In the palace, Emperor Hongzhi's study, Emperor Hongzhi is looking at the map of the Western Regions and Uzang carefully, studying it carefully. In fact, he also wants to use troops against the Western Regions and Uzang.
But Emperor Hongzhi knew very well that this war was a national matter, and he could not use weapons lightly. Although he wanted to use troops against the Western Regions, he still needed to be cautious and cautious. He had to be fully prepared in all aspects before using troops against the Western Regions. One battle will determine the outcome.
It is winter now. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for using troops in the Western Regions, grasslands, Us-Tibet and other areas in winter. Marching in winter brings too many challenges.
So even though everyone from the government to the public wrote to Emperor Hongzhi, asking him to start a war in the Western Regions, Emperor Hongzhi was not in a hurry because he felt that now was not the time to start a war.
¡°At least, we still have to wait until winter is over and the weather warms up before it is suitable to send troops.
"Your Majesty, many ministers have written letters saying they want to start a war in the Western Regions."
Xiao Jing came over with a pile of memorials and reminded him in a low voice.
"It seems they are really anxious."
"It's good to be anxious, it's good to be anxious, and let them taste the feeling of being anxious. In the past, I would be anxious in winter and always wanted to do something. But as for them, each of them is like Jiang Taigong, steady and steady. Sitting on the Diaoyutai, even if the sky pokes a hole, they won't be anxious at all."
"I'm fine now. I'm anxious, and I know how uncomfortable it feels."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Your Majesty, the textile industry involves a wide range of things, not only the ministers of the government and the public, but also has a great influence on the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Jing thought for a while and said.
"Xiao Jing, have you also invested in some textile factories?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he thought for a moment, smiled and asked.
¡°We invested in several small factories, which are not large in scale.¡±
Xiao Jing nodded and said, naturally this matter cannot be hidden from the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, so it is better to admit it decisively and readily. Who in the whole court has not invested in a few factories, a few trading houses, and a few plantations in Nanyang?
¡°It¡¯s good to know how to invest. At least you won¡¯t have to do anything outrageous just for a little money in the future.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. He himself was the largest capitalist with many industries under his command. He did not object to Xiao Jing's investment in textile factories and trading houses, but thought it was a good thing.
¡°Eunuchs are also human beings, and because they have no offspring, they prefer foreign objects such as gold and silver. It is also a good thing to be able to invest and earn some money, at least they will not be bribed by some people with a small amount of money.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"
"I have always been loyal to you and never dared to do anything out of the ordinary."
When Xiao Jing heard this, he immediately fell to his knees in fright. Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words frightened him half to death. He kept thinking about whether some of the little things he had done before were known to Emperor Hongzhi?
"Get up, I didn't tell you anything."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing and said.
Xiao Jing stood up tremblingly, but he kept thinking about Emperor Hongzhi's words in his mind. Was Emperor Hongzhi trying to beat himself up, or did he have other meanings in it.
But no matter which one it was, Xiao Jing felt like he was sweating profusely, and in the winter, there was a cold snort on his back.
"Xiao Jing, you said that the Western Region and Uzang are huge places, but they are a desolate land. What's the use of our Ming Dynasty conquering them?"
"This Western Region is a little better. At least you can grow cotton, raise cattle and sheep, etc. But as for Uzang, it doesn't seem to be of much use."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the map, thought for a while and asked Xiao Jing.
"I know nothing about these things, so why not call Liu Jin to the palace? He will definitely be able to answer your questions."
Xiao Jing thought for a while and replied.
"Liu Jin?"
"This brat, I gave him two months' leave, and he really doesn't plan to let him miss a day. It's been almost two months, and he still hasn't come to morning service."
When Liu Jin was mentioned, Emperor Hongzhi laughed. He had never seen such a lazy minister.
"There are only three days left, and the two-month vacation will be completed."
Xiao Jing thought for a while and replied.
"Go and call him into the palace. Those who live all day long know how to enjoy happiness at home. This is a small life."
"yesLiu Jin looked at the map and began to explain the situation in the Western Regions to Emperor Hongzhi. He knew that Emperor Hongzhi was going to use troops against the Western Regions.
"It is not difficult to conquer the Western Region. Even if we send troops in winter, with the strength of our Ming army, we can sweep across the entire Western Region very quickly."
"What the Mongols could do back then, we can also do. Although the Western Region is vast, it has not been difficult to conquer it since ancient times."
"What is really difficult is how we should learn from the lessons of the Mongols and think about how to truly incorporate these areas into the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, like these Mongols, although they occupied this place, they soon lost control of it. control, even to the point of Turkizing and Sudanizing itself.¡±
After thinking about it, Liu Jin also brought up the most difficult point. It is very simple to conquer the Western Regions. With the Ming Dynasty's strong military and national power, conquering the Western Regions is a piece of cake.
But after conquering the Western Region, how to rule the Western Region is the key. This is an extremely huge land and very complicated. Only by firmly ruling the Western Region can we say that we can conquer the vast northern territory in the future. Siberian Plain, and then westward to Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
