The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

The Ming Dynasty controlled the Sainan Province and the Saibei area, and carried out large-scale military patrols all year round. The northernmost Oara in history, the splintered ghost force Chihan, was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty after invading Hami, although Zhu Di did not happen again five times. Regarding the Northern Expedition, Wala has also been defeated.

Although Oara existed in name only and was actually divided, some tribes left the Saibei area and moved to Yilibari Province.

The area inside Yili is very large.

It was so large that there was no man's land everywhere, and even the actual control scope of Ming Dynasty in Yilibaoli was only cities built in fertile areas along the post roads.

Some tribes settled in the western region of Yilipalihang Province, which brought a more complicated situation to the local area and led to great local chaos. There were many tribes and it was difficult for even the local officials to distinguish them.

According to the division of the Ming Dynasty, large areas of land such as Almaty and Karakol, which were originally controlled by the Timurid Khanate, were all included in the Yilibali Province, all the way to Andiyan. As the name suggests, it is the largest trading area in the area. This place is the boundary. The east side belongs to Yilibaoli Xingxing Province, and the west side belongs to Samarkand Dusi.

Andijan was also the dividing line between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

This division illustrates the Ming court's expectation to manage Yilihangli Province as the ecological environment of the mainland, and use Samarkand as a line of defense to ensure local stability.

But the area is too big, whether it is the Yilibali province or the Samarkand region.

Originally, most of Yili's population was concentrated in the eastern region. The local leaders of Turpan were finally subdued by the Ming army, and many tribes followed in the footsteps of the Ming army and followed the Ming army in their western expedition and obtained new lands.

Through force and temptation, Yili stabilized the eastern region of Lixing Province.

The distance from Werumu to Yilibali City is [-] miles, which accommodates [-]% of the local population. It also undertakes the cotton planting industry in Hami area, as well as the development of animal husbandry and agriculture.

Then Yili made the distance from Licheng to Andiyan nearly three thousand miles. The local governance of the Ming Dynasty was not completely established, and only the local people were allowed to know the flag of the Ming Dynasty.

Huo Zhen was furious and led five hundred Ming cavalry around to retaliate.

"Mighty Huozhen, why are you so angry?"

Dalzi and the warriors of the tribe looked at Huozhen warily and asked with a flattering look.

"The Harvest Lands are under attack."

Huozhen said suppressing his anger.

"Who is so bold as to offend you?"

Darzi was shocked.

Huozhen stared at Darzi's appearance, trying to judge the other person's heart.

There are less than 1000 people on hand.

Huo Zhen is not afraid of tough battles with others, but what he fears most is sneak attacks. Given the environment in Almaty, an army of 1000 people is hard to guard against.

There are only Ming Dynasty citizens.

In the Sainan Dusi and Saibei areas, a large number of people have obtained Ming citizenship over the years, that is, Ming people. They only study Confucian culture, even though Confucian culture often changes.

Historically, in the early Ming Dynasty, Confucianism did not pay attention to the saying that the people are the most important, the country is the most important, and the king is the least important.

If you evaluate it from a good perspective.

A Ming Dynasty that had just been established in the flames of war needed stability.

The prerequisite for development is stability.

Beginning in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the development of the economy, various new ideas began to emerge. For example, Wang Yangming proposed that even what Confucius said could not be fully recognized. In the end, it returned to the idea that the people should be the noblest and the country should be the most important. thought of.

in short.

Speaking of Huo Qubing, he will be a hero praised by all Ming people.

"Darchi Taiji."

Huo Zhen called the other party's name, but did not respect him very much, and said coldly: "His Majesty the Emperor agreed that your tribe could graze here and cultivate their health, but you must also contribute to the Ming Dynasty and become a barrier for the Ming Dynasty."

"So whether you participated or not, it was your dereliction of duty and I will punish you."

"Are you satisfied?"

Darqitaiji's face turned red and white, and he hesitated to speak.

The warriors behind him also made some movement.

"Clothes."

Darzi stopped the tribesmen and accepted Huozhen's punishment.

In front of everyone, Huozhen whipped Darqi ten times and took away [-] sheep, [-] cattle, and [-] horses from the tribe, which made the leaders of the tribe itchy with hatred.

The herdsmen had no property of their own, and the property taken away by the Ming Dynasty was shared among the leaders.

Darzi's tribe has tens of thousands of tents.

Distributed in the Isaackul area, it is the largest tribe in the area. Although these losses are not small, Dalqi can bear it without breaking his muscles and bones, so Dalqi endures his shame and anger.

Huozhen walked around the large tribes around Almaty.

