Chapter 110: Man Can Conquer Heaven! Emperor Yongle’s Ambition!
Latest website:
This series of serial poisonous schemes made everyone stunned for a moment.
However, the only thing that these giants present understood was that the imperial court purchased large quantities of goats from nomadic tribes.
At first, they thought that the King of Han was planning to use the temptation of profit to get the grassland nobles to raise a large number of goats, thus reducing the number of war horses.
But the real purpose of Prince Han is to destroy the pasture!
Even the next few steps, including buying snakes, foxes and wolves, releasing rabbits, mice and ants, digging ditches in lakes, etc., it seems that everything the King of Han did was to destroy the grasslands and pastures!
But, is this really possible?
Changing the landform is something that only gods can do, right?
Zhu Di frowned, his mind went blank, he opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "Second brother, what are you doing all this for?"
Not to mention the effect of the next few steps, just to induce the Mongolian tribes to raise goats, the court would have to invest a lot of money and resources.
How could those prairie aristocrats be moved without the free money in front of them?
Therefore, the "best plan" for the second child was very involved, and Zhu Di had to ask clearly.
Facing Emperor Yongle's questions, Zhu Gaoxu seemed a little distressed.
To put it bluntly, these seemingly inexplicable methods he proposed are actually destroying the grassland food chain and the ecological balance of the grassland.
In order to make money, the grassland nobles drove the common people to breed goats in large numbers and hunt snakes, foxes, wild wolves and other predators. The Ming court secretly released small animals such as rabbits and mice into the grassland.
Under the circumstances of the ebb and flow, without the restriction of natural enemies, rabbits and mice have an amazing reproductive capacity, so their numbers will increase dramatically in a short period of time!
Rabbits and mice eat grass roots and dig holes everywhere. Coupled with the dense goats, it is strange that the grassland pastures are overused and not exhausted.
Zhu Di and the others don't know just these basic knowledge, so how can they explain it reasonably?
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time before finally speaking.
"Perhaps you think that the favorable location is determined by nature, but I want to tell you today, man can defeat heaven!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Can man conquer heaven?
Hiss...you fucking dare to say that!
However, Zhu Gaoxu's next words completely subverted everyone's understanding.
He did not use gorgeous words or parallelism, but started from the simplest sheep eating grass and wolves eating sheep!
For example, in the Lanzhou area, when wild wolves were rampant, the number of sheep herds dropped sharply. Later, people killed all the wild wolves that had increased in number. As a result, scavengers led by vultures first became extinct, and then a large number of herbivores multiplied. The final result was The vegetation in the Lanzhou area was severely damaged, and the yellow sand swept across the sky and cannot be restored to this day!
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and other important officials all changed their expressions.
The food chain is the easiest to understand. After all, everyone still knows that sheep eat grass and wolves eat sheep.
However, "ecological balance" is a new term that they don't quite understand, but it does not prevent everyone from understanding Zhu Gaoxu's profound meaning!
The precedent of Lanzhou is right in front of us. The number of wild wolves has increased, and the number of sheep has decreased. People have hunted wild wolves, but this has also led to the number of sheep. The final result is that the fertile pasture in Lanzhou no longer exists, and it has become the next door to the sky of yellow sand. desert!
How similar is the last strategy of His Highness the King of Han to the Lanzhou precedent!
It's just that Lanzhou is God's will, but His Highness the King of Han now wants to do it for man!
Assuming that what His Highness the King of Han said is true, there is an ecological balance in the grassland and pastures.
Then the Ming court purchased goats at a high price, and the prairie nobles saw the profits and drove the common people to breed goats in large numbers.
Then the second plan was launched, using money to lure grassland civilians to kill a large number of snakes, foxes, wild wolves and other predators, destroying the food chain!
Then the third plan was launched. Daming secretly released rabbits and mice into the grassland. Without natural enemies, their number would increase dramatically, completely destroying the ecological balance of the grassland!
The more everyone thought about it, the more frightened they became, and their eyes towards Prince Han were full of fear.
This plan is really a desperate plan!
Zhu Gaoxu continued nonchalantly: "These are changes in the food chain, which have led to a significant reduction in pasture. At this time, a rumor was spread that digging ditches from lakes and swamps for irrigation can make the pasture grow more lush."
"Why do this?"
Gu Zuo was puzzled and asked the question first.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and gave his answer.
"Also because of balance, everyone knows that the grass next to prairie lakes is fatter, right?"
"As long as a large amount of water in the lake leaves the lake, the balance will be broken. Eventually the lake will dry up, and the entire pasture will harden, the vegetation will degrade, and the land will become desertified, just like Lanzhou..."
At this point, everyone still doesn't understand, but his series of vicious schemes are too vicious and vicious!
The emperor launched a northern expedition and used force to drive away the barbarians.
But it's good for you, you just ransacked someone's home and destroyed their roots!
Zhu Di was also inexplicably frightened, and a scene appeared in his mind.
There were fewer and fewer cattle and horses on the entire grassland, but more and more goats and rabbits. Then there was not enough grass, and the Mongolian barbarians began to dig ditches to divert water from lakes and other swamps.
However, soon after, there was less and less grass in the grassland, and then pests became rampant, until the grassland completely degraded into desert.
The fat and juicy pastures of the past were finally turned into a barren land filled with yellow sand because of the series of vicious tricks of Han King Zhu Gaoxu!
Finally, all the grassland tribes migrated westward and lost the pastures and lakes on which they relied for survival. They had no way to continue to survive here!
Thinking about it, Zhu Di couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. UU read www.uukanshu.net
"Second brother, this method of yours is so destructive!"
Before Zhu Gaoxu could speak, Big Fatty also persuaded with deep understanding: "Second brother, once this method is successfully implemented, it will not be a small fight, but will evolve into a plan to exterminate the entire family!"
"As the planner of the plan, you will be riddled with resentment and you will die a happy death!"
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
What?
Oh my god!
You don't deserve to die!
I don’t want to say it, but you insist on me saying it, and now you’re going to curse me after saying it?
"Boss, don't worry, I will handle this matter in your name, and all the credit will be given to you!"
Zhu Gaochi: "!!!"
After hearing this, Big Fatty's face turned green, and he waved his hands in a nonchalant manner.
"Hey, second brother, please don't introduce me, I have something to say..."
"That's enough, shut up!"
Zhu Di shouted angrily, stopping the two brothers from teasing each other.
"Second brother, this plan of yours cannot be accomplished in a day, right?"
"Dad, it's true. It could be three to five years at the earliest, or seven or eight years at the earliest. If the plan goes smoothly, the Mobei Grassland will become a Gobi desert!"
After Zhu Di heard this, he immediately fell silent.
It can be as fast as three to five years, or as slow as seven or eight years!
Three to five years?
Seven or eight years?
I can't wait that long!
He is an emperor who rebelled to seize the throne, and he needs civil and military skills to prove himself!
If the second strategy is implemented smoothly, it can indeed solve the border troubles in northern Xinjiang without any bloodshed.
However, the only drawback is that it takes too long!
When he grows up, he Zhu Di may not still be alive!
"Second brother, your plan is good. I'll leave it to you to implement it. The six departments and one hundred divisions will give you your full cooperation!"
"But this battle must be fought. The Northern Expedition in the spring will not change!"
