"Ha, your fourth brother is impatient. He has already been thinking about the Golden Horde as soon as he arrived in the Western Regions. He is indeed a man full of ambition."
Ambassador Yang, who received the tip a month later, said.
"It wasn't you who pushed him. He was driven to the Western Region by you, and you still refused to let him go. You even arranged for a mole under him."
The little princess lay in his arms and said.
At this time, the two of them were leisurely enjoying the flowers in the winter greenhouse. The ruling princess still paid great attention to enjoyment, so there was not only a huge glass greenhouse on Mount Wutai, but also a zoo and even an artificial lake dug under the mountain.
There are Baiji dolphins and the like, but this is not uncommon at present. Fishermen on the Yangtze River often encounter it, but it is difficult to catch. After all, the size is there, not only Baiji dolphins, but also white sturgeons and finless porpoises.
All in all, it's a mess.
In fact, the ministers who have their own agendas have always suspected that the two of them were just looking for fun because they were not making progress.
As for this greenhouse, most of them are American crops brought back by Zheng He.
So off-season tomatoes and the like can already be eaten, but the taste is hugely different from modern ones, and the appearance is also hugely different.
But it is still good as an ornamental plant.
Most of these crops need to go through a complex and long artificial cultivation process. As for the unnecessary ones, they have already begun to be planted. This year's first batch of sweet potatoes has been harvested in the experimental fields. In addition to a small amount being used as a reward, or to let some people have a taste.
, and the rest were sent to various mountainous health stations and given to military households to plant, especially in Huining. It is estimated that the Japanese slaves in Huining will be able to eat sweet potatoes in a few years.
Including potatoes are there too.
Although the Japanese cannot dig potatoes in Siberia for the time being, they can still do so in Huining.
Corn cannot be promoted directly. Fortunately, Yang Feng has the breeding information that Sister Liu constantly provides, so he can just breed it in a nearby experimental field first.
Everything just takes time.
At this moment, Ambassador Yang, who was holding the government in his arms, smiled slightly.
Of course he has a mole in Zhu Di...
In fact, he is not considered a mole. The latter is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally he also has palace officials appointed by the Ming Emperor.
Six students who graduated from Mount Wutai followed him westward as officials of the royal family.
And his vassal city was in Yining, and he named himself Beiping...
This will give him a bit of a home feel.
In fact, there were not only officials affiliated with the royal family, but also local officials sent by the imperial court.
Of course, the vassal city of the vassal king is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Since it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there must be local officials. However, it is quite special, sandwiched between the four capitals of the Western Regions, so Ili Prefecture is set up separately, and then Yili Prefecture is subordinate to Beiping Prefecture. As for the prefectural city
For the time being, there is no prefect, and there is no prefect. However, there is already a prefect, so the prefect of Beiping Prefecture acts as the prefect.
Then he would build a city wherever he liked.
In this way, he can be promoted to prefect.
Of course, this will take several years, because the Yili Prefecture manages the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the non-escorted immigrants from the mainland in the past.
The title of nobility does not come to the people.
King Yan did get the entire Ili Valley, which actually included the Tekes River Basin, all the way to Lake Issyk-Kul, and then the Jinghe River area on the west bank of Lake Aibi to the north.
But this is his fief, and the subjects on the fief are the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
He has no right to control it.
All he has authority over is his own five guard military households.
As for the Yili Prefecture, it does not belong to the Sidusi, but to the distant Shaanxi Chief Envoys Division, which is equivalent to adding an enclave to Shaanxi. After all, Guanzhong has been developing into the Western Regions since ancient times.
By the way, Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty was big enough.
Theoretically, Gansu also belongs to Shaanxi, and now the entire Western Region belongs to Shaanxi, just like the entire Liaodong, Huining and even Fusang belong to Shandong, while Annan belongs to Guangxi, Sanxuan and Liuwei belong to Yunnan, Duogan, and Uszangdusi belong to
Sichuan, Hanhai, and Yanran belong to Shanxi. All the nationalities in these places, except for some of the civil registrations of the guards, are under the jurisdiction of these chief envoys. These commanding envoys are indeed under the military status, but
It’s not that people’s nationality is not allowed to pass. And nationality is not under the control of the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, but under the control of the Proclamation Envoy. Before there was a separate Proclamation and Proclamation Envoy for these places, they just returned to those places far away behind.
Commitment to the Provincial Envoy to take charge.
This will also make it easier for these provinces to expand overseas.
