this case, it would probably take two years for the emperor and the Panchen Lama to go back and forth each time. Your Majesty goes north every few years, so apart from the time they spend going back and forth, they won’t have much time to stay in Qinghai-Tibet.”
Qin Mu couldn't help but be delighted when he heard this. No matter how effective Hong Niangzi's method was, it was still feasible. On the surface, it would elevate the status of the Khan and the Panchen Lama, but in fact it would reduce their influence on Qinghai-Tibet politics.
"Well, Ying'er is getting smarter. We can give this a try. Even if we can't invite them every time, as long as we invite them once in a while and let them stay for a few more days, we can still do a lot for Tibet."
"Your Majesty, are you really planning to do this?" Hong Niang said this casually. She didn't expect that Qin Mu was really going to adopt his idea. She was so happy that she hugged his hands tightly to her chest.
Qin Mu took the opportunity to hold her hand, and her heart was in turmoil. Hong Niang rolled her eyes at him, but she held his hand tighter. These days, she not only did not reject such intimate actions with Qin Mu, but on the contrary, she was willing to do so. She just tried to restrain herself because she was worried about affecting his work.
As far as Qin Mu knew, a woman's childbirth may lead to an increase in estrogen, which makes the demand during this period become strong. This should be a normal phenomenon, and he would not reject it. This peach horse has trained in soft body skills and can pose in various breathtaking positions. It is simply...
"Ahem, as long as it helps govern Qinghai-Tibet, I will do it."
Hong Niangzi was greatly encouraged, and then said happily: "Your Majesty, now we are going to implement the conscription law on the tribes in the south of the desert. After conquering Qinghai and Tibet, we can also let the Mongols garrison in Qinghai and Tibet, so that nomads can control nomads."
"Haha, I thought of that too. We think alike."
Of course, Qin Mu also intends to implement the conscription law in Qinghai and Tibet to control the number of able-bodied men in Qinghai and Tibet. There are also a lot of unowned lands overseas that they can open up;
There are so many islands in the entire South Seas. If we want to truly bring them under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, we must strengthen the garrison.
And Australia, a virgin land like that, is quite suitable for the Tibetans and Mongols to graze their livestock.
You know what, the two of them chatted back and forth like lovers, and they actually came up with some ways to govern Qinghai-Tibet.
Whether all nomadic peoples can become strong and threaten the stability of the Central Plains depends mainly on the size of their population. As long as a large number of their young and strong people are recruited to weaken their ability to resist, and then gradually influenced and assimilated through economic and cultural means, I believe good results can be achieved without using a butcher's knife.
In this era, it is actually much easier to do something than in later generations. Everyone speaks with force and there is no need to worry about international pressure, condemnation, or even sanctions.
As long as you have enough military force, it is normal to massacre the indigenous people and then allow immigrants to occupy the land.
Just like the Mongols in the past, they wiped out the Dangxiang people from the earth, so that the entire Hetao area belonged to the Mongols, and there were no more so-called "foreign races" causing trouble.
Qin Mu would not resort to such bloody means unless it was absolutely necessary, but if necessary, he would not mind doing so. After all, long-term stability for generations to come was the most important thing.
Otherwise, there will be trouble today and tomorrow, and the whole place will be in chaos. All internal energy will be wasted on infighting, which will not benefit anyone.
