Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 827

There is a foundation for building a country, and there is a sequence for attacking.

Xizhou, Gaochang City.

This is a new city, a new city under planning and construction.

"Xizhou is directly connected to Ili, and it is 350 miles away from the capital. There are 29 towns, but all of them are empty. Now they are immigrating to settle in one after another."

The chief assistant, Wen Anzhi, accompanied the emperor to inspect Gaochang New City in early spring. Many people on the construction site were busy working under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

In the distance are white snow-capped mountains.

The return of spring.

"Have you packed your bags, sir?"

"Well, it's all packed."

"Bring back more local products from the Western Regions, wine from Gaochang, carpets from the Western Regions, knives from Yingjisha, and even Fergana's hard-earned BMW..." the emperor said with a smile.

Wen Anzhi was about to return to the capital, and there were many escorts from the imperial camp going back together.

The emperor rewarded Wen Shoufu with a bloody horse and twenty captives from the Western Regions as slaves.

"Your Majesty really won't go back?"

Holding a whip in his hand and stepping on buckskin boots, Zhu Yihai walked on the construction site that was beginning to thaw, "I've made up my mind that it will be done once and for all, but it won't be done overnight, so I'll just stay here for three to five years , you go back to assist the prince in handling the government affairs, this can be regarded as an opportunity for the prince to practice.

I am outside, and the prince is inside.

I am responsible for expanding the territory and restoring the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The prince supervises the country and regents, manages the internal affairs, secures and educates the people, and improves the economy and people's livelihood. "

The emperor's plans were astonishing.

However, Wen Anzhi, who had long been accustomed to the emperor's character, was not too surprised when he learned of this decision, and he didn't even directly object. After some conversations, Wen Anzhi finally decided to obey the imperial edict, although it was almost a bit groundbreaking.

"Zhu Dadian and Yan Wogong will stay with me, and the other ministers will go back!"

The emperor's strategy for the Western Regions is long-term and ambitious, and Wen Anzhi and others can be regarded as participating in the formulation. They are very clear about the emperor's ambitions and are very supportive. At the current stage, of course, it is possible to leave a cabinet minister as the supervisor of the Western Regions, but the situation is so complicated. It is definitely not as efficient and convenient for the emperor to be here for thousands of miles. After all, the emperor is the strategic decision maker, which is different from the situation in the general court.

"Yarqiang is now in chaos, and all of them have lost their heads. Abdullah Khan is now fighting with his son Yao Lebas. The father and son are fighting each other. Oqier Tuqichen Khan, who strangled Lute, has accepted His Majesty's orders. Troops have been dispatched, and they are attacking Kuqa and Baicheng."

"Turpan Khan Amulun killed his younger brother Babai, purged the Baishan faction in the east, and fought fiercely with the Junggar in Tingzhou. Both sides fought bloody red on the banks of the Manas River. The river was completely red, and the casualties were very heavy. The fight continues like this , Amulun probably won't be able to hold on anymore."

"Yalabas is almost unable to hold on now. Abdul Raha Khan's younger brother Aksu Governor Ismayel has now raised troops to serve the king. Yaolabah will soon be surrounded by all sides."

Zhu Yihai just laughed when he heard this.

The current situation in Yarkand was originally intentional by the emperor, and he worked hard to arrange it for a long time. For Yarkand, this is naturally unfortunate, but for Ming, this is the best situation.

Junggar, Jianlute, and Heshuote have also all ended.

"The Junggar's offensive, to be honest, surprised me a bit. The fight was a bit broken. Twenty thousand Junggar elite riders didn't even see the city walls of Urumqi. There are dozens of towns in Urumqi, so far. How many do they occupy?"

Zhu Yihai also admitted that he had some preconceived impressions of Junggar. He always remembered that it was a powerful country that took the Manchu Qing three generations to pacify, but he forgot that Junggar hadn't risen yet.The rapid pacification of the Central Plains, especially the rapid start of Ming Dynasty to intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions, made Junggar lose the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and grow stronger.

