The emperor's words made everyone very upset, especially Han Zhen, who could be said to be one of the few Confucian generals in the Song army, and he understood that His Majesty was right. Not to mention the past, after Qin unified the six countries, the country was strong and the troops were strong. He sent the general Meng Tian to severely damage the Huns in the north repeatedly, but he still could not completely eliminate the border troubles and had to spend huge sums of money to collect millions of men to build the Great Wall.

When the Han Dynasty was just established, the north was also facing the invasion of the Huns. Liu Bang was almost captured in the siege of the White Horse and had to implement a policy of marriage to eliminate border troubles. It was not until the rehabilitation of Emperor Wu that years of rest gave them the capital to counterattack, and they successively sent generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to sweep the south and north of the desert, and defeated the Huns, leading to their division.

After the Han Dynasty eliminated the Northern Xiongnu, it allowed the Xianbei to develop, but in fact there was no way to manage the northern desert. After the Wang Mang Rebellion, the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty was to use the contradictions between the Northern and Southern Xiongnu to maintain peace in the north. When the national strength declined, the rise of the Qiang people led to the expansion of warlord forces in the Western Liang region such as Dong Zhuo, which laid the groundwork for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in history, but there was still no good way for the nomadic peoples in the north. After destroying Xueyantuo, various governors were set up in the north of Mobei. In fact, Mobei was controlled by the new powers of the Uighurs. What the Tang Dynasty could do was to send management and monitor the Uighurs. For example, after the death of the Uighur leader Tu Midu, Wuhe and Porun competed for the throne. Yuan Lichen, an official of the Tang Dynasty, could not kick the Uighurs away from the Uighurs who managed their own tribes. He could only kill Wuhe who rebel against the Tang Dynasty and support Porun who established his relatives.

Finally, the Anshi Rebellion even occurred, which led to the Tang Dynasty's slump. Since then, nomadic invasions continued. Entering the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, several nomadic peoples established regimes, and the Central Plains was in turmoil until Taizu established the country and established the Song Dynasty. However, this dynasty failed to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and was always at a disadvantage in the war with the northern nomadic peoples.

This dynasty could try various ways and fought fierce wars with the Khitan and Dangxiang, but in the end they all paid ‘annual monies’ for peace. The Jurchen invasion almost destroyed the country and had to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River. The war with the subsequent Mongol Yuan lasted for more than 40 years and was exhausted, but they still did not escape the fate of ‘destroying the country’.

"Your Majesty, is it because of this that our dynasty stopped the Northern Expedition and stopped moving forward?" Now that the young emperor has restored his country, he has finally recovered Jiangnan for ten years. This Northern Expedition has basically restored the territory after the southward migration. It should be said that it is the greatest victory achieved since the outbreak of the Yuan War. But after this, Han Zhen is really unwilling to accept it.

"Of course not. My wish is to recover the Central Plains and chase the Tartars away. This wish has not been realized yet. How could I stop the destruction of Yuan? Now I just take a break, not give up, and explore a new path." Zhao Bing said.

"Oh, I'm scared me. I thought Your Majesty stopped here and made peace with the Mongolian Yuan, and continued to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River!" Chen Dun patted his chest, saying authentically as if he was frightened.

"The Sa family also thought that Your Majesty was bewitched by those civil servants, and under their pressure, he gave up the plan to recover the Central Plains!" Dong Yicheng also smiled and said with a laugh.

"I advise you not to listen, and I have to give advice to Your Majesty in person. Don't worry!" Ni Liang snorted coldly from the side.

"Your Majesty is a great man. This time, he suddenly gave up the good situation and turned to peace with the Mongolian Yuan. It must be a plan again, right?" Liu Zhu also said with relief.

"It should be true!" Zhao Bing chuckled and nodded, "You generals are all military commanders of the Song Dynasty. As your identity changes, your perspective of considering problems must also change. You must understand that war is not only a military contest, but also a variety of factors such as national strength, people's hearts, and even national systems. The outbreak of war is also a product of irreconcilable contradictions between multiple factors, so you must look at the overall situation and understand the situation to ensure the victory of the war."

"I'm going to be taught!" several people said politely.

"If we want to completely defeat the Mongolian Yuan, we must not only look at the current situation, but also analyze it from a historical perspective!" Zhao Bing continued, "The establishment of nomadic power in history is actually traceable, and we can also learn from it to solve the current dilemma."

"Your Majesty, the establishment of the nomadic regime on the grassland is nothing more than whose tribe is powerful, and whose troops are numerous and warriors can dominate the north and south of the desert?" Chen Fenglin said.

"Wrong, dominating the grassland is not only the number of soldiers and the number of war horses, but who is richer and who can get more money, that is, have an advantage in the economy." Zhao Bing said.

