I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 316 United Front
Enemies without are good for unity within.

Long before Huang Yi led his troops on the expedition, successive battles had already allowed the attached Mongolian tribes to find their backbone.

No matter how chaotic the Central Plains was, the political framework of the Ming Dynasty did not collapse. At least there were still some places that had their own peace.

It's different on this prairie. People's panic can be respite under the protection of the Xinghe Army. For these Mongolian tribes, it can be regarded as grabbing a life-saving straw.

Huang Yi has always had a united front mentality, winning many friends and making few enemies.

This is why the base area where Huang Yi has been fighting for as long as he has been out of the city has become more crowded since Huang Yi came back.

Among them, the active mediation efforts of Huxiaogu, Huxiaochuan, Chalahe and Gerda were indispensable.

Everyone is boasting that Zheng He was the earliest ocean-going navy in the world's history. Many people even boasted that compared to Columbus's ocean-going conquests, Zheng He was the master of civilization and did not harm the nations along the way.

But I don’t know how many people recall the past without sighing!
Columbus's colonialism reigned of terror along the way, including burning, looting, and looting. How many business opportunities did it create and how much wealth did it bring back?

And Zheng He's voyages to the West.

Alas, this is the difference between official behavior and private behavior.

What Zheng He wanted in his voyages to the West was to show the great power of the Celestial Kingdom, to pursue a face-saving project, and to bring about the tide of all nations.

Since you are going out to show off your wealth, of course you won't care about it.

And folk behavior must be for money!
The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty was originally intended for post-war reconstruction, and was a last resort choice in a state of extreme lack of money.

Since the household registration system is to be introduced, people cannot be allowed to run around.

This led to the maritime ban.

The maritime ban harms the country!It is because of this thing that no matter how Zheng He's fleet blocks out the sky, it is impossible for it to be followed by groups of vibrant private fleets.

The imperial court's next trip to the West was a waste of money, and it failed to stimulate private trade to raise funds.

How many times can such a loss-making transaction happen?
Were the people of the Ming Dynasty not that capable of building a maritime power?

No!Because sea trade was prohibited, coastal residents had to become pirates in order to live a good life.

Everyone is talking about how powerful the Japanese pirates are, but few people know that the leader of the Japanese pirates who caused the most ferocity back then was named Wang Zhi. It’s not difficult to guess which country this product is from when you hear the name, right?This person is from Huizhou, Anhui Province!He is the leader on the entire East Asian sea!
What a pity, wait until tomorrow when the government reacts and lifts the sea ban.We have lost the power to develop overseas wealth.

The topic is off topic, but the purpose of telling this story at sea is to explain the strategy on land clearly.

The Age of Discovery led by Columbus was able to develop so many colonies. Why couldn't Huang Yi develop the vast countries in the Western Region along the Silk Road?

Since Huang Yi is from the future, he naturally cannot watch this happen again just like what happened in history.

What Huang Yi wants to promote is a new set of ideas, a set of discourse systems, and a set of legal systems, and then attract the largest number of people to participate in this big piece of cake.

The Mongols are originally from China, and it is only natural that they merge into the big family of the Xinghe Army.

"Teacher, look! There are so many horses." Huang Dayong saw the livestock herds outside the base area from a distance. "It seems that as the letter said, many of the Mongol tribes that were maimed have been gathered. There are only a small number of livestock here, and the pasture is limited. There should be many wandering around." Huang Yi took a rare rest. , put down those numerous government documents.

Since they are the protected party, of course these underground Mongolian tribes cannot continue to have absolute autonomy. The soldiers and horses that were drawn away, the women and children who were recruited into the city, and the livestock that were unified and transferred to the Xinghe Army for grazing, every day. All are shackles that firmly lock these 'eagles'.

An eagle, no matter how ferocious it is, is still an animal.

It's better to return to the ground and be more practical with two legs. They will understand what a wise decision it was to join the Xinghe Army.

"With so many dispersed Mongolians, can we get an idea of ​​Lin Dan's current location?" Once we returned to the base, there was not much time to reminisce, and there were so many things that needed to be done.

After hearing what Huang Yi was most concerned about, Huang Dapeng replied, "We can only know that we are heading towards Qinghai. Our spies have been searching in that direction while ensuring their own safety. It's just that the distance is too far. The message came back last time." The news was from three days ago. I don’t know if there is any new progress.”

Huang Yi nodded.

The imperial power system ordered by heaven is a very advanced ruling system.The combat effectiveness of agricultural civilization is naturally weaker than that of nomadic civilization. Therefore, in history, only the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty had the opportunity to conquer the world. In fact, the culture of the Eight-Power Allied Forces can be said to be a pirate civilization and a type of nomadic civilization.

But no matter who has a big fist and knocks down the colorful world of the Central Plains, they will be assimilated because this centralized political structure is indeed advanced.

Even if Huang Yi wants to promote the industrial revolution, he will not succeed overnight.

Although the cement factory in the base area is now in full swing, all kinds of craftsmen are studying hard every day.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the Xinghe Army can persist until its strength matures and emerges as a butterfly, the imperial power of the centralized system must still be used.

In the hand of Hu Duntu Lin Dan Khan is holding the Yuan Dynasty's Imperial Seal. The entire Mongolia was annexed by the Manchus only after Huang Taiji got the Imperial Seal.This can't happen again.

We have to find where Lin Dan Khan is first. As for how to specifically add a golden family title to the Xinghe Army... As long as the jade seal is obtained, there is always a way.

The troops have been taken out for such a long journey and need time to rest and recuperate.

The war ended earlier than expected. Now that they are reunited, the soldiers must have a good New Year.

Although Mongolian compatriots are not very aware of the Chinese New Year.Prairie by prairie's own customs.

Speaking of customs…

After chatting about some trivial matters, officials at all levels who received orders walked out of Huang Yi's tent and went about their own business.

Huang Dapeng stayed here. There were many changes in the base area, and the documents were not comprehensive. He had to deal with Huang Yi's questions here at any time.

Just then, Huang Yi thought of a particularly important thing that needed to be implemented.

"What religion do the Mongolians in the radiation area of ​​the base believe in now?"

"Huh?" Huang Dapeng didn't expect that Huang Yi, who had no taboos in his behavior, would suddenly ask about these supernatural things.

(Today, "The Soul of the Late Ming and Han Dynasty", which had been banned for two years, was finally released. I have so many emotions!)
