"Please marry?"

Liu Jun shook his wine glass thoughtfully, drank it all, then placed the wine glass on the table, leaning against the bearskin chair. This was a very relaxed and comfortable position. He raised his right hand and gently pinched his chin, rubbing his fingers against the short moustache.

"If the Mongolian princes' intention to invite marriage is sincere, this is a good thing. However, it is best to ask for such a thing by the princes themselves. If we ask for it, the princes will feel that the court is too strong and they will be rebellious. Have you figured out whether the marriage is just Ezhe alone, or is the other princes have this intention?"

"This matter was decided by Ezhe, and then he had contacted the princes and persuaded most of the princes to agree." Feng Sheng said truthfully. An important responsibility of the Jinyiwei was to monitor the Mongolian princes. Ezhe's activities were not deliberately hidden, so the Jinyiwei knew this very well.

"Have most of the princes agreed?" Liu Jun smiled.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing. Now that the court has enfeoffed the princes, if they can marry them again, it will inevitably strengthen their relationship with the princes. If all the princes can marry Han girls as their official wife, and then they will make the sons of Han girls as their heirs in the future. After those generations, Mongolia will become a vassal of the Han people, or even directly become Han people." Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War, was very interested in this.

Feng Yuanbiao felt that it was a bit unsuitable.

"It's always a bit uncomfortable to be in harmony with Mongolia." He was thinking in his mind that for more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor would not marry, cede land, or pay tribute to the emperor to defend the country and die in the country. Even if it is critical, he would be tough.

However, Liu Jun is a more practical person and cannot just look at the surface of anything.

For example, the marriage between the Han and Tang dynasties did have the unscrupulous intention of compromise and concession. For example, the heroic ruler of Tang Taizong, a member of the Tubo Songtsan cadre, was married to Princess Wencheng, but the princess of the Tang Dynasty came to Tubo. However, she was actually a little wife, which made her lose face.

However, the situation is different at the moment. If the Han Dynasty is willing to marry the tribes, it is not forced to marry, but a marriage. It may not even be necessary to marry the princess, and if the princess is only a wife after she has passed away, it will be of great help to the relationship between Han and Mongolia.

If all the princes and nobles really could only marry Han women as their main wife, and could only use the sons of Han women as their heirs in the future. In this way, it would be possible that the Mongolian princes would be completely transformed into Han vassals or even Han people.

This temptation is quite big.

Such affinity and affinity in the Han and Tang dynasties has a completely different nature, just like the difference between a wife and a concubine.

"I didn't expect this Ezhe to have a lot of ideas." Zhang Guodong said with a smile. He was completely incomprehensible about people like Ezhe. He was too shameless to send my mother to his wife, and now he can still put forward such a plan shamelessly.

Liu Jun likes Ezhe very much, and the court needs such a person.

However, although his plan is good, if he really dares to give a large-scale marriage, there is still a very practical problem. Where can I find so many women to send to the grassland? I am afraid that there are not many people who are willing to go there. Not to mention such marriages. The selected women must be at least the daughters of the royal family of noble families, but how many families from this kind of background are willing to send their daughters to the grassland?

After thinking about it, Liu Jun could not choose the daughter of a royal family of noble families. First, they had a high status and might not be willing to send their daughter to the grassland. Second, these people were already very powerful. If there was a son-in-law of Mongolian princes, wouldn't they be stronger? Once the tail was too big, they would be troublesome to collude with both inside and outside.

"Your Majesty. How about the draft?" After hearing Liu Jun's concerns, Zhang Guowei came up with an idea.

Liu Jun's eyes lit up, and the talent show is a good idea. In the past, in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the Ming Dynasty set rules to choose the emperor's concubines from ordinary folk families. In this way, there would be no powerful foreign relatives.

If the Han Dynasty uses the method of selecting women from ordinary families, and then gives them to the vassals of the grassland, it will be a good way to avoid being unwilling to the court, and prevent collusion between inside and outside.

As for whether the people of the people would be willing, Liu Jun felt that this was not a problem. After all, the 200 million people of the Han Dynasty and tens of millions of families, as long as they were not forced to sign up for a public talent show, there would always be people who were willing to marry the Mongolian nobles.

Having a son-in-law of Mongolian princes is also a good choice.

As for whether girls are willing or not, they are always concerned about marriage as the parents' orders and matchmakers. They are not allowed to decide. Even if they are married normally, they will be blind and mute. If they are not allowed to enter the bridal chamber, they will not know what the people they will look like in the future.

Of course, the court had to make some compensation.

For example, scholars must first participate voluntarily, and secondly, after being selected, the court will give their families some money. Furthermore, these selected girls should be sent to the capital for one or two years of concentrated etiquette and other training, and learn Mongolian language and Mongolian etiquette.

Finally, we cannot just make up the couple. Liu Jun believes that it is possible to have a blind date. At that time, a large group of Mongolian princes and nobles and their children will have a group blind date with these beautiful girls, so that they can have a preliminary understanding of each other.

If both parties can meet the right one they like, it is naturally the best.

