The short videos I watched are from ancient times, and the ancients broke the defense

Tianmu:

[Exchanges between different ethnic groups. ]

[Even wars are catalysts for the development of civilization. ]

[Intense exchanges at the same latitude. ]

[It is the Eurasian continent, including North Africa. ]

[The direct reason for the rapid development of civilization. ]

[That's why. ]

[Most civilizations originated from the Eurasian continent, which is oriented east-west. ]

[And the American and African continents, which are oriented north-south, were relatively backward before modern times. ].

[So it came from the agricultural civilization of the northern temperate zone. ]

[Most of the conquests of the tropical south were temporary. ]

[This changed only after we changed from an agricultural civilization to an industrial civilization. ]

[Productivity was greatly improved. ]

[And the geographical pattern of the Hexi Corridor happens to be oriented east-west. ]

[This greatly accelerated the exchange and growth of Eastern and Western civilizations. 】

【Also, for the Central Plains civilization. 】

【The military value of the Western Regions is very great. 】

【Because the West is monopolized. 】

【It is equivalent to monopolizing the stable economic source of the northern nomadic peoples. 】

……

Daming plane.

Old Zhu nodded as he looked.

Daming conquered the southwest border.

That's it.

When attacking the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Dali before.

I wanted to surrender King Liang.

26

But that guy even killed the envoy.

Old Zhu then sent the southern expedition army.

Now most of the southwest has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

But Old Zhu still basically relies on the jurisdiction of the local chieftains.

Daming did not participate too much in it.

It's not that Old Zhu has no interest in the southwest.

But the emperor is far away from here.

If we put a lot of energy into governing it.

It will drag down the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, facing tropical regions.

It is still mainly for local people to govern local people.

If it weren't for this battle.

Old Zhu really doesn't know much about the southwest.

As Tianmu said.

To conquer the southwest.

It is not such a simple thing.

On the contrary, even if the Ming Dynasty only spent a short year.

The manpower and military force behind it.

It is countless.

The local post road was rectified.

It also consumed countless manpower.

The expenses here.

Even Old Zhu felt his scalp tingling when he thought about it.

These are not small amounts.

To pacify the southwest.

Military conquest is just the beginning.

Only by setting up a large number of garrisons in the southwest.

Establishing a military command.

Can it be truly incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

This is destined to be a long war.

In the sky.

The comments of people in later generations kept flashing in the barrage.

——"The Yellow River Basin- Hexi Corridor - Tarim Basin Oasis - Central Asia - Persia - Fertile Crescent - Mediterranean Sea"

——"In modern times, there is a saying that people cannot adapt to the local climate. If there were no medicine in ancient times, they would have died."

——"The most developed agricultural latitudes are the ones that can communicate with the east and the west. There is naturally a big gap in agricultural development between the north and the south. Those in the north with poor agricultural conditions can only live a nomadic life."

——"In 30 years, the old emperor stayed in Zhuhai for a month to treat dampness for three years."

——"It is not easy to travel in Yunnan and Guizhou in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is a vassal state. Southeast Asia is within the scope of Vietnam."

——"Crossing the Yangtze River in the Han and Jin Dynasties was a great adventure of survival..."

——"So that's why even the Yuan Empire failed to conquer Southeast Asia."

——"General Helin died of malaria in Burma during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. ”

……

The Great Qing Plane.

Qianlong was greatly surprised.

Who is the great general Helin?

It is very similar to Helin’s name.

Perhaps it is a mistake made by later generations.

Heshen, who was standing by, saw this.

He broke out in a cold sweat.

This man was his younger brother.

He was brave and good at fighting, and acted seriously and respectfully.

With Heshen’s eloquence, The teeth are completely different.

He didn't expect that people in later generations would mention Helin.

If it is said that the emperor used Helin because of him.

That's not the case.

Helin has the merit of being good at fighting.

But now.

The other party is still just the Minister of War.

At first glance, seeing the news of his brother's death.

Heshen was also shocked.

"I don't know why they want to attack Burma... "

Qianlong muttered to himself.

Myanmar D has been behaving well recently.

But all along.

These barbarian chieftains always have ill intentions.

They also have many dissatisfactions with the Qing Dynasty.

Especially under the leadership of the local chieftains.

The ignorant people do not know that the imperial power is mighty.

It is understandable to do some stupid things.

If it is because of treason to send people to MYANMAR D.

It seems to make sense.

Qianlong did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise in the sky.

It did allow him to predict the rebellion here in advance.

But now everything has not started yet.

As long as we pay a little attention.

We can kill the war in the cradle.

Qianlong looked back at Heshen.

The latter shook his head quickly.

"I don't know anything about this matter! ”

Qianlong did not mean to blame him.

Waved his hand.

Heshen breathed a sigh of relief.

He led the army to fight.

It was not surprising to die on the battlefield at any time.

It was just that Heshen was worried that Qianlong would think too much.

He had to get involved with him.

That would be troublesome.

Fortunately, Qianlong just thought about it for a while.

So he let go of the topic.

He Shen was thinking about it in his heart, and he would go to his brother to explain it later.

As an elder brother, he couldn't bear to see his younger brother die outside.

I hope the other party can guard the sky curtain.

Inside the sky curtain.

The narration of later generations continues.

[The relatively barren and cold north. ]

[It is far from enough to support the army by relying solely on nomadism. ]

[So the opening of the Silk Road is a military purpose. ]

[But the military regime will change sooner or later. ]

[And the commercial trade brought about by accident has an impact on the ages. ]

[It brings wealth. ]

[It supports the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Eurasia. ]

[The trade route connected. ]

[It also makes the GDP of the Central Plains dynasty grow rapidly. 】

【The past. 】

【The Hexi Corridor has been plagued by wars for a long time. 】

【It has become the richest place in the world because of this. 】

【Of course. 】

【The smooth flow of international trade shows that the trade order is good. 】

【And order needs to be guaranteed by military force. 】

【This is the old problem that has dragged down the Han Dynasty. 】

【The supply of soldiers in distant places is a huge burden for the court. 】

【This has caused the Han Dynasty to be unable to support its national strength several times. 】

【Civil strife has occurred. 】

……

The Han plane.

Liu Che frowned.

If you want to control the Western Regions, it seems that simple war is not a long-term solution.

The original Han Dynasty in history.

It was even dragged down by this and led to the change of dynasties.

If you really want to control the Western Regions.

Then you must solve the problem of feeding soldiers far away.

Liu Che knows the difficulty of this.

Nowadays, productivity is limited.

It is impossible to perfectly complete the logistics task.

It will take a lot of manpower to transport the baggage to the Western Regions.

Compared with the war in the Central Plains.

Generally, after a war.

100,000 troops, at least 50,000 of them are civilian workers.

If you go to the Western Regions.

This proportion will be even greater.

The national strength of the Han Dynasty cannot support such extravagance.

Therefore, Liu Che initially wanted to join forces with Dayuezhi to fight against the Xiongnu.

With an ally, there is also an additional supply line.

However, the history in the sky tells.

Obviously, all his plans were dispelled.

If we cannot rely on the power of other countries in the Western Regions.

How can we control this golden corridor in the Western Regions?

Liu Che looked at the sky.

He seemed to understand.

The answer lies here! .
