Chapter 784 The Emperor Dashun, Who Can't Sleep or Eat
Chang'an, this Chang'an is also located on the banks of the Wei River, but this Wei River was called "Amu River" in the past, and Chang'an City was the Bukhara City in the past.
More than ten years ago, when Li Zicheng was defeated, Li Guo led his troops to flee to the grassland. With Dorgon's support, he temporarily set foot on the Hetao Plain, but that was his territory after all.
Dashun must have its own territory.
what to do?
While Dorgon was expeditioning the west, Li Guo, who sent troops to assist in the war, also turned his attention to the Western Regions. Unlike Dorgon, he turned his attention to the south of Kazakhstan, where there were forces such as Shiva, Bukhara and Turkmen. Dashun first conquered Shiva Khan, who was in civil strife, who was the descendant of Shuchi, the eldest son of Genghis Khan.
Then he sent heavy troops to conquer Bukhara. After capturing the two countries, Dashun, who had been wandering in the air, finally had a land of standing.
Even though there are too many deserts and barren mountains in this land, and only some oasis can be cultivated, the emperor and his ministers of Dashun still breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we can live a few years of peace. Like the Qing Dynasty, whether it was the army of more than 100,000 led by Li Guo or the nearly one million soldiers and civilians who fled north by the Shaanxi Shun Army, many of them were male. During the Western Expedition, hundreds of thousands of strong men combined with local women and integrated with the locals.
As for men?
They are all buried under the desert.
Conquest has always been like this.
The so-called "integration", the conquerors never ask the conquered person whether they agree or not. They will plunder the woman as their wives, kill men, and turn children into slaves.
As for what kind of kindness.
What human rights?
The conquered person is qualified to talk about this?
For the conquerors, all this is their privilege, as Temujin said: "The greatest happiness in life is to seize the enemy's horse, take away the enemy's quiver, and embrace the enemy's wife and daughter."
For ordinary Dashun officers and soldiers, of course, they did not have such pleasure, and they could not enjoy the fun from it. What they wanted was nothing more than a woman who passed on the family line, that's all.
Now the millions of soldiers and civilians in Dashun have established themselves in this unfamiliar land.
Although Dashun has a population of more than 1.6 million, it still lacks women, so it often attacks Turkmen, Afghans and Persians, saying it is expansion, but in fact it is just a snatch of women, and of course it is also a snatch of territory.
In short, what Dashun is doing in the west is similar to what the Qing Dynasty did. However, in the eyes of the locals, these "Khitans" are simply devils. They not only destroyed cities, but also destroyed temples. These blasphemous behaviors are simply unacceptable.
But the problem is that they can't beat these people!
As the price of defeat, men were killed, women were robbed, and even Buddhist temples that disappeared on this land once again appeared on this land.
The Qing Dynasty believed in Lamas, Li Guo and others believed in... In fact, it doesn't matter Buddhism and Taoism. Anyway, they don't believe in Tianfang Buddhism. There is no way, everyone likes to eat pork.
After years of hard work, Dashun's rule in Shiva and Bukhara became increasingly stable. Can it be unstable? All the unstable factors were killed. Dashun's power grew stronger and stronger, not only occupied some land of the Turkmen and Persia, but also formed dozens of cities made of military farmland garrisons.
These thieves once settled down and robbed their wives and had children to farm. They lived a comfortable life, but they were in a very sharp contrast with their past life in the Ming Dynasty.
Now Dashun is almost the whole nation to practice martial arts, and even children are no exception. However, most of the children born in these years are mixed-race. They also have to practice martial arts and learn to use muskets. In addition, they have to study in schools. As emperor Li Guo even issued an order. Every garrison has to build a school for children over eight years old. Whether or not they farm, they have to spare two hours to study in schools every day.
Even if these bandits of ordinary people fled far away to the Western Regions, they still recognized reading and literacy from the bottom of their hearts. This is the merit of Confucianism's education, and it is even a sign that distinguishes between Han and the barbarians. Even if their next generation is a mixed-race child, reading distinguishes them from the barbarians and slaves.

Although there is not much rainfall in Central Asia, the water resources on both sides of the Wei River are extremely sufficient. The snow water from the snow mountains forms oasis along the river, and the officers and soldiers of the military farms build canals in the oasis and open up dense fields.
When Li Guo rode his horse out of the palace, it was the harvest season in early autumn. It looked full of golden yellow, with heavy wheat ears very pleasant, and the corn fields in the distance were also golden.
"This is really a paradise!"
Li Guo sighed after jumping off the horse's back.
Compared with their hometown in Shaanxi, this place is indeed a paradise. Although they came from afar, the military and civilians could live and work here. The snow water on the mountains irrigates the oasis and brings them endless food, as if it is the paradise described in the book.
"If we can avoid war, we will be very happy, and it will be a paradise for the world..."
Sun Kewei, the Dashun prime minister, said from the side.
Although his words were a bit exaggerated, it was indeed the case. Of course, this was because no government exploited all military households, and Dashun even pointed out that they were fighting. Although the government would take away 30% of the harvest of military farms, military households had fifty or sixty acres or hundreds of acres of pasture, and the harvest was definitely enough for them to live a relatively prosperous life.
Perhaps, in a few decades, when the population here exceeds the land carrying limit and land annexation, various conflicts will break out by that time.
Of course, Li Guo didn't care about these things at the moment. As the emperor of Dashun, he had to consider a longer-term future.
"Prime Minister, have you heard of it?"
"Um?"
"The Ming Dynasty stretched its hand to the south of Persia."
Li Guo said worriedly.
"What your Majesty is talking about the treaty they signed with Ariba?"
"yes!"
Li Guo nodded. Since he learned the news, he became unable to sleep or eat. In his opinion, it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty was making plans for the future.
What are your plans?
It is definitely going to wipe out Dashun! If one day the Ming Dynasty will be released together, what should we do then? What is waiting for everyone?
I'm afraid it's just a dead end!
He looked south and then Li Guo said.
"Originally, we were going south and defeating Persia. After all, Shiva and Bukhara are all small countries. What else is there except the oasis by the river? And there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the army without wives or daughters. There will definitely be troubles over time, but now..."
His voice sank,
"Now, if we conquer Persia, we may have to meet the Ming Dynasty!"
Meet the Ming Dynasty!
This is exactly what Li Guo has always wanted to avoid. The reason why he even chose to go south was that he hoped not to have direct contact with the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, he had become tired and thought that as long as he could build a place for everyone to have a place to live and work in peace and contentment, he would be content. As for what the emperor is not an emperor, it doesn't matter.
It was even because of this that he did not really ascend the throne. Although his subordinates called him "Your Majesty" and he also called himself the emperor, his reign was still Li Zicheng's reign.
"yes……"
Sun Kewei nodded.
"But, even if we don't go south, we still have to meet what we should encounter. After all, the Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty, and they will definitely not be trapped in the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty and the others have even occupied Myanmar."
"Well, the Ming Dynasty is really different from the past. When Emperor Hongwu was in charge, he established a country of no conquest. However, after Emperor Gansheng ascended the throne, he changed his past and expanded everywhere!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only did this, but also sent people abroad. I heard that in order to recruit immigrants to overseas, they not only sent their land, but also sent their wives..."
Fat the land, come to the wife.
For many people, this is just a joke.
But they couldn't laugh because they were here by winning people's hearts and maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army.
This kind of thing seems absurd, but it may play an extremely effective role in a specific environment.
