In front of Shanhaiguan, Liu Jin rode a high-headed horse and looked at Shanhaiguan in front of him.

This Shanhaiguan is known as the first pass in the world, and it is the most important barrier in the Beijing-Tianjin area of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the Shanhaiguan in front of him, Liu Jin was full of thoughts.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui opened the Shanhai Pass, luring the Qing army into the pass, and the Central Plains once again fell to foreign rule.

If this Wu Sangui doesn't open the Shanhaiguan, will this mite Qing be able to kill it?

Could this history be different?

Soon, Liu Jin couldn't help but shake his head again.

"After cleaning up the grassland people, the next thing is to find a way to clean up the wild boar skin in the white mountains and black water~"

Thinking of Mites, Liu Jin's thought of the Liaodong region.

Liaodong is a good place.

Baishan is extremely rich in black water resources, and the land in Liaodong is the most fertile black soil, which was the most important production area in later generations, and it was also the most important industrial land in the early period.

If the Liaodong region is opened, then a port can be built in the place of Vladivostok in the future, and then you can set off directly from Vladivostok when you go to the Golden Continent.

If the fertile land in the eastern Liaodong region had been developed, it would have been enough to feed hundreds of millions of people, and now there were potatoes and corn, both of which could be grown in the eastern Liaodong region, let alone wheat.

In later generations, when the technology matured, even rice could be grown, and Northeast rice was famous.

There are also rich forest resources in Liaodong, and there is a big limitation in shipbuilding in Tianjin, that is, there is no good wood, but it is different in Liaodong.

Developed here, Changbai Mountain, Daxing'an Mountains, and Xiaoxing'an Mountains are all primeval forests, and some are resources.

"The western grassland is safe, and there is no great danger in the development of Liaodong."

"North Korea in the east is obedient to the Ming Dynasty, and the only trouble is these Tunguska boar skins."

Liu Jin's mind pondered.

Liaodong, a good place so close to the Ming Dynasty, is really a tyrannical thing if it is not developed.

Whether it is to go to Liaodong by land, or from here in the Bohai Sea to Liaodong, it is very convenient.

The expansion of the Ming Dynasty overseas is very important, and the fertile land around it cannot be wasted.

"If the musket technology is mature, there is no problem in cleaning up these wild boar skins."

"The most important thing is how to develop the eastern Liaoning region."

"Land, timber, fur, ginseng, these four things are absolutely indispensable."

"But people are still scared of these places, and safety comes first."

When Liu Jin thinks of the Liaodong region, the first thing that comes to Liu Jin's mind is the fertile land, endless timber, and fine ginseng and fur.

"There are also coal and iron ore~"

"With these things, there should be no problem with the development of Liaodong."

Liu Jin was thinking about the affairs of the Liaodong region.

The three people around him, Battle, Hadan, and Huhe were looking at the huge Shanhaiguan in front of them in a daze.

I have followed Dayan Khan here before, trying to see if I can enter the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty from the Shanhaiguan Pass, but I have failed every time.

Shanhaiguan is too steep to be opened from here.

"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to pass through Shanhaiguan one day."

Battle couldn't help but smile and said.

In the past, I always thought that if I had wings, I would fly over from here, so that I could directly kill the Ming Jingshi.

Who would have thought that one day they would be able to ride a horse through Shanhaiguan slowly.

"It was even reinforced and heightened a lot with cement, such a Shanhaiguan is difficult to knock down with a cannon~"

Getting closer and closer to Shanhaiguan, Liu Jin saw it more clearly.

As high as more than a dozen zhang of Shanhaiguan, you can clearly see the traces of cement.

The location here is so important that the Ming court attaches great importance to it.

Cement is cheap, so it is inevitable to strengthen this place.

Riding horses, he took Batel and Hadan through the Shanhaiguan.

Wang Shouren is still on the grassland, he wants to continue to fight against the Warat, the Heshute Department below the Warat is ready to move, after the Tatar tribes lose their last strength, if there is no protection of the Ming Dynasty, they will soon be swallowed up by the Warat people.

So he led five thousand elite horsemen to stay in the grassland.

On the one hand, they fought against the Warat and Shute tribes, and on the other hand, they also began to build castles on the steppe.

The Tatar tribes were attached to the Ming Dynasty, and this grassland would be the Ming Dynasty in the future.

According to the strategy specified by Liu Jin, a large number of castles must be built on the grassland, relying on these castles, with points into lines, lines into planes, and then form a huge network covering the entire grassland.

