MTL - Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei-Chapter 674 where the value lies!

In September of the eighth year of Zhaowu, with the official surrender of the Heshuo Special Department, Daheng's suzerainty system seemed to have another heavyweight vassal state.

That is... Heshuo Special Department!

This is of great significance to Daheng.

Northwest Tibet, for Daheng, the difficulty is not only because of the terrain, but also because of the culture.

A unique culture that is self-contained and deeply rooted!

These two difficulties are the copper walls and iron walls that block the Daheng Iron Cavalry.

But the surrender of the Heshuo Special Department is equivalent to opening a gap in the iron wall!

For the Northwest Tibet, this is undoubtedly a kind of "bringing wolves into the house"!

But for Daheng, it completely opened the door to the northwest.

In the name of Shangguo, Daheng can completely enter the northwest Tibet, and has entered the most critical step of the northward strategy.

Even if the Heshuo Special Department is unwilling, as long as the chaos in the grassland continues and the Heshuo Special Department wants to survive, they can only be honest in front of Daheng's dog!

Whether the grassland is chaotic or not, to this point, Daheng has the final say.

Of course, the emperor was much more enthusiastic about Heshuote, the new younger brother, than the vassal states in the south.

After all, the united front value of this little brother is huge.

When the Heshuo special department met the emperor, the emperor said on the spot that he would strongly support the Heshuo special department.

Immediately, Daheng quickly mobilized a batch of antique firearms from the former Ming Dynasty, which were all moldy in the armory warehouse, what kind of matchlock guns, tiger squat guns, Lumi guns, etc., and even mobilized 50,000 stone grain and grass, as a sincerity to support the younger brother.

Of course, these supports are naturally not without conditions.

Such as building a mountain and building roads, such as commercial contacts, military garrison, and, most importantly, the most inconspicuous "big pie" in Daheng's conditions for Heshuo's special department!

That is... Daheng opens the border trade with Heshuo Special Department!

This, for the Heshuo Special Department, is undoubtedly a great good thing that the pie is falling from the sky!

After all, the Tibetan land is barren and lacks everything, and the land of Daheng, from ancient times to the present, has been a rich and prosperous land peeped by the northern aliens. In their eyes, Daheng lacks everything!

And throughout the ages, the mutual market trade has always been an important means for the Central Plains dynasty to restrain the alien races in the north.

And Daheng, actually let go of the border of the mutual market?

When Tianzi said this treatment, the great Khan of Heshuo, who was still quite resentful about surrendering, immediately smiled, and the emperor of the kingdom was called a passion.

The emperor just chuckled and didn't say much.

Compared with Northwest Tibet, Daheng is the difference between heaven and earth, whether it is national strength or property.

Daheng has a vast territory and is rich in products. There are countless products that are needed in Northwest Tibet, but how much Daheng needs in Northwest Tibet?

Not to mention, it is still in this era of slow innovation of productivity.

Economic colonization!

Currency hegemony!

Unblocked commercial and trade exchanges, then these two points, over time, will inevitably be achieved in the northwest Tibet, and even through the ancient Silk Road, affecting farther places!

And when these two points are achieved, there will be almost no obstacles to the plan of Daheng's northward advance!

In fact, when the emperor proposed this policy, he was strongly opposed by the civil and military officials, who believed that the smooth commerce and trade would breed pirates.

After all, commercial exchanges with the Heshuo Special Department have been opened, and border commerce and trade have been released. Then these commercial exchanges will inevitably flow to other tribes in the northwest, as well as to the Lin Danhan Department in Mobei and Monan.

This is undoubtedly the behavior of the enemy.

But the emperor's idea is completely different.

In the past, the mutual market was closed and the grasslands were blocked because the grasslands had overlords. Lin Dan Khan was almost the unquestionable sweat of the mother in the south and the north.

In this way, we can only choose to block border trade, sow discord, and weaken the strength of the two sides.

But now, the three parties are fighting for hegemony, and the war is endless.

Obviously, there is no need for Daheng to blockade. Instead, they can open the border of commerce and trade, so that they can have the strength to continue fighting!

Furthermore, the signs of innovation in productivity and the finalization of paper money seem to give hope that the two new terms of economic colonization and currency hegemony will appear in Daheng.

The Son of Heaven also hopes that this will allow Daheng to come into contact with these two points.

