Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, their willingness to expand their territory is very strong, but they have the original intention of governance, and they are much weaker in killing.

Before the death of the crown prince Zhu Biaowei, Zhu Yuanzhang had been arranging the Shaanxi Xingdu Division for several years, relocating military households to resume production, and sending veterans to win over local forces.

A lot of preparations were made for the Western Expedition, but the sudden death of the crown prince Zhu Biao interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's layout.

From the day the crown prince Zhu Biao died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang's layout began to be domestic.

arrived at Zhu Di.

In order to prove himself, Zhu Di's desire to expand his territory is great.

Five expeditions to the desert, the south occupies Annam, and seven goes to the West.

Unfortunately, the environment is different.

The three hundred years from the fourteenth century to the sixteenth century was a period when the Mongol world rule entered a period of collapse, although the Ming Dynasty was the first to recover from the Mongol rule, but Central Asia, West Asia, and even the desert, there was a boundless Mongol power.

Although the people were defeated by Zhu Di, they were still able to get blood replenishment from Central Asia and West Asia, and they were resurrected one after another, and then rebelled, unable to effectively govern.

In the end, it was only by relying on the system of tributary trade, and in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, that the Mongol power had been defeated, and it began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Alda Khan.

From the day when Alda Khan declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, no matter how much he was sincere, he could submit his vassals to the Ming Dynasty along with hundreds of Taiji under him, which meant that some things were gone forever.

Alda Khan could no longer unite his men against the Ming.

In the end, if his descendants wanted to migrate to Qinghai Lifo, they needed to ask the Ming Emperor in advance and obtain the consent of the Ming Emperor before they could move to Qinghai.

This is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty defeated the Great Khan of Mongolia and was able to stabilize the desert, but the Yongle Emperor in the early Ming Dynasty was not.

Not because Kangxi was stronger than Zhu Di, but because the pattern of the world was different, and there was still a Rakshasa country from the west at that time.

From the complete decay on the world stage, and a brutal enemy chasing from the west, choosing one of the two is already the last choice.

Just like in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the tribes of Nuergan chose to submit to the Ming Dynasty instead of Korea, and in the same way, the tribes on the desert would only choose to submit to the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is the Celestial Empire.

The habitual thinking in people's hearts.

But as the world is, Mongolia is beginning to decline on the world stage, but some areas are still expanding.

Not to mention the Golden Horde, although the Timurid Empire did not belong to the Mongol Khanate, it can be regarded as a complicated relationship.

Zhu Gaochi was a little worried that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had the same thoughts.

"Grandpa Huang said that he would send 500,000 military households, although his grandson did not agree to send 500,000 military households, but he would emigrate 500,000 people."

He pointed to the map.

Zhu Gaochi introduced, "Hami takes Shazhou and Guazhou as the main migration areas, with 100,000 immigrants, and then Hami City, with 50,000 immigrants, a total of 150,000 people. ”

Then he pointed to Yili Lili.

"From the area of Hami City, enter Yili through the 'corridor', and take Turpan, Beshibali and Weilumu as the densely populated areas to the east, and migrate 200,000 people."

"Father can go to Yili, but he can't go beyond here, and leave Yili and the western part of the region to the black son."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really reluctant.

I can swallow the whole Yili Li, so why let me compromise.

"There are two major populated areas in Hami, so there are at least three of them."

Zhu Yuanzhang drew three circles.

The first circle is the area that Zhu Gaochi just mentioned, the second circle is the area with Yili as the core, and the third circle is my dry area.

It just includes the middle plain area, where Yili sandwiches the two deserts in the north and south, and the rivers and green spaces are basically in these three areas.

Areas suitable for farming and grazing were completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Leaving behind the boundless deserts and deserts, the areas where people cannot survive for a long time, the natural defense situation.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to leave my work to the black fireman, Zhu Gaochi couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Gaochi's expression, shook his head and said, "Do you think you have good intentions to leave my work to others, and people can appreciate it." ”

"If we are a black firefighter, let's go back and fight with our Daming, how can we easily give up Yili to take the area around the city."

"He shouldn't dare."

Zhu Gaochi said.

The Chagatai Khanate was the vanguard of the anti-Yuan dynasty and later began to implement a policy of rapprochement with the Yuan dynasty, but from the early 14th century, the Chagatai Khanate entered a period of turmoil.

Even in the middle of the 14th century, it was divided into the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate.

Timur was born in the Western Chagatai Khanate.

The Western Chagatai Khanate had become the domain of Timur, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate included the present-day Yili Khana.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was in constant turmoil, and the flames of war over the past hundred years had burned out the vitality of this land.

Although the black child firefighter was the successor of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, in the face of the current situation, he chose to befriend the Ming Dynasty, wanting to use the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to restore the unity of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

This expectation was not fulfilled in history until the early 17th century, when he died in the Warat Dzungar tribe.

Then came the great war between the Qing Dynasty and the Dzungaria, which was followed by a massacre in the region, and the relocation of hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese from the interior was soon carried out.

Today's black children do not have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

From the time he left Belpali easily, it had already proved that he had the idea that he would not cling to the land.

