Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Aunt Zhu was reviewing memorials at the imperial case in the Hall of Martial Arts, with a concentrated expression, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes shaking her head or nodding.

Suddenly the sound of footsteps came from the corridor door connecting the main hall and the apse, but it was Liu Shuying who came over with a telegram and a happy face.

"Report to Your Majesty, Jingnan Marquis Huang Degong has sent a telegram saying that Qinghai achieved two great victories yesterday!"

After speaking, he handed the telegram to Liu Zhu.

Auntie Zhu took the telegram from Liu Zhu, and quickly browsed through it, with a faint smile on her pretty face.

Although she knew that the strength of the new Ming army was much stronger than that of the Heshuote Khanate, she was still pleasantly surprised by the two great victories in Gaxi and Haiyan in one day.

Among them, the great victory in Gaxi was obtained by Li Yuanyin, a member of the Third Battalion of the Second Town of the Imperial Guard Army. They defeated more than [-] Qinghai soldiers led by Omubu in a place called Gaxi in the south of Qinghai.

During the battle, more than 3000 people were killed and nearly [-] were captured, including more than [-] people from Omubu and his cavalry.

The victory in Haiyan was led by Xin Sizhong's No.16 Town, Xu Chong's No.13 Town (Huang Degong Dubiao Town), Li Ren's No.17 Town, and the Gansu Garrison. Obtained by soldiers.

Hao Guangming changed his mind, and said again: "However, the Ming army was able to defeat the Qinghai soldiers through defensive counterattacks, but it may not be so smooth when they actively pursue and suppress the enemy in the vast Qinghai and Xikang areas.

Hearing Yuan Jixian's words, Hao Guangming from the Zhulin Old House, regardless of what the other military ministers thought, said it was amazing.

"The success of the Northwest War has exceeded my expectations. So far, more than half of the troops of the Heshuote Khanate in Qinghai have been wiped out by our new Ming army. Therefore, I intend to take advantage of the victory and take Qinghai and Xikang. What do you think? "

Seeing this, Zhu Yuxi briefly talked about the development and utilization of geothermal energy and wind energy in later generations.

At the same time, taking over the Qinghai-Tibet area can also make Sichuan and even Gansu the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty, free from foreign enemies from now on.

In addition, how to govern and defend the territory after Ming regained Qinghai and Xikang also needs to be resolved..."

After hearing this, Yuan Jixian thought about the Qinghai-Tibet region in his impression, and wanted to retort, "surplus? How is this possible?".

In addition, the two victories also captured cattle and sheep (nomads use cattle and sheep as military rations), and nearly [-] horses!
In this regard, more than half of the soldiers and horses deployed by the Heshuote Khanate in Qinghai were wiped out by Ming Dynasty!
Out of joy, Auntie Zhu immediately shared the matter with Hao Guangming.

As for the fact that the imperial court's expenditure in these places will be greater than the profit, it is not unsolvable.

At the same time, the Qinghai-Tibet region is also extremely rich in solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy that can be developed and utilized..."

Then there are two fuels, oil and natural gas, which will not lose their status to coal in a hundred years.

"Ah."

In the past, Taizu and Chengzu both intended to directly rule the Qinghai-Tibet region and Xikang, but in the end they all failed. There were reasons for this, and I hope Your Majesty will think about it. "

After careful calculation, the imperial court's collection, management, and defense of Qinghai and Xikang must have cost a lot of money. The tax revenue obtained from these two places is definitely not enough, and the imperial court may have to continue to subsidize it.

After all, these two places have belonged to Daming in name since the founding of the country by your Taizu, and it is well-known to send troops to recover it. "

The ministers pondered for a while, then Yuan Jixian got up and said: "Your Majesty, I think you need to be cautious about collecting Qinghai and Xikang areas.

Ministers of military aircraft can understand that solar energy can be used, but geothermal energy and wind energy can also be used by people?
For a moment, Yuan Jixian and the others showed expressions of surprise.

···
The next day, Aunt Zhu held a military meeting to discuss the Qinghai issue.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhu said: "Qinghai, Xikang and even Tibet, my Ming Dynasty must collect them, because it is related to my Ming Dynasty's future global strategic layout.

