The cavalry of the Han Dynasty dominated the world. Whether it was Wei Qing or Huo Qubing, they were both victorious with their cavalry. Qi Jiguang had been a general for many years and had fought in many battles. He had commanded all kinds of battle formations, but this was the first time he was involved in a large-scale cavalry battle. Of course, Qi Jiguang was eager to give it a try.
Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and smiled. Qi Jiguang looked pretty confident.
As for whether the Daming Empire's strength could support the Daming Empire in fighting on two fronts, Zhu Yijun was not worried at all. In his previous life, the Wanli Emperor had to tighten his belt and fight three major wars, but he did not have to.
After so many years of accumulation, it was enough for Zhu Yijun to fight a few big battles.
The battle to destroy Chahar was imperative. It had to be fought.
Only by annihilating Chahar could Southern Mongolia become a Daming pasture for horses, and the Daming Northern Frontier would no longer have to worry about the border.
Only then would Zhu Yijun be able to focus on the south, the west, and the sea. Otherwise, the north would not be safe, and he would not be able to do anything.
As for whether it was too late to participate in the battle at sea, Zhu Yijun was not worried at all. A good meal was never too late.
With the size of the Daming, once it rolled forward, no one would be able to stop it.
One must know that Daming's annual GDP accounted for more than 60% of the world. What kind of concept was that?
How many people are there in the world now?
Daming how many people are there in a population of 600 million?
160 million!
Daming accounted for more than two-thirds of the world's iron production, and 40% of the world's silver flowed into Daming.
In Europe in this era, cities were generally relatively small, with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 to be called a "big city."
What about the Great Ming Dynasty?
Twenty to thirty thousand people was nothing. A slightly larger town would have such a population.
In this era, there was not much difference in technology. After all, the first industrial revolution had not yet begun!
With Zhu Yijun's management and Zhu Yijun's reforms, what kind of power would Daming have?
To put it bluntly, he could beat the entire world!
This was no longer a matter of superpowers.
If they really fought, even if it was a battle of attrition, who would be a match for them?
The Netherlands?
Portugal?
Or Spain?
Unless there was a huge gap in technology, which was after the first industrial revolution, it was impossible to invade Daming.
When it came to the Qing Dynasty, it was a complete regression. Apart from the abundance of new crops, everything else was completely beaten by the Daming.
It could be said that the entire Qing Dynasty was regressing. Therefore, in his previous life, Zhu Yijun was very disdainful of the so-called golden age of the Qing Dynasty.
Now, Zhu Yijun was bursting with confidence. After the Northern Borderline was stabilized, Liaodong and the Mongolian Grasslands would be a powerful aid to the Daming South.
When the wool textile industry developed, sheep herding would be fenced and the grasslands would be developed. Once the Daming's Honours made money like crazy, how could Outer Mongolia be protected?
Did they really think that sheep eating humans was just a joke?
Can the west be protected?
At that time, Zhu Yijun didn't even need to take the initiative to bring it up. The Daming's cavalry would expand on their own because the grasslands represented wealth. Who didn't want to get rich?
Therefore, Zhu Yijun had never been in a hurry. After transmigrating for 20 years, Zhu Yijun had always been targeting the internal affairs of the country. He had always been reforming the Daming. He had always been targeting the North, the Northeast, attacking North Korea, destroying the Japanese Empire. Everything was to lay the foundation.
Zhu Yijun believed that once the Daming erupted with power, it would be an unstoppable force like a mountain torrent.
Once the Daming's national strength increased, how many soldiers could Zhu Yijun produce?
In this era where military strength was still measured by the number of people, that was something no one dared to imagine.
What was blocking Zhu Yijun now?
It was Chahar. It was Buyan Chechen!
This was equivalent to a big black mole growing on Zhu Yijun's handsome face, completely ruining his beauty.
Because of this big mole, a handsome man who originally scored 100 points directly became a man who failed 50 points.
How could this Zhu Yijun tolerate it?
He couldn't tolerate it at all. He had to crush him.
Under such circumstances, the Daming's northern frontier war began again. The Grand Council began to prepare, and the Cabinet and the Ministry of Internal Affairs fully cooperated.
For the Daming, he was very experienced in fighting wars. From the War of Wala to the Battle of Horqin to the Battle of North Korea and the Japanese Empire, the Daming had accumulated enough experience.
From the deployment of personnel to the transportation of supplies, it could be said to be very smooth, without the slightest delay.
The imperial court issued a big order again, and the merchants also joined in the carnival. Therefore, the people of the Daming fought Chahar in a jubilant mood.
Zhu Yijun issued a decree reprimanding Chahar's envoy and directly drove them out of the Daming, escorted by the Imperial Bodyguard.
Why didn't he kill them? First, it was disdain, and second, it was for the other tribes to see.
The Daming was targeting Chahar, not others, and this was very obvious.
For this reason, Zhu Yijun invited the envoys of the other Mongolian tribes to a banquet in the palace and accepted the request of the Ordos tribe to offer a noble daughter.
At the same time, Zhu Yijun also promised to give the patriarch of the Ordos tribe the title of duke and grant him a sealed city. The construction of the sealed city would be funded by the Daming.
However, after the construction of the sealed city, the Daming probably wouldn't leave. It should be known that the Ordos tribe was also an important wool textile base in the later generations!
The huge war machine of the Daming was launched, and the energy that erupted was very amazing.
Guihua City.
As the first city to surrender to the Daming, Guihua City was now no longer the same as before. The city could no longer be lived in, and a new urban area had been built around the outer city.
The Daming and the Wala people were everywhere. Basically, they were talking in detail and going to drink with each other.
Of course, there were also people who quarreled anxiously, but no one went up to mediate, even if one of them was a Wala and the other was a Daming.
Because these two people were doing business, the person who went up to mediate would be very embarrassed, because the two people would reach an agreement in the next second, and then go to drink while talking and laughing.
Guihua City had become a famous commercial city on the grasslands. A large number of Daming merchants gathered here, and countless transactions were carried out here.
The Wala people didn't want to fight either. Now, they had enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and had Daming tea and wine. Their lives were very comfortable.
They herded sheep and combed cashmere. Now, the best cashmere was sold in two pieces, and the price had soared.
In Guihua City, two yamens were the most important. One was the Guiyi Mansion in Guihua City, where Sanniangzi and Sanniangzi's son, Buta, lived.
They had the right to rule this land, and the other yamen was the Daming Guihua Admiral's Yamen.
This admiral's Yamen was basically not in charge, but no one dared to underestimate this yamen.
