¡°Open a land route to Europe?¡±
When Battle heard this, he was slightly startled.
"Isn't it possible?"
"You have also seen the world map. It is completely possible to go to Europe from land."
"Bartelle, this silk and porcelain are worth the same as gold in Europe. Think about it, if you can open up such a route, then there will be rolling mountains of gold and silver coming towards you."
Liu Jin looked at Battle, smiled and said.
The grassland people are the best warriors, but when it comes to business, the Persians and Arabs are more powerful and wise.
On the Silk Road in history, in fact, many times it was Persians and Arabs who came to the Central Plains Dynasty to do business and brought out the good things from the Central Plains Dynasty.
As for the people of the Central Plains Dynasty, they still lack such a spirit.
This is related to many factors, the most important of which is that all dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, which greatly affected the development of merchant power.
Persia and the Middle East are different. Merchants have a very high status, so businessmen in these places can travel around and earn wealth.
"But this is too far~"
Battelle quickly asked someone to pull out a world map, looked at Europe on it, and then looked at the Ming Dynasty. The distance between them was really too far.
"It's not just far, there are so many countries in between."
Hardan also shook his head and said.
"Actually, it may not be impossible."
"The vast area from the Ural Mountains to the south and east is basically your Mongolian world. The great Genghis Khan established an extremely huge empire."
"This large area is your pasture. Although you are divided now, most of these places are still under the control of your prairie people."
"You are grassland people and have natural advantages. It shouldn't be difficult to get through."
Liu Jin smiled and said.
When talking about Genghis Khan, Liu Jina was also quite impressed. With the small population on the grassland, they almost defeated the entire Eurasian continent.
The powerful Mongolian Empire swept across all directions. Even after splitting, their descendants still ruled many places. One of them even entered Tianzhu and established the powerful Womor Empire.
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, Battle, Hardan, and Huhe straightened their chests slightly.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Well, yes, we prairie people are indeed very good at it, or we have been very good at it since ancient times.
Of course, a hero is not as brave as he was back then, but now, torn apart, the Golden Family is no longer the Golden Family it was back then.
"If they knew that our Tatar tribes were affiliated with the Ming Dynasty, they would probably kill us all."
Barter thought for a while and shook his head.
"Don't worry, they won't."
"Wang Shouren's 10,000 cavalry have swept across the grassland. Our Ming Dynasty has now formed an army of 50,000 cavalry. When the training is completed, we can push all the way from east to west, and then we can open up land trade routes. ¡±
Liu Jin smiled and said very confidently.
The reason why later generations of Maozi were able to push all the way from west to east was mainly due to firearms. Of course, another reason is that this vast area is sparsely populated. If you defeat a khanate at random, you can occupy a large area of ??vast land. Hundreds of people can occupy it. Within a year, it easily owned the largest territory in the world.
Liu Jin didn¡¯t believe it. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to push it from east to west.
We need firearms, we need a strong national power, we need a population, it¡¯s absolutely easy to push it all the way, and it doesn¡¯t take hundreds of years at all.
The key now is how to hold on to these places after occupying them.
It is basically grassland, and there are not many places that can be cultivated. Except for the area near the Black Sea, which has fertile black soil and natural conditions that can be cultivated, most places are not suitable for cultivation.
Therefore, if you want to rule this area, these grassland people cannot be missing. The key is to find a way to make money to attract people from the Ming Dynasty.
This land Silk Road is very good. If such a trade route can be opened, then there will be no need to take the hard sea route, and the land route will also be possible.
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words?, Battle, Hardan, and Huhe suddenly fell silent.
After arriving in the Beijing-Tianjin area, they not only saw the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, but also the power of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, they visited the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy.
After witnessing the terrifying power of muskets and cannons, as well as the power of the Ming Royal Military Academy, they knew that from now on, the struggle for hegemony in the world would not be a problem for them prairie people.
Facing the terrifying muskets and artillery, coupled with the rigorous training and strict military formations of the Ming army, the current situation may be the best ending.
