In September of the eighth year of Zhaowu, with the official surrender of the Hoshuo Special Division, Daheng's vassal system seemed to have another heavyweight vassal state.
That is...Hoshuo Special Branch!
This is of great significance to Daheng.
For Daheng, the difficulty of the northwest Tibet is not only lies in the terrain, but also in the culture.
A unique culture that is self-contained and deeply rooted!
These two difficulties are the iron walls that block the Daheng Iron Cavalry.
But the surrender of the Heshuo Special Division is equivalent to opening a gap in this iron wall!
For the northwest Tibet, this is undoubtedly a "inducing wolf into the house" in a sense!
But for Daheng, it completely opened the door to the northwest.
With the name of the Shangguo, Daheng can completely enter the northwest Tibet and take the most critical step in the northward advance strategy.
Even if the Heshuo Special Division is unwilling to accept it, as long as the chaos in the grassland continues and the Heshuo Special Division wants to survive, it can only be honest in front of Daheng’s dog!
Whether the grassland is chaotic or not is now up to Daheng.
Of course, the emperor was much more enthusiastic about the new little brother, Hoshuote, than the vassal states in the south.
After all, this little brother's united front value is very great.
When the Hoshuo Special Division met with the emperor, the emperor expressed on the spot that he would strongly support the Hoshuo Special Division.
Immediately, Daheng quickly mobilized a group of antique firearms in the military warehouse, such as coercion guns, tiger squat cannons, Lumi guns, etc., and even mobilized 50,000 stones of food and grass to support my sincerity.
Of course, these support will naturally not be without conditions.
Such as opening mountains and building roads, commercial liaison, military garrison, and, most importantly, is the most inconspicuous "big pie" among the conditions of Daheng against the Heshuo Special Forces!
That is... Daheng relaxes border trade with Heshuo Special Division!
This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Pegasus Special Division to fall from the sky!
After all, Tibet is barren and nothing is needed. The land of Daheng has been a rich place that the northern alien races have been peeping at. In their eyes, Daheng has nothing to do!
Throughout history, mutual trading has always been an important means for the Central Plains dynasty to suppress the northern alien races.
And Daheng actually let go of the border of mutual trading?
When the emperor told this treatment, the Khan of the Heshuo Special tribe, who was still quite resentful of the surrender, suddenly smiled happily. The emperor of the Shangguo Kingdom was so enthusiastic.
The emperor just chuckled and said nothing more.
Compared with the northwest Tibet, Daheng is the difference between heaven and earth, whether it is national strength or property.
Daheng has a vast territory and abundant resources. It has countless products needed by Tibet in the northwest, but how many Daheng has needed by Tibet in the northwest?
Not to mention, it is in this era of slowly innovating productivity.
Economic colonization!
Currency hegemony!
After smooth business and trade exchanges, these two points will inevitably be achieved in the northwest Tibet over time, and even through the ancient Silk Road, it will affect further places!
And when these two points are achieved, the plan for Daheng’s northward advancement will almost be without any obstacles!
In fact, when the emperor proposed this policy, it was strongly opposed by important civil and military officials, believing that smooth trade would cause trouble for the enemy.
After all, business exchanges with the Hokshuo Special Ministry and relaxed border trade, these trade exchanges will inevitably circulate to other tribes in the northwest and will also circulate to Lin Dan Khan's tribe in the north and south of the desert.
This is undoubtedly an act of capital and enemy.
But the emperor's idea was completely different.
In the past, we had to close the trade and block the grassland because the grassland had overlords. Lin Dankhan was almost the unquestionable Khan in the south and north of the desert. The northwest was also peaceful, with four major needles unable to be inserted and water could not be poured into it.
In this way, we can only choose to block border trade, provoke discord, and weaken the forces of both sides.
Nowadays, the three sides are competing for hegemony and wars are endless.
There is obviously no need for a blockade in Daheng. Instead, it can open the trade border so that they can have the strength to continue fighting!
Furthermore, the signs of innovation in productivity and the fixed shape of paper money have made the two new terms, economic colonization and monetary hegemony, have hope of appearing in Daheng.
