The little emperor clearly explained the grievances and grievances between the Central Plains dynasty and the northern nomadic peoples for thousands of years in history, but in fact, it was also true. The Huns encountered a slight natural disaster and the Khanate's economic advantages were damaged, and the immediate rebellion of the Dingling, Jiankun, Xianbei and other ethnic groups. From the establishment to the extinction of the Turks, the Tiel tribes never accepted and fought against the rule of the Turks.

Now even the Mongol Yuan, which had tied the troops of Mobei into a single line in a short period of time, was frequent civil strife afterwards. Kublai Khan wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and Ali Buge was called Khan in Mobei. Ali Buge was finished, and Du Ge came again. The focus of the Mongol Yuan army was often in Mobei. Similarly, even his own people could not effectively manage his own land. So, can the Central Plains dynasty have any ability to do this? Several people thought about it, just as the little emperor said, there was nothing he could do!

Therefore, why did the Central Plains dynasty defeat the nomadic forces in Mobei many times in the past dynasties, but why did the Mobei forces often "recover"? In fact, the reason is very simple. The Central Plains dynasty could only defeat them and evacuate. The ancient Central Plains dynasty had no choice but to manage places like Mobei, and there was no place to learn.

Why don’t you have a place to learn? Because the indigenous powers in Mobei cannot solve the long-term problem of how to manage Mobei. But once the Mobei regime is lucky enough to conquer the Central Plains, it’s so simple. Just copy the Central Plains and transform into the Central Plains dynasty. However, the new Mobei power was born. The Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jurchens that rose to the northeast, and the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongolians that rose to the north, and after the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, they were still troubled by this.

"Your Majesty, is it helpless to say that in this way the barbarians in the north?" Han Zhen asked again.

"There were nomenclatures in the north, and some of them worked well," Zhao Bing said, "The decision made by the Han Dynasty on the Huns was to win over and divide the upper nobles, pursue and attack the northern tribes of the desert. It even forced the Southern Huns to continue to move to the mainland, assimilate them, and change their lifestyles."

"The decision of the Tang Dynasty was to set up counties in Kaizhou in the eastern part of the Western Regions, build fortresses in the southern part of the Moon, and station elite troops to monitor. We will support pro-Tang forces in the northern part of the Moon and the northern part of the Western Regions, and use vassal generals!" Zhao Bing signaled Xu Wunan to spread the map. He pointed with his fingers, "It is basically that Moon North can be ignored. Moon South must be controlled to strictly prevent the barbarians from invading Yanyun and Shaanxi and Gansu. The Western Regions should be paid more attention to the Western Regions than Moon North. After losing Moon North, he quickly recognized Hou Tuque and Uighurs, but he has always been enterprisingly oriented towards the Western Regions."

"Your Majesty's intention is that all dynasties control the barbarians in the north, one in the Western Regions and the other in the southern desert. The purpose is to prevent the barbarians from obtaining a large amount of wealth, so they cannot grow. However, the northern desert is deserted, and the products are not abundant, and they cannot be cultivated. If they deviate from the trade route, it is difficult to obtain wealth. They can be abandoned when necessary." Han Zhenyan said.

"Yes, fighting is not only about military strength, but also about national strength, that is, who has money and food. The economy is weak, and even if it can be dominated for a while, it will be difficult for a long time. When the barbarians occupy these two places, they can learn from the Central Plains to cultivate and obtain food and wealth. They do not need to rely too much on the Central Plains, and they have the capital to fight south!" Zhao Bing said.

"Our dynasty has serious problems with the borders of self-esteem. The Khitan, Jurchen, and Dangxiang all posed a threat to our dynasty. It must be because of this!" Han Zhen thought what the little emperor said was reasonable and sighed.

"Although the rise and fall of a country is not due to a city and a land, it is also an important reason." Zhao Bing said, "Our dynasty failed to recover Yan Yun, and there was no geographical risk to defend, and it was unable to fundamentally cut off its economic source. It was innately under passive circumstances. Moreover, its strategy for barbarians has always been to pursue and fight hard when advancing, and to cede territory and seek peace when defeating, and to pay tribute to the people. It did not consider long-term effective interference in its political situation, and even to be at a disadvantage."

In fact, he didn't say anything, but he couldn't say it in front of these people. The Song Dynasty emphasized culture and over military personnel. The military personnel had a low status and could only do simple military achievements. Therefore, the military personnel had a narrow vision, and they were satisfied with killing people with military achievements. There were few generals who could manage one side. Why? Because, except for the early heroes and a few warlords who met by chance, you were not qualified to manage one side in the Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of the literati and officials, the task of the military man is to rush fiercely. As for the generals and prime ministers like the military man in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to govern the military. However, literati generally have extreme attitudes towards the frontiers, either extreme defense or extreme attack. As for how to manage the military man? If you let literati go to Xifan where there is a fixed place, you can still use your hands and feet in the southwest Yi region, and what can you do on the grassland?

Why is there a lack of talents to govern nomadic tribes? To put it bluntly, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty of "southern people". Since its establishment, Liao, Xia, Jin and Yuan have successively penetrated North China, and the north suffered wars for a long time. China's economic center of gravity completely moved south. The Han people in the south became the main body of China for the first time, and the Han people in the north were greatly damaged. After the migration of the south, the government's decision-making groups were basically southerners, and they lacked their understanding of the situation in the north.

