Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Therefore, the emperor set up a school inspector's yamen, from the center to the county, to educate people and do educational affairs. If such a vertical system is spread out, it will represent the interests of thousands of school inspectors.

The same is true for Haimao.

If only relying on private business activities, the upper class dignitaries of Daheng will not get much benefit, or in other words, only a small part of the upper class dignitaries can get benefits, and most of the dignitaries cannot see or get it.

There is no doubt that the policy of sea ban, or the fact that Jiangnan maritime merchants used the policy of sea ban to monopolize, as in the Ming Dynasty, will inevitably happen.

Therefore, the reliance of maritime trade and commerce, the navy, should not only be a matter of the sailor's martial arts, but also a matter of the entire Daheng martial arts.

Only by allowing the entire Daheng Wuxun to participate in the navy's affairs, the maritime trade interests represented by the navy will not be monopolized by a certain group of people.

And Daheng Wuxun, who are all involved in the sea trade, will naturally be the vested interest class of the sea trade, and will inevitably protect the interests of the sea trade.

Wu Xun participated in the maritime trade and promoted the maritime trade with his rights, which brought in tax revenue and would inevitably enrich the national treasury. In this way, civil servants would naturally become supporters of the maritime trade policy.

In a country, civil servants and generals are all supporters of a policy, and this policy is a long-term national policy that no one can violate.

Even if the king of later generations has a brain twitch and wants to ban the sea, civil servants and generals with vested interests will not be allowed.

And as long as the sea trade is open normally, it means that the communication with the world will not stagnate, even if Daheng lags behind in the future, it will not lag behind too much.

This confrontation became more and more full of gunpowder, and when it seemed that there was no end to it, the emperor then said: "Okay!"

With just two words, the hustle and bustle in the tent suddenly dissipated, and all the warriors subconsciously looked at the emperor.

"The importance of a navy is clear to all of you."

The emperor got up, walked to the map, and pointed to the vast land beyond Daheng on the map: "Xiyi is a small country, and a navy can sail tens of thousands of miles of waters to plunder the wealth of the world."

"My Daheng is boundless and boundless. How can I fall behind others!"

"The expansion of the navy is imperative..."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked around at the Wu Xun generals present: "The naval division has expanded greatly, and there are vacancies for generals. The Naval Division of the Martial Arts Academy will recruit students from various armies recently, and all generals can sign up..."

After a few short sentences, the emperor firmly settled the matter, and Li Dingguo and several naval generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the Son of Heaven changed the subject and completely shifted the topic from the matter of the Navy.

"The expansion of the navy should be a long-term strategy, not a temporary success."

"The current domestic focus is on agriculture and commerce."

Those two sentences made Wu Xun present a little puzzled.

It is naturally clear that the navy is not a temporary achievement.

How long it will take for the expansion of several main naval forces can be clearly seen by referring to the Jiangnan and Denglai naval forces.

With the support of massive manpower and material resources, several shipyards in Daheng worked day and night, and it took so many years for the two major naval divisions in Jiangnan to take shape.

Even if it is unified today, it is obviously not something that can be completed in a year or two to build a few more main naval forces from scratch. The shipyard, the battleship is gone.

And domestic governance, agriculture and business...

The policy of separating the military from the government has just been decided, so what does it have to do with them?

Fortunately, the emperor was not there. Wu Xun was puzzled for too long, so he said again: "Although the focus is not on the military, military affairs cannot be relaxed."

Between the words, the eyes of the emperor circulated on the map, and finally, they looked at the three places of southwest, northwest, and true north.

"Southwest, northwest, and grassland, these three directions are the focus of land military affairs now and in the future."

When it came to their duties, Wu Xun who had different expressions on the scene now became more serious.

"The southwestern border is mainly the land of Yunnan and Guizhou."

The emperor looked at Yan Shun who had already got up: "There are many chieftains in the southwestern border. First, we should focus on stability, and repair roads from points to areas..."

"I understand."

After the emperor said a few words, Yan Shun immediately understood that, just as he had thought before, the military center of gravity was not in Yunnan and Guizhou in a short period of time, but in the north.

Just as Yan Shun thought, after the Son of Heaven briefly set the policy direction of Yunnan and Guizhou, he pointed to the grassland and the northwest.

The emperor's gaze also turned to the other three Dukes, Duke Jing, Duke Liao, and Duke Ding, all of whom were commanders-in-chief of the three armies who had fought fiercely in northern Xinjiang for many years.

Seeing this, the three princes looked at each other, and immediately, the person who spoke was not even expected by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lin Dan Khan has led his army southwards to plunder our Daheng border many times, but every time he has made no achievements at all, but suffered heavy losses."

"Today's grassland has been devastated by last year's cold winter. Many tribes refused to submit to Lin Danhan's jurisdiction and conquered each other. Today's grassland is also chaotic. It is the general trend that the grassland will split again..."

