Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 882 Homecoming

Let the crowd build to divide their potential!

The original Suwang City in Lanzhou is now the emperor's Lanzhou palace, and Zhu Yihai's strategic core for the Western Regions is written in his pen.

During the New Year, the emperor received congratulations from all the envoys, civil and military officials and generals in the palace.

The emperor rewarded his courtiers inside and outside.

Dashbatur, the tenth son of Gushri Khan, was canonized as Khotan County King and Yarkand Khan, and he commanded Yarkand, Khotan cities and the local Heshuote tribe.

Jianlutnuoyan Abalai canonized as the king of Ningyuan County and Ili Khan, and commanded the Ili and Shuote tribes.

Lute Hun Taiji Maima Dalai Ubashi canonized as Athai County King and Suiye Khan, commanding Rehu, Suiye and Shuote tribes.

Chechen Khan Eqiertu was renamed Shule County King and Kashgar Khan, commanding Kashgar, Aksu, Wushi and Shuote tribes.

The former Heshuote Khanate was divided into Qinghai-Tibet and Tianshan Mountains after Gushi Khan entered Qinghai-Tibet, and now it was dismembered step by step by the emperor into Qinghai Khan, Khamba Khan, Qianzang Khan, Houzang Khan, Kashgar Khan, Yarkand Khan, Suiye Khan, and Ili Khan, these eight Khans except Qianzang was ruled by the Jishepa family, and the other seven Khans were all split from Heshuote.

The Oqiertu army was defeated and retreated to the south of the Tianshan Mountains. The Ming army sent troops into Ili and Suiye, and began to build cities and garrison troops on the two fertile valleys and plains, and even began to emigrate.

The imperial court did not let Oqiertu go back to the north of Tianshan Mountain to continue to rule, but let him stay in the south of Tianshan Mountain. Instead, he made a brother and a cousin of his opponent a khan and established a khanate, and one established a khanate in Suiyechuan. One built a khanate in the Ili Valley.

The key to these two being able to get the support of the emperor to establish their own khanate is that they agreed to many conditions of the court, the most important of which is that the Ming Dynasty will establish post stations, trade routes, and castles in the Suiye and Yili River Valleys, and station troops to emigrate. .

The Ming Dynasty will cultivate and trade there, while the two new Khans manage the tribal herdsmen. The imperial court divided the two khanates into two guard houses on the left and right wings, and six capital governors' mansions on each side. , Hunchun Taiji unified the Dudu Mansion, divided the borders and enfeoffed each other, and did not invade each other. The imperial court appointed Khan, Deputy Khan, Du Hu, Du Du, etc. in the Du Hu Mansion, the Left and Right Wings, and the Du Du Mansion, and at the same time dispatched Ming officials to serve as deputy posts.

It was also agreed that each governor's mansion could set up a battalion of standing soldiers, and the guards and kings of the Khan could also set up [-] guards each. However, the court also needed to send deputy generals, staff officers, and instructors, etc., and even agreed that their equipment had to be purchased from the court.

The Ming Dynasty does not interfere with the affairs of the Khanate, the Protectorate, and the Governor's Mansion, and they are allowed to govern themselves, but they are also not allowed to interfere with the castles, towns, and reclamation areas established by the Ming Dynasty.

This agreement is very beneficial to Daming. Before, the entire northern part of the Tianshan Mountains was owned by the Oirats, and Yili and other places belonged to Heshuote. Now, taking advantage of this chaos, Daming will not let him return to the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains according to the lord of Oqiertu. , Another two new Khans were raised. They were not strong enough to bargain too much with the court, but they could weaken the strength of He Shuote.

Without Daming, Maima Dalai Ubash couldn't even control his twelve brothers, let alone worry about the imperial court sending troops to attack them. Now that he can say goodbye, even if Daming wants to build garrisons or even immigrants on his territory, They still need to send officials, but after weighing it, they still accepted the whole proposal.

The most unhappy one is Oqiertu. Not to mention the loss of troops this time, his lair north of the Tianshan Mountains was actually taken away. But after his defeat, his prestige and strength plummeted. Barai and other powerful tribal leaders did not agree with him, and he did not have the strength to dare to turn against Daming.

If you want to blame it, blame him for being too broken last time.

At the same time, the emperor canonized Wen Chuntaiji, the younger brother of Junggar Khan's brother, as Irtysh Khan, who commanded the original left wing of Junggar, while Galdan was named Junggar Khan, who ruled the original right wing.

A Junggar was divided into two Khanates, plus Chu Hu'er who is still rebelling now, it is in fact three Khans standing side by side.

