After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Qiyu replied: "Eighth child, you care about the safety of your country, this is very good."

I rebuilt and strengthened the old Kaiping City, that is, the former site of the capital of Yuanshang. Two new cities were built in the surrounding area, and one new city was at an angle with the main city, playing the role of arch guard. Another new city was built to trade with the Mongols.

Do not let the Mongols enter the main city, lest the Mongols join forces inside and outside and wait for an opportunity to cause chaos.

When you are in the domain, I will select the elite for you and form three guards.

As soon as the city gate is closed, at least the Mongols will not be able to enter Kaiping City.

As for the complete elimination of the Mongol threat, that would be a long story. In short, I want to completely occupy the Mongols' lair, bring them all under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and let them become herdsmen in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Hearing this, King Ping was satisfied, and his father made it clear that he would form three guards, which was the most important thing.

If there are no three guards, it means that the vassal king is being raised as a pig.

On the premise of having a lesson from the previous car and the battle of Jingjing, he dared to give the prince three guards, and the emperor did it with courage.

King Wei immediately asked, "Daddy, what about the child in the future, is it the same as the eighth brother?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, you border town princes are all guarded." ”

After repeated measurements, Zhu Qiyu believes that it is a very small probability event that Taizong's Jingyan Battle can succeed, and it is outrageous enough for a dynasty to happen once, which is so easy to succeed a second time.

It is better to continue the strategy of Taizu's pro-domain to defend the frontier.

Raising the vassal king as a pig is indeed not afraid of the vassal king's rebellion, but it has brought many side effects.

The change of Tumubao is a clear proof of this, but only a few powerful relatives like the Hongwu Dynasty will not be killed first.

Give all the border stoppers to the military generals of Wenchen, they may really not care about anything, such as Yang Hong, the envoy of Xuanfu Jiedu.

The powerful vassal king was sealed in the border fortress, and the local civil and military generals checked and balanced each other. Although there are some very unbearable vassal kings, most of them still care about the country.

There is also the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which has a lot to do with the fact that there is no real power vassal king in Liaodong.

There is no immortal dynasty in the world, there are pros and cons to any choice, Zhu Qiyu's concept is that the feudal real power vassal king, than raising the vassal king as a pig, can make Daming live for a few more decades, even if it is successful.

A dynasty can last for more than 300 years, even if it is the end of its life.

If at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a powerful figure in the vassal king, reunified the world, and established a Dongming, it would be better than making a Southern Ming.

Raise the vassal king as a pig, and in the end it must be Nanming.

No matter how you do it, no matter how bad it is, it can't be rotten Nanming.

Hearing that each vassal king had three guards, the princes were overjoyed.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Those of you who are sealed in the south, Burma, Siam, Bangladesh and other places, as long as you want, you can attack Tianzhu."

I don't care anymore, whoever knocks it down is whoever's own.

Then from Tianzhu to the west, the Timurid Empire, the White Aries Dynasty, the Black Sheep Dynasty, and some are land.

The imperial court can't directly control so much land, and whoever of you has the adventurous spirit can fight it. ”

When all the princes heard this, they all became enthusiastic. His father was implying that Mongolia had the Great Yuan Empire, the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and the Ogedai Khanate at the same time.

Da Ming, it's not that there can't be this form.

King Han asked, "Daddy, can our prince from the north go and expand the territory?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, go west, what Kazakh Khanate, Crimean Khanate, Grand Duchy of Moscow, and further west there are many small countries."

If you are willing to take the risk, go and fight, and not only will you go down in history, but the land you have laid will also be divided among your children and grandchildren. ”

Zhu Qiyu also wanted to open up, and he wanted to mobilize the enthusiasm of the government and the opposition, and if he didn't give benefits, who would open up the territory for you.

The imperial court only needs to directly control the most important strategic maritime points, and the large piece of land in the west is obviously not directly controlled by the imperial court.

Next, it's time to show off the rocket.

When the battalion guards pushed the rocket onto the school field, Zhu Qiyu stood up in surprise and approached to take a closer look.

It turns out that Daming not only has rockets, but also rocket artillery.

Liu Changxing rushed to explain to Zhu Qiyu: "Shengshang, this is a 'swarm of bees', which can fire thirty-two arrows at the same time.

Earlier, during the Mongols' expedition to the west, Han craftsmen captured from the Southern Song Dynasty were used to create rockets capable of firing multiple arrows.

This one is the 'Hundred Tigers Running Arrows', which is an improved version of the 'Swarm of Bees' and can fire up to a hundred arrows. ”

"How far is this range?"

Liu Chang replied: "A swarm of bees can reach 300 steps, and a hundred tigers can run arrows up to 500 steps." ”

Zhu Qiyu scratched his head, a little confused: "It turns out that there are already these things, so it will be much easier to fight the Mongolian cavalry." ”

Liu Chang smiled: "It is also necessary to control the Mongols to obtain armor and firearms. We have the advantage of firearms, and they don't have heavy armor, so it's naturally much easier to deal with. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again: "To end the threat of nomads, in the final analysis, we still have to rely on firearms." So what we need now is to form an alliance with the Ottoman Empire and jointly destroy the Mongol khanates. ”

Liu Chang was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly jump to the Ottoman Empire again.

Zhu Qiyu explained: "In today's world, the firearms technology is passable, and we are with the Ottoman Empire.

Therefore, we have to form an alliance with them, so that not only can they not sell firearms to the Mongols, but at the same time, they can also go with us to flank the rebels of the Timurid Empire, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the Golden Horde.

Recently, the situation in the west has been very bad, the Golden Horde has split into several khanates, and the Timurid Empire is in close contact with the Eastern Chahat Khanate, and there is a tendency to unite.

Originally, the Mongols were going to make a big offense, and if they mixed in, it would be enough for us to drink a pot.

Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's look at the rockets. ”

Liu Chang commanded the soldiers to set up multiple targets in the distance, and Zhu Qiyu led everyone back to their seats.

When the soldiers lit the fire, the hundred tigers rushed and fired arrows at the target five hundred paces away.

Ten groups of arrow wagons, a total of 1,000 rockets. Under the dense rain of arrows, there were really targets that were hit and knocked down.

Zhu Qiyu hugged Ning Xiang and said with a smile: "Don't say it, it's quite powerful, I really underestimated you, no wonder you dare to bet with me." ”

Ning Xiang smiled: "It's the first time I've seen the slave family, and I didn't know that the rocket was like this before today." It's just that Liu Chang swore an oath with the slave family, and the slave family helped him deceive his husband. ”

"Okay, okay, it's not in vain, I'm really an eye-opener. Our craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are really impressive, and we will reward them heavily. ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "It's not interesting to just give silver, what the craftsmen want, one is to leave a name in history, and the other is to ask an official to do it." ”