Each tribe said they didn't know the enemy, so Huozhen punished them all. After returning to the starting point, they still couldn't figure out the identity of the murderer. Huozhen didn't give up and came to the pastoral area where Dalqi was located.

"You all say you don't know who the murderer is, and I don't care if you really don't know or if you just pretend you don't know. I'm just telling you that Ming Dynasty will never let the murderer go."

Huo Zhen said seriously, "Since I can't ask, I will keep asking until one of you tells me."

This time it’s upped the ante.

Twenty riding whips, a thousand sheep, two hundred cattle, and a hundred horses.

Twenty riding whips, although the wounds from going north were not healed yet, but he gritted his teeth and thought that he could bear it. However, it was not that Dalzi could not afford the doubled supplies, but he did not dare to gamble.

"General Huozhen."

Dalqi was not as respectful as before, and argued: "Our tribe has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty. We really don't know where the people who attacked your tribe came from. They must not have passed by us. Otherwise, if there was any information, we would have already Reported to your department."

"I do not care."

Huo Zhen said with hatred.

Being reasonable is not his habit, speaking with a knife is what he is good at.

Dalqi thought for a long time, but Huozhen did not rush him. The Ming army was victorious in every battle. Even if he only brought 500 people this time, he was not afraid that the Dalqi tribe would dare to resist.

Compared to those kingdoms that built cities, these tribes no longer looked down upon Huozhen.

The five hundred Ming cavalry are all veterans.

They had prepared hand grenades, and the self-made three-eyed firecrackers were loaded with gunpowder and lead bullets.

Over the years, the tactics of the Ming Dynasty cavalry have not changed much. They are still the same as the old three. No matter whether they are old or young, they just need to be easy to use. Fighting such a tribe is really a bit of a bully.

In particular, the three-eyed fire gun was changed from a match rope to a flint, which saved the effort of lighting the match rope in advance.

However, unlike many people's impressions, which were misled by later movies and TV shows, the match was actually not temporarily lit. It was a specially prepared match soaked in special potion that could burn slowly for half an hour.

Good quality match ropes can be used continuously. Only match ropes with poor craftsmanship will be in the medicine room. Because the impact of the moment when the gunpowder is ignited extinguishes the match ropes, causing the gun to lose its function.

The Ming Dynasty's army has continued to fight in large and small wars over the years, and it has gained a great reputation.

Dalzi, who had a fierce inner conflict, finally accepted Huozhen's punishment and did not choose to resist because of the humiliation.

So Huozhen went to the next tribe.

After collecting information, the finger pointed at the Sareozek area north of the Ili River. Unlike the south, there were more tribes in the north. There were three tribes that dared to attack and had the strength.

Huozhen gathered eight hundred cavalry and stopped asking who they were.

Now that we have figured out the direction of the enemy, we will kill all the tribes in this direction that are capable of sneak attacks.It is impossible that there would be no news in the local area about such a movement, but no one informed Daming, indicating that they are all accomplices. Since they are accomplices, they are enemies. What evidence is needed to face the enemy.

Huozhen did not leak the news and did not give others time to react. When people thought Huozhen would continue to pursue the case, Huozhen launched an attack.

The unsuspecting tribe suffered a crushing defeat.

When Zhang Fu arrived, he saw the Sareozek area in a mess.

Zhang Fu looked at the place where humans and animals were left, and asked curiously: "Isn't there a rule about wheels here? Why is there no one left?"

Huozhen pointed at the wheel that fell to the ground.

The wheels lay flat on the wasteland.

Zhang Fu understood, grinned speechlessly, and hit Huozhen hard on the chest, "You are really messy."

"The emperor will arrive in about half a month. The general does not want to cause trouble and cannot have any threats." Huo Zhen said nonchalantly.

Zhang Fu nodded.

When the emperor was still King Yan, he liked Huozhen very much.

In terms of relationship, I am not as good as Huo Zhen, but I am more valued by His Highness the Crown Prince. If their father and son were not related to the Crown Prince, they would have been suppressed by the Peking faction.

The earliest label on their father and son was that of the old prince. When the old prince was alive, the imperial court planted a nail in Peiping.

But it's not what it used to be.

Zhang Fu has become the governor of one side, while Huo Zhen is still a general.

It is not because of the emperor and the prince, but because Zhang Fu is indeed talented. Whether in Cochin or Samarkand, he is not only good at commanding the overall situation, but also outstanding in stabilizing local areas.

Together with his father, the two father and son became the talk of the army.

"Have the enemies been wiped out?"

Huo Zhen shook his head regretfully.

"Run some."

"Then you still not chasing?"

