The capital of the Ming Dynasty arrived as scheduled in the 16th year of Hongzhi. It was March in spring, and the warm sunshine was mixed with a hint of spring cold, which made Liu Jin couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly.
"Hongzhi has been in power for sixteen years!"
Standing on the city wall of the capital and overlooking the entire capital, it is prosperous, noisy and lively. Within the city wall are traditional green and black brick courtyards, which are neatly planned. At a glance, you can see that they are dotted all over the place, and each area stretches to the end of the field of vision. .
Outside the city wall are mainly white reinforced concrete buildings. Spacious concrete roads stretch in all directions, dividing the flat wilderness into areas and brand-new communities. The place is very lively, with cars coming and going. Instead of the strict atmosphere of the inner city, there is more hustle and bustle of the market.
This is the current capital of the Ming Empire, a large city that is developing and changing at a rapid pace. Just like the movies of the Republic of China that I have seen before traveling through time, tradition and novelty are perfectly blended together.
"Tian Erniu is doing pretty well in Europe, but it may be a bit troublesome now. The Holy See will definitely not give up so easily. But now that the Holy See has sunk, there is no need to worry too much. He should be able to cope with it. of."
¡°Recently, there have been more and more problems in this regard. There are too many missionaries coming to our country to preach without permission. A severe crackdown must be carried out.¡±
Looking at the capital in front of him, Liu Jin quickly thought of things he needed to deal with.
Now I am really in a high position, and there are so many things that need to be dealt with every day, so that if I want to go out and play as before, I need to take a break from my busy schedule, and even if I go out, I am still thinking about national affairs.
¡°There is also good news from the Americas. Cowpox vaccination is very successful and has begun to be promoted on a large scale in the Aztec Kingdom.¡±
"Smallpox is no longer terrible, but other diseases are becoming more and more common. Recently, Daming Medical College has reported that many people in the capital are now suffering from a kind of flower-willow disease."
"I'm afraid this is syphilis that was brought back from America."
Liu Jin¡¯s mind recalled the news he had recently received from Golden Continent. The method of vaccination to prevent smallpox had been developed, and a large number of experiments in the Americas had proved that it was indeed reliable.
But this did not make Liu Jin feel happy. When the Ming Dynasty went to America, they brought diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and measles to America. They also brought back syphilis and cholera that were prevalent in America. At the same time, they also brought back syphilis and cholera in Africa. Yellow fever was also reported from Bian.
Some diseases are even quite scary, such as syphilis, because the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Huangjin Continent are too frequent. A large number of people went to Huangjin Continent and married locals as wives and concubines in Huangjin Continent.
The disease quickly spread to the Beijing and Tianjin areas of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the brothels and Chu houses of the Ming Dynasty were all legal businesses, which also led to the spread of the disease.
Many people in the Beijing-Tianjin area are now getting angry when talking about this, so much so that the business of brothels and brothels has become sluggish. Compared with seeking pleasure, everyone still cherishes their own lives more.
Of course, this has also led to a sharp increase in patients at the Daming Medical College Affiliated Hospital. Faced with new diseases coming back from all over the world, traditional medical clinics and doctors seem to be at a loss, and are committed to researching diseases, new medical techniques, and new drugs. The Ming Dynasty Medical College represents the most cutting-edge medical technology in Ming Dynasty.
Even Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s intestinal carbuncle was cured, so it is naturally the hospital that everyone trusts most now.
"Fortunately, we invested in the construction of the Ming Medical College in advance. Otherwise, I am afraid that the colonial era of the Ming Dynasty would have been frustrated."
Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but feel happy in his heart. He came from later generations and as a time traveler, of course he knew the horrors of epidemic diseases. Smallpox was nothing compared to these diseases.
The plague that was prevalent in Europe during the Middle Ages directly reduced the population of Europe by one-third, which is terrible.
Since ancient times, the scale of cities has always been limited, not only because of food problems, but also because of diseases. People are too concentrated. Once there is any disease, it is easy to spread quickly and cause a large number of deaths.
In later generations, the scale of cities is getting larger and larger, and the population is increasing. On the one hand, it is the need for industrialization development and the development of productivity, which frees more people from agricultural labor to engage in the secondary and tertiary industries, but on the other hand, On the one hand, due to the development of medical technology, various diseases can be prevented and cured, otherwise it will still be difficult.Large cities developed.
"Should Liaodong and the grasslands continue to develop northward? The current Liaodong is only the developed area of ??Liaoning and Jilin provinces in later generations. There are also vast and fertile fields in Heilongjiang. If it can be cultivated here, just The grain produced in Liaodong Province is enough for the Ming Dynasty."