At the same time as the seal of Oirat, Ming also increased the number of troops transferred to the Western Regions, from Hami to Turpan, from Turpan to Urumqi, then to Wusu, Tacheng, Burqin, and then to Yili, Suiye, and then Yanqi, Kuqa, Baicheng, Ruoqiang, Qiemo, Yutian, Khotan, Yarkand, and Ali built castles and garrisoned troops everywhere.

For Zhu Yihai, whether to belong or not is all fiction. Only Daming's real garrison, immigration, and direct rule can be the real territorial control.

For the Hui tribe in the south of the Tianshan Mountains and the eastern border, Zhu Yihai canonized the chiefs of the Oirat tribes to establish the Khanate leadership, and then set up a guard and a governor's office to demarcate and divide the rule, and then to those Yarkand places that surrendered to the original place The powerful and powerful natives were awarded titles such as the ninth-class Burke to allow them local autonomy. They also used the imperial court to build cities and garrison troops, build post roads and immigrate, forming a very complicated situation of multi-party co-governance.

This is also to use the balance between Oirat and Entanglement so that Da Ming can enter.

At this New Year's court meeting, Zhu Yihai publicly reprimanded Kazakh Yangjier Khan for his treachery, refused to accept the tribute envoys sent by Kazakh Khan, drove them out directly, and issued a call for rebellion against the Kazakh Khanate.

From vigorously wooing to openly attacking now, the situation has also changed.

With the fall of Yarkand, the collapse of Junggar, and the split of Heshuote, Ming Dynasty has directly entered the Yili, Suiye and Irtysh River Basins, and directly connected with the Kazakh Khanate, so it naturally changed from the original distance and close attack , has become today's military crusade.

Zhu Yihai has now established two enemies for the Western Regions.

One is the Junggar Chuhuer who is still in rebellion, and the other is the Kazakhs. They will draw together all the forces in the Western Regions and lead them to continue to deal with these two enemies until they are wiped out. This will be the next five to ten years. The basic strategy of the Western Regions.

Of course, on Congling and Kunlun, the conquest of those small snow-covered plateau countries is still going on, and it also involves wrestling with the Mughal Empire, a big country in South Asia. However, due to geographical restrictions, it is difficult for both sides to invest there. There are too many military resources, so the scale of the war is limited, but after Ming controls U-Tsang, Kashgar, and Yarkand, it will not be too difficult to fight on the Pamirs.

What is needed is time and resources, and Daming does not lack these two items now.

The Mughals are fighting among themselves, and the three dragons are vying for the heir. In contrast, the Ming Dynasty is now at its strongest.

Duerbert's Heshuo Qi Khan was a vacillating coward, and finally passed the position of Khan to his eldest son Sonom Cering, and obediently went to Beijing for a pilgrimage, and then stayed to accompany the emperor to practice arrows and ride horses.

Regarding Durbert, Zhu Yihai did not divide him in two. Originally, after Huite was separated, both Duerbert and Huite were not strong enough, and there was no need to divide him again.

But Zhu Yihai didn't take advantage of Duerbert, and directly took Burqin Castle away. At the same time, Fuhai also took away, and Altay was taken away. In the end, Huite's Khobdo was also designated as the direct control of the Daming Garrison.

The pasture land in the north of the two prefectures of Gansu that was originally assigned to Duerbert is now directly under the Ming Dynasty, and some tribes that were captured or surrendered after the defeat of the rebel army were placed under the jurisdiction of Gansu Province. herders.

After the New Year's Court Meeting, it won't be long before a new round of wars will start in the Western Regions, Kazakhs, Junggars, and even the Tsarist Russians in the north, and the Mughals behind the small Pamirs in the south.

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, the emperor planned to return to Beijing.

After three years, it's time to go back.

The emperor's car was driving eastward, but along the way, there were countless troops marching westward. There were defense camps stationed in the Western Regions, there were also newly established patrol and garrison camps in Beiting Province, and there were also towns in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are now integrated into three provinces, Anxi Province, starting from Jiayuguan in the east, Dunhuang, Hami, Turpan, Urumqi, Wusu, and Yanqi are Anxi Provinces.

Kuqa, Baicheng, Aksu, Qiemo, Khotan, Yarkand, Kashgar, and Aksai Chin are Kunlun provinces.

Tacheng, Ili, Suiye, Barqin, Altai, and Issyk Lake are Beiting provinces.

Each of the three provinces has a governor, the admiral of the defense battalion, the admiral of the patrol, the admiral of the town, the admiral of the regiment, etc., and the khans of the Western Regions are also controlled by the governor of the province and the patrol.

After taking Kazakhstan in the future, another Kazakh province or Xihai province can be established.

The road has been planned. Around this strategic goal, it may take five to ten years of military use, and then 50 years of operation for a hundred years.

The emperor personally constructed the future pattern of the Western Regions and ended his tour of the West.

