Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 877
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, he had exactly this intention, although supporting a spokesperson can temporarily stabilize the situation.

But in terms of long-term solutions, it is not appropriate. According to previous experience, almost all the supported Khans will do things.

Although they think so, there are always people who look down on the place where birds don't lay eggs in the Western Regions. The Minister of Rites immediately wrote:

"Your Majesty, no, the Yarkand Khanate has a history of more than a hundred years and is deeply rooted in the city of Yarkand. If the Ming Dynasty sets up prefectures and counties in its area, it may not be able to effectively govern it, and may repeat the mistakes of history."

The words of the Minister of Rites immediately aroused the response of some civil officials. Daming had controlled Hami several times, but finally found that he could not control the situation and could only be occupied by Turpan.

"My minister agrees!"

Seeing someone supporting his point of view, Shangshu Ribu became even more excited:

Your Majesty, "The territory of Yarkand is high and cold, and the desert is endless. It is difficult for humans and animals to survive. It is like a chicken rib, and the food is tasteless. What is the use of such a barren land?"

In fact, what the Minister of Rites said was not unreasonable. In history, the Central Plains dynasty had entered the Western Regions several times, and these actions were often accompanied by confrontations with the northern grassland forces.

Many courtiers feel that now that the northern borders of the Ming Dynasty are stable and the Mongols in Mobei have also been wiped out, there is really no need to spend a lot of money to engage in the Western Regions. It is more profitable to engage in Nanyang! .

Besides, if the Yeerqiang Khanate is included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, the surrounding small countries will feel uneasy, and they will feel that Ming used power to oppress people, which is not in line with the restraint policy established by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

How did these civil servants know that the emperor, who was high above the palace, came here for the purpose of oppressing people with power, and he likes to expand the territory of China!

"My minister seconded the proposal, Mr. Fan's words are very reasonable!"

This time even a cabinet member agreed with the advice of Minister of Rites.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry also cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, as long as we can ensure the passage of the Hexi Corridor, we can control Hami and Turpan!"

Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, cupped his hands and said:
Your Majesty, "I support the suggestion of Master Sun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to remove the title of the country, set up a capital to protect the mansion, directly send officials to govern, send troops to station, and whoever dares to invade will destroy him..."

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chuanting, glared angrily at the civil servants who advised him to support the Great Khan:
"Your Majesty, the Ili River Valley and Yarkand City are important places leading to Central Asia, and the many rivers are suitable for building cities.

Where is the place of bitter cold, even the place of bitter cold is my territory of Ming Dynasty, not an inch can be lost, otherwise how can I be worthy of the soldiers of the Ming army who shed blood and sacrificed for it.

Such a good place should not be given up. If our Ming Dynasty sent troops to guard these places, even if the Yarkand people regained their vitality, they would not have the strength to pose a threat to our Ming Dynasty!The humble minister boldly suggested that the name of the Yarkand Khanate should be revoked, and troops should be stationed in the Ili River Valley and Yarkand City..."

Seeing the courtiers arguing, Zhu Youjian seemed to think about everything. Most of the civil servants supported the canonization of a puppet Khan in Yaerqiang, while the Wu Xun looked at this matter from the perspective of soldiers and supported the establishment of the Dufu.

Although Sun Chuanting is also a civil servant, he is not only summoned by Zhu Youjian, but also a handsome talent.

His and Qi Jiguang's and Sun Chengzong's suggestions are almost the same as Zhu Youjian's.

Seeing that the emperor had not made a statement, Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong cupped their hands again and said:
"Your Majesty, according to information from the Western Regions, the Kazakh Khanate next to Yarkand is showing signs of imminent movement, and its forces have penetrated into Yarkand.

If we don't step up the control of Yarkand and effectively deploy against the Kazakh Khanate, when they are full-fledged, this Western Expedition may lose its meaning! "

Before Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong finished speaking, a civil servant said nonchalantly:
"Your Majesty, what is the use of that cold and barren land?"

Qi Jiguang was furious immediately, he pointed at the man's nose with his hand and reprimanded:

"You ignorant person, you can't lose an inch of Ming's territory, don't blame the governor for knocking out your big teeth when you make such remarks..."

The civil servant trembled in fright, but he quickly realized that this was the imperial court, and Qi Jiguang would never dare to do anything to him, so he lay down on the ground and began to complain:
"Your Majesty, Qi Jiguang is roaring at the court, and he wants to knock out the big teeth of the humble minister, please make the decision..."

"Snapped……"

Zhu Youjian fiercely shot the Longshu case:

"Shut up, what Qi Jiguang said is right, although Daming's territory is large, every inch must be lost."

The civil servant trembled in fright, and hastily kowtowed:

"I know my mistake, please punish me..."

Zhu Youjian didn't look at him from the corner of his eyes at all, and waved to him:

"back off"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The civil servant hurriedly got up and retreated in a panic.

Zhu Youjian got up and looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and said:

"Stop arguing, I have decided to issue a decree to abolish the name of the Yarkand country, set up the Protectorate in Turpan and Yarkand City, set up prefectures and counties, and garrison troops in Yarkand City, Turpan and Ili River Valley!

The officials were selected and appointed by the Ministry of Officials as soon as possible, and the generals remained unchanged as previously discussed. Li Laiheng led the army to station in Yarkand City, and at the same time managed the Ili River Valley and Turpan.

Jiayuguan, Hami, and the Seven Guards of Kansai were defended and governed by Li Yan and his wife, and their original duties remained unchanged. "

"According to the purpose"

Officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies hurriedly received orders.

Zhu Youjian said again:
"Also, order Li Laiheng to temporarily garrison the Ili River Valley. Prince Zhu Cihong and Li Yan will lead the army from the Ili River Valley to the Kazakh Khanate, and take down the Sakh Khanate as soon as possible."

"what……"

Just after dealing with the issue of the Yarkand Khanate, before the ministers calmed down, Zhu Youjian suddenly sent an order to march on the Kazakh prairie in Central Asia.

This imperial decree was like a thunderbolt, which immediately stunned those civil servants.

In their hearts, what is the use of the Western Regions as a place of bitter cold.

Except for a Silk Road, the others are useless at all, and will often be robbed by nomads.

At that time, Daming will have to spend money and people to attack and recover. For Daming, the gain is definitely not worth the loss.How can it be beneficial to attack the countries in Southeast Asia.

In the past, they always thought that it was enough to keep their own one-third of an acre, and the ocean was so dangerous that they could not expand outward.

As a result, after tasting the sweetness, they began to yearn for the sea, boarding a boat and thinking about where to go.

Many places in the Western Regions are not only full of deserts and Gobi deserts, but also uninhabited, and the march is even more difficult. How can it be compared with the island countries on the sea.

How did they know that the country that eroded the most territory in China came from the far north.

Now Zhungeer, the Heshuo Khanate has taken the initiative to become the Ming vassal state, and the Kazakh Khanate not only did not show the slightest sign, but also occupied part of Zhungeer's territory.

Later, Tsarist Russia also invaded the Western Regions after conquering the Kazakh Khanate.

Until the 21st century, the part of the Ili River Valley that was encroached by them has not returned, and areas such as Lake Baikal are still the pain of the Chinese people.

The reason why Zhu Youjian wanted to march to the Kazakh Khanate was not only to deter Zhungeer and Tibet.It was also for a showdown with Tsarist Russia on the Kazakh prairie.
