Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Latest website:

In the Nuan Pavilion, there was silence.

At this moment, all the veterans were a little worried. They were not afraid of fighting the Mongolian barbarians, but they were afraid of not being able to find anyone on the vast grassland.

This is not a joke, this is something that really happened.

Back then, the emperor personally launched the first Northern Expedition against the Tatars, leading an army of 500,000 people into the hinterland of the grassland.

After the Tatar tribe learned the news, they immediately divided their troops into two groups and fled. The Tatar Khan Benya Shili led his army to flee west to the Oara tribe, while the Tatar Grand Master Arutai fled east.

The emperor first personally led his soldiers to pursue Benya Shili westward, and soon finally defeated Benya Shili at the Onan River. However, seeing Benya Shili's defeat, Wang Shi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue Benya Shili, but turned his horse around and started again. Send troops eastward to pursue Arutai.

The two sides fought in the northeast of the Onan River. The king's division killed countless enemies, and Arutai fell off his horse and fled.

However, at the moment of great victory, when it was possible to avoid future troubles forever, the Ming Dynasty king's division had to shrink its troops and return to the court.

First, because Arutai has disappeared, it would be extremely difficult to find this lost dog on the vast grassland!

Second, because of the hot weather at the time, the Ming Dynasty's 500,000-strong army could not keep up with its logistical supplies and faced the risk of water and food shortages.

Therefore, in desperation, even if he was unwilling to do so, he could only let Alutai, the culprit, run away.

Now the emperor decided to conduct his second personal expedition and sent his troops to the northern expedition to Oara. He also faced the same problems as the previous northern expedition.

Logistics supply problem!

The location of the enemy's main bandit leader!

If these two problems are not solved, I am afraid that this Northern Expedition will have little effect.

It is even very possible that it is what those radical literati say: Expeditions with troops and military force!

Zhu Di leaned on the soft couch, feeling quite uneasy.

It is true that he won a great victory last time, successfully annihilating the young strength of the Tatar tribe, breaking the backbones of Arutai and others, and causing the Tatar tribe's vitality to be severely damaged.

However, this first Northern Expedition seemed to be a victory on the surface, but in fact the record was not very good.

The Ming Dynasty's 500,000-strong army was deceived by the Tatars into running in circles on the prairie. Although the Tatars' vitality was greatly dampened in the end, the 500,000-strong army allowed an Arutai to escape, and the Ming Dynasty's biggest enemy was released!

So these 500,000 troops accompanied him, Zhu Di, the Ming Emperor, and wandered around the Mobei grassland without accomplishing anything.

Zhu Di knew very well that Arutai, a barbarian, was cruel, unfaithful, cunning and ruthless!

Although he seems to be honest and obedient on the surface, he has proclaimed himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty and has been named "King Hening", but a barbarian is a barbarian, and sooner or later he will show his fangs to the Ming Dynasty!

Arutai's obedience to the Ming Dynasty was just a ploy to gain power. When he unites the Tatar tribes and regains his power, he is afraid that he will invade and plunder from the south again, and harass the border!

After all, the status of Tatar Grand Master is somewhat valuable.

However, Zhu Di did not expect that after he severely defeated the Tatar tribe, the Oara tribe took the opportunity to develop rapidly and became the most powerful Mongolian tribe in Mobei, becoming the biggest winner after the last Northern Expedition!

Now Wala not only lives in the Mobei grassland, but also dares to enter the Luqu River in a majestic manner, hoping to peek into the Central Plains!

Zhu Di's violent temper was naturally unbearable.

Therefore, he wanted to go on a personal expedition to suppress Wala's arrogance.

It's just that these two problems before us must be solved.

The last time the imperial commander went on a personal expedition, he had suffered a lot and was cheated. Naturally, he had to be fully prepared this time.

However, the question is, how to solve it?

Subconsciously, Zhu Di looked at his second son, hoping that he would have any good ideas.

