Chapter 822 , the Great Migration and the Chief Minister of the Western Regions
News of the Chagatai Khanate's defeat quickly spread throughout the Western Regions. The Ming army marched westward from Hami and Turpan, sweeping through countless tribes of all sizes throughout the Western Regions. In the end, they annihilated the Mahemu Khan organization in one battle.
A million-strong army rose up (they were called a million-strong army).
Even Mahemu Khan himself was eventually captured by the Ming army, and accompanied by Mansuer Khan, was forced to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. As for Manzala, Haidar and other leaders of various large and small tribes in the Western Regions, they were almost also
Killed cleanly.
In addition, in the Hotan and Aksu areas, the 30,000 Ming army led by the Ming general Han Yi was also invincible. They attacked the city all the way and were invincible. They quickly swept away the entire Hotan and Aksu areas.
Khan, the entire Western Region fell under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
As the news spread, countless tribes of all sizes in the entire Western Region were shocked, and at the same time they became extremely frightened.
Things have changed.
The era of Mongolian rule is over, and the Ming Dynasty has begun to rule the Western Regions. No one knows what kind of rule the Ming Dynasty will implement in the Western Regions.
To be honest, everyone still prefers the Mongols to rule the Western Regions.
The Mongolian population is very small, and the Mongolians themselves have little cultural heritage. Therefore, in the Western Regions, the Mongols quickly became Turkic and Sudanese, and quickly integrated into the major tribes in the Western Regions.
The governance and management of the Western Regions is also very extensive. Each major tribe is allowed to have its own powerful force and army, and everyone's life is pretty good.
Even as time passed, the power of the Mongols weakened, and the power of the Kazakhs, Turks, Uighurs, and Hui people became stronger, resulting in various tribes in the Western Regions becoming independent and in chaos.
But the people of Ming Dynasty were different.
The Ming Dynasty and the Mongols are completely different.
The people of Ming Dynasty have a large population and their own cultural heritage is strong enough. They do not need to learn from anyone, let alone integrate with anyone. On the contrary, everyone has to integrate into Ming Dynasty.
What's more important is that the Ming Dynasty's rule and management level are definitely not comparable to those of the Mongols. The Ming Dynasty has a history of thousands of years. During the long history, they have experienced dynasty changes again and again, and they know very well how to effectively manage a huge country.
territory and population.
The Ming Dynasty ruled the Western Regions, which was definitely not a good thing for the tribes of all sizes in the Western Regions. Countless tribes began to feel anxious and anxious.
Tianshan West Road, the grassland occupied by the Kazakhs, with the news of the defeat, the five major Kazakh tribes suffered unprecedented heavy losses, including the Kle tribe, the Alban tribe, the Dulat tribe, the Naiman tribe, etc.
Almost all the strong men of the Hux tribe went to participate in the battle.
In this battle, all those who went out did not come back and were killed by the Ming army. The sky for the Kazakhs in the Western Regions collapsed.
One tribe after another, in the cold wind, the people of these tribes began to move, put away their tents, and drove their cattle, sheep, and horses to the west.
They are leaving the Western Regions and this lush pasture where they have lived for countless years. If they don't leave, they may really be exterminated by the Ming people. They are going to move to the Kazakh Khanate. This is their base camp of the Kazakhs. Here,
They also have a large number of Kazakhs.
As long as they move to the Kazakh Khanate, they will be safe, and they can even ask for help from the Kazakh Khanate and let the Kazakh Khanate avenge them.
Not only Kazakhs, Turks, and Mongolian tribes also began to migrate, but the Turks were also heading west, preparing to move to Central Asia and seek refuge with the Kazakh Khanate or Timur Khanate. As for the Mongols, they
They are preparing to go to the Oara in the north. They and the Oara tribes are all Mongols, so there is a possibility that they can be integrated together.
Uzbeks, Wusuns, Huihui, and Uighurs all have a large number of tribes that are constantly migrating westward. The Ming army's mass killings in the Western Regions have also made these tribes, large and small, afraid.
The Ming army destroyed the entire army of the Chagatai Khanate. Next, it was their turn to deal with them who had no resistance. If they didn't move, were they waiting to die?
It is said that the Ming Dynasty sold even the surrendered prisoners as slaves. It was said that these slaves would be sold to distant Southeast Asia to grow sugar cane and rice in extremely hot plantations.
This frightened the tribes of all sizes in the Western Regions and kept moving westward. They did not dare to surrender to the Ming Dynasty for fear of being sold as slaves by the Ming Dynasty people.