"In this way, if it's just a scourge of leveling the grassland, it's not too difficult for our military power..."

"But I think that the grassland is easy to level, but the northwest is difficult!"

When the voice fell, the tent fell silent, and the eyes of all the warriors seemed to be focused on Duke Ding Zhou Yuji who was standing with his fists clasped.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent seemed inexplicably weird.

After the Liaodong War that year, the dignified Duke was sent directly to North Korea, but this is still vivid.

Although I was transferred back to Shaanxi recently, it seems to be the first time I have met the emperor...

After a while, the voice of the Son of Heaven came out faintly.

"Tell me."

With these words, the strange atmosphere in the tent was also broken, and the standing upright Dingguo Gong was obviously relieved, and then bowed to the emperor: "I think that Lin Danhan today is by no means the enemy of my Daheng. , my Daheng only needs to block the border every year, implement the strategy of dividing and attracting, and then send partial divisions to harass, Lin Danhan will be overwhelmed sooner or later..."

"After so many years, it is easy to pacify the grassland."

"But once Lin Dan Khan is wiped out, our army will be unable to garrison the grassland. The grassland is chaotic and empty, and the large deserts and high mountains in the northwest may take advantage of the situation, and then disrupt the grassland. It will be our great enemy..."

"I believe that the strategy of dividing and wooing should not be applied to Mongolia. It should also be used to divide and woo the ministries of the Northwest and Western Regions, and let their dogs eat dogs..."

"My Daheng is taking advantage of this to infiltrate and operate in the northwest. When the time comes in the future, we will first settle in the northwest, and then wipe out the troubles of the grassland..."

The emperor asked again: "Tell me the details of the Northwest."

"Your Majesty, the land in the northwest is mainly ruled by four major tribes, namely the Junggar tribe, the Heshuote tribe, the Turhut tribe and the Durbert tribe. The four tribes are allied with each other. Under the major tribes, Another small tribe of vassals..."

"Among them, Batur, the leader of the Junggar Tribe, was ambitious. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, he has been conquering everywhere, expanding the territory, and even fought many wars with the Tsarist Russia..."

"It's just that the leader of the Northwest alliance today is still the leader of the alliance, Ozier Tuhan, but most of the ministries have their own ideas, and there are many conflicts in the dark."

"The Houjin remnant tribe who fled back then is now under the Junggar tribe. It is said that Dorgon was received by the leader of the Junggar tribe, Batur..."

"I think that with the situation in the northwest, sooner or later there will be great chaos. Under the conquest of various ministries, sooner or later there will be unity, and it will definitely become a trouble in my heart..."

"Besides, if the northwest is uneven, the grassland will never be stable..."

After Zhou Yuji finished speaking, when he saw the emperor's pensive expression, he couldn't help feeling uneasy again.

Since Daheng established his army, he has always been invincible and invincible!

His defeat, amidst countless victories, was too conspicuous and shameful!

Only with my mother's unquestionable military exploits can I wash away the greatest shame since the founding of Daheng's army!

And he is located in Shaanxi, Shaanxi... that is, the land of Guanzhong, the land of Guanzhong, adjacent to the northwest, and the northwest...

The Huns in the Han Dynasty, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and now the northwest of Daheng... also have great enemies.

Ping the Northwest, set the Western Regions, attack the grasslands, and even seal the wolves to live in Xu...

This battle achievement is enough to wash away his shame.

Let's see now, Son of Heaven, whether he agrees with his strategy.

First pacify the northwest, then the Western Regions, and then the grasslands...

……

Chapter 611 Make a decision

There was silence in the tent, and all the military generals were full of thoughts.

The land in the northwest has been a forgotten land for hundreds of years.

In the Ming Dynasty, the enemy was in the north, in the grassland.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, when the military power was at its peak, Bei Yuan was caught and beaten violently. During the Hongwu Dynasty, the northern expedition to the grassland was made thirteen times.

Forcibly beating up Bei Yuan, who dominated the world, to the point of breaking up.

After the change of Jing Nan, although Zhu Di also caught the grassland and beat it fiercely, it's just that Zhu Di's beating the grassland was different from Hong Wu's beating the grassland.

Once Hong Wu marched northward, no matter who he caught, he would beat him up!

As for Zhu Di Beizheng, whoever is disobedient beats whoever is, and he still pulls the obedient ones to beat the disobedient ones.

But when Zhu Di died, the shackles on the grassland were instantly broken. Not only did the king of later generations fail to rise, but a civil fortress change completely declared that the Ming Dynasty had completely lost control of the grassland. Replacing defense with offense has become a turtle-style defense.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the grasslands didn't understand, and in the corner of Gada with white mountains and black waters, Houjin Nuzhen appeared again, and became Ming's confidant.

Under such circumstances, the land in the northwest, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, naturally has no sense of existence.

For the Wu Xun present, although they have fought in the South and the North for so many years, they have never touched the Northwest, and there are very few people who really pay attention.

