Peiping.

Comprehensive large field.

Winter Bamboo Ball Finals.

Several factory teams in Shanxi and Shaanxi have been eliminated, and the newly built bamboo teams in Shandong and Henan have not even entered the top 16.

Now the first prize competition on the field is the bamboo team of the China Heavy Industry Headquarters Factory and the bamboo team of the Miyun Division.

Gambling houses are prohibited among the people of Beiping, but the ball gambling of bamboo ball plugs is contracted to commercial houses, plus tickets.

It can be said that the construction cost of the Beiping Comprehensive Field, at today's profit rate, will be able to recover the cost in less than three years.

As the only outdoor venue in the north that can accommodate 200,000 people, it can be said that the events held here every year have flourished.

The finals of the Keju competition, the finals of the bamboo ball competition, various competitions in the army, and even the school league have begun to be hosted here, as well as the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Ministry of Workers' Unions protects the rights and interests of workers.

The military households under the large well system relied on various agricultural machines to have more leisure time.

Coupled with the well-developed railway system in the northern parallel province, more and more people are watching the event, and even there is a phenomenon that it is difficult to get a ticket.

There is also a reform of schools.

The enthusiasm of the students for the event was even more intense than that of the adults.

"The general force is mighty."

"The Miyun team is mighty!"

A sea of people.

"Knock knock."

"Total Troops."

"Mighty."

"Knock knock."

"Total Troops."

"Victory!"

After all, it is the home field, and the spectators who seem to be inspired by the China Heavy Industry General Force far exceed the Miyun Division.

Not to be outdone, workers from the Miyun sub-district held banners high.

"The Miyun division team will never lag behind."

The spectators on both sides shouted at the venue, and the whole square was boiling incomparably, bursting like an oil pot.

Beiping, which is already cold, can't stop the surging of people's hearts.

The people in thick cotton clothes, some even took off their coats, sweating profusely, no easier than the participating teams.

Shami Chagan sat excitedly in the audience.

The last time he was in a private room, this time he chose to be in the audience.

The atmosphere of the scene was stimulating, and he couldn't wait to shout.

But he didn't know who to cheer for, and the excitement in his heart couldn't wait for him to beat his chest, "Yili also wants to form a bamboo team." ”

He said through a secret gritted tooth.

But looking around, he couldn't help but get frustrated.

Yili is not Beiping.

"Whoa."

"Knock knock."

A group of children in school uniforms, who brought in school instruments and blew them in the audience.

Hundreds of middle school students here will enter the third year of high school next year, which is what people call their graduation year.

Most people are about to enter society.

They are blooming their youth to the fullest, and they are the teenagers who came out of the campus.

They can do arithmetic, they can write articles, they can ride horses, they know how to wield birds, they can draw bows, they have visited factories, they have been to mines, they have been to outdoor tours, and they have swept the streets of the city.

Although their campus life is hard, it is very fulfilling and has a lot of joy.

"Whoa."

They pulled their necks and sang into the middle of the arena.

"Whoa."

"Whoa."

"Whoa, whoa."

"Male into the ...... Male into male in. ”

……

The whole stadium of gongs and drums rang out in unison, and the shouts shook the sky.

Sha Michagan couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped up, anyway, he shouted vigorously, and followed the surrounding audience to encourage the China Heavy Industry General Army.

on the field.

None of the players in the competition wore cotton clothes, they only wore single clothes and bamboo armor armor.

Everyone felt the heat, and they didn't feel the cold at all.

"Shh~"

The bamboo whistle sounded.

In the shouts of the spectators, no one retreated, viciously pounced on the bamboo ball.

Finally.

A man held a bamboo ball, bent over and leaned forward, running forward with all his strength, and one person after another came to pull him.

Like the most majestic beast, throwing off one big hand after another.

"Oh!"

"Mighty!"

In the roar of the people who jumped up, it was like riding a thousand and pouring the bamboo ball into the opponent's bamboo basket.

"Knock knock."

"Knock knock."

The whole field exploded.

Like the people around him, Shami Chagan slapped his hands on the railing and yelled at the scorer.

The hands were red.

"Bang bang."

"Bang bang."

The sound of people banging on the railing soon formed a rhythmic sound.

Shami Chagan has forgotten Yili Li.

Now.

All he could think about was the present.

……

Shizifu.

Chen Cheng was in front of Jin Zhong, Ge Cheng, Chen Heng and others to dissuade Zhu Gaochi's intention to mobilize troops.

"Do not be angry with the Lord."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but touch his nose.

Chen Cheng's intentions, in fact, Zhu Gaochi understands very well.

It's barren.

Even if there is a railway now, the army can directly reach the original Shanxi Xingdu Division, whether it is the supply of manpower and material resources reduced by a hundredfold.

The army can directly use Jiayuguan as a logistical supply point, and enter Yili through Hamiwei, but for what.

"Today's cutting is to make a wedding dress for others, it is better to use both grace and power, and think that it is the best policy for the vassal country."

Chen Cheng insisted.

What does that mean.

Today's offense is also strong, but it has benefited the surrounding forces and given them the opportunity to become bigger.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi also knows.

Historically, these problems have been resolved, not because of how strong the Qing Dynasty was in terms of military force.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the military might was not said to be stronger than the Qing Dynasty, but it was definitely not weaker than the Qing Dynasty.

Not only did Hamiwei submit to obedience, but also tried to call Li the same minister, and even the Timurid Empire in Central Asia and West Asia was called a vassal, and he was willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

The wars in these areas in the early Ming Dynasty were not like the Qing Dynasty that used the power of the whole country, and the emperor had to go out in person.