On the one hand, the castle can be convenient for herdsmen to regularly drive their cattle wool and wool to sell, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for merchants from the customs to buy cattle, sheep and horses from the grassland here.

On the other hand, it is also to play a defensive role, once things change, it can also be equivalent to a nail, firmly nailed to the grassland.

After passing the Shanhaiguan, I entered the North Zhili.

Because it is close to the Beijing-Tianjin area, Beizhili is now also the fastest growing place.

One of the most direct manifestations of this is the concrete road.

Since the first cement road was built between Beijing and Tianjin, the cement road has begun to spring up here in Beizhili.

There are cement roads planned and built by the imperial court, and there are also cement roads built by local gentry with fractional funds.

The people of Beizhili have tasted the benefits of cement roads.

The clean, flat and open cement road can greatly facilitate communication with the outside world, and with the rapid development of the Beijing-Tianjin area, the huge radiation force has also driven the development of the entire North Zhili.

Outside the Shanhaiguan Pass, it was a vast and boundless wilderness.

But as soon as I passed the Shanhaiguan, I immediately entered the bustling city.

The Ming Dynasty directly built a new cement road from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan.

The road was built to facilitate the transportation of troops and food.

Shanhaiguan is too important to be missed.

With a wide cement road, everyone likes to come and see houses on both sides of the concrete road.

And under the influence of the Beijing-Tianjin area, these houses are basically built of reinforced concrete.

There is no way, the people of Beizhili are rich and capricious.

In the Beijing-Tianjin area, the most people here are the people of Beizhili.

From the officials of the court, down to the bosses and stewards of major commercial houses, the crew of HNA, or the workers of factories and workshops, etc., there are people from Beizhili everywhere.

There are too many rich people in Beizhili.

Even ordinary people, because of the development of the Beijing-Tianjin area, everyone has also enjoyed the fruits of development, and their pockets have swelled.

Since ancient times, this is rich, and it is the first choice to build beautiful houses.

Along the cement road leading to Tianjin, all the way are neatly built and beautiful new-style houses.

In addition to these beautiful houses.

From time to time, you can see four-wheeled carriages full of goods on the road, which are in a hurry and seem very busy.

These four-wheeled carriages are very large and carry a lot of goods.

"It's a bit of an afterlife~"

Riding on a tall horse, Liu Jin looked at the houses on both sides of the road with interest.

As for the nobles and leaders of the steppe tribes such as Battle, Hadan and Hohe, they all widened their eyes one by one.

Basically, these people have been to Daming.

Of course, they all followed the little Tatar prince to the south to plunder to the Ming Dynasty, and even almost approached the Ming Dynasty's capital division on several occasions.

The Da Ming in my impression and the Da Ming in front of me are completely different.

The houses of Daming are basically mud houses, very low and dilapidated.

However, the houses on both sides of the road in front of me are very tall, and the exterior walls are either tiled or simply plastered with lime, and they look completely different.

There is also the concrete road under this foot, which is very wide, very smooth and clean, winding on the ground to the end of the view.

"This is the concrete road?"

Battle couldn't help but dismount himself and stomp hard with his foot, it was very hard, like a stone.

He had also heard of cement, and even some merchants sold it to the grasslands.

It's just that he didn't pay attention to this thing at all before, the grassland people are vast, and everyone rides horses, who wants this cement?

But now, looking at the winding cement road in front of him, he suddenly understood that if Daming was full of such spacious cement roads.

The steppe people can't fight the Ming no matter what.

In the past, although the population of the grassland people was very small, because of the war horses, they were able to press the Ming Dynasty to the death.

Although the Ming Dynasty is huge, it has no way to exert its huge national strength.

One of the most important reasons is traffic restrictions.

The circulation of people and goods is extremely inconvenient.

But with this cement road, coupled with the four-wheeled carriages galloping on this road, Daming can fully mobilize his huge national strength.

In the face of such a Ming Dynasty, how can the grassland people win?

Daming has a population of nearly 10,000, and the people on the grassland are not as large as the population of a province in Beizhili.

"Times have changed~"

Battle seems to have a premonition of a new era.

The relationship between the steppe people and the Central Plains people may have to be completely changed in the future.

Not only Battle, but also the nobles and leaders of the grasslands such as Hadan and Hohe were also full of emotion.

Some people sigh at the richness of the Ming Dynasty, where everyone can live in such a beautiful house, and you can see all kinds of things casually, even this window is glass.

Some people also lamented the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there are too many people, and they are too busy, unlike the grassland, which is empty at a glance, and it is rare to see a few people.
