It was dusk and sunset, and the fiery red sun shone on the lake, sparkling, and the afterglow of the sunset, inexplicably, there was a kind of unspeakable silence.

Some soldiers brought tables and chairs, and many prey carefully cooked by the imperial chef were placed one by one on the table. Some eunuchs poured fine wine and retreated to the side.

"Sit down."

The emperor sat down, leaned on the back of the chair, looking at the afterglow of the sunset in front of him, his eyes were faint, as if there was a little more emotion.

"Come and chase me!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Second brother, please slow down..."

The sound of joy of the child came, and the emperor moved his body and turned his eyes away. He saw a few princes and several well-dressed children having fun.

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the children for a moment, then he also withdrew his gaze and drank it himself.

Compared to the other dukes who just glanced at him, they immediately looked away. Duke Yasukuni obviously looked at him for a while. Looking at the four playful princes, Duke Yasukuni's eyes could not hide the complexity.

Jing, Huan, Jin, Xiu.

He knew very well that these four seemingly casual naming represents his change in mentality in Jingwu Year.

Even now, the throne has never been established, and the crown prince is far away...

Then his nephews...

"What's wrong with you boy?"

Before Duke Jingguo thought about it, the emperor's voice interrupted Duke Jingguo's thoughts.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your nobles have grown up so much."

Duke Jingguo picked up the wine glass and smiled.

"This group of gangsters have no formality all day long."

The emperor chuckled and raised his glass of wine: "It's rare to get together, come and have a drink."

Several dukes quickly picked up their glasses and stood up. Everyone drank at each other and smiled at each other. The already stiff atmosphere seemed to have dissipated a little.

But the gap between the king and the minister is like an insurmountable ravine, completely separating the king and the minister.

The emperor glanced at the obviously restrained Duke of all the kingdoms, frowned slightly, but soon, it soothed.

A founding hero, a minister who followed the dragon.

All of the dynasties represent the rights and glory of the sky, but it is obvious that it also represents the danger that is in the abyss.

Since the founding of Da Heng, perhaps the lessons learned from the long history are too deep. Da Heng’s martial honors, the higher the title and greater the power of the dragon, unknowingly, are like these dukes in front of him, as low-key and humble as they are.

On the contrary, the middle and lower-level martial arts honors have insufficient titles and power, and their political sensitivity is obviously very low. Most of them are as rebellious as ever and act recklessly.

In this way, the emperor naturally likes to hear and sees it, and naturally he doesn't mind being tolerant of the middle and lower classes of Wuxun.

Of course, there are gains and losses.

The emperor can only be alone...

After a clear conversation between the king and the minister, we discussed the southwest and northwest strategies in detail. It was not until late at night that the dukes of the countries left one after another.

In the end, the emperor was left at the edge of the lake.

The twilight was dim, the bonfire was flashing, and the edge of the tent was the soldiers of the imperial camp who were alert to patrolling. Even above the lake, there were several warships of the river navy patrolling.

The entire Nanhaizi was already guarding the hunting process due to the emperor's interest, and was ready for battle.

At some point, the emperor slowly stood up and walked into the big tent.

The map in the tent was still hanging high, and the emperor stood in front of the map with his hands in his arms. The northwest Tibet on the map seemed to be clearly reflected in the emperor's eyes.

The so-called governance of a big country is like cooking small fresh food.

The first enemy of Daheng was inside, and in Liaodong, the Liao Town of Later Jin.

Later, when the Later Jin Dynasty and Liao Town were eliminated, Liaodong was pacified, internal troubles were eliminated bit by bit, and Jiangnan was also recovered.

Step by step, until now, the internal stability is gradually stabilized and the foreign enemy is determined. Only Lin Danhan can pose a threat to Daheng.

Of course, the Mongolian tribes in the northwest Tibet cannot be ignored.

During the Qing Dynasty, the Junggar Rebellion survived the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, and fought intermittently for more than 70 years. It can be said to be the most prominent war in the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with Daheng, the Qing Dynasty obviously had some unique advantages, that is, the Qing Dynasty started its own safari in history. Before entering the pass, the grassland tribe had already become its allies and even its subordinates!

It is undoubtedly much easier to have grasslands to rely on and deal with the northwest land strategically.

After all, whether from Shaanxi or Sichuan to Tibet, the steep plateau terrain is a nearly insurmountable difficulty.

