The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 557 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Teachings
Before the Jiaozhi rebellion, the king of the Champa Kingdom sent an envoy to Zhu Di of Jiaozhou to request the return of the land area of ​​Champa occupied by the former Li thieves and his son. Zhu Di asked the king of the Champa Kingdom to re-send an envoy on the grounds that the court needed to negotiate. Go to the capital.

the second year.

Cochin Rebellion.

The king of the Champa Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops, but he did not get any advantage from the Cochin rebels. During the siege, although the main force of the rebels was not present, the Champa army still did not capture the city. Instead, they came to the Ming Dynasty. Navy.

After the Ming Dynasty's navy appeared, the local defenders surrendered to the Ming Dynasty navy, and the Ming Dynasty's flag was re-established on the city.

The Champa Army did not dare to attack the city with the Ming Dynasty flag. After discussions, they saw that the Ming Dynasty navy had a firm attitude and had no choice but to retreat to the mountainous area.

Five years have passed since the Li thieves and his son invaded and occupied a large area of ​​​​the plain area of ​​the city, to the defeat of the Li thieves and his son, and even now.

The Champa Kingdom has reached the stage of destruction.

Because of the rebels, the second mission went to sea by ship and arrived in Guangxi. Then it passed the Guilin railway and arrived in the capital. It submitted a request from the Kingdom of Champa, hoping that the suzerain kingdom would return to the plains of Champa.

"Where there is civilization, there must be plains, because only in plains can we support the non-agricultural population through farming. Only with the non-agricultural population can we develop civilization. Otherwise, we can only maintain the life of primitive tribes."

The victory ahead made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

Hearing his grandson's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly and handed over the Ming Dynasty to them. Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved and no longer had any doubts.

As Zhu Gaochi said.

No matter whether the country is developing or regressing, problems will arise. Zhu Yuanzhang has given up hope of finding a solution for all generations, just as Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the founding monarchs with the lowest desire for longevity.

Zhu Gaochi had very complicated feelings for the old man in front of him.

Some people say that without Zhu Yuanzhang, there are still Li Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Yuanzhang and so on.

But the reality is that during the Ming Dynasty, there was no second Zhu Yuanzhang, but Chinese civilization completely declined and entered a long period of darkness, falling behind the world.

A centuries-long schism.

The northwest is gone, the north is gone, the northeast is gone, the south is gone, the southwest is gone
The local Han presence completely disappeared.

Even in the northern land, which has been the Central Plains since ancient times, the population of Han people has become a minority, several times less than that in the south. Before the Song Dynasty, the north was the most densely populated area. In areas such as Guangdong, Fujian, Huguang, etc., the Han population was not large and was still in a large area. An uninhabited swamp and smog-infested area.

The Western Regions, where countless legends and deeds have been left behind, have no trace of the Han people, including the Northeast, which has been the habitat of the Han people since the Spring and Autumn Period, and is an area where farming civilization was developed. .

Zhu Yuanzhang only spent more than thirty years.

Unify the north and south of the Yangtze River and restore the Han population in various places.

Cochin was not recaptured.

It took more than 400 years to finally leave the Chinese civilization completely.

If there were no Zhu Yuanzhang.

The future of Chinese civilization is difficult to predict.

30 years.

The kings of the western region followed the Ming Dynasty as their imperial court and belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

The various tribes of Nurgan obeyed the Ming Dynasty as the imperial court and belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

The chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi followed the Ming Dynasty as the imperial court and belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Immigration from the mainland to various places, such as the migration of [-] military households to Lijiang, Yunnan, etc., such deeds continued throughout the Hongwu Dynasty.

After hundreds of years of regression of civilization, it led to a great decline in productivity and population. In the end, it took only 30 years for Zhu Yuanzhang to make unprecedented achievements.

Change it to any dynasty.

Each of them is a national policy that is taxing and consuming the people's energy, but under Zhu Yuanzhang's overall layout, politics and force are both used, and peace is the main method, and it is unswervingly promoted. It is really incredible.

Zhu Di's talents are very strong, but he is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, but he is just like the same person.

There was only one Annan, and Zhu Di struggled all his life but could not stabilize it.

But the areas where Zhu Yuanzhang was stable were far more than just Annan.

Zhu Gaochi never felt that the old man in front of him could be underestimated. His planning ability was really amazing. He did not show off anything, and all extraordinary major events were accomplished quietly, while the country's national strength was not. can develop steadily.

patience.

This old man was full of patience and used the most efficient and permanent method to re-create the land of China that had been broken into pieces for hundreds of years.

Whether it is the use of troops in the northeast, north, northwest, southwest, or south, they must be laid out and planned in advance before they are launched. The lion fights the rabbit and the full force is used to intimidate and induce the fastest stabilization and recovery.

He issued an edict to tell the people of the world that as long as they are on Chinese soil and their hearts are devoted to China, they are all his pure sons.

Use productivity to absorb them and then educate them.

For example, Lijiang, Yunnan.

The largest local chieftain became the most knowledgeable person among Yunnan chieftains. Not only did his children all study, but he also established a library and so on.

Zhu Gaochi said patiently.

"The geography of Champa is very important. It is equivalent to the passage at the top of Jiaozhi extending out. With Champa, our Ming Dynasty and the places in southern Southeast Asia are facing each other across the sea, and the navy can easily reach everywhere."

"Jiaozhi has just calmed down the war, is it planning to capture the city again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

If he were to regain Cochin, he would use a ten-year long-term plan and stabilize it in stages.

