Chapter Eighty-Nine: Yu Qian's Northwest Policy

Zhu Qizhen was in the Qianqing Palace, watching Yu Qian's series of twists and turns.

The first thing Zhu Qizhen saw was the question about Xining Ma City.

Daming is not without horse markets, but they are all on the nine sides, such as Datong and Fushun, and as soon as the war started, these horse markets stopped.

Regarding the tea horse, Yu Qian handled it remarkably, and Zhu Qizhen was naturally relieved.

It's just that even if Yu Qian has a big harvest, waiting for the big war horse to be transported to Beijing will be next year.

After all, it's the end of autumn.

The traffic in this era is really annoying.

Zhu Qizhen's hope to launch a general attack on the tile spur next year is no longer possible.

Later, Zhu Qizhen noticed the situation in Tibet, especially the frequent civil strife in the line of the Pazhu regime, and the problem of no heir. There are also powerful ministers in charge and so on.

Zhu Qizhen was not surprised by the weakening of the Pazhu regime.

Without him, such a thing would be a commonplace for anyone who has read Chinese history books. But all kinds of problems after the Pazhu regime.

But it is a thought in the heart.

Even in modern wars, public opinion comes first, Zhu Qizhen has adapted to this era and understands the importance of a good excuse. Although I want to fight, I can always find an excuse. But a good excuse can save Zhu Qizhen a lot of things.

In this regard, there is no doubt in North Korea.

If North Korea didn't make this happen, no matter how unsatisfactory North Korea made Zhu Qizhen, he wouldn't be able to do it easily.

Of course, Tibet is different from North Korea.

Although Tibet is an inseparable part of the motherland, Zhu Qizhen is not very interested in Tibet now.

Because the living environment in Tibet is a little too harsh.

Mobilizing a large army for Tibet is worth the loss.

But if you use a more ingenious way, rule Tibet. He may not have been unwilling.

Since the Lang clan is facing the problem of the heir, if Zhu Qizhen can intervene in this matter, it is also a very good choice to expand the influence of the Ming Dynasty into Wusizang.

As for what to do?

Zhu Qizhen had two sets of filings in his heart in an instant.

The first set is the reincarnation of the afterlife.

The Dalai Lama has appeared. Although reincarnation has not yet begun, but is the first Dalai Lama, in Tibetan Buddhism, the theory of reincarnation already exists.

Since you want to be reincarnated, then the reincarnated spirit child must be chosen by Daming.

This is the law of later generations, so I won't say much about it here.

The second set of methods, Zhu Qizhen was improvised, especially after seeing the Lang family law, he had a vague impression.

Zhu Qizhen wants to give the surname Zhu of the Lang family, and then join the sect, so the first Xi and the lord of Wu Sizang must be selected from the Zhu family. whereas

The old Zhu family is not afraid of extinction.

What the?

You say Lang doesn't want to?

This is going to use a little wrist, in a religious sense, the Lang family feels that their bloodline is noble, but who dares to say that my Zhu family's bloodline is not noble, and the Jinyi guards are waiting there.

And the Lang family is the heir, rather than giving it to other families, it is better to introduce it to the imperial court, after all, the ministers below have their own set of teams, and the life of the old ministers of the Lang family must be difficult, but although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it is always five or six thousand miles away from Wu Sizang.

The whip is beyond the reach of the whip, so he naturally has to rely on the old ministers of the Lang family.

As far as Zhu Qizhen is concerned, if this goal can be achieved, Tibet will be in the hands of the Zhu family for generations, and Zhu Qizhen will be satisfied. At most, a few thousand soldiers and horses will be stationed to escort them, and the rest will not be done again.

After all, the environment in Tibet is too harsh.

It should be crowned a vassal king in Tibet.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen's idea is a whim, and as for how to implement it, you have to think about it carefully.

Zhu Qizhen immediately called Jinyiwei over and explained the two things to them, to find out the situation of Wu Sizang, and to see if anyone was devout in Buddhism from among the children of the clans in various places.

After reading the situation of Uszor

saw Yu Qian's disposal of Ma Zheng.

Yu Qian planned to establish a horse farm near Qinghai and put it under the management of Xining Prefecture.

At this time, Mongolia had not yet entered Qinghai, and when Mongolia really entered Qinghai, it was roughly in Dayan Khan, that is, decades later.

Now the pasture near Qinghai is enough for the Ming Dynasty to graze.

