In the Western Regions, while Zhu Houzhao was busy picking up girls, he did not forget to inspect the situation in various places in the Western Regions.
How do the various tribes get along with each other?
Whether there are big tribes bullying small tribes, Han people bullying other tribes, or being bullied by other tribes, and whether the officials in the Western Regions act fairly and favor any party.
"Here in the Western Region, the tribes get along very harmoniously. This kind of tribal policy is very effective and needs to be continued."
After inspecting many places in the Western Region, Zhu Houzhao finally came to the conclusion that the tribal policy currently implemented is very effective.
There are many tribes in the Western Region. There are hundreds of large and small tribes, and their customs, habits, religious beliefs, etc. are all very different.
This difference is also the source of the turmoil and constant killings in the Western Region.
The natural conditions of the Western Region itself are not very good. Only places with water will have vitality. Most places are vast desert areas.
Tribes compete with each other for grasslands and oases with water sources, and for living space. It was very common in the past for big tribes to bully small tribes and plunder small tribes.
Whoever is ruthless will be justified, and whoever is tough will be the boss.
But now, Ming Dynasty implements the policy of equality of all tribes here, and also emphasizes that everyone is equal, not only respecting each tribe, but more importantly, respecting the individuals of each tribe.
The army of the Ming Dynasty guarded various parts of the Western Regions, and carried out severe attacks on horse bandits, road bandits, thieves, bullies, tyrannical tribes, etc., to sweep away the demons and monsters in the Western Regions, and at the same time, to eliminate the armed forces of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions. 强牺 wanbar.net 读牺
The nobles and leaders of each tribe will move to the Beijing-Tianjin area to settle down, break away from their own tribes, and at the same time disband the original armed forces of each tribe, disperse the population of each tribe, and move a large number of people to the territory of the original Hakes Khanate Central Asia Province with basic foundation established.
The next step is to govern the country according to law. The most important point in appointing officials from various places is to learn to handle the affairs between the tribes. The basis is the law of the Ming Dynasty and does not favor any party. Only in this way can the prestige of the Ming Dynasty government be established.
The last step is to vigorously promote Han culture, open and establish new schools in places where various tribes gather, and require children of all tribes to go to school and receive education and influence from Han culture. This time wanb ar.net Zhang Si
Although they have not ruled the Western Regions for a long time, under this set of effective policies, the tribes in the Western Regions live in harmony, equality and friendship, and conflicts between tribes have been greatly reduced.
And because there are more and more common languages ????and characters, the integration between tribes is accelerating, and there are more and more intermarriages between tribes. In addition, the Ming Empire has always attached great importance to the Western Regions, and its investment in building railways has also accelerated. It promoted the development of the Western Regions and promoted the economic development of the Western Regions.
These have brought about earth-shaking changes in the living standards of the tribes in the Western Region. People's lives are much better than before, and naturally they will not cause trouble or trouble.
Those who herd will continue to herd, those who farm will continue to farm, those who do business will do business, all industries will prosper, and all tribes will prosper. This also allowed the Ming Dynasty's rule here to quickly stabilize.
Zhu Houzhao, who personally traveled around the Western Regions, saw with his own eyes the harmonious coexistence of various tribes. Therefore, he felt that the current policy was very good and must be adhered to.
In the past, Ming Dynasty¡¯s policy towards minority tribes was very poor.
On the one hand, the military power of these minority tribes was not eliminated. For example, there were many grassland tribes that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in the past, but the Ming Dynasty only canonized the leaders of these tribes as kings or military generals.
Let them continue to lead their tribes, have an army and tribes in their hands, and also control the economic and political power of their tribes.
When they are weak, they are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and protect the Ming Dynasty, which can indeed stabilize the border.
But once the Ming Dynasty weakened and they became stronger, they would naturally become new tribes that invaded the Ming Dynasty. This kind of thing happened again and again in history.
Like the previous Hami Guards, King Hami, and the Jurchens here in Liaodong, they were all in this situation. They tolerated and nursed the troubles, and when they became stronger, they continued to plunder the borders.
While appearing to be a vassal, they continued to harass the border, continued to suck blood and grew stronger, and eventually became a catastrophic disaster.
There are also the chieftains in the southwest. In fact, they are similar. The chieftains are small local kings. They have military power, economic power, and are hereditary. It is strange that they do not rebel.They specialize in raising wool-producing sheep. This kind of sheep is a breed introduced from Europe.
Others specialize in raising cows to produce milk, because it is unknown when drinking milk and eating cheese became popular in the Ming Dynasty Pass, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area, driven by huge market demand and economic interests. , many pastures began to raise dairy cows.
Similarly, these dairy breeds are selected from high-quality breeds from all over the world, and European slaves are exclusively used to make cheese.
Nowadays, the cheese produced by some ranches in the Western Regions is very famous, and it is no worse than the cheese in Europe in any aspect.
There are also ranches that specialize in raising horses. At the same time, they continue to cultivate horse breeds and collect excellent horse breeds from all over the world for breeding. The horses they breed are of very high quality and are very popular.
These professional pastures and breeding farms have had a huge impact on the nomadic tribes. In order to make money, these grassland tribes also began to learn the breeding methods of the Han people, specializing in raising a valuable livestock, and gradually settled down and enclosed the land. Build pastures and farms for breeding.
As for the tribes who settled in the oasis, they have also undergone tremendous changes.
Because the grain products of the Ming Dynasty were very high, the price of grain was very cheap. 强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺
"These tribes who settled in the oasis and made a living by growing wheat had a relatively difficult life. Their food could not be sold at a high price, and they did not make money from farming. They could only eat enough.
"But people are poor and want to change. Since growing food doesn't make money, then grow something else."
The natural conditions in the Western Region are very good and are very suitable for growing some cash crops or fruits.
Like Turpan, there is a tradition of growing grapes, and now it is carried forward. Grapes are planted in large quantities, and then wine is made and raisins are made. The benefits are also very good.
And here on Tianshan South Road, a large number of red dates are planted. When the red dates mature, there are fruit trees all over the mountains and plains. Various types of red dates can be freshly transported directly on the train to Beijing and Tianjin for sale, or they can be dried in the winter. When the time comes to sell it, the benefits will be very good.
In addition, there are also those who grow cantaloupe, fragrant pears, and wolfberry, all of which have achieved good results.
Of course, the largest number of people grow cotton. Now the textile industry in the Ming Dynasty is very developed. There are a lot of cotton planting areas in the Western Regions. Not only the cotton plantations of the Han people, but also various tribes grow a lot of cotton.
Under the promotion of these local governments, huge areas are often formed, and the entire area is mainly planted with certain cash crops.
Relying on the newly built railway, all specialties can be transported to the pass at the fastest speed, bringing a steady stream of money to the people here. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
In addition to the original economic activities of specialty products, in addition to the continuous expansion of scale and concentrated planting, the Western Regions, like other parts of the Ming Dynasty, are introducing a large number of valuable cash crops from all over the world.