In addition, the people of the Ming Dynasty have begun to talk about the Western Regions. In the future, the Western Regions will have a Western Region Chief Envoy, and the system in the Western Regions will be based on the system in the Nanyang provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty will forcefully implement the Ming Dynasty's Confucian culture here in the Western Regions, requiring everyone to change their surnames to Han people, respect the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and learn Chinese etiquette.
This is the most difficult thing for tribes of all sizes in the Western Regions to accept. This is a civilized and ideological struggle. If they don’t leave, they will not be able to leave in the future. They may even have to give up their current beliefs and start learning everything about Confucianism.
The entire Western Region is undergoing a great migration. Tribes of all sizes, from the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, are heading to Central Asia, leaving the place where their ancestors have lived for generations.
In the cold winter, accompanied by blood and tears, accompanied by crying and helplessness, we embarked on the road of westward migration.
In this regard, the Ming army stationed in the Western Region did not stop them. Of course, it may be because the remaining people were basically old, weak, women and children. The Ming army no longer bothered to deal with them and actually allowed them to continue to move westward.
Some tribes are constantly migrating westward and want to go to the Western Region immediately. However, there are still many tribes who have no way to leave the Western Region because the Western Region is too big and the migration journey is too difficult.
They can only stay here and resign themselves to fate. They can do whatever the Ming people say and do whatever the Ming people tell them to do. They even trade them as slaves. They can only resign themselves to fate.
Across the Western Regions, Ming army teams of only five people appeared in various places in the Western Regions, and began to continuously convey Liu Jin's orders and edicts from the Emperor of Heaven to the various tribes still remaining in the Western Regions.
Tianxia South Road is where the Uighur people gather. The Uighur people mainly gather on Tianshan South Road. They rely on the melted water from the snowy mountains of Tianshan Mountain to develop agriculture and animal husbandry here.
In a small town where the Uighur tribe gathered, a five-man Ming army came quickly. Suddenly, the entire originally lively town suddenly became extremely deserted, and everyone quickly
Close the door and look through the window at these five Ming people in horror.
Some old men picked up their scimitars and bows and arrows, preparing to fight to the death with these wise men to protect the children and women here. As for the strong men, they had all been recruited by Mahemu Khan to fight. The news came back that they had all
He died and was killed by the Ming Dynasty people.
The Ming people here are like demons from hell. They can even control the cries of children at night. Everyone is so frightened that they hide in their houses and tremble.
"According to the edict of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will set up the Western Region Chief Envoy in the Western Regions, and requires all tribes in the Western Regions to send people to Alimari to discuss the establishment of the Western Region Chief Envoy!"
Li Qing looked at the town in front of him nervously. He could feel that there were bows and arrows pointed at him in every corner. To be honest, he was still very scared to come here with five of him.
But soon he became very calm and shouted loudly. One time was not enough, so he shouted three times in a row. At the same time, he also rode around the town on horseback, shouting continuously.
Li Qing spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and few people could understand it. However, the Western Regions had close contact with the Ming Dynasty, so some people could understand him. Soon, some people walked out of the house tremblingly and came to Li Qing's side.
This is an old man in his 60s, with white hair and beard, wearing a white hat, and he seems to be very knowledgeable. His name is Alimu, and he is a great imam. He has a very high status and status here, and he is also a
A very learned man, he was proficient in many languages, including Mingyu.
Accompanied by dozens of people, Alimu walked out tremblingly, came to Li Qing's side and said very respectfully: "Dear General Ming Dynasty, aren't you here to kill us all?"
Alimu had already heard about the Ming army's mass killings in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Countless tribes, large and small, were massacred by the Ming army.
"Can the five of us kill you all?"
Li Qing looked at the old man in front of him and asked, "What the hell?"
They are all Ming soldiers with morals, quality, and integrity. They have undergone strict training and education, and they will never dare to kill the old, weak, women, and children.
Yes, we were killing people in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, but that was also during war, and it was against the enemy. The Ming army had never touched the old, weak, women and children in the families of large and small tribes.
"General, you are here, what's the matter?"
Ali Mu thought for a while and nodded, then asked.
"I'm here to tell you that from now on, this Western Region will be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty's Western Region Chief Envoy, and all your tribes in the Western Region must submit to the Ming Dynasty from now on."
"Right now, the Emperor of Heaven is going to set up the Western Region Chief Envoy in the Western Regions. Every tribe in the Western Regions must send people to Alimari to attend a conference to discuss the establishment of the Western Region Chief Envoy."
Li Qing looked at them and said loudly.
When Alimu heard this, he translated Li Qing's words to the people present. Suddenly everyone knew the purpose of Li Qing's visit, and everyone in the town breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
As long as they are not here to kill them, everything else is easy to say. As for whether it will be the rule of the Mongol Khans, the Ming Emperor, or anything else from now on, it is irrelevant. Living is the most important thing.