Just like now, Shandong people like to go to places like Liaodong and Fusang.
This system is very good, and Yang Feng is not prepared to change it. This will not only facilitate these provinces that are currently obviously poorer to obtain external benefits, but also facilitate other provinces to immigrate to these provinces.
The household registration management in the Ming Dynasty was very strict. If a merchant from Zhili wanted to do business in Fusang, he had to immigrate to Shandong first, because after arriving in Fusang, Shandong would collect taxes from him.
The nationality of that place is under the jurisdiction of Shandong.
The same taxes collected also went to the Shandong Chengxuan Administrative Envoy Department.
It doesn't matter whether you are registered in Shandong or Leqian Shandong, but your household registration during the period of doing business in Fusang must be in Shandong.
Therefore, the usual situation is that Zhili merchants do business in Fusang, pay taxes to Shandong, and then take the money they earn back to their hometown. In the process, Shandong acts as a middleman and obtains taxes.
It is equivalent to a financial transfer.
It's just that it didn't come from the imperial court.
As for these, the local commanders also make profits because they control the supply of goods.
As for the reason why Zhu Di was so eager to march to the Golden Horde, the reason was very simple. He brought so many people with him. These people followed him not because they were loyal to him to death, but because they believed that following him to the Western Regions, they would immediately have flocks of livestock and slaves.
Groups of beauties...
Otherwise, who would abandon their established home and follow him to such a foreign land?
Zhu Di could immediately be satisfied with the herds of livestock. He summoned the nomadic chiefs, and actually traded with them. He used the grain he brought to the Western Regions and various commodities to exchange cattle and sheep from the latter, plus his
What he originally had was enough to keep the guards following him in herds.
And these nomadic tribes are also grateful to him.
After all, they also need food.
In the cold winter, food was more important to them than livestock, and the sugar, tea, medicinal materials, etc. brought by Zhu Di made them even more crazy.
but……
Where are the slaves?
Where is the woman?
Where are the gold and silver jewelry?
In the Golden Horde.
This is also Zhu Di's only choice at the moment.
Because he cannot go to war with Timur for the time being. In fact, he is now on a friendly relationship with Timur. He may even marry Timur's granddaughter as his concubine. It is definitely impossible for the princess to be a concubine, and the concubine will not be able to do so, but
King Yan's palace can still accommodate a few more.
Although Timur was extremely angry with him for going to the Western Regions, he had nothing to do. Timur was indeed powerful enough to destroy Zhu Di.
At least he believes that.
But the problem is that that would expose him to Ming's wrath.
Behind Zhu Di is a huge empire that is so powerful that it suffocates him.
He had seen it last time.
The last time was still only a small part of the Ming Dynasty. After all, his envoys paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty frequently during this period. Even during the Battle of Kaifeng, his envoys were still stranded in Kaifeng and saw the real war of the Ming Dynasty. Those giant
The powerful power of siege artillery, the impact of those musketeers and cavalry, and the large-scale battles that were almost entirely firearms were enough for Timur to understand how big his gap was.
The most terrifying thing is that the army that suffocated him in this way had hundreds of thousands participating in the war in Kaifeng alone.
There were two such battlefields in the Ming Dynasty at that time, and there was also a legion of the same size that was said to have not participated in Annan.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was still conquering Luchuan in Yunnan at that time.
This means a truly million-level army!
How terrible!
So now Timur really doesn't dare to offend Ming. He can only watch Zhu Di return to the Western Regions. Likewise, Zhu Di has no ability to attack him now. In this case, both parties must be friendly, and Timur also needs to start from
Zhu Di imported a large number of firearms, and then prepared for the decisive battle with Bayezid. Originally, he won the decisive battle two years later.
But now he can't guarantee it. After all, Bayezid is also invincible in the Balkans. In this case, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides, it is cost-effective to bring out a granddaughter to deepen the relationship between him and Zhu Di.
The only expansion direction left for Zhu Di was the Golden Horde.
However, this kind of thing must have a claim, and supporting Yue and helping others regain their throne of the Golden Horde is the best claim.
The era of Yue Jibie Khan can also be regarded as the golden age of the Golden Horde.
Although the price is Turkification.
After the death of Yue Jibie Khan, the Golden Horde replaced twenty great khans in twenty-four years, turning a powerful empire into the ghost it is now. Anyone can step on it, even Timur.
