On the grassland of Monan, He Qiu raised his eyes and saw exactly what he expected'The wind blows early and sees cattle and sheep'.

The grass is colored to the sky, as far as the eye can see, as if you can see the scene more than ten miles away at a glance, and the heaven and earth are included in the chest to make people feel proud.

He Qiu only felt a sense of ease, but the wind and sand that blew on his face and hit his cheeks hurt pulled He Qiu back from his fantasy.

This wind and sand is naturally not as good as the sandstorms in the later generations, but it is enough to make He Qiu feel a little vigilant.

He Qiu knew that the Qingchu technology he had come up with was to change the Mongols on the grassland from nomadic herding to fixed herding, so that they could raise more livestock.

However, it has also brought huge pressure to the environment, and some people in the Guannei have been relocated to the Daning line to reclaim land, which has also brought irreversible effects on the environment of the grassland.

You must know that Monan and Monan mean that this grassland is in the south of a big Gobi, and the north is the big desert.

The environment of the grassland is different from many places in the Central Plains, and a piece of grassland is eaten by cattle and sheep, and it may never recover.

Today, there is no special pasture grass on the grassland, most of them are just weeds.

Although alfalfa was introduced into the Central Plains in the Western Han Dynasty, most of them were used as medicinal herbs or food, and there was really no serious use of them as feed for livestock.

He Qiu's heart couldn't help but feel heavy, and he was also worried that with the deepening of the Ming Dynasty's control over Mongolia, would it make the Mongolian steppe desertified early.

In feudal society, once the grassland is desertified, it is not like a modern society, and it is possible to return farmland to grassland and control sandy land, but the desert can only be allowed to expand.

Maybe it will affect Kannai at that time.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's focus was not on the problem of wind and sand, he noticed that along the way, there were many places where farmland had been reclaimed by the Han people.

This is of course a good thing, it can strengthen the Ming rule over the steppe, but in this way, it will fight with the Mongols for land again.

I am afraid that many Mongolian and Han contradictions also arose from this, just like in the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols abolished all the good land in the Central Plains and used it for grazing, which could not have caused the local Han people to resist.

What's more, now the Mongols are not defeated, they still have their own strength, if because of such a thing, the grassland is unstable, Du Daming is also a headache.

Zhu Yuanzhang only knew from the music that the situation in Daning and even outside the Guanxi was very good, and many people spontaneously went there to cultivate, and he did not consider whether it would aggravate the contradiction between Mongolia and Han.

On this trip, he can be regarded as seeing the real Guanwai.

But what to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little hesitant, it was impossible to cut it all and let the Han people no longer reclaim outside the pass, in the final analysis, the Mongols were the defeated side, why let the Ming give in?

But if this continues, maybe if we can't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to die, the contradictions between the two sides will accumulate deeper and deeper, and the trend of the Mongols going south will be formed again.

The current north is no better than when Zhu Yuanzhang went on the Northern Expedition, the north was broken at the beginning, and it didn't matter how fierce the fight was on that land, it couldn't damage the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the north has slowly recovered, and so many bottles and cans, if they are destroyed by the Mongols going south, it is definitely not a good thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt embarrassed for a while, but in the end, he could only give an order to let the border troops everywhere strengthen their vigilance.

This matter still needs to be discussed with Zhu Di and other ministers after he returns to the court.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's team slowly moved north, the wind and sand became bigger and bigger, and when they arrived near Daning City, it was already full of yellow sand, which made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed a few times, and asked King Ning, who was driving outside, to come in and ask.

"Is this often the case here in Daning?"

King Ning replied.

"It's not like this all the time, it's just that at the turn of spring and summer, the wind and sand are a little bigger."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at King Ning, whose skin had become rough from the wind and sand, and also felt a little emotional.

"It's just bitter for you."

When King Ning heard this, tears were almost about to fall.

"Erchen guards the land for the Ming Dynasty, why do you have to work hard? Aren't the second and fourth brothers like this before? ”

"Okay, it's really my good son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted King Ning's shoulder heavily, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

Daning City, as a fortress built later, although it is not very majestic, but it is also quite strong, after all, it is nailed far away outside the fortress, once the Mongols change, it will be the front line.

Outside the city of Daning, there is a lot of arable land, which was moved with the immigrants of the imperial court, and Zhu Yuanzhang can still see a lot of caravans coming and going outside the city.

This is probably one of the reasons why Daning has been able to develop in such a short period of time.

In fact, when it comes to the geographical location of Daning, it can only be said that it is a battleground for soldiers.

To the south, you can go to Beiping, to the east it connects with Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, and to the west you can pass through Kaiping and Ningxia and other places to connect together.

Sitting in the grassland, remote control of Mongolia's movements, especially with the cement road from Beiping to Daning, it has a closer connection with Beiping, which is more conducive to its role as a nail.

There are more than 80,000 troops stationed in Daning, some of which are the guards of King Ning, and the other part is the Mongols who surrendered.

This is also considering that Daning's location is too important, and it is difficult to control the grassland with fewer troops.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is a little wary of these three guards and horses, not my race, their hearts must be different, Zhu Yuanzhang understands better than anyone else.

The barbarians on the grassland, all of them have milk and mothers, especially they once had the glory of Mengyuan, and it would be unrealistic to expect them to honestly obey the orders of the imperial court.

The reason why he surrendered now is only because of the great power of the Ming Dynasty, once the Ming Dynasty shows a little decline, or other large tribal forces rise on the grassland, maybe Duoyan Sanwei will be the first to bite the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang took King Ning's hand, followed by Zhu Gaochi, and slowly came to the city of Daning, he wanted to take a good look at this important town of the Ming Dynasty, and even more to knock down the Mongolian nobles in the city.

He Qiu also knows Daning City very well, and when he expanded Daning City, he made a lot of suggestions, and they were all accepted one by one, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked He Qiu to explain to him on the side.

As soon as he entered Daning City, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt the difference between Daning and other cities in Daming, there was a large area of open space in the city, and asked a little strangely.

"What's going on with these vacant lots?"

He Qiu stood on the side and explained to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"After all, Daning is here in Monan, and there is a vast amount of snow in winter, which is easy to form a white disaster. Once there is a white plague, ordinary herdsmen will suffer great losses, and people and animals will be buried in the snow together, frozen to death in the snow. ”

"So when Daning was expanding, the minister proposed to level a lot of vacant land in the city, which was specially used for the tribes near Daning to spend the winter.

The Mongolian nobleman who followed on the side hurriedly said in a somewhat stiff Chinese dialect.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, this is really a great virtue for our herdsmen on the grassland!"