However, the environment of Yili is different from that of the desert.

The great desert and mountain range of Yili make Yili extremely wide and vast, but it does not have the same strategic space as the desert.

Opposite.

Because of the large desert and large mountain ranges, there are only a few passages and exits, which block the way out of Yili very much.

It also includes Xinjiang in later generations, as well as the territories of Central Asia.

From the east to the central region, lined with large deserts and large mountain ranges, it was only necessary to control the Ili River valley for later generations.

However, out of the Ili River Valley, the climate and geography of Central Asia began to improve, and the large deserts and large mountains were not unviable, and could support a small number of people.

That is, the reason why Afghanistan in later generations was able to hold on, the great desert and the big mountain range, on the contrary, became a guerrilla barrier.

Zhu Gaochi drew a line.

"The actual scope of our governance is up to the area of Yili Shori, and the farthest is Atami as the dividing line."

Everyone looked over, and Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at the map.

Atami was Lake Issyk-Kul in later generations.

Issyk-Kul Lake is on the territory of the later country Kyrgyzstan.

With Atami as the dividing line, out of the Ili River Valley, the outer area is open, with grasslands, deserts, mountains, basins, and complex terrain.

In short, it is no longer a place where controlling the corridor solves everything.

"The western region is under the management of the Black Sons of Fire, which belongs to the territory of my Daming, and first restore the productivity of Hami and Yili to make the local people turn to Daming."

The strategy of the imperial grandson was conservative.

Jin Zhong agreed.

The rest of the officials also looked at the imperial grandson with admiration, and now with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, blindly expanding regardless of the situation is a common problem of many rulers.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his grandson insisted on his idea, so he didn't ask more.

Sun Er thinks about things that go well, but Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that he should prepare for the worst, is the black child fire really willing to accept it?

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a smile, and left the Wenhua Hall without speaking.

In accordance with Zhu Gaochi's plan, the ministers went their own way and recruited immigrants from both military and civilian households.

……

Wuchang.

Chu Wangfu.

Zhu Zhen took the guards and looked at the big construction site of the headquarters of the Wuchang Iron Smelting Center from a distance, and the invisible end made Zhu Zhen's heart heavy.

"I heard that although the vassal kings in the north were released to the vassal palace, their power was not restored, and even the guards of the palace were disbanded."

The official of the Changshi Mansion of the King of Chu said.

Zhu Zhen turned his head and didn't look at the official who had just spoken.

This long history, who fled south from the Qin Palace, was taken in by him, and for the sake of the late second brother, Zhu Zhen did not treat the other party badly.

Gu Yingshi was not afraid that the King of Chu would turn his face.

The Changshi Mansion of the King of Qin, after the death of the old King Qin, began to fight, but with the invasion of the new army of Beiping, they had nothing.

No one wants to lose power, Gu Yingshi even has a secret letter from the new King of Qin, but he didn't take it out, and it's not time yet.

The biggest hope in front of him is the king of Chu.

As the sixth son of the sage, the king of Chu not only became an early vassal but also led a large army to expedition many times.

Whether it is the ability to lead the troops or the military strength in his hands, it is currently the largest of the other feudal kings.

The tentacles of China Heavy Industry have penetrated deep into Wuchang.

Isn't it exactly the same as the situation in Shaanxi back then?

When China Heavy Industry gained a firm foothold in Wuchang, it was the king of Chu who ended up with the six kings of Qin, Jin, Ning, Qi, Liao, and Zhou.

"You've got too many on your mind."

Zhu Zhen said coldly.

Although the king of Chu was only in his thirties, he began to lead his troops in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, pacified the barbarians, conquered Yunnan, captured Alubald alive, conquered the Western barbarians, and exterminated the Dongyi......

After 20 years of conquest, he made great achievements.

If you look at the time of counterinsurgency and conquest and the number of times he led the army, etc., the merits of the king of Chu are no worse than those of Zhu Di.

Even in some aspects, he is stronger than Yanwang Zhu Di.

The stability of the western, southwestern, southern, and central regions of the Ming Dynasty is basically indispensable to the figure of the King of Chu.

You must know that although the Yuan Dynasty has disappeared, it is only the 14th century, not the 15th century.

Asia, with the exception of East Asia, still belongs to the era of Mongolia.

There are also forces left by Mongolia in the country, and they are not willing to obediently submit to the Ming Dynasty, but are equally ambitious.

The Han people have been inferior people for a hundred years.

The blow to the prestige of the Han Chinese was enormous, and many forces had confidence and felt that they could do it themselves.

Gu Yingshi was scolded by the King of Chu, but not only did he not get angry, but he was happy in his heart.

The more he came into contact with the King of Chu, the more Gu Yingshi felt that he had come to the right place.

With such power, is the king of Chu willing to lose it?

It must be unwilling.

King Yan is thousands of miles away, and the person who is in charge of the country is only the son of King Yan, as long as the saint has an accident, how can it not be done.

It is not for nothing that there are examples of dying with strength, and there are many plans that can be targeted when Gu Ying, and now he is thinking about the saint.

How can an accident happen?

It takes the cooperation of people.

Gu Yingshi thought of a person.
