Chapter 737: Strategic Evolution

The emperor's inspection of the northwest border was still continuing. After the emperor arrived, everything was in order.
If the storm caused by the emperor in Liao Province is said to be long-term, it is naturally unknown, but the shock in a short period of time will naturally exist.
The northwest was running smoothly, and the emperor inspected as usual. On the grassland, a shocking storm spread rapidly with Lin Danhan's night of massacre at the end of the tenth year of Zhaowu!
Daheng's intelligence system in the General Staff was also completely shocked by this sudden storm.
The roar ran and made four things in detail. While trying to send the news back to Daheng at the fastest speed, he also needed to find out the details of the matter.
All this was naturally unknown to Daheng at that time. At the end of the tenth year of Zhaowu, the emperor inspected the northwest border for more than ten days and witnessed the details of the northwest border with his own eyes.
The emperor set off again, and the destination of this trip was also in Hetao, known as the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall!
Since pacifying Hetao and incorporating Hetao into the Daheng ruling system, Daheng established a province in Hetao, and at the same time, he established the six Hetao prefectures in part of the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi.
Thanks to Daheng's long-term operation before pacifying Hetao, the establishment of Hetao province was obviously much better than the situation in Liao Province at that time.
In the early days of the establishment, after Daheng operated in the northern border for many years, the population of the six Hetao prefectures had reached one million.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Hetao is located in Shaanxi, a major disaster.
In fact, long before the court decided to migrate, thanks to the long-term continuous attack on grassland by the northern border troops, the border was peaceful, and there were many people in Shaanxi who spontaneously migrated to the Hetao area outside the Seizure.
After Daheng sent troops to Hetao, formally established a province and established a complete political and military system, the spontaneous migration of the people in Shaanxi was even more huge.
Compared to being migrated to Liao Province by the imperial court, the people of Shaanxi are obviously more interested in the Hetao Plain, which is more in line with their hometown.
Therefore, as early as the early eighth year of Zhaowu, under such a large scale of spontaneous civil migration, the court stopped the official organization's strategy for migration to Hetao, and only retained the support policy for the migration of people to Hetao.
[To be honest, I have been using wild fruit reading to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud for many tones, www. Android and Apple are available.]
Despite this, the population growth of the six Hetao prefectures, especially Yinchuan prefectures, which are adjacent to Shaanxi, is the focus of the skyrocketing population.
According to the summary of the household registration book of Yinchuan Prefecture, by the end of the tenth year of Zhaowu, the population of Yinchuan Prefecture in Hetao had jumped to 480,000, accounting for nearly half of the total population of Hetao province.
As a result, the population distribution in Hetao Province is obviously extremely uneven, and it is completely distributed in a step form from the inside to the outside.
The closer you are to the local Central Plains, the more people you are, the farther you are from the local Central Plains, the less people you are.
Moreover, the current Hetao Province is also very similar to Liao Province, which has been developed by the whole country for many years.
The Liao Province, which Daheng divided its territory, was completely included in the Nurgans Department of the Ming Dynasty. Its jurisdiction extends to the sea in the east, to the northeast, to the Onon River in the west, to the Tumen River in the south, to the outer Xing'an Mountains in the north.
The vast territory is almost as vast as half of the Central Plains, and the current out-of-control land of Daheng is actually just a small area next to the sea and mountains.
The same is true in the Hetao area.
The Daheng Hetao system is also divided according to the traditional Hetao Plain, that is, to the west of the Sheyan River, to the northwest, to the Hei River, to the northwest, to pass through Yulinwei, and to the south of the Sancha River flow into it.
There is the Yellow River in the north, flowing through here from Ningxia Wei, west through the west of the old Fengzhou, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, Zhedong, and then east through the old Dongshengwei, and then into the Pinglu Wei boundary of Shanxi.
The territory is two thousand miles, surrounded by the river on three sides. This is the territory of Hetao Province officially drafted by Daheng.
It is obvious that only the several palaces next to the Central Plains can be considered a true rule. The borders and the wind and sand of the desert are few, except for the border guards and the people.
Of course, even if this is the case, for Daheng, no matter how small the population is, the benefits are still great.
The benefit of just expanding the northern border is that it is so great.
The establishment of Hetao province means that the northern border of Shaanxi has almost completely moved outward. For example, Datong Town and Yulin Town, several former border towns, are almost about to become history at present.
The expansion of the border, which also means that the northern border defense system that has lasted for hundreds of years, will inevitably require comprehensive changes.
Daheng naturally accepted the nine-side system for hundreds of years in the previous Ming Dynasty.
However, in Daheng, it was the ten-side system. After the destruction of the Later Jin Dynasty, the mountains and seas of the ten-side and the climbs of the ten-side have already lost its strategic significance.
The ten sides turned into eight sides, and they still guarded the northern border of Daheng. Since its founding, they have fought against foreign enemies for many years, which has made great contributions to the defense of Daheng's northern border.
However, with the development of Hetao and the overall expansion of the border, the former border town system will naturally change accordingly.
The entire border towns in northern Shaanxi Province, the entire border town system has become history, the border guard system, and the overall outward movement.
Due to its outstanding geographical location and strategic position, the northern border of Hetao has become the leader of the Dahengbian Town system.
Of course, the expansion of the border outside brings not only changes in the border guard system, but also changes in the entire northern military system.
The northern border of Shaanxi has become inland, and the defense system of guarding the capital in Shaanxi will naturally change accordingly.
The garrison of the capital is even more different from heaven and earth than before.
In the former Ming Dynasty, the capital was located in northern Xinjiang, Jizhen, Datong and Liaodong, and was the focus of defense.
At present, Liaodong has long been stable, and the overall outward expansion of the border brought by Hetao, the threat of external enemies in the capital is like Jizhen.
Since Jizhen was reorganized, Jizhen's military power has always been the best. From Duke Jingguo to Jizhen, there have been many conquering grasslands. To this day, Duke Dingguo is in charge of Jizhen.
The northern border seems to be limited to Jizhen, but in fact, the Mongolian tribes in the southern desert have long retreated under the routine conquests of Jizhen for many years.
Outside Ji Town, the once rich and fertile grasslands are now full of traces of the activities of the Han people. They were once the place where the iron cavalry ran on the grasslands. Now, they are naturally the place where the border troops in Ji Town patrol routinely.
Under such influence, the capital city had almost lost its function as the emperor guarding the country's borders.
Although the military center is there, it is not the center of gravity, and it has truly evolved into the inland center.
It is obviously more unrealistic to choose a capital in Jiangnan. In the future, the unrealistic situation will add a little more to the northern border.
No matter how they develop overseas or how rich they are, they will never be as stable as the Han territory.
Between the two, one must be focused.
