Chapter 324: Attacking the Western Regions

When the charity auction ended, the total amount of auction reached more than 60,000 yuan. The result of the Beizhili Industrial Exhibition in recent years is that the capital of the Beizhili merchants has also increased significantly.&1t;/p>

The funds raised at the auction will be used for disaster relief. It is precisely because of this that many merchants do not care much about the price when bidding. When they encounter something they like, the prices keep rising. Especially the things auctioned at this auction are all fine products, and some antique calligraphy and paintings are even more valuable.&1t;/p>

Before the Spring Festival, Zhu Youxiao rewarded the groups that had made significant contributions to the country this year, that is, they sent some tributes from Guanglu Temple and other things. They disposed of all the endless tributes in the palace to avoid wasting.&1t;/p>

In a celebratory atmosphere, the Spring Festival is coming.&1t;/p>

People in northern provinces generally experienced much better during the Spring Festival this year. Those who immigrated to the Northeast and other places have obtained new resources in the new world. After another year of hard work, their living standards have been significantly improved.&1t;/p>

Although most of the people in the northern provinces within the pass have not been included in the reform, the imperial court has begun to draw resources to build water conservancy in other provinces in the past year. In addition to population transfer, it has reduced the local population density and reduced the pressure of survival. Life is generally easier.&1t;/p>

In addition, in those northern provinces without reform, the imperial court promoted a large number of grassroots officials, and the officialdom and the trend of exploiting the people were successfully curbed. Moreover, these officials from the grassroots level, after serving as the top leaders of the local government, generally made some achievements. With the efforts of these officials, the people's livelihood has also improved to a certain extent.&1t;/p>

The court's guarantee measures were also extended to northern provinces. The lonely and disabled groups received subsidies from the court. The affected people received disaster relief from the court, ensuring the basic right to survive.&1t;/p>

The basic right to survival these days is relatively simple. That is to continue to eat enough, because productivity is at this level.&1t;/p>

Before the New Year, those in need also received New Year’s goods from the court. Although they were just some ordinary New Year’s goods, they were also heartwarming enough.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao also went to comfort the martyrs' families in person, and his posture was in place.&1t;/p>

In the past year, the court has provided immigration opportunities to the people of the southern provinces, so that the lower-level people can break out of the world of resource scarcity. To the rich resources, 2☆3.o♀&1t;    s="arn:2p    o    2p   o">&1t;srp    p="/aasrp">s_();&1t;/srp>&1t;/>Overseas regions have developed their own small world. At the same time, state-owned capital has entered the south, ensuring stable grain prices for the people of the southern provinces.&1t;/p>

Compared with the north, the basic right to survival in the south is better protected. While the southern gentry and powerful people formed a high degree of autonomy, the social security system was also established.&1t;/p>

Overall, the southern gentry has a very high level of cultural level, and many ordinary people know how to do good and accumulate virtue. Therefore, although the gap between the rich and the poor in society is large, there are still basic guarantees.&1t;/p>

While the south is highly autonomous, it also ensures the basic right to survive to a certain extent.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao has been ascending the throne for almost seven years, and after continuous efforts, he finally achieved certain governance results. Ensuring the basic right to survival of the people is his greatest political achievement at present.&1t;/p>

On the basis of ensuring the basic right to survival, there is still a lot to do next.&1t;/p>

How to make the people rich, how to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in society? How to even eliminate poverty?&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to think too much about eliminating poverty, after all, productivity has not reached the level of future generations. The most important thing is how to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. After all, it is too poor, and it is too rich. It only depends on the social comparison. Together, productivity can make the people's living standards higher and the country's strength will be stronger.&1t;/p>

With the advent of spring, the ice and snow began to melt slowly.&1t;/p>

In the first month of the seventh year of the Tianqi period, Zhu Youxiao appointed Lu Xiangsheng as the commander and commanded the combat officers and soldiers gathered in Gansu to attack the Western Regions.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the listings were published, and the crimes of the Yarkand Khanate were counted in detail, and the Western Regions were the historical basis for Chinese territory.&1t;/p>

