After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well. Your Majesty, rest assured."
In fact, this is not a difficult matter. There are mainly three points.
The first point is to conquer, the second point is to subdue, and the third point is to divide.
The Ming Dynasty had done this kind of thing countless times, so it was naturally not difficult for Sun Chengzong to do it.
However, there is no such thing as a perfect plan. What works now may not work in the future. However, this is the most appropriate plan at the moment. Even if Sun Chengzong has some concerns, he has no way to tell Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao actually didn't care much.
Although the current Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the stage that he envisioned, it is already on the way.
After the events in Liaodong were resolved, only Ligdan Khan remained on the grasslands. He was not to be feared.
As the Ming Dynasty grew stronger, the northern border became more and more stable. Once the internal problems were solved, there would be no problem that could not be solved.
What we have to deal with next are natural disasters and man-made disasters, which means transferring domestic conflicts abroad.
Once the matter was completed, there would be nothing left for the North to worry about. Even if they made a fuss, it would be meaningless.
What I have to do this time is to stabilize Liaodong.
Huang Taiji is gone. As long as the Khorchin and other tribes can be stabilized, they will not rebel again. There is no point in rebelling.
So in this matter, Zhu Youxiao knew very well what he was doing.
Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao said, "Tell me what you are going to do?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Sun Chengzong said directly. "Your Majesty wants to hold an alliance, and I will follow suit and invite all the tribes of the eastern grasslands. And among these tribes, whether they agree or not, Inner Khalkha will fight."
"At this point, this battle can no longer wait. The entire Ming Dynasty and Liaodong military are waiting for this battle. This battle can deter the Mongolian tribes, making them completely obedient, and at the same time completely wipe out the resistance in Liaodong."
"Support Ordos, check and balance Khorchin, and at the same time recruit the five Inner Khalkha tribes that are close to the Ming Dynasty. The three tribes will check and balance each other, and the north will be stable."
Although there were still things to do later, Sun Chengzong did not say anything.
This was a matter of the present moment, and it would be enough if he could do these things well and beautifully in his lifetime. Sun Chengzong was even worried that he would not live to see that day.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Let's do as you say, my dear."
In fact, there are many more things to come, such as their alliances and annexations. When the Ming Dynasty is weak, they will take advantage of the situation to rise.
This has been a cycle that has been repeating itself for the Ming Dynasty for many years. When it is strong, it will fight back; when it is weak, it will be attacked by others. During the Battle of Tumu, the enemy even attacked as far as Beijing.
The Ming Dynasty has been going through cycles all the time. Perhaps someone after Zhu Youxiao would be able to do it, but Zhu Youxiao would not see that day.
As for Zhu Youxiao, he didn't quite believe that such a day would come.
When Ming's weapons continue to grow stronger, when I solve Ming's internal problems, and when Ming's technology becomes more prosperous, all of this will no longer be a problem.
In the face of absolute power, nothing is of any use.
After standing up and stretching his body, Zhu Youxiao pulled Sun Chengzong out.
Sun Chengzong didn't know what Zhu Youxiao was going to do, but he still followed him outside.
After reaching the door, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Did you bring the things?"
"Your Majesty, it has been brought." Chen Hong said hurriedly, waving behind him, and two eunuchs came up.
One of the eunuchs was holding a long spear, and the other was holding a box of bullets.
This spear is a little different from ordinary guns. It has a long cylindrical object on it, which looks a bit strange.
Zhu Youxiao took the gun and took out a bullet. He reached out to pull the bolt and pushed the bullet in. Then he raised the gun and put his eyes close to the long cylindrical object.
After aiming for a while, Zhu Youxiao said to Sun Chengzong, "Master Sun, do you know what this is?"
After hearing this, Sun Chengzong shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know. In recent years, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty have been changing with each passing day. I don't know how to use many of them anymore, and I don't understand the principles behind them."
"In the early years, I was very familiar with military equipment. At that time, I felt that the Ming Dynasty's firearms had room for improvement. After so many years, firearms have exceeded my imagination. I don't even know what these things are, let alone how they work. It was when I saw these things that I felt I was getting old."
The rapid development of Ming Dynasty firearms in recent years was the result of Zhu Youxiao's promotion. Along with this, the Ming Dynasty's military selection, training and combat methods also changed.
There are many things that old people don’t understand.
Zhu Youxiao smiled, raised his head to look at a bird flying in the sky, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
After the bang, the bird continued to fly in the sky, and even faster.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong now lowered his head, as if he was holding back something.
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "If you want to laugh, just laugh. You don't have to hold it in. You're so old now, don't hold it in and ruin your health."
Sun Chengzong raised his head and said with a smile: "I thought Your Majesty wanted to show me the power of this firearm."
"The power of firearms is undeniable. My spearmanship is just not that great." Zhu Youxiao said with a self-deprecating smile, "It's only here that I can try them out. When I was in the capital, they wouldn't let me touch them at all."
