Chapter 542: Add fire to Timur(2/2)
Beyond that is Timur.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand Da Sun's plan, which was entirely to pave a way forward for the future Ming Dynasty.
Concrete roads have advantages and disadvantages for today's cavalry.
The advantage is that it can quickly mobilize the country's troops.
The disadvantage is that the enemy can quickly counterattack through this concrete road.
The biggest difference between Timur and the Ming Dynasty is that there are many fortified cities in the Ming Dynasty, and there are city defenses at each pass.
No matter how well the roads are built, you still have to conquer the city.
On the other hand, there were relatively few people on Timur's side in the city, and there was no such exaggeration on the Ming side.
From the Western Region, there are fewer mountains.
A large number of plain areas allow war horses to gallop freely.
This is also the key to why the Mongolian cavalry is invincible throughout the entire western region.
If you want to conquer the western region, cavalry is absolutely essential.
The grassland military base established by Zhu Ying is an extremely critical existence.
Otherwise, why would Zhu Di and Lan Yu, the two most famous and powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, be allowed to go to the grasslands to practice cavalry and conquer tribes?
You know, the current grassland military base sounds very simple, but in fact it is a huge gold sales cave.
This is only for now. If we can capture the entire Beiyuan in the future, the burden on Ming Dynasty will be extremely huge.
In terms of rations alone, that is an astronomical sum.
This is because the Ming Dynasty's current economic prosperity is in a period of rapid development, coupled with the continuous planting of high-yielding crops, it can be said that it can afford it.
Otherwise, how could the kings of all dynasties in the Central Plains have thought of such a method.
It’s just because there is absolutely no possibility of burden.
If you do something like this without high-yielding crops, then you are just waiting for the demise of the dynasty.
Without enough food supplies, those barbarians on the grasslands will listen to your ideological education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
It can be said that everything currently developed in Ming Dynasty is based on the premise of high-yielding crops.
In the entire north, corn has already been planted on a large scale.
This is an extremely high-quality feed that can breed a large number of high-quality war horses.
Provides huge guarantee for actions on the grassland.
This is also the case with the three major high-yield crops. Basically, only sweet potatoes and potatoes can be seen in the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty, and corn has hardly appeared in the eyes of the people.
Almost all of it was used for transportation to the north.
What we are currently waiting for.
That is to completely control Beiyuan.
As long as the Northern Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, the black land of Liaodong can be fully developed.
When there is enough food, there will be no uprising among the people, and they can fully flex their muscles to achieve their goals.
At that time, why couldn't we have some ideas about the Timurid Empire?
Zhu Ying smiled and replied: "Timur's biggest hidden danger is the heir."
"Once Timur dies and the successor is not as strong and outstanding as him, then it will be like the four great khanates in the past, fighting for each other and falling apart."
"When the Mongolian cavalry no longer listens to the orders of one person, coupled with the riots in the areas ruled by his command, all the areas conquered by Timur will inevitably form an extremely powerful storm."
"When that time comes, it depends on whether our Ming Dynasty can take over."
"Of course, if even Bei Yuan cannot be completely conquered, there is nothing they can do. Even if they are fat, they can only watch."
"At most, the Chamber of Commerce can take advantage of the chaos to gain some trivial benefits."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and sighed in his heart.