"Master Liu, if you have any instructions at that time, I will definitely obey them."
The three of them thought about it carefully, and immediately understood that Liu Jin had something for them to do. They looked at each other, exchanged glances, and Barter said quickly.
¡°It¡¯s very annoying when Barter says this.¡±
"We are good friends, and we are still brothers, so we have to be together with Anda."
"I also want your help."
"The grudges between the prairie people and us Ming people have lasted for thousands of years, and it's time to let them go. Look below, how good it is now."
¡°The herdsmen on the grassland can live a prosperous life, and we Ming people can also obtain wool, cattle, sheep, and horses from the grassland. It is mutually beneficial and we can live a good life without fighting or killing each other.¡±
"This world is very big and vast. There are other races in the world. People in Europe, Persia, the Middle East, and India are white, while people in Africa are black."
"We Daming people and you prairie people are both Orientals. There is not much difference in our looks. We have a common ancestor."
¡°Why don¡¯t we put aside our prejudices and join forces to build more territory in this world?¡±
"As long as we are together, nothing in this world can stop us."
¡°By then, we will not only be able to sweep across Europe and Asia, we will also be able to occupy more fertile land and pastures around the world.¡±
Liu Jin looked at the three of them, thought for a while and said.
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, the three of them nodded slightly. Now the Tatar tribes are indeed living a good life. After being included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they are living a comfortable life, which is much better than before.
"You realize this and you see this."
¡°But other people may not be able to see and realize this.¡±
"So you need to go to the grassland to lobby other grassland tribes to let them join our Ming Dynasty. It is best to do it without bloodshed, so that there will be fewer sacrifices."
¡°In addition, when the time comes, we will need you to take the lead in establishing a trading company.¡±
"Well, let's call it the Western Regions Trading Company. This Western Regions Trading Company can attract everyone to invest. Its main business is to open up trade routes from the Ming Dynasty to the west, all the way from the Western Regions, and sell cotton, wool, cattle and sheep. The horses came to the Ming Dynasty, and then sold the silk, porcelain, cloth, glass products, etc. of the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions and beyond."
"At that time, this Western Region Trading Company can also attract other grassland tribe leaders and nobles to become shareholders. The ultimate goal is to open up a trade route to Europe and China."
Liu Jin said slowly.
Regarding how to advance from east to west, it is not difficult to occupy these places, but how to rule these places is difficult, so Liu Jin also thought for a long time.
After all, I felt that we should not only tie these grassland tribe leaders and nobles to the Ming Dynasty's chariots, but also find ways to stimulate the Ming Dynasty people to continue to go west, whether it is business or farming. In short, there is a truth that has never existed since ancient times. What changes is if there are no people of your own in these places.
Even if you can rule for a while, you cannot rule forever.
¡°After all, we are still human beings, and only those who have them can have everything.
Liu Jin also thought that when the Ming Dynasty spreads all over the world, it would be necessary to continue to match the Ming people with foreign wives and concubines. If there are more wives, more offspring will naturally be born.
"No problem, it is our honor to serve the imperial court."
When the three of them heard this, they immediately agreed.
No need to think about it, they are all officials of the Ming Dynasty now.
Battelle was the first to surrender. Emperor Hongzhi gave him a fourth-rank official title. Hardan and Huhe were also fifth-rank officials, and they both had to go to the morning court.
It is a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor.
Now is the time for them to show their loyalty.
"Isn't it just to persuade people to join the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it just to establish trading houses, open up the Western Regions, and open up trade routes? What's so difficult about this?
The Ming Dynasty has a strong military. When the time comes, it will sweep them all the way. If you agree, it's best. If you don't agree, I will use muskets and cannons to talk to you. It's simple and easy.
Anyway, in their opinion, it is not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to push across from east to west.
50,000 elite cavalry armed to the teeth are enough, not to mention muskets and cannons. The castles of the countries in the Western Regions simply cannot withstand the bombardment of cannons.
