The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Three years of orthodoxy.

The Golden Horde has already entered a troubled situation.

This huge empire lacked stable order and a powerful Khan. In less than thirty years, the throne of the Khan had been replaced by more than twenty people. In this turbulent era, whoever has the strongest soldiers and horses can sit on the throne of the Great Khan and become the ruler of this vast land.

The frequent changes of the Golden Horde also had a profound impact on the Ming Dynasty's suzerainty-vassal relationship here.

Whenever a new Khan came to power, the Ming court would send envoys to the Golden Horde for canonization and appointment.

Among the sequence of vassal states, the Golden Horde was the most unstable one and was very different from the vassal states in Southeast Asia. With the help of railways and the Ming Dynasty's economic trade, the permanent presence of the army was guaranteed. It’s a more stable relationship.

However, in the case of the Golden Horde, the appointments brought by these Ming envoys were often difficult to last. Within a few months, new generals would emerge and overthrow the previous Great Khan, plunging the Ming Dynasty's suzerain-vassal relationship into chaos and instability.

After the orthodox emperor succeeded to the throne, the court was well aware of the complexity and thorny situation of the Golden Horde.

In order to stabilize this important but unimportant vassal state, the imperial court sent many capable ministers to the Golden Horde to contact all parties, trying to resolve conflicts and restore order through diplomatic means.

However, the Golden Horde's rough management, declining economic level, and warlord warfare over the years often made the court's efforts backfire.

During this period, Ming Dynasty's cabinet also underwent major changes.

Sanyang and other veteran officials resigned one by one from their cabinet positions and returned to their hometowns due to their age, or more likely because they had served in the cabinet for too long.

The new cabinet members paid more attention to the development and construction of the five major regions of Tianzhu. They set their sights on broader areas, hoping to enhance the national power and influence of the Ming Dynasty by promoting economic development.

However, in the remote Golden Horde vassal country, the situation is not optimistic.

Due to the remote geographical location and economic backwardness, people here gradually paid less attention to and recognized the Ming Dynasty. They were more concerned about how to survive in this turbulent era than paying attention to the suzerain-vassal relationship of the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, in the spring of the third year of Orthodoxy, the Principality of Muscovy completely overthrew the rule of the Golden Horde and replaced it, calling itself the Tsar.

They claimed that they had inherited the mantle of the Eastern Roman Empire, changed the country's name to Rus, and refused to recognize the Ming Dynasty's vassal system. This incident shocked the entire Ming Dynasty, and there was a lot of discussion about it.

In order to safeguard its authority and interests, the Ming Dynasty decided to counter the rebellion of the Russian state.

The first counter-insurgency war officially started in the summer of the fourth year of Orthodoxy.

The Ming army relied on its strong military strength and quickly won the victory. However, as the battle lines lengthened and the weather worsened, the remaining Russian forces and armies gradually gained support from some religions and countries.

They successfully ambushed the Ming army in the Volga River area, causing the Ming Dynasty's new army to suffer an organizational military defeat for the first time in decades.

This failure brought great shock and reflection to the Ming court.

The rebels used a large number of firearms, including artillery and grenades and other heavy weapons that were originally only available to the Ming army. More and more countries have their own firearms, and with the growth of the world economy, they can afford to maintain firearm armies. More and more.

However, the advancement and popularity of the firearms controlled by the remaining forces of the Moss Kingdom are no longer qualitatively different from the firearms of the Ming Dynasty. Although there is still a huge gap in accuracy and firepower, there is no breakthrough.

The most important thing is that the country of Moss is too far away. The long distance has made the Ming army accustomed to relying on railways and warships suffered a lot. In addition, in the extreme weather, the Ming army encountered too many difficulties.

This military defeat made the imperial court deeply aware of the complexity and difficulty of the Golden Horde region, and decided to adopt a more prudent and effective strategy to quell this rebellion.

After seven years of orthodoxy, the second counter-insurgency war officially kicked off.

The Ming Dynasty assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, including countless materials and supplies, from seven western provinces, Yilibali Province, five northern Tianzhu provinces, and the Dili vassal state.

In order to ensure victory in the war, the imperial court also built specially built ships in the Caspian Sea to transport supplies. In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources building ships in the Caspian Sea.

After three years of hard work, the Ming Dynasty finally completely pacified the Rus Kingdom.

In the area north of the Aral Sea, the imperial court enfeoffed vassal states such as the Kazan Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate, and the Crimean Khanate to strengthen control and management of this area.

At the same time, in order to hold these vassal states hostage, the imperial court also selected some forces and enfeoffed institutions such as the Xuanfu Department and the Xuanwei Department.

