We had a wonderful time roasting whole lamb and boiling mutton on the grassland, and by the way, we also pushed forward the plan of building a grassland town to the north.
Well, this time it must be built to the North Sea.
Su Wu Shepherd's Beihai.
Liu Jin felt angry when he thought of the beautiful Beihai that was taken over by Brother Mao Zi and later renamed Lake Baikal. How could such a good place be so cheap for Mao Zi?
Therefore, it must be built, and it must be built to go to Beihai. In the future, we may even build a big city on Beihai and slowly develop the vast area north of Beihai.
After finishing things on the grassland, Liu Jin went east again, planning to visit Liaodong.
Liaodong is the next key development area.
It has good mountains and rivers and requires resources. This is a treasure land.
Surrounded by the Changbai Mountains, the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the Lesser Khingan Mountains on three sides, there is a large plain in the middle. The land is the most fertile black land. There are not many such good places in the world.
However, at this time, the Liaodong area was not well developed. One of the main reasons is that the weather here is relatively cold. It snows a lot in winter, sometimes very heavily.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Liaodong Dusi to manage Liaodong. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's son, Zhu Di, recruited the Jurchen tribe and established the Nurgan Dusi in the ninth year of Yongle (1411), which governed more than 130 areas.
Health Center.
In the 10th year of Xuande (1435), Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty withdrew the officials and garrisons sent by the Nurgan Dusi and allowed the Jurchen tribe leaders to take charge of these areas.
At this time, the Jurchen tribe was still dominated by the Ming Dynasty, but people in later generations know that from this time on, the Jurchen tribe actually began to grow and gradually took control of these places. This also paved the way for the later Jin Dynasty to gradually replace the Ming Dynasty.
North Korea laid hidden dangers by controlling the entire Northeast, and eventually succeeded in occupying Liaodong, and finally succeeded in taking over the Central Plains.
I have to say that all of this is actually a disaster planted by the Ming court itself, and it is the most authentic portrayal of the story of the farmer and the snake.
As mentioned earlier, the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains was eventually put down by the method of reforming the land and returning it to the locals.
But in Nurgan Dusi, the Ming Dynasty did the opposite and withdrew all the original officials and garrisons. Didn't this give the Jurchen tribe an opportunity to grow bigger?
People's ambitions continue to grow with the growth of strength.
Perhaps these Jurchen tribes did not necessarily have a rebellious heart at the beginning, but if you let it grow bigger and dominate one side for a long time, it becomes stronger and you become weaker, it will naturally become rebellious.
After Liu Jin carefully sorted out the Ming Dynasty's policies in Liaodong in his mind, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It was all his own death, and no one can blame him.
History always has too many similarities.
Throughout history, the Central Plains has been invaded and massacred by foreign races time and time again. In the final analysis, it was our own mistakes that gave our opponents a chance.
In the final analysis, the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty was due to the fact that the Jiedushi had been given too much power for a long time. The local military, political and financial powers were all in one hand. In the long run, it would be strange if it did not turn into a separate feudal system.
Once people gain power, their ambitions will expand.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty was too confident in its trust in foreign races. Don't you know that those who are not from our race must have different minds?
During the Western Jin Dynasty, how did the Wu~~~Hu~~~Rebellion~~ Hua happen?
Several princes of the Sima family fought over each other and then introduced foreign armies. In the end, the Sima family did not end well and implicated countless Chinese descendants.
The Ming Dynasty also made the same mistake. They should not have withdrawn all the officials and garrison troops, and should not have allowed the Jurchen tribe to take over all the power in a local government.
Giving them all this is like digging a time bomb for yourself. When they are weak, they will naturally obey your words, but once they become strong and you are weak, they will inevitably bite you severely.
Now that Liu Jin is coming to develop the Liaodong region, he will naturally have to deal with the Jurchen tribe in the Liaodong region.
The Jurchen tribe at this time was divided into three major tribes: Savage Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen.
The Barbarian Jurchens are mainly distributed in the north of the Heilongjiang River Basin, the Haixi Jurchens are mainly distributed in the south and east of Heilongjiang, and the Changbai Mountain area, and the Jianzhou Jurchens are mainly distributed in the south of the Changbai Mountains and later in the Liaoning area.
From the distribution map, we can know that the Jianzhou Jurchens are in the south, the Savage Jurchens are in the north, and the Haixi Jurchens are in the middle. The contacts between Jianzhou Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty are the closest.
Moreover, the place where Jianzhou Jurchen is located is also the earliest developed place in Liaodong, which also laid the foundation for the rise of Qianqing later. Without these places developed by Liaodong Dusi, Jianzhou Jurchen would not have a climate at all.
"The Jurchen tribe here must be dealt with."
"Either like the grassland tribes, the leaders and nobles of the tribes go to the capital to retire, while the tribesmen below migrate to the plains for farming or simply migrate out."