Such blind dates are better than random marriages.

The more Liu Jun thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was good.

"Your Majesty, I think we should not only conduct talent shows, but also marry the princes of the grassland from the folk talent show girls. We can also set up a noble school in Beijing to let all Mongolian princes and their children come to Beijing to learn. Let them learn Chinese and Han culture, and at the same time have a proton effect." Zhang Guodong also put forward his own idea.

This is not bad, Liu Jun nodded.

If the princes were divided, the territory was divided, and marriage was granted, it would be even better if there was a cultural assimilation. If the princes and nobles on the grassland learned Han culture and accepted Han culture, they would be like the Xianbei nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty and would be soon sinicized. Later, they would speak Chinese characters and wear Hanfu, and they might even change their surnames and take Han names and marry Han wives. If this continues, will they be completely Han people after several generations?

The assimilation ability of Confucianism is quite amazing. Many of the Hu tribes who were once strong in history but went south to take control of the Central Plains were eventually sinicized. Historically, after the Jurchens entered the Central Plains, they vigorously married the Mongolian people and promoted Buddhism and promoted temples, which made many Mongolian men become monks, which not only did not increase in the number of Mongolian people in hundreds of years, but continued to decrease.

Liu Jun felt that it is natural to promote Buddhism to encourage people to be good, but if Confucianism is vigorously promoted at the same time, it is a powerful weapon to truly assimilate them.

How many Mongolians still have now? The total number of Mongolians is only about two million in the south and north of the desert. If the Mongolians accept Confucianism, they are afraid they will be finished.

Through the opportunity of giving marriages and marriages, it is a good plan to summon the Mongolian banners to the capital, so that they can learn Chinese culture and accept Confucianism.

"I think that giving marriage to the talent show is indeed a trick. Most famous families of honors and relatives are unwilling to let their daughters go to the grassland, but ordinary people must have many people who are willing to have a Mongolian noble son-in-law." Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

Liu Jun also nodded with a smile. Even in later generations, wouldn’t there be many Chinese women who went to the Middle East to go on blind dates with the rich. The Mongolian princes were nobles, and no one was rich and powerful.

The most critical point of this plan is that the Mongolian princes themselves are willing to do it, and they have to ask for marriage on their own initiative, and they are willing to accept these Han civilian women. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty could not force them.

"I think that when these beautiful ladies are selected from the people, your majesty can give them the ranks. For example, if a woman marrys a Mongolian county duke, she can be given the status of a county lord or a princess. If she marrys a Mongolian marquis, she can be given the status of a county lord, etc., if she marrys a knight or a warrior, she can be given the status of a lady, etc.."

Another good strategy.

At this time, Liu Jun finally made the decision, "This matter can be started."

Then he turned to Feng Sheng.

"Feng Sheng, tell me about the situation on the Jurchen side."

"It's Your Majesty." Feng Sheng immediately began to turn to the Jurchens. "Your Majesty, according to our information, after Daishan's death, the two red flags were controlled by Dorgon, and the two yellow and two white and the blue were controlled by him. Even the inlaid blue in Jirhalang's hands were completely obedient to Dorgon. Dorgon is now promoted to the regent and is the real controller of the Qing Dynasty."

"Before the Mongolian princes attacked Korqin, Dorgon ordered the Korqin tribes to follow him to move north to Heilongjiang, but Korqin did not agree."

Liu Jun nodded. If Korqin followed the Jurchens north at that time, the situation would have been different again.

"Dorgon is currently in Yuanhui on the Heilongjiang River, and Jirgalang has been stationed in Shenyang."

"Where is Liaoyang?" Zhang Guowei asked.

Feng Sheng smiled, "When Jiergalang moved to Shenyang, he took away all the soldiers from Liaoyang. In fact, Liaoyang is now an empty city."

"Did the Jurchens give up the area south of Shenyang? They are very decisive." Zhang Guowei said.

Liu Jun shook his head, "If the Jurchens were really decisive, they should give up Shenyang, transfer all the troops and population and materials south of Harwen to the northern areas such as Harwen and Yuanhui, and burn all the cities and villages in the south. Only in this way can we have some obstacles to our eastward advance. Now, while giving up Liaoyang and other places, they still left their troops to guard Shenyang after the main force headed north. What's the decisiveness of this hesitation?"

Zhang Guodong and several other generals also agreed with Liu Jun's view, either fighting, holding on to a battle, or retreating, and retreating. The Qing people's reaction is full of hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I sent troops directly to surround Shenyang and take down Liaodong."

"No hurry, the Mongolian princes were very interested in the Jurchens in the Eastern Expedition, so they asked them to fight."

Zhang Guodong smashed his mouth, "Liaodong is empty now. If the Mongolian princes were asked to fight, the money and grain people they had won would belong to, which would be too cheap for them."

Liu Jun smiled, "This is just a little benefit I have given them on purpose. I want the horse to run, but why don't the horse eat grass? Besides, there is nothing worth watching in Liaodong's family with us now." (To be continued.)