In the early stage, people from all over the country were allowed to use the Ming Dynasty as their banner, and then they provided productivity to attract the people of the other side, and then they imparted education to expand the influence of the Ming Dynasty. Then they adopted the official system that combined local and local people, and finally actually controlled the local area.

But the fourth child was too impatient.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not object. After all, Lao Si relied on military exploits to make his fortune, and of course he mainly focused on military affairs. Everyone's habits are different.

When I was young, I attached great importance to fighting, as well as to political skills. The two must complement each other and promote each other, and the effect is often ten times that of war.

"There is no need to plot to occupy the city. They will obey obediently."

Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

How to feed the population without the plains?
Does Mexico hate the United States?

Of course hate.

What's the use of being hateful?

All the plain areas of Mexico were occupied by the United States, leaving only the mountainous deserts. However, the United States was so powerful that Mexico was afraid of being beaten and did not dare to take back its own land. Due to the internal and external environment of Mexico, life was bound to be poor.Long-term poverty and destitution have forced Mexican people to flee to the United States.

The reason is the same.

"The small country of Champa has been oppressed by Annan many times and has long been afraid of Annan. Now that our Ming Dynasty has regained Annan and returned to Jiaozhi, Champa will never dare to express dissatisfaction with our Ming Dynasty. However, they lack food internally and their internal conflicts have already intensified. "

"The repeated sending of envoys in the past two years is proof that the king of Champa is in a hurry."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang realized something and said with a smile: "Do you want to wait for the Champa Kingdom to collapse?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded and admitted.

Historically, the Champa Kingdom did write to Zhu Di and wanted to annex the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the long-term rebellion of Jiaozhi, the matter was finally abandoned.

Now Cochin has completely recovered.

There is no longer any need for the Champa Kingdom to exist.

If it were not the port of the Champa Kingdom, Zhu Gaochi would not be in a hurry. It would be better to wait ten or twenty years.

The territory of the Champa Kingdom only has mountainous areas. With today's productivity and limitations, it cannot bring production and the benefits are not great. If you are considering the future, it is better to recover it in ten or twenty years, which is more cost-effective.

"Cough cough."

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice.

Last winter, Zhu Yuanzhang's old ailment relapsed. After the doctors' care, he gradually improved.

"Grandpa Emperor."

Zhu Gaochi looked concerned.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his hand and said with a smile: "We are very good."

"What is your plan for the future of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he would not be able to see that day, but he was very curious and wanted to take a look at the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

in childhood.

The whole family starved to death.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's inner demon.

Zhu Yuanzhang would never show mercy to any corrupt officials.

An emperor who was born as a farmer, Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely hoped that the people would live a comfortable life, whether it was for good expectations or for his own interests.

Zhu Gaochi pondered.

Zhu Yuanzhang's problem is a big one.

Zhu Gaochi, who is well aware of the world map and the future of history, has an equally huge plan in his mind, but because he sees more, he knows more.

too rich.

It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing.

The famous business gangs throughout the history all came from barren areas and poor people, no matter in ancient or modern times, both at home and abroad.

Huizhou merchants in the Ming Dynasty were the most famous and had the largest capital, because Huizhou was the poorest.

The same is true for future generations.

The people of Yiwu are not willing to leave their hometown, give up their comfortable environment, and take the initiative to face various obstacles. It is because they cannot live without leaving their hometown.

With the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the trade circle in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

People have no motivation to leave their comfort zone.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the society entered the "population trap theory". People became poorer and poorer, which promoted the people's expansion abroad. Chinese influence in Southeast Asia increased, and there were Chinese residential areas all over the country.

But this milestone came to an end with the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.

By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the "population trap theory" society had entered earlier. However, the Qing Dynasty's isolation, confinement of ideas, and high degree of control not only caused the regression of Chinese civilization, but also caused the Han people to not flow into Southeast Asia like they did in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

It was not until the demise of Mancheng in the south that the Qing Dynasty's ruling power could no longer control the Han people. Only then did the Han people invade the east of Guandong, take the west entrance, and go to Nanyang.

This is the essence of social development.

Just like the West.

Even though manpower became scarce in the West after the Black Death, productivity was still limited due to backward farming methods, so Westerners began to explore overseas.

Because the trade they get from overseas is far stronger than what they get at home.

But today's Ming Dynasty is different.

The domestic market is the largest, and businessmen are destined to compete for the domestic market, followed by the East and Southeast Asian trade circles. What benefits can they bring if they leave this largest market and go to barren places?

Because it's too advanced.

They have no reason to leave their comfort zone.

Although there has been great development in later generations, human resources are still huge compared to social productivity. As a result, there is not much market demand for technological innovation, which means that the country cannot provide the market demand required for scientific research and inventions.

In foreign countries, because Westerners have acquired countless new lands, their per capita resources are very high, resulting in manpower still being scarce. Therefore, scholars born and educated in the same land in China eventually account for a very high proportion of scientific research abroad. high.

In the new industrial crown, the proportion of Han people in some R&D teams even accounts for more than [-]%.

This is the essence of the principle of natural development.

It's not about who has a lower IQ than who, who has a better childbirth, etc.

So when Zhu Yuanzhang heard about his culture, Zhu Gaochi couldn't answer immediately.

Although his layout has a model, how to change or even promote it through administrative means requires exploring new methods.

The Western path is impassable.

There will be no way for future generations.

Today's Ming Dynasty is also unavailable.

Because the natural environments of both sides are different.
