Chapter 151 Worry
There are many reasons why the Ming Dynasty did not use troops to the Western Regions.
First of all, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang judged the situation based on the developed maritime trade in the Song and Yuan dynasties and advanced south and guarded the east and west.
The decline of the Silk Road was inevitable, and the benefits brought by trade to the Central Plains dynasty were far less than the expenses needed to conquer the Western Regions.
During the Ming Dynasty, the north was always the primary threat, while the Western Regions were not a threat, especially in the battle between the three armies in the fifth year of Hongwu.
The 150,000 army was divided into three groups. The generals of the middle line attacked the enemy went out of Yanmen, first victories and then defeated, and tens of thousands of casualties were killed and injured. Li Wenzhong, the left deputy general of the eastern line, left Juyongguan, and won one after another. He returned with great victory, lost his way, lost his way, and his food and salary were cut off, and the soldiers died of thirst.
Only Feng Sheng's Western Army was originally a partial army from Lanzhou to Pingliang first, and defeated the Yuan general Shilahan. He advanced to Yongchang and defeated the Taiwei Duoer Geba. When he advanced to Yiji, he was the guard general Buyan Temu surrendered to the city and then captured Guashazhou.
This battle made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that the Yongqing Desert was too hasty, and then changed his strategy, chose generals to prepare borders, repair the city, and issued an edict saying "If you come, you should control it, and if you go, don't chase it."
The biggest obstacle in the Western Regions was what Dong Yiyuan thought, and there was no man.
Dong Yiyuan said he wanted to write a letter to the court to encourage childbirth, but Tong Deng and others almost stopped him, but the general had to be tactful and said that he would think twice.
The Ming Dynasty did not encourage childbirth, but the people of the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to childbirth.
These days, ordinary people do not need contraceptive measures.
There is a single seedling in the family, but that is a minority; there are two or three, but this is not counted as daughters; there are five or six, seven or eight.
The key is that the supporting facilities are not up to date these days. If you give birth to five or six, you can grow into the last five or six. That is because the heaven has eyes, but it cannot cover God's sleepiness.
People generally have the habit of getting richer the poorer they become. This poor have family economy and is more regional poverty. This is impossible.
If you have financial resources and resources, you will be able to raise children. Apart from premature death and accidents, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Giving two children is to inherit the father’s business, and the same is true for having three children.
If you have no financial resources and no resources, this does not mean that you can open a small account if you are useless when you practice a large account. You don’t even know how to practice an account. You can only look at the face and fight the explosive rate.
Eighteen numbers are opened at the same time to save monsters. It doesn’t matter whether they are upgraded or not. It mainly depends on which number can explode the equipment.
What I want is that there are many individuals, the more powerful the population, the stronger the ability to resist risks.
This is how it is to favor boys over girls. Even when a young wife becomes a mother-in-law, she continues to favor boys over girls. Her identity and position change as well - she also needs the ability to resist risks.
In such an environment, encouraging childbirth is creating tragedies on earth.
Most military officers grew up in the garrison station, very close to ordinary military and civilians, and they could see and hear them.
But seeing and hearing doesn't work, it won't change the environment. When they want to care, they are still young, and what they say doesn't matter.
I have been used to it when I have the final say, and how can I take care of it? He raised it after someone gave birth to a child? It is not realistic.
The court issued a law that prohibited infanticide and it was useless. Many county officials reported to the court that the local infanticide was popular and could not be stopped at all.
But Dong Yiyuan didn't care about that. He waved his hand: "That's what Your Majesty and the important officials of the court should consider. Dong only talks about military affairs and does not encourage childbirth. Dong just needs to immigrate."
"Long time, many batches, and large number of immigrants!"
The Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai fought several wars around the Hami Guard in the eighth year of Chenghua, the sixth year of Hongzhi, the eighth year of Hongzhi, and the eighth year of Zhengde. Hami changed hands many times. The most important reason was that there were no men in the city. Every time they regained and controlled the city, they would appoint chieftains.
The power of the early Ming Dynasty did have the atmosphere of the Han and Tang dynasties, which made people come home. Even if the commander and governor of the Hami chieftain kowtowed at the border and were unable to support him, he fought alone outside the border for more than ten years to regain Hami, and when he turned around, he would still kneel down to the east.
But to put it bluntly, even if they are slaves, they respect their ancestors, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu's prestige and kindness, which is different from their descendants. If this continues, the situation has changed for hundreds of years, who can not waver?
"Dong did not mean that the enthroned foreign vassals were unfaithful, there were many loyal people."
If the Hami Guard was stationed in a Han general, even if the Da general like Da Yun who had been with him for generations, and the female direct general who served the border for generations, Tong Deng had his own influence in the border army in the court; if the three or four thousand people in the city were Han, they would have to fight for so many times, so how could the border generals ask for help from friendly forces without going out?
The key is that the imperial ministers in charge of the foreign vassal courts, and the generals and civilians in charge of the affairs of the people do not regard them as their own people.
Dong Yiyuan just clapped his hands and spoke, but he couldn't say this in front of the generals of the Western route: "There is no one, and the court does not pay attention to it. All the generals and subordinates are all for Hami and have shed blood for Tubo, so don't want it to be stable for a long time?"
"To be more recent, we will conquer the territory this year. Ten years later, the local leader was rebelled and his achievements will be like clouds."
"If the city is still in the hands of the court a hundred years later, the editing of the county chronicles will be mentioned. Hami was the result of General Da's capture of the city in the 11th year of Wanli. "
Don’t mention how much resentment Dong Yiyuan was about the lack of Han Er in the Western Regions. He looked back and pointed to the map and said, “If it weren’t for Han Er in the Western Regions, why would we not be allowed to advance here? Can we study the routes on the map and find a trustworthy guide here?”
There were actually Han people in the Western Regions, but they were not in the Western Regions that people generally recognized.
During the Mongolian expedition to the west, they brought the Han people farther away, including those who joined the army, those who fled, those who were wrapped, craftsmen, and waiters. Little people who were in troubled times had nowhere to go and wandered around.
At least on this map that Dong Yiyuan used as a military map, it clearly marked that the Western Regions were all foreign countries, while the Han'er was in the direction further west.
Outside the Persian city of cowardly are four tribes of foreign Han.
In the city of Wengu Lu in Ottoman, there are four villages in Sahei, Feiji City, Lu Micheng, and Han'er live together.
But in the Western Regions, there is no.
If you can walk, you can stay in it. There are no Han people here.
Dong Yiyuan needed a large number of people, 100,000, 200,000, until there were more people from the Ming Dynasty than Yarkand and the Mongols of the Oirat. As he said, he was a general.
He only cared about the war.
Only by regaining the hometown and enriching the Western Regions with their population can we ensure long-term stability of this land.
The true competitiveness of the Ming Dynasty also lies in the ability to bring peace.
The Joseon Dynasty and the Ryukyu Dynasty were fools who were willing to live under the jurisdiction of the people and delivered themselves to their homes as tribute countries? It was precisely because the Ming Dynasty had the ability to bring peace - this was to establish the Emperor under the conditions that the Emperor was not an autistic person.
Once the emperor closes the door himself, all this will no longer exist.
The key point of this core competitiveness is that if you do not pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, you need to worry about the Khan of the Ola, the Khan of Yilibali, and the Khan of Tubo.
