In the sixth year of the Tianqi revelation, the situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty was generally stable, and unstable social factors were largely eliminated. A large number of people immigrated to the Northeast, solving the local survival pressure and obtaining new resources.&1t;/p>

Shandong has also begun to carry out reforms, and various reform measures have begun to be implemented. Strict crackdown on gangsters has sorted out the unstable factors in Shandong.&1t;/p>

With the continued reform in Shandong, more jobs can be generated and more labor can be absorbed from surrounding provinces.&1t;/p>

The largest explosive barrel natural border military households, now the nine borders have been continuously laid off, leaving only the three towns of Gansu, Ningxia and Guyuan.&1t;/p>

The remaining three town border troops were also very stable at this time, because the imperial court directly distributed food to the border military households every month to ensure that they could eat enough.&1t;/p>

At the same time, under the strong publicity of the court, the military households of the border troops in these three towns were very much looking forward to the abolition of border towns, which means they can transform into state-owned enterprise workers or immigrate to obtain land.&1t;/p>

The explosive barrel of Jiubian was basically solved. In the end, the living conditions of the border troops in the three towns were still OK. The main explosive barrel was Yansui Town, which was previously abolished.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youzhao decided to sack and withdraw the remaining three border towns within two years. It is not easy to arrange the place to settle them.&1t;/p>

After some land division in the Northeast, it is already relatively saturated. It is not that there is no land, but the infrastructure becomes worse the northward, and the land is producing less due to the cold climate.&1t;/p>

However, it is possible to immigrate to the northeastern region, but it is too cold and bitter.&1t;/p>

Australia can immigrate, but after the Ming Dynasty expanded in the South China Sea, there was not enough merchant ships, so it would take several years to wait for large-scale immigration to Australia.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the immigration method to Australia is mainly immigrant workers. The main force in opening Australia is still state-owned enterprises, with fewer individuals.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao kept the border troops of these three towns. He also mainly immigrated these border troops to the Western Regions, which is the Xinjiang region in later generations.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao has been peeking at the Western Regions occupied by the Yarkand Khanate for a long time.&1t;/p>

At this time, the highway was being built to Gansu. This project has been in operation for two years. By the sixth year of the Tianqi period, most of the road had been repaired. This road was not very difficult to repair. After all, there were official roads, which were only necessary to reinforce and widen.&1t;/p>

Mainly, Beizhili has relatively fast development, and the demand for cotton has been increasing year by year.&1t;/p>

No matter how much cotton is, it is not afraid of exporting textiles to overseas. North Korea, Japan, countries in the Indochina Peninsula, islands in the South China Sea, and Portuguese all need textiles. Even if these markets are met, textiles can be exported to India, the Middle East, and Africa.&1t;/p>

Textiles are a very broad market. With the development of steam engines, with the investment of national strength, and the clear research direction provided by Zhu Youxiao, the performance of steam engines has been improved every month.&1t;/p>

Obviously, the industrial revolution will begin in less than a few years.&1t;/p>

If there is not enough raw materials supply, it will be a very embarrassing situation. Not only is the overseas textile market extremely broad, but the income of ordinary people will increase with the implementation of reforms in the Ming Dynasty. The demand for textiles will also increase, among which cotton textiles will be the vast majority. Silk and hemp are obviously not as good as cotton demand.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao is now taking a multi-pronged approach to cotton supply. First, it increases the internal cotton planting area, and at the same time establishes a large-scale cotton planting industry in Nanyang and Australia. At the same time, it increases the export tariffs on textiles, first meet internal demand and then partially export. The added value of export must be high enough, and it is not possible to be only a little higher than the price in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The last step is to establish a cotton producing area in the Western Regions.&1t;/p>

However, the Western Regions were occupied by the Yarkand Khanate at this time and did not belong to the border of the Ming Dynasty. With the construction of the highway to Gansu, Zhu Youxiao had already begun to prepare for a war against the Yarkand Khanate, thereby regaining the Western Regions and restoring the territory of the Western Regions.&1t;/p>

Just when Zhu Youxiao was preparing to attack the Yarkand Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate invaded Yumen Pass this winter and tried to break through to the pass and enter the Ming Dynasty to rob.&1t;/p>

It has been about four years since the Ming Dynasty launched a trade blockade on the Yarkand Khanate. Under the Ming Dynasty's blockade, the Yarkand Khanate could not even obtain iron tools. With the Ming Dynasty destroying the Later Jin and defeating Mongolia, the Yarkand Khanate firmly prohibited the export of war horses to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming Dynasty blocked trade was indeed a troublesome thing. Not to mention silk tea, they could not even get iron tools for eating. Of course, they could buy it from Wusizang and the Mongols, but after all, they were second-deao vendors, and the prices were very high. In order to solve this problem, the Yarkand Khanate decided to face the Ming Dynasty, hoping to make the Ming Dynasty compromise through military operations and reopen border trade.&1t;/p>

The Yarkand Khanate came in a fierce manner and had strife with 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry. However, it was a tragedy when it arrived at Yumen Pass. Not only was the wall so high, Yumen Pass also replaced it with heavy artillery transported from Northern Zhili. The heavy artillery on the city wall was bombarded with scare of the cavalry of the Yarkand Khanate.&1t;/p>

These heavy artillery are really too scary, not only powerful, but also have a long range. In addition to heavy artillery, there is also a row of medium-sized artillery on the city wall.&1t;/p>

The Yarkand Khanate was a nomadic model. Although it was not as powerful as the Mongols, the nations on horseback were not good at siegeing cities. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of building high walls directly crushed those nomadic peoples in terms of productivity. No nomadic people could defeat several Ming cities by forcing their attacks. Even the Qing Dynasty who later entered the pass, they also drove away the country captured by the Han army.&1t;/p>

What's more, there are so many advanced artillery artillery, which has crushed these nomadic people into slag in terms of productivity.&1t;/p>

In the end, this invasion of the Yarkand Khanate turned into a farce of a slight start. They did not dare to bypass Yumen Pass. Although Yumen Pass could still be bypassed, what if the Ming army cut off the back road and closed the door and beat the dog?&1t;/p>

And after seeing the Ming army's sharp firearms, they were all frightened. Even if they broke into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they obviously could not break through any city.&1t;/p>

Every city in the Ming Dynasty has a wall, but its heights are different, but they are all difficult to crack. If these powerful cannons are installed on these cities, there is no way to get close to them.&1t;/p>

After all considerations, the Yarkand Khanate had to quit the war.&1t;/p>

However, the Yarkand Khanate took the initiative to invade Yumen Pass of the Ming Dynasty, which was a huge news for Zhu Youxiao. They all came to the doorstep. Isn’t this the best reason for sanctions?&1t;/p>

Any military action must find a reason, then hold up the banner of justice and package itself as a representative of justice. Zhu Youxiao was worried that he could not find any reason to destroy the Yarkand Khanate. He originally planned to play the history card and promote the territory of China since the history of the Western Regions. As a result, the Yarkand Khanate itself committed suicide and took the initiative to invade the Yumen Pass of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

This is simply a pillow when you sleep.&1t;/p>

After the Yarkand Khanate stopped the quarantine, it was not known that they had already hit the gun on their own initiative. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
