Chapter 771 Forming a sweat tent

 Now that you have become a khan, you need the headquarters, that is, the core team that maintains the Mongolian tribes.

In Suiyuan and Hetao, a mutated version of the military household system is used, which is quite suitable in the two places. The tribal leader serves as the deputy of the 100th household, deputy of the 1000th household, and 1000th household. This standardizes the order but does not change the power, just like in the southwest.

Execution of restraint.

Basically, this is what Genghis Khan did hundreds of years ago.

Tracing back to the origin, it is still the feudal system, because its governance cost is the lowest, especially in barren areas such as the Mongolian Plateau.

Mr. Lu Simian once concluded that there are three steps for the expansion of the feudal system. First:

"To overwhelm others and order them to obey."

If you want to dominate others, you must first win. This is the most basic thing.

Then comes the second step, which is called:

"In place of his chieftain, he will be named after me with the same surname, a relative, a hero, and an old man."

The concubines and heroes of the armed colonization of the Western Zhou Dynasty, as well as the continuous marriage between the Manchu and Mongolians, all acted in this way.

If you can't change the people, just change a few leaders. Top-down is often the easiest way.

Connected by blood and eroded by culture, it changed from a raw country to a mature country, and then continued to change from a feudal state to a county.

The third and final step:

"Open up wasteland, use the same surname, relatives, and heroes, so the old people can be transplanted."

Mobilize to fight, thereby improving cohesion, obtaining land, tribes, and money, and then the relationship will be inseparable.

These three steps were taken in this way by the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Chu State, known as "I am a barbarian", also followed the example of the feudal system, and its territory even expanded to the Lingnan area.

The Mongols took two steps. In the end, the population base was too small and the culture was rudimentary, so they were assimilated.

The Manchus completed all three steps of the Qing Dynasty, but due to insufficient population, they were forced to assimilate, so much so that in the late Qing Dynasty, even the Manchus in the court could no longer speak Manchu.

Even Puyi only knows one "Yili" (flat body).

The West does not have three steps, it is directly to destroy the body and colonize directly.

The first step of filming has been completed, and now Zhu Yixi has reached the second step, which is to change the chiefs into his relatives and friends.

It's not possible for the nobles and nobles, and the clan doesn't have the ability.

Marriage is possible.

Didn’t the emperor just marry a Mongolian concubine?

His sons are not exempt from the customs and must have many concubines.

It would be very difficult to marry a daughter.

"Han supremacy is not advisable. After all, it is the Chinese nation."

Zhu Yixi touched her chin and made up her mind without hesitation.

The imperial power is supreme. There is no need to choose between the loyal foreigners and the Han people with double intentions.

Perhaps the weaker one is, the lower one's self-esteem is. Starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, people were deeply ashamed of marriage. By the Ming Dynasty, they regarded Sui coins and marriage as a scourge.

The atmosphere has also become more conservative.

Although this kind of one-size-fits-all approach is encouraging, it is not in line with political behavior.

For the imperial power, as long as it can maintain the rule, let alone the daughter, even the prince can be sacrificed.

Of course, considering public sentiment and public opinion, Zhu Yixi did not dare to act arbitrarily, and for the time being only considered marrying a wife.

Budali was so happy in Yuquan Mountain that he almost forgot about the Chahar tribe.

After the emperor summoned him, he ran over to see him.

"The Mongolians in Khalkha are subdued. It won't be long before herdsmen will go south to trade with each other. You are in the Chahar tribe, so you have to watch carefully."

Qiqige became more interested and continued to act as a translator without feeling tired.

"Don't worry, I, Budali, will definitely take a good look at the Chahar Department."

Although it was not clear how sincere Budali's words were, Zhu Yixi felt relieved because he was his uncle after all.

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

Zhu Yixi thought about it again and again, instead of pouring a glass of wine, she looked at his face and considered:

"My intention is to change the Chahar tribe from the banner alliance system to the thousand-household system, just like Suiyuan and Hetao."

As for Baihu, Deputy Qianhu, Qianhu Third Class, Qiqige explained it, and Budali suddenly understood, and then said with a tangled face:

"Your Majesty, the Chahar tribe now has more than 30,000 tents, and my subordinates have more than 3,000 tents. I'm afraid it will be difficult to divide them!"

Budali had no hesitation in breaking up those large tribes, but when it came to himself, that was another matter.

"You are the King of Beihai County, so naturally you are different."

The emperor nodded, chuckled and said: "In my opinion, the county prince will receive two thousand tents, and you can split the remaining one thousand tents and give them to your sons."

"A family of a thousand or a family of hundreds, they are all your heirs anyway, there is no difference."

Budali twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at his sister, who looked at her nose and chest, and could only bow:

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

"What about Prince Chahar?"

Prince Chahar, who is only five years old, is the eldest son of Burni and Abu Nai, and is the nominal ruler of the Chahar tribes.

"How many tribes does it directly govern?"

"At the time of Abu Nai, there were more than 8,000 tents, but now there are still about 5,000 tents left. Many tribesmen have been divided up..."

Budali gloated that now that he was Chahar's second-in-command, he naturally couldn't see it easier, even though he was still just a child.

"Prince, please take charge of three thousand accounts!"

Zhu Yixi smiled slightly and opened her thin lips, which cut off half of her strength.

In this case, there are only a thousand more members under the direct jurisdiction than Budali. Even if they grow up in the future, they will not be able to keep their word.

Hearing this, Budali thought of trying to gain some leverage and win over some tribesmen, so that even if he couldn't have more, he could share some with his son.

It was just the emperor's next words that made his smile freeze.

"Those two thousand tribesmen, plus Qiqige's dowry, will create exactly four thousand households, which will become the Khan tribe."

Qiqige's dowry of 2,000 yuan was forcibly collected by the Chahar tribe and was also the result of the coercion of Governor Xuanfa.

Zhu Yixi said confidently: "The Khan's Department belongs directly to Chuluo Khan. After all, as a great Khan, how can he not have any followers?"

"You're right." Budali stopped his surprised expression and said hurriedly: "As the sweat tent of the Great Khan, is four thousand tents too few? I can-"

"No."

The emperor shook his head and said softly: "If you put together the tribes from Suiyuan, Hetao, and Horqin, you can get out ten thousand tents."

"The key is that the boundary of the grazing land cannot be too far or too close."

Budari was silent.

Ten thousand households, that is, ten thousand families, can provide at least 20,000 cavalry. This is such a huge number.

At the same time, he also considered that this sweat tent would not be placed where the Chahar tribe is? Otherwise, why would this be done?

Budali raised his head and looked at the emperor's smiling expression, which looked indifferent no matter how he looked at it.

He looked at Qiqige, asking for help, but found nothing.

Obviously, this is a hard result to get rid of.

In the entire Monan, there is no place more suitable than Chahar. It is close to Xuanda University and after crossing the Great Wall, you can reach Beijing in a few days.