Zhang Fu tilted his head and looked at Huo Zhen with disdain. Huo Zhen understood what Zhang Fu meant and without saying a word, he took his own eight hundred soldiers and Zhang Fu's [-] cavalry to make up for the two thousand. number.

Huozhen led a battalion of cavalry and pursued north for a full [-] miles, crossing Lake Balkhash. Any force that took in Azhan Khan became the target of Huozhen's attack.

Finally, in the Astana area, a battle began with the famous local cavalry.

Huozhen used a small number to defeat a large number and defeated [-] local cavalry with [-] cavalry. For the first time, people saw hand grenades and self-generated three-eyed fire guns.

Because the pursuit lasted too long, Huozhen ordered the destruction of the three Hundred-Son Cannon very early.

But it had no impact.

"Boom."

Gunpowder is at work in this land.

Gunpowder is no stranger. It was introduced to Central Asia by the Mongols more than 100 years ago, then brought to Spain by the Arabs, then learned by the French, and finally spread throughout Europe.

There are also gunpowder and muskets in the land of Kipchak, but not here.

Two thousand cavalry were divided into several squads, each squad was divided into three rows. The front row used its own three-eyed firecrackers. After the throwing distance was reached, the cavalry in the second row threw grenades.

The cavalry on both sides was very fast.

Such tactics require speed, and the second row of cavalry quickly threw grenades in the shortest possible time. The Ming cavalry often trained, so there was no delay.

In an instant.

The opponent's cavalry camp was so bombed that the people fell on their backs, especially the unaccustomed horses, which lost control.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry team took advantage of the opponent's chaos and went forward to kill without hesitation. Their riding skills were as good as scraping, scraping off the outer layers of the opponent's cavalry layer by layer.

If viewed from the sky, it looks like an extremely beautiful large-scale performance.

However, ordinary people cannot see such performances.

Maybe when cameras appear one day, they will record it, so that people will be shocked to see it, and then they will get used to it after seeing it too much and no longer take it seriously.

The most famous local cavalry were unable to fight back against the Ming Dynasty's attack. Instead, Azhan Khan and his tribal cavalry, who fled all the way north, were well prepared, and their horses were not affected too much. On the contrary, they were better than the local cavalry. The famous cavalry was more difficult to deal with.

Azam Khan was no ordinary leader.

From Wala.

The raids by tens of thousands of cavalrymen in the southern part of the Sainan region have been carried out for a long time, and no force can resist. The northern part of the Saibei region is too poor, and moving westward has become the choice of most people.

If history had not changed, Zhu Di's five northern expeditions would have also produced the same results.

The difference is that some leaders led their tribes to invade the Qinghai area. For example, the predecessor of the Junggar Empire was a branch of the Oara tribe that was defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the early days.

Because Russia has not yet risen, these tribes still have "boundless" strategic space to move around.

However, the Ming Dynasty's expansion greatly reduced their pace from the east, and they retreated even further.

Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, Azhan Khan still wanted to escape.

This is an endurance race.

The Ming Dynasty's cavalry endured fatigue and finally defeated Azhan Khan, because Azhan Khan's men and horses could no longer run.

"If you keep insisting, I might have to withdraw."

Huo Zhen said proudly.

Azam Khan was captured with his head lowered.

Huo Zhen smiled and said: "After the last war, we didn't bring much arms, and we had already considered withdrawing our troops."

"Ben Khan's warriors don't have enough to eat, and Ben Khan's horses also need fodder, otherwise Ben Khan will not be defeated." Azhan Khan raised his head and said unconvinced.

"Ha ha."

Huozhen stopped paying attention to the other party.

When Huozhen escorted Azhan Khan back to Almaty, Zhu Di had already left Almaty and arrived in the city of Samarkand.

A grand banquet was held locally.

Kings, big and small, had long been notified by Ming envoys, and either came in person or sent their princes to join in to greet the Ming Emperor. The surrounding envoys had to come in person.

Zhu Di had a look of emotion on his face.

Looking at Samarkand, which has been away for several years, through the efforts of the Han people, various water conservancy and irrigation facilities have been established here, and water pumping stations beside major lakes have introduced water into ditches and irrigated acres of land through ditches. Although it is not as prosperous as the mainland, it is comparable. When I first came to Samarkand, earth-shaking changes had taken place.

"Sure enough, development is the kingly way, and my son has great wisdom."

Zhu Di finally praised Zhu Gaochi from thousands of miles away.

In the capital, he was reluctant to praise.

His son's prestige was already too high, so high that even Zhu Di found it unbelievable. (End of chapter)