"Your Majesty ended the Northern Expedition, and his intention was not to be a matter of money, but to make the civil strife of the Mongol Yuan start again and then take advantage of the troubled waters!" Chen Dun interrupted at this time.

"Oh, where are you talking about this?" Zhao Bing looked at him and asked.

"Well..." Chen Dun pondered for a moment and organized the following language, "Your Majesty, from a military perspective, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, after it captured Jiangnan, Kublai Khan adjusted his military layout. Because the Mongolian Yuan occupied a vast area, the geographical conditions, economic significance, political importance of various places, whether it is close to the capital, and ethnic composition, etc., are completely different. Considering that the number of Mongolian army and the Central Runner-up is relatively limited, the Mongolian Yuan established a flexible and flexible provincial garrison system with clear primary and secondary characteristics."

"The army of the Mongols and Semu people is the most reliable politically and military forces, mainly stationed in both capitals and surrounding areas, the Mongolian grasslands, Manchuria and the northern part of the Central Plains. For the empire, these areas have important strategic significance, and the allocation of military resources is also carried out accordingly. In addition, geographical conditions are also one of the considerations, because the terrain and climatic conditions of these areas are relatively more suitable for soldiers and tactics from the grasslands." Seeing that His Majesty did not object, Chen Dun pointed to the map and continued.

"From the situation where we are fighting with the enemy, Mongolian troops are rare in the areas south of the Huai River. Usually the provincial garrison troops are composed of northerners and new affiliated troops. The major cities in the south of the Yangtze River and transportation hubs in the Yangtze River basin are heavily stationed by Mongolian troops, while remote areas with relatively unimportant strategic positions do not require special defense. This may be related to the warm climate, dense river networks and rugged terrain that the Yuan Dynasty thought was more suitable for Han troops than for Mongolian and Semu troops."

"In terms of relations with the imperial court, there are also differences between the Mongolian army and Han army. The Mongolian guards' personal army and garrison troops, especially those stationed in the northern part of the Central Plains, the Mongolian grasslands, and the northeastern region, are directly under the Ministry of War; and the Han garrison troops in the south of the Huai River are responsible to the provinces where they are located. They hope that this scattered command structure can maintain control over the southern military, and the Mongolians or Semu people will serve as the highest commander of the province, and directly appointed by the Ministry of War, can effectively prevent the power from being too concentrated in the hands of a certain person, thereby improving the reliability of military control, so as not to cause the Han army to threaten the court with great influence."

"I'm talking a little bit interesting, let's continue!" Zhao Bing nodded.

"Now, the new affiliated troops, Han troops and garrisons in the south of the Mongolian Yuan were basically wiped out in the battle of our country's recovery of Jiangnan. Last year's Northern Expedition, the Mongolian and Semutun troops in Wanhu Prefecture, two Mongolian capitals in Henan and Shandong were almost wiped out, and the last navy army also lost its combat effectiveness. Then the Mongolian Yuan had to mobilize the personal troops guarding the capital to block our army's troops. After the battle was again, they were severely damaged, and the two Huai and Jingxiang were all lost. The Zongwang army, which forced the Zhenjin transfer to the grassland, went south to serve the king to protect the capital, which completely broke the original arrangement of the Mongolian Yuan." Chen Dun said.

"We know all the things you said. What does it have to do with the end of the Northern Expedition and the dispute with the enemy?" Liu Zhu frowned and said in a nagging manner.

"Shou, don't be impatient, listen to me." Chen Dun said with a smile, "The results of this Northern Expedition not only annihilated a large number of Mongolian Yuan's troops and captured Lianghuai and Jingxiang, but also one thing is that it broke the political balance of Mongolian Yuan and cut off the important source of Mongolian Yuan's tax acquisition. Is it, Your Majesty?"

"Set me!" Zhao Bing smiled but did not answer, and asked him to continue.

"In the past, the Mongol Yuan relied on the personal army of guards, mainly Han army to check and balance the zong king army on the grassland, and used the zong king army to suppress the rebellious kings to achieve the goal of balancing various forces." Chen Dun said with a polite manner, "Your Majesty just said that if the northern nomadic peoples want to be king, they must have money. In order to prevent chaos in the fundamental area, the Mongol Yuan attacked each other and enfeoffed the zong kings, and designated grasslands for them to not cross the boundaries. They sent people to inspect household registration and liquidate the people, and according to the reorganization of thousands of households, they firmly tied them to the designated grasslands and accepted recruitment. If they want to be obedient, it is not enough to enfeoff the land, and the Yuan court also needs to provide funding and rewards. However, their wealth and wealth are now lost, so the court will not be able to supplement the grassland tribes."

"When the Han army declined and the imperial control over the grassland declined, the grassland kings would inevitably be ready to fight for the grassland for their own interests and attack each other. On the other hand, the Han area implemented a military household system, and soldiers had some salary, or could obtain tax-free land from the court, and did not need to bear labor, but they had to bear weapons, war horses and equipment on their own, and also had to be transferred to a distant station. But the current situation is that the provincial garrison troops with small military pay, insufficient military strength, and low morale were simply unable to fight against the king's army of the grassland clan. In this way, the political balance was broken!" Chen Dun said.
