Grandpa Guo, according to the situation from the three cities in Saibei this quarter, our department has preliminarily completed, and the actual control of the seven regions adjacent to Gansu Town, Ningxia Town, Yulin Town, Taiyuan Town, Xuanfu Town, Jizhou Town, and Liaodong Town, and the grassland tribes living in this area have all completed economic dependence.

  This also makes our department in the northern part of the country, in addition to the original Great Wall defense line, to build a living Great Wall that can be moved! ”

  After telling about the affairs of the grassroots government, Yang Dang continued to report the situation to Zhao Zongwu, and as the secretary supervising the A-level planning, the three cities in the north of the country are definitely the first important planning and deployment.

  With the growth of time spent in the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zongwu has also formed a rough basic outline in his mind about the garrison of the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also because of this outline that he has been committed to building a new garrison system after mastering the northwest region.

  Although the Great Wall defense line is still the main carrying place, for Zhao Zongwu, the existing Great Wall defense line, in fact, many places are unreasonable, but because of the national policy and army deployment of the Ming Dynasty at that time, in order to adapt to the situation at that time, this unreasonable place was built.

  With the passage of time, to build the so-called construction again on the basis of the already unreasonable can be said to be the existence of mistakes on top of mistakes.

  Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty is the country, but the timing of its takeover, in the previous Han dynasty, can be said to be the worst foundation, plus before the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang obtained the authority of the world, his background was a sect-based force, which also made the world's scholars not optimistic about the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning.

  Although the description of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in history can be said to describe all the bad things on his head.

  But this can't be covered up at all, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a rare male master!

  Under the premise of many disadvantages, it not only defeated many hostile forces that competed in the world, but also finally expelled the brutal Tatars from the Chinese region.

  However, when he got this world, although the Ming Dynasty said that under the governance of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, it had recovered some vitality in the south, but in the north, because it was ruled by the steppe Tatars, it can be said that there was no so-called pillar economy at all, and the local people lived a life of misery.

  In order to allow the north to recover earlier, in order to continue to fight against the remnant Yuan forces entrenched in the grassland in the north, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, began to build a large-scale system of guards in the north, especially in the border areas, this model of governance was definitely a good policy in the early Ming Dynasty, but with the passage of time, it became a hotbed of corruption in the late Ming Dynasty.

  Zhao Zongwu did not control many previous situations, but with the beginning of his control of the nine borders, he was also actively planning a strategy to stabilize the northern frontier, so he came up with a grassland strategy that combined the weakening of troops, sectarian invasion, and economic control.

  The weakening of the army is to use the method of military training to continuously go deep into the grassland, effectively strike at the grassland tribes, and also play a role in sharpening the soldiers and horses under his command.

  The sectarian invasion is to provoke the contradictions between the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect of the Grassland on the basis of the strategy used by the original Jiannu, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the spirit of the grassland.

  In addition to the original relevant deployment arrangements, Zhao Zongwu also prepared to build three giant cities in the Hetao area, the naturalized area, and the Duoyan area, namely Longxing City, Naturalization City, and Phoenix City, and took these three giant cities as the fundamental core to realize the actual control of the adjacent seven towns.

  Zhao Zongwu smiled slightly and said: "The prosperity of the three cities in the north of the country is related to the long-term stability of my northern frontier.

  According to the first phase of planning and deployment, the three cities in the north of the country should achieve actual control over the seven towns adjacent to the north within two years, and through these three huge economic windows, they can use silver money to bind the grassland tribes in the region, so that they can willingly give up the strategy and raise their cattle and sheep with their hard-working hands. ”

  Perhaps in its heyday, the Han dynasty was able to suppress the grassland in its heyday, but as long as its national strength declined, this frontier has never been peaceful.

  On the one hand, this is related to the aggressiveness of the grassland aliens, and on the other hand, it is related to the harshness of their living environment.

  After all, this killing kills people.

  Yang Dang nodded and said: "According to the investigation done by the secretary and supervisor in the past two years, and according to the summary of the direct and indirect economic losses caused by the raiding of the grassland aliens on the border over the years, it is obvious that with the construction of the three cities in the northern part of the country, the economic losses suffered by my northern frontier have plummeted.

  And the economic support given by the three cities of Saibei and the grassland aliens living in this area is not as good as 10% of the economic losses suffered over the years!

  Even because of the perfection of the three cities in Saibei, the communication under our command has become very smooth and natural, which also makes the internal material circulation also reach the highest in the past! ”

  In order to build the three cities in the north of the country, Zhao Zongwu used six legions, and fierce battles broke out in the Hetao area, the naturalized area, and the Duoyan area, and the direct casualties were as high as more than 6,000 soldiers, which also made some people wonder if it was worth paying such a high price to obtain these desolate areas?

  But with the passage of time, the economic gains that have been made in the three cities of Saibei over the years have directly made those who had doubts honestly shut up, and at the same time, Zhao Zongwu's prestige under his command has surged again.

  Why did Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and Chen Qiyu follow Zhao Zongwu so honestly?

  That is because Zhao Zongwu has proved his wisdom again and again with practical actions, and such a forward-looking deployment has also made Sun Chuanting and them gradually become disappointed in Daming in their hearts, and finally turned into despair.

  After all, this is controlled by Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, and the Ming Dynasty has broken out again into more serious party disputes.
