Chapter 729: Change
Orthodoxy for three years.
The Golden Horde had already entered an eventful situation.
Due to the lack of stable order and a strong Great Khan in this huge empire, in less than thirty years, the throne of the Great Khan has changed more than twenty. In these turbulent times, whoever has the strength of his soldiers and horses will be able to sit on the throne of the Great Khan and become the master of this vast land.
The frequent changes of the Golden Horde also had a profound impact on the suzerain-vassal relationship of the Ming Dynasty here.
Whenever a new Great Khan came to power, the Ming court would send envoys to the Golden Horde to be canonized and appointed.
In the sequence of vassal states, the Golden Horde is the most unstable one, which is very different from the vassal states in Southeast Asia.
On the side of the Golden Horde, however, the appointments brought about by these Ming envoys were often unsustainable. In a matter of months, a new general will rise up and overthrow the previous Great Khan, plunging the Ming dynasty into chaos and instability.
After the Orthodox Emperor succeeded to the throne, the imperial court was well aware of the complexity and thorniness of the situation in the Golden Horde.
In order to stabilize this important and unimportant vassal state, the imperial court sent many powerful ministers to the Golden Horde to contact various forces, trying to resolve the conflict and restore order through diplomatic means.
However, the Golden Horde's years of rough management, economic regression, and warlord warfare often backfired the imperial court's efforts.
During this period, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty also underwent significant changes.
Due to their age, Sanyang and other old ministers have served in the cabinet for too long, so they resigned from their cabinet positions one by one and returned to their hometowns.
The new cabinet members paid more attention to the development and construction of the five major regions of Tianzhu, and they set their sights on a broader field, hoping to enhance the national strength and influence of the Ming Dynasty by promoting economic development.
In the remote Golden Horde states, however, the situation is not encouraging.
Due to the remoteness of the geographical location and the backwardness of the economy, the attention and recognition of the people here to the Ming court gradually decreased. They were more concerned with how to survive in this turbulent era than with the relationship between the clans and vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, in the spring of the third year of Orthodoxy, Muscovy completely overthrew the rule of the Golden Horde and replaced it with the self-proclaimed Tsar.
They claimed to have inherited the mantle of the Eastern Roman Empire, changed the name of the country to Rus, and refused to recognize the Ming dynasty's vassal system. This incident shook the entire Ming Dynasty, and the court talked about it.
In order to maintain its authority and interests, the Ming court decided to put down a rebellion against the Rus' state.
The first counterinsurgency war began in earnest in the summer of the fourth year of Orthodoxy.
The Ming army, with its strong military strength, quickly achieved victory. However, as the battle line lengthened and the weather deteriorated, the remnants of the Rus' forces and armies gradually gained some religious and state support.
They successfully ambushed the Ming army along the Volga River, making the Ming New Army suffer a military defeat for the first time in decades.
This defeat brought great shock and reflection to the Ming court.
The rebels used a large number of firearms, including artillery and grenades and other heavy weapons that were originally only available to the Ming army, and more and more countries had their own firearms, and with the growth of the world economy, more and more firearms troops could afford to raise.
However, there is no qualitative gap between the firearms mastered by the remnants of the Moss State and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, although there is still a huge gap in accuracy and firepower, but there is no breakthrough.
The most important thing is that the country of Moss is too far away, and the long distance has made the Ming army, which is accustomed to relying on railways and warships, suffer a lot, and in the extreme weather, the Ming army has encountered too many difficulties.
This military defeat made the imperial court deeply aware of the complexity and arduousness of the Golden Horde region, and decided to adopt a more prudent and effective strategy to quell the rebellion.
In the seventh year of orthodoxy, the Second Counterinsurgency War officially began.
The Ming court gathered more than 100,000 troops from the seven western provinces, the Yili Bari province, the five northern Tianzhu provinces, and the Dili vassal states, including countless supplies and supplies.
In order to ensure the victory of the war, the imperial court also built ships in the Caspian Sea for transporting supplies, and in the past few years, the construction of ships in the Caspian Sea cost the Ming Dynasty huge manpower and material resources.
After three years of hard fighting, the Ming court finally completely pacified the Rus' state.
In the region north of the Aral Sea, the imperial court divided the Kazan Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate, and the Crimean Khanate into vassal states to strengthen its control and management over the region.
At the same time, in order to hold these vassal states hostage, the imperial court also selected some forces from them to divide the Xuanfu Division and the Xuanfu Division and other institutions.
With the continuous expansion of the Ming Dynasty's power, it became more and more difficult for many vassal states and consolation envoys to travel to and from the Ming capital.
