Chapter 318: The Song Dynasty's Poison
Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has any interest in governance, what he is more willing to do now is to cultivate Zhu Gaochi, as long as the three generations of Ming ancestors and grandchildren are Mingjun, then Zhu Yuanzhang will die without regrets.
Throughout the dynasties, as long as the start is good, it can often last for more than two hundred years, as for the emperors in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang is not an immortal, and he can't control it.
After admiring the Beihai of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stay in Beihai for long.
After all, safety comes first, and Zhu Yuanzhang is already very satisfied with being able to run out to see Beihai.
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to Longcheng directly, and then led the army all the way west, intending to return to Daming.
Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang also passed through Yanran Mountain, and the entire Yanran Mountain area has long lived up to the vastness of the Han Dynasty and has become a barren mountain, but the inscription of the champion Hou Le Shi Yanran is still there.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stayed for a while, let the Hanlin around him write a commemorative, and carved a new chapter on the side of the Han Dynasty inscription.
This can be regarded as a kind of respect for him Zhu Yuanzhang for Han Wu and Wei Huo.
Only after the Tartars are truly expelled can we know how brilliant the Han Wu and Wei Huo martial arts were back then!
After walking through Yanran Mountain, the army turned to the southwest, and if you go further, you will come to the northwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang and they chose the first line of Juyanze in the Han Dynasty, which was also a location where the dispute between Han and Hungary was quite fierce.
It's a pity that the vicissitudes of life.
In the Han Dynasty, the grassland was still abundant, and the grassland, which raised countless Huns, has become a desert.
From Yanran Mountain to Juyanze, all the way is more than 1,000 miles, all of which are Gobi Desert and the environment is harsh.
Although He Qiu didn't know much about the history of the Han Dynasty, he also vaguely remembered that there were several large lakes in the Juyanze area of the Han Dynasty.
But now what catches your eye is all desert, which can't help but make He Qiu feel frightened.
Now that Daming is also on the grassland, there are reclamation actions, who can guarantee that Daming will not let a new grassland become a desert?
But in this case, it should not be said by him, and it cannot be said by him.
Allowing the grasslands to graze is equivalent to giving up the grasslands to the Mongols, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that, is it just watching the grasslands in the north of the Ming Dynasty become desertified step by step?
He Qiu was a little confused, and even more frustrated, if it was still in the feudal era, the desertification of the land could not be solved.
Recognizing this reality, He Qiu was a little depressed.
Zhu Yuanzhang's marching team came to Yinaiji step by step, and the Mongolians here looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and his party vigilantly.
Lan Yu hurriedly explained to Zhu Yuanzhang that Yi Naiji was Ju Yanze of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but now it was occupied by the Mongols.
And the Mongols here have never been very obedient to the Ming Dynasty, and it was only because they had an agreement with them before that they were willing to let the Ming Emperor's imperial palace supply here.
If it weren't for that, it would have been a fight with the Ming army a long time ago.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but he also knew that it was not so easy to convince the Mongols.
What's more, today's Ju Yanze is no longer the old view of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there is no need to pay too much attention to these people.
Of course, this is because Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that it was these Warat people who made the Ming Dynasty suffer a big loss in history, and the change of the civil fort almost swept away all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
Since then, the Ming Dynasty has gone forever on the road of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts.
However, this situation should not occur in today's Daming.
He Qiu took this opportunity to come to Zhu Gaochi's ear and instill in him the importance of environmental protection.
"Do you know when Ju Yanze, and even the entire Northwest, became what it is today?"
Zhu Gaochi shook his head, he knew this.
"It's in the Song Dynasty!"
"During the Han and Tang dynasties, the entire northwest region was still rich in water and grass, and the big trees were towering. However, because of the war between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty that lasted for more than 100 years, the entire northwest was ruined. ”
The dissatisfaction with the Song Dynasty in He Qiu's words was about to overflow.
Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled, he knew that He Qiu had always disliked the Song Dynasty, and even thought that this was a separatist regime that could not represent the Central Plains, but he couldn't put such a big hat on the Song Dynasty, right?
"Brother-in-law, are you saying too much?"
"Ever? Not an exaggeration at all!
Have you noticed what happens to the grasslands after each of our marches? ”
"Well, I didn't pay attention."
"The grass on the grassland will disappear, and this is still when we bring enough soybean meal and fodder. If it was the posture of the Song and Xia countries fighting each other for many years, how could there be so much grass for their horses to eat! ”
"What's more, in a war, you always have to repair siege equipment, right? The defender also needs wood to make a shield and a trebuchet, right? In this way, the giant trees in the northwest have been cut down, and they can no longer recover their vitality, and the Song Dynasty is really a dynasty that misled the country and the people! ”
Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was still a little unconvinced, He Qiu said with a smile.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to Liang Guogong or His Majesty to ask, they all have many years of experience in warfare, and they won't lie to you."
Zhu Gaochi ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp with a stomach full of questions, thinking that he was going to consult Zhu Yuanzhang.
In fact, He Qiu really didn't say nonsense, the sudden deterioration of the environment in the northwest was really inseparable from the Song Dynasty.
It is the flooding of the Yellow River, from the mother river of the Central Plains, to a river that costs human life, and it is also the pot of the Song Dynasty.
Not to mention the dispute over whether the Yellow River should flow north or east, the three easy return to the river were created, resulting in the infinite expansion of the Yellow Plain.
Later, there was a villain, Du Chong, who became a good example of Mr. Kongyige, replacing soldiers with water, in a vain attempt to pout the Yellow River embankment, flooding the Jin soldiers, and making the Yellow River completely out of control.
The subsequent Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties renovated the Yellow River waterway, which can only be said to have acted as the backstabbing of the Song Dynasty.
These bureaucrats of the Northern Song Dynasty, if they have one thing to say, they all deserve to die, and the strange thinking of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty is also incomprehensible, and the Song Dynasty will definitely be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.
Even if you don't mention the Yellow River, the deterioration of the environment in Juyanze today is indeed the result of the cutting down of large trees in the northwest region.
Since there are no big trees in the northwest, of course, the water and soil are not well maintained, and the main source of water in Juyanze is the snow water of Helan Mountain.
Now that the entire northwest has become arid, how can Helan Mountain and Juyanze escape this cycle?
As soon as there is less water in Juyanze, the surrounding grassland will naturally shrink, and in the end, it will even slowly disappear into the vast desert.
Now Juyanze is fine, and he can still graze, but it is no longer a good pasture.
If Juyanze in the Han and Tang Dynasties was a frontier land, now Juyanze outside the Ming Frontier can only be said to be pearls in the desert.
It looks beautiful, but it's actually extremely fragile.
Because of this, it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to stay in Juyanze for too long, if the 100,000 troops are really stationed here for a period of time, I am afraid that the environment in Juyanze will deteriorate again.
The Mongols will take their resentment out of the Ming Dynasty.