The emperor also hopes that this will allow Daheng to come into contact with these two points.
After all, most civil officials from ancient times to the present have not liked to expand their territory by wasteing money and making money, but they are all good at making conspiracies.
Such a national strategy is obviously very suitable for civil servants to do nothing to waste people and money, and for military and armor.
The emperor firmly believes that as long as civil servants come into contact with such national strategies, they will definitely be able to play with them!
Just do special people to do special tasks for the emperor and grasp the general direction. Many things that are hard-working can be left to the ministers below to do.
No one has any experience in this kind of thing. Although the emperor understands it, he only knows the basics. The civil officials and important officials were even more confused.
Everything has one thing and two. If you succeed this time, then the next step will be even smoother.
Of course, there is another point in the northwest that can be regarded as an attempt by the emperor to Da Heng world.
The world pattern has been focused on the east and west during the Han and Tang dynasties to the north and south now.
And the north and south, the rich and the poor are obviously extremely uneven.
The south is much richer than the north, and the future ocean era will aggravate the wealth of the south.
When the world's wealth is concentrated in the south, what is inevitable is the southward movement of all the center of gravity!
Even if the political center is in the north, it will definitely not violate this trend.
After all, the clearest thing is that wealth means that only by having more wealth in the family and wealth in the family, can we have a better living environment, a better educational environment, and it will be easier to produce talents.
Being prosperous will also contribute more finance and taxation to the court and attract more energy to pay attention to the court!
The court will pay more attention to the south and less attention to the north.
In this way, a vicious cycle will be formed, with the south becoming richer, the north stagnant, and even lagging behind.
When the north is backward and stagnant, such as grasslands and Tibet in the northwest, these already backward places will naturally become useless places.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is also the fundamental reason why all dynasties have built huge territory outside the territory when they founded the country, but in the middle and late periods of the dynasty, they often gave up one after another and turned to a comprehensive strategic contraction.
After all, if you don’t make ends meet, you have to subsidize other wealthy places. Few people are willing to do such a loss-making business.
This is a normal rule!
The emperor developed Liao Province and set up Maritime Bureaus in various parts of the Bohai Sea, all of which were to make the north richer and to make the balance between the north and the south more likely to be more balanced.
Nowadays, there are also reasons for this.
That is, to open up the ancient Silk Road, connect Central Asia, add another rich source point to the north, and make the north and the south balance as much as possible!
Opening up territory and expanding territory is never enough to be able to defend it.
The most fundamental factor is whether this place can be created by building it down!
That is, even if you can't make ends meet, as long as the value of this place is far greater than the amount of money spent, no matter who is in power or as long as you have no brain problems, you will definitely be unquestionably guarded.
This value can be divided into strategic position and economic position!
Strictly speaking, the northwest Tibet undoubtedly has great strategic value, but in this era, productivity has not yet reached the point where a missile can hit the world in later generations, and its strategic value cannot be reflected.
If strategic value does not work, then only the only way to make it generate economic value can make this land become a permanent land!
Once the Silk Road is fully developed, Tibet will undoubtedly have great economic value, and this economic value is not just Tibet itself.
It also means that those commercial countries connected by Tibet, as well as provinces connected by Tibet, such as Hetao, Shaanxi, Sichuan, etc., will be affected or benefited from this economic value!
Even if the balance between the north and the south is still difficult to balance, it will not be too tilted!
In this way, Tibet will inevitably be an inseparable solid soil and has great value!
Otherwise, a piece of land with rugged terrain, harsh environment, and difficult to manage would be a complete waste.
I have been unable to make ends meet for a long time, so I can’t say which generation I will give up.
This possibility is obviously not without, and the possibility is very great!
How many years has the past Ming Dynasty gone through from strategic offensive to strategic contraction?
Yongle's five campaigns to Mobei, and his grandson succeeded to the throne almost completely denied Yongle's strategic offensive strategy. The interval between this was only a few years!
Obviously, the fundamental reason is that those places that are shrinking and abandoned are not worth enough!
Furthermore, it is because the focus of the country's prosperity lies in the south.