After conquering the capital, Tokhtamysh, the self-proclaimed Golden Horde Khan, actually ran to Lithuania for protection. What a shame, and after the death of Yuejibie Khan, he was gradually squeezed out of the Eastern European plains, and wandered to the east, or Yuejie others, or
Speaking of Uzbeks, of course they dream of returning to their heyday.
The moon is gone and it’s Uzbekistan.
These are the Golden Horde people who fled to the east to escape during the internal melee of the Golden Horde.
As for the origin of the ethnic group, it is all messed up. There is no need to worry about the origin. Mongolian and Turkic people are all mixed up.
Historically, this group was led by Abu Khair of the Shaban family to establish the Uzbek Khanate, with its capital in Tyumen, nomadic in Siberia and northern modern Kazakhstan, and later moved south to the river, and even controlled the Fergana Basin, but was eventually defeated.
, and some of them established the Kazakh Khanate due to internal conflicts. After that, the Kazakh Khanate became stronger, and then came the Two Hundred Years War with Oirat or Oara.
Now Zhu Di could just use them to lead them back to the Kipchak grassland, regain the throne of the Golden Horde, and restore the strength of the Golden Horde.
They will be happy.
They lived a very miserable life in a ghost place like Siberia, otherwise there would not be a small tribe that would go to Guilichi regardless of the differences in systems and beliefs between the two sides.
The latter is a Buddhist.
To put it bluntly, life in Siberia was too hard. In the past, they might have gone south, but now they were isolated in the north by the Ming Dynasty. They went south to the Chu River and Talos. In the past, they did move to this area very quickly.
Nomadic. But now it is the territory of the Kunling Capital Command of the Ming Dynasty. There are not only Oara nomads, but also Talas City where the Ming Dynasty garrisoned. However, in fact, the various Oara tribes are recruited in rotation, and five thousand cavalry go to Nomad every year.
But even so, it still prevented Yue Ji and others from going south.
They can only nomadically live in Siberia and along the Irtysh River, enduring freezing temperatures of forty to fifty degrees below zero in winter.
In this case, they certainly missed the Eastern European plains, the sunshine along the Black Sea, and the rich pastures on the Volga River.
It's just that they don't have the ability.
Now there is a melee like a worm. Timur, Tokhtamysh, Lithuanians, Rus, and a bunch of warlords from the Golden Horde system are fighting in a pot of porridge on the Eastern European grasslands. It is because they are unable to survive in this chaotic grassland.
To contend with these forces, they had to escape to the East. Now that the powerful Ming Dynasty is willing to help them fight back and return to the prosperous age they miss, of course they are willing. Then it will just be a tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Little things.
Not worth mentioning.
Anyway, the Golden Horde also paid tribute to the Yuan Dynasty in the past, but Yue Jibie Khan's uncle Totu Khan was still the King of Suning in the Yuan Dynasty!
And even if you can't take back the throne of the Golden Horde Khan, you can still loot it.
Okay, this is the most important thing.
On the grassland, people are robbing each other.
As long as Zhu Di can solve the cooperation of this group, then the only thing left is to unite to conquer the west and follow the route of Batu to fight towards the Kipchak grassland. Timur can intervene, the Lithuanians can intervene, why can't Ming Dynasty in the Golden Horde
In the process of the Western Expedition, the guards who followed Zhu Di would get what they wanted. They would bring back countless Eastern European and Caucasian women, they would bring back a large number of white slaves, and they would also
Looted countless livestock and wealth.
Eastern Europe still uses gold coins for transactions.
They are just like the army led by Yang Feng last time, which swept through Eastern Europe like a natural disaster.
Of course, one time is definitely not enough. After all, the distance is quite far. Even a full cavalry march would take half a year. However, we can first integrate the Yueji and others in this area and launch an expedition against those tribes that are unwilling to follow.
Especially in Siberia, a large number of nomadic tribes were scattered, and theoretically this area already belonged to the Kunling Commandery Division. Then King Yan personally led an army to attack the Golden Horde tribes in the Kunling Commandery Division who refused to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
, announced to them the Ming Emperor's intention to help Yue Ji and others to fight back to Eastern Europe and regain the throne of the Golden Horde.
Surrendered follow.
Those who refused to surrender had their families exterminated and their women and livestock divided among themselves.
Perfect.
It is estimated that one year is enough for Zhu Di to complete the integration of the entire area.
He also advanced to the Caspian Sea, and all that was left was to continue westward. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about the safety of the rear.
Behind him are the four commanders of the Ming Dynasty!