Hao Guangming said: "I didn't expect the Heshuote Khanate to fight so hard. From this point of view, the strategy we formulated at the beginning was a bit conservative.

Now that more than half of their soldiers and horses in Qinghai have been wiped out, can Daming take advantage of the victory and take over Qinghai and Xikang areas?

At the end, Hao Guangming kept his voice down, but he also thought about this matter with his heart.

Seeing that Lu Zhenfei had finished asking, the other ministers of military affairs also showed curiosity. Aimee Zhu thought about the many things she had discussed with Hao Guangming last night, so she decided to give these ministers a brief science popularization.

Aunt Zhu said: "Your Majesty can consider these matters first, and we can discuss them together when we come back tonight."

She said with a smile: "First of all, we can develop the mineral resources in the Qinghai-Tibet region, which is vast and rich in various mineral resources.

No one spoke after that.

After hearing Hao Guangming's words, Auntie Zhu pondered for a while, thinking about it.

He's not worried about not being able to solve it.

But thinking about Aimee Zhu's supernatural powers, the existence of the emperor, and all the miracles that this couple brought to Daming, I am speechless.

During the battle, nearly [-] Qinghai soldiers were wiped out, the eighth son of Gushi Khan, Gonbu, was killed, and the fifth son of Gushhan Khan, Ilduqi, the sixth son, Dorji, and more than [-] Qinghai soldiers were captured!

So, what benefits can we benefit from the lands of Qinghai and Xikang?

It's a pity that they are not descendants after all, and their vision is still limited by the times.

Second, although Qinghai and Xikang are vast areas, most of the people are Mongolian and Tibetan nomads.

In addition to the gold, silver, copper and iron that Zhu Qing is familiar with, there are also many other useful metal minerals.Although most of them cannot be mined by our Ming Dynasty at this stage, we do not prevent them from being reserved for future generations.

At this moment, Lu Zhenfei said: "Your Majesty, can you tell us about the development of the Qinghai-Tibet region? I really don't know what benefits the imperial court can gain from such a cold place on the plateau."

Even if Qinghai is successfully captured, how should the imperial court manage it?In such a vast land, how many soldiers and horses should be deployed to guard the people in the territory?

After Yuan Jixian spoke, Huang Daozhou and Lu Zhenfei got up successively to express their agreement with his ideas.

It can only be said that Yuan Jixian and other ministers are indeed the top talents of Ming Dynasty. Now they are used to the thinking mode of later generations guided by Aunt Zhu. Combined with some information that Aunt Zhu opened to them, their views on state affairs have become more and more brilliant.

First, a more reasonable governance method can be used to minimize the cost of governance.The same is true in guarding the territory and protecting the people.

At the beginning of the meeting, Auntie Zhu still pointed out the topic, which was discussed by the ministers of military affairs.

Finally, the governance of the country cannot be all based on interests, it needs to be considered comprehensively and for a long time. "

If there is no geographical advantage, even if our Ming army is well-equipped, it may not be able to win the Heshuote Khanate repeatedly in Qinghai and Xikang.

First, the biggest victory our Ming army has won this time is the Battle of Haiyan. This battle was mainly because the soldiers of the garrison relied on Haiyan Village to hold on, which created the opportunity for the three border guards to encircle the Qinghai soldiers.

In the later life, even if there are problems that his wisdom cannot solve, he can refer to many materials and even ask netizens on the Internet.

Second, the imperial court can develop these places to obtain more benefits, and then offset the expenditure of the imperial court, and even have a surplus.

Finally, Aunt Zhu said: "In addition to various minerals and energy sources, the extreme geographical environment of the Qinghai-Tibet region is actually a kind of wealth, which can help our Ming Dynasty to improve related scientific research technologies in the future.

In addition, the abundant water resources, grasslands, and forests there are also of great use to my Ming Dynasty now or in the future. "

Having said that, Zhu Yuxi paused, and said in a sincere and solemn tone: "Masters, Qingzang must take it for my Shenzhou's century-old plan!"

First more.

(The custom of paying New Year's greetings is really annoying...)