As the power of the Ming Dynasty continued to expand, it became increasingly difficult for many vassal states and envoys to travel to and from the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Even with the convenience of railways in the Ming Dynasty, it would take them more than two years to reach the capital. This geographical gap and distance made it more difficult for the Ming Dynasty to control and manage these areas.

Although the Golden Horde has disappeared into history, the resistance forces in the southwest region of the original Golden Horde have not been completely eradicated.

These resistance forces still had hostility and disapproval of the Ming Dynasty, and they continued to launch rebellions and attacks in an attempt to regain their independence and status.

In the eighth year of Zhengtong, the death of Zhao Hong, the governor of northern Tianzhu, caused the court's attitude towards the former Golden Horde region to begin to change.

Zhao Hong is already one of the top military nobles in the Ming Dynasty.

Since taking over from Zhu Neng and being appointed as the new governor of Northern Tianzhu, this commander with rich experience and outstanding talents has implemented many policies and measures that are beneficial to local development in Northern Tianzhu over the years, starting from the Ming Dynasty's national immigration policy. played a vital role.

He was deeply loved and respected by local manor owners and businessmen, but it also caused dissatisfaction among many shopkeepers of the Daming Industrial Bureau.

However, his death made it more difficult for the court to control and manage this area.

In order to calm the local situation as soon as possible, the imperial court began to adopt more flexible and pragmatic strategies to deal with relations with the former Golden Horde region.

They began to focus on co-optation and annihilation, and communicated and negotiated with local forces by sending envoys and missions to seek a peaceful solution to the problem.

At the same time, the imperial court also strengthened economic and cultural exchanges with this region, and enhanced connections and interactions with local people through trade and cultural dissemination.

The implementation of these measures has achieved certain results. The local situation has gradually stabilized and the resistance forces have been effectively contained.

However, due to factors such as historical issues and geographical barriers, the problems in this area have not been fundamentally solved. The Ming court still needs to continue to strengthen the control and management of this area to ensure that the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty can be maintained. .

Ming Dynasty mainland.

Printing plants can be seen everywhere, even in county towns. There are more and more libraries and bookstores on the streets, making books a commodity that ordinary people have in their homes.

A large number of novels have been published, and reading has become a trend.

Secrets such as technical know-how and magic secrets have been unearthed through various books. Young people ride bicycles through the streets and alleys. There are also young people who like to ride bicycles on the country roads.

Young people are giving up livestock over clean and stylish bicycles.

With the development of rubber technology, the first steam engine bus that could drive on the road began to be used in Peiping, and research on steam engines that took advantage of the explosive properties of gunpowder also began.

With the development of anatomy, medical scientists proposed the concept of circulation of blood flowing from the heart through the lungs, and estimated the amount of blood flowing out of the heart through the slow beating of the animal's heart before death, and finally concluded that: arteries and blood vessels and Veins together form a circulatory system. With the development of blood science, the role of penicillin began to be thoroughly developed.

First human injection of penicillin.

Second example.

The third example.

With the development of penicillin refining technology, penicillin injection has become a commonly used medicine in hospitals. Many terminal diseases have been treated in the past. Penicillin has even been described as a miracle drug that can cure all diseases.

With the maturity of hot-air balloon technology, some people have already used hot-air balloons to travel, and scholars have seen more sights.

There is also the development of telescopes. When observing the sky, we can see farther away. It has become a consensus that stars are spheres and that all stars, including the moon and the earth, revolve around the sun.

The development of various sciences and technologies has made religious superstition increasingly abandoned by the upper class.

The development of major areas in Tianzhu, as well as immigrants over the years, countless manors and cash crops, provided the Ming Dynasty with abundant cheap resources, including food. Even if the population growth of the Ming Dynasty exploded, it did not affect the per capita resources of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, Double the improvement.

The economy is becoming more and more prosperous, and the income of ordinary workers is getting higher and higher. It has reached the era of twenty-six yuan per month. Compared with the era when one yuan per month was still a high wage, it has increased twenty-six times.

Behind the monthly income of ordinary workers, 26 yuan, represents the bicycles that ordinary working families can buy.

The rise of the bicycle industry has brought the development of productivity to a higher level, increased transportation efficiency, and promoted people's exchanges. The popular rubber in Southeast Asia and cheap manor labor have enabled people in the Ming Dynasty to earn high wages. On the other hand, they enjoy the benefits of cheap products.

Cheap goods, high wages and benefits, and conflicting social and economic phenomena were born in the Ming Dynasty.

All the goods in the world flowed into the Ming Dynasty, which improved the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

With cheap raw materials on one side and high-priced industrial products on the other, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty mastered the technology and dumped industrial products into the vassal countries and even further areas. With their interests in mind, they controlled all aspects of the vassal countries, including land and population.

Unlike Western history, the Ming Dynasty had sufficient internal population and markets, and was not afraid of commodity competition from vassal states and overseas regions, let alone threats to rule.

Wave after wave of Ming people came overseas, improving the composition of the local population, including Jue Island. The number of Ming people on Jue Island has exceeded five million, which is several times the indigenous population of 700,000.

Although the local population of the Dili vassal state in northern Tianzhu accounts for the majority, the Ming population in the vast central plain exceeds the local population. In Guli and other areas in the south, the Ming population is also increasing year by year.

With the development of medicine, especially the development and popularization of penicillin technology, the mortality rate of newborns in the Ming Dynasty has been greatly reduced, and many families no longer even have newborn deaths.

The lifespan of the elderly has also been extended. Coupled with sufficient food and nutrition and an improved working environment, most people over fifty are still full of vitality, which has improved the population lifespan phenomenon.

The old saying that one knows destiny at fifty has been changed.

More and more old people are celebrating their sixtieth birthdays. Seventy-year-olds are no longer a rare thing in the village. Eighty-year-olds are rare birthdays.

Coupled with the affluent life and the influx of a large number of overseas women, concubinage, a behavior only practiced by the upper class, spread to the ordinary class. Although it aroused a lot of opposition in society, the popularity of crops such as corn and sweet potatoes replaced the original Crop rotation caused the population growth of the Ming Dynasty to skyrocket.

In the 18th year of Yongle's reign, the population of the Ming Dynasty reached approximately 167.15 million.

Ten years of orthodoxy.

The population of Ming Dynasty has exceeded 300 million.

Zhu Gaochi's large-scale well system became the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. In order to ensure the survival of the large-scale well system and to obtain more economic benefits, immigrants continued to immigrate overseas and did not stop.

In addition to immigrating to the Daying Island area, the Tianzhu area is also a key direction for immigrants, including Luzon and Boni Dusi. Juedao Dusi has more than five million Ming people, which is the reason for this era.

Such a huge population and the demand for leather clothes and shoes stimulated businessmen to hunt animals in all corners of the world.

From the Northeast to the Far East, caravans even crossed the White Strait to the New World, hunting animals in the north of the New World to obtain raw materials. After the completion of the Nurgan Dusi railway construction, with the trade of the caravans over the years, there were even voices demanding Build a railway in the Far East all the way to the White Strait.

Businessmen gathered and simple docks were built on both sides of the White Strait.

After the caravan returned, some people were left to guard the local trading stations. They became the first residents of the Ming Dynasty to immigrate to the New World. More and more envoys began to travel overseas to seek new vassal states for the Ming Dynasty, including the New World.

Zhao Hong's death finally came to light in the orthodox decade.

Without Zhao Hong's impartiality in the northern Tianzhu region, the competition between the Daming Industrial Bureau and private commercial banks became more and more intense. The powerful Daming Industrial Bureau usurped the interests of a large number of private commercial banks, and conflicts between the two sides became more and more frequent.

in short.

Under the economic cycle, with the thorough development of Korea and Daeying Island, the potential of the seven western provinces has also been tapped. The large-scale development of Tianzhu area, as well as the economic construction of Boni, Luzon, Nanyang, Juedao and other places, overall Although it is still increasing, the speed of increase cannot be compared with before.

Groups of merchants and factories opened by the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau faced competition for "stock", which meant internal competition began.

Because looking at the world, there is no region that can offer it.

Although there are still countries such as Mambasa and Malindi in Africa, and Oman in the Middle East, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer, unless new technologies that change productivity are introduced and the world returns to an era of huge growth. , to satisfy the appetites of all parties.

Goryeo was the first private business bank to get involved, and was annexed by the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau. Some private business banks combined with other business banks to start development on Daeying Island, with the same result.

Both sides are like vines.

The competition between the two sides caused the two sides to follow each other from Goryeo to Da Ying, from Da Ying to Luzon Boni, and to Tianzhu.

Some merchants began to go to the New World, the Middle East, Africa, and the Xuanfu Division established by the Ming Dynasty. Some merchants stayed to compete, some merchants joined the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau, and some merchants retreated to the island.

At present, it seems that the situation will be the same as it has been for decades.

The Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau took a step further, and private commercial banks took a step further.

This was also a hole that Zhu Gaochi left deliberately.

It’s so comfortable, who wants to go through the hard work of pioneering.

Someone has to go.

But times are changing.

Many of the policies left by Zhu Gaochi are outdated and require continuous changes and improvements by future generations, rather than just resting on their laurels. (End of chapter)