"Oh, can the heroes in the world be good at making money like Your Majesty?" Chen Dun teased.

"Absolutely!" Perhaps only Chen Dun dared to speak like this. He didn't think it was the reason for everyone.

The ‘economic foundation determines the superstructure’ is applicable in modern times. After coming to this world, Zhao Bing found that it was also applicable in ancient times, and it was no exception to the nomadic regime. With his ‘study’, nomadic power has also explored a set of methods to establish regimes in the historical changes:

The first thing is to rob. Yes, robbery. Since they have become nomadic powers, their military strength must be very strong, so they can only rely on war to support the war. By the way, the labor cost is distributed to each tribe. I don’t ask each tribe to give me economic taxes. I only ask each tribe to give me symbolic tributes, but I have to bear the labor cost, give me people, do odd jobs and cannon fodder. Then I follow me to rob, and the big head of the robbery belongs to me, and the small head belongs to each tribe.

This plan is based on the military capabilities and luck of the nomadic power leaders. For luck, why is luck? Because war is in the right time, place, people and all have, so that they can win every battle. In order to maintain the economic advantages of the Khanate, nomadic power is forced to fight many wars that are not in the right time, place, people and people and people. This is a great fortune. Sometimes even if you win, it may not be worth the loss, so it is not a long-term solution at all.

Then, the second solution is, to reach an agreement with the Central Plains court to receive New Year's money. This is what was called "year-old monies" and "year-old gifts" in ancient times. In order to maintain its economic advantages over the local area, the central government of nomadic power must often rob, and the optimal target of robbery is often the border areas of the Central Plains court. However, this robbery is a high-risk collision for nomadic power. For the Central Plains court, it is a very upset and disgusting harassment.

Therefore, if both sides are in a state of war and the Central Plains dynasty cannot effectively defeat the main force of nomadic power, then hostility to each other is not good for anyone. For nomadic power, if you cannot break through a solid city, the income from robbery may be insufficient. For the Central Plains dynasty, long-term border recession will cause damage to the authority of the dynasty.

In this way, the two sides hit it off, nomadic power promised not to rob, and the Central Plains dynasty promised to give nomadic power a sum of New Year's money every year. This is the "year-old monies". It will be upgraded to engage in trade and trade, the central monopoly of nomadic power and the trade in the Central Plains, and maintain economic advantages over other tribes. However, this plan is also a hidden danger for nomadic power, because the differences in the systems of the two sides can easily cause misunderstandings between each other.

When the two sides reached an agreement, the Central Plains dynasty would take it for granted that the internal internal of the nomadic power was uniform. Therefore, the Khan of the nomadic power promised not to rob, but the leaders of the tribes who nominally surrendered to the Khan may not be obedient. But for the Central Plains dynasty, this is not trustworthy, so even if the Khan of the nomadic power was peaceful, the Central Plains dynasty would not really give them peace.

Secondly, the initiative of the simple New Year’s money is actually in the Central Plains dynasty. If the economic advantages of nomadic power are all relied on the New Year’s money of the Central Plains dynasty and maximize the monopoly position of trade in the Central Plains, then the Xiongnu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Uighurs in the Tang Dynasty, and the Shunyi regime in the Ming Dynasty will end up in the later years.

In addition, the Central Plains dynasty can use annual monies and trade as a tool to curb the nomadic regime, interfere with their internal affairs, and destroy their stability. If the Central Plains dynasty finds out, it turns out that Khan is the leader, and others may not necessarily listen to Khan completely. Then the Central Plains dynasty will choose to find another grassland man to give him some economic support, so that the nomadic regime will be trapped in a civil war for a long time.

Finally, that is, I also farm. As a nomadic power, since I cannot rely solely on robbery, such as gambling that can collide with great fortune, nor simply think that I can be the boss by receiving New Year’s money, so why can’t I learn from the Central Plains dynasty and farm to produce my own economic advantages? That’s completely OK, but the environment in Mobei cannot farm.

So where to farm, there are two options: one is the Western Regions, and the other is the marginal areas of the southern Mo and the Central Plains. If you master these areas of farming, you only need the tribes in the northern Mo to provide me with human resources. I don’t want the economy of the northern Mo. I don’t even look down on the little New Year’s money given to me by the Central Plains dynasty. I can let the people of the Central Plains pay me taxes in the marginal areas of the Central Plains. I can also let the people of the Western Regions pay me taxes.

This trick is the most powerful. Going to farm in the Western Regions is the practice of the Xiongnu and the Turks in the heyday. The Xiongnu in the heyday could fight against the Han Dynasty in the rising period. The Turks in the heyday could even rebel against the Central Plains dynasty and let the Turkish princesses marry the emperor in the Central Plains. Not to mention, farming on the edge of the Central Plains is their practice.
