Under certain circumstances, Tsarist Russia, which dreams of becoming the world's largest empire forever, even has the ability to pretend to be a grandson, let alone betray its so-called allies in private. Besides, where can there be eternal allies?

"In fact, if your government can do this, it will not only put an end to the chaos caused by the constant war, but also bring long-term peace and prosperity to the people of your government. And, more importantly, the whole world will be overwhelmed by the greatness of your government. "In order to fulfill the tsar's beautiful dreams, Pryushenko continued to peddle his dogskin plaster.

"Hehe......" Lin Haifeng finally smoked enough cigarette butts, squinted at Pryushenko, and took a sip of the cup containing the cold white open, "As a professional soldier, the general can have such profound knowledge, especially the history of our Ming Dynasty, oops, it's really admirable." You don't have to be polite, I have this praise from the heart, because not many of us here can match your level. Well, many people still don't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, or simply don't have that concept at all. ”

Lin Haifeng lowered his head and put the water cup, "However, your understanding of the history of our Ming Dynasty is still too one-sided, and there are some places where I have to correct and correct you." Let's first talk about your Ming Dynasty to prove that our Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Qing Temple......"

In the past, and now, there are many literati who shake their heads, sigh, and belittle the Ming Dynasty when they mention it, of course, these literati are referring to things that claim to still have Han blood in their veins. Despite the 200 years of ravages suffered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and despite the fact that they all witnessed the "Opium War" and other national humiliations under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these so-called cultural celebrities were more willing to talk about the so-called "prosperous Kangqian era" and even yearn for it. They are happy to codify an insidious and vicious Qianlong into the embodiment of the amorous son of heaven and tout his abilities, but when it comes to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they are always incompetent, absurd attacks and ridicule. Hehe, Kangxi and Qianlong are the heroes, and they have brought a huge expansion of China's land area.

Yes, since Zhu Yuanzhang, although the Ming Dynasty has gained the world, it can give up nothing else, and in terms of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, they have never been able to completely eliminate Mongolia. Is this a manifestation of incompetence?

Since everyone is a soldier, let's carefully analyze and analyze it from a military point of view.

Although the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Northern Yuan regime in Beijing and ended their occupation of our country, they really perished? Apparently not. It was a general retreat of a nomadic people, not a kind of annihilation, and not only did the Mongol cavalry retreat en masse to the steppes where they were better at surviving, and then they soon regained their fierce, wolf-like wildness. Emperor Yuan Shun, who also escaped from China, was still issuing orders to the four Mongolian khanates with the right of the "Great Yuan Emperor", concentrating on confronting the Ming Dynasty. Come to think of it, the Mongol power of that period was far more powerful than that of the Mongols faced by the Manchus later.

What about the Ming Dynasty at this time?

Zhu Yuanzhang is facing a huge mess that has been ravaged and the number of households in the country has been halved and the people are struggling to make a living. In such an environment, any king who wants to make a difference and is well versed in military strategy will first adopt a policy of external defense, that is, first consolidate the recovered rivers and mountains, curb the resurgence of the Northern Yuan forces, and concentrate time to restore production and develop the economy.

In the following time, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty adopted a series of offensive and defensive strategies, frequently attacking Mobei. Although the two sides won and lost each other on the battlefield, the series of active military strikes carried out by the Ming Dynasty in the early days according to their capacity not only did not prolong the pace of domestic economic recovery, but instead won a relatively peaceful environment for the northern region. In particular, the Ming Dynasty's guard system was painted and colored, and little by little, inconspicuously, it encroached on the land of Mongolia. As early as the Ming Dynasty in the last years of Hongwu, the northern border had already largely advanced beyond the Great Wall, and the Great Wall was only the second line of defense for the Ming Dynasty's border defense. This method of encroachment at every level will undoubtedly play a tremendous role in consolidating border defense. It was in this process that the Northern Yuan Empire gradually declined.

In fact, if a nation like ours that is good at farming wants to finally defeat the nomads, it is not enough to rely on the development of its own cavalry army. The advantage of an agrarian nation lies in our ability to produce and sustain each other. Of course, this first needs to be backed up by the unification of the country and the stability of the government. Any nation that represents the advanced productive forces, as long as there is a problem in your own internal affairs, those nomads will have no chance of victory, and sooner or later they will be vulnerable.

Now that you know our Ming history, you will not be unaware of the "great victory in fishing" back then. The battle of Lan Yutongguò, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, completely announced the final fall of the Northern Yuan Empire. The victory of this battle became a turning point in the Ming Dynasty's war against the Mongols, if the Ming Dynasty was still facing a unified Northern Yuan regime, then from then on, the Ming Dynasty's nine-sided important towns faced opponents only became some loose Mongol tribal leaders, greatly reducing the military threat from the north.

It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Mongolia at this critical stage was very successful.

Of course, it is a pity that due to Yongle's accession to the throne, moving the capital to Beijing was a pretty good thing from a military point of view, but the confused Yongle Emperor made a fatal mistake. He kindly gave Duoyan Sanwei to the Mongols, and the result of this mistake was no less than the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun during the Northern Song Dynasty. This mistake led to a series of Ming Dynasty in the northern borderlands that could be connected to each other and echo each other, and after Zhu Yuanzhang's painstaking management, a strong situation had been formed with points and areas, and the guards that could continue to advance gradually to the north have lost their effective connection with each other.

It can only be said that Yongle can be called a philanthropist, but he is definitely not a real strategist, the Ming Dynasty after the loss of Duoyan Sanwei, in the face of the Mongolian tribes that have been divided, the Wei has lost its former brilliance. The northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty could only gradually retreat to the line of the Great Wall, which eventually caused the evil consequences of the future generations of the Son of Heaven guarding the border.

This is not a question of mediocrity or not, but a warning to future generations that the so-called charity that is a façade is absolutely unacceptable. Those who are full of food and scold the cook, and those who beat the monk after reciting the sutra are not one and a half, and they have to take a basket to load.

Any dynasty has a long process from rise, to prosperity, to decline and extinction, and only in the heyday is the time when the country's territory is the largest. In the later stages, when the state declines, many of the peripheries will naturally be plundered by other, more powerful states. This matter is difficult to complete. And where is it fair to compare your prosperity with the decay of others? It's just to whitewash yourself.
