Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 881 Time is running out

Lanzhou.

The fiery red lanterns have been hung high, and the flavor of the new year is getting stronger. This year, Lanzhou is becoming more and more lively because of the arrival of the emperor. Qingkang Weizang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Burma Annan, and Moxi Monan Modong Mobei all come. Even Japan, Liuqiu, North Korea, Dawan and other vassal states specially sent two envoys to Ming Dynasty, one to Beijing to court the regent crown prince, and the other to Lanzhou to court the emperor.

The Yellow River in the cold winter seems to have changed from a big man in the northwest to a small jade jade all of a sudden. The river flows slowly and quietly, and the whole river is like a beautiful forging belt of jasper.

The river has neither the turbulence nor the turbidity of summer.

In previous years, at the end of October, the weather turned cold, and the water of the Yellow River gradually froze into drifting ice sheets. As the temperature continued to drop, they would connect into large ice sheets. Finally, on a night when a cold current blew through, the ice blocks formed an ice bridge. , making a loud crashing sound.

After a few more days of freezing, the ice bridge will be completely frozen and hard, allowing direct travel between the two sides.

But this year is the Chinese New Year, and the water of the Yellow River in Lanzhou is still clear, green and flat, flowing gently, and there is not even a bit of floating ice.

This year is a rare warm winter.

Over the years, everyone seems to be getting used to the colder and colder winters. Even Taihu Lake can run horse races on ice, it can snow heavily in Guangzhou, and even Hainan Island occasionally snows.

This year, the Yellow River in Lanzhou did not freeze.

Some people say that this is an auspicious scene from a sage.

Zhu Yihai lived in Suwang Mansion in Lanzhou. Suwang was originally enshrined in Zhangye, Suzhou, and guarded the western border.

King Su, who moved to Lanzhou, rebuilt Suwang City and built Jintian Temple outside the city.Jintian Temple is located in the west of Lanzhou City, next to the Agan River. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Yunfeng Temple here. Later, the Song Dynasty recovered Lanzhou and built Jiuyang Temple here.

"There are 36 pagoda trees in this temple, which were planted when Yunfeng Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. They are called 36 Thunder Generals thousands of years ago. There are also 700 Song Dynasty cypress trees that are 72 years old, called 72 Land Generals."

Zhu Yihai looked at the thousand-year-old Tang Huai in the temple. It is said that the height is more than 20 meters, and the diameter at breast height is more than three meters.

Tang Huai and Song Bai have witnessed the history here.

In addition to Tang Huai and Song Bai, there are many exquisite murals left by Tang and Song Dynasties in Jintian Temple, and it is famous for its peonies. Unfortunately, Zhu Yihai's season is not right, so you can't see those peonies of various varieties.

"After the death of Kundu Lun Ubashi, his eldest son Maima Dalai Ubashi wanted to inherit the position of leader, but his younger brothers refused to accept it."

Kundu Lun Utaishi had sixteen sons, three of whom were killed in Yuledusi Grassland and Yili River Valley, and the remaining thirteen wanted to be the boss after their father died, but none of them obeyed the other. Two scattered, each with his subordinates scattered.

Some voted for Chu Huer of Junggar, some of them voted for Yang Jier Khan of Kazakhstan, some actually voted for He Shuoqi Khan of Durbert, some planned to go west to vote for Turghut, and some directly Those who returned to their pastures even planned to go to Qinghai.

But Kundu Lun Wutaishi united with Chu Huer to fight against the Ming Dynasty this time. As a result, the base camp was raided by the Ming army, and Yili was lost again. Once he died, the princes fought among themselves, and their strength was even more scattered. It was completely scattered, and each of the thirteen brothers There are not many people below.

There were also some who saw the situation was not good, and went directly to vote for their cousin Ozier Tuhan, and some followed their cousin Abarai. In short, Kundu Lun Utaishi was also an Oirat tiger, and he established himself as Heshutdur Gezi Khan. , Indeed, there was a lot of momentum, and even Erqitu's brother Abarai Nuoyan led his troops to join.

But now it collapsed all of a sudden.

"Maimada Lai Ubashi now retreats to the Habuta Sea between Chahan Sailam Lake (Salim Lake) and Ala Lake, and sends his son Sonomu Huitaiji to come to plead guilty and pay tribute. The tribute is Camels, horses, black fox fur, black otter skin, etc., and sent his son Danjin Huntaiji to the old place of Yili Zhuge to plead guilty, and also sent Darhan Zaisang to Aksu Oqiertu to plead guilty, and found the Huangjiao Temple Come Bandida."

"The remaining thirteen sons of Kundu Lun Utaishi, is the eldest, Maima Dalai Ubashi, willing to join?" Zhu Yihai sat under the towering tree.

"According to Mr. Zhuge, all the younger brothers of Maima Dalai Ubashi are not convinced by him, but they are very close to Abalai. He inherited the position of Heshuote Khan from Kundu Lun Utaishi, intending to lead them to defeat his elder brother Ozier Tuhan and seize the position of leader of Heshuote."

Zhu Yihai rubbed the left back of his head, but the needle-like pain didn't ease.

Although the Western Regions, Northeast and other fronts performed well this winter, the emperor's body suddenly fell ill.

First, there was an acute attack of asthma, tossing for a while, and then Zhu Yihai found that he had diabetes, and he became thinner and thinner day by day. Then, on the way to Lanzhou from Xining not long ago, he suddenly small stroke.