"... Now the Tartars split the land in the Western Regions, and their land is very wide, and their products are not poor. However, the Tartars are lustful and arrogant, and do not know how to concentrate on production. They are not content with their treasures. They repeatedly violate the inner territory of the pass. Since I ascended the throne, I have repeatedly repaired and maintained it. I hope that the world will be prosperous and peaceful, and I will not violate it. But things go against my wishes. Last year, the Western Captains will invade the border of the Ming Dynasty again. Now I am determined to eliminate the dangers of the Western Regions, and then I will raise 500,000 royal troops to slander the people and punish the people, and restore the hometown of the Han family's Western Regions. I hope that the king and the people of the world will work together to create a prosperous Chinese era..."&1t;/p>

The list of articles was listed in the Daming Daily, and was later reproduced by other newspapers, which quickly caused a sensation in the entire Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Ordinary people were sensational. Their ideas were very simple. Those barbaric Tartars dared to invade the Ming Dynasty? Then beat them, beat them all over the ground and exclaim them. The imperial court could send 500,000 troops to recover the Western Regions, which shows that the country was strong.&1t;/p>

And those ambitious people were also excited. If the imperial court conquered the Western Regions, the domestic military forces would inevitably appear to be void. If there was a huge crowd on the battlefield of the Western Regions and the soldiers were damaged, wouldn’t the opportunity to rebel come?&1t;/p>

The merchants of the state-owned capital consortium donated generously, donating military funds to the court, or sending people to transport combat materials to the court, giving money and making great efforts.&1t;/p>

In fact, the court only claimed to be a 50,000 army in this battle, but in fact only 260,000.&1t;/p>

Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Gansu before the New Year. When the list was released, Lu Xiangsheng held a oath-taking meeting at Yumen Pass, Gansu.&1t;/p>

All officers and soldiers were extremely motivated at the oath-taking meeting because the time for making achievements has come.&1t;/p>

Under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, the 260,000 officers and soldiers divided into two groups that day and launched a fierce clamp-shaped offensive against the Yarkand Khanate.&1t;/p>

The Western Regions controlled by the Yarkand Khanate are like a large corridor. The north of the Tianshan Mountains is occupied by the Mongolian Jukar tribe.&1t;/p>

Two hundred thousand Ming troops were divided into two groups, one in the north and one in the south, sweeping along this large corridor.&1t;/p>

The Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate Abdullah was busy preparing to compete with the Junkar tribe for the Ili River Valley, and the war with the Junkar tribe was about to reach.&1t;/p>

Abdula Xiang, who had just become a great khan, showed very good military talents and commander skills. Now the Yarkand Khanate is condensed into a rope by him and is expanding around the surrounding area. The Yarkand Khanate and the Junkar Mongolia are too close to each other, and the two sides are constantly in conflict. The biggest dispute is the Ili River Valley area.&1t;/p>

This war preparation, Abudula Xiang was full of confidence and decided to recover the Ili River Valley in one fell swoop and drive the Junkar tribe out. However, before Abudula Xiang started to take action, he suddenly received an urgent report that the Ming army had divided into two groups and was coming to Hami.&1t;/p>

When he received this urgent report, Abdula was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.&1t;/p>

When is it bad to come, I chose to come at this time.&1t;/p>

However, Abudulaxiang was not very worried about the aggressive Ming army, but was full of confidence. Because the Ming army wanted to attack the Western Regions, it meant that the supply line would be stretched very long.&1t;/p>

He just needs to avoid fighting and wait for an opportunity to attack the Ming army's logistics supply line.&1t;/p>

When the Ming army attacked, the plan to attack the Yili River Valley was naturally a ruthless miscarriage. Abudulaxiang did not hesitate and immediately turned his troops to deal with the aggressive Ming army.&1t;/p>

Abdula transferred troops to the east while organizing personnel to evacuate, evacuating all the things that could be evacuated, leaving no food or cattle or sheep for the Ming army. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
