Chapter 920 Oh, I'm going to lose money!

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I have no objections to this!"

"His Majesty the Great Emperor, Chen Babu has no objections and is willing to sign and seal it immediately!"

There were many harsh conditions in the treaty, but the future Chahar Khan and Tumote Khan did not show any dissatisfaction, because in addition to various harsh conditions, the treaty also stipulated that the Ming court would grant rewards to two people every year.

The amount of property in the Great Khanate!

Starting from the year when the two great khanates moved to Mobei, the Chahar Khanate and the Tumote Khanate could each receive a reward of 360,000 taels of silver from the Ming court every year. These rewards would be paid in the form of banknotes (checks) from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

) in the name of full payment, without any department fees, and without the need to give a penny of rebate. The two major khanates can withdraw the corresponding silver tael from the Maritime Bank and the Salt Merchant Bank with the check. However, they cannot take the silver tael back to the grassland.

, but to purchase items within the direct provincial territory of the Ming Dynasty and pay freight or other related fees.

As for what can be bought in the two great khanates? The Ming Dynasty will issue a restricted list. Not everything can be bought! But as long as it is not on the list, everyone is allowed to buy.

In addition, the khans of the two major khanates will be granted the title of Prince of the Ming Dynasty and will be granted the title of Ming Dynasty Prince in Laoshan, Nanjing. The princes of the khanates will not be granted land, but they will receive corresponding salaries, which is about ten thousand taels of silver a year.

This money will be used to maintain the royal palace and the expenses of the Khan's heirs or other heirs while serving as hostages in the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the two khanates could receive a total of 740,000 taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty as a reward every year!

What a fortune!

Of course, the Chahar Khanate and the Tumote Khanate were both vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and they had to pay tribute to their overlord, the Ming Dynasty. But their tribute was the symbolic "Nine White Tributes", that is, the two khanates each year

Turn in eight white horses and one white camel.

Nine worthless animals were exchanged for 370,000 taels. Babu and Abu Nai would be stupid not to sign this treaty!

These 740,000 taels are not all the money that Zhu Cihong used to earn money in the Mongolian lands of northern Xinjiang. Emperor Zhu still had to spend hundreds of thousands of taels every year on the great lamas from Tibet, and also paid for Zhungeer in the northwest.

The ministry has given a large subsidy to the Zhungeer Ministry, and the reward is temporarily set at 400,000 taels per year!

In addition, the Ming Dynasty will station a small number of troops in important places in the Chahar Khanate, Tumut Khanate, and Jungar Khanate (not yet established). This is another huge expense!

Just to maintain these three Mongolian vassals, Emperor Zhu Da had to spend nearly two million taels of silver a year, and this kind of loss-making business was simply a bottomless pit, and he had to keep losing money endlessly!

Not to mention machine guns and railways, even with atomic bombs, the territory ruled by the Yellow Sect Mongolia is still a "compensation", and the compensation is more than two million taels of silver. How much US dollars is it? Just over 30 million, if only compensation is

At this point, future generations of leaders of great powers can laugh out of their dreams.

However, the two million taels of silver now are not the more than 30 million US dollars of later generations. Two million taels now is a huge sum of money. Even Zhu Cixiang, who was the best at plundering in the history of the Ming Dynasty, felt very sad when he thought of this expense.

.

And of course such a large sum of money cannot be thrown away casually!

Emperor Zhu breathed out, smiled and said to the two Mongolian Khans: "The rewards of the Ming Dynasty are given to those who have the ability! The treaty for granting rewards is given to you, but if you want to get the reward, you must first defeat the Kabul."

The three Erkha tribes have a foothold in Mobei, because this reward is given to the Chahar Khanate and Tumut Khanate in Mobei!

Do you two understand?"

The Chahar tribe and the Tumut tribe are not worth that much money, but as long as they can return to Mobei and defeat the three Khalkha tribes, they will be worth the price!

Without their efforts, Emperor Zhu would not be able to defeat the three Khalkha tribes. This was not nonsense made by Emperor Zhu himself, but the unanimous view of Zhu Cijiong, the acting king, and Wu Sangui, Duke of Liang, who were well aware of the reality and reality of Mongolia.

