Chapter 216 The Loyal Dog of the Ming Dynasty
Zhu Zaijing looked at the frightened Ying Ke playfully, and finally said gently: "What's wrong with the Governor? Did I scare you?"
Ying Ke hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in horror: "I don't dare, the prince treats me like a spring breeze, I am so excited and happy..."
Looking at Ying Ke like this, and hearing Ying Ke like this Answering, Zhu Zaijing immediately laughed again.
"Just be happy, I thought you were worried that I would kill you."
Yingke was suddenly frightened again, "The guilty minister didn't think so!"
Zhu Zaijing smiled again and said: "It's okay to think so, because originally I wanted to kill you. But you are now You seem so loyal, so I have kind thoughts and begged your Majesty to spare your life. "
"So...how will you repay me?"
< br>In the end, Zhu Zaijing stared at Ying Ke with stern eyes, which put him under endless psychological pressure.
Yingke quickly kowtowed again and said: "The guilty minister will obey the prince's arrangements for everything."
Zhu Zaijing stood up and came over to pat Yingke on the shoulder, "Since you are willing to listen to my king's arrangements, then get up and talk."
Yingke stood up tremblingly and stood carefully in front of Zhu Zaijing. Waiting for Zhu Zaijing's fate.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Now that Anda has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, I wonder where Duoyan is going to go?"
Ying Ke quickly said: "Duoyan has always been the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Hounds, I have been the loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty since my ancestors. If I hadn't been ambitious and bullied others, I would not have dared to offend Tianwei and act as a savior."
Zhu Zaijing laughed: "I am quite skilled in using idioms. . But who said that you have offended Tianwei and acted as a collaborator? You should be the hero who cooperated with me and led An Da into the trap."
"So, this is the fundamental reason why you are alive."
Yingke was stunned when he heard what Zhu Zaijing said. Is this true?
But Zhu Zaijing's meaningful gaze made him dare not disobey.
However, Ying Ke was not a fool, and he instantly understood what Zhu Zaijing meant.
Zhu Zaijing wanted to regard him as an "internal agent" in the previous defense battle in the suburbs of Beijing. He wanted to completely separate him and the Duoyan tribe from the grassland forces, and to make him a loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty.
So now that he has understood this meaning, Ying Ke also understands that if he wants to survive, he must cling to Da Ming's thigh. If Duoyan wants to survive forever, he must follow Da Ming's path into darkness, otherwise he will be the common enemy of Da Ming and the grassland.
At that time, not only him, but also the Duoyan Department, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, will disappear into thin air and become a wisp of smoke in the historical records, no longer existing in the world!
Yingke said quickly: "It is all thanks to the prince's planning that I have the opportunity to serve the prince. From now on, I and Duoyanwei will follow the prince's lead!"
Zhu Zaijing listened to the shadow. Ke responded so quickly to the words of loyalty, and immediately laughed again, and then said: "It is not me who plans the strategy, but His Majesty; it is not that I follow the lead, but that the Ming Dynasty leads the way."
Shadow Ke quickly bowed again: "I understand, I understand."
Zhu Zaijing hummed again: "Now that you understand those things, from now on you will be the governor of the Duoyan Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and stop looking around and trying to have your way."
Yingke replied: "Don't worry, Prince. , I am the dog of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the dog of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay, just have such a heart and have a good chat with Teng Xiang later, he will give you a big surprise! "Zhu Zaijing said one last thing and sent Yingke away.
Zhu Zaijing asked Ying Ke to find Teng Xiang. In fact, he also took a fancy to the position Duo Yanwei currently occupies.
They are now stationed in the northeastern part of Shanhaiguan to Xifengkou and Datong Xuanfu. This area in later generations belonged to Chahar and Jehol provinces as well as parts of Inner Mongolia and Beijing during the Republic of China. It can also be considered a vast area.
However, due to geographical constraints, there is no danger in this area, so it is much more difficult for Duoyanwei to survive on this land.
If they want to survive, they must either surrender to the Ming Dynasty, join the Tatars, or go to the northeast to seize the Jurchens' territory. However, the Jurchens in Liaodong are not generally tough, so they are trying to seize the Jurchens' territory. Regarding this matter, Duoyanwei has not made any progress.
So we can only choose between Tatar and Ming Dynasty.
But the Ming Dynasty has always respected literature and suppressed martial arts, and after the development of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, the xenophobic flavor of narrow nationalism became stronger and stronger.
There is no trace of the spirit of the country since the Han and Tang Dynasties, when it embraced all rivers and showed great tolerance.
So since the Song and Ming Dynasties, during the hundreds of years when Confucianism was the sect, Confucian culture has become more and more conservative, and has become a "stingy" style with only the temper of the country, but not the magnanimity of the country. "Country.
Internally, it uses the almost inhumane Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules to restrain the people, brainwash and restrict the people's right to freedom, making countless poor people become untouchables whose lives are thinner than paper from generation to generation.
The tributary countries that come from the outside still insist on pretending to be a central empire, and give these tributary countries great benefits.
So much so that in the second year of Jiajing, two groups of tribute missions from Japan fought in Ningbo and started a battle for tribute, which also involved the Ming Dynasty, leading to a thousand-household war. His death caused unreasonable disasters to the people of Ningbo.
It can be said that this kind of tributary model of diplomatic relations after the Ming Dynasty was an extremely stupid face diplomacy with no benefits at all.
In addition, he is obsessed with confidence and despises all the surrounding countries and tribes, thinking that they are all barbarians without etiquette and education.
As a result, they have been harassed by the "barbarians" from the north for two hundred years, but they have always been unable to do anything.
The last act of showing off offended all the grassland tribes in the north.
So much so that a tribe like Duoyanwei, which had already surrendered and became a small vassal, also ran away with the Tatars. What the hell is this?
Therefore, now that Emperor Jiajing has adopted Zhu Zaijing's suggestion to restore the worship of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, in the Miao Emperors of the past dynasties, he has also adopted Zhu Zaijing's suggestion to build the "Ming Dynasty Industrial Cycle".
Then Zhu Zaijing must also take the initiative to participate in it, and continue to submit to the Ming Dynasty, the grassland tribes like Duoyanwei who have to rely on the Ming Dynasty to survive.
Therefore, the reason why Yingke was able to survive was actually to concentrate Yingke's current fear of the Ming Dynasty and make Duoyanwei re-affiliate.
However, simply relying on strength to get Duoyanwei to join us still cannot last long.
So, this time Zhu Zaijing planned to take advantage of the economic advantage of kidnapping, making Duoyanwei a transfer station for the Ming Dynasty to connect the grasslands and Liaodong, and built a city for it in a small place called Zhangjiakou to allow nomadic people to Duoyanwei settled down.
In this way, Duoyanwei will be firmly bound to the Ming Dynasty's chariot, now and in the future.
And this new city built for Duoyanwei will also become a bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to further expand its connections with the grasslands and Liaodong in the future!