Liu Jin, who traveled through time, hated Rat Tail with all his heart. It was precisely because of Qi Qing's rule that the backbones of the Chinese people were broken and their spiritual inheritance was cut off, which caused people in later generations to be extremely unconfident.
There are many people who worship foreign things.
Look at the Ming Dynasty now, with a rough backbone. When they see foreigners who are barbarians, they all have a look of indifference on their faces.
Later generations concealed the truth from the Qing Dynasty and revised history, making all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty useless, incompetent, and indulgent in lust.
Some like to eat, some like to fight crickets, and some like carpentry.
Total disregard for the national economy has left the treasury empty and the military exhausted. They do not know how to care for the people, taxation is heavy and heavy, and the people's lives are in dire straits.
Is this really the case, so that the dynasty can last for nearly 300 years?
Matteo Ricci, an Italian, came to the Ming Dynasty to preach in 1582. After traveling around, he settled in Beijing, the political center.
In his eyes, the Ming Dynasty was extremely rich in products, the people had luxurious food and clothing, and the quality of the population was extremely high. Every citizen's face was filled with smiles and confidence.
In a book he wrote, he commented on the Ming Dynasty at that time, a noble nation and a great country.
This kind of evaluation can be said to be very high, and it is enough to show how confident the people of the Ming Dynasty were at that time.
But when it came time to conceal the truth, even during the so-called prosperous period of Qianlong, when the British came to Beijing at that time, what they saw was an army that was like beggars, and the people were skinny, numb and sluggish, like walking corpses.
This is the huge difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
A country that was full of self-confidence and was the greatest nation and the most powerful country at that time, but a country whose spiritual backbone was broken and completely devoid of any color or spirit.
Mite Qing is like a vampire, lying on this great nation, eating more and more of itself, but this great nation has been sinking for hundreds of years.
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help clenching his fists.
But if you think about it again, you can blame Mite Qing entirely for this.
Everything has a cause and effect. If the Ming Dynasty had not allowed the growth of the Jurchen tribe, naturally there would not have been anything that happened later. The histories are all surprisingly similar.
If future generations mourn and fail to take note of it, they will also make future generations mourn for future generations again.
Now that he has traveled through time, Liu Jin naturally cannot allow such things to happen again.
Liaodong must be developed, and these Jurchen tribes must be dealt with, otherwise they will be a disaster.
Going all the way east, Liu Jin spent several days arriving in Guangning, where the Liaodong Dusi Guards Station was located.
"See Mr. Liu~"
Jiang Ji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, knew the news in advance, so he also brought people to greet him in advance.
"Master Jiang~"
Liu Jin also smiled and returned the favor to Jiang Ji.
"Sir, you have worked hard all the way. I have prepared a banquet for everyone to wash away the dust."
Jiang Ji was very polite and respectful to Liu Jin, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Who doesn't know Liu Jin's name now?
What's more important is that Liu Jin is already a fourth-rank official at a young age, and he is still working in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. He is also the number one scholar and a popular person around Emperor Hongzhi. He has a bright future.
He, Jiang Ji, is just a commander-in-chief, and now Emperor Hongzhi is reforming the military system, changing the original military household guard system into a compulsory military service system. Whether he, the commander-in-chief, can find a good job depends on the arrangements above.
.
It is rare for Liu Jin to come to Liaodong. If he can seize the opportunity and ride on the big tree of Liu Jin, Jiang Ji will have a chance of promotion.
As for making a fortune, the Liu Jin in front of me is the God of Wealth. Anyone who follows Liu Jin has made a fortune.
Emperor Hongzhi was able to reform the military system and raise such a huge army in the Ming Dynasty. All the money was earned by Liu Jin. Otherwise, even if Emperor Hongzhi took back military power, he would not be able to change the military household guard system.
"Then thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
This time when I came to Liaodong, I had asked Emperor Hongzhi for instructions in advance. The name was to come to Liaodong to inspect the situation in Liaodong and prepare for the subsequent development of the Liaodong region.
Now that the problem of the northern grasslands has been solved, Emperor Hongzhi also set his sights on Liaodong under Liu Jin's persuasion.
This place is too close to the capital, and it is also located in the Bohai Bay, and is connected to North Korea. For such an important place, Liu Jin only stated its importance.
Not only did Emperor Hongzhi think that the issue of Liaodong should be taken seriously, but many ministers in the court also believed that Liaodong should be highly valued and developed.
If Liaodong can be developed like the Central Plains, it will mean that there will be an additional barrier to the security of the Beijing-Tianjin region. Even if problems arise on the grasslands in the future, Liaodong will be able to help solve them, plus the Great Wall
blocking and guarding.
The Beijing-Tianjin area can truly sit back and relax. It no longer has to worry about being attacked one day and approaching the capital as before.
