Chapter 1498 Dilemma
"What does the emperor mean?" After leaving the side hall, Sun Jiagan grabbed Jiang Jin who was walking behind and asked.
Zhu Yicheng did not make a decision in the side hall just now, and did not even let the military take action. He just said this lightly and then concluded the meeting.
The meeting ended in such a terrible way, which made Sun Jiagan feel like he was stuck in his throat, but it was not convenient to ask Zhu Yicheng directly. He could only ask Jiang Jin to inquire after coming out.
Jiang Jin shook his head and didn't say anything. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe Jiang Jin guessed something but didn't say it. Sun Jiagan sighed helplessly and walked towards the Military Affairs Office with Jiang Jin. The group went further and further, and their figures soon hid behind the palace wall.
In the side hall, the military ministers had already left, but Zhu Yicheng was still sitting in his original position. His eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhu Yicheng ended the meeting just now. It was not that Zhu Yicheng wanted to do this, but that the current situation made Zhu Yicheng a little unable to make a decision for a while.
From Zhu Yicheng's personal and the Ming Dynasty, in this case, troops should be sent to Tibet as soon as possible to prevent Cewang Alabandan from being destroyed by the Qing Dynasty in Tibet, which led to the Qing Dynasty occupying Tibet.
In addition, Yue Zhongqi from Hami should immediately send troops to the Western Regions, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty's main force in Tibet to capture the western region of the Western Regions first, and further compress the other party's survival range.
Now Kant's reform is doomed to fail. Under the oppression of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the people are living in poverty. The local resistance forces are becoming more and more intense. In any case, it is a great opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the Qing Dynasty and revenge. At the same time, it can also solve the problems of the Western Regions and Tibet, so as to directly capture these two territories into the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Yicheng did not do this immediately. First of all, Zhu Yicheng felt that although the time had come, it was not yet fully ripe. Whether it was the Western Regions or Tibet, these two places were different from the Central Plains. Although the Ming Dynasty now had the ability to take over the two places, it was an urgent burden for the Ming Dynasty after taking over.
Let’s not talk about Tibet for now, let’s talk about the Western Regions first. After the failure of Kant’s reform, the situation in the Western Regions will inevitably be extremely bad next year. With the virtue of the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Western Regions will naturally not make the people of the Western Regions easier. It is inevitable to plunder the Western Regions to fill the Qing Dynasty itself. If the Ming Dynasty occupied the Western Regions at that time, the burden would be transferred from the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to stabilize the situation in the Western Regions, it would inevitably have to pay a huge price.
Although the Ming Dynasty was rich, it was not possible to ask for it. Not to mention anything else, just a problem of food would be a big problem.
Judging from the current transportation capacity of the Ming Dynasty and the construction corps in the Hami area, the food, grass and materials on the front line can only meet the needs of some regions except for meeting military demand. It is impossible to stabilize the large areas and population in the western Western Regions.
Once the Ming Dynasty cannot stabilize the place, there will inevitably be chaos in the Western Regions. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will need to continue to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to appease stability. This will lead to great pressure on the Ming regime.
Zhu Yicheng didn't want to carry this burden. If he didn't carry the burden at the moment, the pressure was all on Man Qing. No matter what the Qing Dynasty did, it had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. But once the Ming Dynasty took over, this burden would become the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty.
