Chapter 77: Civil Fort and Northern Strategy (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
The three Zhu Zhanji, who were suddenly named, all raised their heads sharply in an instant.
The stunned eyes seemed to say: When I made him back then, I didn't expect him to be so wasteful, and I can be blamed for this?
And Sun's appearance is so smart, and his kung fu is so good, he can't help it!
Lao Zhu, three Zhu Di, three Zhu Gaochi, as well as Ah Biao, and five auditors, their eyes all fell on Zhu Zhanji's body in an instant, especially these Zhu Zhanji's fathers and grandfathers, there was a sharp chill in their eyes.
Because of the revelation of the identity of Zhu Qizhen's Ming God of War, the three Zhu Zhanji have been unable to raise their heads among the princes of heaven.
It is said that Lao Tzu is a hero, and the tiger father has no dog, but he Zhu Zhanji didn't make up for it.
"Yao Guangxiao, listen carefully, the answer you are looking for is in what I am going to talk about next."
Ji Boying glanced at Dao Yan, Dao Yan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
Then he raised his hand, and Lianxiang was obedient and presented the pen.
The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the pen walks the silver snake.
"Northern Strategy"
Ji Boying wrote these four big characters on this rice paper.
"The strategic change of the Ming Dynasty to the north is inseparable from the change of Tumubao."
"First of all, let's focus on the northern strategy during the Hongwu period."
When the words fell, Lao Zhu subconsciously straightened his body, he had worked hard for the stall in the north all these years.
"At the beginning of the founding of the country, Lao Zhu's enthronement and sacrifice to heaven was very clear in the edict, a sentence of 'the mandate of heaven in the desert into the Central Plains', is to say that the Ming Dynasty recognized the Yuan Dynasty to be granted the mandate of heaven, but also to say that the Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty legal system, not the Song Dynasty, the reason is very simple, because only by admitting that the inheritance is the Yuan Dynasty legal system, the Ming Dynasty can inherit the Yuan Dynasty's hegemonic position in the East Asian order, in the name of the Mandate of Heaven, justifiably recover the grassland, and then restore the glory of the Han Dynasty as a Han dynasty."
Listening to these words, Lao Zhu's mood was surging.
The Ming Dynasty he expects is to be admired by all countries and sung for future generations like the strong Han and Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, many people did suggest that Lao Zhu should leave the Yuan Dynasty and directly inherit the legal system of the Song Dynasty.
To be honest, Lao Zhu also thought about it at that time, after all, the Yuan Dynasty was a group of aliens in Lao Zhu's eyes, but he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so he asked Liu Bowen at that time about this matter.
The reason is simple, he doesn't want to be the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Hongwu more than 30 years, a total of thirteen northern expeditions, Mongolia was directly dispersed, and then the Ming Dynasty established a large number of military garrisons outside the Great Wall, like sharp knives straight into the hinterland of the grassland, and then in the northern defense line to seal the nine Saiwang garrison, with the king of the Sai plus the military garrison, there are these two sets of border defense systems in the north of the Ming Dynasty, enough to make the Ming border as stable as an old dog."
"Even the forces of the Ming Dynasty can cross the Great Wall and gradually encroach on the territory of the Mongols, and continue to operate in this way, which is enough to achieve the set goal of allowing the Ming Dynasty to replace the Yuan Dynasty and become the hegemon of East Asia again and control the order of East Asia."
Lao Zhu nodded frequently when he listened, and was very satisfied with his majesty.
It doesn't matter if he thought that way before, but from this moment on, that's what he thinks.
"Just."
Ji Boying's words changed, and his eyes fell on Zhu Laosi and Zhu Di.
"During the Jianwen period, in order to prevent other vassal kings who held military power from reappearing in the state of Jingjing, all the vassal kings in charge of the army were stripped of their military power and transferred out of Saidi, thus breaking the system of Saiwang guarding the border set by Hongwu Nian."
"The border lost the vassal king who commanded the army, and the guards scattered outside the Great Wall could not get a unified order, so naturally they could not withstand the Mongol invasion, so the guards outside the Great Wall began to move to the vicinity of the Great Wall one after another, or even directly abolished."
"In this way, the sharp knife that went straight into the hinterland of the grassland was also taken back, and the two sets of border defense systems set by Hong Wunian were completely broken."
Words, speaking of which.
Zhu Laosi and Lao Zhu Di, their eyes were dodgy, and they didn't dare to look directly at Lao Zhu, after all, they belonged to the people directly responsible.
"Hmph."
Lao Zhu snorted coldly, these two Zhu Di were all shivering, but Xiao Zhu Si was happy, he didn't even have a domain now anyway, and it didn't matter to him.
"The two sets of border defense systems that Taizu painstakingly managed have all been scrapped."
"But the Mongols are still there."
"So."
Ji Boying's gaze fell on Lao Zhu Di's body.
"Emperor Yongle rolled up his sleeves and decided to personally set up a new northern border defense system."
"That is, the Son of Heaven guards the country."
"Mongolia, which had already been dispersed, under the northern expedition of Emperor Yongle, directly turned from a down-and-out nobleman to a beggar, and all the tribes of the steppe expressed their submission to the Ming Dynasty and began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty."
"Since then, the steppe tribes have been officially incorporated into the tributary system of the Ming Dynasty."
"Northern Yuan Mongolia split into Tatar, Warat, Uliangha, these three forces, if there is a sign of resurgence, then the Ming will beat whom, who has a tendency to decline, then reach out to pull a hand, such an offshore balance strategy, coupled with the Timurid Empire near the steppe are close to the Ming Dynasty, so that Mongolia is even more isolated, and always ensure that the Ming Dynasty is in a position above the grassland."
"The northern strategy during the Yongle period can be summed up in one sentence: the Son of Heaven guards the country, suppresses the strong and helps the weak, and whoever is strong beats whom."
Old Zhu Di took a deep breath and nodded approvingly.
In his time, after two northern expeditions, Wuliangha has basically become the dog of the Ming Dynasty, and Warat and Tatar, if anyone dares to bother to raise their heads, they will have to be beaten, and all the departments of the grassland have to obediently pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and kneel to sing conquest to the father of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as Dad was happy, he would enjoy something to eat.
Those who are obedient will have food, and those who are disobedient will not only have no food to eat, but will also be beaten.
This is the status quo of the grassland during the Yongle period, the Mongols lived extremely hard, and lived on the Ming Dynasty.
"After two generations of Hongwu and Yongle, all parts of the grassland are basically stable."
"But."
"When it came to the Xuande Dynasty, everything changed."
At this point, Emperor Xuande's neck shrank, like a king who had only made a mistake.
