The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 506: How to cause an accident to happen to the saint

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had a strong desire to expand territory, but they had the original intention of governance and were much weaker in killing.

Before Prince Zhu Biaowei passed away due to illness, Zhu Yuanzhang had already deployed in Shaanxi Xingdusi for several years, relocating military households to resume production, and sending veteran generals to win over local forces.

A lot of preparations were made for the Western Expedition, but the sudden death of Prince Zhu Biao interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

From the day Prince Zhu Biao died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang began to focus on domestic affairs.

Arrived at Zhu Di.

In order to prove himself, Zhu Di had a great desire to expand his territory.

He conquered the desert five times, occupied Annan in the south, and made seven voyages to the Western Ocean.

Unfortunately, the environment is different.

The 300 years from the [-]th century to the [-]th century was a period when Mongolia's world rule entered a period of collapse. Although the Ming Dynasty was the first to recover from Mongol rule, there were still boundless Mongolian forces in Central Asia, Western Asia, and even the desert.

Although the people were defeated by Zhu Di, they could still gain blood from Central and West Asia. They were resurrected one after another, surrendered and rebelled again, and could not carry out effective governance.

In the end, it was thanks to the tribute trade system, and in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, that the Mongolian power had been defeated, and they began to truly pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

For example, I am Dahan.

From the day when Anda Khan professed his tribulation to the Ming Dynasty, no matter how sincere he was, the fact that he had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty along with hundreds of Taiji under him meant that some things were gone forever.

An Dahan could no longer unite his men to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, if his descendants wanted to move to Qinghai to study Buddhism, they had to petition the Ming Emperor in advance and obtain the Ming Emperor's consent before they could move to Qinghai.

This is why the Qing Dynasty was able to stabilize the desert after defeating the Great Khan of Mongolia, but Emperor Yongle in the early Ming Dynasty could not.

It was not because Kangxi was more powerful than Zhu Di, but because the world structure was different, and at that time there was also the Rakshasa Kingdom coming from the west.

Having completely declined on the world stage, and with ruthless and powerful enemies chasing from the west, choosing one of the two is already the last option.

Just like at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the tribe of Nuergan chose to submit to the Ming Dynasty instead of North Korea. For the same reason, the tribes in the desert would only choose to submit to the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is the Celestial Empire.

Inertial thinking in people's minds.

But just like the pattern of the world, although Mongolia has begun to decline on the world stage, some areas are still expanding.

Not to mention the Golden Horde, although the Timur Empire does not belong to the Mongol Khanate, it can be regarded as having a complicated relationship.

Zhu Gaochi was a little worried that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had the same thoughts.

"The emperor originally said that 50 military households would be dispatched. Although my grandson did not agree with the dispatch of 50 military households, 50 people would be immigrated."

Pointing to the map.

Zhu Gaochi said, "Hami takes the Shazhou and Guazhou areas as the main population migration areas, with 10 people immigrating, and then Hami City area, with 5 people immigrating, for a total population of 15."

Then he pointed at Yili.

"From the Hami City area through the 'corridor' into Yilipali, with Turpan, Besbali and Verumu as the densely populated areas to the east, 20 people will be relocated."

"Father, you can go to Yilibaoli, but you can't go beyond this place. Leave the western area of ​​Yilibali to the black children."

Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed reluctant.

You can obviously swallow it whole, so why compromise?

"Hami has two large and densely populated areas, so Yili is here. Let's see, there are at least three."

Zhu Yuanzhang drew three circles.

The first circle is the area Zhu Gaochi just mentioned, the second circle is the area with Yili Bali as the core, and the third circle is my dry area.

It just includes the middle plain area sandwiched between the two large deserts in the north and south of Yili. Rivers and green spaces are basically located in these three areas.

Areas suitable for farming and grazing were completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

The endless deserts and deserts left behind, areas where people cannot survive for a long time, are natural defense situations.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to leave my work to the black fire man.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Do you think it's a good intention for you to leave my work to others? They will only appreciate it."

"If we are the evil ones, we will go back and fight with Daming. How can we easily give up Yili City and the whole area?"

"He shouldn't dare."

Zhu Gaochi said.

The Chagatai Khanate was the vanguard against the Yuan Dynasty, and later began to implement the policy of reconciliation with the Yuan Dynasty. However, from the early fourteenth century, the Chagatai Khanate entered a period of turmoil.

Even in the middle of the fourteenth century, it split into the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate.

Timur was born in the Western Chagatai Khanate.

The Western Chagatai Khanate has become Timur's territory, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate includes the current Yili.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate has been in constant war, and the hundreds of years of war have burned out the vitality of this land.

Although Heidierhuozhe is the successor of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, facing the current situation, he chose to befriend the Ming Dynasty and wanted to use the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to restore the unity of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

His expectation was not realized in history until he died in the Wara Junggar tribe in the early seventeenth century.

Then there was the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar tribe. After the victory, a massacre was carried out in the local area, and hundreds of thousands of Han people were soon relocated from the interior.

Today's black Erhuo people do not have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

From his easy departure from Beslopali, it has been proved that he has an idea and will not stick to the land.