Then there is Yu Qian's rectification of various horse farms in the northwest, and the details are not explained one by one. Yu Qian strives to restore the horse farm within a year or two and pay tribute to Beijing.

But it also takes time for a horse to grow up.

It is impossible that Yu Qian has just rectified here, and the adult war horse will come out next year.

Therefore, no matter how well Yu Qian thinks about it, he may not be able to catch up with the big battle with the tile spur.

Immediately, I saw Yu Qian rectifying the guard and repairing the problems on the side wall. There are all kinds of things, and Zhu Qizhen is just swept away.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen is not interested. But Zhu Qizhen was too humble.

However, seeing the water conservancy, Zhu Qizhen stopped.

Without him, Zhu Qizhen's special attention to water conservancy made him an amateur hydraulic scientist.

Take a closer look at the Northwest Water Conservancy mentioned by Yu Qian.

First of all, Yu Qian pointed out that the water conservancy in the northwest is different from the water conservancy in Hebei, which should prevent flooding and fight drought, but the water conservancy in the northwest only needs to pay attention to drought resistance.

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne for more than 20 years, when there was a flood in the northwest, Zhu Qizhen only remembered it once or twice. It is not comparable to the east and the south at all, but most of it is dry.

After establishing the goal, Yu Qian first had to restore and repair the old canals of the Han and Tang dynasties.

The capital of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, and the northwest was the gateway to Chang'an

The camp is good. There are a large number of water conservancy facilities, but they are old and dilapidated, some of them have long been unusable because of the change of terrain, but there are still some damage that is not big, as long as they are repaired, they can play a role.

Even if there are some untimely places, it is better to dig again on the basis of the old canal, which is better than creating something out of nothing.

These water conservancy projects do not have a large amount of work and produce quick results.

That's what Yu Qian is going to do now.

After all, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were all gathered in Beijing and used to fight the war. Although Yu Qian is the governor of the three sides, the money in Yu Qian's hands is not too much.

Secondly, after doing all this, Yu Qian relied on the Yellow River to build channels in Lanzhou, Ningxia, and other places, and took both sides of the Yellow River as the focus of his operation.

After all, the Yellow River is only profitable.

It's just that this water conservancy project can't be built as drastically as in Hebei, but it has to be built piecemeal, mostly with windmills and waterwheels to lift water from the Yellow River, and then build irrigation channels.

Even a considerable part of the irrigation canals, in order to prevent evaporation, can not leak above the ground, just like the karez in the Western Regions, which has been the Longshou Canal in the Han Dynasty, which flows in the form of underground rivers and effectively reduces the amount of evaporation.

Yu Qian had no intention of asking the court for money in his plan, but he had a desire to stay in the northwest for several years.

If he does not govern the northwest region well, Yu Qian has no idea of transferring.

After all, the people in the northwest are too bitter compared to the people in Hebei and Jiangnan.

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and then criticized: "Accurate." ”

If the northwest can restore the old view of the Tang and Han dynasties, it will be of great help to the imperial court. It's just that governing the northwest is a much more difficult thing than governing Hebei.

And Yu Qian's current conditions are much worse than at the beginning.

At least Yu Qian did not have Zhu Qizhen's almost unlimited support from the center.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen felt a little sorry for Yu Qian in his heart, and immediately criticized: "The matter of the northwest, Qing tried his best to do it, and also need to pay attention to the invasion of tile thorns, take care of everything, and on the day of the great success, I will invite Mr. to enter Beijing to celebrate." ”

If the Ming army does not launch an attack on the tile spur next year, the tile spur will not be idle.

After all, the Mongols rarely have rest and recuperation in their thinking, and even if they do, they are not as fast as the Ming Dynasty's savings, so they naturally want to go south.

After two defeats, the tile spurs did not dare to enter the Ming Dynasty from the eastern or central front, and the western front, where Shaanxi is located, is very likely.

This is also something that Zhu Qizhen is worried about.

Zhu Qizhen finished reading Yu Qian's recital. Pondered silently for a while. opened the following recital again, but it was the recital sent by Zhengduan Murui and He Yong from Daning.

In the autumn of the twentieth year of orthodoxy, the Ming Dynasty's move to recover Kaiping Dongsheng was smooth and smooth, as if it was an armed prototype.

As expected. But the real difficulty is not at the time of the war, but after the war.
