Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 644 Lay out Sichuan and wait for the wind to come

"Alas! The world is so big, when will it be unified?" In the Xinan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Suletan, the Great Khan of Lotus and Emperor Qianyuan, said to himself while looking at the huge map of the world hanging in the pavilion. language. This map, which he ordered the Ministry of War to draw after ten years, covers not only China, but also many countries from Japan in the east, the Arctic Ocean in the north, Europe in the west, and Malin (Malindi, Kenya) in the south, spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa. If he were not afraid of revealing his identity as a traveler, he would even want to include America, Oceania, and Antarctica.

The map caused a sensation as soon as it was painted. The territory covered by this map was larger than the territory of the Mongol Empire at its peak. Ministers all said that His Majesty the Emperor's ambition exceeded that of Genghis Khan. Unknowingly, it has been thirty-nine years since I traveled to this life, and the Kingdom of David has grown into a giant, but it is still only a small part of this picture. The years are getting old, and someone is worried about the day he dies. The world cannot be unified, so I lamented.

"The Great Khan has great virtue and great fortune, and sooner or later the world will be yours." Nasutu, a scholar and minister of the Ministry of War, flattered him appropriately.

"Yes, we have heroes in Mongolia every hundred years. The last one was Anda Khan, and now it is you, the great Lotus Khan." Harshiha, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was not to be outdone.

These two are both senior ministers of the Kingdom of David, but they are servile and shameless when flattering them. One is because of the imperial culture, and the other is because as the founder of the Kingdom of David, the Lotus Khan is in their hearts. Have a high status.

"Okay, let's forget about the compliments. Have you prepared the list I want you to draw up?" Sultan grinned. He asked these two people to come to Qianqing Palace not to look at the map, but to present to him the list of meritorious service personnel of the Eastern Expedition and the list of officials stationed in Sichuan.

"Great Khan, this is the list of meritorious officials and soldiers compiled by the Ministry of War based on the merit notes reported by the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Please take a look at it." Nasutu presented a pamphlet.

Suletan opened it and took a look at it. It read: Zhongmeinai, the governor of Kangrong, has made great contributions in spending expenses and ensuring logistics. The ministry has agreed that Yin's son will be a member of the forbidden army. He will be rewarded with 3,000 acres of fertile land and some gold, silver and jewelry; Kangrong's political envoy Asumu was promoted to the governor of Sichuan; Zhuowogarbu, the inspector-general of Kangrong, was promoted to the chief envoy of Kangrong; Lalm, the commander-in-chief of Kangrong, was promoted from the third-class Gongtangbo to the second-class Gongtangbo and became deputy admiral; the commander-in-chief of Uzang Batu Mengkejia was awarded the title of deputy admiral; Uszang joined the army in Salaltu and was promoted to Kangrong inspector; Kangrong joined the army in Jiancun Jiangqu and was promoted to the Sichuan general army. The most conspicuous one is Gyantse Dibapalli Gesangyou third class Palibo was promoted to the second-class Palibo and was awarded the title of General Soldier of Gyantse. There is justice in the world, and efforts will always be rewarded. This person who was simply in the heart of the emperor was finally promoted to a noble title.

Seeing that his favorite person had been promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief, Sultan secretly praised Lalm for his ability to handle affairs. He smiled faintly and said to Nasutu: "The merits of the Ministry of War must be fair, and the officers and soldiers must not be disrespected." Heart".

"Don't worry, Khan. The slaves and others have carefully checked the results based on the merit records reported from the front," Nasutu said hurriedly.

"Well, I always feel at ease when you do things. Just do it like this." Suletan smiled and marked the word "yes" on it, and then carefully looked at the list submitted by the Minister of Personnel, Harshiha.