The convoy moved slowly, and Zhu Yi inspected places while walking along the seashore to see the current changes, and sometimes even visited the countryside privately in a micro-service, went to people's homes to chat and chat, or went shopping in market towns.

Although many places in the northwest are indeed far from the mainland, especially the southeast. From towns to villages, there is dirt everywhere, and most of the people wear patched clothes, but at least they can feel stable.

Everyone is busy. Just after the Waking of Insects, the villages and fields are starting to prepare for farming, spreading fertilizer, and preparing the land. There is also a constant flow of goods on the roads, and the market town is very lively.

There are very few beggars, and there are no groups of hungry people when they are out of stock.

Everyone is in a hurry and busy.

He also discovered a common phenomenon that there are many people in cities and towns, but the population in rural areas seems a little small.A large number of young and middle-aged people have moved to the city to work in workshops to earn money.

Only when the farming is busy, I will go home to help. Although the wages of workshop workers are not very high, the fixed income is actually much better than farming. Farming depends on the weather, but part-time jobs are paid on a monthly basis. or piece rate income.

The common people can also settle accounts. Although there is a lot of work in the fields, but after careful calculation, allowing young people to work in cities during the slack season can increase a lot of income.

Another change is that there are more farms in the countryside, such as those who raise chickens, ducks and geese, those who raise pigs and sheep, even those who raise cattle and horses, and those who grow fruits and forests. Anyone who can increase their income, everyone is also in it. The government encourages them to do so.

Many people have been asked, life is much better now than before.But to be more specific, in fact, most ordinary people are much better off, but now they can basically solve their food and clothing, two cooked meals a day, some meat during the New Year and holidays, and occasionally a few eggs laid by the chickens at home. meal.

Being able to make a new set of clothes in one or two years without going out to flee famine, in the eyes of the common people, life is easier.The main reason is that most of the common people have been allocated their own land, or subscribed for a piece of land in installments with no interest or low interest. Nowadays, the taxation of land by the imperial court is relatively real, not high, and the government still pays for it. It's honest, and now I don't dare to increase the faction randomly.

Most of the harvest in our land can be owned by ourselves. During the slack season, the surplus labor force of the family can also work in the workshop, or go to the mountains to mine, cut trees, or build roads, rivers, etc., without disturbing the people and harming the people. The endless labor, everyone's labor can be exchanged for remuneration, which is still very much needed cash, which has also boosted the rural economy.

Those villagers who were too poor in the past were also mobilized by the court to emigrate to the frontier and obtained their own fields.

Many people are sincerely grateful to the emperor, and are very satisfied with the current government. To sum up, taxes are low, officials oppress and apportion less, and most of the people have their own land. I have a little bit of my own land, and then I can farm some, and then work, and the income after a year is not bad, at least there is no problem with food and clothing.

There are even a lot of people who take advantage of the good policies, are flexible and dare to work hard, and have become rich. Some are engaged in breeding, some are in small businesses, and some are learning good crafts. Soldiers eat public food.

The economy has improved, and even the local law and order has improved a lot. In the early years, there were bandits everywhere, and there were kings of the mountain everywhere. Now it is rare to hear that there are kings of the mountain everywhere. a lot.

When it comes to Emperor Shaotian, everyone hopes that the emperor can live a long life, so that he doesn't have to worry about policy changes, and local officials don't need to worry about corruption. come better.

Zhu Yihai sometimes mentioned that the current emperor is warlike. Since the beginning of the war, the Shaotian Dynasty has never stopped wars. Countless good men died in battle, and many widows and orphans were created, but no one agrees with this statement. There are those who have a quick temper and even want to hammer him.

They can't tolerate people saying that the emperor is not good, even if there is a war, they think it is right.

Without those wars, there would be no peace today, no continuous foreign wars, and no expansion of territory. Many poor people got a piece of their own land in the frontier and were able to settle down.

Even the victory of foreign wars has brought many dividends.

It is also a war. In the war of the Chongzhen Dynasty of Tianqi, the court continued to levy additional military expenses from the people, and the local government took the opportunity to increase the levy.

On the contrary, many children of poor people signed up to join the army, but were able to stand up through fighting and meritorious service, crossed classes, and entered the official class, even the noble class.

"You seem to be a person of status, but why did you say such stupid things? How can you doubt a saint casually? Go away quickly. If you say one more word, we will beat you to death and tie you up and send you to the officials. punishment."

The captain of the Baojia militia in the village raised his fist as big as a sand bowl at Zhu Yihai and shouted angrily. If Zhu Yihai hadn't had several burly and strong followers around him, he might really want to beat this guy who dared to disrespect the saint's policy.

　Happy National Day everyone. It is rare to celebrate birthday with the motherland this year. I am very happy. The update did not keep up. Sorry.