At this moment, hearing Duke Ding's strategic plan, most people are unavoidably surprised.

The emperor stared at the map in the tent, and also frowned slightly, showing the meaning of thinking.

The so-called employing people is not suspicious, and suspecting people is not necessary. Since he reused Zhou Yuji again, he naturally wouldn't have too much suspicion of Zhou Yuji.

This strategic deployment, just as he expected at the beginning, is to pacify the Northwest, fix the Western Regions, and destroy Mongolia.

If it is implemented in this way and can be completed, it is naturally the best strategy for the Beiding Grassland!

After all, after so many years of fighting with the Mongolian grassland tribes, only the tribes in the southern and northern grasslands really fought against Daheng.

From the Monan tribe that was initially allied with Houjin, to Lin Danhan's Mobei tribe, and now Lin Danhan's so-called unified grassland, in fact, there are only two grasslands in Monan and Mobei.

The Moxi Grassland, that is, the grassland desert bordering Tibet, and a considerable part of the Tibetan land of later generations now belong to the Moxi Land. The Western Regions in the traditional sense also mostly refer to the land in this direction.

According to Zhou Yuji, the four major tribes in the Northwest occupy the Moxi Grassland and Tibet. Later, during the Qing Dynasty, the Northwest Rebellion of the Three Dynasties, the Battle of Ping Zhun Geer, and the chaos were all in this place.

It is very clear that even if Daheng Beizheng wiped out Lin Danhan and the grassland has no leader since then, the unscathed but ambitious Moxi Mongolia will obviously never let go of the opportunity to take over Mobei and Monan.

The scourge of the grassland will inevitably repeat itself.

Undoubtedly, Daheng's Northern Expedition still helps Moxi Mongolia to get rid of its opponents, just as he used to give Lin Danhan an opportunity to expand rapidly and dominate the grassland in order to destroy Houjin as soon as possible, which became a disaster.

Obviously, whether it is to control the Western Regions of Tibet, or to solve the scourge of the grassland.

Planning for the Northwest must also be put on the agenda.

And this is also in line with his long-term strategic expectations.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

The emperor turned around, looked at the warriors in the tent, and said.

There was a moment of silence in the tent before Lord Yasukuni spoke out first:

"The terrain in the northwest is steep, the land is barren, and the march is difficult, and the Mongolian Lindan Khan is powerful, and it is even more difficult to march by detour."

Speaking of this, Lord Jingguo paused for a while, glanced at Duke Ding Zhou Yuji at the side, and said again: "But what Duke Ding said is not unreasonable, and he gradually figured it out, disrupting the situation in the grasslands of Mobei and Monan, and infiltrating the northwest land. , carry out the policy of win over and divide."

"And I, Daheng, stationed troops in the northwest, repaired roads, immigrated to the border, and prepared for his departure to the northwest in the morning."

"As for Northern Xinjiang, elite cavalry can also be dispatched to wait for the opportunity to attack the disobedient tribes in the grassland and completely disrupt the grasslands of Monan, Mobei, and Moxi."

"The time is right in the future, whether it is to send troops from the northwest first, or directly step on the grassland, even if two armies go out together, there are enough preparations..."

The voice of Lord Jingguo fell, and the eyes of the emperor turned away. Duke Liao also stood up and said: "I think that when planning the northwest, the first thing to do is to manage the land of Shaanxi and Sichuan in the northwest. Now, the provinces in the northwest are full of natural disasters, and the people are in dire straits. ..."

"Nowadays, it is difficult for the garrisons in the northwestern provinces to be self-sufficient. If they plan to plot northwest Tibet, it may be difficult."

"I believe that the most urgent thing is to plan disaster relief projects. Only when the disaster relief projects are completed and order is restored in the northwest provinces can we plan to plan for Northwest Tibet..."

"However, what Duke Dingguo said is not unreasonable. Everything will be established if it is forewarned, and it will be abandoned if it is not forewarned. I think that since Moxi Mongolia exists and is powerful, it will inevitably become a permanent disaster for me in the future..."

Although the two Dukes of the State successively made admonitions, although they each expressed their own opinions, it was obvious that they all maintained an attitude of approval for Duke Ding Zhou Yuji's Northwest Strategy.

When the last Duke of Yue, Yan Shun, stood up and demoted and praised, the emperor still didn't understand that these few princes had obviously reached a consensus, and they wanted to give the prince a chance to wash away his shame.

And this opportunity is the Northwest Tibet, the Western Regions!

The emperor glanced casually at the four princes of Daheng standing in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Yuji who had been stuck in the tent from the beginning: "The most important thing in the northwest is still in the process of disaster relief, planning for the northwest Tibet. Take it slowly, don't rush it."

"My minister... according to the order!"

Zhou Yuji couldn't hide his agitation, and bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven, his voice became a little hoarse.

The emperor nodded, and randomly looked at Duke Liao:
