Wanli 1592

Chapter 1280
Daqin deterred the vassal states in southern Xinjiang with its strong national power, and showed its attitude that whoever dares to make trouble, I will abolish him.

The army in southern Xinjiang and the army in Burma began to act, expressing the attitude of the Great Qin Empire on this matter with practical gestures, that is, during the birthday of the Great Qin Emperor, whoever dares to make trouble will be destroyed.

Under the strong attitude of the Daqin army, naturally there was no Xiaoxiao who dared to make trouble, dared to hit the Daqin Emperor in the face, otherwise he would die.

With the strong attitude of the Great Qin Empire, the lords of the vassal states also relaxed their hearts and entrusted their comfort to the Great Qin Empire. They believed that even if someone made trouble, the Great Qin Emperor would send troops to escort them all the way back to their thrones. good.

After the vassal states in southern Xinjiang made gestures, Ryukyu and North Korea also made gestures. Both the King of Ryukyu and the King of Korea Li Yan said that they would personally go to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Daqin to show their respect for Daqin.

After Xiao Ruxun founded the country, the commercial and trade exchanges between Daqin, Ryukyu and North Korea increased greatly. A large part of the tax revenue of the North Korean government even came from the taxes paid by Daqin merchants, not to mention the Ryukyu Kingdom. A considerable part of the tax came from Yu Daqin.

Daqin merchants came to them to do business and sell things, and then bought their local specialties and brought them back to Daqin or Southeast Asia or even went to Europe for sale, revitalizing the economic development of the entire region. Thank you to Emperor Daqin.

In addition to these two vassal states that have always been respectful, there has also been movement in the north.

After Xiao Ruxun finished the Battle of Datong in Shanxi Province and wiped out 30 Tumote tribes in Lalike, the communication between the Ming government and the tribes in the north was temporarily cut off. The contact between the dynasty and the tribes in northern Xinjiang was temporarily cut off.

Xiao Ruxun rebuilt the northern line of defense in the shortest possible time, and also because of the previous war, he announced the closure of border trade exchanges, and because of Xiao Ruxun's feat of massacring 30 northern captives, all tribes were terrified by this ruthless man. Don't dare to make trouble inside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ruxun launched his own three major campaigns to initially stabilize the country. Since the spring of the second year of Longwu, both the Northwest Frontier and Liaodong Corps have reported the appearance of northern tribes.

This is not an offensive demonstration, but a well-intentioned temptation.

Yes, it is a well-intentioned temptation.

In the Liaodong area, Xiao Ruxun solved the Jurchen problem, entrusted Chuying to manage the Jurchen tribe and gradually devoured it. Buyan Chechen Khan, who controlled the Chahar area in the north, was the first to express his goodwill towards the Great Qin and tried to Contact Daqin.

Immediately afterwards, Weng Guodai, Khan King of the Horqin Tribe, also tried to establish contact with Daqin. They all sent messages to the Liaodong Corps, and Liao Zhong reported the news to Xiao Ruxun.

At that time, during the conquest of the Southwest, Xiao Ruxun ignored it, and they also tried to express their goodwill to Daqin many times afterwards.

Not only them, Ma Heima Khan, the Khan of the Yarkant Khanate in the northwest border, also conveyed his credentials to the Jiayuguan defenders of the Great Qin, explaining that they had established contact with the Ming Dynasty, and now they want to restore relations with the Great Qin and restore the mutual market.

Xiao Ruxun was busy with other things and ignored it.

Until Xiao Ruxun decided to celebrate his birthday, he remembered these things and felt that a stable external relationship was a necessary condition for the successful implementation of his five-year plan.

Now that Liaodong, Liaodong and Liaodong have calmed down, it is better not to make waves in the northwest and Liaodong until he is fully prepared.

So Xiao Ruxun sent invitations to Buyan Chechen Khan of Chahar, Weng Guodai of Horqin, and Mahema Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, inviting them to participate in his birthday celebration.

These tribes and khanates were stronger than the smaller states in the south.

Compared with the plan to sell arms to the vassal states in the south, it is more important for these three forces to let them see the rigorous military appearance and powerful military strength of the Great Qin, and severely frighten them.

The territory controlled by the Great Qin Empire today is based on the addition of the Liaodong region, Burma, Luzon, and Japan on the basis of the late Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. relatively weak.

Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet and other places are basically not under control. The only tentacles in the plateau area are Gansu, Hetao has not been recovered, and the Western Regions are now under the control of the Yarkand Khanate.

When the power was strong in the early Ming Dynasty, like the Nuer Gandu Division, the Wusi Tibetan Commander was also set up in Tibet to represent the central government's management of Tibet, but gradually, the Nuer Gandu Division was abandoned during the Xuande period. , while the Uzangdu Command and Envoy Division remained in name until the end of Wanli, and was abolished later.

After the Ming Qin Ding Revolution, at the beginning of the second year of Longwu, Xiao Ruxun sent a letter to the command and envoy of Wusi Tibetan Capital in the name of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire who inherited the orthodox Ming Dynasty, asking them to reply, but this letter was as silent as nothing.

So Xiao Ruxun made a plan to take over Tibet.

Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Tibet all need to be mastered. The political and military significance of mastering these areas is greater than the economic significance. It may not be of much economic significance, but the political and military significance is great. The plateau land can be used as a The barriers protecting the Han land, without these areas, the Han land has no danger to defend.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang had great differences on the issues of coastal defense and border defense, and Zuo Zongtang finally persuaded the court for this reason.

Xiao Ruxun agrees with Zuo Zongtang's idea very much. It seems expensive to master certain areas, and it seems cheap to retreat back, but once the enemy attacks and there is no danger in the military sense, the loss cannot be compensated by the military expenditure that's it.

That's what buffer zones are for.

Compared with the threat of the Northern Expedition to completely wipe out the northern captives, Xiao Ruxun's bigger plan is to bring the entire western plateau region under the rule of the Great Qin, to isolate the possible threats from the Central Asian region, and to stop them on the plateau, and if possible, go further March into Central Asia and take full control of the Pamirs.

Only by fully controlling the entire western region, making the territory complete and the defense line complete, can achieve the strategic goal that the Tang Dynasty almost failed to achieve.

Invite them over this time, frighten them, tell them to be honest, and then take this opportunity to spread the secret agents of Blackwater and spend some time understanding them in all aspects.

Understand their internal situation, political situation and folk customs, and then formulate a corresponding battle plan. Within ten years, a war will inevitably start, and all these areas will be brought under the rule.
