Balth widens the mountain.

Ghost Li Chi Khan took the meeting by surprise and did not follow the rules, took advantage of the conference to poison Anke Timur, and led the army to attack the leaderless city of Hami.

No one from the surrounding seven cities came to support Tokhtar, and Tokhtar scolded the people for their treachery, and finally led nearly 100 horsemen to rush out.

Unwilling to let Tokh go, the Ghost Force Red Khan sent cavalry to hunt him down.

Instead of running west, Tokhkhtar chose to run east, arriving first at Haramuti, the lord of the city of Haramuti, the leader of whom had surrendered to Ankh Timur.

Instead of getting in, he rushed out of the city with a line of cavalry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tokhoff immediately led dozens of cavalry in his hand to beat his horse and galloped, and the other party chased for a while and did not chase any further.

The last hope is the Hami Great Chimney Pier, where there are several tribes, although they have received Tokhtar and his party, they are unwilling to send troops for him.

Tokhtar knew that the general trend had gone, and he was worried that the ghost power and red sweat would catch up, so he could only defect to Jiayuguan.

If you defect to Daming, you can still have a way to live, and if you defect to other forces, there will be no scum left that will be swallowed in the end, and you will know your situation clearly.

Jiayuguan.

"As long as the Metropolitan Governor helps me expel the Ghost Power Red Khan and help me take Hami City, Hami can accept the Ming army garrison in the future."

Detachment out of the condition.

Zhu Neng smiled and shook his head.

I still can't see the situation clearly.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not what it used to be, it has already undergone radical changes, and its combat effectiveness is not the same.

Don't say anything else.

The new army in their hands is training and screaming, calling every day to make meritorious contributions, and when they have the opportunity to fight, where do they need to get rid of it.

"More than ten years ago, your uncle resisted the Ming Dynasty and was punished by our old Song general, so frightened that he didn't even want the city, and fled thousands of miles west."

"Later, your uncle wanted to return to Hami, and sent an envoy to contact my Ming court, and took the initiative to say that he was willing to return to the Ming Dynasty and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."

Listening to Zhu Neng's words, his face became ugly.

He's not stupid.

Daming's strength has developed rapidly, and his appetite has naturally changed, and he will no longer make profits as happily as before.

"Considering the stability of Hami, my court agreed to your uncle's return to Hami, so that there has been peace in Hami for more than ten years and the peace of the local people."

"Our family has been loyal to Daming for generations." Tokhtar did his best.

There are tens of thousands of new troops in the Western Regions Province.

The combat effectiveness of the new army, Tokhtar knows very well how strong it is.

As long as Zhu Neng in front of him is willing to send troops to recapture Hami City from the hands of the ghost force Red Khan, then he can still be the city lord of Hami.

Zhu Neng didn't say any more.

"You stay in Jiayuguan, the specific affairs, wait for the ideas of the domestic court."

"Governor."

Detachment was in front of Zhu Neng.

"Presumptuous!"

Several guards drew their swords, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, not that he was cowardly, but he really asked for help, and he couldn't get up.

"Please, if you have something to say."

Zhu Neng helped him to take off, with a smile on his face, but he didn't think so.

In the past, troops were not sent to garrison Hami, because the population was insufficient, and in those years, there was a shortage of population in the north, and a large number of non-stop immigrants from the south were needed.

So it's easy to beat, but no one comes to produce locally, so what's the use of beating down.

Now there is a railway.

Then naturally Hami will not be handed over to the local chieftain, but will be directly managed by Daming, otherwise Hami will be a head when it will be a head.

As the Heavenly Kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, the last thing I want is that the surrounding flames are in flames, which is very unfavorable to the stability of the world.

"Military affairs, although I am the governor of the capital, I don't dare to start a war, but don't worry, your safety is protected by us, and the ghost power can't hurt you."

Detachment can only be reluctantly accepted.

People are under the roof, what can he do with the lost dog.

Zhu Neng recorded the latest situation outside the province of the Western Regions and sent it back to the capital in the form of an official document.

Beat.

Big fight or small fight, how to deal with the aftermath.

Don't fight.

Whether or not to accept the request of the Ghost Lichi's minister Nagong.

On the fifth day of Tokhtar's arrival at Jiayuguan, the envoy of Guilichi arrived at Jiayuguan, hoping to gain the approval of the Ming Dynasty like Anke Timur, and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty as usual.

Zhu Neng was very polite to Anke Timur's envoy, after all, the decision of the imperial court had not yet been made, even if he knew it in his heart, there was no need for an early showdown.

……

"Click, click."

The steam engine train traveled on the railway, arriving in Liuhe from Shandong, and the railway of the train came to an end, with the Yangtze River in front.

The train transporting passengers makes a U-turn and returns from here.