Even with the convenience of railways in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, it would take them more than two years to reach the capital. This geographical estrangement and distance made it more difficult for the Ming court to control and manage these areas.
Although the Golden Horde has disappeared into history, the resistance in the southwestern region of the former Golden Horde has not been completely eradicated.
These rebel forces still had hostility and disagreement with the Ming court, and they continued to launch rebellions and attacks in an attempt to restore their independence and status.
In the eighth year of orthodoxy, the death of Zhao Hong, the governor of Tianzhu North, caused the imperial court's attitude towards the former Golden Horde region to change.
Zhao Hong is already one of the top military nobles in the Ming Dynasty.
Since succeeding Zhu Neng and appointing him as the new governor of Tianzhu North, this marshal with rich experience and outstanding talent has implemented many policies and measures beneficial to local development in the Tianzhu North region over the years, which has played a vital role in the Ming Dynasty's immigration national policy.
It was deeply loved and respected by local estate owners and merchants, but it also caused dissatisfaction among many shopkeepers of the Daming Industry Bureau.
However, his death made it more difficult for the imperial court to control and manage the region.
In order to calm the local situation as soon as possible, the imperial court began to adopt a more flexible and pragmatic strategy in dealing with the former Golden Horde region.
They began to use co-optation as the main task of suppression, supplemented by extermination, and sent envoys and envoys to communicate and negotiate with local forces to seek a peaceful solution to the problem.
At the same time, the imperial court also strengthened economic and cultural exchanges with the region, and strengthened its ties and interactions with the local people through trade and cultural transmission.
The implementation of these measures has achieved certain results, and the local situation has gradually stabilized, and the opposition forces have been effectively contained.
However, due to factors such as historical problems and geographical estrangement, the problems in this region have not been fundamentally resolved, and the Ming court still needs to continue to strengthen its control and management of this area to ensure that the Ming dynasty system can be maintained.
Daming Mainland.
Printing factories can be seen everywhere, even in the county seat, and there are more and more bookstores and bookstores on the streets, making books a commodity that ordinary people have at home.
With a large number of them, reading has become a trend.
Secrets such as the know-how of techniques and the secret methods of magic have been unearthed through various books, and young people ride bicycles through the streets and alleys, and there are also young people who like to ride bicycles on the country roads.
Rather than clean and fashionable bicycles, young people gave up livestock.
With the development of rubber technology, the first steam engine bus that could be driven on the road began to be used in Beiping, and the steam engine that used the explosive properties of gunpowder to reform also began to be studied.
With the development of anatomy, medical scientists put forward the concept of circulation of blood flowing out of the heart and passing through the lungs, and estimated the amount of blood flowing out of the heart through the slow beating of the animal's heart before death, and finally concluded that arterial blood vessels and venous blood vessels together constitute a circulatory system.
With the development of blood science, the role of penicillin began to be thoroughly developed.
The first human injection of penicillin.
The second case.
The third case.
With the development of penicillin refining technology, penicillin injection has become a commonly used drug in hospitals, and many terminal diseases have been treated in the past, and penicillin has even been described as a miracle cure for all diseases.
Hot air balloon technology has matured, and there have been people traveling with hot air balloons, and scholars have seen more sights.
There is also the development of telescopes, observing the celestial phenomena to see farther places, the stars are spheres, and all stars, including the moon and the earth, revolve around the sun, which has become a consensus.
The development of various science and technology has made religious superstition more and more abandoned among the upper classes.
The development of Tianzhu's major regions, as well as immigrants over the years, countless estates and cash crops, provided Daming with abundant cheap resources, including food, even if Daming's population growth exploded, it did not affect Daming's per capita resources, but increased exponentially.
The economy has become more and more prosperous, and the income of ordinary workers has become higher and higher, and it has reached the era of 26 yuan per month, which is 26 times higher than the era when 1 yuan per month was still a high wage.
Behind the 26 yuan per month of ordinary workers' income represents the bicycles that ordinary workers' families can buy.
The rise of the bicycle industry has brought the development of productivity to a higher level, increased the efficiency of transportation, and promoted people's exchanges.
Cheap goods, high wages and high welfare, and the socio-economic phenomenon of conflict was born in the Ming Dynasty.
All the commodities in the world flowed into the Ming Dynasty, which improved the life of the Ming people.
With cheap raw materials on the one hand and high-priced industrial products on the other, the Ming merchants mastered the technology and controlled all aspects of the vassal state, including land and population, through the dumping of industrial products into the vassal states and even further regions.
Unlike the Western history, the Ming Dynasty had an abundant population and market, and was not afraid of commodity competition between vassal states and overseas regions, let alone the threat of domination.
