At the time of Dayuan, there were a lot of people with color eyes.

The Mongols entrusted their gold and silver to the Semu people to trade, and lent usury, which was called lamb interest, and at that time, many Han Chinese large landowners could not become officials, so they also ran to do business.

As a result, the trade became bigger and bigger, and gold and silver could not meet the supply and demand of money, and treasure money appeared.

But the lustful man and thief were shrewd, and hid all the gold and silver.

During the reign of Yuan Renzong, the economic and monetary problems of the Yuan Dynasty reached the critical point of the outbreak, at that time, because the emperor changed too frequently, every emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty had to reward and fund his own princes and nobles, and he really had no money, so he used treasure money to print millions of yuan.

Zhu Xiongying said: "Dad, I don't blame you for this, I was careless!" ”

He stood up with emotion.

"During the Tang Dynasty, many foreign merchants came to the Tang Dynasty to be officials and do business, but their goods were not allowed to be taken out of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there were laws and regulations to follow."

"At that time, the Tang Dynasty, but all the countries came to ...... court"

"Before our Ming Dynasty, because of the Northern Yuan, the trade routes with the Western Regions were blocked, and there were often wars in Shaanxi and Gansu, and in recent years, because everyone has made a lot of money, resulting in my Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have formed a tacit understanding that they will not start a war in the Western Regions, so this kind of thing will occur, let's immediately take precautions and remedy."

"But the return of foreign countries can't be let go!"

Zhu Biao said coldly: "Leave it to Jiang Zhen to do it." ”

Zhu Xiongying dared to say: "Dad, and Zheng He." ”

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zheng He and said, "Zheng He, you go with Jiang Qianhu, lead three thousand elite soldiers, bring a thousand stalks of the latest Hongwu style, and warn these Western Regions Heavenly Regions to return, either return the gold that was swept away from my Daming, or die." ”

"If you want to continue to do business in my Daming, you have to follow the rules of my Daming, the emperor's grandfather has decreed that the Mongols and the Semu people are not allowed to marry each other, and they need to intermarry with the Han people, and he will return to the ministry as well."

"Xi'an gathers in the Western Regions of Tianfang Temple, no matter how many, but anyone who disobeys the rules will always be exterminated!"

Zheng He was shocked and nodded.

After Zheng He and Jiang Zhen left, Zhu Xiongying turned around and said: "Dad, second uncle, I heard that there is a male lord named Timur in the Western Regions, who captured the Sultan of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Ilkhanate, and the Western Chagatai Khanate, and the Assman Empire was defeated and retreated by him, and the territory was wider than that of the Northern Yuan. ”

"If we start a war in the Western Regions, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate may also fall to Timur's side, so we can't be too persecuted for this Huishang, but Huihui is very pragmatic, as long as I see my butcher's knife rolling, I will naturally know what to do."

"In the Great Yuan period, Zhenhai, a Wuer businessman, was a very pragmatic return."

After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, Zhu Biao didn't have the heart to go to Shuanglu.

Yes, the situation in the Western Regions is very complicated today, and Timur, the lame wolf of a generation of male lords in Central Asia, has risen.

He had conquered most of the Asman Empire, as well as the Ilkhanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Kipchak Khanate, and even part of ancient India.

It's just that now he's busy putting down the rebellion.

In the place occupied by Timur, there were many Mongolian iron guards, such as Kipchawei and Asuwei, all of whom were from a fighting nation, and they fought very fiercely, and there were more than rebellions in the country, and Timur fought everywhere, and he did not have time to take care of the Western Chagatai Khanate.

Moreover, most of the Mongols in the Western Chagatai Khanate were Nestorian and Buddhist, supported by the Buddha-headed lamas of Tibet, and they could still stalemate with the celestial Eastern Chagatai Khanate for the time being.

If the Ming Dynasty started a war in the northwest, it would not be necessarily.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly thought of one thing, and said with a smile: "Also, Dad, we met a Tibetan Buddhist master in Beiping before, called Sanluo Lama, who wanted to restore the white pagoda of Tibetan Buddhism in Miaoying Temple, so we asked Zhou Kuan to give him 13,000 yuan, guess what?" ”

Zhu Wei asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "He persuaded three Tubo tribes to come to vote, and opened hundreds of miles of territory and trade routes for my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Good thing!"

Zhu Biao was also overjoyed.

In this era, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was still serfdom, if the head of the Tibetan people and the head of the Buddha did not nod their heads, the caravan would not be allowed to do business, and the personal safety would not be guaranteed, and the people at the bottom of the Tibetan population were not afraid of death, they were not afraid of death, and they were also very fanatical about war.

It's a pity that today's Tubo is no longer the Tang Dynasty, when the water and grass were abundant and the grain was high.

After Deng Yu led the army, swept all the way through Qinghai-Tibet and hit the Kunlun Mountain, the three largest families on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau coincidentally established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, and the lamas and Buddhas of the temples also came to pay tribute, but the Ming Dynasty chose to pull a faction to fight a faction, and the second and third forces on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as Wusizang, were co-opted and rewarded.

For the most powerful, it is deliberately ignored and treated coldly.

This is also the number of roads used by Kangxi in his previous life.

At that time, Kangxi personally built the Outer Eight Temples, and also sealed a new living Buddha to Mengdi, which was used to win over the Buddha head in Qinghai, so that the Buddha head in Qinghai and the Buddha head in Tibet did not deal with each other, and the Qing Dynasty was drawn together on both sides.

