Bordering Da Zhou is the territory of Abdul Lain, the governor of Turpan of the Yarkand Khanate. The Yarkand Khanate headquarters has no control over this area. Now that Da Zhou has given up on Hami, it has also been taken over by Abdul Lain.
Because of the control, the two sides did not cause too fierce conflicts over gains and losses in Hami.
Feng Ziying still knew something about the situation in the west. After all, she first shined in military affairs during the suppression of the rebellion in Ningxia. After the suppression of the rebellion in Ningxia, it involved the handling of Liu Dongyang and others, and the intention of Emperor Yonglong to regain control of the country.
In order to consolidate the emperor's throne, he lost the territory before Ming Dynasty, so he first recovered the sandbank and then captured Hami.
However, the long supply lines made it difficult for the imperial court to control Hami and Shazhou, so that later on, the food and wages of the three sides and four towns became increasingly unsustainable. Gansu Town was the farthest and naturally bore the brunt.
Now that the imperial court is about to abolish Guyuan and merge the two towns of Gansu and Ningxia, the military affairs in the west are obviously the last consideration. Is there any other major matter worthy of Xiu Mu's impromptu discussion?
After changing his clothes, Feng Ziying had no choice but to give up Xiu Mu and go to the Ministry of War's public house. Along the way, he was thinking about the situation to the west.
To be honest, Gansu Town extends like a long spoon into the vast territory of the Western Regions. Its strategic location is very important, but its geographical location is not good.
To the north are the Tumut people, to the south are the Tumut people who nomadically migrated to the West Sea, and to the west is the Turpan governor-controlled area of the Yarkand people, which is Abdul Lain's territory. Now Hami has been regained control by Abdul Lain.
, if there are no accidents, with the merger and contraction of the two towns in Ningxia, Gansu, Shazhou will also be abandoned.
As a traveler, Feng Ziying knew very well that the Russians were striding across the Ural Mountains and swooping eastward. Before the first year of Yonglong, the Russians had conquered the Siberian Khanate.
Feng Ziying received the news from Xingrensi that at the latest in the 35th year of Yuanxi, the Russians had crossed the Ob River and established a stronghold on the banks of the Duji River, its upstream tributary. At the latest in the 5th year of Yonglong, the Russians
An invasion stronghold has been established on the banks of the Tomsk River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Ob River. If you guessed correctly, it should be the famous Tomsk.
The Russians are now devouring and digesting the land of the Siberian Khanate with an extremely greedy appetite, but they have not yet reached the Yenisei River Basin. However, if history does not change, they will extend their clutches to Yenisei within a few years.
The Nisei River and Yeniseisk will also be built.
Tsarist Russia has not yet spared the power to interfere in Central Asia, but with the conquest of Siberia, Tsarist Russia will sooner or later extend its clutches to Central Asia. What Feng Ziying has to consider is how to defend the vast Siberian land of the Han people in the north during her lifetime.
At the same time, it is necessary to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties and advance civilization into the western region.
It's just that the current national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty limits the pace of moving outward, and it has to solve internal problems first before it can talk about expanding outward. However, this does not mean that it has to completely ignore and disregard the surrounding trends.
It’s just that there are too many external areas that Da Zhou needs to pay attention to. In the northeast, due north, northwest, and west, there is Uzang who is still in the state of Jimo, and in the southwest, there are Dongwu and Anabi who are still ready to move.
The power of Long was strong, but the Portuguese Philip still occupied Salian and tried to separate the kingdom. The Arakan dynasty was still in its ascendant stage.
Although the former Ming Dynasty established several Xuanwei Divisions in this area, they failed to establish a stable rule, so they were quickly lost in the long river of history.
Although the great initiative of Zheng He's voyages to the West has left footprints in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Arabia and even East Africa and is famous in history, in a practical sense, it did not bring much benefit to the Han Dynasty, which is also a great regret.
Feng Ziying has the impression that the Central Plains Dynasty and Dongwu and Annan in the southwest have always been in constant disputes. From the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, there was no peace in the previous history. So if there is a chance, he will certainly not hesitate to go to the Liting to clean the holes.
Straight to the Andaman Sea to drink horses.
In the midst of her thoughts, Feng Ziying arrived at the Ministry of War mansion, only to see Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong there.
"Brother Zhisheng, when did you come back?" Sun Chengzong went to Denglai before, and also took a boat from Denglai to Liaonan, that is, to inspect the situation of Denglai Town and the future Dongjiang Town. This trip lasted nearly a month.
,
It can be described as hard work.
"I just came back last night and didn't catch up with the grand party." Sun Chengzong smiled. He had lost a lot of weight. It was obvious that the wind and rain had taken a toll on him.
"What a grand event, it's just a step-by-step event. Just sit there and listen to the results." Feng Ziying curled her lips, "If that's not the case, it's more valuable to talk about the situation of your trip."
"Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the news from Gansu." Zhang Huaichang shook his head, "The Yarkand Khanate Ahema Khan sent an envoy to our Zhou Dynasty. Now the envoy has arrived in Ganzhou and is on his way to the capital.
,·······》
"Ah Heima Khan?" Feng Ziying frowned, "Why, Ah Heima Khan can't help it anymore and wants to attack his uncle?"
"Well, that's probably what it means. Abdul Lain has always refused to accept the status of his nephew Ahei Mahan. Ahei Mahan also feels that if the problem of Abdul Lain is not solved, it will be difficult to convince the public and status.
It will be unstable, but its forces have to fight against Adu Siyin, and I am afraid it is not strong enough. That is why they want to send envoys to our side, hoping that we can attack from both sides and solve the problem of Adu Siyin. For this reason, they
We are willing to admit that Edom, including Hami, belongs to our Zhou Dynasty, and we are also willing to maintain the smoothness and safety of our caravans going to the river." Sun Chengzong introduced.
"This has posed a difficult problem for us. Gansu Town is about to merge with Ningxia Town, and we are even ready to give up on Shazhou for the time being. What's the point of giving Hami to us now?" Feng Ziying shook her head.
, with a face full of regret and unwillingness, "You just give us the entire Turpan Governor-General Region. We can't accept it, but it's unreasonable for us to just refuse. If we can't do it now, it doesn't mean we won't do it in the future." "Zi"
Ying, do you really think we can regain our homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the future, so what's the point of getting it there? I don't think the caravans have brought much benefit to us. The commercial tax is better than nothing, and the Ministry of Commerce doesn't even care.
"Enter." Zhang Huaichang looked unconcerned, "I'm worried that once Aheimahan really eliminates Adu Ciyin in the future, the troops may point directly at Jiayuguan, and will they be angry with us and attract two parties?
National War End?"
"There are many internal problems in the Yarkand Khanate. Aheima Khan's ability is limited and he may not be able to control the situation. On the contrary, Abdul Siyin successively held the post of Selekul and quickly took control of the situation after going to Turpan.
He has skills and is not simple. If we compare the two parties, I am more optimistic about Adu Ciyin."
Feng Ziying's views attracted both Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong's attention. Because the Feng family had deep connections in the northwest, Feng Tang had a close relationship with the Tumut people, and both the north and south sides of Gansu Town were Tumut people.
Zhang Huaichang looked solemn: "In that case, why not just refuse?"
"That's not necessary. Keep this lead. Maybe it will be useful in the future. It's not good for us because Adu Ciyin is too strong. I really hope that Aheimahan and Adu Ciyin can be in a stalemate and both sides will suffer.
, if we can free our hands by then to intervene in the Western Regions, cross the Great and Small Hulu, and get the land in the river, we can be considered as regaining the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Feng Ziying's idea was not recognized by Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong, both of whom shook their heads.
In their opinion, Zhou Dynasty may not have any spare power to use troops in the northwest within ten or twenty years. It would be extremely valuable to be able to solve the threats of the Jurchens in the northeast and the Chahar people in the north. Moreover, the geographical environment and climate of the northwest
The road and traffic conditions are too poor, and it would cost too much to use troops there, and the gain outweighs the loss.
What's more, the Land in the River is to the west of the Fergana Basin, and even the Tang Dynasty has not been able to truly establish a stable rule in the Land in the River. Even now Feng Ziying knows that it is extremely difficult to control the Land in the River, unless
It is possible to continue to use a combination of conquest and immigration to expand the Han people's power westward, regardless of the cost, but this is too difficult. As long as there is a slight setback in the implementation process, or the attitude of those in power changes, the success will be in vain.
But think about how Tsarist Russia could use a small number of men and horses to continuously expand eastward and swallow up all of Siberia, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Then why can't I, as a traveler, try it?
At least the environment in Central Asia is much better than that in Siberia. Whether it can be done depends more on the strength of the central government.
"Since you two adults feel that it is not feasible for the time being, let's
Put it aside." Feng Ziying also knew that it was impossible to convince the two of them now, so she gave up on her own initiative: "As for Aheimahan's envoy, we entertained him with good food and drinks, and also explained our situation to him clearly. Now we are really
I don’t have the power, please understand, but we must have a good personal relationship. When he goes back in the future, we can keep in touch. We can get information about the customs, geography, and even the wealthy and noble families and clans of Turpan and Yarkand first.
Collecting them will always be useful."
"Well, this can only be the case. Ziying, you are here today. It just so happens that the three of us can discuss some issues first, such as the three towns in Jiangnan." Zhang Huaichang then identified the main topic today, and
The Yarkand people are just a pretext.
"So urgent?" Feng Ziying was also surprised and a little unbelievable, "We haven't reached an agreement yet, and we are about to take action? This can't be hidden from Prince Yi Zhong and Tang Mi, right? Or they also agree.
Already?"