Wave after wave of Ming people came overseas and improved the composition of the local population, including the Jedao Island, which has exceeded five million, several times the indigenous population of 700,000.
Although the local population accounts for the majority of the Dili vassal states in the northern region of Tianzhu, the population of the Ming Dynasty exceeds the local population in the vast central plain, and the population of the Ming Dynasty is also surging year by year in Guli and other areas in the south.
With the development of medicine, especially the development and popularization of penicillin technology, the mortality rate of newborns in Daming has been greatly reduced, and many families no longer even have the phenomenon of neonatal death.
The life expectancy of the elderly has also been extended, coupled with the sufficiency of food and nutrition, and the improvement of the working environment, most of the 50-year-olds are still full of vitality, which has improved the life expectancy of the population.
The old saying of fifty knowing the destiny of heaven has been changed.
There are more and more elderly people celebrating their 60th birthdays, and 70-year-old people are no longer a rare thing in the village, and 80-year-old people are rare birthday stars.
Coupled with the affluent life and the influx of a large number of overseas women, the concubinage behavior that only had in the upper class spread to the ordinary class, although it caused a lot of opposition in the society, and the popularity of crops such as corn and sweet potatoes replaced the original wheel crops, so that the growth of the Ming population skyrocketed.
In the eighteenth year of Yongle, the population of the Ming Dynasty reached about 167.15 million.
Orthodox decade.
The population of Daming has exceeded 300 million.
Zhu Gaochi's large well system has become a national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to ensure the survival of the large well system and more economic interests, he has continued to emigrate overseas, and has not stopped.
In addition to the immigration to the Daying Island area, the Tianzhu area is the key direction of immigration, including Luzon, Boni Dusi, and there are more than 5 million Ming people in the Judao Dusi, which is the reason for the background of this era.
With such a huge population, the demand for bare leather clothes and shoes stimulated merchants to hunt animals in all corners of the world.
From the northeast to the Far East, the caravan even crossed the White Strait to the New World, hunting animals in the north of the New World to obtain hair, and after the completion of the construction of the railway in Nurgandus, over the years, with the trade of the caravans, there were even voices to build a railway in the Far East, all the way to the White Strait.
Merchants gathered, and simple wharves were built on both sides of the White Strait.
After the caravan returned, some of the people who set up the caravan would be left behind to guard it, and they became the first residents of the Ming people to immigrate to the New World, and more and more envoys began to travel overseas to seek new vassal states for the Ming Dynasty, including the New World.
Zhao Hong's death finally came to the fore in the decade of orthodoxy.
Losing Zhao Hong's impartiality in the northern area of Tianzhu, the competition between the Daming Industrial Bureau and the private commercial banks became more and more fierce, and the powerful Daming Industrial Bureau encroached on the interests of a large number of private commercial banks, and the conflicts between the two sides became more and more.
In a nutshell.
Under the economic cycle, with the thorough development of Goryeo and Daying Island, the potential of the seven western provinces has also been tapped, and the large-scale development of the Tianzhu region and the economic construction of Boni, Luzon, Nanyang, and Jedao have been increasing, but the speed of increase can no longer be compared with before.
Batch after batch of businessmen and factories opened by the Daming Industrial Bureau, faced with the competition of "stock", that is, began internal competition.
Because if you look at the world, there is no place to offer it.
Although there are also propaganda divisions such as Manpasa and Ma Lindi in Africa, and Oman in the Middle East, they will not quench their thirst unless new technologies that change productivity are introduced to turn the world into an era of great increments and satisfy the appetites of all parties.
Goryeo was the first private trading house to set foot in, and it was annexed by the Daming Industry Bureau, and some of the private trading houses combined with other trading houses to start the development of Daying Island, and the result was the same.
The two sides are like vines.
The competition between the two sides made the two sides follow each other from Goryeo to Daying, from Daying to Luzon Boni, and to Tianzhu.
Some merchants began to go to the New World, the Middle East, Africa, the Xuanfu Division area set up by the Ming Dynasty, some merchants stayed to fight, some merchants joined the Ming Industry Bureau, and some merchants retreated to the island.
At present, it looks as if it will be the same as it has been for decades.
The Daming Bureau of Industry went further, and the private commercial banks went one step out.
This is also a hole deliberately left by Zhu Gaochi at the beginning.
It's so comfortable, who wants to go through the hard way.
Somebody has to go.
But times are changing.
Many of the policies left behind by Zhu Gaochi are outdated and need to be constantly changed and improved by later generations, rather than just eating the old books. (End of chapter)
