Chapter 2281 Step by step and go straight to the ground
Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture are eager to try. It is not their turn to have a hand in the development of mineral resources, but how many biological resources are there in this unexplored land, and how many of these can be converted into food and medicine?
Li Xingchen was not surprised by the "really delicious" expressions on these guys.
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce will definitely be able to get what they want. The Ministry of Agriculture may also be able to discover some Tibetan medicine and study it and use it for medical treatment. After all, its principles are very similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but the Ministry of Agriculture will probably be disappointed.
There is only grass growing on this plateau, so don’t even think about what excellent crops you can find. How can something like highland barley compare to the grains of the Central Plains? It is just the only plant that can be naturally cultivated in the plateau area.
That’s all.
However, Li Xingchen will not stop the Ministry of Agriculture from conducting inspections and explorations.
At this stage, for Han officials, the most important thing is to learn how to explore, rather than what kind of results they can ultimately obtain.
The process is more important than the result.
What Li Xingchen is really worried about now is how to occupy and develop the Tuyuhun land.
Murong Xiaojun looked at the smiling faces of the ministers and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
There are things about Tuyuhun that deserve the attention of big men, which is actually a good thing.
The big man will not let Tuyuhun go. This is something everyone knows.
After His Majesty founded the country, he never suffered a defeat. Later, the Northern Expedition defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty and unified the world, making the Han Dynasty the new overlord of this land in the past three hundred years.
But at this moment, Tuyuhun came directly to the door.
Face riding?
Although the Han Dynasty finally defeated Tuyuhun and regained Hexi, it was not over yet.
In the propaganda of the Han Dynasty, Hexi was originally a Han territory. Now it is necessary to regain the Hexi Corridor. No matter the government or the opposition, they did not feel the satisfaction of revenge in regaining the Hexi Corridor.
Tuyuhun took away the territory left by my ancestors, and we took it back first, going back and forth, which was indeed offset.
But what about Tuyuhun's previous attack on Wuwei and An Ding's hatred?
This can only be repaid by taking Fuqi City and destroying Tuyuhun.
Murong Xiaojun also knew that Murong Shifu insisted on attacking the Han Dynasty at that time, but there was no way to do it. The acute conflicts in the country needed to be transferred out. At the same time, Murong Shifu also needed a big victory, even if he retreated obediently later, to prove that he had the ability.
He is qualified to become the king of Tuyuhun, otherwise his position may not be replaced by Liang Qucong or whoever.
Murong Xiaojun even knew that if Murong Shifu was asked to make another choice, he would probably do it again.
To quench thirst by drinking poison, you have to drink it first and then have time to find the antidote.
But since he did this, Murong Xiaojun was already prepared that the Tuyuhun royal family would become a thorn in the eyes of the Han Dynasty.
If the Han Dynasty had no interest in the land of Tuyuhun, then the problem would become very simple. The Han army rushed into Fuqi City, burned down this important plateau town, and then beheaded the descendants of the Murong family one by one and told the rest
The Tuyuhun tribe, this is the fate of those who resisted the Han.
These heads are of little use anyway, and it is good to use them to establish authority. At least they can ensure the tranquility of the northwest frontier for several generations.
In that case, no matter what efforts Murong Xiaojun made, it would be unnecessary.
The big men must need their heads to prove that this conquest is meaningful, instead of going on an expedition and gaining nothing.
The military needs to use their heads as an explanation to the government and the opposition.
And if the big man can get something, especially if he can find rich minerals on the Tuyuhun territory, then the big man's attention will be attracted to this. At that time, Murong will actively lead the big man to search for minerals and help
The great Han ordered the various tribes in Tuyuhun to obey the great Han's command and dispatch, which would be a great achievement.
The merits and demerits were balanced, so naturally no one cared about whether Murong had to die.
Even Li Xingchen didn't mind taking Murong as an example, telling the kings of other countries that as long as you cooperate with the big man, those who should surrender will surrender, those who want to resist will just show up, and finally give up the country's mineral resources and so on.
If you send it here, it will be so delicious and delicious, and the court will not do anything to you.
Do not believe?
Then look at Murong. When Murong was so aggressive, as long as he cooperated with the work, wouldn't he still be living well?
If the land and people in Tuyuhun are valuable, then the Murong clan can save the fire and even more people.
Murong Xiaojun suppressed his excitement and continued:
"The Celestial Empire wanted to capture and surrender Tuyuhun. I thought that we should attack step by step and advance steadily towards Fuqi City from the three directions of Huangshui, Wuwei and Zhangye. However, by doing this step by step, we were able to control the surrounding tribes and make them aware of the might of the Han Dynasty.
"Government is the meaning of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the imperial court should have elites all the way to Fuqi City, succeed in one attack, and be in the center to take care of all directions."
Li Xingchen immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
The expressions of Zhang Xutuo, Yan Pi and others were very strange. They exchanged looks and seemed to understand what the other was thinking.
The dignified Tuyuhun think tank, a prime minister-like figure, was currently racking his brains to help the Han think about how to deal with his own country.
Is there anything more ironic than this?
What's more important is that Murong Xiaojun showed his willingness and even wanted the big man to take action quickly.
Your Majesty is really becoming more and more skilled at controlling people's hearts.
A scare and a smile made Murong Xiaojun forget everything.
But in the final analysis, Murong Xiaojun had too little knowledge and was too eager to protect the Murong family, so he was confused for a moment and was completely led away by Li Xingchen. However, if he puts himself in his shoes, Zhang Xutuo and others are also
A smart person, but he doesn't think he can do any better than Murong Xiaojun.
"That's right, but what does it mean to take steps step by step?" Li Xinchen asked directly.
He understood Murong Xiaojun's intention.
Tuyuhun is a scattered nomadic alliance. Taking Fuqi City will only mark the demise of the Murong clan. The rest of the tribes scattered around will do whatever they want. Historically, the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun, but it did not prevent the rise of Tubo.
Well, it was even precisely because there was no threat from Tuyuhun that Tubo grew rapidly.
Therefore, if you want to really turn Tuyuhun into the territory of the Han Dynasty, you need to control these scattered tribes. Of course, this cannot delay the opportunity to take over Fuqi City. Now Murong Fuyun should have just stabilized Fuqi City.
The situation in Qicheng is also a time of confusion. If we advance quickly with light troops, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one battle.
These two actions are not actually in conflict.
After the capture of Fuqi City, Tuyuhun's various tribes suddenly lost their backbone, which naturally made them easier to be subdued by the Han Dynasty.
After all, it was Murong's own, so Li Xinchen couldn't help but applaud this move.