Only the carriages transporting materials will lift the steam engine train cars onto the steam engine ships by means of crane arms at the wharf in Jiangpu.

Passengers don't need to, they change to a ferry at the ferry and then re-board the train with a ticket at the other end.

Li Youzhi looked all the way.

The development and change of Beiping is the greatest, and the rest of the way, the change is not very big. It's just that there are more factories, more buildings like bell towers, water towers, etc.

When he arrived in Yingtianfu, Li Youzhi felt something and discovered the wealth of the south, and a large amount of funds and materials were transported to the north every year, which was the confidence of the south.

There is no idle field around, and there are people everywhere.

No matter which direction you go with your eyes closed, it won't be long before you can see the village, and a few years ago the population of Northern Parallel Province was only 2 million.

The ferry port is lively.

Pantry, food shops, liquor shops, bookstalls, and vendors selling small goods form a lively street.

Their train hasn't come into the station yet.

Li Youzhi followed the flow of people coming down from the ferry, and from time to time he looked at the goods on the vendors.

"The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty", "The Biography of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Romance of the Five Dynasties of the Remnant Tang Dynasty", "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons", "Journey to the West", "The Poetry of the Three Tibetan Scriptures of the Tang Dynasty", "The Tales of King Wu", "The Legend of the Kingdoms", "The Jade Guanyin", "The Ghost of a Cave in the West Mountain", "Feng Yumei Reunion", ......

Li Youzhi knew at a glance that it was pirated and stolen printing, and the quality of the book paper was poor, but it was cheaper.

Because he was worried about missing the train, Li Youzhi did not stop.

As a result, they waited at the train station for a whole hour and did not see the train they were waiting for.

The coachmen outside the station kept waving to the passengers inside the station, telling them that they might as well take their carriages and maybe they all arrived in the capital.

Signs were posted inside the station to warn of the risks of riding in the horse-drawn carriage outside.

But many people turned a blind eye and couldn't stand the temptation of the coachmen, so they followed them out, and Li Youzhi remained motionless.

The car and boat shop is not easy to get along with, not a local, or don't follow it easily.

Soon.

Someone shouted in the hall: "The train to the capital has arrived, and the passengers coming from the ferry hurry up to get on the train." ”

With the man's shouting, people took their luggage one after another and rushed to the entrance, and even Li Youzhi couldn't help but run.

got on the train again, and Li Youzhi's heart that had been hanging was calm.

The speed of the train.

In later generations, it will be fifteen kilometers per hour, and how slow this speed is, I believe anyone who has driven a car knows it.

But don't look at this is only 15 kilometers per hour, but it can make a fundamental change in the life mode of Daming society.

Li Youzhi is an official in Beiping, and his future as a junior official is limited.

Later, Yan Yu valued his talents, gave him reuse, and had an official body, and with Yan Yu leaving Beiping, he was reused by the little prince.

reported at the Ministry of Officials, and only one day later, the people from the Imperial City came to the door and followed the other party to the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Gaochi was discussing with Jin Zhong, so Li Youzhi was waiting in the side room.

"Half a million?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Jin Zhong in a daze, and subconsciously asked, "Father has changed his mind?" ”

"It's not a prince, it's a saint."

Jin Zhong smiled bitterly.

Zhu Gaochi was also speechless, "Didn't Grandpa Huang say that he didn't care, why did he interfere again." ”

A workaholic is a workaholic.

I can't change my temper.

Anyway, I still can't help but take care of it, but it's much better than before, if history hadn't changed, Zhu Yuanzhang would have died of illness.

Now that he is not sick, Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive and well.

"The sage said that since he wants to reclaim 9 million barren fields in Hami, there must be no less people, only the more people there are, the more people will be left in the future, only 300,000 people, I am afraid that in the end there will only be less than 100,000 left."

Got it.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly said, "The homeland is hard to leave." ”

It's useless to be blindly tough, others will run.

Just like a few years ago, many military households in the north fled to their hometowns, but with the gradual restoration of water conservancy projects in the north and the prosperity of the fields, this phenomenon has only eased slightly.

Then put it in Hami.

Indeed, as Zhu Yuanzhang said, even if you give people 100 acres of land, there may only be 100,000 that can be left in 300,000 miles.

But 100,000 is enough.

100,000 young people stayed in Hami, plus their families in the mainland, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and after 20 years of birth and raising, I am afraid the population will exceed 1 million.

Zhu Gaochi did not plan to move too many people in Yili and Hami, and the maximum of 500,000 people was already the upper limit he had planned.

There is a lot of good land in the southeast sea, and there is no political power on it.

For example, Luzon.

At present, there are only tribal natives in Luzon, and more importantly, from Yuegang in Fujian to Luzon, ordinary merchant ships only need fifteen to twenty days.

