The local officials of the Ming Dynasty were directly subordinate to the central government, which made the emperor and prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty extremely coveted. However, they had too much fun in the initial stage and conquered the whole world in one fell swoop.

As a result, they were exhausted. At least for the next ten or twenty years, they would not be able to solve this problem. If it were not for the Zhuxia Federation behind the Northern Song Dynasty, many people would have already made up their minds to become kings on their own.

.

This was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he decisively stopped Ming's extreme expansion plan. This was his only move after leaving the throne.

A population of tens of millions is not enough to control the world. At least a population of hundreds of millions is needed to rule the world. This is a point that the Ming royal family unanimously agrees on. Otherwise, like the Northern Song Dynasty, they will slaughter the barbarians all over the world, which they don't like.

Wouldn't it be better to turn those barbarians into laborers?

They were well aware of the Northern Song Dynasty's choice, simply because the local population was insufficient and their ambitions were too big.

They would not choose this way, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a population of at least more than 100 million, and tens of millions of them would have to endure the hardships of the Little Ice Age. They wanted these people very much.

They supported the late Ming Dynasty in calming down the troubled times, and then absorbed the population of the late Ming Dynasty in the troubled times to supplement themselves. This is what they want to do.

As for how to absorb it, it means giving money, food and land.

What the people of Zhuxia want is land that can grow food. Everyone has a land complex. It can even be said that if the land is stable, the people will have peace of mind and the country will be solid. The five thousand years of development history of Zhuxia is a piece of land.

revolutionary history.

What Erda Ming lacks is not land but population.

I don’t know if they confirmed that the Northern Song Dynasty also lacked population, so the Northern Song Dynasty was now secretly seducing the population of the main world and the Millennium World by attracting young women. It is said that it has absorbed tens of thousands of permanent residents.

The Ming Dynasty did not want to learn from the Northern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty was too soft and came up with this idea. As for the Ming Dynasty, they did not want to do this. It would be too embarrassing.

The most important thing is that there were too many women and tigresses in the Ming Dynasty, which scared away many caring people. Think about Qi Jiguang, think about why you adults like to raise cats, and why you build grapevines in your own yards, and you will understand.

Talking too much will bring tears to my eyes.

After Ming Dynasty decided on the strategy, he immediately started to implement it.

Lan Yu took Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Zuo Liangyu and left the capital with the guest troops and the Fourth Guards Battalion. These three were considered to be talented generals but lacked experience, and Lan Yu no matter what

It seemed that they were all top generals in the early Ming Dynasty, so they were directly placed under Lan Yu's hands for training.

On the way, the three of them were fooled by Lan Yu non-stop. They played various chess games and actual military exercises one after another. In the end, they lost all the way from the capital to Xuanda University.

But it's not without some gains. Anyway, according to Lan Yu, these people can handle themselves alone even if they were put together in the chaos in the early Ming Dynasty.

Lan Yu's evaluation of these three people is pretty good, but she only has some opinions about Zuo Liangyu. He is too ambitious and must be suppressed by someone at any time, otherwise he will be an ambitious wolf, so he can only be the deputy commander.

, cannot be the head coach, and once Zuo Liangyu becomes big, he will be killed.

And Sun Chuanting is a military general who leads troops in war. If you leave the troops and horses to him, everything will be worry-free. Just let him perform alone. This is a military general who is Confucian at heart. He is a leader who can be trusted absolutely.

talent.

Lu Xiangsheng, it's best not to lead troops in war. Although this man may look like a scholar, he is actually a brave warrior-like figure in his heart. I don't know how such a person was born among civil servants. And compared with leading troops,

When it comes to fighting, this guy is very good at training troops.

The guest troops and the soldiers and horses of the Fourth Guard Battalion who came this time have become much more capable than before due to his training all the way. Now, even if these people were placed in worlds such as the early Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty where there were physical training troops, they would not be able to survive.

They are considered to be members of a powerful army. Although they cannot be compared with the real top teams, they will have no problem sweeping the world here.

It can be said that as long as the ballast stones sent by Zhu Yuanzhang are not included, these troops are invincible.

This brings up a question for Lan Yu: who is the more useless of these two prodigal sons, Zhu Youjian who has such a strong army, or Zhu Yunwen who is with Zhengshuo.

This problem troubled him for a long time.

It wasn't until he witnessed a Little Ice Age that lasted for more than ten years that he realized that Zhu Yunwen was even more useless.

After arriving at Xuanda Land, Lan Yu took his own soldiers and hid in the rear, leaving all the matters in the hands of three people, and told them the purpose of this time.

After learning that they were going to cleanse Xuanda, kill the eight major locust merchants, and meet with Huang Taiji to hunt for food, the three people began to get excited.

They didn't know how many bandits they fought along the way, and they didn't know how many times they were defeated by Lan Yu. But they understood one thing, that is, in this troubled world, they are truly invincible.

The rest of Guan Ning's army couldn't be defeated, but these people under their command had completely destroyed Guan Ning's army before they came.

Coupled with the large army brought by Lan Yu, they are sure to win no matter what.

If this battle is won, it will go down in history.

These three people now all have one problem, that is, they attach great importance to fame. Lan Yu estimates that this is a common trait among the literati and military officers of the Ming Dynasty in the past few hundred years, a pathological pursuit of fame before and after death.

However, Lan Yu didn't care about these things. In his opinion, asking for something is much better than asking for nothing.

After Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Zuo Liangyu arrived at Xuanda University, they locked themselves in the room for a long time. They discussed for several days and made several plans, and then put them together one by one.

All plans were overturned because they found that no matter how they made the plan, they had one problem, that is, Huang Taiji and the Eight Banners powerful force. If these people didn't solve it, their plans would have loopholes, and they would all give trouble to Xuanda and Zhangjiakou's locusts.

Shang left a trace of life, which they didn't like very much.

Finally, they discussed and decided to see how Lan Yu could solve this problem.

But Lan Yu had already ran back to the capital at this time. He only left one guard of soldiers and horses to take over Zhangjiakou. He didn't explain anything else. In his opinion, the Eight Banners of Houjin were shouting loudly in the sky.

Being dissatisfied and invincible is just something I brag about.