"There are also the Lake Baikal area north of the Steppe Province and the vast Siberia. Should these areas be developed?"
Soon, Liu Jin thought about things in the north of the Ming Dynasty.
¡°The winters in these places are too cold, and even if they are developed now, in a few decades, when the Little Ice Age comes, everything will seem in vain.¡±
¡°But it would be a pity not to develop such a vast and fertile area.¡±
"The population is still too small. People are needed everywhere and immigrants are needed, but now the traditional two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty can no longer have a large amount of excess population for immigrants as before."
Liu Jin frowned slightly, then thought about it and smiled.
"Never mind it, anyway, we only need to occupy the Ural Mountains and block Maozi's road to the east. This vast Siberia is the territory of our Ming Dynasty. It cannot be developed now. It can be left alone for a few hundred years. Yes, it can always be developed."
¡°Well, now I¡¯m a little worried about happiness.¡±
"You can't think too much about everything or do too much. One generation will do the same thing as the other. What I have to do now is to let Ming Dynasty squander the territory first and occupy more territory. As for development, it is still Let¡¯s leave it to future generations to develop slowly.¡±
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.
"Whether it is Liaodong or the grasslands, or the vast Siberia, the vast and sparsely populated Golden Continent and Australia, they are all owned by the Ming Dynasty now. It does not matter whether they are developed or not. It can be left alone.
"Master Liu, Master Liu~"
While Liu Jin was deep in thought, someone hurriedly climbed onto the city wall and shouted.
"Father-in-law~"
Liu Jin took a look and saw that this was a small yellow gatekeeper in the palace, who specially sent messages to the emperor. It should be that Emperor Hongzhi summoned him to the palace to discuss national affairs.
"Mr. Liu, Your Majesty summons you to enter the palace immediately. Urgent military information from eight hundred miles away has just been transmitted from this side of the river. The Ottoman Empire has gathered an army of 200,000 to attack the Hezhong area of ??our Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Huangmen said breathlessly.
"The Ottoman Empire attacks Transoxiana?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately hurried to the palace.
In the study room of the Palace of Qianqing, Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhong Zhong and others have all arrived. They all stood up and were looking at the map of Central Asia.
"Your Majesty, after the envoys of the Ottoman Empire came to our Ming Dynasty last year, they were very arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. They even asked our Ming Dynasty to give exclusive trade rights to their Ottoman Empire, and also asked us to cut off all contacts with the Kingdom of Persia and the Mamluks. This is They don¡¯t take our Ming Dynasty seriously at all.¡±
"Their envoys did not get any promises or benefits from our Ming Dynasty. As soon as they returned to the Ottoman Empire, they immediately sent troops to attack our river area."
"Obviously, they have been coveting the fertile Hezhong area for more than a day or two. They probably wanted to occupy this fertile land a long time ago."
Li Dongyang looked at the map of Central Asia and said to Emperor Hongzhi.
"Hmm~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. In the past, he thought that only the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were the real treasures. However, with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, everyone gradually came to know that there was a lot of fertile land in the world.
Among them, the Hezhong area is definitely the richest and most fertile area in Central Asia. The Ming Dynasty, which occupied this area, took less than two years to manage the Hezhong area in a good way.
The grain produced in the Hezhong area not only meets the needs of the Hezhong area, but can also be supplied to various parts of the Western Region in large quantities, making the price of food in the Western Region even cheaper than in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.
The cattle, sheep and horses produced in the river area are so abundant that they can be transported back to the Beijing-Tianjin area of ??the Ming Dynasty. The beef jerky and mutton cocoa in the river are essential items for ships going to sea from Tianjin Port.
There are too many people coveting such a fertile land.
The Kazakh Khanate in the north, the Persians in the south, and the Ottoman Empire in the west are all eyeing this place, but those who have the strength and courage to provoke the Ming Dynasty are now the only ones left.
The Kazakh Khanate in the north was already frightened last year, and now they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Last year, they even donated tens of thousands of good horses to the Ming Dynasty.
The Persians in the south have always been very honest. The originally dishonest Tamerlane Khanate has been beaten to extinction, and a few people have spread to the South Asian subcontinent.
Only the Ottoman Empire in the west has not yet learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty. It does not know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is. It is self-righteous and raises troops to attack the Hezhong area of ??the Ming Dynasty without overestimating its capabilities.
Of course, the Ottoman Empire was still very powerful during this period. It was the peak period of the Ottoman Empire's strength. It was powerful, had a strong desire for expansion, and was very aggressive.
