Chapter 428 Imperial Ambition
The cavalry of the Han Dynasty dominated the world, whether it was Wei Qing or Huo Qubing, they all won by cavalry. Qi Jiguang was a general for many years, fought many battles and commanded various battle formations. However, this was the first time that a large-scale cavalry regiment was fighting, and Qi Jiguang was of course eager to try.
Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang's appearance and smiled on his face. Qi Jiguang's confident look was pretty pretty.
As for whether the Ming Dynasty's national strength could support the Ming Dynasty's two-front battle, Zhu Yijun was not worried at all. Emperor Wanli, who had worn a belt in his previous life, did not need to fight three major battles at all. The accumulation of so many years was enough for Zhu Yijun to fight several major battles. The battle to destroy Chahar is imperative, and it is inevitable to fight.
Only by destroying Chahar can Mongolia in the south of the desert become the herd of the Ming Dynasty, and the northern border of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any boundary problems.
Only then can Zhu Yijun feel at ease to put the experience to the south, to the west, and to the sea, otherwise the north will be unstable and will not be able to do anything.
As for whether it is too late to participate in the sea now, Zhu Yijun is not worried at all, and he is not afraid of having a good meal. With the size of the Ming Dynasty, no one can stop him. You should know that the current Ming Dynasty's annual GDP accounts for more than 60% of the world's total. What is this? How many people are there in the world now? A population of 600 million, and how many people in the Ming Dynasty? 1.6 billion!
The iron production of the Ming Dynasty accounts for more than two-thirds of the world, and forty percent of the world's silver flows into the Ming Dynasty.
In this era, the size of cities in Europe was generally relatively small, with a population of 20,000 to 30,000, so it could be called a "big city". What about the Ming Dynasty? A population of 20,000 to 30,000 is a big deal, and there will be larger towns. There is not a big gap in technology in this era, after all, the first industrial revolution has not yet begun!
With Zhu Yijun's management and Zhu Yijun's reform, what kind of power will the Ming Dynasty burst out?
If you don’t expand, you will beat the whole world!
This is no longer a problem with superpowers.
If there is really a fight, even if it is a battle to consume, who is the opponent? Netherlands, Portugal, or Spain? Unless there is a huge gap in technology, that is, after the first industrial revolution, there is no chance to invade the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, it would be a complete regression. In addition to the new crops that enriched the products, other aspects were completely beaten by the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that the Qing Dynasty was regressing, so Zhu Yijun was very disdainful of the prosperous Qing Dynasty advocated by the Qing Dynasty in his previous life.
Now Zhu Yijun is full of confidence. After the northern border is stable, the Liaodong and Mongolian grasslands are all powerful supporters from the southward direction of the Ming Dynasty. When the wool textile industry develops greatly, it will be a land grab and sheep. The grasslands will definitely be developed. Once the Ming Dynasty’s nobles make money and make crazy, can Outer Mongolia maintain it?
Sheep eat people really think it's just a saying?
Can the west be kept?
Then, Zhu Yijun doesn’t need to take the initiative to propose it, and the Ming cavalry will expand their own space, because the grassland represents wealth, who doesn’t want to make a fortune?
So Zhu Yijun has never been in a hurry. After traveling through twenty years, Zhu Yijun has been targeting internal affairs, reforming the Ming Dynasty, targeting the north, targeting the northeast, attacking North Korea, and destroying Japan. Everything is laying the foundation. Zhu Yijun believes that once the Ming Dynasty bursts out its strength, it will be an unstoppable huge force like the arrival of a mountain torrent.
Once the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has increased, how many soldiers can Zhu Yijun explode? In this era when combat power is still measured by the number of people, no one dares to imagine.
What is blocking Zhu Yijun now?
It's Chahar, it's Buyanchechen!
This is equivalent to Zhu Yijun's handsome face with a big black fur, which completely destroys the beauty. The handsome man who was originally 100% turned into a 50-minute failure because of this big fur. Can Zhu Yijun bear it? He can't bear it at all, and he must beat him.
Under such circumstances, the Battle of Northern Xinjiang in the Ming Dynasty started again, and the Military Affairs Office began to prepare, and the Cabinet and the Ministry of Internal Affairs cooperated with all their efforts.
For the Ming Dynasty, the war is very experienced now. From the Battle of Oirat to the Battle of Korqin of the Three Guards of Duoyan, and then to the Battle of Japan in Korea, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated enough experience. From the allocation of personnel to the transfer of materials, it can be said that it is very smooth, without any delay at all.
The court burst out a large order again, and merchants also joined the feast of carnival, so the Ming Dynasty happily attacked Chahar.
Zhu Yijun issued an order to reprimand Chahar's envoys and directly drove them out of the Ming Dynasty and escorted them by the Jinyiwei. Why wasn't they killed? On the one hand, they were disdainful, and on the other hand, they were for other tribes to see. The Ming Dynasty targeted Chahar, not others, which was obvious.
For this reason, Zhu Yijun invited envoys from other Mongolian tribes in the palace and accepted the request of the Ordos tribe to offer a noble daughter.
At the same time, Zhu Yijun also agreed to grant the title of Duke to the patriarch of the Ordos tribe, and granted him a sealed city. The construction of the city was financed and worked hard by the Ming Dynasty. However, after the construction of this sealed city, the Ming Dynasty probably would not leave. You should know that Ordos was also an important wool textile base in later generations!
The huge war machine of the Ming Dynasty was launched, and the energy burst out was amazing.
Guihua City.
As the first city to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, Guihua City has long been no longer what it was before. It can no longer be lived in the city, and a new urban area has been around the outer city. There are Ming people and Oirat people everywhere, and they basically have a good conversation and make an appointment to drink.
Of course, there were also people who were anxious and quarreled, but no one went up to persuade the fight, even if one was from the Oirat and the other was from the Ming Dynasty.
Because these two people are doing business, it will be embarrassing to go up to persuade the fight, because the next second, the two people will reach an agreement and then go to drink with each other talking and laughing.
Guihua City has become a famous commercial city on the grassland. It brings together a large number of Ming merchants, and countless transactions are carried out here. The Oirats don’t want to fight. Now they eat full and wear warm clothes. They also have tea and wine from the Ming Dynasty. They don’t know how comfortable life is.
Herding sheep, combing cashmere, and the best cashmere are sold now, and the price soars are so great.
In Guihua City, two yamen are the most important. One is Guiyi Gong Mansion in Guihua City, which is where the third lady and the third lady's son Bu He, lived politely. They enjoy the rule of this land, and the other yamen is the Ming Dynasty's Guihua Admiral's Office. However, this yamen is basically unintentional, but no one dares to underestimate this yamen.
