In this East, no matter how the times change, since ancient times, it has been a battle between the Central Plains dynasty and the northern grassland nomadic peoples.
After you sing and I will appear, the Central Plains dynasty ended again and again, and the nomadic peoples also rose and fell again and again.
No matter what era the grassland changes drastically, the Central Plains dynasty will inevitably be affected by it.
The same is true for Daheng.
Before it is difficult to step north on the grassland, Daheng’s focus strategy on the grassland was to weaken the differentiation. The fundamental purpose was to split the grassland and not become a whole!
From ancient times to the present, every unification of the grassland almost means the bloody history of the Central Plains dynasty.
Nowadays, the same is true. Strictly speaking, the grassland has been weakened to the extreme. After all, since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the grassland has been strangled many times after various forces appeared in the market.
Even though Lin Danhan almost unified the desert, he took over the mess with a disintegration.
Even Lin Danhan's unification with unstable foundations was not terrifying in the late Ming Dynasty and the few years before the founding of Daheng.
Lin Danhan's existence made an indelible contribution to the Tianqing situation again and again.
Even now, the grassland unification is almost collapsed, but Lin Danhan’s threat is obviously not to be underestimated.
In the northern border of Daheng, hundreds of thousands of troops were hoarded over the years, and Lin Danhan was the one who was guarding against it!
And this is just a nearly collapsed Mongolia.
If Lin Dankhan's power spreads to the northwest, or if Junggar takes advantage of the situation, his power spreads to the south and north of the desert.
It is obvious that no matter which one it is, it is unacceptable for Daheng.
In the north of Daheng, there cannot be enemies that threaten Daheng.
After the Daheng court made the fundamental strategic decision, the General Staff Intelligence Department made a large number of detailed work in the northwest and grasslands, followed by the continuous stream of information, which was transmitted back to Daheng from the grasslands and northwest.
At the same time, Daheng Honglu Temple also sent envoys to the northwest Tibet and Mongolian grasslands to understand its strategic intentions from an official level.
In fact, this is the first time since the establishment of Daheng, in the name of diplomacy, it has sent envoys from the official to the northwest and to the grassland.
Although the northern provinces were the foundation of Daheng, in fact, Daheng's vassal system was concentrated in the south that had just been reclaimed and pacified, such as Myanmar, Ryukyu, etc., which almost completely inherited the many vassal states in the south of the former Ming Dynasty.
But in the north, because Daheng was eyeing the northern border, both Mongolia, the four major parts of Tibet in the northwest, and even the countless small tribes around Liao Province had no connection with Daheng's vassal system, and even maintained extreme hostility towards Daheng.
Therefore, the official level of communication is almost zero, of course, except for war.
This is also the norm since ancient times, but Daheng has already begun to try to establish another unique system of order in the north.
That is...assimilation!
Just like the erosion and operation of the northern border towards Hetao, and the northwest towards Tibet, it is like opening mountains and building roads, opening up smooth communication, migrating Han people in the disaster area, reducing the burden under natural disasters, and enhancing the control of the pioneering land.
Then, we use military strength to intimidate local foreign races and implement a strategy of coexistence. Those who obey will prosper, those who rebel will perish, and those who obey will remain will coexist with the Han people.
At the same time, destroy the history and the literature, and then select officials and students to educate and perform subtle assimilation.
All of this is naturally much more wanton than in the northern border and northwest.
Of course, the most fundamental element of assimilation is cultivated land. As long as you can farm, the Han people can take root and take root. As long as the military strength can ensure the rooting and survival of the Han people, the most difficult point will be achieved.
Obviously, this assimilation has a huge limitation!
The most fundamental factor is the land that can be cultivated. This is why Daheng takes a small step and is close to the territory of Daheng. There are many places where there are cultivated. This strategy is naturally effective.
But whether it is the vast grassland or the northwest Tibet, the farther away from the territory of Daheng, the less land there is for farming.
Even most places are not suitable for the existence of farming attributes.
If it is not suitable for the existence of farming attributes, it means that the Han people cannot maintain their cultural attributes at all. If they forcefully migrate, the biggest possibility is to be assimilated by alien races.
This is also the fundamental reason why Daheng has been slowing down in the grassland and the northwest for so many years and has never made any major moves on the grassland. Although it is also a factor for domestic development and stability, this is not absolute.
The cavalry and shooting on the grassland are no longer a threat to the current Daheng firearm army. Whether it is the war between the former and the Later Jin Dynasty or the war with Mongolia, it proves this.
Even in the era of flintlock rifle, the era of riding and shooting on the grassland becoming the king is over.
The money and grain that supports the war, over the years, the reserve grain in Daheng Capital has been enough to allow the entire Daheng million army to eat for five years!
The agricultural tax grain is transported from all over the world to the capital every year. Although it consumes a huge part of it under various major strategies every year, under the current financial and taxation land reform, it is becoming more and more money. Daheng can barely say that his family has enough money.
It is also obvious that as long as the grassland cannot be incorporated into the ruling system, the grassland will always be a threat.
Daheng Wuxun’s attitude towards the grassland is to weaken the differentiation, wait for the opportunity to win, and do his best in one battle, just like the prosperous era in history, completely plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves and sealing the wolf’s servants!
Although the emperor agrees with this, what the emperor prefers is...
If one day a track can go straight to the hinterland of the grassland from Daheng, and a steam train can go straight to the grassland from Daheng in just a few days.
No matter what the problem is, it will not be a problem anymore.
This is the greatest expectation in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, in recent years, whether it is the northwest or the grassland, they all follow the decisions of Daheng’s civil and military officials. The emperor has almost never intervened, but just slowly planned it, waiting for the so-called opportunity to win.
If this decisive opportunity, in terms of strategic situation, is naturally the weakening of the grassland and the northwest to a certain extent, which is the opportunity to send troops to win as Wu Xun imagined.
But in the mind of the emperor, this decisive opportunity is an innovation in productivity!