Historically, when Zheng He went to the West, the fleet passed through Luzon, and Xu Chailao, who had immigrated there, was named the governor of Luzon.

And also on the neglect, the importance of controlling Malacca, must be controlled in the hands, otherwise it is easy to become an external trouble.

At this time.

Xie Jin on the side spoke.

"The grain point is implemented in Yingtianfu, although there have been local obstacles, but in the end, it is only the grain point to collect the world's grain, and we need to be cautious."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Xie Jin.

After Xie Jin's reminder, he woke up to the fact that national affairs should not be rushed, and he already understood what Xie Jin was going to say.

Really.

"The accumulation of the world's grain must be limited to three years, so that it is a good policy for the benefit of the country and the people, otherwise if a large-scale disaster occurs, and the grain in the grain point cannot supply the people, I am afraid that there will be a great disaster."

There are pros and cons to everything.

The implementation of grain points has created a solid foundation for the premise of industrial development and agricultural stability.

As long as there are no problems with grain, then Zhu Gaochi can create and lead the market by means of regulation and control.

However, all the grain in the world is concentrated in the hands of the state, and in the event of a large-scale disaster, and the grain is spent, it is more dangerous than controlling the grain in the hands of grain merchants.

Control in the hands of grain merchants, even if the price is expensive, at least he has it, and he can get along with countermeasures.

And if there is no food at the grain point, it is not a question of whether the price is expensive or not.

Looking at the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty, which area can supply the food needed by the Ming population?

Jin Zhong was also stunned.

He was originally a stable person, but he really had too much desire to fight in the army, and Jin Zhong, who served as the secretary of the recruit department, lost his overall view.

"Mr. Xie's words are the way to be serious, and it really needs to be so."

Jin Zhong agreed with Xie Jin's statement and put forward his opinion, "Rice is the easiest to preserve, and it can be stored for two years in the south and three years in the north." ”

"Then build a great granary in the north, divided into a hundred, and a great granary in the south, divided into fifty."

Zhu Gaochi immediately said.

"In that case, what about immigration?"

Xie Jin asked.

"Still fighting." Jin Zhong explained: "If it takes a long time, I am afraid that the railway in Hami will be destroyed. ”

"Then only the army will be arranged, and the immigration will be delayed."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Xie Jin shook his head again.

"There is no need to stop the immigration, but the scale is gradually decreasing, so first organize 100,000 young people to build water conservancy in the local area."

Jin Zhong looked at Zhu Gaochi.

The matter of Hami is not only a matter of the army and immigrants, but also the trial trial of the Ministry of Military and Commercial Cooperation in Hami and Yili.

According to his plan with the imperial grandson, when the military-commercial joint office is successfully piloted in the local area, then it will play a role in Fujian.

Next to Ryukyu Island, and Ryukyu Island to Luzon.

It will be guided by the Ministry of Military-Commercial Cooperation.

"Mr. Jin Butai Reconciliation, the two of you will discuss a charter." Zhu Gaochi instructed that things need to be brainstormed.

Now that the strategy has changed, all aspects of specific things need to be re-planned, and it is also necessary to communicate with Zhu Di.

Shortly thereafter.

Zhu Gaochi summoned Li Youzhi.

"Meet the little prince."

"Juzheng."

Zhu Gaochi enthusiastically pulled Li Youzhi, a well-known hard-working official in history, who has done very well in Beiping over the years.

Whether it was to lead the people to open up wasteland, or to promote industrial development later.

"I am going to gather all the official shipyards in Daming and prepare for the Longjiang Shipyard in Yingtianfu and the Changle Shipyard in Fujian."

Li Youzhi sighed at the spirit of the little prince.

This is not an industry involving hundreds or thousands of people, but an industry involving tens of thousands of people.

"In this way, I have Jinzhou Shipyard, Longjiang Shipyard, and Changle Shipyard respectively, and my estimate is to launch 1,000 ships every year."

Zhu Gaochi said affirmatively.

This is not a problem, in history, with the termination of activities in the West, the Longjiang Shipyard was closed, but the rise of the Qingjiang Shipyard launched an average of more than 600 ships per year.

During the activities of going to the Western Ocean, the number of ships in the fleet was close to 30,000, and the highest time was more than 30,000.

Although it is still mainly based on sails, it can solve many problems with the addition of a steam engine as an auxiliary power.

Zhu Gaochi estimated that the number of people going to the West would be about 50,000.

If you want to change the seas of Southeast Asia, you need a sufficient population.

It's all about population.

Zhu Gaochi became bored.

I have a cold and fever today, and I'm really powerless, so I'll break up next Saturday, make up for yesterday's chapter, today's two chapters, and two other chapters that were sealed, and put them in the comment area.

(End of chapter)