He lost control of half of his body for several days. Although the emperor seemed to have recovered after the imperial doctor injected medicine, Zhu Yihai knew that his body was not as good as before, and sometimes he couldn't control his drooling.

There is also frequent tingling in the back of the head.

He carefully studied his condition and came to a conclusion that his diabetes should be caused by his family's genetics. Although he usually pays attention to exercise and diet, it still occurs.In fact, there is no guarantee that you will suffer from the gene. It can only be said that he is unlucky.

But his luck was still good, and he recovered quickly from the stroke. Although it was just a small stroke, it may be a slight cerebral hemorrhage, and the impact is not too big, but it is really very lucky.

But he also knows that diabetes itself increases the risk of stroke, and it is often easy to have a second stroke. If there is another stroke, the situation is not optimistic.

Zhu Yihai even suspected that he had high blood pressure.

This body has been adjusted by him for nine years, but it is still not satisfactory.

Now it looks like a dike that has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is leaking everywhere.

Asthma, diabetes, stroke and even high blood pressure, these haven't killed him yet, but made his body worse than before.

For a Zhongxing emperor in his 30s, this was a great blow, and the emperor was even somewhat depressed. No matter how ambitious he was, he could not resist this fate.

Kundu Lun Utaishi is also a hero, but after a big defeat, the stroke disappeared immediately. Zhu Yihai was the winner, but he was able to recover after the stroke, but left behind the sequelae of drooling from time to time and constant tingling in the head, and even Often thirsty.

Various kinds of massage, acupuncture and moxibustion every day, plus medication, the disease is under control, but Zhu Yihai feels that his body is being swallowed up little by little, and now he can't even arouse interest in women.

He is only in his thirties.

This reminded him of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the hero of a generation, Mingzhu, who suddenly lost his fertility when he was still very young. Although there were countless Nami people behind him, there were no more sons and half daughters.

There is not much time left for him.

"Since Maima Dalai Ubashi knows his mistakes and can correct them, then I can give him a chance. He can gather people and horses in Sailimu Lake and rest for the winter. But after this winter, I want them to move to Issyk Lake Resident pastor, I will give him the titles of Nuoyan and Duke of the county."

Sailimu Lake is to the west of Ala Lake, separated from Ili by Taleqi Mountain. This is also a triangle between two mountains, and it is a very good pasture.

Before that, the east of Ala Lake belonged to Karausu, and the west of the lake belonged to Oqiertu in Ili.

Now Zhu Yihai has directly assigned this triangle in the west of the lake to Wusu Mansion, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Daming.

Lake Issyk Khan is now occupied by Kazakhs. The area around the lake, the Suiye River Valley in the west of the lake, and even the city of Tashkent in the southwest are all occupied by Kazakhs. Kazakh Yang Jier Khan was also begging for mercy when he was beaten by Oirat. He was captured and captured by the Junggar people, and finally had to pay a lot of ransom to be able to go back. The area east of Balakash Lake was basically taken away by Oirat.

Later, Yang Jier Khan joined forces with Bukhara, Khiva, and Yarkand to form an alliance with them, so that he withstood Oirat's attack, and only after Oirat's internal strife did he have a chance to breathe.

This time he opposed the Ming with Chu Huer and others. The most important thing was that the Ming Dynasty had drawn a lot of cakes for them before, but in the end he secretly supported the Uzbek Minger tribe to establish the Dawan Khanate, and even wanted to seize such an important commercial city as Tashkent.

At the same time, Daming secretly supported the Nogai people in Xiaoyuzi to rebuild the Nogai Khanate. This made Yang Jier feel cheated, so he decisively joined forces with Chu Huer, Kundu Lun Utaishi and others to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and sent his eldest son Touk led the elite troops.

When the war broke out, Yang Jier no longer abided by the boundaries drawn by the Ming emperor, and directly controlled the Suiye River Valley in the south of Chuyili Mountain, and went east to Tianshan Mountain, and occupied the surrounding areas of Yizhaike Lake.

Kazakhs are very ambitious and want to take advantage of the chaos to redefine the pattern of the Western Regions. He not only wants Lake Issyk-Kul and the Suiye River Valley, but also wants to control the Syr Darya River Basin, and even has the ambition to annex the Fergana Basin.

This kind of behavior must not be tolerated. Zhu Yihai moved the Heshuote team to Issyk Lake and let them compete with the Kazakhs. The Ming army will go directly to Suiyehe when the time comes.Let Dawan compete with Kazakhs for Tashkent, Nogai will go up from the northern bank of the Caspian Sea along the Ural River, and Khiva will go northward from the Aral Sea of ​​the Amu Darya to attack Kazakhstan's Syr Darya.

Just do it if you don't accept it, the messier the better.

"Where's Chu Huer?"

"Chu Hu'er withdrew to Fort Angilik on the west bank of Tugul Lake. Some of his followers surrendered to Galdan in Bohuoxi, while others requested surrender from our army in Tacheng."

"It was not going well for Duerbert and Shuoqi Khan to attack Burzinburg again. After hearing the news of Kundu Lun Wutaishi's death, he sent his son Sonom Cering to request peace talks with Burzinburg. He also sent envoys to Lanzhou to pay tribute to plead guilty." .”

Zhu Yihai rubbed his head, "I don't even know what to say about this Al Dartesh, it's like weeds over and over again."

"I decree that Aldartes come to accompany me, and Durbert will be handed over to his son Sonom Cering."

"If he doesn't come, there is no need for the Durbert Khanate to continue."