It was also a victory, why did the Ming Dynasty lose these places a hundred years later, but the Qing Dynasty did not have a hundred years later.

Because the Rakshasa and Saxon kingdoms are coming.

One came from the east and swept away the divisions, and the other came from the south and colonized the Mughals, as if overnight, the vast strategic space was gone.

What does that mean.

There will never again be the death of this force, and a new force will migrate from afar, becoming a supply for the new force.

On the contrary, because of the invasion of the Rakshasa and Saxon kingdoms, these regions had to be firmly attached to the Central Plains Dynasty to maintain.

Basically everyone knows how much strategic space is meaningful.

So after being entangled with the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years in the grasslands and deserts, suddenly the problems calmed down.

A thousand years ago, Turkey, which could even run more than 10,000 miles away, will be trapped in the future and have nowhere to run.

The only way to deal with agricultural civilization is that the strategic space is gone, and of course it will be honest.

The ancients were not stupid in their experience with these things.

Yao Guangxiao was also there, and when he returned from the capital, he did not support the revival of the army.

"The arrangement of the saints in the Western Regions, besieged layer by layer, only then did today's Hami besiege, and then used Hami to hold Yili hostage, and then threatened Timur with Yili Li."

"Only by not letting any of them become bigger, nor letting any of them lose their coercion, can we have the stability of today's western region."

"It's easy to raise troops, but if it upsets the balance on the ground, it will plunge the west into chaos."

What Yao Guangxiao said is the way of the old way.

But Zhu Gaochi also has some different views.

"Human nature is afraid of power and not morality, and just educating with virtue may not only fail to convince the public, but also attract malice."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Now that the strength of our new army is far greater than that of the old army, we must let the world know that our military might can we be truly educated." ”

Chen Cheng on the side smiled.

"The military power of my Ming Dynasty, even if there is no new army, is the strongest in the world, so that all countries are subjugated today, and the countries thousands of miles away are also afraid of it, and take the initiative to send envoys to my Ming Dynasty to pay tribute."

"Yili put the black son of the fire, there is the threat of Timur outside, and there are various forces inside who are not convinced, and he has always been obedient to me, so the force that sneaked up on the construction site must not be him."

"If it's not a black firefighter, it means that someone wants to take advantage of my Daming, so I must be severely punished."

Chen Heng was unwilling to give up, and said viciously: "Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." ”

The new army was built for several years.

New equipment has also been replaced from generation to generation.

Arsenals were very supportive of the war, and many businessmen were also supportive.

A high-intensity army is nothing to train in the camp every day.

How can you make a contribution without fighting.

Chen Heng looked at Chen Cheng viciously, thinking that this person had a narrow vision, but he was just a petty official.

Chen Cheng is indeed a petty official.

But Zhu Gaochi is very important to this person.

Chen Cheng was a well-known diplomat in the early Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He's seven trips to the West are well known, but Chen Cheng sent an envoy to Annan and five trips to Yangguan.

Climbing snow-capped mountains, crossing jungles, walking the Gobi, and trekking tens of thousands of miles also played a huge role in stabilizing the Western Regions and reopening the Silk Road for the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, it pursued a diplomatic strategy of ignoring the countries of the Western Regions, and since then all sides have been converted to morality, and no labor has been levied and issued on three sides.

It was not only praised by later scholars as not weaker than Zheng He's, but also praised by many foreign scholars, such as the former Soviet historian Vladimir. Zoff hailed Chen Cheng as the most outstanding diplomatic envoy of the fifteenth century.

But now Chen Cheng, although he has been an envoy to the Western Regions and has played a great role in the establishment of Andingwei, Qu Xianwei, and Aduanwei, is indeed only a petty official of the seventh grade.

Zhu Gaochi hopes that the more talents like Chen Cheng, the better.

Therefore, in the construction of the Western Regions Province, foreign affairs were entrusted to this person, and a group of talents with diplomatic talents were trained by this person.

"Yili Rangli can become an area for growing cotton, and this year more and more businessmen are going to Yili Lane to purchase cotton."

"The use of force is the last resort, and compared with the cotton trade that has arisen in Yili, his subordinates think that the use of force is the next resort."

"The Han population is insufficient in Yili, and only the locals can meet the cotton planting population."

"And war only leaves hatred, it takes decades to heal the wound, and it is even more detrimental to commerce."

"Then kill all those who don't obey."

Chen Heng disagreed.

Zhu Gaochi groaned.

Killing all those who refuse to accept it is indeed a means.

Didn't the Qing Dynasty kill all the people who did not obey, not only the mainland, but also Yili Jiangli, which ruled for hundreds of years.

But Zhu Gaochi thinks more long-term.

Compared with Yili Li, Zhu Gaochi wants to spend his energy in the New World, rather than wasting it in Yili.

Therefore, Chen Cheng's suggestion is also the best policy.

Relying on the rise of the cotton trade, the restoration of the Western Regions trade circle can not only stabilize the locality, but also bring benefits.

If you use force, you will be cleared.

The population of the north is already insufficient, and as for the population of the south, Zhu Gaochi has no plan to use it to emigrate to barren lands.

Otherwise, it's not just big people who oppose their own voices.

The surplus population in the south will be forcibly transported to the rich plains by him in the future, and everyone will become big landowners.

Let them love and hate.

How much you hate yourself at the beginning, how much you love yourself later.
