"The Ming Dynasty built more than 16,000 miles of the Great Wall. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were wasted. Although it resisted foreign invasion to a certain extent and protected domestic security, it did make people corrupt in the safety."
Looking at the Great Wall, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, building the Great Wall is a helpless move. Nomads are natural cavalry. They come and go without a trace. If we don't build it well, then our Ming Dynasty will never have peace."
Wang Chengen replied.
"Haha, look at it. In 30 years at most, this Great Wall will become a decoration. I will conquer the grassland in one fell swoop and add it to the territory of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youjian said with a smile.
For inspection and inspection, it is natural to go to the area around the Great Wall.
As for the Santun Camp and the garrison, Zhu Youjian has not gone there yet.
It's not because of other reasons, but because Zhu Youjian arrived early, the military order from the imperial court has not been issued yet.
Although Zhu Youjian can go in if he wants to, the rules are the rules.
What's the point of having rules if they are trampled on wantonly?
"Since ancient times, the people in the border areas have been living in hardship. On the one hand, it is because of the bitter cold and low income in the border areas, and on the other hand, it is because of the invasion of foreign tribes.
But have you heard of alien invasion in recent years?
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said, "The barbarians are just like beasts, fearing power but not being virtuous. But the officials of the Manchu Dynasty truly said that benevolence and righteousness will bring peace."
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was kind enough to the foreign races, but in exchange for it, they were always beaten by the autumn wind.
Now, Zhu Dingguo had only massacred a few barbarian tribes fighting against the autumn wind, and they did not dare to come again.
It can be seen from this that treating foreigners with kindness and justice in exchange for peace is a joke.
Only if you are strong enough can you be ruthless.
If a foreigner gives me a knife, I will destroy his tribe.
Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the country’s borders. "
"Then why did Your Majesty violate the previous blockade policy of the imperial court and sell a large number of swords and fire guns to the Mongols?"
"That's because I need the fur and dried meat in their hands, and at the same time, I need them to fight with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the west, so that we can win and stabilize the territory of the Mughal Empire.
The Mughal Empire is a natural planting land. As long as the Mughal Empire's territory is taken over and water conservancy is built, at least 20 million people can be fed.
Moreover, the Mughal Empire was a feudal autocratic dynasty established in India by Babur, a descendant of the Turkic Mongolian Timur.
I have a bloody feud with my Ming Dynasty.
However, although the Mughal Empire is now a bit chaotic, it is indeed the time to become strong, but they are almost done. Once my layout is completed, it will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
You don’t have to worry about the Mongols in the north. As long as our Ming Dynasty remains stable, they will be the sword in my Ming Dynasty’s hand. I opened markets, organized caravans, and purchased a large amount of dried meat and animal skins from the Mongols along with grain, silk, tea, and other items.
This not only provided the soldiers with more meat, but also reduced their desire to go south.
Give weapons to those tribes who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty,
Letting their children go to school is also to cause chaos within them. Later, the whole of Mongolia was annexed at a smaller cost. "
"Your Majesty, what do you need in the wild land to the north?"
"Haha, from a secular perspective, there are huge mineral deposits buried under tadpoles in many places in the north. If they are not taken into the hands of Ming Dynasty, how can they be left to the enemy?"