The reason is also very simple. Mobei is too big, and the three Khalkha tribes are nomadic tribes, erratic, and the Ming cavalry themselves are not nomadic, so they cannot stay in Mobei for a long time. They can only rely on the outdated intelligence they obtained.

(There were no telegraphs these days, so the information the Ming army stationed in Monan learned about the three tribes in Mobei must be outdated.) Blindly carrying out a short northern expedition, it would be easy for the three nomadic tribes to hide and seek with the Ming army on the vast prairie. As long as they hide

In thirty to fifty days, when the Ming army runs out of food, they will be able to win without a fight.

Therefore, to defeat the three tribes, we can only arm the Chahar and Tumote tribes in Monan and let them go north to Mobei. They are nomadic tribes themselves. Once they go north, they can stay for a long time. Chahar, Tumote

Once Mert is nomadic in Mobei, the three Khalkha tribes will not be able to "float" and they will not leave. They will occupy the most fertile pastures of the three tribes. Where can the three tribes hide? At that time, they will not fight to the death.

Just run away

And once the three parts of Khalkha are finished, Horqin will also be finished, or get out together!

Because the west and northwest of the Horqin tribe have become the enemy of the Chahar tribe, the Horqin tribe can no longer "float". A pincer attack on the Daning army and the Chahar Khanate will only lead to death!

Therefore, the northward movement of the Chahar tribe and the Tumut tribe should help the Ming Dynasty to settle the three Khalkha tribes and the Horqin tribe, and by the way, Daning (occupying the former land of Horqin), Anbei (occupying the former land of Tumut),

The four towns of Shuofang (occupying the former place of Ordos) and Beiping (occupying the former places of Chahar, Xilingol, and Zhaowuda) took over large tracts of land.

Once the two towns of Daning and Peiping are set up, Duduo's Andong Protectorate will be attacked from three sides!

"I understand, I understand!"

"Please rest assured, Great Emperor, we will definitely defeat the Mobei Tribe, because the Mobei Tribe is very weak and is no match for our Monan Mongolia!"

Seeing that the two Mongolian princes were full of confidence, Emperor Zhu had nothing to say. Everyone knew that the three Mobei tribes were weak, while the Chahar tribe and the Tumote tribe would also get Shuofang, Anbei, Beiping, and Daning.

With the help of the Fourth Army and a lot of arms assistance from the Ming Dynasty, they should not lose to the Mobei Tribe and the Horqin Tribe.

The two Mongolian Khans finally left with smiles on their faces, but Zhu Cihong's loss-making business was not over yet!

There were a total of eight "creditors" including Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Yujian, Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Shang Kexi, Kong Tingxun, and Chuo Luosi from Zhungeer tribe.

Waiting to ask the Ming Emperor for payment!

If they don’t have tens of millions a year, don’t even think about sending them away!

Emperor Zhu now understands Xuande's difficulties in shrinking because he has no money to make trouble! After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, the imperial court was far away from the economic center. At the same time, in order to supply Beijing with grain and rice, it had to work hard to maintain the canal and go to the Huanghuai floods.

There is no bottomless pit, and the financial problems will definitely become more and more serious!

If Mr. Xuanmiao was like Zhu Cixiang, with an income of hundreds of millions a year, he would definitely not give up even an inch of land!

However, although Zhu Cixiang was rich, he could not open up the compensation, otherwise he would lose money to Ming Dynasty sooner or later!

"King of Xuan Dynasty, Huang Degong, Gao Jie goes to the palace!" Zhu Cixiang named three "creditors" in one breath.

The acting king Zhu Cijiong was originally the military governor of Shuofang, but now he wants to move to Datong to serve as the governor of Anbei. Huang Degong was originally the military governor of Huaibei, but now he wants to move to Daning to seize Horqin's territory. Gao Jie was originally the military governor of Xuhai, and now he is the military governor of Xuhai.

He wanted to move the town to Xuanfu and serve as the Jiedushi of Peiping. The Jiedushi of Beiping had jurisdiction over the territory of Peking Dusi, excluding Shuntian Prefecture.

The large-scale transfer of the three vassals, coupled with the military operations they sent to support the Chahar tribe and the Tumut tribe's northward march, combined together was an astronomical amount of expenses!

Therefore, Emperor Zhu had to settle accounts with the three of them. He should not let these three debt lords be too fierce, and at the same time, he should not let the three of them lose their money.