What Hashiha presented was a list of Sichuan officials drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel. In addition to their names, the official qualifications were also marked, because the Guards currently only had three places in Sichuan Tianquan 6th Division, Lizhou, and Yazhou, and the list of officials was not long. The list reads: Asumu, the governor of Sichuan, Jiangqu, the general of the army, Fu Yuanxiu, the chief envoy, Mamut, the inspector of punishment, Pan Lin, who joined the army, and the governor of Yazhou.

After reading this list, Sultan secretly praised Hashiha as a veteran and important minister, mature and prudent! This list includes both Mongolian, Tibetan and Han officials, weighing all aspects of the relationship. Asumu has political talent, and was known for his good governance and financial management when he was in the Yarkand Khanate. Sichuan will be his base for advancing into the southwest in the future, and he must find a governor who understands economics and construction; Jiancun Jiangqu served as a Kangrong and joined the army. , had a good relationship with the chieftains in western Sichuan, and he could control the situation with him as the commander-in-chief; Fu Yuanxiu was highly respected in western Sichuan, and Gao Jitai, Yang Guangzhu and others tried for a long time to persuade him to submit. With him as the chief envoy, he could control the people in western Sichuan and even Sichuan. Popular support: Mamut is the son of Bobei, the Minister of Rites, who accompanied his father as an envoy to Khalkha and made great achievements. He was appointed as the envoy to punish and punish, not only to reward his merits, but also to incorporate Mongolian influence among the Han and Tibetan officials in Sichuan; Pan Lin was a demoted general, and his promotion could encourage more people to surrender to David. "Okay! You have carefully prepared this list!" Sultan looked at Harshiha with admiration.

"This is a matter that belongs to slaves," Harshiha did not dare to take credit.

Suletan became more and more satisfied with him. As a senator, it was really not easy to be cautious all the time!

The new official rose three times. Asumu was busy with both the army and the people as soon as he took office, with various government orders. Fu Yuanxiu was busy recruiting refugees, reclaiming wasteland, building new water conservancy projects, clarifying population and taxation, etc.; Mamut was busy Promoting the "Law of David"; Jiancun Jiangqu was busy leading the sergeants to build fortifications and implement military settlements; Pan Lin was busy training militia to provide recruits for the army. Sultan reformed the Ming Dynasty's garrison system and changed the provincial command and envoy offices into military offices, which were responsible for organizing military training for young adults in their spare time and recruiting new soldiers for the army. Recruitment of new soldiers is not allowed privately, and new soldiers are recruited by the Army Cantonment Office and sent to the military camp. This weakens the situation where soldiers serve as generals, and effectively prevents generals at all levels from relying on their own troops.

Asumu was indeed talented in politics. Shangshu asked the emperor to immigrate to the emperor, restore the Yazhou treaty port, and allocate 300,000 taels of silver to run Sichuan.

Sichuan's affairs mainly depend on people. Without the population, nothing can be done. As soon as Sultan saw it, he said that Asumu had hit the mark, and immediately moved 10,000 criminal prisoners from all over the country to Sichuan for farming. He also called on the whole country to grant hundreds of acres of land to anyone who was willing to immigrate to Sichuan.

Linguan in Yazhou was originally a treaty port, but it was only abandoned because of the war. Now that it belongs to David, its restoration is a matter of course. As a traveler, Suletan naturally knew the benefits of developing trade, so he approved it with a stroke of his pen.

As for the 300,000 taels of silver allocated to run Sichuan, the Kingdom of David, which had been recuperating for more than two years, was in good weather and its treasury was full. Sultan, who had money in his hands, approved another five hundred thousand taels with a stroke of his pen, and ordered Asumu and Fu Yuanxiu to encourage mulberry farming, build water conservancy granaries, open up more wasteland, and promote trade.

The emperor also allocated 300,000 taels and a large number of farm tools and cattle to Jiancun Jiangqu and Pan Lin, and ordered them to organize their sergeants and militiamen to take turns to work in the fields, repair war preparations, and build more barracks to prepare for the future of the sword to the southwest.

He also repeatedly ordered officials, "We must buy more food! Grain production is the top priority in restoring Sichuan."