After all, most of the civil servants since ancient times did not like to expand the territory and expand the land, but they are all good at conspiracy and tricks.

This kind of strategy for the country, one does not require labor and money, and the other does not require soldiers to kill, obviously it is very suitable for this group of civilians.

The Son of Heaven firmly believed that as long as the civil servants came into contact with this kind of strategy for the country, they would definitely be able to play it out!

Dedicated people to do special tasks, for the emperor, to grasp the general direction, and a lot of hard work can be handed over to the courtiers below.

And this kind of thing, no one has experience, although the emperor understands, but he only understands the fur, and the officials and officials are even more confused.

There are two ways to do everything. If you succeed this time, it will be smoother next time.

Of course, trading in the northwest, there is another point, it can also be called an attempt by the emperor to the Daheng world.

The pattern of the world, from the Han and Tang dynasties when the east and west are the most important, to now the north and south are the most important.

In the north and south, it is obvious that the rich and the poor are extremely uneven.

The South is already much richer than the North, and the future ocean age will make the South even more prosperous.

And when the world's wealth is concentrated in the south, it is inevitable that the center of gravity will move south!

Even if the political center lies in the north, it absolutely cannot go against this general trend.

After all, the most clear point is that being rich means that the family has surplus wealth, and the family has surplus wealth, so that they can have a better living environment, a better educational environment, and it is easier to produce talents.

The wealthy will also contribute more tax to the imperial court, and will attract more attention from the imperial court!

While the court pays more attention to the south, it will pay less attention to the north.

In this way, a vicious circle will form, with the South getting richer and the North stagnant and even backward.

And when the north is backward and stagnant, such as grasslands and northwest Tibet, these already backward places will naturally become tasteless places.

This is also the fundamental reason why in the past dynasties and dynasties, when the country was founded, it laid a great deal of territory beyond its borders, but in the middle and late dynasties, they often gave up one after another and turned into a comprehensive strategic contraction.

After all, if you can't make ends meet, you have to let other wealthy places subsidize it. Few people are willing to do this kind of loss-making business.

This is the normal law!

The Son of Heaven developed Liao Province and set up municipal shipping divisions in various parts of the Bohai Sea, all in order to make the north richer, and to balance the balance between the north and the south as much as possible.

There is also a reason for this in today's decision to trade in the Northwest.

That is to open up the ancient Silk Road, connect Central Asia, and add another source of wealth to the north, so that the north and the south can be as balanced as possible!

To open up the territory and expand the soil, it has never been beaten down, and it can be defended.

The most fundamental factor is, can this place generate value after it has been beaten down!

That is to say, even if you keep this place, you will be unable to make ends meet, but as long as the value of this place is far greater than that of making ends meet, no matter who is in power, as long as there is no problem with his mind, he will definitely guard it.

This value can be divided into strategic position and economic position!

Strictly speaking, Tibet in the northwest undoubtedly has great strategic value. However, in this era, the productivity has not reached the point where a missile of later generations can hit the whole world, and its strategic value cannot be reflected.

If the strategic value does not work, then the only thing left is to make it generate economic value, so that this land can become a permanent land!

Once the Silk Road is fully developed, the Tibetan area will undoubtedly have great economic value, and this economic value is not just the Tibetan area itself.

It also means that those commercial and trade countries connected with Tibet, as well as provinces with internal borders connected to Tibet, such as Hetao, Shaanxi, Sichuan, etc., will all be affected by this economic value, or benefit from it!

The balance between the north and the south, even if it is still difficult to balance, it will not tilt too seriously!

In this way, the Tibetan land must be an inseparable solid soil, which has great value!

Otherwise ~www.novelbuddy.com~ a piece of land with rough terrain, harsh environment and difficult to manage is completely useless.

The long-term means of making ends meet, can not say which generation, it will be abandoned.

This possibility is obviously not impossible, and the possibility is very large!

How many years did it take for the former Ming to go from strategic offensive to strategic contraction?

Yongle's five expeditions in Mobei, and his grandson succeeded to the throne, almost completely denied Yongle's strategic offensive strategy. In the middle, the interval was only a few years!

Obviously, the fundamental reason is that the value of the land that has been shrunk and abandoned is not enough!

Furthermore, it is because the center of gravity of the country's wealth lies in the south.

To avoid repeating the same mistakes, and without experience to refer to, the emperor can only test, try again and again, strive, and be able to change these...