When the red flags spread across the country in later generations, it was still difficult to enter Tibet as if it was ascending to the sky, let alone in this era, which would only be more difficult and more dangerous!

If we just defeat the Tibetan tribes in the northwest, it would not be too difficult to rule the Tibetan areas in the northwest. Whether it is a bond policy or a ban, it will always achieve what we want.

But if you want to rule in a factual sense, what you cannot do without is transportation!

If the road from Han to Tibet cannot be smooth, it will be extremely difficult to establish a de facto rule.

and……

The most important thing is the special status of the Northwest in later history!

The emperor remembered clearly that the Junggar Rebellion during the Qing Dynasty in history was not just a war in the vassal system.

It is more like a vassal system of the Central Celestial Empire, a formal showdown with the Treaty Colonial System of the New Western Forces!

The system of vassal states began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and evolved step by step, that is, the vassal states paid tribute to the sect leader and became vassal states of the sect leader.

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this system has been the fundamental policy of the Central Plains dynasties to small surrounding countries.

Submission, canonization, and tribute, every central Chinese dynasty must have a large number of younger brothers.

When the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it naturally inherited this system.

It enthroned a large number of small countries around it in front of the central dynasty since ancient times.

The historical Junggar was naturally in the system of tribute to the vassal state.

During this period of the Qing Dynasty, it was already the time for Western countries to develop rapidly.

Compared with the vassal tribute system of the Central Celestial Empire since ancient times, the West naturally also has their own system rules.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents later! For example, the treaty system and the colonial system are all systems that the West plunders the world.

The Juan Gar Rebellion in history is strictly speaking, a collision between the vassal tribute system and the treaty colonial system!

Qing Dynasty, Junggar, Tsarist Russia.

The three forces, the Qing Dynasty, were the rulemakers of the vassal tribute system, and Tsarist Russia, represented the Western treaty colonial system.

The Junggar tribe is located in the northwest, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia. Although it was a member of the Qing Dynasty's vassal tribute system, it had many contacts and collusions with Tsarist Russia from the very beginning.

In history, the Junggar rebellion, the Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to invade and even directly involved in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Although it was finally defeated by the Qing Dynasty...

But the Qing Dynasty...

The Treaty of Nebchu and the Treaty of Chatuk were the answers given by the Qing Dynasty when facing this system duel.

Although it was due to the threat of Junggar, there was no doubt that from the beginning, the Qing Dynasty had never adhered to the vassal tribute system since ancient times. The two orders and treaties directly sold the tribute land of millions of square kilometers since ancient times to Tsarist Russia.

Of course, it was extremely cost-effective for the Qing Dynasty at that time. After all, what can be obtained is the most affordable, and even the bonds are troublesome. If you take them out, you will not lose money.

Moreover, the Zhungeal at that time was the biggest concern of the Qing Dynasty.

But it is obvious that this directly led to the bankruptcy of the vassal tribute system in the factual sense.

After all, it is natural to surrender to the boss, the boss, and protect the younger brother.

The protection of Korea during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was an unquestionable adherence to the vassal tribute system.

The bankruptcy of the vassal system led to the complete bankruptcy of the order of the central Celestial Empire radiating to the surrounding vassal states.

This set a very bad precedent for the Qing Dynasty, namely... cutting soil for peace...

Since the Qing Dynasty, when the sect leader and country were not protected, one by one, the vassal states that had been infiltrated and divided and eroded by various Western forces.

And all this, the Qing Dynasty, who was closed to the country, did not care about it at all, until the vassal states were eaten up without any buffering.

The weakness of the Qing Dynasty was completely revealed to Western countries, and from then on, the dim division began.

This also directly led to the fact that since ancient times, these vassal states have become the tyrants of others, grinning at the former sect leader who has been the boss for thousands of years, and the disaster has lasted for at least hundreds or thousands of years!

Tsarist Russia, when Siberia was weak in its power, had gained such great benefits, so naturally left with satisfaction.

What remains is the civil war in the doomed vassal tribute system, that is, to pacify Junggar...

It is obviously difficult to calm right and wrong, merit and demerit.

But for Daheng, it is undoubtedly very clear.

If the northwest Tibet is not handled properly, it will sooner or later chaos, and Tsarist Russia will definitely infiltrate and even invade.

This point is clear, and it is also very clear how Daheng wants to do it.

It doesn’t matter how Tibet is in the northwest, and it doesn’t matter how Tsarist Russia is.
