Chapter 582 The Ming Empire expands to the vicinity of the Ottomans

After the occupation of Southeast Asia, the next thing we need to re-examine is Uszang and Yilibali.

In name, Uszang already belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Although the actual control is no longer in the hands of the Ming Dynasty court, this area is a plateau with an altitude of more than 2,000 yuan, with little industrial utilization value, and even if there is mineral resources, it cannot be mined or transported.

Therefore, there is no need to implement land reform and industrial development.

However, this does not mean that this place is useless, but is a very important place in its strategic position. It is the high ground in the abdomen of Asia. It can be overlooked in the south and controlled in the north. Even if the Ming Dynasty did not develop industry in this place where birds do not shit, it would have to station troops here in case of going south or north in the future.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty, Uszang of this era was not the Tubo of that year. Under the universal teaching of Buddhism, he no longer had the desire to expand his mind and only liked to recite scriptures. The upper class aristocrats were even occupied by monks. Since Uszang surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty court did not know how many Dharma Kings and Living Buddhas were granted. Zhu You did not intend to implement land reform here. After all, this area is not suitable for agricultural and industrial production except barley.

Of course, for military reasons, since the garrison must send troops.

Fortunately, more than ten years ago, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the Mongolian Heshuote tribe entered Uszang from Yili and occupied the four guards of the Ming Dynasty originally located in Xining. In the days that followed, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of the domestic ban on smoking and launched a colonial war to brazenly occupy the Uszang area. This gave the Ming Dynasty a warning to advance to Uszang.

Therefore, in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's instructions, while the Ministry of Rites sent a specialist to inform the Ming Dynasty that the King of Uszang would send troops to eliminate the Tartars and would garrison for a long time to protect local security and help local residents to build, the Ministry of War sent the Second Town of the Fourth Army from Lijiang Prefecture, Yunnan to Uszang, and the troops were divided into two groups, one to Lhasa and the four guards of Xining.

Whether it is the Mongolian and Sotite cavalry or the Us Tibetan soldiers who depend on the Sotite, they are naturally not opponents of the Ming army. What really tests the Ming army is the marching and garrisoning life in this polar environment, as well as the construction of transportation and the construction of other public facilities. In the future, there will be many places with harsh climates that require the Ming army, such as the islands on the Arctic Ocean. These places are rich in resources, so when the ownership of this area is still unclear, they will naturally occupy it first.

Although the power of the Ming Dynasty was not bad, it was still not as good as that of Wuling Hongguang. Although the trump card was higher than that of Ferrari, it did not have good constant temperature equipment. Liquid water and steam gas could not resist the severe cold, so the chariot could not enter Uszang. Because the cannon could not be transported without National Highway 318, it could only enter Uszang with guns and small Ming versions of mortars. However, even so, after trekking into the Tibet area, it still easily defeated the Hoshuote troops and successfully stationed the troops directly.

In order to ensure the safety of Uszang, the Ming Dynasty decided to directly rule the region and implement local autonomy but was appointed and removed by the central government. However, cultural and economic construction was led by the Ming army. The reason was to help Uszang people get rid of poverty and become rich, so that they can have more energy to study Buddhist principles. Of course, this is also a disguised cultural input.

It was also easy to deal with Yilibali. At this point, the large area of ​​Asia from east of the Ottoman Empire to west of Yilibali was eliminated, and other areas had become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Several years later, a war operation code-named "Hurricane East" made this vast area of ​​Asia a territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is said that in those years, not only the sea water in the Caspian Sea became red, but also the sea water in the Persian Gulf also became red. By the 40th year of the Apocalypse, when Emperor Zhu Youxiao was nearly 60 years old, the super empire of the Ming Dynasty finally became close neighbors with the Europa countries. Only then did the Ottoman Empire realize that the ancient Eastern empire was actually close to it, and it began to be dissatisfied with some of the policies of this super empire.

However, the Ming Dynasty does not care what the Ottoman Empire and other Europa countries think. As a super empire with a land area of ​​the total number of civilized countries in the world today, the Ming Dynasty now only wants to better unify the world, rule the world, and build a new home on the earth.

Now, the entire world is only the Ottoman Empire and Europa Flangji, England, France and other countries still have the power to fight, but the Ming Dynasty has no energy to destroy them yet.

After all, after occupying the Asian Sept, the areas ruled by the Ming Dynasty had expanded too much and it took a long time to digest it. Because the Ming military was too ruthless, and these places were not in the Han cultural circle areas like Southeast Asia, so there would always be some sporadic rebellions after the occupation.

Funds for maintaining stability have been growing, and Zhu Youxiao cannot directly use these two-legged laborers to refine oil. After all, people are the most valuable these days, so they can only try to maintain stability and establish a new civilized order as much as possible but implement a balance between blood thick rules.

...

That's right, Zhu Youxiao is nearly 60 years old, but because of his good maintenance and no state affairs to worry about in the Ming Dynasty over the years, he still looks only in his forties or fifties, his hair is still black and blue, and his teeth are not loose yet.

However, the two princes Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cirong have long been adults. King Zhao Zhu Cijiong has become the governor of the Caspian Sea, fully managing the vast land from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, and becoming the new general of the First Army of the Ming Dynasty. Chang Yanling has passed away and was appointed as the Marquis of Qingyang by Emperor Zhu Youxiao, but it is not hereditary.

Zhu Cirong has been internships in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the academic department, and the Ministry of Revenue for three years. He is now in the Ministry of Personnel, who is the official position of the Ministry of Personnel. This is the only one in the Ming Dynasty. However, everything has changed these days, and the emperor said that the prince must be familiar with the practice, so all officials can only accept it.

Of course, people in the Ming Dynasty can understand it now. After all, the current emperor is no longer as simple as the symbol of the etiquette of the dynasty when he was the first to accept the worship of his ministers and be a symbol of the etiquette of the Celestial Empire. Although the emperors today are not easy to deal with daily affairs, the major matters that need to be decided cover a wide range of areas and industries that need to be understood are also very wide. In the past, the emperors only had to deal with the scholar class and the common people class, but the current social situation they have to deal with is already much more complicated than before.

From officials to citizens to slave labor, from the army to localities to religion, from the local area to colonies to custody areas, there is nothing complicated, and there is no day without conflict. Sometimes, Zhu Youxiao is also worried that the Eastern civilization system can really maintain a super empire for a long time?
