The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Hai Rui got emotional and shouted,

The Great Northwest Campaign, the progress is so much less than expected. This strategy is already used to the Ming army's attack. All the elders of the invincible world, I can't accept it emotionally.

Yan Song smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Hu Zongxian is not an incompetent person, nor is Ren Huan and Ma Fang, but these three capable generals, with an army of 8, dare not go deep into Xinjiang. Why?

He pointed to the data on the battle report: "Most of the army's artillery ammunition is not enough for a base. It's not even enough for a small-scale contact battle! With this supply level, if Hu Zongxian dares to go deep into the cabinet, he will make him light the crime of reckless advance." !

Yang Bo smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't work hard, it's just that it's too difficult to supply. There is Datong Railway, and the supply can be transported directly to Shanxi in one go, saving the loss and time of thousands of miles. If it weren't for this, We can't get any better!"

Yan Song smiled lightly: "Just now, I heard that the top ten businessmen jointly signed a letter requesting the construction of the Great Northwest Railway? What's your opinion? That's great." Yang Bo felt relieved: "My first approval is because I don't know about this railway. Can you please do it as soon as possible?" If it's not built fast enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the Northwest.

The Northwest War will not be finished in one day." Yan Song said solemnly: "Judging from the national strength of the Raksha Kingdom and the ambition of Peter I, the Northwest War may take several years to end. We will definitely build this railway. Not a waste. "Nine Six Three"

Several elders nodded silently

Bao Zheng smiled wryly: "I don't understand, are the top ten businessmen the top ten benevolent people? Is there anything in the Northwest worth their investment? Will this railway be able to recoup its capital?

Yan Song smiled and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions. They have a lot of money and are self-willed. If they want to invest, our court can't ask for it.

Bao Zheng still had a gloomy expression on his face: "I'm just wondering why anyone is willing to do this Northwest Railway, which is obviously a money-losing business." If the court can't do it, give them some preferential policies and allow them to reduce or exempt some taxes.After all, this railway can solve the urgent need of the imperial court."

Yan Song also reported the excerpt of the Northwest Railway to Jiajing

Who knows, Jiajing has a different idea

Maybe it was because he had seen the power of railway freight, or maybe he was stimulated by the daily progress of the Beijing-Tianjin and Datong railways. Jiajing actually felt that the construction of this great Northwest Railway was so hard and the investment was so huge, it would be better to change it to the south. Investing in the construction of a railway from Shanghai to the land of fish and rice, his hometown Hubei, and making some contributions to the fellow villagers in Hubei can quickly recover the cost

Yan Aiqi, what use is this vast desert in the northwest to my Ming Dynasty? "

Jiajing frowned, and muttered: "I still don't understand why you are so keen on conquering the northwest of the king, and why you are so keen on this 5 million-dollar railway, why do you want to build it to the northwest? It's better to build it to my hometown Hubei. Hubei is a land of fish and rice, and some are rich. The ten lands and abundant production, coupled with the advantages of the Yangtze River waterway freight, this railway can directly link the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and can make better use of the advantages of the railway's large transport capacity, and accelerate the development of the central and southern parts of our Daming, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Yan Song frowned

This is the fundamental reason why Ming Dynasty did not regain Xinjiang for a long time.

Even the emperor felt that Xinjiang was a loss-making business with only investment and no return. How could Ming have any hope of regaining Xinjiang?

This can't be entirely blamed on the Ming emperors, short-sighted

Because Daming is still an agricultural society and agricultural civilization in general.

From the emperor to the ministers, the evaluation of the value of a piece of land by the Ming Dynasty is basically based on its agricultural value.

For example, the North China Plain, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, the Hubei Plain, and the Sichuan Basin

Needless to say, the emperors and ministers will find ways to control these incomparably rich lands of fish and rice. For this reason, they even did not hesitate to fight.The fundamental reason is that in the eyes of the Ming emperor, the Northeast is a piece of rich black land that can produce high grain yields.

In the chain of contempt of the Ming emperor, Daxibei is obviously in the most miserable position of the king.

In the northwest, there is no human population. Except for the desert, there is no agricultural value for thousands of miles.

In Jiajing's view, it is Mongolia, the Huihui, the Cossacks and other nomadic peoples who are interested in the vast but not rich barren land.

And the civilized and noble people of Daming are dismissive of working in such a rotten place

Although Daming has now entered industrial civilization, Jiajing's way of thinking has not changed much

In particular, Hu Zongxian led an army of 8 and spent national currency to conquer Xinjiang, but he fought with Aguba for more than a year, but he could only advance 200 miles. Jiajing doubted the value of this Xinjiang campaign.

If the fight goes well, Jiajing can still persist, but now it is clear that Aguba is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Raksha Kingdom standing behind Aguba is one of the four great empires on the earth.Jiajing's willingness to control the northwest and the Raksha country for a long time is even less than Yan Aiqing's. The so-called warlike country will perish.Jiajing said disapprovingly

Yan Song pouted

Farmer

This is Yan Song's evaluation of the Xinjiang issue in Jiajing

Looking at it right now, conquering Xinjiang is indeed an investment that costs money, troops, and time.

But it would be a big mistake if Xinjiang was handed over to Rakshasa and China lost nearly 300 million square kilometers.

From now on, ten lands will be priceless treasures!

Every inch is precious

Xinjiang will be rich in natural gas, oil ore in the future

These are of infinite value to the future development of Daming

Not to mention the great significance of controlling Xinjiang in terms of national defense

Occupying Xinjiang, Yan Song's next plan can be realized

As he said, the land to the west of Congling Ridge and 5.3 south of the Aral Sea belongs to Daming!

No less

If Daming is still as weak as it was more than ten years ago, Yan Song is powerless

But now, under Yan Song's hard work, Daming has become one of the most powerful empires on earth

Even North America on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has been half-swallowed by Daming Whale. Could it be that Mr. Yan Ge will let others take over the ten places in front of his house?joke

Yan Song was smiling, MMP in his heart

did not speak