Before, Daming put on the airs of the big brother and pulled the tribes of Moxi to form an alliance, and then Moxi, Mobei and Monan formed an alliance together, half tempted and half forced, so that all the Mongolian tribes recognized Zhu Yihai as the new Khan of Mongolia. worship together.

Not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but the Great Khan, the co-lord of Mongolia, this identity is very important.

Now Zhu Yihai is here with the Mongols, and his specific identity is actually the emperor of the Ming Empire and the Great Khan of Mongolia. Before that, Daming and Mongolia belonged to an alliance relationship. In many internal affairs of Mongolia, the status of Emperor Ming cannot directly interfere, but the Great Khan of Mongolia This identity is fine.

Zhu Yihai used his dual identities to rebalance the various ministries of Heshuote, especially to reunite the Duerbert and Huite ministries that had been separated and almost annexed by Junggar, and supported them to jointly establish a khanate. Readjust the land for them. At the beginning, Zhu Yihai used Wu, Tu, and Ha as bait to get Junggar to agree to this arrangement.

And Chechen Khan also established another khanate with Heshuote headquarters, allowing Heshuote to separate the two countries, and also allowed Heshuote, which was originally divided and weakened, to stabilize its position, especially the Western Regions.

In fact, Junggar seemed to have gained a lot of territory in the previous covenant, but it was actually framed, which interrupted their aggressive expansion momentum, especially if they worked harder, they could completely eliminate Duerbert. , Huite annexed, and even let the Heshuote headquarters give up the position of leader.

It's a pity that it was one step away.

Up to now, although Junggar has also established a khanate, Batur was promoted from Huntaiji to Khan, but he still only commands a part of Junggar, and he is only a deputy leader in Oirat.

Not to mention that above the leader of the alliance, there is Zhu Yihai, the Great Khan of the Mongolian leader.

All the ministries sent troops to help him defeat the three places in Beiting, but turned around and lost them again. It can be said that it was nothing.

Now come back to play again, the result is not good.

"Arimu of the Minge tribe has officially raised the flag in Fergana, established the Dawan Khanate, and claimed to be a Khan. He is intensifying the attack on the Hezhuo. He sent envoys to offer gold and sweat Blood BMW, I hope to be officially recognized and canonized by the imperial court, and purchase firearms."

"Bukhara Khan sent envoys to protest, Khiva also objected, and Kazakhs also protested. I hope Daming will not admit it, let alone canonize Airimu."

Zhu Yihai laughed again.

The captive workers who were entangled in the distance couldn't help but look over, but the guard Seng Ge directly whipped him over and scolded loudly.

Junggar and Chanhui have failed repeatedly in Manas Khan, and Sengge has been a little listless recently. He is concerned about his father, brother and tribe, and is concerned about the war in the Khanate, but as the emperor's guard, he cannot leave or participate in the war. Fighting, you can only vent your anger with these white hats.

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't bother with Bukhara, Khiva, and Kazakhs, and made a decree to recognize and canonize Ailimu as Dawan Khan, and make him King Zhongshun and General Huaihua...
As for the firearms he wants to buy, he will be given the same price as Turpan Khan, gold, silver, jade, cattle, sheep and horses, food, fur, and the goods will be given as soon as the money is paid. "

Anyway, what they sell are not the latest firearms. In fact, Zhu Yihai himself doesn't mind selling some new firearms to them. If firearms can't be made by themselves, they have to be controlled by others.

At least ten times the profit, not to mention that Zhu Yihai is willing to sell it, and now there is no objection in the court, this thing is too profitable.In particular, it is very cost-effective to directly exchange firearms for food and horses.

Both Bukhara and Khiva were descended from the Shaybani dynasty, and Kazakhs originally belonged to the Uzbek branch. After being defeated in Beijing, the Wara grand master turned his direction to the west and sent his son to the Uzbek Khan. The country, Abuhai Khan was defeated, and the two descendants of Jochi Khanate left with a part of the people. With the support of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, they established the Kazakh Khanate. They were called Kazakh-Uzbek people.