For some reason, after experiencing so many things, Zhu Di was full of expectations for this son.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on the small bench, listening to the discussions of Liu Sheng and other veterans, but he did not speak.

In fact, after listening for a long time, he already knew the problem.

This is a fierce collision between two civilizations!

The grassland nomadic civilization and the COSCO farming civilization are like two wheels, driving the continuous progress of Chinese history.

The foreign invasion of farming in the pre-Qin era was the Rong (Di) tribe, the so-called Eastern Yi, Southern Barbarians, Western Rong, and Beidi. For example, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Rong Di harassed the Zhou Dynasty many times and even captured the capital, forcing the Zhou royal family to face its troops. Can reluctantly choose to move the capital.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, farming civilization always chose defense. It was not until Qin Shihuang unified the six countries that farming civilization finally realized its first counterattack against nomadic civilization - Mengtian's Northern Expedition!

The Qin Dynasty successfully drove away the Xiongnu, but the second generation died. In the end, the country fell into the hands of the old Liu family, and the Han Dynasty was established.

However, after the Battle of Baishan Mountain, the Han Dynasty was forced and humiliated by the Xiongnu many times, and had no choice but to adopt a peace and marriage policy. It was not until the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the second counterattack of agricultural civilization against nomadic civilization began!

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and other famous generals throughout the ages led their armies deep into Mobei many times, and successively established Shuofang County and four Hexi counties including Jiuquan, Wuwei, Zhangye and Dunhuang, and achieved such brilliant results as "Sealing the wolf to live in Xu"!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, although they later achieved the brilliant record of "Yanran Leshi", for a long period of time, the Han Dynasty could only rely on "marriage" to temporarily relieve the military pressure from the Xiongnu.

The Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties disrupted the entire Central Plains, causing the great rivers and mountains to be invaded by nomads, and the great rivers and mountains were filled with fishy smell!

It was not until the Sui Dynasty that Dingding Mountains and Rivers drove away the Turks with an overwhelming advantage, and once again achieved a major victory for the farming civilization against the nomadic civilization. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Unfortunately, this was also a "second dynasty".

During the splendid Tang Dynasty, the barbarians they had to face were not only the Turks who had re-emerged in the turbulent times of the late Sui Dynasty, but also the nomadic upstart Tubo in the southwest!

The Turks even invaded the Guanzhong area for a time, directly threatening Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

However, after Li Shimin, the "Khan of Heaven", ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it only took him a few years to bring a group of capable ministers and generals to stabilize the situation, and also eliminate the rebels in one fell swoop, once again adding a new dimension to farming civilization. .

As for Tianshui Zhao and Song, they faced powerful tribes such as Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia one after another, and finally had to go to destruction and were destroyed by Mongolia!

At this time, the nomadic civilization finally reached its highest peak in history - the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty!

As the first nomadic emperor to establish a unified nation, Kublai Khan, Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, could finally use military achievements to prove to the world that nomadic civilization defeated agricultural civilization!

Even though the Yuan Dynasty was replaced by the Ming Dynasty in less than a century, we have to admit that this was a great victory for the nomadic civilization!

Because since the two major civilizations collided, agricultural civilization has never really occupied that vast grassland and truly defeated nomadic civilization!

However, Nomadic Civilization is about to lose another point because Zhu Gaoxu is a loser.

Zhu Gaoxu touched his chin, and under the gaze of everyone, he finally said: "Dad, my son has three strategies, upper, middle, and lower, which are enough to eliminate the Ming Dynasty's border troubles. Which one do you want to hear first?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire Nuan Pavilion fell into an eerie silence.

Zhu Di looked at his son with some surprise, and the curiosity in his heart became more and more intense.

He wanted to see if the three strategies of upper, middle and lower mentioned by the second son were advisable!

"Go and call all the six ministers and important ministers of the cabinet."

"Well...by the way, please call the prince and grandson!"