In this era, if the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the Hexi Corridor and return to the Western Regions, it has to bring back the Buddha-headed lamas of Qinghai and Tibet, as well as the gang of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, as well as Gansu and Qinghai, a huge number of people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism, as well as this part of Nestorian Christianity.

Most of these people are of Tibetan and Western Xia descent, and they are naturally close to the Buddha-headed lamas of Qinghai and Tibet.

Zhu Biao finally smiled and said, "Then canonize this Sanluo Lama as the White Elephant Master, and reward him more for the temple in Xi." ”

"The Eastern Chagatai Khanate, because of the death of the Great Khan and the internal strife among the domestic ministers, we can also win over one or two, at least we can't let them fall to Timur completely......"

"It's not just that, the Virat Mongols on the side of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate are very powerful, so let's be careful."

Zhu Xiongying said.

In the previous life, Zhu Baozong, a descendant of Zhu Ming's royal family, was first disabled by the Taishi of the Verat Mongols, and after the fourth uncle Zhu Di was martyred in the previous life, he conquered the Northern Yuan five times, and basically crippled and destroyed the more powerful forces in southern Mongolia, and then rewarded the Mongolian tribes further north, and won them over to fight the Northern Yuan Mongolian tribes in Monan, and as a result, the Verat Mongols in Mobei were cheaper......

Wolf raising tactics, or not.

"Dad, we still need to do a lot of work, and we still need to maintain our health......"

Zhu Xiongying sighed.

To tell the truth, the Mongolian tribes, the steppe peoples, are really too capable of fighting, because of the Ming Dynasty, they raised Warat, the time and space in the previous life, to the Qing Dynasty a few hundred years later, it took nearly one hundred and fifty years to solve the powerful combat power of the steppe peoples.

Even the old Maozi of Tsarist Russia has repeatedly suffered under the hands of the Dzungar Great Khan, a descendant of the Mongols in Virat, Kazakhstan has been repeatedly rubbed by the Dzungars, Central Asia and West Asia are all hanging, and the Dzungars at their peak even captured the Swedes to help them cast shells and command artillery.

At this time and space, if the Ming Dynasty wants to return to the Western Regions, there are two ways.

First, build a powerful cavalry unit that is the world's first-class, and like the Mongols, they will feed the war with war and crush the past.

However, the countries of the Western Regions, especially the Timurid Empire at this time, were at the peak of medieval cavalry tactics, and they also began to use artillery and firearms in large quantities, inheriting the cavalry tactics of the Mongols, which was not bad.

In the history of the Western world, the Timurid Empire is referred to as the Second Mongol Empire, because Timur was once the son-in-law of the Golden Family, and he himself had great ambitions to build a powerful empire across the East and the West.

If the Ming Dynasty returned to the Western Regions, if it did not have a good relationship with the Mongolian tribes in the west and the Buddha-headed lamas in Qinghai and Tibet, and opened up the logistics supply line, it would be a fool's dream.

In the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, at the peak of the Kangxi Dynasty, when Khalkha Mongolia was the base camp, there were only about 20,000 elite soldiers who could be sent to the Western Regions, and they were sent in batches.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to recover Hexi and the Western Regions, those Tubo tribes along the way would not be stable, and they would only become rootless water when they entered the Western Regions, unable to achieve domination, and would soon fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

The right time, place and people are indispensable!

Zhu Xiongying is actually inclined to the second method in his heart, to take good care of the Ming Dynasty, shrink the front, diligently repair internal affairs for decades, and before having an absolute equipment generation gap and an economic crushing situation, he will extensively repair the pass and shrink into the pass.

At the very least, there must be a lathe that can press rifled steel pipes to make breech guns, and then with lathes, machine guns can be developed, or multiple rifles, and then mortars can be developed, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to target the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties, which has been occupied for a long time.

Health, I still need health......

If the Ming Dynasty follows Zhu Xiongying's "Centennial Plan for the Emperor's Political Program" and completes the six five-year plans in another 30 years, there will be a chance to realize it.

Thirty years, I, Zhu Xiongying, can afford to wait.

Da Ming can afford to wait.

Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and they can go hand in hand without conflict.

Today's Ming generals are gathered, and the famous generals who are still alive in the world, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, Mu Ying, etc., are all first-class generals who have been fighting with the Mongolian cavalry for a long time, familiar with cavalry tactics, and Han artillery tactics.

To recover the Northern Yuan and Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty needed at least 20 million silver dollars.

The recovery of the Western Regions, Zhu Xiongying roughly calculated an account, the recovery plus logistics, as well as the soft output construction over the years, at least 50 million silver dollars are needed, which is still less, not counting the time required for the research and development of weapons and equipment, the cost of economic personnel training, etc.......

I only hope that after my uncle Lan Yu comes to Xi'an, he will be able to stabilize my Ming Dynasty.

"Dad, we have to sum it up, the reward for the Buddha-headed lamas of Tubo Qinghuang is too important."

Zhu Xiongying said his thoughts.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he squinted and smiled: "Xiongying, your method is a little conservative." ”

"Our Ninghe King Deng Yu can lead the division into Tubo and fight straight to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, you are so conservative, do you have no confidence in your uncle Yongchang Hou?"

"Guan Long is a treasure land for sending troops and planting materials."

"Give your uncle two years, by the twentieth year of Hongwu, when the first five-year plan of my Ming Dynasty is completed, he should have trained a hundred battles elite cavalry in Shaanxi and Gansu, and he will not be weaker than any of our Ming Dynasty's old battalions, rest assured!"