Abu Hai Khan's grandson, Shaybani, later also with the support of Eastern Chagatai Khan Mahemu, made a comeback, reorganized the tribe, destroyed the Timurid Empire, established the Shaybani Khanate, and later moved the capital to Bulaha. So it was renamed the Bukhara Khanate, and because it was extinct, it was succeeded by the son-in-law Zani, so it was renamed the Zani Dynasty.

A descendant of Shaybani defeated the Persians in Hualazimo and established the Khiva Khanate.

Central Asia has been occupied by Uzbeks for more than a hundred years, and the Chagatai Khanate also withdrew from the river early.

Now that Bukhara is weakening, Kazakhs are on the rise, and Khiva is not bad. At this time, Zhu Yihai intends to support the Minge tribe to establish a country in Fergana in advance, in order to muddy the water and contain the Kazakh Khanate.

If they opposed the protest, Daming would obey their opinions, how could that be possible.

This is not in the interest of Daming.

"Are the Nogai people still not moving?"

"I heard that the tribes are arguing fiercely. They are very active in breaking away from Kazakhs and rebuilding the Nogai Khanate, but the leaders of the various tribes are arguing endlessly over the distribution of benefits for the new Khanate."

There are three Yuzi in Kazakhstan, large, medium and small Yuzi. Yuzi also means region and tribe. Small Yuzi is its western part, mainly composed of conquered Nogai tribes. The migration was very scattered, and it was finally conquered by Kazakhstan.

However, Kazakhstan itself is a nomadic khanate. It is composed of three Yuzi, and each Yuzi has many tribes. This is a tribal alliance. It is the co-owner.

Each tribe still has a lot of autonomy, especially the characteristics of a nomadic country. Tribes, herdsmen, and soldiers are all one, and everything is based on the tribe.

With the instruction and support of the Ming Emperor, the Nogai people are of course willing to stand on their own, but the Nogai people are not united and fight fiercely.

"Then send someone over there, directly confer the title of Khan on the most powerful leader of the Nogai tribe, and give him the title of guardian. Most of the other tribes will set up a governor's mansion, give him the title of governor, and give him the title of prince and Taiji."

Xiaoyuzi is close to the Caspian Sea, so the Caspian Sea Protectorate should be established directly.

The place of the Four Wars in Hezhong is also a site that must be controlled. Only when Hezhong is controlled can the western border of the empire be truly stable.

To control it, we must first weaken the Uzbeks here. Now Kazakhs are the strongest, and Bukhara has great potential. We will further weaken Bukhara and Kazakhs through the Dawan Khanate and the Nogai Khanate, so that the river can be controlled by It is undoubtedly more in line with Ming's interests to turn the Three Kingdoms into the Five Kingdoms.

Just like supporting Turpan Khan to stand on his own feet, he can be supported as an agent to exhaust himself with Junggar, and it can also weaken Yarkand.

This battle has only been fought for a short time, and Turpan Khan Amulun is completely inseparable from Daming's support. He not only desperately spends money and buys equipment with livestock money and food, but even has to take the initiative to invite Daming to come to Turpan to station in defense.

A large area of ​​land was also set aside for Daming to establish a garrison in Gaochang New City here, and to establish the post station Silk Road in Gaochang, Yiwu, and Dunhuang.

According to the current trend, in less than three years, Turpan Khan Amulun will be completely reduced to the puppet of Daming. When the power in his hands is exhausted, he will only be completely attached to Daming, and eventually Eastern Xinjiang will be controlled by Daming.

"Give Amulun another batch of artillery and let them deploy to Manas City to strengthen the defense. For the time being, we can't directly send troops to fight Junggar, but it's okay to sell some firearms secretly."

Wen Anzhi smiled and said, "Understood, let's let Amulun's son Abdullah lead the Jirijis to 'rob' again."

"Hahaha~"
