All ethnic groups in the Central Plains never went to work and were a common ethnic group from the beginning. Instead, from the land of China during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were ethnic groups of different shapes. Generally speaking, there were ancient Qiang, Yi, Miao and Man, Bashu, Baiyue, and southwest Yi.

The ancient Qiang was also known as Rongdi, with the totem as the sheep. The Yanhuang tribe originated from the ancient Qiang, distributed in Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi and Shanxi. Until the Spring and Autumn Period, there were still Rong and Di of the Jiang family and Ji surnames.

Yi is good at archery, and the totem is a bird, which is mainly distributed in the Shandong Peninsula and the Huai River Basin in the east, and is called "Dongyi". The founder of the Shang Dynasty was a branch of Yi.

The Miao Man was called "San Miao" in ancient times, and the Shang Dynasty was called "Jing Man". The State of Chu was established during the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Baiyue is located in the southeast coastal areas, mainly including Wuyue, Yangyue, Dongou, Minyue, Nanyue, Xiou, Luoyue, etc. The "Han Shu Geography" records that the distribution of Baiyue "from Jiaozhi to Kuaiji seven or eight thousand miles, and each has its own caste."

Bashu is the Cuba and ancient Shu countries in Sichuan. They created advanced bronze civilization.

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people considered themselves the successor of the Xia Dynasty, so they called themselves "Xia people" and "Huaxia", and the vassal states that were enfeoffed to the Central Plains were collectively called "Zhuxia". In fact, the Zhou people also originated from the Qiang people and were the most advanced branches of the Qiang people. The Zhou people were also a nation produced by the long-term intermarriage between the Ji and Jiang surnames. After the establishment of the Zhou people, they called the surrounding ethnic groups "Dongyi", "Northern Di", "Xirong", and "Southern Barbarians", collectively called the "Four Barbarians". The ethnic relations between the Chinese and the barbarians were formed.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, as countries fought for a long war of hegemony, the "Four Barbarians" and China had a large-scale integration phenomenon. Qin continued to fight against the Western Rong and annexed a large number of Rong countries; Jin continued to attack Beidi; Qi annexed the Eastern Barbarian countries such as Lai. This annexed phenomenon allowed the "Four Barbarians" to integrate into Chinese civilization. In the south, Chu, Wu, and Yue countries absorbed a large amount of Chinese culture and also continued to integrate into the Chinese system.

In history, there have been three great ethnic integrations. In the end, it has created our proud Chinese civilization today.

Although the war was cruel, the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms. Later, the Qin Dynasty conquered the Baiyue region. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, it conquered the South Yue, the East Yue, and the Southwest Yi, and occupied the Hexi Corridor. At this time, the Baiyue people and the Qiang people further integrated the Huaxia people. So a new nation was born, that is, the Han people.

After the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was another great ethnic integration. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wars of the "Sixteen Kingdoms" occurred in the north, but many ethnic groups were learning the culture of the Han people. For example, the Former Qin Dynasty established the concept of governing the country with Confucianism. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei unified the sixteen countries and established the "Northern Wei". Empress Dowager Hu and Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty vigorously implemented a comprehensive policy of sinicization, which allowed the Xianbei people and other ethnic groups entering the Central Plains to gradually integrate into the Han people. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, ethnic minorities entering the Central Plains were basically sinicized.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it was another great integration. Until the Ming Dynasty achieved unprecedented success in the southwest region, Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously implemented the policy of immigrating to the southwest region to station troops, accelerated the transformation of land in the southwest region, and made the Yunnan-Guizhou region gradually incorporate the Han cultural area in the mainland.

So, whether it is conquering the Qing Dynasty or annexing Mongolia, Zhu Cilang's ultimate goal is to achieve a huge territory of multi-ethnic integration. At least the Ming Dynasty dare not say that it is comparable to the Mongolian Yuan, but it must stand on the top of the world today.

Fortunately, the improvement of firearms and the popularization of new crops, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty is still the best in the Ming Dynasty. If foreign enemies attack at this time, Zhu Cilang can be said to be able to drive them back to their hometown to eat grass without any effort.

Firearms will still develop in the future, but Zhu Cixuan will not start participating again. Although he knows a little about smokeless gunpowder.

But Zhu Cixuan did not tell the situation of military battles that each era has historical civilization. If the Ming Dynasty had too much control over advanced civilized weapons, it might also bring about destruction.

It is already a very remarkable thing to be able to improve black gunpowder. Zhu Cixuan decided not to interfere in the historical development of the improvement of firearms and let it go naturally.

Firearms must continue to be popularized. Not to mention anything else, a large number of coastal defense artillery must be arranged in coastal defense areas. Pirates were also rampant in the late Ming Dynasty, and pirates still rob passing ships along the coast.

Of course, it is a gradual process to govern a country well. The development of history always follows certain laws. Zhu Cilang has broken this law and the Ming Dynasty has experienced a prosperous era.

Dorgon, Ajige, Jirhalang and other ministers of the Qing Dynasty palace, were killed in battle, and the rest had almost no real power. Zhu Cixuan's plan to promote the integration of the Han-Manchu ethnic group was strongly supported by the Empress Dowager Zhuang of the Qing Dynasty.

Although she is no longer the empress dowager and Xiao Fulin is no longer the emperor. However, with the strong support of Concubine Zhuang, Manren did not show much resistance.

After all, the discounts given by the court are really attractive, and few people can reject these things. North Korea celebrates the whole country, and for them, they finally found an organization. The Ming Dynasty is the real country of the Celestial Empire. North Korea has been a vassal state of the Central Plains dynasty since ancient times.

As for Mongolia, Zhu Cilang really put in some effort to conquer. Fortunately, Mongolia was divided at this time, and there was no war god like Genghis Khan. Relatively speaking, the conquest of the Ming army was quite smooth. The Shenji Camp was well received, and the entire capital was filled with joy.

Even among the people, the people have pushed Zhu Cilang to the height of the altar. Emperor Chongzhen smiled even more happily, and his son is indeed the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She was finally worthy of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

Only Empress Zhou was a little depressed, and her son refused to take a concubine. She was just willing to marry Xiao Shishi, although Xiao Shishi was good everywhere. Empress Zhou was very satisfied with this well-behaved daughter-in-law. However, Zhu Cilang led troops to fight for many years, and Xiao Shishi's belly was still not moving.

If Xiao Shishi can get pregnant and there is a prince left, it will be perfect in life. In the future, there will be a continuous incense.

Fortunately, Zhu Ciyang was still fighting in Mongolia at this time. When he came back, he must persuade him. Regarding the matter of taking concubines, it is ordinary for three wives and four concubines to be a commonplace. A dignified prince did not accept concubines when he was in his prime. This is simply outrageous.

Emperor Chongzhen was not idle either. He had to be prepared to fulfill his promise. The throne of the Ming Dynasty was always passed to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cilang actually should have been the emperor of the Nine Five. He is much better than himself. Who is a father who doesn’t want his son to be excellent?

Chongzhen, who was tired of imperial power, naturally hoped that his son could inherit the throne as soon as possible and would like to be a hand-off manager.

The Supreme Emperor, freely and freely, sent love to the mountains and rivers. No need to face endless worries in national affairs, no need to worry about the piles of memorials. No need to rack your brains for national policies, no need to worry about government affairs.

All of this was left to my son to do. Emperor Chongzhen has no hesitation about Zhu Cilang's ability. More importantly, Zhu Cilang's position in the court at this time was unshakable.