But Yili also realized that the environment here is different from that in the desert.

The large deserts and mountains in Yilibaoli make it possible that although Yilibaoli is extremely vast and has a vast territory, it does not have as large a strategic space as the desert.

in contrast.

Because there are only a few passages and exits in the large deserts and mountains, the way out of Yili is very blocked.

It also tried to include Xinjiang in later generations, as well as the territory of Central Asia.From the east to the central region, there are large deserts and large mountains on both sides. It only needs to control the Ili River Valley in later generations.

But after leaving the Ili River Valley, the climate and geographical environment of Central Asia began to improve. The large deserts and large mountains were not incapable of life and could support a small population.

That is why Afghanistan in later generations was able to persist. The large deserts and mountains instead became guerrilla barriers.

Zhu Gaochi drew a line.

“Our actual governance scope ends at the Yilibari area, with Atami as the furthest boundary.”

Everyone looked around, and Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at the map.

Atami is the Issyk-Kul Lake in later generations.

Lake Issyk-Kul is located in the later country of Kyrgyzstan.

With Rehai as the dividing line, beyond the Ili River Valley, the outside area opens up, with grasslands, deserts, mountains, basins, and complex terrain.

In short, it is no longer a region where controlling corridors solves everything.

"The western region will be handed over to the management of the black Erhuo. It belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. First, restore the productivity of Hami and Yiliba, so that the local people will love the Ming Dynasty."

The emperor's strategy was conservative.

Jin Zhong agreed.

The other officials also looked at the emperor's grandson with admiration. Nowadays, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, blind expansion regardless of the situation is a common problem for many rulers.

Seeing that his grandson insisted on his idea, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask any more questions.

Sun Er only thinks about things that go smoothly, but Zhu Yuanzhang believes that he should be prepared for the worst. Is the black son really willing to accept it?
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head, and left the Wenhua Hall without saying a word.

According to Zhu Gaochi's plan, the officials went their own way and recruited immigrants from both military households and civilian households.

……

Wuchang.

Chu palace.

Zhu Zhen and his guards looked at the large construction site of the Wuchang Smelting Center headquarters from a distance. The invisible end made Zhu Zhen feel heavy in his heart.

"I heard that although the princes in the north were released to the prince's palace, their power was not restored, and even the palace guards were disbanded."

An official from the Changshi Mansion of King Chu said.

Zhu Zhen turned around and did not look at the official who had just spoken.

For the sake of his late second brother, Zhu Zhen did not treat Chang Shi badly when he fled south from Prince Qin's palace and was taken in by him.

Gu Yingshi was not afraid that King Chu would fall out.

The Changshi Mansion of the King of Qin began to fight among themselves after the death of the old King of Qin, but with the invasion of the new army in Peiping, they had nothing.

No one wanted to lose power. Gu Yingshi even had a secret letter from the new King of Qin, but he didn't take it out because it was not the time yet.

The biggest hope at hand is King Chu.

As the sixth son of a sage, the King of Chu not only became a feudal lord early, but also led large armies on many expeditions.

Whether it is the ability to lead troops or the military strength in hand, it is currently the largest among the other vassal kings.

China Heavy Industries' tentacles have reached deep into Wuchang.

Isn’t it exactly the same as the situation in Shaanxi back then?

By the time China Heavy Industries had established a firm foothold in Wuchang, the King of Chu would have ended up with the same fate as the King of Qin, King Jin, King Ning, King Qi, King Liao, and King Zhou.

"You have too much on your mind."

Zhu Zhen said coldly.

Although the King of Chu was only in his thirties, he began to lead troops in the 14th year of Hongwu to pacify the barbarians, conquer Yunnan, capture Alutu alive, conquer the Western Barbarians, and annihilate the Dongyi...

After 20 years of conquest, he achieved great success.

If we look at the time spent in suppressing rebellions and conquests, as well as the number of times he led armies, etc., King Chu's achievements are no worse than Zhu Di's.

Even in some aspects, he is stronger than King Zhu Di of Yan.

The stability of the western, southwest, southern, and central regions of the Ming Dynasty was basically inseparable from the presence of the King of Chu.

You must know that although the Yuan Dynasty died, it is only the fourteenth century now and has not entered the fifteenth century.

Asia, except East Asia, still belongs to the Mongol era.

There are also forces left by Mongolia in the country. They are not willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty obediently. They are also ambitious.

The Han people have been inferior people for hundreds of years.

The blow to the prestige of the Han people was huge. Many forces were confident that they could do it themselves.

Gu Yingshi was scolded by the King of Chu. Not only was he not angry, but he was secretly happy.

The more he came into contact with King Chu, the more Gu Yingshi felt that he had come to the right place.

Is the King of Chu willing to lose such power?

It must be unwilling.

The King of Yan is thousands of miles away, and the one who oversees the country is only the King of Yan's son. As long as the saint has an accident, why can't he succeed?

It's not like there are no examples of people who died through force. Gu Yingshi had many plans to target, and now he was thinking about the saint.

How can an accident happen?

It requires people's cooperation.

Gu Yingshi thought of someone.
